Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Outside the main hall of the Xuanming Sect.

Ancestor Xuanming staggered to the ground, and as soon as he regained his footing, he coughed up another mouthful of black blood.

His face was ashen white, and his already withered features now appeared even more grotesque.

His hand, clutching his chest, trembled slightly, and his eyes churned with fear and resentment.

"Ancestor!"

Upon seeing this, Ming Shang and the elders rushed forward to help him up, their faces filled with panic and confusion.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?"

Ming Shang asked cautiously, for he had never seen his ancestor in such a disheveled state.

"Yes, Ancestor, what happened to you?"

The other elders also spoke up, their voices filled with worry.

Ancestor Xuanming waved his hand, shaking off the support of the crowd.

He forced himself to walk to the first seat, a jade chair, and sat down.

He gasped for breath for a while before slowly opening his mouth, his voice hoarse and weak:

"The Azure Cloud Sect... was destroyed by Eternal Night Heaven, and that old bastard Jian Xiaotian is dead too!"

"What?!"

Ming Shang and the elders were struck dumb, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Ming Shang cried out in shock.

"The Qingyun Sect is a top-tier power with a history spanning thousands of years."

"With a late-stage Land Immortal like Jian Xiaotian overseeing things, how could they just be wiped out like that?"

"Yes, Ancestor, even if the Eternal Night Heaven is strong, it's impossible for them to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect in such a short time, right?"

An elder said with a face full of doubt.

A flicker of fear and lingering dread flashed in the eyes of the Xuanming Ancestor. He recalled the giant golden hand and couldn't help but shudder.

"My injury... was caused by Bai Yongyetian!"

"I never expected this! I really never expected this!"

"The Eternal Night Heaven actually harbors such terrifying strength; they... actually have a peak-level Earth Immortal expert!"

"What?! Peak-level Land Immortal?!"

An uproar erupted in the main hall, and Ming Shang and the elders' expressions changed drastically.

In the Five Realms, terrestrial immortals are already extremely rare.

The peak realm of terrestrial immortals is a legendary existence; I never expected that the Eternal Night Heaven would hide such a person!

Ancestor Xuanming took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart:

"Pass down the order: close the mountain gates tightly and increase security!"

"From this day forward, no one is permitted to engage in conflict with Eternal Night Heaven. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"

His voice carried an undeniable authority, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

After this lesson, he fully understood that the Eternal Night Heaven was definitely not something the Xuanming Sect could afford to offend.

If they are not careful, they will end up like the Qingyun Sect.

"Yes! I will obey the Ancestor's command!"

Ming Shang and the elders dared not be negligent in the slightest and responded in unison.

Only now did they truly realize that the threat posed by the mysterious Eternal Night was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

……

In the Eastern Region, the news of the Qingyun Sect's destruction spread like wildfire throughout the entire region in a very short time.

"What? The Qingyun Sect is gone?"

"Really? That's a top-tier power with a terrestrial immortal overseeing it!"

"It's absolutely true! I have relatives in a town near the Qingyun Sect."

I witnessed flames soaring into the sky and rivers of blood flowing in the direction of the Qingyun Sect.

"My God! That was the Qingyun Sect, a top-tier power! A top-tier power with a history spanning thousands of years, and even had a patriarch who was a terrestrial immortal presiding over it. How could it just disappear like that?"

"I heard that it was Yongyetian who made the move! That mysterious force!"

"Eternal Night Heaven? They actually killed even the patriarch of the Azure Cloud Sect? This level of strength is terrifying!"

"It seems the landscape of the Eastern Region is about to change..."

"Yongyetian is so ruthless, wiping out the entire Qingyun Sect overnight. We don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for us!"

Panic and awe intertwined, casting a shadow over the hearts of the major powers in the Eastern Region.

The name Yongyetian, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirred up countless ripples.

This put unprecedented pressure on everyone.

Deep within the ancestral lands of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Emperor Qian Tian stood solemnly before an ancient palace, reporting the situation to those inside:

"Grand Ancestor, the Qingyun Sect has been destroyed by the Eternal Night Heaven, and Jian Xiaotian has died in battle."

A moment of silence fell over the hall, then an aged yet authoritative voice rang out:

"The Qingyun Sect was destroyed by the Eternal Night Heaven?"

"Just who exactly is this Eternal Night Heaven?"

"When we destroyed the Nine Nether Demon Sect, there were extraordinary Celestial Realm experts involved."

"To be able to kill even Jian Xiaotian, a late-stage Earth Immortal, is truly remarkable!"

Qian Tian nodded:

"According to my guess, the Eternal Night Heaven might be a hidden force left over from ancient times."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a profound foundation."

"Now that the Qingyun Sect has been destroyed, should our dynasty take this opportunity to reclaim the territory it occupied?"

Qianlong shook his head: "No rush."

His gaze was profound: "The purpose behind Yongyetian's annihilation of the Qingyun Sect remains unknown."

"Taking the initiative to seize their spoils could easily backfire."

"Moreover, the five regions are about to be united, which is a time of great turmoil, and it is not advisable to make any more powerful enemies."

"Let's wait and see what Eternal Night Heaven does next."

"Yes, grandson understands," Qian Tian replied with a bow.

Wanfo Temple, Mahavira Hall.

After listening to his disciple's report, the abbot put his hands together in prayer and chanted a Buddhist mantra:

"Amitabha."

"The entire Qingyun Sect was wiped out, not even a chicken or a dog. Yongye Tian's bloodthirstiness is too great, it's against the harmony of heaven."

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes:

"Although Fellow Daoist Jian Xiaotian is competitive and eager to win, his crime does not warrant the extermination of his entire family."

"May Buddha have mercy, and wait for the world to recover and spiritual energy to flourish."

"Our Wanfo Temple will definitely seek justice for Fellow Daoist Jian Xiaotian and the innocent souls of the Qingyun Sect."

The high monks standing nearby clasped their hands together in prayer.

"I will obey the abbot's decree."

Wenxian Tower, the top floor pavilion.

Xing Luoyao held a cup of tea, listened to her subordinate's report, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled:

"Tsk tsk, the Qingyun Sect was wiped out by Yongye Tian!"

"The Eternal Night Heaven is truly ruthless and formidable. I knew they were no ordinary people."

Xing Xuanfeng stood by the window, gazing at the distant horizon, and nodded upon hearing this:

"That's really surprising."

"This Eternal Night Heaven has quite the ambition."

"Great ambition is good."

Xing Luoyao put down her teacup, a sly glint in her eyes.

"The five regions are about to merge. In this chaotic world, only the strong deserve to have a voice."

"Fortunately, I made a good connection with the people of Eternal Night Heaven back then, so maybe we can look out for each other in the future."

Xing Xuanfeng smiled helplessly:

"Only you are bold enough to deal with such a mysterious force."

"However... you're right, having a powerful ally is never a bad thing."

"That's natural."

Xing Luoyao proudly raised her chin.

"When did my intuition ever fail me?"

Xing Xuanfeng smiled indulgently: "Yes, yes, Fifth Sister is the best."

"Hehe!" Xing Luoyao laughed like a child.

……

Eternal Night Space, Monarch's Palace.

Jun Lin sat calmly on the black jade throne, listening to Yuan Tiangang's report.

"My lord, the Qingyun Sect has been completely destroyed, and all its resources have been brought back and are now stored in the vault."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Junlin's lips.

"very good."

"Leave the spirit stone behind."

"As for the remaining pills, cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, etc., those who contribute to this battle can choose the ones that suit them best."

"The rest, you may distribute as you see fit among the Bad Guys and the Drizzle Pavilion, to encourage everyone."

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Tiangang bowed and replied.

Ye Junlin waved his hand, signaling him to step back.

After Yuan Tiangang left, Ye Junlin activated the system:

"System, exchange all the spirit stones in the Eternal Night Space Treasure Vault for energy points."

[Received, Host!]

[Beginning to absorb spirit stones from the treasure vault... Beginning to exchange...]

As the system's mechanical beep sounded,

The mountain of spirit stones in the treasure vault is disappearing at a visible rate.

[Ding! Exchange successful! A total of 500,000 energy points have been exchanged!]

"Five hundred thousand points?"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Ye Junlin's eyes.

"It seems that the Qingyun Sect has a truly impressive foundation."

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with anticipation:

"Let's start with twenty spins of the lucky wheel!"

[Received! 20,000 energy points deducted, Lucky Wheel activated...]

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge virtual turntable appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Junlin.

The turntable spun rapidly, and the afterimages of various items flashed before Ye Junlin's eyes.

"Stop!" Ye Junlin shouted.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received: Thank you for your patronage nine times, two bags of spicy broad beans, two bags of ChaCha sunflower seeds, two bags of garlic peanuts, one bottle of Wuliangye liquor, one pack of Seven Degrees Space liquor, one carton of Hua Zi cigarettes, and one box of Durex condoms.]

As the system notification sound faded, a pile of items appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Ye Junlin.

Ye Junlin's smile froze on his face instantly. His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the things on the table.

Two bags of fancy-packaged, oddly flavored broad beans.

Two bags of sunflower seeds printed with the word "Qiaqia".

Two bags of garlic-flavored peanuts,

A beautifully packaged bottle of Wuliangye,

A pink and delicate Seven Degrees Space bag.

A pack of cigarettes printed with the word "Zhonghua" (中华).

There was also a box of Durex condoms with eye-catching packaging...

"Holy crap!"

Ye Junlin slammed his hand on the table, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.

"System, you're really something else! You're trying to scam me, aren't you! Nine times thank you for your patronage!"

He pointed at those things, trembling with rage:

"And look at what kind of junk you drew!"

"If I win food, drinks, or cigarettes, that's fine too."

"If I remember correctly, 'Seven Dimensions' refers to sanitary napkins, right?"

"What use would this thing be to me, a guy?"

"And Durex, if I remember correctly, those are condoms, right?"

"What the hell would I need this thing for?"

[Host! The Lucky Wheel relies entirely on random probability and luck; it has nothing to do with the system~]

The cold, mechanical system voice carried a hint of playfulness.

"By luck?"

Ye Junlin laughed in anger.

"So it's my own fault for being dark-skinned?"

Ye Junlin waved his hand, throwing all the "prizes" into the system space.

Finally, looking at the Seven Dimensions and Durex logos, the more I thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed:

"If my subordinates saw this thing, what would become of my dignity as a monarch?"

"No, let's try again!"

Ye Junlin refused to believe in evil spirits.

"I refuse to believe I won't get something good! Twenty more tries!"

[Received! 20,000 energy points deducted, Lucky Wheel activated...]

P.S.: Guys, what do you think we'll get?
