When you wake up again, the first thing you feel is not weakness and pain, but a surge of immense power coursing through your body.

Then came the familiar scent wafting from the tip of my nose.

[You felt a sudden urge, and before you even opened your eyes, a soft, helpless voice rang out first:]

"My lord, I'm scared~"

【Then...】

Then your nose was pinched.

You angrily opened your eyes and met Gu Wudao's mocking gaze.

[That clueless straight man, he has absolutely no sense of romance!]

You turn your head away, using the back of your head to protest.

"Azure Phoenix Holy Body, shouldn't my wife explain this to me?"

You felt a pang of guilt and slowly shifted your gaze back. Seeing that Gu Wudao's eyes held no murderous intent, nor any other emotion, you felt a sudden sense of unease.

You carefully tugged at his sleeve and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Don't be angry, my husband~"

Gu Wudao stared at you for a long time, then suddenly chuckled softly.

The laughter was soft, yet it made my chest tremble slightly, and even my arms, which were holding you, loosened a little.

You were momentarily stunned; this was the first time you'd ever heard him laugh so genuinely.

【"angry?"】

He looked down at you, his usually calm and unwavering dark eyes now filled with undisguised admiration.

"Why am I angry?"

His fingertips gently brushed against the bridge of your nose, a movement tinged with an unusual tenderness.

"The more talented you are, the happier I am. Only when you are strong enough can you stand shoulder to shoulder with me. What I need is not a canary that only hides behind me when trouble arises."

【Boy! I acknowledge your will as well!】

Gu Wudao's personality is quite to your liking. Perhaps you could have him become sworn brothers with you, along with Lao Liu and Xiao Fanzi.

Han Xuan is still under observation; that kid is too cautious!

Feeling the immense power within you, you glance around and realize you are currently in the main hall inside the airship.

You licked your lips, a hint of rebellion creeping in.

Gu Wudao keenly sensed your thoughts, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.

"Huh? Why do I suddenly feel a little chilly?"

You looked up, puzzled, and met a rather familiar gaze.

That's the look that appears in Gu Wudao's eyes every time he thanks you!

Oops, I got a little too cocky.

You gave an awkward smile, trying to pull away from his embrace, but he grabbed you and held you firmly.

The next moment, the sound of the gauze curtain falling and your exclamation rang out simultaneously.

The moonlight in the night sky was mostly swallowed up by the drifting clouds, leaving only a few strands of silvery white light to spill into the hall, creating a hazy, warm glow...

Several months later, you returned to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

[You used all your strength to finally break free from Gu Wudao's entanglement and gained precious time for cultivation.]

While cultivating spiritual roots and spiritual power should be prioritized, these cannot be improved overnight.

Now that you have the backing of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, you'd feel like you're letting yourself down after all these years of suffering if you didn't take full advantage of them.

First and foremost are special mineral veins.

This kind of resource is considered extremely precious even among second-tier sects like the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect and the Joyful Union Sect.

However, given the size of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, setting aside a portion to support you, their young mistress, shouldn't be a problem.

[Over the next ten years, you used the privileges granted to you by Gu Wudao to obtain a near-unlimited supply of attribute spirit stones, pushing the purity of the five types of spiritual energy to its current peak.]

[Subsequently, you found five Golden Core stage spells of different attributes within the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, all of which were extremely simple.]

Reaching the pinnacle of magical arts is inherently difficult, and the more complex and profound the art, the harder it is to hone it to its ultimate form. Your ultimate goal is to master the Void Manifestation technique within the "Ultimate Return to Void Technique," not to use these techniques against enemies.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect's cultivation technique pavilion boasts an extremely rich collection of books; you certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

You spent three years immersed in it, reading almost every book you could find.

To become a strong person, accumulating these fundamental qualities is also a crucial step.

[Among them are many powerful cultivation techniques, but you did not choose to switch to them.]

Most demonic techniques offer quick results, but everything comes at a price; you always have to give up something important.

As for those advanced cultivation techniques, the time and resources required to practice them are even greater than those for orthodox cultivation methods.

Your path to immortality is closely related to the simulator's terms and tasks, so there's no need to covet those seemingly powerful cultivation techniques.

After all, the secret techniques and spells you currently possess have already consumed a great deal of your mental energy; trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure.

Of course, you're still quite interested in some powerful formations or spells.

[You've collected five or six fourth-order formations alone, and you've also found two fifth-order formations that suit you.]

[Regarding spells, you are mainly looking for powerful lightning spells. Although such spells are not common in demonic sects, you have still found three.]

[One Golden Core stage thunder technique, two Nascent Soul stage techniques.]

[Over the past three years, your cultivation level has not improved at all, but in your view, this is the greatest gain you have made since coming to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.]

[After all, in the world of cultivation, to be able to freely access the cultivation manuals of a sect, especially a super sect like this, requires extraordinary means; one would likely need to possess overwhelming power to achieve this.]

The time that follows will be spent peacefully in your full-fledged cultivation.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside a white jade pavilion perched on a cliff.

At this moment, you are frowning, clutching a chess piece, staring at the chessboard on the stone table, hesitant to make a move.

Gu Wudao sat opposite you, casually toying with a black chess piece in his hand.

"Still haven't decided?"

"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking!"

[When you're playing chess, you're undoubtedly at your most volatile; the fire-attribute spiritual energy around you is practically bursting into flames.]

"Behold my Heavenly Demon Transformation!"

After a moment, your eyes lit up, and you slammed the chess piece onto the board. Then you secretly glanced at the boy opposite you, hoping to see a look of panic on his face.

However, reality ultimately disappointed you.

Gu Wudao merely glanced at you with a strange expression, then quickly placed a piece.

【"......"

You stared intently at the chessboard, then gracefully tossed down the piece in your hand.

"As expected of the young sect master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, his chess skills are truly remarkable!"

Seeing your attempt to elevate your own level by praising your opponent, Gu Wudao's eyes were filled with disdain, and he said mercilessly:

"With your skill level, you might as well go and play chess with the monsters guarding the mountain gate."

[After a long silence, you suddenly sprang to life, baring your teeth and claws as you lunged at the utterly irritatingly grinning boy opposite you.]

"Gu Wudao! I'll fight you to the death today!!!"
