I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

Just as Ophelia was about to speak, Alice's voice came from outside the door:

"Second Senior Sister, Master brought the Holy Mountain! The Holy Sword is still on it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was suddenly pushed open.

Alice was about to say something more to urge her second senior sister to go and take a look, but the words caught in her throat the moment she saw the scene inside the room. She froze on the spot, her eyes wide open.

"You, you, you—!?"

Elena, holding her teacup, turned her head to look at the girl by the door with a high ponytail and a few withered leaves stuck in her hair.

She recognized the girl; she had met her a few times back in the capital.

Alice, the youngest daughter of the Duke of the East.

At that time, Alice was a noble lady with a unique personality, held by her mother's hand. It is said that she later ran away from home to become an adventurer. The Duke's mansion claimed that she had gone to "travel" incognito. Unexpectedly, she came here to cultivate immortality.

"Miss Alice, it's been a long time." Elena put down her teacup and smiled slightly.

Alice's mouth opened and closed repeatedly before she finally managed to squeeze out, "Elena von Pompeii? What are you doing here?"

She then saw Elena sitting opposite her second senior sister, with a chessboard in front of them, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. An unbelievable thought popped into her mind.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be Master's...that one..."

"A Daoist partner," Ophelia finished for her.

Alice was struck dumb, taking a half-step back and grabbing the door frame to steady herself.

She remembered that Lilith had mentioned the name "Elena" when she was having a heated discussion with Mason about the plot of their new book and hadn't paid any attention to it.

—The viscount's daughter actually became his master's wife?

What about seniority? She's the daughter of a duke, and now she has to call a viscount's daughter "teacher's wife"?

Alice's mind raced. A few moments later, she put on a big smile and sweetly greeted, "Hello, Master's wife!"

Elena almost choked on the title "Master's wife," and coughed lightly. "Just call me Elena."

"How can that be! The seniority can't be messed up!" Alice said seriously, rushing to the table in a few strides. Her eyes fell on the chessboard. "Huh, what's this? A chess set that Master brought back from another world?"

Ophelia nodded slightly.

Alice, intrigued, moved a chair over and squeezed between the two. "How do I get down? How do I get down? Teach me!"

Elena glanced at Ophelia, seeing that she followed her lead, then picked up a black stone and briefly explained the basic rules of Go: liberties, eyes, capture, life and death...

Alice nodded repeatedly, picked up a white piece and tried a few moves, but quickly lost patience.

"This is way too hard! Is there an easier way to play?"

Of course there is.

Elena recalled her casual conversation with Ji Tian earlier and casually said:

How about a version of Gomoku where five pieces in a row win?

Alice's eyes lit up. "That's great! It sounds simple."

The three then switched to playing Gomoku (Five in a Row).

Alice was usually just lazy, but her comprehension and intelligence were extremely high. She won against Elena in the third round and was so excited that she danced around, shouting, "I won! I won!"

"Master's wife, could you give me this chessboard and chess pieces? Consider it a gift from you!" Alice, who was never one to hold grudges, quickly accepted the fact that she now had a master's wife. She picked up the chessboard, blinked her eyes, and looked on expectantly.

Elena chuckled, "Your master bought several sets, take them."

……

At the edge of the bluestone square, the sacred mountain stands majestically.

Ji Tian sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands forming hand seals. Spiritual energy, like threads, wrapped around, compressed, and reshaped the entire mountain. The golden runes on the mountain's surface went from dim to bright, and then from bright back to restrained.

What is the most important thing in making the [Heaven-Turning Seal]?

Ji Tian, ​​the only weapon-refining master in the world, has his own unique insights into this matter.

Of course, the two characters "翻天" (Fan Tian) were engraved on the bottom of the seal!

After nearly two hours of refining, the sacred mountain had shrunk from the height of a three- or four-story building to just over one person's height, its entire body radiating a warm golden light, with the words "Turning the Heavens" faintly visible at the bottom of the seal.

He reached out and the large seal fell into his palm, heavy as if it held the yearning and belief of countless people for "protection" over thousands of years.

Now that he has uprooted the sacred mountain, he will naturally fulfill his corresponding duties and live up to his reputation as a hero.

"Now that the Heaven-Turning Seal is almost complete, it's time to put the reshaping of the Heavenly Dao and the re-creation of the Thunder Tribulation and the Inner Demon Tribulation on the agenda."

Ji Tian muttered to himself as he stored the seal and the holy sword on it into his Purple Mansion.

He stood up and scanned the disciples' residence with his divine sense. Elena had just come out of Ophelia's room and was heading towards the Bluestone Square.

Ji Tian took a step forward and landed next to Elena.

"Finished talking?"

Elena took his arm. "Hmm, Ophelia is quite nice, and your third apprentice is very lively. Come on, take me to see where you live."

Ji Tian nodded and naturally put his arm around her waist. "Let's go, I've prepared a room for you."

Elena nestled against him, her soft hand gently clasping the fingers that were wrapped around her, and asked expectantly, "The room? Whose room?"

Ji Tianzheng paused slightly as he was about to break through the air, knowing that his plan to cultivate intensively all night was likely to fail again. "...Mine."

Elena smiled with satisfaction.

Behind the main hall is Ji Tian's residence.

The door was closed by Elena as soon as it was pushed open, and the moonlight streaming in through the window outlined her slender waist. "Ji Tian, ​​I have a question for you. Answer honestly."

"you say."

"Did you learn your approach to treating apprentices from me?"

"……yes."

"I knew it!" Elena turned around and poked his chest. "Back in the manor, I taught you to read, provided you with food and clothing, and kept you by my side. And what did you do? You copied that and started raising apprentices? And several of them at that!"

Ji Tian knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to refute.

Elena grew angrier the more she thought about it, but then realized she didn't really have any right to be angry, since her feelings for Ji Tian weren't exactly innocent either.

She sighed, "Never mind, I haven't even seen how your room is decorated yet."

After saying this, he looked around:

Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see the simple furnishings: a bed, a table, a chair, and a bookshelf in the corner with several manuscripts on it.

Elena looked around and commented softly, "Even simpler than I expected."

"Those who cultivate need not go through complicated procedures."

"Hmm, a cultivator~" Elena turned around, chuckled, placed her hands on his shoulders, tiptoed closer to his ear, and whispered seductively, "Then let's not cultivate for now~"

Ji Tian looked down at her blonde hair in a high ponytail and her somewhat dazed eyes, then picked her up and carried her to the bedside.

The bed curtains and canopy fell simultaneously, concealing the enchanting atmosphere of the room.
