After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"During the day, they served tea and water to the slave owners, and at night they had to warm their beds."

"you say--"

"Why are you begging me?"

The Ninth Elder was heartbroken.

He simply wouldn't believe that a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm could become someone's slave...

In his view, this Master Jingse was just deliberately trying to raise Shiyan's status.

But... to make a Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator degrade himself to the level of a slave to elevate her status, the Ninth Elder could only say that this little girl was quite something.

Since Lord Jingse had spoken, he could only tremble and look at Shiyan with a shaking old face, "Nephew Shiyan..."

Shi Yan pinched the index finger of Xiao Jingse's left hand in an annoyed manner.

"Eek—" Sensing the excessive spiritual energy, the Pure Color Mandala almost let out a meow right there in the Taiyi Sect's reception hall. The girl's little jiojio, which had been swaying happily, suddenly stopped.

But in the end... the Pure Color Mandala held back.

She glared at Shi Yan with an almost embarrassed expression.

Then he gently licked his lower lip and tightly grasped Shi Yan's outstretched hand.

The terrifying aura of the Enlightenment Realm cultivator, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, finally dissipated in the hall.

Dongjun glanced at the pure-colored mandala with a solemn expression.

"Alright... let's stop here." She only spoke after the aura of the Pure Color Mandala dissipated.

Actually... she did see it just now.

It's not that I haven't thought about using my own momentum to fight back.

Even if Dongjun and Wenwan Mojun have some unspeakable relationship.

She wouldn't be so biased towards Shi Yan as to not react at all when the girls around him "attack" their own people.

At most, I can only do my best to make things easier for my teacher.

She would never compromise on bottom lines like the issue of the Taiyi Sect's succession.

The fundamental reason why Dongjun has remained silent is that he is still wary of the Pure Color Mandala.

She glanced at the pure-colored mandala.

In fact, before Shi Yan and the others returned to Taiyi Sect, Donghuang Jin had already reported the news about this girl to her.

According to Donghuang Jin, this girl, known as "Jingse," was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

He just surpassed her by one hair.

However... after arriving at the Taiyi Sect, Dongjun discovered that her cultivation level was not at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Rather, it is the state of enlightenment.

Moreover... perhaps these Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation Realm juniors won't be able to detect it.

Dongjun was able to sense that Jingse Mandala's cultivation level was only slightly higher than his own.

He was at the third level of the Enlightenment Realm, while she was at the peak of the third level of the Enlightenment Realm.

Not a penny more, not a penny less.

Even their 'touching' of the world seems to be only slightly overshadowing their own.

That's terrifying.

Recalling Donghuang Jin's description, "That girl named Jingse's cultivation level was just slightly higher than mine."

Aside from... the pure color mandala being used to conceal one's shortcomings.

Dongjun simply couldn't think of a second possibility.

She stared intently at the carefree smile of the Pure Color Mandala, but the more she looked at it, the more terrifying it became, and cold sweat poured down her back.

Even if it were Wen Wan or Huang Tian Hou Tu, the two from Wan Hua Valley who were just sitting here, she would stand up immediately.

But... a pure color mandala.

She really didn't see through it.

No matter how you look at it, they seem to be only slightly better than me.

Dongjun had no choice but to be cautious.

Besides... Shi Yan is, after all, that bastard's descendant. What's wrong with giving her some face?

Next time...may we meet again someday.

This means I can still use this incident as leverage to blackmail that bastard, making me take the lead or something...

After Dongjun spoke, the elders of Taiyi Sect sat down obediently like children.

Only the sect leader of Taiyi Sect glanced at Donghuang Li.

After the Ninth Elder was suppressed by the Pure Color Mandala, Donghuang Li felt relieved.

When the sect leader looked at her like that, she hurriedly pulled her hand away from Shi Yan's.

The sect leader's gaze fell on Shi Yan.

Shi Yan just gave her a forced smile.

The woman resumed her original posture of closing her eyes and resting.

Shi Yan didn't care about her status as the sect leader of Taiyi Sect.

What Shi Yan cared about was her identity as Donghuang Li's mother.

Within the Taiyi Sect, you can offend anyone but her.

Fortunately... due to the game's bizarre mechanics, I maxed out Donghuang Li's favorability, so the Sect Master's favorability should also be increasing rapidly.

So it's not a big problem.

As long as the sect leader's favorability doesn't rise to the level of Wenren Ermo or Xingzhuo, there shouldn't be any major problems.

“Miss Shi Yan—” Dong Jun gave Shi Yan a somewhat helpless smile.

"Lord Dongjun, you can just call me Shiyan," Shiyan said modestly.

Hmm... I also need to maintain Dongjun's favorability.

Who knows, maybe one day when I'm strong enough to defeat a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm, I'll carry Dongjun back from the Taiyi Sect to the Qinghai Demon Sect.

It's always good to build good relationships first.

It would be best if we could avoid using force at that time.

"Teacher's words."

"This junior is here."

“Actually, the Ninth Elder wasn’t targeting you…” she explained to Shi Yan, “If Xiao Tai Li were still alive, we wouldn’t object to your relationship with A Li.”

Shi Yan frowned slightly.

In the game, after maximizing Donghuang Li's favorability, Taiyi Sect never showed any sign of opposition.

On the contrary... they were all as happy as could be.

Especially the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect sitting opposite him.

She practically wanted to tie Donghuang Li up, pack her up, and send her to her own room.

When I settled in Taiyi Sect, they didn't even arrange a room for me.

By default, she ended up living with Donghuang Li.

But now... Shi Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Is it because of a timeline issue?

Dongjun continued to explain to Shiyan, "After Xiao Taili disappeared... A Li carried the mission of inheriting the bloodline of Donghuang."

"The bloodline of the Eastern Emperor is very special."

“I know…” Shi Yan nodded.

【通合于天】么。

The bloodline abilities of the Taiyi Sect.

You can only obtain innate destiny in the second playthrough after arriving at Taiyi Sect in the first playthrough.

For warlocks, this is an almost heaven-defying innate fortune.

Who in the entire land doesn't know this?

“No…it’s more special than you think.” Dongjun reached out his hand.

One after another, bright white fireballs rose from her fingertips.

Master Yan could sense that each fireball was a spell.

Inside the hall, several elders looked at the fireball in Dongjun's hand with a mixture of envy and melancholy.

The former Dongjun was also a cultivator who was proficient in all five meridian techniques.

That is something that the heir or shadow heir of the Taiyi Sect must master.

But... after Dongjun's elder brother inherited the Taiyi Sect, she was able to do what she wanted and become who she wanted... becoming a pure 'fire mage'.

Her generation was very special.

Because there was no suitable shadow, she, a woman, had to disguise herself as a man by changing her hairpin and hat.

Even today, Dongjun sometimes wonders... if he hadn't become his elder brother's shadow, would he have avoided getting involved with that bastard from the Love Sea Demon Sect?

"Among the holders of the Eastern Emperor bloodline... occasionally a bloodline ability called [Connecting with Heaven] will appear."

"Kotari."

“Ah Li…it’s all the same.”

"And if two people who both possess the bloodline ability of 'Connecting with Heaven' unite, their offspring will also possess the bloodline ability of 'Connecting with Heaven'."
