After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"The Shangyue Sect..." Shi Hongjian turned her gaze to Shangyue Qingqing, "...has been raising a desolate demon."

Or perhaps—

"It was the Desolate Demon who nurtured the 'Upper Moon Sect.'"

"Only by relying on the power of the Desolate Demon can one break through the realm with such strange and ingenious techniques."

"Moreover..." Shi Hongjian revealed a hint of sarcasm.

She had promised to help Shangyue Xin break through the barrier.

I only told last month's letter a tiny bit, a tiny little secret.

But given Shi Hongjian's personality, how could she possibly add an uncertain enemy to her future ambitions?

"Even if you break through to a higher realm, what's the difference between the Enlightenment Realm, which has no rules, and the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"

"The spiritual energy has increased several times over?"

"For cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm, is spiritual energy... still of any use?"

"He's just a Super Tribulation Realm cultivator." Whether he can defeat Qin Suhuai, who has wielded the Azure Lotus Sword, is another matter entirely.

"Does Shi Yan know why I'm so wary of the Lord of Langya Pavilion..." Shi Hongjian suddenly changed the subject, turning the conversation to the tavern owner.

"Why..." Shi Yan was quite cooperative.

“Because…” A hint of fear appeared in Shi Hongjian’s eyes.

"She has countless forms."

"But... each incarnation holds a different path."

Although it was just one person...

Yet it can rival the world.

Part 421 I am willing to imprison the mortal world with my own strength [First update, 4K words]

Listening to Shi Hongjian's words.

Shi Yan and Shang Yueqing were both stunned and stood there.

Last month, Qingqing was pondering the information about the Dao that Shi Hongjian had mentioned.

Shi Yan, on the other hand, was thinking about the tavern owner.

In the game, Shi Yan traveled almost all over the Nine Provinces and Ten Regions. In every town in the Nine Provinces, there are two unchanging buildings.

One is a tavern.

One is Yinghua City.

No matter which town in Yinghua City Shi Yan was in, Shi Yan could always see Hua Xiangrong.

Now Shi Yan understood; it was because of Yunshang's special ability.

Every Yinghua City in the Nine Provinces and Ten Regions has a door leading to the Yinghua City Cabinet, behind which lies Yizhou... Nanjun City.

Hua Xiangrong was always there.

Taverns, however, present a completely different situation.

No matter which tavern it is, Mo Shu is always there.

She transforms into countless forms.

Shi Yan tried hard to recall the impression the tavern owner in the game had left on her.

Aside from her extremely flamboyant outfit and the glass that was always swaying with liquid... that was the most profound impression the tavern owner left on her character attribute panel.

It must be the landlady's innate good fortune.

"The reincarnation of the Martial Saint".

Shi Yan originally thought it was just a common reincarnation bond or something.

And at this moment... Shi Hongjian actually told her.

The tavern owner has countless incarnations, and... each of her incarnations embodies a different Dao.

Jin Chanzi has only been reincarnated ten times.

And this guy... actually... has been reincarnated countless times?

How exactly did she do it?

According to Shi Hongjian, the tavern owner should be the biggest boss in the entire Nine Provinces.

So……

She sees through everything and drives everything; it's no longer a possibility or a guess.

She certainly possesses that kind of strength.

"If that's really the case..."

"What exactly is her purpose?" Shi Yan pondered deeply.

Was it just because I had maxed out her favorability rating?

Shi Yan had a vague feeling that the truth of the matter was not so simple.

To give an example, it's like "a hardcore gamer created countless alt accounts, leveled them all up, and they were all on the same server."

Is this really the case?

Suddenly, an extremely outrageous idea popped into Shi Yan's mind.

"Sister Chieftain..."

Shi Yan rarely showed such a serious expression to Shi Hongjian. Shi Hongjian even felt a little uncomfortable with Shi Yan's overly serious demeanor.

"how?"

“I mean…” Shi Yan hesitated, “if…”

"But if—"

"The clan leader's path is 'Earth'..."

"So……"

"If I could comprehend the Dao of 'Earth' from my elder sister, the clan chief..."

"Can I break through to the next level and attain enlightenment?"

A dimly lit tavern.

The wine swirls in the crystal-clear glass.

The woman, slightly tipsy, leaned on the counter, her eyes glazed over.

Almost as soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, the woman's bright red lips slowly curved upwards.

"Well--"

A sweet, slightly tipsy voice.

"Great..."

"Shiyan is really great..."

"No matter what the teacher's words are..."

Loulan...

"They are all the best."

Jingle Bell……

The half-empty wine bottle slipped, and a tiny bit of the wine, which would make even a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm feel sorry for him, spilled out.

On the half-empty wine bottle, it was written in delicate and graceful handwriting.

"To provoke...shame."

dong dong! !

As Shi Yan asked the question, Shi Hongjian's dark golden pupils contracted.

There are no fools among the cultivators who can reach the Enlightenment Realm.

Even when she was being bullied by Shi Yan, she seemed somewhat helpless, at a loss, and even... a little embarrassed.

However, to be able to step into the Enlightenment Realm, and to be among the strongest in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands... Shi Hongjian is naturally a cultivator with great wisdom and even great perseverance.

She instantly understood what Shi Yan meant.

"Theoretically speaking..."

"No."

"This opportunistic approach is no different from what Xin is doing right now."

"It was merely stealing the Dao Fruit..."

"Don't even mention the extremely low probability of a breakthrough..."

"Even if they do break through, they'll just be a larger-scale 'Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator,' a fake Enlightenment Realm cultivator."

Hesitating, Shi Hongjian frowned, "She's no different from the Wen Wan of the past."

“Once upon a time—” Shi Yan caught the key point in Shi Hongjian’s words.

Yes... in the past.

"The once gentle and graceful woman was merely a fake Enlightenment Realm cultivator, struck by lightning and forced into seclusion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the 'Love Sea Demon Sect' for a life-or-death cultivation."

"Her changes..."

"Until you..."

Shi Hongjian stopped speaking.

Shi Yan understood what Shi Hongjian wanted to say.
