Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Moreover, the time flow of the five worlds is currently bound to the main world, which means that when you go to new worlds for training in the future, all worlds will be frozen, and you don't have to worry about things being different when you come back.

As for the side quest rewards, they are the incredibly powerful complete set of the Ten Divine Artifacts.

However, to be fair, the Demon Refining Pot that merged with the spatial ring is truly a bug-like existence. It can ignore the original settings of all realms and directly bring women out of the Xianxia world.

"Master, shall we let time continue to flow?"

"it is good."

Xiao Na made a grasping motion, and the spacetime that had been frozen in the main world began to move again.

Laughter and cheers filled the air as Su Jinyao threw a snowball at Su Xiaoning. The girl frantically dodged, clutching her head, but was hit on the ankle by a snowball made by Su Qingya. Meanwhile, Ling Yaxuan and the other two girls diligently mass-produced snowballs for the others to use…

Just as the women were having fun, Liu Qiuhua glanced at Ling Yun, but suddenly saw the unfamiliar Xiao Na.

"Yun'er, this is..."

"Oh, this is Xiaona, our newest member of the family."

Ling Yun carried Xiao Na towards the group of girls, and Gu Bingbing followed with a faint smile.

After a brief introduction of Xiaona, the women understood the source of Lingyun's current strength and took the initiative to ask to enter the Demon Refining Pot world.

After Ling Yun took them inside, he and Xiao Na returned to the warm house and began studying the Ten Divine Artifacts.

The Demon Refining Pot and the spatial ring have merged, which goes without saying.

The Demon-Suppressing Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword have also begun to merge under Xiaona's influence. It is expected to take several days, at which time a supreme divine sword that can suppress all realms will appear.

The Haotian Tower, capable of subduing all demons and evil spirits, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which possesses similar abilities, begin to merge, and will eventually become one with Lingyun.

The Kongtong Seal hangs above the Demon-Refining Pot's space, its immortality array ensuring that all women entering the space remain eternally youthful and immortal. The Shennong Cauldron, used for refining elixirs, is placed in the alchemy room, available for women of their choice to refine. The Fuxi Qin resides in a secluded boudoir in the space's backyard, awaiting Nicole's demonic influence to be eradicated and her resurrection many years later.

Xiaoxue is still the reincarnation of Nuwa Stone; possessing her is equivalent to possessing the divine artifact itself.

The Kunlun Mirror, which allows him to travel through time, and the Pangu Axe, which allows him to travel through the void, have both been incorporated into Ling Yun's body. This is one of the privileges that allows him to traverse the void and travel through countless worlds.

As for the Eastern Emperor Bell, the most powerful of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, capable of destroying the heavens and earth and devouring all the heavens, it was lying quietly in Ling Yun's hand at this moment.

"Nana, is this clock really that powerful?"

"Well, the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell can be said to be almost limitless. The stronger the master, the stronger the power it can transmit. However, I still suggest that you use it as material for Mo Bai to devour."

"what?"

"Oh dear, Mo Bai was the weapon that Master carried with him when he traveled to the first world. Doesn't Brother want it to become stronger?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit wasteful?"

"No way." Xiao Na hugged Ling Yun's neck, knelt on his lap, and looked down at him, saying, "Brother, you don't want Mo Bai to be overshadowed by the upcoming divine sword, do you?"

Ling Yun chuckled, noticing that Xiao Na's shameless tone had a touch of his own, and readily agreed.

He was a little unaccustomed to suddenly losing his favorite weapon. Seeing the women chatting happily in the space, he didn't disturb them, but instead gently opened up the space in front of him with his right hand.

As his fingertips slid down, a pitch-black void rift appeared before him.

The crack began to expand rapidly and soon became a solid void gate.

Beyond the door lay a war-torn feudal world. Ling Yun saw the Third Prince rising up in rebellion, and two factions of soldiers fighting each other amidst the flames of war.

With a single step, he vanished from the main world, but this time, time and space did not stand still.

A woman dressed in a red robe emerged from a remote village in the main world.

The woman was tall and slender, with light makeup on her face. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she had her own unique charm.

However, the demonic energy emanating from her body revealed that she was not yet able to control her own power.

"From today onwards, my name will be Mingyu."

The woman said something indifferently, then turned around and knelt down several times in front of the village to express her gratitude for the help that had transformed her.

Mingyu glanced into the distance, then her figure vanished like a shadow.

In a feudal world, on a small boat on a lake in the Jiangnan region.

A stunningly beautiful woman was making tea inside the boat, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the lake, as if she were reminiscing about something.

"Alliance Leader Pei, is the five taels per night still valid?"

The familiar male voice reached her ears, and Pei Xiayan turned her head in surprise to look at the bow of the ship. There stood a handsome young man in white, holding a folding fan and smiling broadly.

Pei Xiayan choked up immediately and said softly.

"That's too little! At least add another five taels!"

Chapter 379 So far away

In the world of martial arts, Ji Wei, who was sparring with Ouyang Jie, suddenly sensed something, turned around, and saw the young man who had frequently appeared in her dreams for more than a month.

Ouyang Jie was also stunned, then she and Ji Wei suddenly threw themselves into his arms, playfully punching him a few times...

In the zombie world, after leaving a large sum of money to Master Ren and Uncle Jiu, Ling Yun left with Ren Tingting and Dong Xiaoyu.

In the world of martial arts, Lingyun stands tall amidst the clouds, his unprecedented power spreading to all corners of the world, with nations paying homage and witnessing the arrival of the first god-king in history.

On the same day, the Yan Kingdom's palace rose from the ground, and Lingyun left with many palace maids and concubines.

Huang Rong, Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, Mu Wanqing, Gan Baobao, Dao Baifeng, Zhong Ling, Wu Yazi, Li Qingluo, Wang Yuyan, Cheng Lingsu, Dai Qisi, Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu, Princess Jianning, Luo Bing, Mao Dongzhu, Tong Piaoyun, Li Qinglu, Li Qiushui... Even the palace maids who had bathed and changed his clothes in Dali were all taken away by him.

Inside the Demon Refining Pot space, surrounded by women, Ling Yun enjoyed several days of blissful existence. He then released the women to let them see the modern cities of the main world, and instructed them not to use any unconventional powers to avoid being widely reported by the media.

He also didn't forget some women in the main world, such as his cousin Su Xiaoning, Sun Ying from the Sun family, his company's secretary Luo Xiaofeng, and all the women in the entire Immortal Spirit Secret Realm, bringing them all into his ranks.

A few days later, however, shocking news broke that was no less devastating than a magnitude 9 earthquake.

The immortal sect that has been living in seclusion for countless years has reappeared in the world!

The news quickly spread around the world, but now those big shots were all Ling Yun's subordinates. They immediately passed the news on to Ling Yun and shared the exact location with each other. They also deployed modern weapons from various countries and aimed them at the mountain gate to prevent them from coming out and causing harm to the world.

Strangely, these cultivation sects only appeared in the world but did not leave the mountains, and ordinary people could not enter these sects, so the two sides were deadlocked.

Ling Yun didn't take it too seriously when he found out. If he had only known martial arts skills at the beginning, he probably would have sought immortal techniques at all costs.

But now, he's too lazy to even look at the immortal techniques offered to him, thinking they're beneath him.

He arrived at the Imperial Capital Commercial Building, the predecessor of the Ya Yun Group and the location of the Dragon Vein.

Ling Yun's top-tier X-ray vision, no different from his fiery eyes, allowed him to see through the direction of the Earth's core dragon vein and directly tear through space to reach the depths of the dragon vein.

He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the dragon vein that carried the entire world, using his powerful devouring ability.

Two weeks later, as the New Year approached, Lingyun opened his eyes.

He devoured the entire dragon vein, and now his strength seems to have surpassed the EX level, but he doesn't know exactly how much.

Dragon veins seem to exist only in the main world, and not even in the powerful world of immortals and heroes, indicating that they are extremely extraordinary.

After two weeks, the women had gotten used to life in the main world. There were simply too many of them; thankfully, the Su family manor was large enough to accommodate them. However, they were somewhat lonely in Ling Yun's absence, but the powerful allure of electronic technology and board games kept them entertained.

When Ling Yun returned, he saw a pair of eyes like those of hungry wolves. He coughed lightly and closed the door...

He didn't travel to other worlds anymore, but stayed in the main world to be with the women. He already had enough women, and his life was quite carefree. If he felt that things were getting boring, he could go to other worlds to experience different customs and cultures.

Good news came from the Dragon Kingdom Research Institute: Hou Jinfei has successfully developed an antimatter annihilation bomb.

One millionth of a gram of antiproton annihilates (explodes) with a proton, releasing energy equivalent to 37.8 kilograms of TNT. One gram of antimatter is equivalent to about 40,000 tons of TNT—equivalent to the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on the island.

After this terrifying weapon of mass destruction was unveiled, probably only Ling Yun in the whole world would dare to touch it.

To test its effectiveness, Ling Yun took a sample and brought it into the Demon Refining Pot space, detonating it tens of thousands of kilometers away from the courtyard.

The shockwave from the explosion swept across thousands of kilometers, but its explosive power was many times more terrifying than that of a nuclear bomb.

As the storm subsided, Ling Yun appeared unharmed at the epicenter of the explosion, and with his eyes slightly closed, he assessed the intensity of the attack.

"It's almost at the SSS level in terms of power. No wonder it could kill those immortal beings who had emerged from the world in the original future."

Immortals are not immortal; they possess various means of survival. However, within a radiation range of thousands of kilometers, under temperatures and pressures countless times hotter than the sun, even the most insignificant immortal king would perish instantly. Only those who transcend the level of immortals and reach the status of "gods" can survive.

After Ling Yun came out, he highly praised Hou Jinfei's work and urged him to work harder to produce more.

After the New Year, Lingyun resumed his studies. After experiencing many different scenes, he returned to his original school days.

Today is Tuesday morning, and it's Zhao Yingxuan's class.

Ling Yun continued to chat and laugh softly with Qi Jingjing. Zhao Yingxuan glanced at the two of them and shook her head helplessly.

The young man seemed to notice her gaze and gave her a slight smile, which made the pretty economic law teacher a little embarrassed.

After school, Lingyun told Qi Jingjing to go home first, and then ran out with Zhao Yingxuan.

"Teacher Zhao, are you free for dinner tonight?"

"No, I'm busy."

Just as Zhao Yingxuan was about to leave, Ling Yun grabbed her wrist.

"Ling Yun... let go!"

The beautiful teacher blushed, feeling utterly ashamed as she looked at the teachers and students around her who were casting suggestive glances at her.

Ling Yun led her to his sports car. Although Zhao Yingxuan was initially reluctant, she eventually got in with Ling Yun.

"Teacher Zhao, would you do me the honor of joining us?"

"Hmph, I... I've already gotten into your car, and you're still saying this to me?"

The young man's skin was now incredibly thick. He casually put his arm around her waist and said to Ling Yaxuan in front of him, "Yaxuan, let's go to the usual place."

Ling Yun seemed determined to win over Zhao Yingxuan tonight, and the beautiful teacher seemed to know her fate and did not put up much resistance. Perhaps she had been prepared for this ever since she first met the young man.

Halfway through the meal, seeing that Ling Yun remained well-behaved and did not make any advances towards her, Zhao Yingxuan felt a little disappointed.

She glanced at the time and, seeing that the event was about to start, took out her phone and opened the game.

Ling Yun glanced at her casually and was stunned when he saw her game name. Then he chuckled and said, "Teacher Zhao plays Legend of Sword and Fairy too?"

"Ah."

Zhao Yingxuan placed her phone face down on the table, a little embarrassed: "Although the gameplay and art style have improved, I always feel that the current games are missing something."

"Speaking of which, I used to play a mobile game called 'Chinese Paladin'..."

Ling Yun smiled as he recalled the past. Even with his extraordinary abilities, finding the woman from his past would still be a difficult task.

However, after Ling Yun finished recounting these events, he noticed that Zhao Yingxuan's eyes were already brimming with tears...

Neither of them slept much that night. Lingyun got what he wanted, filling the regret he had carried for so many years.

The next day, amidst the eager anticipation of countless people, the gate to immortality opened!

Chapter 380 The Ancient War

With the opening of the immortal gate, Ling Yun felt that the spiritual energy of the entire world seemed to be more abundant.

It seems that when these sects went into seclusion back then, they absorbed all the spiritual energy of the world, causing the cultivation methods that had been scattered abroad to fail to gain traction.

Ling Yun actually has the power to directly bombard these sects, but now the entire planet is his backyard. He prefers ordinary people to believe in science rather than choose the cultivation method that places extreme emphasis on qualifications and transcends the law.

Therefore, he would use modern weapons to strike down these sects one by one, making people believe that technology is the primary productive force.

Countries are on high alert, but after the cultivators emerged, although they also went into the circles of ordinary people, they only recruited apprentices and disciples.

After they went into seclusion, they did not remain unchanged. Otherwise, after thousands of years, there would probably be very few of those so-called immortals left. They were secretly searching for qualified people in the surrounding small areas.

Judging from the information gathered, it seems they are searching for something, but even after capturing and interrogating some junior disciples, they cannot get accurate answers.

It seems that the "dragon vein" was mentioned.

Little did they know, the dragon vein had already been completely devoured by Lingyun.

Lingyun is now almost one with the Ten Divine Artifacts. Even without using the Xuanyuan Sword and Mo Bai, he is enough to suppress demons and evil spirits, far exceeding the imagination of the native cultivators.

A few more days passed, and the friction between the cultivators and ordinary people still broke out. After all, they were self-proclaimed "immortals," and even the newly initiated disciples looked down on those "mortals." Their words and actions were often arrogant and condescending, which eventually escalated into a bloody conflict.

However, the Dragon Kingdom reacted quickly. With the newly developed antimatter annihilation bomb, a large sect located near the capital was directly razed to the ground, which caused great panic among the cultivators, who once again went into hiding.

This greatly dampened the sect's spirit and made the general public realize that the so-called immortals were nothing more than that, and those who originally had some bad ideas quieted down.

"Boss, recently quite a few people above S-rank have been approaching the Imperial Capital Commercial Building, and another one has arrived now."

Ling Yaxuan and her two companions kept a close watch on the movements of this group of people, and were to warn Ling Yun if there was any disturbance.
