Chapter 102

Emperor Qin II: "Good. Next time you meet someone arrogant, you're the one to take them down."

Xiong Ba: "…"

Xiong Ba: "You're too smart. By the way, I'm planning to capture the Qilin and present it to Dao Jun Taixuan in exchange for a world inside a flask—just hide away there. What do you think?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course, the Qilin can be exchanged. But why go through so much trouble?"

Xiong Ba: "Trouble?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Since you know Feng Yun are the destined protagonists of heaven and earth, just capture them."

Su Xiao: "Exactly. Teach them divine arts, give them the women they want. Rewrite the Heavenly Dominance Sect's rules to serve the people's welfare. Won't Nie Feng come over to your side then?"

Su Xiao: "Bu Jingyun is much the same—he's just cold on the outside, but warm-hearted inside. If you make the Heavenly Dominance Sect better and treat him sincerely, what revenge would he still seek?"

Xiong Ba: "Thank you both for the advice—I simply didn't think of it."

Yue Buqun: "That's what happens when you've been a villain too long—you've forgotten that hearts can be won with hearts."

Xiong Ba: "Don't talk down to me, Master Yue—you're no different."

Master Yue: "…"

Su Xiao: "Hahaha… Master Yue probably forgot he's a villain!"

Yue Buqun: "I am a righteous gentleman!"

Xiong Ba: "Do you believe that yourself? 【face full of disdain】"

Yue Buqun: "Xiong Ba, are you really out to get me?!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Enough. We're all in this chat group—no need to argue. @Xiong Ba, if you need anything, ask Su Xiao. In modern society, there are plenty of grain strains yielding a thousand or even several thousand jin per mu. When necessary, you can even ask modern experts to design a perfect plan to reform the Heavenly Dominance Sect."

Xiong Ba: "Young Lady Su, would this work? 【red packet】"

Su Xiao: "No problem. Previously, I lent five thousand people to Huang Rong—her world is well-managed. Now, I can recruit another batch for you, but you must guarantee their safety."

Xiong Ba: "No problem. I'll have Feng Yun personally guard them."

Su Xiao: "Then it's settled. I'll go recruit them!"

Xiong Ba: "Thank you for your trouble."

As they spoke, the chat group's notification chimed.

【Ding, Ye Hei has opened a live stream. Would you like to watch?】

Su Xiao: "Whoa, Ye Hei's on Mars?"

Opening the live stream, they saw a massive coffin resting on an ancient altar. Nine dragon corpses pulled iron chains before a bronze coffin; even through the stream, a sense of desolation washed over them.

Ye Hei stood on the altar and spoke mentally into the stream: "I've cultivated the divine art. Now I'm on Mars—we're about to explore the ancient structure ahead."

Su Xiao: "Whoa, remember the Bodhi seeds under the Bodhi tree? That was your early-game cheat."

Ye Hei: "Cheat? Am I someone who cheats? My strength today comes entirely from my own effort…"

Su Xiao: "Shenlan, add points!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Be serious. There's a sealed Great Sage on Mars."

Ye Hei: "Great Sage? Can you beat him, Senior?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Can't beat him, can't beat him. If you meet him, good luck."

Yue Buqun: "Even Dao Jun can't beat him?"

Xiong Ba: "No way?"

Zhang Taixuan: "I'm only at the peak of Immortal Stage One. Immortal Stage Four is a Saint. Immortal Stage Five is a Saint King. Immortal Stage Six is a Great Sage. There are five grand realms between us. Even if Zu E was sealed too long and only retains Saint-level power, I still couldn't beat him. But if I'm there, escaping won't be a problem."

Ye Hei: "No way, that brutal?!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Just be careful. Don't get killed."

Ye Hei: "Got it."

Seeing the other classmates move forward, Ye Hei hurried after them.

With his strength fully developed, he moved swiftly and arrived at the outer gates of Lei Yinsi faster than anyone else. Following Su Xiao's guidance, he easily found the Bodhi seed.

"Cheat acquired!" Group's August bonus book: Steal Book Die Mom Die Whole Family

He mentally spoke in the chat group, then suddenly cried out, "Whoa, this thing's worth two million points!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Surprised? This is an Immortality Herb—it can let an Emperor live another lifetime, maintaining peak power for tens of thousands of years. Nothing like the longevity herbs in low-cultivation worlds!"

Longevity herbs in low-cultivation worlds may grant ten thousand years of life, but they're useless to Emperor-level beings.

The life force consumed daily by mortals and Emperors is vastly different.

Su Xiao: "So envious."

Xiong Ba: "Tens of thousands of years? Dao Jun, if we time-travel there, wouldn't we…"

Zhang Taixuan: "Calm down. We're righteous people."

Yue Buqun: "Exactly—we're righteous people!"

Ye Hei: "Xiong Ba really can't shake his old habits… 【facepalming】"

Xiong Ba: "Sorry, sorry—old thoughts came rushing back."

Zhang Taixuan: "Forget it. This isn't a big deal. If you want immortality, you can cultivate or buy longevity pills from the Shangcheng. No need to do something like this. Just know: joining this chat group, immortality is the bare minimum."

Chitanda Eru: "Immortality is the bare minimum? Can I have it too?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course. Look at Xia Zhiqiu and the others—how long have they been in? They're all Land Immortals now, with six hundred years of life."

In the live stream, Ye Hei picked up the Bodhi seed, then rushed into Lei Yinsi, grabbing one Buddhist lamp in each hand before stopping.

This act triggered a frenzy among the others, and chaos erupted instantly.

Ye Hei spotted Pang Bo and warned: "Take the plaque."

Pang Bo and Ye Hei shared an unspoken understanding. At once, he leapt up and seized the plaque of Lei Yinsi.

As the plaque fell, dust exploded in all directions, and chilling, dark energies emerged.

"Bad! Run quickly!"

Ye Hei did not dare to hesitate; he called out and sprinted toward the bronze ancient coffin.

What was sealed here was a being akin to a Great Sage.

Even though he did not know what realm a Great Sage occupied, he knew this was not something he could dare to provoke.

Even the supreme elites in the chat group dared not touch it—what was he, someone who had merely learned a martial art created by others? Did he dare?

Ye Hei might be cunning, but he was not foolish.

Pang Bo heard this and immediately followed behind Ye Hei.

The other classmates, seeing this, dared not linger.

This was Mars—who would dare to question it?

Wasn't that treating one's own life as worthless?

Shh-shh-shh!

Just as everyone fled, the Great Lei Yinsi collapsed outright, filling the sky with dust, while countless tiny black shadows shot toward them.

Ding-ding-ding!

As the shadows neared, they were halted by streaks of golden light.

Yet even with the golden light blocking the shadows, these modern-living people still felt a tremendous force strike them, staggering their steps; several female classmates fell outright, their Buddhist artifacts dropping to the ground.

The next instant, the shadows attacked again.

The few of them, gripped by terror, shut their eyes and screamed.

Ye Hei, seeing this, frowned, and his body instantly transformed into a golden divine dragon, dashing forward.

With both hands holding the clear lamp, he struck repeatedly—pam-pam-pam—and shattered the incoming shadows into piles of black sludge.

Only then did everyone see that the shadows were tiny, hideous black crocodiles.

"Don't stand around—run!"

Ye Hei called out again; the female classmates hastily picked up their Buddhist artifacts and fled for their lives.

"Ye Hei, you just turned into a dragon, right?" Pang Bo stared in shock. "When did you get this ability?"

Sensing a powerful force stirring beneath the Great Lei Yinsi, Ye Hei's expression changed drastically; he tossed one Buddhist lamp into the chat group's store, grabbed Pang Bo, and in just a few leaps landed inside the bronze ancient coffin.

Entering the coffin, the light dimmed instantly, yet Ye Hei felt a deep sense of calm.

Thud-thud-thud!

Seeing Ye Hei flee, the others followed suit, one by one leaping into the coffin and tumbling over each other.

"Ye Hei, you can transform into a dragon?"

The classmates were stunned. "What kind of ability is this?"

Ye Hei steadied himself and did not mention the chat group; instead, he said: "Under these circumstances, I won't hide it from you anymore—in truth, I am a hidden ancient martial arts master in the modern city."
