That day, while Ji Wuyan was cultivating, a sudden unease stirred in his heart. He abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of doubt appearing on his face.
The land was still a vast expanse of towering, unbroken mountains. Seen from the sky, they resembled a celestial wolf, and so the range had been named the Celestial Wolf Mountains.
The voice rang out like a great bell, deafening and thunderous. The soldiers atop the city walls were instantly overwhelmed by roaring in their ears. Many simply threw down their weapons and clutched their ears, their faces contorted in pain. Several of the weaker ones even died on the spot.
Mafa had been wounded by Su Lingyan’s sword. Having already suffered a severe loss of strength after losing one of his blades, his power had now been diminished even further.
The black-robed expert’s body burst into flames. He struggled violently and roared without cease, but under the suppression of the Scripture of Deliverance, he could no longer defy Heaven.
“The wedding is off! Go marry whoever you like!” Yimeng threw down the words frostily before vanishing from the Star Observatory.
“Reporting to my lord, there is nothing important. They are merely the usual trivial matters.” Liao Hua pondered for a moment before answering.
As for treasures, Jiang Yu possessed countless rare materials and heavenly treasures. Yet those things might not necessarily be enough to attract the prodigies returning from the Ancient City of Taibei.
But Phantom remained unmoved. He had been the same abroad as he was at home. Then, all at once, he thought of that fellow. If he encountered such a scene of infatuated admirers, he would surely be delighted enough to drool.
Held in Medusa’s arms, Xiao Feng breathed in the alluring fragrance of the enchantress’s body and could not help feeling a restless impulse stirring within him.
“Haha, there’s no need to thank me. We are all disciples of the same cavern sect. Is it not only right that we help one another?” Nameless laughed heartily. An aura as wild as that of the barbarians radiated from him, making him appear no different from an ordinary barbarian.
People were sometimes like that: gloomy one moment and cheerful the next. In different states of mind, they naturally viewed different matters in different ways. When sorrowful, all things seemed black, and worries knotted endlessly in the heart. When happy, one’s thoughts became positive, and nothing seemed impossible. This was a trait unique to humans, those emotional creatures.

The enormous stone club in his hand came crashing down upon Nameless, while the surging power within his body boiled over.
What they did not know, however, was that Nameless had never intended to continue forever. Once he had obtained ten billion Spirit Origin Pills, together with what he had originally possessed and what he had earned during this period, he already had sixty billion Spirit Origin Pills in his hands. If word of that amount spread, countless Great Saints would surely go mad.
Nadia: “The floods were especially severe this year. My father was worried at home, so he went to help reinforce the embankment.”
When the security guards at the entrance saw the tycoon arrive, they were all stunned. In their impression, Ma He had visited the casino at night only a handful of times. In the past six months, he had come just once—and that had been when several dozen university professors had supposedly banded together to raid the casino. He had stepped in and settled the matter.
Actually, I could have done this once I reached the Communion Realm. But I could not control the direction of the silver needles, much less guide them with precision, and often ended up injuring people. I would never use form-to-needle transformation lightly. Now that I have reached the Immortal Communion Realm, however, I can control them completely.
Dressed in black and holding a military saber, he pressed the blade against the neck of the person pinned to the ground, one foot planted on the man’s back.
“Well…” Naturally, I did not want them to leave. They had helped me so much, after all. But for a moment, I truly could not think of a reason to persuade them to stay. Still, thinking was often the best solution.
At that thought, a trace of madness flashed through his eyes. Having reached his present state, and with the Five Declines of Heaven and Man already upon him, he had long since abandoned all restraint.
Though the visiting monk’s words were somewhat of a cure-all, they nevertheless offered Xu Qingya considerable comfort. After hearing the interpretation of the fortune stick, she still bowed respectfully and expressed her thanks.
Lin Chen did not understand. He could not comprehend why the principles of “misfortune should not befall one’s family” and “one person takes responsibility for his own deeds”—rules even certain shadowy circles observed—could be trampled upon by so-called righteous people. They were preparing to send an ignorant middle-aged couple to the gallows without the slightest mercy.
Lin Wei’s sudden move had been entirely unexpected. Perhaps he had realized that Lin Tang and the others would never actually attack him, which had emboldened him. Threatening them with Lin Wei’s life was probably no longer effective.
Once everyone began to imitate him, Li Xiao had already planned his next step: producing dried noodles and processing the dough into individually packaged products aimed at the mid- to high-end market. After all, this era had no dried noodles yet. Noodles were not called soup cakes; people kneaded the dough fresh, rolled it out, and cut it into strips on the spot.

Clearly, crossing the mountain range posed little difficulty for a powerhouse like Xu Haibao. Indeed, so long as Xu Haibao did not wish to reveal his whereabouts, neither the local authorities nor the special affairs personnel would be able to detect his trail.
The main reason livestreaming became popular was that it allowed real-time interaction with viewers, giving them a sense of participation. Without that element, a livestream would differ little from an ordinary video.
As a rare practitioner of qi cultivation, Xu Haibao understood very well that this era was not suitable for founding a sect. Leaving aside the transmission of cultivation methods, the mere scarcity of cultivation resources made it difficult to support a large number of practitioners in this world.
It was not that the production team did not want to put the celebrities through hardship; the celebrities simply refused to accept it. Every program hoped for soaring ratings and sought to lead the world of variety shows. To achieve that goal, they could make celebrities suffer—and, without the slightest regard for decency, do things even more outrageous.
Being able to preserve her life was already the limit. She had never imagined that she would actually rise to such a high position. It seemed that the great nobles wanted her dead.
The injured man with the broken leg was in fairly stable condition, but the unconscious one was not doing so well. The preliminary examination suggested a possible concussion, though further tests were needed to determine the exact nature of his condition.
After hearing Lu Yun’s explanation, Su Xinyuan could not help sighing repeatedly. No wonder the Yangyan Clan and their opponent had become lifelong, inextricable enemies. Even the internal arts and martial techniques they cultivated were diametrically opposed. It would truly have been strange if they had not fought each other for an entire lifetime.
An eclipse and a sudden black spot appearing on the moon would have had entirely different effects on an ancient society.
“What Huang Yan observed was naturally very meticulous, and his metaphor was remarkably apt. Everyone should give this more thought. Only then can you resolve to cultivate with hardship and perseverance. I have heard a saying among the common people: earning money is ‘suffering for money.’ Cultivation itself is a kind of hardship, of course, so one must eat that bitterness—and eat it well,” McCarthy said approvingly.
