Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 331 is quite imaginative.
On the surface, it seems like he's mocking Qin Shuangjiang, but he's actually secretly betraying his teammate so that Qin Shuangjiang will have less energy to beat him up! You're so despicable!
Seeing this, Xiao Jiang stopped pretending and, imitating Yan Qiuxi, sneered, "Heh, Qin, we knew you, this thieving cat, wouldn't be able to hold back. We didn't expect you to find out so quickly!"

"That's right, I took the first blood, what can you do about it!"

Yan Qiuxi: "..."

The two women's revelations about each other became increasingly outrageous, eventually even turning into pure fabrications. They vividly described each other's moves and Duan Huaige's reactions. Qin Shuangjiang listened with growing exasperation, and finally simply stopped and watched the two women bickering.

If I could trust either of you, I'd basically be saying goodbye to the concept of intelligence. Leaving aside Yan Qiuxi, what about Jiang Xiyu, that turtle? Would she even have the courage to be so proactive?

Xiao Chu Nu, she has quite the imagination when it comes to knocking on doors.jpg
……

Duan Huaige knew very well that after Yan Qiuxi and Jiang Xiyu were severely beaten, they would most likely figure out what had happened and realize that he had betrayed them. So, he cleverly chose to return to the Demon-Subduing Hall of the Old Celestial Master on Longhu Mountain and find a quiet room to hide from the disaster.

He is now, after all, the 52nd Celestial Master with a legitimate lineage, and his position on Longhu Mountain is in a rather awkward situation—if you don't acknowledge it, his lineage is still intact, and he even brought back the Five Thunder Commandery Seal.

But if we're talking about admitting it... then who's in charge of Longhu Mountain from now on? Is it the current Celestial Master, or the Supreme Celestial Master?
For a long time, the old guards of Longhu Mountain discussed Duan Huaige's identity but couldn't come up with a solution. They could only instruct their subordinates not to pay any attention to him for the time being, and to try to meet any reasonable requests he might have, so as not to offend Duan Huaige.

After all, if Duan Huaige were to take things too seriously, they would all be his disciples and grand-disciples! The crime of disobeying one's elders is a serious offense in Longhu Mountain.

He calmed himself down and took out his freshly baked reward—the Boundary Marker of the Changhai Sangtian Order and the Guixu Burial Site.

[The "Sea Changes and Land Transformation Order": Reflecting the passage of time and the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields, this order embodies a certain law of cyclical change and can be used to construct the complete time-based rules of the "Landscape Map."]

Duan Huaige was startled and quickly took the Canghai Sangtian Token in his hand to examine it closely. This thing could actually be used to construct the complete time rules of the Shanhe Tu? Was he a little closer to becoming the master of a realm who controlled life, death, reincarnation, and the passage of time?

He immediately summoned the Landscape Map and entered it. He first used his mind to refine the Changhai Sangtian Token for a moment, and then, with a thought, he tried to reverse time on an empty plot of land.

The grass and trees on the open ground were turning from withered to flourishing, and they actually began to turn upside down. This discovery made Duan Huaige extremely excited.

Reversing time—this is an incredibly powerful effect! If I could truly integrate it into the Landscape Painting, my combat power would become even more extraordinary! In the blink of an eye, I could turn my opponent from a vibrant young man into an old man, subjecting them to the five signs of decay... What's the point of letting them fight? They might as well just surrender!
However, integrating the complete rules of the Mountain and River Map is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Duan Huaige began to try to develop other uses of the Canghai Sangtian Token in the present world... He concentrated his spiritual power, made hand seals, and communicated with the Canghai Sangtian Token with his mind. The spiritual energy in his dantian was instantly emptied by more than half, causing a speck of dust in front of Duan Huaige to suddenly freeze in mid-air, and even move up a few inches!

It really works! Despite the constant feeling of spiritual energy depletion, Duan Huaige was still overjoyed. The Canghai Sangtian Token could temporarily reverse time!

When masters clash, a slight mistake can lead to a huge difference; that one moment is often the key to victory or defeat!
After putting away the Canghai Sangtian Token, Duan Huaige began to study the Guixu Burial Boundary Stele again. According to the description, it was actually a broken stele used to guard the two realms of Yin and Yang and the realm of reincarnation, implying the way of life and death.

As a product of constructing the complete rules of the Mountain and River Map, Duan Huaige had a vague feeling... why did the task rewards seem to be increasingly inclined to cultivate his Mountain and River Map into a complete world?
If Taiqing goes on a killing spree in the future, it would be a good option to drag all the big guys outside into my Mountain and River Map and start a new life.

Duan Huaige shook his head, telling himself not to let his imagination run wild, and took out the last two rewards:
"Illustrated Explanation of the Alchemy Method of Mountains and Rivers" and "Illustrated Explanation of the Alchemy Method of Several Autumns".

As the names suggest, both of these illustrated manuals contain materials needed for the process of refining the Dao Pill. Refining the Dao Pill means nurturing the Dao Pill from the established Dao Foundation. Different cultivation methods have different methods for nurturing the Dao Pill, and the illustrated manuals are the supernatural techniques that help cultivators refine and nurture the corresponding Dao Pill.

Just as there are specialized diagrams, there are also general diagrams. Generally speaking, every faction will have its own diagrams for refining the elixir. However, independent cultivators, lacking the means to obtain the corresponding specialized diagrams, can only choose the general method. Although this is convenient, it inevitably results in an imperfect elixir.

Now, Duan Huaige is faced with the question of which cultivation method he should use to transform the core, and whether he can use several cultivation methods at the same time.
For example, my Dao foundation is much more solid than others'. During the same Heavenly Thunder tempering process, I can refine several Dao Pills in a short time!

In recent days, Duan Huaige had been inquiring about information regarding the transformation of pills, including asking the Old Celestial Master a few questions indirectly. The answer he received was that it was almost impossible.

Normal people are already on the verge of death during the Heavenly Thunder tempering process, how could they possibly have time to temper a few more Dao Pills... let alone use other cultivation techniques!
To be able to cultivate one technique to the point of reaching the Core Formation stage is already a rare talent; to cultivate several at the same time? That's far too ambitious!
Moreover, the key point is that the Dao Dan will spontaneously compete within the Dantian, trying to monopolize the Dantian to receive nourishment. If any cultivation method is not of a high enough grade, it will be squeezed out and broken in no time, which is equivalent to trying to fill a basket with water in vain!

Duan Huaige wasn't worried about this, because all the cultivation techniques he possessed were top-tier... As for whether his appetite was big enough...

As the protagonist destined by fate, it's normal for me to be a little arrogant, right? Kuang Xiaoge thought to himself.

Since the goal is perfection, there is no room for compromise! Duan Huaige made up his mind to cultivate the Red Lotus Body Forging Technique, the Azure Lotus Soul Tempering Technique, and the Spring and Autumn Sword Intent to the point where they could transform into cores. Once he achieved the Core Transformation Realm, he believed that even the Taiqing Sect could fight against him!
