Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

At the same time, the person's identity was revealed amidst the gasps of the onlookers.

"The King! The King has arrived!"

"Damn, she really is a stunning beauty... Pfft, she's quite a formidable person, just look at her aura..."

"One of the teachers at the Three-Day Academy. I've heard that every teacher at the Three-Day Academy is at least at the Transcendent God stage!"

"Three-day academy?"

Yunping pouted, looked the woman in front of him up and down, left and right, and finally came to a conclusion.

do not know.

I guess they're teachers they just took on in the last few years, but judging from their demeanor, they seem to fit the arrogant and domineering vibe of those guys at Three Days Academy.

only……

Yunping no longer adopted his usual roguish, grinning manner, but instead, unusually, straightened his posture.

More precisely, hostility arose.

Of course, this hostility was interpreted as wariness towards her by the noblewoman. She chuckled lightly, as if mocking Yun Ping's frail strength.

"I took the Profound Yin Spiritual Root; Tianbei Valley was just doing things for me."

16. The so-called cultivation of immortality

"So you asked Tianbei Valley to dig out the Profound Yin Spiritual Root for you?"

"exactly."

"Even if it would kill an innocent cultivator, you still sent people from Tianbei Valley to do it."

"Yes."

Yunping's eyes were like a pool of dark, stagnant water, his merciless gaze shifting away from the tall, glamorous woman.

Finally, the image settled on Elder Tianbei Valley, who was covered in wounds and looked utterly disheveled.

"Your Tianbei Valley is really obedient. You do whatever she says. Has Tianbei Valley become an appendage of the Three Heavens Academy?"

"My visit to the Three-Day Academy was merely to establish friendly relations. As for the matter of the Profound Yin Spiritual Root, Tianbei Valley truly knows nothing about it..."

Although the old man was standing next to the woman, he repeatedly denied that he had harmed Ye Yuchan, seemingly for the sake of Tianbei Valley's reputation.

However, the prince from the Three Heavens Academy couldn't help but sneer.

"Alright, Elder Zhang, there's no need to hide this matter anymore. The fact that your Tianbei Valley and my Three Heavens Academy have formed a friendly relationship can be announced to the whole city soon. As for that female disciple surnamed Ye..."

"Heh, it's just one life. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Even a million deaths and injuries are nothing to worry about. Why make such a fuss over a mere female disciple?"

"It's just a human life?"

With a wave of his hand, Yun Ping caused the spatial rifts around him to disappear instantly.

At this moment, he was not surrounded by violent spiritual energy, nor was he holding that strange firearm, nor was he angry or laughing.

He just stood there quietly, letting the cold wind howl, his clothes didn't move, his hair didn't move, and his expression didn't move.

His pure black eyes stared at the woman, making her feel a little uneasy.

In an instant, fear filled the woman's heart. She was momentarily stunned, but quickly came to her senses.

—Did she just feel afraid of this kid?

No, it's impossible.

She could wipe out countless juniors who weren't even at the Xuanmen stage with a single finger. How could she possibly feel fear towards him?

It must be because I've been plagued by inner demons lately, making my cultivation unstable.

Wang Hou shook his head, reverting to his usual arrogant and unruly demeanor.

"Human life, isn't it the most worthless thing to us cultivators?"

"Cultivating immortality is about transcending the ordinary, about attaining sainthood, about breaking through the human path, and about seeking immortality."

"Admittedly, I did indeed steal the spiritual root of that disciple surnamed Ye, but so what? Have any of you here ever killed someone to steal treasure? Have you ever felt that someone else's talent was unfair?"

"Heaven rewards diligence, but what we cultivators must cultivate is to defy the heavens. If the heavens do not grant me talent, then I will seize it. In the end, no matter what means are used, only one person can reach the top."

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you possess a treasure but are still defeated, it's only because you're not skilled enough, or rather, you're not qualified to possess such a treasure."

"That's all there is to it, the matter of the Ye disciple having his spiritual root extracted."

……

silence.

Yunping and everyone else fell silent.

These words may seem unreasonable and sound brutal, but in reality, this is how most cultivators think. Killing and robbing are commonplace, and jealousy is something everyone has.

Although it is ugly and unfair, it is very real.

Therefore, no one in the audience dared to stand up, or rather, even if they had the courage, they couldn't refute it.

The people of Tianbei Valley fell silent. They all knew the decision of the elders of Tianbei Valley—to sacrifice Ye Yuchan in exchange for a friendly relationship with the Three Heavens Academy.

This deal, no matter how you look at it, is profitable.

……

On the stage, Yunping remained silent.

He stood there, watching the king and nobleman, who were full of vigor and seemed to have just delivered a great speech, without saying a word.

Nobody knows what he's thinking, nobody knows what he's doing.

He simply stood there, and slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arm skin.

"So, what about Ye Yuchan's spiritual root?"

Suddenly, he broke the silence.

"Hehe, I thought you would ask some kind of question, but I didn't expect this."

The woman smiled faintly and licked her lips.

"I ate it."

"That girl's Xuan Yin spiritual root helped my physique improve. Without her Xuan Yin spiritual root, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the Kaiyuan stage so quickly."

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank her. Although she's already ruined, I still want to thank her for appearing in front of me when I was facing a breakthrough."

"Another Kaiyuan stage teacher at the Three-Day Academy, hehehe, I think even if she dies, she has made a great contribution."

……

"Contribution... huh."

Yunping looked at her calmly, without anger or sorrow, simply watching her.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Me?" The woman seemed somewhat surprised, but still answered with a smile, "My name is Gong Xinchen. What, do you want to remember my name so you can take my life someday?"

"No, how could that be?"

Yunping waved his hand.

At this moment, his usually placid expression finally showed a slight change.

Those were slightly upturned corners of his mouth, representing a bloody carnival.

"I'm going to send you to hell right now."

Before he could finish speaking...

boom! !

The once arrogant queen was grabbed by the head by a hand, and she was forced to the ground by that irresistible force.

17. Iron Fist

All of this happened too suddenly.

It's like someone running up to you in a peaceful and healthy world and telling you that the world has ended.

No one, or rather, no one with a brain, would believe that, right?

But what if that person was carrying a meteorite?

—That sounds unlikely.

But that's the situation right now. The young man, who wasn't even at the Profound Gate stage, was pressing a Transformation God stage king, who was four major realms above him, to the ground as if he were carrying a meteorite.

A sharp pain shot through his head. Gong Xinchen had never suffered such humiliation before. His face contorted in rage, and an explosive surge of spiritual energy erupted forth, transforming into a mountain-like pressure that crashed down on the expressionless youth.

This is the spiritual energy of a Transcendent Realm cultivator. This dense and powerful spiritual energy alone can easily tear apart a Profound Realm cultivator. Crossing so many realms, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot for a Profound Realm cultivator to resist.

However, the pain did not subside.

"You just said it's survival of the fittest, right?"

The spiritual energy of the Transcendent Stage transformed into thousands of needles and blades, relentlessly bombarding Yun Ping's body.

Not to mention his skin, despite the raging wind and surging clouds, his snow-white robe never fluttered an inch. The powerful spiritual energy of the Transcendent Stage couldn't even shake the hem of his robe.

What... happened?

Gong Xinchen's mind went blank for a second; she couldn't comprehend what was happening before her.

Under that incredulous and horrified gaze, Yun Ping grabbed Gong Xinchen's head, slowly lifted it up, and then pressed it down heavily again.

--(roar)

It was a terrifying explosion, like thunder. The already shattered arena was completely destroyed by this blow, and countless fragments, along with a cloud of dust, shot into the sky, covering Yun Ping's graceful figure.

When the dust settled, Yunping remained in the same spot, pressing Gong Xinchen's head down into the ground with one hand.

Blood... crimson liquid flowed down from that slightly trembling head.
