I was hiding in the village and became the Grandmaster of all things!

The dim morning light caresses the quiet Linjiang Village, quietly ushering in a new day.

At the entrance of the village, the children's clear laughter is like wind chimes in the morning light, melodious and cheerful, heralding the beginning of a vibrant life.

In the small park, a group of energetic villagers have gathered in the morning light. They are running and jumping, immersed in the joy of morning exercise.

Due to the lack of sports facilities in the village, even the toy area where children usually play has become a paradise for villagers to enjoy.

They were either climbing or swinging, with simple and unpretentious smiles on their faces, without the slightest shyness or restraint.

On top of one of the facilities, Ji Ye was exercising.

The old man had been exercising all night. He was in good shape and didn't look tired at all, as if exercising all night was just an ordinary daily routine for him.

Looking at his face, which seemed to be covered with a thin blush in the morning light, one could tell how much his cultivation had advanced after this sleepless night.

The old look of the past seemed to have been quietly wiped away by the practice that night. Even the half-gray hair was miraculously dyed a few shades of dark black, giving him a new lease of life.

At this moment, Ji Ye was undoubtedly very happy.

He simply set up a simple but warm tent in a corner of the small park, and even built a small stove, with an attitude of "king of the mountain".

Above the stove, wisps of white smoke rise slowly, interweaving with the morning light to form a tranquil picture.

Anyone with a sharp eye could tell that the two pots were "antiques" from the old uncle's house that had not been used for a long time. Now they had become small props for Ji Ye to enjoy his life after his practice.

After all, other villagers brought food to the old uncle every day, so the blame fell on Ji Ye.

The arrival of the Chicken Lord was not initially met with kindness by the villagers. At dawn, as they stepped out of their homes in the dew, they were surprised to see this uninvited guest, and they couldn't help but feel a bit like driving him away.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old uncle appeared in time to rescue Ji Ye and allow this sudden episode to end harmoniously.

With the arrival of Lord Chicken, the figures of Old Chicken Head and Old Uncle would often appear under the pavilion in the park.

As the morning light began to shine, a figure quietly emerged on the ancient official road of Linjiang Village, like a faint shadow in the morning light.

She was a woman with a light veil covering her face, her flawless white dress fluttering in the wind, and she was surrounded by a pure and clean aura that was not tainted by dust.

Her eyes were clear and distant. Through the veil, she gazed quietly at the quiet Linjiang Village in front of her, as if she could see through the secrets of all things in the world.

She slowly raised her right hand, and on the palm of her hand, tiny points of light gathered quietly like morning mist, flashing a hazy and mysterious light.

The woman lowered her head, her eyes gently brushing over the spots of light, a faint curve at the corner of her mouth, as if confirming something.

"Sure enough, there are traces of her here..."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring, without a trace of impurities, gently echoing in the quiet morning air.

After saying this, she took light steps and walked slowly along the winding official road into the depths of Linjiang Village. Every step seemed to be telling an unknown story, and she quietly integrated this coldness and search into this ancient and tranquil land.

But in a moment, the woman's graceful figure was quietly standing at the entrance of Linjiang Village, like a breeze blowing across a quiet pastoral landscape.

At the entrance of the village, the morning light shines gently, adding a touch of tranquility and peace to this quaint place.

At this moment, the school is filled with the sound of reading, and the students are immersed in the ocean of knowledge; and the young and middle-aged men and women in the village are also busy, either farming or weaving, and their lives are in order.

Only in the small park, a few elderly people, such as old uncles, are still leisurely enjoying their morning leisure time.

The woman's sudden appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

At this moment, the old uncle and Ji Ye couldn't help but put down the black and white chess pieces in their hands, slowly stood up, with a serious look in their eyes, and looked at the mysterious woman together.

Not only the old uncle and Grandpa Ji, but also other elderly people and children who were exercising or playing around, stopped what they were doing involuntarily, and their eyes were all focused on her, as if the air in the entire small park was frozen.

The mysterious woman seemed to be able to see through all the subtleties in the world, and she immediately caught the inquiring gazes from the old uncle and his group.

Her eyes, as cold as a pond, turned slightly and fell on the old uncle and the chicken man who was traveling with him, with a barely perceptible scrutiny.

"Huh..."

There seemed to be a subtle fluctuation in the air. The old uncle and Ji Ye moved forward slowly with an almost silent pace, as if time had slowed down for them at this moment.

But in a flash, they were standing not far from the woman, close enough to feel the subtle changes in each other's breathing.

The old uncle held a cane carved with traces of time. His eyes, which had seen so much vicissitudes of life, stared directly at the mysterious woman without hesitation, his tone filled with a bit of vigilance and curiosity:

"Excuse me young lady, who are you? Why did you set foot in our remote village?"

As he spoke, the old uncle's voice was steady and powerful. Every word seemed to rise slowly from the bottom of his heart and then fall steadily to the ground, revealing his deep affection for this land and his cautious attitude towards outsiders.

"Where is she..."

The mysterious woman ignored the old uncle's question, but murmured softly to herself. Her voice seemed to come from the underworld, with a hint of chill.

This sudden question stunned everyone present, especially the old uncle and the people around him, who were full of suspicion.

The mysterious woman raised her head slightly, scanning the crowd with a sharp gaze, and spoke again, "Where is the woman who looks exactly like me?"

This sentence exploded in the crowd like thunder. People looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

As soon as she finished speaking, the mysterious woman slowly stretched out her hand and gently pinched a corner of the veil on her face. Her movements were graceful and slow, as if she was uncovering a long-buried secret.

As the veil was lifted little by little, the air around seemed to freeze.

"hiss……"

When the last bit of the veil fell, revealing the face, there was a sudden gasp from the crowd.

"You are Yuchang!"

Some people couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Here comes another one..."

The other man's voice was filled with disbelief.

"How come there are so many women who look like Yuchang..."

Various exclamations and questions arose one after another, and the whole scene fell into chaos.

At this moment, the other villagers who had just arrived behind the old uncle and his partner were also stunned by what they saw.

They stared at the mysterious woman with their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, but they couldn't utter a complete sentence. After a long while, they came to their senses as if waking from a dream and began to whisper to each other.

Listening to the whispers and low discussions of the people around her, the mysterious woman's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, as if a cold light flashed.

However, what is surprising is that although there may be waves in her heart, her beautiful face still maintains an unchanged expression, like the calm surface of a lake, making it difficult to glimpse her true emotional fluctuations.

However, if one looked closely, one could see a hint of joy quietly surging in the depths of her eyes. It turned out that these people's discussions had given her a piece of news that made her secretly happy - there were actually many women here who looked exactly like her!

This means that in addition to herself, there are several clones who are exactly the same as her who have appeared in this place before.

Thinking of this, the mysterious woman couldn't help but feel curious and expectant: Who are they? And why did they appear here?

If she really has the ability to absorb and integrate all these clones, it will have an extremely astonishing impact.

First of all, her own cultivation will definitely be greatly improved, and the bottleneck that was originally difficult to break through may be easily solved.

As her cultivation improves, the powers and skills she possesses will become stronger and more diverse, giving her more means of coping and a better chance of winning when facing various powerful enemies.

More importantly, when she successfully absorbs all clones, she is no longer bound by the main body's restrictions on her freedom.

From then on, she could freely decide her own direction of action, cultivation path, and lifestyle, and truly achieve her goal of controlling her own destiny.
