Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Xiang Tianchen, the current head of the Law Enforcement Peak lineage, was sitting next to Daoist Li Huo. He turned his head to look at Daoist Li Huo and respectfully asked, "Master, do you think Elder Yu has a good chance of winning this duel?"

"Since she chose our Enforcement Peak back then, no matter the outcome of this contest, we will be her strongest support. Do you understand?"

Li Huo Dao Ren spoke indifferently, but his attitude was firm.

"Don't worry, Master, I know what to do."

Xiang Tianchen nodded slightly.

Then, he glanced at the group of inner disciples below out of the corner of his eye.

The two leaders were Chu Mingjun, the senior disciple of the Law Enforcement Peak, and Nangong Liuli, a rising star in the alchemy lineage.

Among them, Chu Mingjun is the third prince of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty; Nangong Liuli comes from the Nangong family of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty and is the youngest daughter of the Nangong clan leader. The Nangong family is also a powerful clan, even stronger than Yu Xuezhao's ancestral family, the Yu family.

Yu Xuezhao is considered a representative figure among the aristocratic scions within the sect. She is respectfully addressed as Senior Sister by everyone, and almost half of the aristocratic scions with extraordinary backgrounds are her supporters.

In addition, many ordinary geniuses joined the support team out of respect for his character.

Xiang Tianchen's gaze lingered on Chu Mingjun for a few seconds—this was his disciple who had once pursued Yu Xuezhao. He had intended to match them up, but Yu Xuezhao was not interested, so he had to give up.

Young people can handle their own affairs.

Someone like Lin Fan, who forces marriage... Hmph, that's utter nonsense!

Xiang Tianchen was prepared to break ties with the Sword Clan.

……

Above the arena of life and death, directly to the east.

On the best viewing platform, Ji Xingjian, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, stood respectfully beside the main seat... He had been sitting in that main seat earlier, and being very curious about this battle of geniuses, he naturally wouldn't be absent.

As we sat there, a big shot came over...

He had to give way to the big boss and stand respectfully to the side, acting as a temporary tea-making servant.

As the head of a sect, he naturally cared about his reputation and had his own dignity.

Although his cultivation level was only at the Integration Realm, and although the position of sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was a rotating system with no rule that "the strongest person should serve as sect leader," the sect leader was still the sect leader. Even if a Tribulation Transcending Ancestor came, he could still communicate with him as an equal without having to be subservient.

And the one who could make him humble himself...

The white-bearded elder sitting in the main seat cast his gaze around the arena, looking at the excited young disciples. He then shook his head slightly and sighed, "Young people are just too impetuous."

"Haha... Ancestor, can you call yourself a young man if you're not spirited?" Ji Xingjian laughed and replied, "I didn't expect that you, Ancestor, would be interested in watching the young people's competition. Is there someone you have your eye on?"

Seated in the main seat is a Mahayana patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

There are only four patriarchs of the Heavenly Sword Sect who are still alive and have not yet ascended to immortality.

The four patriarchs are also the strongest backing of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

"I just finished my seclusion and had nothing to do, so I came to see what was going on."

The white-bearded old man's tone was not solemn; instead, it revealed a lively spirit that only young people possess.

He sighed softly, "Now that the Immortal Realm's secret realm has opened, Mahayana cultivators can no longer comprehend the laws of immortality. Those old monsters from other sects have probably all stopped their seclusion... Alas, these are turbulent times."

"Ancestor," Ji Xingjian said with concern, "this independent plan instructed by the Immortal Realm's High Immortals will likely cause a great deal of trouble. Now even the Immortal Realm's secret realms have been forced to open, indicating that all forces have already launched major operations. We..."

"This is not something you should worry about," the white-bearded elder laughed. "It's not even our place to interfere. Rest assured, whether we succeed or fail, the current situation in the Spirit Realm will not change significantly in the short term."

He shook his head: "Let's watch the show first."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xingjian could only suppress his worries.

At this moment, the white-bearded old man suddenly turned his head to look at him and asked gossipily, "By the way, I heard that Lin Fan, who initiated this bet, is your daughter's sweetheart?"

"It's just a little admiration, not someone I'm in love with."

The patriarch is eavesdropping on the other disciples' discussions again; he's still got a childlike heart... Ji Xingjian continued, "Although Lin Fan possesses unparalleled talent, he's greedy, lustful, and cunning—not a good match. Even with a confidante, he's still trying to seduce female disciples of considerable status, and even has his eye on Elder Yu, which is why he initiated this bet..."

Ji Xingjian shook his head: "No matter how talented he is, his personal morality is beyond my comprehension. Of course, as the sect leader, I will maintain a neutral stance and will absolutely not favor either side. Please rest assured, Ancestor."

“I’ve seen all the little tricks Lin Fan’s supporters are up to, but since it involves a Transcending Tribulation Ancestor, I can’t step in to stop them.”

"I originally planned to ask Ancestor Qingfeng to step in and control the situation after this betting match, but I didn't expect that Ancestor Youchen... would come to watch this show."

"In that case... would the Ancestor be willing to step in later?"

Upon hearing this, before the white-bearded old man could react, Ji Ru, standing behind Ji Xingjian, was the first to reveal a defiant look in her eyes.

Yes, she is the daughter of the sect leader who admires Lin Fan.

“Qingfeng…both he and you are too upright.” The white-bearded old man shook his head and said, “You just said that it’s normal for young people to be hot-blooded. I think it’s also quite normal for young people to be a little lustful.”

“Ancestor, this matter is not just about young people being lustful,” Ji Xingjian said. “It’s that Lin Fan who is too lacking in manners and etiquette. He acts recklessly because he has a powerful background. This kind of behavior cannot be allowed to continue.”

"Alright, alright, I understand." The white-bearded elder waved his hand. "It's normal for prodigies to have a temper. I think both of these young men in the duel have tempers, and both are my top prodigies, so they're quite suitable to be brought together. However... this bullying attitude really can't be ignored. I'll handle it..."

Before he could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Ji Xingjian and the others also realized what was happening.

In the best stands here, a young man suddenly appeared... at some point.

Two young girls were floating beside the young man.

At this moment, the young man's indifferent gaze fell on the white-bearded old man, and he coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost."

"..."

The white-bearded old man was silent for a second or two, then suddenly stood up.

Ji Xingjian and the others also snapped out of their daze.

Although I don't know what's going on with this suddenly appearing young man, well... this guy's doomed!

How dare someone with only the Void Returning cultivation level be so presumptuous!

They actually dared to offend the ancestor... This is pure suicide!

Under the watchful eyes of Ji Xingjian and the others, the white-bearded old man, who had suddenly stood up, rolled to the side with a face full of... fawning.

The young man sat down in the main seat, crossed his legs, and leisurely cast his gaze toward the life-or-death arena.

"..."

Ji Xingjian and the others were nearly petrified on the spot!

Ah... what did they see?

Ancestor, what are you doing, Ancestor!

On the other side, the girl floating to the right of the young man frowned and glanced at the white-bearded old man, scolding, "What are you standing there like an idiot for? You old fool with no sense of propriety at all! Didn't you see that the master has already sat down? Make some tea!"

"..."

The white-bearded old man had by now recovered from the overwhelming sense of impending death.

I survived!

It seems the other party doesn't intend to kill him?

It seemed she was just unhappy with what he said, so she gave him a warning look.

A single glance from him made this Mahayana cultivator feel an inescapable, seemingly predetermined, death crisis... What a terrifying existence!

The white-bearded old man obediently walked to the side and handed the tea that Ji Xingjian had just brewed to the young man—that is, to Fan Xiao.

Only after calming down a bit did he have the energy to examine the young man sitting in the main seat.

He was in his early twenties, handsome, and possessed astonishing strength. He was accompanied by two young girls. The one on the right was arrogant and domineering, while the one on the left was expressionless, silent, and quietly holding a mirror... The white-bearded old man suddenly remembered a certain rumor, and his heart skipped a beat.

He respectfully offered the teacup, saying, "You...you...you are...!?"

Holy crap...!?

Who did he meet?

He witnessed a living legend!

Why did this important figure suddenly appear at Node C, and even come to their Heavenly Sword Sect...? There was no time to investigate the reason.

The white-bearded old man only knew that if he didn't serve the big boss well and made him unhappy... the big boss could wipe out the entire Heavenly Sword Sect with a wave of his hand!

This is a being comparable to an Immortal Emperor!!

"Father."

Behind them, Ji Ru grabbed Ji Xingjian's sleeve and asked, "Who is he...?"

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, before Ji Xingjian could say anything, the white-bearded old man in front roared angrily.

Instantly, everyone except Ji Xingjian was overwhelmed by the oppressive aura and knelt on the ground.

Ji Ru was the worst off. She was forced to kowtow loudly, her forehead was bruised and bleeding profusely, and she lay on the ground like a dog.

The white-bearded old man... Old Ancestor Youchen did it on purpose.

From the warning look in the big boss's eyes just now, he could easily tell that the big boss was very dissatisfied with what he had just said—he had said that he hoped to bring Yu Xuezhao and Lin Fan together.

It's not hard to guess that the big shot's visit to the Heavenly Sword Sect this time is likely related to Yu Xue Zhao... The big shot even came specifically to watch the gambling match, which suggests that he has a close relationship with Yu Xue Zhao.

As a seasoned gossip expert, he knew that Yu Xuezhao had always maintained a sense of mystery within the sect, but he never expected... you're a bit too mysterious!

You're hiding this relationship, what are you trying to do?!

Despite his inner turmoil, the patriarch dared not show it.

Given the relationship between the big boss and Yu Xuezhao, Lin Fan is doomed, with no chance of survival!

What genius, what unparalleled talent, what trump card, what mysterious backer... even if you are the son of an immortal emperor, it may not be of any use!

"What Lin Fan? He's trash! I must be getting old and blind, actually mistaking trash for a precious prodigy. Sigh, I need to wash my eyes."

The patriarch quickly adjusted his mindset and intensified his pressure on Ji Ru.

Why admire such a piece of trash? I think you're blind! You should be punished!

"Well……"

Ji Ru lay on the ground, writhing in pain, emitting pitiful whimpers.

Ji Xingjian glanced at it, then looked away, pretending not to have seen it.

The old ancestor saw through the trick early on; although he was a bit slow-witted, he was still a bit slow to realize it.

The ancestor's actions, which seem to be humiliating his daughter, are actually... a way of saving her.

By merely suppressing the situation without actually killing the child, the danger to his daughter's life was averted.

Otherwise, it might displease the young man in the main seat...

As for why the patriarch didn't attack him and force him to kneel down... it seems the young man in the main seat was quite satisfied with what he just said.

"One should always be honest and reasonable. Otherwise, if you do something wrong and fall into the hands of a very reasonable big shot, that big shot won't reason with you..."

Ji Xingjian thought to himself with deep emotion.

Next... just watch the show, watch the show, and whatever you do, don't get involved!

……

The arena is located to the north.

Lin Fan, who was ready, bowed slightly and cupped his hands toward the location of the Sword Clan Master and others, saying, "Thank you, Master and all the seniors, for coming to support me."

At this moment, the injuries on his limbs had been perfectly healed, and his cultivation had greatly improved, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In just three months, his cultivation level advanced from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This speed cannot be described as fast.

Lin Fan knew his own family best.

In order to quickly improve his cultivation level, he suffered a great deal of damage, not only wasting a lot of precious resources but also consuming a lot of his lifespan... Yes, he could exchange his life for cultivation level.

This was a cheat code that he suddenly awakened one day six months ago—the strongest life-saving system.

A cheat system that is independent of the evolution game system.

By spending his life, he could not only directly increase his cultivation level, but also obtain various rare and precious materials and the memories and experiences of powerful immortals—his "array formation talent" was disguised by the memories and experiences of powerful array formation masters.

His ability to have a series of extraordinary encounters and to meet confidantes of high status was also achieved through the memories and experiences of many powerful individuals.

This system even allows you to exchange for items and potions unique to evolution games.
