87: System upgrade! Unlock the ultimate "Master-Apprentice Fusion" skill.

Taichu Holy Land is gone.

Even the ground was packed up and taken away.

This news, like a magnitude twelve earthquake, instantly set the entire Central State ablaze.

Everyone was stunned.

They had expected the Hidden God Sect to be strong, but they never imagined it would be so unreasonably powerful!

Slapping a Quasi-Emperor to death?

Moving a Holy Land with bare hands?

Was this even something a human could do? This was clearly a plot straight out of myths and legends!

"Quick! Run!"

"That Devil Head is looking this way! He's looking this way!"

"Back to the Sect! Return to the Sect immediately! Hide all the treasures!"

"No! We can't go back to the Sect! He'll carry the whole mountain away! Quick! Move out overnight!!"

For a time, the entire Central State was thrown into a state of chaos.

Countless Sects and aristocratic families that usually held themselves high were now like startled birds, packing their valuables and preparing to flee.

And as the instigator of all this.

Li Daoxuan was leisurely lying on a white cloud, looking as if nothing had happened, while checking the rewards the System had just tallied.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad."

Looking at the long list of glittering rewards on the System panel, he was almost drooling.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host! You have completed the hidden mission — [Forced Demolition of a Holy Land]!]

[Mission Rating: SSS+ (In a highly ornamental and extremely non-environmentally friendly manner, you have completely erased an immortal lineage and left an indelible psychological scar on the hearts of all living beings in the Central State.)]

[Calculating rewards...]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining:]

[1. System Experience Points +10 Million!]

[2. Sect Construction Progress +50%!]

[3. Random Immortal-Tier Low Grade Divine Ability: "Universe in the Sleeve"!]

[4. System Mall Points +5 Million!]

"Not bad!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up.

The one million experience points alone were enough to keep him excited for a long time.

Not to mention "Universe in the Sleeve"—it's an essential divine skill for travel, robbery, and disposing of bodies!

In the future, when moving mountains, there'd be no need for such a commotion; just a flick of the sleeve and it's all packed up. How convenient.

However.

Before he could finish celebrating.

"Ding!"

[Detected that System Experience Points are full!]

[The "Disciple Teaching Ten-Thousand-Fold Return System" is about to undergo a version update!]

[Update Progress: 10%... 30%... 70%... 100%!]

[System upgraded to version 3.0!]

[Loading new functional modules...]

Li Daoxuan was taken aback.

The System can even upgrade?

He saw the System panel before him flicker, and the interface became much cooler than before.

Then, several glittering golden characters popped up.

[New Function Unlocked — Revered Master-Disciple Bond: Body Integration Skill!]

A Body Integration Skill?

Li Daoxuan raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.

He clicked on the function description and began reading carefully.

[Function Name: Revered Master-Disciple Bond: Body Integration Skill]

[Function Description: Based on the deep (?) emotional bond between the Host and the Disciples, the following two modes are unlocked:]

[Mode One: [Master's Proxy]. When any Personal Disciple encounters an irresistible fatal danger in the outside world, this function can be actively triggered. Once activated, the Host can ignore any spatial distance or Law Restrictions to descend directly beside the Disciple with a Divine Thought Incarnation. The Incarnation possesses 50% of the Host's original strength and lasts for the duration of an incense stick. Cooldown: One month.]

[Mode Two: [Power Sharing]. When the Host needs to engage in battle, this function allows for the temporary "borrowing" of all Personal Disciples' power, Physique, and even Luck for amplification. The stronger the borrowed power, the longer the Disciples' subsequent period of weakness.]

After reading, Li Daoxuan gasped.

"Holy crap!"

"Isn't this f*cking invincible?!"

The first function, [Master's Proxy], was practically a tailor-made life-saving divine skill for his Disciples!

From now on, when they go out to mess around, it would be like carrying a "one-click call for a max-level boss" cheat!

Whoever dared to provoke them, they could just call for help; the Revered Master would descend from the heavens and slap them to death. How convenient.

And the second function, [Power Sharing], was even more Heaven-Defying!

Although Li Daoxuan was already at the Peak of the Great Emperor realm and seemingly didn't need it.

But don't forget what kind of prodigies his Disciples were!

Xiao Chen's Sword Dao Luck!

Shi Tian's Heavenly Tyrant Blood!

Leng Yanran's Empress Devil Soul!

Ye Fan's Archaic Sacred Body!

Su Mo's innate demonic fetus!

If all these things were added to a single person... how strong would that be?

Wouldn't a single punch be enough to break the Heavenly Dao's bones?!

"Awesome!"

Li Daoxuan slapped his thigh in excitement.

With this new function, he could be even more unscrupulous about... hiding behind the scenes in the future.

Let the Disciples charge ahead while he only needs to step out at the critical moment to show off and harvest a wave of admiration and System rewards. Simply perfect!

While Li Daoxuan was still daydreaming about his beautiful future life.

"Ding!"

On the System map, the radar representing "targets with great Luck" suddenly lit up without warning.

And this time, it was flashing an eerie... pink light.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Detected an A++ Grade special target with great Luck three thousand miles ahead!]

[The target's Physique is extremely rare, and they possess great Luck, but they are currently in grave danger and could perish at any moment!]

[Mission Issued: [Hero Rescuing the Beauty]!]

[Host, please proceed immediately to the coordinates to save the young girl about to fall into the abyss and take her as your Disciple!]

[Mission Reward: Extremely generous special items based on the target's special Physique!]

"Again?"

"And a 'hero rescuing the beauty'?"

Li Daoxuan's lips twitched.

He glanced at the flashing pink dot on the map and the location label next to it.

[Coordinates: Myriad Flower Valley, Hehuan Sect.]

Li Daoxuan: "..."

He was stunned for half a second.

Then.

A look that was extremely complex, extremely subtle, and extremely... thought-provoking appeared on his face.

"Hehuan Sect?"

"That Demonic Path Sect rumored to be famous for Dual Cultivation and harvesting, whose Disciples are all female vixens?"

"System, are you... giving me some fan service?"

"Or are you testing me, a dedicated official?"

Li Daoxuan cleared his throat, instantly wiping the lecherous look from his face and regaining the indifference of an enlightened Revered Master.

He turned around and spoke righteously to his Disciples, who were still cleaning up the battlefield:

"Ahem!"

"Disciples, stop picking up trash for a moment."

"Just now, while observing the celestial phenomena, I discovered a soaring Demonic Qi ahead. I fear an innocent young girl is suffering."

"As Cultivators, we must take it upon ourselves to slay demons and uphold justice!"

He had a look of compassion for all living things, as if he had become the light of the Righteous Path.

"To save those lost girls who are about to fall into the abyss..."

Li Daoxuan swept his sleeve, his voice powerful and resonant.

"Your Revered Master shall not shirk his responsibility!"
