Chen Changan stood on his peak, gazing in the distance, per usual.

 

The vast and wide Absolute Domain of today was in part, due to the Immortal Stones he exchanged for points, along with killing Immortal Lord Shen Wu.

 

The greatest contribution, however, was from the mass of cultivators advancing every minute on the hour.

 

Each progress netted Chen Changan Domain Points, which in turn fuelled Absolute Domain’s expansion. It was all due to the number of cultivators training in the Absolute Domain.

 

As cultivators advanced every day, the Absolute Domain expanded, covering many more cultivators striving to advance. The cycle fed on itself, offering Chen Changan a constant revenue of Domain Points.

 

Ling Bao’er’s power exploded with the bestowal of Chaos Sword Body, as did her cultivation. Her mighty constitution was so insane, she no longer needed Immortal Pill soup like Foxy. Ling Bao’er could swallow them whole without a hitch.

 

It led to outrageous growth these days, taking Ling Bao’er three Layers further. Absorbing a third of Shen Wu’s body’s Immortal Pill also helped.

 

She was now in the 5th Layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.

 

All this time, the Immortal Land played its role as well, supplying her with endless Immortal Energy. But the true reason behind her growth was her godlike constitution, and this was just the start.

 

Her cultivation speed sped up the further she went.

 

Chen Changan stretched, “I wonder who’ll come to the disciple contest.”

 

He extended his hand, and the Nine Province Cauldron fell into it, filled with the power of Dao.

 

Wielding this trinket gave one immense power by accessing its Dao power, though Chen Changan found it negligible.

 

[What Dao? No one has the final say in the Absolute Domain but yours truly!]

 

Chen Changan sensed many geniuses entering the Absolute Domain. It was a shame there was a gulf between the continent’s geniuses and the Upper Realm’s geniuses.

 

The former ranged from the Foundation Establishment to the very few reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

 

As for the latter, they were here to vie for the Nine Province Cauldron, with the Spirit Severing Stage as the bare minimum. It was also a requirement to awaken the Immortal Mark.

 

Chen Changan shook his head. The Realm and Upper Realm were literally worlds apart in everything.

 

Of course, the Nine Province Cauldron would shun its land’s geniuses.

 

No other Dao Protectors or Upper Realm geniuses appeared since Mei Niang left.

 

“Are they hiding?”

 

He was quite hopeful that more Dao Protectors would show up. The best kind were the troublesome ones, trying to snatch the Nine Province Cauldron. That gave him an excuse to kill ’em and score millions of Domain Points.

 

With a little luck, he’d get a few Deadbeat Chests to drop too.

 

Tasting its sweetness and obtaining the Chaos Sword Body, Chen Changan hoped he’d get more constitutions.

 

Foxy needed one since he only made her aware with Creation. She might have high talent, but her future was limited without a constitution.

 

“Gotta tone it down on awesomeness if I want the hiding Dao Protectors to stir trouble with me.” Chen Changan muttered.

 

He found his ever-growing name an annoyance as of late.

 

Chen Changan enjoyed the life of a deadbeat on Soaring Immortal Mountain for the following days.

 

Ling Bao’er’s cultivation jumped all over the place, reaching the Peak Nascent Soul, while Foxy’s hard work resulted in reaching Peak Foundation Establishment Stage.

 

Mei Niang had yet to return from the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain. [Wonder what the Huangfu Clan will think of the deal?]

 

The Immortals’ storage rings he got had plenty of Immortal Herbs, so he planted them, and with a dash of Creation, they grew healthy and strong.

 

Beneath Fig, the golden meatball grew, sporting more cracks on its surface. The Life Force within also got stronger and something was about to emerge.

 

Ling Bao’er and Foxy were curious to see what would come out.

 

Only two weeks remained until the disciple contest.

 

The Absolute Domain had close to a hundred thousand geniuses within its perimeter, with varying talents, cultivation, and backgrounds.

 

This wasn’t limited to humans in any way, with creatures of all shapes, sizes, and natures coming to become his disciple.

 

They had all heard of Chen Changan, but most of them never caught a glimpse of him.

 

He was too lofty and important, with only a few who saw him, either at the Continent Assembly or when he dealt with that Ghost Immortal.

 

To the great majority, Chen Changan was a mystery.

 

Some said he was young, dashing, and magnificent; others said he was old and kind.

 

But most rumors painted him as a violent and fiercely musclebound man.

 

In short, he was all the rage.

 

The many geniuses entering Myriad Mountains, and Absolute Domain by extension, were really aiming for Soaring Immortal Mountain.

 

Chen Changan allowed them to cultivate within the Absolute Domain, but not on Soaring Immortal Mountain.

 

[Senior is too grand for just anyone to meet him.]

 

They were humbled enough with the privilege to train on Senior’s land.

 

All the people were eager for the start of the disciple contest.
