Quiet Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

In early September this year, Jinling Prefecture was extraordinarily hot; pedestrians on the road were all wearing short sleeves.


Upon returning to the team villa from the North, Lin Ning hurriedly went to her room to change into a sports tank top and shorts—even though cultivators are impervious to the cold and the heat and don't sweat, some life habits aren't necessary to forcibly change.


Yan Yu, on the other hand, went to the school's training base to review Zhao Yuanzhen's and Xie Ruoxi's training progress.


Both of their new magic treasures were designed for broad-range attacks, which couldn't be fully utilized in the villa's underground training field, so they had to move to the school's larger training ground.


Zhao Yuanzhen's Red Lotus Bowl hovered overhead, before condensing a substantial amount of Karmic Fire Red Lotuses, roaring as they flew towards Xie Ruoxi.
