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

Assigning the Challenge Gate to Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian was like that bad student who hands off all the school assignments to the top-performing ones and starts chatting idly on the side.


"...so the 'rat' people talk about among the cultivators is just a murderous robber!" Tang Xiaolian exclaimed in shock.


"Robberies are pretty normal though," Yan Yu mentioned offhandedly.


"No no no no, robberies are totally abnormal!" Tang Xiaolian retorted, "Stories like a motorcycle rider dragging a pedestrian over a hundred meters when snatching a purse belong to an era of poor public security long gone!"


"That's why epochs are just a grand cycle," Yan Yu said. "Public security didn't just improve on its own, it's because every street and alley around you has been fitted with cameras. Are there any cameras in the Mysterious Realm? Here, if you commit crimes for wealth and kill, nobody knows, so of course, villains can act atrociously without any fear."
