Chapter 118: 134—A Great Upheaval!

After speaking, Qian Mo turned and walked toward the rear. Seeing the waiter, he asked, "Where is this place you call Han Feng City?"

The waiter, well aware of Qian Mo's terrifying nature, replied cautiously, "It is in the northwest of the Black-Corner Region. You are currently in the east of the region."

"Oh, the northwest, is it?" Qian Mo said, looking toward the northwest.

"May I ask, sir, are you one of Han Feng's people?" the waiter inquired.

"That Han Feng? He is merely a man who betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors. I am going to kill him," Qian Mo declared loudly.

What? Han Feng, the sixth-rank Pill Emperor, was actually a man who betrayed his master? When Qian Mo said this, everyone was shocked; they had just heard earth-shattering news.

A man and a woman sitting in the corner stood up and asked respectfully, "May we ask if what you said, young master, is true?"

"I don't bother lying to the likes of you," Qian Mo said with a faint sneer. He turned to Yun Yi and said, "My lady, let's go. Your husband will take you to watch some fireworks."

The "fireworks" naturally referred to human heads exploding, blooming as freely as fireworks.

"Come, follow me to collect Han Feng's head." With that, Qian Mo took Yun Yi and soared into the sky.

"Wow, what a couple."
"Wow, what a handsome man."
"Wow, what a beautiful woman."
"Wow, they are truly a pair."

These exclamations erupted in the inn after Qian Mo left; their voices were quite repulsive!

I want to punch them all into oblivion, I want to wipe out the entire Dou Qi Continent with a single slap, I want to... well, I haven't decided yet!

My talent, my opportunities—how could you lowly ants understand? You can only look up to me in awe! Haha!!

***

Elsewhere, Han Feng City.

Indeed, as long as the readers outside aren't fools, they know this is where Han Feng resides. This place is one of the notorious local snakes of the Black-Corner Region. However, I'm sorry to say, with Qian Mo's arrival, this local snake is about to be finished!

"Woo-la-la! Fantastic, this is a sixth-rank medicinal pill, a level-six pill! I, Han Feng, have finally refined the legendary level-six pill!" In the main hall of Han Feng City, a man dressed in a hideous green robe sat before the hall. This man was the famous—or infamous—"Medicine Emperor," known for betraying his master: Han Feng!!

Yes, he is the one on the Dou Qi Continent who, before the plot even began, killed his own master, the Venerable Medicine, Yao Chen!

You might ask, how could a master as formidable as the Venerable Medicine die at the hands of such a nobody? Isn't all of this the work of that "Potato" (author)? Isn't it just a matter of plot-induced stupidity?!

A renowned master dies just like that, and then conveniently appears in Xiao Yan's ring? Do you take the readers for fools? Even if they were fools, you shouldn't take me for one!!

How could such coincidences exist in the world? Even if they did? Well, that's none of my business!

Now, let me, Lord Qian, put on a perfect show. I will properly discipline this beast who betrayed his master, making him taste pain a hundred, or even ten thousand times worse than death.

A perfectly good teacher was harmed by this degenerate beast!

Everything boils down to the greed of this brat Han Feng. Greed is something everyone has, though I am not greedy myself—I just hope that every day I walk, I can pick up a few million coins.

Han Feng finished refining the level-six pill. Do you know the function of a level-six pill? Its effects are immense, truly immense! Whoever takes it becomes incredibly slippery!

It allows one to cross ranks and challenge a Dou Di!

"Han Feng, you betrayer of masters and ancestors, watch as I, Qian Mo, come to settle the score with you!" Qian Mo appeared in mid-air, pointing at Han Feng and berating him!

Han Feng clutched the level-six pill, looked up at Qian Mo, and said with a grin, "Oh? So you are Qian Mo! The man who possesses the System?! The character created by Lord Mirror?! You are a Dou Di!"

Qian Mo's heart skipped a beat; a sense of unease surfaced. He said fiercely, "Han Feng, is it? It seems I cannot leave you alive! A mere Dou Huang dares to point fingers at this Emperor? I think you’ve gotten arrogant!"

Behind him, Yun Yi asked, "Husband, what is that stinking man saying? Aside from 'Dou Di,' I don't understand any of it. What system? What Lord Mirror? Ah, your concubine doesn't understand!"

"Be good, you don't need to understand! Wait for me to finish off this pest, and then I'll come back to play with you. You go into my Samsara Realm first." With that, Qian Mo sent Yun Yi away.

"Han Feng, now it’s just the two of us." Qian Mo hovered high in the sky, riding a pitch-black horse.

"Haha!! Dou Qi transformed into a horse! This is actually Dou Qi transformed into a horse! Qian Mo, watch as I consume this level-six pill and finish you off!" Han Feng swallowed the pill. Suddenly, an incredibly powerful force surged within him. Han Feng shot up from a Nine-Star Dou Huang straight to the realm of Dou Di!

Instantly, storms raged across the continent, thunderclouds gathered, and massive tornadoes went on a rampage. Qian Mo watched the effects of the pill, a look of genuine terror in his eyes. He was solemn. Is this level-six pill really just a sixth-rank pill? Lord Mirror, are you trying to kill me?!

Mirror: "No, this is to temper you! Seize this opportunity! Qian Mo, didn't you say you were bored because no one could fight you? I am creating an opportunity so you won't be bored!"

Qian Mo: "It seems Lord Mirror understands me best. Is Lord Mirror perhaps the greatest writer in the world, Qian Mo of the Mirror?"

Mirror: "Indeed. Go on, don't be afraid. As long as I am backing you, how could you die? As long as you are under my pen, you are invincible! Immortal! The System is merely my avatar! Go!"

Qian Mo: "Yes, Lord Mirror!"

Han Feng flew into the sky and pointed at Qian Mo on his horse, shouting, "Qian Mo, a Dou Di! Do you dare dismount and fight?!" As Han Feng shouted, thunderclaps echoed across the Dou Qi Continent. The killing intent was suffocating. In Han Feng City and the Black-Corner Region, everyone was panicked. To challenge a Dou Di to dismount and fight—what immense courage!

The sky changed unpredictably, and members of countless clans across the continent were shaken.

Within the Soul Clan: "This is the aura of a Dou Di! Even I wouldn't dare challenge a Dou Di to dismount and fight. This person’s courage is truly commendable!"

Ancient Clan: "Two Dou Dis! Someone actually dares to challenge a Dou Di to dismount and fight?!! He has offended a Dou Di! This person is doomed."

Six Clans: "Look at this formation; they are about to have a massive battle! Can the Dou Qi Continent ever be peaceful again?"

In the sky, Qian Mo: "Ha! Ha! Ha!! Challenge me to dismount and fight!! Good!! I, Emperor Mo, shall dismount and fight you!! Han Feng, you unfilial son, prepare to die!" Qian Mo's Ling Qian sword appeared in his hand, its golden light blinding everyone!

What a dazzling sword! Everyone was filled with envy.

"Hmph! You have the Ling Qian Sword, and I have the Wind Demon Sword! Come forth, Wind Demon Sword!" Han Feng sneered. How could these ants understand the wealth of a Dou Di?

What? He actually has the Wind Demon Sword! And judging by its quality, it is no weaker than my Ling Qian Sword! Qian Mo was shocked once more.

"Hmph, seeing your shocked expression, I'll tell you: this was given to me by the Heavenly Dao! Prepare to be wiped out, you ant!" Han Feng said with disdain.

"Hmph, boastful words. Watch as I, Qian Mo, beat you into begging for mercy!" Qian Mo retorted.

"Ha! Take this, Wind Emperor Slash! Qian Mo, I’ll take your head!" Han Feng shouted, unleashing the ultimate technique of the ancient Dou Di, the Wind Heavenly Emperor. Instantly, countless sword auras formed terrifying blades that roared toward Qian Mo.

"Hmph, a mere level-one Dou Di dares to act so recklessly? I see you've never witnessed the terror of a peak Nine-Star Dou Di! Aha! Take this, Mirror Emperor Slash! This is your first punishment for speaking rudely to me! Second punishment, you frightened everyone! Mirror God Slash! Third punishment, your actions startled me, pay me damages! God-rank Dou Technique: Pay-Up Slash!"

*Roar!*

*Clash! Bang!*

Han Feng felt his heart sink as he was caught off guard by the massive power of the three slashes!

"Ahhh!!!"

(Page 2/3)

"Ahhh!!!"

Han Feng spat out a large mouthful of blood and crashed into the ground below. Dust filled the air.

"Hmph, too weak. Not enough to play with. Lord Mirror, can you provide someone stronger?" Qian Mo said, clearly dissatisfied.

Mirror: "As you wish!"

Just as Mirror’s words faded, a flash of light appeared where Han Feng lay. A voice said, "I now grant you power beyond that of a Dou Di. You are now at the Human Immortal level, stronger even than Qian Mo's peak Dou Di power. Go, finish off that little brat!"

Instantly, a barrier transported the two of them into another space. A voice echoed, "This is my space, the beginning of chaos. Fight here. Only one of you can leave; whoever dies, dies forever!"

As the two disappeared, the Dou Qi Continent returned to normal, and the memories of the people were erased; they knew nothing of what had just happened.

"Eh? What was I doing just now?"
"Weren't you just saying you wanted to buy clothes?"
"Oh, oh, let's go!"

Ancient Clan: "Hm? What was I doing? I don't know."
Soul Clan: "Hm? What just happened? Hurry up and cultivate so we can dominate the Dou Qi Continent! Haha!!"
Six Clans: "Hurry up, get to it! Cultivate!!!"

***

Inside the chaotic space, the sky was filled with brilliant golden light. Two figures stood there: Qian Mo in white, and Han Feng in his hideous green robe.

Qian Mo held the Ling Qian Sword, and Han Feng gripped the Wind Demon Sword!

Han Feng sneered, "Qian Mo, I am now at the Human Immortal realm, above the peak of Dou Di. You are merely a peak Dou Di; kneel before me!"

Qian Mo was stunned. Human Immortal realm? A realm even he hadn't known of. So, above Dou Di is the Human Immortal realm!

Qian Mo said with disdain, "You are merely at the Human Immortal realm, and we are at the beginning of chaos. What makes you so confident?"

Han Feng held his sword and pointed at Qian Mo, saying, "Because my realm is higher than yours, and I have a record of betraying my master and ancestors! Do you have one?!"

Qian Mo felt like spitting blood. He really couldn't compete with that! "I... I cannot answer that!"

Han Feng said coldly, "Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew you couldn't! Come, there are only two of us, and only one can survive. Go to hell!"

Qian Mo felt irritated. "Hmph! Why must it be me who dies, and not you?"

Han Feng leaped over, sneering, "Because I am a Human Immortal!"

"..." Alright, I have nothing to say. We are not from the same world; we speak different languages.

"Then let us fight!" Qian Mo said coldly!

Both raised their swords. *Clang! Clang! Clang!*

In the chaos, they clashed repeatedly. Sparks flew. Fortunately, they were not on the Dou Qi Continent, or it would have been reduced to ashes!

***

Both were covered in wounds. Their clothes were shredded, and blood and flesh were visible. Han Feng sneered, "How much longer will you struggle? You can't win against me!"

Qian Mo had blood at the corner of his mouth; so did Han Feng. "How is this possible? A peak Dou Di brat like you, how can you hurt me?! I am a Human Immortal! A Human Immortal! How can I be bleeding?!"

Qian Mo looked at him with contempt, his hair brushing against his face. A strange arc curled at the corner of his mouth. "You are a Human Immortal, but a very watery one! Very low quality. Do you know why you are a Human Immortal? It was my request; otherwise, you’d be too weak to be fun. To put it clearly, you are just my stepping stone!"

He gripped the Ling Qian sword and shouted, "Mystic Immortal Annihilation!" Instantly, countless violent thunderclouds in the chaos transformed into giant dragons of annihilation, shooting toward Han Feng!

Han Feng shook his head, refusing to believe it. "No, this isn't real! You're lying to me! I am an Immortal! Immortal!! Go to hell! Heavenly Demon Burns Immortal!" The out-of-control Han Feng unleashed his strongest strike against Qian Mo's technique. The power of an Immortal is unimaginable! But who is Qian Mo? Qian Mo is protected by Mirror! Instantly, the power of the Mystic Immortal Annihilation expanded tenfold.

Tenfold! The technique already had immense destructive power; with this increase, the result was predictable.

Han Feng’s eyes grew solemn, his face pale, as he felt the scent of death from the dragons. "No! I am an Immortal!"

Qian Mo let out a cold snort, his face calm, without a hint of tension. "Boring. I've had enough; I don't want to play anymore. You can die now! Immortal? I have Mirror protecting me, so what if you’re an Immortal! Die! Tenfold Mystic Immortal Annihilation!"

"No, no, no!! I, Immortal Han, how could I be destroyed by a lowly Dou Di? This is impossible! Ahhh!!" The tenfold attack slammed into Han Feng.

A thunderous boom echoed throughout the chaos!

*Boom!*

Han Feng! — Dead!

Watching Han Feng die without a trace, Qian Mo looked up and said, "Human Immortal... is that it?"

Qian Mo clenched his fist. "When I complete my mission, that will be the day I leave! The Human Immortal level—I, Qian Mo, will reach it soon!"

A voice sounded: "Congratulations, peak Dou Di. You have won, and you may leave. The memories of everyone on the Dou Qi Continent have been erased; they will not remember what happened, including the characters in your Samsara Realm."

Qian Mo paused. This old man even knew about his Samsara Realm? He was vigilant, but the voice continued: "You are one of Lord Mirror's people; of course I know. Rest assured, I have no malice."

Qian Mo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Thank you!"

With that, Qian Mo was teleported back to the interior of Han Feng City.

(Page 3/3)

Qian Mo descended toward Han Feng City and brought Yun Yun out.

"I... what just happened?" Yun Yi asked, full of confusion.

Qian Mo patted her forehead and said, "Nothing."

Qian Mo summoned Ma Lie, Ma Li, and Zhu Qingyi.

"You are to summon all the sects in the Black-Corner Region to Samsara City. If they don't listen, wipe them out!"

Zhu Qingyi was now a powerful Eight-Star Dou Zong, his cultivation and physique terrifyingly strong.

The three replied in unison, "Yes, Palace Master!"

Qian Mo was beginning his grand plan. He would start by conquering the Dou Qi Continent from the Black-Corner Region!

***

Before long, the area outside Samsara City was packed with people from all the major sects in the Black-Corner Region. They dared not resist the power of the terrifying Dou Zuns and Dou Zongs. Even though some sects had their own, they were no match. Those who resisted were wiped out—the dead were dead, the injured were injured. Zhu Qingyi alone, an Eight-Star Dou Zong, had obliterated the peak Dou Zongs and low-level Dou Zuns of those who opposed him.

The crowd felt both angry and afraid. Since they couldn't win, they had to obey.

Qian Mo walked out slowly, with Yun Yi following behind.

"Palace Master, Palace Mistress," the three said respectfully.

Qian Mo waved his hand.

"Those three terrifying people actually treat that young man as their leader?"
"Did you hear? He called the two above 'Palace Master' and 'Palace Mistress'!"
"Wow, this young master is so handsome; he doesn't seem as dangerous as we thought."
"Right, right! He looks so gentle! It's a good thing we didn't resist. I heard some sects that resisted were wiped out, and their Dou Zongs and Dou Zuns died."
"How pitiful..."

Qian Mo stepped forward and said loudly, "First, I am very happy you could come. It shows you give me face. Of course, since I am handsome, I naturally have face. You are all attracted by my handsome face and charming figure. I am very gratified."

"..." The entire crowd, including Yun Yi, Ma Lie, Ma Li, and Zhu Qingyi, was speechless.

Could you please have some shame!

No one dared to object, fearing they would be wiped out. Everyone kept their mouths shut.

Qian Mo turned serious and coughed. "Alright, that was just to liven up the atmosphere. I’m not as scary, terrifying, or evil as you think. I’m actually a very good person. If you listen, you’ll be rewarded. This is a gift for our first meeting."

He held up a flicker of red flame. "This is a seed of Heavenly Flame. Everyone who joins my Samsara City gets one. We have many surprises in store!"

"From now on, there is only one city in the Black-Corner Region! Samsara City! Only one sect! The Samsara Sect! Only one faction! The Samsara Faction! Don't worry, I won't treat you poorly. If anyone attacks us, we must stand together! No infighting, or I will wipe you out!"

"Also, no one is to stir up trouble; same punishment!"

Qian Mo held court, not giving anyone a chance to speak.

"..." We didn't agree, why are you making all the decisions?

Well, it seems we have no choice... if we don't join, we die. Actually, this doesn't seem so bad.

"It doesn't seem bad. Better than how we suffered before, and we get such good things." Some of the laborers whispered.

Many nodded.

Qian Mo sent the flame seeds into everyone's minds. "There, you all have Heavenly Flames. Mine can change color based on your attributes."

Someone below cheered, "Wow, it's true! Mine is purple!"

Soon, colorful flames erupted everywhere.

Qian Mo continued, "Places are named by people. From now on, the Black-Corner Region is renamed Samsara Town!"

"Spread the word! Tell those ignorant kids that the region has been renamed and there is only one sect!" Qian Mo shouted.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!!"

Qian Mo flew into the sky, looked at the size of the region, and waved his hand. All the scattered lands began to merge until they formed a giant island. This was now all part of Samsara Town and the Samsara Sect.

***

Qian Mo was in Samsara City, eating delicious fruit and holding Yun Yi in his arms. It felt wonderful!

Qian Mo thought of something: when he eventually left, he would turn the entire island into a floating one and take it to the Central Plains or even further.

This was his island, so he wanted to decorate it beautifully. He had an interest in 20th-century technology, like electric lights. How colorful and beautiful it would look floating in the sky!

He decided to act immediately. He found a blacksmith whose shop was fueled by the Heavenly Flame he had gifted.

The blacksmith bowed respectfully. "Town Master!"

"I have a mission for you, and I think you'll like it," Qian Mo said calmly.

The blacksmith's eyes brightened. "What is it, Town Master?"

"I need you to gather all the blacksmiths and carpenters you can find—only within Samsara Town. Bring them to the city; there will be great rewards." Qian Mo then vanished.

"The Town Master's cultivation is truly heaven-defying!" the blacksmith exclaimed, rushing off to fulfill the task.

***

Half a day later, ten people who were used to hard labor stood in the main hall.

"I have something for you to build. If you succeed, I will help you reach the Dou Wang level, even if you have no cultivation," Qian Mo said calmly.

The group was excited yet afraid—high rewards usually meant high risk.

"Don't worry, the task is safe. I need you to build something called 'electricity' throughout Samsara Town."

He pulled out a lightbulb and lit it. The dark hall became bright instantly.

"What kind of divine object is this!" These were veteran craftsmen, but they had never seen such a thing.

"This is an electric light. What maintains it is called electricity. Electricity is energy, just like a heart is to a body. Electricity is the heart of the light," Qian Mo explained.

"Such profound wisdom!"

Qian Mo shook his head. Since 22nd-century concepts were hard to grasp, he tapped their foreheads, transferring all the blueprints and information into their minds.
