| You received Scars of Transcendence (Gold)!
| You received 200,000 Karma Points!
| You received Indifference!
"Scars of Transcendence..."
Me Feng went silent. It's a good talent, graded Gold by the prompt, which obviously exceeded the Purple rank by a considerable margin.
Still, a sad smile graced his face. It wasn't a demanding talent, unlike the maniacal one. It's just somewhat ironic.
| Scars of Transcendence (Gold): Scars existed to temper your existence. They're not the proof of your mistakes, rather, they're the crutches that hold up your weary existence. They served as a memorial that you're capable of conquering your mistakes.
| A tiny mishap granted you a random boon.
| A minor setback granted you a breakthrough.
| A major setback granted you an elevation in the aspects of your choice.
| A catastrophic setback granted you a Perfect Aspect.
| Reminder: Physical scars will remain on your body.
| Detected that the host had a minor setback. The host was granted the right to break through!
Like an unshackled dome, the qi in the surroundings furiously entered his meridians, filling up his system.
At the end of the Qi Gathering Phase, the qi within the body would start to compress since qi has filled up the meridians, and they began to condense by clashing against each other to create a more potent qi. Afterward, the cultivation would enter the Qi Condensation Phase, where it will keep producing condensed qi for preparation to complete the Qi Refinement realm.
Soon, began the procedure of the creation of the vague lines which would be the cultivator's Foundation Palace that would serve as footholds to build the foundation, which was named by the ancient cultivators as the Qi Completion Phase. Most cultivators called it the Three Foundation Preparation Stages.
Afterward, the Foundation Building would come next, which requires extensive research and preparation before it could form a Foundation Palace, which will serve as the cultivator's foothold to elevate themselves in the future.
Me Feng silently sat as his qi started to gather in random spots, like natural suctions that sucked them in. It was a smooth journey, and unlike the other clumsy cultivators who recklessly gathered their qi, Me Feng did it with ungodly precision, creating a very strong foundation to formulate his future palace.
With a serene look, he successfully breaks through the 3rd Qi Refinement realm, reaching the 4th Qi Refinement realm, the Qi Condensation Phase.
"If that was called a minor setback, then just how devastating a major setback would be? Not to mention a Catastrophic one..."
Me Feng wryly smiled.
He didn't feel helpless for long. He did enough of that. He was more interested in the other prompt that stated a feature had been unlocked.
Although it was difficult to take his eyes off of the karma he just received, his interest was ultimately drawn to the new feature. With a reluctant turn, Me Feng's eyes greedily took in the new feature like a man in heat.
It seems like his bad tendencies came back again...
"This better be good!"
| Villainess's Dearest Procedure has been updated to Villainess's Dearest Darling!
| Feature: Host can receive karma points should the Villainess's heart flutter by the host!
| Feature 2: Host can receive a hundred thousandth karma points of what a standard villainess would grant should a person's heart flutter by the host!
He was stunned. It's only when a sudden howl of the wind blows his eyes with dust that he wakes up from his stupor.
"This thing truly wanted me to become a bad guy, huh?"
Me Feng chuckled. Does this mean he must become a dashing, heroic young man who could make countless women go crazy? He, who couldn't even touch his own wife, was expected to do such a perilous activity?
"What the f*ck."
He flatly cursed.
You want me to die out of embarrassment, huh?
| Yu Minhe's heart fluttered by remembering your deeds. You received 500 Karma!
He stumbled. Master, please don't be too much of a typical woman, whose words are filled with hidden meanings and other shenanigans.
You punished and cursed me, you even threatened me, yet your heart fluttered by me just now? Master, I'm sorry, but this is bullsh*t.
Although the fact that the prompt uplifted his mood by over 1,000% was undeniable, Me Feng was still confused and lost by his complicated master.
"Anyway, rather than thinking about this insolvable issue, I better check out other things."
Shaking his befuddled head to throw out any unnecessary thoughts, he eyed his status and showed a slick smile.
"I wonder how shocked they'll be after I came out a year later."
His eyes glinted. At the minimum, he could even upgrade the Earth Scripture: Elephant Bodily Strength to the next level, along with the Thunderous Winged Snake!
Since the appearance of a prompt that stated how random karma's worth is, Me Feng began to have second thoughts about the Exchange feature. It's best to put it out of his consideration unless he was rich enough...
| Reminder: Exchange above 100,000 Karma would guarantee a precious boon!
"And get another Sovereign Scripture like Endless Body Battles which required a ton amount of karma and a suicidal path to practice? No way!"
He's unmoved by the prompt's reminder.
As for his current Sovereign Scriptures, he obviously would not touch the Everlasting Trance. Maybe he'll do the Endless Body Battles. It all depends on his plans.
"Who will be shocked by you, you rascal? Enough talk. Go cultivate diligently, and don't disappoint that master of yours! Don't you know she was the one who uplifted our status in the eyes of the people, bringing our standing up a notch amongst the other four major sects?"
Me Feng's eyebrows creased in annoyance. Up above the mountain, just right outside the barrier, a noisy, snarky old man leisurely played with his spear, sneering down at him.
That must be Audacious Little Be, who couldn't shut up for a second. The day went on with his nagging, rendering Me Feng speechless and irritated. He swore his eardrums started to have their frequency because of how much noise they received...
"-And so, I kicked that little sh*t because of how audacious he was! Said my master. Can you believe that? Just because of a rambling senile old man did, I was named the Audacious Little Be! What sort of bullsh*t—"
Me Feng sighed exasperatedly. At least this stupid noisy dwarf would go at night. Then he will have his peace.
On second thought, maybe his master wanted him to suffer... Her otherworldly appearance did compensate for her cranky attitude though.
Despite his grief, Me Feng showed an amused smile. It's better to enjoy what's good rather than immersing in what's bad.
176th Day, Year 12,823,939 of World Calender.
It's been 3 month since Me Feng was thrown into this cultivation world and was forced to pursue these so-called Villainesses that could pretty much change the world in order to get stronger.
At this moment, Me Feng was flabbergasted.
"...What?"
"Listen kid, I've heard of your prowess. We all heard of it. Our ears are getting sick of Gu Peng's constant reminder. Your tremendous improvement in your cultivation also proved his statement." Elder Be snorted angrily.
"So in 4 months, you will be sent to the Yearly Martial Conference of Qian Prefecture. You, along with the other 6 Core Disciples will be matched up against Core Disciples of the other sects."
"How about my punishment?"
"F*ck your punishment. Would you believe me if I said that your master would send us to hell if we didn't bring you back as soon as possible?"
Elder Be's face distorted in fear, remembering Yu Minhe's face when an elder asked about Me Feng's punishment. He didn't know why, but since the day the sect was reformed, the Sect Leader seemed to be getting more and more upset as the days passed by.
Shouldn't she feel happy since her burden has come off?
His eyes suddenly brightened up. It's not because of that arrogant prince from the Tianxi Dynasty who kept bothering her, right?
Elder Be suddenly smiled wretchedly. Me Feng scoffed in disgust. What a wretched smile.
"Hoho, this would be a good material for me to brag!"
"Elder, stop with your nonsense. I have several questions."
Elder Be paused. He looked Me Feng up and down, and as if he saw something disgusting, he ejected a drop of spit into Me Feng's shoes, rendering him speechless once again by the elder's antics.
"Puh, audacious disciple, daring to talk about me that way. Would you still dare to do it if I provoke those furious Core Disciples whose position in the competition got snatched by you?"
"Call them if you want to. I show you what a genius truly meant!"
Elder Be was taken aback by the sudden heroism gushing out of Me Feng, who looked at the sky softly, with a determined look in his clear, black eyes. Unlike his previous antics, the elder saw a sense of something indiscernible from this lad.
It's like this because Me Feng always got a daily prompt regarding Yu Minhe's fluttering heart, and as days went by, his fondness for her grew, and he couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
His desire for strength exponentially increased by this, and he couldn't wait to get stronger. Soon, the day when he will not be ashamed of his cultivation will come, and he will proudly take her as his bride.
The sole reason Elder Be could get Me Feng's mysterious aura under his radar was because of his years of experience, and how he witnessed those Heaven-defying Geniuses who could even go against their previous generation.
Their aura was precisely like this! The confidence to take on anything!
A hint of awe graced his eyes. Still, Elder Be was known for his roughness, and without hesitation, he kicked Me Feng's toned butt, bringing him down to a few pegs.
"F*ck!"
"Cease your impudence and let's go!"
Me Feng rubbed his butt as he followed Elder Be, despite his complaint about Elder Be's violent tendency. Inwardly, he felt this sense of giddiness, and he looked forward to this competition.
After all, he needs something to test his newfound strength. With a confident smirk, Me Feng was out of the Forsaken Mountain Range.
He's finally a free man!

There are a lot of things Me Feng did. One thing was clear.
Me Feng was basically unmatched in his realm, and perhaps the realm above him! The biggest gain was his current mind, where he had fully embraced his cursed heart and his feelings.
His chaotic mind had already been sorted out, and it was transparent-clear now. Me Feng was surprised back then.
So it was that simple, after all.
"I'm getting closer and closer to you."
Yes. He just needs to pursue women and get stronger to meet his wife. Me Feng couldn't care less about any other things, thoughts, or feelings. Even if he had to conquer a literal Fairy, even if he had to conquer and snatch an Immortal's heart...
With a hardened gaze, he vanished with Elder Be.
