Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 19

Ruan Dongling hastily dropped Duan Tianhe’s foot and rushed forward to prop up his head, shoving a handful of Medicinal Pills into his mouth.

“Eat… eat these pills…”

“Senior Brother, I’m so glad you’re alright…”

Seeing Duan Tianhe still alive, Ruan Dongling finally felt relieved.

The Elders who had rushed over, upon confirming Duan Tianhe’s safety, calmly departed, as if this were a routine occurrence.

Sect Leader Ding’s disciples were no ordinary individuals; they were the future hope of the Heaven Origin Sect.

The title “Five Prodigies of Heaven Origin” wasn’t bestowed lightly.

It was highly likely that the Five Prodigies of Heaven Origin would soon become the Six Prodigies of Heaven Origin.

Although the Heaven Origin Sect was the largest sect in True Martial Prefecture, it didn’t even rank among the top ten sects across the Nine Provinces of the Six Suns Continent.

The entire True Martial Prefecture suffered from a severe lack of spiritual energy, making it a desolate backwater on the Six Suns Continent.

Ruan Dongling gazed at the blackened Duan Tianhe and remarked, “Senior Brother truly possesses extraordinary talent! He emerged unscathed even after enduring the Violet Firmament Thunder Tribulation!”

Duan Tianhe swallowed the large handful of Medicinal Pills, his throat parched and dry, nearly choking.

After finally swallowing the Medicinal Pills, Duan Tianhe grabbed Ruan Dongling’s sleeve and struggled to his feet.

Ruan Dongling glanced at the black handprint on her arm but held her tongue.

“Junior Sister, step back!”

The pills seemed to have taken effect; Duan Tianhe’s voice now rang with renewed vigor.

Ruan Dongling retreated two steps. Duan Tianhe formed a hand seal and cast the Purification Art.

The pitch-black figure before them instantly transformed, revealing a refreshed appearance.

Duan Tianhe now wore a vibrant jade-green robe cinched at the waist with a jade-inlaid belt. His hair was neatly bound by a jade crown, giving him an utterly refreshing aura.

He stood out like a plate of fresh greens amidst a table laden with meat, instantly whetting one’s appetite.

Noticing Ruan Dongling’s unwavering gaze, Duan Tianhe puffed out his chest and strode toward her.

“What’s this? Are you captivated by your Senior Brother’s divine and elegant bearing?”

“Indeed,” Ruan Dongling replied, her eyes twinkling. “I’ve never seen anyone so green before…” Seeing Duan Tianhe bouncing back to his usual self, she finally relaxed.

Just then, Elder Wang Fugui, the elder in charge of welcoming guests at the reception hall, arrived.

Elder Wang Fugui was short and stout, radiating wealth and prosperity. His perpetually smiling face and squinting eyes made him resemble the Maitreya Buddha.

“Disciple greets Elder Wang!” Duan Tianhe bowed respectfully.

Wang Fugui returned a slight bow. “No need for such formality, Xiao Wu.”

“Elder Wang, is there something you need?” Though Duan Tianhe was usually informal in private, he always maintained proper decorum when addressing senior members of the Sect.

“The Dustless Sect’s disciples have submitted a formal invitation to meet the Sect Leader’s Personal Disciple…”

“With the Sect Leader in seclusion and your senior brothers unavailable, I came to find you…”

“Since only you and Sixth Junior Brother are currently on First Peak, I’ll entrust this invitation to you.”

Wang Fugui produced a gilded invitation from his sleeve. Spiritual energy swirled around the unopened scroll.

“The Dustless Sect disciples are waiting in the guest hall. Please attend to them when you have time…”

“Elder Wang, which disciples from the Dustless Sect have come?” Ruan Dongling asked, her interest piqued.

“To send a formal invitation to the Sect Leader’s Personal Disciple, their status must be equally distinguished…”

“The visiting disciples are the Sect Leader’s Personal Disciples from the Dustless Sect: four men and one woman.”

“I’ve heard of the lead male disciple. They say he’s a genius the Dustless Sect recruited a few years ago, named Qi Sichen. He’s already at the Golden Core stage, which is… passable, I suppose.”

“The other disciples are all at the Foundation Establishment stage, with unremarkable cultivation levels. Nothing noteworthy.”

“But the female disciple… she strikes me as odd. Her complexion is pale, and her spiritual energy flows sluggishly, as if she suffers from some internal ailment.”

“I haven’t seen that female disciple before.”

Elder Wang stroked his beard thoughtfully before speaking.

Hmph, four men and one woman.

Not only Qi Sichen and Yun Yan’er had come, but likely everyone except Zhao Zeyan.

Duan Tianhe didn’t even bother opening the invitation before incinerating it.

“These days, they call anything a ‘genius’?”

“A mere Golden Core cultivator? That’s no genius! He’s not even worthy of carrying my Senior Brothers’ and Sisters’ shoes!”

Duan Tianhe rolled his eyes dramatically.

He had met Qi Sichen before and disliked him intensely.

The mere mention of Qi Sichen’s name made him want to avoid him entirely.

“Looking across True Martial Prefecture, there truly isn’t a Heavenly Pride who can compare to our Five Prodigies of Heaven Origin!” Elder Wang nodded in agreement, his face brimming with pride as he spoke of the Five Prodigies. But his tone shifted as he added, “However, the Dustless Sect is one of the Three Great Sects. Though weakened, they still maintain a mutual support pact with our sect…”

“Xiao Wu, Sixth Junior Brother, you two should go meet him. Just in case there’s something urgent…”

Visits between sect disciples were common in cultivation sects, serving as a form of inter-sect fellowship. Typically, disciples of equal seniority would exchange visits, sharing insights and sparring.

Because True Martial Prefecture held the lowest status among the Six Suns Continent’s nine prefectures, its cultivation sects had to unite to withstand the pressure from the other eight prefectures.

Already weak, internal strife would lead to their annihilation by rival prefectures in an instant.

True Martial Prefecture’s bottom-tier status stemmed from its lack of top-tier combat power.

Once a Heavenly Pride reached the Void Refinement Realm, they would typically leave True Martial Prefecture to cultivate in other prefectures.

The spiritual energy in True Martial Prefecture could no longer sustain their cultivation.

When these powerful cultivators ventured to other prefectures, they were forced to join other sects, severing all ties with the True Martial Prefecture.

Failure to do so would result in their collective execution by other powerful figures.

This vicious cycle further weakened the True Martial Prefecture.

After hearing Elder Wang’s words, Duan Tianhe reluctantly agreed.

As Duan Tianhe prepared to summon his flying sword to escort Ruan Dongling to the guest pavilion, his gaze swept across her and he exclaimed in surprise,

“Junior Sister! You’ve already reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining?”

Ruan Dongling calmly summoned Too Flashy, her flying sword, which hovered in the air.

“Junior Sister, I was only in seclusion for three months, yet you’re already on the verge of Foundation Establishment!” Duan Tianhe sighed in astonishment.

Ruan Dongling rode Too Flashy, while Duan Tianhe flew alongside her on his own flying sword.

“Senior Brother, when we meet the Dustless Sect members, no matter what happens, don’t say a word or interfere!” Ruan Dongling instructed, her heart racing with excitement.

She imagined meeting Yun Yan’er and gifting her all the treasures from her storage pouch. This way, her precious items would increase tenfold!

However, if Duan Tianhe remained unaware of her plan, he might try to stop her. She needed to warn him in advance to prevent any delays in her path to wealth.

Duan Tianhe, though puzzled, nodded in agreement.

Soon, the pair arrived at the guest pavilion.

The guest pavilion was arguably the most magnificent structure in the entire Heaven Origin Sect.

After all, the guest quarters served as a showcase of the Heaven Origin Sect’s strength and prestige.

Guided by a disciple, the two arrived at the reception hall.

The moment Ruan Dongling’s eyes met Qi Sichen’s, a cold glint flashed in his handsome eyes, and the teacup in his hand hurtled straight toward her face!

Qi Sichen had launched an attack on Ruan Dongling the instant they met!

Duan Tianhe let out a startled “Yi!” and the teacup shattered into fragments mid-air.

With a swift forward thrust of his palm, a massive palm shadow materialized, hurtling toward Qi Sichen.

“Impudence!”

Qi Sichen’s expression darkened. He retreated a step, and a bell-shaped silver light flashed, dispersing Duan Tianhe’s palm shadow.

It was a Low-Rank Heaven Grade defensive Magic Artifact—capable of withstanding attacks from Spirit Transformation stage cultivators!

Any Heaven Grade Magic Artifact would drive cultivators mad with desire.

Yet Ruan Dongling wasn’t surprised. After all, Qi Sichen’s true identity was extraordinarily powerful!

It would be no surprise if he possessed not only Heaven Grade Magic Artifacts but even legendary Dao Grade Divine Artifacts!

A flicker of astonishment crossed Duan Tianhe’s face, followed by boundless fury.

To attack his Junior Sister the moment they met, while being a guest of the Heaven Origin Sect!

This was utterly outrageous!

“Qi Sichen, what do you think you are?! Daring to cause trouble in my Heaven Origin Sect?!”
