Chapter 1553: Chapter 1553: Collect Your Cultivation Gift Pack!

Jiang Xiaobai just felt it was so hard to choose!

“I mean, it’s not like I have to offend people on purpose, or stir up trouble, but I have no choice–the system is forcing me!”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed.

The reward from option three, to replenish the Primordial Chaos Grindstone, was something he desperately wanted!

He was very clear that many signs had already indicated that he was influenced by the Primordial Chaos Grindstone, which is why he was having these uncontrollable emotional outbursts.

This is a big problem!

Whether it was saving Bai Liang last time or getting angry after hearing about Hu Sheng’s situation, these were not good signs.

It might not seem like a big deal now, but Jiang Xiaobai didn’t dare to guarantee that he wouldn’t lose his head in the future, completely immerse himself in his emotions like a madman.

What if the influence of the Primordial Chaos Grindstone seeps in when he’s vulnerable, taking control of his emotions and turning him into an emotionless machine?

“To stay alive, and to live even better, sacrifices must be made to some Earthly Immortal realm’s power, but it’s not a big deal; it’s just a grudge, not a deadly feud.”

“At worst, you hit me a couple of times, then I beat you up; it’s not a major impact.”

Jiang Xiaobai, having gone through numerous system tasks, had become quite good at scrutinizing the details.

A long time ago, he even found a BUG in the system and took advantage of it to get a bunch of rewards. It was just that one time, though; it seems like the system realized something, and that kind of situation never happened again.

Even the frequency of task releases started to decrease.

But the reward for this task is so great, he’s determined to get it!

“System, I choose option three!”

Just as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking and was preparing to think of ways to trouble the Earthly Immortal realm’s powers, the system suddenly notified him that the task was more than half completed, and the reward had been sent to the Earthly Immortal realm!

“What the hell?”

“What’s going on? I’m just sitting at home and trouble comes knocking from the sky?”

“When did I ever offend the powers of the Earthly Immortal realm, and such a super power at that?”

Jiang Xiaobai went crazy with frustration; this feeling was too uncomfortable.

“System, is there a chance for me to see which powers I’ve accumulated grudges with?”

Jiang Xiaobai probed the system.

Unexpectedly, this time the system actually responded–a spreadsheet appeared before him, and seeing the densely packed names of dozens of powers, Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.

“Did I… do something to incur such wrath and offend so many Earthly Immortal realm powers? I don’t think I’ve even had the chance to go to the Earthly Immortal realm yet, have I?”

“Could it be because of what Gu Ning did when he went to snatch seeds?”

While Jiang Xiaobai was guessing in his heart, he was scrolling through the force names on the list that looked intimidating, the kind that were obviously not easy to provoke.

Especially the first one–some Demon Emperor’s Palace, man, that name is so arrogant!

But as he kept looking, Jiang Xiaobai saw a power that almost made his eyes pop out of their sockets.

“Wait a minute, system, you need to explain this to me. I can tolerate getting on the bad side of other forces, but you tell me why I’ve offended the Underworld?”

“I didn’t do anything!”

He could see it clearly, there it was written on the list–Underworld Netherworld, in big bold characters!

“I am so wrongly accused; I am even more innocent than Dou E!”

Jiang Xiaobai complained, “System, give me an explanation.”

The system didn’t give any response, and to add insult to injury, it even took away the list in front of Jiang Xiaobai.

What else could Jiang Xiaobai do but silently bear the injustice?

Let out a long sigh to the heavens?

“Sure enough, being too handsome is a problem–look at this, I haven’t even set foot in the Earthly Immortal realm, and already so many powers are after me because of my handsome face.”

“I just hope it’s not some witch or saintess insisting on kidnapping me to make me their husband; I can’t bear such a blessing!”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed inwardly, feeling life was just too hard for him.

And offending the underworld… what a headache.

He’s supposed to seek out a method to awaken Ao Yan in the netherworld’s underworld. Yet before he’s even stepped foot there, the other side has set its sights on him–finding a method would be a miracle!

“Whatever the case, I still need to take a look… Forget it, I’ve come this far. What of the Earth Immortal realm’s powers? Bring one, smash one!”

“First, let’s see what the heck this system-unlocked ‘Stairway to Heaven’ is. Could it be similar to the Divine Valley?”

Jiang Xiaobai wanted to check the introduction to the Stairway to Heaven, but there was nothing. He planned to spend ten million points to enter and see for himself; the system, however, indicated that the host didn’t meet the requirements?

“What’s the deal with all the secrecy? Fine! I won’t go if it’s going to be like that!”

Jiang Xiaobai simply let it be and checked his points balance. After so many events, he had nearly spent all of his points.

But after one look, he was stunned–there were as much as seven billion points!

“Why the heck…?”

Jiang Xiaobai hastily scrolled through the backend information and found that those points came from the prestige contributed by the forces on the list. Fortunately, there was no negative prestige; otherwise, as soon as he ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, he probably would have been attacked en masse!

Remembering the title of ‘Great Villain of the Three Thousand Worlds’ from the past, he felt desperate.

“Strange, isn’t someone messing with me from behind?”

“This is so absurd!”

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, sensing that he needed to be very cautious on his upcoming trip to the Earth Immortal realm.

With someone screwing him over from behind, he had to think of a way to deal with it.

After getting his gains in order, Jiang Xiaobai was ready to leave. The reward for this mission would only be given after successfully entering the Earth Immortal realm.

He would enter the Earth Immortal realm tomorrow, so there was no rush at this moment.

Stepping out of the room, Jiang Xiaobai felt refreshed and powerful, and the thought of imminent rewards made him feel that offending those powers now seemed trivial.

“Really is a freak of nature, had a sudden epiphany and then broke through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal at the peak?”

Qin Ruonan muttered, “Give you a few more years or even decades, aren’t you just going to break through to the supreme level? Wouldn’t the world be at your mercy then, with no one able to beat you?”

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head; he couldn’t very well say it was all because the system gave him rewards, could he? Cheating is one thing, but to openly tell others about it–isn’t that asking for a beatdown?

“Maybe it’s because I’m too handsome, which leads to an extraordinary talent,” Jiang Xiaobai earnestly replied.

Everyone rolled their eyes, even Qiongyu and the rest couldn’t help it–this guy’s shameless behavior was getting worse day by day!

“Your lifespan has increased by about half a year.”

Gu Ning suddenly spoke up: “Perhaps the breakthrough in cultivation level could also increase the lifespan somewhat.”

At these words, everyone looked over, and Jiang Xiaobai was also taken aback.

He thought to himself why he felt like he had gained something extra yet couldn’t pinpoint it–could it really be his lifespan?

And suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai thought of something. Could it be because of the severe losses he caused when clearing the space in the crystalline structure on the Immortal Path?

Was the compensation from the system due to this?

“Forget it, let’s not think too much about it. I’ll find a solution after getting to the Earth Immortal realm.”

“Let’s have some tea. Once I reach the Earth Immortal realm, I probably won’t be able to settle down.”

…

Meanwhile, in the Earth Immortal realm, within the domain of the Demon Emperor’s Palace.

A group of strong members of the Demon Emperor’s Palace was frantically chasing a figure.

“Jiang Xiaobai, if you’ve got guts, stop running! Damn it, you’ve messed up so much for my Demon Emperor’s Palace and even dared to be disrespectful to the Demoness. If I catch you, I swear I’ll kill you!”

A youth at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Demon Emperor’s Palace roared repeatedly.

Yet, Jiang Xiaobai, running ahead, didn’t turn his head back and completely ignored them, focusing only on his desperate escape.

This infuriated the Demon Emperor’s Palace disciples trailing behind!

But no one noticed that Jiang Xiaobai, the guy on the run, had a sly smile creeping over his face.

“Kid, better take good care of this big gift pack of experiences,” he thought.
