Chapter 6: Slacking Off, Preventing the Protagonist from Stealing the Show!

Not long after Ye Qingcheng brought Du Guyun into the Primordial Holy Land, this news reached Jiang Chen. As the Holy Sonof the Holy Land, his status was revered, second only to the Holy Master.

He didn’t need to actively seek out information; it naturally came to him, facilitated by his subordinates. Everyone was aware of his long-standing affection for Ye Qingcheng, so news about her always reached him first.

“Young Master, I noticed Du Guyun seems quite close to Fairy Ye. Should we do something about it?” Wang Hu, a muscular man, inquired. He was the chief guard of Banished Immortal Peak, had impressive cultivation, and had been faithfully serving Jiang Chen for many years, handling numerous tasks.

Knowing the Young Master’s affection for Ye Qingcheng and assuming she would become Jiang Chen’s Dao companion, Wang Hu often paid special attention to news about Ye Qingcheng.

“No need,” Jiang Chen dismissed the idea. “From now on, don’t bother reporting anything about Ye Qingcheng to me. It’s just a waste of time.” Jiang Chen, now slacking off, showed no interest in involving himself with the main characters of the story.

Wang Hu appeared stunned, as if he had misheard. Usually, Jiang Chen would show keen interest in news about Ye Qingcheng, but now he seemed indifferent or even disdainful. Had the Holy Sonlost his feelings for Ye Qingcheng?

“Understood,” Wang Hu replied, perfectly fulfilling his role as a subordinate. Since Jiang Chen was no longer focused on Ye Qingcheng, he wouldn’t pry further.Diisscover new chapters at novelhall.com

To avoid any overthinking among his subordinates, Jiang Chen added, “And as for that Du Guyun, don’t interfere with him either.” Like most villains in stories, Jiang Chen had previously suppressed Du Guyun.

Ironically, this suppression often led to Du Guyun’s rapid rise and strong establishment in the Primordial Holy Land. Now that Jiang Chen was slacking off, he had no intention of bothering with Du Guyun. He was curious to see if Du Guyun could rise rapidly without his involvement.

With these assets, Jiang Chen could face even the Life and Death Realm without fear. He could even boldly claim that in the vast Nine Heavens Realm, among his peers of the same realm, few could contend with him.

“With such a background, why would I need to chase after a brainless woman!” Jiang Chen shook his head as he looked at his status. He couldn’t understand why his original self, with the strongest background, top-notch talent, powerful secret techniques, and divine weapons, would pursue a woman who didn’t love him, abandoning his greatest strengths.

“With such conditions, I should be contending for the Emperor’s path, aiming for the realm of a supreme emperor! Even if I can’t become an emperor, my future achievements would at least reach the quasi-emperor level. In the vast Nine Heavens Realm, I’d still be one of the highest-status individuals. But the original self couldn’t figure it out and chased after a brainless woman.”

“I’ve been slacking off for three days now, and my realm has already improved by a minor level. At this rate, it won’t take long to reach the Life and Death Realm!” Jiang Chen planned his future development.

After entering the True King Realm, progression in realms becomes incredibly slow. His improvement by a minor level in just three days was exceptionally rare. Moreover, the longer he slacks off, the faster his cultivation will grow, and stepping into the Emperor Realm isn’t just a fantasy.

In this world, the realms are divided into: Physical, True Spirit, Soul Palace, Soul Passage, Soul Sea, True King, Life and Death, Great Master, Saint Realm, and Emperor Realm, each with nine levels.

Jiang Chen, currently at the sixth level of the True King Realm, was a rarity among his peers.

“I remember the first major improvement Du Guyun had was because I ordered my subordinates to suppress him, which led him to a great opportunity that significantly increased his cultivation. This even gave him some fame in the Primordial Holy Land and helped him stabilize his footing!”

“Now that I’m not suppressing Du Guyun, I’m curious to see if he can achieve a significant improvement on his own!”

Jiang Chen thought to himself. Du Guyun’s early advancements were closely related to Jiang Chen. Suppression was actually an opportunity, a way to face challenges. Now that he was slacking off, he was interested to see how Du Guyun would handle challenges and gain opportunities.
