Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

(I messed up, I published later chapter first so I release early today)

----------

"I just bring the ladies home and now I have this…" after the conversation with the old men of the Heavenly Secret Tower, Su Xiaotian smiles wryly to himself as he never expected that he will be pushed into going outside again now that he wants nothing more than to just cultivate in the island peacefully for now, shaking his head as he feels like his plans are completely foiled as he needs to go there, even if its just out of respect for the old men who gave him the invitation.

'Come to think of it, Dao Xuanyuan is from the Dao Seeking Mountain right? This is a good chance to meet him again since I hardly saw him back inside the Golden Spirit Pool' he thought to himself as he starts looking forward to meeting this talent once again, possessing a battle awareness and genius enough to match his prowess back then.

After thinking about his next encounter with this scholarly young man, he remembers that he has other business in the Heavenly Secret Tower, prompting him to move towards the direction where Hua Jingxian and the other leaders of the Heavenly Secret Tower's office is.

"That phone is really one hell of a product" sitting at the chair in front of Su Xiaotian, Hua Jingxian said as he points on the table, a glass screen appearing from the ceiling above, displaying a map of the entire east continent, along with the areas that their product already spreads to, said area already covering more than three fourth of the continent within just a few weeks after it appears in the market.

"Now nearly all of the entire continent's population own these devices, we can start the second phase of the plans" looking satisfied with the information on the screen, the immortal-like young man said with a smile on his face as he looks towards the father of one of his lovers, the two of them looking like two sinister businessmen as they smile maniacally as if there's something really good happening.

"You two, please refrain from smiling like that, you look like you're colluding about something" from another seat, an amiable-looking handsome middle-age man, appearing like an older version of Ling Feng said, his voice ending with a sigh as he looks at this duo who seems to way too sinister when compared to their reputations outside.

"Come on old Yang, don't speak like that, speak proudly, we don't look like we're colluding about something, I and this little brat here is really colluding about something!!" the bearded middle-aged man said before laughing to himself, thinking that this is a good joke to say, the only reason why the immortal-like young man in front of him is laughing to his joke being out of respect for him being his lover's father.

'Uncle Jingxian's jokes seems to be quite repetitive' the immortal-like young man thought to himself as he remembers all the times that the bearded middle-aged man used this joke already, the other middle-aged man in the room thinking the same thing as well.

"We're already pulling the spies out in the field now, it's one hell of a hassle to do to be honest…" looking at the papers he is holding, the amiable-looking middle-aged man, Ling Yang, said towards the two, the problem of making it so that the other forces don't notice the movements of the Heavenly Secret Tower being an extremely hard thing to do, especially since they are one of the greatest forces in the continent.

"Uncle Yang, no need to rush about these matter, we can start the second phase of the plan whenever we want" the immortal-like young man said with a carefree smile on his face is if the thing they are talking about is not something that will change the Heavenly Secret Tower's grasp on the entire continent.

"Nephew Xiaotian, you seems to be way to coolheaded about it…" looking at the immortal-like young man's attitude towards this project, Ling Yang couldn't help but commend him, his time tested eyes completely knowing that this is really how the young man feels about this thing, not some sort of pretense he is keeping up just to impress them.

"After all, while information is really essential as well, one's own strength is still the thing every creature will fall on in the end, Uncle Yang, if the thing we're talking about is a way for me to step into the celestial level without forsaking the kind of foundation and future I have right now, then I might be even more stressed out than you are" Su Xiaotian explained causing the amiable-looking middle aged man to laugh, not expecting to hear something like this from someone as young as him.

"You're a great guy to talk with, Nephew Xiaotian, very much unlike my brother-in-law here" the amiable-looking Ling Yang said as he explicitly jabs on the bearded middle-aged man with them, causing a common, yet still pretty terrifying event to happen once again, two of the leaders of the Heavenly Secret Tower duking it out like young children fighting for candy.

While this fight is starting to happen, the immortal-like young man is already about to leave the Heavenly Secret Tower, quite satisfied with the result of the 'Heaven's Eyes Project', something that is about to reach into the most hidden information in the continent within just a matter of a few weeks, at most a couple of months.

"Xuanyuan, a young prince from the central province is going to visit during this time's Dao Enlightenment Competition" within a certain room in the building located at the tallest mountain peak of the Dao Seeking Mountain, a mature beauty said towards the younger beauty sitting just right in front of her, said younger beauty that of someone with a natural scholarly bearing that is innate to herself.

"Tsk, looks like I'm about to suffer the same fate as Zi Yu'er" being aware of the fate that befalls on one of her peers in her generation, the scholarly beauty said loudly as if her master is not there, the words coming out of her little mouth causing the mature beauty in front of her to start giggling, eventually growing into a loud laugh, her melodious voice ringing all throughout the large room they are in.

"You think this old lady will just allow the Imperial Court to do that?" after laughing for a while, the mature beauty said as her voice turns cold, not towards the younger beauty in front of her but rather to her words, the boundless aura exploding from her very being causing every sword in the near few dozens of kilometers around them to tremble in fear, something that not even the owners of those swords, expert cultivators or not, can stop.

"Did I say anything like that?" knowing her master's antics, the scholarly beauty innocently said as she tilts her head, her actions prompting the mature beauty to disperse the aura she is letting out, causing the massive unrest to stop within a second before she reaches out her fair slender hands towards her beloved disciple, flicking her forehead out of annoyance.

'That will teach you a lesson' she thought to herself as she watches the young beauty rubbing her forehead with her hands.
