"Holy crap!"
"This can actually happen?"
"He's cheating!"
"This damn bastard is cheating!"
"Mom, I want to report this! Someone's cheating here!"

Ye Qiye
o( (⊙﹏⊙) )o
His eyes were wide open.
His mouth was agape, wide enough to swallow a toad whole.
His current appearance was completely contrary to his "pretentious" persona!
But at this moment, Ye Qiye couldn't care less.
He only had one thought in his mind: Senior is awesome, Senior is amazing, I kneel to Senior!
*Thump!*
After the initial shock, Ye Qiye snapped back to reality.
All his shock transformed into adoration for "a certain Senior"!
Infinite adoration!
Ye Qiye could no longer resist the charm of "a certain Senior." His legs buckled, and he knelt down heavily.
Senior, I kneel to you!
At this moment, Ye Qiye was thoroughly convinced and completely "deified"!
In his eyes, Senior was light, Senior was electricity, Senior was the one and only legend!
Senior was the wind, Senior was warmth, Senior was the April sky of this world!
Senior, forever the best!

Inside the cave.
Hao Ren suddenly received a "special system notification."
At this moment, because Hao Ren had successfully "pretended" and subdued the "colossal Heavenly Tribulation," transforming it into an unprecedented "Thunder Lake," all the cultivators who witnessed this scene were filled with boundless admiration for him.
Especially the low-level disciples of "Yun Family Immortal Abode." They had only heard legends of the "mysterious Senior" before, but had never truly witnessed the "heaven-defying power" of the "mysterious Senior."
Now, they had truly "opened their eyes with a shock"!
After witnessing the "awesomeness" of the "mysterious Senior," the "low-level cultivators" treated the "mysterious Senior" as a deity.
An omnipotent deity!
A deity they worshipped fervently!

The "system messages" in Hao Ren's mind were scrolling by.
However, he still noticed the "system message" about "Ye Qiye" at a glance.
Ye Qiye's identity had successfully captured Hao Ren's attention.
Undercover agent!
Infernal Affairs?
Interesting!
Hao Ren immediately opened Ye Qiye's personal detailed attribute panel.
[Name: Ye Qiye]
[Age: Twenty-two]
[Identity: Peerless genius of the "Abyss"]
[Dao cultivation realm one: Righteous Path - Late Foundation Establishment (Special Note: Ye Qiye cultivates the "Magic Heart Seed Dao Divine Art," possessing two cultivation systems)]
[Dao cultivation realm two: Demonic Path - Nascent Soul Early Stage]
[Detailed Description: Ye Qiye has a special physique and cultivates the legendary "Magic Heart Seed Dao Divine Art." Because his cultivation is so outstanding, his talent in the Righteous Path has surpassed that of the Demonic Path. He can even invoke the "Great Dao's Implication," making him superior to the most outstanding "Dao Child"...]
[Affection Level: Five Stars (Life-and-Death Best Friend)]

Hao Ren
(￣ェ￣；)
Speaking of which, this "Ye Qiye" is truly peculiar!
He cultivates the "Magic Heart Seed Dao Divine Art" and not only shows no signs of exposure but even appears more like a "Dao Child" than the actual "Dao Child."
As an "undercover agent," he's truly a "masterpiece"!
So, what is Ye Qiye's purpose in being an "undercover agent"?
Hao Ren, as a "master cultivator" with an eighth-level specialization in "hiding," never takes any "potential threat" lightly.
Even though Ye Qiye is a "peculiar undercover agent," an "improper undercover agent."
Still, Hao Ren must understand his "true objective."
Hao Ren carefully examined Ye Qiye's "detailed description" again and roughly understood the fellow's purpose.
To investigate the strength of the surface cultivators, preparing for the "Abyss's" full-scale invasion of the surface!
Uh...
This feels dangerous!
But in reality... there's no "danger" at all!
Through Ye Qiye's "detailed attribute panel," Hao Ren learned that the "Abyss" is a very peculiar existence.
The "Abyss" is located at a depth of 100,000 miles underground, within the "core" of this world, isolated from everything.
The mainstream cultivation system in the "Abyss" is "Demonic Cultivation."
As "Demonic Cultivators," the slogan "rule the world" must be shouted.
Otherwise, you'd seem unambitious!
Therefore, the "Abyss Lords" of past generations have always loved shouting the slogan "invade the surface and rule the world."
But slogans are just slogans, meant to be shouted for the sake of it. Anyone who takes them seriously has lost.
Staying well within the "Abyss," isn't it blissful?
Why go to the surface to fight and kill with "surface cultivators," what's the point?
Moreover, the "Abyss" is rich in resources and filled with spiritual energy. Living there is incredibly carefree!
In comparison, the "surface" is simply a barren wasteland.
If they were to truly conquer the "surface," wouldn't they have to share some of the "Abyss's" resources with the "surface"?
A loss!
A huge loss!
Such a "loss-making" business, an "Abyss Lord" wouldn't do it without a million years of "brain clot"!
Therefore, there's no need to worry about the "Abyss" invading the "surface" at all.
As for why Ye Qiye came here?
This is considered an "excellent tradition" of the "Abyss."
Every hundred years, they send their most outstanding "geniuses" to the surface as "undercover agents."
Don't misunderstand, being an "undercover agent" doesn't have any special purpose. It's just to see how strong the "surface cultivators" are, and then, in their hearts, to "mock" them a bit.
They call these "strong cultivators"?
Our "Abyss's" "peerless experts" are ten thousand times stronger than them!
Trash!
Pfft...
Yes, they come to find a sense of "superiority."
Above and below, the "Abyss" is the strongest, Hooray!
This is why Ye Qiye has always been "so pretentious"!
He's from the "Abyss," he's the "king of the underground," and he looks down on the foolish "surface cultivators" from the bottom of his heart.
However, when Ye Qiye encountered "a certain Senior," a "pretentious person" met a "pretentious king."
He was conquered!
He was utterly conquered, body, mind, and will!
He knelt to Senior!
Now, in Ye Qiye's eyes, Senior is awesome, Senior is incredible, Senior is amazing...
The "Abyss" is nothing, a frog in a well, embarrassing!
In front of "Senior," the "Abyss" is mere scum!
As an "undercover agent," Ye Qiye has abandoned the "Abyss's" stance. He now only wishes to pledge allegiance and listen to Senior's teachings.
Senior is light, Senior is electricity, Senior is the one and only legend...
"A certain Senior"
(╯▽╰)
Heh, my damn charm!
