This is some solo leveling type stuff—AWESOMEEE

Here me out: what if they could somehow use the destructive power of a gigatitan for—construction 😈

potential waifu??

Sadly the manhua doesn’t show too much of it, but in the LN:
The old man never revealed himself to be of importance in the sect, so of course he doesn’t tell Zhuo Fan much about the sect—just how it works in general. BUT, Zhuo Fan’s respect for the old man comes from the old man sharing his deep insight into the Dao. The only reason why Zhuo Fan hasn’t turned the sect upside down (probably) for sending him to the Laborer’s Office is because he can talk to the old man about the Dao and improve his mental state and heart. In cultivation, understanding the Dao and dealing with one’s inner demons is the most important, and it can make someone much stronger than another person with the same cultivation but a lesser understanding of the Dao. :)

Oh don't worry--there are MANY more satisfying kills to come ;) He is probably the most calculative person in the mortal realm. Of course his clansmen and adopted children (the sacred beast offspring) and qingcheng do cause him trouble, and sometimes he does get duped (he's still human, after all), but he will find ways to overcome those obstacles--in the most satisfying ways possible 😌

Additional spoilers on his "flaws":The only thing is--he doesn't understand any woman's heart, except maybe qingcheng's 🤔 it can be to the point where he can expertly foil the smartest Prime Minister's plans but not realize a girl is smitten with him. Dense MC type...

Spoilers on the old man:

Elder Yuan is definitely a good man, putting his all for the sect. However, he changes Zhuo Fan in the best ways possible, enabling Zhuo Fan to achieve higher levels in comprehending the Dao. Too many people focus on just cultivation and neglect understanding how the world works (Dao), and as a result, they will lack in strength compared to other people with the same cultivation but a deeper understanding of the Dao. Yes, Zhuo Fan will face many troubles for maintaining a good heart despite using ingenious tactics on the surface. But because of his improvement in understanding the Dao from Elder Yuan, he becomes too strong for these troubles to be of much bother. Also, this allows Zhuo Fan to ultimately be able to choose Chu Qingcheng instead of walking a lone path ;)

Even deeper spoilers:
Elder Yuan ultimately passes down the True Self Art to Zhuo Fan, which is an art he made himself that focuses on one’s heart. This art ultimately helps Zhuo Fan surpass all others and transcend sovereign stage :)

factsss

i gotchu.

tl;dr: The games are too short. The cool players can’t get enough screentime. Some cool players go bye-bye after a few cool moments. Sadness all around.

ohh gui hu is the main disciple of the grand elder, whom you saw releasing his fiendish aura last chapter ✨

It was never mentioned in detail, but here is the gist: (and the gist is all you will need to know ✨)

For context, the double dragon gathering is an event held at the Double Dragon Manor, which is the leader of the Western region of the Mortal Realm, and this event determines which disciples from western sects get to train at the Manor and receive tons of resources and guidance. Since Demon Scheming Sect is one of the lower three sects, they don’t get much resources and also don’t produce too many experts to send to the double dragon gathering. Last time the event was held, the four fiends of hell (the fourth one being Xie Wuyue) were the only ones to barely survive it and return to their sect. This might seem shameful, but of course the four fiends spun the story to make it seem glorious, and Xie Wuyue even got to be the Sect Leader.

Even further spoilers:

Later on, you’ll see just how powerful the middle three sects and the upper three sects are—they have tons of ethereal stage cultivators and even many soul harmony stage elders and venerables (this is the stage above ethereal stage). If Zhuo Fan were not with the Demon Scheming Sect, this time the disciples probably won’t even survive—except for maybe Gui Hu. The gap between the lower three sects and the upper three sects is astronomical 😭

I finished the LN recently, so I can answer any questions ;)
