Otherwise, he would’ve immediately drawn a past cheat—bringing back Tree Bro to accompany him for another month.
The only problem was… what counted as a “sufficient” number of past cheats? The system didn’t specify.
Wait.
What was this month’s cheat again?
Oh right, God’s Perspective.
What even was that?
Just as Han pondered this, an expansive map suddenly appeared in his mind.
The map displayed his immediate surroundings in great detail, including buildings, terrain, and even treasures on market stalls—each labeled with descriptions.
The living beings in his range were represented by avatars, with colored borders and accompanying text.
His own avatar sat at the map’s center, surrounded by numerous others. The border colors were green, white, or red, with brief information attached.
For example, Bai Ruoyue’s border was dark green, with the tag:
【Taibai Martial Hall Disciple - Bai Ruoyue - Viscera Refinement Stage】
Gao Yuan from the Gao family had a red border, clearly an enemy.
Meanwhile, an unfamiliar white-bordered avatar belonged to a cultivator at the Minor Meridian Stage, with a much more detailed description.
Han quickly grasped the functionality of God’s Perspective.
It was essentially a real-time map with identification features.
- Green meant allies.
- Red meant enemies.
- White likely indicated neutrals or strangers.
No way green could represent enemies—there was no world in which Senior Sister would be Han’s foe!
Damn.
Guys, I’ve got wallhacks.
However, after a brief assessment, Han realized that this cheat wouldn’t directly enhance his cultivation.
Unlike the Grand Immortal Tree, which provided him with resources, this only granted him a broader, higher-level view of his surroundings.
It could mark valuable resources, but Han wasn’t about to rob the Cloud Dragon Market vendors just because their goods were highlighted.
I’ll need to think carefully about how to make use of this one.
"Young Master Han?"
The Dragon Princess turned, softly calling out to Han, who had momentarily frozen.
"Apologies," Han said with a polite nod.
The Dragon Princess smiled. "There’s no need to be so formal, Young Master."
Han glanced at her avatar on the map—her border was light green, marked as:
【Daughter of the Cloud River Dragon Sovereign】
Above his own avatar, another presence loomed—a middle-aged man with the same light green border.
【Cloud River Dragon Sovereign】
…So the Dragon Sovereign had been watching him all along.
Yet neither the Dragon Princess nor the Dragon Sovereign seemed to notice God’s Perspective.
The Dragon Princess led Han into a private chamber, where the air was filled with the soft fragrance of incense. Tea had already been prepared in advance.
Once they were seated, she smiled gracefully.
“I had heard that Black Cloud Town had produced a peerless genius, but after meeting you in person, I realize the rumors understated your talent.”
“You flatter me,” Han replied modestly.
Reputation was just that—an illusion, nothing more.
“This is a bottle of Dragon Spirit Nectar, a small aid for martial cultivation. It’s a token of gratitude for your assistance—please don’t refuse.”
The Dragon Princess wasted no time, directly handing Han a jade bottle.
This must be the gift that the Shrimp and Crab Soldiers had mentioned.
“It’s not a particularly rare treasure—just the refined essence of a spiritual plant.”
Han took a closer look—
Wait.
Isn’t this just the "Dragon Blood" from earlier?
According to Yun Duo, this was incredibly rare, barely appearing in past banquets.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
His God’s Perspective also labeled the jade bottle:
【Dragon Spirit Nectar—Enhances Martial Cultivation】
Han noted another discovery: items inside storage bags did not appear on the map.
Because they exist in a separate dimension?
“You needn’t refuse, Young Master Han,” the Dragon Princess said with a light smile.
“This nectar is produced in large quantities each year within the Dragon Palace. It’s not particularly valuable.”
Hearing this, Han grinned and accepted it without hesitation.
No need for false modesty.
He had done the Cloud River Dragon Palace a favor, and they were rewarding him in return—a fair exchange.
Had he refused, they might’ve thought he was an easy mark.
As for whether this would “seal their friendship”…
True relationships were built on strength and talent, not token gifts.
“Your master is Hall Master Bai,” the Dragon Princess continued.
“I assume you’re aware of the situation within Black Mountain?”
Han nodded. “I know a bit.”
“The changes within Black Mountain have unsettled Black Cloud Town. But let me be clear—someone like you, Young Master Han, will always be welcome at Cloud River Dragon Palace.”
“If you ever need assistance, my father is more than capable of solving most problems for you.”
Han chuckled internally.
Was she trying to recruit him?
But Dragon Princess, if you want to persuade someone, shouldn’t you at least offer something tempting?
This invitation felt… insincere.
Where were the true incentives?
If you’re trying to win someone over, shouldn’t there be—
"Let’s leave future matters for the future," Han said with a polite smile, declining her offer.
Unlike when he first arrived in this world, he no longer felt the need to attach himself to a faction.
He now had options.
Interestingly, the Dragon Princess’s avatar did not change color after his refusal.
She held his gaze, understanding his stance, then placed a dragon-shaped jade token on the table.
“No matter what, if you ever require assistance, bring this token to Cloud Dragon Market, and I will help you.”
“A single token—surely you won’t refuse?”
Han took it without hesitation.
Accepting a lifeline came with no downside.
They exchanged a few more words, but there wasn’t much common ground between them.
By now, Han fully understood—
The Dragon Princess wasn’t recruiting him for his connections.
She was trying to poach him from his master.
Trying to lure him in.
She was interested in him personally.
Hah! Lusting after my body? Disgraceful!
A short while later, the Dragon Princess glanced at the night sky and spoke:
“It’s getting late. Young Master Han, why not stay at Cloud River Dragon Palace and rest for the night?”
“My master is expecting us back. I wouldn’t want to impose.”
“Next time, for sure.”
If I go to the Dragon Palace now, it’s like a sheep walking into a wolf’s den.
Who knows what might happen?
What if things escalate into imprisonment or binding scenarios?
The Dragon Princess sighed in disappointment but didn’t press further.
Instead, she excused herself and left.
Using God’s Perspective, Han noticed that she was meeting with others—Yun family members, Bai Ruoyue, and the rest of Taibai’s disciples—offering them gifts as well.
So this is a reward for those who performed well at the banquet?
When all was said and done, the Dragon Princess arranged for aquatic escorts to ferry the Taibai and Yun family disciples back to Black Cloud Town.
On the third floor of Cloud Dragon Pavilion, the Dragon Princess stood beside the towering figure of the Cloud River Dragon Sovereign.
“Father, I thought you would meet him personally.”
“If he were a slightly lesser talent, I would have,” the Dragon Sovereign replied with a smile.
“But he is too extraordinary. Even if I had spoken to him, it would have made no difference.”
“Would I win him over with a few treasures? A promise?”
“No—someone like him will not waver so easily.”
“The truly exceptional cannot be bought with simple gifts.”
Han: You say that, but you didn’t even try! Send me gifts! Corrupt me! How do you know I wouldn’t accept?!
The Dragon Princess clenched her fists.
“But his talent is undeniable! In a month, he has already reached the Meridian Stage, and his soul cultivation is just as impressive.”
“With the right backing, he could become a legend.”
“I know,” the Dragon Sovereign said. “But we can’t force him.”
“You’re too impatient.”
“…And if you truly want to recruit someone, at least offer them something worthwhile.”
“Junior Brother! What are you three doing out here?”
Bai Ruoyue suddenly popped her head out, staring at them.
“…”
Han glanced left and right.
No way to explain this, huh?
Senior Sister, just come out and join us. Then you’ll understand.
As the treasure ship glided downriver, Han’s God’s Perspective continued updating, revealing the changing landscape.
Cloud Dragon Market soon disappeared from the map.
It seemed this cheat had a limited range—it didn’t encompass the entire world.
With the aquatic escorts guiding the ship, they arrived in Black Cloud Town in no time.
Han followed the group back to Taibai Martial Hall first.
When Bai Tian appeared, Han took a quick look—good, dark green border.
【Taibai Hall Master - Bai Tian】
After hearing about Han’s performance at the banquet, Bai Tian was momentarily stunned—before breaking into hearty laughter.
A fine disciple! An outstanding disciple!
After leaving the martial hall, Han hesitated.
Should he go home?
Or head to Lu Qingmo’s place?
After all, it was already late at night…
Then again…
Wouldn’t that make it even better?
With that thought, Han immediately headed for the peach grove.
Lu Qingmo hadn’t retired for the night—or perhaps, at her level, she no longer needed sleep.
“Aunt Mo, I’m back!”
Still dark green—good.
【Xuandu Sect Disciple - Lu Qingmo】
Han noticed an interesting pattern in God’s Perspective.
Some people had detailed information displayed.
For instance, Shen Yu’s profile included her full title as Taibai’s Sixth Disciple, along with her exact cultivation level.
But for others, like Bai Tian and Lu Qingmo, the system only displayed a name and an affiliation.
So the level of detail depends on my own strength?
Thinking back to his past cheats, this made sense.
When he first got the Heavenly Bank, he was incredibly weak, so it only gave him small amounts of copper and silver coins.
But as his strength grew, the same cheat became more powerful.
Likewise, God’s Perspective probably had room for expansion as he advanced.
Of course…
There was also the possibility of pulling a completely useless cheat in the future.
For example, imagine that one day Han became invincible, only to unlock a cheat that allowed him to sleep only three hours a night while feeling fully rested.
Would that count as a cheat?
Yes, technically.
But would it be useful to an all-powerful cultivator?
…Not really.
I already don’t need sleep, and now you’re forcing me to sleep three hours a day?
This was precisely why the cheat revival system was so important.
It would prevent him from getting stuck with useless abilities.
Up ahead, Lu Qingmo watched Han, who was staring at her intensely without blinking.
A strange feeling crept up on her.
She subconsciously glanced down at herself—her black robes were neat, her appearance unchanged, nothing was amiss.
There was no problem with her.
Which meant…
The problem was with him.
