“What the fuck?!”

Caught completely off guard, Chairman Ao Tao staggered from the impact, his body touching the Chaos outside the world’s boundary. In an instant, his flesh was ground away!

Terrified out of his wits, he shot out his hands and forcibly caught the Little World that was collapsing toward him—or rather, toward the breach. The terrifying gravity of an entire world pressed down on the Grand Grade expert, causing blood to erupt from his body, but he somehow managed to hold on.

But…

The Little World was too heavy. Chairman Ao Tao could only struggle to bear its weight; lifting it back up was absolutely impossible. And if he let go, he would be smashed directly into the Chaos…

In other words, he was stuck.

“What the hell…” The Grand Grade expert fell into despair. He couldn’t keep holding it forever, but letting go was even more unthinkable…

‘Am I… am I really going to get stuck here and die???’

…

Watching the world begin to collapse, Ghost Valley Master and Lu Xuan were about to intervene and save it when they noticed the sinking Little World had stopped. Its collapse seemed to have halted.

“This is…” Ghost Valley Master was stunned. “Your sword strike clearly shattered the world’s barrier. How did the Little World only sink a tiny bit?”

Lu Xuan shrugged, clearly having no idea what was going on either. The two of them quickly put the matter aside.

Lu Xuan asked, still reeling with suspicion and surprise, “So, Senior Brother Zhang, you successfully reincarnated and even attained a Great Virtue Body… and then you were trapped here for over a hundred thousand years??”

“Don’t even talk about it.” Ghost Valley Master was too weary to even complain properly. “Everything was going fine, then I was suddenly thrown in here by two sons of bitches, and this place broke off from the Great Heaven and Earth to become a Little World…”

“Why didn’t you leave? With a Great Virtue Body, it should have been easy for you to go back, right?” Lu Xuan asked, puzzled.

But Ghost Valley Master just gave a wry smile and said, “Although I fell in here, it was a blessing in disguise. I obtained a Supreme Treasure and used it to redefine the ‘Dharma’ of this Little World, basing it on the Hundred Schools of Thought… I was planning to leave after all that, but…”

He let out a long sigh.

“But then I discovered that this world is extremely unstable. If I were to leave, there would be no one to control the world’s origin source with that Supreme Treasure, and the world would likely collapse. Plus, you need to be at least a Great Sage to act as the Spirit Binder for that Supreme Treasure, so…”

“So, you’ve stayed here for a hundred thousand years?” Lu Xuan sighed softly. “That’s just like you… But in a hundred thousand Years, has this Little World not produced a new Great Sage?”

“It’s impossible for one to be born here.”

Ghost Valley Master—or rather, Zhang Ling—shook his head with a wry smile. “After all, this is just a Little Heaven and Earth, a Little World. It can’t nurture a Great Sage. My lifespan actually ran out long ago, but I didn’t dare enter Reincarnation. I could only stay here and act as the Celestial Dao, overseeing the order of this world…”

He paused, then sighed sorrowfully. “Besides, my master had me reincarnate three times during the Spring and Autumn Period to face three tribulations. But this was only my First life, and the Spring and Autumn Period is already long past. I can no longer fulfill my master’s request.”

Lu Xuan’s brow furrowed tightly.

“Senior Brother, who on earth threw you in here in the first place?”

“It pisses me off just thinking about it!”

Zhang Ling gritted his teeth. “It was two Immortal Gods whose names I’d never heard before. But they were absurdly powerful. They threw me in here for no reason at all, and I’ve been forced to be the Celestial Dao for over a hundred thousand years!”

“Senior Brother, what were their names?” Lu Xuan’s voice turned cold.

Zhang Ling said indignantly, “I ran into those two Immortal Gods back in the Chu Region. One of them called himself something like Chu Tai. I don’t know what wire got crossed in his head; I didn’t even provoke them… But that Supreme Treasure, the one that can set the rules of a world, he’s the one who threw it to me… How strange!”

Lu Xuan froze.

‘Chu Tai… Grandpa Chu??’

‘Is it just the same name?’

Zhang Ling continued his rant, “As for the other one, he called himself something like the Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow. He wore a mask. He was the one who threw me in here, and he even slapped me in the process… Son of a bitch!”

Lu Xuan’s expression froze again. ‘Who?’

‘Profound Yellow??’

Looking at the indignant Senior Brother Zhang, he shrank back guiltily.
