Chapter 1131: Spatial Stillness

Fang Mingsu also knew that if they wanted to escape Bride Island, they had to defeat that woman. Otherwise, even if they killed all the dimensional creatures here, there was no chance of survival.

Back then, Human Sovereign could defeat the Calamity-grade powerhouse, Di Tian. Brother-in-law can do the same. Ji Moqing secretly prayed for Fang Mingsu.

However, when she thought that Fang Mingsu was actually a woman, Ji Moqing's expression became complicated.

How could Fang Mingsu not want to defy the heavens and change her fate like Human Sovereign did and defeat a Calamity-grade dimensional creature? Furthermore, she had to do it, or death was the only outcome.

When the woman looked at the flames and Fang Mingsu, her eyes remained unchanged.

The phoenix flames on Fang Mingsu's body grew stronger and stronger. The flames on her back engulfed the world like a pair of phoenix wings that covered the sky. As Fang Mingsu threw a punch, the phoenix flames that filled the sky also cascaded down like a waterfall.

When the phoenix flames arrived in front of her, the woman finally moved again. The pitch-black saber in her arms was unsheathed once more as a beam of moonlight flashed.

The phoenix flames that filled the sky were instantly shattered, and Fang Mingsu's armor was slashed apart again.

However, the injured Fang Mingsu didn't fall again. The phoenix flames on her body rapidly healed her shattered armor. The wings on her back spread out and she attacked the woman from another direction.

Ji Moqing's heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, unable to settle down as the situation developed.

However, when she saw the woman slash at Fang Mingsu again, and how she had recovered each time, Ji Moqing's hope was gradually ignited.

He can do it; he definitely can do it. If Human Sovereign can defeat Di Tian, Brother-in-law can definitely defeat this Calamity-grade creature... Ji Moqing thought excitedly.

However, just as she had this thought, she suddenly saw an unbelievable scene.

When Fang Mingsu attacked the woman again, the woman didn't continue drawing her saber. However, the pupils in her eyes were like the moon, constantly evolving into crescent moons hidden behind dark clouds.

In the next moment, something unbelievable happened. Everything around them seemed to freeze.

The rising flames turned still. Fang Mingsu, who was flying in the air, was also frozen in place. Ji Moqing, who had her mouth agape in shock, maintained that posture the entire time. She couldn't even move her eyes.

The whole of Bride Island seemed to become a painting, including the other dimensional creatures. Everything became still as though it was a lifeless painting.

Only the woman was alive and could walk in the painting.

She walked to Fang Mingsu's side, who was covered in flames. She extended her finger and pinched the frozen phoenix flames. With a casual rip, the motionless phoenix flames were torn off and thrown to the side by the woman.

The woman moved her fingers again, and the phoenix flames around Fang Mingsu's body were completely torn apart. Then, there was her Guardian armor, her clothes, and finally...

Everyone remained conscious and they could see everything, but for some reason, their bodies couldn't move.

Ji Moqing watched helplessly as Fang Mingsu's armor was torn off. She was already in despair.

Fang Mingsu was very strong, but she had borrowed the power of the Guardian armor. Now, even the Guardian armor had been casually torn off by the woman and thrown to the ground like trash. One could imagine Fang Mingsu's outcome.

Fang Mingsu was very calm. She knew that she no longer had a chance. She felt somewhat relieved. "I should have died more than twenty years ago. To be able to live for another twenty more years is already a blessing from the heavens."

Fang Mingsu wanted to close her eyes and wait for death to descend, but in the Calamity domain, she didn't even have the ability to close her eyes.

The woman's finger reached out to Fang Mingsu again. Now, there was nothing left on Fang Mingsu's body. If she continued tearing, the only thing that could be torn off was her flesh.

Suddenly, a strange force spread out on the picturesque Bride Island like layers of ripples.

The woman's fingers paused for a moment. She didn't extend her hand towards Fang Mingsu as she turned to look at the center of the ripples.

Fang Mingsu and Ji Moqing happened to be facing that direction—they saw that in the middle of the ripples was Zhou Wen, who was standing far away.

Ripples spread out from Zhou Wen's body as though space had turned into water.

In this motionless space, Zhou Wen's fingers moved slightly. Every movement of his fingers caused a ripple in space.

As his fingers moved faster and faster, the range and fluctuations of the ripples increased.

In the end, it wasn't just his fingers. Zhou Wen's arms, body, and legs gradually moved as though a character in a painting was gradually gaining life.

It only took a few seconds from the initial clumsy movements to the gradual freedom of movement.

How... How is that possible... Fang Mingsu looked at Zhou Wen as though she had seen a ghost.

Her Guardian, Nirvana, was already at the Terror grade, and it could be considered a top-notch existence among Terror-grade creatures. However, it still couldn't resist the woman's Calamity Domain.

However, Zhou Wen didn't have any Guardian armor on him. Nor could she sense the aura of a dimensional creature, much less any signs of fusing with a Guardian.

No matter how she looked at it, his body was purely human. However, Fang Mingsu had no way of believing that he was really a human.

There was still no precedent to date, of any human relying on their own strength to advance to the Mythical stage when it came to human evolution on Earth.

Ignoring the Terror grade, there wasn't a single pure human among the known Mythical humans. They either relied on Guardians to advance to the Mythical stage or used Mythical Serum.

Now, to suddenly be informed that a human could rely on his own strength to resist the Calamity Domain, Fang Mingxiu found it unbelievable.

Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she still found it unreal.

However, things were slowly happening in front of her. In the Calamity Domain where even the Terror-grade Nirvana couldn't move, Zhou Wen had completely regained his freedom. However, his actions looked extremely slow, as though he was walking in the deep sea.

On his finger that could move at first, a clown ring was emitting intense spatial fluctuations.

Crack!

The ring shattered as the clown ring's surface slowly rose. As it rose, it constantly expanded and finally transformed into a clown mask that covered Zhou Wen's face.

The moment the clown mask completely fused with Zhou Wen's face, his body became extremely relaxed as though he had returned to the land from the deep sea.

The Calamity Domain with spatial powers was unable to restrain his body or affect his actions.

The clown mask wore a smile. It was evil, crazy, bloodthirsty, and filled with hope.

Chapter 1132: He's Human Sovereign?

Zhou Wen felt the power of Godfiend Era spread through his body as the clown symbol on the Wheel of Destiny became clearer. Through the clown mask, the world he could see was somewhat different.

The woman glanced at Zhou Wen and waved her hand. She wanted to tear Fang Mingsu's body apart.

With a thought, Zhou Wen teleported in front of the woman and reached out for her face.

The woman stretched out her hand to block Zhou Wen. She was much faster than him, but when her hand touched his hand, it hit nothing. Zhou Wen vanished in front of her eyes.

The woman seemed to realize something. When she turned her head, she realized that Fang Mingsu had vanished.

When she turned around, she realized that Shiraishi Satomi and Ji Moqing had also disappeared.

On Fangzhang Island, Fang Mingsu and Shiraishi Satomi stood by the coast. Zhou Wen's figure appeared again as he threw Ji Moqing to the ground.

After Godfiend Era's Terror transformation, Zhou Wen's understanding of space had broken through to an extremely high realm. The spatial rifts on Bride Island couldn't trap him anymore.

In the blink of an eye, not only did his teleportation range greatly increase, but there were almost no restrictions. He could continuously teleport without limit.

"Everyone, run for your lives. I need to escape as well." With that said, Zhou Wen teleported away, not daring to stay for a moment.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take Shiraishi Satomi back to Fuji Island, but the Calamity creature was also a spatial-type creature. If she could teleport from afar, taking Shiraishi Satomi back to Fuji Island would be equivalent to bringing destruction to it if she were to track him down.

Therefore, Zhou Wen had taken them to the uninhabited Fangzhang Island before letting them leave by themselves. When that happened, even if the Calamity creature chased after them, she would only track Zhou Wen himself.

"Take us with you!" Ji Moqing shouted twice, but no one answered her.

"He doesn't need to escape," Fang Mingsu with her restored Guardian-armored said thoughtfully as she looked at the spot where Zhou Wen had vanished.

"No need to escape? Why? Didn't he already escape?" Ji Moqing asked in puzzlement.

Although Zhou Wen could save them and was indeed very powerful, a Calamity-grade creature was a Calamity-grade creature. Even if humans could escape one, it was difficult for them to fight one.

"Because he's Human Sovereign, sovereign of all humans. He's an existence that has slain a Calamity. There's no need for him to escape," Fang Mingsu said with certainty.

"He's Human Sovereign? Impossible. Isn't he an overseas devil? How can he be Human Sovereign?" Ji Moqing was momentarily unable to digest the information Fang Mingsu had given her as she spoke incoherently.

Fang Mingsu glanced at Shiraishi Satomi and continued, "I've been paying attention to him. Earlier on, I saw him take out a white wooden stick. It's identical to the white wooden stick that Human Sovereign used when he fought Di Tian. I thought it was just a resemblance, but from the looks of it, it's not just that. It's the same wooden stick."

"He's Human Sovereign?" Ji Moqing repeated what she had said in a daze. She really couldn't connect the great devil with Human Sovereign that quickly.

"It can't be wrong. I originally thought that the claim that Human Sovereign was pure human was nothing more than humanity's self-consolation. It's impossible for such a thing to happen. Now, it looks like I was wrong. Human Sovereign is actually a pure human. It's hard to imagine how he did it. A pure human advancing to the Mythical stage can actually be done. Furthermore, he did so five years ago." Fang Mingsu looked at Shiraishi Satomi as though she wanted to hear what she had to say.

Unfortunately, Shiraishi Satomi didn't know anything. She was still awash with adrenaline and had nothing to say.

"He's Human Sovereign... Then he's going..." Ji Moqing's mind cleared up as she thought of a possibility.

"That's right. He must have gone to kill that Calamity creature to prevent her from bringing disaster to the human world." Fang Mingsu sighed and said, "Over the years, I thought I had done very well. I could be considered somewhat accomplished among humans, but compared to Human Sovereign, I'm nothing. I really never expected Human Sovereign to be a pure-blooded human, and he's so young."

"Isn't he an old monster who has some way to retain his youth?" Ji Moqing had always felt that Zhou Wen only looked young, but was actually an old man in person. Otherwise, how could he have such a powerful cultivation level?

"Of course not. My Nirvana Guardian is most sensitive to vital energies. Although he looks very accomplished—something expected from age—he is still a very young life. He's actually not that old. He's only in his early twenties," Fang Mingsu said after some thought.

"In his early twenties... That's impossible... How old was he when he defeated Di Tian five years ago?" Ji Moqing thought about it carefully and felt that what Fang Mingsu said was too fantastic. It didn't make sense at all.

"Although I'm equally unwilling to believe it, the truth is right in front of us. When he defeated Di Tian, he was probably not even twenty years old," Fang Mingsu said with a sigh.

She originally believed that she was already considered a top genius among humans, but after seeing Zhou Wen, she realized that so-called geniuses were nothing.

"Less than twenty years old... Is there really such a human in this world? Is he really Human Sovereign?" Ji Moqing looked out into the sea with a complicated expression.

"It's very simple to know if he's Human Sovereign. When a Calamity appears, it will definitely bring calamity to the world. Only Human Sovereign can kill a Calamity to stop the disaster," Fang Mingsu said.

Ji Moqing's eyes immediately lit up. "As long as we don't see the appearance of a Calamity, it means it must have been killed. In other words, he's really Human Sovereign?"

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. He's definitely Human Sovereign. Apart from Human Sovereign, who else can advance to the Mythical stage as a human? Who else can fight a Calamity-grade creature?" Fang Mingsu had already determined that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign.

If Zhou Wen knew that the three of them had seen through his identity and believed that he would kill the Calamity creature, he would probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was really fleeing for his life. Godfiend Era's Terror transformation was indeed very strong. Coupled with Slaughterer, he was capable of infinite teleportation. Even a Calamity-grade creature would find it difficult to kill him, but it was probably not a realistic thought that he could defeat a Calamity-grade creature.

Zhou Wen constantly teleported, hoping to escape back to the mainland. After a few teleportations, he was still out at sea when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was none other than the newly born Calamity creature.

She still looked the same. She had long silver hair and white clothes. In her arms was a pitch-black saber. There was no emotion in her eyes.

She still managed to catch up? Can't you leave Earth? Why are you chasing me? Zhou Wen grumbled inwardly as he used teleportation to escape again.

However, after a few teleportations, he still failed to shake off the Calamity creature.

The woman seemed to be attempting to use spatial powers to control him, but the Terror-form Clown Mask gave Zhou Wen spatial powers that allowed him to ignore the spatial seal. He couldn't escape, but the woman couldn't control him either.

Zhou Wen wanted to continue teleporting when he suddenly heard the woman speak.

"Marry me and I won't kill you," the woman said in all seriousness as she looked at Zhou Wen.

Chapter 1133: Let's Get Married

Zhou Wen was dumbfounded, unsure what was going on.

He had never been confessed to in his life, much less by a dimensional creature, even less a Calamity-grade dimensional creature.

Although the woman looked beautiful and had a strange charm that humans didn't possess, Zhou Wen was a more traditional human. He found it unacceptable to have a love that transcended species.

"We don't seem to be creatures of the same species, right?" Zhou Wen gave a measured response. He didn't dare reject her too directly, afraid that he would anger this terrifying Calamity-grade existence.

If she flew into a rage out of humiliation and completely unleashed her Calamity-grade strength, even if Zhou Wen could escape through teleportation, a large area would probably be affected by the calamity.

"Will you marry me or not?" The woman was much more straightforward than Zhou Wen. She pulled out the crescent-like saber in her arms and pointed it at Zhou Wen. It was as though she would chop off his head if he said no.

Zhou Wen hated being threatened, so he immediately teleported again. At most, he could use the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to escape to other planets and return after the woman left Earth.

In the past, Zhou Wen hadn't advanced to the Mythical stage, so his physique hadn't been enough for him to survive in space. Now, with his Mythical body, as long as he didn't encounter overly terrifying energy eruptions or radiation, surviving for a period of time wasn't a problem.

After teleporting out, Zhou Wen's expression suddenly changed. He found himself in front of the woman again. He had failed to appear where he wanted to go.

With the augmentation of Clown Mask, Zhou Wen saw that the surrounding space had become extremely strange. The sea and sky formed a line, intersecting and distorting the location of the moon. It transformed the nearby area into an independent space that resembled a Möbius loop.

This spatial connection was completely severed from the outside world. No matter how Zhou Wen teleported, he was still in this space and couldn't leave.

Only then did Zhou Wen realize that this Calamity-grade woman was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Are you marrying me or not?" the woman continued pointing her saber at Zhou Wen as she asked expressionlessly.

"Ahem, why do you want me to marry you?" Zhou Wen felt that one shouldn't be too hot-tempered. It was best to reason and negotiate.

The woman didn't answer Zhou Wen's question. She still pointed her saber at him and stared straight at him. Clearly, she only wanted an answer and didn't wish to answer the question.

Seeing that the woman didn't take action directly, Zhou Wen continued, "Legend has it that the bride on Bride Island married three brothers, but all three brothers died. Don't tell me you are that legendary bride?"

The woman finally spoke. "How can the place where I live be a place where mortals live?"

Although the woman didn't say if she was the bride, she had indirectly admitted that the myth did exist. The deaths of the three brothers were related to her.

"I'm also a mortal. Don't tell me you want to marry me before killing me?" Zhou Wen asked again.

"No," the woman answered with certainty.

"Why?" Zhou Wen pressed.

"Are you marrying me or not?" The woman clearly didn't wish to answer this question as she once again forced Zhou Wen to give an answer.

"Since you wish to marry a human, you should at least follow human rules, right?" Zhou Wen wanted to stall for time to see if he could find a way to escape.

"We can get married immediately by doing the rites." The woman clearly knew some human rules, but the rules she knew seemed to be ancient.

"Those are rules from the past. Things these days are different." As Zhou Wen spoke, he attempted to use the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art to escape, but it was useless. The stars in the pocket universe were dim. In this strange space, it was clearly impossible to use interstellar teleportation.

"Oh, what are the rules now?" the woman asked with a frown.

"Rules these days talk about free love. If you want to get married, you have to fall in love with the other party first," Zhou Wen said as he stalled for time.

The woman seemed to understand Zhou Wen's words as she sheathed her saber.

Zhou Wen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, believing that he had finally convinced the woman. All he needed to do was find an excuse to escape from her.

However, to his surprise, after she sheathed her sword, the woman began to take off her clothes and walk towards Zhou Wen.

"What are you doing..." Zhou Wen was alarmed.

"Isn't the so-called love of humans just lust? You said that you can only marry if you fall in love with the other party. I can do it now," the woman said as she continued walking towards Zhou Wen.

"Stop. Who did you hear that from? It's not like that at all." Zhou Wen retreated as he called for a stop.

"What is it then?" the woman stopped and asked Zhou Wen.

"That's... That's..." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and couldn't think of something. All he could do was say what he could think of. "It's just that the two of them need to understand each other and see if their personalities are compatible or if their thoughts are compatible..."

"Humans are still as hypocritical as ever," the woman said with a frown. After a pause, she continued, "Then let's get to understand each other. We shall get married after understanding each other. How do you want to understand me?"

Zhou Wen looked at the woman in a daze, momentarily at a loss for words.

Understand? What the hell? Zhou Wen had no intention of dating a dimensional creature.

Ignoring dimensional creatures, even if a living person stood in front of Zhou Wen, he wouldn't know how to date her, much less a terrifying Calamity-grade creature.

"That... That... Why don't we watch a movie first..." Zhou Wen recalled that Li Xuan had once said that if he felt bored dating girls, he would take them to the movies. He had at least an hour and a half to relax or sleep.

Zhou Wen felt that this wasn't a bad idea. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to think of a way to escape this woman's clutches.

"What's a movie?" the woman asked with a frown.

Zhou Wen roughly explained what a movie was. The woman nodded. "Alright, let's watch a movie."

"Going to a movie is a very pleasant thing. If we end up covered in blood, it will affect our mood. Shouldn't we restrain ourselves a little..." Zhou Wen was already beginning to regret taking a Calamity creature to a human city to catch a movie. Zhou Wen felt that this idea was too stupid. He didn't know what was wrong with him to come up with such a stupid idea.

"It's inauspicious to get married when there's death. I understand," the woman said calmly.

"I still don't know your name?" Zhou Wen asked after some thought.

"Tsukuyomi," the woman answered.

Chapter 1134: Movie Etiquette

Translator: CKtalon

Zhou Wen was slightly alarmed when he heard the name. He couldn't help but carefully size up the woman.

When he had learned about the Ghost Parade previously, Zhou Wen had learned a little about the overseas myths. Although it wasn't very detailed, Zhou Wen still knew a famous Mythical figure like Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi was one of the three Supreme Gods of a certain pantheon overseas. Legend had it that she was one of the three children of the Creator. She was a twin of one of the other three Supreme Gods, Amaterasu.

However, in some other myths and legends, there were also some which said that Tsukuyomi was male. There were also some which said that Tsukuyomi and the beautiful Kaguyahime were the same person.

None of that was important. What was important was that if this woman was really the legendary Tsukuyomi, her status would be second only to the Creator.

Myths could be exaggerated, but to have such a status in a pantheon, no matter how exaggerated, meant that her true strength had to be extremely terrifying.

Watching a movie with the daughter of the Creator? Zhou Wen felt that this was a bad idea.

Fang Mingsu and company waited on Fangzhang Island for a few days, but they didn't see Zhou Wen return. The Ghost Parade that appeared every night also decreased significantly.

Furthermore, the famous ghosts didn't appear again. The ones that appeared again were ghosts with unknown names. The strongest ones were at the Mythical stage.

After the trio obtained further information, they became more certain that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign. They imagined that the Calamity creature had been killed by Zhou Wen.

"I never expected him to really be Human Sovereign. Furthermore, he's so young." Ji Moqing still found it unbelievable that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign.

Fang Mingsu took Ji Moqing back inland and secretly investigated Zhou Wen's identity.

He realized that Human Sovereign's appearance was very similar to Zhou Wen from the An family camp. However, the An family's Zhou Wen had been in Luoyang the past few days and hadn't left. It was unlikely.

After Shiraishi Satomi returned, she told Sei Gasakai that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign. It thrilled Sei Gasakai. "It's no wonder. He was Human Sovereign all along. It's no wonder. I should have known. Apart from him, how can there be a human who can slash out such a strike... By the way... You should keep this to yourself... Don't spread it..."

...

To humans nowadays, watching movies was a luxury.

With dimensional creatures breaking through the restrictions on a large scale, there were very few cities that humans could defend. Most humans retreated to a particular dimensional zone and relied on the repulsive forces of the dimensional zones to barely survive.

All sorts of modern instruments and tools had been severely damaged. Furthermore, due to the cut-off of roads, raw materials couldn't be supplied. Even if the factories weren't destroyed, the possibility of continuing production wasn't high.

In such an environment, other than the Federation occasionally shooting some promotional videos, it was very rare for a person to film a movie.

More and more research was done using Companion Beasts to replace high-tech equipment. Most of the areas where humans gathered had already been popularized with Companion Beast power generation systems.

However, human hobbies sometimes had nothing to do with practicality.

The infamous overseas devil, Sasser, was an avid movie enthusiast. Furthermore, he was someone who had to go to the cinema to watch movies.

However, in this era, cinemas were very difficult to find. There were none overseas. Therefore, every time Sasser's movie addiction flared up, he would sneak inland.

Although Sasser wasn't as infamous as Jing Daoxian, people who knew him definitely had a fear of him that was no less than Jing Daoxian's.

Although Jing Daoxian was infamous, not many people had seen him kill.

Apart from the crazy massacre at the Federation building, many of the brutal legends regarding Jing Daoxian were actually just people committing acts under his name.

However, Sasser was different. Sasser wasn't famous, but the number of people he killed far exceeded Jing Daoxian's. Furthermore, he didn't leave any survivors, so very few people knew of him.

After putting on a decent suit, a white shirt, and a bow tie, Sasser, who had meticulously combed his white hair, arrived at the cinema's entrance. He lined up to buy a ticket, coke, and a bucket of popcorn. Then, as though he was on a pilgrimage, he walked into the cinema's theater hall.

These habits stemmed from when Sasser was young. Back then, when his parents took him to the movies, they would always dress him up nicely. Then, they would buy coke and popcorn and catch a movie together.

Therefore, this habit remained.

Sasser found his seat and sat down. He sat up straight and sized up the movie screen. Just as he had imagined, this spot was indeed the best spot in the theater. Thankfully, it hadn't been bought by others. Otherwise, he would have spent more time thinking of a way to adjust his seat.

It was a rather nice cinema. The fragrant popcorn that was still emitting steam, the iced coke, and the perfect seat made Sasser feel good. He adjusted his bow tie and waited for the movie to begin.

Suddenly, a young man and woman walked in. The spot they had chosen happened to be in the row just in front of Sasser. This made Sasser frown slightly.

He recalled an unhappy experience he had when he watched a movie previously. A couple sat in front of him and whispered to each other from time to time. They even kissed in front of him, greatly affecting his movie experience.

As a result, Sasser sewed the couple's mouths together and hung them to death at the entrance of the theater after the movie ended.

Why did he have to wait for the movie to end? Movie time was sacred, so how could he kill someone during the movie?

Thankfully, the young men and women who had just entered were very silent. They didn't talk to each other, making Sasser feel much better.

From the looks of it, this should be a perfect movie experience today. Sasser sat up straight and waited for the movie to begin. Although this movie was an old movie and Sasser had watched it a few times, he still liked it. He wouldn't get sick of watching it a few more times.

After a while, Sasser suddenly heard the young man in front speak.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?"

When Sasser heard that, he was immediately infuriated as he thought to himself, What's wrong with young people these days? They don't understand the essence of watching movies at all. You have to buy iced coke and popcorn before entering. How can you buy them after entering the hall?

"Anything," the woman said coldly.

"Wait for me here. Don't move. I'll be back soon." As the youth spoke, he left, leaving the young woman sitting in front.

The young woman was very quiet, and she was still. This made Sasser appreciate her.

He still remembered that two months ago, when he went to watch a movie, a young woman was eating melon seeds while watching a movie. She kept fidgeting around. Hence, after the movie ended, Sasser shattered all the woman's teeth and stuffed them into her stomach before hanging her to death at the entrance of the theater.

"Orange juice and melon seeds. Try them." The man returned with two large cups of orange juice and a huge bag of melon seeds.

You have to drink coke and eat popcorn when watching a movie. Don't you even know that? Sasser wished he could snatch the melon seeds and orange juice and smash them at the young man's face.

However, years of movie-watching cultivation made Sasser endure it. However, he was already planning how to teach the young man some movie-watching etiquette after the movie ended.

Chapter 1135: Boring Movie

Translator: CKtalon

Speaking of which, Zhou Wen felt wronged. If you were to ask him how to kill dimensional creatures or which dimensional zones had which taboo, he might know something about that.

However, Zhou Wen really didn't know what taboos to look out for when watching movies at a cinema. His knowledge of movie theaters basically came from Li Xuan's descriptions, so how could he know much?

Li Xuan was only focused on showing off and bragging. He wouldn't talk about the trivialities. He only talked about how he was popular with girls and how they threw themselves at him.

After passing the melon seeds and orange juice to Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to eat snacks, so he sat there resting with his eyes closed. In fact, he was thinking about how to get rid of Tsukuyomi.

Previously, after Tsukuyomi dispelled the Calamity domain, Zhou Wen had thought of escaping, but he ultimately gave up.

The main reason was that Tsukuyomi had spatial abilities. Now, Tsukuyomi had no intention of killing him. If he failed to escape and she caught him, it would probably be a situation of fighting to the death.

Furthermore, if Tsukuyomi really went berserk and the Ghost Parade erupted, too many innocent people would suffer.

If he could peacefully send Tsukuyomi away, Zhou Wen would be very happy to give it a try.

I heard from Sei Gasakai that most Calamity creatures leave Earth not long after they are born. A small portion of them vanished. No one saw where they went, but they basically never appeared on Earth again. They probably left Earth as well. Although I don't know why Calamity creatures leave Earth, there must be some restrictions. I wonder if Tsukuyomi will be affected by this restriction? If she will be affected as well, I just need to wait until she has to leave before I call it a win, right? Zhou Wen thought to himself.

However, stalling for time was one thing. It was impossible to make Zhou Wen sacrifice himself—sexually.

As Zhou Wen was thinking about how to stall for time, Sasser, who was behind him, had a sullen expression and twitching eyes. He had the urge to murder.

Zhou Wen didn't know the etiquette of the cinema, much less Tsukuyomi, a dimensional creature. Although she had already transformed into a human and wore human clothes, she was still a dimensional creature.

Zhou Wen was thinking while Tsukuyomi was munching on melon seeds. Although the munching sounds weren't loud, it made Sasser feel uneasy.

"Young lady, you can't eat melon seeds during a movie. This is basic etiquette." Before the movie began, Sasser decided to remind them.

However, Tsukuyomi ignored him. This was because in Tsukuyomi's eyes, other than Zhou Wen, no other humans mattered. They were lifeforms that were inferior to ants. There was no need to care about their feelings.

Zhou Wen turned his head to look at Sasser and saw that it was an old man with a head full of white hair. He apologized before saying to Tsukuyomi, "Don't eat melon seeds when watching the movie later."

Tsukuyomi nodded slightly before putting the melon seeds aside and stopping eating.

Seeing that their attitude wasn't bad, Sasser's mood improved slightly. Since the movie hasn't started, I'll spare you for now.

Soon, the movie began. It was an old movie called The Prestige.

In fact, in recent years, all the movies that were shown in theaters were basically old movies. It wasn't just because of nostalgia, but mainly because there were very few new movies being filmed.

Sasser knew all the details of The Prestige like the back of his hand, but he was still very engrossed every time he watched it.

The movie began. That's when Sasser picked up his coke and popcorn and enjoyed the classic that delighted him.

However, not long after, he suddenly saw Tsukuyomi in front of him stand up and say to Zhou Wen, "Watching boring movies here is a waste of time. Let's go."

With that said, Tsukuyomi turned around and walked towards the exit.

Zhou Wen was delighted when he heard that. He stood up and followed Tsukuyomi.

A creature at Tsukuyomi's level had almost infinite life. By saying that it was a waste of time, it was very likely because of some restriction she was under. Time had an extraordinary meaning to her.

This made Zhou Wen feel that his previous guess was right. Tsukuyomi had no choice but to leave Earth after a certain period of time. This was very beneficial for him.

Zhou Wen was delighted, but Sasser was about to explode from anger.

Boring movie... A waste of time... Sasser's gaze became abnormally terrifying. It's already unforgivable to leave early in front of such a great movie, yet you still dare...

Sasser slowly stood up. Having watched movies for so many years, this was one of the few times he had left early.

"You don't like this movie? We can switch to another one," Zhou Wen said as he walked alongside Tsukuyomi.

"I don't like such boring movies," Tsukuyomi said.

"Then what do you like?" Zhou Wen asked.

Tsukuyomi lowered her head and thought for a moment. After a while, she said, "I don't know. Anyway, I don't like watching movies."

As the two of them spoke, they had already reached the entrance of the theater.

Sasser followed. Upon hearing Tsukuyomi's words, the killing intent in his heart burned even more. Standing on the steps, his body produced a faint energy fluctuation.

You actually dare belittle a movie? Then I'll let you have a taste of being killed by a movie. Sasser's eyes were cold as his strength secretly condensed into a camera in his hand. He pressed the shutter button as the camera aimed at Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen.

In the next second, Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi, who had just walked down the steps of the cinema, suddenly realized that their surroundings had changed drastically.

The streets had vanished, and the entire city seemed to suddenly vanish. It was supposed to be nighttime, but the sun was shining brightly here. In front of them was a blue sea, blue sky, and a beautiful huge ship.

Blue sea, blue sky, seagulls flying.

The two of them were standing on the cruise ship. A breeze blew past them, making them feel very comfortable.

Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised as he circulated his Essence Energy Art, but he realized that he couldn't use it.

Not only was he unable to use Essence Energy Arts, but he couldn't even summon Companion Beasts. He seemed to have become an ordinary person.

"Can you use your strength?" Zhou Wen asked Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi shook her head slightly and said, "No."

Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly. If even Tsukuyomi couldn't use her powers, things had likely turned very troublesome.

Could it be that the monarchs of the dimension discovered that I wasn't dead and wanted to kill me across dimensions? Otherwise, who would have the ability to trap Tsukuyomi? Zhou Wen was alarmed as he constantly switched Essence Energy Arts, hoping that something would be of use.

Soon, when Zhou Wen circulated the Dao Sutra, the Essence Energy that hadn't reacted finally reacted. But it still couldn't circulate.

However, this already delighted Zhou Wen. At critical moments, I still need to rely on the Dao Sutra. From the looks of it, we have been pulled into a domain limited by certain rules. If the Dao Sutra advances further, I might be able to break through. I wonder if my opponent will give me the time.

Zhou Wen looked around. He didn't have the ability to resist now. It was too easy for the enemy to kill him. However, all he could see were ordinary humans.

No, it shouldn't be said that they were ordinary humans. The humans here were much weaker than ordinary humans. They seemed to be humans who had never cultivated.

Chapter 1136: Sea Disaster

Translator: CKtalon

Boom!

Just as Zhou Wen was looking around, he suddenly felt a violent quake beneath his feet. Then, he heard a loud crashing sound before an ear-piercing screech.

Before he could figure out what had happened, the ship's massive body began to tilt to the side. At the same time, there was a muffled explosion.

An iceberg appeared out of nowhere, slamming into the deck. The shattered ice struck people, leaving many bleeding.

Cries and screams intertwined as the ship's side tipped even more. Many people slid and fell. An explosion happened somewhere nearby as a heatwave surged over, sending Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi flying.

Zhou Wen had no idea where in hell he was. Not only was he unable to use Essence Energy Skills and various other abilities, but even his body had become extremely weak as though he had never cultivated.

Thankfully, although his strength and abilities were unusable, his technique and reaction remained. When Zhou Wen tumbled down, he grabbed the railing and prevented himself from falling into the sea.

Previously, Zhou Wen had doubted if Tsukuyomi could use her powers, but he quickly realized that she couldn't. She grabbed a metal column that was taller than Zhou Wen, but the cabin beside her suddenly exploded. The fragments smashed into Tsukuyomi's head, immediately causing her to bleed. She seemed to show signs of fainting as she fell and rolled down the deck, about to fall into the sea.

The temperature of the seawater was already below zero degrees Celsius. In the past, Zhou Wen could shower in such low temperatures, but now, his body was like an ordinary person's. If he fell, it wouldn't be long before all the heat in his body was sucked away by the seawater. When that happened, only death awaited him.

Zhou Wen subconsciously reached out to grab the half-conscious Tsukuyomi and pulled her over.

Although this was a good opportunity to kill Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen felt that it was likely that the dimensional monarchs were targeting him. Tsukuyomi was suffering an undeserved catastrophe.

The enemy of an enemy was a friend. Perhaps saving Tsukuyomi today would give the dimension another Calamity-grade enemy in the future.

After all, Tsukuyomi was a natural Calamity creature born on Earth. It was somewhat different from the monarchs of the dimension.

"How are you?" Zhou Wen realized that the wound on Tsukuyomi's forehead was very deep. It was a result of a few metal fragments stabbing into her and she was constantly bleeding. From the looks of it, the situation wasn't good.

Tsukuyomi opened her mouth but didn't make a sound. Her eyes had already lost their focus and she was on the brink of unconsciousness.

Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and pulled Tsukuyomi along the deck, hoping to find something that could be used as a lifeboat, even if it was just a floating plank.

Once the ship sank, ordinary humans wouldn't be able to last long in the icy-water sludge. They had to leave the sea to have a chance of survival.

However, there were people running for their lives everywhere. Some people jumped into the sea disregarding anything, hoping to leave the ship as soon as possible to prevent themselves from being pulled into the sea by the suction force produced when the ship sank. From Zhou Wen's point of view, it was no different from having a death wish.

Some people also found lifeboats before jumping into the sea and then using these tools to escape.

However, there were too many people who were escaping. In order to survive, many people tried their best to climb into the lifeboats near them. This resulted in overcapacity—the lifeboats capsized and everyone fell into the sea.

There were also a few crew members organizing the children and women to board the lifeboats. Zhou Wen looked around and didn't find anything that could be used as a boat.

The nearby hatch doors were all metal and couldn't be used as rafts.

Zhou Wen could only carry Tsukuyomi and constantly run for the high ground, constantly searching, hoping to find something that could save himself.

After losing his strength, Zhou Wen realized that the strength of humans was pathetic. Just running for a while with Tsukuyomi in his arms made his heart beat vigorously. His limbs ached and he was out of breath.

Dao Sutra kept circulating intermittently. Zhou Wen also kept trying his best to engrave the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder on the Wheel of Destiny, but due to the strange power here, the difficulty of engraving it was too great. The shallow marks on the Wheel of Destiny quickly vanished, preventing him from engraving the complete Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder.

Just as he was climbing up, a black shadow suddenly smashed down from above. Zhou Wen dodged to the side and the thing smashed into the metal pillar beside him. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that it was a table.

I've got it! Zhou Wen was overjoyed. Seeing that the table was about to continue sliding down, he hurriedly rushed over and kicked it towards the surface of the sea.

After the table fell, Zhou Wen jumped down after it and fell into the sea with Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi's face was covered in blood and she was unconscious. As the seawater met her face, the blood all over her face was washed away, dyeing the nearby seawater red.

The bone-chilling seawater made Zhou Wen shiver as he hurriedly pulled the unconscious Tsukuyomi onto the floating table.

However, the table's buoyancy couldn't withstand their weight and sank a little. Zhou Wen's calves were soaked in the seawater as he felt his body's heat rapidly wick away.

Furthermore, the waves would hit them from time to time, making them shiver from the cold.

A lifeboat happened to row by at that moment. On it were a few women and children. They watched Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi as they rowed.

"Our boat allows for one more person..." a woman shouted at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen looked at the unconscious Tsukuyomi in his arms and gritted his teeth before handing her over.

The women pulled Tsukuyomi onto the lifeboat. The lifeboat's waterline was almost at its limit, so it was impossible for Zhou Wen to board it.

Zhou Wen waved his hand at them, gesturing for them to leave.

Without Tsukuyomi's weight, the table's surface rose significantly, but it was still covered in the seawater. A portion of Zhou Wen's calf remained soaked in the seawater, numbing it until it showed a purplish-black color.

At that moment, he couldn't care less. As he paddled, he tried his best to get the top of the table surface out of the water. At the same time, he constantly engraved the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder and infused his insights from his hundred years of imprisonment into it.

Without the augmentation of Essence Energy, it was difficult to leave deep marks on the Wheel of Destiny with just his thoughts. However, with Zhou Wen's thoughts changing, even without the augmentation of Essence Energy, the marks became deeper and deeper. Soon, Zhou Wen finally succeeded in carving out the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder.

At the instant the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder appeared, Zhou Wen felt his Essence Energy surge out like a spring. It instantly nourished his body and restored his original strength. The cold seawater was no longer able to affect his body.

How did this happen? Sasser kept watching the scene on the camera. When he saw that Zhou Wen could actually use Essence Energy in the movie world, his expression turned nasty.

Although his Life Soul was magical, it could only send people into the movie world. He was unable to control the plot in the movie. All he could do was watch Zhou Wen recover his strength.

Suddenly, Sasser felt a mysterious force flow into his Life Soul, causing the movie world in the camera to change.

Chapter 1137: Tripartite Struggle

Translator: CKtalon

Sasser wore a look of horror. He realized that he couldn't control his Life Soul. The movie world that shouldn't have been changed had undergone a tremendous change.

Why is this happening? Who's controlling my Life Soul... Impossible... Sasser looked around, but he found nothing.

He became more alarmed. He couldn't find the other party, but they had controlled his Life Soul. This was a terrifying thought.

Sasser desperately wanted to retract his Life Soul and dispel the movie world, but it was already too late. The camera-like Life Soul seemed to have its own consciousness as it crazily absorbed Sasser's Essence Energy. In just a moment, his face was as pale as snow. His cheeks clearly thinned.

Zhou Wen had just recovered his Essence Energy when he suddenly saw a huge storm of dark clouds in the sky. The storm poured down as lightning constantly flashed and rumbled in the sky.

The strong winds blew at the seawater, forming huge waves that came crashing over.

What was even more terrifying was that the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder that Zhou Wen had just condensed shattered once again.

What a powerful taboo power. Even the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder can't withstand it. Are the monarchs of the dimension bent on killing me? Zhou Wen was once again relegated to an ordinary person.

Amidst the storm, Zhou Wen was thrown into the seawater by a huge wave. He kept tumbling in the bone-chilling seawater. After managing to finally surface, he found his body was almost frozen.

Bam!

Another huge wave smashed over as something slammed into Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen hugged the thing and tumbled out of the sea. It felt like a person.

After he stabilized himself and rushed out of the water with the person, he realized that it was Tsukuyomi who had slammed into him.

Not far away, there were women and children who had fallen into the water. They couldn't escape in such a storm even if there were lifeboats. They were instantly swept deep into the sea.

Many people could have lived, but now, it was unlikely any of them could.

Zhou Wen hugged Tsukuyomi and felt that her body no longer had any warmth. She was probably close to death; this only served to make him extremely depressed.

He wasn't sad that Tsukuyomi was dying, but even the lives of Calamity-grade creatures were in the hands of the dimensional monarchs. As for him, he was also at their mercy. Seeing so many humans die like ants filled Zhou Wen's chest with anger and indignation, making him feel like his chest was about to explode.

However, Zhou Wen knew very well that no matter how angry he was, it was useless. The world wouldn't change because of a human's anger, nor would it change the rules because of human emotions.

The only thing he could do was turn his anger into motivation and work hard to understand the rules and make use of them until he became the person who decided on the rules.

Under the bombardment of the massive waves, even the huge cruise ship sank, not to mention humans. The sunken ship soon became the center of a huge whirlpool.

Zhou Wen hugged Tsukuyomi, whose fate was unknown, and was swept into the sea. His body constantly slammed into objects that were swept down by the seawater, but his frozen body didn't feel any pain.

Sasser was about to become a dry corpse. Although he had advanced to the Terror grade after fusing with a Guardian, the power of the Terror grade still couldn't withstand such terrifying suction.

Who is the one behind this... Who is it... Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable... Sasser's eyes were red as they emitted a ruthless red glow.

He wasn't angry because he had been used by others, or even because he might die.

The reason he was angry was because the original movie world had been wrecked to an unbearable extent.

Although he used the movie world to kill people, he never destroyed the ending as expected of the movie world.

However, under the influence of that terrifying power, the male and female protagonists in the movie world had been completely wiped out, causing a touching movie to lose its meaning of existence.

Unforgivable... Unforgivable... The last bit of strength in Sasser's body completely erupted. The camera in his hand was emitting smoke everywhere as sparks constantly shot out, as though it had missed a spark.

Everything that happened inside the camera's movie world began rewinding. It was as though he had pressed the rewind button while watching a movie.

Sasser wanted to restore this destroyed movie world. He definitely couldn't tolerate the destruction of this movie he deemed a classic—even if it meant risking his life.

Zhou Wen, who was constantly deducing the Dao Sutra, suddenly felt time and space around him strangely retreat. Even the Life Mark he had engraved had vanished.

Rules... Rules... Only by understanding all the rules can I use them... Zhou Wen forced himself to calm down in the chaotic space. He engraved the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder again and again, correcting his understanding of the rules.

Many people believed that freedom without rules and restrictions was true freedom, but Zhou Wen believed that without rules and restrictions, there was no freedom.

Only by understanding the rules and grasping them could one truly obtain freedom.

Being lawless wasn't called freedom. It would only lead to destruction. That wasn't what Zhou Wen needed.

Pfft!

Blood spewed out of Sasser's mouth as he looked like a ferocious ghost. The terrifying force drove the movie world, allowing the movie plot to continue progressing.

Sasser had tried his best, but he still couldn't stop it.

F*ck you. Get back here. The blood vessels in Sasser's body burst, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. His blood burned, and the movie rewound again.

However, the force increased again, allowing the plot to continue moving forward.

Sasser completely disregarded his life as he unleashed his vital potential again and again, forcefully rewinding the movie.

After all, this was Sasser's Life Soul. Although the force was extremely terrifying and even stronger than Sasser, under Sasser's desperate efforts, they were in a stalemate. It alternated between fast-forwarding and rewinding. The entire movie world's timeline constantly changed.

In the chaos of time and space, the marks on Zhou Wen's Wheel of Destiny deepened. Be it the effects of rewinding or fast-forwarding, they had little influence on the mark.

Zhou Wen finally engraved the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder again, but this time, it wasn't over. Zhou Wen carved a Life Mark on the activated Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder. The Life Mark transformed into scriptures that constantly appeared in the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder. It was Zhou Wen's comprehension of the rules.

With the appearance of the scripture, the light from the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder intensified. The influence the movie world had on Zhou Wen decreased, and it was even affected by the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder.

Boom!

A strange light bloomed in the movie world.

Chapter 1138: So This Is Free Love

Translator: CKtalon

In the chaotic movie world, the tempest raged on. Dark clouds blotted out the sky as lightning streaked across the sky as waves devoured everything in their path.

However, a human emitted a holy glow as he slowly surfaced from the sea. It was none other than Zhou Wen who had fallen into the sea.

He held Tsukuyomi in one hand and held a mysterious ancient scripture in the other. The words on the ancient scripture emitted a mysterious glow.

Zhou Wen was in the movie world, but the power in the movie world could no longer affect him.

However, this wasn't the outcome Zhou Wen wanted. He looked at the ancient scripture in his hand as the sutra's glow intensified, illuminating the entire space.

The dark clouds dispersed as the wind and rain came to a stop. In the mysterious holy light, the humans who had been swept into the sea appeared again as though on rewind. Finally, the huge cruise ship slowly floated up from the bottom of the sea.

The entire timeline in the movie world was rewinding. The mysterious power that had resisted Sasser suddenly vanished, leaving only Sasser's power and the power of the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder at odds with each other.

In the beginning, Sasser wanted to rewind time and turn the plot back to normal.

But now, not only had time rewound to normal, but it was also constantly rewinding. It was almost back at the movie's beginning.

Sasser wanted to stop it, but he realized that his strength was no longer able to resist the power to rewind time. Despite exerting his full strength, the movie rewound to the beginning. The camera's screen was covered in snowflakes.

Bam!

The camera that was already producing sparks finally exploded. As the camera exploded, Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi, who were in the movie world, appeared out of thin air.

Almost at the same time as the camera exploded, Sasser spat out a mouthful of blood. His body, which was almost unrecognizable, forcefully transformed into a stream of light and escaped into the movie theater's large screen that was playing a trailer. Then, he vanished.

Zhou Wen stood on the steps in front of the theater with Tsukuyomi in his arms. The commotion had attracted the attention of many passers-by. At that moment, everyone was staring at Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi, who was being princess-carried by Zhou Wen, slowly opened her eyes as her injuries rapidly healed.

Her expression was gentle as her eyes appeared misted. She looked at Zhou Wen and said shyly, "You saved me. From now on, I'm yours."

With that said, Tsukuyomi closed her eyes. A charming blush rose on her beautiful face, inevitably making one have evil thoughts.

Although they didn't know what had happened, everyone around them began clapping when they heard Tsukuyomi's confession. Some even shouted, "Kiss her!"

Zhou Wen looked at Tsukuyomi and suddenly threw her to the ground.

This action stunned everyone. Tsukuyomi reacted very quickly. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she blinked and was already standing up.

Zhou Wen left without looking back. Tsukuyomi hurriedly chased after him.

"Holy sh*t, this brother is too awesome. Such a beauty delivered a public confession, but he threw her down without a word. After that, the beauty even chased after him. Why do I never encounter such a good thing?"

"The heavens are truly blind. Why didn't that beauty take a fancy to me?"

"..."

"Why?" Tsukuyomi chased after him and asked.

"Why? I should be asking you. Do you think I'm a fool? You were the one controlling the movie space, right?" Zhou Wen glared at her.

Previously, Zhou Wen had believed that the dimensional monarchs were attacking him, so he didn't suspect Tsukuyomi.

However, after shattering the movie world, he realized that the other party was likely at the Terror grade—definitely not the monarchs from the dimension. Otherwise, even if the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder had Terror transformed, it would be impossible for him to shatter the movie world so easily.

Zhou Wen refused to believe that a Terror form Life Soul was able to nearly kill Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi's eyes narrowed into crescents as she said with a smile, "Didn't you say that free love requires romance? A hero saving a beauty. Isn't it romantic enough for a beauty to marry him in return?"

Zhou Wen was somewhat speechless as he looked at Tsukuyomi. He was momentarily at a loss for words. All he could do was shake his head and continue walking forward.

"Is that wrong? I think that's what you humans say in your stories. I'm certain of it." Tsukuyomi took out her phone and opened the Qidian app. She read it again and felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Tell me what I did wrong. I'll change," Tsukuyomi followed and asked in all seriousness.

"Please act more realistically next time. Do it in a way that I can't tell, alright?" Zhou Wen wasn't able to put across his point clearly, so he gave a patronizing answer.

"So that's how it is. To deceive the other party without the other party seeing through it. Is this what it means by free love?" Tsukuyomi nodded thoughtfully as though she had gained some insight.

Zhou Wen was rendered speechless when he heard that. He decided to stop telling Tsukuyomi about such pointless matters in the future. It was best not to say anything.

Now, Zhou Wen could tell that Tsukuyomi had no intention of killing him. Furthermore, she seemed to have a request for him.

What do I have that Tsukuyomi wants? Could it be that Heavenly Happiness Token? However, Dragon Girl previously told me that the Heavenly Happiness Token can allow one to escape the restrictions of dimensional zones. Tsukuyomi has long escaped the restrictions of dimensional zones, why would she want the Heavenly Happiness Token? Could it be that it's not the Heavenly Happiness Token? Zhou Wen thought for a moment but apart from the Heavenly Happiness Token, there didn't seem to be anything that was worth Tsukuyomi's efforts.

If she wanted the Immortal Culling Sword or something else, she could just snatch it from him. There was no need for her to marry him. After some thought, only the Heavenly Happiness Token needed Tsukuyomi to do these things because the Heavenly Happiness Token was something useless even if she snatched it.

What's the Heavenly Happiness Token that Emperor of Shang gave me? Zhou Wen really wanted to go to the dimension to ask Emperor of Shang, but unfortunately, the only path he knew was in Chess Mountain.

The Thearch of Chess Mountain was probably even more difficult to deal with than Tsukuyomi. Zhou Wen didn't wish to provoke her.

How long can this Tsukuyomi stay on Earth? Zhou Wen secretly paid attention to Tsukuyomi and realized that she was browsing the Internet with her phone—one that Zhou Wen had bought for her.

However, from Tsukuyomi's relaxed look, it seemed like she wasn't in a rush to leave.

Could I be wrong? Not all Calamity-grade creatures need to leave Earth? Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed.

Since he couldn't escape, Zhou Wen could only get used to it.

With Tsukuyomi on the phone the entire time, he took out his phone and prepared to try the Bloodline function he had activated.

Banana Fairy and Demonic Neonate constitute my main combat strength. I can try to add some useful Life Providences for them. If Doctor Darkness and Explosive Fiend Man have some more powerful Life Providences, they can become stronger. Perhaps they might have a chance to advance further. I wonder if there are any Life Providences that can resolve Truth Listener's problem. Zhou Wen browsed through all the Companion Beasts he had. He didn't worry about which stage they were in, only looking at their Life Providences. As long as their Life Providences were good enough, it didn't matter if their levels were low.

After browsing for a while, Zhou Wen discovered many low-leveled Companion Beasts who had very unique Life Providences. They could be said to be fantastic.

Chapter 1139: Gone Viral

The Ancient Splitting Tadpole's Split Life Providence was an extremely powerful Life Providence. It split into an individual that was comparable to its own strength. Many Companion Beasts' strength would increase drastically after possessing this Life Providence.

However, the Ancient Splitting Tadpole was too rare. Zhou Wen only had one drop to date. The success rate of the Bloodline function was too low, so it was almost impossible to get another Companion Beast to gain the Split Life Providence with one Ancient Splitting Tadpole.

However, although the Epic Dark Gold Tadpoles were much weaker than the Ancient Splitting Tadpole, they had the same Life Providence as the Ancient Splitting Tadpole—Split.

He couldn't bear to use the Ancient Splitting Tadpole, but he had no qualms regarding the Dark Gold Tadpoles.

It's time to showcase my true skills. Zhou Wen carefully counted and looked at how many Dark Gold Tadpoles he had. He realized that there were more than three hundred of them.

In the past, Zhou Wen had farmed the dungeon many times, hoping to obtain another Ancient Splitting Tadpole, but he had failed to obtain one.

However, he did manage to farm many Epic Dark Gold Tadpoles as a result. He originally thought that they were useless, but they came in handy now.

Who should I test it on first? Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that he shouldn't test it on Banana Fairy and Demonic Neonate immediately. If there were any flaws with the Bloodline function, it wouldn't be worth it.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and summoned the Bronze Sparrow Sword. He planned on using the Bronze Sparrow Sword to see if the Bloodline function could really allow it to have two Life Providences without any negatives.

He placed the Bronze Sparrow Sword as the primary pet and chose a Dark Gold Tadpole as the bloodline sacrifice.

After clicking on begin, there was a flash on the phone screen. The Dark Gold Tadpole vanished while the Bronze Sparrow Sword remained.

Failure is the mother of success. Let's do it again. Zhou Wen had plenty of Dark Gold Tadpoles on hand, so he didn't care about one or two.

He placed another Dark Gold Tadpole in and chose Bloodline transfer again, but it still failed.

I have plenty of Companion Beasts. Again. Zhou Wen was already mentally prepared and knew that it wouldn't be easy to succeed.

Therefore, he placed the Dark Gold Tadpole in again and again, but he failed even after ten attempts.

Failure is a necessary path to success. As long as the bricks are paved well, there's no path that can't be crossed. If ten bricks aren't enough, I'll lay another ten. Zhou Wen continued tapping away.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

However, he still failed repeatedly. He sacrificed thirty ancient tadpoles without success.

Is the success rate of Bloodline transfer so low? Zhou Wen's heart raced.

He wanted to give up, but he couldn't bear to do so. If he gave up now, wouldn't the thirty Dark Gold Tadpoles have been thrown away for nothing?

If thirty won't do, I'll do another thirty. I don't believe that I can't even have one success. Zhou Wen sacrificed another thirty, but he still failed.

I don't believe it. Even if the success rate is only 1%, I should be able to succeed after sacrificing another thirty to forty of them, right? Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and sacrificed another forty.

The idea was nice, but reality was cruel. A hundred Dark Gold Tadpoles were sacrificed, but none of them succeeded.

Could the success rate really be that low? It's not even 1%? It can't be 0.1%, right? Zhou Wen began having second thoughts.

If there was really a 0.1% chance of success, then his 300 Dark Gold Tadpoles might not be able to create a dual Life Providence.

This wasn't about experimenting anymore. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that it wasn't a solution.

Without continuing to use Bloodline transfer, Zhou Wen first went to the bathroom to remove the filth in his body. Then, he washed his hands and cleaned himself up. He then bowed in all directions raising both hands before taking out his phone again and placing a Companion Beast on it.

This time, Zhou Wen didn't use the Bronze Sparrow Sword. Although the Bronze Sparrow Sword was very powerful, Zhou Wen didn't lack weapons. Without knowing if he could succeed, Zhou Wen felt that it was better to bet on Explosive Fiend Man.

Placing the Dark Gold Tadpole in still resulted in repeated failures. This situation was already within Zhou Wen's expectations. Now, he didn't wish for high success rates. He just wanted one success out of the remaining 200 plus Dark Gold Tadpoles.

Zhou Wen felt like he was releasing firecrackers. With a bang, they were reduced to ashes.

As this went on over and over again, there was a festive atmosphere. Yet, he didn't even succeed once.

Coupled with the hundred failures from before, the three hundred plus Dark Gold Tadpoles quickly vanished. There were less than fifty left with not one iota of hope left to be seen.

It can't be... Although Zhou Wen didn't mind failure, he still felt somewhat depressed. At the same time, he felt that the Bloodline function was just useless. With such a low success rate, unless it involved Companion Beasts that appeared en masse like music sprites, it would be very, very difficult to succeed.

The last thirty did not succeed.

The last twenty did not succeed.

As Zhou Wen continued putting Companion Beasts in dejectedly and was about to use the Bloodline transfer function again, Tsukuyomi, who was playing on her phone, put it down and walked over to Zhou Wen. As she walked, she asked, "What are you playing? It looks fun?"

Zhou Wen hurriedly put down his phone and looked at Tsukuyomi. "It's a mobile game. Do you want to play?"

"How do you play mobile games?" Tsukuyomi asked curiously.

"Give me your phone. After I download it for you, you can use your phone to play." Zhou Wen placed the mysterious phone in his pocket and took Tsukuyomi's phone. Then, he logged on to the website to download the game, Dimension, that Huang Ji had created.

However, when he searched for the game, Dimension, Zhou Wen was somewhat dumbfounded. He realized that the game, Dimension, was already first on the mobile game rankings. Furthermore, the number of downloads far exceeded second place. The difference was huge. The number of downloads for second place was just a rounding error for Dimension.

Is it the same game? Zhou Wen was somewhat suspicious. Perhaps this Dimension only had the same name as the game that Huang Ji had created.

However, on careful look, the icon for Dimension was still the same. There were no changes at all.

Could it really be the same game? Has Huang Ji's Dimension really gone viral? Zhou Wen attempted to download it.The current app was clearly much bigger than before. Thankfully, the Internet speed here was rather impressive. It took him nearly half an hour to download the game.

After entering the game, Zhou Wen still couldn't be sure if this was a game produced by Huang Ji. Be it the graphics or controls, it was much better than the previous version of Dimension. They were on completely different levels.

However, the most basic modes were still the same as Dimension.

Only when Zhou Wen went on Dimension's official website and saw that the overall game designer's name was Huang Ji, did he confirm that this Dimension was indeed the former Dimension mobile game.

Chapter 1140: Successful Division

Translator: CKtalon

After a brief search online, Zhou Wen realized that the popularity of Dimension far exceeded his imagination.

There were many humans playing Dimension. The current game dungeons were no longer limited to the few dungeons in Luoyang. Many dungeons from around the world were available.

Of course, most of them were dungeons that humans had explored, but the assortment was rather complete.

Zhou Wen chose a few dungeons that he was more familiar with and entered the game to take a look. He realized that it was rather realistic. The various habits and actions of dimensional creatures had been done very realistically.

After familiarizing himself with the attack patterns of dimensional creatures in-game, it would definitely be of great help in real life.

For example, the Runic Heavy-Armored Warrior in the Metalwork Temple dungeon—the signs prior to it using its runes were very realistic.

Zhou Wen was very surprised. He never expected that the mobile game he had randomly aided in its creation would be so popular in the world. Furthermore, it seemed to have become a dimensional zone database for everyone. This was something Zhou Wen had never expected.

Dimension had similar functions as Zhou Wen's phone, but it didn't have the mind connection function. It could only play dungeons that humans had already explored.

As for the mysterious phone, it could download dungeons that had never been entered. There was still a fundamental difference.

"Using mobile games to familiarize yourself with dimensional zones and dimensional creatures. You humans sure have some ideas." Tsukuyomi was smart. After watching Zhou Wen play for a while, she knew what the game was about.

"Alright, you can play by yourself." Zhou Wen returned the phone to Tsukuyomi.

Seemingly intrigued, Tsukuyomi took her phone and started playing.

Seeing that Tsukuyomi was gaming, Zhou Wen took out the mysterious phone again. When he turned on the screen, he was immediately given a fright.

Previously, because of Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen, who was choosing a pet, had put away his phone. Perhaps his fingers had touched a Companion Beast when he put it away, allowing him to place Torch Dragon on it.

On careful look, he realized that it had already undergone Bloodline transfer. What surprised Zhou Wen even more was that he had succeeded. Beside him was a notification that Bloodline transfer had succeeded.

Zhou Wen hurriedly looked at Torch Dragon's information. Indeed, in the Life Providence column, there was not only the Life Providence, Son of a World King, but also Split.

Are you kidding me? It succeeded? Zhou Wen threw the remaining dozen or so Dark Gold Tadpoles at Explosive Fiend Man, but none of them succeeded.

Don't tell me the Bloodline transfer function completely depends on luck? Zhou Wen really couldn't tell if there was any pattern. Why did Torch Dragon succeed in one try?

He didn't have the luxury of time to think much about it. Zhou Wen summoned Torch Dragon in-game to see what changes it would undergo after having the Split Life Providence.

Don't tell me it can split into tiny Torch Dragons like the Splitting Tadpoles that can explode after death? Zhou Wen couldn't imagine what it would be like.

To verify Torch Dragon's new Life Providence, Zhou Wen took Torch Dragon to the snow valley behind the Valley of No Return.

Zhou Wen had been to Snow Valley many times in the past, but the blood-colored avatar died without knowing why. He didn't even know the cause of death.

He had long suspected that there were Terror creatures there. Now was the time to take a look. He could also farm some Dark Gold Tadpoles.

He farmed all the way to Snow Valley. All he saw was silver snow. Apart from that, there were no other creatures in Snow Valley.

However, Zhou Wen was no longer the same as before. With the Wheel of Destiny activated, the valley in his eyes immediately changed.

The originally beautiful Snow Valley became extremely terrifying in Zhou Wen's eyes.

In the snow that looked extremely pure, there were countless tiny worms crawling around. They were densely packed and uncountable.

The worms looked like maggots, but they were even smaller. They drilled through the gaps in the snow, preventing any changes in the snow.

When he saw the countless tiny maggots squirming in the snow, Zhou Wen had the urge to vomit.

However, another thought suppressed the urge to vomit.

Although these worms are very small, they aren't so small that I can't see them. I couldn't see them at all previously. Could it be that these worms are at the Terror grade? Zhou Wen was shocked by this thought.

There were countless worms in Snow Valley. The idea that they were all Terror creatures was terrifying.

If the worms here were to fly out, they would probably be able to destroy the entire world.

It's impossible that they are all Terror creatures, right? Zhou Wen thought for a moment and ordered Torch Dragon to rush into Snow Valley. At the same time, he got it to activate the Bright Torch Vision World to see if it could kill the tiny worms in the snow.

Torch Dragon's Bright Torch Vision World opened as its mirror-like eyes looked towards Snow Valley. The thick snow in Snow Valley immediately vanished.

However, the worms didn't disappear with the snow. They remained where they were and landed on the ground below.

Without a doubt, the Bright Torch Vision World was ineffective against them. The Mythical Torch Dragon Youngling couldn't see them either, indicating that they might really be Terror-grade creatures.

Torch Dragon's actions infuriated the tiny worms. On their white bodies, pairs of invisible wings unfurled.

Then, countless tiny worms flapped their wings and flew towards Torch Dragon like a fog.

Torch Dragon couldn't see the tiny worms, so it had no idea that danger was approaching. It continued standing there in a daze.

Zhou Wen hurriedly ordered it to attack, but it was useless. It couldn't see the worms, so its strongest offensive skill, Bright Torch Vision World, was useless.

Countless tiny worms pounced on Torch Dragon and drilled into its body through any possible gaps.

Now, Zhou Wen finally knew how the blood-colored avatar had died in the past. Just the thought of countless worms entering his mouth and nose made Zhou Wen feel uncomfortable. His throat felt itchy as he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

With the countless worms entering Torch Dragon's body and about to kill it, Zhou Wen ordered it to use World King Transformation.

Numerous Torch Dragon Eyes opened on Torch Dragon's body. Its aura immediately became terrifyingly powerful. Despite so many Torch Dragon Eyes using Bright Torch Vision World together, they still failed to injure the tiny worms.

Instead, Torch Dragon let out a painful roar. Its body had almost been bitten through by the worms.

Suddenly, Torch Dragon's body split apart, but its body didn't shatter into pieces. The rows of Torch Dragon Eyes that appeared on its body after the World King Transformation split apart. Every Torch Dragon Eye transformed into a miniature Torch Dragon.

Instantly, the huge Torch Dragon Youngling turned into a bunch of tiny Torch Dragon Younglings with one eye.

Zhou Wen looked at the tiny Explosive Dragon Youngling in a daze. This was clearly different from the Ancient Splitting Tadpole's Split.

The Ancient Splitting Tadpole's Split was a passive skill. It could only split after an explosion. As for Torch Dragon Youngling's Split, it seemed to split on its own accord, splitting its body into smaller Torch Dragons. The smaller Torch Dragons were clearly not bombs, and they had no intention of self-destructing.

Chapter 1141: The Way for Continued Growth

Just as Zhou Wen was feeling alarmed, he realized that Torch Dragon had unleashed World King Transformation again.

A group of smaller Torch Dragons unleashed their World King Transformation as rows of Torch Dragon Eyes grew out of their bodies. At the same time, they activated Bright Torch Vision World. Instantly, the entire valley was wiped clean by Bright Torch Vision World.

With so many miniature Torch Dragons using the World King Transformation and Bright Torch Vision World simultaneously, it was similar to a small-scale apocalypse. Everything that could be seen, other than Torch Dragon itself, vanished without a trace.

However, no matter how powerful Bright Torch Vision World was, Torch Dragon was still at the Mythical stage. It couldn't undergo Terror transformation. Without being able to see the worms, Bright Torch Vision World was ineffective against them.

The tiny worms rushed forward again and burrowed into the tiny Torch Dragons' bodies. However, the tiny Torch Dragons began to split apart again. The eyes on its body split into even smaller Torch Dragons.

After splitting again and again, Torch Dragon stopped after splitting nine times. It had the same maximum of nine splits as the Ancient Seed Splitting Tadpole.

However, unlike the Ancient Splitting Tadpole, Torch Dragon didn't have the self-destruction skill. Therefore, it only split and didn't self-destruct. The number of tiny Torch Dragons that were produced from nine splits was already shocking.

With so many tiny Torch Dragons using World King Transformation and Bright Torch Vision World together, the huge Snow Valley turned into a dead zone.

Bright Torch Vision World was constantly superimposed onto each other. Not only did the Bright Torch Vision World between the different Torch Dragons not harm each other, but it also strengthened it by reflecting each other's Bright Torch Vision World.

In the Bright Torch Vision World that constantly reflected, Zhou Wen realized that a portion of the worms had vanished. It was as though they had been affected by the power of Bright Torch Vision World.

It can't be. Only a Terror-grade power can injure a Terror-grade. No matter how strong Torch Dragon Youngling is, it can't undergo Terror transformation; yet, its power can actually kill the tiny worms. Could it be that those tiny worms aren't at the Terror-grade? Zhou Wen carefully observed for a while and realized that not all the tiny worms would be destroyed by the Bright Torch Vision World. Only a portion of them would be affected.

However, Snow Valley suffered. It had been completely wrecked and the entire Valley of No Return was affected. If Zhou Wen hadn't been prepared, the blood-colored avatar would probably have been destroyed by Torch Dragon.

Boom!

As the ground was devoured by Bright Torch Vision World, a terrifying sound suddenly came from below the snow valley. A huge snow-white worm crawled out of the ground.

The worm was the size of a truck. It was snow-white and had six transparent wings on its back. It looked like the tiny worms.

As the huge worm burrowed out of the ground, the worms approached it and fused into its body like water entering the sea.

So that's how it is... So this is the true body of the Terror creature. The tiny worms are just avatars that it split out... However, to be able to eliminate a portion of the Terror-grade avatars, Torch Dragon's ability is sick. Zhou Wen immediately came to a realization.

The appearance of the huge worm's true body made it apparent that it was much stronger than the tiny worms. Torch Dragon's Bright Torch Vision World was useless against it. It flew in the Bright Torch Vision World and opened its suction cup-like mouth to suck in a tiny Torch Dragon.

Unlike the tiny worms, this huge worm didn't need to enter Torch Dragon's body at all. Furthermore, it wanted to devour Torch Dragon.

The tiny Torch Dragons were devoured as the other tiny Torch Dragons failed to put up much of a resistance.

What a pity. If Torch Dragon was also at the Terror grade, how could this huge worm be its match? Torch Dragon could probably instantly kill it with a glance. Zhou Wen wasn't alarmed but delighted.

After Torch Dragon obtained the Split Life Providence, not only did its life-preservation abilities greatly increase, but its offensive strength also greatly increased. Once it advanced to the Terror grade, Zhou Wen felt that even Banana Fairy might not be able to defeat Torch Dragon.

How can I advance Torch Dragon to the Terror grade? Zhou Wen thought to himself.

Soon, the tiny Torch Dragons were devoured by the huge worm. The phone system also indicated the death of Torch Dragon Youngling.

Zhou Wen summoned Banana Fairy and Demonic Neonate as he activated his Wheel of Destiny. Clown Mask and the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder appeared at the same time.

However, before Zhou Wen could do anything, Banana Fairy sent out a Supreme Yin Wind. The huge worm's body immediately flew up. When it was in the air, it gradually froze and turned into an ice sculpture.

Splash!

The huge worm landed on the ground and its huge body shattered. However, its shattered body transformed into tiny worms that gathered together again.

Banana Fairy frowned unhappily and blew again. However, this time, it was the Supreme Yang Wind.

This time, he saw the huge worm struggle in the flames with a tragic cry, but to no avail. Its wings were burned to ashes. Regardless of whether it amalgamated or dispersed, it was burned to ashes when it encountered the Supreme Yang Wind. It had no ability to resist.

The previously mighty worm was literally a worm in front of Banana Fairy. It was burned to death.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, a system notification popped up. 'Killed Terror Creature Gu Mother. Discovered Dimensional Crystal.'

It's not a Companion Egg? Zhou Wen was somewhat disappointed as he looked at the crystal that dropped and realized that it was an 87 Essence Energy crystal.

Zhou Wen originally wanted to pick up the Essence Energy Crystal and use it himself, but he realized that Banana Fairy was staring at him. No, she was looking at the Essence Energy Crystal in his hand.

"You want this?" Zhou Wen asked Banana Fairy.

Banana Fairy nodded immediately. She looked like she really wanted it.

Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before handing the Essence Energy Crystal to Banana Fairy. After Banana Fairy obtained the dimensional crystal, it immediately transformed into threads of light that fused into her body.

Soon, the 87-Essence Energy crystal completely vanished. As for Banana Fairy, she looked like she hadn't had enough.

Zhou Wen hurriedly looked at Banana Fairy's stats and realized that her Essence Energy had already reached 87, while the other three stats were still 82.

I see. So Terror-grade creatures are the same as humans. They need to absorb Essence Energy Crystals to increase their stats. They aren't born with full stats. Zhou Wen was delighted and worried.

He was happy that he finally knew how to ensure Banana Fairy's continued growth, but he was worried about where to get so many stat crystals for himself and Banana Fairy.

Zhou Wen could still use Mythical stat crystals, but Banana Fairy had to use Terror-grade stat crystals. Only Terror-grade creatures dropped them.

From the looks of it, I have to make another trip to the sapphire sky in the underground sea and the Endless Sea of Stars. Zhou Wen thought to himself about the dungeons he had downloaded and the possibility of any Terror creatures.

Chapter 1142: Battling the Sapphire Sky Again

It was unknown if the Planet Devourer in the Endless Sea of Stars was at the Terror grade, but the huge dimensional creature in the Sapphire Sky was definitely at the Terror grade.

However, Zhou Wen found it odd. Why were Torch Dragon and Qiongqi who were guarding the temple at the Mythical stage while there was a Terror-grade creature in the Sapphire Sky?

Could it be that the temple isn't the core of the Zhuolu ruins? The more Zhou Wen thought about it, the more he felt that it was right.

Sapphire Sky, Longevity Tree, Demon Blood True Dragon Guardian, White Bone Desert, and other places had all sorts of mysteries. In contrast, the temple wasn't as exaggerated.

Although there was a powerful creature like Torch Dragon, it was only a youngling. It hadn't even reached the Terror grade.

After killing the Gu Mother, Zhou Wen left the Valley of No Return dungeon because he didn't know how long it would take for it to respawn. He headed for the Zhuolu underground sea to hunt the Terror creature in the Sapphire Sky.

Now, Zhou Wen and Banana Fairy needed to raise their stats. As for Demonic Neonate, she hadn't truly advanced to the Terror grade. Her stats had reached their limits, so she couldn't raise them for the time being.

In fact, Zhou Wen's situation was similar to Demonic Neonate's. However, humans had just advanced to the Mythical stage. They weren't like Demonic Neonate who had maxed out her stats from the beginning. They still needed to slowly raise their stats.

When he arrived at the underground sea, the nine black dragons had already respawned. Zhou Wen first grinded the nine dragons, and another Companion Egg dropped.

Now, Zhou Wen already had seven Demon Blood True Dragon Companion Beasts. Only the last two types hadn't been obtained.

Since the Demon Blood True Dragon with the Wu character hadn't dropped a Companion Egg all this while, the other Demon Blood True Dragons couldn't fuse. There was a constant indication that the main core was lacking. This made Zhou Wen suspect that the Demon Blood True Dragon with the Wu dragon pearl was the main core.

The Guardian in the war wagon was gone. Guardians weren't like dimensional creatures and wouldn't respawn.

I wonder how much that Guardian in Ant City has grown. With my present abilities, with Banana and Demonic Neonate, I should be able to kill her, right? Zhou Wen planned on giving it a try later.

After coming out of the sea, Zhou Wen looked up at the Sapphire Sky. The behemoth was in there and could be seen from afar.

The Sapphire Sky was clearly solid, but the behemoth swam around the Sapphire Sky as though it wasn't solid but ordinary seawater.

Zhou Wen had previously attempted to shatter the Sapphire Sky, but the sapphire was abnormally hard. The power of a Mythical could only leave faint marks on it. It was impossible to shatter it.

Zhou Wen carefully observed the creature in the Sapphire Sky. The creature looked very strange. Its entire body was blue and translucent. Its upper body resembled a human's body. It also had arms and hands, but its lower body didn't have legs. It had many blue ribbon-like objects.

Its head was also different from humans. It looked like a jellyfish without any human facial features.

It wandered in the Sapphire Sky and occasionally swept its gaze over the blood-colored avatar, as though it was also observing it. Clearly, it had long discovered the blood-colored avatar.

However, for some reason, it didn't leave the Sapphire Sky to attack the blood-colored avatar. It only occasionally moved its jellyfish-like head beneath the Sapphire Sky to observe the blood-colored avatar and the Companion Beasts.

Could it be that the Sapphire Sky is actually a prison? An idea flashed through Zhou Wen's mind as he thought of this possibility.

Zhou Wen had been to the underground sea countless times, but apart from being attacked when he approached the Sapphire Sky, he was never in danger.

If it's really imprisoned here, who imprisoned it? Why is it imprisoned here? Zhou Wen didn't have any more clues and couldn't figure it out.

After summoning Banana Fairy and Demonic Neonate, Demonic Neonate summoned Grim Demon.

Back when he had fought Di Tian, after Wang Mingyuan suppressed Grim Demon, he had used Grim Demon's identity to enter the cube's arena. Later, when Zhou Wen returned, Wang Mingyuan had imprisoned Zhou Wen in Fangzhang Mountain, and Grim Demon returned.

However, Zhou Wen was trapped, and Grim Demon had been sealed in the Demonic Sword the entire time. He had no chance of coming out.

Now, to kill the dimensional creature in the Sapphire Sky, Grim Demon would come in handy.

Zhou Wen got the blood-colored avatar to stand far away as Banana Fairy and Grim Demon approached the Sapphire Sky.

Banana Fairy blew a gust of Supreme Yin Wind at the Sapphire Sky from afar, but the Supreme Yin Wind was blocked by the Sapphire Sky. It couldn't enter, so it naturally couldn't injure the dimensional creature.

Zhou Wen immediately felt that something was amiss. Although the Sapphire Sky trapped the dimensional creature, it also prevented anyone from killing it.

That thing was indeed extraordinary, considering how even the Terror-grade Supreme Yin Wind couldn't stir the Sapphire Sky.

Seeing that the Supreme Yin Wind had failed, Grim Demon emitted a terrifying demonic aura that swept towards the Sapphire Sky.

Boom!

Grim Demon's punch struck the Sapphire Sky, creating a huge crater more than two meters in diameter. Although the destructive power was shocking, it was just a tiny gap in the entire sapphire sky—as inconspicuous as a needle eye.

Furthermore, after Grim Demon retracted his fist, sapphire shards automatically flew back and filled up the shattered hole. Soon, it returned to its original state without any trace of it being damaged.

Zhou Wen was even more alarmed. The power of the Sapphire Sky was clearly not self-healing; it was more like an ability like Time Reversal.

Just as Grim Demon retracted his palm, the dimensional creature in the Sapphire Sky emitted a blue beam of light that blasted out through the Sapphire Sky.

The dazzling light was so intense that it was almost blinding, but after passing through the Sapphire Sky, it became much weaker. It was extremely weak by the time it reached Grim Demon.

Even without using the Wheel of Destiny, Zhou Wen could see the blue beam.

This meant that the power of the blue beam was almost below the Terror grade. That was why it could be seen by the human eye.

Grim Demon was very disdainful of such weak strength. With a casual wave of his hand, he shot out a demonic beam, hoping to shatter the blue beam.

However, after the demonic aura came into contact with the blue light, the latter didn't shatter. Instead, it seeped into the demonic aura, causing a strange blue color to suffuse the black demonic aura.

Furthermore, the blueness in the demonic aura became more and more obvious. Soon, the demonic aura that Grim Demon produced turned into sapphire.

Eh, that's odd. Why can the Sapphire Sky block and weaken the power of dimensional creatures, but the dazzling light it emits can transform demonic aura into something like the Sapphire Sky? Zhou Wen found it odd.

Chapter 1143: It's a Long Story

After some thought, he couldn't think of a reasonable explanation. All Zhou Wen could do was get Grim Demon and Banana Fairy to continue attacking.

However, across the Sapphire Sky, Grim Demon and Banana Fairy's powers were almost unable to injure the dimensional creature. The dazzling blue beam released by the dimensional creature was greatly weakened. It could only barely transform the demonic aura into sapphire. Furthermore, the blue beams dissipated not long after passing through the Sapphire Sky. It couldn't exist for long.

However, this was already very shocking. Be it Grim Demon's demonic aura or Banana Fairy's wind, none of them could completely eliminate the blue beam.

Even if one's strength was far stronger than the blue beam, it would be permeated by the blue beam and become a part of the demonic aura or wind before slowly turning into sapphire.

However, due to the power of the dazzling light being too weak, it could only convert a tiny portion of the demonic aura or wind into sapphire-like crystals before being exhausted.

After shattering, the demonic aura and wind that had turned into sapphire would automatically fly to the Sapphire Sky, becoming a part of it.

What's going on? Is it imprisoned here or did it trap itself? Could it be that it can only survive in the Sapphire Sky? It will die if it leaves the Sapphire Sky, so it tries to turn everything into sapphire? Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that this idea wasn't too reliable.

However, since he couldn't break through the Sapphire Sky's obstruction, it was impossible for him to kill the Terror creature. Zhou Wen had no choice but to change his strategy and use the Terror form of Great Brahma.

Great Brahma was in a Spirit Body state, something that Zhou Wen wanted to exploit to see if it could pass through the Sapphire Sky.

The four-faced and eight-armed Great Brahma flew towards the Sapphire Sky. The black hole behind him was like the entrance to hell, as though it could devour everything. It also seemed like countless evil spirits were about to crawl out.

It really passed through! Zhou Wen watched as Great Brahma entered the Sapphire Sky. Just like the dimensional creature, Great Brahma looked like it had entered water. His actions were slowed down a little but weren't too affected.

The ribbon on the lower half of the dimensional creature's body danced as it shimmered with blue light that swept towards Great Brahma.

As they were in the Sapphire Sky, the might of the dazzling blue beam wasn't weakened. It was unimaginably terrifying.

Great Brahma was still sitting cross-legged with his eight hands forming different hand seals. The expressions on the three faces were also different. Only the face facing the black hole had no discernible expression.

Only when the blue beam descended in front of Great Brahma did he strike out with a palm.

The blue beam was extinguished by Great Brahma's palm as though a candle had been extinguished.

Holy sh*t, Great Brahma is unstoppable! Zhou Wen was overjoyed, but he could also tell that the dimensional creature inside the Sapphire Sky was undoubtedly a soul. Great Brahma was most effective against such creatures.

Great Brahma could almost be said to be the nemesis of ghosts and souls. At the same level, creatures like ghosts were unable to put up a fight.

Although the dimensional creature inside the Sapphire Sky was a Spirit Body, it was somewhat different from ordinary ghosts. It wasn't completely suppressed by Great Brahma as it constantly emitted blue beams to fight.

Its figure floated erratically in the Sapphire Sky as though it could teleport. It appeared around Great Brahma as blue beams constantly bombarded him.

However, no matter how strange and powerful the blue beams were, they were suppressed by Great Brahma's palm. They immediately dimmed and were extinguished, making the attack meaningless.

"Nicely done. Kill it!" Zhou Wen directed Great Brahma to kill the dimensional creature.

However, Zhou Wen soon realized gloomily that Great Brahma wouldn't take the initiative to attack. He would only counterattack when his opponent attacked.

Great Brahma's counterattacks were clearly insufficient to kill the dimensional creature.

It can't be! Great Brahma only knows how to be beaten up? Zhou Wen found it unbelievable. With his understanding of the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, it didn't seem to be the case.

Furthermore, Great Brahma had four faces. One was heartless, one was bliss, and the other was filled with pity. Although the fourth face remained unknown, the three faces made him unlikely to be someone who only knew how to take a beating.

Did something go wrong? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Wen sank his mind into Great Brahma. It was born from him and was equivalent to his avatar. Zhou Wen immediately received some information about Great Brahma, making his expression change.

Although Great Brahma was nurtured by Zhou Wen, it didn't mean that he understood everything about it.

Great Brahma's power didn't only come from Zhou Wen. It also came from the profundity of the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra and the Guardian's blood that served as a foundation. Therefore, the Terror-form Great Brahma was actually an extremely complicated individual. Even Zhou Wen found it difficult to understand everything about him.

From the basic information he received, the power that Great Brahma used in battle was actually only a quarter of his total strength.

He had a total of four faces, and each face represented a different power. Now, what was really used in battle was the expressionless side in front.

The power of the left and right faces wasn't used for combat, so they weren't suitable for attacking.

And the last face that even Zhou Wen couldn't see hid an extremely terrifying power. Even as Great Brahma's owner, Zhou Wen felt his heart palpitate as though there was something terrifying about it. Once it was activated, even the owner couldn't predict the outcome.

However, this was in-game, so Zhou Wen naturally didn't have any qualms. He directly activated the unknown face of Great Brahma.

After Zhou Wen issued the order, Great Brahma finally did something different. The face facing the black hole slowly turned around.

Zhou Wen didn't know what the face looked like. He was staring at the side of his face that was spinning, when he suddenly realized that the scene around him had undergone a strange change.

The black hole that was like a Buddhistic glow behind Great Brahma gradually expanded as he turned around.

Before Great Brahma could fully turn his head, the black hole had already devoured the Sapphire Sky. Countless evil spirits roared out of it, turning the underground sea into hell.

Zhou Wen only saw Great Brahma's side profile. Before he could see it clearly, the game screen suddenly turned black.

As a dark cloud hung over him, Zhou Wen was rendered speechless. He was probably the first person in history to be killed by his Terror form power.

Holy sh*t, I'm the creator of Great Brahma after all. Even I'm killed! This doesn't make sense! Zhou Wen's feelings were indescribable.

Chapter 1144: Tsukuyomi's Request

Translator: CKtalon

Great Brahma's fourth face was definitely a powerful killing machine. It was extremely powerful at the Terror grade, but its indiscriminate killing was a huge problem.

Great Brahma was Zhou Wen's Terror form, so he couldn't put too much distance between him and Great Brahma. Otherwise, Great Brahma would automatically return to his body.

Unless Zhou Wen could withstand the power of Great Brahma's fourth face, using it again was equivalent to suicide.

Great Brahma's power seems somewhat similar to Truth Listener. Could there be a relationship between the two? Zhou Wen felt that the power of Great Brahma's fourth face was indeed somewhat similar to Truth Listener when it released six earrings. It just wasn't as strong.

Zhou Wen was considering how to use Great Brahma's power when Tsukuyomi walked over.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Wen looked up at Tsukuyomi and asked.

"The game is boring." Although Tsukuyomi was holding her phone, she had already quit the game.

"Why don't I take you to get something to eat?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.

"Human food is no different from rocks to me. It is all material energy," Tsukuyomi said indifferently.

Zhou Wen immediately felt a headache. If he were made to kill dimensional creatures, he could think of a way to defeat his opponent.

However, he really couldn't guess a woman's thoughts.

"Have you been to school?" Tsukuyomi suddenly asked Zhou Wen.

"Of course." Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled, unsure why Tsukuyomi would suddenly ask such a question.

"What's it like to go to school?" Tsukuyomi asked again.

"It's just studying. What else would it be?" Zhou Wen found Tsukuyomi's question odd.

"Then take me to school," Tsukuyomi blinked and said.

"School?" Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss. He didn't know what Tsukuyomi meant.

"Dimensional creatures are born with knowledge, so there's no concept of schooling. I want to know what it's like to go to school. Take me there," Tsukuyomi said seriously.

So that's how it is. Zhou Wen thought about it and realized that it was true. Dimensional creatures really didn't need to study like humans.

However, Tsukuyomi's request left Zhou Wen in a dilemma.

A school wasn't like street markets. It wasn't a place he could go as he wished. Although Zhou Wen had been a student in the past, he hadn't graduated. Five years had passed and his former classmates had already graduated. Zhou Wen also had no intention of returning to school to study.

Looking at Tsukuyomi's expression, Zhou Wen knew that they had to go. After some thought, he had an idea.

It wouldn't be difficult for Zhou Wen to take Tsukuyomi into Sunset College, but it would be too dangerous. If Tsukuyomi ended up p*ssed and started a massacre at Sunset College, no one would be able to stop her. It would probably result in a bloodbath in Luoyang.

However, he had to agree to Tsukuyomi's request. Otherwise, she would immediately fall out with him.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Wen planned on taking Tsukuyomi to the Royal College and letting her experience and enjoy the school's atmosphere for two days.

Royal College was a very famous university in the Federation. It was ranked above Sunset College.

Royal College didn't usually recruit foreign students. It was a school that only the children of the Cape family and its vassal families could attend. The people inside were basically people related to the Cape family.

Zhou Wen didn't have a good relationship with the Cape family. Although he didn't go so far as to destroy the Cape family, any nasty job or operation was linked to them.

After making up his mind, Zhou Wen led Tsukuyomi to the Royal College in West District.

The two of them had spatial powers, so they naturally didn't need to walk. After Zhou Wen explained the location, Tsukuyomi directly teleported him over. Tsukuyomi's long-distance teleportation was fast and accurate, much better than Zhou Wen's. As expected of a Calamity. Zhou Wen only sighed. His level was still lacking.

It was definitely too late to complete the matriculation procedures now. Zhou Wen didn't plan on really studying. All he wanted to do was take Tsukuyomi around, so he planned on just gate-crashing certain classes.

Royal College was a sealed college. It was difficult for outsiders to enter, but to Zhou Wen, it was just a matter of teleportation.

Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi appeared out of nowhere in Royal College without attracting anyone's attention.

"Is this a school?" Tsukuyomi looked around as though she was very curious.

"Yes, this is one of the most famous schools for humans," Zhou Wen said.

"Whose statue is that? Why is it placed there?" Tsukuyomi pointed at a spot near the entrance and asked.

Zhou Wen turned his head and saw a statue erected at the school's entrance. It was a person holding a sword that was slashing at the sky.

Although it was only a statue, it revealed a might that seemed to slice the sky into two.

Zhou Wen looked at the statue's posture and found it somewhat familiar. When he carefully looked at the statue's face, he was immediately enlightened. Wasn't this him slicing through Di Tian's nine firmaments?

"This is a memorial statue. The engraved figure is called Human Sovereign." Zhou Wen felt a little embarrassed when he introduced it to Tsukuyomi.

"The Human Sovereign who defeated Di Tian in the cube's arena?" Tsukuyomi clearly knew of Human Sovereign's deeds.

In fact, as long as one went online, it was very easy to obtain information regarding Human Sovereign. It wasn't strange for Tsukuyomi to know.

"Yes," Zhou Wen answered with a nod, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.

The two of them chatted as they walked in Royal College. Zhou Wen originally believed that it wouldn't be difficult to gatecrash on campus.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten that this was Royal College. Furthermore, it only recruited students from families like the Capes, so basically everyone in this school was from the West District.

Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi looked like people from the East District. After walking around the school for a while, they attracted the attention of many people.

Thankfully, most of the students were only curious and looked at them a few more times without any intention of stopping them.

After walking for a while, a female student finally walked over and stopped them. "Are you students from Bright Prospects College?"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen didn't deny it as he asked.

"I especially admire your school's Professor Tomorrow. I heard that he's leading a team to our Royal College for an exchange. Is that true? Will he go on stage to give a speech? Can I ask you to help me get the signature of Professor Tomorrow?" the girl said it all in one breath.

"Sorry, I don't know Professor Tomorrow. It's best you ask him yourself." Zhou Wen obviously didn't know Professor Tomorrow.

"Aren't you students from Bright Prospects College? How can you not know Professor Tomorrow?" the girl said in disbelief.

"I really don't know him," Zhou Wen repeated before preparing to leave with Tsukuyomi.

"It's fine if you don't want to help. Why are you lying? You're clearly walking towards the venue," the girl muttered as she followed. Zhou Wen and company were heading in the direction of the venue.

Chapter 1145: Swordsman Tomorrow

The two of them saw that there were many students gathered at the venue ahead. Tsukuyomi was intrigued as she walked over.

"What are they doing?" Tsukuyomi looked at the students and asked Zhou Wen.

"Didn't the student just say that a person named Professor Tomorrow is coming here to give a lecture?" Zhou Wen said casually.

"What do humans teach during lectures? Is it the knowledge known as science? Will it teach me how to make phones?" Tsukuyomi asked curiously.

"That might not be the case." Although Zhou Wen didn't know who Professor Tomorrow was, he believed that it wasn't about scientific knowledge. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so popular.

Humans in this era were far more interested in Companion Beasts and cultivation than in scientific knowledge.

"Can we listen in too?" Tsukuyomi asked.

"Of course." Zhou Wen found two seats and sat down with Tsukuyomi, preparing to attend Professor Tomorrow's class.

To their surprise, after a while, the girl who had spoken to them came in. When she saw Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi, she took the initiative to walk over.

"Why are you sitting here? Doesn't Bright Prospects College have special seats?" the girl asked the two of them in puzzlement.

"We'll just sit here and watch," Zhou Wen replied.

The girl looked at Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi and seemed to come to a realization. "You want to know the true evaluation our Royal College students have of you, right? Actually, you don't have to worry. Although Bright Prospects College's ranking isn't high in the Federation, with an existence like Professor Tomorrow teaching there, no one dares to underestimate the students of Bright Prospects College, much less Professor Tomorrow."

"You admire Professor Tomorrow?" Tsukuyomi's curiosity was piqued by the girl. She now wanted to know what kind of person Professor Tomorrow was.

"Of course, everyone who uses a sword worships Professor Tomorrow. In the battle at East Sun Mountain, if Professor Tomorrow hadn't single-handedly entered the dimensional creature tide and killed nineteen Mythical creatures, as well as the Terror creature in the lead, I'm afraid the city at the foot of East Sun Mountain would have been massacred... At the bank of Futu River, Professor Tomorrow assassinated the leader of the Guardians who presided over the Futu Conference, preventing the League of Guardians's conspiracy from succeeding..." When the girl spoke of Professor Tomorrow's various deeds, she described him like a god descending to the mortal world.

Zhou Wen broke out into a cold sweat for the girl when he heard that. She spent most of her time explaining how powerful Professor Tomorrow was and how many dimensional creatures he had killed.

Little did she know that Tsukuyomi, who was beside her, was a genuine dimensional creature. Furthermore, she was a virtually invincible Calamity-grade existence. She could kill her countless times with a single spit.

"In short, Professor Tomorrow is handsome, has a good temper, is extremely powerful, and is very humble. He's practically a perfect Prince Charming. He's the idol of many students at our school..." The girl talked non-stop about Professor Tomorrow as if she had endless praise for him.

Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled when he heard that. Professor Tomorrow could actually kill a Terror-grade creature. His strength was considered top-notch among humans.

Furthermore, from the sound of it, Professor Tomorrow didn't seem old. He could be considered young and promising.

Tsukuyomi was also very intrigued. She waited for Professor Tomorrow's arrival, hoping to see what kind of person he was.

The number of students at the venue gradually increased. The staff were all busy with work. In today's society, a strong person like Professor Tomorrow was even more famous than the celebrities of yesteryear. Even Royal College didn't dare to slight him.

The venue was almost full. Before Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi saw Professor Tomorrow, they already heard the girls scream.

"Tomorrow... Tomorrow..." The girls' screams were like a tsunami's roar.

The girl beside Zhou Wen also stood up and shouted 'Tomorrow' with the other girls. However, she was still sweeping her gaze in search. Clearly, she hadn't seen Professor Tomorrow yet. Her vision was blocked by the person in front.

After a while, a handsome young man walked up to the podium. At this moment, the shouting reached its climax. Thankfully, this was an outdoor venue. Otherwise, the roof would have been overturned by the tsunami-like sound waves.

Tsukuyomi looked at the young man on stage with interest. When Zhou Wen saw the young man, he couldn't help but be taken aback. This was because he actually knew Professor Tomorrow.

Strange, isn't his name Ming Xiu? When did he change his name to Tomorrow? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.

Five years had changed Ming Xiu from a boy to a man. He stood on the podium calmly and elegantly. He gestured with his hands and the ear-piercing screams stopped.

"Thank you for all your love and support. What would you like to hear from me?" Ming Xiu said with a smile.

"Tomorrow Sword Art..." the students said almost in unison.

Zhou Wen was taken aback again as he recalled that the name Tomorrow Sword Art was named by him.

"Professor Ming, you are known as Swordsman Tomorrow. If swordsmen aren't talking about sword arts, are they going to teach us how to dance?" a bold male student joked.

Ming Xiu didn't mind. He smiled and said, "This student is right. I'm a swordsman. All my life, I've only learned how to use a sword. The only thing I can teach you is sword arts."

"Professor Ming, I heard that your Tomorrow Sword Art was self-created. Is it true?" another boy asked.

Ming Xiu said seriously, "Tomorrow Sword Art wasn't independently created by me. The so-called self-creation is actually just a rumor. The reason I can master the Tomorrow Sword Art is because of two people."

"Which two?" a student immediately asked curiously.

"Do you want to hear me tell a story or do you want to hear me talk about sword arts?" Ming Xiu said with a smile.

"Both!" Noticing Ming Xiu's good nature, many students jested.

"Then let's talk about sword arts first," Ming Xiu said as he began talking about sword arts.

Ming Xiu was already one of the few sword experts in the Federation. Although most of these students came from wealthy families and had seen many experts since they were young, they still listened with relish. Many of the things Ming Xiu said were very novel and different from what they had heard in the past.

The girl beside Zhou Wen listened attentively, her eyes filled with admiration for Ming Xiu.

However, Tsukuyomi felt bored after listening for a while. The anticipation she had for Ming Xiu was completely gone.

In fact, at the level of Tsukuyomi, Ming Xiu's realm was indeed much weaker. The things he said were completely unable to pique her interest.

"The famous Tomorrow Sword Art among humans is nothing much after all," Tsukuyomi said to Zhou Wen.

"It's indeed a little lacking." Zhou Wen nodded slightly.

Although Ming Xiu's realm was considered top-notch among humans, such a realm was still inferior to Zhou Wen's. Ming Xiu's realm had also improved more slowly than he had expected.

When the girl beside them heard their conversation, she immediately sized them up suspiciously and asked, "Are you guys students from Bright Prospects College or not?"

Without waiting for Zhou Wen to answer, the girl seemed to come to a realization. "I get it. You aren't students at Bright Prospects College, but like Professor Ming, you are tutors at Bright Prospects College. You are jealous of Professor Ming because of his popularity, right?"

With that said, the girl seemed to get where Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi were coming from. She reached out to pat Zhou Wen on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault that your talent and accomplishments aren't as good as others, but to speak ill of others behind their backs out of jealousy is not a good thing. I can understand your feelings. Seeing the gap between yourself and a genius grow bigger and bigger really makes one feel despair. However, one has to be honest or one will easily suffer a beating. Many of the students here are fans of Professor Ming."

Zhou Wen looked around and realized that there were indeed many students glaring at the two of them. Their conversation had already incited public anger.

Zhou Wen smiled and didn't say another word. However, Tsukuyomi didn't have the mindset of a human, nor did she care what humans thought. She continued, "The sword art is indeed very ordinary. I'm just telling the truth."

The Tomorrow Sword Art is very ordinary? When the students beside them heard this evaluation, they were even more certain that Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen were jealous of Ming Xiu.

That was a sword art that had once killed a Terror-grade creature. If such a sword art was considered ordinary, then were the sword arts they cultivated even called sword arts?

All the students glared at Tsukuyomi. If it wasn't because of her beauty, they probably would have spat at her.

The girl beside them had already confirmed that Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen were teachers from Bright Prospects College. They were jealous of Ming Xiu, so she decided to ignore them.

Some of the more radical students were eager to teach Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen a lesson.

Unfortunately, this was a venue on campus. They definitely couldn't get into a brawl. This, in a way, saved their lives. If they really dared to rush forward, even if the tutors and the school's leaders attacked together, they wouldn't be able to escape being completely wiped out.

Thankfully, Tsukuyomi didn't say anything else. Instead, she got up and prepared to leave the venue. She really seemed bored.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to get up and leave with her. He also knew that leaving now was the best choice. Otherwise, if those students really angered Tsukuyomi, the outcome would be unimaginable.

Upon seeing Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi leave, the students thought that they had left in embarrassment, so they ignored them.

The commotion attracted Ming Xiu's attention. When Ming Xiu saw Zhou Wen's figure, his body immediately trembled as an unbelievable look of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Wen felt Ming Xiu's gaze and turned his head to nod at him.

Understanding Zhou Wen's intentions, Ming Xiu held back his surprise and nodded in response. He stood on the podium and continued lecturing.

After leaving the venue, the two of them strolled around other places in the school. It only left Tsukuyomi very disappointed. She originally imagined that she could learn more of humanity's scientific knowledge and technological products.

To her surprise, the school was filled with people teaching Essence Energy Arts and Essence Energy Skills. It was rare to see high-tech subjects.

In fact, ever since dimensional creatures broke through the restrictions on a large scale, humans had no choice but to retreat into dimensional zones. The importance of physics, biology, and other subjects had declined greatly. Very few people focused on studying related subjects. Most of them only completed the compulsory classes in order to pass the tests. Most of their energy was spent on cultivation and hunting dimensional creatures.

"It's boring. Let's go." After circling around, Tsukuyomi was already a little sick of it. Furthermore, she didn't have the interest from before. She didn't wish to stay here any longer. This was far from the school she had imagined.

"I'm meeting a friend. Let's wait a while. Let's have a break over there," Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the flower bed not far away.

"That Swordsman Tomorrow is your friend?" Tsukuyomi seemed to have realized something. The silent communication between the two of them hadn't escaped her notice.

"Yes." Zhou Wen didn't plan on hiding it. He knew that he definitely couldn't hide his prior actions from Tsukuyomi.

If he hadn't signaled to Ming Xiu just now, Ming Xiu might have jumped down from the podium. That would have been even worse.

The two of them sat down on the flower bed. It was rather quiet nearby.

"Your strength and realm are much stronger than that Swordsman Tomorrow. Why is he so famous, but those students don't recognize you?" Tsukuyomi asked in puzzlement.

"I don't like fame," Zhou Wen said with a shrug.

Just as Tsukuyomi was about to say something, she saw a few students walking over. Furthermore, they were looking around as though they were searching for something.

"Why are you here? Did you see Professor Ming?" The girl who had been sitting beside Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi was among them. When she saw the two of them, her eyes lit up as she ran over with a few students.

She believed that Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi were Ming Xiu's colleagues. Ming Xiu had previously headed in their direction and was likely looking for them. If she followed them, she might be able to encounter Ming Xiu.

She also felt that she had an obligation to let Ming Xiu know that the two of them were speaking ill of him behind his back. She wanted him to be careful of Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi.

In her eyes, Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi were scheming b*tches who acted differently on the surface. The kind and adorable Ming Xiu must have been fooled by them. He didn't know their true colors and treated them as friends. Who knew if he might be secretly harmed by them in the future.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should let Ming Xiu recognize these two scheming b*tches. Otherwise, he would inevitably suffer in the future.

Just as this was on her mind, she saw Ming Xiu walk over. This made the girl feel that her deduction was correct.

The girls surrounded him, wanting to tell Ming Xiu about the two scheming b*tches.

However, Ming Xiu's figure flashed and passed through them. He ignored them and arrived in front of Zhou Wen.

"Coach, I finally get to see you again. I've missed you so much!" Ming Xiu gave Zhou Wen a hug.

Although everyone knew that Zhou Wen was in Luoyang and Ming Xiu had seen him in Luoyang over the past five years, Ming Xiu knew that it wasn't the real Zhou Wen despite the person looking identical and flawless.

However, Ming Xiu kept this matter to himself and didn't say it out loud. He felt uneasy, uncertain about what had happened to Zhou Wen. Only when he saw Zhou Wen today did he finally relax.

The girls widened their mouths as they looked at Ming Xiu and Zhou Wen. Their expressions turned abnormally odd as an ominous thought surfaced in their minds.

Could it be that Professor Ming likes men...

Chapter 1147: Five Years in the Federation

"Um... Excuse me... Professor Ming... Is he your colleague?" a female classmate asked hopefully.

"No, he's my coach," Ming Xiu answered.

As he didn't know if Zhou Wen would expose his identity, he didn't mention his name.

"Coach?" Many scenes surfaced in the girls' minds.

Time: night; location: training room; characters: Professor Ming and male coach.

Professor Ming, who was only in sports attire, took off his top because it was too hot, revealing his sweaty, firm chest.

The shameless male coach leaned against Ming Xiu from behind with one hand on his waist and the other hand holding Ming Xiu's sword. He even pretended to correct Ming Xiu's actions, but...

It's not like that... It's definitely not like that... The girl from before didn't believe that Ming Xiu was such a person. She anxiously asked, "Professor Ming, your relationship with him isn't what we are thinking, right?"

Ming Xiu imagined that they didn't believe that Zhou Wen was his coach, so he said, "It's exactly it. Tomorrow Sword Art was named by Coach. Without Coach, there's no Tomorrow Sword Art."

Tomorrow Sword Art is actually a love memento! The girls felt as though they had been struck by lightning as they felt their beliefs crumble instantly.

Ming Xiu clearly wasn't in the mood to talk to them. He pulled Zhou Wen and said, "Coach, this isn't a place to talk. Let's find a place with no one around to have a good chat..."

No one around... Have a chat... The girls were petrified as an indescribable scene surfaced in their minds.

Zhou Wen followed Ming Xiu out of the flower garden. Tsukuyomi silently followed behind them without doing anything out of line.

Ming Xiu found a private lounge and used a Companion Beast with sound-proofing abilities. He looked at Tsukuyomi and saw Zhou Wen nod slightly. Only then did he chat with Zhou Wen and tell him about what had happened in the Federation over the past few years.

In the past five years, the dimension hadn't activated the cube rankings again, nor had it chosen a new King of Earth.

However, there were already quite a number of Guardians on Earth and they had established the League of Guardians. Many Senators were members of the League of Guardians.

Therefore, many Federation resolutions were influenced by the League of Guardians.

The previous president had died for some baffling reason. Many people suspected that it had something to do with the League of Guardians because the previous president was a member of the anti-Guardian faction.

Now, President Hui Haifeng didn't openly oppose Guardians, but he had been secretly working hard, hoping to escape the League of Guardians's influence on the Federation and the Senate.

However, from the looks of it, the efforts were fruitless.

Although Hui Haifeng had developed the Mythical Serum, it was very difficult to rely on it to advance to the Mythical stage. It was even more difficult to advance to the Terror grade using it.

The Federation was actually still controlled by the League of Guardians. There was no lack of powerful Terror-grade Guardians in the League of Guardians. In five years, many Guardians had grown stronger.

"You used the Mythical Serum?" Zhou Wen looked at Ming Xiu and saw that the body under his clothes was in a strange crystalline state, like jade.

Ming Xiu nodded slightly. "I'd rather become a monster than bow to those Guardians."

"What about Qiuyan?" Zhou Wen asked again.

"He also used the Mythical Serum. He's stronger than me," Ming Xiu answered.

Zhou Wen didn't know what to say. Although he knew that humans had the possibility of advancing to the Mythical stage, that path was too difficult. Apart from himself, Xia Jiuhuang was the only other person Zhou Wen knew that had taken this path.

However, it was difficult to say if Xia Jiuhuang had truly succeeded. After all, he had ultimately borrowed the power of the Guardian in the log. It was impossible to determine if he had advanced to the Mythical stage independently.

"Who's in charge of the League of Guardians now?" Zhou Wen asked.

"There are four Guardian Heavenly Kings in the League of Guardians. They are Blood Shaman, Cave Era, Hermit, and Great Skyfiend. They are all Terror-grade existences, but they aren't the true leaders of the League of Guardians. Up to now, no one has seen his true face. All we know is that the Guardians of the League of Guardians call him Immortal," Ming Xiu said.

After a pause, Ming Xiu continued, "Apart from the League of Guardians, there's also an organization that specializes in hunting Guardians. It's called the Holy Spirit Association. The entire organization is very mysterious and it's very difficult to find any traces of them. The president of the Holy Spirit Association is Ya, who previously occupied first place on the cube."

"From your tone, you seem to be very displeased with the Holy Spirit Association. It doesn't seem to be a problem for them to hunt Guardians, right?" Zhou Wen asked.

Ming Xiu sighed and said, "It's fine if it's just hunting Guardians, but they don't differentiate between good and bad. They don't care if the humans who contract with Guardians are good or bad either. They kill them all. They don't even spare the humans who contract with Guardians. I really can't agree with their actions. What's the difference between such indiscriminate killing and those devils?"

Zhou Wen shook his head and didn't say anything else. With Zhong Ziya's character, it was really in his character to do such a thing.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Wen asked about the situation of the people he cared about. Ming Xiu had always paid attention to them and told Zhou Wen one by one.

Ya'er was taken back to the An family by An Sheng and was pampered by Ouyang Lan. To everyone's surprise, even An Tianzuo doted on Ya'er greatly. Ya'er was now like a princess of the An family. She could have anything she wanted.

Li Xuan had been wandering around. Every time he returned to Luoyang, he would visit 'Zhou Wen' but in fact, he was visiting Ya'er.

As for who was impersonating the An family's Zhou Wen, Ming Xiu didn't know either. He only felt that it was extremely similar. He couldn't tell the difference from his appearance. His aura and abilities were also very similar to Zhou Wen's.

It was almost impossible to tell unless one was especially familiar with Zhou Wen.

The chick and antelope had also been staying at the An family's residence. The antelope hadn't changed much, but the chick now had the body of an eagle. The last time Ming Xiu went, he happened to see it burn a Mythical creature to death at Chess Mountain.

Feng Qiuyan had been cultivating with Ming Xiu all these years. With the Life Providences of Ming Xiu's Peerless Duo, the two of them improved rapidly.

Of course, it was mainly because their talent and efforts were rare in this world.

Wang Lu had officially taken over the Wang family. However, no matter where she went, she would take her sister, Wang Chan.

Wei Ge replaced Shen Yuchi as the Special Investigation Bureau's director-general. However, the Special Investigation Bureau had already severed ties with its original owner, the six families, becoming a blade in the hands of the League of Guardians.

Many people from the six families had joined the League of Guardians, but other than the Cape family, the other families were against the League of Guardians.

The Zhang family had a rule that as long as one contracted with a Guardian, they would be removed from the family tree.

As the two of them were chatting, Zhou Wen suddenly sensed that someone was secretly approaching their lounge. After carefully sensing it, he realized that it wasn't a pure person, but a human who had contracted a Guardian. At that moment, he was walking towards the lounge in Guardian armor.

Chapter 1148: Sword of Tomorrow

Translator: CKtalon

Zhou Wen frowned slightly. The Guardian was clearly targeting them, and it was highly likely that he was here for Ming Xiu.

Zhou Wen had been missing for many years and had just returned inland. Not many people knew him. Even if his enemies recognized him, they shouldn't have taken action so quickly. At the very least, they would investigate his current situation.

The Guardian didn't deliberately hide his aura. As he approached, Ming Xiu also sensed his arrival.

The Guardian stopped in front of the lounge door. Although the door was closed, it didn't affect his vision at all. He looked at Ming Xiu through the door and said, "Swordsman Tomorrow, I've heard so much about you. Do you dare accept my challenge?"

With the Guardian's arrival, many students also discovered him. They whispered in the distance but didn't dare approach. Clearly, they knew the Guardian.

"I wouldn't dare," Ming Xiu said with a smile.

"Tomorrow and Wind Trace are known as the two peerless masters of swords and sabers. No one can surpass them with swords and sabers. I also use swords and believe that my sword arts are alright. If I can't win in ten strikes, it will be considered my loss," the Guardian continued.

"You've already won." Ming Xiu was no longer the competitive youth from before. He spoke casually without any signs of being moved.

"I never expected the famous Swordsman Tomorrow to be a coward. You don't even have the courage to accept a challenge. From the looks of it, the so-called invincible Tomorrow Sword Art is just an exaggeration that serves as self-consolation for humans. A sword art created by humans ultimately can't live up to the required standards," the Guardian continued goading.

This time, Ming Xiu didn't back down. He didn't care about his reputation, but there were some things he absolutely couldn't allow others to taint.

"Coach, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon," Ming Xiu said to Zhou Wen before getting up to open the door.

The students watching from afar became excited when they saw Ming Xiu come out.

The Guardian's name was Judge, and the person he contracted was Buzz. He was a very famous Guardian of the Cape family and was also a member of the League of Guardians. Although he hadn't advanced to the Terror grade, he had already gained some fame in the Federation with the ability, Sword of Judgment.

Ming Xiu had once killed a branch leader of the League of Guardians and destroyed a plan hatched in the East District by the league. That Guardian was also a member of the Cape family.

Although there were rumors in the outside world that Ming Xiu had once killed a Terror-grade dimensional creature, no one had seen it with their own eyes. The League of Guardians had also analyzed Ming Xiu, believing that he was still at the Mythical stage and hadn't advanced to the Terror grade. The rumors of him killing a Terror creature previously weren't credible.

When Buzz saw Ming Xiu come out, his eyes lit up.

If he could defeat Ming Xiu, not only would he be able to avenge the Cape family, but his name would also resound across the Federation.

This was because in the battle when Zhou Wen was conferred the title of sovereign, humans were totally against Guardians. Even if they could accept a half-human like Ya, even if they were willing to treat the mutated humans who used the Mythical Serum as a part of humanity, they were unwilling to accept pure humans who contracted Guardians.

This made humans very resistant towards the League of Guardians. It also infuriated the humans who had contracted Guardians.

They had clearly obtained powerful strength, but they were unable to obtain the recognition of their fellow species.

For a human like Ming Xiu who used Mythical Serum, the fame and anticipation he obtained were things that a contractor like Buzz couldn't enjoy.

Even within the Cape family, these youths from the Royal Academy were more willing to worship Ming Xiu than Buzz and his Guardian.

Furthermore, people would only mention Judge when talking about him. Ordinary people couldn't even remember Buzz's name.

Buzz looked forward to the reaction of those who idolized Ming Xiu after he defeated him.

Ever since Ming Xiu accepted Royal College's invitation, Buzz had been looking forward to it. He had already asked a professional analyst in the League of Guardians to help him do the analysis. His ability had a certain restraining effect on Ming Xiu. As long as Ming Xiu didn't advance to the Terror grade, his chances of winning were more than 70%.

Ming Xiu's Tomorrow Sword Art gave people the illusion that they could block his sword, but if they really blocked it, they would realize that the strike came later than they imagined.

The Sword of Judgment could slice through illusions and aim right at the core. Even if Buzz made a mistake, the Sword of Judgment could accurately block Ming Xiu's sword. Therefore, Ming Xiu was at an absolute disadvantage against him.

"The Royal College's arena should be able to allow us to fight with our full strength," Buzz said as he looked at Ming Xiu.

"There's no need. Let's do it here." Ming Xiu reached out to grab his hilt.

"Here?" Buzz frowned slightly. This was the lounge. There were students and tutors nearby. With their strength, fighting here would probably affect many people.

After all, the Royal College was the Cape family's school. Buzz was also a member of the Cape family, so he naturally had his reservations. He thought that Ming Xiu wanted to use this to threaten him.

"Yes, right here," Ming Xiu said as he drew his sword.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, Buzz's pupils constricted. He still wanted to retreat, but he only took half a step before stopping.

As for Ming Xiu, he had already sheathed his sword. He turned around, pushed open the door, and entered the lounge behind him.

Only when Ming Xiu turned around and pushed open the door did the students and tutors not far away see the sword flash, piercing through Buzz's abdomen.

Only then did the wound on the standing Buzz's abdomen split open. Blood immediately gushed out. He hurriedly covered the wound with his hand as his face turned pale. Without a word, he turned around and left. He had to immediately treat his injuries or he would die there and then.

The students watched in a daze as Buzz retreated in a sorry state. When they looked at Ming Xiu again, they realized that he had already entered the lounge and could only see the tightly shut door.

"The sword kills before the flash is seen. This sword is just too fast."

"Swordsman Tomorrow lives up to his reputation."

"Judge can be considered a famous Guardian. He actually lost in one strike. It's too terrifying."

...

"Coach, sorry to have kept you waiting," Ming Xiu said apologetically when he returned to the lounge.

"Your Tomorrow Sword Art can be considered as having achieved some level of mastery," Zhou Wen said.

If anyone else said such words, they would only be considered arrogant. However, when Zhou Wen said it, Ming Xiu's eyes lit up.

"Coach, can you teach me how to proceed in the future?" Ming Xiu asked sincerely.

Before Zhou Wen could say a word, Tsukuyomi suddenly said, "There are plenty of tomorrows, each one coming after the other that tomorrow never comes. When actually is your tomorrow?"

When Ming Xiu heard that, he was stunned. His eyes stared straight ahead, but he wasn't looking at anything. He stood there motionless as though he had lost his focus.

Chapter 1149: Hermit

In the medical room of the Cape family, a man stood in front of the bed. His palm emitted a faint glow as he pressed it above the wound on Buzz's abdomen.

Buzz's wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only was it a physical wound, but even the wound on the Guardian armor rapidly healed. Soon, the wound completely vanished.

"Your Excellency, I'm incompetent. I'm sorry to trouble you to personally treat me." Buzz stood up and bowed.

The man retracted his palm and said indifferently, "It's not your fault. Ming Xiu's sword art has indeed reached an extremely high level. Among Mythical creatures, there aren't many who can withstand a single strike from him. This matter ends here. What happens in the future has nothing to do with you or the Cape family. Just do your job well."

"Your Excellency... Are you going to do it yourself?" Buzz's body trembled as he hurriedly asked.

He knew very well how terrifying this person was. Among the four heads of the League of Guardians, although Hermit's reputation wasn't as great as Cave Era and Blood Shaman, anyone who knew him knew that this person might be even more terrifying than the former two.

"Just do your job well," Hermit said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Buzz hurriedly bowed his head in agreement.

After speaking to Hermit, he happened to meet Beryl, who had come to visit him. Beryl gave Hermit a curious glance when Buzz hurriedly pulled her aside and introduced her to him. "Your Excellency, this is my niece, Beryl."

Hermit nodded slightly and left the hospital without looking at Beryl.

"Uncle Buzz, who is that person? You appear to be afraid of him?" Beryl asked curiously.

"Child, don't ask. Why are you here?" Buzz hurriedly stopped before looking in the direction Hermit had left. He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Hermit was gone.

"Uncle Buzz, you are really heartless. I came to see you out of kindness, but you are giving me such an attitude," Beryl said angrily.

"Alright, I surrender. I'm fine. I won't die. Don't worry," Buzz said dotingly.

"That Ming Xiu is really detestable. To think that I used to worship him so much. He actually wanted to kill you. Thankfully, you're fine," Beryl said.

Buzz shook his head and said, "He didn't try to kill me with that strike. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my abdomen that was injured."

"I see. In that case, he's not too bad." Beryl looked in the direction where Hermit had left. Seeing that there was no one there, she whispered, "Uncle Buzz, is that person from the League of Guardians? Seeing how afraid you are of him, he must be a high-ranking member of the League of Guardians, right?"

"I told you not to ask. In the future, you can't mention anything about the League of Guardians. Got it?" Buzz repeatedly exhorted Beryl.

Although Beryl agreed, she had something on her mind.

After leaving the hospital, Beryl found an excuse to return to school and ran straight for the lounge where Zhou Wen and company were.

The seated Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi were chatting in the lounge while Ming Xiu stood there motionless for quite some time.

Due to Tsukuyomi's words, Ming Xiu seemed to have had an epiphany. The strength in his body was undergoing a tumultuous change.

This was an extremely dangerous moment, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to guard him and not let anyone disturb him.

Just as he was chatting with Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen suddenly sensed someone walking towards the lounge. Furthermore, the footsteps were rushed. He used Truth Listener to carefully scan the area and realized that the person was the girl they had met a few times on campus.

"Professor Ming, are you there?" Beryl came to the door and knocked anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen opened the door and asked.

"Leave quickly. The people from the League of Guardians want to kill Professor Ming," Beryl immediately whispered when she saw Zhou Wen.

"Weren't they here earlier?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Uncle Buzz only wanted to defeat Professor Ming. He definitely didn't have the intention to kill anyone. However, the upper echelons of the League of Guardians are different. They want Professor Ming's life. It's best you leave quickly and quietly. Don't let anyone discover you. I think he will take into account our Cape family and won't attack you on campus. You have to be careful once you leave..." Before Beryl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

"Why would I take into account the Cape family?" Hermit's voice made Beryl shiver. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure walking down the long corridor.

He was wearing something like a cloak. Although it didn't completely cover his face, his face remained indiscernible.

Hermit walked over. His speed wasn't fast, but his gait seemed to have a unique rhythm. Every step seemed to be in cadence with the beating of one's heart, making them feel flustered as their heart raced.

Beryl took two steps back in fright as Zhou Wen pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her behind him.

"I've never met you before. What's your name?" Zhou Wen asked when he found the person unfamiliar. He definitely hadn't seen him before.

"The moment I contracted with the Guardian, my name became meaningless. The Guardian's name is my name. You can call me Hermit," Hermit said as he walked.

"Hermit... He's one of the four Heavenly Kings of the League of Guardians..." Beryl exclaimed softly as her face turned pale.

There were more than four Terror-grade existences in the League of Guardians, but the four Heavenly Kings were the most terrifying. Even the members of the six families felt fear just from the mention of their names.

Beryl finally knew why Buzz had forbidden her from asking. With this person around, even if the head of the Cape family personally came, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him from killing.

"You aren't his match. Run..." Beryl turned around to urge Ming Xiu to escape, but she saw Ming Xiu standing there motionless as though he hadn't heard her.

Beryl wanted to walk over, but she was stopped by Tsukuyomi.

"He can't move now unless you want him to die," Tsukuyomi said indifferently.

Beryl was immediately stunned. She carefully observed Ming Xiu and realized that something was amiss with him.

"Could he be breaking through?" Beryl said with a complicated expression.

"Yes," Tsukuyomi answered affirmatively.

"What should we do? Why does it have to be at this time?" Beryl was anxious and at a loss.

"We'll leave after he breaks through," Tsukuyomi said.

"How can we wait until then?" Beryl didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If they could wait, she wouldn't be reeling with anxiety.

They could wait, but Hermit wouldn't.

Beryl turned to look outside. To her surprise, Hermit had stopped outside the door and didn't rush in.

"Hermit? I've never heard of you. What are you doing here?" When Beryl heard Zhou Wen's words, she nearly fainted.

To her, provoking Hermit in such a manner was equivalent to him hanging himself in front of Death.

Chapter 1150: Ming Xiu's Coach

Hermit sized up Zhou Wen with a frown. The more he looked at Zhou Wen, the more familiar he found him. It was as though he had seen him somewhere before.

However, if it was someone he had seen before, Hermit was very confident that his memory wouldn't forget him.

Furthermore, to be able to be so calm and composed in front of him wasn't something an ordinary person could do. After all, his entire body's pulse resonated with the heavens and the earth. It was impossible for an ordinary person to face him so easily.

It was even more impossible to forget such a person.

This couldn't be blamed on Hermit not recognizing Zhou Wen. It was because the person impersonating Zhou Wen had slowly changed his temperament, appearance, and figure over the past five years.

As it was a subtle change accumulated over time, with slight adjustments each time, it made people slowly begin to recognize that that was how Zhou Wen ought to be.

Now that the real Zhou Wen had appeared, coupled with the changes in his appearance and temperament over the past five years, it was difficult for others to associate him with 'Zhou Wen' unless they were very familiar with him.

Hermit had only seen Zhou Wen's pictures and videos in the past. To be able to sense that he was familiar was already testament to his acumen.

Hermit couldn't tell Zhou Wen's origins, nor could he tell from his clothes and the things on him. Therefore, he asked, "How may I address you?"

"My name isn't important. What's important is who I am," Zhou Wen said.

"Who are you?" Hermit was very patient as he asked again.

"I'm Ming Xiu's coach," Zhou Wen answered seriously.

"So what?" Hermit stared at Zhou Wen and pressed his middle finger on his thumb. Strength secretly gathered between his two fingers.

"So if you are here for Ming Xiu, you can return now," Zhou Wen said.

Beryl wrote Zhou Wen off as crazy when she heard that. His tone made it seem as though he didn't think much of Hermit. It was as though as long as he was around, Hermit couldn't harm Ming Xiu at all.

Hermit's gaze turned sharp as he stared coldly at Zhou Wen and said, "It's fine if you want me to return, but it depends on whether you are capable of enforcing that."

With that said, the fingers in Hermit's sleeve moved.

After all, he was one of the four heads of the League of Guardians. If he was scared off by a few words from the other party, how could he still have a foothold in the League of Guardians?

However, Hermit didn't plan on fighting Zhou Wen head-on. In fact, that wasn't his specialty.

As Hermit flicked his finger, an invisible particle flew towards Zhou Wen.

Hermit was best at micro powers. In this era, many people pursued greater and stronger things. Giant monsters that resembled dragons received the attention of most people. They yearned to possess such powerful strength.

However, it was different for Hermit. Although he also pursued becoming stronger, his pursuit was towards miniaturization.

"What determines strength and weakness are often trivial things." This had always been Hermit's belief. In fact, he had never been wrong.

Relying on his micro powers, Hermit had defeated many powerful opponents. Some of his opponents' strengths were not inferior to his, but even if their strengths were comparable, his micro powers gave him a huge advantage.

A power that was so tiny that it was invisible to the Terror grade could erupt with terrifying power once it entered a body. It was impossible to guard against.

This micro crystal was so small that it was at the nanometer scale. Even Terror-grade creatures might not be able to see its existence because it was just too small.

However, such a tiny micro crystal didn't even need to enter his body. All it needed to do was approach Zhou Wen and the power that erupted would be enough to severely injure a Terror-grade creature.

Although Zhou Wen was casually standing in front of the door, he had engraved his Life Wheel with the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, Great Brahma, and Godfiend Era. He just didn't project them into existence.

The enhancement that Great Brahma gave Zhou Wen was enough for him to see a matter at the quark scale. Although Hermit's micro crystal was tiny, it couldn't escape Zhou Wen's senses.

The micro crystal flew towards Zhou Wen's mouth, and just as it was about to enter his mouth to blast open his head...

Zhou Wen didn't move despite the micro crystal reaching his lips. Hermit didn't feel any joy. Instead, he felt a little uneasy.

In the next moment, Zhou Wen opened his mouth as a clown face appeared over his face. With a strange smile, he swallowed the micro crystal.

The unease in Hermit's heart intensified as he retreated at full speed, but it was still too late.

The micro crystal that had been devoured by Clown Mask strangely appeared behind him. As he retreated, he immediately slammed into the micro crystal, causing it to explode.

Bam!

One of Hermit's arms was blasted into a bloody mist. This was still under Hermit's extremely fast reaction and control of the micro crystal. Otherwise, his entire body would have been blown to smithereens.

Hermit held his bleeding arm and didn't say a word. He turned around and attempted to escape.

"If you have a death wish, continue fleeing," Zhou Wen said casually without any intention of chasing after Hermit.

However, Hermit didn't escape. He stopped in his tracks and didn't dare take another step.

"Whose order was it to kill Ming Xiu?" Zhou Wen asked.

"There wasn't an order. Ming Xiu is an enemy of the League of Guardians to begin with. There's no need for an order," Hermit said.

"Does that mean you want to kill Ming Xiu?" Zhou Wen asked again.

"You could say that," Hermit said through gritted teeth.

"Then stay here and guard Ming Xiu. If Ming Xiu lives, you live. If Ming Xiu dies, you die too. This shall continue until Ming Xiu gives you permission to leave." Zhou Wen turned around and returned to the lounge.

Beryl watched Zhou Wen walk back in a daze as though she had seen a ghost. She couldn't help but take two steps back as she felt horror.

She even saw the single-armed Hermit standing outside the door. He really didn't leave—he just stood guarding the door.

"You... Who are you?" Beryl looked at Zhou Wen in surprise and finally couldn't help but ask.

She didn't even see Zhou Wen take action. It was as though Zhou Wen had just stood there and exchanged a few words with Hermit when one of Hermit's arms suddenly exploded.

Then, because of one sentence from Zhou Wen, Hermit, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the League of Guardians, actually stood at the door as a guard. This made her feel like she was living in a dream.

"Ming Xiu's coach." Zhou Wen didn't wish to say his name because there was still another Zhou Wen in the An family.

"You... You..." Beryl repeated 'you' for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything to say. Or perhaps she wanted to ask too many questions that she didn't know where to start.

She suddenly recalled that Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi had claimed that Ming Xiu's sword art was very ordinary. Back then, Beryl had thought that they were jealous of Ming Xiu, but now, she suddenly realized that they were speaking the truth.

Who is he? Is there such a powerful existence among humans? I don't think I saw him use a Guardian, nor did I see any signs of dimensional creatures on him. Could he be a pure-blooded human? Impossible. It's impossible for him to be a pure-blooded human. He must have hidden it well and fused with a Guardian or dimensional creature. I just can't tell... Beryl looked at Zhou Wen and then at Hermit standing outside the door. Everything was so surreal.

Chapter 1151: Combination Ability

Hermit's injured arm didn't recover the entire time. In fact, Hermit was good at healing. He was the one who had previously treated Buzz's injuries.

Nevertheless, his injuries had yet to recover. Although the bleeding from his severed arm wasn't fast, the drops of blood slowly dripped to the ground. Clearly, it hadn't healed.

Hermit felt as though a strange force was constantly corroding his wound, preventing it from healing itself. He didn't dare escape because of the existence of this power.

Hermit had a vague feeling that the force was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Although few people had seen Hermit's true appearance, a person with a severed arm standing at the door of the lounge and bleeding profusely attracted the attention of many students. The news quickly reached the Cape family.

Buzz's heart skipped a beat when he heard that and his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly rushed to school.

He didn't dare go to the lounge directly. Instead, he checked the situation through the surveillance cameras and watched the previous surveillance footage.

After he had seen everything, the shock in his heart was unimaginable.

Ordinary students didn't know who Hermit was or what kind of existence he was, but Buzz knew very well.

Despite being the powerful and terrifying Hermit, the young man didn't even move his hand. Just by looking at Hermit, he had blasted off one of Hermit's arms, forcing him to obediently stand at the door as a guard. What terrifying strength was this?

Due to Clown Mask being at the Terror grade, ordinary humans couldn't see it, much less the recording. Therefore, Buzz didn't see Clown Mask appear. All he saw was Hermit's arm suddenly explode for no reason.

Who is he? Ming Xiu actually has such a teacher? It's no wonder he could rapidly rise in just a few years. Who is this person? He definitely didn't contract a Guardian. He doesn't look like he has fused with a Guardian or dimensional creature... The more Buzz observed the situation, the more alarmed he became.

After the observation, the clothes on Buzz's back were drenched. He was already somewhat glad that Ming Xiu had injured him and not the other way around.

If he had angered such an existence, he didn't know what the outcome would have been. Just the thought of a person that even Hermit didn't dare disobey was terrifying.

Thankfully, Beryl has hit it off with that person. He shouldn't make things difficult for our Cape family, right? Buzz didn't dare be negligent. He immediately got someone to seal the area near the lounge, preventing students and teachers from going there.

Of course, he stayed far away and pretended not to know anything.

Beryl stood in the lounge, feeling uneasy. She couldn't sit or stand. Her palms were sweaty from nervousness.

In her eyes, Ming Xiu was already an extremely powerful existence. Hermit was an extremely terrifying expert, but in front of this young man who looked to be in his twenties, they didn't seem as grandiose as she imagined.

So Professor Ming actually has such a powerful coach. It's no wonder he's so strong. However, this person doesn't look much older than Professor Ming. Could it be that he's actually an old monster that's over a hundred years old despite looking young? That's right. That must be it. Beryl thought to herself.

Zhou Wen ignored Beryl as he studied his Essence Energy Art.

Previously, he had circulated the Small Perfection of Wisdom, Godfiend Era, and Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder at the same time. The Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder had always taken on a supportive role, so there weren't many changes.

However, when Zhou Wen used Great Brahma and Clown Mask at the same time, there was an unexpected change.

Zhou Wen kept using Great Brahma to lock onto the micro crystal. At the same time, he used Clown Mask's spatial teleportation ability to teleport the micro crystal behind Hermit.

The powers of Great Brahma and Clown Mask acted on the micro crystal at the same time, producing a special effect. Even Zhou Wen never expected the two powers to combine.

After Clown Mask's spatial ability combined with Great Brahma's karmic sinflames, it formed a spatial coordinate on the injured Hermit's arm wound. Zhou Wen could directly teleport his powers there without any intermediate processes.

However, the only power that could teleport there was Brahma's karmic sinflames—nothing else.

Even so, it was already extremely useful. As long as he was hit by Zhou Wen's strike and his coordinates marked, the subsequent karmic sinflames could be acted on his wounds until he died.

Zhou Wen was experimenting to see if there was any possibility of further fusion between Clown Mask and Great Brahma. If they could cooperate further, they might be able to produce even more terrifying powers.

Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, Ming Xiu's body suddenly emitted a powerful sword intent fluctuation. Furthermore, his body began to undergo a strange transformation.

His skin, that was originally like milky-white jade, became even more crystalline. A strange energy fluctuation gradually spread from his body.

Slowly, Ming Xiu's body became more and more transparent before disappearing from sight. The sword intent also vanished.

Eh! Zhou Wen looked in surprise at the spot where Ming Xiu had vanished.

He could sense that Ming Xiu had reached the stage of Terror transformation, but even so, Zhou Wen should have been able to see him with his Wheel of Destiny activated.

Strangely, Zhou Wen couldn't see Ming Xiu. He seemed to have really vanished.

However, Ming Xiu soon appeared in his vision again. At that moment, Ming Xiu had returned to his normal human form. He was even more normal than before.

"Coach, this is your wife, right? Ma'am is really amazing. She really enlightened me with one sentence. I finally understood the profundity of time and completely absorbed the Mythical Serum. If it wasn't for her, I don't know when I would have been able to completely absorb it. Coach is indeed a coach. Not only is he strong himself, but even his wife is so strong..." Ming Xiu said excitedly.

Just as Zhou Wen was about to explain, Tsukuyomi smiled and handed a sword to Ming Xiu. "Take this as a gift from me then."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Ming Xiu happily received the sword. He didn't really think that the sword was good, but he was just happy.

However, when he truly experienced the power of the sword in the future, he would realize how precious it was.

"Ming Xiu, you have to thank this student. She took a huge risk to inform you." Zhou Wen hurriedly changed the topic, unwilling to harp on this matter.

Ming Xiu looked at Beryl in puzzlement, unsure what had happened.

Zhou Wen recounted what had happened. After Ming Xiu heard that, he thanked Beryl.

As for Hermit, Ming Xiu didn't do anything to him. Instead, after getting Zhou Wen's permission, he released him.

Zhou Wen could roughly guess what Ming Xiu was thinking, so he didn't ask further. However, after seeing Ming Xiu, he missed his friends and family even more.

Looking at Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and decided to take her back to Luoyang.

Chapter 1152: Divorce Is Very Common Nowadays

Translator: CKtalon

In the An family in Luoyang, a guard reported to An Tianzuo in the study. "Overseer, Miss Ya'er has been cooped up in her room the entire day. She is not responding to Nanny Yu at all. Madam isn't home, so Nanny Yu is afraid something will happen. Overseer, she would like to consult you on what to do?"

"Why isn't she eating again? Didn't I tell you that she likes desserts?" An Tianzuo said as he got up.

"Nanny Yu said that she bought all the best desserts in Luoyang and even hired the best dessert chefs. However, Miss Ya'er won't eat anything. She didn't eat anything last night either, much less come out today," the guard said.

"She hasn't eaten anything since last night. How can she..." As An Tianzuo spoke, he walked out of the study and quickly walked towards Ya'er's yard.

"Ya'er, why didn't you eat today? Is the food at home not to your liking? Shall I take you out to eat?" An Tianzuo knocked on the door and said gently.

"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat." The door creaked open and a girl about seven or eight years old walked out. She was as beautiful as a doll, but her expression was cold. It didn't look like an expression a girl her age should have.

"You have to eat a little even if you don't want to. You are still growing, so you have to eat more. If you are sick of Luoyang's desserts, I'll invite the famous dessert masters from the south over. They will make desserts that will be more delicious..." An Tianzuo said with a smile.

Ya'er shook her head. "Uncle, I'm really not hungry. I don't want to eat."

"How can you not be hungry? Wait in the living room. Uncle will personally cook something delicious for you. My signature dish. I guarantee you that you will like it," An Tianzuo said as he headed for the kitchen.

Ya'er sat on the sofa in the living room and held her chin in boredom.

Although the An family's life was very comfortable and everyone treated her well, she still liked the life of adventuring with Zhou Wen.

Suddenly, a figure flashed and two figures appeared in the living room. They were Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi.

Zhou Wen really couldn't shake off Tsukuyomi, but seeing that she wasn't a dimensional creature that killed at will, after much hesitation, he took her back to Luoyang.

As he didn't know why the An family had created a fake Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen didn't directly walk through the main door. He decided to teleport to the spot where he had eaten with Ouyang Lan to see if he could bump into her.

After completing the teleport, he didn't see Ouyang Lan. Instead, he saw Ya'er sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Although Ya'er was much older than before, he could still make out her former appearance. Furthermore, she had a unique aura that others couldn't sense. Zhou Wen had spent a lot of time with Ya'er, so he was very familiar with her unique aura.

When Ya'er saw Zhou Wen, she was first taken aback before she jumped up from the sofa in pleasant surprise and threw herself into Zhou Wen's arms.

"You said you would take care of me!" Ya'er said angrily before opening her mouth and biting Zhou Wen's neck.

Zhou Wen felt a pain in his neck, but he didn't dodge. However, Ya'er didn't really want to injure him. All she did was leave behind teeth mark without tearing his skin.

"It wasn't what I wanted either, but I was locked up by someone else. I couldn't come back to find you even if I wanted," Zhou Wen explained.

"Who was it?" Ya'er bit her lip and asked.

"We'll talk about that later." Zhou Wen stroked Ya'er's head. "You've grown taller and grown up. You've become even more beautiful and adorable."

Ya'er narrowed her eyes like a kitten and leaned her hair on Zhou Wen's hand. She rubbed it gently as though she enjoyed his touch.

"Ya'er, Uncle has made you..." An Tianzuo walked in with a bowl of piping hot glutinous rice balls. He was wearing a white shirt and military pants. He also wore an apron and was covered in flour. There was even a pinch of flour at the tip of his nose. He looked completely different from his usual dignified appearance.

However, when he saw Zhou Wen hugging Ya'er, the gentleness on his face immediately vanished as though he had instantly returned to the cold and arrogant Overseer An.

However, he was wearing an apron and holding a bowl. His face was covered in flour, and his bearing was rather inferior to his usual self. He didn't look as arrogant as he usually was.

Seeing Zhou Wen turn his head, An Tianzuo immediately pulled off his apron and threw it at the guard beside him. He placed the bowl of glutinous rice balls on the table beside him and wiped his face. His expression instantly turned arrogant and cold.

"When did you return?" An Tianzuo asked Zhou Wen coldly.

"Just," Zhou Wen answered.

An Tianzuo said coldly, "Since you're back, stay at home for the next few days and don't cause trouble."

With that said, An Tianzuo glanced at Ya'er, who was in Zhou Wen's arms with a smile on her face. He turned around and left. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment and said, "Ya'er hasn't eaten much in the past two days. I've prepared a bowl of glutinous rice balls for her in the kitchen. Give it to her. To throw a child at home and be away for so long without returning. Aren't you afraid the child will go bad?"

With that said, An Tianzuo walked out of the living room without looking back.

After leaving the living room, An Tianzuo instructed the guards beside him, "Give An Sheng a message. Tell him that the person is back."

"Does the order need to be transmitted?" the guard asked.

"There's no need. He knows what to do." An Tianzuo took a few steps and seemed to recall something. He said to the guard beside him, "Go to the kitchen and get a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice for Ya'er. Heat it to 43 degrees."

"Yes, Overseer." The guard accepted the order and left.

Zhou Wen sat on the sofa and watched Ya'er eat the glutinous rice balls. Having not seen her for five years, Ya'er's language skills had improved significantly. Although she still didn't like to speak, her occasional words weren't as simple and stiff as before.

Zhou Wen could also tell that Ya'er's personality had become more cheerful. Clearly, the An family had taken good care of her in the past five years.

Ya'er had a good appetite perhaps due to Zhou Wen's return. She quickly finished the bowl of glutinous rice balls and licked her lips as though she hadn't had enough. She felt that the glutinous rice balls today were especially delicious.

With Zhou Wen by her side, Ya'er didn't wish to speak. As long as she was by Zhou Wen's side, she felt at ease and didn't need to say much.

However, Ya'er's gaze at Tsukuyomi seemed to carry some hostility.

"She's Tsukuyomi, my friend. This is Ya'er, who's no different from my sister." Zhou Wen hurriedly introduced the two of them to prevent any trouble.

"I'm not an ordinary friend. I'm Zhou Wen's wife," Tsukuyomi deliberately emphasized her identity as she said with a smile.

"Divorce is very common nowadays," Ya'er said expressionlessly.

Chapter 1153: Battling the Planet Devourer Again

Their gazes met in the air as though sparks were flying.

"Young Master Wen, you're back." An Sheng came in at the right time, interrupting Tsukuyomi and Ya'er's staring showdown.

"Ah Sheng." Zhou Wen was overjoyed. On the one hand, it was a long-awaited reunion, but on the other hand, he was grateful for An Sheng's timely arrival. If they were to really fight, Zhou Wen was afraid that Luoyang would be reduced to ruins.

He got An Sheng to sit down and have a chat, but Zhou Wen didn't ask about the fake Zhou Wen. An Sheng didn't say anything about him either. All he did was talk about his family.

At night, just before Zhou Wen went to sleep, he found a bookshelf in his room. Zhou Wen pulled out a book to take a look. It recorded a lot of information that Zhou Wen wanted to know. An Sheng had secretly sent him a message about the book.

After some reading, Zhou Wen roughly knew why the An family had a fake Zhou Wen.

After Zhou Wen had been imprisoned, Wang Mingyuan secretly visited the An family and told them that Zhou Wen would go missing for five years. He got them to create a fake Zhou Wen in these five years to replace Zhou Wen. They were not to let others discover any flaws.

However, there were no records of the person impersonating Zhou Wen.

How did Teacher know that I would escape in five years? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled. This was because his awakening and escape seemed to be a coincidence, but the time was identical to Wang Mingyuan's inference. This made Zhou Wen suspect if his escape was a coincidence.

However, Wang Mingyuan was now in the dimension, so his guesses were useless.

The book contained information on another thing that Zhou Wen wanted to know. Ouyang Lan had been investigating the former principal's expedition team for the past five years.

She had made some discoveries some time ago and Ouyang Lan had already rushed to Netherworld City. She wanted to find Chu He, who was trapped there. She wanted to confirm some of her guesses.

If those guesses were confirmed, the disappearance of the expedition team was very likely related to the Trajectory Holy Temple of the six Holy Temples.

Zhou Wen was shocked when he found out that Ouyang Lan had gone to Netherworld City.

Ignoring the fact that there were break-out dimensional creatures everywhere outside, Netherworld City itself was an extremely terrifying place. It wasn't easy to enter and come out alive.

"I've told you about the situation in Netherworld City. You should know how dangerous it is. Why didn't you stop Sis Lan?" Zhou Wen sent a message to An Sheng.

Soon, An Sheng replied: "You know Madam's temper. Even Overseer couldn't change her mind. However, you don't have to worry too much. Overseer sent many experts from the Sunset Army to accompany her. If Netherworld City were to be explored, Madam wouldn't be the one entering personally. With the information you gave, there shouldn't be much danger."

"I'm just afraid that the present Netherworld City is different from the past." Zhou Wen knew that Netherworld City wasn't simple. If he could suffer all the punishments, he would be able to see the real Netherworld City.

"What do you mean?" An Sheng asked in puzzlement.

Zhou Wen told An Sheng what City Lord Netherworld had said. An Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "Don't worry. No one among them can withstand all the punishments. Nothing will happen."

An Sheng explained the current situation of the Federation to Zhou Wen. It was similar to what Zhou Wen had previously gathered. Earth could now be divided into five factions.

The Federation President and some of his supporters, the League of Guardians, the Holy Spirit Association, the overseas factions, and the local wealthy families like the An family.

There were also some powerful freelance hunters, among which some were very powerful existences. However, compared to these large factions, an individual's strength was still relatively weak.

The six hero families didn't decline, nor were they completely controlled by the League of Guardians. Their branches extended into the various factions. Even if one side collapsed, the six hero families wouldn't be completely destroyed.

In fact, there were many members of the six families in the League of Guardians. Although the Zhang family nominally objected to their family members entering the League of Guardians, there were still some Zhang family members who joined the League of Guardians. No one knew if those people had really been expelled from the Zhang family.

"This is the foundation of a large family. As long as their model for survival isn't destroyed, as long as the supply chain for resources persists, it doesn't matter even if a few geniuses and powerhouses die. They have the ability to create more geniuses and powerhouses. All they need is time," Ah Sheng said.

Zhou Wen knew that Ah Sheng was right. The reason the six families were strong wasn't because a particular genius was strong, but because they already had a complete model for the family's survival. They could obtain endless resources and nurture all sorts of geniuses. To overthrow such a family, killing a few geniuses and powerhouses was useless. Unless the entire family was thrown into a situation of certain doom, they would eventually rise again.

Just like the Cape family, many geniuses had died because of Zhou Wen, but they remained standing.

According to An Sheng, the antelope and Chick were by the fake Zhou Wen's side. Only by doing so could they fool the people who were paying attention to Zhou Wen. Therefore, they weren't in the An family, but guarding Chess Mountain with the fake Zhou Wen.

After chatting with An Sheng, Zhou Wen took out his mysterious phone and entered the game again.

Snow Valley's Gu Mother hadn't respawned. Zhou Wen didn't choose to head to the Sapphire Sky either. Instead, he chose to head to the Endless Sea of Stars dungeon to see if he could kill the Planet Devourer.

He also farmed the Constellation Sea, but he still failed to obtain the final twenty-eight Lunar Mansions skill.

After leaving the range of the Constellation Sea, Zhou Wen summoned Banana Fairy and Demonic Neonate. Not long after, he sensed spatial fluctuations as the gigantic Planet Devourer appeared above them.

The jellyfish-like Planet Devourer emitted intense starlight, but ordinary people couldn't see it.

In its body, there was a vortex that resembled a black hole. Everything that approached it was sucked into the black hole.

The moment the Planet Devourer descended, the terrifying suction force descended.

Banana Fairy directly used the Supreme Yin Wind at the Planet Devourer. With the augmentation of Three Realms' Best Wind, this surge was extremely terrifying.

However, when the Supreme Yin Wind reached the Planet Devourer, it was sucked in by the black hole in its body.

Banana Fairy fanned out Supreme Yang Wind next, but the outcome was the same. They were all sucked into the black hole.

Banana Fairy frowned slightly. The fan in her hand which was transformed from the banana leaf showed a half Yin and half Yang state. At the instant she fanned at the Planet Devourer, Yin and Yang combined into one, transforming into Boundless wind that swept towards the Planet Devourer.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 1154: Singularity Universe

Boundless Wind swept toward the Planet Devourer, but it was unable to blow it away.

Its body was like a black hole. No matter what kind of force surged at it, it would be swallowed into the black hole. This had nothing to do with the strength of the force. This was the characteristic of the Planet Devourer.

Zhou Wen felt a headache come on. A dimensional creature with a black hole body couldn't be injured by typical forces. It would be useless no matter how powerful the attack was.

No wonder it can devour planets... Zhou Wen could only teleport with Banana Fairy to dodge the Planet Devourer's suction as he pondered over a solution to kill it.

The Planet Devourer was also spatially powerful. It constantly teleported with Zhou Wen, hoping to devour him.

Thankfully, Zhou Wen, who was wearing Clown Mask, could teleport infinitely. The Planet Devourer couldn't catch up to him.

With a thought, Zhou Wen teleported to a tiny planet. After the Planet Devourer teleported over, it devoured the tiny planet. Zhou Wen took this opportunity to teleport to another tiny planet.

Zhou Wen thought that since the Planet Devourer was a dimensional creature, surely it couldn't devour matter indefinitely. Therefore, if he could use these small planets to "feed" it, he might have a chance of finishing it off.

However, Zhou Wen soon realized that his idea was ridiculously wrong. After the Planet Devourer devoured the tiny planet, not only did it not show any signs of being 'satiated,' but the range and suction force of the black hole increased.

Only then did Zhou Wen realize that he was backwards in his thinking. The more matter the Planet Devourer devoured, the stronger it became. It didn't seem like satiation was possible.

Since I can't satiate it, I'll starve it to death. With a thought, Zhou Wen teleported to a spot where there were fewer planets.

Teleportation required a large amount of Essence Energy. With the massive size of the Planet Devourer, the energy expended from teleportation was even more terrifying. After repeated teleportations, Zhou Wen could clearly sense that the Planet Devourer's black hole had weakened significantly. The suction range and strength were shrinking.

It's indeed effective! Zhou Wen was delighted as he continued wandering the Endless Sea of Stars with the Planet Devourer.

The Planet Devourer had expended quite a bit of energy. It suddenly stopped chasing after Zhou Wen and instead rushed towards a small, nearby planet. Clearly, it wanted to devour the small planet to replenish its energy.

Zhou Wen naturally couldn't let it do as it wished. He teleported to the tiny planet. The Clown Mask on his face emitted a strange aura as the surrounding space distorted.

Zhou Wen pressed his palm on the tiny planet, hoping to teleport it away.

Unfortunately, he quickly realized that although the Clown Mask was powerful spatially, it was still too difficult to teleport a small planet far away.

Before Zhou Wen could successfully teleport the tiny planet, the Planet Devourer had already devoured it. All Zhou Wen could do was teleport away.

It doesn't seem realistic to forcefully teleport planets away, but what if I use the teleportation ability of the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art? Zhou Wen didn't give up on his plan as he thought of a way to achieve his goal.

Zhou Wen circulated the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art and engraved it on the Wheel of Destiny. It was a point, the Universe's singularity.

The singularity was the beginning of the universe, as well as the eternity of the universe. It looked like a point, but inside, it seemed to be a pocket universe with countless stars revolving.

Back when Zhou Wen condensed the Singularity Life Soul, he had already begun advancing to the Mythical stage. He hadn't had much time to study the ability of this Life Soul then.

After being trapped for five years, his mind had experienced more than a hundred years. Over the long years, Zhou Wen had gained a deep understanding of the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art and Singularity.

However, research was ultimately research. As he was trapped, he could only think about it without completing any verification. Therefore, Zhou Wen didn't know if he was right.

Now, in the Endless Sea of Stars, Zhou Wen could test his ideas.

With the power of Singularity Universe, Zhou Wen could freely traverse the tiny planets in the Endless Sea of Stars. However, he could only locate the tiny planets. He couldn't teleport easily like when he was using Clown Mask, but the teleportation distance was much further.

Zhou Wen landed on a tiny planet and attempted to use the power of Singularity Universe to teleport the tiny planet to another location.

However, the outcome wasn't that instantaneous. Although the star corresponding to the tiny planet in the Singularity Universe kept flickering, there was no movement.

The Planet Devourer had already caught up to him. Zhou Wen had no choice but to give up on the idea of teleporting the planet. He teleported to another planet.

However, Zhou Wen didn't totally give up. He continued trying again and again, believing that he would succeed.

Since this Essence Energy Art is called Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping, there's no reason why it can't shift a tiny planet... Sun-Swapping... Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something as his eyes lit up.

He tried again, but this time, he didn't just want to teleport this small planet. He wanted to swap it with another small planet.

In the Singularity Universe, two stars lit up. As the hands Zhou Wen used to press down on the tiny planet produced spatial fluctuations, the entire planet seemed to be affected.

Boom!

A powerful spatial energy fluctuation exploded from Singularity Universe, as though a universe had undergone a Big Bang. It instantly produced a strange pocket universe phantom that fused with Zhou Wen's body, giving him a strange feeling that the universe was him and he was the universe.

In the next second, an unbelievable thing happened. Spatial energy suddenly erupted. Then, the tiny planet under Zhou Wen's hands, with its main body composed of metal, instantly turned into a tiny stone planet. It was the one Zhou Wen had chosen to exchange with.

Holy sh*t, it really works. Then can I exchange Earth with other planets in real life? Let Earth leave the Milky Way? Zhou Wen imagined himself traveling with Earth in the universe.

However, on careful thought, it probably wasn't that easy.

When the Singularity Universe advanced to the Terror grade, it could only move such a tiny planet. The size of a small planet was about the size of a mountain. It was far inferior to Earth. It was probably not that easy to swap it with a real planet.

Furthermore, there were so many terrifying creatures and dimensional zones on Earth. It was impossible to teleport with so many terrifying things on it without expending energy.

Zhou Wen glanced at the blood-colored avatar's stats and realized that the Terror transformation condensed by the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art was called Singularity Universe. It was also an S-grade Terror transformation.

Up to now, Zhou Wen had already condensed four S-grade Terror forms of Great Brahma, Godfiend Era, Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, and Singularity Universe. However, his level was still at the Mythical stage, and his stats hadn't exceeded 81.

Chapter 1155: Double Terror Strength

The Singularity Universe's Terror transformation allowed Zhou Wen to obtain one of the abilities of Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping, but this ability could only be used via an exchange. He couldn't teleport the tiny planet away.

Sending one away and swapping to another planet that ended up being devoured by the Planet Devourer still allowed it to replenish its mass and be rejuvenated. This was clearly far from the outcome Zhou Wen wanted.

Is there no other way? Zhou Wen constantly gained insight into the power Singularity Universe gave him.

Zhou Wen realized that the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping technique didn't necessarily need a planet to be exchanged. He could exchange a planet with a paper ball. That was also possible.

However, with the current strength of Singularity Universe, he was still unable to achieve that. This was because the positioning was too vague. The smallest unit that the Singularity Universe could locate was a planet. It was impossible to locate a paper ball from afar, so there was naturally no way to do a swap.

Since I'm already at the Terror grade, shouldn't the resolution be raised? Even if I can't see a paper ball, I should still be able to locate a mountain or river! Zhou Wen felt somewhat depressed.

However, on second thought, Zhou Wen's heart stirred again.

Just the Singularity Universe definitely couldn't be that precise. After all, the Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Art was a rather macroscopic Essence Energy Art.

However, the power of the Godfiend Era was different. It was also spatial power, but the Godfiend Era was a spatial power with relatively high precision.

If I can use the power of Clown Mask and Singularity Universe at the same time like I can use Great Brahma and Clown Mask, what will the effects be? Will I be able to do some more precise location and exchange? With a thought, Zhou Wen circulated the two Terror form powers simultaneously.

Since he wasn't afraid of death in-game, there was no harm trying.

Bam!

Zhou Wen attempted to fuse the powers of the two Terror forms. The blood-colored avatar's body split apart and vanished. The game screen turned black as a notification popped up: 'Successful Suicide.'

Zhou Wen's face darkened as he thought to himself, How can this be considered suicide? I'm clearly donating my body for experimentation.

Although his attempt failed, Zhou Wen knew very well that this was only because he hadn't grasped the rhythm of the two fused Terror form powers. It didn't mean that they couldn't fuse.

Therefore, Zhou Wen began trying again, only to be notified that he had succeeded in his suicide.

Every death brought him some benefits. Zhou Wen knew that he wasn't far from success.

If I can make all nine Essence Energy Arts reach the Terror form and use all nine Terror forms of power simultaneously, what will happen? Zhou Wen wondered at the back of his mind.

After practicing hard for most of the night, Zhou Wen finally succeeded in fusing the two Terror form powers into one for the first time. Then, he attempted to teleport a tiny planet out.

However, when he pressed his palm on the planet, a black hole appeared and swallowed the planet.

The black hole also began devouring everything around it, nearly sucking the blood-colored avatar in. Thankfully, Zhou Wen reacted quickly and teleported out.

This was completely different from what Zhou Wen had expected. Clearly, the fused spatial powers hadn't developed in the direction Zhou Wen wanted. Instead, they had produced a black hole.

I wonder if I can deal with the Planet Devourer by pitting a black hole against a black hole? Just as Zhou Wen was thinking, he realized that the Planet Devourer had already descended on the small black hole he had created.

The Planet Devourer rushed towards the small black hole. After the two collided, not only did they not clash, but they fused into one, making the Planet Devourer even stronger.

That black hole betrayed me! Zhou Wen nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He knew that it was because his control of the fused Terror powers wasn't good enough. Furthermore, using a black hole to resist another black hole wasn't the right solution.

With no choice, Zhou Wen could only continue experimenting. Thankfully, he already had the experience of success, so everything went much smoother.

Zhou Wen quickly mastered the method to create a black hole. However, all the black holes he could create were miniature black holes. Furthermore, he needed enough external matter to support them.

Although this move was useless against the Planet Devourer, it was still very effective against other Terror creatures.

Zhou Wen continued his research. His main goal was to truly achieve sky-stealing and sun-swapping. He wanted to teleport the planet away without giving the Planet Devourer a chance to replenish its matter.

Zhou Wen wasn't able to complete his goal until morning, but he made some progress.

An Sheng sent a message early in the morning, telling Zhou Wen to temporarily stay in the An family residence and not go anywhere. Tonight, he could exchange identities with the fake Zhou Wen.

"Who's that Zhou Wen?" Zhou Wen replied.

"Guess." An Sheng replied.

"I've no idea." Zhou Wen thought to himself, Guess my ass! How would I know who it is?

However, on second thought, it wasn't easy to pretend to be him without revealing any flaws.

His signature Companion Beasts were unique. Furthermore, the person needed to have sufficient strength. Even with the chick and antelope as cover, it wouldn't be easy to find such a person.

"It can't be you, right?" Zhou Wen said after some thought.

"No, it'd be too obvious if it was me. I'd definitely be seen through." An Sheng debunked Zhou Wen's guess.

"Who is it?" Zhou Wen really couldn't figure it out. There were only a few experts in Luoyang. It was impossible for Leng Zongzheng and An Tianzuo to impersonate him. Zhou Wen really couldn't guess who else had such abilities.

"You'll know when the time comes." An Sheng clearly liked this feeling and didn't tell Zhou Wen.

Since An Sheng didn't say anything, Zhou Wen had no choice but to stop asking. After chatting with An Sheng for a while, An Sheng got busy with work.

Ya'er pushed open the door and walked in. She was holding a plate with breakfast on it. Furthermore, it looked like it was for two.

Ya'er placed the plate on the table and sat down opposite Zhou Wen. She blinked and said, "Breakfast, together."

Zhou Wen hadn't slept in the first place. He went to sit down and prepare to have breakfast with Ya'er, but to his surprise, Tsukuyomi walked in before he even sat down. She took Zhou Wen's seat and took a bite of his breakfast. She looked at Ya'er and said with a smile, "Not bad. It's pretty good. Thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. Anyway, I feed the dogs at home every day. I'm used to it." Ya'er pushed the remaining portion of the plate to Tsukuyomi. "Eat more if you like it."

Zhou Wen didn't know why Tsukuyomi liked to be at odds with Ya'er, but when he saw that they were about to fight again, he hurriedly went over to pull Ya'er away. He coughed lightly and said to Tsukuyomi, "Don't you want to see how humans learn? I'll take you to the place I used to go to school, okay?"

"Isn't it just a place like the Royal College? It's boring," Tsukuyomi said.

"It's different. The place I attended is rather interesting, but we can only go there later." Zhou Wen wanted to meet his old classmates, but on careful thought, they had already graduated. Unless they had continued studying or become a tutor, it would be impossible for him to see them again.

I wonder how Gu Dian is now? Zhou Wen thought of the devil-like man.

He had already roughly learned about Li Xuan and company from An Sheng. Only Gu Dian had disappeared after graduation. It was unknown where he had gone.

Chapter 1156: Greetings Prince Consort

At night, An Sheng came over to invite Zhou Wen and Ya'er to the meal held at the front hall.

Tsukuyomi followed Zhou Wen the entire time, so he had no choice but to take her along.

Before the group reached the front hall, they saw a golden stream of light fly out and instantly appear in front of Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen extended his arm and saw a strange golden-feathered bird land on it. It was Chick.

However, Chick's body now resembled a huge eagle. Its body was also very similar in shape, leaving Zhou Wen puzzled. He thought to himself, How strange. Isn't it a descendant of a phoenix? Why does it look more and more like an eagle?

However, being able to reunite with Chick delighted Zhou Wen. He reached out to stroke Chick's feathers and vaguely felt a heat flowing beneath them.

Chick intimately extended its head and rubbed against Zhou Wen's body. It didn't feel unfamiliar despite the five years of separation.

Zhou Wen still didn't understand why the phoenix had chosen him to deal with Chick.

After entering the front hall, Zhou Wen saw the antelope lazily sprawled on the sofa without approaching the dining table.

At the dining table, An Tianzuo sat at the main seat with An Jing sitting on his right.

Having not seen her for so many years, An Jing's appearance was very different from before. She was now as tall as Zhou Wen.

Without the baby fat on her face, she looked even more heroic. Furthermore, she looked much more composed. She sat with a straight back, a clear indication of a soldier's bearing.

An Tianzuo and An Jing looked at Zhou Wen without a word.

"Young Master Wen, sit here." An Sheng got Zhou Wen to sit on An Tianzuo's left. Ya'er sat beside Zhou Wen. An Sheng had planned on arranging for Tsukuyomi to sit on An Jing's side, but Tsukuyomi sat down beside Ya'er.

An Sheng had no choice but to walk to An Jing's side and sit down. Then, he said to Zhou Wen, "Young Master Wen, why don't you introduce this beautiful lady to us?"

"Her name is Tsukuyomi. She's a friend I met overseas." Zhou Wen found it odd because An Sheng had previously said that he should be able to see the person impersonating him tonight, but there was only An Tianzuo and An Jing here.

It's definitely impossible for An Tianzuo. Could it be that the person impersonating me was An Jing? Zhou Wen couldn't help but glance at An Jing.

An Jing happened to be looking at him as well. When their eyes met, the two of them subconsciously looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

"Miss Tsukuyomi, are you from overseas? Which island do you live on?" An Tianzuo asked Tsukuyomi.

"Bride Island," Tsukuyomi answered truthfully.

"Bride Island?" An Tianzuo frowned slightly as he sized up Tsukuyomi.

Clearly, he knew what kind of place Bride Island was and knew that it was impossible for humans to live there.

Zhou Wen was afraid that An Tianzuo would continue asking, so he explained, "Bride Island isn't as terrifying as the legends say. I've been there and seen the Ghost Parade..."

Zhou Wen's topic immediately piqued An Sheng's interest. "I heard that the Ghost Parade disaster has appeared overseas. A Calamity creature should have appeared, but for some reason, there was no news all of a sudden. Young Master Wen, since you've been there, do you know what happened?"

An Jing and An Tianzuo also looked at Zhou Wen. Clearly, they also wanted to know the answer.

Zhou Wen naturally knew what had happened, but he couldn't tell them in front of Tsukuyomi that he had abducted the newly born Calamity creature, so the dimensional creatures that accompanied her had temporarily ended up settling down.

"Actually, it's just a rumor. Calamity creatures aren't as terrifying as the outside world described them to be. They are still very kind and reasonable. They are also very amiable. I reasoned with them, and they probably felt that what I said made sense, so they stopped their parade." With Tsukuyomi beside him, he could only speak against his conscience.

Otherwise, if he angered Tsukuyomi, Luoyang would probably be doomed.

An Tianzuo, An Jing, and An Sheng looked at him. The look in their eyes said everything. They felt that Zhou Wen was spouting nonsense.

Reason with a Calamity creature? Very kind and amiable. It would be a miracle if they believed it.

An Jing said indifferently, "If they are so kind and nice, why didn't you invite them back as guests?"

What do you mean by not inviting them? Isn't one just beside me? Zhou Wen thought to himself, but he said, "It's too far. The journey's rough, so I'll see if there's a chance in the future."

An Jing curled her lips and didn't say anything else. Clearly, she felt that Zhou Wen was bullsh*tting.

An Sheng hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Overseer, the food is ready. Why don't we get them to serve the dishes now?"

An Tianzuo nodded slightly as An Sheng hurriedly instructed someone to serve the food.

It was a great spread, but it wasn't extravagant. The most expensive food was probably the dessert that Ya'er ate. The rest were ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were made exquisitely.

The atmosphere was especially tense as they ate together.

An Tianzuo ate a few mouthfuls, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and asked Tsukuyomi, "Miss Tsukuyomi, you live on Bride Island. Have you seen the Ghost Parade with your own eyes?"

"Of course," Tsukuyomi answered.

"I wonder which are the hundred ghosts in the parade. Please broaden my horizons," An Tianzuo said.

"Although the Ghost Parade is known as having a hundred ghosts, there are actually more than a hundred of them. Just at the Terror grade, there are already more than a hundred. For example, Great Daitengu, Yuki Onna, and Hashihime are all at the Terror grade," Tsukuyomi answered.

"You are really lucky to escape alive with so many Terror creatures there." An Jing clearly didn't believe Tsukuyomi's words.

"Didn't Zhou Wen already say that the dimensional creatures there are very kind and amiable? We get along very well, like we're friends. There's no need to flee, right?" Tsukuyomi's last sentence was directed at Zhou Wen.

"Yes, they are especially friendly. They are really kind. We are all friends." What else could Zhou Wen say? All he could do was echo Tsukuyomi.

"Then you should invite them back next time. Let us meet these amiable friends," An Jing said casually.

"There's no need to wait. I can introduce you to them now," Tsukuyomi said.

An Jing felt that there was no point in continuing. Just as she was about to end the topic, the lights in the hall suddenly went off.

It wasn't just the living room. The entire An family residence sank into darkness as all the lights were extinguished.

An Jing and An Sheng's expressions changed. Just as they were about to get up, An Tianzuo said calmly, "Sit down."

An Jing and An Sheng had no choice but to sit down again. However, just as they sat down, a cold wind blew open the door to the living room. Snowflakes swept in with the cold wind. At the same time, a woman in white floated in.

"Yuki Onna?" An Sheng and An Jing stared at Yuki Onna. They had already guessed her identity, but they still found it unbelievable.

Yuki Onna walked to Tsukuyomi's side and bowed slightly at Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen. "Your Majesty, Prince Consort. Greetings from your subject, Yuki Onna."

Chapter 1157: Tsukuyomi's Performance

Translator: CKtalon

An Jing and company were dumbfounded. The entire An family residence was silent.

With the An family's defense, with such a huge commotion, the troops and hidden forces should have long rushed into the hall, but there was no movement at all.

The dark yard was dead silent. The night was terrifyingly dark, as though a dark behemoth was entrenched in the An residence.

The sound of wings flapping was heard. Almost at the same time, Daitengu landed in the living room. It retracted its wings and bowed at Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen. "Your Majesty, Prince Consort. Greetings from your subject, Daitengu."

An Jing and company had naturally heard of the name 'Daitengu.' Legend had it that it was formed after an emperor died. It had a very high status in a particular country's pantheon.

Is this really the legendary Daitengu? An Jing's body trembled as she looked at the Daitengu that resembled a winged devil. It looked very similar to the legendary depiction.

Even if it wasn't the legendary Daitengu, just its ability to appear out of thin air made it an extremely powerful existence. Without a doubt, it was at the Terror grade.

Boom! Boom!

Before An Jing could figure out if it was really Daitengu, she suddenly heard a strange sound as though a behemoth had stepped into An Manor.

Soon, she saw a strange temple appear in front of the living room. The strange temple seemed to have a life of its own. Its open door was pitch-black like the mouth of a terrifying monster.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort. Greetings from your subject, Noderabō." The temple rumbled as it landed in front of the hall. A ghastly voice sounded.

An ethereal sound of a stringed instrument came from the side door. Umibōzu carried his lute as he walked. After arriving in the hall, he bowed slightly at Tsukuyomi and Zhou Wen. "Your Majesty, Prince Consort. Greetings from your subject, Umibōzu."

In a moment, four terrifying dimensional creatures appeared. Furthermore, there were layers of ghostly shadows in the distance, as though countless ghosts were heading their way.

An Sheng and An Jing's strength were extraordinary. They could sense that the strength of those creatures was extremely terrifying. They were definitely not ordinary Mythical creatures.

An Tianzuo didn't look at Yuki Onna and company. He only stared coldly at Tsukuyomi. He had already guessed Tsukuyomi's identity when Yuki Onna appeared.

Without a doubt, Tsukuyomi wasn't a real human, but a Calamity creature that had appeared overseas. Only she could control so many terrifying creatures.

An Jing and An Sheng naturally thought the same. Their eyes were filled with horror as they looked at Tsukuyomi. No one expected the woman who had returned with Zhou Wen to be a Calamity creature that had appeared overseas.

Don't tell me she wants to trigger the Ghost Parade in the An family? An Jing felt extremely uneasy.

If it was really as Tsukuyomi had said, with more than a hundred Terror creatures gathered here, once violence erupted, the entire Luoyang City would probably suffer.

"Tsukuyomi, that's enough. We are eating. Let them return," Zhou Wen said with a frown.

When Tsukuyomi heard Zhou Wen's words, she was surprisingly gentle. She didn't retort him and obediently waved her hand. Yuki Onna, Daitengu, and the other Terror creatures instantly retreated and vanished into the darkness. As for the An family, they returned to normal as the lights lit up again.

The guards outside didn't seem to know what had happened. They were still patrolling as usual.

An Tianzuo's brows relaxed when he saw that everyone was fine.

"Let's sit down for the meal." Zhou Wen secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tsukuyomi dismiss the dimensional creatures.

If they really came to blows, even if he could use the Immortal Culling Sword to kill Tsukuyomi, the An family and Luoyang would suffer heavy losses.

Tsukuyomi seemed to have changed into a different person today. She was especially gentle and obedient as she picked up the bowl and chewed slowly. However, her present appearance was completely different from before in the eyes of An Jing and company.

A Calamity creature treated Zhou Wen's words like an imperial edict. It was just too shocking.

Only each individual knew what they were feeling while having this meal.

"I'm full. I wish to get some rest." Tsukuyomi looked at Zhou Wen as though she was asking for his opinion.

"Return first." After Zhou Wen said that, Tsukuyomi got up and left.

After Tsukuyomi left, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. An Sheng whispered, "Young Master Wen, is she really the one who appeared overseas..."

Zhou Wen nodded and said helplessly, "Yes."

"Young Master Wen, pretty amazing. Even a Calamity-grade creature listens to you. Could it be that you've already advanced to the Calamity grade?" An Sheng asked.

Although An Sheng, An Tianzuo, and company knew that Zhou Wen was Human Sovereign, they could also tell that Zhou Wen had relied on the power of the sword to defeat Di Tian, not because Zhou Wen had advanced to the Calamity grade.

An Jing and An Tianzuo also looked at Zhou Wen. They clearly wanted to know what level Zhou Wen had reached to make a Calamity-grade creature be so submissive.

Tsukuyomi didn't seem to go against Zhou Wen's wishes.

Zhou Wen shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I'm still at the Mythical stage. I'm still very far from the Calamity grade. As for Tsukuyomi, I can't explain it for the time being. It's a long story."

An Sheng naturally didn't believe him. He said with a smile, "To be able to make a Calamity-grade creature listen to you, I also want to give such a long story a try."

Zhou Wen couldn't explain it clearly. No one would believe that a Calamity creature insisted on marrying him.

After the meal, Zhou Wen took Ya'er back.

Chick and antelope also followed, seemingly without much reluctance.

"Overseer, it looks like we don't have to worry about Young Master Wen's safety. Even a Calamity-grade creature acts so obedient towards him. Even if Young Master Wen hasn't really advanced to the Calamity grade, he's definitely much stronger than before. It won't be easy for the League of Guardians to touch him," An Sheng said.

"Have we ever been worried about his safety?" An Tianzuo said indifferently, "Furthermore, just as he said, his strength hasn't reached the Calamity grade. He hasn't even reached the Terror grade. Tsukuyomi must have another reason for following him. It might not be a good thing."

"Tsukuyomi doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Young Master Wen," An Sheng said.

"Not having any ill intentions doesn't mean anything. You still have to continue with the previous arrangements. It's not time for wishful thinking," An Tianzuo said.

"Overseer, don't worry. I'll do my best." An Sheng stood up and saluted solemnly.

An Jing sat by the side and ate without saying a word. She originally imagined that she had grown a lot in the past five years, but now, she suddenly realized that her growth was nothing in front of Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen returned to his room and realized that Tsukuyomi was waiting for him.

Upon seeing Zhou Wen return, Tsukuyomi blinked and asked, "How was my performance?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.

"My performance at the banquet, of course. Didn't you humans say that a good wife has to give her husband face in front of outsiders? Was what I did considered giving you enough face? Was I considered a good wife?" Tsukuyomi asked Zhou Wen.

Chapter 1158: Sky-Stealing Sun-Swapping Skill

Zhou Wen was immediately rendered speechless as he looked at Tsukuyomi, fully at a loss for words.

What kind of charm does the Heavenly Happiness Token have to make a Calamity-grade creature stoop to such a level? Zhou Wen was alarmed.

Back when Emperor of Shang gave him the Heavenly Happiness Token, he didn't think that there was any problem. Now, he realized how big a problem it was.

Emperor of Shang should have been the loser back then. Is the token he gave me really that powerful? After some thought, Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss.

"Is that wrong? I read about this on the Internet." Seeing Zhou Wen remain silent, Tsukuyomi thought that she had done something wrong. She opened the webpage and saw that it had the words "Love's Thirty-Six Stratagems."

"There's nothing wrong. It's written like this. Is there a problem with my usage?" Tsukuyomi studied it again.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Zhou Wen had no choice but to give up his room to her and find another place to stay.

Chick and antelope returned to his side, making Zhou Wen feel indescribably at ease.

He summoned Banana Fairy, Demonic Neonate, Truth Listener, and the other Companion Beasts and allowed them to move freely in the room. Zhou Wen lay in bed and continued gaming. At the same time, he studied the combination of Clown Mask and Singularity Universe.

As he constantly failed, Zhou Wen became more and more adept at combining the two powers.

Finally, he thought of a way to move the tiny planet away without getting another planet in return.

When he arrived in front of a small planet again, Zhou Wen picked up a stone and pinched it before throwing it into the distance.

After the stone flew away, Zhou Wen pressed his palm on the tiny planet. In the next second, a strange thing happened. The tiny planet under Zhou Wen's hand vanished as the stone he had thrown appeared in his hand.

I did it! Zhou Wen was overjoyed as he made a few more attempts. The success rate was rather high, and he could do the reverse as well.

However, he had to leave his coordinates on one of the objects before he could swap them from a distance.

The further the distance, the greater the expenditure.

To use this method, he had to use the power of Clown Mask and Singularity Universe at the same time. Neither one could be missing.

Zhou Wen constantly practiced to allow himself to complete the swap at faster speeds. Only this way could he finish off the Planet Devourer.

After countless practice, when Zhou Wen felt that it was about time he found the Planet Devourer again.

He constantly used teleportation to expend the Planet Devourer's powers. When the Planet Devourer's black hole's suction force was reduced to a certain extent, it attempted to devour the nearby tiny planets as expected.

Zhou Wen immediately teleported to a tiny planet and teleported a stone out.

Just as the Planet Devourer was about to devour the tiny planet, it suddenly vanished. Zhou Wen also vanished with the tiny planet, leaving behind a fist-sized stone.

After the Planet Devourer devoured the stone, the replenishment it received was almost negligible.

The Planet Devourer quickly teleported to another tiny planet, planning to devour it again.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Wen teleported over and appeared on the tiny planet. He teleported the tiny planet away again, leaving behind a stone.

A strange battle began. No matter which tiny planet the Planet Devourer appeared on, Zhou Wen would appear in time and swap the tiny planet away, leaving behind a fist-sized stone.

Without any replenishment, the black hole in the Planet Devourer's body became weaker and weaker. Likewise for its suction force. Even its body gradually shrank.

Zhou Wen's expenditure was greater than that of the Planet Devourer, but with Slaughterer replenishing large amounts of Essence Energy and the augmentation of the Heaven-Opening Scripture's Essence Energy recovery, it was almost equivalent to infinite Essence Energy.

The Planet Devourer's body became smaller and smaller until it was about the size of a small planet. Then, its body suddenly collapsed and was destroyed.

Ding! A Companion Egg dropped from where the Planet Devourer had collapsed.

'Killed Terror creature, Planet Devourer. Discovered Companion Egg.'

Zhou Wen was delighted. This was the first Terror-grade Companion Egg that had dropped for him.

He reached out to grab the Companion Egg and saw that it was crystalline. There was a strange vortex pattern in it that seemed to be constantly swirling.

Planet Devourer: Terror

Life Providence: Black Hole

Life Soul: Star Core

Wheel of Destiny: Devour

Terror Form: Devourer

Strength: 89

Speed: 92

Constitution: 94

Essence Energy: 93

Talent Skill: Spacetime Transfer, Energy Release.

Companion Form: Glove

After Zhou Wen saw the stats, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. He never expected its companion form to be a glove. However, on careful thought, it did look a little like a glove, but it was just too big in size.

He directly chose to incubate it. A large amount of Essence Energy was sucked away by the Companion Egg. It was only with Zhou Wen's double augmentation of Slaughterer and the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder that he could do so. Ordinary Mythical creatures couldn't afford such enormous Essence Energy expenditure.

With the injection of Essence Energy, the Planet Devourer gradually hatched. It was identical to the Planet Devourer from before and was extremely large.

When the Planet Devourer was completely hatched, it transformed into a black beam that injected into Zhou Wen's body.

When Zhou Wen summoned it again, the Planet Devourer had already transformed into a glove. It was a black crystalline glove. In the palm was a mysterious black vortex that emitted a powerful suction force.

Zhou Wen tested it and realized that he could control the suction force of the black hole in his palm. He attempted to use the Planet Devourer Glove on the nearby tiny planets.

The tiny planet that was the size of a mountain was pulled over by the black hole on the glove. The closer the tiny planet was to the black hole, the smaller it became. Finally, it was sucked into the black hole. Zhou Wen immediately felt that the power of the black hole had become much stronger after absorbing the tiny planet.

The Planet Devourer's strength is sufficiently powerful, but the suction force of the black hole is a little too slow. Before sucking an object in, as long as one's speed is fast enough, one can still dodge it. However, if I were to use the glove to strike the enemy, I would be able to suck the enemy into the black hole. It would be impossible for them to escape again. Zhou Wen thought about the ways to use Planet Devourer.

However, there was something that worried Zhou Wen. Planet Devourer's black hole was somewhat similar to Torch Dragon's Bright Torch Vision World. He didn't know if he could retrieve the items that dropped if he sucked in the dimensional creatures.

He gave Planet Devourer a spin and indeed, as he had guessed, nothing would be left behind after being sucked into the black hole.

Chapter 1159: Alma Mater

The next morning, An Sheng modified Zhou Wen's appearance before letting him leave the An family.

Zhou Wen looked at the changes An Sheng had given him and realized that the contours on his face had softened. His hairstyle had also changed a little, but the other changes weren't too big.

He took Ya'er and Tsukuyomi to Sunset College which was still considered Zhou Wen's alma mater, even though he hadn't graduated from there.

Luoyang was relatively intact because there were dimensional zones everywhere around it. Furthermore, there were several layers of dimensional zones below Luoyang City. The whole of Luoyang was equivalent to a massive and complicated dimensional zone. It was difficult for dimensional creatures from the outside world to rush in, so it had become abnormally safe.

As for the various dimensional zones in Luoyang, there were quite a number of dimensional creatures that had breached the restrictions. However, as people were already familiar with these dimensional creatures and with the constant battles over the past five years, they ultimately managed to preserve humanity's foundation in Luoyang.

Zhou Wen had also read quite a bit of information regarding Luoyang on the Internet. It could be said that Luoyang was a unique existence in the Federation.

Two of the four war gods of the new era were in Luoyang. One was An Tianzuo, and the other was Sunset College's chancellor, Leng Zongzheng.

It was said that in the past five years, Luoyang had experienced countless break-out battles of all sizes. The biggest reason why humans could always entrench themselves was because of these two guards.

When he arrived at the familiar school entrance again, Zhou Wen felt mixed emotions. Although it had only been five years, the campus had undergone huge changes. Many buildings were new, and even the main entrance was different from before. It had probably been recently renovated.

Although the entire school looked brand new and looked even more grandiose than before, one could tell upon careful thought that the reason the school had undergone a large-scale renovation was definitely not because of aesthetic pursuits, but because it had to be rebuilt.

From this, it could be seen how many terrifying battles this school had experienced to make the entire school look almost brand new.

Just past the school entrance stood the statue of Human Sovereign with his heaven-defying strike. It was similar to the one Zhou Wen had seen before, but it looked even more majestic.

Upon seeing the Human Sovereign statue, Zhou Wen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Humans treated him as their savior and worshiped him like a god. However, he wasn't thinking too much back then, nor was he thinking of saving humanity. He hadn't had a choice.

Taking out the pass An Sheng gave him, he successfully took Tsukuyomi and Ya'er into the school.

It was obvious that the guards recognized him and were very respectful. Zhou Wen gathered that this respect was meant for the Zhou Wen, who was acted by An Jing, and not him.

From the looks of it, An Jing must have done quite a number of things while acting as me. Zhou Wen walked into the school and saw a very different scene from the Royal College.

Although this place placed great importance on the cultivation of Companion Beasts, Essence Energy Arts, and Essence Energy Skills, one could also see the shadow of technology. There were also many things that combined Companion Beasts and technology.

Tsukuyomi was very curious when she saw the technological components.

"You're right. The place where you attended school is indeed different from the school we went to previously," Tsukuyomi said as she looked at the students practicing shooting on the field.

"Yes." Although Zhou Wen wasn't willing to admit it, he had to admit that it was mostly thanks to An Tianzuo.

An Tianzuo always placed great importance on scientific research. Furthermore, Zhou Wen had heard that the effects were rather good. The Essence Energy compression accelerator he had created had played a vital role in the early battles during Luoyang's defense.

However, due to the excessive expenditure of Essence Crystals, the Essence Energy compression accelerator was seldom seen in the subsequent battles.

As An Jing, who impersonated Zhou Wen, had been in the military all year round, ordinary students did not recognize Zhou Wen, only the soldiers who were deployed on campus did.

However, there were many legends about Zhou Wen on campus. He was considered a legend.

When he arrived at the training grounds, Zhou Wen couldn't help but reminisce about the times he had practiced with Li Xuan, Feng Qiuyan, and company.

Zhou Wen circled the training grounds with Ya'er and Tsukuyomi. Just as he was about to leave, a student came in front of him and said politely, "Senior, can I help you?"

Zhou Wen glanced at the student in front of him. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, probably in his sophomore or junior year. Although he wasn't as tall as Zhou Wen, he was still considered tall and handsome.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen knew that he had mistaken him for a graduate student, but Zhou Wen could indeed be considered his senior.

"Is this beautiful senior your girlfriend?" The student didn't answer and instead asked while looking at Tsukuyomi.

"No," Zhou Wen said with a shake of his head.

"It's fiancée," Tsukuyomi added. This time, she didn't say that she was Zhou Wen's wife. Instead, she used the word fiancée. He did not know where she learned it from.

"Fiancée? That means you aren't married?" The boy's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Senior, please fight me. If I win, can you agree to let me have dinner at the cafeteria with her?"

Zhou Wen glanced at Tsukuyomi and saw that she wasn't angry. Then, he looked at the boy and asked, "What's your name?"

This boy was actually quite bold to have thoughts of chasing after a Calamity creature. It was unknown if he still had the guts to do so after knowing Tsukuyomi's true identity.

"Qin Mu." The boy's tone was very calm, but from the way he raised his eyebrows, one could tell that he was proud of his name as though he was very famous.

In fact, many students on the training grounds were secretly discussing as they watched. Zhou Wen's eyes and ears were extremely sensitive, so he quickly figured out Qin Mu's origins.

Qin Mu was a sophomore, but his strength had already reached the peak of the Legendary stage. He was only half a step away from advancing to the Epic stage.

Although there were many dimensional creatures now, to have such achievements at such a young age made him an outstanding elite in Sunset College.

At this year's school ranking, Qin Mu had only lost to the president of the student council and was ranked second. From this, one could tell how strong he was.

However, there was another reason why Qin Mu had such strength.

This was because Qin Mu was the younger brother of the famous female sword immortal in Luoyang. Although the female sword immortal's fame wasn't comparable to a figure like An Tianzuo, she was also a well-known figure in the Federation. She had never tasted defeat when it came to sword technique.

Speaking of sword techniques in the East District, the most outstanding ones were for males, Ming Xiu, and for females, this female sword immortal.

Chapter 1160: Female Sword Immortal's Sword Art

The female sword immortal's name was Qin Zhen. Qin Mu's relationship with Qin Zhen was very good, and he especially admired this sister. When he was at home, Qin Zhen was always the one who mentored him.

Of course, Qin Zhen's teaching was only one aspect. Qin Mu himself was a bona fide genius, but he was a little too proud. Furthermore, his personality was more defiant and rebellious. He had caused a lot of trouble in school, giving his tutor a headache.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Zhou Wen asked Qin Mu.

"You don't dare?" Qin Mu returned with a question.

"I do, but I just find it unfair." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "You can date her if you win, but I won't get any benefits if I win. Do you think that's fair?"

"Then if you win, I'll arrange for my sister to date you. That's fair, right?" Qin Mu said with a grin.

Zhou Wen was glad that he hadn't drunk any water. Otherwise, he might have spat it out. With a younger brother of this caliber, the female sword immortal was really unlucky.

"How is that? Do you dare to agree?" Qin Mu continued to ask.

Qin Mu was certain that Zhou Wen would agree to it. A graduate student being provoked by a sophomore and in front of his girlfriend was something no one could tolerate.

"Here?" Zhou Wen looked around and asked. There were already quite a number of students who had come to watch the commotion. However, they knew Qin Mu's character very well and were no longer surprised.

"Yes, right here. Everyone can be our witnesses. Of course, if you're afraid of losing and embarrassing yourself, we can also get a private room," Qin Mu said with a grin.

"Doing it here will do." Zhou Wen also wanted to see what standards the top students of Sunset College had after five years. He wanted to know how they compared with his class.

"Alright, I'll use a sword. Senior, what will you use?" Qin Mu took a practice sword from the weapon rack and asked Zhou Wen.

"Since you use a sword, I'll use a sword too," Zhou Wen said.

"Don't regret posturing." Qin Mu curled his lips and threw a practice sword at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen caught the sword before walking to the center of the training grounds.

"You're a senior, shouldn't you give me a three-strike handicap?" Qin Mu asked with a grin.

"Sure." Zhou Wen nodded with a smile.

"Senior, I won't stand on ceremony then," Qin Mu thought to himself. I know all the powerful ones among the graduate students. I haven't seen this one before, so he's definitely not at the Epic stage. He wants to beat me at the Legendary stage? To think he dares give me a three-strike handicap. He's simply blinded by greed. That's good too. If I finish you in three strikes, I can definitely make that female senior view me in a different light.

No. Three strikes isn't cool enough. I'll finish him in one strike. Qin Mu thought for a moment and still felt that dealing a single deathblow was more handsome and could leave an impression in the eyes of the beautiful female senior.

"Senior, I'm about to strike. You have to be careful." Qin Mu was very confident in his sword art. Unless one's level was higher than his, there weren't many people at the same level who could dodge his full-powered strike.

"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded with a smile.

Qin Mu didn't immediately strike. Instead, he took a few steps forward and found Zhou Wen standing still. He stood there with his sword in hand and allowed him to approach with no intent of retreat. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly. You know I'm Qin Zhen's younger brother, yet you still dare let me come so close. You can only blame it on yourself if you can't even block one strike.

When he reached the attack range that he was most proficient in, Qin Mu suddenly struck out with his sword. That strike was like a fleeting glimpse. Coupled with his movement technique, it was unbelievably fast, but it was also extremely elegant. It was like an immortal riding a sword for an assault on the enemy. In a flash, he could take the head of the general amidst thousands of soldiers.

Zhou Wen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Qin Mu's sword art.

Although Qin Mu's sword art was fast, it was only fast enough among Legendaries. In Zhou Wen's eyes, this strike was extremely slow. It was impossible for it to touch him.

Zhou Wen was surprised that the sword art was very similar to his Transcendent Flying Immortal. It wasn't the present Transcendent Flying Immortal, but the Transcendent Flying Immortal from his college days. Although this strike had some changes, the core remained the same.

Strange, why would he use my Transcendent Flying Immortal? Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.

This was unlike Sei Gasakai, who had only observed Zhou Wen's sword moves and sword intent before figuring out a concept similar to Transcendent Flying Immortal.

Although the two were very similar, there were still some differences in the core and details.

However, Qin Mu's sword art was different. His sword art had details that were unique to Zhou Wen.

Strange, I've never taught anyone my sword art, much less someone with the surname Qin. Why does this Qin Mu know my sword art? Zhou Wen was filled with puzzlement.

Qin Mu originally wanted to defeat Zhou Wen with one strike and had used 90% of his strength. His speed was also astonishing.

However, to his surprise, the practice sword in Zhou Wen's hand blocked Qin Mu's sword, preventing him from succeeding.

Qin Mu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this unremarkable graduate student to be able to block the sword art his sister had taught him.

I'll see how many strikes you can block. When Qin Mu saw that Zhou Wen didn't react, he thought that he had already used all his strength to block his attack and didn't have the ability to counterattack. Therefore, he launched a storm-like attack.

Strike after strike, Qin Mu's sword art was elegant and ruthless. It was indeed a good sword art that was hard to come by.

After watching a few strikes, Zhou Wen finally understood. This sword art was indeed Transcendent Flying Immortal from back when he was at school. However, it had been modified by someone and had indeed reached a very high level. It was much stronger than Zhou Wen's Transcendent Flying Immortal from back then. However, the core hadn't changed. It was considered a variant of Transcendent Flying Immortal.

However, Zhou Wen still couldn't recall when he had taught the sword art to a person with the surname Qin.

After more than ten strikes, Zhou Wen had already seen through Qin Mu's sword art. There was no need for him to continue. Therefore, he struck out and sent Qin Mu's practice sword flying.

"It looks like I've won." Zhou Wen placed his practice sword back on the rack and asked Qin Mu, "Who taught you your sword art?"

"My sister." Qin Mu thought of Qin Zhen and what he had said to Zhou Wen. He immediately felt that something was amiss.

If Zhou Wen really requested to go on a date with Qin Zhen, Qin Mu wouldn't tell her it was down to a battle. The reason he had said that was because he hadn't expected to lose.

However, on second thought, the other party's girlfriend was here. He wouldn't suggest going on a date with his sister, right?

"Where did your sister learn her sword art from?" Zhou Wen wanted to know where she had learned Transcendent Flying Immortal.

"Why are you asking this?" Qin Mu sized up Zhou Wen warily. He imagined that Zhou Wen was eyeing Qin Zhen's sword art.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to arrange a date between me and your sister? Can we do it today?" Zhou Wen wanted to meet the female sword immortal, Qin Zhen, and ask her where she had learned Transcendent Flying Immortal.

Chapter 1161: Female Sword Immortal

Qin Mu's face darkened. He didn't dare take Zhou Wen to his sister. Furthermore, he never expected him to really dare visit his sister.

Ignoring the fact that his girlfriend was here, just the fame of his sister as Female Sword Immortal was enough to scare away many suitors. Ordinary men didn't have the courage to stand in front of his sister.

However, Qin Mu thought about it again. He had seen many outstanding men, but when they really stood in front of his sister, all of them quickly lost their confidence. They would become at a loss for words because Qin Zhen's aura was too strong.

Even if he really took Zhou Wen to see Qin Zhen, Zhou Wen probably wouldn't dare say anything rash in front of her. Perhaps he could bluff his way through.

"Senior, do you really want to meet my sister?" Qin Mu asked Zhou Wen.

"Didn't we agree on this?" Zhou Wen said.

"Alright, I, Qin Mu, admit defeat. I'll take you there now. Follow me if you have the guts." After Qin Mu said that, he walked out of the training grounds.

Zhou Wen looked at Tsukuyomi and saw that she didn't have any special reaction. Only then did he pick up Ya'er and follow. Tsukuyomi followed behind.

As for many students who had enjoyed the battle, they followed behind as though they wanted to see if Zhou Wen would really date Female Sword Immortal. She was the goddess that many boys in school had a crush on.

Qin Mu walked in front for a while and saw that Zhou Wen had really followed him. Furthermore, he had brought two beauties—one young, one old—with him. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Don't tell me you plan on taking them to see my sister?"

"Can't I?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Sure, of course. As you wish." Qin Mu thought to himself, Is this fellow stupid? It would be strange if he doesn't get beaten up when he takes this woman to see my sister. However, this is also good. When that happens, my sister won't be in the mood to care about me.

Qin Zhen was a tutor at Sunset College. She lived there, so they didn't need to leave the campus.

Luoyang had a very high status in the Federation, and Sunset College had long been famous throughout the Federation.

Ignoring the fact that the Federation President had once studied at Sunset College, just Luoyang's present strength was enough to match the six families.

However, these powerful figures didn't completely belong to the An family. Otherwise, the An family might have become the seventh family clan.

Qin Mu quickly led Zhou Wen and company to Qin Zhen's residence. This place surprised Zhou Wen.

"Four Seasons Garden. Your sister lives here?" Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the building in front of him.

This was the Four Seasons Garden that had previously been reserved for special admissions students. Furthermore, the building that Qin Zhen lived in was the same one that he used to live in.

Although many small buildings in Four Seasons Garden had been rebuilt, the three buildings in the last row didn't seem to have changed much. They were about the same as before.

"That's right. Are you going in?" Qin Mu asked Zhou Wen with a grin.

He was very relaxed now. Zhou Wen was holding the hand of a girl who was about seven or eight years old. Behind him was a beauty who looked to be in her twenties. All he needed to do was tell Qin Zhen that this man wanted to woo her. With Qin Zhen's temper, the outcome was obvious.

"Why not?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll take you to see my sister now." Qin Mu pushed open the door and walked in. When he arrived in front of the building, he pressed the doorbell.

"Sis, are you there?" Qin Mu shouted at the video doorbell.

"What are you doing here?" A cold woman's voice sounded from inside. She didn't sound old, but her attitude was very cold.

"There's a senior who wants to get to know you. I brought him over to meet you," Qin Mu said as he turned his body to the side, allowing Qin Zhen to see Zhou Wen standing behind him through the video.

"By the way, Senior, what's your name?" Only then did Qin Mu realize that he didn't even know Zhou Wen's name.

Zhou Wen ignored him and looked at the door. He didn't use Truth Listener to scan the situation inside. After all, she was a woman and not an enemy. It would be impolite.

Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't answer, Qin Mu asked again.

Before Zhou Wen could answer, the door to the building opened. A young woman in her twenties walked out.

She wore the combat uniform produced by the An family, accentuating her perfect figure. Although she wasn't too tall, her figure was very well-proportioned.

Zhou Wen immediately found the woman's face familiar. After some thought, he immediately recalled and knew where she had learned Transcendent Flying Immortal.

I never expected that the silent and introverted junior from back then would have already become a famous Female Sword Immortal in the Federation, Zhou Wen thought wistfully.

Back then, he noticed that a female junior had quite a bit of talent in the way of the sword, so he had casually given her some scattered notes he had already memorized while practicing Transcendent Flying Immortal.

Zhou Wen didn't take this matter to heart at all. He had long forgotten about it. Furthermore, he never expected that the junior would use the scattered notes in the notebook to cultivate Transcendent Flying Immortal to such an extent. She had even become a famous Female Sword Immortal.

If it wasn't for Zhou Wen's good memory, he would have found it unbelievable that Qin Zhen was the junior from back then.

When Qin Mu saw Qin Zhen walk out, he thought that Qin Zhen wanted to chase Zhou Wen away. Therefore, he fanned the flames and said, "Sis, let me introduce you. This senior wants to date you. And this person is his fiancée... I don't know what relationship this little girl has with them. Senior, could this be your daughter..."

Qin Mu was secretly delighted. He felt that Qin Zhen would definitely teach this reckless senior a lesson.

Just as he expected, Qin Zhen walked towards Zhou Wen like a gust of wind.

Qin Mu was already beginning to worry for Zhou Wen. If Qin Zhen was too heavy-handed and crippled him, it would be difficult to explain things to the college.

As he was thinking, Qin Zhen stood in front of Zhou Wen. Just as Qin Mu thought that Qin Zhen's terrifying attack was coming, he saw Qin Zhen stop in front of Zhou Wen. She didn't draw her sword or attack.

What was even more unbelievable was that Qin Zhen's face revealed an expression that Qin Mu had never seen before.

It was difficult to describe her expression. It was as though she was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, she seemed to be at a loss. The present Qin Zhen had no indication of the female sword immortal's killing intent and arrogance at all. She was like a girl-next-door who was secretly in love with an older boy.

"Heavens... Is there something wrong with my eyes? That's definitely not my dream goddess, Female Sword Immortal Qin Zhen, right? How can she have such an expression?" The male students who had come to watch the commotion were dumbfounded when they saw Qin Zhen's expression.

Qin Mu was shocked beyond words. As a younger brother, he had never seen Qin Zhen like this.

"Senior." Qin Zhen bowed her head and called out bashfully, as though she had become that introverted and shy junior from back then.

"God, smite me with lightning. I don't want to live anymore. Tell me that it's not Sword Immortal Qin Zhen. It's definitely not..." Many boys wanted to kill Zhou Wen. How could a goddess show such an expression to another man? It was absolutely unforgivable.

Chapter 1162: Zhou Wen's Return

"Sis, this person has a fiancée," Qin Mu hurriedly reminded Qin Zhen.

However, Qin Zhen ignored Qin Mu as if she hadn't heard him.

"Not bad with your sword practice," Zhou Wen praised as he looked at Qin Zhen. His words came from the bottom of his heart. To be able to master the sword art to such an extent using just a notebook was indeed extraordinary.

Although he hadn't seen Qin Zhen use a sword, he could roughly tell from Qin Mu, whom she had taught.

Only Zhou Wen could say 'not bad.' In the eyes of others, it wasn't as simple as 'not bad.'

Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, the students and Qin Mu had the urge to roll their eyes. Was there a need for him to praise the female sword immortal's sword art? Furthermore, what did he mean by 'not bad?' Was he praising or criticizing her?

"I don't deserve so much praise, Senior. My sword art still has many shortcomings. It's not even a fraction of yours. If not for your guidance, I wouldn't have my achievements today..." Qin Zhen said seriously.

Upon hearing Qin Zhen's words, the entire campus seemed to explode. Qin Mu widened his eyes and stared at Zhou Wen in disbelief.

"Who is this person? Qin Zhen actually said that her sword art was thanks to his pointers?"

"Is there such an impressive figure in our school?"

"In terms of sword arts, I'm afraid only Overseer An and Chancellor Leng can guide the female Sword Immortal. However, this person is so young. He definitely isn't Chancellor Leng or Overseer An."

"I think Qin Zhen is being polite. This person might be the teacher who initiated her journey."

"Yes, that must be it. However, he's not very old. He's not much older than Qin Zhen. How can he have initiated her journey?"

"What's this senior's name? Does no one know him?"

As everyone discussed, Qin Zhen continued, "Senior, there are still many things that I don't understand about my sword art. Can you give me some pointers? I'm willing to pay any price."

Everyone was dumbfounded when she said that. Qin Zhen, the Federation's female Sword Immortal, actually wanted him to give pointers for her sword art. This was definitely not something a teacher who initiated her journey could do. The only possibility was that this person's sword arts were better than Qin Zhen's—and not just by a little.

"Who is he? Could he be the legendary Swordsman Tomorrow, Ming Xiu? I heard that Ming Xiu had once attended classes at our school. Perhaps he had taught Qin Zhen back then."

"It's not Professor Ming. It's not like we haven't seen Professor Ming's photo before. This senior isn't as delicate as Ming Xiu."

"Ming Xiu might not necessarily be stronger than Qin Zhen, right?"

...

"Sis... This... Who is this senior?" Qin Mu stammered.

"This is Senior Zhou Wen. How can you not know him?" Qin Zhen finally heard Qin Mu's words and answered.

"Zhou Wen... He's the Zhou Wen who was once invincible among his peers and suppressed the younger generation of the six families!"

"Holy sh*t, so it's him. No wonder. I just didn't expect Qin Zhen to have learned her sword art from him."

"I heard that he has been holding down the fort at Chess Mountain for the past few years. It's no wonder I don't recognize him."

Upon hearing Qin Zhen say Zhou Wen's name, many students felt relieved. Although Zhou Wen wasn't in school most of the time, he was one of Sunset College's legends.

"Follow me," Zhou Wen said to Qin Zhen before turning to leave.

Qin Zhen immediately followed without any hesitation. Everyone wanted to follow, but Zhou Wen and company quickly left campus, while the students couldn't.

Zhou Wen took Qin Zhen to the An family's training room and got her to showcase her sword art. She was stronger than Zhou Wen expected. Qin Zhen's talent and concept in sword arts were also better than his expectations.

"Wait a moment." Zhou Wen took out a pen and paper from the Chaos Bead and planned on writing down his experience of Transcendent Flying Immortal for Qin Zhen.

Zhou Wen didn't care if his sword art would spread. If someone could learn his sword art, he had the hope that there would be a few more people like Qin Zhen among humans.

Unfortunately, Transcendent Flying Immortal had extremely high requirements for cultivators. It was difficult to gain basic mastery, and it was even more difficult to achieve anything higher. Therefore, it wasn't suitable for most people to cultivate.

Sei Gasakai had also fused the concept of Transcendent Flying Immortal into the Niten Flying Immortal-ryū that made it easy for others to pick up. Although it resolved the problem of most people finding it difficult to gain basic mastery, it also indirectly raised the difficulty of reaching the pinnacle.

For Zhou Wen, a person like Qin Zhen was a rare inheritor who could pick up his mantle.

...

That night, An Tianzuo sat at the dining table and saw An Sheng and An Jing sitting on both sides. He said with a frown, "He's getting more and more unruly. Doesn't he know that it's time to eat? Even if he's not hungry, doesn't he know that children need to eat more during their growth spurt?"

An Sheng hurriedly said, "Overseer, Young Master Wen brought a guest back. He's currently busy in the training room."

"What guest is more important than Ya'er's body? If he wants to entertain guests, why doesn't he let Ya'er come back for dinner?" An Tianzuo snorted coldly.

"I went to get Ya'er just now. She said she's not hungry," An Sheng said.

An Tianzuo couldn't help but frown. After a pause, he asked, "Who did he bring back?"

"It's Qin Zhen," An Sheng answered.

"Qin Zhen?" An Tianzuo was slightly taken aback. "That female Sword Immortal from the college?"

"Yes, Overseer."

"What are they doing in the training room?" An Tianzuo asked.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps they are sparring," An Sheng said.

An Tianzuo was no stranger to the name Qin Zhen. There were very few experts from Sunset College—Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan, Li Xuan, and Wei Ge were all very famous figures in the Federation.

However, there weren't many who were truly willing to stay at Sunset College for the An family and Luoyang.

Hui Haifeng was now the Federal President, while Feng Qiuyan was the pride of the Sea Return family. Although Li Xuan's Li family was a wealthy family in Luoyang, Li Mobai was the one in charge. He wasn't an easy person to deal with. Sometimes, even An Tianzuo had a headache over him.

Li Xuan was out most of the year and seldom returned.

There was no need to mention Wei Ge. He was in charge of the Special Investigation Bureau and was the eyes and ears of the Federation. Now that he had joined the League of Guardians, it was even more impossible for him to be used by the An family.

Among the experts remaining on campus, Qin Zhen was the strongest.

However, An Tianzuo always believed that Qin Zhen was more suitable for the battlefield than teaching in school. Therefore, he had personally persuaded Qin Zhen to join the army many times, but Qin Zhen had rejected him.

Through their interaction, An Tianzuo knew that Qin Zhen wasn't someone who was afraid of challenges, but for some reason, she was unwilling to leave the school.

An Tianzuo found it odd that Qin Zhen had followed Zhou Wen to the An family home. After some thought, he stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

An Sheng and An Jing got up and followed An Tianzuo to the training room. They were also very curious about what Zhou Wen and Qin Zhen were doing.
