Wait a minute, where is my master?

"Elder Tianxing indeed spent a period of time living with us in this small world,"

Nan Wubo's face bore a look of recollection as he began to speak slowly.

"He even promised to take all of us, affected by the Immortal-Demon War, back to the Nine Provinces Realm, whether out of kinship or respect for my master, Elder Bailin."

"And at one point, he almost made good on that promise..."

"But unfortunately, just when we thought that we could rely on Elder Tianxing, a top cultivator from the Mahayana Realm, to return home, those things unexpectedly summoned their 'god' for which they had offered sacrifices!"

When Nan Wubo mentioned that 'god', his body shook involuntarily.

The bearded brawny man beside him did the same.

"Even though those beings had such weak cultivation, apart from their Innate Divine Ability to flawlessly transform into anything in the world, they only knew how to wield those primitive weapons infused with the power of laws in a frantic manner.

"But I, Tongli, and Elder Tianxing never expected that the 'god' they worshipped would turn out to be so powerful! Initially, when that thing appeared, we all thought they were bluffing out of desperation.

"But who would have thought that within just three breaths, just three breaths' time, that thing actually beat Elder Tianxing until he spat blood and fainted!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Xu's brows furrowed slightly.

As his mind raced, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Nan Taoist, I know my master isn't dead. Please, go straight to the specifics about the native inhabitants of this world, and where my master might be."

Hearing this, the look of reminiscence on Nan Wubo's face paused.

He murmured, "Elder Tianxing is not dead?!

"Right, after many Cultivators from the Nine Provinces Realm were captured, they were not killed immediately but were instead thrown into what they called the Divine Array. With Elder Tianxing being at the Mahayana Realm, he must have been prime nourishment for their Divine Array."

After steadying his emotions, Nan Wubo began to describe in detail the appearance of the native inhabitants to the young Taoist.

"The native inhabitants call themselves the Chaos Clan, claiming to carry the bloodline of exotic beasts; however, their cultivation ceiling is extremely low.

"The highest among them is only at the Void Refinement Realm.

"Yet, they have an Innate Divine Ability that allows them to perfectly transform into anything and remain undetected unless attacked. And although their cultivation limit is low, they somehow came into fortune and all possess primitive weapons infused with the power of laws, a discordance like children wielding sharp treasures."

"Weapons infused with the power of laws?"

Jin Xu couldn't help but mutter to himself upon hearing this, having speculated that the forces in this foreign small world, capable of breaking through the space barrier of the Spirit Realm but choosing to ambush, likely possessed some sort of powerful weapon yet were in themselves exceedingly weak.

Now, it seemed, this was confirmed by Nan Wubo's words.

And the characteristics he described matched what he had learned from the bearded man during their telepathic conversation, which suggested he hadn't been deceived.

But if my master couldn't even withstand three breaths against that so-called 'god', how did these people escape?

The young Taoist was puzzling over this question when he heard Nan Wubo continue to speak slowly, raising his head.

"As for Elder Tianxing's whereabouts... I'm not precisely sure. On the day the 'god' of the Chaos Clan appeared, none of us could put up any resistance, completely petrified on the spot.

"And that 'god', whether it was because it didn't bother with the likes of us or some other reason, took Elder Tianxing and then vanished into thin air.

However, I suspect that since Elder Tianxing is still alive, he is likely there."

As he said this, Nan Wubo slowly raised his hand and pointed towards the sky.

The young Taoist looked up following the direction of the other's gaze and saw that he was pointing at the object hanging high in the sky, which resembled the sun.

"Those things hide there during the day, only venturing out to hunt the remnants of various clans in the small world when night falls. Oh, and this small world isn't home to just the few survivors from the Nine Provinces. Over the span of thousands of years, we've encountered Cultivators from various other large and small worlds a few times.

"However, for the most part, we observed each other from a distance and didn't interact much."

"Other worlds' Cultivators are here in this unfamiliar small world?"

Jin Xu was initially startled to hear this, then found it reasonable.

After all, this unfamiliar small world could have existed for who knows how long; it couldn't have only attacked the Spirit Realm.

"However, I really didn't expect their landing spot to actually be in the sky."

The young Taoist muttered to himself, and in an instant, his Spiritual Sense stretched towards the sun-like object in the sky.

"Thank you, Nan Taoist, for the information."I'm in a hurry to rescue my master so I won't linger here any longer. Take care of yourselves. Once I've saved my master, I'll come back to take you all to the Nine Provinces Realm."

Jin Xu finally got the information he wanted, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Spiritual Power that had enveloped the diamond-shaped object disappeared instantly.

He took a stride like an arrow and returned above the Stone Forest, inside the Golden Spiritual Power Shield, with a whoosh he headed straight for the sparkling 'sun' above.

The young Taoist's action was incredibly swift, and by the time Nan Wubo reacted, the other party was about to collide with the 'sun' above.

"Elder Nan, how can he be so impulsive, he's rashly..."

The bearded, burly man hadn't finished his sentence when a loud boom resonated in the sky!

Immediately afterward.

The 'sun' that hung high in the sky exploded with a burst of light a hundred times more dazzling than usual.

With a soft puff.

It went out.

"This, this, this..."

The bearded, burly man felt his stone head short out, and Nan Wubo's expression was not much better.

For some reason, an intuition suddenly arose in his heart.

"It seems this time... they really can return to the Nine Provinces."

...

On the extinguished 'sun'.

A hole the same size as the Golden Spiritual Power Shield appeared on it.

Within the hole.

Dust, wails, and roars mixed with unintelligible words were chaotically intertwined.

And Jin Xu, while controlling the Golden Spiritual Power Shield, strode boldly into the interior of the 'sun'.

Don't blame him for being impulsive this time.

First, the young Taoist now had confidence in his own strength.

Second, just as he had extended his Spiritual Sense into this sun-like object, Jin Xu saw his own master's true body at the center of a huge Formation, filled with various dark crystals.

Having searched for his master for so long, and now finally able to see him alive, he certainly was too eager to rush in.

However.

Just like a knight who saves the dragon and defeats the princess.

Under these circumstances, the people of the Chaos Clan living inside the 'sun' would certainly not let the young Taoist's actions go smoothly. After Jin Xu and his party had traveled about several dozen zhang.

The people of the Chaos Clan finally figured out who had crashed a big hole into their homeland while they were asleep.

Thus, the advance of the young Taoist and his companions was blocked by a group of strange creatures with dark yellow skin, no facial features except for a gaping mouth, and emaciated limbs, armed with long spears, bows, and other weapons.

"Are these the people of the Chaos Clan? Why do they look so... strange."

Jin Xu muttered softly to himself and before he could act,

He saw the one at the forefront with the largest mouth, casually wave his long spear and a spatial crack suddenly appeared in front of the Golden Spiritual Power Light Shield.
