Everyone was silent as they stared blankly at the serene-looking Master Tongxin. They were rendered speechless. How could a mighty Heavenly Realm fighter die just like that? Not to mention, the way he died was so miserable that even his Origins of Life had been erased. It was incredible and domineering at the same time.

  After a long while, they all gasped at the same time as their skulls went numb.

  “What happened? How did Master Tongxin die?!”


  “Was his death really brought on by peeking into that person’s soul?”


  “What did he see that caused him to go blind, mute, and die?!”


  “This is truly bizarre! There’s definitely something weird going on in the seventh dimension!”


  “Invisible, unspeakable, and unknowable! This kind of existence is rare even in our fourth dimension.”


  Everyone looked at Gu Yuan and goosebumps instantly broke out all over their bodies. Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng were equally horrified. Although they knew that Gu Yuan was very strange, they did not expect that the cost of peeking into his soul would be so high. Fortunately, Master Tongxin volunteered to be a guinea pig.

  Ye Qingshan pretended to be sad and said, “I warned you that there’s something strange about him. You can’t forcefully peek into his soul. It’s all my fault for not stopping Master Tongxin.” He furtively glanced at Black Guardian and White Guardian, expecting them to volunteer to peek into Gu Yuan’s soul. He could not wait to see them end up the same way as Master Tongxin did. That would teach them a lesson for acting so arrogantly in front of him.

  However, no one would foolishly put themselves in danger. They had learned from Master Tongxin’s mistake. Even if they had infinite power, they would not dare to peek into Gu Yuan’s soul. The most gleeful out of the bunch of people present was of course Gu Yuan. He laughed and said, “Come at me, you fools! I dare you to peek into my soul! My head’s here! Come one!” He gradually gained confidence. ‘I have nothing to fear with the expert backing me up! I wish you’d all come peek into my soul so that I can kill you all!’


  Black Guardian’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, a black light flickered. A black nail instantly pierced Gu Yuan’s throat. The black nail was filled with evil and cruel aura. Black blood started to flow out of Gu Yuan’s throat, making him unable to make a sound. It was a good thing he could not feel any pain. If not, he would have begged for death.

  Black Guardian smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, “How dare a mere prisoner act so cocky in front of me? Gather some people to follow me to the seventh dimension. Let’s use this person as bait!”


  As soon as this statement was made, everyone started to frown as their eyes flickered. One of the elders opened his mouth and said, “Black Guardian, it looks like the seventh dimension’s more dangerous than we thought. I’m afraid we’ll be at a disadvantage if we act rashly. Why don’t we take some time to strategize?”


  “Yeah, Master Tongxin’s the best example of how we could end up. We might not be their match,” added someone.

  “Hahaha, I don’t think so!” Black Guardian’s eyes were deep, revealing a kind of wisdom that suggested he had already seen everything. He smiled lightly and said, “If you all think so, you’ve fallen for the trick of the seventh dimension!”


  Everyone was taken aback, and said in doubt, “Oh?”


  “There are only two possibilities to explain why Master Tongxin ended up that way. First, he saw something that should not be seen and could not handle it. Thus, he had been completely wiped out by Wisdom, but what’s the possibility of that?” said Black Guardian.

  Everyone thought about his question but Black Guardian already had an answer. “I’m very familiar with Master Tongxin’s soul peeking method. Our opponent might’ve even surpassed the power of Master Ye if he could make Master Tongxin break down like that! He might even have surpassed the level of a Wisdom Elite, but this is obviously impossible! So, that leaves only the second possibility.”


  Everyone’s heart jumped slightly, and they asked, “What’s the second possibility?”


  “A big taboo was planted on this person! There are two purposes for this—one’s to hide information from us for fear that we’ll know more about him. The other’s to deter us and fool us into thinking that he’s very strong, to scare us against acting rashly,” replied Black Guardian

  As soon as this answer came out, realization dawned on everyone’s faces.

  “It makes sense! There’s a high possibility of that!”


  “Way to go, Black Guardian! The analysis is so thorough. Nothing escapes your notice.”


  “The second possibility’s the most plausible. The fact that they deliberately set up such a big taboo just shows that he’s afraid of us!”


  Black Guardian raised his hands to silence everyone before saying, “The seventh dimension’s too young, and as far as I know, the seventh dimension became very weak and pitiful after the last catastrophe. There’s no way it could’ve developed so fast. Therefore, we must attack as soon as possible and not fall for their tricks! Besides, I have a few tricks given by the master, too. I’m confident we can deal with anything unexpected.”


  White Guardian stood up at the right time and said loudly, “The Ye Clan’s willing to take the lead in the charge. Who wants to join us? Don’t worry, you’ll surely be richly rewarded at the end of it all.”


  “There’s nothing to be afraid of with the Ye Clan leading the charge.”


  “I’m sure there’ll be some leftover resources for us once the Ye Clan has taken their share.”


  “I’m going!”


  “Me, too!”


  “Go, go, go!”


  Suddenly, everyone became lively and excited. They came here to find out more about the seventh dimension and now that the Ye Clan was willing to take the lead, they naturally wanted to join. The seventh dimension was a great temptation to them, especially since they had already stolen the Origins of the third dimension.

  Black Guardian smiled with satisfaction and said, “Very well. Those who are at the level of Wisdom Elite, sign up here and get ready. We’ll set off right away.”


  Immediately, a few unremarkable figures stood up.

  “Count me in! I’m eager to join in the fun,” said Wei Wuya.

  “Me, too! I’ll be under your care now, Black and White Guardian,” said Moqiang Yunkong.

  Among them, some were old powerful fighters who usually shunned the world, some were top-ranked fighters, and some were sect masters that signed up for the war. In total, there were eight Wisdom Elites, including Black Guardian and White Guardian. Most of the fighters who had signed up were Heavenly Realm Fighters and they hoped they would be able to break through to the Wisdom Elite level with the help of the seventh dimension’s resources. This lineup was so awe-inspiring that everyone’s hearts could not help but swell up with pride.

  Black Guardian smiled domineeringly and said, “We might even be able to suppress the entire seventh dimension with our combined power. Everyone follow me…and charge!”


  The portal was vibrating. The terrifying power raged toward the seventh dimension like a storm.

  The huge Godship of the Ye Clan entered the seventh dimension. On the Godship, the eight Wisdom Elites, headed by Black Guardian and White Guardian, stood at the forefront. Behind them were the people from the fourth dimension, all looking greedily at the seventh dimension.

  “Let’s wipe out some small world to warm up!” said Black Guardian loudly, quickly steering the Godship into landing.

  “Kill all! Plunder all!”


  “Weak! Too weak! Is this all the people of the seventh dimension can dish out?”


  “Hahaha, slaughtering’s so fun!”


  This small world stood no chance against the intruders at all. It was instantly destroyed and the Spiritual Qi was looted until it turned into a dead planet. The Godship continued to move forward, annihilating one small world after another on their way to their destination.

  At the highest point of the Godship, the extremely weak Gu Yuan was nailed to a cross, his whole body riddled with holes. He was like a flower in a storm that would perish at any time.

  With crimson eyes, he watched one small world after another turn into dust, and even saw tens of thousands of mortals being devoured by the demons from the fourth dimension.

  “Just as I expected, the seventh dimension’s very weak and there aren’t many Wisdom Elites. There isn’t any strong combat power at all. We should just force the person backing him to come out!” said Black Guardian knowingly as they slaughtered their way across the seventh dimension.

  Next, instead of killing all the people he saw, he purposely kept them alive to pass on the message, asking Gu Yuan’s backing to come to them if they wanted to save Gu Yuan. Another catastrophe had descended upon the Chaos as 23 small worlds were already annihilated.

  The people in the Heavenly Palace had already received the news.

  “How dare the fourth dimension people attack us! Do they really think we can’t fight them off?” said the Jade Emperor angrily.

  “Gu Yuan’s still alive! They’re using him as bait. We need to rescue him no matter what!”


  “But how are we going to fight them off? They have so many Wisdom Elites and we only have Yang Jing who’s a half-step into the realm of the Wisdom Elite.”


  Sadness appeared on everyone’s faces.

  “We have no choice but to ask the expert for help under these circumstances,” said Cultivator Junjun. He quickly made his way to the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

  At this time, Li Nianfan was making dim sum with glutinous rice flour with Nanan and others.

  “Preparing glutinous rice flour isn’t complicated, as long as the ratio of water to glutinous rice flour’s right.

  “Pay attention to what I’m doing. Flatten the glutinous rice dough, fill it with brown sugar, roll it into a ball, coat it with a layer of sesame seeds, and deep fry it. Ta-da, the sesame balls are done. We can add this to our breakfast menu.

  “Next, I’ll make some osmanthus cake for you. This is the best dessert ever. Watch closely now.”


  Li Nianfan’s hands and Nanan’s and Dragin’s faces were all covered in glutinous rice flour, making them look ridiculous.

  Suddenly, Cultivator Junjun’s voice came from outside the door. “Is Lord Saint home?”


  “Come in,” said Li Nianfan serenely.

  Cultivator Junjun pushed open the door and entered. Looking in the direction of Li Nianfan and the others, he immediately felt a rush of great Wisdom aura spreading over the surface. Around the basin where the glutinous rice flour was mixed, the Power of Wisdom was clearly manifesting.

  ‘The expert’s making some heaven-defying delicacy again! He’s so awesome!’ thought Cultivator Junjun. Then, out loud, he said, “Greetings, Lord Saint and goddesses.”


  Li Nianfan could sense he was in a rush and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”


  Cultivator Junjun sighed and said, “Something did happen. Beings from the fourth dimension have broken into the seventh dimension and are wantonly destroying everything in their path.”


  Nanan’s eyes flashed suddenly. “Sh*t! Have they really come?”


  Dragin scrunched up her nose. “They’re too much! Crazy people! They did this to provoke us!”


  Li Nianfan glanced at them and thought, ‘Why do I get the sense the two of them are very excited about this? These two are so naughty. There’ll definitely be chaos everywhere if they had their way.’


  He already knew that the fourth dimension was the one that attacked Yang Jing and Gu Yuan but he did not expect them to attack the seventh dimension so soon. It seemed like they were very confident about their own power. There was only one reason for Cultivator Junjun to come here then and that was to ask for reinforcements.

  Nanan was very eager to go and volunteered herself. “Brother Li, please, let me go and teach the people from the fourth dimension a lesson. I’ll make sure to beat them up so badly that their parents won’t even recognize them.”


  “I want to go, too! I’ll bring some game meat back for you and we can even build a zoo in the mountains!” said Dragin excitedly.

  ‘A game meat zoo? What a good idea!’ However, Li Nianfan glared at them and said worriedly, “Do you think this is a game? They’re all very dangerous people.”


  Nanan waved her small fist, smiled, and said, “Oh, don’t worry, Brother Li. We’re very strong, too!” She and Dragin had just broken through to the realm of Wisdom Elite and were very eager to test out their new powers. This was the perfect opportunity for them and they wished they could fly off immediately. Besides, they wanted to avenge the fallen soldiers of the Heavenly Palace and were sure that this would cheer up Li Nianfan, too.

  Qin Manyun and Shi Tuqin also stood up and said, “Master, we want to go, too.”


  Li Nianfan nodded. “Okay, you’re all cultivators and should contribute to the protection of the Chaos, but you must remember that safety’s the first priority. I’ll make some snacks and wait for you to come back.”


  “Yes, Brother Li. Don’t worry,” said Dragin with a giggle.

  Nanan was jumping from foot to foot. “We’re off to annihilate demons, then, Brother Li!”


  “Goodbye, Lord Saint,” said Cultivator Junjun.

  They quickly rushed out of the four-part architecture. At the same time, the chickens in the corner silently raised their heads, looked at each other, and began talking.

  Cluck, cluck, cluck.

  “Sisters, Gu Yuan’s been tortured, what say you?”


  “We need to avenge him no matter what. He’s the one who gave us to the expert and because of that, we received an abundance of opportunities.”


  “I agree. Gu Yuan’s my human pet. Torturing him is like a slap to my face.”


  “We need to teach his captors a lesson!”


  “Let’s sneak out of the backyard when the expert isn’t paying attention.”


  Somewhere in a small world in the Chaos, a place had been reduced to a place of death and silence with corpses all over the field, bones piled up like mountains, and a river that dried up before turning into a river of blood!

  The people in the fourth dimension seemed to be tired of slaughtering. After the small world was destroyed, they stayed put, hung Gu Yuan high, and waited quietly for a response from the seventh dimension.

  “You were right, Black Guardian. The seventh dimension’s very weak. Why don’t we go straight to the Area of the Gods?” asked someone impatiently.

  “That would be stupid to do. It’s best to lure them out,” said Black Guardian calmly. Then, he looked towards Gu Yuan and asked, “Do you think they’ll come and save you?”
