“Whatever your parents like best, you should provide it for them soon.

  Whatever your parents dislike, you should do your best to remove it.

  If you carelessly injure your body, your parents will worry and fret.

  If you heedlessly damage your virtue, you bring shame and disgrace to your parents…”


  Streams of strange aura swirled around them as peace descended in their hearts. The mana in the body became calm as well. Nanan had a very high perception and she started to recall all that she had done, as if she had entered a strange space and was watching a movie montage of her life.

  As she became stronger, though she did not become evil, she had hurt many people with her behavior. At that time, she thought she was right, but to the others, she was like a devil. “I had the good fortune of coming across many opportunities ever since meeting Brother Li, and I’ve advanced through the realms because of that. I now know a lot of things I didn’t know before and I’ve become swollen with pride. This caused me to discard the values I hold dear and I acted in a superior way toward others. I treated everyone kindly when I was a mortal, but now, I look down on them. I forgot that I used to be a mortal as well.”


  Her brain began to buzz as if enlightenment was being poured into her brain. “I’ll definitely lose myself if I continue to act like this. Then, I’d become so cold-blooded that I’d squish other people’s lives with no remorse!” Beads of sweat began to trickle out of her forehead and she suddenly felt fear for her future.

  Although ‘Di Zi Gui’ did not do anything to increase her strength, it was easily the most helpful thing she had come across in her life. It had pulled her off the path of wrongdoing. Only by keeping a pure heart could she fully comprehend true Wisdom. If not, she would definitely perish.

  Dragin, too, had quieted down. She bit her lip and looked troubled. ‘I’ve been a terrible kid!’ thought Dragin. While it was normal for kids to be naughty and cause their parents some headache, Dragin had surpassed the usual naughtiness and became a terror with terrifying destructive power. She started to reflect on her own behavior. ‘My actions have brought suffering to a lot of people and it’s only natural they’d be afraid of me.’


  Daji and the others had also discovered profound truths that would help them in their lives.

  “Ah, so true Wisdom’s built on a foundation of a pure heart. One would become a devil if one takes the wrong path and loses themselves.”


  “To lose one’s self is to become lost in the pursuit of Wisdom and power. This won’t only hurt myself but others as well.”


  “It must’ve taken true internal strength for the Master to willingly become a mortal. I can’t even imagine how strong his mentality is!”


  “I get it now! Being the most powerful person in the universe doesn’t mean I’m free from all rules. It means I have self-mastery and self-discipline!”


  “This is what the Master wants us to understand!”


  The book’s worth was priceless. It was even more valuable than a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure. One should not only cultivate Wisdom but one’s heart as well. They would do well to remember this. The book could be said to be the very foundation of cultivating Wisdom. They were awestruck by the expert once again. Their respect for him washed over them like a tsunami.

  “Brother Li, I’ll work hard to rewrite this book a hundred times!”


  “Me, too! One hundred times.”


  Nanan and Dragin looked at Li Nianfan in all-seriousness.

  Li Nianfan smiled and said, “That’s the spirit! You two have a promising future ahead of you.”


  Then, his gaze landed on the bunch of feathers again. ‘Sigh, what should I do to make it up to her? It’s not like I can give them back to her just like that.’ In the end, he carried a stool over, sat down next to the feathers, and started knitting.

  The feathers seemed to have come alive under his hands and little by little, they were knitted together. Halfway through the process, he went to the backyard to get a willow branch so that he could knit a circle of feathers. Soon, he finished making a feather head wreath.

  He walked out of the four-part architecture, stood outside the door, and observed the still-curled up, still sobbing angel from afar. He sighed and walked over to her.

  “Hey, umm…sorry. It’s all my fault for not teaching them right from wrong. I didn’t expect this to happen. I apologize on their behalf,” he said. He did not need to be a rocket scientist to know that the feathers were probably extremely important to the angel, especially a female angel. Nanan and the others were definitely in the wrong.

  War Angel glared at him with red eyes filled with hatred. She scoffed and turned her head away from him.

  “I know it’s too late for this but please, accept my gift of apology,” he said as he offered the head wreath to her.

  War Angel was a little dazed when she saw the head wreath. Yes, the wreath was pretty but…it was made from her feathers! She started sobbing hysterically again.

  Li Nianfan rubbed the back of his head. He was at a loss of what to do. He coughed gently and said, “Keep it as something to remember.”


  In the end, War Angel accepted the head wreath and caressed it in her arms. ‘My poor, poor feathers. I’m so sorry.’


  “I want to…go home…” said War Angel in between sobs.

  “Don’t worry. I promise I’ll ask them to let you go,” said Li Nianfan. He then went back to the four-part architecture.

  He was not going to let her go just like that. After all, she was emotionally unstable right now. She might try to kill him if he let her go then. His mind was extremely sharp when it came to matters of life and death.

  After a while, Nanan came out and opened the cage. “Sister angel, you may leave now. However, I must warn you not to seek revenge. There will be heavy consequences if you do that. Besides, you should be happy that Brother Li’s given you such a lovely gift.”


  War Angel’s breath was caught in her throat as she glared at Nanan. ‘How dare you threaten me after pulling out all my feathers? Lovely gift? This head wreath? It’s not even worth a few of my feathers!’


  Her chest heaved up and down. She knew that it was not the time to say those words out loud. She should not mess with these people. It would be best if she retreated now. She scoffed and shot out of the cage in a stream of light. If this was any other time, she would have proudly unfolded her pure white wings. Now, however, she could only keep them folded for fear of being a laughing stock.

  Meanwhile, back at the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan was knitting the remaining feathers together. “I’ll make a cushion first. I can imagine how comfortable it’ll be to sit on a cushion made from these feathers. Not to mention, I can stroke it whenever I want,” he muttered to himself. He felt slightly guilty for keeping so many of the feathers but then he tried to comfort himself with the fact that the feathers would be useless to the angel anyways.

  At the same time, the news of the Yun family’s annihilation spread throughout the entire fourth dimension which instantly kicked up a ruckus. They could not believe that they lost even with eight Wisdom Elites. Black Guardian and White Guardian especially possessed power that could not be measured! Not to mention the many Heavenly Realm fighters and Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals they brought with them. How could a lineup like this be completely annihilated? Just how strong was the seventh dimension?

  Somewhere deep inside the main hall in the Heaven Mystery Sect, the old pavilion master slowly opened his eyes. The black holes had become deeper and were giving off a thoughtful look.

  “Looks like that person who entered the state of ultimate existence is the cause for everyone’s speedy advancement. However, according to Shen Suanzi, there aren’t that many skilled fighters there. How was it possible for them to fend off the attacks from the fourth dimension? The expert must be hiding in the four-part architecture. It’s a shame Shen Suanzi and the rest were so weak that they died before getting any details.”


  The old pavilion master was ready to make a move. “It’s best if I put all my attention on the seventh dimension. I’ll use the people from the fourth dimension for another setup!”


  After that, an Origins Devouring Bug bug flew outside.

  At the Yun family manor, the Yun ancestor had come out of his meditation retreat and had sent a message to the Angel Clan, the Heaven Earth Pavilion, and the Heaven Mystery Pavilion to gather. They needed to discuss something important about the seventh dimension.

  The four powerhouses were the most powerful existences in the entire fourth dimension. The Heaven Mystery Pavilion was in the Eastern Wasteland, the Angel Clan was in the Western Region, the Yun family was in the South, and the Heaven Earth Pavilion was in the North. All of their combat powers were forces to be reckoned with.

  A mountain-like man laughed and said, “Yun Qianshan, did you call this emergency meeting to ask us to help you seek revenge? So, that’s how it works, huh? When there’s something to be gained, you don’t tell us about it, but now that you’ve been bullied, you come running for help?” His tone was full of mockery and it was obvious he was not happy that the Yun family went to the seventh dimension without him. He was the pavilion master of the Heaven Earth Pavilion after all.

  Yun Qianshan’s face was cold. He scoffed and said, “Zheng Shan, don’t deny that you secretly sent your men to follow us. Did they come back?”


  “That’s enough! The two of you, stop fighting,” said Lord Angel. There was a hint of panic in his eyes. “I’ve sent my daughter, War Angel Alina, to the seventh dimension, too, and she’s yet to come back!”


  “War Angel isn’t back, too?” Both Yun Qianshan and Zheng Shan were shocked.

  “That’s a total of nine Wisdom Elites if we include War Angel,” said Zheng Shan solemnly.

  Everyone in the fourth dimension had heard of her. War Angels were born for war and they were born with unparalleled combat power. They were the most talented existence in the Angel Clan, and the conditions for their birth were extremely harsh. It took countless years of hard work for the Angel Clan to cultivate a War Angel. She was the beloved daughter of Lord Angel, and not to mention, she was a Wisdom Elite, too. In terms of strength alone, she was probably stronger than the two Guardians!

  “It seems that we didn’t pay enough attention to the seventh dimension before, but this makes no sense. You and I both know that the seventh dimension suffered heavy losses after the catastrophe that was brought on by the Eldritchs. It’s impossible for them to recover so quickly!” said Zheng Shan.

  “Forget about War Angel! Do you know the price I’ve paid?” asked Yun Qianshan suddenly.

  “What did you do?” asked Lord Angel.

  “I’ve instructed Black Guardian and White Guardian to bring my first skeleton with them. It was completely annihilated!” said Yun Qianshan grimly.

  Lord Angel and Zheng Shan’s pupils shrank rapidly. They knew more than anyone else how powerful Yun Qianshan’s first skeleton was. That was why they were more shocked than anyone else.

  The realm of a Wisdom Elite was further divided into three smaller realms. Because the differences between those three realms were so big, instead of using ‘early’, ‘mid’, and ‘late’ to categorize them, they were categorized as ‘first step’, ‘second step’, and ‘third step’.

  Taking one step meant that they were closer to Wisdom. The three of them were already at the second step of the Wisdom Elite realm. At this step, they had reached a broader level of power. Even Wisdom would find it difficult to wipe away their existence. It was an indescribable realm and they were so powerful that a normal Wisdom Elite’s existence would be like an ant to them.

  This meant that Yun Qianshan’s first skeleton was a second step skeleton as well. It would not suffer any injury from normal attacks and it could take out a Wisdom Elite easily. The fact that this skeleton was annihilated by the seventh dimension indicated that there was an existence of a second step Wisdom Elite in the seventh dimension as well!

  “What happened exactly?” asked Zheng Shan.

  “This and that. While it’s true I descended into the seventh dimension, I didn’t manage to get much information. The main reason my skeleton was annihilated was because of Chaos Fire Spiritual Root and those three damned Chaos Divine Phoenixes!” said Yun Qingshan.

  Lord Angel was shocked. “The Chaos Divine Phoenix can only be found in the Chaos Ocean. The seventh dimension has three of them? And this Chaos Fire Spiritual Root has never appeared in the fourth dimension but the seventh dimension has them, too?”


  “Looks like the seventh dimension shouldn’t be underestimated,” said Zheng Shan in a deep voice.

  “There’s always a way to find out just how deep their power goes,” said Yun Qingshan with a smile. “According to my deductions, they must be desperate if they used the Chaos Fire Spiritual Root. It’s obvious they haven’t reached the second-step realm of Wisdom Elite. I’m confident that they’ll fall under our hands if we personally visited them.”


  Lord Angel and Zheng Shan fell into silent contemplation. They were a bit hesitant because though they were powerful, they would not do anything that would endanger their own lives. The annihilation of the Murong Clan, the loss of Origins of the third dimension, the annihilation of the two Guardian’s troops, the annihilation of Yun Qingshan’s first skeleton—all these pointed to the fact that the seventh dimension was not something they should mess with.

  The crux of the matter was that they had too little information about the seventh dimension. However, Yun Qingshan did not hold the same view as them. “Think about it. Why would three Chaos Divine Phoenixes appear in the seventh dimension? The only reason I can think of is that there’s an unimaginable treasure pulling them there.”


  Lord Angel and Zheng Shan became a little tempted. Suddenly, a few Origin Devouring Bugs flew in and an ethereal voice echoed through the air. “Sorry for being late! Yun Qianshan, your knowledge of the seventh dimension’s too shallow. You’ll definitely need me if you want to deal with the seventh dimension.”
