Chapter 153: The Imperial Zenith World

Although we embarked on the path of reincarnation, perhaps due to the impending tribulation of samsara, very few people were able to successfully reincarnate, and who knows how many years passed before we finally succeeded! Recalling the past, Wang Feiyu sighed with deep emotion. It is just a pity that today's Grand Ultimate Great World is no longer what it used to be!

Seeing that Elder Mo remained silent, Wang Feiyu continued, Today's Grand Ultimate Great World is divided among three major forces: the Demon Race, the Xuan Sect, and the Demonic Cultivators. None of them can overcome the others, forming a tripartite balance of power. My reincarnation happened to land right within the sphere of influence of the Demon Lord. Faced with the threat of death, I had no choice but to walk the path of a demonic cultivator.

Affairs of the world are ever-changing, but demonic cultivation is ultimately not the righteous path. Have you never thought of leaving? Hearing about Wang Feiyu's plight, Elder Mo seemed to visualize the current landscape of the Grand Ultimate Great World.

Leaving? A trace of helplessness appeared on Wang Feiyu's face. Easier said than done. By now, I have already been branded as a man of the Demon Lord. Once I leave the Demon Lord, which faction could I possibly defect to? Without sufficient resources, one cannot attain formidable strength. What life is like without strength in the Grand Ultimate Great World, you know better than anyone else, Elder!

Hearing this, Elder Mo could not help but shake his head. Indeed, for Wang Feiyu, he truly had no choice. Given the Demon Lord's current influence, he should look down upon a tiny speck of a place like Dragon Soar Star, right? Why would he send you all here?

Faced with this question from Elder Mo, Wang Feiyu hesitated slightly before answering, Although the Demon Lord narrowly survived the last samsara tribulation, his cultivation has drastically regressed and he is severely injured. By chance, he obtained a fragment of the Chaos Mirror, and now that he has gradually refined it, he can naturally sense the locations of the other fragments.

Are you saying the Demon Lord has already sensed this place? Elder Mo appeared somewhat concerned. Back in the Grand Ultimate Great World, the Demon Lord's strength was among the absolute best. Although he was damaged in the tribulation of samsara, he was definitely not someone Elder Mo's current soul-body could compare to.

You don't need to worry too much about that! Wang Feiyu immediately explained, Because the three major factions in the Grand Ultimate Great World are locked in a mutual struggle, to avoid drawing unwanted attention, the Demon Lord only arranged for the four of us to come to Dragon Soar Continent. As for the other three, if I guessed correctly, they must have already died at your hands.

Elder Mo nodded, confirming Wang Feiyu's words. With his strength, while he might not dare claim he could single-handedly defeat all cultivators across the entire Dragon Soar Continent, there was certainly no one who could be his match. Then how will you report back when you return?

Elder Mo felt some concern about this as well. The cruelty of the Demon Lord's methods was common knowledge throughout the entire Grand Ultimate Great World.

You don't need to worry about that; I have my own ways. If it doesn't work out, consider it as repaying the kindness you showed me back then—without you, there would be no Wang Feiyu today! Wang Feiyu said with a resolute expression. However, you had better still be careful. Besides Dragon Soar Star, there are people on three other medium-world planets who have also refined fragments of the Chaos Mirror. Their evolution is far superior to this little fellow's. If they sense the presence here when the time comes, they might also make a move against him, and given your current state, I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it.

Elder Mo's brows furrowed deeply. Does that mean the Chaos Mirror will manifest before long?

Indeed! Wang Feiyu said earnestly. According to the Demon Lord's deductions, the arrival of the next samsara tribulation will be the day the Chaos Mirror manifests. And the Chaos Mirror is precisely the key item to resist the tribulation of samsara; whoever holds the Chaos Mirror masters the world!

Thank you! Elder Mo knew how much pressure the other person had to bear just to tell him these things.

Still the same old saying: although I have fallen into demonic cultivation and can no longer turn back, I, Wang Feiyu, am not an ungrateful person! Seeing that Elder Mo intended to leave, Wang Feiyu added, There is another fragment of the Chaos Mirror within Dragon Soar Academy. That is all I can tell you. As for what the future holds, we can only leave it to fate.

Elder Mo cupped his fists in a salute, controlled Lin Xiaobao's body to pass through the array flag space, and walked toward the treasure-exchange convention. Although his body was controlled by Elder Mo, Lin Xiaobao did not miss a single word of the conversation between the two. Until Elder Mo returned control of the body to him, he was still digesting the information he had just obtained.

The shock of all this was simply too great for him. It turned out that in the eyes of others, the entire Dragon Soar Continent was nothing more than an inconspicuous little world. If not for the fragments of the Chaos Mirror, that aloof Demon Lord would not even have had the interest to cast a glance at it!

Just how powerful must the Grand Ultimate Great World be then? How formidable must that Demon Lord be? And what kind of existence was this so-called medium world?

Faced with such powerful existences, did he have any qualification to hold a fragment of the Chaos Mirror? Was the Chaos Mirror fragment bringing him fortune or disaster?

Watching Lin Xiaobao walk away, Wang Xiyuy retracted the four array flags, a dark smile flashing across his face, and in the blink of an eye, his entire figure vanished.

Elder Mo, what on earth is going on here? Finally, Lin Xiaobao could not help but ask aloud.

Elder Mo sighed. You already know the general picture of the matter now. As for the specifics, once you reach the Realm of Inquiring Dao and survive the heavenly tribulation, I will naturally tell you everything word for word. Knowing too much is detrimental to your Dao heart!

Survive the heavenly tribulation? Lin Xiaobao suddenly felt that his inner resolve was no longer as steadfast. How does the strength required to survive the heavenly tribulation compare to that of the Demon Lord?

Instant death! Elder Mo replied bluntly. Wang Feiyu's current cultivation has already survived the heavenly tribulation, yet before the Demon Lord, he is no different from an ordinary martial artist.

Then I... Lin Xiaobao suddenly felt that if he followed the arrangements made by Elder Mo and Elder Wu, the opponents he would have to face were so unimaginably powerful that his confidence of winning was reduced to practically nothing.

What on earth do you and Elder Wu want me to do by seeking me out? Lin Xiaobao felt he could no longer go on without even knowing his fundamental goal.

I told you, you will know everything once you survive the heavenly tribulation. Before that, do not ask anything! Elder Mo said earnestly. Furthermore, you no longer have a choice. Once you refine the Chaos Mirror fragment into your body, others who have also refined Chaos Mirror fragments will naturally perceive your aura. Without sufficient strength, you can neither protect yourself nor protect the people around you!

Standing atop the mountain peak, Lin Xiaobao remained silent, letting the gentle breeze brush past, his unfocused gaze fixed on the distance. No one knew what thoughts were churning within his heart.

As time passed, Lin Xiaobao's gaze gradually focused, and slowly, his heart began to grow firm once again. Since he had been reborn into this world, he could no longer muddle through like he did in his past life. Having lived a second time, he had to live with spirit and with boldness; otherwise, it would have been better never to have been reborn at all.

Besides, just as Elder Mo had said, if he remained dejected like this, it would not take long for others to track him down. When that time came, not only himself, but his loved ones would also suffer the same calamity. Rather than waiting for that fate, it was better to contend against destiny itself!

Lin Xiaobao believed that since heaven had granted him a chance at rebirth, it would certainly not let him perish easily.
