The Great World of Xuanhuang, inside the boundary wall.
The surrounding space rippled faintly. Gu Changge and Xing Tian'ao stepped out of the chaotic void, setting foot in this world once more.
Pure and peaceful spiritual energy instantly enveloped them, dispelling the dead silence and oppression they had brought back from beyond the boundary.
Below them lay magnificent mountains and rivers, with seas of clouds rolling across the sky—a scene brimming with vitality. It stood in stark contrast to the shattered, withered fragments of the Immortal Realm beyond the boundary.
Xing Tian'ao drew a deep breath, savoring the familiar aura of his homeland. His taut nerves finally relaxed somewhat. Yet when he looked at the white-robed figure before him, the shock and reverence in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest.
“Just how powerful is Honored Master?”
Gu Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the vast world beneath his feet. Yet deep within his calm eyes, there was a trace of solemnity that was difficult to detect.
He turned to look at Xing Tian'ao, who was still overwhelmed with emotion, and spoke:
“Tian'ao.”
His voice was calm, but it instantly made Xing Tian'ao cast aside every distracting thought. He bowed respectfully.
“Honored Master, your servant is here.”
“Although the two who came this time have been dealt with, the information obtained from their remnant souls shows that the Immortal Realm is no paradise.”
“In the eyes of the true powers of the Immortal Realm, those two were nothing more than pawns sent ahead. Two True Immortals may have come today, but tomorrow, it could be Earth Immortals—or even Heaven Immortals—who arrive in person.”
Xing Tian'ao's heart tightened. A heavy pressure descended upon him like a mountain.
He knew that Gu Changge never spoke without reason. This was no exaggeration or empty warning.
“The strength of the Great World of Xuanhuang is still far too weak!”
Gu Changge withdrew his gaze and looked at Xing Tian'ao.
“The true storm may still be ahead. Relying on a single person may protect this world for a time, but not for all eternity.”
“Now that the Dao Treasury Academy has been established and the world's outstanding talents have gathered, train them as quickly as possible.”
“Your servant shall obey Honored Master's decree! I will not fail in the task entrusted to me. I will temper unyielding pillars for Xuanhuang!”
“Go.” Gu Changge nodded slightly.
Xing Tian'ao understood. He bowed once more, then transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the Dao Treasury Academy.
After Xing Tian'ao departed, Gu Changge took a single step forward, and his figure vanished into the clouds.
The next moment, he had returned to the familiar Purple Bamboo Forest.
Purple Bamboo Peak remained just as it had always been.
A gentle breeze swept past, causing thousands of purple bamboo stalks to sway and rustle softly. Peace and tranquility filled the air.
“System, sign in.”
Gu Changge silently recited the words in his heart and began his daily mandatory routine: signing in.
“Ding! Sign-in successful!”
“Congratulations, Host. You have received a cultivation reward of ten thousand years!”
“Congratulations, Host. You have obtained ten portions of World Origin!”
“Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a secret realm: the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield!”
The system notifications rang out one after another. Gu Changge's gaze passed over the cultivation reward and settled on the final two items.
“More World Origin?
“And what is this Myriad Tribulations Battlefield?”
His thoughts stirred as he examined the reward's description.
The Myriad Tribulations Battlefield was a special spacetime—a Chaos treasure designed for trials.
Its core functions were the manipulation of time flow and combat trials.
It contained the phantoms of countless races. Through battles to the death, anyone could temper themselves, yet defeat would not result in true death.
One day in the outside world could equal a hundred days within. The flow of time could also be reversed, causing time inside to move far more slowly than in the outside world.
The Host could freely divide the internal regions and set different time flows for each, without affecting one another.
“Sounds pretty good,” Gu Changge muttered to himself.
His divine sense spread like invisible water, quietly flowing into the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield.
In an instant, it felt as though he had entered another vast world.
The mountains and rivers here were no less magnificent than those of the Great World of Xuanhuang. The spiritual energy was even purer and more abundant, while the movements of the sun, moon, and stars naturally carried profound Dao resonance.
Countless phantoms of various races, ranging from the Foundation Establishment realm to the Great Emperor realm, had condensed into lifelike forms. Their battle intent and pressure varied in strength. It was, in every sense, a complete world born solely for battle.
With a shift of his thoughts, the flow of time in one region suddenly accelerated, reaching a hundred times that of the outside world.
In another region, however, time nearly came to a standstill. The territory could be divided at will, and its laws were determined according to his wishes.
“Not bad.”
Gu Changge withdrew his divine sense, understanding everything clearly.
A trial world broader and more fertile than the Great World of Xuanhuang.
This item was practically tailor-made for Qingxuan Sect's current circumstances!
“It seems even the system believes that the strength of the Great World of Xuanhuang needs to be reinforced.”
“With this place, the elders and disciples of Qingxuan Sect will be able to increase their strength rapidly.”
Gu Changge pondered for a moment.
“I’ll connect the entrance to the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield with the Cangyun Secret Realm and conceal it. Let them go inside and make as much trouble as they like.”
Once he had made up his mind, Gu Changge raised his eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void.
He murmured in a calm voice:
“System, open my personal panel.”

Gu Changge looked toward the mountain of mundane objects piled up inside the system's storage space.
Ultimate Emperor Weapons, Innate Spiritual Marrow, undying divine medicines, divine metals and immortal materials, fine wine, all kinds of pills, and even Great Emperor Dao Fruits…
It was time to clear out his inventory.
With that thought, Gu Changge waved his hand and took out a portion of the treasures, quietly placing them in hidden locations and trial grounds throughout the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield.
“I’ve given you the treasures. Whether you can find them will depend on yourselves!”
Then he lightly raised a finger. The Chaos treasure containing the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield silently merged into the void.
The next moment, it had perfectly integrated with the sect's core, the Cangyun Secret Realm. It transformed into a seemingly ordinary vortex entrance deep within the secret realm, one that concealed boundless mysteries. Mist swirled around the entrance, while the Dao resonance remained hidden.
Next, a divine thought containing only information about the Myriad Tribulations Battlefield was precisely transmitted into the minds of the five ancestors and Xuanyangzi within the secret realm.
Deep within the Cangyun Secret Realm, the five ancestors were meditating in seclusion.
Their bodies suddenly stiffened.
The information that had forcibly surged into their minds caused their thoughts to freeze instantly.
An independent and complete trial world that even surpassed the Great World of Xuanhuang?
A controllable flow of time?
Endless battle phantoms of the myriad races of the heavens, ranging from the Foundation Establishment realm to the Great Emperor realm, allowing them to fight to the death without any danger of truly dying?
The information was so astonishing that it completely overturned their understanding.
Five powerful auras involuntarily fluctuated. The five ancestors looked at one another, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and disbelief.
By the way, a new version of the animated series seems to have come out over the past few days. Those who are interested can check it out.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
