Lingxiao's Unusual Movement

The Immortal Realm, Hall of Infinite Treasures.

After Wuji had just finished consoling the Zhang family grandfather and grandson—his loyal subordinates—he soon received another piece of good news.

The newly emerged Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Myriad Mysteries Ring, had not fallen into the hands of that little bastard!

Although the treasure had concealed all information about its chosen master upon emerging, Wuji had caught a fleeting glimpse—it was a very young man!

"Heh, causing such a commotion, thinking sheer strength alone would earn the favor of a Supreme Treasure?"

"What a pipe dream!"

"If Supreme Treasures chose their masters based on power alone, wouldn’t I, the Immortal Emperor, have already collected all nine Chaos Supreme Treasures by now?"

"Treasures have spirits; only the destined may obtain them!"

"When it comes to fortune, Ling Xiao takes the crown. He alone possesses three Chaos Supreme Treasures, sailing smoothly through life, rising from nothing to everything in an era of chaos and upheaval. He even had the audacity to sacrifice one Supreme Treasure to forcibly ascend to the throne of Immortal Emperor!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If not for his reckless wastefulness, his ungrateful and ruthless nature, and the accumulation of karma that eventually backfired, I wouldn’t have had the chance to overthrow him..."

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Wuji’s eyes.

Ling Xiao’s journey was the stuff of envy. Though he often faced danger, he never once teetered on the brink of death. Every time, he inexplicably turned peril into safety—pure, incomprehensible luck!

And Wuji?

Every step was like walking on thin ice!

Under the oppressive rule of Ling Xiao’s Celestial Court, he had schemed and plotted for countless millennia, each move a precarious balancing act. A single misstep would have plunged him into an abyss of eternal damnation!

His rise to power was built on sheer strength alone!

What was Ling Xiao? Just trash who relied on luck to break through every encirclement!

The contrast between them couldn’t be clearer.

"Ling Xiao, you’ve dodged fate time and again, but can you keep evading forever?"

"The net is closing in. I’ll find you soon."

"This time, I won’t let you escape!"

Wuji’s gaze darkened. Confirming that the little bastard hadn’t obtained the Chaos Supreme Treasure, he immediately turned his spear toward Ling Xiao.

Meanwhile.

In a mysterious realm.

The shattered remnants of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk hovered silently.

Ling Xiao’s avatar slowly materialized, his expression grave as he stared toward the location where the Supreme Treasure had emerged.

Though the treasure had instantly concealed all information about its young master, he knew exactly who that young man was!

Not because he was more formidable than Wuji, the reigning Immortal Emperor, capable of piercing through the treasure’s karmic defenses to spy on its master’s identity—but because...

He had made it his mission to learn everything about Chen Yi, and he had investigated thoroughly!

Fang Fan, hailing from the Tian Shu Star Domain. His father, Fang Zheng, was a transmigrator, a core member of the 108th Multiverse Transmigrators Mutual Aid Group, and one of Chen Yi’s most capable subordinates!

What did this mean?

It meant Fang Fan obtaining a Chaos Supreme Treasure was tantamount to Chen Yi obtaining one!

"Tsk—"

"This is bad!"

"That little freak now has a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure. Given his temperament, he won’t confront Wuji head-on. Instead, he’ll devour me first!"

"No, no, no!"

"Wuji once projected his will onto the Creation Disk’s spirit, but by then, the disk was already damaged, its crucial memories lost. He likely doesn’t know Fang Fan is connected to Chen Yi!"

"Sigh, I need to find a way to tip him off. Those two must tear each other apart, or I’ll be the one suffering..."

After a moment of hesitation, Ling Xiao decided to take the risk.

Tian Shu Star Domain.

Three years had passed since Chen Yi’s investment—a small immortal vein worth ten thousand immortal spirit stones.

Three years east of the river, three years west!

The once lifeless world, ravaged by the former Supremes, had undergone a complete transformation. Now, vitality surged, and all things flourished in fierce competition!

With ample resources, the Tian Shu Heavenly Dao worked diligently, smoothly advancing from a half-step Transcendent Tribulation realm to a true Transcendent Tribulation-level world!

Of course, the Immortal Realm under Wuji’s control no longer issued ascension qualifications, cutting off the path to immortality. By all rights, Tian Shu’s Transcendent Tribulation status shouldn’t be legitimate.

But there was no helping it—the Tian Shu Star Domain had the Fang family, and the Fang family had produced two Supremes!

Not the false Transcendent Supremes of old, who preyed upon the masses, but genuine Supremes capable of standing tall and bringing glory to Tian Shu!

The first-generation Supreme, Fang Zheng, held an official second-rank position in the Zi Wei Immortal Court—Chief of the Tian Ji Academy, one of the Six Great Academies!

With such high status, arranging ascension qualifications and reopening the celestial pathway for his homeland was hardly difficult.

Thus, with favorable policies from the Zi Wei Immortal Realm, Tian Shu quickly stabilized its Transcendent Tribulation status. Over these three years, several self-sealed ancient freaks emerged, forcefully proving their Dao and ascending to the Zi Wei Immortal Realm!

The second-generation Supreme, Fang Fan, was no ordinary figure either!

Though he only held a ninth-rank position in the Zi Wei Celestial Treasury as a Wealth Attracting Envoy, he was groomed with the standards of a second-rank Heavenly Official—the Civil God of Wealth!

As a result, every time Tian Shu sent talent to the Zi Wei Immortal Realm, it received generous resource compensation in return.

Cultivating a being capable of ascension was no easy feat—it consumed vast amounts of the world’s essence and resources. Without timely replenishment, the world would regress.

The Zi Wei Immortal Realm of old had bankrupted itself by sending talent to the higher realm without compensation, leading to its continuous decline.

Having once endured such hardship, it now ensured that when drawing talent from other worlds, it provided ample compensation—enough to profit while ensuring fairness.

Of course, while the compensation was generous, it didn’t always include resources the world urgently needed.

It wasn’t that basic immortal energy was bad, but a little elemental variety could go a long way in balancing the world’s imbalances!

This was where having connections in high places paid off.

As a Heavenly Official in the Zi Wei Celestial Treasury, Fang Fan only needed to drop a word, and the compensation sent to Tian Shu would shift from generic resources to precisely what was needed.

Naturally, this stayed within the rules. The compensation never exceeded the quota—it merely customized the allocation.

Thus, under the care of the Fang family’s dual Supremes, Tian Shu lived in comfort.

The Tian Shu Heavenly Dao only needed to focus on selecting and nurturing talent, then sending them off in exchange for resources.

The philosophy was simple: nurture the world with riches, let the masses fend for themselves—Tian Shu needed to grow too!

Yet, just as the Tian Shu Heavenly Dao was happily counting heads and resources...

A monumental variable quietly took root in a minor clan of the Northern Wastes.

In a dim dungeon, a battered young man lay on a bed of straw, barely clinging to life—when suddenly, his body stiffened!

[Ding! Supreme Check-In System successfully bound.]

[Host can check in at specific locations to receive generous rewards.]

[Detecting host in critical condition. Newcomer’s Gift Pack has been issued.]

["You must arrive at the first check-in location within three days—the Wang Family Ruins at Mount Jilei in Yunzhou!"]

["Failure to comply will result in host elimination!"]

"What... is this?" The young man's eyes widened in shock.

As a local, he didn’t fully grasp the concept of a "system" or its mystical powers.

But that didn’t stop him from clinging to this mysterious voice as his lifeline!

When he opened the beginner’s gift pack and saw the top-tier resources inside, a surge of adrenaline shot straight to his head.

"Hahaha! Doesn’t the saying go—heaven never seals off all exits? I’m saved, I’m actually saved!!!"

OS: Burned out. Sending love for the day.
