Say the coolest words, take the hardest beatings.

“My son… Inosuke! He’s already gone ahead. The Young Master should still be safe…”

“Ninja, go protect the Young Master too!”

Under the influence of the illusion, the old woman trembled uncontrollably, yet she never forgot the Young Master’s safety, desperately trying to suppress the fear in her heart.

“Your son? Inosuke? The Young Master??”

Zhong Yi suddenly felt that the old woman’s voice sounded familiar.

“Wait… Are you the old granny who gave me the wind chime?!”

Zhong Yi slapped his forehead as the memory of his brief encounter with the old woman suddenly came back to him.

Of course, chronologically speaking, that encounter had happened three years later.

Back then, when he saw the old granny on the roof of a dilapidated house, she had mistaken him for “Inosuke” and given him the wind chime, asking him to pray for the Young Master.

Now, everything made sense!

“Granny, you helped me, and your son helped me too… So you can leave this to me without worry!”

Zhong Yi nodded solemnly.

The livestream chat immediately erupted in laughter.

[He’s saying something cool again!]

[He says the coolest things and takes the hardest beatings.]

[Not long from now, the old lady will be saying: “I must’ve been blind to send you to save the Young Master.”]

[You know, her eyes really did go blind later…]

…

“Pah! Are you badmouthing me again? I’m telling you, handling this alone might be a little difficult, but as long as I team up with Inosuke, there’s no one I can’t—Huh?”

Zhong Yi suddenly cut himself off again.

Not far away, the familiar figure of Inosuke was sprawled in front of an entranceway, his fate unknown.

“Holy crap!! Brother Inosuke! Who did this?!”

Zhong Yi hurried over and placed a finger beneath Inosuke’s nose. Fortunately, he was still breathing, albeit faintly.

“You’re… the Young Master’s…”

Inosuke struggled to open one eye and forced out a few words.

“I advise you not to go any farther… That illusion is simply too terrifying…”

“Without a Chime Seed, there’s no way to break it…”

“This is all that’s left… I entrust it to you…”

After handing a mass of golden light to Zhong Yi, Inosuke’s head lolled to the side, and he passed out.

[Chime Seed: Removes the effects of illusions.]

“So it really is an illusion! In other words… there’s an illusionist here?”

Zhong Yi accepted the Chime Seed and immediately became serious.

As for the illusionist profession, how should one put it? In the cultivation world of the past, they were little more than cannon fodder.

But ever since Lu Ze, that monstrous genius, appeared, things had changed completely.

Especially within illusionary realms—when it came to professions related to illusions, none of them were weak.

For example, in To the Lunar Realm, the Master of the Dreamweaving Sect personally played by Lu Ze had angered countless cultivators to the point of grinding their teeth.

“Could Junior Brother Lu be making another heartfelt performance? This time, I’ve got a blade. I’m definitely going to beat him senseless!”

Hatefully, Zhong Yi drew Kusabimaru, entered the room, and opened the hatch leading to the basement.

“An underground Buddhist hall? Isn’t this the key my adoptive father gave me?”

Seeing the locked door before him, Zhong Yi immediately remembered the key he had obtained from Owl. Sure enough, it opened the door with ease.

The instant he pushed the door open, the illusion once again shifted into a cinematic sequence.

Inside the secret underground Buddhist hall, raging flames blazed as the beams overhead continued to collapse.

Dressed in white, Kuro wandered through the firelight with a dazed look in his eyes, as though he had not yet woken up. Stretching out both hands, he murmured:

“Father, Mother, Butterfly… Where did everyone go?”

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.
