Lin Ruoshi felt the pill in her hand grow heavy with significance. She never would have expected its medicinal effects to be so powerful that it could allow someone at the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm to break through into the Boundary-Breaking Realm.
[Favorability +20]
She had to keep this pill safe and wait until she reached the perfected Transcendent Realm before taking it. Otherwise, its effects would be wasted.
“Hahaha! I can’t wait to see Fu Jinyu and let her experience what it means to be completely crushed.”
Nalan Shisan chuckled. “I can already imagine the look on her face.”
“Uh… Sister Empress has already entered the Boundary-Breaking Realm.”
Xu Mu awkwardly rubbed his head.
“What? You were the one who helped her improve, weren’t you? She was clearly weaker than me before. How could she have entered the Boundary-Breaking Realm before I did? And I only managed to break through after taking your pill.”
Nalan Shisan’s expression instantly turned serious.
“I happened to obtain a divine medicine earlier. Since Fu Jinyu was nearby, I gave her one as well. I didn’t expect her to break through immediately.”
Xu Mu offered an explanation.
Compared to Nalan Shisan, the truly shocked ones were Li Hongdou and Lin Ruoshi.
What was going on?
Xu Mu had obtained a divine medicine before—and had even given one to someone else?
Could this be some kind of hobby of his?
Neither of them could understand why he would give away something so precious instead of keeping it for himself.
Lin Ruoshi lowered her head even further. Her master really hadn’t been lying to her—Xu Mu was indeed an outstanding man.
But was she truly worthy of marrying Xu Mu and becoming his wife?
“Damn it!”
Nalan Shisan snorted. “She got ahead of me. Fortunately, I haven’t run into her during this time.”
“Xu Mu, I’ve already reported the situation to my superiors. You have two choices now.”
Li Hongdou paused before continuing, “First, return the way you came. Second, continue into the Inner World and investigate the Snow Woman Clan.”
Xu Mu considered this for a moment before looking at Chen Xuan. “Old Chen, what do you think?”
“We’ve only just arrived today. Why don’t we go in and make another attempt?”
Chen Xuan smiled. “I didn’t even get a chance to fight this time.”
“Fine.”
Xu Mu nodded. He had been thinking the same thing.
He also wanted to find out whether Hat Bro had ultimately fought the Heavenly Imperial Clan.
That protagonist was incredibly powerful. Xu Mu definitely needed to prepare for him in advance.
“Good. I’ll call them and let them know.”
After saying this, Li Hongdou took out her phone and walked toward the distance.
“I’ve already entered the Boundary-Breaking Realm. Do you need my help?”
Nalan Shisan smiled as she linked her arm through Xu Mu’s.
“No need. Old Chen and I can handle it. The next time we head to another Inner World, I’ll ask for your help.”
Xu Mu shook his head.
“All right. I happen to be planning to return and check on my territory.”
Nalan Shisan nodded.
After Li Hongdou finished her call, files were sent to Xu Mu and Chen Xuan’s phones.
Xu Mu took a quick look. They contained detailed information on the Sanitation Office’s current investigation into the Inner World.
Before leaving, Li Hongdou also handed Xu Mu the Boundary Fire she was carrying, but Xu Mu declined it.
He said that he already had one himself.
Li Hongdou secretly marveled at this. Boundary Fire could not be stored in a spatial ring, and she had no idea where Xu Mu kept his. Even when he had been captured, no one had found it during the search.
But that was everyone’s personal secret. She and Xu Mu were not yet close enough to tell each other everything.
In the end, Li Hongdou, Lin Ruoshi, Nalan Shisan, and Zhang Wei all left.
Since Zhang Wei’s identity had been exposed, there was naturally no reason for him to remain there.
Once they were gone, only Xu Mu, Chen Xuan, and Orange remained at the shrine.
When Orange saw the two vigorous young men in front of her, her expression immediately darkened.
“I advise you not to get any wicked ideas. I’m disgusting, you know. I wet my pants all the time, and they already stink.”
“Don’t worry. We’re not interested in you.”
Xu Mu looked at Chen Xuan. “Old Chen, take her to the Hanyu family’s territory first and investigate the situation. If she causes trouble, deal with her directly.”
Orange’s face immediately turned deathly pale.
However, the man carrying a woven urea sack on his back looked fairly honest. She planned to see whether she could escape once the two of them were alone.
“Brother Mu, what about you?” Chen Xuan asked.
Xu Mu placed his hand against the back of Chen Xuan’s hand, reinforcing the communication formation and extending its duration.
His voice also reached Chen Xuan’s ears.
“This time, I rescued the leader of another clan that refuses to submit to the Heavenly Imperial Clan—the Ghost Clan. I plan to go there first and gather some information, then meet up with you.”
Chen Xuan nodded.
In the end, taking advantage of the night, the group used the formation here and returned to the Inner World with the aid of the Boundary Fire Xu Mu carried.
After Xu Mu and Chen Xuan left the field of rubble, they went their separate ways.
…
Xu Mu opened his phone and followed the map provided in the files toward the Ghost Clan’s territory.
The clan was located inland, far from the coast, roughly five hundred kilometers from the point where the Inner and Outer Worlds intersected.
Xu Mu discovered that the only advantage of the Inner World was that he could release qi without restraint.
Relying on his powerful physique, he raced across the land. Each step shook the earth like an earthquake, sending clouds of dust billowing behind him.
However, the Inner World was vast and sparsely populated. No one noticed him, especially in the middle of the night.
When he arrived at his destination, he saw two mountain peaks ahead. Buildings had been constructed along the slopes, and numerous solar-powered streetlamps illuminated the roads. Even at this hour, quite a few people were still patrolling the area.
Xu Mu calculated that Gedo Kazuya must have already reached the territory by now.
He did not force his way in. Instead, he approached openly.
As soon as he drew near, the guards patrolling in the distance immediately moved toward him.
“Who are you?” the burly leader shouted at Xu Mu.
“I was imprisoned with your clan leader before. I was the one who rescued him. Please inform him that I’m here.”
Xu Mu calmly walked toward them.
“I asked who you are. Just answer my question.”
The leader’s voice was stern.
“I’m from the Outer World. I…”
Boom!
Before Xu Mu could finish speaking, the burly man suddenly transformed.
His face became ferocious, his mouth filled with sharp fangs. His hair grew disheveled, and a pair of horns appeared on his head. He had transformed into a terrifying red-faced ghost, the very image of a vicious spirit.
Xu Mu was secretly startled. So this was the Two-Faced Ghost Clan.
According to the information in the files, members of this clan had two faces. The vicious-ghost appearance before him was their combat form.
“Seize him!” the vicious ghost roared.
“There’s no need to go to all that trouble. I’ll come with you.”
Xu Mu’s expression remained calm. Once they captured him, they would certainly report the matter to their superiors.
Then he would be able to meet Gedo Kazuya as well.
“Consider yourself sensible!”
The vicious ghost returned to his original appearance.
The group escorted Xu Mu to a cave at the foot of the mountain.
The instant he entered, the darkness surrounding him vanished. He found himself standing in a meadow beneath a bright, cloudless sky.
This was a seventh-level illusion formation, one Xu Mu could easily dispel.
In the end, he was shoved into a cage made of vines.
He was in no hurry. He simply sat inside the cage and waited quietly.
Before long, two people approached from the distance.
A woman led the way.
She was dressed in a kimono and had shoulder-length hair. Dark-red eyeshadow surrounded her eyes, making her look as though she had stepped straight out of a stage performance. She appeared to be in her twenties.
Her figure was not as impressive as Nalan Shisan’s, but she was still quite shapely.
She stood before the cage holding Xu Mu, her voice agitated yet dark. “You know where my father is? Tell me right now, or you’ll die horribly!”
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
