…
“Is this… an illusion?”
A young man in brocade clothing eyed his surroundings suspiciously: “Could it be that bandits are using Daoist techniques to play tricks on me? Let me go, and you will surely be satisfied with the ransom…”
While shouting, his eyes darted around.
There were nine others, men and women, all wearing expressions of panic, seemingly impossible to associate with criminals.
No! There was one exception!
His gaze sharpened on a man in black.
Around thirty years old, with sharp eyes and an eagle-like stare, this man, although showing some panic, was carefully observing his surroundings. His aura was powerful, exuding a terrifying pressure.
“This person… has the same aura as my family’s martial arts master. Could he be a martial cultivator, the bandit leader perhaps? Or maybe he is just like me…”
The young man pondered, his eyes gleaming with a unique light.
“Cough! My name is Ning Wan, a scholar from Cangping County in Qingzhou. I wonder who all of you are…”
At this moment, a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood up and bowed to everyone around.
“That’s impossible, I was definitely in Qianzhou!”
A man who looked like a woodcutter sat half-raised, his face full of confusion.
“Tianzun wulian… I was meditating in a cave in Yunzhou just moments ago, and I should have only fainted briefly…”
A Daoist priest-like figure shook his head, yet his face showed delight: “Could it be that I have encountered divine fortune and stumbled upon an ancient paradise?”
“What is this ‘Zhu Shen Hall’ and ‘Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle’?”
Two other women stood together cautiously: “Please, good sirs, let us leave or send us back, and we will surely reward you greatly…”
“Hmph!”
At this moment, the black-clothed martial artist who had initially given the young man a terrifying sensation snorted coldly: “Nonsense! I don’t believe any of this! Excuse me!”
In a flash, he rushed toward the edge of the light circle, his speed like lightning.
“What a display of martial prowess!”
The Daoist priest’s eyes lit up: “This man’s skills are worthy of the title Master…”
But before his words could finish, everyone saw the martial artist in black dash out of the light circle, then his expression froze, and he crumpled to the ground limply!
“That’s impossible!”
The Daoist priest’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. A flash of light appeared in his hand: “Dead? What powerful technique could silently kill a martial master so effortlessly?”
“Perhaps… this is what the task description meant about the warning: one must not leave the designated area, or face annihilation?”
The scholar timidly offered.
“What? So this is what ‘not allowed to leave’ and ‘annihilation’ meant? A prison drawn on the ground?”
The Daoist priest’s eyes widened, while the others let out cries of terror.
Obviously, after the martial artist surnamed Li demonstrated the consequence, no one dared to test the limits again. Moreover, they now had a certain level of reverence for the task.
“The Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle world? Has anyone heard of this before?”
The young man in brocade clothing spoke loudly: “My name is Ji Fu. I don’t know the backgrounds of the rest of you or why you have come here. Please share your stories so we can discuss them…”
“Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle?”
One of the two women furrowed her delicate brows: “I vaguely remember hearing this name mentioned a few times… but I can’t recall exactly!”
“I know!”
At this moment, Zhu Si suddenly spoke up loudly.
“Oh?”
Everyone turned their eyes toward him. Zhu Si looked somewhat timid, his face wearing a servile smile: “My lords and ladies… I once heard about the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle near a tavern. It seems to be a story told by a storyteller?”
“A storyteller’s tale? A novel?”
They looked at each other in confusion: “So you’re saying… we are now in the world of a storyteller’s tale? That’s absurd!”
“Nonsense!”
The Daoist priest beside them, however, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes as he stroked his beard: “As the Buddhist scriptures say, a single flower contains a world, a blade of grass holds paradise. The vastness of heaven and earth is but a mustard seed! Why can’t we be inside a storyteller’s tale?”
“Now, all of this isn’t important!”
The young man in brocade quickly approached Zhu Si, his eyes shining with excitement: “How much of the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle storyteller’s tale did you hear? Hurry up and tell us everything you know!”
“Well…”
Zhu Si scratched his head, giving an embarrassed smile: “After I tell you, will the young master be willing to give me something in return?”
The young man was taken aback, then said: “Of course! As long as you tell us everything you know, this… this young master has everything to offer!”
Zhu Si was delighted: “I’m just a beggar, but I often beg outside the tavern and have heard most of the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle storyteller’s tale. The first chapter is about the Purple Dragon Pangu creating the world and the Three Gods and Five Sects establishing the world order… This tells the story of the initial creation of the Great Zhou world, where three great gods and five Daoist patriarchs directly passed down the Dao lineage, enlightening all beings, thereby creating the entire world…”
Seeing this, the other reincarnators couldn’t help but crowd around, their eyes shining with anticipation. This might be the key to future survival!
“Haha! Excellent! Very good!”
After a long while, the young man in brocade looked at Zhu Si with great satisfaction on his face: “I will take you as my personal attendant. You were a beggar in the secondary capital, right? Perfect, once we get out of here, I will surely secure a bright future for you!”
“Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!”
Zhu Si was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.
This was a decision he had carefully considered. After all, beggars were experts at reading people’s expressions. Among so many people present, none seemed as noble as this young master.
If he could sell himself to become a powerful servant in this young master’s mansion, wouldn’t the good life of feasting and luxury be within reach?
Poor Zhu Si had yet to understand the meaning of reincarnators. At this moment, his greatest wish was merely to become a lackey in a grand mansion…
…
“Sigh…”
Inside the Zhu Shen Hall, Wu Ming sighed and covered his forehead: “Man… the ancients’ ability to accept new concepts is just too weak. It’s just an infinite flow, a divine space, so why is it so difficult to understand?”
In front of him, a screen appeared, showing the scene of the martial artist surnamed Li lying dead on the ground.
“Don’t even understand the concept of annihilation? You should have read more books in your next life… Well, actually, your soul is destroyed, and you are completely wiped out…”
Wu Ming waved his hand, and two more screens appeared. Each showed ten reincarnators reacting to the quest in various ways, expressions and behaviors that made him feel like he was seeing something totally new.
“Some thought they were dreaming, some were overjoyed, and some couldn’t handle it and committed suicide… Man, what a waste of slots…”
He watched one scene after another, feeling quite speechless.
“On the other hand, this Prince of the Northern Border’s son seems to have some schemes and leadership qualities, but he’s not subtle enough… He still needs more training…”
“It seems that enlightening the masses is a long and arduous task… For the next reincarnation mission, if there are newbies, I should assign an experienced one as a guide…”
“Fortunately, this is just a virtual paradise, with minimal resource consumption. Even if all the reincarnators perish, I can just recruit a new batch…”
Wu Ming closed his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness entered the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle world: “However… seeing them like this, I still need to stay around and, if necessary, directly influence the fate of the world…”
Buzz!
In the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle world.
Wu Ming’s spiritual consciousness appeared, transforming into a young man wearing a crown of nine-colored feathers, as if the entire heaven and earth were resonating with his presence.
In this world, he was the Creator! He was the Supreme God! He was everything and anything!
With a mere thought, he instantly arrived at a fairy mountain overseas.
This fairy mountain radiated three layers of golden light, filled with ethereal energy. Outside, a hundred immortals gathered in homage; inside, jade palaces and crystal halls abounded, with golden floors and jade steps. Pearls and agates were everywhere, but they were merely the dwellings of the young Daoist apprentices.
Deep within the fairy mountain, there was a small lake, with a small island in the lake. On the island stood a Daoist temple, elegant and refined, yet carrying an air of noble antiquity. The plaque above the door read “Miao Qing Temple” in bold characters.
A mountain beyond mountains! An island within a lake! The Miao Qing Temple!
These phrases might seem ordinary on their own, but together, they represented an immensely powerful being in the Great Zhou Western Regions Chronicle world.
The Purple Dragon Pangu created the world, and the Three Gods and Five Sects established the order of the universe. Since the beginning of time, the ancient era produced eight great sages: the Three Primordial Gods and the Five Sect Founders! All the sources of magical techniques and the paths to cultivation and transcendence originated from them.
Residing within the Miao Qing Temple was the Supreme Great Daoist Lord of the Nine Heavens, the Ultimate Truth Dao Sovereign, commonly known as the Zi Luo Dao Sovereign, who was also one of these eight great sages.
Inside the quiet chamber, purple energy filled the air.
Zi Luo Dao Sovereign sat cross-legged, holding a fly whisk. His face was thin and ascetic, clad in a Daoist robe with the Eight Trigrams, and hanging from his waist was a purple-red gourd. Around it were five-colored talisman characters that shimmered with light, transforming into the wondrous scenes of falling celestial flowers and golden lotuses blooming from the earth, inspiring admiration at first sight.
But at this moment, a young man wearing a crown of nine-colored feathers instantly appeared before him: “Zi Luo Dao Sovereign, I need to borrow your form for a while!”
“You… Creation…”
Zi Luo Dao Sovereign was greatly alarmed and unleashed a mighty technique.
A terrifying spell capable of destroying heaven and earth landed on Wu Ming, yet it immediately vanished without a trace.
In the next moment, a nine-colored light flashed from Wu Ming, swallowing Zi Luo Dao Sovereign entirely. Wu Ming then transformed, instantly taking on the appearance of the Zi Luo Dao Sovereign.
“Very good… in this world, I am now the Zi Luo Dao Sovereign!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly, and the heavens and earth resonated in witness. From this moment on, he was truly and undeniably the Zi Luo Dao Sovereign!
