Ji Xuan moved only slightly.

    Very quickly, he regained full control of his body.

    And along with it, his memories surged back like a tide.

    "My actions back then were indeed correct."

    "Though the Undying Demon Emperor died, his body was still brimming with boundless vitality."

    "As long as the method is proper, it’s entirely possible to use his body to restore my foundation, break through to a higher realm, and shatter the void to reach the Greater World."

    A smile appeared on Ji Xuan’s face.

    It was a smile full of age and ancient wisdom.

    He slowly raised his hand.

    In his flawless jade-like palm, he tightly gripped a token.

    The surface of the token was covered in cracks.

    When Ji Xuan had accidentally found it within a spatial vortex long ago, it had merely been a collection of fragments.

    Only after years of searching and piecing them together did it finally become whole.

    "The Personal Disciple Token of the Creation Heaven Sect..."

    "I truly hope I can soon recover to the Nirvana Realm and head for the Greater World."

    Ji Xuan’s eyes were full of anticipation.

    Thousands of years ago, he was the Human Emperor of Jing Nation, and his strength had reached the Nirvana Realm.

    In that battle, he personally killed the Undying Demon Emperor.

    But he was also seriously injured, his foundation severely damaged.

    He would never forget the words the Undying Demon Emperor had said to him:

    "Do you think that by killing me, the demon race will disappear completely?"

    "Wrong, utterly wrong."

    "This place was once called the Ancient Province. But due to the war between gods and demons, the Ancient Province was shattered and fell into the void, drifting outside the Greater World and becoming its own minor realm."

    "I was merely a Great Demon Emperor who accidentally fell into this minor realm during that divine war."

    "Beyond the void lies the Greater World."

    "There are many realms like this one, and in all those realms, the demon race has a presence."

    "Ji Xuan, your foundation has already been destroyed by me. You will never again comprehend the power of the void, nor will you ever cross it to reach the Greater World."

    "Countless years from now, my descendants will aid in my resurrection."

    "By then, you’ll be nothing more than bones rotting in a tomb!"

    Before Ji Xuan’s eyes, the arrogant smile of the Undying Demon Emperor seemed to appear once more.

    He gave a faint smile. "Undying Demon Emperor, thank you for your gift."

    "After your death, I used the Great Demon Emperor’s blood within you to reconstruct my body. My foundation is now flawless." Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "And I also thank you for telling me so much."

    "Otherwise, I never would have imagined that this world—boundless Eight Desolates and vast Four Seas—was actually just a minor realm."

    "For hundreds of years, I conquered all directions, yet I was merely a frog at the bottom of a well."

    Ji Xuan let out several long breaths, gradually calming his emotions.

    He closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings.

    "Wait... where are the two spiritual artifacts I prepared before I went into slumber?"

    "The Taiyi Armor is very far from me. The Demon-Hunting Spear is closer, but also not at hand."

    "My own cultivation realm... something''s off too. I’ve barely reached the Nirvana Realm?"

    Ji Xuan was somewhat stunned.

    This plan had been formulated by him and executed by the Will of Heaven itself!

    How could anything have gone wrong?

    Back then, his fortune was immensely strong.

    After slaying the Undying Demon Emperor, he was even favored by the Will of Heaven and became the Heaven’s Chosen of this realm.

    He then used the Will of Heaven’s power to set up ten Demon Suppression Fortresses across the Demon Suppression Sea, sealing the demon race within.

    This was to ensure that during his slumber, the demon race would not rise too quickly and lead to the premature resurrection of the Undying Demon Emperor.

    He also used this to bind the human race, the monster race, and the flood dragon race into endless warfare.

    This limited the number of peak experts in all three races.

    In this way, during his slumber, no other Nirvana Realm cultivator would emerge.

    And yet, now… an unexpected anomaly had occurred.
