"Ha ha, this is good, this is good!" The Old Man laughed exaggeratedly and then looked at Ling Mo Xie, "Young man, it's you, right? The situation is urgent, come with me, come with me!"
Saying this, he grabbed Ling Mo Xie and walked away.
Ling Mo Xie was momentarily stunned. He had been a bit nervous; after all, this was the Sect Leader of the legendary Azure Cloud Valley. He didn't expect him to be no different from an ordinary Old Man!
Moreover, he was so impatient!
Zhou Xinyi saw her Master’s actions and wished she could cover her face and find a hole to hide in. Master, you are someone of status; can you be a bit more dignified? Even if it's just for show!
Ling Mo Xie was still in a daze. When he came to his senses, he realized he was no longer in the main hall. In front of him was a massive waterfall, the water flowing vigorously with a thunderous sound. The Old Man beside him, who was also the Azure Cloud Valley Master, was stroking his beard and smiling at him.
"Where is this?" Ling Mo Xie asked in confusion. The Azure Cloud Valley Master seemed to have anticipated his question and hurriedly explained before he finished speaking: "This is the place where you can fully master the legacy treasure left by the Celestial Master. As long as you pass the Trial left by the Celestial Master, you can obtain all the power he left behind. At that time, you will possess endless power and infinite life just like the Celestial Master from countless years ago."
Ling Mo Xie nodded blankly. The legacy treasure they mentioned was the Immortal Master System in his hands, but they likely did not know that this treasure existed as a System; they probably thought it was some kind of treasure from the Cultivation World. Fully mastering the System? What would that look like? Ling Mo Xie couldn't even begin to imagine.
"You must think carefully; once you gain the power of the Celestial Master, you will be the new Celestial Master. There will be no turning back, and you cannot strip away your power like the previous Celestial Master did to pass it on to others." Surprisingly, despite appearing somewhat impatient, the Azure Cloud Valley Master did not rush Ling Mo Xie but instead spoke to him earnestly.
Ling Mo Xie hesitated for no longer: "Infinite life is something many people strive for. If I’m not mistaken, even the Celestial Emperor cannot have infinite life, so what do I have to hesitate about?"
"Sigh!" Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, for some reason, the Azure Cloud Valley Master sighed and muttered softly to himself: "One day, you will understand that infinite life is not as beautiful as it seems. Otherwise, the previous Celestial Master wouldn't have stripped away his power and sought death."
"What exactly is this Trial? Let's get started!" Ling Mo Xie had already made up his mind and didn't want to delay any longer or give himself time to regret. He asked the Azure Cloud Valley Master.
Before he could wait for a response from the Azure Cloud Valley Master, a long-lost crisp voice rang in his ears: "Ding! Hidden Quest triggered: Return of the Immortal Sovereign. Historical Task cleared. During this Task period, the System will not provide any assistance."
Ling Mo Xie gasped and looked at the seemingly hesitant Azure Cloud Valley Master while checking the Task details for himself.
The Task content was simple and straightforward, but Ling Mo Xie's heart was not so certain.
Return of the Immortal Sovereign (Unique Hidden Quest): In times of great chaos, it will be the period of Return of the Immortal Sovereign. Please complete the Celestial Master Trial to return to your original position and restore peace to the world.
Task Reward: Three Realms and Six Paths, feed me with unparalleled honor.
Task Deadline: Thirty days.
Task Failure Penalty: The Three Realms will collapse, and chaos will be reshaped.
As the System Task was announced, Ling Mo Xie looked again at the waterfall before him. Behind the waterfall, a cave was faintly visible, with four purple characters above it: Celestial Master Trial.
For some reason, Ling Mo Xie felt a sense of melancholy at this moment. The safety of the world rested on his shoulders; this was not a glory but a heavy burden.
At this time, the Azure Cloud Valley Master had almost finished explaining but did not anticipate that if Ling Mo Xie failed this Trial, not only would the Immortal Realm face disaster, but all three realms would be destroyed, and heaven and earth would return to chaos.
Looking at the Azure Cloud Valley Master, who was waiting for an answer, Ling Mo Xie glanced at the four purple characters and suddenly smiled calmly, saying, “I have made my decision. I will proceed with the Trial. If I do not return in a month, you can just watch this final world!”
The Azure Cloud Valley Master was somewhat puzzled by Ling Mo Xie's words but said nothing. Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie summoned Hong Chi, Chen Yan, Big White, and Bai Yunfei.
Sensing that something was off in the atmosphere, Hong Chi was the first to speak up and asked Ling Mo Xie, “Boss, what happened? Why did you summon us all?”
The others also remained quiet, waiting for Ling Mo Xie's response.
Ling Mo Xie looked at them and said, “Something significant is about to happen in this world. I need to complete the Celestial Master's Trial. Since this Trial was left by the Celestial Master, it must be extraordinary. I won’t take you with me. There’s still a month left; you can go out and have fun. Hong Chi, you are a Fire Spirit, born from the chaos at the beginning of creation. Perhaps this calamity will not affect you.”
The two humans and two beasts fell silent for a moment. Finally, Bai Yunfei chuckled twice and said, “Boss, when did you become so melancholic? What’s going on? What Trial? Let’s go together!”
Hearing Bai Yunfei's words, Ling Mo Xie also realized—when did he become so sentimental?
He then smiled and said, "This is my Trial. You all just wait for me to come back. By then, your boss will be amazing, and you should be prepared for the realization that one person achieves success, and everyone benefits!"
"Boss, who are you calling a dog?" Bai Yunfei grinned, glaring at Ling Mo Xie.
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily, without any hesitation, and flew towards the waterfall, plunging into it and crashing into the cave.
Outside the waterfall, Bai Yunfei and Hong Chi both put away their smiles. The fact that Ling Mo Xie spoke to them like this surely meant something serious was happening.
The Azure Cloud Valley Master, being well-informed, was not too surprised to see Ling Mo Xie suddenly summon two people. Seeing that Ling Mo Xie had entered the Trial, he said to Bai Yunfei and Hong Chi, "Follow me. Just wait for him to come out; there are still many beautiful places in Azure Cloud Valley worth visiting."
"Okay!" Bai Yunfei and Hong Chi nodded, although they weren't really in the mood to appreciate any scenery.
Meanwhile, Chen Yan gazed in the direction of the waterfall and murmured, "I can sense chaotic fluctuations in the rules of heaven and earth; something significant must be happening. But how does it relate to you, an ordinary Cultivator with slightly better talent? Fortunately, my strength has mostly recovered; perhaps I can help out when the time comes."
At that moment, after entering the cave, Ling Mo Xie felt darkness envelop him and fainted. When he woke up again, he found himself in a dilapidated thatched cottage. The place was so rudimentary that it was even simpler than his own home when he first crossed over as Ling Mo Xie—there was only a bed and two stools.
He lay on the bed.
Propping himself up to get out of bed, he realized he felt empty and weak—just like when he was on Earth—completely like an ordinary person without any cultivation.
While he was lost in thought, he noticed a wooden sword beside him. He picked it up and saw a line of small text on it.
Peach Wood Sword: Attack Power 7-13; effective against ghosts and monsters.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was staring at the wooden sword in a daze, a woman dressed in old cloth entered anxiously and said to him, "Recently, strange occurrences have been happening at Wang the Blacksmith's house at the village entrance. There may be some ghostly disturbances. Although you just arrived in our village, seeing your chivalrous heart, could you please take a look?"
"Where is this place?" Ling Mo Xie immediately asked the woman upon seeing someone.
The woman, however, seemed to have not heard him. After saying her previous line, she just stared blankly at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie felt a bit annoyed and repeated his question, but the woman still acted as if she hadn’t heard him.
Feeling somewhat frustrated, Ling Mo Xie ignored the woman and stepped outside. He looked around and saw several small houses similar to his own, as well as some slightly better ones. In short, this was an utterly normal little village, with chickens, ducks, and dogs wandering about.
After taking a look around and returning, he found the woman still in her small house. Ling Mo Xie felt a bit depressed and had no choice but to say to her, “Shall we go check out that Wang the Blacksmith’s place?”
“The young hero truly has a chivalrous heart; please follow me!” The woman finally responded to Ling Mo Xie, leaving him speechless. Why had she not spoken before? Now that he mentioned going to Wang the Blacksmith's house, she called him a chivalrous hero. What was her relationship with Wang the Blacksmith?
Carrying his worn-out peach wood sword, Ling Mo Xie followed the woman toward what she referred to as Wang the Blacksmith's house, his mind racing with thoughts. Wasn’t this supposed to be the Celestial Master’s Trial? And there were only thirty days; what was going on now?
He had lost all his cultivation, the System couldn’t sense him anymore, and even his clothes had been changed. The Storage Ring that used to be on his finger was also missing. He was now truly alone.
As Ling Mo Xie pondered these matters, he followed the woman to a small courtyard. This courtyard was much better than his shabby little house; it was made of bricks and had flowers and plants growing in it. In one corner stood an iron furnace, and a burly middle-aged man was standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing the woman bring Ling Mo Xie over, the middle-aged man hurriedly approached with an anxious expression and said, “Young hero, you’ve come! Something strange just happened again. I was forging iron when suddenly the clean water beside me turned into a bucket of blood!”
“Uh, let me go take a look!” Ling Mo Xie could only pause for a moment before responding, thinking to himself, Am I some kind of Taoist priest? Did they bring me here to exorcise ghosts? What kind of Trial is this!
