My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

Xu Fan looked at the burly man, thinking that this was the chance for a fierce fight.

Such a perfect target, it would be a waste not to fight for three days and nights continuously, given his martial artist identity.

Just as Xu Fan was planning how to fight the burly man...

A giant hand protruded from the sky, grabbed the burly man like a small chicken, and abruptly took him out of the Ruins World.

"Apologies, young friend. Our sect’s checks turned out to be insufficient. Please forgive us~"

Following the voice that resonated like the Sound of the Great Dao, tranquility was restored across heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xu Fan was somewhat bewildered. He knew that a Daluo Saint was observing the Ruins World, but he hadn’t expected this burly man’s secret to be discovered so quickly.

A feather fan appeared in Xu Fan’s hand. He gave it a flick, which helped calm the combative spirit that had just emerged.

"Ah, I can only wonder how that poor burly man was dealt with in the end. His aura barely unfolded before a Daluo Saint discovered him. Truly pitiful."

The True Immortal Hei Pao arrived from a distance and stood behind Xu Fan.

"Let’s go, onto the next location."

Within the Ruins World, Xu Yuexian was carefully proceeding through a world that felt as chaotic and disordered as the primal chaos.

"That strange gate took me to such a weird place. I wonder if I can even get out." Xu Yuexian cautiously explored her surroundings.

These years, she’d developed quite the experience in dealing with such unusual places.

She knew that the strange gate allowed her to enter because it was looking for something or wanted help with escaping somewhere.

"Hee hee~"

A sudden giggling sound like that of a child echoed, and then disappeared.

"Is anyone there?"

"Or to say, is there a child?" Xu Yuexian softly said.

"No one! No child!"

The child’s voice reappeared as if playing a game with Xu Yuexian.

"Can you come out and let me see you? Big sister is very good at telling stories to kids." Xu Yuexian gently said.

The child didn’t respond. Xu Yuexian looked at the chaotic world, pulled out a lounge chair, sat on it, and began to tell a fairy tale story that her master told her when she was young.

As Xu Yuexian began to narrate the fairy tale, she noticed the entire world seemed to concentrate and listen to her story.

This way, the fairy tale continued for three days and nights, but the child still hadn’t responded.

Xu Yuexian smiled faintly, and at the key point in the fairy tale, she suddenly stopped speaking.

Past some time, she felt the entire chaotic world began to become restless.

"Quickly tell, what happened to Little Red Riding Hood after she got the immortal tool? Did she manage to slay the Wolf Demon? Is her grandmother really a Great Power in disguise, all this just to test Little Red Riding Hood?"

The child’s tone was desperate.

Hooked, Xu Yuexian thought.

"The rest of the story? Little Red Riding Hood got the Immortal Tool, but it was still snatched away by the cunning old Wolf Demon."

"The Wolf Demon reverted to his original form, stepping directly onto Little Red Riding Hood’s chest, cruelly severing her four limbs."

"Then, it viciously looked at Little Red Riding Hood and said: Little Red Riding Hood, your grandma met the same fate too~"

Xu Yuexian paused here.

"Then what? Then how did Little Red Riding Hood defeat the Wolf Demon!"

"And then Little Red Riding Hood was eaten up, and the story ended," Xu Yuexian said, laughing and clapping her hands.

She remembered being heartbroken for several days by this story when her master first told it to her. She only regained her laughter when he finally altered the ending.

"No way, Little Red Riding Hood can’t just die like that!"

A little black kid, so dark that only his white teeth and big, watery eyes stood out, appeared.

The little black kid ran to Xu Yuexian and glared at her angrily.

"Kid, lighten up your appearance a little next time, otherwise all I can see are your big, white teeth."

Looking at the pitch-black little black kid, Xu Yuexian felt an inexplicable sense of cuteness.

"You bad person, the story’s not like that! Change it back!" The little black kid eyed Xu Yuexian angrily.

"Then stay with me and lighten up this place a bit. I’ll continue telling you the story, okay?" Xu Yuexian asked with a laugh.

The little black kid paused for a while before clapping his hands.

The world, which seemed chaotic and disordered, became bright as day in an instant, and the little black kid appeared to be even darker.

Xu Yuexian brought out another lounge chair and motioned for the little black kid to lie down on it.

"The story goes on to say: the soul of Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma appeared and chased away the Wolf Demon. She then gave Little Red Riding Hood an elixir."

"After swallowing the elixir, Little Red Riding Hood directly crossed the tribulation and became a True Immortal. Eventually, she found the Big Bad Wolf and took revenge. After going through hardships, she managed to resurrect her grandma. From then on, Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma lived happily ever after."

This absurd ending was enough to make the little black kid happy.

"Since you’ve appeared, I’ll show you something even more interesting." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a wave of her hand, Xu Yuexian created a light curtain. On it, a child-friendly animation began to play.

Inside the Ancient Spirit Gathering Array, a group of True Immortals, turned into mortals, were playing games with the Artifact Spirit at the core of the array.

In this game where hundreds of thousands of True Immortals had been turned into mortals, Wang Xiangchi’s master-disciple trio and Li Xingci wreaked absolute havoc.

This childish game couldn’t possibly compare to the high-risk games played back at the sect. It was like a supremacist’s attack.

After transforming into mortals, they started playing games like stone skipping and hide-and-seek. These games were too simple, it was crazily easy.

Within a desolate ancient town, over a hundred thousand True Immortals-turned-mortals were hiding.

Those found by the core Artifact Spirit would be removed from the game.

While other True Immortals hid within rooms, Wang Xiangchi’s master-disciple trio and Li Xingci hid on the town’s city wall.

Within a short span of time, they had managed to make clothes of the same color and pattern as the city wall, and silently lay on the nearly vertical city wall.

Eyelid movements were used to communicate mutually.

"As expected of my Junior Fellow, your method of concealment is the same as mine," Wang Xiangchi used his eyes to send a message to in Li Xingci’s direction.

"I learned this from Second Senior Sister. I haven’t mastered it yet, but it should be enough for a game of hide-and-seek," Li Xingci blinked back in a reply message.

"It has to be said, our Master was truly insightful. He once told us that there will always be situations under special circumstances that turn us into mortals. Because of his insistence, we learnt many divine abilities that don’t need spiritual power," Wang Xiangchi messaged by blinking.

"I was once stuck in a secret realm as a mortal. Utilizing the mortal stage tribulation crossing package Master gave me, I was able to use my Puppet to slay a Nascent Soul while possessing a mortal body. Upon reflection, the master’s foresight is incomprehensible and beyond verbal expression," Li Xingci replied with a high frequency of blinking to send a message.

"Senior brother, could you ask Master to change positions? He’s blocking us, so we can’t see what you guys are chatting about using eye movements," Han Feiyu blinkied unskilfully.

Upon receiving Han Feiyu’s message, Li Xingci signaled Wang Xiangchi to switch places with his eyes, so that all four of them could see each other.

"Let’s leave it at that, I won’t chat anymore. My eyes are getting sore, I’ll rest for a bit." After sending the message, Wang Xiangchi closed his eyes.

"My eyes are getting a bit sore too~"
