Song Shuhang took Island Master Tian Tiankong’s remnant soul to a stretch of pasture in the Inner World. This was the place that the Inner World was first wholly composed of, and it was also the place where the world of the black lotus first connected to the Inner World.

Every once in a while, the world of the black lotus and Inner World would randomly create a passage between one another. At the very beginning, Lady Onion had run along this passage to Senior White Two’s place.

But at this moment, the passage to the world of the black lotus wasn’t open.

He was left with no other choice… he could only manually call out.

Song Shuhang shouted, “Senior White, Senior White!”

Senior White Two did not respond to his call.

Song Shuhang continued to try reaching him for some time.

It was as if Senior White Two could not hear him at all.

Song Shuhang thought to himself, Could it be that when I am in this state, even Senior White Two cannot sense me?

This strange dimensional state is too OP if it can even block the ruler of the Netherworld…

If that’s the case, I’m afraid that this sealed space is related to some Wielder of the Will. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Senior White Two to also be affected by it!

Song Shuhang pinched his chin. “This isn’t good. If I can’t contact Senior White Two, does that mean that I have to stay in this state forever? If so, I’d only be able to communicate with Island Master Tian Tiankong’s remnant soul… I’m going to end up going crazy at this

pace.”

However…

If Senior White Two really couldn’t sense him right now, then should he wait days for the passage between the world of the black lotus and the Inner World to open so that he could go through the passage, find Senior White Two, and see what he was doing?

Senior White Two couldn’t sense him right now. At that time, perhaps he could stumble upon some of Senior White Two’s little secrets…

Thinking about it further-if Senior White Two could not see him, that meant the fat ball couldn’t, either!

With that being the case, he could casually go to the fat ball’s lair and see what plot it was cooking up recently. It made him excited just thinking about it.

If he wanted to look, he simply needed to go and do so. The secrets of a ruler of the Netherworld were right there for him to see. Wasn’t that quite amazing?

Moreover, these were the secrets of two rulers of the Netherworld.

If he were to get a hold of them, they would belong to SSS-level intelligence, which would be priceless.

If he could meet up with the Almighty Merchant, perhaps he could even sell the information.

(Hahahaha, when you get killed by that fat ball, don’t blame me for not saying anything. That fat ball has been wanting to get you, so if you were to deliver yourself to its doorstep, it would definitely be overjoyed.] Senior White Two’s voice directly sounded in Song Shuhang’s mind.

“…” Song Shuhang.

This is rather embarrassing.

He rubbed his face. “Senior White, you’re here! By the way, when did you get here?”

Senior White Two calmly said, [Ever since you thought of going to the world of the black lotus to peek at what I was doing.]

“…” Song Shuhang. Things like mind-reading techniques really did take away all of a person’s privacy.

If I become the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will in the future, I will definitely make mind-reading techniques disappear from the universe.

There is no need for something like mind-reading to exist in the world.

Senior White Two laughed. [Hahahaha.]

Song Shuhang said, “Senior White, stop reading my mind. We won’t be able to have a good conversation if you keep on doing that.” Senior White Two said, “I’m not using any mind-reading techniques. I only need to take a look at your expression to know what you’re thinking.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

In addition to being frank, did he also have a really-easy-to-read face?

While they were talking, the passage between the Inner World and the world of the black lotus opened. A projection of Senior White Two drilled out of the world of the black lotus.

Song Shuhang saw Senior White Two’s projected body draped with a sheet that gave him a familiar feeling.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Wait, this sheet… Is it that one?

The Almighty Merchant’s sheet!

Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Senior White, did the Almighty Merchant lose the game of hide-and-seek?”

Calculating the time, the game between the Almighty Merchant and Senior White Two should be already over, right?

Senior White Two replied, “Speaking of him… that guy was really able to hide well. In the end, he managed to hide until the end of the game. I wasn’t able to catch him. The sheet on his body was indeed extraordinary.”

“Then, what’s with this sheet on your body?” Song Shuhang asked, pointing to the sheet on Senior White Two’s body.

Senior White Two said, “Hmm? It’s the one that’s usually on his body.”

“???” Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.

Didn’t Senior White Two say that if the Almighty Merchant won the hide-and-seek game, he would give up on capturing him?

Senior White Two laughed, and said, “Hahaha, did you really believe what I said? I am the ruler of the Netherworld, yet you actually believed my words? Did you really think that I would give up? The Almighty Merchant came out soon after the game ended to trade with someone, and I captured him right at that instant.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Heavens, what can I even say?

However, what Senior White Two said was reasonable-should you really believe the words of the ruler of the Netherworld? Since he had believed it, he could only blame himself for having been cheated.

Song Shuhang looked at the sheet with some pity and guilt-because this sheet was probably the main body of the Almighty Merchant.

“This sheet is truly interesting. It took several days of research before I could discover the principles behind it. I’m now making some imitations. After the imitations are made, I can return this sheet to the Almighty Merchant,” Senior White Two said while waving the sheet around. Song Shuhang said, “Eh? This is not the main body of the Almighty Merchant? I thought he was a sheet of cloth.”

Senior White Two responded, “A sheet? Tsk, tsk, your way of thinking is very interesting.”

It turned out that the Almighty Merchant was actually not a sheet!

Senior White Two asked, “Alright, I don’t have time to waste on you. I’m quite busy lately, so hurry up and tell me what you’re looking for me for.”

Song Shuhang quickly pointed at himself, and said, “Senior White, look at me, am I different now?”

Senior White Two replied, “Fifth Stage Realm, four golden cores.”

Song Shuhang said, “No, no, I’m not talking about my realm. I’m referring to my state. I should be in a ‘sealed space state’ right now. Currently, I can’t touch anything in the main world. Even when it comes to other people in the Inner World, I can’t touch them. Besides, others can’t see me. Just now, even Pavilion Master Chu couldn’t see me, and she’s at the Immortal Realm!”

Senior White Two said, “Seriously speaking, she’s currently only half into the Immortal Realm. Her ascension was interrupted in the middle.”

Song Shuhang said, “That’s besides the point. The main point is my state. Do you know of this special state, Senior White?”

Senior White Two said, “I haven’t seen it before. This state is indeed quite special, and this is the first time I’m seeing it.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Is there a way to deal with it?”

Senior White Two said, “The one who tied the bell should be able to untie it. Whatever caused you to become like this, do it again to reverse it.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, you can’t fix my state?”

“It might be possible by reversing the time on your body, but for properly doing so, I would need some time for research,” Senior White Two said. “However, there are already a lot of things that I’m studying right now… I’m too busy. Moreover, the fat ball has found my old lair, so I’ll seize the opportunity to give it a lesson.”

For Senior White Two, giving a lesson to the fat ball was more important than fixing the problem with Song Shuhang’s body.

“…” Song Shuhang.

“Mm-hm, if you want to reverse your state, I could lend this to you.” Senior White Two stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air. A black sheet was pulled out, which he threw to Song Shuhang. “This is a failed copy. Although it is a failed product, its effects should still be good enough for you.”

Song Shuhang stretched out his hand to pick up the black sheet.

But when his hand touched the sheet, that ‘invisible barrier’ resurfaced again, and he was unable to take the sheet that Senior White Two lent him.

“…” Song Shuhang.

“Your state is really troublesome.” Senior White Two took back the failed imitation. “Forget it, let’s go.”

“?” Song Shuhang.

“I will accompany you to take a look at the main world. I can run some experiments with the sheet at the same time.” Senior White Two wrapped the sheet around him tightly.

The original sheet was very special.

When the Almighty Merchant wore it, even Senior White Two couldn’t lock onto his position. He could test it out now and see how much of an effect it would have in the main world by wrapping it on himself.

“Senior White, are you going to accompany me out?” Song Shuhang asked in surprise. Originally, he just wanted to find Senior White Two to see if he could get any clues regarding the sealed space, and find out if there was a way to deal with the strange state he was in.

Unexpectedly, Senior White Two was willing to accompany him out to deal with what the sealed space had done to him.

This was simply going out to buy a sesame seed but getting a big watermelon! Not giving Senior White Two the time to go back on his word, Song Shuhang’s will moved.

The Inner World opened, and Song Shuhang and Senior White Two appeared in Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room.

Nothing had changed in Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room.

On the computer, the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were still chatting

After Senior White Two came out, he immediately saw the sealed space spatial gate. The door bore the same aura and state as Song Shuhang’s body.

“Oh? This space seems similar to the shadow world? No, it seems to be of an even more advanced level. It’s quite interesting,” Senior White Two said. “Come on, let’s go in.”

“Is it okay to directly go in?” Song Shuhang said. “When my clone was drawn in, it was quickly crushed to pieces.”

“Stop wasting my time, I’m in a hurry.” Senior White Two stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and a strange ripple appeared beside Song Shuhang… but this ripple couldn’t stop Senior White Two at all.

A force acted on Song Shuhang, sending him towards the sealed space door.

Immediately afterward, Senior White Two similarly stepped into the sealed space door.

The two disappeared.

Then, the door to the sealed space closed, disappearing as well.

After a while, in the corner of the Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room, Ye Si’s figure appeared.

However, this wasn’t her real body, but rather a mere projection. “Shuhang disappeared… and there’s another aura that went with him, that of the terrifying Senior White Two.” Ye Si sniffed around gently. After reaching this conclusion, she felt relieved.

If Song Shuhang was with Senior White Two, then she didn’t need to worry about anything.

Her projection dissipated.

Ye Si’s real body was in a golden desert.

In this desert, there were gold statues erected around the place.

Ye Si stepped on air, and leaped up a few times before descending and landing on the hand of a huge statue.

This statue was the statue of a fairy wearing a phoenix crown—this was the statue of the Jade Lake Empress, Cheng Lin.

Beside her statue was the statue of a daoist with great bearing.

There was a daoist priest in red robes sitting on the palms of this statue with his eyes closed and meditating Above this daoist’s head, there was a disc of light that was like a bright moon, exuding the brilliance of a ‘path’.

As long as a practitioner saw this light disc, all kinds of emotions would flow into their heart. The light disc was like a mirror. A practitioner of any level would see their reflection after looking at this light, and gain different realizations with it.

This was something that belonged solely to Immortals.

If Song Shuhang was here, he could easily recognize this daoist.

He was the owner of Scarlet Heaven Sword and the creator of the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique-Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven. Even among Immortals, he was one of the strongest.

Opposite Ye Si, there was the statue of a scholarly cultivator. On the palm of this statue was a seemingly crazed scholar. His clothes were in a mess, and he only had one shoe on.

At this moment, he was holding a volume of the (Scriptures of the Sage), reading it silently.

He was the head of the 13 Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction-Daozi.

Before the ancient era, he already had a cultivation base at the Tribulation Transcender, and he then became the head of the 13 Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction. After the great tribulation the scholarly faction faced, he fell into a state of madness, running wildly around the sea.

But now, there was a moon-like light disc above his head. Daozi was now also at the Immortal Realm.

However, nobody knew when Daozi entered this realm.

as a

Beside the statue of Daozi, there was a muscular statue of a buddhist warrior. As Ye Si looked at this statue, she got a certain feeling in her heart—it was as if the muscles of the whole world were concentrated on this statue.

The statue had one palm upright and another lying flat.

Sitting on his flat palm was an equally dazzling monk.

The appearance of this monk was slightly similar to Slow-Witted Song’s when he went to rescue Pavilion Master Chu.

However, this monk was not Slow-Witted Song. The monk had his palms clasped together and recited scriptures silently. Above his head, there was also a light disc floating

At this moment, Scarlet Heaven raised his head, looked at Ye Si, and smiled. “Will Fellow Daoist Northern Emperor be coming?” Ye Si replied, “Senior Northern Emperor isn’t willing to meet with me.”

Everyone here was an Immortal, while she was a cute little Sixth Stage Realm practitioner. This caused her to feel great pressure.

She had to appear here because she represented ‘Cheng Lin’.

Anyway, this was the first time that all these Immortals had gathered together.

At this time, Daozi put down the scriptures in his hand, and said, “I’ll speak first. I agree to join this (The Wielder of the Will Must Step Down Alliance), but my goal is to become the Wielder of the Will.”

Scarlet Heaven said, “The goal of this humble daoist… is to merely teach and raise a Wielder of the Will. If Fellow Daoist Daozi gets the chance and has the ability to do so, this humble daoist will definitely lend you his assistance.” In the past… On a sudden whim, he had felt that the green onion he was holding could become the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will.

Thinking about it now, he felt that he must have been crazy back then.
