Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Upon regaining consciousness, Ji Zhaoyang saw the black-robed cultivator beside him and hurriedly bowed to pay his respects, saying,

“Zhaoyang pays respects to the 3rd Imperial Uncle!”

The black-robed cultivator was none other than the Pingxi King of the current Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, a peerless individual with the cultivation of a Void Refining True Monarch. Though Ji Zhaoyang had exceptional talent, he was but a junior in front of the Pingxi King.

However, what puzzled Ji Zhaoyang was how the Pingxi King could appear in this place, given that the Ingenious Tiny World could not bear the presence of a True Monarch descending into it?

The Pingxi King looked at Ji Zhaoyang with displeasure and said in a cold voice,

“At the peak of Spirit Refining yet with a shaky foundation, with an unpredictable lifespan, you must have visited some small world with incomplete rules.

Such a world, not yet merged with the Primal Chaos Realm, has a different flow of time and its rules of heaven and earth are still in their infancy. It should have been a great opportunity to perceive the rules of heaven and earth.

But you, fool, chose to make a breakthrough in your cultivation within the small world. After returning, you will have to spend a considerable amount of time remedying your foundation. Truly a wasted opportunity!”

Ji Zhaoyang’s expression became one of astonishment as he realized he had actually reached the stage of Spirit Refining Peak.

Before he could speak, an old cultivator beside him burst into hearty laughter and said,

“Why must the Pingxi King be so enraged? The fact that the 3rd Prince was able to trigger an anomaly in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda marks him as exceptional among all past trialists.

Besides, I see that the humanity fate converges upon the prince himself, surely indicating that he must have gained even more from the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda trials.”

“Exactly, exactly! If the 3rd Prince can take this opportunity to consolidate his gains and seize control of the humanity fate, he will surely be able to advance further.”

Only then did Ji Zhaoyang notice that he was currently in a lavishly decorated tower.

Apart from him and the Pingxi King, there were three cultivators with auras as vast as the Abyssal Sea, all dominating figures in the Cultivation World and Void Refining True Monarchs.

Among them were Dong Youzi, the Lord of Punishment Hall from the Left Deity Dark Void Heavens, Mo Zhenhai, the Law Enforcement Elder from the Purple Jade Clear Serenity Heavens, and Yu Changming, the Impartation Great Elder from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens.

In the absence of the Taoist sect masters and Supreme Elders of major sects, these individuals represented the will of the higher echelons of the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land and were some of the most prominent figures of the time.

The convergence of so many top-notch powerful experts in this humble tower caused even Ji Zhaoyang, the Great Yin 3rd Prince, to feel a chill in his heart.

Hearing the consolation from Yu Changming and Mo Zhenhai, the Pingxi King’s eyes narrowed as he burst out swearing,

“You two old fools, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.

You think that just because the young ones from your sect have yet to come out, and my nephew has already withdrawn from the competition, you can pretend to console with the guise of a victor, huh?”

“Even though my nephew lost, it doesn’t mean your juniors will necessarily win!”

Yu Changming, clothed in the Vestment robe of breeze and clouds, gently stroked his beard with a serene expression, saying,

“Pingxi King, your words are unfair. The Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda seizes the fortunes of heaven and earth, and should a junior manage to control it by luck, it is his good fortune. However, should he fail, I shall have no particular opinion.”

Mo Zhenhai nodded and added, “To gain it would be my good fortune; to lose it would be my fate.”

No sooner had these words fallen than, in the direction of the Listening to the Tide Market, two streaks of golden light landed before the gate.

These two individuals turned out to be Hea Zhen, the current sacred sage from the Purple Jade Clear Serenity Heavens, and Yu Ke, the reserve Sacred Sage from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens.

Yu Changming, who had been cool and composed, suddenly widened his eyes in shock, pulling out a beard hair without even realizing it, while Mo Zhenhai from the Purple Jade Clear Serenity Heavens Law Enforcement Elder also stiffened his expression.

Seeing this, the Pingxi King burst into unruly laughter.

“Your juniors have come out, aren’t you going to welcome them?”

Yu Changming and Mo Zhenhai’s expressions turned sour. Among all present. Only Shentu Ming, who had remained silent, showed a trace of pleasure on his face.

But after just a few breaths, another streak of golden light landed at the gate of Zhongyang Market, and Dong Youzi, the current sacred sage from the Left Deity Dark Void Heavens, had also returned.

At that moment, even the normally schadenfreude-indulging Pingxi King could not muster a laugh.

All brows were furrowed tightly as they turned their gaze to the treasure pagoda light that remained on the thirteenth layer.

The three Void Refining True Monarchs disappeared one after another, and shortly after, all three sacred sages were brought into the tower.

Before the three had a chance to recover from their own changes, Yu Changming asked urgently,

“What exactly happened to you all? Why have all of your trials failed?”

As this question was raised, Ji Zhaoyang and the others exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing the same confusion echoed in the others’ eyes.

After a long pause, it was Ji Zhaoyang who bowed and with a wry smile said,

“I must inform the elders, I truly do not know what transpired in the trial.”

Hea Zhen followed suit and spoke up,

“My memory only goes up to the point before entering the trial. As for what exactly happened during the trial, there is no recollection of it in my mind.”

Yu Ke nodded and said, “It is the same for me.”

Only Dong Youzi furrowed his brows slightly as if trying to recall something, then spoke in a detached voice,

“It seems I left information on the trial on the Spiritual Platform, but it has been thoroughly erased from the connected memory, and I cannot determine what happened during the trial.”

Upon hearing this, all four Void Refining True Monarchs present were taken aback, and Shentu Ming, seeming to remember something, was especially startled and demanded,
