Surely, Little Sword Field!

If Lin Xuan were here, he would be so shocked that he might bite his own tongue off.

Little Sword Field actually mixed with true immortals. And judging by his position, he was right in the middle of them. The other true immortals, regardless of their gender or age, and no matter how high or low their status, surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon. This would be familiar to anyone.

The Primordial Ancestor!

Only the Primordial Ancestor could enjoy such honors among true immortals. But Little Sword Field was clearly a cultivator from the lower realms who had ascended. How was this possible?

Too many questions swirled, but unfortunately, none of the powerful outsiders present recognized Little Sword Field. Everyone's faces showed signs of vigilance.

But what did it matter? The dark true spirits and stone monsters paid no heed to these concerns, continuing their relentless attacks. The great cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds groaned inwardly, sensing an ominous future.

Perhaps coming here was a mistake.

However, there were no regrets in the cultivation world.

Now that things had come to this, they could only swallow the bitter fruit regardless of how many dangers lay ahead.

Little Sword Field's face was full of derision: "These are the top cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds. They're just a bunch of fools. How do you think they can ascend to immortality? A toad won't eat swan meat, and today I'll send all of you to hell."

"Go, convey my edict. Extract their souls and spirits without mercy."

"Yes, Primordial Ancestor!"

All the true immortals bowed in reverence, let alone the young attendants and servants whose expressions were extremely respectful.

Then they all emitted a green glow and flew forward.

Midway through their flight, they each summoned treasures—primordial divine artifacts and strange treasures of the immortal realm. The powerful outsiders turned pale at this sight, but an even more grim scene unfolded.

These dark true spirits or stone monsters did not attack the true immortals; instead, all their powers and secret techniques were directed towards them.

Impossible, could these dark true spirits be cultivated by the immortals?

This answer was hard to believe, but pursuing it now would be like seeking fish on a tree. The pressing matter at hand was resolving this crisis.

After all, over a hundred people had already entered that gate. While those left behind were still powerful from the Three Thousand Worlds, they paled in comparison to the hundred who had gone inside. Now facing such a situation, it was difficult to make progress or retreat without being overwhelmed.

"Ahh!"

Cries of pain filled their ears almost every moment as many powerful outsiders fell. Originally, they were the top cultivators of their realm, but now they were as fragile as ants.

Though true immortals weren't as terrifying as imagined, they couldn't match these opponents!

Moreover, there were those dark true spirits and stone monsters that could be endlessly resurrected.

Unable to fight back, many powerful individuals no longer dared to hope for the Nine Heavens' Soil. After all, although ascending was a great temptation, preserving their lives was more important.

Priorities mattered. They wanted to break free, but found it futile.

The true immortals were ruthless and had no intention of leaving any survivors.

The harder they tried to escape, the faster they might fall.

Little Sword Field did not intervene; instead, he observed with cold eyes. Several top true immortals surrounded him.

Though his expression was indifferent, Little Sword Field's eyes flickered with an unusual light...

For him, this experience was too bizarre.

Half a day ago, when Little Sword Field picked up Lin Xuan’s discarded Jade Eye Scroll, it contained a treasure map that precisely marked the location of Nine Heavens' Soil.

This had been Lin Xuan’s strategy to divert blame. But Little Sword Field wasn’t easily fooled; he quickly saw through the ruse.

He decided to play along regardless.

Whether someone was trying to test the waters or not, he could take advantage of this opportunity.

So, Little Sword Field moved steadily towards the location indicated by the Jade Eye Scroll.

At first, everything went smoothly. However, just as they approached the Illusory Sea Desert, an unexpected guest intercepted him.

It was a handsome young man with features identical to Tian Xiang's. But upon closer inspection, he wasn’t human; it was a mechanical puppet.

Yet how lifelike!

But it couldn't fool Little Sword Field.

A hint of vigilance appeared on his face.

As soon as this figure appeared, Little Sword Field felt an unsettling sensation in his heart... not exactly a bad feeling, but something peculiar.

Though the puppet seemed full of spirit, Little Sword Field didn’t rush to act. Instead, he took a defensive stance: "Who are you? What brings you here?"

"I?" The puppet spoke, and its words were shocking: "I am you, and you are me. Why do you think I'm here?"

"What did you say?"

Little Sword Field's expression darkened.

"Have you not felt confused? It seems we truly have a connection. Fine, let me explain clearly."

The puppet beamed: "I or you, the supreme being of the Immortal Realm, Primordial Ancestor Tian Xiang."

"What? Supreme Being of the Immortal Realm, Primordial Ancestor?"

"Yes." The puppet revealed nothing, as lying to himself would seem strange. He explained the situation clearly, much like what Lin Xuan had learned from Rain Orchid Fairy and the Nine Heavens' Goddess.

Since it was his own actions, he didn’t try to deceive himself but directly recounted his plot, how he manipulated and deceived Fei Hua, and how he betrayed him in the end.

"Should you now understand? When Fei Hua fell, a fragment of his spirit remained. As they say, releasing a tiger back into the wild will bring endless troubles."

"Of course, whether or not he can be reborn is uncertain, but I cannot ignore the potential danger. Therefore, I used secret techniques to send a fragment of my soul with him when he was reincarnated..."

"So you mean that I am your fragment of soul?" Little Sword Field’s face showed derision: "But you're just a puppet; how can you be the supreme being of the Immortal Realm or an invincible Primordial Ancestor? Are you calling me stupid?"

"I don't need to deceive you." The puppet sighed. Tian Xiang was indeed a despicable person, but he still treated himself with patience.

"Of course, I'm not our true form; just a fragment of my consciousness containing memories."
