Chapter 1333: Refining the World

The gaze of the royal ancestor was filled with coldness, and strands of murderous intent flowed in his pupils, his voice full of indignation.

The Great Victory Dynasty and the Eight Great Clans are now irreconcilable, the reason why they haven’t torn each other apart is that neither side has absolute suppressive power.

Zhang Chen ignored the angry expression of the Great Victory Dynasty’s ancestor. After stepping out of the pathway, his expression returned to calm: “Now that I have taken away the greatest creation of the Academy, the only thing of value left is the mysterious items locked in various rooms. If these mysterious items were also stolen, the entire Academy would become an empty shell, which would be a major blow to the forces of the Great Victory royal family.”

However, this was not the right time for Zhang Chen to act. After all, the eyes of the ancestors and Mr. Da from the royal family of Great Victory were concentrated here. Even though he had the Invisibility Technique, he didn’t feel it was safe.

“Perhaps I can break the Sixth Heaven where that zombie resides, causing it to descend upon the capital of the Great Victory Dynasty. Then I can use the royal family’s power to exhaust the zombie’s strength. At that time, I will seize the opportunity to infiltrate the Academy and steal all the mysteries within, thus taking away eighty percent of the mystical creation. The royal family will lose at least forty percent of their foundation! Perhaps then the royal family will be more docile, giving me more time to deal with the calamity. However, what’s most important for me now is refining the small world.” After leaving the Academy, Zhang Chen returned to the Zhang Family, where everything was well-organized under Zhong Xiang’s management.

“You’re back? Why are you back so early?” Zhong Xiang was cultivating in the room and couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw Zhang Chen return, her face showing bewilderment, as she expected Zhang Chen wouldn’t have the opportunity to return for at least half a year.

“Something unexpected happened! The new world was lost!” Zhang Chen said to Zhong Xiang.

Zhong Xiang was taken aback: “What do you mean the new world was lost?”

Zhang Chen explained how he repaired the pathway to the new world and then the opposing forces together caused the anchor of the new world to disappear, which left Zhong Xiang stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief: “With the new world lost, the Great Victory Dynasty’s royal family is likely in trouble. Previously, in order to collect various heavenly and earthly treasures, the royal family borrowed countless treasures from various dukes with promises of entry into the new world. But now that the new world is lost, how will the Great Victory Dynasty repay its debts?”

It must be known that for the repair of the new world, the Great Victory Dynasty gathered heavenly and earthly treasures on a massive scale. If they all need to be repaid, it would be enough to empty the royal family.

“Isn’t the dynasty in a fix a good thing? At least it buys us time.” Zhang Chen told Zhong Xiang: “I need to go into seclusion to cultivate, protect me, and make sure no one disturbs me. This seclusion is crucial, as it concerns the future calamity; you must guard me well.”

Hearing this, Zhong Xiang nodded solemnly: “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone disturb your seclusion.”

Zhang Chen didn’t get intimate with Zhong Xiang, instead directly choosing a chamber to begin seclusion and refine the Eighteenth Heaven.

In the Zhang Family’s chamber

Zhang Chen extended his hand, and a chicken egg-sized elixir pill, surrounded by the color of chaos, appeared in his hand.

The Eighteenth Heaven was originally a complete small world. After the Queen Mother of the West acted, she directly refined the small world, turning it back to its original form.

Through the egg, Zhang Chen looked at everything within the Eighteenth Heaven. There were green mountains and clear waters, various Reishi Immortal Grass blooming, with celestial cranes and ancient beasts flying, making it look like the Immortal Realm.

“Although there is infinite creation within, I need to reopen the heavens and the earth. After all, the Thirty-Three Heavens have been arranged by countless old figures, afraid this Eighteenth Heaven also has their secret arrangements. Even if there are no secret arrangements by old figures, it still doesn’t feel safe. This world will be my stronghold in the future, and I cannot allow any accidents. Reformatting this world is the best choice for me.” Zhang Chen caressed the small world in his hand, and in the next moment, Golden Scissors flew out, transforming into black and white light, evolving into Yin Yang Qi, piercing the world’s barrier and entering the small world, wishing to transform all things in the small world back to chaos, refining everything completely.

The extraordinary spirits within the small world seemed to sense the unfavorable situation, roaring and charging toward the Yin Yang Qi evolved from the Golden Scissors, wanting to scatter and suppress it.

Even though Zhang Chen wielded the power of the Golden Scissors, refining a world was extremely difficult. Luckily, Zhang Chen not only had the Yin Yang Qi derived from Golden Scissors, but he also held the Authority of the Five Elements.

With the Authority of the Five Elements in hand, it is his strongest means to dismantle the Fundamental Law of a small world.

Moreover, he has the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit Pearl, Heaven and Earth Spirit Pearl, Heaven-Opening Water Spirit Pearl. With these treasures in hand, combined with the Authority of the Five Elements, for Zhang Chen, destroying the Fundamental Law of a small world and returning everything to earth, water, wind, and fire isn’t difficult.

Seeing Zhang Chen gently point to the small world, three spiritual pearls fell into the small world and directly transformed into innate spirits, beginning to shake the laws within the small world.

Then Zhang Chen operated the authority of the Five Elements, fundamentally destroying the laws of the small world and shattering the order of the small world.

Accompanied by his various techniques, the Five Elements Law within the small world began to collapse. In the void, the power of earth, water, wind, and fire began to fluctuate, Yin Yang Qi disrupted the order of Heaven and Earth, the Qi of Chaos was transformed by Yin Yang Qi, and the entire small world fell into a state of collapse.

“Ant, you dare to destroy the Ancestor’s small world, you are simply courting death!”

During the destruction of the small world, a burst of ancient, terrifying Qi mechanism rose within the small world, transforming into a black figure holding a long sword, intending to soar into the sky and kill Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen remained as unmoving as a mountain, merely watching the figure seemingly crossing the world barrier, with pity in his eyes: “A being of the Daluo realm, how unfortunate…”

Sure enough, as his words fell, the Queen Mother of the West extended a finger across the border, directly shattering and crushing the opponent, then nonchalantly withdrew her hand, continuing to sleep in the Ice Hell.

An ordinary Daluo is not worth the Queen Mother of the West’s attention, crushing a Daluo Golden Immortal is no different from crushing an ant.

Zhang Chen continued his world-ending actions, with his destruction of a corner of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, the power of earth, water, wind, and fire surged, Qi of Chaos was generated, and the entire small world seemed to undergo a chain reaction, as the entire world began to collapse, laws began to disintegrate, Qi of Chaos surged and flooded the entire small world, countless beings were swallowed by the Qi of Chaos, becoming nourishment for the Qi of Chaos, turning into nothingness within it.

“It seems I have seen the future of the Great Thousand Worlds.” Zhang Chen looked at the extraordinary sacred spirits dying and disappearing in chaos and sighed suddenly.

“One day, the Great Thousand Worlds will inevitably face destruction, and to fight against the forces of chaos resulting from the collision of Heaven and Earth, only by proving the Way of the Daluo Golden Immortal can one have a chance to transcend and avoid being buried with the world. Yet even the Daluo Golden Immortal has only a slight chance and must rely on innate spiritual treasures to be safe. Only the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal can truly remain unaffected by the world’s end, as the Heaven and Earth decay, I remain undying, as the sun and moon extinguish, I remain unmoved,” the voice of the Queen Mother of the West resounded in Zhang Chen’s ears.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the small world that had fallen into a chaotic collapse, his face filled with shock, and after a long while, he said: “The Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal can already survive in chaos, why enter the Great Thousand Worlds to seek new worlds?”

“Chaos is deathly silent, akin to a prison, would you be willing to stay in a prison until time runs out, to die of old age?” the Queen Mother of the West retorted.

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this.

“Moreover, dwelling in chaos is nowhere near as comfortable as being in a grand world. It’s like one is a small black room enduring various calamities in chaos, the other is the comfortable Spirit Mountain Sacred Realm where one only needs to lay flat, and can simultaneously comprehend the World Laws. One is a place of comfort, and the other requires enduring the chaos of wind and rain, turbulent time and space streams in a small black room, is there any need to consider which to choose? Only a fool wouldn’t know how to choose.”

After hearing the Queen Mother of the West’s words, Zhang Chen had come to understand her predicament. If it were him, he would also seek a world to hide in, where one can cultivate safely and enjoy various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, isn’t that wonderful?

Zhang Chen stared at the small world beneath him, by now he no longer needed to act, the chaos tide began sweeping every corner of the small world, and before long, the entire small world had turned into a state of chaos.

Amidst it, powerful beings attempted to break through the world barrier and escape to life, but unfortunately, although it’s a small world, the world barrier isn’t that easy to break. Only by cultivating to the realm of a Golden Immortal does one have the qualification to break a small world.

At least in the present small world, aside from the previous Daluo Golden Immortal, no one possessed such ability.

As the small world returned to chaos, Zhang Chen pondered on the technique of opening the heavens, realizing that opening the heavens was no simple matter, he had no choice but to seek the help of the Queen Mother of the West:

“Does the Empress have a technique for opening the heavens?”

“The orthodox technique for opening the heavens requires too high a cultivation which you cannot employ, since this is merely a small world, I can impart you a cunning technique to help you successfully open the heavens,” after speaking, the Queen Mother of the West sent a stream of light into Zhang Chen’s brow, upon receiving the information within, Zhang Chen immediately understood its intricacies: “The so-called cunning technique for opening the heavens imparted by the Queen Mother of the West is to disrupt chaos, akin to a centrifugal machine, dispersing it into clear and turbid camps, the light rises to become the heavens, the heavy sinks to become the earth, then constructing the Five Elements Law, constructing the Law of Yin Yang, stabilizing and suppressing the force of earth, water, wind, and fire within, one can smoothly accomplish opening the heavens.”
