The sky seemed to have torn open, yet anyone familiar with the Xianzhou knew the truth: this space was merely an artificially created dimension layered over the existing one.
If even this place could be broken, then disaster for the Xianzhou itself wouldn’t be far behind.

Whether through training, fortune, or innate talent, none escape the chain of cause and effect.
But as Jingliu observed the changes in the surrounding air, she sensed a force disconnected from causality—a power foreign to the Xianzhou and entirely focused on subduing her. She couldn’t afford to be taken away.

One of the Xianzhou’s famed eight phrases, and one that Sushang had heard countless times from her mother during her childhood. It was often paired with others like "You’ll get used to it," "Age catches up with you," and "What’s done is done."
These phrases invariably appeared before or after trouble occurre...

The Xianzhou didn’t have seasons as such; its daily climate shifts still fell within a range comfortable for its inhabitants and most living beings. But the Artisanship Commission was gripped by bitter winds. Wherever the blindfolded woman went, the area froze into an eerie stillness, life snuffed out, everything locked in ice.
The mysterious figure seemed to sense the gaze from the void, turning her head with a hint of confusion. Despite the black cloth obscuring her eyes, the dangerous aura radiating from her was palpable—even through the screen, Chen Lin could feel it.
Who the hell is this?!
Chen Lin’s mind spun with questions. This woman was not part of the plan he had devised with Jing Yu...

This was the core of the Disciple Sanctus’s sanctum, filled with towering buildings that formed narrow and complex alleyways.
