Open up and break into another world

Wendaofu.

It is not located within the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm; however, it is at the heart of the entire Endless Chaos—the Land of Origin.

Since he had heard that the only way to reach the Nine Heavens was through Wendaofu, Xu Ming naturally set off directly for Wendaofu.

Being in the Land of Origin, the distance from the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm to Wendaofu was naturally not far. Soon, Xu Ming arrived.

……

Wendaofu, with its carved balustrades and jade-tiled roofs, resembled a palace, extremely luxurious.

“This is the 'elite school' of the Endless Chaos?” Xu Ming mused.

Xu Ming didn't know much about Wendaofu; he had only heard that the geniuses who could cultivate there all had connections—some were descendants of Nirvana Realm experts, others had ties to domain lords…

These geniuses dared not participate in the cruel 'Myriad Domains Genius Battle,' making it difficult for them to enter the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm for cultivation; therefore, they relied on connections to come to Wendaofu.

“It is said…the teachers in Wendaofu teach their disciples with utmost care? As a result, many geniuses in Wendaofu are comparable to those in the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm; some even rival the geniuses of the strongest 'Chaos Mystic Realm'!”

Xu Ming was also curious about what kind of place Wendaofu was.

“I'll know once I go in and take a look!”

Just as Xu Ming was about to step into Wendaofu, he was stopped by the guards at the entrance: “Wendaofu is an important place; idlers are not allowed to enter!”

“Uh…” Xu Ming was slightly taken aback, thinking, “It's a good thing I know someone in Wendaofu; otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even get in!”

The person Xu Ming knew was none other than Elder Luan Wu of Wendaofu. Domain Lord Tianwen had introduced them after the Myriad Domains Genius Battle ended.

Xu Ming still remembered Domain Lord Tianwen saying rather solemnly at the time: The elders of Wendaofu are not simple! Like Elder Luan Wu, although he is only a Nirvana Realm cultivator, he possesses the battle prowess of a domain lord!

“Perhaps…this Elder Luan Wu has already comprehended the 'Realm of True Self'!”

At that time, Xu Ming's strength was still weak, and he couldn't imagine how Elder Luan Wu could rival a domain lord with the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm; now, Xu Ming knew that it must be because Elder Luan Wu had comprehended the Realm of True Self.

“However…even so, with my strength, I am qualified to interact with Elder Luan Wu on equal footing!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

Although Xu Ming's cultivation was only at the Desolate Realm, he had almost inexhaustible cheat points, so his strength could also rival a domain lord!

It's just that…the Endless Chaos is, after all, not the previous Chaos Era; Xu Ming had to be cautious when displaying his strength, not daring to be as reckless as he was in the previous Chaos Era, sweeping across everything with cheats.

When it's time to be low-key, it's still necessary to be a little low-key.

“Elder Luan Wu! This is Xu Ming!” Xu Ming directly sent a message, as he had Elder Luan Wu's communication imprint.

Clearly, Elder Luan Wu was not in seclusion, and immediately replied: “Oh? Xu Ming? Why did you think of looking for me?”

Elder Luan Wu should still have a relatively good impression of this genius, Xu Ming; otherwise, he wouldn't have replied immediately.

This time, the guards indeed did not stop him, and their eyes towards Xu Ming were also somewhat polite. It seemed that Elder Luan Wu's position in Wendaofu was quite high.

Soon, Xu Ming met Elder Luan Wu.

“Oh? Xu Ming, your cultivation has already reached the Desolate Realm!” Elder Luan Wu said with a smile.

“Yes!” Xu Ming nodded slightly.

In fact, Xu Ming had already entered the Desolate Realm before entering the River of Time. However, Xu Ming estimated that some of his information in the Ancient Remnant Realm had been blocked by the Divine Phoenix Realm Master; therefore, there were not many legends about Xu Ming in the Endless Chaos.

Elder Luan Wu's understanding of Xu Ming still remained at the time of the 'Myriad Domains Genius Battle'.

“Not bad, not bad! Your cultivation breakthrough is indeed very fast!” Elder Luan Wu praised.

Xu Ming smiled without saying a word.

You must know that Xu Ming's true strength is comparable to Elder Luan Wu! Even in a real life-and-death battle, Xu Ming can definitely crush Elder Luan Wu! — Elder Luan Wu actually spoke to him in a tone of 'praising a junior,' which made Xu Ming feel strange.

However, Xu Ming didn't want to reveal his strength; in order to be low-key, he defaulted to it.

Seeing Xu Ming's “reserved smile,” Elder Luan Wu thought he had guessed correctly, and said again: “You haven't been in the Desolate Realm for long, your cultivation should still be at the low-level Desolate Realm, right?”

Cultivation…

Xu Ming's cultivation was indeed only at the low-level Desolate Realm — the cultivation he had obtained from breaking through in the previous Chaos Era had turned into nothing when he entered the River of Time; after returning to the Ancient Remnant Realm, his cultivation returned to what it was before he went against the River of Time!

Seeing Xu Ming remain silent, Elder Luan Wu thought he had guessed correctly again, and asked: “Xu Ming, what are you here for at Wendaofu? Do you want to become my disciple?”

Xu Ming was speechless — this Elder Luan Wu's "self-talk ability" and "imagination" were simply perfect! He hadn't even said anything, and he had already thought of so much.

Xu Ming just wanted to say in his heart: I dare to become a disciple, dare you accept me?

In Xu Ming's eyes, even the Divine Phoenix Realm Master was not qualified to be his master! After all…Xu Ming was someone who had "killed" a Supreme!

However, Xu Ming also understood why Elder Luan Wu would think this way; after all, Elder Luan Wu was also a teacher in Wendaofu! — You must know that some of the genius disciples of Wendaofu are no less powerful than the geniuses of the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm! Elder Luan Wu must have regarded himself as an ordinary genius of the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm, so he would have such thoughts.

At this time, Elder Luan Wu continued: “With your talent, you are indeed qualified to become my disciple! When the 'Disciple Assessment' comes, you can also bring glory to me!”

“Cough cough…” Xu Ming couldn't help but interrupt Elder Luan Wu's words with an intentional cough, and said awkwardly, “Elder Luan Wu, I'm not here to become a disciple!”

“Oh?” Elder Luan Wu was a little puzzled and asked, “You came to Wendaofu not to become a disciple, then what else is there?”

“I want to ask…” Xu Ming thought for a while and said straightforwardly, “What does it take to enter the 'Nine Heavens'!”

“You want to go to the Nine Heavens!?” Elder Luan Wu glanced at Xu Ming in surprise, then smiled and said, “You must have heard something somewhere, right? The Nine Heavens is indeed a place that countless powerful beings dream of going to; but well…it's impossible for you to go!”
