Other displaced cultivators struggled against the world’s regenerating flesh and ox-headed centipede monsters, while Zhao Sheng and Chen Guang remained behind to pursue their separate goals.

Two years later, he mastered another Great Dao True Script and learned that the undying strange creatures resembled the Six Desires Heavenly Demon, leaving him wary that a True Immortal might have fallen inside the Reaching Heaven Tower.
