Liu Chengfeng stepped through the portal, but he was not transported to Little Meng Mountain as he had intended.

The Myriad World Wristband had never failed before, but this time it not only malfunctioned, it did so spectacularly, teleporting him directly into a Celestial Body tribulation zone.

The moment he entered the tribulation zone, he was subjected to a frantic bombardment of heavenly tribulation.

All the lightning and fire poured down upon his entire body like a torrential rain.

It sent shivers down the spine of Liu Chengfeng, who had traversed countless small worlds.

"Someone is undergoing tribulation—"

Having crashed into the tribulation zone, Liu Chengfeng realized that someone was inside, forcibly enduring the heavenly tribulation.

However, he no longer had the heart to pay attention to others, because his Myriad World Wristband could no longer hold on.

The precious light of the Myriad World Wristband had been shielding his entire body.

Under the frantic bombardment of lightning and fire, the power of the Myriad World Wristband was depleting rapidly, draining away at a breakneck pace.

"Teleport to Little Meng Mountain."

Liu Chengfeng urged the Myriad World Wristband once more, but the device was already powerless.

He couldn't even escape; the most terrifying thing happened as the Myriad World Wristband shattered, finally unable to withstand the power of the heavenly tribulation.

"Oh no—"

Liu Chengfeng was horrified as the Myriad World Wristband disintegrated instantly.

All the lightning and fire slammed into his body, causing blood to splatter as if he were about to be blasted into a mist of gore.

My life ends here—

Liu Chengfeng never imagined that such a fatal error would occur.

At the critical moment of life and death, a loud boom erupted; the Celestial Body actually rushed out from his mind, shielding his body and charging toward the deepest part of the tribulation zone.

Before Liu Chengfeng could recover from his shock, he was already hurtling into the center like a meteor, seeing the person undergoing the tribulation.

The person undergoing the tribulation was a fairy; Liu Chengfeng had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.

The fairy was breathtakingly beautiful, making the sun, moon, and stars lose their luster, with a figure so graceful it defied description.

She was a peerless beauty of the mortal world, transcendent and refined, sacred and inviolable.

The fairy was dressed in white, with sword qi manifesting to protect her entire body, blocking the heavenly lightning and tribulation fire.

Ancient and profound runes floated around the fairy; she was deconstructing the runes while undergoing the heavenly tribulation.

Liu Chengfeng had never seen such a miraculous sight.

"Watch out—"

Liu Chengfeng shouted a warning.

The Celestial Body shielded him like a massive meteorite, slamming fiercely toward the fairy undergoing the tribulation.

Suddenly, someone intruded into the tribulation; whether it was the fairy or the Gods and Devils of the Ten Directions guarding the tribulation, they were all shocked and stunned for a moment.

With a loud "bang," Liu Chengfeng collided with the fairy.

The fairy, who had been deconstructing the Dao during her tribulation, was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Liu Chengfeng, unable to control himself, charged into the deconstruction runes.

Before he could even react, the Celestial Body swirled, dragging all the deconstruction runes into Liu Chengfeng's body.

The powerful force felt as if it were crushing his body to pieces; the pain made him spit out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black.

I have to go back to Little Meng Mountain; I still have to inherit the position of crown prince in the old man's household.

As he was about to lose consciousness, these thoughts remained at the forefront of Liu Chengfeng's mind.

The deconstruction runes that had been pulled into his body truly transformed into a portal, instantly sending him to Zhao Family Village outside the Wu Dao Sect in the Green Meng Realm.

Just as Liu Chengfeng fell into Little Meng Mountain, a wisp of divine light followed him down into Zhao Family Village, outside the Wu Dao Sect of Little Meng Mountain.

He did not know how much time had passed, but Liu Chengfeng slowly woke up, his entire body aching with intense pain.

"It hurts like hell—"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but let out a cry.

Opening his eyes, he realized he was lying on a bed, his entire body wrapped in medicinal plasters and white cloth like a rice dumpling.

"Young Master, you're awake! You're awake! Thank the heavens."

As Liu Chengfeng woke up, a middle-aged man guarding the bedside said with great joy.

Seeing the tall, sturdy, and honest-looking middle-aged man before him, Liu Chengfeng felt a surge of joy, and his heart finally relaxed.

His life had been saved.

"Uncle Feng, long time no see."

"Young Master, it's me. Thank the heavens, you were finally saved, you were saved."

Seeing Liu Chengfeng come back to life, the middle-aged man was so moved he nearly burst into tears.

When Liu Chengfeng had fallen from the sky, his body had been on the verge of shattering, hanging by a thread; he had truly thought there was no saving him.

If he hadn't been able to save him, how could he have answered to the old master who had passed away?

"Is this Little Meng Mountain?"

The middle-aged man was one of the two servants Liu Chengfeng's master had taken in halfway through his journey.

"Yes, it is Little Meng Mountain, the Wu Dao Sect."

"Wu Dao Sect? What kind of sect is that? Is it a legendary divine dynasty?"

Liu Chengfeng recalled the old man telling him once to return to Little Meng Mountain to inherit his mantle.

"A divine dynasty?"

Zhou Yinfeng looked puzzled.

"The Wu Dao Sect is not a divine dynasty; it is just a small sect on Little Meng Mountain."

"How many disciples does it have? Does it possess any divine arts?"

"There is only you, young master. The old master instructed that you are to inherit his mantle."

"Old man, you set me up—"

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng felt that something was wrong.

His master had said that he was Crown Prince Li, and that once he obtained the Celestial Body, he could come to Little Meng Mountain to inherit his mantle.

He had assumed it was a legendary divine dynasty; after all, the old man called himself Crown Prince Li, and his ancestral treasure was the heaven-defying Myriad World Wristband.

He had come back to inherit a mantle—if not the prince of a divine dynasty, then what was it?

Now, as it turned out, the old man's mantle was merely a small sect, and a one-man show at that, with only him as the sole member.

"Did you fall and knock yourself silly? Little one, where did your master have any divine dynasty for you to inherit?"

A crisp, pleasant voice rang out from the doorway.

Standing at the entrance was a woman with an ordinary appearance, dressed in a loose green robe, carrying a fragrance like orchids that was refreshing to the senses.

The woman crossed her arms over her chest, and even though the green robe was loose, it still accentuated her ample figure.

"Who are you?"

It was Liu Chengfeng's first time seeing this woman.

For some reason, he felt she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, yet he couldn't quite place her.

"I am your junior martial aunt. Don't you remember?"

The woman walked over and leaned down to look at Liu Chengfeng; as she drew near, her fragrance filled his nose, making him feel at ease.

Liu Chengfeng thought carefully, but he had never seen this woman, let alone had a junior martial aunt.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but look toward Zhou Yinfeng.

"The young master has been in a coma for half a year. Fortunately, the young lady brought medicine back."

Zhou Yinfeng didn't know if the junior martial aunt was real or not; he had spent even less time by the old master's side.

After being taken in as a servant by the old master, he had been sent here to Little Meng Mountain to guard the Wu Dao Sect.

"Are you really my junior martial aunt?"

Liu Chengfeng had never heard the old man mention such a junior fellow apprentice. If the old man was Crown Prince Li, then what was this junior martial aunt?

"Did you and my master both come from the divine dynasty?"

"No."

The woman, Ye Huijian, shook her head and smiled, a sight that made one's eyes light up.

"There is no divine dynasty, only the Wu Dao Sect."

"Then what about my master, Crown Prince Li? What is going on?"

Liu Chengfeng was a bit bewildered. The old man claimed to be Crown Prince Li, yet there was no divine dynasty for him to inherit.

There was only a tiny Wu Dao Sect, and now, an unexpected junior martial aunt.

"Go ask your master."

"The old man is already gone."

Liu Chengfeng was speechless; where was he supposed to ask when the old man was already dead?

"Recover your health. You must solve your own mysteries yourself."

Ye Huijian refused to tell him, turned around, and left.

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng's heart was filled with many mysteries.

Who was his master, why did he want him to inherit the Wu Dao Sect, and why had a junior martial aunt suddenly appeared?

Under Zhou Yinfeng's care, Liu Chengfeng recovered quickly, and before long, he was able to get out of bed.

Zhou Yinfeng handed a secret box to Liu Chengfeng.

"Young Master, when the Master sent us to guard the Wu Dao Sect, he instructed me to pass this item to you."

"The old man left something behind?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious; he wondered what the old man had left for him, acting so mysterious.

"Right, I remember that back then, Master took in two of you, didn't he?"

After taking the secret box, Liu Chengfeng recalled something.

Back then, his master had not only taken Zhou Yinfeng as a servant but also another servant named Zhao Jinnian.

Ever since he had awakened, he had not seen Zhao Jinnian.

At the mention of the other servant, the loyal Zhou Yinfeng's expression turned gloomy.

"Young Master, Zhao Jinnian built Zhao Family Village outside Ten Mile Village and has already put down roots there."

Liu Chengfeng understood what Zhou Yinfeng meant; the other servant, Zhao Jinnian, had intentions of establishing his own sect.

After Zhou Yinfeng left, Liu Chengfeng opened the secret box, which only he could open.

On top of the secret box lay a sealed letter.

Liu Chengfeng opened it and saw that it was his master's final testament.

My disciple, I, Crown Prince Li, once vied with others for the heavens in my youth, but I was defeated. I swore an oath to abandon my father's legacy and create a new path to prove that I, Crown Prince Li, am inferior to no one...

I exhausted my entire life searching for secret treasures and peering into the heavenly dao, but time did not wait for me. My old wounds resurfaced, my lifespan was nearing its end, and the hope of creating a new path vanished...

I left you at the Wu Dao Sect because Little Meng Mountain hides a secret.

The Source of the Origin God is hidden in Little Meng Mountain. You must collect the secret treasures to unlock the Source and aid your path to godhood...

The road to godhood is arduous; you must enter the dao from the simplest of beginnings to forge your own unique path to the gods.

My life's ambition was to create a new path and defeat my old enemies. Alas, what a pity...

After reading the final testament left by his master, Liu Chengfeng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

His master rarely spoke of his past and never discussed the cultivation of gods with him.

He had only ever told him to travel through small worlds to search for Celestial Bodies.

Now, Liu Chengfeng understood that his master had once vied for the heavens to become a god, only to be defeated by the hands of others.

He had been forced to abandon his old path and start from scratch.

In an instant, memories of the past flooded his mind; Liu Chengfeng felt a mix of warmth and sorrow, and he felt like crying.

He was merely an orphan fleeing from famine when his master took him in as a disciple and treated him like his own flesh and blood. He had not only passed down the Myriad World Wristband to him.

He had even spared no cost to his own life to send him through small worlds to search for Celestial Bodies.

The path his master could not finish was now entrusted to him.

"Old man, my life was given by you. Your path shall be walked by me. One day, I will surely defeat all your enemies!"

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, his words ringing with conviction as he bowed to his master's letter.

Liu Chengfeng put away the letter; there were other items in the secret box.

A long sword, two manuals, and a black stone the size of a palm.

He had seen the black stone before; he often saw his master take it out to fiddle with it, sighing from time to time.

He remembered his master saying that this black stone had a heaven-shaking origin, but unfortunately, he could not comprehend it.

He hoped that after Liu Chengfeng obtained the Celestial Bodies, he would be able to comprehend the black stone.

Looking at the black stone, Liu Chengfeng understood that his master had passed everything he had on to him.

The two manuals in the secret box were not divine skills, but two ordinary introductory manuals.

One was the Angry Bear Mental Method, and the other was the Three Husbands Sword Technique.

His master had abandoned his old path, so he did not pass down any of the divine skills he had used in his lifetime.

Instead, he wanted Liu Chengfeng to cultivate from the simplest introductory techniques, start over, and forge a new path so that he could defeat the old enemies in the future.

"Then let it begin. On the road to the heavens and the path to godhood, I shall be the peak at the end!"

After composing his emotions, Liu Chengfeng made his bold declaration.
