The cultivators of the Great World would never have imagined the boundless loneliness and fear in the heart of a modern transmigrator when he first arrived in the Cultivation World.
The Wang Family's night raid, cultivators' wanton slaughter, Azure Heaven Grand Lord's suppression with a turn of his hand, the sudden betrayal of the medical hall's common folk... all of it had carved an indelible terror and dread into Chen Xun's young heart.
The shadows of youth took a lifetime to heal; that had never been empty talk. Chen Xun simply had never revealed it in words.
All these little things, piled together, had silently shaped his selfish and cold side—a side that never trusted outsiders, that would only treat others well if they first treated him well.
When he fled Little Mountain Village, he had even used the story of a chicken to ignite a war across the Cultivation World, exposing that warped state of mind he carried in this foreign world—commonly known as persecutory delusion!
And it was precisely this journey that had made Chen Xun notice something before entering the Immortal Prison. Whether it was true or false, only by utterly perishing once in the Great World could he live again.
Only by casting away everything from the past could he truly view all things as an outsider. He had to be ruthless toward his enemies, and even more ruthless toward himself—just as he had boldly opened the Five-Elements Immortal Path back then.
Chen Xun had an innate viciousness in his bones. Whenever he killed, he always destroyed the corpses and erased the traces. He had never softened his hand while slaughtering hundreds of millions of Filthlife. All the kindness and serenity he showed the outside world were merely disguises.
No one could know the twisted journey
