The Watcher Courting Death

At the mouth of an icy canyon, Natasha, dressed in thin clothing, kept moving her limbs in hopes of warding off the cold.

But as her body temperature continued to drop, she looked toward the depths of the canyon in despair.

"Did that person really take me as his student? I'm not going to freeze to death here, am I?"

Just as Natasha was considering whether to leave, Feng Xu emerged from the canyon.

After a night of recuperation, although his injuries had not recovered much, he had gained a far clearer understanding of this world.

Using his divine sense to scan the planet, Feng Xu easily located its strongest expert.

Someone whose energy level had reached the peak of the Human Immortal realm, perhaps even the Mysterious Immortal realm.

That person was in the Himalayas, protected by a strange formation.

Besides scanning Earth, Feng Xu extended his divine sense into the universe.

During his investigation, he discovered quite a few experts at the Human Immortal or Mysterious Immortal level and also figured out some basic information.

This universe seemed to consist of countless bubbles. Large bubbles enveloped small bubbles, while small bubbles enveloped even smaller ones.

Feng Xu was currently inside an extremely tiny bubble. Around it were bubbles as numerous as stars, all enclosed within a larger bubble.

In the cultivation world, this would be equivalent to a Minor World.

Above it were Medium Worlds, Major Worlds, World Domains, and the Ninety-Nine Heavens.

Of course, Feng Xu's divine sense had only scanned this small bubble. He had merely ventured outside to glance at the larger bubble beyond before swiftly withdrawing it.

In the depths of his intuition, he could sense that within the outermost and largest bubble was an existence capable of rivaling him at his peak.

Feng Xu's injuries had yet to heal, so it was better to keep a low profile. Even if he wanted to fight, he would have to wait until he recovered.

By then, even if he smashed the entire universe to pieces, he could restore and recreate it all by himself.

"Tea~cher~"

A faintly aggrieved voice interrupted Feng Xu's thoughts.

Looking at Natasha shivering in the frigid wind, Feng Xu finally remembered that he had just accepted a mortal disciple.

"Ahem. You did very well. You have passed the test your master set for you."

Without so much as a blush or a change in breath, Feng Xu calmly bluffed his way through it.

Seeing Natasha's face full of disbelief, Feng Xu reached out and sliced a chunk of stone from the canyon wall beside him.

Then spiritual power surged from within him and wrapped around it. Immediately afterward, three-colored flames appeared in the void and began to temper it.

After only a second, the massive stone had been condensed into something the size of a palm, crystal-clear and resembling a piece of precious jade.

The instant the jade was completed, it vanished.

The next second, the jade, threaded onto a red cord, appeared around Natasha's neck.

At that moment, warmth enveloped Natasha's entire body. The biting wind felt like a spring breeze against her skin, and her whole body was even brimming with strength.

She felt like she could punch a cow to death with one blow!

"I'll give you this little trinket as a reward for passing the test."

Although Feng Xu had merely refined it from a stone he picked up at random, it had still reached the level of an ordinary immortal artifact.

The materials were simply too mundane, and Feng Xu himself was not skilled at artifact refinement, so its effects were not as powerful as those of a typical immortal artifact.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Natasha immediately beamed with delight, feeling that she had not endured a night of freezing for nothing.

At the same time, she secretly marveled at the power and mystery of this bargain-bin teacher of hers.

He had casually burned a stone and made something the Red Room had dreamed of researching.

Even if someone told her Feng Xu was God, she would dare to believe it now!

"Alright, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come here."

Feng Xu beckoned Natasha over, took her hand again, and said, "It's time to pay a visit to this planet's strongest expert."

"Good places belong to the virtuous. It's about time we settled on an address for our sect."

Although Feng Xu had not recovered from his injuries and had only barely reached the Human Immortal level, he still possessed the body and realm of an Immortal Emperor.

He was certainly more virtuous than that person in the Himalayas!

Just as Feng Xu was about to leave with Natasha, his brows suddenly furrowed as he lifted his gaze toward the boundless starry sky.

In an instant, an awe-inspiring aura surged forth, tearing through layer upon layer of clouds and shooting straight into the heavens.

"Teacher, I'm still here!"

Having once suffered accidental injuries that left her entire body fractured, Natasha instinctively backed away. But her hand was being held, and she could not break free at all.

"Don't be afraid." Feng Xu gently squeezed Natasha's little hand and spoke two words without lowering his head.

Previously, the harm had been caused by his emotional agitation and failure to control the leaking aura. This time, he had controlled it properly and avoided Natasha.

Hearing that, Natasha stopped struggling desperately, though she still pitifully tried to stand as far away as possible.

Ignoring Natasha's little movements, Feng Xu withdrew his aura and divine sense after only one breath.

Then he waved his hand, scattering layers of spiritual power around himself to conceal his heavenly secrets. With a disdainful expression, he muttered to himself.

"Consider yourself lucky. If I had not just arrived in this world and still failed to grasp its laws and Great Dao, I would have made a spying rat like you perish in body and soul."

Feng Xu was not boasting.

As an Immortal Emperor in the cultivation world who controlled countless Great Daos, he was unique across past and future alike.

With a casual gesture, he could create or destroy a world. With a single thought, he could alter the laws of the world. He was a truly indescribable existence.

Even Immortal Kings one level below him would suffer grievous injury at best or perish in body and soul at worst if they dared spy on him.

Not to mention that the person who had just peered at him was merely comparable to a trifling Mysterious Immortal.

As Feng Xu spoke.

In an unknowable place above layer upon layer of starry skies.

The Watcher, dressed in a gray robe with an enormous forehead, suddenly collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning and let out a miserable howl.

A trail of bloody tears seeped from his once-bright eyes.

Only after a quarter of an hour did he slowly recover. Once he rose to his feet, his face was filled with the relief of having survived a calamity.

To injure him so effortlessly, that person was at least at the peak of a Single Universe, perhaps even at the Multiverse level.

"I never expected a lunatic close to the Multiverse level to arrive in this universe. He won't even let me look at him!"

"Luckily, he couldn't sustain it. I almost died..."

Though he said that, The Watcher still looked toward the multifaceted prism before him that he used to observe reality.

Since he could not watch openly, he could simply sneak a careful look!

Clearly, courting death was his specialty.

Yet the next scene left The Watcher troubled.

"He disappeared? Did he leave this universe? No, he must have used some method to hide himself!"

"The methods of an existence like that really are incredible!"

After pondering for a moment.

The Watcher turned his gaze toward the summit of the Himalayas and quietly made excuses to himself.

"Although I'm only allowed to watch, observe, and record, he is still an old friend of mine, more or less. It's only natural for me to give him a heads-up."
