Shi Hao had been utterly bewildered lately. After meeting White Qilin in the Ancient City, a teleportation array had sent him to an underwater volcano, where he obtained a phoenix egg. But the egg had no soul inside it. He recalled what Jun Moxiao had told him about the Great Dream of Immortal Ancient: the two friends he had met in that dream might already have reincarnated as Huo Ling'er and Lunar Jade Rabbit. White Qilin accepting Little Rabbit as his master proved it all. Huo Ling'er might be the reincarnation of that phoenix maiden, and the soulless phoenix egg gave even more weight to Jun Moxiao's words.
Shi Hao carefully put the phoenix egg away. Fate truly worked in wondrous ways. He had known Huo Ling'er for over ten years, never imagining that she was the reincarnation of a friend he had met in the Great Dream of Immortal Ancient. Back then, he had watched them die before his very eyes, powerless to do anything.
Shi Hao swore inwardly that he would never let such a tragedy happen again.
Shi Hao planned to return to the Ancient City, but just then, he encountered the cauldron he had previously met in Immortal Ancient. It carried him straight through a spatial rift to an unfamiliar place.
Shi Hao learned from a passerby that this was the Otherworld. Little Pagoda was so frightened that it immediately burrowed into the World Treasure Box and transmitted its voice: "Holy shit! How did we end up here? I've got to hide. If an Immortal King discovers us, we're done for."
Speechless, Shi Hao asked the cauldron, "What did you bring me here for?"
A voice came from the cauldron: "To let you learn the truth about the world."
Shi Hao said, "Learn, my ass! Xiaoxiao
