"Mm?"

Li Rui jolted awake from his dream, and the book in his hand fell to the floor with a smack!

The old master beside him showed concern. "Young friend, scholarship too requires a balance between work and rest. Why not return and get some proper sleep?"

This old master had always been renowned for his strictness in academic pursuits, yet he had actually spoken of balancing work and rest. If his students heard those words, who knew what they would think.

There was no helping it—Li Rui was simply too diligent. Even this old pedant could not find a single fault with him. Truly a fine young man.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Lin."

Li Rui nodded to the old master.

He returned the fragmentary volume to the shelf, then left Hongwen Pavilion.

"It has been a long time since I last experienced the taste of death."

Li Rui thought to himself.

That was right.

Just now, in the Great Void Dao Field, he had died.

How could an immortal-grade inheritance be so easily obtained?

With Li Rui's aptitude, he had only taken three steps before his divine soul was ground away.

That White Jade Bridge had originally been prepared for those ascending to immortality. At the very least, they had to be True Lords. As someone in the Spirit Severing Realm, it was only natural that he could not endure it and was instantly slain.

"Senior Brother once said that Eldest Brother's and Second Brother's Dao Fields lie at the end of the White Jade Bridge."

Though he bore the title of the Lord of the Immortal Court's successor, he did not expect his own master's Dao Field to show him any mercy.

As for meeting those two senior brothers of his, he expected that even less.
