The truth revealed by Miao Fengjun left Li Muyang utterly shocked.

Yet, upon deeper reflection, it didn’t seem surprising.

After all, the various manifestations of the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch in the past were indeed different from those of other Evil Gods.

The most notable difference was that the Evil God of the Ancient Resentment Well would not appear during the day, yet the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch could be lured out in broad daylight.

And it specifically targeted “Jie Zijiu,” who had broken through the Knowledge Barrier.

Now that Miao Fengjun explained the reason, Li Muyang finally understood the truth.

Ultimately, after a detailed conversation lasting half an hour with Miao Fengjun, Li Muyang made his decision.

“Very well! I will try the method you proposed, senior.”

Miao Fengjun had spent many years researching within the Ancient Resentment Well, studying not just the miraculous array beneath the ruins of the Great Zhou Imperial City but also methods to breach the Knowledge Barrier.

Now, he had proposed a suggestion that sounded plausible, and after careful consideration, Li Muyang decided to give it a try.

— After all, it was only his avatar going. If it perished, so be it.

If the Knowledge Barrier could indeed be broken and the living beings of the Ancient Resentment Well liberated, the tide of battle would turn completely.

Li Muyang would gain the upper hand in power, enough to sweep through the Mortal World.

After making his decision, Li Muyang immediately flew to meet the members of the Mysterious Sword Sect and informed them of his plan.

Before entering the Ancient Resentment Well, Li Muyang entrusted the Yin Life Book and the Green Saber Mantis to Liu Li Fairy Chu Qingxue.

With the Green Saber Mantis guiding the way and the Yin Life Book dispersing the mist, the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect would be able to cross the Misty Sea and reach the opposite continent.

The current situation in the Cultivation World was fraught with complexity; Li Muyang’s true body was hunting the resurrected divine corpses, though the outcome remained uncertain.

Considering the looming threat posed by the Otherworldly Demon Gods beyond Outer Heaven, Li Muyang had to swiftly mobilize the high-ranking combat forces of Tianyuan Continent to the other shore.

The Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect had remarkable determination and cultivation levels; several prodigies among them were already on the verge of breaking through to the Taichu Realm.

At this juncture, the nearby Cultivation World’s pharmacological cultivation system could play a pivotal role.

Just short one final push, huh? Then rely heavily on spiritual medicine! Use the explosive power of top-grade medicine to shatter the barrier, ensuring success in breaking through.

Before arriving, Li Muyang had already asked Yu Chan to seek out top-grade spiritual medicine.

Once these Sword Cultivators reached the opposite shore, an abundance of top-grade spiritual medicine would be available to them, sufficient to elevate a group of Taichu Realm Sword Cultivators in just a few days.

By then, regardless of the developments at the Deep Space Temple, the Sword Cultivators would be ready to respond in time.

After making all the arrangements, Li Muyang bid farewell to the Sword Cultivators as they rode atop the Green Saber Mantis.

He would venture alone into the Ancient Resentment Well to confront the terrifying and formidable Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch.

At this moment of parting, the Sword Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect silently turned their heads away, not saying a word.

Only Liu Li Fairy Chu Qingxue flew close, accepting the Yin Life Book passed to her by Li Muyang, her words caught in her throat.

Their gazes met. Li Muyang smiled faintly and said, “It’s just an avatar, nothing more. Even if it truly dies, it’s no matter.”

“My true body is still safe on the other shore. As long as you and the senior brothers and sisters protect my true body, I can lose as many avatars as needed without consequence.”

Li Muyang noticed the worry and reluctance in Liu Li Fairy’s expression and offered words of comfort.

But Liu Li Fairy looked at him sorrowfully and said in a soft voice, “Yet every time your avatar perishes, your true body endures unbearable pain… Experiencing death is never a pleasant feeling.”

“If survival is possible, I don’t wish to see you die.”

She referred to the agony Li Muyang had suffered previously in the game when his clay avatar was destroyed.

Li Muyang coughed lightly at this and replied, “Actually, not every death feels that painful…”

At least, the death of an avatar wouldn’t hurt.

But clearly, Chu Qingxue didn’t believe him.

Their eyes met again, and Chu Qingxue’s pupils shimmered with tears as though a thousand words lay unspoken in her heart.

Ultimately, it all condensed into a single phrase.

“…Please take care of yourself!”

Standing amidst the vast void, watching the silhouette of the massive Green Saber Mantis fly into the distance and seeing Chu Qingxue and the others leave, Li Muyang sighed softly.

He too turned and headed towards the Ancient Resentment Well.

Miao Fengjun would accompany him on this journey, though only to clear his path—he would not assist Li Muyang in directly confronting the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch.

Miao Fengjun said, “If possible, try your best not to die.”

As the two stepped into the Ancient Resentment Well, Miao Fengjun remarked, “Your Corpse Refining Puppet Technique is indeed exquisite, but losing too many puppets tends to muddle one’s senses.”

“When one loses reverence for life and death, it becomes easy to make mistakes.”

“Should your true body ever misjudge a situation during a future duel and end up dying… then there will be no way to recover.”

Miao Fengjun offered his advice.

Moments later, the duo parted ways, forging separate paths within the Ancient Resentment Well.

Li Muyang stepped forward alone, gazing at the familiar world of the Ancient Resentment Well. Returning here now, a sense of nostalgia unexpectedly surfaced.

This was something no other game in the past could ever provide.

Perhaps it was because this world was Little Wild Grass’s painstakingly crafted utopia—a sanctuary and final refuge for the Human Realm.

Li Muyang took a deep breath and flew directly towards the central mountain ridge of the Ancient Resentment Well.

According to Miao Fengjun’s account, this place was the heart of the Ancient Resentment Well’s world, the focal point of the array maintaining the Knowledge Barrier.

This was also where the Heavenly Eye Earth Monarch’s true body lay dormant.

The location wasn’t far from the Great Zhou Imperial City.

Li Muyang soared swiftly across the sky.

As a Cultivator blatantly traversing the heavens above, the living beings below—the Puppet Masters—turned a blind eye to this supernatural display of flying. None of them could perceive the Cultivator streaking across the sky.

Four hours later, Li Muyang reached the very center of the Ancient Resentment Well.

Here lay an expansive, untamed, primitive mountain range. Amid forests so dense that they blackened the skies and the rampant presence of wild beasts, stood a barren and desolate wasteland devoid of vegetation.

The winds whipped across the terrain, where towering, hundred-meter-high stone pillars rose into the sky, forming a mysterious stone forest.

These pillars resembled a vast array of colossal array flags piercing the heavens.

Gazing at the immense stone forest before him, Li Muyang narrowed his eyes.

“…It truly is an array.”

An unmistakable array, with the stone forest channeling nature’s spiritual energy to sustain an immensely vast power structure.

This was undoubtedly the largest and most formidable array Li Muyang had ever encountered.

One could only imagine the effort Little Wild Grass had poured into completing such an imposing formation.

Li Muyang walked directly to the center of the stone forest and, following Miao Fengjun’s instructions, located the unique core of the array.

Instead of a stone pillar, the core was a giant array flag.

Forged from unknown materials, the array flag stood as tall as the hundred-meter stone pillars, silently towering within the majestic stone forest.

Li Muyang stepped forward, raised his head to examine the flag, and reached out to grip its pole.

In the next moment, his entire body jolted.

Before he could employ Miao Fengjun’s prescribed method to dismantle the array, he sensed the surrounding winds suddenly freeze; the flow of time in this realm appeared to halt.

Within the absolute stillness of space-time, the faint silhouette of a fairy began to emerge.

“…Brother, is that you?”

The matured voice of Little Wild Grass, tinged with aloof pride, rang out across the stone forest.

Li Muyang paused in astonishment upon hearing her distinctively theatrical tone.

This mischievous girl had actually left a backdoor here?

Yet, before Li Muyang could revel in the discovery, he noticed that the ambiguous figure within the stone forest remained motionless.

She stood silently, making no moves to assist Li Muyang in bypassing the array or breaching the Knowledge Barrier.

Instead, she simply stared at him, her voice resonating with solemnity, saying, “Brother, this is the final sanctuary I’ve left for you.”

“You’ve come here to destroy the Knowledge Barrier and lead the souls of this realm back to the Mortal World, haven’t you?
