When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

"Besides this long-lost sense of familiarity, there's something else," Zhu Chongjiu said to Xiao Hei.

"Oh?

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Hei asked, scratching his head.

"I wonder if everyone has noticed that since we came out of the Proterozoic Era, we have not only not passed through any universe-level worlds, but all the small worlds we have passed through are like a string of candied hawthorns."

Each world has only two pathways.

Moreover, in the adjacent worlds, their strengths are roughly equal, so no matter how difficult the situation, neither can defeat the other.

This leads to one thing: you can never go to a third world other than yourself.

But this Pure Spirit World is different. I discovered that besides the two obvious passages, there are several hidden passages around this world.

"If I hadn't traversed hundreds of interdimensional connection portals, which gave me considerable insight into it, I wouldn't have discovered it."

Just as Zhu Chongjiu was speaking, Xiao Jin, who was standing to the side, immediately looked around and asked, "Where is Ninth Brother? Where is the passage?"

How come I didn't notice?

"Didn't Ninth Brother say that if he hadn't made a breakthrough in his understanding of the world's connection channels, he wouldn't have been able to discover it either?"

You only care about fighting when there's a fight, and playing when there's no fight. When there's nothing else, you go treasure hunting.

"What can you find?" Xiao Mu, who always liked to dismantle the cash, once again proved to be true to his word.

Then the two of them started fighting again behind the crowd.

"Ninth Brother, what do we do now?" Xiao Rou asked Zhu Chongjiu, ignoring the two fighting behind them.

"Little Rou, what else can we do?"

"Let's just charge in and see what's going on, like before!" Xiao Tu said, replying to Xiao Rou.

"The danger level of such passages, whether natural or intentionally hidden, is far higher than that of passages that are exposed in the open."

Especially the latter.

Therefore, it's best to be cautious.

Hearing Xiaorou say this, Xiaotu scratched his head and asked, "Little Rou, what do you suggest we do?"

"I suggest that it is not advisable for a large group to enter at the same time."

"Someone should go in as a vanguard to scout out the situation first," Xiaorou said.

"Hmm... this method is feasible."

This reduces risks beyond the scope of the entire organization.

After agreeing with Xiao Rou's suggestion to himself, Xiao Tu asked, "Then, Xiao Rou, who do you think is the most suitable among us to go?"

“Xiao Tu, your combat experience is no less than mine, so I don’t need to say anything more!” Xiao Rou replied.

"Both of them need to be able to carry the load and run fast."

Besides Ninth Brother, the most resilient among us are me and Xiao Jin.

Besides Hei Ge, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Lei, the fastest runner is Xiao Jin.

Blackie wasn't a combat-type monster, but Big Bear was, though Big Bear was too clumsy.

Small winds and small thunders are all fragile.

Xiao Mu...? Xiao Mu won't do either, she's not suitable.

Little Rou is quite versatile, especially in terms of lethality, but for reconnaissance work, lethality is secondary.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Xiao Tu finally included himself and Xiao Jin in his consideration.

"Why……!

I told you two to stop fighting, Ninth Brother has a mission.

The two men, who were fooling around in the rear, immediately stopped when they heard that Ninth Brother had a mission and came to the front of the group.

"Ninth Brother, what's the mission?"

"So, I'll be the first one to go this time?" Xiao Jin was the first to speak.

“What do you mean you’re the first to be affected? It’s always you, it’s my turn now,” Xiao Mu said immediately.

"You two stop arguing. This time, it wasn't me calling you two, it was Xiao Tu."

"Xiao Tu also mentioned the mission; you two go find him."

After speaking to Xiao Mu and Xiao Jin, Zhu Chongjiu continued to say to Xiao Tu, "Xiao Tu, I have high hopes for you."

You are now in full command of this mission, leading your brothers and sisters to explore the new continent.

As for me, I'll go wander around somewhere else first.

As dusk fell, in the world beyond the last remaining hidden passage.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu have just entered this place.

"Little Jin, this world is much better than the previous ones."

"Although there are no highly intelligent beings here, at least a small portion of the monsters in this world are about to develop sentience," Xiao Tu said to Xiao Jin beside him.

"That's true, but it seems that the passage to this world will soon be merged with the Qingling World."

In other words, the two worlds will eventually merge into one.

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. Xiao Jin pondered for a moment, then continued, "Should we get rid of all the monsters in this world?"

In order to prevent the monsters of this world from threatening the people of Qingling Tianxia after the two worlds merge in the future.

I think Ninth Brother cares a lot about Qingling World.

“I think it’s a good idea!” Xiao Tu replied in agreement.

Just as the two were about to clean up the world, Zhu Chongjiu's voice rang out from the side.

"come back!"

Upon hearing this, although both Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu had questions, they ultimately did not make a move and returned to Qingling Tianxia as Zhu Chongjiu ordered.

When the group of children met Zhu Chongjiu, three of them were kneeling in front of him.

Three golden lights slowly drifted into the minds of the three people.

"Thank you, God, for bestowing upon me unparalleled magic!"

Three voices spoke to Zhu Chongjiu simultaneously, accompanied by the sound of kowtows.

"Alright, that's all for now, I'm leaving."

The three of you must remember what I have said.

After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu took out a whisk from his storage ring and continued:

"Daozhen, this is a treasure I'm giving to you."

And this….”

As he spoke, Zhu Chongjiu took out his great sword again.

He touched the blade of the great sword, and a phantom image of the same blade appeared before everyone.

A moment later, the illusory sword image transformed from an illusory image into a substantial one.

A sword just like the great sword appeared at this moment.

After handing the great sword to Daozhen, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "The Supreme Whisk and the Great Sword, although these two treasures are given to you, neither of you need to be envious."

Zhu Chongjiu glanced at "Yuanlai" and "Shuzhen" and continued, "These two treasures can only be considered as being entrusted to him for safekeeping."

One day, a destined person will come and take these two treasures away, allowing them to recognize their owner.

"We will obey God's command!" the three said in unison.

"Have you finished exploring?" Zhu Chongjiu and the others asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Tu, standing in front of the same open passage as before.

"Reporting to Ninth Brother, as you instructed, Xiao Jin and I have explored all the passages."

Apart from the world containing only a few monsters about to awaken their intelligence, the other passages are either lifeless, desolate worlds or worlds that have just begun to possess a trace of spiritual energy and are suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Moreover, these worlds only have one passage leading to the Pure Spirit World; there are no other passages.

And this passage in front of us, the one we usually travel through, has another passage in the world on the other side that leads to other places.

"Okay, let's go!"

As Zhu Chongjiu spoke, their figures, repeating this scene countless times, disappeared once again from the previous world.

However, just as Zhu Chongjiu's body completely entered the passage, a glimmer of spiritual light remained in this Pure Spirit World.

Flash floods, natural fires, tsunamis, earthquakes—the laws of nature collide with each other, time is disrupted, and space trembles.

Looking at the dilapidated world before him, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "No wonder the people of Qingling Tianxia didn't come here through this passage."

It seems there's no point in leaving this passage open, so let's seal it off for now.

I hope that one day in the future, you will be able to open it yourself.

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand behind him without turning his head.

They saw that the world passage they had just traversed was instantly sealed within it by an array.

This formation seals not just one end, but both ends, including the end of Qingling Tianxia.

At this moment, someone in the Qingling World was watching. The world passage that had been slowly rotating in the air day and night suddenly disappeared.

The location of the passageway was replaced by the same sky as the surrounding area.

If it weren't for the knowledge of our ancestors, how could there be any world passage here in the eyes of later generations?

Time flies, and another year has passed.

During that year, Zhu Chongjiu did many things that puzzled the children.

That is, after Zhu Chongjiu passes through a certain world, he will teach some people, or one or a few people, things that seem not very sophisticated to others.

Moreover, after leaving, Zhu Chongjiu will leave behind a trace of his true spirit in this world.

One day, Xiao Jin couldn't help but ask Zhu Chongjiu, "Brother Jiu, what are you doing?"

If it's good news, you should tell me, bro!

As soon as Xiao Jin finished asking the question, all eighteen ears of the nine people perked up.

"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to leave something behind."

Let's see if, years from now, another version of myself can use these things to rekindle or add new insights into the grand principles of life.

"Oh... so that's how it is."

But Ninth Brother, you can clearly transform into countless forms, so why do you insist on letting your little bit of spiritual light be reborn?

Moreover, with your current strength, you can already divide your mind into countless thoughts and use those countless thoughts to deduce the great truths for yourself.

Is it really necessary to do this?

After hearing this, Xiao Rou asked Zhu Chongjiu, puzzled.

"Xiao Rou, although I can now transform into millions of forms and countless forms with a single thought, these are all still me."

But my rebirth through a flash of inspiration is different; they can say it's me, or they can say it's not me.

Just like me now, and me at my parents' house right now.

We are all me, yet we are fundamentally different.

We are certainly a whole, but at this moment we are also two separate entities...

Well, this kind of thing can't be explained in just a sentence or two.

When we stop, I will share some of my insights into the Great Dao with you so that you can comprehend them.

Now I can feel the warmth of my hometown.

I feel that I am getting closer and closer to my hometown.
