Transcending the Nine Heavens

Now, the Law Sovereign is still hiding from Wuzhuo City, so how could he dare to approach?

At least… before that divine skill is accomplished, when the Law Sovereign sees Wuzhuo City, he can only hide as far away as possible.

Moreover, it is said that Wuzhuo City’s master and disciple headed northwest, and the Law Sovereign had originally planned to rush there personally to have a look, but he dispelled that idea.

This time, when Wuzhuo City came out, according to Fengyue and the others' speculations, he must have intended to settle scores with the Law Sovereign. However… unexpectedly, Wuzhuo City actually had no such intention.

He was wholeheartedly focused on teaching his disciple.

As for the deception and betrayal from the Law Sovereign in the past, it seemed he wasn’t taking it to heart at all…

If such a mindset were to spread, those who knew the situation at the time would probably find it unbelievable: is this really Wuzhuo City?

"You don't know my happiness!" Wuzhuo City silently said in his heart. Watching a talented young genius gradually shine with brilliance that astonished the Nine Heavens under his guidance… this sense of achievement is worth more than killing a thousand Law Sovereigns!

…

Now, let's not mention the master and disciple heading northwest.

Just talking about Chu Imperial Seat, who is still trapped underground, at this moment, he is in a dire situation.

In the blink of an eye, he has been underground for a month, working around the clock!

Calculating the distance, he has probably dug out over four thousand miles.

However, for safety's sake, Chu Yang decided to dig a little more: after all, he's already been underground for a month; what's the difference in staying another month?

If he goes out now, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and that would truly not be worth it.

Chu Yang's endurance has been fully displayed during this month underground!

His resilience shocked the eight old fellows who had lived for over a thousand years.

A normal person could not possibly stay in such a damp, sunless place for a month while continuously working at high intensity; even those eight couldn’t endure it.

But during this time, only Chu Yang managed to make this month of darkness and despair quite enjoyable!

Whether it was pranks, jokes, or pretending to be profound to comfort others and then suddenly laugh out loud saying they were fooled…

Or tempting them with food, or luring them with fine wine, or…

Frequently, the day before, he would announce that there were no rations left. Only enough for the last day. After that, everyone would have to starve.

So everyone cherished the evening's food immensely.

But the next day, when everyone prepared to look for something to eat underground, such as worms...

Chu Yang would stand by, sighing one after another.

When everyone managed to dig out a few worms and looked at the wriggling creatures, imagining they would have to eat them raw and gagging… Chu Yang would suddenly discover something new and say, "By the way, I didn’t finish what I said yesterday… the rations are gone, that’s for sure. However… I still have some meat… and it’s already cooked…”

At that moment, everyone nearly wanted to tear the devilish smile off his face and use it to wipe their butts.

After a few days of drinking fine wine, it finally ran out.

Watching Chu Yang throw out a dozen wine jars, everyone finally despaired. It was really gone…

But in the evening, when everyone silently prepared to eat, Chu Yang would sigh and say, "What a pity… the wine is gone…”

Everyone remained silent.

"Ah, I originally thought it would last until we got out, but it wasn’t enough. I miscalculated…”

Everyone still didn’t respond.

"Alas, there are a few better jars left in my ring, which I planned to keep for myself to drink secretly when we got out… Looks like that won’t work…”

At that moment, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Do you want to drink?" At that time, Chu Yang’s eyes sparkled with mischief.
