"Master Sang, what do you think?" Ji Wusi looked at Sang Fan, and the others all turned their attention to him.
Sang Fan's forehead was dotted with fine sweat. "I… what happens if I don't agree?"
Ji Wusi let out a cold laugh. "Then we'll just have to find a Beastmaster Sect Master who's willing."
Sang Fan froze.
Yun Jin smiled faintly. "Master Sang, you don't need to worry too much. In five years, the Immortal Emperor will have their schemes. You can refuse, but if something goes wrong, I won't be able to help. After all, dispersing Luck and weakening the bond with the Immortal Artifact might be your only chance. If you insist on going your own way… I can't save you then."
Sang Fan's expression flickered from doubt to unease.
After a long moment, he said slowly, "I… I agree."
He still trusted Yun Jin's character. He'd just been a little unwilling before.
But Yun Jin reminded him that no matter how unwilling he felt, survival mattered more. In five years, they'd be facing five Immortal Emperors. If humanity had any chance at all, it would definitely rely on Yun Jin.
"Master Sang really understands righteousness," Yun Jin said gently. "Over the next five years, I'll be in seclusion. I ask all of you to try your best to strengthen the entire region and prepare for the calamity that comes in five years."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yun Jin gave a few more instructions before they finally exited the Divine Soul space.
Back at Wushuang Sect, Yun Jin pondered silently.
These five years…
If she stayed in this small world, her strength wouldn't rise much further.
In this third-level small world, her spiritual power had already reached its peak.
Moreover, this small world's rules stream contained the full Five Elements Primordial Force, which made her comprehension smooth.
But…
Most of the other Primordial Forces were incomplete.
To quickly grasp the other forces, she'd have to visit other small worlds.
Ideally, she'd also find a way for Wushuang Sect disciples to explore the three thousand small worlds and learn different rules.
Only then, by gathering the laws into herself, could her strength rise dramatically.
Currently, she had the coordinates for the Polar Night Demon World. That place she definitely had to visit.
But she needed to open a few more small worlds as well. Only by combining the advantages of different small worlds could Wushuang Sect disciples grow quickly enough to face the great calamity in five years.
Since she didn't plan to appear in public over these five years, she had to figure out a way to expand her small world network.
Yun Jin opened the Mission Hall interface.
The map of this small world was fully revealed, and Wushuang Sect disciples had explored every corner. They needed a bigger stage.
Outside the known map, a black area had appeared.
That was the Polar Night Demon World.
It was far too dangerous. The map was unlocked, but Yun Jin didn't synchronize the mission with the hall. She didn't want disciples exposed to such a high-level map.
Even though they could traverse space with spatial power, there might be top-tier beings in that world who could seal space. Once space was sealed, their spatial powers wouldn't work, and the disciples would be in danger.
The Polar Night Demon World wasn't suitable for disciple training.
What about the other small worlds? Were there any suitable for disciples to cultivate in?
Yun Jin asked the system, "Can we actively search for other small world coordinates?"
The system's cold voice replied, [Yes. One search costs ten billion Emotional Value, and success is not guaranteed.]
Yun Jin went silent immediately.
Ten billion Emotional Value, and no guarantee of success!
From her understanding of the system, saying that clearly meant the success rate was low. One search cost ten billion Emotional Value. If she failed several times in a row… would she even survive?
Yun Jin gritted her teeth. "Let's try once and see your ability."
She dared to gamble because her Luck was currently overflowing. Theoretically, anything related to Luck had a high chance of success.
Next… it would depend on whether her luck was better or if the system was just stubborn.
The system deducted ten billion Emotional Value and began searching diligently.
Yun Jin stared at the slowly moving progress bar, her tension rising.
Would it work? This was ten billion Emotional Value—she couldn't just waste it.
She silently prayed. When the progress bar reached halfway, it suddenly stopped.
Yun Jin panicked. "What's going on? Keep moving!"
It had barely gone halfway. Wasn't this too cruel?
The next moment, the progress bar vanished.
Yun Jin was still stunned when the system's voice spoke again. [Small world entrance discovered. Merge with this entrance?]
Her pupils constricted.
A small world entrance discovered? What did that mean?
"Mark the entrance location," she commanded.
The map unfolded, revealing a small red dot.
Yun Jin's expression shifted into slight surprise.
It was… this place.
Of course!
She'd completely forgotten to check this spot.
In an instant, Yun Jin vanished from her location and reappeared in front of Wushuang Sect's main gate.
The sun shone brightly. Yun Jin looked up at the gate.
When she first entered Wushuang Sect's secret realm, An Tong had introduced it.
The gate was called the Enlightenment Gate, a spiritual treasure.
The characters "Wushuang Sect" were etched on the gate in flowing script.
Some said that behind these characters lay an invincible secret.
But over all these years, no one had discovered it.
At the time, Yun Jin had tried to scan it with the system, but her cultivation was too low. The system said only those at Tribulation stage or above could attempt to understand its mysteries.
Later, she'd been too busy to notice the secret at her own doorstep. According to the map marker, this place was the small world entrance the system mentioned.
Staring at the golden characters, Yun Jin felt a little dazed. Who would have thought?
Behind this gate was the entrance to a small world!
Curiosity spiking, she ordered the system to scan the gate. This time, after deducting some Emotional Value, the system gave a complete explanation.
[One hundred thousand years ago, a peerless prodigy was born in this world with a natural spatial constitution. He reached the threshold of the Law of Space early on, then devoted himself entirely to the spatial path. Yet he found the Primordial Force here too small to support a master of spatial cultivation. He entered seclusion for a thousand years and developed a method to open outer-dimensional space. Later, by accident, he entered a second-level small world: the Illusory World. There, the Law of Space was fully realized, and he truly stepped onto the threshold of the spatial path.
Afterward, he returned to this world. Before ascending, he founded Wushuang Sect, leaving this gate that held the coordinates of the small world.
Entry into the Illusory World requires a spatial constitution. Such a constitution is rare; in the past hundred thousand years, only two have appeared: the Void Daoist who left this gate, and the Wan Dao Saint.]
Yun Jin's pupils tightened slightly.
She suddenly understood.
So…
Her Master, Wan Dao Saint, had likely entered the Illusory World.
That world was higher-level, with more complete Laws. No wonder Master Wan Dao was far stronger than everyone else.
