Inside the Celestial Mirror Pavilion, the six Supreme Elders stood in silence.
Zero, the new Sect Master, sat upon the Throne of Chaos, his gaze calm and sharp.
Today marked the next step - sending Chaos back into the world.
Choosing the First Envoy
Zero reviewed dozens of names — elite disciples, brilliant but hidden talents, loyal and patient.
But one name kept returning.
| "Xue Long."
A half-human, half-beast young man — abandoned by the world, born with a Void Serpent bloodline, silent but brutal, loyal without question.
He had no master, no backing, and yet had broken through to the 8th Level of Foundation Stage on his
own.
"Bring him," Zero commanded.
Moments later, a tall youth with pale silver eyes and a long scar across his chest knelt before the throne.
"Xue Long," Zero said, "will you walk the world... as my Envoy?"
The youth lowered his head, voice trembling.
"Even if the realms burn, I'll carry your name,
Master."
Zero smiled faintly and handed him a jade token.

"Go to the Frostgate City first. Watch. Listen. Wait for my signal."
Arya Kapoor - The Chase Begins
In Frostgate City, Arya Kapoor leaned against the edge of a rooftop, her cloak fluttering in the wind.
She had been following a mysterious hooded man for three days.
"He's not a normal cultivator. He hides in plain sight... like he doesn't exist."
What she didn't know was — he was a Chaos Shadow
Agent. One of Silent Echo's disciples.
That night, the agent entered a sealed building - but the door left behind a faint chaos rune.
Arya's eyes narrowed.
"What are you planning, mystery sect?"
She pressed her palm to the seal - and it vanished.
"Too easy... like someone wants me to follow."
* Asha Rani's Mission Begins
Back in the Ice Phoenix Sect, Asha Rani bowed before her master — the Ice Phoenix herself.
"Asha," the divine being said, "you've reached the peak of Foundation Realm.
You must now see the world."
"You'll travel to the Western Sky Region. There's a corrupted glacier leaking fire qi. Investigate."
Asha bowed.
"Yes, Master."
"Also..." the Ice Phoenix whispered, "do not ignore the chaos winds.
Something has awakened. You may feel it near the border."
Asha looked up, confused.
But deep inside, her heart stirred.
Zero... are you near?
Zero's Strategy
Later that night, in the Silent Moon Chamber, Zero stood with the Supreme Elders.
A massive map of the Heavenly Pearl World was projected using spirit stones.
"Within 30 days," he said, "we'll have Chaos presence in every major city."
Xue Long as the first Chaos Envoy. Shadow agents spread through markets and sects. Auction hall roots growing. Pill and Weapon sales disguised under minor merchant names. Arrays forming teleportation circles to hidden
Chaos Outposts.
The sect moved like a ghost - unseen, unstoppable.
