### Chapter 1861 — The Approaching Presence
The ruined training grounds remained silent beneath the storm-filled sky.
Cold wind swept through the broken buildings.
The seven quietly sat on their wooden chairs.
Yang Lin's eyes never left the direction of the Central Ancient Forest.
After several breaths—
he smiled faintly.
"Cui Ye."
"Lui Yi."
"An Ancient Ghost is coming this way."
Cui Ye immediately stood.
His expression turned serious.
"I can feel it now."
Lui Yi slowly rose from her chair.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed toward the darkness.
"So fast..."
Yang Lin calmly turned toward Su Liyulu.
"Su Liyulu."
"Test him."
Su Liyulu gracefully stood.
"As you wish."
Whoosh—
She disappeared.
A black shadow emerged from the forest.
Dark ghostly qi surrounded his body.
His pale face remained expressionless.
He carried a long black spear.
His eyes immediately met Su Liyulu's.
The Ancient Ghost's name was—
Mo Han.
Far away—
inside Heaven Cutter Sect—
Zhao Feng suddenly looked toward the distant horizon.
"So..."
"An Ancient Ghost finally showed up in the middle of the night."
Gu Tian folded his arms.
"It seems Sect Master predicted everything."

### Chapter 1862 — A Test
The ruined Crimson Cloud Sect remained silent.
Xue Yao quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
"Are they planning something?"
Yang Lin nodded calmly.
"I think..."
"...they're testing us."
"They sensed..."
"Su Liyulu is also at Immortal Sovereign Third Stage Peak."
"So..."
"...they only sent one Ancient Ghost."
Everyone understood immediately.
Cui Ye frowned.
"They're observing us."
Lui Yi crossed her arms.
"They don't want to reveal all of their strength."
Qin Mo's cheerful expression disappeared.
"So they aren't reckless."
Shen Rui slowly nodded.
"They're careful opponents."
Xue Yao's beautiful brows remained slightly furrowed.
Her gaze never left the battlefield.

### Chapter 1863 — Effortless Victory
Boom!
Mo Han thrust his spear.
Dark ghostly qi exploded.
Su Liyulu merely lifted one hand.
Bang!
The spear flew away.
Another strike.
Boom!
Mo Han crashed through several ruined walls.
Before he could recover—
Su Liyulu appeared before him.
A single finger touched his shoulder.
His cultivation instantly became sealed.
Within only a few breaths—
the battle ended.
Su Liyulu calmly grabbed him by the collar.
She returned before Yang Lin.
Looking at him she asked,
"Shall I kill him?"
Yang Lin gently shook his head.
"No."
"Bring him here."
"I have questions."

### Chapter 1864 — Silence
Mo Han was thrown before Yang Lin.
He knelt on one knee.
Yang Lin slowly stood.
Xue Yao stood beside him.
Cui Ye stood calmly.
Lui Yi also stood.
Qin Mo and Shen Rui followed.
Su Liyulu remained behind Mo Han.
Yang Lin calmly asked,
"What are you planning?"
Mo Han remained silent.
His face showed only stubbornness.
Cui Ye snorted.
"Still refusing to speak?"
"How arrogant."
Lui Yi's expression turned cold.
"Just kill him."
"No need to keep someone this stubborn."
The moment those words fell—
Mo Han's face turned pale.
His body trembled.
"I'll speak!"
"I'll speak!"
Yang Lin looked at him calmly.
"Good."
"Bring your leader to me."
"Otherwise..."
Yang Lin stopped speaking.
Silence filled the ruins.
Everyone already knew what Yang Lin was about to say.
If Mo Han refused—
the entire Central Ancient Forest of the Inner Upper Realm would likely disappear.
Even Cui Ye became silent.
Lui Yi quietly swallowed.

### Chapter 1865 — Fear
Far away—
inside Heaven Cutter Sect—
Zhao Feng suddenly shivered.
He looked toward Gu Tian.
"Yang Lin..."
"Surely..."
"...he isn't thinking about using that move again?"
Gu Tian smiled bitterly.
"I hope not."
Back at the ruined sect—
Xue Yao quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
"So..."
"That mysterious move..."
"...was also the one that killed several Universe Kings..."
"...and Immortal King Realm experts..."
"...and even cut Su Liyulu's Dao Chains as though they were nothing."
Su Liyulu remained calm.
Yet—
a trace of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
She had always believed—
that terrifying move could destroy far more than Universe Kings or Immortal King Realm cultivators.
Yang Lin calmly looked at Mo Han.
"It depends..."
"...on your answer."
Mo Han hurriedly nodded.
"Fine!"
"I'll tell you!"
"Just don't kill me!"
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"I don't want to kill you."
"But..."
"You will bring your leader."
"Understood?"
Mo Han nodded repeatedly.

### Chapter 1866 — The Truth
Mo Han took a deep breath.
"What we want..."
"...is peace."
"But many cultivators entered our forest."
"They disturbed us."
"They hunted us."
"So..."
"We destroyed this sect."
Everyone quietly listened.
Yang Lin calmly asked,
"Was it this sect..."
"...that disturbed your peace?"
Before Mo Han could answer—
a cold, beautiful voice echoed through the night.
"They tried to destroy my people."
"So I destroyed them."
"So what?"
Everyone immediately looked toward the sky.

### Chapter 1867 — Baiyu
A graceful woman slowly descended from the clouds.
Long snow-white hair flowed behind her.
Her flawless jade-like skin reflected the moonlight.
She wore elegant white robes.
In her hands rested an ancient emerald jade pipa.
Green immortal qi quietly flowed around the instrument.
Her beautiful face remained calm.
Yet her cold eyes contained countless years of loneliness.
Xue Yao narrowed her eyes.
"Who are you?"
Su Liyulu stepped forward.
"Be careful."
"She's as powerful as I am."
Mo Han immediately escaped from Su Liyulu and hurried toward the woman.
"Leader!"
"Help me!"
"These people are dangerous!"
Far away—
inside Heaven Cutter Sect—
Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.
"So that's why Sect Master spared him."
Gu Tian nodded.
"He knew their leader would appear."
Yang Lin calmly looked toward Baiyu.
The woman asked,
"Are you their leader?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"Yes."
"But how did you know?"
Her cold gaze softened slightly.
She stepped closer.
Yang Lin stood.
Xue Yao stood beside him.
Cui Ye.
Lui Yi.
Qin Mo.
Shen Rui.
Su Liyulu.
All stood as well.
Yang Lin calmly raised one hand.
"Stay right there."
Baiyu stopped.
She held her emerald jade pipa lightly.
Green immortal qi flowed around her.
She was ready to attack at any moment.
Then she calmly spoke.
"I heard..."
"...you're planning to travel to the World of Cultivation."
"Take me."
"And my people."
"I'll follow you from today onward."
Everyone froze.
Xue Yao blinked once.
Cui Ye looked surprised.
Lui Yi's beautiful eyes widened.
Qin Mo scratched his head in disbelief.
Shen Rui could only smile awkwardly.
Su Liyulu quietly observed Baiyu.
Yang Lin calmly asked,
"What do you mean?"
"And..."
"How did you know?"
Baiyu replied,
"Five Immortal Sovereigns stand beside you."
"You must have a way."
"The World of Cultivation..."
"...is unimaginably far away."
"Only you seem to know how to reach it."
Yang Lin smiled faintly.
"The wounded disciple who escaped earlier..."
"...was your spy."
For the first time—
surprise appeared on Baiyu's face.
"...How did you know?"
Yang Lin answered calmly.
"When you destroyed the sect..."
"...no disciple should have survived."
"So..."
"...the survivor had to belong to you."
Baiyu smiled helplessly.
"You truly are clever."
She then asked,
"If you knew..."
"...why didn't you expose him?"
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"Why would I?"
"My Heaven Cutter Sect already knows the truth."
"I've explained the scale of existence."
"About **The Space**."
"About the googolplex light-year distance to **The Space Xia**."
"And that the World of Cultivation is only the size of a large Universal Globic Cluster."
"The rumors have already spread."
"So everyone has likely heard it."
Baiyu slowly stepped back.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"So..."
"The rumors were true."
"This place..."
"...really is only a fragment."
Yang Lin nodded.
"Follow me."
"You'll learn much more."

### Chapter 1868 — New people
Baiyu looked at Yang Lin.
"My name..."
"...is Baiyu."
Yang Lin smiled.
"Good name."
He pointed toward Mo Han.
"Who is he?"
Baiyu answered,
"My disciple."
Yang Lin nodded.
"So..."
"Other than you..."
"...all Ancient Ghosts are really at Immortal Sovereign Third Stage Peak?"
Baiyu nodded.
"That's right."
"I also felt Shuiluo Sha's divine sense."
"It surprised me."
"To find an old friend..."
"...inside the Inner Upper Realm."
"I'm only at Immortal Sovereign Third Stage Peak..."
"...because I'm heavily wounded."
Yang Lin calmly replied,
"So..."
"Your true cultivation..."
"...is twelve major realms above Immortal Venerable Realm."
Baiyu's calm expression immediately changed.
Shock flashed across her face.
After a few moments—
she regained her composure.
She looked deeply at Yang Lin.
"So..."
"Can my people follow you?"
Yang Lin smiled.
"You can."
"The more people..."
"...the better."
"But..."
"How many?"
Everyone looked toward Baiyu.
She smiled gently.
"Only three."
Then she softly called,
"Xu Yi."
Whoosh—
A young Ancient Ghost woman appeared.
She respectfully bowed.
Her cultivation was also at Immortal Sovereign Third Stage Peak.
Yang Lin pointed toward Mo Han.
Then toward Xu Yi.
"They're both your disciples?"
Baiyu nodded.
"Yes."
"They're my disciples."
"They won't cause trouble."
Mo Han and Xu Yi looked extremely nervous.
They carefully stood behind Baiyu.
Yang Lin nodded.
"Alright."
"Let's head back."
Everyone's tense expressions finally relaxed.
Yang Lin waved his sleeve.
The seven wooden chairs instantly disappeared—
as though they had never existed.
The group rose into the sky.
Below them—
countless cultivation sects stood among endless mountain ranges.
Ancient pavilions rested upon towering peaks.
Immortal rivers shimmered beneath drifting clouds.
Floating mountains stretched across the distant horizon.
The blue sky gradually brightened as dawn approached.
Within only a few moments—
the magnificent Heaven Cutter Sect appeared before everyone.
Its countless cultivation pavilions stood proudly upon floating mountains beneath the clear blue sky.
Together—
Yang Lin, Xue Yao, Su Liyulu, Baiyu, Mo Han, Xu Yi, Cui Ye, Lui Yi, Qin Mo, and Shen Rui descended toward the Heaven Cutter Sect.
