Reon halted just before his door, attuo the sound of approag footsteps.
A flicker of uainty coursed through him, gnawing at his thoughts.
Were they allies? Or were they his enemies?
However, refleg upon the unfamiliar body he now inhabited, he could resolutely clude that they were, without a doubt, his foes.
He closed his eyes for a brief moment, the weight of his battered body reminding him just how vulnerable he was.
The pain that had once felt unbearable now seemed to pale in parison to the looming threat that approached.
He knew—khat if a fight were to break out, the only oute he could foresee was one word, eg relentlessly in his mind: Death.
No. Calm dowold himself, willing his heart to slow.
It’s not time yet.
In the novel, Xue Taiyang, the body he now inhabited, had suffered grievous injuries after beied by the protagonist—but he had survived.
A week, Reon thought, just a week... theh would cim him.
However, this did not preclude the grim possibility of enduri another brutal beating.
Yet, as he searched his memory, he found no recolle of Xue Taiyang beien again after his defeat at the hands of Yang Lie in the novel.
Well, he had merely been a subordio a third-rate antagonist. Perhaps the novel had chosen to overlook this detail entirely.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Reon cautiously pushed open the door.
The sight before him struck him like a wave of awe.
The Immortal World—so vast, so beautiful, a so terrifying in its magnifice.
T mountains floated gracefully in the sky, defying gravity, their peaks bathed in ahereal glow that shimmered like liquid light.
Below, the ndscape spread out like a vivid dream: Lush Forests, Meandering Rivers, and Mystical Creatures—some flying with grace, others slithering across the ground.
The air itself felt different—charged with spiritual energy, a potent force that seemed to defy the very ws of nature.
Reon couldn’t help but feel insignifit in the face of a world that was both overwhelmingly strange and eerily familiar.
He was in a realm of supernatural forces—a world where strength was the ultimate currency, and weakness had no pce.
As his gaze wandered, it soon fell upon three young men approag him.
Their robes bore the distinctive insignia of the Supreme Dao Sect, and their youthful faces and fident strides suggested that they, too, were disciples like him.
Renowned as one of the Top Four Overlord sects on the Sleeping Dragon ti, the Supreme Dao Sect is situated in the Eastern Province of this illustrious realm.
The dominion of the Sleeping Dragon ti is presided over by four emi sects over thousands of years.
These are the Azura Drago, the Supreme Dao Sect, the Yellow Shaolin Temple, and the Great Demonic Sect.
Reon observed the trio of approag boys, their attire suggesting they were mere outer sect disciples.
He pohe perplexing circumstance of how sudividuals had mao traverse into the Inner Sect.
Outer sect disciples are strictly prohibited from entering the Inner Sect.
However, Inner Sect disciples have the freedom to access the Outer Sect, although they are barred from entering the Core Sect, where the esteemed Core disciples of the Supreme Dao Sect reside.
A chilliion flickered in his mind as he turo gnce back at the dwelling, which he reized as belonging to an Outer sect disciple—specifically, one named Xu Yang.
This implied that he currently resided within the fines of the outer sect, taking refuge in the abode of another rather than inhabiting the dwelling of the body he now possessed.
If his memory served him correctly, the body he inhabited, Xue Taiyang, had a notorious reputation for tormenting the outer sect disciples.
Were they now gathered to exact their long-anticipated retribution?.
The trio of outer disciples halted before him, with oepping forward more assertively.
"Ah, Xue Taiyang, the insufferably arrogant sdrel! You once abused your status to torment us, but now that you've fallen from the inner sect, it's our turn to settle the score," one of the boys sneered.
"Haha! This time, we'll teach you a lesson you'll never fet," another chimed in, his grin filled with malice.
Just as expected—his luck couldn’t be that good. Sooner or ter, trouble was bound to find him.
"Identify"
Reon activated his skill to access their status interface, deeming it the opportune moment to scrutihis ability.
[Name: Lu Nian.
Cultivation Realm: Stage-4 Qi-Refining Realm.]
Stage-4 Qi Refining Realm... quite average, even for an outer sect disciple.
Even the Servant Disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect are of Low Stage Qi-Refining Realm.
Hardly a threat.
He g the two figures behind him, but as he activated his skill on them, something peculiar occurred.
[Name: Wei Xiyan.
Cultivation Realm: Stage-5 Qi-Refining Realm.]
[The "Identify" skill was uo ascertaiatus of the target, resulting in an unfortunate malfun]
Reon’s brow furrowed.
What?
The skill had failed—on an outer sect disciple?
His pulse quied. There was only one expnation: One of them is five stages higher thaaiyang.
The Identify skill was desigo show the status of cultivators five stages higher than the user, but it had faltered. That could only meahing.
Reon turhe skill inward, activating it on himself—oaiyang.
