Open up and break into another world

Severance Island.

Tens of thousands of Chaos Worlds congealed into a swirling grand formation, slowly rotating, as brilliant as a galaxy.

The place where the Island Master of Severance Island usually resides is a Chaos World shining like a diamond at the very core.

This Chaos World is said to be a treasure with extremely strong power; in terms of value, it is even higher than tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of ordinary Chaos Worlds!

If the Island Master of Severance Island were to activate this “Chaos World Treasure,” he could instantly mobilize the swirling grand formation formed by tens of thousands of Chaos Worlds, drawing on the power of the endless Chaos Void to defend against enemies!

Relying on this Chaos World Treasure, coupled with Severance Island's isolated location, they are able to dominate an area of ​​millions of realms, and no one dares to provoke them!

Three days later.

Xu Ming set foot on this Chaos World.

The moment his feet touched the ground of this world, Xu Ming felt his spirit lifted: “What a peculiar feeling! If I could cultivate in this Chaos World for a long time, my cultivation speed should improve quite a bit!”

Of course, Xu Ming was just thinking about it! Burying oneself in cultivation will only slowly wear away ambition and fighting spirit; only by constantly venturing out and comprehending the Dao through battle can one go further on the path of cultivation!

“You've arrived!” A very casual voice came from ahead.

At the same time, the immortal mist that originally surrounded Xu Ming gradually parted to both sides, revealing a path. At the end of the path, a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows was quietly brewing tea.

Two teacups were placed in front of the middle-aged man, one of which was prepared for Xu Ming!

“Greetings, Island Master!” Xu Ming cupped his hands from afar.

“Come and sit!” The middle-aged man was none other than the Island Master of Severance Island. Although his aura was exceptionally stern, his words were very amiable.

Xu Ming obeyed and walked over to sit down.

The Island Master of Severance Island brewed tea and asked Xu Ming some unimportant questions very calmly: “Have you been comfortable during your days on Severance Island?”

“Uh…” Xu Ming was a little speechless. He didn't expect the Island Master of Severance Island to ask such trivial questions, as if he was just trying to chat.

However, Xu Ming understood that this was likely a way for the Island Master of Severance Island to win people's hearts.

“It's not bad!” Xu Ming replied casually.

After three rounds of tea.

Suddenly, the Island Master of Severance Island's eyes became incomparably sharp, as if he wanted to see through all of Xu Ming's secrets: “Xu Ming, where did you come from?”

Although the Island Master of Severance Island did not deliberately use his aura to pressure Xu Ming, Xu Ming still felt immense pressure! After all, the Island Master of Severance Island was an existence “suspected to be at the Primordial Realm”; the gap between Xu Ming and him was like that between an ant and a giant dragon!

However, Xu Ming was not nervous and said truthfully: “I came from a very remote Chaos World. In that world, there wasn't even a Star Lord before! I obtained some opportunities, which is why I have achieved what I have today!”

“Hmm!” The Island Master of Severance Island retracted his stern expression and nodded lightly—the reason he used his aura to pressure Xu Ming was because he didn't want to hear Xu Ming tell lies. And now, what Xu Ming said was completely consistent with his guess!

“As expected, he's not from other forces!” The Island Master of Severance Island was secretly pleased.

Compared to geniuses from other forces, the Island Master of Severance Island preferred Xu Ming, this kind of “native.”

One reason is that the potential of “native geniuses” is higher—in the absence of training from major forces, they have achieved accomplishments no less than the geniuses of major forces; their talent and potential are obvious!

The second reason is that the loyalty of “native geniuses” is higher—because, if they were geniuses nurtured by other forces, even if the original force was not as good as Severance Island, such as being at the level of the “Bei Zhen Clan,” or even the weaker level of the “Abyssal Dragon Domain”; they would more or less be attached to their former force!

It is even possible that they value their original force more than Severance Island!

And Xu Ming being a “native genius” made the Island Master of Severance Island very happy!

If the Island Master of Severance Island knew that Xu Ming was a core disciple of the Azure Vault Gate, then the thing he would want to do most now would probably be to stomp Xu Ming to death.

Unfortunately, the Island Master of Severance Island didn't know.

“Have you ever solved the Heavenly Chess Game before?” The Island Master of Severance Island asked again.

“Yes!” Xu Ming said.

“How many rounds have you solved?”

“About thirty-eight thousand rounds!” Xu Ming casually reported a number of rounds.

“Oh?” The Island Master of Severance Island's eyes lit up immediately, “Your age is not even ten trillion years old! To be able to solve thirty-eight thousand rounds at such a young age is remarkable! Remarkable!”

The Island Master of Severance Island praised repeatedly.

Fortunately, the Island Master of Severance Island didn't know that Xu Ming's real age was a trillion times younger than he imagined! He didn't even know that the true number of rounds Xu Ming solved was not thirty-eight thousand, but… all 103,600 rounds!

But even so, it had already made the Island Master of Severance Island very cherish a genius like Xu Ming!

“Xu Ming, I'm not deceiving you!” The Island Master of Severance Island said directly, “With your talent, even joining a force larger than our Severance Island would not be difficult! However, even if you go to other larger forces, it is definitely not as good as staying on Severance Island!”

“Oh?” Xu Ming put down his teacup and looked at the Island Master of Severance Island with some doubt.

However, Xu Ming understood very well in his heart; the reason why the Island Master of Severance Island said this to him was probably to “brainwash” him, gain his loyalty, and make him stay on Severance Island forever.

However, the Island Master of Severance Island didn't know that even if he said it as beautifully as possible, it was impossible for Xu Ming to stay on Severance Island forever. Not to mention anything else, just the identity of “Azure Vault Gate Golden-Robed Disciple” was probably more noble than his identity as “Island Master of Severance Island”!

“Why is that?” But on the surface, Xu Ming still looked like he was listening attentively.

“Because…” The Island Master of Severance Island said with incomparable confidence, “Severance Island can give you much better growth conditions than other forces!”

The Island Master of Severance Island paused and continued, “If you join those larger forces, you may not necessarily become their core disciple; in terms of cultivation resources, you will not be able to receive devoted training! Moreover… in terms of cultivation techniques and secret skills, our Severance Island is definitely much stronger than other forces!”

More cultivation resources and stronger cultivation techniques and secret skills; the Island Master of Severance Island didn't believe that Xu Ming wouldn't wholeheartedly stay on Severance Island!

“Don't look down on Severance Island now that it's only a third-grade force! Back then, when our Severance Island was at its peak, it used to be a fifth-grade force!”
