Yang Jian coughed, and the Howling Celestial Dog wagged its tail and ran up to his side, looking quite concerned.

Ye Zichen put down his iced soda and pounded Yang Jian on the back. You okay?

Im fine. Yang Jian shook his head and rasped, I was just thinking about that monkey. He must be out of his mind by now! I couldnt help but laugh, but then I choked on my soda.

After a few more coughs, Yang Jian seemed to feel better. He took a few sips of his drink.

When he saw that Ye Zichen had so much as to open his sodas, Yang Jian couldnt help but ask, Why arent you drinking?

I dont really want to.

Although Ye Zichens Modern Realm was still sealed in ice, the Heavenly Court had already started producing products from the Modern Realm en masse. Naturally, he could go through the Red Packet Server and have them send him anything he wanted.

But he was rather curious as to how Yang Jian had gotten his hands on soda. After all, Yang Jian had only just found out about their new extended network.

Who exactly had sent him coca cola? Where had he gotten it?

Ye Zichen wanted to ask, but he was even more curious about the Supreme Treasure.

What is that treasure you mentioned to the Great Sage? Why did he get so agitated about it?

You dont know, huh? said Yang Jian, feigning an elegant air. He leaned into his chair and laughed, Its a treasure from before his Journey to the West with Xuanzang. Let me tell you, its a shocking tale!

Yang Jians expression seemed to say, You want to know? I can tell you, then.

Ye Zichen, however, simply narrowed his eyes.

Hed heard of the Journey to the Wests Supreme Treasure, or rather, the Supreme Treasure in the events leading up to it. That was a tale of love and hate with the Fairy Zixia.

Looking at Yang Jians face and his eagerness to gossip, Ye Zichen was stunned. You didnt run into Fairy Zixia, did you?

Yang Jians smile instantly froze, replaced with intense disbelief. How do you know about that? Then do you know about the Supreme Treasure too?

No way! I was just guessing randomly. Was I actually right?

Youre right, although I didnt actually meet Zixia. I just heard a bit of news regarding her. That monkey must have understood that too, otherwise, why would he freak out like that? Yang Jian nodded.

Zixia really did exist!

Ye Zichen blinked. He didnt quite have the words to describe his emotions. To tell the truth, before he first joined the Red Packet Server, he was a die-hard atheist.

Hed always thought classics like The Journey to the West were mere fabrications. At least, thats what hed thought until he first encountered immortals and gods.

Now he believed it!

Still, hed assumed that even if Sun Wukong really existed, much of the Journey to the West had to be fiction. Hed thought that Zixia, at least, wasnt real.

He had no choice but to believe it! She existed too!

He felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. Why were all of these seemingly ludicrous fairy tales and myths real, down to the letter? Whether it was the characters or the events, all of them were absolutely real.

The only possibility was that someone who knew about them described the events to others, who wrote them down.

If thats true, thats a bit scary, isnt it? Ye Zichen rubbed his lips, his eyes full of shock.

He hadnt realized this before, but the more he thought about it, the scarier it seemed. If all of these ancient legends were real, someone must have intentionally revealed them to the public.

He didnt want to think about this anymore. If he did, he knew hed have trouble sleeping at night.

Yang Jians cell phone buzzed non-stop. Ye Zichen couldnt help but point to it. Are you sure you want to just ignore the Great Sage? Im sure you know his temper.

Am I afraid of him? Im the special emissary of the Outside! That monkey whaled on me many a time. Now, Im going to ignore him for a bit and make him reflect on his actions, snorted Yang Jian.

Alright then. The two of them were old rivals, so Ye Zichen didnt want to get between them.

At that moment, Yang Jians medallion flashed. Yang Jian looked at it and frowned. They wont even give me time to catch up with an old friend.

He tossed the medallion into the air, then rose to his feet. Lets go!

Ye Zichen said nothing. He simply looked at Yang Jian in confusion.

The people of the Outside want to meet you. I actually came here to bring you to see them at their request, said Yang Jian.

They want to see me? Ye Zichen said in astonishment.

Hed never met anyone from the Outside, had he? Why would they come looking for him out of the blue?

Hed heard that the Outsiders were the only faction to have truly transcended the Laws. Based on the way the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors had treated Yang Jian, even the overlords of their respective realms treated the Emissary with respect, calling him Brother.

From this, it was obvious how high the Outsides status was.

Why would such a faction come looking for him? He wasnt even a diviner yet!

Dont look at me like that. I dont know what they want with you either, said Yang Jian.

Can I refuse? asked Ye Zichen.

What do you think? Yang Jian asked in return.

When he heard that, Ye Zichen gave up any thoughts of resisting. Even people like the God Emperor feared the Outside. If they wanted to see him, there was nothing he could do about it.

But I can guarantee that they wont hurt you even if I dont know why they want to see you, said Yang Jian, picking up on Ye Zichens anxiety.

Ye Zichen didnt trust the Outside, but he had absolute faith in Yang Jian.

Yang Jian had said all that, so there was no need for Ye Zichen to hesitate. He nodded. Lets go, then.

A chaotic void.

Yang Jian led Ye Zichen by shoulder into this chaotic space.

There were nothing but black holes as far as the eye could see.

Theyd only just arrived, but Ye Zichen had already seen hundreds of black holes. Hed even watched one larger black hole swallow up a smaller one.

Fortunately, with Yang Jians protection, Ye Zichen didnt sense any suction at all.

Are we here? Ye Zichen looked around and couldnt help but ask.

Yang Jian shook his head, his expression suddenly serious. He pounded Ye Zichens shoulders and said gravely, Well reach the Outside soon. I stopped here because theres something I should warn you about first.

Go on!

Yang Jian wanted to talk, but paused, his eyes full of hesitation. After a while, he sighed, then continued, When you get to the Outside, what you see might confuse you, shock you, or even make you feel like your worldview is crumbling around you. I hope that you can keep a hold of yourself. The first time I visited, I was bewildered too. Thats why Id like to warn you in advance so that you can mentally prepare yourself.

What are you talking about?

What Im saying is, prepare yourself. As for what exactly Im talking about, youll find out soon!
