The Mountain Ghosts struggle to contain the increasingly powerful Thousand Calamities Lord, fearing disaster if he breaks free. They reveal that external ghosts and gods are growing unruly and only the Thousand Calamities Lord could defeat them. Xu Zimei accepts a mysterious crystal from Mighty Mountain Ghost in exchange for his help. The Thousand Calamities Lord breaks free, revealing a mutated, semi-god, semi-demon form. Xu Zimei easily subdues him and discovers an unknown, non-native worm within his body.

This insect is full of aggression. Despite their brief encounter, Xu Zimei could feel the violent aura emanating from its body.

An insect that leaves even a Comprehender of the Dao helpless, and could almost herald the destruction of the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

If the issue with the Thousand Calamities Doomsday is not resolved and continues in this manner, it could very well come to an end.

It is important to know that this insect residing within the Thousand Calamities Doomsday might be devouring its Divine Soul.

Yet, the power of the Thousand Calamities Doomsday is immense, and its Divine Soul is not easily consumed.

Thus, in the clash of these two forces, the Thousand Calamities Doomsday, being at a disadvantage, suffered from its Divine Soul being wounded, resulting in its current state of madness and loss of reason.

This is quite thought-provoking.

To realize that the Thousand Calamities Doomsday's Divine Soul was suppressed by an insect.

Frankly, it is an unprecedented situation.

When Xu Zimei's Demonic Qi surged into its body, it temporarily severed the force sealing the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

Only with the power sealed can the entity calm down.

Of course, such a sealing cannot last forever, as frequent impacts from the Thousand Calamities Doomsday could potentially break the seal.

......

As waves of Demonic Qi enveloped,

the once violently struggling Thousand Calamities Doomsday gradually settled down.

Xu Zimei withdrew his right hand.

The nine Mountain Ghosts hurried over to support the body of the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

"Thank you, sir, for resolving this predicament for us," the nine Mountain Ghosts hastily expressed their gratitude.

In their hearts, they felt an even greater dread and reverence towards Xu Zimei's power.

After all, he had effortlessly resolved a long-standing issue for them.

......

"His issue is of no concern in the short term, but to cure it completely and awaken him,

we need to eradicate the insect within his body," Xu Zimei stated calmly.

After all, for a Comprehender of the Dao, even if the Divine Soul is wounded, it can recover on its own.

But presently, the main problem is that the insect is opposing the Thousand Calamities Doomsday, inflicting continuous damage to the Divine Soul, leaving no chance for self-healing.

Previously, Xu Zimei attempted to intervene with external force.

This insect is extremely cunning and avoids any collision with Xu Zimei.

It even deliberately chose the Divine Soul's location within the Thousand Calamities Doomsday to escape, attempting to use Xu Zimei's power to break through the Divine Soul's barriers.

If it were an ordinary human body, Xu Zimei's power could easily capture the insect.

But not with the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

He, too, is a Comprehender of the Dao, and his internal Dao naturally repels Xu Zimei's power.

If Xu Zimei were to intrude too forcefully, it might trigger a violent reaction.

"An insect?" The nine Mountain Ghosts were somewhat shocked.

They did not expect such a thing within the Thousand Calamities Doomsday.

Perhaps due to their lack of strength, they couldn't even investigate the state of the Thousand Calamities Doomsday's body.

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

He said, "I don't know what kind of insect it is. To solve this matter, I need to search the places he previously visited for clues."

"Does anyone here know his last whereabouts?"

The nine Mountain Ghosts exchanged glances.

The Eye Mountain Ghost stepped forward and said, "Previously, the Lord of Thousand Calamities seemed to have visited the Historiography Hall, as if he was searching for something."

"After that, we haven't seen him again."

The other Mountain Ghosts nodded and explained, "As you know, the Lord of Thousand Calamities doesn't need to report his comings and goings to us."

"The Historiography Hall?" Xu Zimei frowned.

"That's where I just was."

"Yes, the Historiography Hall is a place for storing annals and ancient texts, but nowadays people are focused on cultivation and have no interest in these records. Over time, the Historiography Hall has become semi-abandoned."

At this point, the nine Mountain Ghosts seemed a bit worried.

They hurriedly inquired, "Sir, are you planning to leave?"

"We beg you to save our Ghost God Academy."

"In the current situation, without the consciousness of the Lord of Thousand Calamities, it's difficult for us nine to suppress the Ghost Gods. Only a being of your heaven-shaking prowess can manage the current situation."

In response to their flattery, Xu Zimei said lightly, "Since I have taken your crystal, I will naturally fulfill certain things. There is no need for you to worry."

"Moreover, the Ghost Gods have yet to come, so what is there to fear?"

"Sir, should the enrollment ceremony continue?" one Mountain Ghost asked tentatively.

"Of course, why wouldn't it?"

"Haven't you heard of 'shut the door to beat the dog'?" Xu Zimei smiled.

"Don't let the enemies come while you panic yourselves first."

"What's the hurry, just wait patiently, and find me a teaching position at the Historiography Hall."

"Since the Lord of Thousand Calamities last visited there, I think there might be some clues."

"Yes," the nine Mountain Ghosts dared not defy.

Watching Xu Zimei's departing figure, they exchanged glances and sighed silently.

These are troubled times indeed!

......

"Do you really love reading these classical stories?"

Shangguan Ya, who was engrossed in reading, was startled. She turned around and saw Xu Zimei standing beside her, without her noticing when he appeared.

Whether it was because she was too absorbed in her reading or for some other reason, she hadn't sensed his presence at all.

"Hello, teacher," Shangguan Ya quickly stood up and replied.

"I have a poor aptitude for cultivation, so I enjoy reading some history and miscellaneous tales in my free time."

"Have you found anything interesting?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Of course, teacher. Look at this 'Chronicles of Ghosts and Gods,' it mentions how the Ghost God Realm used to be a man-eating cursed territory. It was only after the arrival of the Lord of Thousand Calamities that order was established here."

"And in this book, it talks about the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, which is said to be a heavenly landscape that appears once every several epochs."

"Supposedly, those who enter the Immortal Realm will immediately achieve enlightenment and ascend to immortality."

As she mentioned something she was passionate about, Shangguan Ya began to talk more.

Perhaps sensing Xu Zimei's goodwill, she wasn't as nervous anymore.

It seemed that this new teacher was quite pleasant.

Initially, Xu Zimei was simply listening to her stories, but upon hearing about the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, he furrowed his brows slightly.

He looked at the book in her hand.

"What book is that?"

"It's the 'Chronicle of the Masses,'" Shangguan Ya replied with a smile.

"It's said to be a collaborative effort by countless people, spanning several eras. The book contains various small tales from different times, and it's my favorite."

"Who wrote about the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm in it?" Xu Zimei asked.

He picked up the book and flipped through a few pages.

The descriptions in the book were quite vague, only mentioning an Immortal Realm, that appeared like a glazed scene, thus named the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm.

However, it seemed the author lacked experience or insight, making the narrative quite brief.

The author of this tale was named Hu Fu.
