While the Thousand Calamities Doomsday was injured, the sixteen Ghost Gods attempted to fuse into a single, powerful three-headed, six-armed monster to defeat Xu Zimei. Despite the monster's initial terrifying attacks, Xu Zimei broke free from its petrifying ray and retaliated. Though the monster claimed to be immortal, Xu Zimei's Great Dao blade intent proved too powerful, destroying its essence. As the Ghost Gods tried to flee, Xu Zimei enveloped them with his blade intent, eliciting desperate pleas for mercy.

"Master, just say the word, we will tell all we know," the ghost gods quickly replied.

"How did you come to know that Thousand Calamities Doomsday was injured?" Xu Zimei asked.

The ghost gods seemed to have no hesitation about this question.

"Master, if we tell you, could you let us go?" one of the ghost gods asked.

"You have no right to bargain," Xu Zimei replied.

"We'll tell, we'll tell," feeling the increasingly intense blade intent in Xu Zimei's hand.

Even with a momentum that seemed to annihilate the void.

The ghost gods hurriedly replied, "That day, the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm appeared, right within the territory of our Ghost God Realm."

"We were originally following the divine signs, seeking the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, when we inadvertently encountered Lord Thousand Calamities."

"At that time, Lord Thousand Calamities seemed also to be searching for the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm."

"And then?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Of course, we dared not compete with Lord Thousand Calamities. The Glazed Glass Immortal Realm was within reach, and we saw Lord Thousand Calamities ascend into it with our own eyes."

The ghost gods replied.

"Then, suddenly the world plunged into brief darkness, and a divine punishment struck down from the heavens, knocking Lord Thousand Calamities out from inside."

"Afterwards, we kept speculating that Lord Thousand Calamities was severely injured."

"After many probes, we finally considered it a great opportunity."

"Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, divine punishment," Xu Zimei murmured to himself.

The ghost gods quickly nodded.

"Master, what we say is all true, we beg you to spare us."

"When did I say I would certainly spare you?" Xu Zimei said lightly.

"You are too audacious, regard this as doing a good turn for Thousand Calamities Doomsday."

"Spirit Clan, it's better to submit obediently. I won't annihilate your clan, but as for you, death is your final destination."

In the next moment, the blade intent in Xu Zimei's hand began to whirl.

Within the endless blade intent, the wretched screams of the ghost gods echoed.

"Such a powerful being as you, yet you go back on your word."

"Despicable and shameless, we should never have believed you, better to have fought to the death."

"I hate, I hate that I cannot duel you to the death."

As the screams of the ghost gods faded, ultimately everything was extinguished under Xu Zimei's blade.

......

Watching as all sixteen ghost gods died miserably.

The ghost god army, already in chaos, now panicked.

It was like a headless frenzy.

At this moment, the entire Ghost God Academy was in disarray.

While the nine Mountain Ghosts were elated, as the sixteen ghost gods were originally a major threat.

Just that they never showed signs of rebellion before, so Thousand Calamities Doomsday left them unchecked.

Recently, the nine Mountain Ghosts had racked their brains over them with unbearable frustration.

Now the major threat was eliminated; as for other ghost gods, they were insignificant.

"Thank you, Master, for your assistance; we are immensely grateful,"

The nine Mountain Ghosts quickly bowed and said.

"It's no trouble," Xu Zimei waved his hand slightly.

"Restore the Academy's peace as soon as possible. As for the issue of Thousand Calamities Doomsday, it might not be resolved for now."

For what the ghost gods just said, Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

After entering the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm, it was astonishing for the Heavenly Dao to send down divine punishment.

This indeed seemed inconceivable.

One must know the Heavenly Dao usually does not interfere with worldly actions.

Unless someone challenged the heavens.

This touched the baseline of the Heavenly Dao, causing the divine punishment.

Just like Xu Zimei before.

But merely a Glazed Glass Immortal Realm could trigger the Heavenly Dao's vigilance, thus leading to divine punishment.

This gave Xu Zimei a suspicion.

Thousand Calamities Doomsday's biggest problem now should be the black worm inside him.

But a strong one like Thousand Calamities Doomsday—there's no way such a worm could easily enter his body.

Just like Xu Zimei, if the worm was outside, Xu Zimei had countless ways to kill it.

Only when the worm was inside, it became hard to deal with.

And Thousand Calamities Doomsday very likely was hit by divine punishment, losing resistance momentarily, allowing the worm to take advantage.

If the worm came from the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm.

Xu Zimei became even more curious about this place.

Though based on the information he had, the appearance of the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm was irregular.

It might appear every hundred years, or every ten years, completely without pattern.

This meant finding the Glazed Glass Immortal Realm was almost impossible for Xu Zimei.

He could only go to the place mentioned in the previous diary, the homeland of Great Emperor Tianqi, to have a look.

Perhaps he would find new discoveries.

......

In the following period,

Xu Zimei returned to the Historiography Hall.

And the chaos at Ghost God Academy, with the help of the nine Mountain Ghosts, began to gradually stabilize.

Of course, the nine Mountain Ghosts could not exterminate the Spirit Clan.

Because the number of Spirit Clan people was overwhelming.

Throughout the Ghost God Realm, probably half were members of the Spirit Clan.

So they could only govern them, with no better means available.

When Xu Zimei completely mastered the talisman seal in the inner chamber, he also prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he proposed to take Thousand Calamities Doomsday with him.

Perhaps once he reached Cangxuan Realm and visited Great Emperor Tianqi's homeland, he might find a way to treat the worm.

And the nine Mountain Ghosts did not stop him.

Now, with the situation of Thousand Calamities Doomsday, they were at their wit's end.

Moreover, the uncontrollable Thousand Calamities Doomsday was like a time bomb.

Xu Zimei taking him away was rather the wish of the nine Mountain Ghosts.

After all, if Thousand Calamities Doomsday went on a rampage again, they couldn't suppress him.

Xu Zimei did not bring Thousand Calamities Doomsday into the Divine Continent, as their relationship was not to this extent.

He found an inner space ring capable of accommodating live people and placed Thousand Calamities Doomsday inside.

Before leaving Ghost God Academy, he recommended Shangguan Ya to the nine Mountain Ghosts.

This might be the only help he could provide Shangguan Ya.

The other liked reading, had a pure mind; maybe lacking in cultivation talent, but the Daoist Heart was more important than anything.

Talent is something that can be smoothed out through postnatal effort.

As for Lu Xiong's physique evolution, he didn't have to worry about it; just persistent effort would suffice.

Finally, it was Liu Jin whom Xu Zimei gave a part of the flesh of the sixteen ghost gods he killed.

By relying on these, the other could break the seal of the ghost gods' loathing.

After finishing everything, Xu Zimei rose into the air, heading towards Cangxuan Realm.

Now, with the passage between the Nine Domains open, traveling back and forth was convenient.

But on the way to Cangxuan Realm, a sudden explosion echoed violently from the sky.

Soon after, countless dense cracks appeared on the firmament.

These cracks seemed to be splitting the entire sky apart.

Xu Zimei understood.

The Heaven Challenge of the True Martial Great Emperor was about to draw its curtain.
