"Stop!" Watching the situation get out of control, the Sect Master personally interfered, appearing between Xu Shan and the people. 

"Why are you stopping us? Are you saying you'll be able to stop him if he decides to kill everyone after waking up? The Guardian of the Mountain never harmed anyone!" The middle aged man exclaimed. 

"It wasn't wrong to say that the Guardian of the Mountain was the Guardian of this world! However, that Guardian is gone now, maybe trying to stop this guy!" he further chimed in, trying to convince the Sect Master. "If that doesn't prove that this guy is bad news for everyone, then what does?"

"The Guardian put his life on the line to give us this one opportunity where this guy is weakened. Are we to waste that opportunity?!"

He placed his hand on the Sect Master's shoulders, gently pushing him aside as he walked past. 

The middle aged man reached closer to Xu Shan. 

****

Next to Xu Shan, Xinren kept trying to wake him up. However, since this was the first time his Celestial Spirit of Devouring had completely awakened, it put a lot of burden on Xu Shan's mind. 

In fact, he didn't even know what was happening in the outside world. 

If anything, he was inside his own consciousness, which was a very unfamiliar place. 

It appeared like the Royal Throne room, but it was much bigger than he had seen at the Royal Palace of his father. 

There were many doors, each potentially leading to a different place. However, all the doors were closed, and sealed with chains all around them. 

Other than the doors, the only thing that the place had was a throne, which was over hundreds of feet tall, as if it was made for a Giant. 

Seated on the throne, there was a young man, who appeared to be even younger than himself. That person had similar facial features as him, yet he appeared different 

Unlike the calm and composed aura around Xu Shan, the person on the throne had a chaotic and destructive aura. 

Xu Shan looked around, observing this unfamiliar place. 

"Am I dead?" He asked, stepping toward the closest door to him. However, as soon as his fingers touched the door, a mysterious force pushed him back with such force that he flew back, crashing on the distant wall. 

However, for some reason, it didn't hurt him physically. It was as if this wasn't his physical body. He did feel pain, but physically he was completely fine. 

The person on the throne was mostly silent, but every once in a while, he was saying a single sentence, "It hurts..."

When Xu Shan heard that sentence, he realized that this wasn't the first time he had heard something like this! It was a similar voice that he heard when his Celestial Spirit first awakened and helped him! This was the voice of his Celestial Spirit. 

"The person on the throne is my Celestial Spirit?"

He realized that his Celestial Spirit had taken a form similar to him, which was a very rare ability for a Celestial Spirit to do. Most of the time, Celestial Spirits only appeared inside one's consciousness in the form of a small speck of light. 

Even the strongest known Celestial Spirit had only manifested in the form of a small wisp of flames, yet his Celestial Spirit had manifested in a form similar to him!

Xu Shan stepped closer to the Celestial Spirit on the throne. In the endless silence, he could hear nothing but the sound of his footsteps. 

However, there was a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was something else he had to do. 

"...up..."

"Huh?" As he was halfway through the hall, getting closer to the throne, he felt as if he heard something... A vague and unclear voice, that came from every direction. 

"Wake..."

The voice came again, this time more coherent. 

"Wake up!" He heard a loud shout, feeling as if someone hit his face with a forceful slap. 

The world around him disappeared, replaced by the darkness. He could finally feel his physical body again. 

He slowly opened his eyes, noticing the face of Xinren in front of him. 

"Do you think killing him will be the end of it?" He heard another voice, sounding like it belonged to an old man. 

 Next to Xu Shan was a middle aged man with a knife in his hand. His back faced Xu Shan while he turned toward the Sect Master. "What do you mean?"

"You say that he is dangerous, but what makes you think that killing him would be better? Do you know anything about him or where he comes from? What if you kill him, and the force behind him comes to attack us?!" The Sect Master exclaimed at the top of his lungs. 

Just the ring on Xu Shan's fingers alone was enough to show that he didn't belong to this world. And the world he came from, was not only more resourceful than theirs, but also much stronger!

"Who is to know that we killed him? He came to fight the Guardian of the Mountain and he died in that battle! Why would the force behind him think otherwise? Will they think weak people like us could kill him?" The middle aged man scoffed. 

For some reason, the Sect Master didn't reply. His face turned pale, but he couldn't say anything. He wasn't the only one who froze in place. 

The middle aged man thought that they were stunned by his smart retort. With no one to stop him, he turned around to finish his task. 

However, as soon as he turned around, his legs went limp. The knife fell on the ground. Behind him was the young man that he wanted to kill, but the man was not only awake, but looking straight in his eyes. 

"I-i..." The middle aged man stuttered. The others who had a weapon in their hands also stepped back, hiding their weapons.
