Just when he finally gained some cultivation, he discovered that he was also caught in a scheme left behind by a sage from ten thousand years ago. Then, his small world was about to be destroyed.

Moreover, those in the Immortal Ascension Realm and above are all more insidious than the last. Lao Chen was manipulated at will.
