Kai Ming Mountain, although merely a small hill within the Primordial True Realm, reveals an endlessly vast landscape of rivers and Tao Domain once the boundary between illusion and reality is breached.
The undulating earth veins nurture countless spaces.
In the past, the Witch Gods only used this place as a temporary residence, occasionally gathering here for grand assemblies.
Therefore, no "deluxe renovations" were made to the Taoist practice ground, and only a few simple Cave Mansions were carved out among the mountains and ravines.
Now, not only has the Witch God Organization gained two new members, but the Witch Gods have also found their leader, meaning that the organization is set to formally embark on a path of development.
Consequently, everyone considered reorganizing the spaces within Kai Ming Mountain and transforming it into an official Taoist practice ground.
As the leader of the Witch Gods, Shen Ni took the initiative to undertake the great task of reconstructing Cave Mansions for everyone.
"I am a master of spatial manipulation; leave this task to me!" The newly appointed Shen Ni was full of enthusiasm, requiring no assistance from other Witch Gods.
In just nine days and nights, Shen Ni meticulously reorganized the rivers within Kai Ming Mountain, creating numerous Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.
Within these blessed lands, mountains and rivers were complete, and within these grotto heavens, sun, moon, and stars were all present.
Shen Ni also tailored the style of each Cave Heaven Blessed Land according to the characteristics and preferences of every Witch God.
For instance, Tian Wu's Grotto Heaven was situated in Xun Land, with harmonizing winds; Xi Zi's Blessed Land was in Qian Land, brimming with the vigor of spring; Xuanming's everlasting ice mountains, Zhu Rong's molten lava beds...
Such a responsible and considerate leader won unanimous approval from everyone.
"The spatial Witch God, Emperor Jiang."
"Hehe, not bad at all!"
Shen Ni listened to the Witch Gods' praises with delight in his heart.
After setting up Cave Mansions for everyone, Shen Ni also created an elegantly scenic Grotto Heaven for himself.
Within that Grotto Heaven, mists and rainbows scattered colors; sun and moon swayed their lights.
A thousand ancient cypress trees in the mountain stood half-veiled in rain, the woodland bamboo segments, wrapped in mist, presented a lush hue. Outside the door, peculiar flowers displayed a tapestry of brocade; by the bridge, precious grasses exuded fragrance, with mysterious apes and white deer appearing at times, and golden lions and jade elephants roamed free.
He often discussed Taoist scriptures and practiced Divine Skills with the Witch Gods here, delving into the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
When in high spirits, he would also venture out with everyone.
Either riding the clouds and roaming the Four Seas, departing at dawn and returning at dusk, in absolute comfort.
Or subduing Fierce Beasts, clearing resentful spirits, delivering the afflicted from suffering, with boundless joy.
Right, Shen Ni had also learned the Witch Gods' unique skill—medicine.
In Shen Ni's words, "As the leader of the Witch God Organization, since everyone masters the Resurrection Technique, how could I not learn how to save lives and heal injuries?"
A terrorist proficient in medical arts is truly beyond imagination.
And his medical Divine Skills were all very proper.
This deeply disappointed Xuanqing.
During this time in Kai Ming Mountain, it was the most comfortable period Shen Ni had ever enjoyed since his birth.
He didn't have to rack his brains on how to destroy the Primordial world, didn't have to exhaust himself on how to summon the Demon Gods, and didn't have to live in fear of being chased by other Innate Divine Beings.
Such a comfortable life was something Shen Ni was not accustomed to initially.
But imperceptibly, Shen Ni gradually became part of the Witch God Organization, truly taking himself for the spatial Witch God Emperor Jiang, almost forgetting his true identity.
Fortunately, he didn't truly forget who he was.
Whenever he was about to sink too deeply into the comforts of Kai Ming Mountain, Shen Ni would silently remind himself:
I am Shen Ni, a wicked fiend with a black heart, the common enemy of all Primordial Creatures, the Soul Summoner for the Chaos Demon Gods, striving to be the nemesis of the Pangu Era!
I must wreak havoc!
Then, a couple of days later, Dao Ran Venerable Xuanqing would come along with various pretexts to take Shen Ni out for a stroll.
"Emperor Jiang Daoist, I've discovered an interesting species."
"Emperor Jiang Daoist, I'd like to discuss with you a novel usage of the ways of Space."
"Emperor Jiang Daoist, we're off to subdue Fierce Beasts, join us."
"Emperor Jiang Daoist..."
Every appearance of Xuanqing managed to suppress Shen Ni's dark persona fixated on courting death, allowing Shen Ni's better nature to prevail, effectively transforming him into the righteous Emperor Jiang.
And even after Xuanqing's respite, the Witch God Organization's other "social powerhouse," Zhu Rong, would become the most active member of the organization and continue to lead Shen Ni astray.
Xuanqing is genuinely infused with the Tao, while Zhu Rong is genuinely passionate.
He was talkative and energetic, outgoing and magnanimous.
With him around, the Witch Gods never had to worry about any lull in conversations.
With him around, Shen Ni would always be influenced by this enthusiasm and unknowingly integrate into the atmosphere created by the Witch Gods.
"No, this won't do, if I continue this way, I feel like I won't be able to leave this place."
One day, painfully reflecting on his situation, Shen Ni thought of a good way to prevent himself from sinking into this "comfort nest"—keeping a diary.
"I must record my daily actions, then reflect on my mistakes, and firmly remember my mission to wreak havoc!"
"Starting from today!"
Shen Ni immediately refined a private Spiritual Book as a "diary."
And thus, he began his daily reflections.
"Day one, frolicking in the mountains and waters with Daoist Xi Zi, such great fun."
"Day two, discussing the Great Dao with Daoist Xi Zi, such great fun!"
"Day three, Daoist Xi Zi proposes hosting a banquet, everyone eating and drinking together, such great fun!"
"Day four, oh Shen Ni, how can you be so degenerate; where have your ambitious aspirations gone? Have you forgotten your plans to destroy the Primordial world? You cannot continue this any longer!"
Inside his Grotto Heaven, Shen Ni glowered with furious eyes, penning vigorously, deeply reflecting on his conduct.
He vowed silently: "Tomorrow, I must make a change, reject all invitations, head out alone, and cause destruction, orchestrate an earth-shattering conspiracy!"
