Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World

  Staying in the room, Xu Zhen spent a day successfully cultivating the hiding technique in "Xuanmu Jue", and for the next two days, he continued to absorb spiritual energy.

  For him now, whether it's the moves on "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing" or the techniques on "Xuan Mu Jue", all require spiritual energy to support.

  For now, these things are not yet useful, as Sun Hao introduced, the cultivation of the spiritual master's boundary is to accumulate and accumulate in the process of accumulation, in order to achieve true freedom earlier, and also to revive the Xuanmo lineage earlier. Now that there is a pursuit, Xu Zhen's practice is even more bitter than his practice in the woodshed.

  On the fourth day, early in the morning, a disciple woke up Xu Zhen who had been practicing all night.

  The grand ceremony of the sect is about to begin.

  Arriving at the Xuanwu Hall, there were already many newly recruited disciples gathered in the square. Xu Zhen roughly observed that each of these new Inner Sect disciples was quite impressive, and compared to Cang Ye from before, he had no idea how much higher their level was.

  Not long after, the last disciple also arrived, and Li Tian Luo appeared in front of the main hall.

  After a few simple words of encouragement, under Sun Hao's leadership, the group set off towards Qingxia Main Peak with great momentum.

  The Qingxia Sect is indeed one of the top five sects in the world, and its main peak's spiritual energy is incredibly dense, far beyond imagination. Xu Zhen felt that the speed at which the spiritual energy surged towards his body was more than twice as fast as when he was in the Xuanmu House, which means that if he didn't take into account the instability of his foundation and his poor control over the spiritual energy, what would normally take a year to achieve in the house could be achieved in just half a year here! However, this Qingxia main peak is not a place where anyone can stay, those who cultivate here are all big shots of the sect, such as the elders who guard the sect and the law enforcers.

  When following Sun Hao to the Qingxia Sect's Grand Hall for discussion, Xu Zhen saw that many disciples of various peaks had already arrived.

  Among them, he saw Cang Jun and several other direct-line brothers of the aristocratic families, and saw Yu Ling standing among countless women.

  Xu Zhen saw them, and they naturally also saw Xu Zhen. It's just that the expressions were different. Those few cousins of the Cang family were greatly surprised that Xu Zhen could appear here, but thinking of their current identity, they didn't come forward to ask questions. As for Yu Ling Xiao Gong Zhu, she was simply overjoyed, waving her hand excitedly at Cang Ye and shouting loudly to greet him.

  Looking at the several senior sisters beside Yu Ling, who did not blame her but instead tightly pulled back the little princess who was about to run over, Xu Zhen knew that the previous rumors were true, and Yu Ling should have indeed become a disciple under the gate of Ye Yue's sect leader, Zi Lian Wang.

  With a faint smile at Yu Ling, Xu Zhen followed Sun Hao to their Xuanmo clan's place.

  "I didn't expect Brother Ye to come to the mountain too, hehe, I knew someone as good as Brother Ye would definitely be able to enter the inner sect."

  Finally, the few senior sisters who had been pulled down by Yu Ling exchanged a smile with each other, but it was just a bitter smile. If something were to happen, then naturally someone like Yu Ling, a core disciple, wouldn't receive any punishment, but as for herself, that wasn't certain.

  The sun was high in the sky, and all the new disciples who had just entered the sect were gathered in the square. Upon closer inspection, Xu Zhen discovered that there were nearly 5,000 disciples who could enter the inner sect this time.

  Not long after, the elders of the sect appeared one by one, and finally, the Sect Master "Awakening King" Yue Xingyan also walked out of the main hall.

  Looking at the five thousand new disciples in front of him, Yue Xingyan nodded his head.

  The sect does not recruit disciples every year and only recruits when they feel it is necessary. The timing is also extremely uncertain.

  Sometimes it's one move in ten years, sometimes it's one move in a year. Even thousands of years ago, there was once a period of nearly a hundred years when not a single disciple was recruited. And each time disciples were recruited, they had to be under twenty and above ten years old. So being able to join the sect is not just about having excellent qualifications, but also good luck!

  Yue Xingyan standing high, gazed down at the numerous disciples below. Every disciple whose eyes met his couldn't help but straighten their chest.

  "You are all the future of Qingxia Sect."

  Hearing the sect master's words, all of the disciples felt even more proud.

  "Our Qingxia Sect has risen and fallen for five million years. During this period, it was either glorious or declined. However, our sect is still one of the top five sects in the world! As the leader of the righteous path! Why? It's because of disciples like you, who have been fighting for our sect generation after generation, life after life!"

  "I am proud of you all!"

  "As long as you are willing to make sacrifices for the sect, the sect will definitely use its full strength to transform your potential into real power, becoming an existence that people in this world look up to."

  "Are you willing to be the 130th generation disciple of Qingxia Sect?"

  "We will go through fire and water for our sect, without hesitation!" At this time, the disciples were stirred up by the passionate atmosphere on the square.

  In his past life, Xu Zhen had seen all sorts of performances by politicians, and there were many that were more brilliant than this. However, at this moment, he was also stirred up by this fervor! Between heaven and earth! The world looks up to him!

  The Qingxia Sect has been established for over 50,000 years. Fifty thousand years, in the mortal world, is equivalent to twenty-one generations, with empires rising and falling every thousand years. How long-lasting it is! Yet, without becoming a Wang-stage cultivator, one will ultimately become nothing but an ant! According to the classics, even a Sect Master is limited by heaven and earth, and can live for no more than 500 years at most. Only by becoming a Wang-stage cultivator can one break through the constraints of heaven and earth, constantly consume elixirs that increase lifespan, and reach the realm of the Supreme Emperor! Ultimately, they will share the same fate as heaven and earth, never dying or perishing!

  In the eyes of those powerful monarchs, a hundred years in the mortal world is just like clouds and smoke, fleeting. But for ordinary people, it's a lifetime. Within the Qingxia Sect, the gap between generations of disciples has reached an astonishing 400 years! Many people who could have become great-great-grandfathers by now are merely senior and junior brothers here. Four hundred years of changes in the world outside, yet within the sect, it's just one generation of disciples apart. Therefore, many cultivators, once they achieve some success in their cultivation, find that their loved ones in the mortal world have already turned to dust.

  In this world, the more profound one's cultivation is, the thinner the emotions between loved ones become. When all direct relatives have passed away, the only closest people in the world are seniors from the same sect and fellow disciples, so in this world, masters come first, family comes second, and then heaven and earth.

  Xu Zhen was far away and didn't know that his senior fellow disciple, Sun Hao, now also had an age of 138 years old. This age is even older than the master who reached the spiritual realm of his great-grandfather when he was ten years old. Of course, for his lifespan of 500 years, it is now equivalent to the most brilliant moment in human life.

  Satisfied with his new disciple's performance at this moment, Yue Xingyan waved his hand. He bowed to the great hall behind him and turned around. Loudly shouted

  "Respectfully inviting the sacred objects of our sect, all disciples follow me in worship and sacrifice."

  Sacred objects of the sect, each sect has one, regardless of size. Can be a weapon, can be armor, and can also be strange things. Some can turn the tide, while others have no practical use at all. The existence of sacred objects is rarely used as a treasure for fighting with others, because it is an object that suppresses the luck of a sect, condenses the will of thousands of people, receives countless worship, transforms decay into magic, and embodies the rise and fall of a sect.

  As they spoke, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and an overwhelming aura emanated from the gap. Gradually, the gap grew larger, and a massive stele slowly came into view.

  The void is torn apart, and distant places are connected!

  At this moment, Xu Zhen was stunned on the spot.

  What means! What power!

  Tearing through the void, that was something only a supreme emperor could do. Although he knew that behind every main peak there would be one or two supreme emperors sitting in town, but that was just hearsay. The first time seeing the emperor's power, it was terrifying! Before he had time to think about what to do, Xu Zhen hurriedly looked towards the void crack.

  After the void, connect elsewhere. It was a world surrounded by thunder and lightning, with countless electric snakes entwining around the monument, nothing else existed besides this.

  Horror! Unusual horror!

  This was Xu Zhen's first feeling after coming into contact with the stele. Although the stele emitted a majestic and righteous aura, Xu Zhen could sense the terrifying aura emanating from it through his cultivation of the "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing". However, looking at the expressions of his companions around him, he didn't know why they didn't have that fearful look, and those who did have an expression only showed a simple shock. So, he also restrained his own expression. Everyone's attention was focused on the void above, but no one noticed him.

  When the stele completely appears in the field of vision, the first feeling it gives people is grand.

  It's huge, the massive stele seems to connect heaven and earth! Even if space is torn apart to almost split the entire sky in two, it's still impossible to observe the top of the stone monument.

  The Great Ancestor of the World is actually this powerful!

  Just as everyone was shocked by the sacred object of the sect, Xu Zhen fell into a difficult situation at this time.

  Just now, the sky was torn to the extreme, and the holy object was fully revealed. At this time, the spiritual energy in Xu Zhen's body suddenly surged violently, and he could only desperately suppress it, hoping to wait for the end of the sacrifice as soon as possible.

  Because of the cultivation of "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing", Xu Zhen's body's spiritual energy is not simply a vast and harmonious energy, but rather an initial Hong Meng energy formed by the preliminary fusion of yin and yang energies! The Hong Meng energy is the most primitive spiritual energy that existed in the world since the beginning of creation. In Xu Zhen's world, countless ancient top-notch divine masters who have been verified can only become powerful enough to tear apart space and traverse the universe with their physical bodies by absorbing these Hong Meng energies. It must be known that the consumption required to tear apart the spatial crystal wall in that original world is far greater than this world! In the era of the Cosmic Union, tearing apart space is no longer a myth exclusive to those great gods, humans can also achieve this through extremely advanced technology, but just to tear apart even the smallest spatial fissure requires energy that would exhaust all the energy resources of a resource-poor planet.

  Tearing the sky with bare hands. What an invincible existence!

  As for physically crossing the universe, in that vast and mysterious space filled with danger. He can't even imagine it now.

  The "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing" that Xu Zhen is currently cultivating will restore the yin and yang energies between heaven and earth to Hong Meng Ling Qi. Perhaps when Xu Zhen cultivates to a higher level, he can transform the spiritual energy in his body into the primordial Hong Meng purple energy of Chaos. Of course, he doesn't have such thoughts for now.

  After coming to this world, after cultivating, he also had some guesses about the "Hongmeng Zhuanlun Jing". As for the conclusion drawn, Xu Zhen still didn't dare to believe it, but by comparing only one layer of the "Hongmeng Zhuanlun Jing", he could already evolve the primary Hongmeng Qi, and he still somewhat acknowledged his own conclusion.

  In that world, all top cultivators relied on consuming Hongmeng energy to cultivate. As the world evolved, Hongmeng energy gradually transformed into yin-yang energy, and by Xu Zhen's time, it had further divided into five elements of yuanqi. Therefore, it was impossible for those powerful cultivators who could defy heaven to appear again in later generations, leading humans to gradually abandon cultivation and turn to technological advancements. It wasn't until much later, when the secrets of cultivation were discovered through science, that people began to believe in those mythological legends, triggering a wave of interest in cultivation. Only then did martial artists begin to reappear in people's sights.

  In the midst of Xu Zhen's knowledge of all existence, only that one had the ability to evolve into chaos and restore spiritual energy. Therefore, this "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing" is very likely to be the Daoist canon left behind by that person! However, since there is a Daoist canon passed down, but never heard from those legends that his disciples, who are also top-notch masters, have such ability.

  He doesn't think about things he can't understand, this is Xu Zhen's consistent creed. So when he came to this world, he didn't go searching for a way back home like those other characters. Of course, it was also because there wasn't anything in his original world worth remembering.

  At this time, Xu Zhen felt that the spiritual energy in his body was becoming more and more violent, and he already had a feeling of being unable to suppress it.

  At last, the vital energy could no longer be suppressed, and a mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

  Fortunately, at this moment everyone's attention was focused on the Tongtian Stone Stele, and no one noticed his condition. He licked the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and felt that the spiritual energy in his body had broken out and was surging towards the stele in mid-air! Fortunately, after leaving his body, the spiritual energy was also transparent, and only he, who possessed the Hongmeng aura, could feel it. Seeing this unexpected turn of events, Xu Zhen could only hope that nothing unexpected would happen.
