Dragging countless wounds, Red Silk Blade limped into Baixian Pavilion, immediately causing a commotion behind him.
This battle was spectacular enough, with blood and flesh in abundance. The only downside was the unexpected outcome, which led many gambling cultivators to suffer significant losses, forcing vendors and fruit sellers on the sidewalk to pack up early.
Xu Feng navigated through the crowd of laughter and curses, returning to his dwelling with a heavy heart. He had no idea if they were following him; all he wanted was to return home first, and then go back to his family.
Home—a phrase so ordinary now felt incredibly distant, almost unreachable. Sitting on the edge of his bed, Xu Feng thought of the place that suddenly leaped into his mind: Earth.
Xu Feng was born into an ordinary working-class family. His parents scrimped and saved to send him through college, after which he found a job that barely paid enough to survive. He thought that after a few years of hard work, he would see progress in his career, but things did not go as planned.
His parents might have sensed that their child’s future would not be bright. When Xu Feng turned sixteen, his energetic father had another daughter for him. While Xu Feng was working, this sister was just starting school. He took it upon himself to cover her school expenses.
These expenses included toys, clothes, snacks, leisure activities, and a series of other costs. Even so, Xu Feng was happy; watching his sister grow up healthy and joyful was the greatest joy for him.
Now, Xu Feng could no longer see his six-year-old sister. He could no longer pick her up from school during his free time or hold her hand at the school gate and say, “Let’s go home.”
I want to go home! I want to go home!
Xu Feng shouted in his heart: I want to go home! I want to go home!
After releasing his emotions, Xu Feng gradually calmed down, shifting from impulsive thoughts to contemplating the possibilities of reality.
Xu Feng unexpectedly arrived in this world after coming across an old book at a street stall. Since that book existed on Earth, could there be cultivators who have traveled there? If others can go, why can’t I?
If that book is merely a product of spatial rifts or turbulence, then where is the node of this space? Who can find that node?
Perhaps there is a passage in this world that can traverse time and space; perhaps there is a power that can move through the universe; or perhaps there is someone who controls the time and space of the universe.
This passage surely does not exist in the mortal realm; such power would not appear in Liuxiang Kingdom, and the person who controls the world cannot possibly be in Baixian Pavilion.
The only possibility left is: the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm—a place that has created countless legends—can be called a paradise or a hell. Regardless of whether it is a good place or a cursed one, Xu Feng has never been there. But now, Xu Feng wants to go. Only in the Immortal Realm might he find a way back home.
Information about Xuan Lu flowed through Xu Feng's mind. There were many cultivators from the Xuan Continent who ascended to the immortal realm through cultivation, but in the past three hundred years, the numbers had dwindled to a pitiful few.
Seeking immortality and ascending to the heavens was no different from a fool's dream. Yet, for this dream, countless cultivators had come and gone over the centuries, only to end up with their bodies and souls separated, their lives extinguished. Only a few fortunate individuals, whose ancestors had accumulated an unknown amount of merit over the years, became the ultimate achievers.
However, just like gambling, no one wants to fail; everyone believes they are that one in ten thousand lucky person with extraordinary luck—"I will win because God has chosen me."
Unfortunately, Xu Feng did not believe in God or in any Buddha.
"My fate is determined by me, not by others!"
"I must ascend to the immortal realm, find a spatial passage, and return to my homeland!" Xu Feng shouted resolutely in his heart.
Once this thought emerged, all stories suddenly became clear. Due to the Earthling's tradition of not holding grudges, as soon as Xu Feng crossed over, he shot Li Si with an arrow, then began a frantic escape filled with life-threatening pursuits. Up until now, Xu Feng had been living in constant tension between fleeing and killing, hardly having time to think about anything else.
He had been passively following along as if his fate was decided by Wan Jian Sect thousands of miles away. Just being associated with Wan Jian Sect forced him into a corner; how could he even think about ascending to the immortal realm?
Xu Feng focused his energy on piecing together various pieces of information, striving to analyze the rules of this world. This was a world where strength reigned supreme; there was no place for pacifism—might represented everything.
Mortals existed like ants in this world but were also the foundation upon which cultivators were built. Many exceptionally talented cultivators came from common backgrounds rather than prestigious sects.
Spiritual Roots were not guaranteed simply by two cultivators coming together; even with genetic purification efforts, the probability was only slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
After all, cultivators were not mass-produced products.
According to records from Xuan Lu, during earlier times, hundreds of cultivators ascended every century. Various cultivation methods were more effective and comprehensive back then, with almost no conflicts. The era of cultivation was a peaceful one.
In the second generation of cultivation, some degenerate cultivators began to emerge—those who did not put in effort themselves but sought to steal others' hard-earned results at critical moments, such as spiritual herbs and magical artifacts. Thus, the second generation became one of opportunism.
Now it was the third generation of cultivation—a time of war and strife. With resources depleting, conflicts among cultivators grew increasingly fierce. The previously overlooked Refining Tool techniques were magnified during this generation as everyone sought weapons with greater lethality to bring their opponents to ruin and seize more cultivation resources.
Most resources in Liuxiang Kingdom were occupied by the Six Great Sects; only the Beast Wasteland and vast seas remained undeveloped. These two areas were considered forbidden zones within the entire Xuan Continent. After resources were divided among major sects, powerless rogue cultivators could only venture into these two places in search of fortune.
Every year countless cultivators perished in the Beast Wasteland and offshore waters; those who managed to return alive received corresponding rewards and experienced significant increases in their cultivation levels.
With Xu Feng's current cultivation at the Qi Refinement First Layer, even with the assistance of the Arrow Meridian, attempting to escape alone to the Beast Wasteland and the Boundless Sea would likely result in certain death.
What is even more frustrating is that he has now made two formidable enemies. Although the Wan Jian Sect is far away, he cannot guarantee they won't resort to underhanded tactics. The Qinghua Gang may have average strength, but they are not something Xu Feng can contend with at this moment. The Baixian Pavilion can only provide temporary safety; once he steps out of its protection, he will be on his own.
Counting the days, there are only a few left until the New Moon Sect's selection day. The best course of action is to participate in the selection and do everything possible to join the New Moon Sect. Once he has a secure place to settle down, he can plan his next steps.
If he fails the selection, he will have no choice but to flee again when the opportunity arises.
Having made up his mind, Xu Feng took out two cultivation methods from his storage bag. The Fire Technique was left behind by Li Si, a second-generation official, and it serves as Xu Feng's first killing move. He quickly mastered it to Fire Element One Star; it was his introductory cultivation method. However, this method was primarily designed for alchemy preparation and does not possess great offensive power, though it is relatively easy to learn.
The Golden Yuan Slash was obtained from Zhao Shixiong. This chameleon-like Zhao Shixiong originally had impressive Jinxi swordsmanship but encountered Xu Feng, who possesses long-range attack capabilities as an Amazon Archer. Before he could even draw his sword, he was shot down—truly unfortunate timing. The Golden Attribute Cultivation Method has the greatest power among the five elements; Xu Feng's final arrow that killed the Freckled Man relied on Jinxi's invincibility.
After some comparison, he decided to focus on cultivating the Fire Technique during these remaining days. He hopes to elevate his Fire Element One Star to Fire Element Two Star before the selection day arrives. Once he reaches Fire Element Two Star, the power generated by the Arrow Meridian would likely be enough to challenge even a Qi Refinement Seventh Layer cultivator.
With that thought in mind, he assumed a stance and began practicing according to the cultivation method of the Fire Technique.
