Li Ming held a flicker of curiosity and excitement as he flipped through the pages of the "Primordial True Scripture." The words within seemed to carry an ancient power, drawing his gaze. However, the content was obscure and difficult to understand; he could only grasp bits and pieces. He felt that this book concealed a vast and mysterious world. At that moment, a soft glow suddenly emanated from the bead on the table, illuminating the entire room.
"What on earth is this?" Li Ming muttered to himself, filled with confusion and unease.
Suddenly, he felt a strange force surging from the bead, enveloping him in an instant. His body began to tremble slightly, as if something within him was awakening. This power was not frightening; instead, it brought an indescribable sense of comfort.
At that moment, a deep and authoritative voice echoed in his mind: "In the mundane world, return to the primordial truth."
Li Ming jumped in surprise and looked around, but saw no one. He forced himself to calm down and continued studying the ancient text.
On the surface, this world appeared tranquil, yet it hid immense changes beneath. The Hidden Realm, a mysterious world spoken of in ancient legends, was gradually intersecting with reality. Thousands of years ago, the Hidden Realm had been sealed off due to a devastating war, cut off from the mortal world. But as the seal began to weaken, the power of the Hidden Realm started to seep into modern society, triggering a series of unusual phenomena.
Cultivators, the rulers of the Hidden Realm, possessed extraordinary powers and eternal lifespans. They cultivated Spiritual Energy to transcend ordinary existence. In the realm of cultivators, numerous factions existed, including sects like the Celestial Spirit Sect and Xuan Huang Sect, territories of demon clans, dark domains of demon races, and hidden families.
As the power of the Hidden Realm infiltrated reality, these factions gradually began to reveal themselves. Ancient sects like the Celestial Spirit Sect and Xuan Huang Sect re-emerged, establishing footholds in modern cities and slowly replacing national influence. Demon clans also began entering cities, showcasing their formidable natural powers as they competed for territory with cultivator sects. The demon races manipulated dark forces to expand their influence in secret. Meanwhile, some hidden families controlled vast resources and secrets related to cultivation, gradually revealing their true identities and becoming new centers of power.
All these changes led to a dramatic shift in the world's landscape. Traditional national borders became increasingly blurred as sects emerged as new rulers. Ordinary people began awakening under the stimulation of Hidden Realm powers, gaining various abilities and potential for cultivation, becoming cultivators or awakened beings. Resources such as spirit stones, elixirs, and magical artifacts became important currencies in economic circulation; the cultivation market gradually replaced traditional markets while trading platforms for cultivators emerged as new economic centers.
Li Ming's heart was filled with confusion and shock. He had never imagined that he would connect with such a mysterious and vast world. The bead and ancient book seemed like fate's arrangement, gradually leading him into an entirely new realm.
Days later, Li Ming's life remained busy, but his mindset had changed. He began noticing details that ordinary people could not perceive—like fluctuations of Spiritual Energy in the air and unusual auras emanating from strangers.
That night, Li Ming returned to his apartment as usual, ready to continue studying the "Primordial True Scripture." Just as he sat down, his phone suddenly rang. It was Wang Qiang calling.
"Old Li, how have you been lately? Has anything strange happened?" Wang Qiang's voice carried a hint of anxiety.
"Not bad, just feel like the world has changed a lot," Li Ming replied.
"I heard that many people are starting to awaken their abilities, and some even possess extraordinary powers. You know, there's a colleague at our company who suddenly became really impressive; he can control fire," Wang Qiang said.
Li Ming was taken aback; this resonated with his recent feelings. He decided not to hide anymore and shared his experiences with Wang Qiang.
"Actually, I've discovered some strange things recently. During a trip to the countryside, I found an ancient book and a bead in an old cave. I feel like there's immense power hidden within them," Li Ming whispered.
"Really? Tell me more about it!" Wang Qiang sounded particularly excited.
Li Ming briefly explained the situation regarding the Primordial True Scripture. After listening, Wang Qiang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Old Li, I think this might be your opportunity. You should study this book carefully; it could change your destiny."
Li Ming nodded, feeling determined. After hanging up the phone, he reopened the ancient book and began to study it earnestly. Although the content remained obscure, he gradually started to notice some patterns.
Just then, Li Ming suddenly felt a strong wave of Spiritual Energy coming from outside the window. He walked out onto the balcony and saw what seemed like a flash of light in the distant sky. Intrigued, he decided to go take a look.
He quickly changed his clothes and left his apartment, heading in the direction of the Spiritual Energy wave. The energy grew stronger, and his heartbeat quickened. Soon, he arrived at a secluded neighborhood where he saw a group of people engaged in fierce combat.
Among them were several cultivators radiating powerful Spiritual Energy as they cast various strange Spells. Li Ming hid nearby, holding his breath as he observed. He saw a middle-aged man in a Robe wielding a Magic Sword fiercely clashing with a man dressed in black.
The man in black was clearly one of the demonic clan; his body was surrounded by dark energy, and his eyes glowed red. His attacks were fierce and swift, but the Robe-clad man remained remarkably composed, skillfully dodging each strike while counterattacking.
"Is this the power of a cultivator?" Li Ming was shocked, as the scene before him felt like a dream.
Suddenly, the man in black unleashed his strength, delivering a punch to the chest of the Robed Man, sending him flying. The Robed Man spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Hahaha, you cultivators are nothing but this!" the man in black laughed maniacally, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
In that critical moment, Li Ming felt the Spiritual Energy within him stir. Gathering his courage, he rushed forward and positioned himself in front of the Robed Man.
"Who are you? How dare you block me!" the man in black shouted angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Li Ming sensed the immense pressure but did not back down. He took a deep breath and activated the initial techniques from the Primordial True Scripture, concentrating his Spiritual Energy into his fists.
"Get out of my way!" The man in black struck towards Li Ming with an open palm.
Li Ming dodged to the side and countered with a punch, unleashing his Spiritual Energy with it, surprisingly pushing the man in black back several steps.
"You..." The man in black clearly did not expect Li Ming to possess such strength, and astonishment crossed his face.
At that moment, the Robed Man also got back on his feet, channeling his Spiritual Energy to heal himself. He looked at Li Ming with a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes.
"Thank you for your help; leave this person to me," the Robed Man steadied himself and once again swung his sword at the man in black.
