Name: Lu Yuan
Age: 22
[Cultivation Technique: Ninth-Rank Cultivation Technique "Shattering Void Blade Manual" (38012/50000 Entry Stance)]
[The Ninth-Rank Cultivation Technique, "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Breathing Method," has reached the Void Breaking stage (1023/10000 Great Success)]

Looking at the data above, Lu Yuan took a deep breath. After reaching the ninth rank of the cultivation technique, it was much more difficult to gain proficiency than before. However, after a year, he had finally entered the realm of mastery.
At least among the independent cultivators in the vicinity, he is no weaker than the others.
Before arriving, Lu Yuan not only inquired about the situation of Xiao Gu's world, but also about the cultivation techniques.
According to Xiao Gu, the cultivation techniques here are called Xuan Gong, which are also ranked from one to nine grades, with one grade Xuan Gong being the lowest and nine grades Xuan Gong being the highest.
Mysterious skills can make one's attack power even stronger.
It is fundamentally different from the cultivation methods I practiced in the past.
It is no exaggeration to say that a disciple from the sect who cultivates a first-grade profound skill, even if he is only at the Earth Immortal realm, can suppress the loose cultivators outside the city who have broken through the Void.
Moreover, this has happened more than once.
Therefore, in this place, the status of sect disciples is much higher than that of independent cultivators outside the city.
As for cultivation realms, above Breaking Through the Void, from low to high, there are Transcendental, True Spirit, Profound Body, Eternal, Inscription, Immortal...
Once you reach immortality, you can dominate a region and be considered a master even in this vast world.
However, nowadays, breaking through a certain realm takes thousands of years, and the further one progresses, the longer it takes.
Even if one breaks through the Void Realm, their lifespan is only five thousand years.
Once the limit is reached, one can only wait for the five signs of decay to descend upon the celestial beings.
Many people cannot advance because they lack profound skills; even after cultivating for thousands of years, they still cannot break through.
Such examples abound.
Therefore, if you want to become stronger, you still need to work hard to cultivate yourself.
Only after reaching the Eternal Realm will the body undergo another qualitative change, and lifespan will reach ten thousand years. Only then will some cultivators breathe a sigh of relief.
However, I still dare not relax.
After all, the difference between eternity and immortality seems to be only separated by inscriptions, but it is like a chasm, cutting off the path to immortality for countless people.
Cultivation is a path against the heavens; once you embark on it, there is no turning back.
Lu Yuan was fortunate that he could not only increase his proficiency but also advance his cultivation techniques, thus ensuring that his path to advancement would never be interrupted.
As for joining a sect, he can only think about it for now.
The most important thing now is to survive in this big world.
"Creak!"
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking this, the courtyard gate was opened and then quickly closed.
It's Xiao Shi who's back.
It's not really dark yet, but in some places, it's already time to go home.
After all, everyone knows that things are chaotic outside the city, and if you really go home after dark, you might encounter trouble.
As soon as Madam Xiao entered, she saw Madam Lu coming out to greet her and exclaimed with delight, "My sister has come too?"
Then he turned his head and said, "A-Yuan, Hong Ling."
"Mother."
"His Majesty."
Lu Yuan and Zhou Hongling immediately stepped forward.
Madam Xiao then pulled Zhou Hongling aside and said, "You silly child, where are we now? You're still calling me Your Majesty. If you don't mind, you can call me Mother like A Yuan and the others do from now on."
You have no other relatives here besides us, so from now on I will be your mother.
"Yes!" Zhou Hongling responded, her eyes reddening involuntarily.
Although it is said that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, after being teleported to the Great World with Lu Yuan, she doesn't know if she will ever have the chance to see her family again.
"Knowing you were coming today, I prepared some things. Let's celebrate later." After saying that, Madam Xiao pulled Madam Lu into the house and then found a large clump of minced meat in the cabinet.
"This is the offal of the demon race. Eating it will benefit even those at the Void Breaking Realm. We can't afford the real meat, so we'll have to make do with this."
Xiao said with a smile, but she didn't say that she had almost sold everything she brought with her from her storage ring just for this lump of minced meat.
In the hearts of all humankind, when a family is reunited, they always need to eat something.
In the past, as Lu Yuan and the others improved their cultivation, they no longer needed to eat, since most foods no longer had any effect on improving their cultivation.
Even so, when happy, she would cook some delicious food and drink some wine to celebrate.
After all, this is a long-standing habit that is difficult to change.
Nowadays, there are plenty of ingredients in this great world that are helpful for cultivation.
So nowadays, when people get together, it's natural to bring out some good food, sit down, and have a few drinks.
"I'll do it. I learned how to do these things from others back in my hometown," said Mrs. Lu with a smile.
Not at all.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, sister. I'll prepare a few more cold dishes," Madam Xiao said softly.
As for Xiao Hua and Hong Ling, they assisted from the side.
Although the family seemed to have returned to their impoverished past, they smiled more and seemed to be more affectionate.
"Creak!"
Just then, the courtyard gate was pushed open again.
Xiao Gu walked in with his son, carrying a large jar of wine. Behind him were Xiao Ku, Xiao Mie, Xiao Li, Man Gu Hun, Man Gu Tun, Man Liang, and Li Qing. However, Fu Chuan and Meng Ke, the Western Rong emperor who had surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, were not seen.
Even so, it made Lu Yuan very happy.
Xiao Ku was working in the spirit fruit garden outside the city, carrying some fruits that emitted a faint spiritual aura. They looked quite fresh, but their quality wasn't very good, so they must have been picked not long ago.
Xiao Mie was holding a bunch of vegetables that Lu Yuan had never seen before. They were probably a specialty of this desolate ancient world. It was said that he worked for the spirit vegetable gardens of some families outside the city. The leaves of these vegetables looked like they had been bitten by insects.
Xiao Li built a house with his neighbors in the shantytown outside the city. The spirit crystals he earned each month were only enough for him to use, so he was left empty-handed.
Li Qing worked alongside him, and they both lived a very frugal life.
As for Mangu Tun, Mangu Hun, Manliang, and Manyou, they were carrying a strange-looking little beast, which, although not large, weighed more than ten pounds.
Clearly, these people have all found work after arriving in the desolate ancient world.
Although life is difficult, it's not like we can't survive.
When everyone met, joy appeared on their faces. After all, Lu Yuan had been their pillar of support in the past, and seeing him come over now was a relief.
It's like I've found my people.
Madam Xiao was also quite pleased, and looking at everyone, she said, "Oh, before A-Yuan came, you wouldn't even come in the door, but now that A-Yuan has just arrived, you all rushed over."
She joked with everyone, but her face was all smiles.
Over the past six months, these people have helped my mother and me a lot, taking turns to deliver cleansing pills to us. Otherwise, we might not have been able to survive.
Manguhun rubbed his bald head and said, "Big sister, you're wrong about that. It's just that I'm usually too tired to take care of myself. I come back from hunting covered in blood, and I'm afraid it will displease you."
Since arriving in this world, Xiao Shi has made everyone call her "elder sister" and forbids them from addressing her as "Your Majesty."
As for the Xiao family members, they were addressed according to their family seniority.
Now they are more like a family gathered together for mutual support.
In shantytowns, there are many such groups. They act in groups of three to five, which at least protects them from a lot of bullying when they are out in the open.
Otherwise, if people find out you're alone, you'll likely be targeted very quickly, and no one will know when you die out there.
This place is even more chaotic than the original world.
Everything is determined by one's own strength.
Unless one meets the requirements to enter a sect and becomes a sect disciple, one can live in the city or develop into a family and establish their own residence outside the city under the sect's protection.
Otherwise, one must endure the life one has now.
Lu Yuan looked at Man Guhun and said, "I heard you were injured. Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, I was nailed to my own wall with a knife, but I didn't see the person. I must have offended someone while hunting. But it's okay, my physical body is still pretty well-trained." Man Guhun patted his chest as he spoke.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "That's good."
Then, everyone began to prepare the food, and in less than an hour, a table full of food and wine was set on the table.
The group gathered around a small table.
After finishing his drink, Lu Yuan finally voiced his question: "Where are Fu Chuan and Meng Ke? What are they doing?"
Logically speaking, everyone came together.
They should be together.
But now, the person is gone.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, Li Qing took a sip of wine and said softly, "Fu Chuan didn't come with us. He joined a merchant caravan and is responsible for escorting goods. He knows a lot of people now and lives a more respectable life than we do. Although we keep in touch after a while, he rarely comes over."
Hearing him say this, Lu Yuan understood, but everyone has their own ambitions, and this cannot be forced.
Back in the Qin Dynasty, Xiao Shi was the emperor and Fu Chuan was an official of the Qin Dynasty. But now that they have come to a new place, it is a fresh start, and everyone has to rely on their own abilities.
If Fu Chuan has no hope of joining the caravan, he might gravitate towards the Xiao family, since there are many people there and he can protect himself.
But once they find better opportunities, people from the past naturally stop trying to stay in touch, and they gradually drift apart – it's only human nature.
Following that, Li Qing continued, "As for Mengke, that guy is even more formidable now. His ancestors from the Western Rong were sent here quite early, and he used to be an outer disciple of the Changqing Sect."
With the support of the sect, a manor has been built outside the city. The family now has several hundred members and employs thousands more.
After Monk teleported over, his family picked him up. A while ago, they even came to ask if we wanted to go with him to the Monk family to find work, but none of us went.
Li Qing said slowly.
Lu Yuan knew what everyone was thinking. It was probably mainly because Xiao Shi didn't choose to go. After all, she wasn't familiar with Meng Ke, and they were even from an enemy country. Plus, she was traveling with her daughter, so she naturally had to be careful. That's why the others stayed behind.
However, those who remain are the ones who are truly trustworthy.
Monk's performance surprised him, considering that the other party had been forced to abdicate and surrender.
Now that I'm here, the fact that I can still think of everyone is enough.
As for Fu Chuan, since he has chosen a new beginning, Lu Yuan chooses to respect him.
After all, everyone was just trying to survive and make their lives better, so he didn't blame anyone.
However, they already knew in their hearts who would advance and who would retreat.
Immediately afterward, Lu Yuan seemed to remember something and looked at Madam Xiao, saying, "Mother, didn't the Great Qin also have ancestors who were teleported here? Didn't they know you were coming?"
Meeting Lu Yuan's gaze, Xiao Shi's eyes revealed a hint of sadness: "Of course I know, but no one from Great Qin has been sent here for many years. There are too many generations between us, so there isn't much kinship between us."
When we arrived, the ancestral hall was actually revealed, but the family members left immediately after seeing everyone, as my uncle and his family are not considered direct descendants.
Hua'er is a woman, and already married, and her cultivation is so weak, so I'm too lazy to take her in.
Moreover, there was internal conflict within the Qin Dynasty, and some people in the manor were not on good terms with our faction.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright, let's just go our own way and ignore them."
He said with a smile.
Li Qing then said, "What is A Yuan planning to do? Why don't you come with me to build a house first? Although it's not respectable, at least we can earn some Cleansing Pills."
They also wouldn't leave their settlement to risk their lives outside.
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Let me take a look first, and I'll make a decision tomorrow."
"Okay, that's fine. You just got here, so a day of rest is fine too." Li Qing nodded.
Then, Lu Yuan looked at Mangu Tun beside him and asked, "How was your hunting trip outside? Was it dangerous?"
The latter grimaced as he listened: "To be honest, I've never seen such a dangerous place before."
As he spoke, he pointed with his chopsticks at the meat stewing in the casserole in front of him and said, "This rat demon has the cultivation of an Earth Immortal. Don't be fooled by its small size; its physical body is incredibly refined."
They can even transform and fight us.
It took four people to barely kill him, and that almost cost me my life.
After Mangu Tun finished speaking, he opened his chest, revealing a hideous sword wound. Given his physical strength, the fact that it hadn't healed in so long showed how dangerous it must have been.
After arriving in this world, they discovered that humans were at a disadvantage when fighting against demons.
In the past, they were considered the pride of heaven, after all, they could reach the Earth Immortal realm in a small world where teleportation was cut off and spiritual energy was about to be depleted, so it is conceivable that they definitely had talent.
However, once they arrived here, they were utterly weak in battles against opponents of the same cultivation level.
He might even be suppressed by city dwellers whose cultivation level is lower than his own.
These days are truly unbearable.
However, they reaped greater rewards than others. For example, the demons in this Immortal Realm could be exchanged for about one spirit crystal per demon.
If a few people are lucky, they can earn four or five yuan a month.
However, it is not as stable as working in a settlement, and sometimes it may take a month to find a suitable job.
Barely enough to make a living.
Lu Yuan now realizes that life here is not easy.
After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll go out with you tomorrow."
Upon hearing him say this, everyone looked up.
Xiao Hua's heart tightened, especially: "Brother Yuan..."
"It's alright, I'll go check it out tomorrow. We're not going to fight. Besides hunting, I also need to visit Li Qing for a while. With so many tasks, I need to find one that suits me."
"That's true. No rush, let's look for it first. As for the Cleansing Spirit Pill, we can try to gather more if necessary. We can always get through this," Xiao Gu said seriously.
Everyone else nodded.
Lu Yuan said, "I appreciate your kindness. You all helped me a lot before I arrived, and I am already very grateful. Now that I am here, I have to take on the responsibility of supporting my family. Things are not like they used to be, and everyone is having a hard time."
The others were about to speak when they heard Lu Yuan say this.
He chuckled and said, "Gentlemen, it's not that I'm being polite, but if there's really no other way, I'll still speak up. Let's not talk about this now, let's eat first."
"Alright, let's eat and drink first," Mangu Tun said with a smile.
He's rather careless and doesn't care much about these things. In his limited mental capacity, he only has one thought: let's deal with it after today.
Who cares about tomorrow?
The meal lasted until very late before everyone went home.
Normally, they don't go out at night.
After all, demons sometimes appear at night.
The most common creatures are fox demons and bat demons, as well as some human-eating monsters. They don't launch large-scale attacks, but every day some demons sneak in at night to ambush and kill lone humans.
Moreover, some rogue cultivators would come out to plunder.
However, Xiao Gu and his group are more numerous today.
Also, since everyone lives nearby, nothing really happened.
After the courtyard quieted down and the table was tidied up, Madam Xiao and Madam Lu went back to their rooms to rest.
Lu Yuan then pulled Zhou Hongling and Xiao Hua back to his bedroom.
After their brief farewell in the bridal chamber, they never saw each other again.
Now, it's like a long-awaited reunion.
With Lu Yuan's formidable physique, rest is out of the question.
One night, the bedroom was filled with waves of red.
Accompanied by a cloying noise.
The next day, Lu Yuan got up early and, facing the gazes of Madam Xiao and Madam Lu, forced himself to walk out of the courtyard before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems I really need to build a bigger yard as soon as possible, otherwise this is just too inconvenient."
He only found out last night that Xiao Gu lived next door, and across his yard was Man Gu Tun's house.
We had agreed to go hunting today, so Mangu Tun and the other three were waiting for Lu Yuan early on.
After seeing him leave the hospital.
Manguhun waved his hand, and the group headed out of the city.
On the way, Lu Yuan did a rough calculation.
There are now five people in his family, including him, which means that each person needs three bottles of Cleansing Elixir per month.
If you exchange it for spirit crystals, that's three.
He needs at least fifteen spirit crystals a month to ensure everyone has enough.
Therefore, normal work was not even within Lu Yuan's consideration.
He came here today specifically to hunt.
Besides the Cleansing Elixir, eating some Immortal Rice and beast meat is also essential to maintain a healthy balance.
Although one could go without eating, the energy in this ancient world is much denser, so even for cultivators, eating something is better for their health.
Otherwise, over time, it will also affect one's cultivation level.
Difficult to break through.
Some habits must be formed early on, otherwise they will be difficult to make up for later.
As far as Lu Yuan knew, the Xiao mother and daughter hadn't eaten much in the past six months, and had only been absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Therefore, the two of them did not look as rosy-cheeked as before.
Even Li Qing and the others had a sallow complexion.
Therefore, Lu Yuan naturally wanted to find a way to make his life and that of his family better.
After leaving the gathering place.
The five people flew out and could see a mountain range in the distance, with lush foliage, towering trees, and dark green hues that blended into the blue sky.
The peaks and rocks are uneven and strangely shaped.
Faint animal roars could be heard as they drew closer.
Surprisingly, green and red mists, emitting an eerie glow, could be found floating in the mountains, creating an atmosphere of both the bizarre and the novel.
Mangu Tun pointed ahead and said, "These places where various colored mists rise are all caves where great demons reside. The weakest of them are at least at the Transcendent Realm and can truly transform into human form."
He possesses innate supernatural abilities and is very powerful.
When we hunt, we should only walk around the outer perimeter; we must never go too close to the inner area, or we'll surely die.
"Is this the largest mountain range in Dongsheng Lingzhou?" Lu Yuan looked around and, even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end of it; it must have been tens of thousands of miles long.
In its original small world, it would definitely be the largest mountain range.
"It's far from that. This mountain is known as the Hundred-Thousand-Li Hundred-Dang Mountain, which has many demon caves, but I heard that the ones living there aren't very powerful."
In the entire Void Spirit Domain, this mountain range could probably barely rank in the top 100, and there are probably thousands or even tens of thousands of such regions in the Eastern Victory Spirit Prefecture. This is just a guess made by the people of the Evergreen Sect.
No one knows exactly how many there are, but they are very, very large, and there are many powerful individuals among them.
There is a demon king in this Void Realm, whose strength is roughly at the Profound Body Realm. Even the Evergreen Sect would avoid him.
Mangu Tun's words startled Lu Yuan.
Just then, they approached a mountain ridge.
As soon as they landed, they could faintly hear the roars of beasts coming from ahead.
Something seems to have happened here. There are people guarding the outer edge of the forest where the beast roars. Judging from their clothes, they are people from the Changqing Sect.
"They are peripheral disciples of the Changqing Sect, responsible for maintaining order in the gathering place. Although they are not even considered outer disciples, they wield great power to us."
Fu Chuan got his job in the caravan by attaching himself to an outsider disciple.
Let's leave.
Mangu Tun reminded him softly.
Lu Yuan nodded, showing no intention of lingering. After all, he had just arrived in this world, and it was best to heed advice.
However, just as they were about to turn around...
A clear voice rang out: "A Void Breaking Realm demon has appeared on the outskirts of Baidang Mountain. You must leave immediately, lest you endanger your own lives."
The speaker was a woman, dressed in a blue robe with a gold thread along the cuffs. She was tall and slender with a delicate face. Her appearance was comparable to Xiao Hua and Zhou Hongling, but she had a touch more aloofness and a faint spiritual light emanating from her body.
"This is an outer disciple, let's go quickly," Mangu Tun whispered in Lu Yuan's ear.
Outer disciples are of a much higher rank than peripheral disciples, and are definitely important figures to the people in the shantytown.
Then he clasped his hands in a fist salute to the woman and said, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. We will leave now."
Although he looked much more weathered than the Changqing Sect disciple opposite him, in this world, age is not a factor.
Those with higher cultivation levels are seniors. The woman in front of me has a powerful aura and is an outer disciple of the Changqing Sect. She must be at least at the Transcendent Realm.
They were either native to the sect or had broken through to the Transcendent Realm within three hundred years of being teleported here, possessing extraordinary talent.
They were either native to the sect or had broken through to the Transcendent Realm within three hundred years of being teleported here, possessing extraordinary talent.
Neither of them are people that Mangu Tun and his group can afford to offend right now.
The woman nodded, turned, and flew into the forest.
Lu Yuan and his group had no choice but to change their hunting direction. They couldn't help but lament their bad luck today, encountering such a thing as soon as they stepped out the door.
But just as they rounded a bend in the mountain valley...
"roar!"
Another roar of beasts rang out, this time seemingly closer and clearer than before, followed by a fierce gust of wind.
Lu Yuan looked over and saw a monster with a pig's head and a human body appear not far from the five of them, its black mane standing up like steel needles.
His blood-red eyes were completely devoid of any other color.
His arms were thick and strong, with muscles bulging like steel.
Its white fangs, a foot long, protrude from the outside.
He was even carrying two broad axes with blades as big as millstones.
Seemingly driven to desperation by the pursuit, upon seeing Lu Yuan and the others, they charged forward with axes in hand.
Sand and gravel flew around his body.
This was the first time Lu Yuan had ever seen such a scene. He had long heard that there were demon races in the ancient world, but this was the first time he had ever seen one.
Mangu swallowed hard, his rough Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
"A Void Breaking Realm demon, we...we must leave quickly." His voice trembled as he spoke.
However, it's understandable, since all four of them are at the Breaking Void Realm, and it takes their combined efforts to deal with a mere Earth Immortal Realm rat demon.
Now they are facing a Void Breaking Realm demon. Even those who have cultivated profound skills would probably have to undergo a Transcendent Realm transformation before daring to make contact with it.
Lu Yuan's gaze darkened, and he said coldly, "It's too late."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped high into the air, revealing a spiritual weapon within him—a large, dark bow with a menacing arrowhead that gleamed with a cold light.
Then they aimed at the charging demon.
At the same time, inside the settlement, Li Qing and Xiao Shi stood outside a rather tidy courtyard.
Two guards stood at the entrance, both at the Breaking Void Realm.
"Gentlemen, I'm looking for Fu Chuan from your caravan. I'm his friend, Li Qing. Please announce my presence."
"Just you wait." The guard said these three words in an unfriendly tone before turning and going inside.
A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
Then Fu Chuan came out. He was wearing a long robe that emitted a faint spiritual light. Although it wasn't very new, it was much better than the tattered clothes of Li Qing and the others.
As she stepped out the door, she saw that Madam Xiao had also arrived. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she stepped forward, saying, "Xiao Hongxiu? Is there something you need?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Qing's expression changed. Even though the Xiao family was here now, out of respect, they would try their best not to mention their names.
Fu Chuan addressed her by her first name, which displeased Li Qing.
But Xiao didn't care. She had been here for half a year and had gotten used to it. Besides, she had experienced hardship back then.
Therefore, I take a very indifferent view of the fickleness of human relationships.
She hadn't originally intended to come, but when Lu Yuan left the gathering place today, she understood his intentions; Lu Yuan must want to go hunting outside the city.
This child has always had a strong personality. If you really let him build houses and grow vegetables, earning a few spirit crystals a month and relying on others for a living, he probably wouldn't be willing.
Therefore, the only option is to try asking Fu Chuan to see if he can offer Lu Yuan a position.
"Hehe, it's not a big deal. It's just that A Yuan also teleported over yesterday. I originally wanted to get together with you yesterday, but you were too far away, so I didn't bother you."
I was wondering if there were any openings in the caravan that A-Yuan could try out for?
"Oh dear, I wondered what was wrong. You called me out in such a hurry. This place is not like the outside world, as you know. You can't get in without someone putting in the effort. I just arrived and haven't even settled in yet."
"I can't help with this," Fu Chuan said immediately.
Madam Xiao nodded, her eyes dimming, and said, "I understand. Thank you for your help."
"Well, I have something to do, so I won't see you off." Fu Chuan replied and walked into the courtyard without looking back.
"Old Fu, who is this? They've come all this way?" a guard standing outside the door asked.
"What are you asking about? Everyone has a few poor relatives. If you come looking for me again, just say I'm not here." After saying that, Fu Chuan went straight into the courtyard.
Li Qing pointed in the direction of the courtyard and said, "Elder sister, you saw his true colors, didn't you? If it weren't for the late emperor valuing him and nurturing him, and even making him your teacher when you were young..."
Does he have the resources to break through to the Earth Immortal realm?
They rose to power by flattering and bewitching the late emperor, and now they've finally shown their true colors.
"Li Qing, people's hearts have always been complicated, so don't get angry. Things are different now than in the past. After we all come out, we will go our separate ways."
Remember, don't tell A-Yuan about this.
"Sigh, am I that kind of person? With his temper, I'm afraid he can't stand to see you suffer. This caravan is the property of the outer disciples of the Changqing Sect, and we can't afford to offend them."
After saying that, he and Xiao Shi gradually walked away into the distance.
However, the two figures appeared somewhat hunched from behind at this moment.
EFB
