~7 min read 1,228 words

Ten years later, in the Great World of Taiyi, Wild Heaven Region.

Five years ago, from the distant chaotic void, two ancient and unchanging auras emerged. They sensed another vast and boundless world—the Wild Heaven Region—through the boundary of the void.

They possessed the cultivation level of Tribulation Crossing, standing proudly on the crane's head of the Boundary-breaking Ship, full of ambition, intending to break through the boundaries of the heavens once more and charge into this place!

But... the ideal is beautiful, the reality is harsh. The territory of the heavens expanded, devouring the vast void. How immense and grand is the will of the heavens, while cultivators are merely a drop in the ocean of this world. How can they defy the heavens?

Chen Xun and Black Bull, unsurprisingly, encountered an unexpected situation. Their plan to smuggle into the heavens failed, and they were swept into a battlefield where the will of the heavens clashed with the will of the void, flung far away.

However, the result was somewhat acceptable. Although they didn't enter the world as majestically as they had imagined, like the opening of the heavens, they were still flung into the Wild Heaven Region, albeit in a disheveled state, relying on their strong bodies.

Today, the sun shines brightly, with three brilliant suns hanging high in the sky, casting clear light.

The radiant beams pierce through the gaps in the leaves of the towering ancient forest, scattering a kaleidoscope of colors on the forest floor.

Majestic mountain ranges stretch for millions of miles, undulating continuously. The wild wind howls past, bringing a sense of desolation, flowing with an ancient aura.

Beside it, the vast sea of trees, with towering ancient trees, each filled with spirituality, silently witnessing the erosion of time and the cycle of life in this heavenly domain. The millennia-old Crane Spirit Trees are particularly abundant.

From afar, the sea of clouds rolls, with floating immortal peaks and cliffs faintly visible, along with the faint glow of pavilions. High above, drifting clouds pass by, occasionally with figures practicing grand spells, releasing illusory light and shadow.

Roar~~~~

The sky trembles, the ground darkens, as a primordial beast of the wild sweeps across the sky, its roar shaking the heavens and earth, causing creatures miles away to tremble in fear.

Boom—

The brief tranquility is suddenly shattered by a roar from within a mountain range, where two bloodthirsty ancient beasts are battling. Their bodies are as tall as the majestic mountains, with each strike capable of shattering the heavens and earth!

However, such scenes are not uncommon in the Wild Heaven Region, with countless creatures perishing in the aftermath of battles.

There are even true spirits emerging, devouring flesh and blood, filled with a primal aura, with danger lurking everywhere. Only the strong can take root and survive here.

The entire heavenly domain is imbued with a profound ancient aura, with every inch of land having endured endless storms, recording the untold wild years.

In a vast mineral vein, an earthquake suddenly occurs!

It's the distant commotion from the battle of the ancient beasts, causing millions of immortal slaves and cultivators to instantly seek refuge in a grand formation, their pupils filled with an indelible fear...

Such disturbances may occur every few days or months.

If luck is bad, the entire mineral vein could be wiped out with a flick of the hand, and the life and death of millions of cultivators could cause significant turmoil in the grand world.

But in the Wild Heaven Region, ordinary cultivators are no different from ants in a patch of grass. If they die, they die, without causing any ripples.

If it weren't for the abundant cultivation resources in the Wild Heaven Region, who would gamble their lives for tomorrow, working ten years to eat for hundreds?

In a formation pit, stones continuously fall, accompanied by some grumbling voices:

"Those damned ancient beasts, awake again?!"

"Exactly, they fight until they're tired and then sleep. Let them wreak havoc. To be honest, I once saw a foot of an ancient beast and thought it was an immortal mountain! But then it moved, scaring me so much I didn't dare enter meditation for decades."

"...Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter echoes in the mine, with only one young man harboring jealousy in his eyes, "That senior tricked me into coming to the Wild Heaven Region, claiming there was a great opportunity, but it turned out to be mining, living in constant fear. That old scoundrel is truly detestable!"

"Isn't it your greed to blame? What's wrong with mining? At least there's a great sect to protect us," someone sighs.

"Hmph, just a sparrow," the young man scoffs, casting a disdainful glance.

"What, want to debate?"

"Bring it on!"

...

As the words fall, the atmosphere instantly becomes tense, with dozens of mining cultivators looking at each other, wondering why it has come to this.

"Ahem... No need to rush, both of you. We're all miners here. Give me some face, just chatting, no need for fighting."

"Moo moo~"

A calm and peaceful voice, along with a cow's call, comes from the edge of the mine. A man and a cow sit at the edge of the crowd, smiling, even cupping their hands to everyone.

"Hmm? Who are you?" The young man's eyes narrow, his vigilance rising, instantly suppressing his anger, probing, "Fellow Daoist, you seem unfamiliar. Are you new to the Xuanji Sacred Land's mineral vein?"

The crowd also focuses their gaze on the man and cow in the corner, wondering why they have no impression of them, yet they seem to have been here for some time.

When something unusual happens, there must be a reason. This is the Wild Heaven Region, not to be judged by the norms of the grand world of immortals, not to be underestimated!

"Indeed."

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?" The young man cups his hands, his tone becoming more polite.

"My brother and I have just entered the world, coming from a Daoist temple on a green mountain, without names, only Daoist titles. We came to earn some spirit stones for our journey. You can call me the World-Destroying Elder..."

World-Destroying Elder?!

As these words fall, the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense, with everyone's expressions taut, dumbfounded, unable to be awakened even by the tremors of the mineral vein, as if inexplicably caught in a strange mood.

Pfft!

"Haha, this fellow Daoist is quite humorous, such a grand claim."

"Hahaha..."

...

In the mine, someone suddenly bursts into laughter, followed by continuous laughter, even the young man who claimed to be the World-Destroying Elder joins in.

But the one laughing the loudest is the Black Bull beside him, baring its teeth, blending in with the other cultivators.

They are none other than Chen Xun and Black Bull, who have ended up here. The Wild Heaven Region is vast and boundless, so they can't wander aimlessly. They must start small and gradually understand the power dynamics of this heavenly domain.

With the cultivation level of Tribulation Crossing, the information they gather daily is vast.

But in the perilous Wild Heaven Region, with Chen Xun's cautious nature, he wouldn't recklessly charge and kill, nor would he inquire indiscriminately.

His eyes are set on the superpower of this heavenly domain, the Xuanji Sacred Land!
