Since Zhang Xuan and the others had been bound into the Survival World, an unknown span of years had passed.
Present-day Water Blue was no longer what it once was. It had become a Ghost Domain World teeming with ghostly qi.
Yet a sliver of light remained, originating from a special force on the overseas Treasure Island—the Heavenly Evolution Palace.
In the past, Xuan Yan had traveled throughout Water Blue, secretly taking in many mortals and leading them onto the Dao. These Dao Entry mortals became the main force resisting the ghostly qi.
But the ghostly qi was immensely powerful, and as time passed, it underwent layer after layer of transformation, becoming countless ghost spirits.
Because the world had turned into a Ghost Domain World, these ghost spirits cultivated at an astonishing speed. The remaining mortals were far inferior to them, and could only temporarily retreat to the overseas Treasure Island to discuss a new strategy.
Xuan Yan set up an Isolation Array on the overseas Treasure Island. It could ward off evil and keep out ten thousand ghosts, allowing these surviving mortals to preserve their lives.
Afterward, the Heavenly Evolution Palace was established, and a statue of Xuan Yan was erected. The Dao Entry mortals formed teams and split up to wage guerrilla warfare against the ghost spirits, continuing to this day.
The Treasure Island where the isolated Heavenly Evolution Palace stood had expanded continuously along with Xuan Yan's cultivation. It had now become a realm of its own, where the remaining mortals multiplied and lived, enjoying a different sort of prosperity and harmony.
Xuan Yan continued following his previous strategy. He did not act personally, instead using mortals to drive away ghosts. His cultivation had now reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak.
