Outer Realm Demons and the Void Train

As the current leader of the Tianxuan Realm, the largest cultivation sect in the Xuantian Sect, Ku Xuan had not been as shocked as he was today in a long time.

The purpose of cultivation is, naturally, to become an immortal.

However, in the Tianxuan Realm, the path to immortality has been severed for tens of thousands of years. Over these tens of thousands of years, countless geniuses have perished on this path.

In his youth, he could be considered an exceptionally talented individual; otherwise, he could not have become the number one cultivator in the world. Even so, his path forward was still blocked.

However, there is always a way out. In his generation, the legendary path to immortality, which had long been broken and elusive, reappeared with the reappearance of the ruins of a reclusive sect from ancient times.

Legend has it that the secret of the Ascension Path is hidden within the ruins.

Involving ancient legends and secrets, and concerning the Ascension Path, the righteous and evil factions set aside all grudges for the first time and joined forces in an attempt to reshape the path to immortality.

--But this is not the arrival of a golden age of cultivation; rather, it is the beginning of a Nightmare.

During the first joint exploration mission, the disciples from both the righteous and evil factions who were sent into the ruins suffered heavy casualties within six hours of entering the ruins, with almost the entire force wiped out.

Those disciples who were lucky enough to survive and escaped mostly seemed to have been greatly stimulated in the ruins, and their whole bodies went insane.

And this is just the beginning.

Before they could deduce anything from this shocking turn of events, something even more terrifying happened.

Those disciples who escaped from the ruins, excluding the ones who went mad, were all placed in a nearby cultivation sect for treatment and recuperation, as they were severely injured and unconscious.

This was a perfectly normal measure, but no one expected things to turn out that way.

No one knows what happened that night. When dawn broke again, the entire sect was wiped out. From the sect leader to the lowest servant, not a single one was spared; they were all mutated into disgusting and terrifying Monster.

And this pollution even shows a trend of continuous expansion.

In the end, it was he who took action, setting up an unparalleled killing formation to completely annihilate the entire cultivation sect.

... Within that ruin lurks a terrifying Outer Realm Demons from prehistoric times.

Records about Outer Realm Demons exist sporadically in large sects like the Xuantian Sect, which has a history of tens of thousands of years, but they are not numerous.

In those fragmented records, these Outer Realm Demons are formless and shapeless, yet they are infinitely varied. They cannot be killed by common means and are the world's greatest scourge.

In their world, there had been no news of Outer Realm Demons appearing for tens of thousands of years. The sudden appearance of these Outer Realm Demons caught them all off guard.

After learning about the dangers posed by the Outer Realm Demons, the area around the ruins was sealed off by a series of powerful arrays... but the exploration could not stop.

Cultivating immortality, Ascension Path.

This is an obsession that no one has held for tens of thousands of years, and it cannot be dispelled by news of an Outer Realm Demons.

Since then, many terrifying things have happened around that Ancient Ruin, but the so-called exploration has never stopped and is still ongoing to this day.

The current progress of the overall exploration of that Ancient Ruin is 1/10.

However, even though it was only 1/10, they still obtained something from that ruin.

For example, a powerful consumable magic Magic Treasures that can turn a thousand miles around into scorched earth where not a blade of grass can grow; a humanoid metal puppet hundreds of meters tall; a large amount of precious materials and equipment... and so on.

Among these are some ancient treasures that could no longer exist in the world.

The Strange Jade Scroll that brought him to this place also originated from that Ancient Ruin.

He initially thought he had entered a hidden Secret Realm, but what he saw and heard afterward completely reshaped his worldview.

Landscapes Outside the World, restaurants in the Void, humans from other worlds, all sorts of strange and wonderful Demonic Creatures...

Most importantly, as the leader of the number one sect in the cultivation world, he couldn't even afford the price of a single dish. The millions of Spirit Stone he carried with him were simply not enough to spend here.

However, he was a man of strong will. Since he had no money for food, he simply went back to his old profession and started telling fortunes and pretending to be a charlatan. He used to do this often when he was in the cultivation world.

--That's how he lured his exceptionally talented disciples back into the sect.

Now that he'd come to this strange place, there was no way he would leave empty-handed.

"Gentlemen, this humble Ku Xuan."

After questioning the two of them, the White-bearded Old Daoist priest, still holding the "Divine Calculation" flag, simply sat down in the spot where the Fireworks of Romance" had originally been.

Intelligent people don't need too much formality in their interactions.

"What do you want to know? Let me make it clear beforehand, all information here comes at a price."

Looking at the White-bearded Old Daoist in front of him, the middle-aged man smiled and asked directly.

"Consider the previous information given away for free; credibility guaranteed, integrity first."

"This humble Daoist priest has some rather good top-grade magic Magic Treasures and pills here."

After a moment of contemplation, Ku Xuan answered.

"If you two don't mind, this humble Daoist priest may..."

"Forget it. Although they are called top-grade Magic Treasures and top-grade pills, their Quality is at most Perfect Grade. Your world has not yet recovered, Epic Grade are impossible to appear."

Before Ku Xuan could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man curled his lip in disapproval.

"What your world calls the 'severance of the Ascension Path' means that Epic Level Item will never appear again in the world after that; the highest level you can achieve is Perfect."

"That's right. The maximum that can be achieved in crafting magical Magic Treasures and pills is at most top-grade."

Although he didn't quite understand what the middle-aged man meant by "Perfect" and "Epic," it didn't prevent Ku Xuan from roughly understanding them, and he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Things beyond the highest grade are only those ancient treasures passed down from ruins, but these things are extremely valuable, being the most prized possessions of a sect. I did not bring them with me."

"Don't worry, no one is coveting your sect's most prized treasure. I'm only saying this to give you a general idea of the market... We'll talk about your matter later."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and turned his gaze toward Bai Zhi.

"So, do you have any other questions?"

Do you know about a train that travels through the Void?

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked the question.

"Besides that, have you heard of [There is a Library]?"

"There's a Library I don't know what that is, but I know a little about the Void Train."

Seemingly curious as to why he knew these things, the middle-aged man gave him a slightly strange look.

"Just like this restaurant, the origin of the Void Train is also untraceable, mysterious, and its motives are unclear. It can appear randomly in any world, and I have never boarded it."

"Is that all?"

After hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Bai Zhi looked slightly disappointed.

"What do you mean that's all? Knowing this much already shows I'm very well-informed, okay?"

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, utterly speechless.

"The Void Train is just a rumor. I'm just a poor person at the bottom of society. If I knew more, do you think I would be setting up a stall here?"

"I'll come find you again after nine o'clock tonight, and I'll bring you the dish you wanted while I'm at it."

Bai Zhi shook his head slightly and stood up from his chair.

"It's almost time for work, I need to hurry back to work."
