For the Sake of Living

Along the way, the land was crisscrossed with paths, mostly spiritual fields, with everything from medicinal herbs and exotic fruits to divine grains that Demon Cultivator liked to eat.

Black Peacock Sacred Mountain is an Extraterrestrial Civilization inhabited by a variety of races. The largest race is undoubtedly the demon race, and the others are mostly demons. Humans also exist, but they are a minority.

Along the way, one sees plains and basins dotted with towns and Village Town inhabited by demons who have taken human form, as well as lakes, marshes, and towering cliffs inhabited by primitive beings who do not follow the path of human transformation.

In addition, there are neon-lit metropolises, showcasing the fast pace of a technological society and the information explosion, while spacecraft take off and land from time to time, streaking across the night sky like shooting stars.

Black Peacock Sacred Mountain values the diversity of civilizations, promoting integration and progress. The development of each region is very balanced, mainly because it has suffered heavy losses in the past.

Of course, this civilization originated from mythology, and its highest level of combat power is still "extraordinary". At the very least, that Old Peacock has lived for an unknown amount of time can single-handedly carve through a star field and defeat some famous civilizations.

Wang Xuan remained silent. This Old Peacock was an extremely powerful and ancient supernatural being, a formidable creature even in the entire starry sea.

His word alone can determine the fate of an entire star field. Among the beings we can currently contact, he is a figure standing at the highest level of the clouds, wielding immense power.

Black Peacock Sacred Mountain is magnificent, with all kinds of terrain. Some of the more famous peaks are used as training grounds by True Immortals and Celestial Beings, and are perpetually shrouded in celestial mist.

Some of these main peaks are even directly connected to the Immortal Realm, allowing for quick access.

Wang Xuan and his companions were taken to a Mountain Peak City. At night, the city was brightly lit and laid out like a modern city. However, there was also a fairyland within the city, with divine waterfalls hanging down, islands suspended in the air, and huge divine trees stretching their branches in the city, drawing in the starlight like water.

The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and you can see huge pterosaurs spreading their wings and flying over in the distance, as well as spaceships heading into the distance and heading towards the outer reaches of the world.

"Modern cities are livable and convenient, but they also cannot do without extraordinary attributes. For example, the greenery in the city is made up of spiritual herbs and divine plants, and the trees on both sides of the road are all exotic species. There are many kinds of spiritual trees," Chen Yu explained.

Wang Xuan and the wolverine will be staying in this city for a while for intensive training. They have passed the test of the Heart-Illuminating Wall and will be passed on some secret manuals.

In the evening, the wolverine took Wang Xuan for a stroll in the city. He said it was out of respect for his hometown; he had finally returned and wanted to fully understand and experience it.

In fact, a so-called hometown should be either one's birthplace or a place where one has lived for a long time, but he didn't even know where the Black Peacock Sacred Mountain was before.

"Hey, the main thing is that I've been training hard in the Meteorite Sea all these years. Since becoming an unregistered resident, I've almost become a wild man. I haven't returned to modern society for a long time. Today, I'm going to relive the city's nightlife."

As he spoke, he transformed into a human, becoming a young man with jet-black hair, dressed in modern clothes, with bright eyes. To be honest, he wasn't bad-looking at all; he had a kind of eerie handsomeness.

"Brother, let's go." Wu Xingtian called to Wang Xuan, not forgetting to mention Little Wolf as well.

After getting a little understanding, Wu Xingtian, familiar with the place, dragged his brothers and brought his wolf son into a very popular nightclub.

"You can't do things like that," Wang Xuan reminded him, "Don't bring your child to a place like this."

"It's nothing, just drinking." Fortunately, Wolverine was reliable enough. Even so, he eventually went to another bar, a quiet one.

However, he was somewhat disappointed, as he had originally planned to go there to watch the peacock dance, which is said to be a must-see for visitors.

In the quiet bar, soothing music plays, flowing gently through one's heart like a soft stream.

"Brother, we also have peacock dances here," a messenger said with a smile as he brought over the gleaming silver wine.

Wu Xingtian immediately perked up, clinked glasses with Wang Xuan, and waited with great excitement.

"Our peacock dance here is a more aesthetically pleasing type, not a provocative dance," the waiter serving them drinks quickly explained to avoid any misunderstanding.

As expected, Wu Xingtian and waved him away.

The atmosphere here is indeed pleasant; everyone here is an extraordinary individual, whispering and conversing to soft music.

The bar was dark, with moonlight drawn in by Magic Tool, creating a hazy, luminous atmosphere. Leaves grew along the edges of the long wooden tables, and the seats were woven from spirit vines, still bearing buds, creating a sense of closeness to nature and a sense of tranquility.

A melodious tune arose, starlight flowed, and a light mist appeared. A woman in feathered robes appeared and began to dance in the peaceful atmosphere. Her graceful and otherworldly dance was beautiful under the moonlight and was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

Wu Xingtian stopped complaining and watched intently. In his excitement, he poured half a cup of wine for his wolf son.

"Does it look good?" Luo Ying arrived, still wearing a black dress that made her skin appear even whiter. In the moonlight, she seemed to be glowing.

Chen Yu was also there, and followed them over, sitting at the table where Wang Xuan and Wolverine sat.

"Beautiful! This dance should only exist in heaven." Wu Xingtian nodded quickly, and then said, "If it were performed by two fairies, it would be even more beautiful. It would truly be a dance that amazes the starry sky."

"Can you cut down on your habitual lies?" Chen Yu teased. By now, all the peacocks who knew him were aware of the wolverine's personality.

Of course, that's true, but it's never wrong to be polite, and who doesn't like to hear nice things?

Luo Ying said, "The peacock dance is beautiful, but it is also accompanied by many sad stories of our clan. Long ago, not in this era, even the most talented and famous fairies among our ancestors were just dancers in other people's gardens, given away at will. Many of our clansmen were kept in captivity and lost their lives at the drop of a hat. It was truly not easy for our predecessors to break free from the shackles of fate."

Wang Xuan was moved. Such a powerful Black Peacock Clan must have had a dark and unbearable past, having been enslaved by others? If they had such strength back then, only a True Saint would have considered them as dancers and not cared about them at all.

The wolverine immediately became indignant and said, "I never imagined that our ancestors had experienced such bitter hardships."

Chen Yu said, "This is nothing. It's not easy to be alive. My clan has experienced many more cruel things in the past. Back then, we were almost wiped out."

Luo Ying waved her hand and said, "It's useless to talk about these things. Which race doesn't have a history of hardship? I was just speaking from the heart. Every time the Supernatural Finale and the center shifts, all races scramble to cross. Many brilliant civilizations have burned to ashes. The escape route is crowded, and to survive, there is bloodshed between races. Even the strongest civilizations that have existed for centuries can be overthrown and die tragically on the way. There are all sorts of betrayals by allies and various religions joining forces to wipe out a race. There is too much tragedy. Every race has a hard time."

Luo Ying drank a cup of wine that shimmered with silver light. Her beautiful face showed worry for the future. She said, "We strive to cultivate, but it is really just to ensure the continuation of our race and to keep us alive."

Wang Xuan's expression was solemn. In the Supernatural Central Great World, once the myths came to an end and the center shifted, it was even more brutal than in other places.

In the struggle for a safe escape route, different civilizations may fight each other to the death, resulting in extremely brutal battles. No single tradition can guarantee eternal prosperity.

Luo Ying whispered, "Transcendence is beautiful, but it's also poison, attracting countless powerful individuals to follow its lead. Those who successfully undergo tribulation will naturally become stronger, and the overall strength of the clan can also be extended to the Ancient Sage of the clan who are on the path of Dao-imperialized, helping them to transform. But if one fails and is ambushed on the way, it's not just a matter of some people dying; it could mean the extinction of the clan and the extinguishing of the civilization."

It will be a long time before the Supernatural Center is actually moved away, but she already has her own ideas.

This was the first time Wang Xuan had heard that the strength of a clan could enhance the cultivation of extraordinary individuals, helping beings at this level to transform and undergo a deeper level of Dao-imperialized.

Although he had never experienced it, he could imagine the final struggle between the various races, the shattering of stars, the explosion of the immortal realm, the various races rushing against the tide, and the scene of countless extraordinary blood staining the universe red.

"Are there people who cultivate themselves without needing the blessings of their clan?" Wang Xuan asked.

As the number one young expert and the most beautiful True Immortal of Black Peacock Sacred Mountain, Luo Ying knew a lot and was one of the future pillars of the Sacred Mountain. She said, "Of course there are, but there should be fewer. After all, every effective path to help a superhuman transform will be used. Those who give up are either from clans that have been wiped out, or from small clans with few members, or they have their own ideas and really want to rely on themselves to get ahead."

Wang Xuan took a sip of wine and said, "Actually, we're all the same. Extraordinary people cultivate to survive and ensure the continuation of their race. Ordinary people work to survive too. Talking about ideals is a bit far-fetched for many people. Let's make sure we survive first, and then see what happens. Dao-imperialized is too difficult."

The wolverine chuckled, "Learn from me: a cup of wine and all sorrows vanish, a long nap and all worries disappear. A brand new day, let go of everything, and look up again. Even though I know perfectly well that someone is trying to harm me, using their unassailable identity to hunt me down, making me an undocumented immigrant, I can still live happily. The starry sky is so brilliant and vast, I can roam freely. What do those people and those petty troubles matter? I have dreams in my heart, what if I become a high-ranking official? Then I'll crush them all!"

The four of them, along with an Alien Heavenly Wolf cub, drank a lot of wine here and left in high spirits.

Late at night, in his room, Wang Xuan's drunkenness dissipated, and he instantly sobered up. The screen of the strange object in the form of a cell phone, which he had sealed within the killing formation diagram, suddenly lit up, giving him a prompt.

"You have a surprise, please check it." On the phone, there was a colorful Light Mist of light. This was not a screen image, but something that appeared in the Real World, forming a small vortex, accompanied by readable floating text.

Surprise my foot! Wang Xuan didn't consider it an auspicious object at all. The Golden Years recorded several beautiful moments of life, and the dead were all more unsettled than the last!

"What's going on? This place is isolated from the outside world, yet it's still like this. Is it connected to somewhere?" Wang Xuan frowned.

The Mechanical Xiao in the array also told Wang Xuan that it had investigated and found no Mysterious Mobile Phone exchanging information with the outside world. Furthermore, with the killing array blocking it, it shouldn't be like this.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy Wang Xuan became. This thing was a bit outrageous. Could it really be entangled with certain places even across the first array diagram?

"You have a surprise, please check it." Outside the phone screen, a vortex of colorful light formed, reminding Wang Xuan again, as if to construct a passage.

"Surprise? I think it's more like a shock!" He picked up the Dao Control Banner and said seriously, "If you dare to mess with me, I'll stab you to death!"

The flagpole was shaped like a spear. Wang Xuan held it in his hand and aimed it directly at the Mysterious Mobile Phone, wanting to pierce the mysterious vortex outside the screen!

"Why don't we click on it and see what the surprise it's talking about is?" the Mechanical Xiao suggested.
