Opening as an Unseen Master!?

Southern Desolate Realm.

On the fringes of the continent, mountains overlap, mountain ranges enclose, and layers of peaks completely trap an entire world within.

Like a solitary island, suspended in the world.

Precisely because of this, this world was named the Southern Desolate Realm.

The people of the world do not know if there are heavens beyond the heavens in the Southern Wasteland, nor has anyone ever passed through the encirclement of these mountains to reach the world outside.

To the people of the Southern Desolate Realm, the vast world within these Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is the only heaven and earth.

Within the territory of the Southern Desolate Realm, spanning a hundred thousand li, five great dynasties stand tall.

These five great dynasties jointly rule the Southern Wasteland world, acting as the common masters of this world, possessing absolute power over life and death for all living beings within the realm.

They hang over the heads of the people like five great mountains.

Even if later generations rise with great power, they have never shaken the rule of the Five Dynasties in the slightest.

In addition to the secular powers of the Five Great Dynasties.

Within the territory of the Southern Desolate Realm, numerous martial cultivation sects also flourish.

Countless martial cultivators within these sects cultivate under the rules established by the Five Great Dynasties and the various sects.

The currently known realms of martial cultivation, from weak to strong, are divided into three tiers: third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate, followed by Houtian, Xiantian, Grandmaster, and Grandmaster, a total of seven major realms, with strict hierarchies that are difficult to overcome.

Third-rate martial artists are the lowest level of martial artists in the Five Great Dynasties, considered to be at the same bottom rung as ordinary citizens.

Most third-rate martial masters can only take on arduous and tiring jobs, such as escorts or constables, where they are driven by others.

As for Grandmasters, these martial artists who stand at the pinnacle of martial cultivation in the Southern Wasteland Region, they are different.

Grandmasters are not only revered by the world, but even royalty and nobility, and sect elders, treat them with respect. They would spare no expense to invite them into their factions to serve as honored guest officials.

Although both are cultivators, their status is as different as heaven and earth.

"It is precisely because of this that the martial cultivators of the Five Great Dynasties desperately try to climb higher."

"Sigh..."

Chu Feng was so tired of reading the same content over and over that he felt like he was going to vomit.

Outside Beili Kingdom, Jiangnan Province, Dongli City, there is a dense forest.

This dense forest is the most famous forest in Dongli City.

The dense forest covers a vast area, encircling Dongli City.

Fierce beasts often roam the outskirts of the dense forest, and ordinary people dare not approach.

Even third-rate martial artists only dare to patrol the outer layers, not daring to venture deep inside.

Precisely because of this, this forest has been neglected for over a decade, becoming a place rarely visited near Dongli City.

And deep within that rarely visited dense forest, a thatched cottage stands abruptly.

Inside the cottage, a young man sat with his legs crossed, flipping through the few books in the room.

Chu Feng closed the book and sighed, walking out of the cottage.

He glanced left and right at the lush, dense forest, his dark pupils filled with a complex, lost expression.

A month ago, he transmigrated to this world. Upon arrival, he unfortunately landed in this uninhabited dense forest.

The forest was teeming with ferocious beasts, with tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves lurking, often moving and howling through the trees.

Especially at night, one only needed to peek their head out to see countless pairs of glowing eyes watching from the darkness.

If he hadn't been fast enough, he would probably have been digested by now and become nourishment for the trees in the forest.

Fortunately, fate did not abandon him. While fleeing, Chu Feng discovered this thatched hut standing in the forest.

Surrounded by trees, it was extremely hidden.

Living in this thatched cottage was initially quite carefree.

After all, wild beasts did not attack, and he could sustain himself with rabbits and pheasants from the forest.

However...

Chu Feng's eyes swept across the relatively wide clearing before him, warily observing his surroundings.

Currently, although it was silent, he knew that those tigers and leopards were hiding in the shadows, waiting for their prey to let down their guard.

If he stepped into the clearing and showed the slightest weakness, he might be killed on the spot by the beasts.

Chu Feng rested his chin on his hand, his expression becoming hesitant. He lowered his head in thought, pacing back and forth with great indecision.

"Should I take the risk?"

"Am I really going to stay alone in this deep mountain forest until I die?"

Although it was safe here, there was nothing else. Not even a single person to talk to.

This was truly unbearable for him, a young man who had transmigrated from the new era.

It was simply boring to death!

Besides the boredom, hunger was also a very serious problem.

After all, pheasants and rabbits weren't available every day, and he couldn't be that lucky every single day.

If he kept waiting by the stump, he'd starve to death here!

As he was lost in thought, he didn't notice a figure slowly emerging from the dense forest behind him.

The young man swallowed, his gaze warily scanning left and right.

He looked around while walking deeper, muttering to himself as if to encourage himself:

"The books say that reclusive experts usually like to live in quiet, secluded mountain forests."

"In the place where an expert lives, fierce beasts dare not approach, and evil disasters cannot invade..."

"As long as I find a reclusive expert..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's steps halted.

He looked forward, and a flicker of excitement suddenly surged in his stunned gaze, his eyes lighting up!

He saw a solitary thatched hut standing in the silent, dense forest.

Then, his gaze shifted downward slightly.

Suddenly, the young man held his breath, too excited to contain himself:

"Found him!"

He saw that below the thatched hut, a youth in a grey robe stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the clouds, his back to him.

The youth wore simple cloth clothes and straw sandals, appearing calm and composed, as if indifferent to everything around him.

He stood there like a thousand-year-old pine tree, detached from the world.

The young man hurriedly took out a yellowed booklet from his waist, his trembling fingers flipping it open. He scanned the book while looking at the youth:

"A solitary house stands in the deep mountain forest."

"He lives alone even in cloth clothes and straw sandals!"

"This is a reclusive expert!"

Living in the mountains, liking seclusion, detached from the world, yet possessing great strength.

This was clearly a forest frequented by fierce beasts, yet no ferocious beasts dared to intrude here.

Every point in the book matched the man before him!

The storybook didn't lie!

There really were reclusive experts in this world!

The young man looked at the youth's back, a fanatical gleam appearing in his eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, he slapped the storybook shut and dropped it.

He changed his demeanor, no longer showing the panic from before. He didn't even care that this was the heart of the dense forest, the most dangerous area described in the book.

In his eyes, only the youth before him remained!

Without any reservations, the young man trotted over to the youth's back.

Before the youth could even turn around, he slid to his knees and bowed, his eyes bright and his expression fervent:

"I am the son of the Lord of Dongli City, Xiao Huohuo!"

"Huohuo greets the reclusive expert! I humbly request, Senior, to take me as your disciple!"
