World of Longevity

Ink-black clouds rolled, the world was instantly dark, as an endless darkness descended, like the curtain of death falling down, chillingly terrifying energy suddenly permeated between heaven and earth.

In the rolling death clouds, an imposing ancient castle appeared vaguely on the horizon, blood waves surged from the castle reaching to the sky, shining an appalling red amongst the black clouds. The world was eerily silent, without a sound, as quiet as death.

The ancient castle was filled with the vicissitudes of time, as if it had cut through time and space from the distant past. It was like a death vortex, enveloped in the endless death energy from all directions, which began to slowly gather towards it. The rolling black clouds were gradually swallowed up by it.

The black fog gradually disappeared, but high above, the ancient gloomy castle was even more terrifying, surrounded by endless skeletons, forming a vast sea of death bones. The chilling ancient castle stood above the skeletal sea, with an unspeakable horror and deathly silence.

Several gray-winged, human-shaped skeletons flew out from the castle, their endless death energy enveloped the solitary island deep beneath the sea.

This was a solitary island deep in the vast sea.

Above the island, primordial forests covered ninety percent of the area. Ancient trees reached the sky, shielding the sun. Ferocious beasts roared and ran amuck, bringing a feeling of primitive times.

However, at this moment, an extremely cold and chilling death energy descended from the distant sky, and the island, which was once filled with the roars of barbarian beasts, gradually quieted down.

In the depths of the island, there seemed to be some primordial ancient beasts, occasionally roaring in anger. Other than that, there was silence between heaven and earth!

Xiao Chen, who was unconscious on the beach of the island, seemed to feel the piercing cold and his body unconsciously shivered a few times.

After a long time, the ghastly death energy slowly retreated, the vast white bone sea in the distant sky, carrying the ancient castle, gradually disappeared in the endless sea above.

Only then did life slowly return to the world, dozens of beast roars like dragons echoed from the depths of the island, and the island gradually regained its vitality.

In the scorching sun, Xiao Chen woke up from his coma after an unknown amount of time. The sound of waves reached his ears. He opened his eyes slowly to see the azure sea undulating in front of him. At that moment, he was lying on the scorching golden beach.

The hot sun made Xiao Chen feel dizzy and his body was in extreme pain. His mouth was dry, and his lips were cracked. He made an effort to sit up and began looking around the unfamiliar environment.

The hot wind carried the salty smell of the sea, flocks of seabirds were soaring above the azure sea, and occasionally, huge fishes jumped out of the sea, stirring up big waves.

The roar of various ferocious beasts in the depths of the island was deafening, Xiao Chen felt as if he had returned to the Primordial Era!

The green coconut grove along the coastline cast a cool shadow on the ground. The ripe coconut fruits had fallen down and were rolling plumply on the ground. Under the green leaves, they looked especially tempting.

His parched mouth seemed to produce some saliva as Xiao Chen laboriously stood up and staggered forward.

The scorching sun was blocked and the burning sensation finally disappeared.

A gentle sea breeze blew, the green palm leaves swayed, and Xiao Chen finally felt a bit of coolness.

Ripe coconuts were continuously falling to the ground with a "thud" sound.

It felt like a fire was jumping in his throat, and smoke seemed to be coming out of his mouth. Xiao Chen was extremely thirsty. He was covered in wounds and was stumbling along. He picked up a pile of coconuts, and then fell onto the ground with a thud.

He cracked open a coconut with his Yuan Qi and swallowed the sweet and delicious coconut water in big gulps. This feeling was simply wonderful. For the thirst-ridden Xiao Chen, the coconut water was truly like a divine nectar.

He had actually arrived in the World of Longevity!

Xiao Chen's mind was filled with thoughts, where was Lanno? And those famous people from ancient times, were they really living in this world? He was full of questions. Of course, he didn't know that the Royal Celestial Maiden Zhao Lin'er had also entered this space.

In the end, he silently knelt on the ground, bidding his parents farewell across time and space, from now on heaven and earth would be forever separated!

He was a man of decisive action, forcing himself to pull himself together and began thinking about how to survive in this unfamiliar world.

Sitting quietly on the sand, leaning against a thick coconut tree, Xiao Chen's body shimmered with a crystal light. His body seemed to be enveloped by a hazy radiance, heavenly and earthly essences constantly converged towards him. The spiritual energy in the coconut grove was dense, and there was a faint glow rotating in the distance.

The roar of beasts was constant, this place was not a pure land, his first task now was to heal his body as soon as possible. Xiao Chen circulated his cultivation method, leading the energy of the plants, and began to heal himself.

His cultivation method originated from a mysterious stone carving.

He grew up beside the Yellow River from a young age. At the age of seven, a rare drought occurred unexpectedly. The river near the village had almost dried up, revealing a huge monument. After the mud was cleaned off, the front of the monument was engraved with four ancient characters: Forever Guarding Yellow River!

It had always been passed down along the banks of the Yellow River that at the time of Yu the Great controlling the water, a divine monument had descended from the nine heavens and was forever lodged in the middle of the Yellow River to ensure there would be no recurring floods.

Therefore, when the monument emerged from the bottom of the Yellow River, the villagers immediately thought of the legendary God Monument, cleaned off the mud from the monument, and worshipped it day and night.

After it was cleaned, the back of the monument also showed engravings, which was a mysterious and complex diagram. The villagers couldn't understand it and took it as a Heavenly Book.

The story of the "Heavenly Book" filled young Xiao Chen with endless fantasies. Every day he would stare at the monument in a daze until two months later, continuous heavy rain caused the Yellow River to rise and the monument sunk into the river forever.

However, by the time the mysterious and complex carving had already been deeply imprinted in the mind of young Xiao Chen. Later, when he began to learn martial arts and embarked on the path of cultivation, he understood what the complex engraving was!

It was a mysterious and ancient Heavenly-gifted Qi Refining Diagram!

Xiao Chen did not know whether the mysterious stone carving could compare with those legendary Heaven Skill Treasure Books. He began to persistently cultivate from the age of ten and continued for the next ten years. He kept learning skills from others, but he never changed his mental method.
