Two almost identical names appeared side by side on the phone screen.
Ye Chuan stared at [Old Tianxuan Continent] for a moment, then reached out and tapped it.
A new prompt quickly popped up—
[Valid space-time anchor detected: Black Abyss.]
[Successfully located target timeline.]
[Number of tenants that can be brought on adventure: Two.]
[Only tenant identities can enter the target world through the Ten Thousand Worlds Landlord App.]
Can bring two people on an adventure?
Ye Chuan turned his head and glanced at the people in the room, quickly sifting through his options.
Luo Xi was ruled out first.
She lived in the apartment but wasn’t recognized as an official tenant by the app.
As for Qianshuang...
She often had to go to the normal timeline’s Tianxuan Continent to handle matters left over from her sect and the Emperor Seal legacy. If the two Tianxuan Continents were connected in any way, bringing her along rashly might cause unnecessary trouble.
Ye Chuan thought for a moment, then his gaze slowly settled on Lan Xiaoke.
She was still sitting by the table, with milk dripping onto the floor.
She noticed Ye Chuan looking at her and immediately raised her head.
"Hm? What’s up?"
Ye Chuan felt that aside from eating, sleeping, and playing games, Lan Xiaoke never really did anything productive on her own. But she had basically positioned herself as a pet, without any grand ambitions.
It might be a good idea to bring her along anyway—he needed a cup holder.
"Xiaoke, you’re coming with me somewhere."
"Where?"
"The old Tianxuan Continent."
"Going out to play?" Lan Xiaoke scratched her head.
"Something like that."
"Can I not go?"
"No."
The first spot was decided.
As for the remaining candidate, Ye Chuan thought it over and finally turned his gaze to the other side of the living room.
Hu Li was leaning by the window, quietly grooming her soft fox tail.
She seemed to sense Ye Chuan’s gaze. Her ears twitched slightly as she lifted her head.
"Boss? What is it?"
Ye Chuan asked, "There’s a new world—also the Tianxuan Continent. Want to go?"
Hu Li nodded immediately. "Yes, as long as I’m by the boss’s side! I’ll go!"
"See how obedient Hu Li is," Ye Chuan said to Lan Xiaoke. "Only you laze around all day."
Lan Xiaoke pouted.
Who’s lazy? Didn’t I put in plenty of effort when playing games with you?
With the two spots confirmed, the Ten Thousand Worlds Landlord App quickly updated.
[Tenants joining this trip: Lan Xiaoke, Hu Li.]
[Proceed to enter Tianxuan Continent·Old?]
Engage!
Old Tianxuan Continent, engaging!
Ye Chuan pressed confirm.
...
Tianxuan Continent·Old.
Green Mountain Town.
The noon sun poured down between the clouds, shining on the rolling green mountains. Thick spiritual energy, like mist, swirled between heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy here was too dense.
Even with ordinary breathing, one could feel massive amounts of spiritual energy flowing in through the nose and mouth, slowly nourishing flesh, blood, and meridians.
Though Green Mountain Town was called a town, it was larger than most ordinary cities.
The streets were paved with blue stone, crisscrossing in every direction. On both sides, wine houses, alchemy shops, magic artifact stores, and spirit beast trading stalls stretched endlessly out of sight.
The streets were packed with people.
Some wore coarse cotton shirts and carried demon beast carcasses freshly hunted from the mountains.
Others, wearing ornate magical robes with storage pouches hanging from their waists, walked past with several massive spirit beasts trailing behind them.
The sky was even more lively.
Flying swords streaked beneath the clouds, trailing long arcs of light, with cultivators of all kinds standing atop them.
Some rode gourds.
Some stepped on feathered fans.
There were even a few cultivators riding a giant golden carp, drifting slowly over Green Mountain Town from above.
When Ye Chuan and the others opened their eyes, they found themselves in this very town.
"Huh? Such abundant spiritual energy? This is..." Ye Chuan frowned slightly, a little surprised.
Had he entered some kind of secret realm?
But looking around, it was clearly just a town.
Was the Tianxuan Continent of the past actually...
"Everyone here can fly?" Lan Xiaoke lifted her head, watching people zooming around in the sky, and couldn’t help commenting.
Ye Chuan: "..."
In a cultivation world, it was normal for people to fly, right?
Hu Li, standing nearby, swept her gaze over the passersby, her expression turning more serious.
"The spiritual energy here is at least a hundred times stronger than in the current Tianxuan Continent."
Ye Chuan had already noticed this.
This so-called "old" world was clearly set during the most prosperous era of the Tianxuan Continent.
Or... no?
A random street vendor in town had the cultivation level of the Enlightenment Realm.
And occasionally, figures passing overhead had clearly reached the Ascension Realm.
In the current Tianxuan Continent, such beings would have been great powers secluded in sacred lands. Here, they were just ordinary passersby?
No way, was this for real?
On both sides of the street, all sorts of hawking voices rang out.
"Poly-Spirit Pill, with complete pill patterns! Fake and I’ll pay you tenfold!"
"Fresh Ascension Realm Flame Pattern Tiger just hunted from Black Wind Ridge! Monster core, bones, and tiger dick all sold separately!"
"Sky Sword Sect recruitment for outer disciples! Those under eighteen with Enlightenment Realm cultivation or possessing a spirit root are welcome to sign up!"
Ye Chuan released his spiritual sense and was immediately stunned.
Originally, his spiritual sense could cover the entire continent. But this one seemed incredibly vast—his senses couldn’t even reach the edge, and at the borders, some kind of barrier blocked them.
A continent larger than... a star system?!
Was this...
The old Tianxuan Continent?
A realization dawned on Ye Chuan.
If that was true, then the old Tianxuan Continent was countless times larger than the one he had known!
Meanwhile, Lan Xiaoke was looking around, soon drawn to a stall selling spirit fruits.
The stall was piled high with all kinds of brightly colored fruits, each exuding faint spiritual energy.
She walked over and picked up a purple spirit fruit.
"How much is this?"
The stall owner, a middle-aged cultivator with a beard, glanced at the three of them and smiled. "Purple Spirit Fruit. Three low-grade spirit stones each."
Lan Xiaoke heard that, then turned to look at Ye Chuan.
"I don’t have any money."
Ye Chuan took some spirit stones from his spatial backpack and tossed them to the stall owner. Then he stuffed the purple spirit fruit into Lan Xiaoke’s mouth.
"Good," Lan Xiaoke said with a grin.
"You have some too," Ye Chuan said, handing one to Hu Li.
"Thanks, boss~" Hu Li took a satisfied bite.
But the stall owner’s face changed drastically the moment he examined Ye Chuan’s spirit stones. "What kind of spirit stones are these?! These are just ordinary rocks picked up from the roadside!"
"You trying to rip me off?!"
The stall owner stood up abruptly, glaring at Ye Chuan and his companions.
Rip him off?
Ye Chuan was taken aback. These were clearly low-grade spirit stones, weren’t they?
"Apologies. I didn’t mean to cheat you. Aren’t these low-grade spirit stones?"
"Hah, are you messing with me? These are just common rocks!" Seeing the confusion on Ye Chuan’s face, the stall owner pulled out a real spirit stone. "This is a low-grade spirit stone!"
A stone pulsating with immense spiritual energy appeared in his hand. Ye Chuan was stunned after seeing it. "..."
This...
It had more spiritual energy than even the spirit crystals of the Tianxuan Continent. Good grief.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan, with his golden finger, is reborn and returns to the day of his wedding to the treacherous woman. Su Qiang comes to steal the bride.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
