Within the ruins.
A deep shadow surged from Qin Luo's fingertips, entwining the old man's soul with thin, wispy strands.
The shadow seemed to possess a life of its own, winding along the contours of the soul.
Wherever it passed, the old man's soul, which had originally emitted a faint glow, gradually became shrouded in a dark hue.
Su Muwan watched with great interest from the side, arms crossed: "Tsk tsk tsk, Qin Luo, with skills like yours, one might think you're some kind of villain."
"This ability is too eerie."
Qin Luo remained silent, continuing to corrupt the old man.
The old man's resistance grew weaker, his curses slowly turning into painful moans.
Before long, the once stubborn soul had completely transformed.
Surrounded by a dark aura, his eyes glowed with a crimson light as he bowed slightly to Qin Luo.
Having lost all autonomy, he had become a shadow creature, completely obedient to Qin Luo's commands.
Qin Luo released his grip, gazing at the shadow creature that had lost its will.
Internally, he felt a sense of clarity.
Anyone with low fortune who was turned into shadow would only become such a "shadow slave."
He asked, "You just said..."
"The technique in the jade slip is the key to obtaining the greatest inheritance. What does that mean?"
Upon hearing this, the shadow elder floated up, pointing at the shattered jade slip on the ground, and said, "Reporting to you, my lord."
"The greatest inheritance of the Taigu Xuan Sect... is the Bronze Gate!"
"The technique in that jade slip is the key to entering this realm."
The Bronze Gate?
Qin Luo and Su Muwan exchanged glances.
So that's how it is.
Opening the door requires a key, which makes perfect sense.
Obtaining the Bronze Gate is equivalent to gaining access to this space.
Qin Luo thought, slightly sensing the aura of this realm.
The spiritual energy here is rich, and the soil is fertile.
It is incomparable to the outside world.
To put it simply, this place is like a piece of land from the era of the Xuantian Realm being moved here.
"What a pity..."
The shadow elder sighed, "The jade slip was destroyed, and my soul is no longer pure, so I cannot obtain the authority to access the Bronze Gate."
"Don't worry."
Su Muwan blinked, relieved, and said, "Fortunately, I’ve read many novels and know that any inheritance guarded by someone must be useful."
"So I learned it before it was destroyed."
Shadow Elder: ...
As they spoke, Su Muwan caught Qin Luo's strange gaze and couldn't help but blush, clearing her throat and saying, "Not that it matters if I pretend a little!"
Qin Luo blinked.
Since the young lady said so, what could he do?
Just as he was thinking this, a strange sensation arose in Qin Luo's heart.
This is... someone is coming.
Indeed, many people have chosen to take risks.
Su Muwan also sensed it, as her perception extended throughout the entire ruins.
Wow...
Su Muwan felt a bit speechless; how is Su Bailian here too?
Why is she everywhere?
"Qin Luo, what should we do next?"
Su Muwan asked curiously.
"Well..."
Qin Luo raised his head to look at the bright sky above the ruins.
He extended his hand.
"Then let's start by transforming this place."
"For our convenience."
Saying this, he snapped his fingers.
【Shadow Domain】! Activated!
In an instant, a rich, almost tangible shadow power surged outwards like a tidal wave from Qin Luo's center.
The darkness swallowed all light like a monstrous maw, swiftly devouring the brightness around it. The once-luminous sky was instantly shrouded.
The entire ruins plunged into deep obscurity, leaving only eerie flickers of shadowy light dancing in the void.
Within the shadowy domain, Qin Luo closed his eyes slightly.
Opportunities, legacies, the environment, living beings—
Everything was sensed by Qin Luo.
However...
What the young mistress could achieve with just a thought,
He still needed to activate his domain to accomplish.
Truly, the young mistress was on another level. He was still too weak.
Tsk...
Seems like he lacked sufficient authority to reshape this place as his own.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Su Muwan with a smile. "Young Mistress, let’s go. We should claim the greatest legacy of the Taigu Xuan Sect first."
"Ah, right."
Soon after,
The two arrived inside a dilapidated grand hall.
Before them hovered a glowing white pearl.
[Taixuan Pearl]: Nurtures the soul, allowing it to dwell within. Also serves as the key to unlocking the Bronze Gate.
Note: Can only be activated using the Taigu Xuantian Art.
Qin Luo grasped the pearl. To possess it was to claim the entire Taigu Xuan Sect.
The Taigu Xuantian Art, the Taixuan Pearl, and the Bronze Gate—none could be missing.
So that’s how it is.
Qin Luo murmured, "This is the greatest opportunity within these ruins."
A vast, spirit-rich space, untouched by others.
He could sense it—he was now the master of this domain.
Su Muwan blinked curiously and reached out to touch the Taixuan Pearl.
But—
Zap!
A surge of electricity repelled her hand.
She immediately pouted. "Hey!"
"It’s my technique! I found the pearl!"
"And now I can’t even touch it? What kind of nonsense is this?!"
She flailed her hand indignantly.
Qin Luo chuckled. "What’s mine is yours, Young Mistress."
"Once everything is settled, you can remodel this place however you like."
Su Muwan’s mood instantly brightened. She grinned. "Then I’m turning part of it into a shark tank to raise little sharks!"
"Sure, sure."
She really does love sharks, huh...
With that thought, Qin Luo closed his eyes again, attuning himself to the surroundings.
Once he sensed that all the "actors" had taken their positions,
He opened his eyes and said to Su Muwan, "Young Mistress, join the team voice chat."
"Time to enjoy the show."
Team voice chat?
Su Muwan tilted her head in confusion.
What’s that supposed to mean?
......
......
Meanwhile—
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!
As more and more people entered the ruins, they were all stunned by the sight before them.
The darkness was thick as ink, dense enough to clutch in one’s palm, smothering the entire Taigu Xuan Sect ruins.
Wispy shadows, like restless specters, drifted and weaved through the air.
Occasionally, they brushed against faces, sending chills down spines and making hairs stand on end.
Some of the more timid martial artists trembled, their teeth chattering. "W-what kind of cursed place is this?"
"Is this really the inside of the ruins?!"
A man ahead stood frozen, his face pale as he muttered, "No."
"It was bright just moments ago—then in a blink, it turned into this hellish nightmare!"
Before he could finish speaking, a shadowy creature darted past his feet, startling him so badly he nearly collapsed.
The surrounding companions hurriedly steadied him, but their eyes were also filled with panic and fear.
Chu Yu and the others from the Taichu Holy Land were also trapped within this darkness.
Frowning, Chu Yu attempted to summon her spiritual energy to illuminate the surroundings, but the light was instantly devoured by the endless shadows, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.
Her gaze darkened.
Something was wrong—this was very wrong.
In her previous life, the ruins of the Taigu Xuan Sect had never been like this.
Could it be...
Chu Yu murmured to herself, "Is this the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. 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. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe.
