Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

In the void, Li Xiaoyao waited quietly.

Time passed slowly, and he didn't know how much time had gone by. Perhaps only an incense stick's time had elapsed, or perhaps several hours had passed.

In this silent void, the passage of time becomes blurred.

suddenly--

He froze.

Seven auras appeared around him simultaneously.

Without any warning, without any disturbance, the void, which was empty a moment ago, suddenly had seven figures appear.

With Li Xiaoyao's initial stage of Purple Mansion divine sense, he was completely unaware of how they arrived.

He instinctively took a half step back, and then saw who it was.

The person at the forefront had a gentle face and an aura as deep as the abyss; it was none other than True Monarch Minghuang—the late-stage Golden Core cultivator who single-handedly suppressed the Dark Abyss Demon Lord during the Battle of the Demon Ruins.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on that plane.

Beside him stood the True Lord of Mount Taiyue.

Behind Taiyue, there were four True Lords, positioned in the four directions, each with a different aura—

A person surrounded by water vapor, as if carrying a vast ocean, this is "True Lord Cangyuan", the rightful holder of the Kan Water Dao position.

A person surrounded by lush vegetation, full of vitality, is "Qingyi Zhenjun", the rightful holder of the True Wood Dao Fruit Position.

One person exuded an aura as intense as fire, with faint phantom flames flickering around his body. This was "True Lord Blazing Flame," a true master of the True Fire Dao.

One man was sharp as a knife, and wherever his gaze fell, even the void seemed to be sliced ​​apart. This was "True Lord of the Sword Blade," a righteous position in the Kujin Dao Sect.

The last person, shrouded in faint fluctuations of time, held an ancient bronze mirror. He was the "True Lord of Time" of the Celestial Lineage, and the treasure map in his hand was the immortal artifact [White Horse Tracing the Light Map].

Seven True Lords.

One late-stage Golden Core cultivator at the peak, and six mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.

Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and bowed deeply: "Junior Shangyuan greets all True Lords."

True Lord Minghuang nodded slightly and said gently, "Young friend Shangyuan, there's no need for such formalities. Please recount what you saw in detail."

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath and recounted everything he had seen—the apes standing upright, building houses, using tools, recognizing Chinese characters, practicing martial arts, controlling water and breathing fire, and the strongest ape's aura approaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

"...This junior suspects that there are extraterrestrials interfering in this world, and there must be some ulterior motive behind it."

After listening, True Monarch Minghuang nodded.

"Just as we predicted when we arrived." He looked at the other six True Lords. "Proceed according to plan."

The six True Lords nodded in unison.

The next moment—

The five figures vanished simultaneously.

Li Xiaoyao felt a blur before his eyes, and when he focused his mind again, the five True Lords, Cangyuan, Qingyi, Chiyan, Jiafeng, and Taiyue, had already appeared in the five directions of that demiplane—east, south, west, north, and center.

All five people raised their hands at the same time.

Five-colored light surged from their palms, transforming into five lines of law that instantly pierced through the void, enveloping the entire demiplane.

The power of the five elements intertwined and circulated, forming a huge light shield that completely sealed off that dimension.

The Great Five Elements Annihilation Formation.

Li Xiaoyao was mesmerized by what he saw.

What a feat! Five Golden Core True Monarchs at the highest level have joined forces to set up an array that seals the heavens and earth, so that even if there are Golden Core level beings inside, they will not be able to escape.

The Time Lord also moved.

He tossed it with his hand, and the painting "White Horse Tracing the Light" hung in the air, suddenly magnified.

A phantom river surged forth from the painting, vast and boundless, instantly filling the vast expanse of space.

That long river, though seemingly slow, actually contains the immense power of time, completely enveloping this land.

The long river of time obscures the secrets of heaven and seals off time and space.

From then on, it was no longer possible to escape from the void or to try to go against the flow of time.

Finally, True Monarch Minghuang made his move.

He raised his hand, and an ancient seal emerged from his palm—the Primordial Boundary-Suppressing Seal.

The seal trembled slightly, and an invisible wave spread out, disappearing directly into that demiplane.

Li Xiaoyao vaguely sensed that the will of Heaven in that dimension seemed to tremble for a moment before falling silent and becoming completely still.

Suppressing the Heavenly Way.

With the seven True Lords joining forces, they completely took control of a demiplane from top to bottom, from the void to the River of Time, in just a few breaths.

Li Xiaoyao broke out in a cold sweat.

This is the true strength of the Immortal Sect.

"Young friend from Shangyuan."

Suddenly, the voice of True Lord Minghuang rang in his heart—it was a telepathic transmission.

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback and looked at True Monarch Minghuang.

True Monarch Minghuang didn't look at him, remaining standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sealed plane. But his voice continued in Li Xiaoyao's heart:

"There's something I need you to do next."

Li Xiaoyao composed himself and replied telepathically, "Please speak, True Lord."

"We need to confirm the origins of that time traveler."

Minghuang Zhenjun said, "Send a wisp of your divine thought, transform it into an ape avatar, enter that tribe, and meet him as a fellow villager."

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Fellow villager?"

"Yes." True Monarch Minghuang's voice remained calm. "Find out whether he has a system, a Paradise Mark, or any kind of Reincarnation Mark."

"If he is just an ordinary person who has traveled from another universe, then let him open his mind and let you explore him."

"If he refuses..."

Minghuang Zhenjun paused, his tone remaining calm, but Li Xiaoyao detected a hint of coldness in it:

"I will take action."

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then nodded: "This junior understands."

Just as he was about to act, he suddenly froze.

Minghuang Zhenjun said... Fellow villager?

He suddenly looked up at True Lord Minghuang.

This True Monarch, at the peak of the late Golden Core stage, was also looking at him at this moment, with a faint smile on his lips.

That smile sent a chill down Li Xiaoyao's spine.

"True Lord...you..."

The voice of True Lord Minghuang resounded in his heart again, this time with a hint of teasing:

"Don't panic, and don't be afraid."

"The Immortal Sect treats transmigrators in two ways."

Li Xiaoyao's heart pounded like a drum, but he had no choice but to listen.

"One type is a reincarnator who possesses a system, or carries the imprint of some kind of paradise, world, destroyer, or multiverse."

True Monarch Minghuang said slowly, "These kinds of people often have powerful forces behind them, and their arrival must have a purpose."

"The Immortal Sect's policy toward such people is—better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

Li Xiaoyao swallowed.

"The other type is like you."

Minghuang Zhenjun looked at him with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "An innocent transmigrator. After transmigrating, he had nothing and completely integrated into the local Heavenly Dao."

"Compared to them, you only have some memories of your past life, and..."

He paused:

"There is also a trace of a law from beyond the heavens."

"Otherwise, what makes you think your Rainbow Cloud Dao lineage can prove supernatural powers out of thin air?"

Li Xiaoyao was completely stunned.

The Void Proof Divine Power... is it because of that Dao Mark?

True Monarch Minghuang continued, "Don't worry, the Immortal Sect treats transmigrators like you very kindly."

"As long as you don't indiscriminately kill innocent people and cause chaos in the heavens, even if you cultivate the demonic path and kill hundreds of thousands of evil demons, heretics, monsters, and natives every day, the immortal sects will praise you for killing well and killing brilliantly."

"In short, don't feel any pressure. The Immortal Sect won't do anything to you."

He smiled slightly, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:

"With your potential to attain enlightenment through the Great Dao, and without competing with others for a position, the Immortal Sect is more than happy for you to succeed."

"Your success is a tremendous boon to all the younger generations—it opens up new paths for us to follow."

Li Xiaoyao remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

It turns out that the Immortal Sect already knew he was a time traveler.

It turns out that he thought he was hiding it well, but he had always been under the watchful eyes of others.

But the Immortal Sect didn't harm him; instead, they supported him all the way...

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to True Lord Minghuang.

"This junior... understands."

True Monarch Minghuang nodded: "Go. That time traveler is in your hands."

Li Xiaoyao nodded emphatically, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

A moment later, a faint divine thought separated from his brow and quietly disappeared into that dimension.
