Clan Cultivation: Starting from Foundation Establishment on Mount Luoxia

Li Xiaoyao frowned: "The Paradise of All Heavens?"

"A mysterious force that spans all the heavens," said the Time Lord. "They specialize in deploying systems and reincarnation marks in various universes to select suitable candidates and pull them into their paradise."

"As for what's inside the park, that person doesn't know either—he's just been marked, he hasn't actually been inside yet."

True Monarch Minghuang looked at Li Xiaoyao, his gaze profound:

"Young friend Shangyuan, you need to decide for yourself whether to accept what I'm about to say."

Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please speak, True Lord."

"We want you to take that person's place and enter Paradise."

Li Xiaoyao was stunned.

"That person's system has been completely reset by Fellow Daoist Shixu using the [White Horse Tracing the Light Diagram]."

True Monarch Minghuang slowly said, "In that system now, there are no backdoors to the Paradise of All Heavens. Instead, we have planted a tracking restriction on it. It is like a brand new blank sheet of paper, just waiting for an owner."

"And you are the most suitable candidate."

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath and tried to process the information.

"Is this junior...suitable?"

"That's appropriate." True Monarch Shixu took over the conversation. "The Immortal Sect has dealt with the Paradise of All Heavens before and has some understanding of their operating model."

"Everyone who enters the park will be assigned an identity, and that identity can be anyone—as long as the system approves it."

"That person's system has been reset and is now unclaimed. As long as you probe it with your divine sense, it will recognize you as its master. From that moment on, you will be the chosen transmigrator of Paradise."

Li Xiaoyao remained silent for a long time.

This is an undercover mission.

Delve into that mysterious "Paradise of the Gods," investigate its secrets, and figure out what it really wants to do.

He didn't know how great the risk was.

But since the Immortal Sect chose him, there must be a reason for it.

"I have a question," he looked up, "why me?"

True Lord Minghuang smiled slightly:

"First, you are a time traveler, so you have a natural ability to adapt to the process of time travel itself."

"Secondly, you cultivate the Rainbow Void Proof, which has unique Dao traces that are not easily detected by the rules of the Paradise."

"third……"

He paused, his gaze carrying a deeper meaning:

"You've already met that time traveler, and you even used your ape avatar to contact him."

"Your spiritual fluctuations indicate that you have interacted with that person's system. This will make the system more receptive to you."

Li Xiaoyao nodded.

"What about the deadline?"

"Indefinitely," said True Lord Minghuang. "After you enter Paradise, our contact may be lost. But whenever you have the chance, you must find a way to send a message back."

"If faced with unbearable danger, prioritize survival—the mission can fail, but people cannot die."

Li Xiaoyao remained silent for a moment, then finally stood up and bowed deeply.

"This junior is willing to go."

.......

Three days later, at the Astronomical Observatory.

The Time Lord held the "White Horse Tracing the Light" scroll in his hand. The scroll hung in mid-air, emitting a faint ripple of light and time.

Beneath the painting, a soft ball of light floats—it is the system that has been reset.

"Are you ready?" asked the Time Lord.

Li Xiaoyao nodded.

"Open your mind and let your divine sense explore it."

The Time Lord said, "It will recognize you as its master and then lead you into that so-called paradise. Remember, once inside, everything will depend on yourself."

Li Xiaoyao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and extended his divine sense.

The moment his divine sense touched that ball of light, a mysterious connection formed within him. Then, his vision blurred—

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind:

[Host detected... Binding in progress... Binding successful.]

Welcome to the Paradise of the Gods.

[Assigning you an initial identity...]

Allocation complete.

[Entering the beginner world soon, countdown: ten, nine, eight...]

Li Xiaoyao took one last look at the Time Lord in front of him and saw the Lord nod slightly to him.

Then, a flash of light.

Li Xiaoyao's vision blurred.

His figure disappeared into the Astronomical Observatory.

The next instant, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar space.

No, that's not right.

He didn't arrive at any so-called "paradise," but was instead transported directly to an unfamiliar dimension.

The surroundings were dimly lit, and the air was filled with a musty smell. The faint sound of dripping water could also be heard.

Li Xiaoyao did not move.

He lay on the ground, maintaining the posture from which he had been teleported, while his divine sense instantly spread out, silently sweeping across the surroundings.

There were fourteen people lying on the ground, plus him, making a total of fifteen.

Three of them were noticeably more composed than the others. Although they were also feigning unconsciousness, there was a faint, unfamiliar power flowing within them—similar to the cultivation level of the mid-stage Qi Refining Realm.

The other eleven, including himself, were just ordinary people.

No, he himself was no ordinary person, but at this moment his aura had been perfectly concealed, making him appear to be an ordinary person with no cultivation.

While observing with his divine sense, Li Xiaoyao quickly scanned the surrounding world.

This is a modern world.

No, it's...

His divine sense penetrated the building, allowing him to see the streets, houses, and vehicles outside—modern, yet exuding an indescribable chill.

Then he saw the sign hanging at the entrance of the building.

Japanese.

But he knew it. It was all thanks to his trip to a small island nation in his previous life, during which he had also diligently studied Japanese for a period of time.

"Residential buildings near the well...old neighborhood..."

Li Xiaoyao's pupils contracted slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he used his divine sense to penetrate deep into the building and saw the well.

A dry well.

The wellhead was covered by a huge rock, which was covered with densely packed talismans. Although the talismans were crudely drawn, they did contain faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Sadako?!

This is the world of Sadako.

A million grass mud horses galloped through Li Xiaoyao's mind.

The first beginner world is Sadako?

He quickly withdrew his divine sense, and at the same time, with a thought, his clothes instantly changed—the Taoist robe disappeared, replaced by an ordinary black hoodie and jeans, with a pair of sneakers on his feet.

His hairstyle also changed to a regular short haircut, making him look like an ordinary young man in his early twenties.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

After doing all this, he lay flat again, pretending to be unconscious.

"Well……"

Someone nearby made a groan.

One by one, the eleven people began to wake up. Some sat up blankly, some looked around in fear, and some were still in a daze.

Li Xiaoyao also opened his eyes at the opportune moment, rubbed his temples, and pretended to have just woken up.

"Where is this?"

"How did I get here?"

Is anyone there?

Amid the noise, the three people who had been pretending to be unconscious also "woke up".

One of the men, a man in his thirties, stood up, glanced at the crowd, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Are they all awake?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. The noise gradually subsided, and everyone looked at him.

The man was accompanied by two other people, a man and a woman, both in their twenties, with indifferent expressions.

"Newbie," the man said, a hint of mockery in his voice. "First time at the amusement park, huh?"

Some nodded blankly, while others retreated in fear.

"Don't be afraid, let me finish." The man raised his hand and gestured. "My name is Zhou Hu, and these two are my teammates, Zhang Lei and Li Wei. We are the veterans who are guiding you newcomers this time."

"First rule for beginners—"

He held up one finger. "Here, the system is the only thing you can trust. Now, silently say 'system' in your mind, and you will see your own panel."

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone tried reciting it silently, and then exclaimed in surprise, "It really...it really exists!"

Li Xiaoyao also pretended to chant silently, and sure enough, a phantom light screen appeared before his eyes—
