[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Age: 22]

[Cultivation Technique: Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill, Void Shattering Saber Scripture (38012/50000, Entering the Stance)]

[Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill, Circulation Star Breathing Method (Void Breaking) (1023/10000, Great Success)]

[Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill, Profound Yuan Undying Body (40181/50000, Entering the Stance)]

[Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill, Breaking Army Prison Suppression Fist (10215/50000, Entering the Stance)]

[Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill, Sky-Piercing Arrow Skill (31940/50000, Entering the Stance)]

Looking at the data that appeared before him, Lu Yuan took a deep breath. After reaching the Ninth-Grade Cultivation Skill level, gaining Skill Level had become much more difficult than before. Still, after a year of effort, he had finally brought all of them to the Entering the Stance stage.

’At the very least, I won’t be weaker than the other Loose Cultivators nearby.’

When he arrived, Lu Yuan had not only asked Xiao Gu about this world but had also inquired about Cultivation Techniques.

According to Xiao Gu, the Cultivation Techniques here were called Mysterious Skills. They were also graded from First to Ninth Grade, with First-Grade Mysterious Skills being the lowest and Ninth-Grade Mysterious Skills being the highest.

Mysterious Skills could make one’s attacks much more powerful.

This was a fundamental difference from the Cultivation Techniques he had practiced in the past.

It was no exaggeration to say that a Sect Disciple who practiced a First-Grade Mysterious Skill, even if they were only at the Earth Immortal Realm, could suppress a Void Breaking Loose Cultivator from outside the city.

And such incidents had happened more than once.

Therefore, in this place, the status of a Sect Disciple was far nobler than that of a Loose Cultivator from outside the city.

As for the cultivation realms above Void Breaking, from lowest to highest, there were Transcendence, True Spirit, Profound Body, Ancient, Inscriptions, and Immortal...

After reaching the Immortal realm, one could dominate a region and be considered an expert, even in this great world.

But at these levels, breaking through to the next realm was measured in millennia. The higher one went, the longer it took.

Even at the Void Breaking Realm, one’s lifespan was merely five thousand years.

Once they reached their limit, they could only await the onset of the Celestial Person’s Five Declines.

Many people, lacking a Mysterious Skill, could not advance. Even after cultivating for several thousand years, they remained unable to break through.

Examples like this were everywhere.

’So, if I want to become stronger, I still have to cultivate diligently.’

Only after reaching the Ancient Realm would the body undergo another qualitative transformation, extending one’s lifespan to ten thousand years. Only then would some Cultivators finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But even then, they dared not relax.

After all, while only the Inscriptions realm seemed to separate the Ancient and Immortal realms, the gap between them was like a great chasm, cutting off the path to Immortality for countless people.

’Cultivation is a path that defies the heavens. Once you set foot on it, there’s no turning back.’

Lu Yuan was fortunate. Not only could he grind his Skill Level, but he could also upgrade his Cultivation Techniques. This meant his path upward would not be cut off.

’As for joining a Sect, for now, I can only dream about it.’

’The most important thing right now is to survive in this great world.’

"CREAK!"

Just as these thoughts crossed Lu Yuan’s mind, the courtyard gate opened and was quickly shut.

The woman from the Xiao Clan had returned.

The sky had not yet truly darkened, but at this hour, it was already time for people in some areas to head home.

After all, everyone knew how chaotic it was outside the city. If they waited until after dark to return, there was a real fear of something happening.

As the woman from the Xiao Clan stepped through the door, she first saw the woman from the Lu Clan who had come out to greet her. "You’re here too, sister?" she asked in pleasant surprise.

Then she turned her head. "Yuan, Hongling."

"Mother."

"Your Majesty."

Lu Yuan and Zhou Hongling immediately stepped forward.

The woman from the Xiao Clan pulled Zhou Hongling close. "You silly child, where are we now that you’re still calling me ’Your Majesty’? If you don’t mind, just call me ’Mother’ from now on, like Yuan and the others."

"You have no other family here besides us. From now on, I’ll be your mother."

"Yes!" Zhou Hongling replied, her eyes immediately turning red.

There’s a saying that a wife follows her husband, but after teleporting to this great world with Lu Yuan, she didn’t know if she would ever have the chance to see her family again.

"I knew you were all coming today, so I prepared a few things. We’ll celebrate a little later." After speaking, the woman from the Xiao Clan pulled the woman from the Lu Clan into the house and took out a large bundle of chopped meat from a cabinet.

"This is offal from the Demon Race. Even for those in the Void Breaking Realm, eating it has its benefits. I couldn’t afford a proper cut of meat, so we’ll have to make do with this."

The woman from the Xiao Clan said with a smile, but she didn’t mention that she had sold almost everything she brought with her in her Storage Ring just to afford this bundle of meat.

In the hearts of all members of the Human Race, a family reunion always called for a proper meal.

In the past, as Lu Yuan and the others’ cultivation improved, they no longer needed to eat. Most ingredients had ceased to have any effect on their cultivation progress.

But even so, they would still prepare delicious food and drink some wine to liven up happy occasions.

After all, it was a habit of many years and difficult to change.

Now, in this great world, there were plenty of ingredients that were beneficial for cultivation.

So for a gathering now, it was even more of a reason to bring out some good food and wine to enjoy together.

"Let me cook. I learned how to handle this kind of thing back home," the woman from the Lu Clan said with a cheerful laugh.

She didn’t seem to mind at all.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then, sister. I’ll make a few cold side dishes," the woman from the Xiao Clan said softly.

As for Xiao Hua and Hongling, they helped out on the side.

Although it seemed the family had returned to their poor and humble past, their smiles were more frequent, and the atmosphere felt even warmer.

"CREAK!"

Just then, the courtyard gate was pushed open again.

It was Xiao Gu, walking in with his son, carrying a large jar of wine. Following behind him were Xiao Ku, Xiao Mie, Xiao Li, Mangu Hun, Mangu Tun, as well as Manliang and Li Qing. However, Fu Chuan and Meng Ke, the Xirong Emperor who had submitted to Great Qin, were nowhere to be seen.
