Chapter 1

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Yan Xiwén stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing secrets that his mother had given him.

Yan Xiwén felt a bit lost. He never expected that he would actually travel through time. Originally, Yan Xiwén was just an ordinary college student in the 21st century on Earth. It took him a month to realize that this was not a prank, but that he had truly traveled through time.

He had been in this world for more than a month and gradually accepted the reality. This place was no longer Earth, although the customs and culture here were similar to ancient China, he knew that this was not Earth, but a place called the True Martial Realm.

This was a world of martial arts, a world where martial techniques had evolved for countless years. Martial techniques had given rise to a brilliant civilization, and powerful martial artists could move mountains and seas, split mountains and rocks, and even extend their lifespans indefinitely.

Yan Xiwén's current identity was the third son of an elder in the One Origin Sect, and he was an adopted son. His father, Ye Kongming, had brought him back eighteen years ago, which was not a secret in the sect.

The One Origin Sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Great Yue Kingdom, with many experts.

The One Origin Sect on Green Peak Mountain was just one of the branches of the Great Yue Kingdom's One Origin Sect. There were many such branches, all dedicated to supplying talent to the main sect of the One Origin Sect.

Yan Xiwén's cultivation was only at the Third Level of the Postnatal Realm. For his age, this level was only considered average.

In the True Martial Realm, martial artists started at the First Level of the Postnatal Realm and progressed up to the Ninth Level. Beyond the Postnatal Realm was the Prenatal Realm, but how the Prenatal Realm was divided, Yan Xiwén did not know, as even the sect leader of the One Origin Sect was only at the Prenatal Realm.

The One Origin Sect was divided into three levels of disciples: Outer Sect, Inner Sect, and Core Sect. Once a disciple reached the Core Sect level, they could go to the main sect of the One Origin Sect for an assessment. Those who passed the assessment could truly join the One Origin Sect.

The levels of One Origin Sect disciples were not divided by age but by strength. The Postnatal Realm had nine levels, and reaching the Third Level allowed one to advance from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect. Reaching the Fifth Level allowed one to advance to the Core Sect. To participate in the assessment at the main sect, one needed to be at least at the Seventh Level.

The requirements were not low. Yan Xiwén's predecessor had average talent and was eighteen years old, but his cultivation was only at the late Third Level of the Postnatal Realm. This performance, while not terrible, was only considered average.

Yan Xiwén was just an ordinary Inner Sect disciple. Although Inner Sect disciples were not as prestigious as Core Sect disciples, they were not as lowly as Outer Sect disciples. Plus, his father was an elder in the One Origin Sect, so he generally had a decent life.

However, he was not particularly valued. Yan Xiwén's predecessor had very average talent, and the late Third Level of the Postnatal Realm was only considered average among Inner Sect disciples. Especially compared to his two older siblings, the situation was even more pronounced. His elder brother, Ye Feng, was only twenty-one years old but was already at the peak of the Eighth Level of the Postnatal Realm, a super genius in the sect. His second sister, Ye Ruxue, was only a year older and was already at the Seventh Level of the Postnatal Realm.

In such a situation, he naturally did not receive much attention!

"Rustle!"

A rustling sound came from the forest behind Yan Xiwén. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old fat boy in brocade clothes darted out from behind the trees. Yan Xiwén's face showed a smile. This person was named Wang Lie, his childhood friend. His family was a prominent household in Green Peak Town at the foot of Green Peak Mountain, with deep ties to the One Origin Sect. Wang Lie had been sent up the mountain to learn martial arts since he was young, and the two were very close.

Of course, their talents were about the same. Yan Xiwén was at the late Third Level of the Postnatal Realm, and Wang Lie was only slightly stronger, at the peak of the Third Level. This was one of the reasons they got along so well.

"It's getting late. Why aren't you going back to rest? What are you doing here?" Yan Xiwén asked with a smile.

"I'm just worried about you," Wang Lie said with a grin. "You've been acting strange lately, all spaced out!"

"Don't worry, what could happen to me?" Yan Xiwén said.

It was just that he was not used to the transition from Earth!

"You are at a critical point to break through to the Fourth Level. You should hurry and go into seclusion!" Yan Xiwén said. The Third Level of the Postnatal Realm was considered average among Inner Sect disciples, but the Fourth Level was considered elite. Although there was only one level difference, the status was vastly different.

"Hehe, I came to see you about that. I plan to go into seclusion for a while, but I'm a bit worried about you acting so strange lately!" Wang Lie said, looking at Yan Xiwén with concern. They had grown up together, and although they often teased each other, he was very concerned about his brother. Of course, he could never imagine that his brother had been replaced.

"Don't worry, what could happen to me?" Yan Xiwén said with a smile. "It's getting late, you should go back first. I'll leave in a bit!"

"Alright, don't stay too late, be careful of the beastmen!" Wang Lie warned.

The One Origin Sect was located on Green Peak Mountain, which was home to many fierce beastmen. These beastmen were more powerful than ordinary beasts and could only be matched by martial artists.

"Okay, I know!" Yan Xiwén nodded.

Although the area around the One Origin Sect was relatively safe from beastmen, it was still a potential problem. If a powerful beastman that did not follow the usual patterns appeared, he would be in serious trouble.

There were too many beastmen on the mountain, so he had to be cautious. The One Origin Sect was located on this mountain to suppress the many beastmen and prevent them from descending to disturb the people. Although not all beastmen could be stopped, a few would always slip through. However, there were martial arts schools in the towns below, and many martial artists practiced there, so it was not a major issue.

Because of this, One Origin Sect disciples were always respected outside. Within fifty miles, they were always looked up to.

Wang Lie turned and left. Although he was fat, he was a martial artist and moved lightly, quickly disappearing into the trees.

Yan Xiwén sat for a while longer, just about to leave, when he suddenly saw a burst of colorful light in the lake. In an instant, the light covered the lake and then returned to calm.

Yan Xiwén was very puzzled. How could there be colorful light? Could there be some treasure inside? Thinking of this, Yan Xiwén became excited. If there was really some treasure, he would be rich.

Determined, Yan Xiwén dove into the water and kept diving deeper. Whether in his past life or this one, Yan Xiwén was a good swimmer.

Yan Xiwén slowly approached the center of the lake. This was just an ordinary lake with no aquatic beastmen, otherwise, it would have been cleared by the experts of the One Origin Sect long ago. Therefore, Yan Xiwén was not afraid of encountering any danger.

Yan Xiwén opened his eyes underwater and saw a small cluster of colorful light lying quietly in the center of the lake. Yes, it was lying there, as Yan Xiwén felt.

Yan Xiwén did not sense any danger, only a sense of peace, so he slowly approached.

Yan Xiwén reached out to grab the cluster of colorful light, but suddenly it emitted a bright, intense light and then shot into Yan Xiwén's body in an instant.

Yan Xiwén was shocked. When he looked again, the cluster of colorful light in the center of the lake was gone.

Yan Xiwén quickly surfaced and swam to the shore, breathing heavily and still a bit shaken. He checked his body and found nothing missing, so he relaxed.

He used his true qi to dry the water droplets and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed a special space in his mind, a gray, misty area.

This was a very strange situation. Only those at the Prenatal Realm could see inside their bodies, but Yan Xiwén could feel a mysterious space in his mind.

Yan Xiwén found that by focusing, he could sense the existence of this space. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was too strange. He did not dare to stay in the lake any longer and quickly ran back to his small courtyard, not even greeting his parents.

Green Peak Mountain was vast, and the One Origin Sect occupied a large area. There was plenty of land and houses. Plus, Ye Kongming was a high-ranking elder in the One Origin Sect, so Yan Xiwén, after coming of age, was given a small courtyard next to his parents' house.

Yan Xiwén returned to his house, still shaken. It was already completely dark.

Yan Xiwén focused and concentrated, and the special space appeared in his mind again. Unlike before, he did not relax but continued to focus.

Suddenly, Yan Xiwén's vision went black, and he found himself in a chaotic space. He was shocked but quickly realized that this was not anywhere else but the space in his mind. He had seen it many times, so he quickly recognized it.

He probably did not enter the space entirely, but a part of his spirit did. However, he did not know what the purpose of this space was.

Soon, Yan Xiwén discovered a problem: he could not leave. There was no exit, and no matter where he went, he was in a chaotic space with the same surroundings.
