"Here is the outer disciple token for the Lianshan Peak, take it," the reception disciple at the Lianshan Peak reception handed the token to Chen Xuan.

"Thank you, senior brother," Chen Xuan replied politely.

"You must be the disciple brought back by Senior Pei. We've all heard about your deeds. You're quite impressive, defeating a Spiritual Warrior at the Late Heavenly Stage. You're definitely a genius," several reception disciples approached Chen Xuan and said.

"I'll rely on you senior brothers to take care of me in the future," Chen Xuan replied, nodding and arching his hands. As a newcomer, Chen Xuan wanted to make more friends.

"Don't be too polite, junior brother. We're all disciples of the same peak, so taking care of each other is natural. My name is Wang Bing. You can call me Senior Wang from now on. With your talent, I'm afraid it won't be long before you surpass us all. We'll have to rely on you in the future," said the disciple named Wang Bing.

"Senior Wang, could you tell me about the rules of joining Danxuan Gate?" Chen Xuan asked.

"There aren't too many rules. Basically, it's about not betraying the sect or harming fellow disciples. However, we won't stop you from fighting each other. If you develop a life-or-death grudge, the sect also has a life-and-death arena where you can settle it with the other party's consent. But these rules only apply within the sect. Outside the sect, there might be instances of mutual harm, as long as the sect doesn't find out. But if the sect does find out, it will revoke all your cultivation. "

Chen Xuan nodded. So Ling Feng from the Dueling Peak didn't dare to openly confront him within the sect. At most, he would cause some trouble, but outside the sect, it could be a different story.

"By the way, Senior Wang, do you know Ling Feng from the Dueling Peak?" Chen Xuan continued to ask.

"How do you know about Ling Feng? Did you offend him? We've also heard about this person. He's narrow-minded and vengeful. Junior brother, be careful when you meet him," Senior Wang warned.

"I see, thank you for the reminder. How could I offend him?" Chen Xuan didn't mention yesterday's incident.

"Senior brother, today I heard Elder Xuan say that many disciples stayed in the Demon Battlefield. What's going on?"

"Every new disciple asks this question. The Demon Battlefield has existed for ten thousand years. We learned about it from ancient records. Ten thousand years ago, there was a great war between humans and demons on the Land of the Spirits. In the end, humans won a tragic victory and banished all demons to another plane, which you call the Demon Battlefield. Every year, all cultivators living on the Land of the Spirits, including our Danxuan Gate, go to the Demon Battlefield to kill demons. The demons breed rapidly, and without massive killings, they might return in a few years or decades. So every year, many disciples die at the hands of demons. You can also choose not to go, but it's difficult to earn mission points without doing so. Some disciples go out alone to kill demon beasts and exchange their inner cores for mission points. Although it's fewer points, it's safer."

After listening to Senior Wang's explanation, Chen Xuan thought of what Elder Li had told him. Ten thousand years ago, there was a great war between humans and demons, and even the dragon race disappeared. It seemed that a tremendous battle had indeed occurred ten thousand years ago.

"Senior Wang, can demons cultivate like us humans?" Chen Xuan wanted to know more. Although Elder Li knew a lot, those were mostly thousands of years old stories. Even now, he didn't know much.

"Demon cultivation is different from human cultivation. They evolve by consuming human blood essence, which is their best evolutionary agent. As long as they consume human blood essence, they can evolve indefinitely. They might eventually become divine demons or even saint demons. A saint demon could sweep through our entire Danxuan Gate. Demons also have different ranks. The lowest rank is called fiends, which are equivalent to our acquired stage. Above fiends are earth demons, whose strength depends on their level of evolution. They could have the strength of the Spiritual Warrior Realm or even reach the True Martial Realm. Above earth demons are sky demons, equivalent to the Spirit Martial to Earthly Spirit realm. Beyond sky demons are divine demons, which are at the Heavenly Spirit realm. That's why the entire continent is called the Land of the Spirits, and it's related to this. It's difficult to continue cultivation at the Heavenly Spirit realm on this continent. The rules of the entire continent will restrict you, so you can only go to higher planes, where there might be higher realms."

Senior Wang patiently explained to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan, like a sponge, absorbed everything they said. Compared to these disciples, his knowledge was too limited.

So, there's not just one continent in this universe, but higher-level planes as well. Only by reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Spirit realm can one break free from the shackles of heaven and earth and enter higher levels. Chen Xuan had read some books on Earth that mentioned ancient warriors breaking through the void. Could it be true?

"Junior brother, you don't need to understand so much for now. When you arrive at the sect, they'll give you a miscellaneous record, which includes all of this. You'll gradually learn more in the future," Senior Wang reminded Chen Xuan when he saw him lost in thought.

While they were talking, most of the disciples had already been divided, and the peak master of the Lianshan Peak led about a hundred disciples over. Chen Xuan saw that even Big Brother Xi had chosen to join the Lianshan Peak.

"I'll take you back to the sect now," the peak master stepped forward and loudly announced to everyone.

The peak master took out a piece of cloth resembling a map from his storage ring, unfolded it in the wind, and slowly enlarged it until it was about a mile in size. The group of young disciples below, including Chen Xuan, were all dumbfounded.

"What is this thing? Can it be enlarged? Is the peak master going to make us use this to go back?"

"This is my intermediate elemental device, the Qianxu Blanket, capable of carrying about a thousand people for flight," the peak master standing on the Qianxu Blanket announced to the disciples below.

"Everyone, come up. I'll take you back to the mountain peak," he said.

The blanket slowly descended to about a foot high, and everyone quickly came to their senses and walked onto the blanket. The named disciples introduced by Chen Xuan had no expression on their faces, as if they were already used to it.

But Chen Xuan's heart was in turmoil. This was the first elemental device he had seen in this world. Although it didn't have any offensive capabilities, it was undoubtedly a great treasure for transportation and escape. Right now, he didn't even have a spiritual weapon. He was thinking too much. He needed to improve his strength first. Without strength, everything was in vain. He feared he couldn't even protect himself. Everything was about strength.

"So, this is what flying feels like?" one of the young men standing on the blanket exclaimed excitedly. "I heard that only when you reach the True Martial Realm can you have the ability to fly. I wonder when I'll reach that level."

"Don't be too cocky, kid. It's good enough to reach the Spiritual Warrior Realm. Is it easy to break through to the True Martial Realm?" Another young man sarcastically remarked.

Chen Xuan also looked down at his feet. A sea of clouds passed beneath him. Flying—how many people dreamed of it? Clenching his fists, "One day, I'll achieve it too, for sure," Chen Xuan vowed silently.

"Junior brother, you don't need to understand so much for now. When you arrive at the sect, they'll give you a miscellaneous record, which includes all of this. You'll gradually learn more in the future," Senior Wang reminded Chen Xuan when he saw him lost in thought.
