Neon lights flickered like stars in the night city, and pedestrians and vehicles still moved back and forth on the streets in the middle of the night.

For some, the hustle and bustle was just ending, while for others, it was just beginning.

This was a city that never slept.

An Qi Sheng strolled along the street, brushing shoulders with passersby, his expression calm, but his heart was stirred.

Xuan Xing was not superior to Jiu Fu Jie, the Human Realm Path, or the Myriad Yang Realm.

The wars, chaos, killings, and deaths that had occurred in the past were no less than in other worlds, but after all, the current Da Xuan had been free from war for a hundred years.

He was well-versed in history, knowing almost everything about Xuan Xing from ancient times to the present, and naturally understood how hard-won this peace was.

Unfortunately, he was about to single-handedly shatter this hard-won tranquility...

"The only constant in the world is change itself, and I am no exception..."

An Qi Sheng sighed inwardly.

His spiritual cultivation had reached an extremely high level, and he had thoroughly analyzed and completely mastered his various desires and thoughts.

Naturally, he also grasped the changes in his heart.

Just like the cultivators of the Myriad Yang Realm, they came from the mortal world, yet transcended it. This was not because they were born unfeeling.

Rather, as they walked through their long lives, they experienced far too much.

Until eventually, they no longer cared about everything that mortals cared about.

This change was not just about the amount of power, but as his realm improved, the things he cared about became fewer and fewer.

After entering dreams countless times, his appearance had not changed, and his spirit was not tainted, but there were still changes.

Everything he once craved was now within easy reach, but it had also become fleeting, no longer important in his heart.

When he had just awakened his memories of his past life, all he thought about was using his knowledge to earn more wealth, pursue glory, riches, fame, and status.

But now, everything on Xuan Xing was within his grasp, but he had lost that state of mind.

"Going somewhere?"

A taxi stopped beside him, the window rolled down, and a young woman wearing a mask asked, "I've seen you walking on the street for a long time. Where are you going? I'll take you."

"Yes, that's fine."

An Qi Sheng glanced at the female driver, opened the car door, and sat inside.

"Where to?"

The female driver asked.

"Just drive around."

An Qi Sheng glanced at the female driver. He didn't really have a destination.

"Heartbroken?"

The female driver shook her head, slowly starting the car while chatting with An Qi Sheng, "People who are newly heartbroken are always desperate, but once you think it through, it's nothing. The most important thing in life is to be happy..."

"Heartbroken?"

An Qi Sheng was somewhat dumbfounded, but he remembered his mother's urging him to get married along the way.

There were no unfilial gods in the world. The kindness of parents was difficult to repay in a lifetime. Although he had a thousand ways to dispel his mother's thoughts, he still let her talk.

It was just that since the Da Yi Diagram awakened, the love and desire of the mortal world seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

"Isn't it? I've picked up two people, and I saw you walking by the road..."

The female driver was very talkative. Although An Qi Sheng didn't answer, she still chatted with him, "I think you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before? I'm not hitting on you, I really think you look familiar..."

"Then we should have met."

An Qi Sheng smiled slightly.

"Hey, don't you believe me, my standards are very high."

The female driver glanced at him, and sighed mysteriously, "Do you know An Qi Sheng?"

"Who doesn't know him?"

An Qi Sheng looked at her deeply, "You're not going to say he's your classmate, are you?"

"Hey?"

The female driver was very surprised, "How did you know?"

"Just guessing."

An Qi Sheng pointed ahead and asked her to stop the car.

Although the female driver was a little surprised by An Qi Sheng's calmness, she still parked the car on the side of the road.

An Qi Sheng got out of the car, and she rolled down the window, "Aren't you surprised? Many people call him the God of the Human World now!"

"He may not like this title. Compared to being a god, he probably wants to be a human more."

Closing the car door, An Qi Sheng waved to her.

"Weirdo."

The female driver rolled up the window, and just as she started the car, she suddenly heard someone in the chat group saying that there was a multi-vehicle accident on Jianshe Road.

It was said that there were street racers racing.

"How could it be Jianshe Road?"

The female driver couldn't help but be shocked.

If she hadn't picked up this passenger just now, wouldn't she have been going to Jianshe Road?

Thinking about it, she suddenly turned her head to look, but saw that the street was empty. In just over ten seconds, the person had disappeared?

"Old classmate, I hope you can always be happy..."

On the long street, An Qi Sheng offered his blessings.

He had never hidden his tracks, but not everyone could see him. This female driver was named Jia Mengmeng, and she was indeed one of his former classmates.

"Desire devil, desire devil, the devil Lao Dan spoke of, is it the human heart, or the heart of the Dao? Is man for desire? Is Dao for desire?"

An Qi Sheng raised his head to look at the starry sky, and Lao Dan's prophecy when he dreamed back to the Spring and Autumn Period resurfaced in his heart.

Unlike before, he now had a faint premonition in his heart.

That devil would come from within his heart, and perhaps, it would be the greatest tribulation of his life.

A devil in the heart might be more difficult to deal with than external tribulations.

After gazing for a long time, An Qi Sheng's eyes slowly closed:

"So, what if?"

Perhaps in the future, this would become the devil that imprisoned him, and he would eventually find it difficult to maintain his original intentions, but at this moment, it was still what he wanted in his heart.

To practice one's own heart, what does it matter whether it is Dao or devil?

Whoosh~

With a thought from An Qi Sheng, a breeze seemed to rise on the long street.

The lingering cold wind swept the fallen leaves on the long street into the sky, and accompanied by some dust, they fluttered and scattered down again.

Following nature is Dao, but going against it should not be a devil!

.......

"F*ck!"

Holding the plug, only this thought remained in Lin Peng's mind.

Then he obediently looked at the advertisement. He had gone to such lengths, wouldn't it be too much to not look at the advertisement?

He was stunned at first glance.

[Survival of the fittest, the strong eat the weak. All that does not adapt and change will eventually decay!]

[Dreamland Public Beta: The three-year internal beta has ended, and a new round of public beta is about to begin.]

[Do you want to join the Dreamland Game? You have only one chance to choose.]

[Yes/No]

[Countdown: 7\6\5......]

"Dreamland Game?!"

Lin Peng's eyes widened, and after the shock came ecstasy.

God knows how many people had swindled him and how much tuition he had paid in order to become a Dreamwalker?

At this moment, the qualities of a seasoned old player.

As the one-minute countdown was about to reach zero, he used his hand speed that he had trained for many years, and decisively clicked Yes.

Boom!

In the next instant, it was as if a cannonball exploded on his face.

Lin Peng didn't even make a sound, and fell backward onto the floor with a thud, losing consciousness.

And almost simultaneously.

Including Da Xuan, people in almost all of the more than two hundred countries and regions around the world received invitations from the Dreamland Game.

Some people were too shocked to miss the opportunity, while more people chose 'Yes'.

......

"Ugh..."

Lin Peng woke up faintly, his mind still a little dazed.

It wasn't until he saw the antique decorations around him that he suddenly realized that he should have entered the 'Dreamland'.

"This, is this the Wangquan Dreamland?"

Without the unfamiliarity and uneasiness of a newcomer, Lin Peng was so excited that he wanted to jump up. This sense of reality, how could it be a game?

It was simply another world.

"This is too real!"

Lin Peng touched this and that, his mood extremely excited, and couldn't help but think about some of the strategies he had seen before.

Whoosh~

The window paper shook, and a breeze blew in.

Lin Peng's eyelids twitched, and he saw the dust on the ground suddenly transform into a line of large characters, a line of text that he had never seen before, but clearly understood its meaning:

[Welcome to Jiu Fu Jie]

[Welcome to the Tale of Wangquan]

[Time: 3332 years of the Wangquan Era. Location: Nanliang City, Dafeng, Wangquan Mountain]

[Identity: Entry-level disciple of Wangquan Dao, with the martial arts 'Boy's Skill' (untrained), 'Iron Shirt' (untrained), 'Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi']

[Background: In the spring of the 3332nd year of the Wangquan Era, the Wangquan Taoist who had dominated the world for three thousand years had disappeared, and the remaining cultivation methods and secret manuals were snatched up by countless people...]

[The world has changed drastically, the winds and clouds have risen again between the seven kingdoms, and bloodshed has reappeared in the martial world!]

[Main Quest: The Mystery of the Disappearance of Wangquan Dao]

"I, I actually directly became an entry-level disciple of Wangquan Dao?!"

Lin Peng read every word of the introduction, his heart filled with surprise and joy.

What pleased him was that he had directly become a disciple of Wangquan Dao, and what shocked him was that Wangquan Dao had actually been emptied out?

"Everyone, come out now!"

Lin Peng was thinking about his situation and how to proceed when he suddenly heard a loud roar like a bell.

"What a loud voice!"

Lin Peng was startled and couldn't help but walk to the window and cautiously look outside.

He saw many people dressed like himself gathering on a huge and empty square, the ground of which was outlined with a huge Taiji diagram.

A burly man stood on the Dao platform, roaring like thunder.

"Earth Ranking expert Feng Mingtao?!"

Lin Peng's heart trembled as he recognized who the burly man was.

In three years, there were as many as a million Dreamwalkers on Xuan Xing. With so many people, there were naturally no secrets.

In the Dreamwalker forum, there were countless tales of experts.

This Feng Mingtao was said to be one of the first Dreamwalkers, and he had joined Wangquan Dao very early. He was originally an expert in Xingyi Boxing, and it was said that he had also learned hard skills such as 'Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi' and 'Unyielding Body'.

He was a top expert on the Earth Ranking, and it was said that he had condensed his divine meridians!

"Come out?!"

On the Taiji training ground, Feng Mingtao's thick eyebrows stood on end, his true energy surged, and he roared again, "If you don't come out, you'll lose your lives here!"

This roar was like thunder.

It shook the minds of Dreamwalkers like Lin Peng who were hiding in the houses, and they didn't dare to hide any longer, and hurriedly came out.

"So many newbies..."

Looking at the Dreamwalkers who came out of the houses of Wangquan Dao, Feng Mingtao was shocked. It was the first time he had seen so many 'newbies'.

The more people there were, the more chaotic it would be. After a long while, the massive crowd finally gathered on the square.

The few people led by Feng Mingtao were all a little shocked.

Not every Dreamwalker could become a disciple of Wangquan Dao as soon as they came in. It was all random. The fact that so many Dreamwalkers had come to Wangquan Dao.

Could only mean that the number of Dreamwalkers added this time had reached an astonishing level.

"This..."

A Dreamwalker glanced at Feng Mingtao, and after receiving the latter's nod, returned to reality under the protection of his companions. The change was too great and had to be reported as soon as possible.

"Alright!"

Feng Mingtao roared, suppressing the noise of the thousands of Dreamwalkers.

Amidst the excited and shocked gazes of the Dreamwalkers, he swept over them one by one and said, "All those with three or more martial arts skills come forward!

Don't even think about hiding it, I don't care about the little things you have! And no one can steal the martial arts skills you brought with you!"

All the newcomers looked at each other.

After a long while, someone hesitated and stood up, it was Lin Peng, he raised his hand: "Lin Peng, with 'Boy's Skill', 'Iron Shirt', 'Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi'..."

"Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi..."

Feng Mingtao's face twitched.

Except for the earliest Dreamwalkers, every Dreamwalker would have one to three martial arts skills.

But this was not fixed, but random, with varying degrees of strength.

Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi was an internal energy manual practiced after blood exchange, and it was very valuable. He didn't know how many missions he had to complete to get it.

This kid actually brought it with him...

Lin Peng also regretted standing out after he stood out, because it seemed that no one else had stood out.

After another long while.

Someone else walked out, it was a woman with a good figure, she raised her hand: "Jia Mengmeng, with 'Heavenly Dragon Swimming Immortal Steps', 'Hidden Dragon Longevity Skill', 'Tai Bai Sword Scripture'..."

"What the hell?"

"I swear! Tai Bai Sword Scripture?!"

"This is possible?!"

Hearing 'Tai Bai Sword Scripture', all the experienced Dreamwalkers, including Feng Mingtao, changed their expressions and looked at Jia Mengmeng as if they had seen a ghost.

"Tai Bai Sword Scripture? Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?!"

Feng Mingtao stepped down from the Dao platform and came to Jia Mengmeng, his rough face full of disbelief.

Heavenly Dragon Swimming Immortal Steps and Hidden Dragon Longevity Skill were also excellent martial arts skills, with levels not inferior to the Dragon-Tiger Pure Yang Qi, but this was not enough to shock him so much.

But the 'Tai Bai Sword Scripture' was very different.

This was the peerless martial art left by the only ancestor Li Tai Bai recognized by Wangquan Dao other than the founder Wangquan Taoist, and it was known as the strongest inheritance of Wangquan Dao along with the Taiji Sword Dao!

"I, I shouldn't have..."

Jia Mengmeng was also startled, Feng Mingtao's physique was too oppressive.

"....... "

Feng Mingtao opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. After a moment, he squeezed out a sentence: "Well, congratulations to you..."

The martial arts skills that Dreamwalkers brought with them could not be obtained by any means.

Even if the Dreamwalker himself was willing, unless he had completely cultivated this martial art to completion, he would not be able to teach it to others.

Otherwise, Feng Mingtao suspected that he would directly choose to force a confession.

Tat-tat-tat~

Just as Feng Mingtao's heart was complicated, a crisp sound of footsteps like drum beats suddenly sounded.

"Who?!"

His heart was startled, and he looked back, only to see in front of Wangquan Dao's half-destroyed mountain gate.

One person ascended the steps, and before he could see this person's face, a young but vicissitudinous voice echoed:

"All the romance has been blown away by the rain and wind! Wangquan Daoist friend, this humble monk thought your inheritance could truly last forever..."
