Lu Changsheng found himself transported to a mysterious realm after being pulled in by a ghost ship. With his powers suppressed, he worries about finding his companions, Qian Zhuyan and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng. Meanwhile, Lu Lingjing, having escaped the ghost ship, is searching for his missing master.

"So soon, and someone has arrived?"

"No, judging by their attire, they do not seem to be natives of this place! They bear a resemblance to those from beyond the heavens, as recorded in ancient texts."

"It is said that when the Heaven Light descends, besides treasures appearing, there may also be individuals from other realms falling. These individuals' strength varies, but they are often accompanied by precious artifacts!"

"The Heaven Light only just pierced the night sky; this arrival is likely no ordinary person."

Lu Changsheng observed several figures cloaked in a luminous aura speeding towards him. Their gazes scrutinized him with a mix of astonishment and suspicion.

These individuals glanced at the Michen Banner and the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror held by Lu Changsheng. Greed flickered in their eyes, and some even moved to attack him directly.

"Bang!"

A faint frown creased Lu Changsheng’s brow, his expression unperturbed. With a single palm strike, he obliterated the attacking figure.

Though he possessed no Qi-Blood Magical Power, this assailant was at most comparable to a cultivator in the Second Rank of Body Refining. Such an opponent was easily vanquished, as if by a mere spray of his saliva.

"What!?"

The surrounding onlookers were jolted, struck with utter disbelief.

The one who had just lunged forward, while not the most formidable among them, was still considered above average. Yet, he was reduced to nothing with a casual blow – truly a terrifying display.

"What is this place?"

Lu Changsheng surveyed the group before him, posing a question to grasp the prevailing situation.

Chillingly, his swift termination of one individual served as a potent warning, facilitating the rapid acquisition of considerable information.

This domain was known as the Land of Eternal Night, a realm utterly devoid of daylight, perpetually cloaked in a darkness akin to a consuming abyss.

They had hurried here upon witnessing the Heaven Light cleaving through the unending night, mistakenly believing a treasure was materializing.

According to ancient accounts, whenever Heaven Light appeared, the descent of a treasure was highly probable.

Beyond mere treasures, beings like Lu Changsheng, or even formidable beasts, could emerge.

These entities were designated as individuals originating from beyond the heavens.

"What manner of techniques do you employ?"

Lu Changsheng pressed his inquiry further.

His Qi, vital essence, and spiritual sense appeared to be dormant within this locale.

However, these inhabitants displayed methods reminiscent of body cultivation, their physiques emanating a faint glow, suggesting a parallel to Qi-Blood Magical Power.

"Esteemed Sir, this is known as Heavenly Light Power."

One individual respectfully elucidated for Lu Changsheng, explaining it as a power derived from elevating one’s life essence. The methods for its cultivation diverged among individuals, leading to the manifestation of distinct energies, collectively termed "Heavenly Light Power," a rather fitting appellation.

"Permit me to observe your method of cultivation."

Lu Changsheng commanded directly, his desire to comprehend deepening.

"This..."

The individual showed hesitation.

A cultivation technique was a deeply personal secret, something one would not readily divulge.

"Sir, I am prepared to offer my cultivation method, though I do not currently possess it on my person."

Nevertheless, perceiving Lu Changsheng’s superior might and his otherworldly origin, one person immediately volunteered, seeking to curry favor, expressing willingness to present their cultivation technique.

"There is no need for such an endeavor."

Lu Changsheng indicated for one of them to demonstrate the Heavenly Light Power. He then utilized the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to examine the process, noting its similarity to a Body Cultivation Method.

However, the energy cultivated here was not impeded by the governing laws of this particular world. If he so chose, with his Fourth Rank Physique as a base, he could rapidly commence and cultivate this Heavenly Light Power.

"Given your awareness of individuals from beyond the heavens, do you possess knowledge of how to depart from this realm?" Lu Changsheng inquired.

"This... Sir, we have only encountered tales of those from beyond the heavens. You might discover more information in the distant Red Cloud City..."

The group responded with evident difficulty reflected in their expressions.

They were merely inhabitants of a small settlement within this land, possessing only limited knowledge.

Individuals like Lu Changsheng, hailing from beyond the heavens, were but legends to them, never having been encountered in person.

"Aside from the sighting at my location, have you witnessed any other instances of Heaven Light?"

Since his arrival, marked by a Heaven Light piercing the perpetual night, if Qian Zhuyan, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng, or even the Six Paths Demon Consort were to appear in this world, Heaven Light would surely accompany them.

"In the remote depths of the mountains, there appeared to be a Heaven Light, but we dared not venture closer."

They harbored no intention to conceal anything, offering their honest reply.

The Land of Eternal Night was fraught with peril; its environment unforgiving, particularly these untamed wildernesses and mountainous regions.

These areas harbored not only ferocious beasts and mutated creatures but also numerous enigmatic and perilous threats far beyond their ability to confront.

"Deep within the mountains?"

Lu Changsheng directed his gaze toward the distant interior, then stated, "Indicate a direction for me, and approximately how far inward."

"Sir, I merely caught a fleeting glimpse of a Heavenly Light; its precise location is unknown, likely deep within the mountains," they reported.

Upon hearing their statements, Lu Changsheng mused for a brief period, opting to first acquire additional information before venturing into the mountainous region.

After all, based on their accounts, the mountains presented significant perils.

Considering his present state, he could not afford any carelessness.

Furthermore, he harbored a desire to ascertain if the Heavenly Light Power coupled with the local cultivation methods could reawaken his dormant mana.

Should he manage to recover some mana and utilize his Storage Ring, his fighting prowess would experience a substantial uplift.

...

Deep within the mountain's embrace, an enveloping darkness shrouded all.

Thick vegetation and towering trees rustled violently amidst the chilling night breeze, appearing akin to mournful spectral apparitions drifting aimlessly.

Within the forest's profound gloom, a puppet, its form radiating a cold, metallic sheen, scanned its surroundings. Ghostly green flames flickered within its eye sockets, intently probing the area.

"Where in the world am I..."

Qian Zhuyan's objective was to locate any trace of Lu Changsheng, yet she discovered no signs of life.

After an extended period of waiting, with neither Lu Changsheng nor the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng appearing, she commenced exploring other sectors to persist in her search.

At that precise moment, she abruptly perceived a nearby black mist, which seemed to possess a sentience, covertly observing her.

Her heart suddenly on high alert, she raised a mechanical arm, unleashing a rapid barrage of black Wind Blades that tore through the mist.
