70: Chapter 70: Tianyuan Realm 70: Chapter 70: Tianyuan Realm Gang mbers are indeed not sharpshooters; even if they hit their targets, it doesn’t necessarily result in imdiate death.
So might suffer more before dying, but so injured can still struggle to survive.
The gang mber An Jing found was like this.
He had been shot through the shoulder blade with a Spiritual Light gun, his wound charred, and had been hit in the helt with a gunpowder bullet, which knocked him unconscious.
Because of this, he didn’t bleed much, and by the ti An Jing arrived, he had saved his life.
An Jing dragged him into nearby bushes, treated his wound, gave him so water and stimulant drugs, and the man gradually woke from unconsciousness.
“Sir… sir, are you?”
Since he was a practitioner of Inner Breath, although he had just recovered from unconsciousness, the circulation of his Inner Breath had completely revived him.
The gang mber An Jing revived was as young as the other dead he had seen, probably sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, unlike the others, this friend looked nihilistic and lifeless, his forehead darkened and with heavy dark circles under his eyes—he seed to have terribly bad luck and perhaps had to work overti every night.
Despite that, his physical foundation was quite solid; thin yet robust, able to endure a gunshot wound without dying, the man was also no fool.
Seeing An Jing’s freshly changed gas mask, his blood-stained raincoat, and the gun barrel pointed at his forehead, he imdiately understood sowhat why he was still alive, and enduring his pain, he respectfully asked, “Do you need sothing from ?”
“Next, I’ll ask, and you’ll answer.
No extra talk.”
An Jing said calmly.
The young gang mber, unable to even nod, tried to signal his understanding by blinking fiercely—he had indeed been fearless of life and death due to the drugs earlier, but now that the effects had worn off, clinging to life was his priority.
Following that, he answered each of An Jing’s questions without reserve.
This world was called the Tianyuan Realm, and the wilderness area he was in was known as the Floating Dust Plains.
The Floating Dust Plains was one of the four giant Spirit Vein cities surrounding Tianyuan Realm, specifically the Plain Safe Zone of a super-massive city called Xuanye City.
The man’s na was Huo Qing, quite young, just over seventeen years old, a native of Danlin Town among the Seventeen Towns of the Floating Dust Plains.
His gang was one of the four large gangs in the Floating Dust Plains, the Day Tiger Gang, and they were currently battling their old enemy, the Fla Claw Gang.
Huo Qing himself had a fairly decent cultivation talent, but with his parents deceased, he survived with the support of so uncles involved in the gangs and eventually joined the gang himself.
He was not skilled in combat; he usually worked as an accountant and generally did not participate in such actions.
However, a few days ago, after the Great Void Heavenly Ship of the Luofu Group returned to Xuanye City, the atmosphere inside and outside the city beca very tense.
The Day Tiger Gang went into combat readiness, and tonight, they directly started fighting with their old opponent, the Fla Claw Gang.
He was inadvertently nad by the boss and got involved, and then almost got killed on the spot.
Huo Qing had no idea why the battle started or why the atmosphere was tense.
His rank was too low, and he knew too little—he didn’t even know why an accountant like himself had to be on the front lines.
But for soone from another world, this information was enough.
“Indeed.”
An Jing nodded slightly, looking in the direction of Xuanye City and thought, “Just as I suspected, tonight’s turmoil is related to the arrival of the battleship in Xuanye City.”
“This fierce battle is probably because so high-ranking individuals ordered them to fight against other local organizations to suppress gangs from different backgrounds…”
“Or they want to create chaos to cover sothing up?”
The battlefield was not just the towns of the Floating Dust Plains; An Jing could see that the main battlefield was actually inside Xuanye City.
In the distance, Xuanye City was ablaze with fire and Spiritual Light mingling together, undoubtedly, all the major gang factions were clashing terribly, engaging in arson and explosions at will, the rising flas and smoke like stars shining on the ground.
And for people like Huo Qing, mbers of the outlying towns, they only needed to make a show of it on the surface and would not really damage the towns that lie at the core of their livelihood.
It was just like what An Jing had seen earlier; if they were to fight, it would be done in the wilderness, avoiding the use of heavy weaponry on each other, and sparing the towns from destruction.
In essence, this was the repercussion of a magical power struggle within the high echelons of Xuanye City, and both the Floating Dust Plains and Xuanye City were destined to be restless tonight.
Next, An Jing asked Huo Qing so questions about the history related to the Tianyuan Realm.
—Eh?
Bro, what’s there to ask about these questions?
Huo Qing felt bewildered, wondering how anyone could capture a barely surviving casualty from a gang firefight and ask about historical matters.
He had noticed earlier that this older man was clearly not a city person, or even a town person, but a thorough wilderness man, one who had likely never been through the Safe Zone.
But aren’t the people of the Wilderness purely practical, caring only about survival and cultivation?
Why would they care about seemingly aningless history?
Forget it.
Since An Jing had asked, he answered honestly, treating it as though this elder brother wanted to test if he was lying.
An Jing was lucky; Huo Qing was indeed a rare cultured individual among the gang mbers.
He knew not only the history of the Tianyuan Realm but also could explain it clearly and logically.
Through his concise explanation, An Jing understood why the Tianyuan Realm was so desolate and decadent, yet there was a super tropolis like Xuanye City far away.
It was also because of the Heavenly Demons.
In ancient tis, this realm was once unified by the Dao Sect, where civilization flourished, and everyone could cultivate.
But one day, it faced a “World Calamity.”
At that ti, millions of Heart Demons swept across the land.
Within a hundred years, cultivators, regardless of their strength, would inevitably be troubled by Heart Demons once they began cultivating.
Countless cultivators died because of this, marking the greatest calamity in the history of the Tianyuan Realm.
The Heart Demon Calamity caused a generational gap in cultivators.
It was then that the Heavenly Demons, originally elusive, descended from the Great Void into the human world, residing within human hearts.
With internal strife and external threats, the civilization of universal cultivation instantly collapsed.
Cultivators corrupted by Demonic Qi turned into fearso Human Demons.
So were possessed by Heavenly Demons, lurking in the upper echelons and wreaking havoc at critical monts, throwing the world into chaos.
The blessed lands and Cave Heavens also beca damaged and abandoned.
Many Sects were destroyed, and even three of the seven Primordial Spirit inheritances of Dao Sect were severed.
After the World Calamity, the majority of people lived in Core Cities and Safe Zones at the central Spirit Vein outlets in the Tianyuan Realm, while the rest of the world turned into Demonic Evil Lands occupied by Human Demons, Strange Beasts, and evil creatures, which are the so-called ‘Wilderness’.
Fortunately, the Demon Calamity was quelled.
The Tianyuan Realm did not fall into the doomsday of Immortal Law and is now struggling to rise up again, aiming to return to its forr glory.
“The cultivation thod of this realm is the most traditional Spirit Awakening, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishnt, Purple Mansion, Core Formation of Qi Refining Skills.”
“For Martial Arts, they correspond to Inner Breath, Inner Strength, Martial ridian, Divine Repository, Manifesting Holy.”
Listening to Huo Qing’s narration, the Sword Spirit pondered in An Jing’s Divine Sea, “As expected, this realm still maintains the Qi Refining inheritance.”
“And…”
Pausing for a mont, the Sword Spirit slowly said, “Like we thought before…
the relationships between the two realms are close.”
“Both the Embracing the Void realm and this realm have Dao Courtyards and Dao Sects, unifying the universe.”
—It seems they are from the sa group of immigrants or were taught by them.
No wonder the languages are the sa; this is what is called ‘sa writing, sa species.’
An Jing slightly nodded.
He wasn’t surprised by this, as both realms had pieces of Subdue Evil, they must be connected.
Even according to the Sword Spirit, if the Great Immortal from Embracing the Void brought tens of thousands of people and the structure of Five Cities Twelve Towers to Embracing the Void, then where did these cities, towers, and people originate?
There must be a ‘source’ that enabled the Great Immortal to pioneer in Embracing the Void.
And since there is a source, perhaps there are other ‘Great Immortals’ pioneering in other realms!
Having learned the information about the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing felt greatly enlightened.
He originally planned to leave Huo Qing so food, water, and potions and let him leave on his own, but seeing that Huo Qing’s current condition made moving quite difficult, a thought struck him: “Maybe…
this is also a good opportunity to enter the town?”
With Huo Qing’s current physical condition, letting him return to town alone might end up with him being treated as a deserter from the gang and suffer malicious consequences, most likely losing his life on the way.
An Jing ultimately had his own moral principles, believing in saving soone to the utmost; he didn’t mind taking so ti to send the other back to town.
Moreover, Huo Qing had ntioned more than once that he wanted to repay him greatly.
Although An Jing felt that with Huo Qing’s foreboding appearance, being treated to a al would be an exceptional gratitude.
But a al is still a al…
no, mainly, since he had co all the way to town, why not use Huo Qing’s connections to try to integrate into the Tianyuan Realm and obtain more resources?
Thinking of this, he helped Huo Qing to his feet: “Where did you originally live?
Show the way.”
“I’ll take you back.”
