In the vastness of the cosmic ocean, just like a particle of dust, the Chaos exists.
In the Luoshui world (Falling River World)
A black portal appeared in the dense forest of the Tianxu Mountain.
Three figures came out from the portal.
Shen Xuan closed his eyes and felt the fresh air of the world after being sealed; an indescribable feeling filled his entire body.
But just after a few seconds of it, he opened his eyes in confusion and frowned.
"Why is the concentration of Chaotic energy so low here?" He subconsciously turned around and looked at the grandfather of Xiao Yang, as if he wanted an answer.
When the old man heard the words of Shen Xuan, he was confused, but when he sensed it.
"Well, I think, young master, the aura of the chaotic energy here is already very high. Even some top clans and sects can't match the energy concentration of this Tianxu Mountain for a medium-level world," the old man shook his head.
When Shen Xuan heard, he was stunned.
Before coming out from the portal, the old man had told him they lived in the middle plane.
But after seeing the concentration of the energy, Shen Xuan guessed something in his heart, but wasn't sure if that was the reason.
Then he didn't ask any further questions, just followed the old man, who took out a small void ship from his storage ring and went inside it.
"Young Master Shen, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Ding, the grandfather of Xiao Yang. And also, I am the fourth elder of the Luoshui Pavilion, which is now known as Lingchuan Hall, and its main purpose is trade. The Lingchuan Hall is one of the top-notch forces present in the entire Luoshui world." The old man, Xiao Ding, patted his chest with a harmless smile on his face and introduced himself to Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan, inside the void ship, was silent for a moment. After this, he asked, "Then why did you guys go to that world to rob the tomb?"
But this time, the tone of the question from Shen Xuan was not very good but rather cold.
"Haha… young master, you may not believe it, but a few years ago, there was a civil fight in our Luoshui Pavilion. But fortunately, our elders of the pavilion stopped the unrest, and later we decided to change the name so as not to affect the image of our force. And this caused a lot of imbalance in resources, so my grandson and I searched for opportunities in these mountains."
"And we didn't expect that we, grandfather and grandson, would come across such a portal that led to the Ancient Shen Clan," Xiao Ding explained.
However, Shen Xuan, listening to Xiao Ding, paid more attention to the micro expressions of Xiao Ding and Xiao Yang.
"Good." He nodded.
"Anyways, where are we going now?" Looking out from the window of the void ship, Shen Xuan asked while rubbing his forehead, as if he was going through some pain.
"Young Master Shen, we have to go northeast of the Yunshui Continent, and currently, we are in the west of the Yunshui Continent." At this time, it was not Xiao Ding but rather Xiao Yang who spoke, coming towards him and placing his hand on his shoulder in a very friendly way.
"Get your hand off my shoulder!" The moment Xiao Yang placed his hand on his shoulder, a terrifyingly chilling sound came from the mouth of Shen Xuan, as if he was offended by the act of Xiao Yang.
"This… young master, I just placed my hand on your shoulder. Have I done anything wrong?" Xiao Yang felt that he was insulted by this, but he controlled his emotion and asked.
"Get off right now…!!" This time, it was an even more chilling voice.
Xiao Yang's face turned ashen. He didn't expect that Shen Xuan would not even give him face, even after doing this much. So, not to offend him, he silently pulled his hand back from Shen Xuan's shoulder and looked from behind, where Shen Xuan was watching the scenery of this world.
While traveling through the void above the Tianxu Mountains, the vast range of mountains seemed to stretch endlessly across the horizon of the Yunshui Continent like the spine of a dragon.
The towering peaks of the mountains pierced the clouds and reached the sky, while draped in snow and glowing with faint chaotic lights.
Below them, the boundless forest spread across the Tianxu Mountain range like a green ocean.
Roars of spiritual beasts rolled through the mountains, those terrifying sounds shaking the clouds themselves.
Those beasts who could fly soared freely through the boundless sky, while others hid beneath the waterfalls.
Streams of pure essence flowed through the valleys, forming rivers of energy nourishing the land.
Sitting at the edge of the void ship, Shen Xuan silently gazed at the magnificent world.
His calm eyes were ancient, carrying the weight of countless ages, as though he had once stood above all creation and was now looking at the reflection of what had been lost to time itself.
At this time, not only the face of Xiao Yang but also that of Xiao Ding was silent.
Both grandfather and grandson looked at each other and finally nodded.
"Haha… young master, please forgive my grandson. He is a little bit arrogant. He didn't have any wrong intentions; he just wanted to make friends with a talented and clever person like you. After all, this guy doesn't have too many friends." Xiao Ding stepped forward between them and pulled his long beard down with gentle force and spoke in a flattering tone so as not to offend Shen Xuan.
Hmm…!
Shen Xuan didn't turn around, just analyzed their words and tone while speaking.
A disdainful smile formed on his lips, as if everything was futile in his eyes.
While in the back, Xiao Ding patted Xiao Yang to calm himself down.

While traveling, it was already evening when they reached only the middle of the Yunshui Continent.
Usually, for the Chaos Lord Realm, with their speed, they could already travel from one point to another in just a few hours. However, due to the presence of Xiao Yang and Shen Xuan, the void ship was for traveling, but it couldn't go at the speed of the Chaos Lord Realm unless the level of the void ship was very high.
The sun in the Yunshui continent had just set when a small void ship landed at the edge of the magnificent and most prominent cityy in the entire central continent of the Yunshui, Heiyun city.
----
Inside the void ship.
Shen Xuan, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes when Xiao Yang came in front of him.
"Young Master Shen, today we will rest in Heiyun City for two days. We will set off for the Lingchuan Hall after that," Xiao Yang stood a few metres apart from Shen Xuan, where he was sitting.
"Oohh...!!"
There was no heavy reaction from Shen Xuan's side. It was normal.
"Have we already reached there?" After that, he asked.
"Yes, Young Master," Xiao Yang nodded quietly.
"And Young Master, we should get down from the void ship. The Heiyun City is restricted to flying; even for the Chaos Lord Realm, they are not allowed in this city," Xiao Yang said respectfully.
"Ohh... is the flying really restricted, or is the power of this city stronger, that's why?" Not taking Xiao Yang's words to heart, he asked back.
"Uh... Young Master, although our Lingchuan Hall is strong, it can only rank in the top ten in the entire Yunshui Continent, but Heiyun City is backed by the strongest sect in the Luoshui World. And not to mention, there is already a top-level Chaos Lord Realm expert sitting in the city." Shaking his head, Xiao Yang said with some fear.
The moment he heard it, Shen Xuan's eyes fluttered.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get down to the city." After saying this, Shen Xuan came out from the room of the void ship and then looked at the massive city in front of him from the void ship.
"This city is just good, not too much," he lamented in his heart.
Though it had some prosperity, compared to the top-level or even high-level plane cities in his era, this city felt too weak and small.
At this time, Xiao Ding, at the front of the void ship, looked back where Shen Xuan followed with Xiao Yang.
"Young Master, we should get down." Without waiting for a reply from Shen Xuan, Xiao Ding lowered the void ship in front of the huge city gate.
Then all three people stepped down from the void ship.
However, it was different for Shen Xuan.
The moment his bare feet left the void ship, they levitated above the ground just a few inches.
And one thing, it was not the realm of Shen Xuan that allowed him to levitate but rather the power of law and respect for who he once was, or it may have been for a different reason.
And the same was true for his other foot; it never touched the ground.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ding said to them.
The trio moved toward the huge city, where a few guards were standing and guarding the city's main gate, and a few people were entering the city with their personal belongings.
"Stop!"
As they moved toward the gate, a guard in silver-plated armour stopped in front of Xiao Ding, pointed his spear, and asked.
Xiao Ding looked at the guards and took out a pouch, handed it over to the guards, then took out a token from his storage ring and showed it to them.
"Hmm...! You three can go now!" The guards in front of them checked something in the pouch and then the token, and made way for them to enter the city.
"Young Master, let's go inside the city. We will live here for today and take the void ship tomorrow."
Shen Xuan listened to Xiao Ding but didn't say anything right now. He noticed the signal from Xiao Ding and followed.
---*-
Inside the city
On the broad road of the city, Shen Xuan and the other two were walking and looking at the people who were enjoying shopping with their families, while some mortal people were being beaten by those cultivators, who came here in the city usually for the buisiness.
Seeing this, Shen Xuan shook his head in pity, not knowing what he was thinking.
Waking in the left side of the wide road, his cold scanning everything, but immune to almost everything he saw.
