"A method of cultivation that began to form only in recent years."

Chang Xin's expression was somewhat obscure, making it impossible to read any emotion: "We have sacrificed way too much for transcendence."

Although Chang Xin spoke casually, Lu Ren could fully imagine that during her so-called Great Wilderness Era, countless human experiments were probably conducted over indeterminable years, using extremely primitive methods to develop various cultivation techniques to discover this path of cultivation.

It can be said that everything Lu Ren cultivates now is absolutely a dark history in the era of cultivation's emergence.

Lu Ren asked, "Is this place the first one discovered?"

"It was the Supreme. He was the first to attain the Taoism Fruit, allowing his life to leap and enter the Seeking Truth Realm. From then on, our Great Wilderness Era entered a golden age. In the Seeking Truth Realm, there are many incredible things, acquiring which can push one's Divine Soul and life to unimaginable levels."

Chang Xin's face turned serious: "However, in this Seeking Truth Realm, there also exist many terrifying entities, and these things remain unknown until this day."

Lu Ren showed interest: "Who was this Supreme? Is he still alive?"

"I don't know. That individual has reached realms beyond our imagination."

Speaking of this, Chang Xin's face grew incredibly complex: "By the time I fell into slumber and the mythical Spiritual Mechanism faded, the Supreme had already left Earth to pursue the ultimate secrets of the Cosmos."

"Those enormous monsters in the Seeking Truth Realm that make one's Divine Soul tremble just at the sight of them?"

"Those are True Gods, primarily natives of the Seeking Truth Realm." Chang Xin's face turned solemn: "Although they are very rare in the Seeking Truth Realm, there have been encounters during the Great Wilderness Era. If not for the intervention of those top-tier supreme experts led by the Supreme, Earth would have been destroyed."

"Although many of those beings seldom move, they indeed have the ability to enter the real world," Chang Xin said gravely: "These entities are truly terrifying, and even the Supreme only has the power to repel them."

"Okay, I now want to ask, does this Moon Palace in the Seeking Truth Realm have Chang'e?"

"I don't know."

Chang Xin, looking through Lu Ren's sight at the stretching palace complex ahead, said with some disbelief: "I can hardly imagine someone would establish their residence in the Seeking Truth Realm, not fearing being permanently marked by it and being dragged into it never to return to the real world."

Lu Ren's expression slightly shifted at these words, realizing there is a complete disconnection between the mythical world of modern society and the Great Wilderness Era where Chang Xin found herself.

The Great Wilderness Era was entirely unrecorded in history. Even though Lu Ren had studied many historical documents at the Security Bureau, there was not a single mention of the Great Wilderness Era, not even a fragmentary trace.

At most, there's a reference to a lost civilization predating recorded human history.

With no concrete answers from Chang Xin, Lu Ren no longer obsessed over this matter and refocused on the Moon Palace.

In ancient myths passed down through modern times, Wu Gang is depicted endlessly chopping down the Osmanthus tree under the moon, and Chang'e resides in the Moon Palace.

If what Chang Xin said is true, and staying in the Seeking Truth Realm long-term means being unable to return to the real world, then maybe by that era, the way to stay in the Seeking Truth Realm long-term and still return had been discovered.

The Kunlun Exotic Realm and the Underworld have already begun to gradually integrate into the real world, and according to ancient sayings, with the convergence of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Realms, the Spiritual Mechanism would revive, bringing back Ancient Immortal Gods.

The future is completely unpredictable now.

Lu Ren sighed inwardly, composed himself a bit, and began walking towards the grandest and most magnificent structure within the sprawling palace complex.

All along the way were ruins, collapsed white jade pillars, dried-up ponds, with faint traces of winding corridors.

Yet all of this has completely disappeared into history with the passage of time, leaving only faint traces.

Reaching the front of the main hall, most of it had collapsed, and some sneaky things unique to the Seeking Truth Realm lurked in dark corners, watching stealthily.

Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to these, as they had almost become a norm in the Seeking Truth Realm, akin to dust in the real world.

Harmless, but disgusting.

They may be harmless, but to an ordinary person, they are still quite dangerous.

Ascending the steps into the main hall, Lu Ren reached out, removing an unknown purple beam atop the stone pillars ahead.

As Lu Ren moved, this palace complex, silent for seemingly millennia, finally made a sound.

Did it make a sound?

Lu Ren slightly raised an eyebrow, quite surprised that this place could transmit sound; was there air outside?

A pore on his body slightly contracted and expanded, carefully absorbing some of the outside gases. After filtering through that strange membrane in his body, he relaxed slightly and then took a deep breath of Long Qi.

This place surprisingly contains air, with a rather high concentration of negative oxygen ions. If one lived in such an environment for long, it would undoubtedly promote longevity and health.

After clearing away the debris in front, he was greeted with an interior decorated like a woman's boudoir.

The decor looked delicate, and the large bed was covered in silk whose material was unknown, having undergone countless ages yet remaining unchanged, aside from a layer of dust; the soft colors within were still visible.

Lu Ren gently touched the silk, and the next moment, under his slight touch, it vibrated and shattered into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

Around him were a bed, a copper mirror, a dressing table, and some small wooden puppet-like trinkets, alongside furniture made of an unknown wood.

Despite the passage of so much time, they remained unchanged, an incredibly rare occurrence.

"So, you're saying the Seeking Truth Realm is dependent on the real world?"

In response to Lu Ren's question, Chang Xin shook her head slightly: "You can't really say that; one can't exist without the other. The real world is a safe place that accommodates living beings, but the Seeking Truth Realm is more like a dark side of the cosmic world, a world filled with negative energy attributes."

Chang Xin ran her fingers through her hair, saying calmly: "Everything in the world is divided into Yin and Yang, positive and negative. To explore the ultimate secrets and pursue true immortality and eternal life, we focused on the Seeking Truth Realm after confirming that the positive world held nothing we desired."
