After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Through the three people's accounts, Xu Qingman and her husband learned how much these three had experienced over the past twenty years—enough to fill a book.

For the first few years after Xu Shuyi and the other two left, nothing much happened; they just went to some mountains to hunt monsters and gather some spiritual herbs.

Although they encountered some crises, they were all easily resolved thanks to the pills and talismans given by Xu Qingman and her husband.

However, in the seventh year after they set out, the group accidentally entered an ancient teleportation array while venturing into a secret realm, and were teleported to a desolate place.

That place is called the Land of No Spirits because it is truly devoid of spiritual energy. Once you arrive there, not only will your cultivation be useless, but you won't even be able to open your personal storage magic treasures.

Fortunately, the brother and sister persisted in practicing martial arts, and even without cultivation, their considerable martial arts skills allowed them to protect themselves.

"Is it dangerous there? Otherwise, why would you say that?" Xu Qingman asked.

Hearing her mother ask this, Xu Shuyin said with lingering fear, "Father, Mother, you don't know, we were teleported to a big mountain, where there are many large wild beasts."

Fortunately, before we left, you made sure the three of us always carried a weapon, and my brother and I have been practicing body tempering, otherwise we would have been wolf food.

Xu Qinghe also said with lingering fear, "Yes, luckily my Shuyi and Shuyin are powerful, otherwise we would have been doomed there."

More than a hundred cultivators were transported there at the time, but fewer than twenty of them survived and made it out of the mountains.

Besides those dozen or so who persisted in body training, there were also those like me who had someone protecting them; the remaining hundred or so were left to be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

Finally, Xu Qinghe added, "From now on, if you make me train my body, I will never be lazy again. I promise to learn excellent martial arts."

Yu Jinchen asked, "Then why did it take you so many years to come out? Did you only just find the teleportation array?"

"No, Father, that place is called the Land of No Spirits, how could there be a teleportation array there? That requires spiritual power."

Then, Xu Shuyi began to talk about the ten years she spent inside.

When they first encountered a pack of wolves, these people thought that with over a hundred people and all being cultivators, there was no way they could be defeated by a few dozen ordinary wolves.

Little did they know that while there were many people, less than 20% had weapons, and that they couldn't use them due to their cultivation levels.

Cultivators without cultivation are not much better off than ordinary people. Apart from being slightly healthier, they will still lose their lives if they face a pack of wolves.

After finally managing to kill off the wolves, only about fifty of the original one hundred and thirty-one people remained.

Then came wild boars, tigers, and other such creatures. By the time the group finally emerged from the mountains, less than twenty people remained.

Even worse, these people gradually began to feel hungry.

Having cultivated immortality for so many years, I haven't known the taste of hunger since before I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, except for the period before I could abstain from grains.

Although I sometimes eat some food, it's just for the sake of satisfying my appetite.

So when they came out of the mountains and saw a small village at the foot of the mountain, everyone's first reaction was to use their prey to exchange for some food.

But when they entered the village, they realized what true despair was. The village was dilapidated, which was bad enough, but there wasn't a single villager in it. It was obvious that there were some farmlands outside the village, which was very strange.

At first, they all thought something had happened to the villagers, but after searching every house, they finally understood.

It turned out that this village was not the original mountain village they thought it was, but a place where cultivators, like them, had been transported from the Lingchuan Continent.

According to their records, these people must have stayed in this desolate place for a full ten years.

Furthermore, they were also brought here from a secret realm, and when they first arrived, they also lost most of their people in the mountains.

Once they arrived, these people spent some time turning the place upside down, but they just couldn't find their way back.

What's even stranger is that this desolate place is like a cage, and all the places combined are only about a hundred miles in circumference.

As soon as you reach the boundary line, you will be bounced back by a layer of misty membrane.

After that, these people gave up hope. Fortunately, there was a relatively flat area here. They used their weapons to clear out some fields and planted some edible plants on the mountain.

They managed to settle down there by gathering mountain produce, hunting, and planting crops.

Furthermore, two couples married, had several children, and lived a quiet, secluded life.

But all of this was shattered ten years later. One day in the tenth year, a gap suddenly opened on the border that had always been shrouded in mist, and a line of words appeared, telling them that if they went through it, they could return to the Lingchuan Continent.

Hearing this, Xu Qingman and her husband were stunned. This was truly a cruel twist of fate.

They had been searching for a way out but couldn't find one. However, just when they resigned themselves to staying and living as ordinary people, the way out inexplicably appeared on its own.

Hearing this, Yu Jinchen asked with certainty, "So this so-called Land of Severed Spirits actually opens automatically once every ten years?"

Xu Qinghe nodded, "That's right, brother-in-law, you guessed correctly. The group of people in front recorded all the little things they had encountered over the past ten years by carving words on bamboo strips."

And after someone discovered the passage was open, they hurriedly left a final message at the last minute, telling us that those who went in later didn't need to rush, just wait patiently, and we could leave after ten years.

Sister, brother-in-law, do you know? It wasn't until we saw these things that we finally settled down and obediently stayed inside for the full ten years.

In the past ten years, I not only learned martial arts from Shuyi and her siblings, but I also learned how to farm and grow vegetables, hehehe.

Xu Qingman looked at them in confusion, "That's not right. If you couldn't cultivate for ten whole years, how come your cultivation levels are so high?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuyin smiled mysteriously, then playfully pushed Xu Shuyi and said, "Mother, that's another story. The protagonist of this story is my eldest brother. Now, let my eldest brother, Fellow Daoist Xu Shuyi, answer everyone's questions."

Seeing that his parents were watching him, Xu Shu didn't keep them waiting and started talking right away.

"After we learned that we would have to stay in the Land of Desolation for ten years, we began to learn from those who came before us and work hard to grow crops and hunt to support ourselves."

Five years passed like this. One day, my sister, my uncle, and I agreed to go hunting together.

Over the past few years, most of the small animals on the outskirts of the mountains have been hunted down, and my uncle's martial arts skills have improved, so we decided to venture deeper into the mountains.

And it was during this trip that your son also unexpectedly obtained something extraordinary.
