Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

Two hundred years later.

On a plain on the outskirts of the Chaos Mountains, courtyards, inns, and shops have been built.

What was once a desolate place is now bustling with activity.

The world calls this place Chaos Town. It was built by all the major powers on the Lingyun Continent, who set up camp here so that they could enter the Chaos Mountains once every ten years.

Furthermore, each major power left behind a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to cultivate in seclusion and maintain order in the area.

Initially, only the Snow Sword Sect and the Cloud Gang Sect knew the secret of the Chaos Mountains.

As more and more cultivators from the two sects broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, it attracted the attention of the other two sects in the Northern Region.

But someone leaked the secret of this place, making it known to all the forces on the Lingyun Continent.

Therefore, when they entered the Chaos Mountains for the tenth time, all the forces on the Lingyun Continent came here.

At the beginning, it even triggered a bloody battle, but even the four holy lands of the Northern Region could not withstand such attrition.

Only then did they sit down and come up with a peaceful solution: the number of people entering the Chaos Mountains each time should not exceed fifty.

As for those who enter, if a conflict arises among them, they must not fight again after they come out, regardless of who dies.

Furthermore, there are restrictions on entering the Chaos Mountains; only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are allowed to enter.

If someone is above the Nascent Soul stage and tries to force their way in, they will not only be knocked away but also suffer severe soul damage.

It's not very useful for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to enter, since the place is designed to help Nascent Soul stage cultivators comprehend the laws of heaven more easily, rather than to improve their cultivation.

Today marks the twentieth opportunity to enter the Chaos Mountains. Some independent cultivators or families from smaller forces arrived early, waiting for their chance to enter.

Although there are only fifty slots available each time, after the first nineteen attempts...

These major powers no longer have many Nascent Soul stage cultivators left who are comprehending the laws of heaven.

These extra spots would allow smaller factions to secure a place in the Chaos Mountains.

So they arrived here early, prepared some treasures to offer to these powerful forces, in order to secure a spot.

At this moment, an inn in Chaos Town was already filled with rogue cultivators, who were drinking and chatting.

"Have you heard? That icy beauty from the Ye family of Zhongzhou will also be coming here this time. I've heard she's the number one young talent in Zhongzhou. I really want to see her in person."

Upon hearing this, one of the people next to the speaker chuckled and said.

"The Ye family is merely one of the lowest-ranking families in Central Continent. Even if this fairy were to arrive, she would likely be targeted by other families in Central Continent after entering the Chaos Mountains, and perish there."

Upon hearing this person's words, the person who had spoken earlier quickly covered his mouth with his hand, made a shushing gesture, and warned him.

"Are you out of your mind? Although the Ye family is the lowest-ranking family in Zhongzhou, they are not people like us who can afford to offend them."

Upon hearing his reminder, the man hurriedly looked around. After realizing that there was nothing unusual, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and said in a trembling voice.

"You really shouldn't drink too much of this wine; look, it almost caused a disaster."

After saying that, the man still looked shaken, constantly raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Seeing him like this, the person who had just reminded him also looked frightened and sighed.

"It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman, because of her extraordinary talent, might perish in the Chaos Mountains."

After saying that, both of them showed a look of regret on their faces.

However, not far from the two, by the window, a handsome young man stood with his hands clenched tightly, his eyes filled with anger.

After a moment, the young man calmed down, put down some spirit stones, stood up, glanced at the two people who had just been talking, and then turned and left the inn, heading towards a courtyard.

The boy's departure went unnoticed by the others in the inn, who assumed he was just another rogue cultivator seeking an opportunity.

Then, discussions about the talented disciples of these major powers resounded in the inn, but this time they were somewhat subdued.

On the other hand, the handsome young man stopped in front of a courtyard gate, pushed it open, and slowly walked in.

As soon as the young man entered the courtyard, he saw a woman with an exceptionally beautiful face sitting in a pavilion, leisurely sipping spiritual tea.

Seeing that the woman was still in the mood to drink tea, the young man quickly walked to the pavilion and sat down angrily.

The woman holding the cup with her delicate hands smiled upon seeing the boy's appearance and chuckled softly.

"Who dared to provoke our little tyrant?"

Hearing the woman's teasing, the boy looked at her pitifully and said with a look of utter despair.

"Sis, stop teasing me. You have no idea how angry I was when I heard someone cursing you, but I didn't react right then and there."

Upon hearing this, the woman looked at him with surprise, and then reassured him.

"Alright, you've done well. The family is at a critical juncture right now, and we can't afford any unforeseen complications."

The woman sighed softly before continuing.

"Let them say what they want; it's not like it'll cost them anything."

Seeing the woman say this, the young man was still somewhat indignant and said coldly.

"But what those people said went too far; they actually said you would perish within the Chaos Mountains."

Upon hearing this, the woman showed no emotion on her face, but looked at the boy and said softly.

Do you believe that my sister will perish in the Chaos Mountains?

Upon hearing the woman's question, the boy was taken aback, then shook his head vigorously and said...

"I don't believe you, but you're the only one from the family who entered the Chaos Mountains this time. If they join forces, then..."

The boy didn't finish his sentence, but the woman could tell what he wanted to say. She put down her cup, looked towards the Chaos Mountains, and spoke slowly.

Even if they join forces, I believe I can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage and emerge from there.

Seeing that the young man wanted to say something, the woman raised her delicate hand, gently stroked his head, and chuckled.

"I will definitely come out alive so that my lovely little brother can grow up."

Upon hearing the woman's words, a resolute look appeared on the young man's face. He then patted his chest and said...

"When I grow up, I will definitely protect my sister from any harm."

Hearing the boy's words, the woman's smile deepened. She gently stroked his head and laughed.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you to protect me."

After saying that, the two of them laughed happily.

Suddenly, an old man pushed open the door and walked in. After seeing the boy and the woman, he said respectfully.

"Miss, the other factions have all arrived; we can enter the Chaos Mountains now."
