The Great Xia Dynasty!

Liusha County Gazetteer: In the Tianqi Era, Huangshan Village mysteriously disappeared overnight, with only giant beast claw marks left in the village.

The local county yamen closed the case within a day, citing that Huangshan Village had encountered fierce beasts from the deep mountains.

Yunze County Gazetteer: In the Tianqi Era, Jinlin Township suddenly encountered a torrential downpour, leading to widespread flooding.

Some people saw a massive creature in the sky, suspected to be a Flood Dragon, soaring through the clouds and rain, turning the world upside down.

After the flood receded, the local county yamen reported it to the Fu City, citing a collapsed river embankment.

Lanshan County Gazetteer: In the Tianqi Era, a prominent Family in the county town all died violently overnight.

Regardless of gender or age, their entire bodies emitted a strange, icy aura, their skin was grayish-white, and their pupils were distorted with fear.

The local county yamen hastily closed the case, claiming the entire Family had encountered ruthless mountain bandits, and simultaneously issued a bounty for the Black Wind Stronghold bandits outside the city.

...

In a spacious and bright room, there was a desk carved from high-grade sandalwood.

On the chair in front of the desk sat a young man with a sturdy and tall physique.

The young man's face, though handsome, revealed a hint of firmness, with long, ink-black hair, dressed in a black brocade robe.

At this moment, the desk in front of the young man was covered with books, and he held a yellowed book in his hand, reading it with a solemn expression.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

The sound of pages turning softly echoed, increasing in frequency, until with a light thud, the young man placed the book on the desk.

“Alas, I didn't expect such things to exist in this world.”

Supernatural?

Eerie?

Demonic?

The young man's name was Lu Xuan, and he harbored a secret unknown to others: he was not from this world.

Twenty years ago, he was a 996 corporate slave on Blue Star, enjoying social benefits.

During a late-night overtime session, he suddenly lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes again, he had become a newborn infant in this world.

Having read countless web novels, Lu Xuan knew without a doubt that he had Transmigrated.

At the same time, like thousands of Transmigration predecessors, he also carried a System with him; he could see an attribute panel floating in his mind.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Blood Refinement Realm (Perfection)

Cultivation Technique: Blazing Fire Saber Technique 9/9 (Major Achievement)

Points: 1

Blazing Fire Saber Technique was a saber technique Lu Xuan unexpectedly obtained from his Family's archives.

Therefore, Lu Xuan secretly cultivated this saber technique from a young age, practicing it until now to its highest Realm, Major Achievement.

With the attribute System, as long as he had enough points, Lu Xuan could use them to add to Martial Dao Cultivation Techniques, allowing him to quickly grasp the mysteries of the Cultivation Technique.

As for the acquisition of points, Lu Xuan discovered it by accident after consuming a potent medicinal herb on one occasion.

As long as he consumed highly nourishing items, such as medicinal herbs with rich potency, or the flesh and blood of fierce monsters from the wilderness, he would gain points.

Yes, this world actually had the existence of Martial Dao, where ordinary people could practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.

Lu Xuan had seen records in ancient books of powerful individuals who could shatter mountains and rivers, chase stars and suns, and cut off rivers.

Lu Xuan didn't know if these immortal-like abilities were real.

However, the current Lu Xuan could indeed easily shatter a one-meter-tall boulder with his bare hands.

As someone in the Blood Refinement Realm, Lu Xuan's skin was like steel, his bones like gold and stone, and his Qi and blood surged like a rainbow.

According to the information Lu Xuan knew, the Martial Artist Realms in this world were:

Skin Refinement, Flesh Refinement, Bone Refinement, Marrow Refinement, Blood Refinement.

Each Realm was further divided into several stages:

Initial Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection.

Only after all five upper Realms were completely refined would the human body produce a mysterious Inner Energy, possessing incredible power.

This Realm was called the Inner Qi Realm.

Lu Xuan had never seen the existence of this Realm since he was born.

It was said that such legendary Inner Energy masters only existed in the Fu City.

However, Lu Xuan firmly believed that with his System, he would eventually reach that Realm one day.

At the age of twenty, he was already at Blood Refinement Perfection.

If this news were to spread, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

According to Lu Xuan, the strongest Martial Artist in Qingyun County was Chief Constable Chen Shi of the county yamen, who was at Bone Refinement Realm Perfection—a result of refining for most of his life.

Yet, Lu Xuan, who had only lived for twenty years, had already refined to Blood Refinement Perfection, just one step away from the legendary Inner Energy Realm.

It was simply astounding and unbelievable to say it out loud, so Lu Xuan had long hidden his true Realm, publicly claiming to be in the Skin Refinement Realm.

However, at this moment, Lu Xuan's expression was deep and solemn; he had originally thought he could develop discreetly.

With the attribute System he carried, he would eventually become invincible in the world.

Unexpectedly, this world also had damned supernatural powers; Lu Xuan immediately recognized that the records in those county gazetteers were definitely not ordinary matters.

Because, he had now personally experienced and come into contact with these extraordinary and eerie powers.

Two days ago, when Lu Xuan's father, Lu Jiahe, and the pharmacy's apprentices went to various villages to purchase medicinal herbs together.

After staying overnight in a small village in Pingan Township, they woke up in the morning to find that several people had suffered a major incident.

Those affected individuals had pale and distorted faces, constantly and frantically scratching their entire bodies with their hands.

Even though countless blood marks appeared on their bodies, they felt no pain whatsoever.

Terrified, Lu Jiahe quickly sent people to stop them, binding their entire bodies, and rushed back to the county town without delay, not even bothering with the medicinal herb procurement.

As soon as Lu Jiahe returned to the Lu Family, he immediately issued orders to everyone.

No one was allowed to speak of this matter without his permission, and no one was allowed to approach those few individuals.

As the eldest legitimate son of the Lu Family, Lu Xuan naturally knew about this matter and even specifically went to see those few people who suddenly seemed to be possessed.

Even Lu Xuan, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but frown at their miserable state.

Their upper bodies had no intact areas, covered entirely in claw marks where flesh and blood were turned outwards, and their fingers were abnormally bent and fractured.

Yet, even so, their hands still stirred restlessly, wanting to break free from their restraints.

Among these people, there was even one of Lu Xuan's cousins, Lu Jiahe's nephew.

No wonder his father's face was so pale and weak, rushing back in such anxious desperation.

What exactly did they encounter?

Of course, Lu Xuan already had the answer in his heart; he had already thought of certain taboo things in his mind.

Besides those extraordinary and eerie things, what else could turn a normal person into such a twisted and insane state?

...

Thump, thump, thump.

Just as Lu Xuan was lost in thought, a knock came from outside the door, bringing him back to his senses.

“Young Master, the Master is in the back courtyard and wishes to see you urgently. Please come over.”

“Back courtyard?”

Lu Xuan immediately guessed his father Lu Jiahe's intentions.

Because the back courtyard had already been sealed off by Lu Jiahe, used to house those few people who were possessed and went mad.

Besides Lu Xuan, no one else was allowed to enter without Lu Jiahe's command.

Since Lu Jiahe returned to the Lu Family, apart from daily life, he had spent the rest of his time in the back courtyard.

Coincidentally, Lu Xuan was also a little worried about his father and planned to go to the back courtyard.

Lu Xuan could feel an unsettling aura emanating from those individuals.
