Cultivation World: Partners in Paranormal Cases

The head of the Hehuan Sect was found dead in a sealed chamber, his cultivation completely gone, the formation intact. The Inspection Office ruled it a case of “cultivation deviation.”

Shen Lu, a clerk in the Case Files Division, leafed through the dossier. The System gave him one clue:

“There are records of the three access points at the scene. The victim opened them only twice.”

Who opened the third?

He filed a request to reopen the investigation. His superiors shut him down: “This case is closed. Keep digging, and you won’t be staying in the Case Files Division either.”

That night, Shen Lu slipped the dossier to Qin Pojun, director of the Seventh Bureau:

“Director Qin, I dare investigate this case. Do you dare take it on?”

Qin Pojun glanced at the red “CLOSED” stamp on the cover and tore it off.

“Let’s go.”

Later, they uncovered the Hehuan Sect’s Gu, the Puppet Sect’s living puppets, and the Immortal Music Sect’s Soul-Breaking Zither...

Every closed old case bore the same stamp on its cover.

And behind every stamp lay the same destination:

Tiangong Pavilion.

Six hundred thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dao System was written there.

Six hundred thousand years later, a System notification sent Shen Lu a line of text:

“Case File No. 724 detected. Reviewer: Qin Pojun.”

Shen Lu looked up.

Qin Pojun stood before him, his eyes darkening.

“That case... was my master’s. He died after investigating it.”
