This world is a little different. However, for Shen Xuan, a local native, everything was taken for granted. Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on us. He, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, was forced to become a rogue cultivator after being the young master of the Law Enforcement Hall. He originally wanted to pretend to be a Qi Refining cultivator and quietly develop his skills, but he didn't expect that there were big shots pretending to be newbies everywhere. The next dungeon seemed to be full of Qi Refining cultivators, but as soon as the big boss appeared, he was hacked to pieces by all sorts of magical treasures and talismans... Is it really necessary? Even the Gou Daoliu school of thought is so competitive? Non-system, no cheating, high strategy, story-driven. No female lead, gender equality, please don't criticize if this goes beyond the mainstream. The protagonist is not a soul-transmigrated individual; he needs time to grow. Everyone has top-tier intelligence! Supporting characters are not mere extras, nor are they stereotypical. Please add this to your favorites if you like it!
