Night was approaching.

Shops and stalls in Blackrock City gradually closed down, and stall owners began packing up their stalls.

The pedestrians on the street were all in a hurry, rushing home.

The once bustling and lively atmosphere gradually became deserted.

After wandering around Blackrock City, Gu Xuan and his apprentice found an inn that was about to close and stayed there.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

As night fell, Blackrock City gradually became quiet and still.

As night completely enveloped Blackrock City.

This vast city, resembling a coiled dragon, seems to be shrouded in a mysterious power.

The streets were deserted.

Every house had its doors tightly shut, and not a single ray of light could be seen.

The entire city fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Although Blackstone City was the first formidable pass of the Yaoguang Dynasty.

However, it was still too extravagant to build the entire city entirely with Hun Tian Stone.

Therefore, once night falls...

The monks in Blackrock City would then return to their homes, closing their doors and windows tightly to ensure their safety.

To ward off the eerie forces of the night.

The cultivators would hang Chaos Stones, formed from the chaotic energy emanating from the corpses of ancient gods, on their doors and windows.

It can resist the erosion of strange forces and protect one from their harm.

In the darkness, the resentment formed by the ancient demon's corpse followed like a shadow, mercilessly devouring any exposed life.

Only by hiding under the protection of the Chaos Stone can cultivators remain safe and sound in this pitch-black night.

This rule is a survival principle that everyone living in Taixu knows in their hearts.

Therefore, those living on the outskirts of Taixu are shrouded in an eerie silence at night, without any noise or bustle.

The streets were deserted; not a single person could be seen.

Not to mention nightlife.

Both the night watchman and the patrolling soldiers seemed to have vanished into the darkness.

The entire Taixu land seemed to be sealed off by an invisible force, forming a stark contrast to the bustling scene during the day.

During the day, the streets are bustling with people, filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughing and chatting, brimming with life and energy.

But when night falls, all of this vanishes without a trace, leaving only a deathly silence.

This stark contrast is enough to instill fear in people!

......

Yuelai Inn, in a small courtyard in the backyard.

Fang Li glanced outside through the glass window and saw nothing unusual except for the deathly silence.

This made him wonder a little.

He then turned around, looked at his master Gu Xuan lying in the rocking chair, and asked, "Master, apart from being unusually quiet at night, this Taixu Land seems no different from the outside world?!"

"If you're not afraid of death, you can go out and try it." Gu Xuan picked up the teapot, took a small sip, and glanced at Fang Li.

"die?"

Fang Li asked in surprise and doubt, "Master, don't scare me, is it really that strange?!"

"Give it a try."

"It's hard to reason with a damned ghost," Gu Xuan rolled his eyes.

“Master, you were right before. It’s too dangerous outside. Let’s forget about it.”

Fang Li glanced outside the door, recalling how unusually quiet it had been outside earlier.

He was still a little hesitant to try.

Gu Xuan, who had been leisurely lying in the rocking chair, suddenly sat up straight and glared angrily at Fang Li.

"Since you're too scared to go out, then get out there and start cultivating!"

"Look at your two junior sisters, they're almost at the Immortal Emperor realm!"

"And your fourth junior brother has also made rapid progress in Confucianism and Taoism recently, and is only one step away from the Immortal Emperor realm."

Gu Xuanyue spoke with increasing disappointment and frustration.

His voice unconsciously rose eight octaves!

“Especially your fifth junior brother Xu Xinnian has already reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Emperor realm, while you? You are the eldest senior brother, yet you are still stuck at the Immortal Lord realm.”

Gu Xuan's words were like sharp swords.

It pierced straight into Fang Li's heart, making him so ashamed that he wanted to disappear. He lowered his head in shame, like a frightened ostrich burying its head in the ground.

His face flushed red, and he weakly replied, "Uh... Master, I'll go right away."

Then, Fang Li hurriedly rushed into the inner room.

I was afraid that if I stayed even a second longer, I would be devoured by my master's wrath.

Gu Xuan watched Fang Li leave, said "He is still teachable," and then lay back down in his original spot to continue resting with his eyes closed.

Just then.

The system notification sounded in his mind!

[Ding-dong!]

[The last three fragments of the World Tree have been detected deep within the heart of the Taixu Land—Wuyou Ferry. Please proceed to collect them as soon as possible.]

Um?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan suddenly straightened up again.

The last three fragments of the World Tree are actually in the Worry-Free Ferry deep in the heart of the Taixu Land.

This was something he never expected.

But isn't the depths of the Taixu Land a battlefield of gods and demons? How did something like Wuyou Ferry suddenly appear?!

Puzzled, Gu Xuan pondered and asked the system.

"System, what kind of place is this Worry-Free Ferry?"

【Worry-Free Crossing existed before the formation of the Taixu Land. It is a mysterious space independent of the Xuanhuang Universe, where some of the chaotic gods and demons remaining from the chaotic era live.】

Hearing the system's explanation.

A look of surprise appeared on Gu Xuan's face.
