Xianxia: Against The Trend

Knowing of some truths

Standing in the new environment Huang was already recovering from the strange dizzy feeling.

At the same time, he was sure that there were indeed strong individuals in the human sects.

The ability to create such a huge space and all the books he could see were pilled up in rows.

This was already a time he was sure, he could not read all the books within a year.

"How is this possible, all the books in this place are too much for even a sect branch. Considering the numerous branches available even in this county alone such a collection of books can't exist." he moved towards the books that mention the history and geography of this world.

After looking around for some time he moved in a certain direction and picked up a book from the shelf. It seemed to offer an introduction to the world.

'Four billion years ago the world was certainly divided into several regions due to some unknown phenomenon. At this time, cultivation was not yet developed and the strongest people were referred to as grandmasters. They practiced martial arts and it only allowed them to be slightly stronger, faster and nothing more.'

' In such a world the sudden change brought about numerous problems as the separation of regions resulted in panic. It wasn't before long that the world seemed to expand. At the same time, special energy was being infused into the world. For the grandmasters, this was a good thing as they managed to absorb the energy and convert it into qi. Due to nourishment of the energy, their strength improved very much.'

'Despite the increasing strength, their happiness couldn't last long as several large wormholes appeared in several parts of the world. In the beginning, the huge wormholes were just treated as rumors but once discovered even the grandmasters seemed to have heard of them. Thinking of it as an opportunity some went camping near the regions.'

'In the end, things did indeed not disappoint as the breadth coming from the huge holes released a different kind of energy. Grandmasters thus each took a fancy to control their holes to avoid sharing benefits. Things however did not end up the way they thought.'

' Once the wormholes stabilized, some movements could be heard and grandmasters were overwhelmed with a group of dark species low ranking soldiers. The level was not high enough but the fight resulted in some dying due to being surrounded and exhausted. At the time, mankind indeed did not have many grandmasters.'

' The only assurance was that the dark creatures that came from the wormholes were low level and thus possessed inferior abilities. The situation happened for close to several decades and at this time the world was changing even some people managed to obtain weapons from the dark species killed in the war and upon studying them realized the weapons were unique. Some were even stronger than grandmasters couldn't damage them.'

'Being intelligent they immediately realized that the situation was not in any way good as the number of such weapons kept being discovered. Some humans even ended up collaborating with the dark species to obtain some cultivation techniques.'

'At this time becoming a grandmaster was not very difficult and even a few old people had managed to go further. Some people collaborated with the dark species and managed to also get themselves techniques at the expense of human lives.'

'In the next time, development of humans was forced into being as a system was necessary to allow growth, not more experts.'

'In the same breath, the number of high-level dark species started to increase. It was either due to adapting to the world or coming to this world with enough resources. In such a way humans felt it urgent as the dark species could convert humans but it was only if they willingly surrendered.'

'In another several hundred years the number of humans experts grew due to managing to steal resources brought from the other side even studied the cultivation techniques and gained some understanding thus creating some and distributing them. The impact might have not been very successful in the short term but it inspired some humans to also review and edit the cultivation technique until it was more effective.'

'In the same spirit, some human experts tried to change the cultivation system numerous times over the years. Some even become strong enough to leave the world and visit the outside only to come back with numerous collections of techniques and even cultivation systems.'

As he read through the books he came to some understanding. The most important thing was that the wormholes disappeared after a thousand years but the war did not stop.

Some species were born from the dark species and kept spreading in the human world and sometimes they could even summon stronger individuals from their dark clan through sacrifices.

The list of information was not what caught him by surprise but the fact that the world was a connection of different stars together that have been conquered over the years.

This statement made him even more shocked, as it is not a simple thing to move stars together.

At the same time, he understood that what was written in the books might just be a partial truth.

The actual situation might be very scary and thus the ones in authority prefer to not make young disciples flustered.

After taking close to a week he could at most read one book.

His understanding of the world was also transformed completely.

"This world is not as safe as it appears on the surface, if I want to survive I should also take my cultivation seriously. Currently, as a disciple, I can take advantage of the benefits I'm receiving at the moment. I wonder how many books I can read in a year."

Standing there dazed, he did not take up another book but headed towards the exit. The token trembled slightly and he found himself in the original position but he seemed emaciated.
