I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Looking at the completely changed world map, Mann said with some surprise:

"Do you mean to say that you also live on this planet with us, but no one has noticed?"

Xiaoyao said with a smile:

"That's right. Not only are you unaware, but most low-level cultivators and mortals in our world don't know about this either. The magic of the immortals and demons can deceive the heavens and change the earth. You couldn't possibly find our existence no matter what."

Surprise still lingered on Mann's face:

"Does the Federation know about this?"

Xiaoyao shook his head:

"Of course not. They really want to get the location of the cultivation world from me, but they can't imagine that we actually live on the same landmass, separated by an ocean."

Mann asked:

"And you're willing to tell me this secret."

Xiaoyao said with a smile:

"Of course. It's not a secret that needs to be kept. I'm not worried about the Federation knowing about this. I didn't tell them simply because I didn't want to. No matter what, they can't find a way to enter the cultivation world.

"There's no clear actual boundary between the cultivation world and the desolate world. It's more like, under the interference of some powerful force, you can never approach the land and sea where the other is located. We all regard our own location as a planet, so we naturally accept the fact that when you keep going forward, you'll keep going around this planet.

"But in reality, you're just being sent back by illusions. In the most extreme cases, you and we can be only a few meters apart on the ocean, but even Shenxiao couldn't meet us there.

"It was the immortals who divided the world into two sides."

Mann said with some doubt:

"So you might actually be hiding near us, but we can't realize it."

Xiaoyao shook his head:

"No, it's not just that you can't cross the two realms. Even the strongest half-immortals can't destroy the dividing line that separates us. Even if some half-immortals can forcibly come here, they'll become extremely weak because of immortal techniques.

"You have to know that this technique was cast jointly by the strongest immortals at the time.

"Otherwise, why do you think we didn't come back here after all the demons disappeared?

"Because they can't do it. You and they are trapped.

"Only I have cultivated the Xiaoyao Technique."

This statement made Mann feel a little more at ease, and it was more in line with his question. If there was still a prosperous world as Xiaoyao described, why didn't they interfere with and influence the world he knew?

However, it was difficult to say how much of what Xiaoyao said was true and how much was false, because everything he said was only known to him. Mann, or anyone else who heard this information, couldn't verify it.

Mann asked:

"So, there's a prosperous world under our feet right now?"

Xiaoyao nodded:

"There's a reason why I'm telling you all this. Our cultivation world is much more prosperous than your desolate land, and all the spiritual energy of this planet is concentrated in the cultivation world. The speed of cultivation there is vastly different from here.

"If you can follow me to cultivate to the Yuanying Transformation God realm, which is what you call Level V, I can take you back to the cultivation world and join my sect. I believe they'll be willing to pour countless resources into you. At that time, breaking through to become a half-immortal will only be a matter of time.

"Moreover, your world has long been morally corrupt. The fools who rule the world are all morally bankrupt, and even your mortals are much more indifferent and bloodthirsty than our mortals. I think you, who once followed Shenxiao, must have hated this ugly world as well.

"In our world, even the most ordinary mortals can live a lifetime without worries or disasters. Even the rare disputes and life-and-death battles between cultivators are often due to differences in beliefs or the pursuit of enlightenment, and they won't affect their teachers and families.

"That's a better world, but if you don't want to go back with me, you can stay here after you cultivate to Yuanying.

"Or freely travel between the two worlds using the Xiaoyao Technique I taught you."

This was the reason why he said so much. Xiaoyao told Mann all this not just because he happened to be talking about it, but to let Mann see the beautiful and prosperous world in his description, and to lure him into becoming his disciple.

But Mann always felt that there must be a lot of lies mixed in with what he said. The main parts should be fine.

But whether the cultivation world that he couldn't reach and see was as beautiful as Xiaoyao described, and what his real purpose was, remained to be seen.

Xiaoyao said in a very sincere tone:

"The reason I want to take you as my disciple is because I don't want to see a genius like you waste his life in the desolate world. I want you to appreciate the real beauty of the scenery, and I want to invite you to become a fellow cultivator seeking the Dao together."

Hearing this, Mann also showed a hesitant expression very cooperatively:

"If what you said is true, then I really think it's necessary to follow you to learn..."

Seeing that he was already struggling, Xiaoyao said directly:

"The anti-mind metal is just a gift I gave you for becoming my disciple. If you're willing to join my sect, I've prepared other gifts as well.

"I've already prepared several good magical treasures for you, and if you can cultivate to the Jindan realm, then I can give you a killing spiritual treasure that I once used, and help you refine it into your natal spiritual treasure.

"This spiritual treasure, in your words, is a Level V anomalous entity. Although you may not be able to fully control it in the Jindan realm, it's still easy to kill other cultivators in the same realm with its help.

"Moreover, I'll teach you many techniques that people here can't imagine how to defend against. Don't think that you can't learn the art of fighting just because of Du Jin. That's because I didn't teach him my real good techniques.

"Of course, it's not that I don't want to, but he's too stupid compared to you. The really useful techniques can't be mastered without spending hundreds of years, so it's better to focus on breaking through to Yuanying.

"Moreover, if you join my sect, although you'll be cultivating the same Xiaoyao Gong that he cultivates, this technique will definitely be far superior on you, and if you can cultivate to the Yuanying realm, you can freely travel between the two worlds and no longer fear ordinary killing techniques.

"There will be no shortage of various spiritual pills and natural treasures, and if you want to learn, you can also study the art of pills. I'll also give you pills that can extend the lives of your relatives and friends. If you want, you can also exchange them with the Federation for other treasures.

"They definitely won't be able to figure out what's going on with these pills, because they don't understand magic. And after you learn the art of pills, you can also make your own pills at will and sell them to those greedy and fearful mortals.

"Moreover, cultivation itself can prolong life. Foundation Establishment has three hundred years of life, Jindan can live for a thousand years, and Yuanying has eight thousand years of life even without eating any pills or natural treasures.

"How about it, do you want to become my disciple?"

There will be more after midnight, but it is recommended to read it tomorrow morning.
