The sunset in the west cast a warm glow on the clouds, which first appeared orange and gradually transformed into a fiery red. Meanwhile, the crescent moon had already risen in the east, and the stars began to twinkle in the night sky. The day and night coexisted, reflecting off the dense forests below. The trees in the forest were adorned with red leaves, green leaves, and yellow leaves; some were laden with fruit, while others bloomed with flowers. In the distance, towering mountains were shrouded in clouds, obscuring their peaks. The eastern clouds were darkened by shadows, while the western horizon was painted red by the setting sun.
The sun was completely replaced by the moon and stars, creating a dazzling starry sky. He had learned some astronomy from Old Lu, who told him that these stars were manifestations of ancient gods. However, Mo Wen did not believe this; he was convinced that each star represented a different world, and beyond this world lay others where life existed just like in his own.
One day, he would visit those worlds. But at this moment, he felt lost. "Sigh!" The young man lowered his gaze and sighed. His understanding of this world was still very limited, mostly derived from Old Lu's teachings. There were many things Old Lu had not shared with him, merely stating that knowing too much without sufficient strength was not a good thing. At this moment, feeling weak and uncertain about his origins, he sensed that Old Lu must know something about his background but had chosen not to tell him—perhaps because of his lack of power.
"I must become strong!" The boy roared within himself, clenching his fists and gazing into the distance with a determined expression. His desire for strength surged to a new level. "Xiao Hei, from now on we can only rely on ourselves. I will grow stronger, and you must become strong too." Turning to look at Xiao Hei sitting beside him, he was encouraging it but more so encouraging himself. He needed to train hard to become powerful; only then would he have the ability to uncover the truths he sought—his origins, this strange world, and whether the brilliant starry sky truly held other worlds.
Under the moonlight, the forest began to stir with life. Various sounds echoed from afar—some were from Demon Beasts, but more were from Chimeras. Some roared like Demon Beasts; others cried like children or screamed like women; some laughed maniacally like men. Occasionally, sounds of battle could be heard—some fights were only audible while others burst forth with flashes of light. Although he could not see the battles taking place, these lights shone through the gaps between the trees like lightning in the sky. Mo Wen and Xiao Hei sat perched on a branch like two indifferent spectators observing everything before them.
Gradually losing interest in the commotion, Mo Wen felt reassured as long as these battles remained at a safe distance. Moreover, he had set up a Symbol Array beneath him that provided concealment and warning functions; its silence indicated safety. Aside from himself and Xiao Hei, there were also birds resting in the tree that would serve as an additional warning system—if danger approached, they would surely be startled.
Gathering his thoughts, he looked up at the sky where the moon shone even brighter now while the forest grew livelier. Returning his gaze inwardly, he closed his eyes to Nurturing Spirit and began to comprehend his Law. For Mo Wen at this moment, strength was the most tangible reality; the surrounding noise did not disrupt his cultivation as he had long since grown accustomed to practicing amidst chaos.
