Chapter of 71

The stars whisper of forgotten power, but for Wang Xuan, they scream of an impossible dream. In a future where humanity has clawed its way to the cosmos, the remnants of ancient cultivation — the ‘Old Arts’ — are dismissed as quaint superstitions, relics of a war-torn past. Corporations chase fleeting profits, pouring resources into ‘New Arts’ while Wang Xuan, a student of the neglected Old Arts Research Department, clings to tales of immortality. He’s seen the crumbling manuals, read the faded accounts of individuals who defied death, who ascended beyond the mortal coil. But in an age of technological marvels, who would believe such fantastical claims? The university where Wang Xuan studies is dissolving, its funding cut, its purpose deemed obsolete. The path he’s chosen, the one that whispers of true power, is vanishing with it. Yet, the question burns in his soul: are immortals real? Can humanity truly break the chains of mortality and conquer the ultimate enemy – death itself? While his peers embrace the glittering, shallow promises of the New World, Wang Xuan feels an ancient pull, an insistent hum from the scattered pages of the Old Arts. He senses a truth hidden beneath layers of cynicism and scientific dogma, a truth that could redefine humanity’s place in the universe. As the doors close on his department, Wang Xuan stands at a precipice. The universe beckons, vast and indifferent, yet within him, a fire ignites. He will not let the Old Arts die. He will not let the dream of immortality fade into myth. He will walk the forgotten path, even if it means journeying into the terrifying unknown, even if it means challenging the very fabric of existence. But what if the secrets he seeks are more dangerous than he can imagine? What if the path to Elysium across deep space demands a price he’s not prepared to pay? The answers lie beyond the stars, in the echoes of a lost age. Begin your journey now and discover if Wang Xuan can truly reach the Elysium Across Deep Space.
