He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Things rarely go as planned. Xu Yi got lost. That's right, he didn't know why he couldn't find his way back to the original path in this place. He just kept walking and suddenly he walked out of this swamp.

This was a completely unfamiliar place. Xu Yi had no idea where he was. It was a main road, but he didn't know where it led. He was completely unfamiliar with this place.

Moreover, there was no one to guide him, which meant that Xu Yi had no idea where he was going.

Feeling somewhat lost, but since there was a road to walk on, there must be people living ahead. With that thought in mind, Xu Yi started walking along the main road. As he walked, he discovered a small village with inhabitants not far away.

The village wasn't big, and there seemed to be very few people. But thankfully, there were people around. It seemed like very few people came to this village, so Xu Yi's arrival immediately attracted a lot of attention.

This made him feel very strange, like he was an animal in a zoo, being watched by many people.

Xu Yi's clothes were not particularly fancy, but it was still easy to tell that he was from out of town. His face did not show any signs of sun exposure; it was all smooth and delicate skin. In this way, he looked more like a down-on-his-luck young master from a wealthy family.

After a large crowd gathered around, Xu Yi frowned slightly. Soon, several young men also came over, and one of them, who looked honest and simple, stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Yi.

Everyone else made way for him, which meant that this person's words carried some weight, Xu Yi thought to himself.

"Greetings, young master. May I ask what brings you to my Dongliu Village?" the honest-looking young man asked.

The others also looked at Xu Yi, because he was carrying an iron sword on his back. In their eyes, he was an uninvited guest and there was a certain risk involved.

Although there aren't many people in the village, they are very united.

Xu Yi said, "I have simply gotten lost, and I am not a villain. You all need not be so wary."

Xu Yi spoke in a kind tone, and he himself looked quite handsome, so what he said was very convincing.

Upon hearing this, the honest young man's expression softened slightly. The newcomer carrying a sword was indeed a bit intimidating. Outsiders rarely came to Dongliu Village. It wasn't that they were on guard, but rather that the sudden arrival of a young man could easily cause misunderstandings.

There are very few outsiders in their Dongliu Village anymore; after all, who would come to a remote little village?

"Young master, where are you headed? Perhaps I know the way," the honest young man asked. He didn't mind leading the way for Xu Yi, just to resolve this trouble as quickly as possible. He was a representative of the young people in the village, and some of the older people were also willing to listen to him.

"Where are you going?" This question stumped Xu Yi. He suddenly made a hand seal, and soon a ball of gray light appeared in his palm, startling the honest young man. However, he quickly recovered, as if he was used to such scenes.

However, the honest young man's tone became even more respectful.

"So you're a cultivator, young master!" said the honest-looking young man. He paused, then added, "You must be looking for a place where cultivators gather, right?"

These words struck a chord with Xu Yi. Indeed, he needed to collect the five elements spiritual items and needed to find a place with a large number of cultivators.

"Yes, that's right. Do you know where to find him?" Xu Yi asked confidently. Although this person looked honest, he was quite clever. Xu Yi liked this type of person.

"I know, I know, young master, just follow me." After saying that, the honest young man started walking ahead to lead the way. He didn't walk alongside Xu Yi, seemingly deliberately keeping his distance.

Xu Yi didn't care. As long as he could lead him to the gathering place of cultivators, the rest didn't really matter.

Although it was nighttime and the moon and stars were few, the honest young man seemed to have no fear at all while walking in the dark, as if it were something he was used to, which made Xu Yi feel even more strange.

"Aren't you afraid to walk around in the dark?" Xu Yi couldn't help but ask, which made him seem even more like an outsider.

"Young master, you must come from a very far place, and you don't know about our place."

"This is the Kingdom of Tianyang, and this is how day and night alternate..."

The honest-looking young man explained the local customs to Xu Yi, which broadened Xu Yi's horizons and was quite bizarre.

There is indeed a city here, very large, with approximately several million people.

The city has a large population, and similarly, there are many cultivators and families practicing cultivation.

The city is named Yacheng, because it was built next to a cliff, hence the name.

However, according to the honest young man, although Yacheng is very large, it is still very small compared to some big cities. In other words, this honest young man has seen larger cities.

In Xu Yi's view, this was already quite a lot. How high could the cultivators here reach in terms of cultivation level? Xu Yi didn't know.

However, it's definitely not something a Qi Refining stage cultivator like him could pull off. That's Xu Yi's thought, but he needs to find out more first.

"Do you know what the highest cultivation level is among the cultivators in Ya City?" Xu Yi decided to ask this honest young man first. It would seem a bit deliberate to inquire about such things once they arrived in the city. However, if the young man didn't know, then he would have no choice but to inquire in the city.

"Hehe, young master, you've come to the right person. I also do some work in the city on weekdays. There are two great families in this Ya City, the Li family and the Liu family."

"They have a Foundation Establishment Ancestor in their family!" The honest young man said, a hint of longing in his eyes, as if he also had aspirations for the path of immortality.

"Why don't you cultivate?" Xu Yi asked. Is cultivation possible for everyone? Or are there restrictions on cultivation here? He was also very curious about these things.

"Cultivation... I'd like to, but alas, young master, don't you know? Who would let an ordinary person like us see cultivation techniques?"

The honest young man had once worked for the Li family. He also dreamed of one day leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a cultivator. However, the Li family had many rules, and only those of different surnames who had made great contributions to the Li family were qualified to cultivate. Someone like him had no chance at all.

What opportunity could a laborer like him possibly have to make a significant contribution to the Li family? He simply couldn't believe that this rule was meant for people like them, to give them something to look forward to while they were working here.

After the honest young man saw through all this, he left.

The two walked for a long time, from dusk till dawn. Soon the sun rose, much to Xu Yi's amazement.

"Young master, this is Ya City. There are many cultivators here. You can find them on your own."

"Young master, I shall take my leave now."
