Shennongjia, located in central China, is a primeval forest shrouded in mystery and has been the subject of countless fantastical tales.

This place has been known since ancient times as the site of the legendary "wild man".

Countless expeditions have come here, and countless scientists have studied it, but its secrets have never been revealed.

Deep in Shennongjia, shrouded in mist year-round, compasses malfunction.

If the GPS signal disappears, even the most advanced drones will lose control when they fly in.

Locals say that it is the ancestor Shennong protecting this land and preventing outsiders from disturbing it.

Luo Tian hovered above Shennongjia, his divine sense spreading out and enveloping the entire primeval forest.

The mountains, rivers, plants, birds, and beasts within a radius of hundreds of miles were all imprinted in his mind.

His divine sense, deep within Shennongjia, detected a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.

That was actually the aura of an array, ancient and weathered, having existed for countless years.

"Finally found the place."

Luo Tian carried Nian Nian and flew in that direction.

Passing through clouds and over mountains, they arrived at the deepest part of Shennongjia.

Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, vines spread like snakes, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, and occasionally the calls of birds and animals could be heard from afar.

Luo Tian landed and carefully explored his surroundings with his divine sense.

The formation here was set up by ancient cultivators.

Although the technique was crude, it was indeed very practical.

Based on mountains and rivers, and organized by plants and trees, it operates with the help of the power of heaven and earth.

The person who set up the formation was not highly skilled, probably only at the Nascent Soul stage, but their mastery of formations was quite good.

He slightly raised his hand, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, striking a large tree.

The tree remained motionless, but a rune lit up on its trunk, the light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

"It really is a formation, and a chain formation at that, with one layer inside another."

Ordinary people would get trapped in a maze here and end up going around in circles.

Those cultivators whose cultivation level is insufficient will be killed by the killing formation.

Little Niannian rode on Little Golden's back, looking around curiously:

"Daddy, why can't Niannian see anything?"

"Because your cultivation level is not high enough. Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, these formations will be completely transparent to you."

"Then Nian Nian needs to start cultivating quickly!"

Luo Tian led Nian Nian forward step by step.

Instead of forcibly breaking the formation, he followed the formation's structure and found its core.

This is a stone tablet half-buried in the ground, with ancient characters engraved on it.

It is neither modern Chinese characters nor bronze inscriptions from the pre-Qin period, but rather an even more ancient rune.

"This is... the script of ancient cultivators."

Luo Tian carefully examined the runes on the stone tablet.

He was once a Celestial Emperor and had a deep understanding of ancient scripts.

The stone tablet records the life story of a monk named "Shennong".

Shennong, an ancient and powerful figure, possessed extraordinary cultivation. He tasted hundreds of herbs, refined elixirs, and saved countless lives.

Later, the world underwent a great change, and spiritual energy was depleted.

Shennong led his people away from Earth and went to the world of cultivation.

"Shennong... was indeed a cultivator."

Luo Tian was deeply shocked. It turned out that many of the figures in ancient Earth's mythology and those legendary gods actually existed.

They are not gods, but monks.

Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Yandi...

These names are also legendary in the celestial realm.

They are said to be powerful beings from ancient times, but their whereabouts are now unknown.

The stone tablet also records a small world left behind by Shennong on Earth.

That was an independent space he created with great magical power, where his clansmen and various spirit beasts and plants lived.

The entrance to the small world is deep within Shennongjia, protected by numerous arrays.

"This little world is worth checking out."

Luo Tian continued searching for the array's core, digging out stone tablets one by one from the soil.

The runes on the stone tablet contain more information.

This small world is the legacy that Shennong left to future generations.

It contains spiritual herbs, mythical beasts, and cultivation techniques, but only those with the right destiny can enter.

"A destined person?"

Luo Tian's lips curled up into a smile.

"That applies to the weak. There's no place I can't enter if I want to."

Instead of following the formation's structure, he directly used force to break it.

The Xuanyuan Sword was drawn from its sheath, its golden light dazzling. With a flash of light, it slashed out.

The sword energy struck the void, where a light screen appeared, with runes flowing on it, blocking the sword energy.

"A decent defensive formation, but it can't stop this emperor."

Luo Tian struck again with his sword, this time using seventy percent of his power.

The light screen trembled violently, and the runes shattered.

The third sword strike shattered the light barrier, revealing a pitch-black hole.

The entrance to the cave is small, only about the height of a person, and the inside is bottomless.

"Dad, what's that?"

Xiao Niannian asked curiously.

"The entrance to the small world. Let's go in and take a look."

Luo Tian picked up Xiao Niannian and stepped into the cave.

Little Jin shrank in size and coiled around Nian Nian's shoulder, with Little Qilin and Little White following behind.

Inside the cave entrance is a long passage, with murals carved on the walls on both sides.

There were cultivators flying on swords, immortals refining pills and making medicine, divine beasts running in the mountains, and heavenly tribulations roaring in the sky.

"These murals record the history of Shennong and his people."

Luo Tian walked and looked around.

"They lived here for many years, but later the spiritual energy dried up, and they had to leave."

At the end of the passage, a portal of light appeared.

Luo Tian stepped into the portal of light, and a bright and clear view suddenly appeared before him.

This is indeed a separate little world.

The sky was a pale gold color; though there was no sun, it was as bright as day.

Beneath your feet lies a vast expanse of land, complete with mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands, lakes, and waterfalls.

The air was filled with spiritual energy, dozens of times denser than the outside world.

In the distance, there are villages, towns, palaces, and temples.

"So beautiful..."

Xiao Niannian's eyes widened.
