Cultivation: Start with a Mobile Phone, Cultivation Depends on Buying It

Across the boundless myriad realms, where worlds stand as forests and all beings are hunters, this is a brutal cultivation universe ruled by the dark forest principle—resources are depleted, suspicion is eternal, there is no absolute good or evil, and every person acts only for themselves. The Heavenly Dao establishes its laws, sects spread their doctrines, and gods pass down their teachings, while countless beliefs manifest as invisible shackles, imprisoning all living beings and harvesting their essences to maintain a fragile surface order. Liu Xubai, a transmigrator, unexpectedly discovers that the mobile phone he carries conceals a mysterious trading space called the "Void Market." Here, everything is for sale—elixirs, cultivation techniques, spiritual treasures, intelligence—all available, provided one has enough spirit stones and the corresponding cultivation base to match. Armed with this supreme treasure from the dawn of time, he could easily dominate a region, yet he chooses a more restrained path: hiding his edge from the world and guarding his heart with loyalty and love. In his early days among mortals, he believed in kinship, friendship, and romance, carrying the warmth and kindness of an ordinary man. But through sect conspiracies, betrayals by fellow disciples, and the crushing weight of competing interests, he comes to see the cold truth of this world. Human hearts are unfathomable, and the world is desolate—yet even in darkness, faint lights remain: Su Qinghuan, who stays by his side through all lifetimes without wavering, and Chen Yan, who stands with him through life-and-death battles, bound by unwavering brotherhood. From the crumbling courtyard of Qingshi Town to the Nine Heavens Cloud Arena of the Five Sects Tournament, from the blood-soaked depths of mining warfields to the mysterious horrors of the Ten Forbidden Lands—Liu Xubai wields the Void Market as his hidden trump card and patience as his creed. He lurks in the cracks between worlds, breaks through the cages of faith, traverses countless realms, and sees through the cosmic chessboard. He seeks neither godhood, nor dominion over the Heavenly Dao, nor supremacy over all worlds—only to protect those beside him, forging a unique mortal heart's path of his own.
