Mysterious Contact

After several days of drizzling rain, the dark clouds finally dispersed in the afternoon, revealing a rainbow in the sky, prompting many people to look up and take pictures.

Wang Xuan returned to his rented place, sat at his desk, and slowly tore open the envelope. He was finally going to find out what was going on.

Mysterious Contact, sealed away for thirty years!

Old Chen immediately told him a specific time period, which naturally made Wang Xuan think of Old Chen's master, who had mysteriously disappeared for thirty years.

"Recently, people in the New Arts Domain have also been eyeing the Mysterious Contact. During the last Battle of the Congling Mountains, Mo Hai, Great Grandmaster in the New Arts Domain, personally boarded the Super Battleship of the Old Earth."

To get Wang Xuan to take it seriously, Old Chen directly brought up the opposing camp.

This is true. At that time, Mo Hai met with the deputy of the Relevant Department and discussed these matters face to face, hoping to obtain specific information about the Mysterious Contact of the past.

However, he was killed by Old Chen after disembarking from the warship.

In the letter, Old Chen told Wang Xuan that his teacher and the mentor of the deputy in charge of the Relevant Department were both involved in this matter and had disappeared for thirty years!

"The old man's last look was one of despair. His figure gradually disappeared not far in front of me. He looked at me one last time, opened his mouth weakly, but no sound came out..."

Between the lines, one can fully feel Old Chen's sighs and endless sadness.

Back then, not only those two incredibly powerful old men, but also a group of very strong masters of Old Arts from that era were trapped in it, and they disappeared Ying, without even making a ripple.

"At that time, an anomaly occurred in a section of the Old Earth. For several days in a row, it was shrouded in a hazy light, a light that devoured people!" Old Chen did not hide his turbulent emotions.

That day, they had no idea how dangerous it was there. They cautiously approached the light, but at the last moment, his master had a sudden idea and threw him out. As a result, the old man and everyone else were swallowed up.

This became a knot in Old Chen's heart, and he still couldn't untie it after thirty years.

The light enveloped the mountains and clung to the vegetation, appearing sacred and peaceful. But no one could have predicted that it would disappear once people got close.

Not only that, the Zhong family also participated back then, and were the main force in the Mysterious Contact incident. As a result, the two Super Battleship were swallowed up one after another without even causing a ripple.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xuan was shocked; this was quite unbelievable!

"Old man Zhong Yong was terrified back then and ran back to New Star overnight. He didn't dare to come back to his Old Earth for many years."

The hazy light lasted for several days before disappearing, leaving behind a set of mysterious symbols. For thirty years, numerous renowned scholars and experts were consulted, but none could decipher them.

"The symbols are similar to the writing on the silver animal skin book unearthed from the underground palace of Qingcheng Mountain."

Wang Xuan was deeply moved after reading this. The animal skin book that a Daoist Daoist Master had studied until his death must have been of great significance!

"After the hazy light dissipated, besides the Mysterious Symbol, a black ancient sword was stuck in the ground."

Old Chen did not hide anything in the letter; the sword in question was the Black Longsword he was currently wielding.

Wang Xuan was astonished; Old Chen's weapon actually had such a background!

At that time, there was a skeleton next to the Black Sword, which had long since decayed.

"The Black Sword and the withered bones may not have been left by the hazy light. I was there myself, and after looking closely, I think they were there a long time ago. Only the Mysterious Symbol seem to have been left recently."

This is the Mysterious Contact incident from thirty years ago, which swept away a group of masters of Old Arts. Even Super Battleship couldn't withstand it, and two of them were swallowed up.

"News from deep space after thirty years!"

"Six months ago, the hazy light reappeared, this time on New Star, and left behind a set of Mysterious Symbol that are currently known only to a very few people!"

In the later part of the letter, Old Chen mentioned the progress of this matter, still feeling resentful.

After the faint light of the New Star disappeared, an ancient sword was found in its place. However, after careful examination, some people believe that the sword has been stuck there for a very long time.

Not only that, less than two months later, that light reappeared in another part of the New Star, leaving behind Mysterious Symbol and an ancient spear!

"I think it's becoming more and more active, and sooner or later it will truly stabilize and appear in one place. You should keep an eye on it after you go to New Star!"

Wang Xuan put down the letter and pondered it for a while, naturally leading to a lot of associations.

The Black Sword is very likely the weapon of the Transcendent Immortals, after all, its owner was the enemy and mortal foe of the Sword Immortal, and it reappeared after the Mysterious Contact incident.

The ancient sword, the ancient knife, and the ancient spear—three weapons. Did they fall from the light, or were they already planted in place, triggering or undergoing some kind of ritual?

Is this event related to ancient people? Does it have any connection with the Transcendent Immortals?

"If I had the strength of the Crimson Demon Immortal, I would slap him across the face, and no matter what kind of light it was, I would just pierce through it first!"

Wang Xuan shook his head. He had thought of too many possibilities, each one a horror movie, a thrilling drama, and he really didn't want to delve any deeper.

The key question is, what good are his ideas? He doesn't have the power to change anything right now.

Clearly, Chen Life Soil was hoping that he could enter the Inner Scenery Realm on his own, unlike ordinary people.

"Old Chen, I'm sorry, I really can't help with this. Thank you for telling me all this, I promise I'll avoid that light from now on!"

The weather was beautiful in the afternoon; the rain had stopped, a rainbow hung high in the sky, and the air was fresh. Wang Xuan promptly went out shopping. He planned to visit his parents and friends tomorrow and give them some gifts. In ten days, he would be leaving his Old Earth, and he felt a little reluctant to go.

Before leaving, he bandaged his left hand, after all, he had been "in a car accident." Luckily, it wasn't his real body that was hit; otherwise, the car would probably have collapsed, frightening passersby.

Wang Xuan is a man of action; he completed his shopping and round trip in just over an hour, demonstrating astonishing efficiency.

During this process, he was the subject of much discussion.

"See that? That young man is so efficient at shopping. He bought a whole bunch of things in just over ten minutes and is now heading to the checkout." This was a man's comment, and he cautiously added to his female companion, "Look, we've been looking around for ages and still haven't made up our minds. Shouldn't we hurry up?"

The woman casually remarked, "So, he's single, while you have me with you."

"That's how it is!" the man nodded.

Wang Xuan almost ran over to confront them. Not only were they showing off their affection, but they even inexplicably punched him. However, the moment he turned around, the woman finally showed some kindness, exclaiming, "That guy's pretty handsome!"

Well, Ancestor Wang thought to himself that he was magnanimous and didn't want to argue with them anymore. He strolled away, listening to the praise. However, he also reflected that he seemed to have caught some kind of fetish from the Female Sword Immortal.

After dinner, Wang Xuan began a walk around Cloud Lake, the most famous scenic spot in Ancheng, in the sunset. He was going home the next morning and heading straight to deep space in ten days.

He feared he wouldn't be able to appreciate Ancheng's beauty for the next few years, so he calmly watched the sunset over the lake.

Now he is no longer Grandmaster Wang. He has shed his brilliance and returned to the life of an ordinary person. Even if he stands in the midst of a crowd, no one will bother him.

He enjoyed the tranquility, bathed in the sunset, watching waterbirds circling low in the sky, and occasionally fish leaping up, shattering the shimmering golden surface of the lake. His heart was at peace like never before.

Representatives of conglomerates and large organizations have all left, the Super Battleship has sunk into the Depths of Starry Sky, and people from the New Arts Domain have also left. The bustling city of Ancheng is now quiet and peaceful.

All the hustle and bustle and splendor vanished, leaving only tranquility and peace in his ears. Wang Xuan felt a profound sense of enlightenment in this moment and place.

He vaguely grasped a glimpse of the otherworldly mindset of Old Zhang when he retired to Mount Hemming. Having experienced the brilliance of the mortal world, all he ultimately sought was a simple life with the green mountains.

The Serpent Crane Eight Scattered Hands were elevated in his heart. In addition, he gained a new understanding of the first three engravings in the Golden Book that he had mastered. He also had a faint aura of otherworldly grace on his body.

Finally, he returned to reality, shaking his head and saying, "There's no such thing as entering or leaving the world. It's just different experiences under different states of mind. This world is colorful and enchanting, and I will not leave."

As he strolled around the lake, he could feel that his Master Consciousness had been completed, and the Eight Scattered Hands and the three engraved diagrams had also been sublimated, and his strength had increased once again!

"Little Zhong, we're going back tomorrow, and I really don't want to travel with you. Did you choose flight A or flight C? Actually, I think flight A or C suits you best, so let's try to avoid them."

"Wu Yin, you've been quite aggressive lately! But I won't stoop to your level, let's just enjoy the scenery. By the way, wasn't this the place where someone kicked you in the butt and made you fall into the lake last time?"

Upon hearing this conversation and seeing the figure ahead, Wang Xuan turned around and tried to leave.

However, someone noticed him. Wu Yin strode over and stared at him for a while, looking at him suspiciously. Then she revealed a murderous look and snorted coldly.

Wang Xuan discovered that Da Wu really held a grudge; he had kicked her once, and even now he still looked like he wanted to eat her alive.

He sighed with emotion. Meeting the same person at different times and in different places could very well lead to different outcomes. Da Wu was so good to Little Wang, always smiling whenever they met, but when facing his true form, he would always gasp for breath, his chest heaving violently, wanting to punch him!

In the end, Wu Yin didn't cause any trouble and gradually calmed down. She stared at his left hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and then looked at his right hand, which was tucked into his loose pocket.

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Was this woman's intuition really that sharp? Could it be that she had some suspicions?

When he transformed into Grandmaster Wang, his appearance and hairstyle were completely different from now, and steel plates were placed on his shoulders to make them wider and thicker, and his figure was different. Could she still see through the disguise?

When he reverted to his true form, he specifically asked Old Chen, Qing Mu, and Guan Lin to examine him. Even they couldn't see any similarity between the two identities, which made Da Wu suspicious.

Zhong Qing walked over, youthful and beautiful. She asked him if he was Wu Yin's friend and smiled as she extended her hand to shake his.

Wang Xuan suspected something had gone wrong. Had even Little Zhong noticed something? The other party wanted to check if his right hand was still injured. After all, everyone knew his hands were a bloody mess, his fingernails blown off in the rainy night battle.

He remained calm and composed, extending his right hand to shake hands with Zhong Qing's soft, boneless hand.

Wang Xuan saw a relieved expression on Wu Yin's face, but he couldn't see anything on Zhong Qing's face.

"Dude, it's time to let go, this is my sister!" Zhong Cheng walked over.

This put Wang Xuan at ease; if everyone saw him and became suspicious, that would be a huge problem!

He guessed that his profile as he turned around in the sunset must have resembled Grandmaster Wang, and the bandage wrapped around his left hand gave the two women the most direct first impression, leading to their suspicion.

Now that's good, his right hand has long, smooth fingers and perfectly intact nails, so the two women have to process any associations they might have on their own.

As the sunset glowed, Wang Xuan waved goodbye and walked away, leaving them with only his back view.

The next day he returned home and told his parents about going to New Star. The two were very happy and showed no signs of sadness. They then began planning to travel to various parts of Old Earth.

Wang Xuan really wanted to ask them, "Am I your biological son?" They showed no reluctance whatsoever and were happily going on their trip.

He went to see two childhood friends and several other friends, giving them a bunch of gifts. From then on, he spent every day eating, drinking, and partying.

During this time, Qing Mu secretly contacted him, telling him that he had taken care of the trivial matters and mailed him a package containing a certificate for an antique-style sword and a bunch of other things.

Ten days later, Wang Xuan did not enter Ancheng, but went directly to the deep space spaceship base outside the city, preparing to leave his Old Earth!
