Myth Is Not in the Real World

Wang Xuan's heart sank; he had actually been targeted!

Was it because he killed two "immortals" and was sensed by the creature on the other side, or was it because his "immortal-attracting physique" came into play again?

The sky is pitch black, and the ground is bright—this is the true appearance of the moon during the day, as it lacks an atmosphere. However, the figures in the Moon Crater shine even brighter, continuing to glow even in the daytime.

Finally, a creature moved, slowly approaching the protective layer.

Is it a demon? Wang Xuan was highly focused, staring Death Zone at him.

"Qin Cheng, retreat quickly and head to White Horse Temple!" Wang Xuan whispered. Everything was still unknown; he didn't know what kind of creature it was or how strong it was.

"Old Wang, what did you discover?" Qin Cheng was startled.

"Don't ask, let's go!" Wang Xuan secretly gripped his short sword, staring at the ground outside the protective layer. It was pitted and uneven, with many traces of meteorite impacts.

"Be careful!" Qin Cheng glanced at him but didn't say anything more. He turned and left. He and Wang Xuan had known each other for many years and had a good understanding.

Wang Xuan saw clearly that the ball of holy light contained a person, not a demon.

Only the outline of the person can be seen; he is a man, quite tall, nearly 1.9 meters.

He radiated white light, obscuring his face; he appeared sacred and serene, with pure white petals falling around him—a truly extraordinary sight.

Wang Xuan frowned. He was just a man, surrounded by snow-white petals. Was he trying to say something, or was he just putting on an act?

He continued to stare indifferently. It's not like he hasn't killed before; he killed two yesterday. Come on over if you dare!

The Mysterious Man slowed his pace and approached the protective shield. No one else noticed and could see the white-glowing man approaching.

Suddenly, when the man was still more than ten meters away from the protective layer, two beams of light flew in, accompanied by thunderous, deafening roars, and exploded there.

The man retreated decisively. Even so, although he was not hit, his body was slightly weakened at the moment the lightning exploded.

Wang Xuan stared in disbelief, then abruptly turned to look at the White Horse Temple and the Thousand-Year Ancient Taoist Temple. He swallowed hard; it was simply too magnificent and astonishing.

Thunder in broad daylight, stretching across the sky, obliterating demons? That's terrifyingly absurd!

However, when he looked around at the people, he found that everyone was calmer than him and had the leisure to point and discuss the strange things in the Moon Crater.

Wang Xuan gasped. The two thunderclaps were so powerful, yet no one heard them or noticed them at all, as if they were in two different worlds.

Are the ancestral temples of Daoist school and Buddhist so terrifying and supreme that they have been kept in the dark by ordinary people?!

Wang Xuan was momentarily stunned. He didn't know much about the two sects' backgrounds, but he was still very shocked by the way thunder was descended in broad daylight.

"Something's not right!" He quickly came to his senses and his expression changed.

He knew very well that the bodhisattvas of White Horse Temple, as well as the beings that might be the source of Buddhism, were still trapped in the ancient pit and had not yet climbed out!

The situation at the Daoist Ancestral Court should be roughly the same.

"The two ancestral courts can't interfere with the present world at all; their attacks are only aimed at the spiritual level?" Wang Xuan pondered.

Once he withdraws his spiritual domain, he will be like everyone else, unable to see the lightning that stretches across the moon's sky, and will become just another bystander.

"Even the released Ghost Monk seem to only be able to appear in dreams, and have never been able to change anything in reality."

"So even if I pull several Bodhisattva-level beings out of the pit, or even bring up the beings from the source of Buddhism, they can only temporarily manifest in the spiritual realm, and cannot change the present world?"

"Could all those ancient myths and legends have originated in the spiritual realm?"

In an instant, Wang Xuan thought of many questions. He suddenly realized that perhaps he could rethink the Transcendent Immortals and bodhisattvas.

Although these beings possess great supernatural powers, they manifest their divine abilities within the Inner Scenery Realm or mysterious spiritual levels, rather than in the Real World!

"Therefore, the influence of this group on the mortal world is far less than before they became immortals or Buddhas. Once Ascension to Immortality, they will have almost left the mortal world."

He pondered that this meant the human world was still just the human world, and those who achieved spiritual immortality were nothing more than that.

Wang Xuan suddenly calmed down a lot, and even when he thought of the peerless Red-clothed Demon Immortal, he didn't feel so uneasy anymore.

Then, he looked at the blurry man emitting white light outside the protective layer and thought that he was nothing special and could not possibly have a large-scale impact on humans in the mortal world.

Wang Xuan estimated that the creatures in the Moon Crater could at most possess people, and they seemed to be paying a corresponding price. It was impossible for them to burn mountains and boil seas like in myths and legends.

Moreover, they were suppressed by the Daoist Ancestral Court and Buddhist Ancient Temple.

Especially when facing someone like Wang Xuan, they are not afraid of being possessed. Wielding the mysterious short sword, they can kill them!

Wang Xuan pondered whether he should rush into the Moon Crater and kill all those creatures that were staring intently at him.

At this time, Ancestor Wang became extremely arrogant and thought that mythology was nothing special.

At this moment, he temporarily shut out the world behind the Great Curtain deep within the Inner Scenery Realm.

After a moment of daydreaming, his thoughts returned to reality, and he began to calm down. There was absolutely no way he could show his face now; he didn't want to be targeted, as that would contradict his original intentions.

"Someone has gone out and is approaching the Moon Crater."

Drawn by the astonishing bounty, an expedition team of six sped quickly to the entrance of the Moon Crater.

Then people saw them lying straight down next to the dark entrance, and some even fell in and never came out again.

"They've definitely been infected, they're probably all dead!" some people whispered, feeling a sense of suffocation. This wasn't a movie; people were actually dying.

Wang Xuan stared intently and confirmed that it was caused by possession!

For the next two hours, no one stepped forward. The reward was high, but one had to be alive to claim it; otherwise, even moving a mountain of gold would be meaningless.

During this period, creatures outside the protective layer approached several times, wandering around the vicinity, but never daring to cross the line.

Wang Xuan noticed that the two ancestral temples emitted light several times, unleashing terrifying lightning. On one occasion, a pendant on Ling Qiming's chest shimmered, and the bracelet on his wrist also shone brightly, flowing with rosy light.

He sighed softly. The tycoon was indeed extraordinary, carrying an unusual and mysterious ancient artifact. He guessed that even Ling Qiming himself did not know its true function and wore it as an ancient jade accessory.

Wang Xuan contacted Qin Cheng and summoned him back, as he loved watching the spectacle. Over a hundred years ago, a master strategist must have orchestrated the relocation of the ancestral temples of the two religions, which would completely quell the situation.

Soon after, the Qin Family arrived. It was a middle-aged man named Qin Hong, Qin Yunfeng's father. He walked to the moon with a sorrowful expression.

"Whoever can bring Yunfeng out, I will reward them handsomely!" Qin Hong said to the crowd. He knew that those who came here to watch were security experts and special advisors from various organizations.

As for ordinary people, they have no idea about the Moon Crater, and they won't be allowed to come over without a work permit.

Qin Cheng whispered a reminder: "Old Wang, no matter how high the reward is, don't be tempted. There are some kinds of money we shouldn't touch!"

Wang Xuan nodded. He truly had no intention of going. It was just a sword manual and an ancient secret manual for cultivating the spirit, not Golden Bamboo Slip or the supreme martial arts of Buddhist and Taoist families. Such scriptures weren't worth the risk for Ancestor Wang; it would be a greater loss if he attracted the attention of the wealthy conglomerates.

As for the Golden Mushroom, he was about to go to the Secret Realm, so he didn't care for it anymore.

In fact, no one responded at the scene. What a joke! A bunch of people died yesterday, and just now six more professionals fell in the Moon Crater. Who would dare to go?

The reason people usually go to explore is because the Moon Crater is quiet most of the time and doesn't attract any evil spirits.

In essence, more than a hundred years have passed and the deepest problem of the Moon Crater has never been solved. Now, no one would not cherish their own life!

Ling Qiming stayed with Qin Hong, offering words of comfort, before leaving. He had been standing there for almost three hours and couldn't stay any longer.

"Are all these brutes so cowardly? Not a single one of them dared to go in! Do people like this deserve to be called security experts and special consultants?!" Accompanied by others, Qin Hong left the scene, letting out an angry low growl from afar, rebuking them.

Ordinary people cannot hear it because of the great distance, but after Wang Xuan's spiritual domain was formed, his perception was terrifyingly powerful, and he heard it clearly.

"What's the point of those big organizations that provide security services keeping this bunch of people? People in both the Old Arts and New Arts Domain are a bunch of useless trash. Even a dog would be better; at least it would obey. Go and put pressure on those brutes to go Moon Crater. Don't these people know their own purpose?!"

Qin Hong roared in a low voice, and those accompanying him were covered in sweat and dared not utter a sound.

This is not just because he lost his child and was filled with anger; in this situation, what he said was actually his true feelings.

In the distance, Wang Xuan's expression was cold, but he wasn't angry; he wasn't surprised. There were definitely more than just one or two high-ranking officials like Qin Hong from large conglomerates, and that's exactly how they viewed cultivators.

Despite the mobilization efforts of some large organizations, no one from the special advisory group stepped forward. They hadn't signed any contracts of servitude, and given the right to choose, who would risk their life?

Soon after, a spaceship landed on the moon, followed by explosive news: the Qin Family had summoned four Bodhisattvas!

Without a doubt, the Qin Family, a super conglomerate, is backing a certain Life Science Research Institute. This time, they have dispatched four gene powerhouses, who are currently the most powerful Moonlight Bodhisattva Superhuman!

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he saw the so-called Moonlight Bodhisattva in the distance. His expression immediately turned serious. This was actually... a creature at the Great Grandmaster level!

The four Bodhisattvas went straight out of the protective layer and headed towards the Moon Crater.

At the same time, a warship appeared out of nowhere!

Qin Hong's face was grim. He had prepared for the worst. He had already informed all parties that he would be using "N-substance" this time, which was collected from a certain blessed land in the past!

If the four bodhisattvas fail, he plans to pour all that substance into the pit, completely destroying the Moon Crater.

This wasn't just his decision; for years, conglomerates and various organizations had been working on it, and this was their trump card that they had been brewing for years.
