A Promise in the Mortal World

As soon as Wang Xuan uttered those words, silence fell over both behind the Great Curtain and on the Azure Sea; suddenly, there was no sound.

Even the light drizzle stopped, as if it dared not fall any further.

The Demon Immortals all looked down at the ground, pretending not to have heard anything, for fear of incurring the wrath of others.

Are there really people in the world who are so fearless of death? Does he even know what he's saying? Judging solely by her strength, the Woman in Red is a figure from mythology among the Transcendent Immortals.

They dare to make her perform the Demon Immortal Dance? What audacity!

The Demon Immortals were impressed; this was the first time they had ever seen a mortal dare to covet Red-clothed Demon Immortal!

"I now believe you will not cooperate with her." The Ferryman nodded; this was the first time he had encountered such a mortal.

He could only marvel at the sheer audacity of the young people of this era, who dared to utter such words before a peerless Female Demon Immortal.

The White Tiger Demon Immortal was roaring there, seemingly angry on behalf of her master, wanting to make Wang Xuan suffer.

However, the Red-clothed Demon Immortal was not angry, and always wore a faint smile. If she cared, she would not have brought it up herself.

She gathered her wet hair, her eyes sparkling, her red dress fluttering, exuding charm, and said, "Soon, I will travel to the mortal world in an unconventional way, hoping to meet you in this world."

Wang Xuan: "??!"

He felt like he was about to explode!

Wasn't it supposed to be three years before he could come out? He originally thought he still had time to prepare and improve himself.

She's about to be born soon! How can anyone live like this?!

Wang Xuan's expression was uncertain. This was too unexpected and beyond his expectations. If they met so soon, he was destined to suffer a very miserable fate.

He remained silent, pondering various possibilities.

"Since you like the Demon Immortal Dance so much, I'll give you a surprise when we actually meet." The Red-clothed Demon Immortal smiled sweetly before turning to leave.

Wang Xuan was a little stunned, staring at her back. What should he do?

"It's been so long since I've been to the mortal realm. I'm really looking forward to it." Her red dress fluttered, her beauty unparalleled, and she gradually disappeared, her final glance back filled with captivating charm.

But Wang Xuan really had no heart to appreciate it; he felt he was facing a survival crisis!

"Do you really think the Old Testament is just for show?!" the Ferryman said coldly. The other party had declared to his face that he was going to the mortal world, which was a contempt for the Old Testament and a blatant provocation.

"Senior, why don't you hurry up and chase after them to subdue the demons!" Wang Xuan looked at him, pinning all his hopes on this Oath Keeper.

"I...can't break the contract," the Ferryman said.

Wang Xuan felt he was a bit uneasy and didn't dare to go in, right?

"It's alright. Even though she's here and you are separated by a large curtain, she has no idea where you are on this planet. She's unpredictable."

The Ferryman comforted her, saying that the Female Demon Immortal might not be able to find him in the mortal world!

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan was taken aback.

In an instant, he calmed down considerably. He was now far from his Old Earth, no longer on New Star, and separated from his hometown by countless light-years!

He refused to believe it. How could the Red-clothed Demon Immortal find him, even though they were separated by many galaxies and he was at the edge of deep space? Impossible!

Therefore, he calmly said, "I'll be waiting for you in the human world. Don't be late!"

He didn't mention waiting in the Old Earth, fearing that being too deliberate would alert the other party to something amiss.

The Female Demon Immortal has gone far away, without a reply.

Wang Xuan sighed. Being targeted by such an invincible Demon Immortals immortal made him uneasy. He wondered if he might actually encounter him again after crossing many star systems.

"It's almost time. I'll take you away," the Ferryman said.

Wang Xuan was unwilling. He hadn't even undergone a transformation yet, and it was already over? What a stupid secret path!

"If you had chosen the top path of true form, such as transforming into Golden-winged Great Peng, Thousand-armed True God, or Human-Demon, your strength would naturally have increased significantly, but you refused."

"That's Demon Transformation!" Wang Xuan emphasized.

"Entering the Land of the Dead and experiencing Supernatural Radiation can lead to either Demon Transformation or deification. This time, the main reason for the deification was that you ate the Demon Fruit first."

According to him, deification allows one to preserve their original form, and both humans and demons can choose this path.

Of course, there will still be some changes, such as the appearance of vertical eyes, pointed ears, and a third vertical eye growing between the eyebrows.

Some creatures, after being deified, undergo mutations in certain organs, such as having an enlarged and more powerful heart that turns silver.

Some people, after gradually becoming deified, develop golden patterns on their bones, which become thicker and stronger, and the person grows to be several meters tall.

Although it didn't deviate too far after being deified, it still changed somewhat compared to its original form.

Is this kind of deification acceptable? Wang Xuan pondered.

In an instant, he thought of the five pages of Golden Book, which was left behind by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Daoism. The illustrations on the Golden Book were all human figures!

Furthermore, the diagrams in the book depicting organ resonance do not show any abnormalities in those organs; they are consistent with those of normal humans.

He immediately realized that there was no need to choose deification at this stage, and the five pages of Golden Book seemed to have provided the answer!

Wang Xuan asked, "Is the Supernatural Radiation from the Lost Land only capable of being Demon Transformation or deified?"

"I knew you'd ask that question." The Ferryman pointed to the sea and said, "There's also a more radical approach: jump into the water and imagine yourself transforming into some kind of creature. If you don't die, you'll eventually undergo a violent metamorphosis into that creature. If you're lucky, you might even have various organs undergo divine transformation."

Wang Xuan was lost in thought; this is a fusion of Demon Transformation and deification.

He shook his head and said, "I just want to be human. I don't need to jump in and reinvent myself as a human."

The Ferryman said, "Therefore, I only rowed you across the sea. I saw long ago that you had this obsession, and that you were suited to take the most peaceful secret path of the dead."

"What do you mean?"

"With the protection of the Ascension Divine Bamboo Boat, you can gently receive the Supernatural Radiation from the Lost Land, enhancing your physical vitality. After you leave this place, cultivate for a period of time, and your strength will naturally and gradually increase."

Upon hearing this explanation, Wang Xuan was not satisfied. He was determined to break through quickly, and if it required waiting for a while, he would choose other methods.

The Ferryman said, "Everything must be balanced. Deification and Demon Transformation are due to the intense radiation from the dead land, which also provides mysterious energy. If you choose the peaceful path, your physical body will be activated, but you will need to replenish the required energy from the outside world slowly, so you cannot advance immediately."

He continued, "Actually, if you consume more Blood Grape and refuse to Demon Transformation after arriving here, the remaining normal medicinal properties after expelling the demonic medicinal power from your body may be enough to replenish the energy you need when taking the peaceful path, and you can also break through quickly."

Wang Xuan stared blankly for a moment, then said, "The conclusion is that even Demon Fruit can have their harmful components removed and be purified here. If there are enough of them, I can break through smoothly?"

"That's right." The Ferryman nodded.

Wang Xuan regretted that when he escaped the Silkworm Snake's cave, he had the chance to pick the remaining bunches of Blood Grape, but he ignored them completely.

Because at that time he already knew it was Demon Fruit.

"Quick, get me to shore!" Wang Xuan shouted.

"What's the rush?" the Ferryman, surprised.

"I'll be back in a bit, and I'll break through here!" Wang Xuan decided, and immediately went to pick the Demon Fruit.

Because he had carefully calculated that when the adult Silkworm Snake went out to hunt, he had enough time to pick the Blood Grape, and his attempt to escape to a distant place was destined to fail.

However, if you want to escape from its extraordinary lair to this lost land, the distance is very short and there is no problem at all!

Furthermore, eight Supernatural Being have built nests around this lost land, and it is conceivable that they all possess miraculous medicines.

In an instant, Wang Xuan's eyes shone brightly. He wanted to make full use of the secret path of the lost land to improve himself. He felt that it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with Old Chen!

The Ferryman interrupted his reverie, saying, "You think coming here is easy? Unless you have Inner Scenery Treasure, or your patriarch has taken special care of you, refining the essence of that Mysterious Factor for you and accumulating it in your flesh and blood. You should know that the environment of the world has changed, and the patriarchs of later generations are not as powerful, and they themselves cannot accumulate much essence factor."

He knew that Wang Xuan possessed the Mysterious Factor of the Inner Scenery Realm, but he adhered to the old agreement and did not use his telepathic abilities or clairvoyance, so he was unaware of its true nature.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan felt even more confident.

He has run his own Inner Scenery Realm, so he is essentially the founder of the religion!

In addition, he, Old Chen, Qing Mu ate the "flesh" of the White Tiger Demon in the Inner Scenery Realm. The Female Sword Immortal said that it was composed of the essence of Mysterious Factor.

"So this should be the last time we meet. Take care of yourself," the Ferryman said.

Wang Xuan ignored him, certain that he could still get in. He looked at the curtain and said, "Fellow immortals, is anyone interested in trying some wild game from the mortal world? I'll be back in a bit. If you're interested in making a purchase, you can place an order."

He didn't know if he could bring the wild game in intact.

"We could consider wild game at the Earth Immortal level," a Demon Immortals suggested.

Wang Xuan didn't want to talk anymore and urged the Ferryman to start the boat.

The Ascension Divine Bamboo Boat transformed into a streak of light and sped away, soon arriving at the shore.

Wang Xuan jumped off the boat and found himself standing on the shore of a small, blue lake, with Golden Bamboo Boat moored in the middle of the lake.

He was taken aback. Was the small lake the same as the Azure Sea?

"This place is a lake," the Ferryman said.

"See you in a bit!" Wang Xuan turned and ran off.

"You really think this is your backyard?" The Ferryman shook his head, steered the small boat slowly away, and gradually disappeared into the mist.

Before Wang Xuan even left the perilous place, he felt his body's activity increasing, undergoing a transformation, but lacking some energy, making it difficult to continue.

The Blood Grape retained some energy, but it wasn't enough.

He thought for a moment, then took out the dozen or so blue worms, pressed them against his body one by one until they were crushed, and then activated the Root Method of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners.

Sure enough, this insect was very strange, containing a large amount of Mysterious Factor that were very beneficial to his body.

These insects are far more potent than ordinary elixirs.

"I'm sorry, Great Grandmaster Horse, I'll use this insect first, and then I'll give you the Demon Fruit!" Wang Xuan muttered to himself.

After receiving the new Energy Substance, Wang Xuan felt itchy all over, and his skin was about to peel again!

In fact, it's not just the Mysterious Factor contained in the insects that are at work; a large amount of Mysterious Matter have also accumulated within his own body, and they are now surging.

A moment later, Wang Xuan took off his tattered clothes, peeling off a layer of skin. This time, he had no odor and his skin had a glistening sheen.

Previously, his Golden Body Art was at the critical point of the seventh level, barely considered to have entered the seventh level. Now, he has directly advanced to the middle stage of the seventh level!

"At the same time, I have also broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm!" Wang Xuan silently sensed the changes within himself, slightly trembled his internal organs, and immediately lightning flew out.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a streak of fire flew out and melted a rock on the ground.

His body underwent a significant change, his physique improved dramatically, and the secret power contained within his flesh and blood surged, a testament to the power that had been accumulating for a long time.

He figured that if he encountered those aliens again, he could take care of them, and none of them would be able to escape!

"Great Grandmaster is not enough. Guarding the secret path of the Lost Land, adjacent to the lairs of eight Supernatural Being, I must advance into the true Supernatural Domain here!"
