Mu Xue's face immediately darkened. She was revered as a fairy on Yuhua Star, but in the mouths of these alien natives, she was described as a little woman who only knew how to cry.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Ancestor Wang, remember this well. This name is destined to spread throughout the deep space. Wherever there are living beings, everyone will know my name," Wang Xuan replied calmly.

"Arrogant!" Mu Xue couldn't stand him anymore. Where did this guy come from? He was so arrogant, dreaming of becoming a god-like figure who could shake the stars.

"Arrogant!" The others behind him also looked grim. As for Yuan Kun, he coughed up blood several more times and struggled to get up for a long time. He finally managed to take out a pill and swallow it, which stabilized his injuries.

If he cannot recover quickly, the geniuses from the other two Supernatural Planet will definitely hunt him down on the way.

"Wait a moment!" Wang Xuan told Mu Xue to wait, then strode towards Yuan Kun.

"What do you want to do?" Yuan Kun asked with a grim face. He didn't believe that this alien would disobey Old Fox's warning and kill him here.

"Picking up the spoils of war. You just stole one of my pills, I've noted that. Hand over your Jade Talisman!" Wang Xuan casually began to loot.

Yuan Kun was trembling with anger, but he had not fully recovered yet and was powerless to stop it. Even if he were to fully return to his peak, it seemed he still couldn't stop it.

"Senior, isn't he going too far?" he asked the old fox for help.

"Take the Jade Talisman, and that's enough," the old fox said.

"No, don't touch my Jade Talisman. I'm willing to give you ten more." Yuan Kun quickly stopped him.

Each person's Jade Talisman has their own name on it, written in demonic script by the White Peacock herself. They must carry it with them, and once it is stolen, the competition is over.

"Your ten Jade Talisman originally belonged to me." Wang Xuan searched him without any politeness.

"I've placed all those Jade Talisman in the Earth Immortal City," Yuan Kun told him. Apart from his own, which he was required to keep on his person, he didn't bring any of the other spoils with him.

"Send someone to get it. I'm waiting, or I'll confiscate your Jade Talisman. Ten won't do, at least twenty!" Wang Xuan took his talisman without any hesitation.

Yuan Kun almost spat out a mouthful of blood; this was practically going to wipe him out completely!

But if he doesn't agree, he'll be eliminated immediately. Forget about the top three rewards in the Earth Immortal City; he won't even be qualified for the slightly lower-ranked opportunities.

"People always have to pay the price for their words and actions." Wang Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

Yuan Kun's eyes blazed with fury, and he deeply regretted his earlier provocation.

In fact, he was overthinking it. Even if he hadn't said those extreme things, Wang Xuan would have confiscated his Jade Talisman completely.

Yuan Kun's face was ashen. He waved to the forest, signaling one of his Supernatural Practitioner to return to the Earth Immortal City to retrieve the Jade Talisman.

Not far away, Old Chen watched with envy. Twenty Jade Talisman were about to be his!

He spoke to the old fox, saying, "Senior, I feel I am still young and Fang Gang, like the rising sun!"

The old fox ignored him.

The Little Fox Immortal pouted and said, "You look older than my grandfather."

Old Chen wanted to punch it away, and really wanted to say, "I just drank from the Earth Immortal Spring not long ago, and I'm only thirty years old now. Your grandfather is a real old monster!"

"My grandfather looks to be in his early twenties," the Little Fox added.

Old Chen was speechless, feeling that neither of these two Fox Spirit, one big and one small, were good people!

Meanwhile, Mu Xue's battle with Wang Xuan began. She kept a great distance, clearly not wanting to engage him in physical combat.

Besides unleashing wave after wave of Palm Thunder, she suddenly summoned a streak of light, which turned out to be a flying sword, slashing towards Wang Xuan's neck with lightning speed.

That speed is incredible, it arrives in an instant!

Even for Sword Cultivator, generally speaking, they cannot control flying swords in the early stages of the Transcendent Realm, yet she actually managed to do it.

There are only two possibilities for her to have achieved this: either she possesses exceptionally strong mental power, or she has a rare treasure to aid her.

Even Old Chen's expression changed, worried that Wang Xuan wouldn't have time to dodge and wouldn't be able to block it. After all, the attack power of Sword Cultivator is known throughout the world as exceptionally strong!

Wang Xuan dodged with lightning speed, but the flying sword followed him like a shadow, still aiming for his neck.

He raised his hand, using the first True Form Diagrams of the strongest scripture, and struck forward. With a clang, his palm struck the side of the flying sword, the sound deafening, and the brilliant light of the entire flying sword dimmed instantly.

Everyone's expression changed. How powerful was his attack? Did it shatter the runes on the flying sword?

Snap!

When Wang Xuan made his second strike, the flying sword exploded, sending glittering fragments flying in all directions.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine as he felt a cold sword blade slashing towards him, already reaching the back of his neck. His opponent had quietly summoned a second flying sword, which struck abruptly.

He quickly shifted his body to the side to dodge the sword, but was still grazed by it. Then people saw that the flying sword struck as if it had hit fine gold, sending sparks flying everywhere!

His neck wasn't broken; the flying sword grazed past, leaving a bright red mark, but ultimately it didn't cut in!

Wang Xuan touched his neck; it hurt terribly, almost bleeding. The blade had managed to penetrate a little into his skin, but ultimately it hadn't broken through his defenses.

Even the Sword Cultivator with powerful attack skills couldn't cut through his physical body, so he re-examined the strongest scripture.

In terms of protective techniques, even the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and the Nine Tribulations Profound Body are auxiliary scriptures of the mysterious True Form Diagrams on the training stone slab, which made Wang Xuan realize that his defense was actually so strong.

Clang!

He caught the flying sword with his bare hands, holding it tightly in his hand, ready to keep it as a trophy.

However, the flying sword vibrated violently, cutting red marks on his palm and almost drawing blood.

Snap!

Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and snapped the flying sword in two.

Then, he pounced forward with lightning speed, chasing after Mu Xue.

Mu Xue's face turned pale as she retreated rapidly. Encountering such an invulnerable monster was her greatest nemesis.

However, she was no match for Wang Xuan, and he caught up with her.

Wang Xuan slapped forward, Mu Xue dodged and attacked with her Mental Secret Power.

She was horrified to discover that Wang Xuan had ignored her mental attacks, which had no effect whatsoever.

Wang Xuan grabbed her arm and punched her twice in an instant. Her stomach churned, and she was in excruciating pain. Her ribs were broken, and then her face was slapped across the face.

"Stop!" the old fox said, using a secret technique. The entire space was like a swamp, with an inexplicable force pulling it, turning it into ripples that filled every inch of space.

"Stop! She's given up!" Jiang Xuan shouted.

If it weren't for the old fox's intervention, Mu Xue would have been severely injured. Even so, she still received a light slap to the face, causing her nose to sting and tears to flow uncontrollably. It wasn't that she wanted to cry, but rather that her nose couldn't bear the intense pain.

"Look, I made you cry." Wang Xuan kindly helped her up from the ground.

Mu Xue, dressed in white like snow and ethereal like a fairy, was now in pain all over. Grass and leaves clung to her body, and her white clothes were stained with dust. In addition, tears rolled uncontrollably down her beautiful face, making her look more disheveled than ever before.

She really wanted to slash the man in front of her, but her flying sword couldn't cut him!

"Does it hurt that much? Don't cry," Wang Xuan comforted her, then added, "Give me the Jade Talisman."

Mu Xue was absolutely furious!

Jiang Xuan walked over quickly and said directly, "I'll have someone fetch twenty Jade Talisman for you!"

"No, it won't work. We need thirty." Wang Xuan shook his head.

While wiping away her tears, Mu Xue asked in shame and indignation, "Why?"

"There are two of you, so you must have more Jade Talisman," Wang Xuan said matter-of-factly.

"I didn't even participate, why are you including me?" Jiang Xuan thought he had misheard.

"Yeah, if you were to participate, I'd charge her twenty Jade Talisman, and I'd charge you twenty tokens later too. But I guess you won't dare to participate, so I'll just charge you both thirty tokens. After all, she cried, so I'll give you a discount." Wang Xuan said seriously, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Jiang Xuan nearly suffered internal injuries from holding it in; who could he complain to? He looked at the old fox.

"If you can't solve the problem, then fight it out. Didn't you yourselves choose to fight him?" the old fox said leisurely.

"Alright, thirty!" Jiang Xuan agreed. He would never make a move, because he also used a flying sword, and his strength was even a notch below Mu Xue's.

Old Chen walked over and whispered to Wang Xuan, "You're having a good time collecting the Jade Talisman now, but if they call in experts at the herb-gathering level, we'll definitely be hunted down!"

With a serious expression, he reminded Wang Xuan to prepare for his escape.

Wang Xuan said, "They came for us anyway. Even if I don't accept the Jade Talisman, they will still intercept and kill us. So let's just accept it quickly."

Then, he set his sights on Ou Yun and his sister Ou Yuxuan.

"We're not fighting anymore. Here are twenty Jade Talisman for you," Ou Yun said directly.

Wang Xuan shook his head and refused, saying, "No, we must have a fight. I want to see just how powerful the secret techniques of the former number one cultivation family are."

Ou Yuxuan made a decisive move, quickly creating distance. She used a mental technique, creating a mist around her—a Divine Illusion —and then several Spirit Spear swiftly pierced towards Wang Xuan's mind!

But the next moment, she was horrified. Wang Xuan's spirit was colorful and accompanied by a floating island, which materialized in reality.

"Heaven-Overturning Seal!" Wang Xuan shouted in a low voice.

The Suspended Island condensed with his Mental Secret Power and crashed out with a loud bang. At this moment, not only were the young geniuses from the three Supernatural Planet shocked, but even the old fox was moved.

To be able to display such wonders and connect to a corner of a certain Mental World in the early stages of transcendence is definitely one of the few cases recorded in history books!

"Show mercy!" the old fox shouted again.

Ou Yun also acted immediately to provide rapid assistance, because the confrontation of Mental Power was the most dangerous, and he was afraid that Ou Yuxuan would damage her mental body and cause problems for her whole body.

When Wang Xuan unleashed that island, it truly resembled a massive seal descending, nearly causing the brother and sister's spirits to collapse.

The two were in a daze, unconsciously taking a few steps back, completely bewildered, and did not recover for a short time.

Wang Xuan walked over and punched them in the nose, one after another, causing their senses to be overwhelmed and tears to stream down their faces.

The others were speechless. These natives were too mean; they just loved seeing them cry.

As expected, after Ou Yun and Ou Yuxuan came to their senses, they were both annoyed and ashamed, and they couldn't bear it any longer, so they quickly wiped away their tears.

"Since you two are both crying and so heartbroken, then I'll only accept thirty Jade Talisman," Wang Xuan said.

In the distance, Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin were lost in thought. Although they couldn't understand the conversation here because of the old fox's tricks, they had witnessed Wang Xuan's attack and suppression of his opponent, and were completely relieved, showing joy on their faces.

"These are really geniuses from three Supernatural Planet? They don't seem like it," the two whispered.

Five geniuses from a family of cultivators, three of them were wiping away tears, and Yuan Kun was coughing up blood. The scene was truly bizarre and left people speechless.

The five men were determined to keep the news under wraps and not let it leak out, as this battle had been far too humiliating!

The old fox sighed, "Although it's not a high-level Supernatural Planet, it still had Earth Immortals and even powerful Master of Nurturing Life hundreds of years ago. You guys need to improve. It's a bit unreasonable that you can't even defeat a rogue cultivator from a planet where extraordinary energy has receded."

This made the five of them lose face and they didn't want to say anything.

Soon after, a pile of Jade Talisman was delivered. Old Chen's eyes widened, and his heart trembled. Had they really succeeded in seizing them?

He felt that Wang Xuan had acquired far more Jade Talisman than Old Zhong.

Wang Xuan sighed and said, "Don't be envious. Prepare to flee. We're about to face a storm. If we can get through this, we'll try to break through, otherwise we'll have no way to survive."
