The mountains and forests were devastated, as if they had been violently "shaved," with large areas blown apart. Only some blood remained of those people, with no other traces. Even the mithril flying sword turned into iron filings in the ripples.

Even the distant Stone Mountain were affected; several large snakes hiding in the caves were cut into pieces, but at least their corpses were left behind.

Using his powerful spiritual energy, Wang Xuan searched and dug out some Mountain Snail from the cracked mountain. It took him more than two hours to collect a whole basketful.

Even in ancient times, this was considered a unique delicacy, a side dish for immortals to enjoy with their drinks.

Mature Mountain Snail are as big as an adult's fist. Their shells are like jade, crystal clear and very beautiful. The meat has a subtle luster and a faint fragrance.

This stuff is extremely rare; even top-tier conglomerates in New Star only use it to make medicinal liquor.

"A basket of Mountain Snail led to a bloodbath..." Wang Xuan sighed. It was not easy to get something to eat, which attracted more than forty herb-gathering experts to hunt him down.

This was truly a delicacy on the edge of a knife. He walked a tightrope between life and death, listened to the clanging of flying swords, and watched mountains crumble and the earth sink. Finally, he managed to collect it.

He hurried towards the Earth Immortal City. Today was too dangerous; if it weren't for the treasures within the Inner Scenery Realm, he would most likely be in grave danger.

"It doesn't seem like a weapon; it carries a faint medicinal fragrance. It's more like Alchemy Furnace for refining medicinal herbs," Wang Xuan pondered.

This makes it even more mysterious. Can something used for alchemy really have such great power?

A thought struck him. He wasn't far from gathering herbs. This realm was of profound significance, deeply connected to future realms, and even involved Spiritual Great Medicine. He wondered if this Alchemy Furnace could come in handy.

When Wang Xuan returned to the Earth Immortal City, the Heluo Star who had traded Mountain Snail with him received the news immediately. He was instantly terrified, his face turned pale, and he was completely numb.

He knew the inside story: a group of experts at the herb-gathering level were waiting outside, but they hadn't managed to kill this alien.

Old Chen arrived and, upon learning of Wang Xuan's predicament, joined him in directly confronting the Supernatural Practitioner Heluo, Euler, and Yuhua.

"Unless you never leave Earth Immortal City, you will be hunted down and retaliated against if you leave the city. None of you will survive."

Old Chen, carrying a spear stained with Sun Gold, pointed at each person one by one, a blatant display of intimidation and threat, and then began... collecting protection money!

The extraordinary person who tricked Wang Xuan out of the city almost collapsed to the ground. Trembling, he was the first to come over, returned the Jade Talisman he had given earlier, and presented him with four more from his collection.

"It's voluntary, we won't force anyone. We're just raising funds right now. Whoever can give us some Jade Talisman will be doing us a good deed," Old Chen said.

He was indeed terrified. Wang Xuan had almost died outside the city. The people from the three Supernatural Planet were extremely vicious, actually summoning such a group of powerful individuals from their home planet.

However, only experts at the herb-gathering level can come over there; the upper limit is capped. With so many people dying, the people on the other side of the wormhole are probably going to get really worried.

Wang Xuan remained silent. Old Chen was in charge of making threats, while he was responsible for collecting the Jade Talisman, exuding a murderous aura. He had just broken through to the next level and really wanted to test his skills on this group of people.

"Little Wang!" Zhou Yun appeared again, giving Wang Xuan a headache. With him there was Zheng Rui, and then the Female Daoist practitioner. He really didn't want to have any contact with them!

Zhou Yun is Ling Wei's cousin. He was repeatedly beaten by Wang Xuan in the Old Earth, and even suffered broken bones in Qingcheng Mountain. Wang Xuan's five pages of Golden Book was taken from his pocket.

Of course, Zhou Yun mistakenly thought it was made by a mixed-race person.

Who knew that Zhou Yun's attitude towards Wang Xuan would change over time, especially after they arrived at the secret place, where he began to treat him like a brother.

"It's alright, no need to run. The Female Daoist practitioner hasn't shown up yet," Old Chen told Wang Xuan to stay calm, as it was nothing serious.

"Little Wang, long time no see. Why are you running away? Last time, you covered our retreat and went to deal with the alien grandmasters all by yourself. Zhong Cheng said that you used your wit and courage to take down several Great Grandmaster using poisonous bees. That was truly amazing! I admire you more and more. After we get back to New Star, I'm going to find my uncle, Old Ling, and have a serious talk with him. A feudal patriarch shouldn't be like that. I think you and Ling Wei are a good match."

Zhou Yun ran over and patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder affectionately.

Wang Xuan felt a headache coming on, thinking that he was just causing trouble for no reason.

"Come on, help me collect the Jade Talisman. See? Write down who doesn't want to pay." Wang Xuan pulled Zhou Yun over to collect the money.

"Little Wang, what's wrong with you? You dare to ask aliens for protection money?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "It wasn't me, it was Old Chen. The former Great Grandmaster Chen Yongjie has now become Chen the Supernatural, and he is unmatched in Three Stars. Old Chen insisted on charging them a peace insurance fee."

Zhou Yun exclaimed, "Wow, Great Grandmaster really is a gangster. No wonder some of the more powerful old men at our New Star said that this kind of person is not to be trifled with, and you should report your whereabouts before going out. If you really mess with him, you should kill him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous!"

Wang Xuan was speechless. Zhou Yun was really outspoken and dared to say anything!

Old Chen had a sour face and ignored him.

Zhou Yun's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Great Grandmaster, no, Chen the Supernatural, I was just trying to give you a heads-up. Some old men on New Star are extremely wary of you. Now that you've been resurrected and even advanced to the Supernatural Domain, I reckon some people will have to think twice. They'll probably have to figure out how to deal with you, or rather, how to handle you."

Old Chen was somewhat surprised. He looked him over a few times, nodded, and accepted the kindness.

Zhong Cheng also arrived, and Zhou Yun pulled him along to help collect the insurance. The people from the three Supernatural Planet were shocked, angry, and afraid.

They learned that a group of herb-gathering experts, no less than forty in number, had crossed over from their homeland to exterminate the Alien Demon, but they might end up being the ones who were wiped out!

This shocked them. They couldn't believe that one or two Alien Demons could do this. There must be a large number of aliens lurking outside the city.

They strongly suspected that the Earth Immortal City was under siege.

In particular, Zhou Yun shouted on the spot, "Hurry up, you are surrounded by Chen the Supernatural alone. He has his eye on you. Let me tell you, he is the biggest gangster leader on the planet!"

Zhong Cheng also looked serious and warned, "Old Chen said that Heaven cherishes life. Hand over the jade Jade Talisman for safety, otherwise, when you leave the Earth Immortal City, heads will roll!"

The reason they were so enthusiastic was that Wang Xuan and Old Chen told them that if they collected more Jade Talisman, they would get a few for themselves later.

A group of extraordinary individuals cannot understand their language, but they can capture thoughts and perceive their meaning through the spiritual realm.

Using their own understanding, the way they looked at Old Chen completely changed. Was this the overlord of the underground world of a life-bearing planet? The leader of the gray area!

Zhong Qing also arrived. She had long, slender legs, a pure and beautiful face, bright eyes, and white teeth. She first glared at her younger brother, but when she learned that there were Jade Talisman to be had, she quickly joined in as well.

Little Zhong was eloquent, with a sweet voice and a gentle demeanor. After some persuasion, he accepted a pile of Jade Talisman.

Zheng Rui remained relatively calm and spoke little throughout.

The city's law enforcement officers couldn't stand it any longer and secretly notified the White Peacock. The great demon himself had come and decisively stopped them, thus preventing them from returning the jade Jade Talisman they had received.

The White Peacock glanced at Zheng Rui, then flew away.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen calculated that they now had a total of 150 jade Jade Talisman, which was more than half of their total!

"We should be able to sweep the top seven spots," Wang Xuan said.

He felt that it would be a waste to concentrate all the resources in the hands of one or two people, so he thought it would be better to distribute them reasonably and make friends with them.

He, Old Chen, Old Zhong, Zheng Rui, Zhou Yun, Zhong Qing, Zhong Cheng all went to receive the award, so... they would all be caught in one fell swoop, and the most important fortune would be in their hands.

Of course, Wang Xuan planned to disappear without a trace, leaving the six of them to receive the award.

The White Peacock's spiritual energy conveyed a message that all rewards were based on the number of Jade Talisman one could exchange for, and that they should consider whether to distribute them among themselves.

The top-tier reward requires an extremely large number of Jade Talisman, which can be obtained by accumulating a massive amount of points.

This was a warning to them, telling them not to use tricks, leaving the others speechless, and blocking their path to wealth.

"Senior, how do we leave the secret realm? The extraordinary energy is surging right now, and the spaceship can't land. Are we going to be trapped here forever?" Wang Xuan asked.

If there was no other way, he could only venture into the deepest part of the secret realm to find the old fox and borrow the Transcendent Immortals' spaceship to leave, hoping that the old fox wouldn't be too treacherous or terrifying.

"I will see you off." The White Peacock reappeared and glanced at the beads on Zheng Rui's wrist.

Then, it warned Wang Xuan not to leave the city and that he needed to go in person to collect the rewards from the Transcendent Immortals.

In an instant, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Was he being watched?!

He couldn't help but look at Zheng Rui, where a blurry figure floated out from the string of beads. It really wasn't hiding anything anymore; it had revealed itself right away.

However, only Supernatural Practitioner like Wang Xuan and Old Chen could see it; Zhong Qing, Zhou Yun, and others were unaware.

The Female Daoist practitioner's robes fluttered as she gracefully flew away, disappearing from the area around the Earth Immortal City altar.

Time passed quickly, and the extraordinary battle ended. The sound of bells rang out in the Earth Immortal City, echoing for dozens or even hundreds of miles. All sorts of extraordinary monsters rushed here as if on a pilgrimage.

In the center of the Earth Immortal City, a light curtain rose from the enormous altar, and the great curtain that had separated one world from another reappeared!

Wang Xuan arrived reluctantly, carrying a pile of Jade Talisman. He had no choice, as the White Peacock was personally watching over him, essentially escorting him here himself.

"Senior, I want to know, will Transcendent Immortals descend upon our world?" Wang Xuan asked, unsure of what to do.

"Why ask so many questions? You'll find out soon enough," the White Peacock replied calmly.

The curtain expands, revealing a boundless interior, magnificent mountains and rivers, and a scenery so beautiful it's almost dreamlike. Above the clouds are jade palaces and floating celestial mountains, Sacred Beast running on the clouds, and Immortal Bird soaring down from the moon...

In the Earth Immortal City, whether they were extraordinary beings or monsters from the secret realm, everyone stared in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbelief.

As the curtain drew near, a vast array of scenery began to appear, ranging from scriptures and herbs to various mysterious artifacts—all things of good fortune that could be exchanged for Jade Talisman.

Zhong Cheng's pupils contracted as he spotted Golden Bamboo Slip among the pile of scriptures, which appeared to be of an alarmingly high rank!

He immediately restrained himself and quickly practiced the Calming Heart Incantation that Old Zhong had taught him, unifying his thoughts and feelings and containing them within his body, without any abnormalities.

Zhong Qing was also shaken, but she remained calm and composed, without letting a single thought slip out.

Soon, they discovered the Five-Colored Jade Book, also on the top floor!

"Stop looking. Most of the scriptures at the top have been lost. Most of the powerful immortals who practiced those scriptures back then died in battle within the curtain."

The White Peacock reminded everyone to be realistic and not to look at the scriptures on the top level, as they were not intended for them.

"Back then, there were great battles between Earth Immortals, clashes between Master of Nurturing Life, and battles between Ascension level beings. In that era, even the most Transcendent Immortals could descend and fight here, vying for legendary treasures and the strongest scriptures."

The White Peacock sighed softly, "Those days the Vanished and can never be returned."

Zhong Qing and Zhong Cheng saw some familiar scriptures one after another, and they both felt a little numb.

The siblings exchanged a glance and realized that Old Zhong's study was just too damn... incredible!

Old Chen was comforting Wang Xuan, speaking to him without revealing his thoughts or feelings, only exchanging mechanically in the Old Earth dialect, saying, "It's alright, what are the chances? I don't believe you can run into the Red-clothed Demon Immortal everywhere you go. If she appears this time, I'll stand up for you, I'll call for her to perform the Demon Immortal Dance!"

Wang Xuan's lips twitched as he said, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't provoke me. Lately, my words have become law, and they often come true. I don't want to talk about her anymore."

In fact, he didn't care anymore. He felt that the true form of the Female Daoist practitioner from the pre-Qin period who became an immortal would most likely come from the other side of the curtain and appear here.

In that case, it doesn't seem like a big deal to have one more Demon Immortals or one or two more top-tier immortal experts.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt a jolt in his heart. He quickly regained his composure and calmly observed the few objects at the top. They were blurry and indistinct, and he couldn't see them very clearly.

Although there was a furnace that was faint and indistinct, he felt that it was somewhat similar to the Alchemy Furnace in his Inner Scenery Realm!

"Don't bother looking at the top reward; it wasn't prepared for you. It was lost long ago, and even the most powerful immortals among Transcendent Immortals yearn for it but can never attain it."

The White Peacock reminded everyone once again not to be arrogant, and that some things are best left to legend.

"Senior, then tell us the legend." Someone spoke up; it was a Sword Cultivator from the Yuhua Star Life Soil Realm.

"Yes, senior, let us learn about those mysterious artifacts." Many people echoed.

"Hmm, for example, the Carefree Boat can traverse all Higher Mental World. There are some places that even Transcendent Immortals cannot go to, but riding it is as easy as walking on flat ground. You can pick immortal peaches in the Peach Garden, pick immortal gourds in Mount Buzhou, and enter the Great Red Heaven to collect the Nine-Revolutions Elixir Qi... It's all done with ease."

"For example, the Furnace Body..." the White Peacock mentioned the Alchemy Furnace.

Wang Xuan immediately perked up and listened carefully. He felt that it really resembled the Alchemy Furnace in the Inner Scenery Realm!
