Old Chen noticed that the Female Daoist practitioner had not returned and had remained in the secret place for the time being!

Wang Xuan guessed that after some time, she would most likely return to New Star aboard Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin's spaceship, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Zheng Rui recovered and was no longer hypnotized. He remembered most of his earlier adventures, but his memory of sensitive events was vague and inexplicable.

On the spaceship, Zhou Yun burst into tears, on the verge of losing control, and hugged Zheng Rui, feeling incredibly grateful.

He had lived in constant fear in the secret realm, repeatedly chased and bitten by monsters with their gaping maws. If Zheng Rui hadn't extended his "Hand of God," he would have died long ago. Even with his strong heart, he was still terrified, his calves cramping and his whole body trembling.

"Waiter, bring me the wine!" Zhou Yun shouted, wiping away her tears.

Zhong Cheng looked at him strangely and reminded him, "Brother Zhou, we're on a spaceship. You've been crying your eyes out."

"Is there any alcohol on the spaceship? Bring it all over, it's on me!" Zhou Yun shouted.

"Look at this kid, with his buzz cut and somewhat 'wild' looks. I thought he was unruly, but I didn't expect him to cry as soon as he boarded the ship," Old Chen sighed.

"He was unruly, but after going through this, even a normal person couldn't bear it." Wang Xuan gestured for him to look, and the survivors were all sitting there, many of them trembling.

For these people, the days in the secret land were like years of hell. Every day they had to run away as soon as they opened their eyes, and dared not stay in one place for long. They were always on edge when night fell, fearing that they would not live to see the dawn.

They often watched helplessly as their companions were bitten in half by monsters right before their eyes, blood splattering on their bodies and faces. Such nightmares and bloody experiences played out every day.

When they first went to the secret land, everyone was full of high spirits, but now that few are left, everyone is silent, and some are even shedding tears.

This journey to the secret realm wiped out a group of old men, including eleven who wanted to emulate Old Zhong and live a second life.

The other eight old men, seeing that things were not going well, ran away soon after arriving at the secret place. It can only be said that they were too shrewd; as soon as they noticed something unusual, they made a quick escape.

Those who react slowly will find themselves cut off from the outside world and unable to escape when they try to leave afterward.

As for the expeditions organized by the younger generation, the situation is even more dire. Many teams together had hundreds of people, but how many are left now?

Wang Xuan counted them and found that only twenty-eight people had successfully boarded the spaceship; ninety percent of them had been wiped out.

"When we get back this time, everyone will really be in mourning," Zhong Cheng sighed. A bunch of old men had died, but Old Zhong... was alive and even younger!

If Old Zhong were to emerge from his cicada shell six months later and appear to be in his twenties or thirties, he would likely be hated by many; even a living old man would be furious if he were to eat his heart.

"It was really tough. They were fine when they went there, but they were all gone when they came back." Zhou Yun calmed down a bit.

At least six or seven of the wealthy scions he knew were dead, and apart from a few who were hiding in the Earth Immortal City, almost all of his acquaintances outside were dead.

"Brother Zhou, you should be content. After all, you're still alive and have consumed the elixir, which has greatly increased your strength!" Zhong Cheng said.

"Xiaocheng, I think you two siblings will be in danger after you go back. Old Zhong is a swindler, and I bet a lot of people want to beat you up. You should lay low for a while," Zhou Yun said.

Zhong Qing pouted and said, "What does this have to do with us? If they're not convinced, let them go find my great-grandfather. Oh, my great-grandfather was already extraordinary before he came to the secret realm. I don't know what realm he's in now."

Everyone was speechless. Had Old Zhong become a powerful figure? He was not to be trifled with! He was already the head of a super conglomerate, and now he was so strong that everyone was wary of him.

Fortunately, his family was very wealthy and powerful, and he was part of a conglomerate, so they didn't dare to act recklessly.

The food cart was pushed in, and it was full of alcohol. Whether they were numb or wiping away tears, everyone silently took the alcohol and poured it into their mouths.

Some people choked and coughed, but continued drinking. Soon, some people burst into tears, releasing their fear and sorrow.

Drinking alcohol is harmful to health, but it can sometimes be a good thing. These people who survived disasters and have been traumatized are relaxing their cerebral cortex, crying and talking, releasing all kinds of negative emotions, and telling their fears and tragic experiences.

The group laughed and cried, but things finally stabilized.

An old explorer, drunk and hiccuping, said, "Men just can't control their lower bodies in extreme situations. I regret it so much."

People looked at him, their gazes suddenly becoming strange, and then they glanced at the female explorers nearby.

Zhou Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand you. It's normal to make mistakes in extreme situations. Thinking about it carefully, I've made quite a few similar mistakes in the past."

"I understand, that puts my mind at ease. So you've urinated in public before too." The old explorer breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yun was still a little tipsy, but he still felt something was wrong.

The old explorer shook himself, the seat beneath him was wet, and said, "I was overjoyed and overwhelmed with emotion, just like you always are. I couldn't help myself and made a fool of myself."

"Brother Zhou, have you ever done something like this?" Zhong Cheng asked.

"I didn't! This... who the hell has ever made such a mistake!"

"You said it yourself, I've remembered it!"

The spaceship landed safely at the Brown Star base, a neighboring planet, much like the relationship between Mars and the Old Earth.

As the group stepped onto this safe land, they all breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping that monster-infested world. Many vowed never to go on an adventure again.

After being given time to wash up, eat, and rest briefly, they were questioned by various parties to learn more about the details of the secret location.

When they learned that Old Chen had advanced to the Supernatural Domain, some financial conglomerate exploration teams, as well as the people in this base, were all shocked and took it seriously.

Old Chen never left alone, always staying close to Zhou Yun, Zhong Qing, and the others, afraid that some unscrupulous person might unleash a super energy blast on him.

As for how to get back, he decided that the spaceship he chose had to be one used by the direct descendants of wealthy tycoons or by powerful old men, so that it would be safe.

Because he was afraid the spaceship would "crash" halfway through the journey.

Even his apprentice Qing Mu arranged for the Number One Person in the New Arts Olesha, to leave peacefully, demonstrating his expertise. Not to mention Old Chen, who was "perfectly familiar" with the matter.

The news of Wang Xuan becoming a grandmaster has spread. His young age is indeed remarkable, indicating his enormous potential and that his future achievements will undoubtedly be astonishing.

But with Old Chen leading the way and Old Zhong undergoing his metamorphosis, the appearance of these two extraordinary powerhouses made him less eye-catching.

Therefore, he remained calm. With two extraordinary experts blocking the way, this underwater "crocodile" was at peace, enjoying the rare tranquility, basking in the sun and drinking juice in the protective layer of the Brown Star base.

"There was a Grandmaster Wang Xiao in the Old Earth, and now there's a Grandmaster Wang, both of whom are related to Old Chen, this..." someone began to have doubts.

Everyone is analyzing the situation, but the focus remains on Old Chen.

In fact, Zhong Qing was the first to become suspicious; she had been observing Wang Xuan.

"Where's Xiao... cheng? Zhong Qing, sit down, bask in the exotic sun, and drink some fresh juice. It's quite nice."

Zhong Qing listened to what he said, and then glanced at the coconut melon juice he was drinking, which was supposed to help with fullness and beauty. She felt like she was being targeted, so she glared at him and turned to leave.

Wang Xuan was speechless; he had effectively killed the conversation.

They cannot leave yet. Upon returning from the Secret Realm, they must be quarantined for two days and undergo continuous testing to prevent bringing alien superbugs, supernatural substances, or mysterious objects back to New Star.

This is a routine procedure; all expeditions undergo this quarantine and testing upon their return.

Of course, sometimes outrageous people like Old Zhong will skip this step.

Zhou Yun walked over, affectionately put his arm around Wang Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Little Wang, thank you for saving me in the secret place. After we return to New Star, I'll arrange the sea party, the beautiful women, and the spaceship rides. I want to repay you properly."

Then, he spoke mysteriously, saying, "We'll bypass my uncle, Old Ling, and invite my cousin Ling Wei, out. How about that, Brother Zhou, isn't that a good deal?"

Not far away, on another deck chair, Zhong Cheng spoke up, saying, "Little Wang, my sister said that Brother Zhou is not a good person. He organizes gatherings and often causes all sorts of 'messages,' and he frequently gets into fights. Before he came to Midi, he suffered a great loss in New Arts. It seems that he was jealous of a woman and ended up getting beaten up by her. Don't get on his bad side."

"Xiao Cheng, I don't like hearing that. Do you want Little Wang to end up on your sister's thieving bed, no, on the thieving ship?"

Zhong Qing appeared and glared fiercely at Zhou Yun from a distance.

"Unknown warship detected!"

"Warning! An unknown warship is rapidly approaching in space."

A piercing alarm sounded from the base, and an anomaly was detected in the starry sky: three strangely shaped spaceships were rapidly approaching.

They were now certain that this was neither New Star's spaceship nor their own technology; it even appeared to possess some extraordinary attributes.

In front of a spaceship, a huge flying sword hovers in the air, clearing the way!

"How did it appear? Why wasn't it detected earlier?"

"It seems to have come from a secret place, which is why it appeared so abrupt and could not be detected in advance."

"They're hostile. Quickly, crush them!"

Old Chen, Wang Xuan, Zhong Qing, and the others were also alarmed. They were all surprised when they saw the warships on the big screen.

"Annihilate them! They are people from three Supernatural Planet. They've come out to retaliate!" Old Chen said coldly.

Outside the secret realm, a space probe clearly captured the shape of the spaceship, as well as the patterns on the huge flying sword that cleared the way, which were similar to the patterns on the weapons of Yuhua, Euler, and Heluo Star.

"Thump!"

The base had already activated its defensive light barrier, and at the same time, warships surged up, emitting blinding beams of light to bombard the three approaching warships.

Sizzle!

In fact, the other side also took action, with all three spaceships successively emitting terrifying Energy Beam to lock onto the area.

Boom!

Terrifying light emanated from the starry sky as they clashed and intercepted each other, their light shields activating and energy surging.

"That's interesting. Their spaceships are a product of the combination of technology and supernatural power. That's a new direction. However, they are currently lagging behind our warships and are no match for us."

The people in the base calmed down, convinced that the other side was not a threat to them.

"In this universe, there are four life-bearing planets. One of them is an advanced Supernatural Civilization, and the other three are ordinary Supernatural Civilization. As it stands, none of them pose a threat to our universe. Supernatural matter is receding, and even Earth Immortals have almost disappeared here."

Old Chen informed him of some important information.

Boom!

The warship from Heluo Star was blown up like fireworks, but creatures flew out, radiating dazzling light.

"A robot, no? It looks like a supernatural weapon. Is it some kind of puppet weapon?" Old Chen murmured. He had been invited by the base to serve as an advisor and explain things related to the supernatural.

It was a metallic figure, over ten meters tall, covered in runes, which was clearly detected by the New Star's warship.

The metal figure burst forth with dazzling light, its runes densely covering the void, before it hurtled toward the Brown Star at breakneck speed.

"Earth Immortal-level Puppet Weapon!" Old Chen gasped. The three Supernatural Planet still had some terrifying resources. Although they no longer had true Earth Immortals, they still possessed weapons of this level.

"It's alright. We detected energy fluctuations. It can destroy warships, but it won't have a chance to get close to us. It's far weaker than that creature that appeared on the New Moon, which was suspected to be a Transcendent Immortals. It's not even in the same league!"

The people on the New Star side are becoming increasingly confident.

Boom!

Terrifying Energy Beam shot past, causing a massive explosion in the starry sky. The Earth Immortal-level puppet was blasted apart, unable to withstand the bombardment of the warship.

The other two warships also disintegrated, each releasing a puppet weapon of Earth Immortal level.

Each of the three Supernatural Planet dispatched a warship, carrying combat power at the Earth Immortal level. They were indeed capable of destroying the New Star's warship, but could not get close.

In legends, even earth immortals who can fly and live for countless years cannot withstand the bombardment of modern warships.

This deeply touched Old Chen. At this stage, he should keep a low profile at New Star. Reporting his travels... well, let's report them then.

Wang Xuan also witnessed this scene, his eyes deep. He made up his mind to live in a megacity, as that would be more secure.

"Boom!"

The three Earth Immortal-level puppets were destroyed one after another, and the starry sky fell silent!

The Female Daoist practitioner in the secret place spoke, saying, "You see, the world has corrected its mistakes, the universe has returned to normal, and technological civilization has regained its brilliance, enough to threaten the Transcendent Immortals. Three years later, if they cannot find their way out and manage to escape the curtain, the surviving Transcendent Immortals will need to slowly adapt to this era, otherwise their situation will be precarious."

The White Peacock nodded silently.

Two days later, Wang Xuan, Old Chen, and the others officially embarked on their return journey, first heading to a wormhole several light-years away, from where they would return to the cosmic space where the New Star resided.

"Finally, we're leaving this vast Universe Sea of Stars forever." Many people felt this way, thinking that being alive to go back was a blessing, and they never wanted to come back.

Wang Xuan's thoughts were racing. Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin should return to New Star, but he didn't know if he would ever see Great Grandmaster Horse again in this life, nor did he know if he would ever see that vain Little Fox again.

When the supernatural fades, will they still retain their spirituality? Will they revert to being just ordinary wild beasts? Thinking about these things, he could only sigh.

The spaceship carried Zhong Qing, Zheng Rui, Zhou Yun, and others, including Old Zhong, as well as several middle-aged men of considerable status. They were on their way back to report on the discovery of several Supernatural Planet.

If it weren't for these people on the same boat, Old Chen would never have set off.

"Is this vast starry sea connected by the wormhole a parallel universe, or just a galaxy in a relatively remote part of the universe?" Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"It can be interpreted in any way; there's no definitive answer yet," a middle-aged man said.

Currently, they call this place the Secret Universe.

In fact, the chaebols and others initially explored a place called Fuchi, which was known as the Fuchi Universe.

Many years ago, the blessed land was overflowing with extraordinary Energy Substance, making it impossible to approach. Many laboratories and a large number of explorers were left there, isolating it from the outside world.

"If the extraordinary tide recedes in three years, those people might be able to be brought back. In fact, there might be a turnaround in less than three years."

"Years have passed, and if those who remained on the blessed planet are still alive, some of them might have become very strong."

Wang Xuan learned that the people of New Star could not create wormholes; all they had discovered were naturally formed, or perhaps left behind by Vanished civilizations.

Some people now believe that a wormhole connects to a parallel universe, while others believe that a wormhole connects to a corner of the universe.

"The New Arts was also discovered on a life-bearing planet in a starry sky."

On his way back, Wang Xuan learned a lot about deep space exploration events.

"Those people in the West have been exploring the Wizard Universe in a very mysterious way."

These words stirred up Wang Xuan's heart. He wondered if the ebb tide of the extraordinary would affect all planets. Theoretically speaking, if mythology decayed, it should be all-encompassing.

If the world were to correct itself, it wouldn't be limited to just one place.

"Several years ago, a universe similar to the Wuxia World was also discovered."

Upon hearing this, Old Chen became very interested. If the extraordinary had vanished, there might be some hope there. The secret manuals brought back from that world might offer some inspiration.

Boom!

The spaceship pierced through the stargate and burst out of the wormhole.

This is a planet named Deep Space Star 19, which has a stargate connecting to the Secret Universe.

This location is several light-years away from the New Star; maintaining a certain distance is crucial to ensuring the safety of the mother planet.

The spaceship activated its Warp Drive and landed on the New Star a few hours later. They were back!
