Desecrating the Gods
Wang Xuan believes that the so-called Zhilán Dharma Assembly may involve encountering some mysterious powerful figures, with the outcome uncertain. As for the opportunities, they are not as plentiful as those found in the secret vaults of wealthy tycoons.
"If I don't go, I might be targeted." He frowned; deep down, he didn't want to go.
Old Zhong was in high spirits and looked several years younger, which immediately attracted people's attention. They learned that his private contact with Wang Xuan to Extend Life had been effective.
Then, many phone calls came in looking for Wang Xuan, all wanting to follow suit and live a few more years so that a group of very important old men would compete with each other. Immortality was indeed a beautiful and dazzling flower in the world, rooted in the ends of the earth, seemingly unattainable, yet the legends made people throughout the ages yearn to approach it.
After answering the call, Wang Xuan told him that he really didn't have time right now, but he could send them some longevity ingredients, which would be mailed over soon. He left all of this to Qin Cheng to handle.
On this day, a group of old men received gifts. Wang Xuan distributed the extraordinary flesh and blood, which was of little use to him, so it was better to send it out sooner rather than later.
He instructed Qin Cheng to reserve some for his university classmates, and to quickly send the rest away, asking the tycoons to share the risk.
"An important conglomerate has visited West Continent and is in close contact with the Sun family. Rumors are circulating that there are extraordinary individuals among them. You need to be careful," Zhou Yun informed Wang Xuan.
In the past two days, this news has made headlines in the financial sector: the Agon Zaibatsu from the West Continent has arrived with considerable fanfare and reached a series of cooperation agreements with the Sun family.
Wang Xuan sighed, "Being an extraordinary person is really not easy. You have to know medicine to help people maintain their health, appraise treasures, and now you also have to pay attention to the financial field. Is there anyone more tired and busier than me?"
The West Continent, located across the ocean, is mostly inhabited by Westerners. Although its overall strength is not as great as that of the Easterners in the Central Continent, it should not be underestimated.
The Agon Zaibatsu is one of the Western super powers, backed by the Degan Family, and is in no way weaker than the super conglomerate Sun family.
People were surprised that the two powers from the East and West suddenly engaged in strategic cooperation, almost forming an alliance. What circumstances prompted them to come together so closely?
A source on the secret website revealed that the two companies may be jointly analyzing motherships and developing a revolutionary new type of warship that will overturn the existing system.
However, both the Degan Family and the Sun family denied this, stating that they only wanted to strengthen cooperation in deep space exploration and thus form an alliance.
The Sun family hopes to join forces with Western financial magnates to enter the planet where the Wizard World is located and explore the secrets of that universe.
Today, the Sun family's banquet hall is filled with celebrities, and everyone is having a pleasant conversation.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate. Once we have collected all the materials— Sun Gold, Mithril, Magic Crystals—we will rewrite the world order and take control of the future."
The real leaders, in a secret room, lightly clinked glasses and reached a consensus.
Both companies possess motherships excavated from the moon and belong to the same superpower. Although they publicly deny cooperation in the field of weapons, they secretly intend to jointly develop new warships.
Subsequently, Sun Rongsheng and several other core members of the Sun family accompanied the golden-haired elder Grant to the hall, making another public appearance and attracting attention.
Grant's granddaughter Christine also appeared and came to his side.
Grant explained that his granddaughter is a highly talented practitioner who has entered and exited the Wizard World many times and has an amazing track record.
"I want to introduce a warrior in particular. Although the technology is brilliant, our warships cannot enter the Wizard World. Only an extraordinary warrior can clear the way for us in that terrifying world and obtain various resources. His name is Hansolo."
Although Grant, a core executive of the Argonne conglomerate, was sixty years old, he was still very well-maintained. However, compared to the two people he introduced, he did look somewhat aged.
Christine, standing at 1.78 meters tall, attracted a lot of attention. Her blonde hair was like the radiance of the sun, her blue eyes were deep, and her skin was snow-white; she was truly captivating.
The extraordinary Hansolo is 1.9 meters tall, extremely handsome, and also has blond hair. His face and body seem to be bathed in sunlight, exuding a divine aura, like the son of the sun.
Sun Rongsheng exclaimed, "A mysterious Supernatural Practitioner with a handsome appearance, a powerful physique, and vigorous vitality is truly enviable. Looking at such a vibrant young man makes me feel old."
Although it was known that he was just using polite language in this setting, some of the people attending the banquet still didn't believe it, as the Sun family had recently clashed with the extraordinary Wang Xuan.
"I've heard that there are some active Supernatural Practitioner in the East. Recently, a man named Wang Xuan has become quite famous. Is he here? I'd like to exchange ideas and spar with him," Hansolo said.
The Sun family members immediately frowned, disliking the name Wang Xuan and not wanting to hear those two words at the banquet.
"He's in Su City, and we'll be visiting him soon." Christine's blonde hair flowed freely, her fair and beautiful face wore a smile, and her bright red lips were very sexy.
"I'm looking forward to it." Hansolo nodded, his smile as bright as the sun, but there was a subtle sense of oppression about him.
Many of the guests at the banquet heard this and were deeply moved. Was the meeting between the Western Supernatural Practitioner and Wang Xuan just a simple exchange, or was it going to be Supernatural War?!
In an instant, everyone took notice and discussed it privately, and it quickly spread to the secret network.
Zhong Qing, Zhou Yun, and others found out and immediately informed Wang Xuan that he might be in trouble soon.
On the secret internet, many people are discussing whether Western Supernatural Practitioner have arrived.
"Is it true? Western wizards, werewolves, vampires, or knights? Or perhaps beings with divine blood? These creatures have appeared? Legends have come to life, and they want to spar with our Eastern sword immortals?"
"In my opinion, One Sword Breaks All Laws, and even the resurrection of the gods in the West cannot stop a single sword light from my Shu Mountain!"
A simple conversation at the banquet was leaked and interpreted in various ways, even by the secret network of chaebol scions.
If it gets reported on by major platforms, who knows what kind of ripples it will cause.
"Where did Theo go? It's been gone for a long time, why hasn't it shown up yet?" Christine whispered.
Hansolo frowned and said, "Theo is a messenger of God, and his strength is not weak. He has been out of contact for the past few days. He should have appeared long ago."
Sun Yichen, a member of the younger generation of the Sun family, approached. He was neither cold nor gloomy, and his demeanor was impeccable. He joined their conversation, lightly clinked glasses, and asked who Theo was. Perhaps he could be of help.
"Theo is... a messenger of the gods, a descendant of the Western mythical bird. In Eastern mythology, he might be a descendant of the Golden-winged Great Peng," Christine explained earnestly.
The messenger of the gods, a descendant of mythical creatures, possessed extraordinary power, which initially put them at ease. However, after disappearing for several days, she became somewhat worried.
"God likes it very much and hopes it will transform into the Roc King," said the extraordinary Hansolo.
Sun Yichen thought to himself, "Where did this wild god come from? All extraordinary beings, including Transcendent Immortals, should be conquered!"
He wore a special jade pendant, so he wasn't worried about superhumans detecting his thoughts. By now, the Sun family had gained a better understanding of superhumans and had developed some ways to deal with them.
"Sun, I heard you're having a lot of trouble with the Supernatural Practitioner the East. Do you need my help?" Grant, a core member of the Agon Zaibatsu, asked.
Sun Rongsheng frowned at his form of address, but was too lazy to correct him; explaining it would be too tiring. He nodded and said, "It's just a minor trouble, nothing serious."
If the Sun family were to use the power of Western conglomerates to suppress Wang Xuan, they would probably be ridiculed for not being able to solve their own problems.
Of course, he glanced at the Supernatural Practitioner Hansolo not far away. If he and Christine were really going to Su City, he would be quite looking forward to it!
Sun Rongsheng smiled and said, "Grant, I have an extremely precious ingredient here, which I purchased at a high price from an old friend. It can prolong life. Please try it."
"Really, Sun? Hearing your praise and admiration, I can't wait to see it for myself," Grant said with a smile.
Christine and Hansolo were also invited and enjoyed the specially prepared delicacies.
They were surprised to find that they could indeed feel the rich active substances, which were very beneficial to cultivation. The taste was also quite good, but the quantity was too small, leaving them wanting more.
The following day, the Agon Zaibatsu traveled westward, visiting several financial magnates for two consecutive days without stopping, and received excellent hospitality.
"This delicacy is unforgettable. Although it's not the first time I've tasted it, I still have to praise it!" Grant expressed his gratitude to the host at the banquet held by the Qin Family.
Then, he tasted this delicacy at both the Song Family and Zhou Family, and couldn't help but marvel that every wealthy family in the East had this ingredient.
He was told it was dragon meat, which amazed him even more. Wasn't that Supernatural Being?
Christine and Hansolo initially thought this ingredient was indeed a good tonic, but later they gradually became suspicious. Was it really dragon meat?
Someone in the East slew a dragon, and then all the major conglomerates shared the spoils? The two were uneasy; why hadn't the other party provided any details when they inquired?
Soon, Christine finally found out the inside story: the dragon meat came from a place called the Health Preservation Hall in Su City, and was provided by Wang Xuan.
Then, when Christine was invited to a banquet at the Zhao Family, she ate some of the dragon meat delicacies and burst into tears on the spot!
"I'm going to kill him!" Hansolo growled inwardly.
"He is blaspheming God! How despicable! This extraordinary Eastern being is utterly disrespectful to the gods!" Christine wiped away her tears, not wanting to lose her composure at the dinner table.
The Agon Zaibatsu traveled westward and entered Su City.
Many people saw that the extraordinary Hansolo had a cold expression, his Golden-haired Woman was dazzling, and he exuded a divine aura; he appeared very powerful.
Christine's beautiful face was now cold, transforming her from a passionate and unrestrained Western beauty into a cold and aloof woman.
On the secret internet, many people are talking about it, believing that this is the prelude to war!
Even Zhou Yun and Zhong Cheng were rushing to contact Wang Xuan to tell him that most of the Western Supernatural Practitioner had arrived in Su City would be dissatisfied with him and would want to clash with him.
In an instant, all eyes were once again focused on Su City!
"The sword immortal of the East is about to face the challenge of the divine transcendent beings of the West. Are you all ready with your detectors?" Some people, not wanting to miss out on trouble, added fuel to the fire.
Wang Xuan was exasperated. What had he done to deserve this? He was supposed to be an expert in medicine, skilled in appraising antiques, and knowledgeable about conglomerates. Now, did he also have to keep up with current events and be ready to be a sparring partner at any moment? And he was supposed to be wary of Supernatural Practitioner?
Upon entering Su City, Hansolo and Christine headed straight for the Health Preservation Hall without any hesitation or delay, eager to see that person immediately.
Even from a distance, Wang Xuan sensed a strong killing intent. A man and a woman approached as if bathed in the Sun Divine Fire. The man carried a long spear on his back, which was surrounded by divine light!
Wang Xuan didn't want to engage in meaningless fighting. He had enough troubles lately and really didn't want to cause any more problems. He wasn't in the mood for anything like a sword immortal fighting against a Western superhuman.
"Gentlemen, I despise fighting and killing; it's not my area of expertise. It's a bit unfortunate that you've come here. Regardless of your reasons, I don't have time. I'm going to a gathering of extraordinary individuals tomorrow, and judging by the time, it's about time I set off."
Wang Xuan was very polite, appearing helpless, while simultaneously revealing a lot of information.
"A gathering of extraordinary individuals? Where is it? Can we participate?" Christine suppressed her grief and Killing Intent and asked quickly, as she was very interested in this kind of gathering.
The extraordinary Hansolo was also pulled by her arm, standing still for the moment, his body radiating golden light, without uttering a word.
"Didn't you receive an invitation?" Wang Xuan said, taking out a special "paper" made of Super Material and a little spiritual energy and showing it to them.
Then, he suddenly realized and said, "This is a gathering of extraordinary people from the East. Perhaps you Westerners have your own organizations and gatherings?"
Christine was deeply shaken. She had come with a special mission: to find Supernatural Practitioner in the East, to explore the structure of the mysterious organization here, and to see if it was related to the Transcendent Immortals. Now, she seemed to have uncovered some incredible secrets.
"Could you show us the invitation?" Christine asked, her attitude changing from aloof to gentle and smiling.
"This is not something you should touch with your hands. By the way, do you have similar organizations in the West?" Wang Xuan asked, gesturing to them with the invitation, but not handing it over.
In truth, he secretly wished that the two of them would just take it away. He himself didn't really want to go to Source Pool Mountain to participate in the Zhilán Dharma Assembly, but if he didn't go, he was afraid of being targeted.
Christine said, "I think the Transcendent Immortals of the East and the gods of our West might be the same group of people. Hmm, I'll have them look at the invitation and carefully sense that aura of power."
"Hurry and grab it!" Wang Xuan shouted in his heart.
These two men were surprisingly gentlemanly. They looked him over carefully, and then their attitude changed completely. They became unusually friendly and not only did they not start a fight with him, but they also chatted for a long time before politely taking their leave.
Wang Xuan was disappointed and sighed inwardly.
Late at night, in the Yuan Chu Hotel in Su City, in a suite decorated in a Western style and exuding magnificence, Christine was fiddling with a crystal mirror, on which various symbols flickered, reflecting the special invitation she had seen that day.
"Hansolo, quick, bring the invitation!" she cried urgently.
Hansolo immediately poured Super Material into the crystal mirror and held the spear, which was wreathed in divine light, in front of the mirror, releasing mysterious power.
Late at night, Wang Xuan was dozing off when he sensed something unusual beside him. The invitation he had specially taken out of the gourd was right next to him, and it was now moving and flickering faintly, about to disappear.
He didn't stop them, and remained "sound asleep," and then the invitation disappeared into thin air.
Soon, a faint light appeared, and a nearly lifelike replica emerged, Wang Xuan naturally ignored.
He was pondering that someone had gone to the meeting in his place, giving him an excuse, rather than indicating that he didn't want to go. Next, he needed to find a way to inform the Sun family that he had gone to Source Pool Mountain.
Of course, we should definitely visit his real body, but for now, it's best to observe from afar!
Wang Xuan was very excited and wanted to know what would happen there.
