The Return of the Supernatural
Wang Xuan scanned the area with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and was certain that all six people were dead, their spiritual bodies reduced to ashes.
These are creatures that have been hunted down from Mysterious World, and they all surpass the Herb Gathering Realm. If any of them escape, it could cause a great disaster.
"You think you can run rampant here just because you followed me?" Wang Xuan muttered to himself, sitting at the bluestone table and fiddling with a small golden flag.
This thing is truly terrifying; it lives up to its reputation as a legendary weapon of destruction. He put it away.
"Is this bark from Peach Tree reliable?" Wang Xuan stared at the dark object on the bluestone table.
He held it in his hand; it felt heavy. He brought it to his nose and smelled it; the fresh scent of grass and trees reached his spirit. It was somewhere between a physical object and energy, somewhat strange.
Legend has it that the Peach Garden is located in an extremely advanced Mental World. Wang Xuan thought it was not a physical object, but now it seems that his guess was not entirely accurate.
"I hope it's the bark of the Heavenly Medicine Tree!" Wang Xuan put it into the Blessed Land Fragment.
If it truly originated from the Jade Pool, even the bark would likely possess some of the medicinal properties of celestial herbs, which would greatly benefit him once he reached the Herb Gathering Realm.
The old man also left behind a suit of armor specifically for protecting the spiritual body. In ancient times, high-level items were also called "Primordial Spirit Armor".
This is a real object; it looks like it's made of brass, but it's very light in the hand, almost weightless.
Some ancient texts record that this is a special kind of rare copper that can be used to forge spiritual armor to protect the primordial spirit.
"Interesting." Wang Xuan's expression changed. In that world, both spiritual entities and physical objects could exist; it was not a void of pure energy.
He carefully sensed it and found that the Secret Copper Soul Armor was extraordinary. In addition to its defensive capabilities, it could also temporarily enhance Mental Power!
"What a wonderful piece of equipment!" he exclaimed, "It's far superior to the tattered, Dark Red Armor I'm wearing."
Recently, when he was daydreaming, he was practically "naked," but now he has a very nice set of "clothes."
Mystic Bronze is rare. This so-called armor is actually just a vest and trousers, with his arms, calves, and head still exposed.
Wang Xuan's spirit left his body, wanting to experience the benefits of the Secret Copper Soul Armor. With a whoosh, he flew away, his flight speed increasing significantly, becoming even faster, and he also traveled a greater distance from his physical body!
"Very good!" Wang Xuan nodded, very satisfied.
The Silver Armor left behind by the five soldiers also protected the Soul Body and could deploy light wings, but this type of armor was inferior to the Secret Copper Soul Armor.
Of course, this is relative; in fact, these are all quite remarkable treasures.
During his journey of discovery, Wang Xuan gained a great deal: three drops of wine increased his mental strength by one-tenth, and he also Immortal Peach Bark, mental armor, and witnessed a Mysterious World.
He had a suspicion in his mind, and if he went a few more times, he could probably verify some things.
"Lighting the lamp, searching for the path, I unexpectedly stepped into such a world!"
Wang Xuan pondered that this experience was actually quite bizarre. How did he get through it? He traveled far away in the mist rising from the Earth of Fate and entered a new world.
"No wonder they say that the Earth of Fate is the Origin of All Laws, the place where the extraordinary stand, and where everything begins. There is indeed some truth to that!" Wang Xuan exclaimed.
The Earth element resides within his body, but its specific location cannot be found within his internal organs and flesh.
The mist it emits extends into the distance in the void, leading into a strange world from which spiritual entities can be brought out, as well as real objects!
"This is not simple!" Wang Xuan pondered for a long time.
But he can't go in now; he'd be in trouble if he ran into a gun. He needs to lay low for a while.
He had all sorts of doubts and speculations about that world, but unfortunately, he failed to enter the Bright Zone this time and inexplicably got involved in the graveyard black market.
"There is no Super Material in the dark and desolate Village Town. The peaceful giant city and the world behind it probably contain a rich amount of Supernatural Factor, otherwise it would not be enough to support those people's cultivation."
Wang Xuan was quite looking forward to it and had a strong desire to explore.
"I wasn't really fishing this time; you guys insisted on chasing me out here," Wang Xuan muttered to himself.
In the days that followed, he calmly studied various scriptures and contemplated the path ahead.
Ten days later, he discovered that he didn't have much Super Material left in his body.
Wang Xuan was lost in thought. He had been hiding in the deep forest for more than two months and had no idea what was happening in the outside world. He missed the Daoist temples and Buddhist monasteries he had visited.
"The so-called 'transcendent decay after three years' was mentioned three or four months ago. Strictly speaking, there are still more than two years left."
Wang Xuan was warned that he must seize the time and not waste it!
He suspected that something might have happened in the two months he was away, and all sorts of strange and monstrous things had gradually emerged.
He wished to hide underwater, to lie in seclusion, to observe the chaos of the world from afar and watch the performances of all sides. Unfortunately, he now lacked the Super Material.
Nearly three months have passed, and some things have indeed happened in the outside world. The extraordinary is approaching, and mythology is casting a hazy shadow from historical legends.
In some conglomerates, unspeakable changes have occurred. Among the top echelons, some have become very deep and reserved, some have shown unusual signs, and some have hidden worries.
It's all because their secret vault occasionally makes some noises, certain treasures glow, revive, automatically chime softly, and exhibit some strange changes.
Of course, what made them most uneasy was that a key figure was approached and briefly spoken to while in a deep sleep.
The Sun family has been keeping a low profile lately, refraining from any rash actions. Some of their members have moved into the mothership, seemingly anticipating something.
On the New Star, some Daoist temples and Thousand-Year Ancient Temple have recently become particularly efficacious, faintly emitting Mist Silk that make people want to pay their respects and offer incense.
"I also had a dream last night. The person said that he was our ancestor and that he was going to send someone back..." someone said solemnly.
Some people are worried and are seeking advice from professionals.
Some remained calm, secretly accepting the extraordinary and engaging in private conversations, even meeting in dreams, without fear.
Recently, various sacred artifacts have been making loud noises and ancient temples have been emitting light. These are not surprising, as if there is Supernatural Power at work, interfering with the Real World.
Old Chen has been very busy lately. As a senior figure and top expert in the field, he has been invited by many companies to solve various extraordinary problems.
For example, in the home of a tycoon, an ancient painting hangs on the wall. Late at night, it seems as if someone walks out, and a woman is seen singing and dancing lightly, which is quite unsettling.
As an exceptional expert, Old Chen was quickly summoned to conduct an investigation and analysis.
For example, in a large organization, a newborn in the home of a core member was unusually precocious and seemed abnormal, so they asked Old Chen to take a look.
The Sun family has been too busy to target him lately. Zhou Chong's attack on the Sun family last time had given them quite a shock. They are now gathering strength and working closely with the Agon Zaibatsu to develop a new type of warship.
"Do you think Great-Grandpa is awake or not? I feel like he moved around. One night I thought I saw his room glowing." Zhong Cheng muttered.
Finally, he sighed, "What a pity for Old Wang. He was blown up by those damned Sun family. Otherwise, we could have let him come and see what's going on."
Zhong Qing, pure and beautiful, said, "Wang Xuan may not be dead. Look at Chen Yongjie, he's not in a hurry to seek revenge on the Sun family, which says something."
New Star September, the siblings had started school. They hadn't graduated yet, but they still spent most of their time at home, mainly because they were feeling uneasy.
"But he has been missing for almost three months, and even the Sun family has confirmed that he is dead. At the last gathering, Sun Yichen got drunk and let it slip, coldly telling us that Wang Xuan's body has not been found."
He added, sighing, "Old Wang, I'm so sorry, I still owe you a scripture. Next time I'll burn you a real photo album!"
Then, he was "educated" by Zhong Qing!
Recently, the Huang Family has been very active, claiming to be the orthodox practitioners of Old Arts. Legend has it that in ancient times, several people from the family ascended to Ascension to Immortality.
They are a family with a secret lineage, and they have indeed left behind many ancient artifacts that have survived to this day. Recently, some of their artifacts have been revived, which has boosted their confidence.
Even more mysterious voices appeared, conversing with the elders of the clan!
"Our ancestors have manifested their divine power and are about to return!" An old man could not hide his excitement. Mysterious Matter permeated the Huang Family hall, and unusual phenomena appeared.
"Cultivating in the ancestral hall has been surprisingly effective, as if I have returned to the ancient extraordinary era recorded in my family's history. I... am about to break through!"
Some members of the Huang Family were shocked, and recently the atmosphere of cultivation has become intense, with everyone working very hard.
"Speaking of which, a large number of powerful individuals followed the conglomerates into deep space back then and never returned, which is truly a pity. Recently, I heard that someone is trying to find a way to bring them back. I hope those people are still alive, after all, there are several experts from our family among them!"
Recently, several other Old Arts families have also shown similar signs of unusual activity.
In Su City, at Kaiyuan University, Qin Cheng was full of confidence. He was about to face off against a disciple trained by the Huang Family, and he thought it was no big deal.
"Professor Lin, I'll help you get revenge. They left a hole in your chest back then. I won't bully people; I'll defeat them normally and sweep them away!"
Then he sighed and said, "Old Wang, is he really dead? I hope he's still alive!"
"Let bygones be bygones. This time, let's stop here and be mindful of our words." Professor Lin sighed softly and said, "I hope Wang Xuan is alright. The resurgence of supernatural powers was originally a rare opportunity for him."
In fact, not only acquaintances, but also people on various platforms, including the Secret Network, have been mentioning Wang Xuan from time to time over the past three months.
"I've heard that various supernatural events have occurred recently, and some people say that myths have reappeared. However, the sword immortal has died, which is a pity."
"Now it seems that other extraordinary individuals have shown their tracks. Everyone is saying that a great era has arrived. It's a pity that we will never see the sword immortals' flying swords soaring into the sky again."
Some people did feel sorry for Wang Xuan's early death, but others were just looking for a good show and wanted to see the battle where sword light tore through mechs and spaceships.
Three days later, the two spaceships returned from deep space, and the Sun family brought back a group of people, causing a sensation!
Upon learning of this, various conglomerates sprang into action, with some spaceships and warships setting sail into deep space!
On the same day, someone claimed with certainty that while exploring deep in the mountains, they saw a fox spirit, a white fox that transformed into a beautiful woman and left from a ruin.
The following day, someone else claimed to have seen someone emerge from the bottom of a large lake in the wild, disappearing in a flash.
Upon hearing this news, Old Chen sighed, "The world is about to change!"
