No Pure Land Remains Under Heaven

Wisps of white mist swirl around the Huang Family Hall.

Huang Xinghai woke up shortly afterward. He had just fallen asleep and heard the words of the mysterious creature in his dream, and they had a brief conversation.

After he got up, he respectfully bowed in the ancestral hall and slowly withdrew.

He was over eighty years old, but his health was getting better and better, and he was full of energy. He muttered to himself, "In this day and age, there are still people like him who can open Inner Scenery Realm..."

"Father, how is it? Did the ancestors give any instructions?" Huang Jinglin walked over. He was about sixty years old, but he didn't look old at all. He was strong and had mastered the Old Arts.

Huang Xinghai nodded and told him to go and invite Wang Xuan next.

"He's declined three times already." Huang Jinglin thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Should I spar with Lin Mengliang? That way, he'll probably show up."

In the past, he and Professor Lin fought fiercely in the Old Earth. The two were masters of Old Arts with similar strength, but Professor Lin's chest was pierced by a firearm and he was covered in blood. Then he was punched by him, and a terrible fist hole appeared in his chest. It was a miracle that he survived.

"Don't do anything reckless at this stage!" Huang Xinghai suddenly turned around and glared at him.

"I know what I'm doing." Huang Jinglin nodded and said, "I see that Lin Mengliang is in good health, his old ailments have all disappeared, and his blood and energy are exceptionally vigorous. No matter how calm he seems, I know that he definitely wants to fight me."

After leaving the city, Wang Xuan crossed a mountain range to verify whether someone was trying to track his whereabouts at all times.

Now, the dark Golden Small Boat is filled with rich Super Material and can fly again, so he is very calm and can escape even if a warship locks on him.

He can even pilot Flying Boat into the sky to launch a counterattack!

Of course, he doesn't want to reveal too much right now; the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

He was vigilant and still felt a sense of crisis, wondering if some Supernatural Being was watching him.

In this era of the extinction of the supernatural, his performance was exceptional. Although he kept a low profile, he was forced to take action several times, and could no longer hide his abilities.

"Sure enough, there are Satellite Heavenly Eye in the sky and ubiquitous detectors in the dense forest, which are now more subtle and hidden."

He didn't believe it was all the Sun family's doing. He suspected more that a powerful conglomerate was collaborating with behind the Great Curtain, and that a mysterious being might now be targeting him.

After all, there have been quite a few cases of people appearing in dreams recently!

Many high-ranking members of various organizations have had contact with all sorts of creatures of unknown origin in their dreams, and it's hard to say what they talked about.

"I want to be kind to others, not to be your enemy. Can't we just live in peace and keep our own lives quiet?" he muttered to himself. If he was pushed to that point, he would have no choice but to take action!

In fact, if he had a choice, he would like to leave New Star temporarily and go to a Supernatural Planet, such as the Wizard World or the Wuxia Universe.

He wanted to avoid these monsters and extricate himself from the mire. The New Star and the Old Earth were no good places; the monsters would only increase.

"I fear that the world will be the same, with no pure land left." He frowned. Would gods descend upon the Wizard World, or martial arts saints descend to earth on the martial arts planet?

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. Where could he find a peaceful planet far removed from strife? It was difficult!

"If it can't be avoided, then we can only face it. Any returning creature will pay a terrible price. I don't know just how strong they are now, I really don't want to think twice about you!"

What can he do now? Of course, he should take advantage of this last period of peace to travel around and make house calls to Extend Life of a group of elderly people.

"Wang Xuan, where are you?" Old Chen called.

Some time ago, as an expert in the Supernatural Domain, he handled paranormal events for some large organizations and obtained some strange objects. After sorting through them recently, he discovered that they were unusual.

"I'm going to Tai City," Wang Xuan told him, explaining that he was going to the Zhou Family calls and help people with their health.

"Okay, see you in Tai City!" It had been a long time since they had met, Old Chen wanted to meet up with him.

Tai City, located in the eastern part of the Central Continent, is where the Zhou Family. The coastal city is quite prosperous, with many super cruise ships docked at the marina.

"Wang Xuan, you've finally arrived! Now that you're on my turf, I'll have to give you a proper welcome. How about we head out to sea first? We can visit my old man later." Zhou Yun greeted him warmly upon his arrival.

"I'm afraid that as soon as we set sail, we'll attract a few warships to bomb us, and that would endanger you," Wang Xuan said.

"No way, they've attacked you several times already, how dare they do this again?" Zhou Yun said, but he was clearly feeling uneasy.

"Old Chen is coming too."

"Okay, I'll arrange accommodations for you. Old Chen has a family now, so we won't take him out to sea, lest Old Chen Sister Guan," Zhou Yun said.

Wang Xuan was speechless. So Old Chen was such an incapable person when it came to tests? It was clearly because he was afraid of being bombed by warships.

"Stop making a fuss, just go to your family's estate with the temple. You know I'm a practitioner, and I've always admired the sages and virtuous men of the past."

Zhou Yun glanced at him and said, "You must have taken a fancy to the incense burner, the bell and other antiques in the temple, but do as you please, none of our family members can use them anyway. It's the people we brought back from the blessed land who have been eyeing these things."

The Zhou Family's manor has many large, ancient trees, and it is quite secluded.

"Wait, I'll call for help. There's a famous beauty filming in Tai City this time. If I tell her the Sword Immortal is here, she'll definitely come over and want to become your apprentice. Also, I know some beautiful women..." Zhou Yun dialed, preparing to call for help.

Wang Xuan quickly stopped him. This guy was indeed living a life of luxury and extravagance since he came back. His life was too colorful now. Was this his daily routine?

He has no time to deal with these things now; he's ready to fight the mysterious creature at any moment.

"Little Wang, you can't do this. You should enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful. You're already a legendary swordsman, why are you still acting like an ascetic?!" Zhou Yun advised and educated him.

"There's no way around it, my aesthetic sense has become a bit picky lately. All I see are either fox spirits or peerless celestial beings. It's hard to go from extravagance to simplicity."

Zhou Yun's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "Wow, Wang Xuan, brother, when are you going to take me to see those fairies? I think I want to start cultivating too!"

His grandfather arrived, his face initially beaming with smiles, but upon hearing what he said, he swung his cane at Zhou Yun, chasing him away.

Soon after, Old Chen arrived, looking quite energetic. He still had a buzz cut and hadn't grown his hair out because Guan Lin thought short hair looked better.

Old Zhou immediately left the room and arranged a place for them to chat.

As Chen Yongjie opened and closed his eyes, divine light shone forth, a result of a significant increase in his strength. As long as he didn't conceal it, a faint golden light would appear on his body.

He had achieved great success in cultivating Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and the Shakya True Scripture, and said, "Recently, I used medicinal soil, and my breakthrough was extremely rapid, so intense that I couldn't suppress it!"

He advanced from the Late Stage Life Soil realm to the Herb Gathering Realm. That piece of medicinal soil was left by a Bodhisattva and contained heavenly medicine ingredients, with extremely strong aftereffects!

"It's really a headache. I was trying to stabilize my cultivation level, but my cultivation is increasing every day. I've already reached the middle stage of herb gathering."

Then, he keenly sensed that Wang Xuan's undisguised aura had actually advanced to the Life Soil Realm.

"You also used medicinal soil?" Old Chen was surprised. Wang Xuan had two pieces of medicinal soil on him, both of which had a great origin and came from Transcendent Immortals!

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I need to stabilize it and explore the Life Earth before I can use it."

Old Chen was stunned and speechless for a while. Once Wang Xuan used the medicinal soil, he would most likely surpass him in terms of cultivation level. Although he was mentally prepared, this day had come too soon.

He originally wanted to say that he had also achieved a preliminary stage of cultivation and was able to travel ten miles in his spirit, which was probably stronger than that of the ancient patriarchs at this level.

Now, he swallowed his words, feeling that Wang Xuan must have improved significantly as well.

"Patriarch Chen was born at the wrong time. He was not born in an extraordinary and brilliant era to compete with legendary figures. Instead, he encountered a freak in this era of mythical decline!" he sighed.

Soon, he became serious again and warned Wang Xuan that he must hide his strength recently, as there was a high probability that the Transcendent Immortals had returned. He had dealt with many supernatural events recently and discovered various clues.

Chen Yongjie is currently keeping a low profile, his spiritual realm remains unchanged, and he uses the secret methods of Shakyamuni scriptures to conceal his true cultivation.

Wang Xuan nodded, but if he was already being closely watched, there was no point in trying to hide it.

After using his spiritual senses to scan the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Old Chen took out a cassock and told Wang Xuan that it was a genuine treasure he had obtained while helping people deal with strange events recently, and that it was extremely powerful.

Wang Xuan looked at him and said, "You practice various Buddhist techniques. If you were to put on a kasaya now, you would truly be a monk."

"Don't talk nonsense, I've already got the marriage certificate." Then he transmitted his thoughts, saying that there was a secret within the robe, Secret Language that hinted at an extraordinary destiny.

Wang Xuan was surprised and immediately became interested, saying, "Fate?"

"That's right. If we can find it, we can Transcendent Immortals in the future, because it will lay an unparalleled foundation for us!" Old Chen said solemnly.

Wang Xuan became serious. What era is this? Everything is drying up. Even the Inner Scenery Realm might dry up. What resources can still be of such great use?

"Behind the Great Curtain, on Spiritual Mountain, Shakyamuni Buddha painstakingly plucked the celestial medicine— the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus —in the Highest Grade Mental World."

Wang Xuan was shocked. How could such a thing be left in the mortal world? After picking the celestial medicine, did Shakyamuni himself not consume it?

Old Chen said, "Nine Tribulations Heavenly Medicine is naturally impossible to keep, but there are several seeds in the Lotus Seed that have fallen into the present world and will be left for the future Buddha."

According to the Secret Language, when Shakyamuni was picking the celestial medicine, a peerless powerhouse fought with him for it. The battle was fierce, and half of the Lotus Seed fell into the mortal world.

The robe contains a record that after the Lotus Seed fell into the mortal world, it was obtained by the Buddhist community and sealed in a reliquary beneath the Underground Palace of an ancient temple.

Chen Yongjie analyzed that it was said to be Heavenly Medicine Seed left for the future Buddha, but he felt that it might have been used for something else. Shakyamuni probably foresaw the end of the great curtain long ago!

"This is Heavenly Medicine Seed! If someone at the Herb Gathering Realm buried Heavenly Medicine Seed in their Life Soil, the foundation they would build would be unimaginable!"

Old Chen's eyes gleamed as he told Wang Xuan that the Old Earth had been hollowed out by the conglomerates, and if such a thing existed, it was likely in the home of the New Star Zaibatsu, and it wouldn't be hard to find.

Wang Xuan was also astonished. This was indeed an incredible stroke of luck. He was now thinking about how to improve himself in the face of an increasingly dangerous and terrifying environment.

"On New Star, there are only a few wealthy families that have rebuilt Buddhist temples or have Ancestral Court of Buddhism. Among them, the Zhou Family has an ancient temple here!" Old Chen told us.
