This is a long chapter.

There were three cracked bones on the ground, devoid of vitality—their immortal life was nearing decay. If they were discovered in the future, who would imagine that they had once become immortals? In the end, they were nothing more than mortals, returning to the earth!

"From ancient times to the present, this mortal world has been full of splendor, with great eras rising and falling, and heroes emerging from among ordinary people. After prosperity comes even greater glory. Yet you, with your extraordinary talents, chose to cultivate yourselves, living alone in the deep mountains. How many brilliances have you missed, how many regrets have you had in your lives? In the end, it's all for nothing."

Wang Xuan shook his head, thinking about the fate of these people. Some were pitiful, and some were tragic. He used some soil and stones to bury the withered bones in the mountain.

"But many others still followed this almost ethereal path, and so did I, joining during this period of transcendental collapse, which is somewhat hopeless."

Wang Xuan smiled, making a self-deprecating remark.

Perhaps, those who seek immortality and the Dao initially stem from childhood dreams of escaping birth, aging, sickness, and death, soaring through the heavens with a sword, and roaming the Land of Myth, leaving their footprints in places like the Moon Palace, the Jade Pool, the Mount Buzhou, the Thunder Pool Heavenly Court, the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, and the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond the mortal world.

Despite the fact that many great curtains have been dimmed and many immortal lands have been destroyed, those who embark on this path still have a strong conviction and want to continue walking it.

Even though the extraordinary collapsed quickly, those people still struggled to survive, harboring hope that the myth still had a glimmer of hope and could be recreated.

Some ambitious individuals even aspire to create a new world, interpret the origin, become Buddhas and ancestors, and thereby transcend all others.

"Primordial species, the Nine Heavens Immortal Land, the Spiritual Mountain Buddhist Kingdom—will they ultimately reappear with life? Or will the Jade Pool dry up, the grotto heavens shatter, turning into a thousand miles of lonely graves, utterly desolate? We'll see in a year."

Wang Xuan returned to the city, and the very next day, Qian An prepared a small private spaceship for him and quietly arranged for him to board and leave the New Star.

However, the result was terrifying. With a loud bang, the private spaceship exploded and disintegrated in outer space, with extremely bright energy flames.

Qian An and Wang Xuan looked at each other in bewilderment. They were both hiding in the Qian Family home, secretly monitoring the situation. This time, no one boarded the ship, only two lifelike robots.

"They've got their eyes on me, trying to lock me down in the New Star!" Wang Xuan's eyes flashed coldly; the Transcendent Immortals were watching him.

"I'll go check and see which traitor leaked the information!" Qian An was furious.

"I suspect their minds have been controlled. Let me handle this," Wang Xuan said. Sure enough, someone's thoughts were temporarily read and they were then hypnotized.

Wang Xuan returned to Su City, seething with anger. The creatures that had returned from the Great Curtain were incredibly arrogant, daring to target him like this.

"Don't let me find your place, or I'll open blind boxes one by one, collect your fortunes, and strip you of your immortal lives."

Wang Xuan was filled with murderous intent, waiting to open the "Immortal Bone Can". He must not discover the enemy's whereabouts. Once he finds them, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be safe!

Now that his cultivation has improved and he has two pieces of medicinal soil on him, he plans to stabilize them a little before using this sacred substance to further enhance his strength.

If Old Chen finds the seed of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus that Shakyamuni painstakingly plucked in the Highest Grade Mental World, then their strength will definitely increase!

If things go smoothly in the near future, his cultivation will continue to improve, which will allow him to face the increasingly restless beings behind the Great Curtain.

"Wang Xuan, come to my house sometime. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's have some drinks and admire your photo album." Zhong Cheng called, inviting Wang Xuan to his home.

He spoke rather cryptically, his original intention being to give him a peerless scripture and let him into Old Zhong's study to read Daoist school supreme Daoist classic, the Five-Colored Jade Book, as well as another Pre-Qin Golden Bamboo Slips. However, he was afraid of being overheard, so he used coded language.

The main reason is that the Zhong family is really leaving. The Primordial Plan is almost complete, and they are about to make a great retreat to deep space. This is also their final farewell!

However, Wang Xuan was angry and failed to understand his good intentions, thinking that he really wanted to see Little Zhong's photo album.

"I'm going to open the blind boxes in a few days. No rush. I'll bring some special canned goods to you to help you build your foundation. Whether you can become extraordinary in the future depends on yourselves."

"Wow, really? Old Wang, at this moment I'm willing to call you brother-in-law. Come back and stay with us, don't run around!" Zhong Cheng shouted excitedly.

He almost let slip that, in any case, no one could know that the Zhong family was going to run away, and he sincerely hoped that Wang Xuan would leave with them.

As for anyone trying to stop us? Are you kidding me? Do you think the Zhong family's warship fleet is a pushover? Anyone who dares to stop us will be met with saturation fire!

"Old Wang, come over here quickly, I'm waiting for you. Let's prepare to create a new world and reshape the universe!" Zhong Cheng said. The Zhong family's way out is a beautiful planet, which was discovered many years ago.

Wang Xuan thought to himself, "I'm worrying about how to reopen the Mythological World, and you, who aren't even an extraordinary being, have such thoughts? You're a bit too ambitious!"

For the next two days, Wang Xuan, carrying the God Slaying Banner and exuding murderous intent, searched everywhere for Immortal Bone Can, preparing to make his move.

As for the true bones in temples and Daoist monasteries, he did not provoke them, and had no grudges against them. He always felt that it would be too cruel to simply destroy them.

However, he also knew that the world of cultivation was extremely cruel, and sometimes one had to be ruthless.

"I can't get over that mental hurdle," he shook his head.

Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't want to be an enemy of the world. If he really wants to tear apart the body, all the living beings behind the Great Curtain will fight him to the death.

He was studying the Afterbirth Mark on his body. What a damn immortal fetus! Die! He would never allow anyone to use his body to rebuild their foundation for immortality.

He tried to sense that strange energy, preparing to find the source and unleash a large immortal bone.

Without a doubt, anyone who can cultivate this kind of technique is incredibly powerful, and the fact that they are even stealing life essence from the true bones of other immortals is terrifying!

Lately, the New Star been changing every day, and no one knows how many people have come from behind the Great Curtain. In any case, strange phenomena are constantly occurring in various places.

Some cities couldn't take it anymore and started using artillery to disperse the rain clouds; otherwise, with torrential rain every day, the whole city would get moldy.

People were astonished to find that even without clouds and fog, lightning was still flashing in the sky. News spread that this was Supernatural Life form crossing boundaries.

For ordinary people, aside from the bad weather, there's not much else to it. But for large organizations, the situation is quite complicated, as they've been in constant contact with the Transcendent Immortals recently.

For example, the Qin Family, a super-rich conglomerate, once fought against the powerful expert at the New Moon, but now they are forced to welcome visiting guests and cannot afford to turn against them.

Moreover, Qin Hong was personally receiving him this time, which gave him a strange feeling. He was a proponent of war, but now he was going to have a close "discussion" with the beings behind the Great Curtain.

He wore several jade pendants around his neck to conceal his thoughts, and he always kept them near his home's secret vault, using these Great Killer Weapons to suppress all sides and prevent others from probing his mind or hypnotizing him.

In fact, the Qin Family was also preparing to flee. They couldn't take it anymore because of the secret vault, which had attracted the attention of countless monsters.

Of course, there was another thing that attracted the Transcendent Immortals: the Qin Family's genetic technology, Bodhisattva super-body, and so on, which greatly interested the beings behind the Great Curtain.

The Transcendent Immortals behind the Great Curtain wanted to use this technology to accelerate bone growth and flesh development, so they could reshape their true forms as soon as possible.

Some of the beings responsible for communicating with Qin Hong have real bodies, not ethereal spirits, which is quite terrifying!

In fact, the beings that have recently come from behind the Great Curtain have different life forms: some are primordial spirits, some are souls with true blood, some are partial remains, and some have retained most of their bodies.

Only those beings whose incomplete primordial spirits return must be true immortals, who need to find their true bones in the mortal world to reshape their True Self.

Other forms of life have not transcended tribulation to become immortals; they are descendants of Transcendent Immortals, including demons of the sixty-fourth generation and immortals of the seventy-second generation. The first generation was too powerful, and many of these descendants were originally below the Great Realm the Carefree Journey, while others were at the Free and Unfettered level. For them, crossing realms is relatively easy.

As long as their clan supports them and powerful Transcendent Immortals provide protection, they can preserve most of their bodies and repair them in the mortal world using secret techniques and medicines they brought with them.

The Old Testament's Immortal Locking Technique targets ancient powerful beings, while its constraints on their descendants and the weaker indigenous beings behind the Great Curtain are relatively weaker.

Therefore, in the past two days, there have been intact living beings making contact with various families, which are in true flesh and blood form!

For example, among the people Qin Hong met today, besides several exceptionally good-looking men and women, there were also people with pointed faces and monkey-like features. Qin Hong eventually learned that one of them might be a Great Immortal Huang!

Qin Hong cursed his bad luck inwardly!

In the past two days, he had really opened his eyes to see the descendants of immortals, with stunning appearance and extraordinary temperament, somewhat like the fairies in the paintings.

At the same time, he also encountered some strange creatures, such as weasel spirits, tiger spirits, and Fox Spirit. Some were truly ugly, while others were incredibly alluring, charming and captivating, almost causing Qin Hong, who was used to seeing all kinds of people, to lose his composure.

True peerless powerhouses, even those who haven't crossed realms, all want to preserve their perfect Dao Fruit and return in order to withstand the greatest calamity when the extraordinary are completely wiped out in the future!

Right now, these top-tier powerhouses are all waiting for their chance!

The top executives of the conglomerates and various organizations were shocked and somewhat unaccustomed to the fact that living, breathing people had emerged from behind the Great Curtain and were having harmonious conversations and communications with them. This left them with mixed feelings and a strange feeling.

"To fight or not to fight? If we don't fight them, let's just take the spaceship and run away, leaving everything to them!" Towards the end, even Qin Hong couldn't take it anymore and felt panicked.

He was somewhat confused; how had things suddenly changed? All sorts of creatures kept appearing, seeking to negotiate with them.

Sometimes, he really wanted to use a super energy cannon to wipe them all out, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to wipe them all out and that someone would end up killing the entire Qin Family instead.

Even Qin Hongyuan, the true decision-maker, who had initially ordered Qin Hong to bombard the supreme immortals on the moon, is now somewhat dumbfounded and unable to withstand the pressure.

Old Qin sighed, "If it really doesn't work out, I might as well just run away and quit. I feel like I can't stay at New Star anymore!"

The pressure on each family was immense. These creatures, who had returned from behind the Great Curtain, were highly adaptable and quickly mastered the rules of modern life for these rising New Star.

These people change every day. At first, they were dressed in ancient clothes, but now some are in suits and ties, some are in Zhongshan suits, some are dressed in fairy-like outfits with sundresses, and some are sexy and charming with long legs in hot pants... It's hard to tell whether they are modern people or people behind the Great Curtain.

These people are merely demons of the 10th generation and immortals of the 72nd generation; the old demons have not yet appeared, and the peerless true immortals are nowhere to be seen.

"Hey bro, you can't do it like that..."

Even someone like Zhou Yun, who has seen countless battles and is used to big scenes, found it hard to handle. When negotiating with the other party, he would occasionally encounter Demoness, which gave him a headache.

All the major organizations were extremely vigilant and uncertain. Many people were considering leaving the New Star and returning in three years!

These days, all the well-known Life Science Research Institute and gene technology companies have had their doors knocked down by the beings behind the Great Curtain, who are eager for cooperation!

In addition, the secret vaults of the major financial groups are being closely monitored. Judging from the situation, once the financial groups withdraw, those places will immediately be occupied by a large number of beings who will establish religions and evolve into holy sites!

"Brother Sun, that Great Tripod was left to me by my ancestors."

"Brother Qin, to be honest, the Golden Tree in your secret vault was personally crafted by my ancestor. It was left in the mortal realm to protect our lineage."

At this stage, people have already started asking for those rare treasures.

So far, the creatures that have returned from behind the Great Curtain are all very friendly, communicating and interacting with each other in the manner of New Star humans, without showing any hostility.

However, the elders of each sect were worried, fearing that once they had fully integrated into the New Star and their strength had recovered sufficiently, they might suddenly turn against them.

No one can predict what the future holds. We are currently in a period of equilibrium, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

These past two days, Zhong Cheng has been somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of visitors, including one fairy who even put pressure on her sister.

Zhong Qing has always been confident in her appearance. The woman who came to her door and called herself Zhou Shiqian was extremely stunning. Her face was exceptionally beautiful and flawless. Most importantly, she had an ethereal aura, with a faint white mist occasionally swirling around her.

Zhong Qing felt that she could match the other person in terms of appearance, but she really didn't have that Immortal Dao aura. She longed to become an extraordinary person.

As for negotiations and communication, she handled them with ease. However, she found that the other party quickly integrated into modern society, calling her "sister" and "best friend," becoming more and more like a modern person, and was not easy to deal with.

"Old Wang, where are you? There's been some trouble lately, with demons and immortals causing a ruckus. A formidable character has come to our house, she's incredibly friendly, she's even become my sister's best friend, her name is Zhou Shiqian, and she seems to be one of the most powerful beings who crossed over from another realm, a descendant of Transcendent Immortals!"

Zhong Cheng told Wang Xuan to come over as soon as possible, because in just two days, the human world seemed to have changed completely. Immortals and mortals were chatting happily, and Demonic Creatures and Monsters appeared at the Zhong family's house every day.

"Old Wang, this is a fairy, and most importantly, she's quite the smooth talker. My sister said she's extremely difficult to deal with. By the way, this woman has asked us about you several times, seeming very interested, but we don't know what she's up to. However, this woman has an extremely powerful background; she seems to be a descendant of some peerless expert!"

Wang Xuan was speechless. Even Zhong Cheng knew that the person behind the Great Curtain was a peerless expert.

Now, the New Star are indeed like this, the descendants of the Transcendent Immortals have all appeared, the legends have become reality, the extraordinary is no longer mysterious, Fox Spirit, fairies, and Daoist masters have all appeared, making the world exceptionally enchanting.

"Old Wang, give us some feedback. Do you want to see her? Come and take a look."

"I won't watch it for now. I'm afraid I'll become a fairy killer," Wang Xuan shook his head.

"Wow, Old Wang, I never thought you were this kind of person. You're such a womanizer! How can I feel comfortable trying to set you up with my sister like this!"

"What are you thinking? I really mean it when I kill her. Of course, if she's a good person, then I won't really kill her," Wang Xuan said.

"Old Wang, you've been exposed!" Zhong Cheng shouted.

Wang Xuan told him to gather more information about behind the Great Curtain. He discovered that although the situation was complicated by the arrival of so many descendants of Transcendent Immortals, it could also accelerate the understanding of the secrets on the other side.

Then, he began carrying the God Slaying Banner and continued searching for the Immortal Bone Can. Guided by the red marks on his body, he lurked in certain areas of the New Star, determined to find it.

"Wang Xuan, Euler, Mida!" Old Chen contacted Wang Xuan and told him that there was progress regarding the Heavenly Medicine Seed harvested from the Highest Mental World.

Since it is Heavenly Medicine Seed collected by Shakyamuni, it is best to use Shakyamuni's rare treasures to trigger it.

He has his eye on the Qin Family's Snow White Conch, and wants to borrow or exchange it.

"The situation is too complicated. All sorts of Demonic Creatures and Monsters have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. I need to get my hands on this top-tier treasure as soon as possible," Chen Yongjie whispered.

Wang Xuan expressed his support, saying that the world was becoming increasingly chaotic, and Old Chen should have a treasure powerful enough to suppress the local strife.

In fact, even Wang Xuan was preparing to take action again to see if there were any peerless treasures. He couldn't just stand by and watch as the major financial groups turned the place into a sacred site and had their secret vaults divided up.

"Old Chen, go ahead and make your move. I'm not far from the Qin Family now and can provide support at any time. You find the Heavenly Medicine Seed, and I'll find the Immortal Bone Can. When we combine our good fortune, we'll definitely be able to quickly increase our strength and have no fear of those beings returning from behind the Great Curtain!"
