Who Was Burning Paper Beyond the Night Curtain

The Nurturing Life Furnace, simple and natural, carrying a hazy Light Mist, flew out from the Inner Scenery Realm that is highly related to the spirit and entered the Real World.

"You're finally out," Wang Xuan exclaimed. This artifact had occupied his Inner Scenery Realm for a long time and had once blocked him from the outside.

However, his heart immediately jumped into his throat. Although the Furnace Body was not large, it was as heavy as a mountain, and he had never been able to move it before.

A few months ago, Earth Immortal City, a single furnace lid flying off killed a group of the Herb Gathering Realm cultivators!

"My life-giving soil!" He feared that the Furnace Body would crush his life-giving soil into pieces, and if the place where all laws originated was destroyed, he would also suffer a tragedy.

Fortunately, after the Nurturing Life Furnace fell in, it was quiet and did not cause a collapse. The life-sustaining earth seemed to be outside the Real World.

Ignoring the Inner Scenery Realm, Wang Xuan plunged into the life soil with a whoosh to observe the situation. The furnace, shrouded in celestial mist, stood like a stabilizing pillar in the center of the life soil.

He was unaware that something bad was about to happen here. On the contrary, he felt that if the Earth element was permanently present, it would be more solid and enduring.

Furthermore, he quickly sensed an unusual aura; the vitality within the life-giving soil had increased, and faint Mist Silk emanated from the Furnace Body, nourishing the main root of the Heavenly Medicine not far away!

Wang Xuan was quite unsettled. He thought of the legend about this furnace, which could be used to gather herbs and nurture them, thus improving their quality.

Once the Nurturing Life Furnace is brought in, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the main root planted in the life soil, promoting its growth and even causing it to transform.

"It would be best if there were no unexpected events!" Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Having the Nurturing Life Furnace guarding the life soil was of great benefit.

Meanwhile, he wondered what exactly had caused it to leave the Inner Scenery Realm. Had the mythology accelerated its decay, and new troubles arisen?

Wang Xuan's spirit departed and immediately sensed the abnormality of the "Immortal Bone Can." The Inner Scenery Realm it corresponded to was depleting, collapsing, and about to be destroyed.

Chen Yongjie and Zhong Yong were struggling to get the person out, feeling like they were about to vomit blood. A great opportunity was about to turn into a tragedy.

Wang Xuan quickly joined in, guiding Zhong Qing, Professor Lin, and others into his Inner Scenery Realm.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death! A world collapsed. Now I finally know what the apocalypse is. It's like a life-bearing planet suddenly disintegrating, and everyone is going to die. There's no way to escape."

Qin Cheng was still shaken. An entire Inner Scenery Realm had collapsed, giving people an overwhelming sense of despair in that instant.

"Where am I? I feel like I've ascended to immortality. Is it snowing here? Mysterious Factor is falling on me without me even having to guide it?!"

Zhong Cheng stood there in a daze, reaching out to catch the Mysterious Matter. He looked up at the sky with an expression of disbelief.

"The ebb of the supernatural, the decaying landscape of the Inner Scenery Realm corresponds to the myth, meaning that everything is dying, and even the Transcendent Immortals will become mortals. Yet here... life is thriving."

Old Zhong spoke, startling him. He stood there looking up at the sky. In this quiet place, there was no sound, only the Super Material falling like goose feathers and accumulating on the ground.

He looked at Wang Xuan, feeling incredulous. What was going on?

Old Zhong, being who he was, naturally guessed immediately that this was Wang Xuan's Inner Scenery Realm, something that certain factions behind the Great Curtain were eyeing.

He had already recovered and had been paying attention to things outside, such as the emergence of the Golden Peak Mountain curtain, the Transcendent Immortals' desire to hunt Wang Xuan, and their subsequent crossing of realms—all of which he was aware of.

He just hadn't expected this place to be so special!

Old Zhong was torn between two intense thoughts. For a moment, he even considered staying and working with Wang Xuan to benefit from the inner light of the universe. But then he calmly shook his head, realizing he still had to run away.

Some things may be tempting, but they are also deadly and extremely dangerous. None of the peerless experts among the Transcendent Immortals have appeared yet. Once such a person returns, it is estimated that no one can stop him.

"You need to be careful," Old Zhong said. He believed that given the secret Wang Xuan possessed, it was inevitable that he would be targeted by a peerless expert.

There will be all sorts of storms and turmoil. If you get involved with Wang Xuan or stay by his side, you'll probably be torn to dust.

"It's like we've come from one world to another. Could this be considered a kind of immortality?" Zhong Qing also showed a strange expression.

The Inner Scenery Realm that can only be entered by the spirit is truly wondrous. The spirit traverses two realms, arriving from a dead land into a new world of life.

Without wasting any time, everyone resumed their cultivation, especially since this place was quite different and particularly precious after the arrival of the Exhausted Era.

Wang Xuan walked to the innermost part, sat down cross-legged. Now that he had truly stepped into the Herb Gathering Realm, he really needed to consider his future path. This was a real problem: how to Path Setting?

Here, time seems to flow freely, giving everyone ample time to reflect, cultivate themselves, and understand their own existence.

Externally, their physical bodies are also being nourished. Super Material spreads and enters their bodies, causing them to change and rapidly improving their physical condition.

If you observe closely, you can see that they are constantly eliminating toxins, and everyone has a strong odor, even the beauty-conscious Zhong Qing.

Their metabolism is terrifyingly fast, their hearts are pounding like drums, and everyone seems to have arrived at a Special Time Node all things are competing, undergoing strange evolution.

Mysterious Factor enter, improving their physical characteristics, lengthening telomeres, and significantly extending their lifespan. Tiny, invisible "impurities" are also expelled in large quantities.

Wang Xuan sat in meditation, various scriptures appearing in his mind. In an era where all laws were fading away, he hoped to find his own path.

He then began studying the Five-Colored Jade Book, but frowned, feeling that he really couldn't comprehend it for the time being; it was obscure and difficult to understand, and he even felt that there were errors in it.

Finally, he chose the golden bamboo slip. After all, he had mastered one before, and he had to decipher the one he obtained from Old Zhong's family.

In this extraordinary era, he sought a way out, or even a way to survive, from the Supreme Scriptures.

One year, two years, three years...

Inside the Inner Scenery Realm, Wang Xuan felt as if seven years had passed.

Of course, this is an illusion of mental perception.

Wang Xuan remained seated, studying the Golden Bamboo Slip from the Old Zhong family.

While others would get up every now and then, he was completely absorbed in the scripture, his mind completely focused, as if he were cut off from the outside world.

He couldn't understand the words on the bamboo slips, but he captured their true meaning through spiritual resonance. This also means that the scriptures are very idealistic, and these spiritual imprints are like a vast world that is difficult to describe or explain in words.

Wang Xuan spent seven years walking and contemplating in the world of this scripture, and finally gradually broke through the fog to see the essence of this scripture.

"No wonder I felt out of place; this is completely different from the other bamboo slips."

The Golden Bamboo Slip he obtained from the Sun family focused on combat, emphasizing starting with spiritual Root Method and physical practice, using the body to elevate the spirit.

However, the Zhong family's version is completely different; it's practically another system, making one wonder if it's from a completely different era. This version is about magic and Daoist arts.

It explains from the source the application of various extraordinary substances, analyzes their essence, and uses the spirit to arrange those factors to construct the most reasonable "formula" and maximize the supernatural power.

It delves into the various established patterns, which are then elevated and continuously deduced, naturally giving rise to some extremely terrifying models!

This means that the formation of spells and the development of supernatural powers are all the result of perfecting various models to form a terrifying framework. This path is indeed very powerful and extremely frightening.

This bamboo scroll constructs various extraordinary patterns through spiritual means, trains the spirit, and ultimately elevates the physical body along with the spirit.

"This is the process of the evolution and formation of the Daoist arts!" Wang Xuan sighed. These twenty-seven bamboo slips are incredibly powerful and must be thoroughly understood!

However, since the Super Material will eventually fade away, will this scripture still have any use?

"Could we use other Energy Substance to replace those extraordinary substances?" Wang Xuan pondered, estimating it would be difficult and he shouldn't have too much hope.

"Ultimately, if mythology disappears, will all scriptures become invalid?" He sighed softly, realizing that no matter how he went around in circles, he couldn't escape this predicament.

Is it possible to pin our hopes on his Inner Scenery Realm remaining vibrant forever? We can't take that too seriously. The darkest hour hasn't come yet. What if his Inner Scenery Realm also withers away when that day arrives? That's entirely possible.

Just like the peerless powerhouse in the grand scheme of things, who is still incredibly powerful now, but is predicted to fall in the future and even become a mortal.

"I must not be discouraged. No matter what, I must keep going. Only by basing myself on the Supreme Scriptures my predecessors can I find a better way out!"

This scripture is indeed mysterious, profound, and so unique in its approach that he seriously suspects that the legendary four Golden Bamboo Slip are not from the same era.

In fact, Xu Fu, the Great Daoist Master and Ferryman, also said that the stone tablet scriptures and the Golden Bamboo Slip were very special and their origins were unknown.

"Arranging Super Material factors, according to the bamboo slips, is very difficult because it requires exploration and constant experimentation, and it takes a lot of time, but I seem to be able to do it faster!"

Wang Xuan suddenly realized that having Spiritual Heavenly Eye didn't have to be so complicated; he could clearly see through all sorts of factors without much trouble.

"Oh, it is also recorded in the scriptures that this path is suitable for people with rare and extraordinary Divine Eye, otherwise it will be very difficult to move forward."

Clearly, he possesses all the rare elements mentioned in the bamboo slips!

Wang Xuan studied bamboo slips here, arranged Mysterious Factor, attempted to arrange Super Material particles, and constructed a simple model of magic.

Not long after, his spirit briefly returned to his body. He flicked his finger at the courtyard outside the room, and a ball of fire flew out, landing in the fishpond. With a whoosh, water vapor rose up, burning everything away, and the fishpond melted into a pool of lava.

At his level, he could already unleash lightning and true fire, which were supernatural instincts. But now, the firelight he arranged was even more powerful and consumed less Mysterious Factor!

"Incredible!" Wang Xuan was stunned, his mind greatly shaken. This meant that Super Material could be used more rationally, and it also meant an increase in his strength at the same level.

He read various scriptures, which recorded many techniques and supernatural powers. These were actually manifestations of the powerful structure formed by combining Super Material.

"The techniques and supernatural abilities left by our predecessors are standard models for constructing Supernatural Factor, which I can use as a reference to verify them!"

This path is extremely brilliant. If one truly understands it and analyzes it thoroughly, who would he fear among those of the same level? Even if a peerless expert falls, he wouldn't be afraid if their cultivation levels were similar!

Wang Xuan's primordial spirit re-entered the Inner Scenery Realm. He had been sitting cross-legged for seven years before, and now he walked into the depths of this quiet and mysterious place, relaxed slightly, and began to explore carefully.

The Inner Scenery Realm is poorly documented in various ancient books, with vague descriptions and many cryptic expressions. Even the authors themselves could not explain many of the phenomena described.

Some even speculate that the Inner Scenery Realm may not be limited to just one floor.

Wang Xuan ventured to the very depths, piercing through the mist, and finally found a Realm Wall. He opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, and through the rough stone wall, he vaguely saw living beings?!

"Waaah..."

He even heard a very faint cry.

He immediately got flustered. What was going on?

The blurry outline was accompanied by a pile of fire, and it seemed as if countless pieces of paper were being thrown up and burning, accompanied by cries.

Wang Xuan was stunned, and then his scalp tingled. Who was burning paper money and crying?

His first thought was of the Mysterious World he had entered from the mist rising from the earth, where, above the dark night sky, a large amount of paper money was silently falling.

"Who are you? How many years have you been crying? Why are you here scaring me?" He felt a chill run down his spine.
