Serene Overlook

The God Slaying Banner is about the size of a palm, with a golden surface and fine patterns.

The Silver Animal Hide scroll was a foot square, with a faint silver sheen, fine texture, and hundreds of strange characters, giving it a very high-quality feel.

Those words were not written with ink, but carved with a knife, which is very artistic and full of beauty.

Both the flag and the animal hide book have a hazy glow, and when placed together, they complement each other, creating an indescribable charm.

Wang Xuan ran his hand over it; both the flag and the silver scroll felt very comfortable to the touch, and the natural, mysterious patterns were captivating.

Wang Xuan held the God Slaying Banner and poked the animal skin scroll, but it didn't react at all.

Then, he boldly tried, gently God Slaying Banner, which spread out golden patterns and entered the animal skin scroll, but... it still didn't move.

He frowned. He had some ideas in mind before, but now they seemed to have been proven wrong, which made him quite disappointed.

"Legend has it that there is a Body Slaying Banner, but it seems that this is not its banner. I was just overthinking it." He stroked the Silver Animal Hide scroll that was about a foot square.

Although its origin is still unclear, this thing is definitely extraordinary. The fact that it entered his life earth indicates that it is extremely unusual.

Seeing that he had recovered and his spirits had returned, Qing Mu asked, "How are you?" He also wanted to know what the strange object he had been studying for half a year was actually used for.

"Completely clueless." Wang Xuan shook his head, preparing to ask for help. Now that Old Chen had been abandoned and was no longer an encyclopedia, he had a better target.

Not long after, he and Qing Mu appeared again in the Desolate Mountain 800 miles away from Ancheng to seek guidance from the Sword Immortal. It would be a waste not to use an ancient sword immortal.

The reason he was rushing around so quickly was that Wang Xuan felt the silver book was extraordinary and wanted to find out its origin as soon as possible to avoid missing anything.

To his and Qing Mu's dismay, the shrunken Sword Immortal actually had a bad temper when she woke up.

Having been woken up by people for two consecutive days, she was listless, yawning one after another, and said, "I'm still growing, so please don't interfere with my development."

"I brought something good with me this time. Wake up quickly and see what it is." Wang Xuan placed the silver book underground.

The miniature Sword Immortal stretched out a small, white hand and took it in, then quickly sank deep underground.

"This kind of writing spans several eras and is even older than Oracle Bone Script. I don't recognize it either. I seem to have heard people mention it briefly. I estimate that even among the Transcendent Immortals, there are very few who recognize it."

She rested her delicate white chin on one hand and held Silver Beast Skin Book in the other, her brows slightly furrowed as she pondered something.

"Only those old geezers, those bandits who scour the world for scriptures, could possibly have studied this kind of writing," she said helplessly.

"For example?" Wang Xuan asked.

"That red-clad monster," the Sword Immortal said.

Wang Xuan and Qing Mu exchanged bewildered glances. The Female Demon Immortal always appeared shrouded in mist and rain, dressed in stunning red, and was incredibly beautiful. This was the first time anyone had ever described her in such a way.

"Forget it, if I go to her, it would be like throwing myself into the lion's den." Wang Xuan gave up the idea.

"Otherwise, we could look for ancient people from the pre-Qin period, such as those Daoist Masters. They were all very knowledgeable, especially when dealing with special eras. Some of them should be able to recognize these characters." After saying this, she fell silent, her eyelids drooping.

Although she Ice Skin, Jade Bones and was shrouded in celestial mist, she still looked like a ten-year-old, needing to catch up on sleep, and appeared somewhat delicate, unlike a sword immortal.

Wang Xuan waved his hand, took back the silver book, and decided to let the "Little Thing" sleep more for the time being. He and Qing Mu left silently.

"Female Daoist practitioner?" On the way, Wang Xuan pondered. The unparalleled alchemists of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners period, who had read extensively from various scriptures, might be familiar with this kind of writing.

He entered the strange Inner Scenery Realm of the Female Daoist practitioner and saw various virtual scenes, such as her study, which was rich in collections and even contained Golden Bamboo Slip.

Thinking back on it carefully, he was a bit too ambitious at the time, even wanting to flip through the bamboo slips on the table. In the end, everything vanished with the wind, and he couldn't touch them.

"Her intentions are hard to fathom." Wang Xuan didn't know much about the Female Daoist practitioner, but she was indeed ridiculously powerful and was the only known being to have retained a complete physical body.

"And 'Old Zhang' is also unfathomable."

The candidates he thought of were all very capable, but they all had the same problem: he didn't want to get close to them for the time being, fearing that he would be devoured whole.

"In that bar at New Star, 'Old Zhang' said he would give me the Heavenly Medicine Seed from the Daoist Ancestral Court. What a pity," he said with regret.

But he wasn't so regretful. Taking on the karma of "Old Zhang" wasn't something easy to repay, and besides, he wasn't even sure of this person's true origins.

After returning to Ancheng, Wang Xuan began to recuperate and adjust his condition. The situation was extremely serious, and he prepared to explore that Misty Land again.

"Qing Mu, come over here quickly and cultivate with me. I want to help you get closer to the extraordinary!" Chen Yongjie called, asking Qing Mu to come over, and he seemed to be angry at the same time.

Qing Mu was very excited. Was he finally going to enter the Inner Scenery Realm? He had been looking forward to it for a long time.

But at the same time, his eyelids twitched. What was wrong with his master, who was becoming more and more eccentric? He seemed to be holding back a lot of anger.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xuan heard it too, noticed something was wrong, and immediately asked.

"Those people were really arrogant. Although they didn't say anything superficial or vicious, their attitude was just as unbearable."

Chen Yongjie murmured, a flame flickering in his chest. Not long ago, that group of people came again, spoke to him calmly and indifferently, and told him to gather the cultivators of the Old Earth, mobilize spaceships, dig to the Earth's Core, and blast Kunlun Mountains.

Although there were no insulting words, the indifferent condescension and the unquestionable command still made Chen Yongjie's heart burn with anger.

The other party directly conscripted him, which clearly meant they wanted to use him as a laborer, showing they didn't take the Supernatural Practitioner in the world seriously at all.

Wang Xuan's heart sank. These creatures that emerged from the curtain were clearly much stronger than the previous ones, and their danger level had increased significantly.

He was worried that their cold demands might just be the beginning, and that if Old Chen went against them, his life might be in danger.

"Don't force it, let's avoid it for now," Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.

Then, his voice turned slightly cold as he said, "Be prepared for anything. If these people really go too far, then we'll fight them to the death."

Not long ago, when he was on the New Star, he and Chen Yongjie had just slaughtered a group of Demon Immortals. There was no reason for them to be so easily bullied and powerless after returning to their Old Earth.

These people who have returned all have physical bodies. If they dare to act recklessly and push us too far, then we'll bomb their bodies with warships first and destroy their physical forms!

"I've said everything I needed to say. Times have changed. Modern mortals have the courage to fight against immortals. And they must have heard about the New Star Battleship's land clearing, so they were somewhat hesitant and didn't completely break ties. In the end, those people left with cold faces, asking me to consider it, saying it was a win-win situation."

Chen Yongjie said that as the Number One Person in the Old Earth, he risked his life to become extraordinary and opened up the Inner Scenery Realm in this era. Having reached this point, even when facing the Transcendent Immortals, he did not care much and even looked down on them in his heart.

It was precisely because he was ambitious and looked up to the founders of the sect throughout the ages, comparing himself to the legendary figures, that he felt resentful after being slighted and ordered around by these people.

Wang Xuan was speechless. This guy had been wronged, but that was only one reason. The main reason was that Chen Yongjie was too strong-willed, feeling like a beast king, yet he was being slighted and underestimated by a group of "sick cats" and "hyenas" who had ascended to immortality ahead of time. So he felt resentful.

"So what if Carefree Journey? When I reach that level..." Chen Yongjie sneered. If that day ever comes, he'll have a good talk with these people.

"The Free Carefree Journey is truly remarkable!" someone said from inside the room, looking at him indifferently.

Reality slaps you in the face so quickly. No matter how high Chen Yongjie's ambition or how confident he was in his invincible future, he was now indeed being suppressed by others.

Those people returned just as he had heard his words. They appeared silently and sat on the sofa opposite him. Someone else stood in front of him, calmly looking down at him.

"Gentlemen, if you want to hire people to dig through the mountain, you can recruit them and pay them; no problem at all. But if you think you can manipulate me, ordering me to gather cultivators, mobilize warships, or even make me do manual labor for you with just a word, I cannot do that," Chen Yongjie said in a deep voice.

"How about we talk more in detail?" someone said with a smile. As before, there were no harsh words, but the calm, condescending gaze and the invisible spiritual pressure emanating from him were somewhat intimidating.

He seemed to be trying to mentally invade Chen Yongjie's mind, suppress his thoughts, and make him change his mind, but he encountered fierce resistance; the other party's will was incredibly strong.

His companions pulled him away, preventing him from continuing, because at that moment, they felt as if their bodies were about to break apart!

"A warship has locked onto this place!" They Mental Communication, their expressions turning grim.

"This is outrageous!" Chen Yongjie slammed his fist on the table, shattering the surface, and said coldly, "You came back alive just to test the warships on yourselves? If you want to be blasted into pieces, then try it!"

In Ancheng, Qing Mu was anxious. Those people had actually come again, forcing his master to this point!

Chen Yongjie's call didn't end, and Qing Mu and Wang Xuan heard it clearly.

"Everyone, the demons of New Star are almost all dead!" Wang Xuan's voice came through the phone.

A sudden silence fell over Chen Yongjie's room. They had already heard about the New Star's situation; the demons were in a sorry state and suffered heavy casualties.

Guan Lin walked in, dressed in casual clothes, looking very peaceful, but her words were cold. She said, "Immortal from behind the Great Curtain, I hope that from now on, we can live in harmony. I don't know where the Transcendent Immortals will go in the future, but the human world will eventually return to the ordinary."

After she finished speaking, the physical bodies of the several experts in the Carefree Journey in the room became increasingly uncomfortable, as if they were being locked onto by more warships.

Their eyes were cold and indifferent. The fact that a mortal woman could command warships and issue such orders made them feel complicated and strange.

However, they really don't want to turn against each other right now. Fighting and killing are not sophisticated. It would be best to subdue people in a subtle way, especially for the sake of the future. It is not advisable to start a big war now.

One of them spoke calmly, "We do want to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. We are not here to coerce you, but because we have made a new discovery and would like to invite your people to participate. Perhaps there will be some good results."

"During our digging towards the Earth's Core, we unearthed a jade house with people inside. We'd like to see if you're interested in studying it together."

They knew that the Life Science Research Institute in the world were very powerful, capable of conducting various precise tests and experiments, and hoped to leverage their expertise to assist in analysis.

Guan Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask those research institutes. If any of them are interested, they'll contact you."

The group chuckled, left their phone numbers, and drifted away.

"Old Chen, don't take it to heart. Focus on your cultivation. As long as we improve rapidly, exceeding the rate at which the myths collapse, and become powerful enough, these arrogant opponents will be crying!"

Wang Xuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, offering words of comfort.

Chen Yongjie said, "It's nothing. Pressure is a driving force, and it will only make me work harder to become stronger. Today they are suppressing me with their spiritual power, but in the near future, their cultivation may collapse along with the myths, and they will all become mortals. We still have a long way to go."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, the aftershocks of the extraordinary realm have been constantly vibrating recently, causing the realms of beings who have crossed over to this realm to drop again and again, and each time it just so happens to coincide with your realm breakthrough."

Chen Yongjie paused slightly, finding it quite a coincidence, and laughed, "Hurry up, use your reverse indicator to break through again, and shake them all down from the 'ceiling.' If these people fall below the Carefree Journey Realm, let's see how they dare to appear in front of me. I'll just sit here and watch them cry!"

In the end, Chen Yongjie couldn't help but smile. These few times were indeed too coincidental, and reality was naturally not so outrageous and supernatural.

"Alright, I'll go and shake them all down!" Wang Xuan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
