Killed 1,327 Times

Wherever the divine light of the Mine Lord Wang's Spiritual Heavenly Eye reached, the afterimage of the giant purple palace vanished swiftly, and even the woman's melodious laughter disappeared abruptly.

His expression turned serious. So fast? Something seemed off!

The mine was silent, as if no giant palace had ever existed, nor the laughter of young women could be heard; it was simply a meteorite passage.

He walked forward, the purple mist flowing like a river, crashing against him. But his steps were firm, searching along the ancient mine that no one had trodden for countless years. Indeed, the cave walls showed no signs of human excavation; the textures were natural.

Suddenly, he sensed something and discovered a rich life force. In front of him, there was something white moving, like a beautiful snake, winding its way through the air.

Then he heard laughter again, but when he tried to detect it with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he saw no one and the sound quickly faded away.

Wang Xuan walked over, his eyes widening instantly. What did he see? The ground was snow-white and crystalline, like fine jade—that was...

The plant's roots, however, were so shimmering and pure white, appearing incredibly sacred and ethereal, even more otherworldly and holy than the Transcendent Immortals.

It is clearly a root, but it gives people the feeling that it is the immortal, while the so-called demons and Transcendent Immortals are just mortals, carrying the air of the mortal world.

Wang Xuan looked surprised. Could this be the root of the everlasting Flower of Eternal Life in the Meteorite Road?

He was immediately excited, leaving an afterimage in his wake. Standing close to the root, he noticed it was moving, albeit slowly, as if trying to leave.

"Is this mine not far from that Flower of Eternal Life?" Wang Xuan stared at it again and again. Under the all-seeing eye, nothing could be hidden.

There was nothing ominous about it, nor any unsettling power. On the contrary, the almost real roots exuded an aura that calmed the mind and focused the spirit.

"Could it be that the Flower of Eternal Life has become sentient and transformed into that woman?" Wang Xuan looked doubtful. Otherwise, why would she disappear with a whoosh whenever he used his Heavenly Eye?

Wang Xuan looked at the snow-white roots as thick as a water bucket. This should only be a section of the tip. How thick must the main root be? He hadn't thought much of the Flower of Eternal Life from afar, but he didn't realize how amazing the underground roots were.

"If I can't eat the Flower of Eternal Life for now, eating the Root of Immortality should be just as effective, right?" Then, he saw white light flash and various kinds of light rain rise, and at the same time, a sound reappeared in the distance.

Wang Xuan said, "It really is you. Don't worry, I won't hurt your main body. Hmm, in order to find new mythical power, I only need a little bit of the longevity elixir to advance."

The snow-white roots, like giant snakes, suddenly ran away at great speed. Wang Xuan immediately gave chase, using his Primordial Spirit State to Shrink Ground into Inches, and caught up in a moment.

This was ultimately just a medicinal plant, possessing no great magical power, and he managed to capture its snow-white roots.

"I'll just have a few bites, I won't be greedy!" Wang Xuan reassured him. This might be something even more amazing than the Heavenly Medicine, possibly True Medicine, or even a Daoist medicine.

"The Flower of Eternal Life that never fades... I actually came into contact with it just like that." Without delay, Wang Xuan quickly took a bite to avoid any accidents.

The moment the snow-white roots broke through the skin, a rich fragrance instantly filled the mine. This aroma was so tempting that it made one's mouth water.

With a gulp, Wang Xuan swallowed a mouthful of water. His whole body was radiating light, and his primordial spirit floated off the ground, giving him the illusion of becoming an immortal!

After taking three large gulps of the "elixir of immortality," he actually felt a sense of fullness. Was he full?

As soon as he let go, the snow-white root disappeared in a flash. He followed it slowly, his mind still on the pure white flower.

By the way, it would be wonderful if we could smuggle ourselves from here to the real world.

A woman's voice came again, and celestial music filled the air ahead. Jade palaces and pavilions emerged from the white mist and stood amidst a purple rain of light, hazy and indistinct, as if one had entered the heavenly realm.

A light, graceful dance unfolded, with ethereal figures moving about, singing and dancing. He quickened his pace.

"Have I entered the real world?" Wang Xuan was shocked. After walking out of the mine, the view in front of him suddenly opened up to a blue lake, clear and sacred, filled with Immortal Dao substance.

On the opposite shore of the lake are various celestial palaces, rows of temples glowing in the sunset, Heavenly Maiden dancing, fairies soaring through the air, and divine flowers and jade trees everywhere, adorning this pure land.

A large golden ship is moored on the shore of Fairy Lake. It is actually made of the Ascension Divine Bamboo. This is too amazing. The original bamboo would have required more than twenty people to wrap it up. It has been hollowed out and turned into a natural ship.

In particular, on the opposite side of the lake, near that celestial palace, there are patches of Ascension Divine Bamboo. These are immortal plants that have almost disappeared and have no trace left in the behind the Great Curtain, but they have become a scenic spot here.

"The Land of Truth?!" In front of the lake, there is a stone tablet inscribed with unintelligible characters, but which resonate with the spirit and make one understand its meaning.

"I really arrived at my destination?!" Wang Xuan could hardly believe his eyes. It was truly unexpected. Today was really a day of great luck.

Of course, although he felt a little tipsy and lightheaded, he wasn't completely out of his mind and used his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to observe the situation on the other side.

In an instant, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and tears welled up as if blood were flowing down, causing him to stagger and feel as if the world was spinning and he was about to fall to the ground.

"Unauthorized trespassing on the real realm and prying into the supreme pure land deserves punishment!"

Then, he felt a cold, gleaming sword tip pressed against his brow. It was a celestial sword, incomparably sharp and unparalleled.

"Stab yourself between the eyebrows and in the heart, and you will escape death; otherwise, I will annihilate you, body and soul, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

A majestic voice rang in his ears, like thunder, making him stagger and unable to stand. What divine power that was!

Is this a being from the real land? He can't see its form, only a powerful being looking down upon him, commanding him. Disobeying orders will result in torture and the destruction of his soul!

Wang Xuan shook his head vigorously, gripping the God Slaying Banner tightly. He was somewhat annoyed; if the flag pierced his brow and heart, his primordial spirit would likely be destroyed.

He was somewhat angry; the other party was too harsh. Even if he had made mistakes, the other party didn't have to be so cold to him.

Besides, what could he possibly have done wrong? He's searching for the truth, trying to Extend Life of the extraordinary, and seeking a new Mythological World. The people here are just too inhumane.

He suddenly raised the God Slaying Banner, intending to cripple himself? That was impossible. He would rather resist and be killed than be a spineless coward who submits and cripples himself.

However, deep in his heart, a strong sense of unease rose up, and the God Slaying Banner roared and shook constantly, trying to break free from his grasp.

"This flag is interesting. Bring it here so I can see what era it's from. It looks vaguely familiar," the man said coldly, but Wang Xuan couldn't see him.

But why would he willingly hand it over? He gripped it tightly, assumed an attack stance, and tried to bombard the other party, yet he himself was once again filled with dread.

"No, what's going on? Why do I feel like doing this will kill me?!" He shook his head violently, straining with all his might, and opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye wide.

At that moment, the blood-red patterns deep within his eyes intertwined, as if a drop of blood had dripped outwards, and then spread, with a bang, as if it had shattered something.

He subconsciously used his newly acquired ability to lock onto a small, confined space and then strangle it!

Then, Wang Xuan's muddled mind cleared slightly, and he saw the truth. He held the God Slaying Banner, aimed it at his own head, and was about to blast himself to death!

"I..." He was shocked. Why did he want to commit suicide? He was clearly going to attack the enemy just now, so how did he end up like this?

No wonder the God Slaying Banner was shaking violently; it was because he had already begun to refine it, and it was giving him a warning just now. It didn't want to kill him!

Although he was in a spiritual state, Wang Xuan felt cold sweat breaking out on his brow. The experience he had just had was too bizarre!

Then, he looked ahead and saw no magnificent palaces, temples, or ancient monasteries, nor any azure fairy lake. As for the Ascension Divine Ship that could ascend to immortality, it didn't even exist.

"My Spiritual Heavenly Eye was just blinded and couldn't be opened; everything I saw was an illusion?"

Wang Xuan even seriously suspected that when he first opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, it might have been a delusion, and he hadn't actually used it. He might have been tricked long ago.

"What state am I in now? Am I still in a hallucination?!" he exclaimed in horror.

In an instant, he once again activated that newly acquired ability. Runes intertwined deep within his eyes, and then mysterious patterns expanded, locking the void in front of him and relentlessly crushing it.

He used this to clear his mind and gain true spiritual awareness. Then he waved the God Slaying Banner and swept across the place, eliminating all falsehood.

During this process, his primordial spirit replayed the old scenes, searching for flaws, trying to figure out whether he had been possessed by evil spirits very early on.

Sure enough, all that talk about opening his heavenly eye and seeing the roots of the immortal Flower of Eternal Life was a lie. He had long been confused, wavering between truth and falsehood.

Wang Xuan wanted to figure out the truth, to combine his Spiritual Heavenly Eye with that ability, to break through the fog, to kill the illusion, and to prevent that inexplicable illusion from getting close to him and affecting him. He wanted to see it clearly.

Soon, he noticed something amiss. There was indeed a mine here, but it wasn't necessarily natural. He saw decaying roots that were almost turned into soil.

This mine shaft was once drilled out by thick roots, and a plant is rooted in a meteorite!

"I understand now. Even the Flower of Eternal Life of immortality needs to transform. This is the 'remains' it left behind, which can actually cause hallucinations and affect me."

Wang Xuan was quite startled, then enraged. He took out the Silver Beast Skin Book, activated the Super Material to enlarge it, and wrapped it around himself for defense.

Then, holding the enlarged God Slaying Banner in both hands, he cleaved it down here, destroying the rotten, almost turned-to-earth, thick roots with a thunderous roar.

"What a useless flower! It actually harms people. What good are you!"

The rotten root exploded, shattered by the blast, and then, Wang Xuan was in trouble; he felt he had been hit again.

However, he knew in his heart that it was all an illusion. With the strongest will, he kept himself awake, did not move, lay flat on the spot, and wrapped the God Slaying Banner around himself to protect himself!

In the time that followed, he suffered terribly. One moment he was trampled to death by a mammoth covered in golden fur, and the next he was punched in the head by a god or demon...

The feeling was so real that it was impossible to tell whether it was a virtual scene or reality. It didn't feel like an illusion at all. It was as if he was truly experiencing death. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago.

In an instant, his body was mangled and turned into a bloody mess at the elephant's feet. Just as he recovered, his head was smashed open by a terrifying fist, his brains splattering everywhere.

Wang Xuan himself couldn't take it anymore. Why did the illusion make him feel so real and painful? He couldn't even lie down and treat it as someone else's life experience. All the pain was being inflicted on him.

And this was just the beginning. In half a day, he experienced 362 ways to die, all of them were tragic tortures and deaths, and all of them involved real pain.

This made him wish he could just commit suicide.

"What is the Flower of Eternal Life? This is... an ever-blooming Poisonous Demon Flower!" This was his most painful realization. Wang Xuan was certain that the flower was far from being as pure and innocent as it appeared; it was terrifying.

"It's just an illusion. Although it's realistic and feels like the real world, it's still fake and can't kill me. Come on, bring it on!" Wang Xuan said through gritted teeth as he lay on the ground.

Then, he saw Qi Liandao, the son of the Demon Ancestor, approaching step by step, wielding a broadsword as thick as a door panel, and beginning to... chop him up!

"I..." Wang Xuan was furious amidst the excruciating pain. This damned illusion, the characters in his heart could be reflected.

He would rather be brutally killed by unfamiliar gods, demons, and monsters than be slaughtered by his enemies.

However, he dared not use the God Slaying Banner to clear the area indiscriminately, fearing that he would be hit again and thus commit suicide inexplicably.

Then, the Blood God Ape appeared, grinning, and tore him in two, blood splattering everywhere, the scene extremely bloody.

Soon after, the Sword Immortal arrived and, with a swift movement, beheaded him with a single sword strike!

Then, Old Zhang appeared, grinning, and smashed a mirror down, turning his head into a mangled mess.

Then, the Red-clothed Demon Immortal danced with unparalleled allure, her charm astounding, her eyes like pools of water, before suddenly slapping him so hard that his head was gone.

A human tragedy: Wang Xuan was killed 1,327 times by all sorts of people. It all felt so real, and the pain was so intense that he felt like he was going to explode.

Once he had completely calmed down, he confirmed several times that it wasn't a hoax. He turned and left, quickly fleeing the crater—it was too terrible, it was practically deadly.

"Good. After this experience, no torture will work on me anymore." He moved away from the ancient mine and said, "You wait, next time I'll transplant a real celestial herb, take over the meteorite, and leave you no place to live. You demonic flower, I'll uproot you sooner or later!"

Leaving the meteorite cave and stepping outside, he carefully examined himself. Although the process was extremely painful, his primordial spirit had become more resilient. Being washed by blood and constantly tempered by death thousands of times had made his spiritual body stronger and more confident.

At this point, he had already reached the eighth level of perfection, but he did not want to linger here any longer. The roots in the meteorite were too abnormal and impossible to guard against.

Next time he comes, he'll have to come up with a safer approach.

Standing at a distance, he looked at the pure white plant in the meteorite passage with a complicated expression. He had been thinking too much before. This was not Immortal Flower. It was clearly a demonic flower that connected reality and nothingness!

He couldn't help but sigh, even its decaying roots were so terrifying, what would happen if one got close to its living body?

"Let's go, it's time to go back!" Before leaving, Wang Xuan held the God Slaying Banner and smashed it against the meteorite, but he couldn't shake the demonic flower down at all.

In an instant, he transformed into a stream of light, merging with the God Slaying Banner, and vanished into the pitch-black Land of Nothingness, embarking on his journey home.

"I wonder how Qi Liandao, Blood God Ape, Qi Chengdao and the others are doing. Are they still thinking of killing me? If you break through the barrier in the opposite direction, then you yourselves will be in danger."

The outside world was in turmoil. Even Old Zhang was startled. He was taken to the hospital, and at the last moment, he was shaken a few more times. He was so relaxed that the mirror on his face almost fell to the ground.

"This time, I must find out the reason why these treasures keep acting strangely. Could it be that someone is deliberately inducing them to vibrate?"

Then his expression became incredibly interesting. He was carried from the regular ward to the psychiatric ward, where an elderly doctor was looking at him with the kind eyes of someone who cares for Mental Illness patients.

In outer space, near the blood pool, everyone was restless. There had been too many Heavenly Tremor, making many people want to curse the heavens.

In the Misty Land, Wang Xuan traveled closer to the Real World while looking at the Silver Beast Skin Book. It had changed; not only were there strange symbols on it, but landscape paintings had also appeared on it!

"What's going on? Near the boundary between reality and illusion, the decaying roots of that demonic flower attacked me with a false illusion, causing this animal skin book to mutate?" Wang Xuan was shocked. He wondered if it was caused by the clash between reality and illusion.
