The Sword Immortal Fell Victim Again
A miniature version of the Sword Immortal appeared on the ground, with special patterns interwoven in her eyes. She wanted to see through Wang Xuan, but he seemed mysterious.
"Where is your main body in the curtain? Don't you want to come out?" Wang Xuan quickly tried to divert her attention, bringing up the old topic again, wanting to lead her out of the curtain.
"She should be in the Guanghan Palace." The Sword Immortal was listless. It had been a long time since she had grown up. After the main body returned, she was definitely still a minor.
"In the Guanghan Palace? That's a place near Mount Buzhou and the Jade Pool, belonging to the Mental World?"
"That's right, I'll practice my sword skills in the ruins of Guanghan and search for the Heavenly Marrow. I won't come back until I reach the Peerless Grade!" As she said this, she became energetic again, like a child, her expression changing quickly.
Wang Xuan couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
"Why are you laughing?!"
Now, this Little Thing is quite quirky and endearing, with big, bright black eyes and a chubby, pretty face full of apple cheeks.
Now, when she pretends to be fierce, it's just a cutesy fierceness; she can't be domineering at all.
Wang Xuan couldn't resist and pinched his chubby little face. It felt so good, so smooth and slippery. Then he saw the fire blazing in his eyes.
Last time, he reached out his "devil hand" with audacity, and today the mini version of the Sword Immortal has once again encountered his "poisonous hand".
"Ah!" She was covered in sword light, like a little hedgehog, quite prickly, and stabbed Wang Xuan aside, making her eyes widen in anger.
Back when they first met at the Inner Scenery Realm, she had Wang Xuan and Old Chen completely under her thumb, and they always treated her with respect, calling her "Fairy" whenever they met.
How long has it been? Wang Xuan is already drifting into outer space. Has she really turned into a chubby little child?
She quickly drew her immortal sword, intending to teach him a lesson.
Clang clang clang!
Wang Xuan is on a passive defensive stance. Don't underestimate her because of her small size; she is incredibly strong, given that her original body has already reached the Quasi-Peerless level.
"Let's stop fighting! We shouldn't fight among our own people!" He decisively retreated. How could he lower himself to the level of a child, especially such a powerful one? He was even less likely to provoke him.
"What kind of freak are you? Why do you improve so much every time we meet?" The Sword Immortal's eyes Flowing Divine Radiance. Although her face was tense with anger, she was truly shocked inside.
"So what if you opened up a special Inner Scenery Realm during your Mortal Period? Is it really necessary to be so unreasonable in your cultivation?" she muttered, quite indignant.
Since ancient times, she is the only Quasi-Peerless, rising star closest to the strongest. Her cultivation progress is already terrifying enough, putting immense pressure on demon saints and celestial immortals from all sides.
As a result, the young man she had mentored progressed at an even faster pace than she had back then!
"There's no other way. In this era, I could throw a shoe at anyone and it would unleash a god. The Old Earth and the New Star are teeming with monsters. In order to survive, I can only strive to catch up with all of you and defeat all sorts of Demonic Creatures and Monsters," Wang Xuan said.
Then, he actually threw a shoe, and a thrush flying by let out a shriek and flapped its wings to escape. It really was a female Demon Immortals!
"Did you see that?" Wang Xuan was speechless.
"That's one I raised. I just tamed it recently and kept it for guard duty!" The Sword Immortal waved her hand towards the distance, signaling the thrush to leave temporarily.
Wang Xuan became serious and said, "I'm not joking with you. Quickly inform your main body so I can bring her out. Don't delay, lest something unexpected happens."
"Didn't I tell you? I was worried that your inner energy would be severely depleted when you broke through the Inner Scenery Realm, so she's looking for the Heavenly Marrow to help you replenish your body," the Sword Immortal whispered.
"No need, I have another way to avoid harm!" Wang Xuan said.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he took out a few pieces of Good Fortune True Crystal and handed them over, saying, "See if they're useful to you and can help you grow faster."
"Ah, this is..." The miniature Female Sword Immortal held several pieces of blue crystal, her big eyes squinted, her small face full of happiness, almost intoxicated.
"It feels so good, it's so useful to me!" She was very happy, feeling that her flesh and blood were being illuminated and that her bones and muscles were about to transform and grow.
"And more." Wang Xuan took out more than a dozen pieces of dazzling golden Good Fortune True Crystal. He had absorbed blue and golden near-real Super Material and broken through to the Ten Stages of the realm.
In the process of his accumulation, searching for new Super Material is more meaningful for his breakthrough and improvement. He also possesses other colored Good Fortune Crystal.
"So many?" At this moment, the Sword Immortal was holding a pile of real crystals, looking like a little money-grubber. If Wang Xuan hadn't been here, she would have rolled around on the ground with joy, her big eyes sparkling.
"Mind your image, maintain your fairy-like demeanor!" Wang Xuan reminded her with a smile.
She quickly adjusted her breathing, transforming back into a delicate little fairy. With a serious expression, she said, "Hmm, I'll contact my main body and tell her to prepare to return. I just don't know if she'll listen to me."
Then, Wang Xuan made a deal with her, asking her to wait at the Shenkong Cliff behind the behind the Great Curtain, where they would meet if she returned.
He had indeed done his homework, and knew the terrain map in the Great Curtain. He also learned that Zheng Yuantian and Heng Jun had moved their Daoist temples, which were now located in the Immortal Realm corresponding to the Old Earth.
Recently, the World-Crossing Sword and the Carefree Boat have been frequently appearing behind the Great Curtain corresponding to the Old Earth, which has aroused suspicion among some powerful figures, who are keeping a close watch on them.
"Do you know how to avoid the supreme divine power of an unparalleled expert's 'Retracing the Past'?" Wang Xuan asked.
He wants to enter the Immortal Realm. What if he accidentally kills Zheng Yuantian with the Nurturing Life Furnace, or successfully digs up the First Immortal Tea in front of Heng Jun Cave and someone traces the scene back to him?
He had personally witnessed that both Old Zhang and Zheng Yuantian possessed this terrifying ability. He worried that after he caused a great disturbance in the Immortal Realm, someone would trace back to the past and find out that he was the one who did it.
"It's very troublesome. If there were real matter and extremely illusory matter, fused together, becoming both real and illusory, and made into armor to cover the whole body, it might be able to cover everything. Of course, if There Are Supreme Treasures, it would be easier."
The Sword Immortal mentioned some substances, such as the Good Fortune True Crystal that Wang Xuan gave her, which is a substance that is infinitely close to reality and can be used.
According to her, scraps of True Medicine and precious treasures can be used to forge extraordinary armor, but no one has ever seen such a thing before.
Wang Xuan pondered that he might be able to gather all these rare materials!
"I once saw a flower that might be the most precious celestial medicine, or even the True Medicine. It can cause hallucinations, making people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. This thing..."
"It is usable. As you described, it is itself a transformation between the real and the unreal. When the unreal reaches its extreme, the true source emerges. A long time ago, a Super Mythological Civilization had this idea."
Not long after, Wang Xuan left.
The mini version of the Sword Immortal, no longer hiding her true self, happily carried a pile of crystals into the underground, then started tumbling around, beaming with delight and a sweet, happy smile.
Then she discovered that a hateful face was peeking out from the ground, grinning and watching her!
"Didn't you leave?!" she screamed, her face flushed red, as if she were about to turn into a little hedgehog again.
"You continue, I'm leaving now!" Wang Xuan laughed heartily, and this time he really went far away, disappearing into the Desolate Mountain and wilderness.
Over the next few days, Wang Xuan prepared diligently, constantly studying various materials. To this end, he even went to Old Zhang to borrow a bronze mirror to examine it, and discreetly scraped off some patina from it.
"What are you doing?!" Old Zhang was very wary and snatched the bronze mirror back. Beneath the patina, there was a hidden world, densely packed with dazzling runes.
Wang Xuan asked Fang Yuzhu many more questions. Then, he prepared to go to the Land of Nothingness again, where he would risk digging up the roots of that demonic flower.
He approached it twice, and both times he almost got into trouble. Once he touched its already rotten roots, and the other time he touched the tip of its living rootstock.
Fang Yuzhu left, not disappeared, but went to Ping City. She had read through all the books in Ancheng University with her unparalleled primordial spirit, so she went to the place with the most books in the Old Earth.
Wang Xuan was lost in thought; the fact that no one lived next door made him feel uneasy. Soon, another question popped into his head: Fang Yuzhu had gone to Ping City; would his parents go to see their "future daughter-in-law," Fang Yuzhu, whom they'd been whispering about in private? Given their earlier behavior, it was very strange, and quite possible!
In fact, Fang Yuzhu was indeed quite poisoned by the Queen Mother's toxic chicken soup. She went to Ping City to secretly see the creator of this toxic chicken soup, whom she had only heard of but never seen, in order to dispel some of her doubts.
Chen Yongjie returned to the manor and ate the Peng egg that Qing Mu had left for him. He was both moved and sighed, saying that he didn't have a daughter, and if he did, it would be perfect for him to marry Qing Mu.
"You're not getting any younger, you should settle down and start a family!" Old Chen advised him.
"No rush, Master. Didn't you just get married? I also want to become an extraordinary person, and then reverse aging, going from forty years old to twenty years old. Then I'll think about these things."
Wang Xuan directly took out some Good Fortune True Crystal and gave them to Qing Mu and Chen Yongjie. He had obtained too many in the Supernatural Light Sea, and nearly three hundred crystals would be enough for him.
The master and apprentice stared blankly.
"Old Chen, please protect me. I need to go into seclusion!"
"You're not going to cause another earthquake, are you?" Chen Yongjie was surprised. It had only been a few days, and another earthquake would be really outrageous.
"I doubt it can be shaken off." Wang Xuan shook his head. The Ten Stages is too special. When he drank the First Immortal Tea, he clearly felt it, but it was silently suppressed and he could not break through to the Eleventh Stage.
That's why he wanted to go to the Immortal Realm to dig up Heng Jun's tree. That kind of tea fruit was indeed effective for him. It didn't give him special Super Material, but rather stimulated his primordial spirit, allowing him to External Sensation.
He was certain that once he had harvested enough tea fruits, he would be able to break through!
His main purpose in going to the Land of Nothingness was to dig up special materials to refine an armor for himself, which would conceal his aura.
Sure enough, after Wang Xuan entered the Misty Land this time, despite burning and refining, and repeatedly attracting Red Substance, which nearly killed him, it was all in vain, and he could not break through to the Ten Stages!
"It seems that hard work and desperate measures alone are not enough; we need to find another way," Wang Xuan muttered to himself.
Then he went to the meteorite crater. This time he was well prepared. Before coming, he had diligently studied the scripture left by the severely Mental Illness patient.
He believed that this scripture was most suitable for dealing with the terrifying hallucinogenic demonic flower of utmost emptiness.
"In this world, there is only me. What demonic flower? It's just my doodle. You think you can deceive me and lure me into an illusion? Impossible!" Wang Xuan empowered himself with scriptures that sounded like those of Mental Illness.
In addition, he also brought the lid of the Nurturing Life Furnace, which can be regarded as a rehearsal to see if he can take it on a long journey.
The result was encouraging; at Ten Stages, he was able to withstand the pressure of the lid and had no problem carrying it on the road.
However, Wang Xuan was still "beaten" at the meteorite site. Even though he was so well prepared, he still got lost, couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, almost died, and even tried to commit suicide!
If it weren't for the crucial moment God Slaying Banner spontaneously chimed and tapped the lid of the Nurturing Life Furnace, its Qingyin resonating and waking him up, he would have almost smashed himself to death with the lid!
"This demonic flower is terrifying!" Wang Xuan was still shaken. After obtaining a piece of root, he turned and ran away. Every time he faced it, he suffered a great loss and was driven to the brink of despair!
"Alright, I've finally brought back the rare material!" He revealed a strange expression as he brought a piece of root back to the present world. It was between reality and illusion, flickering and uncertain, and was quite peculiar.
Thank you to: Only for Chen Dong, thank you for your support, Alliance Leader!
