Far Away and Anomaly

This thing really speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language. Wang Xuan particularly disliked it and kept pulling at it, almost tearing its head off.

"Stop! Don't kill me!" The mechanical bird's metallic feathers bristled, and it trembled all over as it cried out, "Radiant Super Creature cub, no, dashing young immortal, please have mercy! I have a great use for you!"

It panicked, fearing it would be tortured to death, and it was certain that everyone present could completely destroy it.

Wang Xuan looked down at it. This thing couldn't be steamed or roasted; it was just a lump of iron and useless.

The key point is that it has a black beak and has insulted him a lot; killing it wouldn't appease public anger. Wang Xuan grabbed the bird by the neck and slapped it hard across the face.

The mechanical bird screamed pitifully, flapping its steel wings and wailing incessantly. But Wang Xuan was furious because its expression was a bit exaggerated; even if it was trying to play the victim, it should at least look convincing, right?

It howled, but no matter how Wang Xuan looked at it, he felt that the iron bird was just pretending. What pain could a mechanical bird feel?

"I'm really in pain. The simulated body is more intricate than normal flesh and blood. Every tiny component gives me an incredibly realistic sense of pain. I'm so miserable!"

It managed to squeeze out two drops of active metal tears, and this time its expression wasn't so affected; it looked quite convincing.

"What use are you? You can't eat me!" Wang Xuan was still not satisfied. He had been provoked and teased by this mechanical bird for a long time, and now he was seriously repairing it.

He plucked out the metal feathers one by one, making a jingling sound as they landed, instantly leaving the bird half-bald. Then he tied a knot around the bird's neck, turning its head 540 degrees to the back.

"You dare to run away?" Wang Xuan threatened. He realized the fallen feathers had turned liquid and were about to seep into the ground, making him want to escape.

"Supreme and beautiful fairy, your charm is like the most dazzling Divine Pagoda in the dark universe, illuminating one civilization after another, and causing countless epic heroes to bow down."

The mechanical bird turned around and looked pitifully at Fang Yuzhu, trying to flatter her. It realized that the "vengeful" cub wasn't giving it a way out, and no amount of bowing and begging would work.

Fang Yuzhu ignored it, the mechanical bird became anxious and quickly added, "I am the intelligent core. This spaceship is closely related to me. I can lead the way and pilot the spaceship to travel far. I am hardworking and dedicated. As long as I am here, I can handle any hard or tiring work very well!"

"Hand over your permissions. Here, I'll allow you to retain some of your abilities, but transfer the rest to this area." Fang Yuzhu took out a strange, active metal crystal that resembled Rubik's Cube's Cube.

With cold, metallic tears in its eyes, the mechanical bird readily handed over control, and the ancient spaceship completely changed hands.

In fact, it wasn't that high-level; it was just an auxiliary intelligent machine. The real master control over each compartment of the ancient spaceship had already been conquered by Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, and others long ago.

Fang Yuzhu refused to take it in. Seeing this, Wang Xuan said, "Then destroy it. This kind of active metal material is very precious and can be used to repair rare treasures."

"No, I'm very practical. I can help you collect biological samples and pilot any spaceship. In daily life, I can be everywhere. I'm your most suitable butler and your most considerate little helper!"

It shamelessly used an ancient spaceship to invade and connect to part of the Old Earth's network, and is now very proficient in the current language.

"Give me the bird. As people get older, they're slower to understand new things. With this silly bird to help, I think it will be quite good," said the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, who had even given it a name.

"I dare not accept such praise. You are truly humbled by asking questions, and I am happy to serve you. Great Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, you are adept at recognizing and utilizing talent. You will surely Super Peerless in the future and overcome the coming dark night of the Mythological Winter!"

After being released by Wang Xuan, the mechanical bird bowed and scraped, then tried to fly onto the shoulder of the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, making a very nauseating display of loyalty.

"I think this bird has gone too far in becoming a spirit; it should Slay Demon!" Zhang Daoling said, surprised, and glanced at the mechanical bird a few more times.

"It naturally has a background. It's said that its sample came from an extremely ancient entity, one that even I can't trace back to. However, it has been formatted multiple times and works very well," the blue-haired woman said, not minding to expose the mechanical bird's shamelessness.

The mechanical bird trembled and said, "Great Ancestor Zhang, your fame has shaken the ages and is still spread throughout the mortal world. Your philosophies on immortality and your golden statue are known to all. You save people from suffering and are admired by the whole world."

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor laughed, "Little Zhang is eliminating demons for cultivation; can you even scratch his itch?"

"Yes, I have top-secret information here. Depths of Starry Sky, there are records about the strongest demons. Some of them are located in forbidden lairs in a semi-material, semi-energy plane. No one has been able to conquer them yet, and they are waiting for Ancestor Zhang to subdue them!" It quickly retrieved the information from the database and sent it to Zhang Daoling.

The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor's heart stirred. This was a treasure iron bird after all. He asked, "Do you have what I need? I rely on the Blood Sea as my foundation and require super blood cultivation that is rare in the world."

"Yes, the ancient spaceship retained some of the blood of super sample organisms, which was used for repairs when their damage became too severe."

Wang Xuan was slightly surprised that this ghostly bird could actually offer some benefits. He immediately glared at it, indicating that it was time to offer tribute.

"The magnificent super young..." It swallowed the word "young" back and changed it to "super young immortal", telling Wang Xuan that there were various "celebrities" here who had reached the Ten Stages, and even their battle scenes. Some people were even trying to break through to the Eleventh Stage, and one foot had already stepped in.

Wang Xuan was deeply moved. He hadn't expected such a record to exist. It was very important to him, as he wanted to break through the Eleventh Stage of the most cutting-edge theory of mythology!

He now found the mechanical bird much more agreeable; it did indeed have some use. However, he still reminded the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor to be extremely careful, lest it escape from the Old Earth and then use the spaceships in various locations to cause chaos.

"Take control of its permissions," Fang Yuzhu said. There were some things that needed to be guarded against, even though she already had the highest level of access to the ancient spaceship.

"You praised everyone else and gave them benefits, so why did you ignore me?" Demon Lord Yanyan asked.

"Great Yanyan... Miss, your beauty shines like the sun over Shine Upon. Your charm is unparalleled, only Fairy Fang can rival you." The mechanical bird immediately flattered, not forgetting to add a pat on the back at the end, afraid of offending Fang Yuzhu.

"Your unparalleled grace and stunning beauty have transformed into an everlasting light, illuminating the entire universe and countless galaxies. Even the gods prostrate themselves at your feet, willingly surrendering to your captivating radiance."

This monstrous bird is unbearable; it's too nauseating.

Wang Xuan really wanted to tell her to shut up, but he was afraid of offending the Demon Lord because she was listening with great interest. He didn't know if it was narcissism or a bit of a perverse sense of humor, but he kept letting it continue talking and listened to it.

In the end, Fang Yuzhu stayed behind to study the ancient spaceship. She was very interested in the information here and had some expectations for extraterrestrial civilizations.

Zhang Daoling didn't leave either. He stared at the star map, looking at it again and again. He really wanted to cross over to capture and kill those forbidden great demons. That so-called half-matter, half-energy plane was probably miniature Immortal Realm.

Yanyan stayed behind to interrogate the two prisoners. When she faced the blue-haired woman, she also called Wang Xuan over, her exquisite face bearing a seductive smile.

The blue-haired woman was pale. Although she was a clone, she still had emotions and a spiritual light, and was incredibly agile. She was like a clone of a peerless master, and she was speechless with defeat.

"Since you enjoy researching super bloodlines so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" Demon Lord Yanyan smiled as she looked down at the captive.

"I am a clone, and I look the same as the real one, but the potential I contain is completely different, with a huge gap. If my real body were here, I might consider nurturing a bloodline."

After her initial frustration, the blue-haired woman calmed down and responded seriously. She then tried to persuade the demon lord in return, saying, "I have already seen that this is your true physical body, which is most suitable for reproduction. Why don't you have one? With the methods of our civilization, it might be possible to break through the unknown frontier of mythology and adapt to the upcoming Supernatural Winter night."

She took the initiative and almost got slapped by the Demon Lord's white hand. Finally, Yanyan looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Do you want me to train the two of you?"

Wang Xuan quickly shook his head, thinking it best to leave immediately, as the questions ahead would likely be disastrous.

"Why not? I promised that once I caught her, I would teach her a lesson, and yes, I would grant your wish."

Wang Xuan stepped back and said, "No need, she herself said that such bloodline has defects!"

"Yes, the two of you are flawless, you will be the supreme and perfect bloodline." The blue-haired woman was fearless and unafraid of being killed by clones. She actually took out a steaming cup of beverage from the Blessed Land Fragment on her body, began to drink lightly, and smiled at the two of them.

The Demon Lord Yanyan first suppressed the blue-haired woman, rendering her unable to move, with a trickle of hot drink dribbling from the corner of her beautiful mouth. Then she looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Aren't you looking forward to it too?"

Wang Xuan: "..."

He fled in a sorry state; he simply couldn't stay there any longer.

"When the extraordinary perish, the darkest hour of the universe arrives, and you will compromise. The only way out is to start with the strongest bloodline and seek within yourselves. When you see no hope, you will take the initiative to embark on this path," the blue-haired woman said.

Then, she was taught a lesson again, groaning in pain and unable to speak, becoming the demon lord's prisoner.

In the end, only the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, carrying a birdcage, returned to the Old Earth with Wang Xuan in a small spaceship. The other three stayed behind, preparing to head to the New Star soon, as there was another ancient spaceship there that they wanted to take with them.

Time flies. Wang Xuan spent half a month consolidating his cultivation, refining his spirit and body, preparing to adjust his state, and attempting to break through to the Eleventh Stage in the Land of Nothingness to see if he could succeed! By the way, he also planned to transplant the First Immortal Tea there.

He felt that too much time had passed and was worried that something might have changed in the secret realm. He needed to find a way to improve his strength and go pick up Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin to take them home.

Wang Xuan even considered shamelessly dragging along the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, who spent his time drinking tea and walking his birds, to enter deep space together.

Lately, everyone else has been very busy, and it seems that only Mingxue is relatively free. He is taking care of his health by carrying a birdcage while also investigating livestock investment. Perhaps we can ask him to help.

He couldn't speak up before because these were all patriarchal figures, and he couldn't command them. But now that he's become familiar with them, he's willing to try and pester them, no matter how hard it is.

"What? The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor went on a long journey with Fairy Fang, Zhang Daoling, and the Demon Lord seven days ago?" Wang Xuan was astonished. He had heard such news from Chen Yongjie after he came out of seclusion.

"Yes, they went to New Star and took the second spaceship. Following the clues left by the two bloodstained ancient ships, they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. They set sail directly from New Star and disappeared into the vast depths of the universe!"

Old Chen's words stunned Wang Xuan. The sudden departure of the four peerless experts made him feel very uncomfortable. The time they spent together had been quite pleasant, and now they were leaving so abruptly.

"What clue could possibly make these four unparalleled masters take it so seriously, and quietly venture into the depths of the universe?" Wang Xuan wondered.

"They left without leaving a single word, and their hasty departure was truly unexpected." Chen Yongjie was also clueless.

"The four have been gone for a week. I need to be on high alert!" Wang Xuan muttered to himself. Those people all knew he had a special Inner Scenery Realm and didn't want anything to happen to him.

Recently, four masters had been protecting him for a period of time, intentionally or unintentionally. There were always one or two of them near the city where he lived, but now they have all left!

They probably wouldn't have gone to this if it weren't so urgent or the situation so serious.

For the next few days, nothing unusual happened; the Old Earth was peaceful, and the extraordinary beings followed the provisional new covenant, with no one violating the five principles.

Thirteen days after the four masters disappeared, in the evening, Wang Xuan looked up and saw an exceptionally large, bright and soft moon, like pure white water cascading down.

The houses destroyed by Zheng Yuantian were rebuilt, and the dried-up reed lake was restored, its surface shimmering and reflecting a large moon.

Wang Xuan was standing on the grass, gazing at the starry sky, when suddenly he sensed something unusual. His Inner Scenery Realm was about to open automatically, gradually opening even though he wasn't in a state of Super-Sense!

First, a crack appeared, then the entrance began to expand. Next, a rosy light flashed inside, and something appeared, unlike before!

But why did he feel a chill run down his spine? Something was very wrong; the Inner Scenery Realm were out of control, and tonight was far too abnormal!
