Blowing Away the Mist, Drawing Closer to the Truth

The moonlight was bright, but Wang Xuan's heart was clouded. Standing on the lawn, looking at the stars reflected in the lake, his mind was still tense.

Who is it, and what is the origin of this shadow? Appearing in such an unpredictable form, what would happen if one's own shadow were swallowed by it?

Will it then take over his physical body?

Wang Xuan stood there, thinking a lot. He realized that he really couldn't defend against it. This shadow was far too dangerous, unlike any enemy he had encountered before.

"To be able to activate my Inner Scenery Realm right away, that's really a bit scary!" He frowned deeply.

Tonight's events left him restless and unable to eat or sleep. He dared not imagine what it would be like if, while he was in seclusion studying the scriptures, the shadow suddenly attacked him, catching him completely off guard.

"Old Zheng has been eyeing me for a long time, but I successfully killed him after voluntarily entering the Immortal Realm, thus eliminating a major threat. Where did this shadow come from?" Wang Xuan felt insecure without figuring it out; he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

It's like being in a brightly lit room, while a pair of cold eyes are watching from the darkness outside the window, and an unknown "beast" might pounce into the room at any moment.

"Is it Heng Jun? He's closest to Zheng Yuantian, and he wants to avenge him?" Wang Xuan said, then shook his head.

If it really is Heng Jun, to ensure everything goes smoothly, he should have used the Ascension Banner right away to immobilize him first.

"There must be someone else, and he's even stronger than Zheng Yuantian!"

This is quite frightening. The enemy is unpredictable and powerful, and we can't fathom their strength. If the man and woman hadn't appeared in time, tonight would have been a very dangerous night.

"This is outrageous. He's so skilled at it that he can easily pry open other people's Inner Scenery Realm!" Wang Xuan's eyes were deep; this result sent chills down his spine.

No one had ever been able to do this before, skillfully opening the Inner Scenery Realm without his help. This was simply unbearable for him, and a chill ran down his spine.

Wang Xuan had various thoughts in his mind, but outwardly he remained calm.

"He first verified that I had a special Inner Scenery Realm, and only after confirming that I had a special inner vision did he approach me, intending to devour my shadow and thus affect my physical body and spirit."

Soon, Wang Xuan called Old Chen and Qing Mu, and based on the principle of not wasting resources, asked the two of them to come and cultivate.

They've been living here recently, so distance isn't a problem. In no time, the master and apprentice arrived.

"Did you trigger your Super-Sense?" Chen Yongjie asked in surprise. Despite his words, he had already nimbly astraled his mind and taken Qing Mu inside.

In any case, this is equivalent to "Steal Time," which can enhance one's spiritual perception countless times, making it most suitable for enlightenment and spiritual practice.

"This is a great fortune! I'm about to enter a paradise on earth again. Transcendence is not far away!" Qing Mu was excited. He didn't want to be surpassed by Qin Cheng, the good-for-nothing who was also in Ancheng.

After carefully scanning the area, Wang Xuan also mentally entered the area, but did not dare to go too deep. He stood near the entrance to prevent any accidents or Sudden Change.

Here, he has ample time to consider the issue.

"This is special Inner Scenery Realm that I opened during my Mortal Period. It's different from other superhumans. Theoretically speaking, it's very difficult for outsiders to open it."

However, the other person was even more skilled than him and made no great noise, almost making him unaware of it.

Most importantly, even now, Wang Xuan himself can't open it anytime, anywhere, but that person can!

"Does it really understand this special Inner Scenery Realm? Has it ever been in contact with it, experienced it, or even owned it?!" The thought sent chills down Wang Xuan's spine.

It must be said that, standing in the clear and bright inner world, his thoughts became increasingly clear. He connected with many things, his mind wandered, and all sorts of ideas came to him.

He remained silent, pondering carefully, seriously considering and assessing the situation. This matter was extremely terrifying; the danger posed by this enemy surpassed anything he had ever faced before!

The thought of the worst possibility sent a chill down his spine. Since this person was more familiar with the special Inner Scenery Realm than he was, if they were determined to target him, it might cause him to collapse.

Whether considering his terrifying strength or his future relationships with various peerless masters, this person is clearly more valuable!

"This could be the biggest crisis I've ever faced. If things go wrong, I could capsize, be doomed, and be replaced!"

Wang Xuan felt a sense of crisis. Considering the background of this person and the various possibilities that might follow, he had to be extremely careful and prepared.

"Tonight's attack reminded me that my optimistic situation has completely changed. The fog has been blown away, and I realize that I am now standing before a terrifying behemoth in the darkness!"

If it were any other superhuman, they would probably have died mysteriously today, making it difficult to extract any truly valuable information, let alone see the terrifying "footprints" left by that person in the black mist.

"From now on, I'll have to rely on myself. Even if I have a very good relationship with a peerless master, they might not necessarily stand on my side in the future!" Wang Xuan sighed.

A huge crisis looms before him, and he must deal with it seriously.

"Who were those two people? They were very strong, managing to drive away that shadow. However, they ultimately couldn't achieve their goal and couldn't kill that person."

In the time that followed, he began to cultivate himself, read scriptures, and study cutting-edge theories of mythology, including the breakthrough method for Ten Stages creatures that he had obtained from the mechanical bird.

The shadow of death is looming, a tremendous crisis is looming. What can save him? He cannot rely on others; he must look within himself!

Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, a golden text appearing before his eyes. He was studying the Golden Cicada Technique, a method for Change Fate that Old Man Zhong Yong had painstakingly practiced.

"Old Zhong, Zhong Cheng, and Zhong Qing have been in deep space for a long time. I wonder if they have found their Pure Land Outside the World."

The reason he studied this scripture was that he had chatted with the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, Old Zhang, and others some time ago, and learned that they had all practiced similar methods.

Such scriptures are very special. No matter how strong you are, they give you a chance to Change Fate and expand the limits of your life!

For example, when Zhang Daoling was at Mount Hemming, he watched the Heavenly Serpent and the Divine Crane fight. He not only created the Serpent Crane Eight Scattered Hands on a whim, but also watched the dying Heavenly Serpent shed its skin and undergo Nirvana. Combining this with Ancient Method, he comprehended the Heavenly Snake Transforming Dragon Chapter.

The celestial serpent undergoes a metamorphosis, a qualitative change in its life!

"I also have this scripture, the Heavenly Snake Transforming Dragon Chapter. I didn't read it carefully at the time, thinking the name was a bit too forceful and not refined enough. I never expected that it was left by Old Zhang!"

During their time at New Star, especially before leaving, Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie practically scoured every library, hoping to obtain enough scriptures in the final years of the mythology era so that they would have sufficient resources to continue their journey during the future extraordinary dark winter.

Similar scriptures include the Phoenix Nirvana Method, which the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor practiced, and even his nine True Fate were related to it.

Wang Xuan searched through the corners of his memory and found this piece. At the time, it was completely imprinted in the depths of his mind, and he didn't study it at all!

He carefully searched through the "book room" in his primordial spirit, and found that several famous works were not missing, such as the Butterfly Transformation Method and the Ant Gazing at Dragon Chapter.

"Fang Yuzhu and the Demon Lord Yanyan both mentioned the 'Ascension Return Origin Scripture,' so it seems that even if they didn't know each other in the mortal world, they had some potential relationship and practiced the same scripture."

At this moment, Wang Xuan was truly grateful to Zhong Yong and the others. After searching through various secret archives, he had all the scriptures related to these limit-breaking techniques that could enhance the Essence of Life!

"Practice every single lesson, and see how it goes!"

In this era, any scripture that can elevate the human body and bring about a qualitative change is a treasure.

It wasn't that he hadn't valued it enough before; it was simply that he had acquired so many scriptures, a vast amount of Dharma, richer than the collections of many great ancient religions.

Aside from a few Supreme Scriptures such as the Golden Bamboo Slip and stone tablets, there are too many other options. Fortunately, I had some inspiration from chatting with several religious leaders.

"Old Zhong is no ordinary person. He selected the Golden Cicada Technique from countless scriptures and mastered it. I wonder how many years he practiced it." Wang Xuan didn't ask for details.

If Old Zhong had practiced for a lifetime, that would have been over a hundred years of hard work. Just thinking about it makes one lose all will to live. The Exhausted Era has arrived; there isn't that much time left.

"However, the interior can steal time; let's start here!"

Wang Xuan didn't want to put down any of them, so he practiced them alternately. He discovered that these limitless scriptures had conflicting parts, but also a lot of essential points that could be integrated, so they could be practiced simultaneously.

Chen Yongjie was deeply engrossed in studying the Six Elixir Reincarnation Chapter, including Golden Pill, Relic, Demon Core, and Demonic Essence. After hearing that Wang Xuan was practicing the Limit Breaking Technique, he was also quite interested and tried to incorporate it into his studies.

As for Qing Mu, he's just started out, and his goal is to become extraordinary!

When Wang Xuan reached his level, as the Inner Scenery Realm was about to close, he felt that he had stolen several years of time, while Qing Mu felt that he had stolen twenty or thirty years.

"Sure enough, as my Realm Advancement, some of the effects of the Inner Scenery Realm are weakening!"

This was inevitable, but what happened in two or three minutes outside and several years inside was still astonishing and an unimaginable miracle for ordinary extraordinary people.

"Anyway, I still have the 'Immortal Bone Can,' so I'll have to master a few cultivation techniques no matter what!"

The cultivation ended, and the outside world was still bathed in moonlight. Great Grandmaster Qing Mu was getting closer and closer to transcendence, and he went to sleep in a good mood.

Chen Yongjie was warned by Wang Xuan and learned of his recent experience. He was shocked. He could no longer help with this level of confrontation, but he needed to be aware of it.

The next morning, Wang Xuan's phone rang; it was his mother calling.

"Son, welcome the emperor. Where is Ancheng?"

Wang Xuan was surprised. "Ah, you've returned from Ping City?" Although the superhumans are now very Rules and abide by the new covenant, there are too many strange things happening around him, and it's not safe to get too close to him.

But since everyone had returned, he had to go see them, so he rushed over immediately.

The two looked well and had already eaten breakfast. They were sitting in a beverage shop. The pace of life for officially retired people is very slow, which is enviable.

Wang Xuan realized that although he was living in the world, he was quite far removed from this down-to-earth life, and he planned to make up for it later.

"Why are you back?"

"It's no fun staying in Ping City all the time. We just stopped by to see you. We'll head back to Yuncheng soon; it's more comfortable staying at home. If you feel bored, go on a trip. We haven't spent much of the money you gave us. Next time, your dad and I will go to New Star," said Mother Wang, having already planned it all out.

Wang Xuan recalled that the money was a reward he received from Qing Mu when he obtained the Silver Animal Hide scroll at Qingcheng Mountain. He hadn't earned much money since then.

"Son, let me tell you, don't run around lately. The Supernatural World outside is very chaotic, so don't cause any trouble," said Mother Wang.

"You guys..." Wang Xuan looked at her suspiciously.

Mother Wang said, "What Yuzhu said is true. It's nothing for ordinary people like your father and me, especially since she gave us two tokens, which will make us safer in the future. But for Supernatural Practitioner like you, the world is a bit chaotic."

Wang Xuan was speechless. He was embarrassed to call Fairy Fang by her name, but his parents were calling her Yuzhu directly.

"Do you know what era she lived in?" he asked, needing to give her a heads-up, after all, she was a Super Peerless.

Mother Wang said, "Don't talk about her birth era, I don't care. I just think she's great. If she were powerful enough, that would be even better. It would be prestigious to talk about her to others later, saying that my daughter-in-law is the Fang Yuzhu!"

"Wait, calm down first, don't get carried away. Make sure no one hears you calling me that." Wang Xuan was genuinely worried. His mother didn't understand how deep the waters of the Supernatural World were, and calling someone that carelessly could lead to serious trouble.

"Fang Yuzhu is a very good person," her father added.

Wang Xuan quickly took a sip of his drink to calm his nerves. What kind of situation was this? If he couldn't clearly sense that his parents were just ordinary people, he would have really thought that the two big shots were trying to match him up with Fang Yuzhu.

Even so, he was moved and couldn't help but think of what happened last night, when a man and a woman helped him drive away that terrifying shadow.

Wang Xuan looked up, preparing to take a closer look at his parents. Recently, all sorts of strange things had been happening, making him suspicious and even wanting to get his own family members tested.

Mother Wang took this matter very seriously and said with a smile, "Son, let me tell you, I've given all of our family heirlooms to Fang Yuzhu. Your horoscopes are very compatible. When you traveled to Ping City, that extraordinary Master Wukong even did a fortune telling and said you two are a perfect match and will have a son."

"Wait a minute, who did you meet?" Wang Xuan was startled by their words before he could even investigate. Sun Wukong had appeared?

"What are you thinking? He's not some monkey. His Buddhist name is Wukong. He's supposedly a powerful Supernatural Practitioner. He even said you have a connection with him. You're the one who released him from some so-called Inner Scenery Realm."

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. Was that the Ghost Monk? He had only released four people from the Inner Scenery Realm: the Sword Immortal, Zhang Daoling, Fang Yuzhu, and the Ghost Monk who had been beating Old Chen in the spiritual realm all night, making him howl in pain.

"This world is really chaotic," he sighed, then looked at his parents and said, "Wait, be quiet, don't move, let me take a look."
