The Mortal World Belongs to Horse Yi Xuan
Based on various clues, Wang Xuan had reason to suspect that the Black Fox had serious problems. Moreover, when he asked Fang Yuzhu about the secret place last time, even she said that this old fox was hostile to the Transcendent Immortals.
"Are you asking us to help you realize your dream?" the Silver-haired Man asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, you're too kind of yourselves? Besides, that old fox might actually be Giant Whale." Wang Xuan was very composed and took the initiative, saying, "In that case, I'm helping you realize your life's dreams, how will you thank me?"
The black-haired man in the Spacesuit was quite surprised and said, "Heh, how interesting. This is the first time someone has tried to sell us dreams. Let's see if it's him."
This spaceship is very powerful; scanning the structure of an entire planet, detecting unusual Super Material sources, and capturing powerful signs of life are all routine operations.
"Dog Head" was very dedicated and quickly came up with a result, which he then shared with several of the ghosts privately.
The purple-haired woman spoke, saying, "It is quite an extraordinary fox, with a very high level of life, which is indeed beyond our expectations. However, the environment has changed, and now it can only drift with the tide. It is quite far from being an Earth Immortal. Measured by the mythological level, it is probably at the level of the Carefree Journey Third Layer."
Wang Xuan was moved. This black fox was a bit outrageous. What era was this? The Great Collapse of the Extraordinary. Zhang Daoling and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor could probably only perform at this level if they stayed in the mortal world.
The Silver-haired Man said, "It's not a whale; its life force is completely incompatible. Besides, it doesn't carry any of the terrible, prohibited items from this universe."
"So, see you again if fate allows!" The few ghosts were quite decisive; having lost their target, they decided to leave immediately, not wanting to waste any more time.
"Perhaps we'll never see each other again. Soon we'll be embarking on an adventure, hoping to truly leave this universe!" They've been looking for an opportunity to return.
The hatch opened, and they gestured for Wang Xuan to leave, watching him go.
"Is it possible that the Giant Whale is indeed dead, but your predecessor, your fellow countryman, might still be alive?" Wang Xuan walked outside, but in the process, he was still thinking and made some assumptions, saying, "He replaced the Giant Whale, became a fully Fallen One, and wants to stay in this universe."
The group was taken aback. Was that even possible?
"If he had interacted with that whale long ago, perhaps in his youth, or even since he was the one who opened up the special Inner Scenery Realm, it was that creepy spirit, not the original whale, that rapidly rose to prominence in the Immortal Realm. It wasn't until he broke through the curtain that he reverted to his host identity and released his spirit. Not long after, the host died..."
These words startled the several ghosts, but their reverse thinking didn't find them absurd or bizarre. A brief silence fell over the scene as they confirmed it.
"After reanalysis and comparison, no trace of that fellow villager's life was found. Theoretically, he should be completely dead," said the woman with short hair.
The Silver-haired Man was very rational. He said, "Let's go. Whether that whale broke free of its restraints or our fellow countryman jumped out, it means that the road ahead will be extremely dangerous. This game should end completely. We can't continue."
These two hypotheses are theoretically only slightly possible and almost impossible to realize. They felt that, from any perspective, they should be abandoned.
"Goodbye!" Wang Xuan left the spaceship. By now, he wasn't very high off the ground, and he jumped down.
A streak of silvery-gray light shot up, and the spaceship quickly disappeared into the sky before vanishing into the vast universe without a trace.
"Old Qing, stay away from me, keep a distance of several hundred miles," Wang Xuan said.
He wandered through the mountains and forests, revisiting familiar places. The mountain scenery remained the same, but the Super Material were depleted, and many monsters cried out in despair, creating a desolate scene.
The former site is now barren and deserted. The Eight Great Supernatural Lairs surrounding it are inhabited by creatures that are sickly and too lazy to move.
Although he was in a sorry state here, being chased by Silkworm Snake, mountain turtles, Silver Bear, and golden birds, he did achieve an extraordinary breakthrough here.
He didn't stop, but rushed past and arrived near the Earth Immortal City. He searched carefully along the way but did not see the White Peacock.
Wang Xuan was like a ghost, silently traversing the entire secret realm. He encountered many extraordinary monsters, but they had all degenerated, fallen in power, and were much weaker than before.
"Some creatures may revert to their normal wild animal state, which is rather pathetic." He rushed past, regardless of past grudges or whether they had chased him, all that was gone with the wind, and he no longer cared.
Ancient trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and Giant Vine as thick as water vats, are all shedding yellow leaves, and their lush vitality is gradually dissipating.
He also saw a Treant sitting on the mountaintop sighing, his long legs rooted to the cliff face. In this way, he could retain his wisdom and not become confused when he transformed into human form.
Some species, once they fall from the extraordinary to the mundane, become somewhat tragic, reverting to their primitive state, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and completely losing their inherent spirituality.
On the massive black mountain, an Old Wolf howled at the setting sun, its voice filled with tragic grandeur. It had regressed from the Supernatural Domain to the realm of the Great Grandmaster, temporarily preserving the flame of its primordial spirit. If this continued, and its realm fell below the Grandmaster level, it felt it would be lost among the beasts of the mountains and forests.
An Old Ape was preaching, surrounded by a group of white-haired monkeys sitting on the ground. The atmosphere was oppressive, and some of the apes were shedding tears. Some of them could retain their spirituality, but most of their companions would revert to their wild beast state.
Some time ago, all sorts of sentient monsters and extraordinary species were frantically gathering herbs and devouring large quantities of spiritual objects, but what was bound to happen will happen eventually.
At night, Wang Xuan entered the core area of the secret realm, approaching the Immortal Lords' Cave Mansion, which was the area where the old fox lived.
He did not rush over, but instead used his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to observe quietly. This place was very different; it had an extremely powerful magic array and wisps of Super Material swirling around it.
There is a secret realm here. Even though the Super Material is receding, traces of mythology remain, like a miniature Immortal Realm covering the front and enveloping the mountains and forests.
"It can be considered a barrier, delaying the complete disintegration of Super Material. It is indeed extraordinary."
In the core area, all kinds of monsters roam freely. Some giant birds spread their wings, like a small patch of dark cloud, and are still very strong, almost approaching the level of the Carefree Journey.
There were also Flying Dragon soaring and roaring, stirring up the clouds and mist, as if venting their anger and resentment.
It is obvious that these monsters in the core area must have been very strong at first, but they have been weakening day by day.
Within the barrier, strange beasts emerged carrying medicinal herbs, distributing them to monsters in the surrounding area. In this cruel environment, a touch of warmth was revealed.
The barrier was vast, forming its own world. Even with Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he could only see through a certain distance and could not see through it completely. There were simply too many magic arrays and mountains, layer upon layer, obscuring his vision.
On the first day, he did nothing but quietly observe and study the situation. He did not see any familiar faces or anything unusual.
The next evening, the sky was ablaze with fiery clouds. A flash of golden light appeared within the barrier, like a streak of golden light streaking across the sky. It was... a tall, magnificent horse? Its mane flowed and shimmered like golden silk.
"Great Grandmaster Horse?!" Wang Xuan was slightly relieved. Since this thing was still alive and seemed to be in good condition, there shouldn't be any changes here.
"The Transcendent Immortals return to the Transcendent Immortals, the mortals return to the Horse Yi Xuan." The horse traversed the sky, flying through the barrier like lightning, performing a fighting technique.
What's its name? Wang Xuan was taken aback, then wanted to rush in and kill it!
A flock of birds of prey flew by, and the tall, golden horse strode through the air, even surpassing the birds in speed, and even stepping over their bodies.
It disappeared, and you could see it was frolicking and practicing its skills. It was already Supernatural Being, much stronger than before.
"Great Grandmaster Horse, you sycophant, are you looking for a beating?!" Wang Xuan stared at the spot, not going over, wanting to wait for it to reappear, preferably out.
He was wary of the old fox and hoped to first communicate with Great Grandmaster Horse to understand the situation inside the barrier.
Black Fox must have his own story. What does it mean that he won't let Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin come back? Is he just waiting for him to come and pick them up?
On the third day, Wang Xuan saw Great Grandmaster Horse again. This time, it did not rush past him. Instead, it walked with elegant steps, appearing to have a somewhat sacred charm.
It has changed from being pure white to being entirely golden, with its fur being extremely smooth and soft, shimmering like a mirror. Its pair of Jin Yu are very large, flowing with peaceful radiance, and are spotless.
A golden horn adorns its brow, surrounded by lightning runes, with flashes of lightning appearing and disappearing. It has fully evolved and mutated.
Ancient texts record that this is the Thunder Horn Heavenly Horse, whose combat power will be off the charts once it reaches its full potential. According to mythology, bodhisattvas and powerful deities would be overjoyed to obtain such a mount.
No matter how it transforms, in Wang Xuan's eyes, it's all the same. Even if it turns into a Qilin, he won't have much of an emotional reaction.
The main problem is that the creatures he encounters are all outrageous; Zhang Daoling could definitely kill a dragon by smashing it with a broken bronze mirror.
Soon, Wang Xuan saw just how pretentious Great Grandmaster Horse really was. He walked gracefully and with composure into the medicinal field at the edge of the barrier.
Then, it spread its large wings, as if swinging a large blade, and chopped down the medicinal herbs in one fell swoop, just like harvesting crops.
It is very picky, carefully selecting from all kinds of medicinal herbs before it will even take a bite.
"This is a bit outrageous. The Super Material outside is dry, and you're still complaining about this and that?" Wang Xuan stared at it, wanting to teach it a lesson about how to be a good horse by beating it.
Not long after, he put aside his prejudices. After Great Grandmaster Horse cut off a piece of the spiritual herb, he carried the herb outside the barrier and distributed it to the various spiritual beasts and monsters outside.
"Little colt!" Wang Xuan secretly transmitted his voice, calling it over. Of course, he also took care to hide his true appearance and spiritual aura, his whole body was enveloped in white mist.
Great Grandmaster Horse put down the elixir, suddenly looked up, his golden eyes wide open, and stared in this direction. Then, he suddenly performed a "Horse Trampling a Flying Swallow" maneuver, rushing over with a whoosh, and stomped his hoof towards Wang Xuan's face.
Wang Xuan's forehead veins throbbed; this horse was incredibly arrogant, and he wanted to kick it the moment they met.
