Gone for Over Two Thousand Years

Chen Yongjie was hesitant. Back then, during the battle on the Pamir Plateau, he risked his life without flinching. Now, he was filled with worry and did not want to leave at this time.

He quickly left a video message. If he had no other choice, he would have to go. But he wanted Guan Lin to know the cause and effect.

"It seems there's still time. Although there's a flow of light, there's no sign of it disappearing. Is this just the beginning?" He looked at his glowing body at night.

Suddenly, his expression froze, and then his heart surged with emotion. He was startled. The specks of light emanating from himself were very strange, with some familiar characteristics.

"Master!" He thought of the events from thirty years ago, the disappearance of his master in Mysterious Contact, and the aura he felt now.

It happened in the mountains, where a peaceful light covered the area. Those who went in disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a Black Sword, which is the weapon he uses now!

"My master went to fight across realms. Was he mistakenly drawn in back then, or was he inexplicably chosen?" Chen Yongjie's hesitation and unease vanished, replaced by a frightening look in his eyes. He... wanted to go!

Some time ago, he consulted Zhang Daoling and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor. They believed that the Mysterious Contact incident was related to the sudden descent of the miniature Immortal Realm. The light curtain could move, but they couldn't determine what was going on. Now they have the answer.

The reason why the patriarch-level figures cannot be identified is naturally because they are beyond the scope of the immortal realm they govern; they are outside the realm and related to other civilizations.

"This Black Sword once belonged to the Sword Immortal's mortal enemy, who wiped out her entire lineage. I'll go ask him if that enemy of hers has gone beyond the realms?"

Deep in the universe, within a secret realm, the lake shimmered, and the divine tree swayed its glistening petals. The atmosphere was harmonious, free from the fighting and killing.

The Supernatural Practitioner Yu Hua, Euler, and He Three Stars, even if they were dissatisfied, had no choice but to stand up again, as they might all be wiped out by that young man.

He can now converse with the unfathomable Black Fox of the Secret Realm, and do so with such calmness and composure—this is beyond their comprehension.

When he first came to the Secret Land, he was just a mortal, yet he was able to reach this point in such a short time.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten who I am. I've long been used to life in the secret place, all my former edges have been worn down, my passion has cooled, my spirit is half-rotten, I'm listless and have lost my fighting spirit." The old fox, dressed in coarse linen, stood up, looked up at the sky, and had a weathered and vicissitudes of life.

It stared into the deep space of the universe through the barrier, its gaze gradually becoming sharp, like the sound of swords clashing, and a beam of materialized light flew out, piercing through the barrier!

Everyone was moved, then shocked. Was he really an unparalleled powerhouse from the Immortal Realm, a supreme being at the Mutian level?!

Many people felt a chill run down their spines. The most powerful figures in the celestial realm were right beside them, living in the mortal world. Now that it has been confirmed, it's astonishing.

Then, people saw Wang Xuan stand up and stand with the old fox, still so peaceful and serene, which gave the people from the three Supernatural Planet a headache.

This alien, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest beings and personally reveal parts of the old fox's Roots, what kind of monster is he? And they had tried to destroy him time and time again before, they must be crazy.

For them, their earlier actions were like a crazy bungee jump at the entrance to hell, and now they are filled with fear and trepidation.

"My grandfather is a being at the Mutian level who can be called an ancestor?" The little fox demon was confused and dropped the pile of gifts she was holding to the ground.

"My grandfather... is a big shot in the immortal realm, someone who can write a legendary autobiography?!" Horse Chao Fan was shameless and excited, feeling his status skyrocket, and he was dizzy.

"Let's go, let's have a talk." Old Fox led Wang Xuan away from everyone else to a quiet room, completely isolated from the outside world.

"Who am I? Jiang Siyuan's master, a useless man who was powerless to protect his disciple back then, an old codger who died with regret!"

Old Fox was somewhat agitated, no longer so calm, like a meteorite falling into a still ancient well, splashing up huge waves.

Who is Jiang Siyuan? Soon, Wang Xuan found out from the old fox.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he felt somewhat incredulous. It was that "Giant Whale" who had opened the special Inner Scenery Realm, sacrificed his own life to save Fang Yuzhu.

"You seemed to be unknown back then..."

Upon hearing this, the old fox nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't have much fame back then because Siyuan surpassed me and was facing a Demon Emperor-level being. In that era, I, as his master, was the only one who reached the Celestial Immortal level!"

This is the terrifying aspect of someone who opened up special Inner Scenery Realm during their Mortal Period —they quickly surpassed their master.

"I watched my apprentice die tragically, but I was powerless to do anything about it. In the end, I was heartbroken and went to Higher Mental World to return to the human world."

The old fox looked sorrowful and wistful, as if he had reopened a wound in his heart, leaving it raw and bleeding. His voice was calm. "Returning to the mortal world is easier said than done. My journey has lasted for an unimaginable amount of time. During that time, I narrowly escaped death dozens or even hundreds of times, and got lost many times. It is a miracle that I was able to come back."

For the Transcendent Immortals to return to the mortal realm, they would need to pierce through the curtain with boundless magical power. This is an undesirable method, as it would have been far too difficult and extremely tragic in the past.

In other words, now that the Old Testament has loosened and mythology has gradually decayed, the immortals have begun to be able to cross realms, but at a great cost.

Another method is to enter Higher Mental World and seek the present world, which may be more secure. At least you won't die for a long time while on the road.

However, no one has been heard of ever actually coming back alive!

"I may be one of only three or four successful cases. But strangely, and mysteriously, my journey took more than two thousand years, which I find hard to believe. On the way, I broke through and became a master at the Mutian level. But after returning, I also paid a heavy price."

Wang Xuan listened in a daze. A journey home would take more than two thousand years?!

He couldn't help but think of the Demon Lord's parents, and the progenitor of the Mo Si lineage— the Demon Emperor. Had those three succeeded?

"It was unexpected and bizarre. In the Higher Mental World, I walked around and lost my physical body. My spirit floated up and then got lost. When I regained consciousness, I could feel the heartbeat of a fetus. I returned to the mother's body and then sank again, the Void."

The old fox's claim is indeed bizarre; there is no concept of reincarnation in this Mythological Era, and very few people believe in it.

"It wasn't until much later that I was revived. By then, I was a black fox, married and had children for many years, living in the secret realm. During this time, I was in a daze for many years, as if I saw a life that didn't belong to me, but rather a part of a fox's past. Then, I understood that I had experienced a reincarnation, but was lost for many years before finally awakening fully."

This is like a fairy tale. In the Supernatural World, even Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, the Demon Lord and others don't really believe in the idea of reincarnation. Possession and Seize Body are more reliable.

The old fox was walking in the Mental World when his physical body suddenly disappeared and his spirit went far away, which was quite unusual, almost like reincarnation!

So far, no other peerless masters have had this experience when exploring various methods of immortality.

"Did you awaken your past life memories after being reborn, or did your former Main Primordial Spirit revive after being dormant?" Wang Xuan asked.

"The physical body is reborn, and the spirit grows from weak to strong, which can also be considered a newborn primordial spirit. However, all my cultivation returned overnight after my awakening," the old fox said.

Wang Xuan was stunned. This was like reincarnation, or Seize Body, somewhere in between, and he couldn't quite explain it.

This path is quite remarkable. If it can continue even in Exhausted Era, and undergo multiple rebirths, wouldn't it be accumulating cultivation life after life, becoming stronger and stronger?

He quickly fell silent again. Was what the old fox said credible? Someone connected to the Giant Whale was actually born here, and he had never heard of such a person before.

The old fox now is equivalent to the return of the strongest!

Wang Xuan was suspicious. Was this part of the "I Have a Friend" story? Perhaps the old fox was Jiang Siyuan, the Giant Whale?

Another possibility is that the old fox is the ghost that helped Jiang Siyuan?

Wang Xuan didn't want to delve into it. As long as the old fox didn't target him or covet the Nurturing Life Furnace on his body, everything would be fine. He was only there to bring Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin home.

"Young friend, you have quite a few secrets." Black Fox looked at him.

Wang Xuan remained silent, sitting in the quiet room, staring at it. Could it be that the old fox had discovered him when he took the treasure back then?

The old fox spoke again, "The energy you used is close to real Super Material, which is very special. I came into contact with it for a period of time on my journey back to the Higher Mental World."

"I have obtained a portion of the Good Fortune True Crystal," Wang Xuan replied.

Old Fox changed the subject, saying, "There's been some misunderstanding, and I need to clarify that I didn't specifically choose husbands for Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin."

It was very direct, informing people of the situation: some time ago, the Brown Star in outer space was attacked, all the technological spaceships retreated, and there was a major war in the depths of the universe, so this path was suspected to be cut off.

It didn't hide anything and told Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin that they might not be able to go back, because under these circumstances, it was truly powerless to help them cross the star sea. After the transcendent decayed, it no longer had that power.

"I just told them that the worst-case scenario was that they would be stuck in the Mysterious Land forever. If that were the case, they would have to think more about the future. After the myths end, a person's life will be very short, less than a hundred years. Although they are still young, they should make plans early and consider their future path and life partners."

Recently, Yu Hua, Euler, and He Luo have been in close contact with Mi Di. They were discussing the situation after the decline of the extraordinary. Old Fox briefly mentioned that Mi Di has many monsters and few humans. If they want to consider the future and the second half of their lives, they may have to choose from these three Supernatural Planet.

"Recently, I've taken in two people, both quite extraordinary. One is a corpse that had been floating in outer space for many years, yet it came back to life. The other is born with an affinity for the Supernatural Rule. Would you like me to give you one as a disciple?" The old fox spoke, abruptly changing the subject.

Wang Xuan and the old fox left the quiet room together.

In the nearby Immortal Clan Courtyard, shrouded in white mist, Zhao Qinghan emerged after changing her clothes.

Seeing this, the old fox smiled and left first. Wang Xuan looked at her and walked forward.

The two had gone through many hardships together in the secret place last time, and it was hard to part when they separated. After more than half a year later, when they met again, Wang Xuan felt a little estranged after his emotions had completely calmed down.

She chose a new long dress with a cinched waist that accentuated her beautiful figure. She untied her ancient hairstyle, removed her jade hairpin, and let her long black hair fall naturally. Her fair, oval face appeared even more radiant and white as she embarked on the path of the extraordinary, and her beautiful eyes were clear and bright.

She is over 170 centimeters tall with a great figure. Normally, Zhao Qinghan appears somewhat aloof, but when she smiles, she is exceptionally sweet, with delicate features and an exceptionally beautiful appearance.

It's obvious that she perfectly fits modern aesthetic standards. In the words of her classmate Qin Cheng, every gesture and smile exudes Goddess- like charm.

Upon approaching, the two looked at each other. Having not seen each other for a long time, there seemed to be some distance between them. Wang Xuan thought about their relationship, which was somewhat consistent with her previous comments.
