Wang Xuan arrived at the spaceship's "Supernatural Power Room," where any Red Substance that might leak out could be isolated, extracted, and utilized.

In case of danger or accident, this compartment can be dismantled to ensure the overall safety of the spacecraft.

"Be careful, don't develop a mental breakdown!" Chen Yongjie warned.

Wang Xuan glared at him, but the previous seclusions were indeed dangerous. The Great Law of Mental Illness was really torturous, almost killing him. He had just dealt with a bunch of problems with his incarnations.

"You can still cause problems by training yourself?" Wu Yin asked with a smile.

"Is this a mental exercise? Should we put a calming talisman on your forehead first?" Zhao Qinghan said with a smile.

"You saw it when Wang Xuan fought the God of Light, right? You don't know the details. One person split into many spirits, some male and some female, so many strange things..." Qing Mu explained.

"Old Qing!" Wang Xuan sighed helplessly, then gave up, calmed down, and focused his mind on the earth, taking several important pieces of equipment with him as he set off.

As his strength increased and the effects of planting the celestial medicine became apparent, the time it took to reach his destination was greatly shortened. He arrived near the Silver Pool in less than three days.

This time, he wasn't there to undergo a hellish ordeal of self-immolation; his main purpose was to Steal Time and to traverse the meteorite passage.

Practicing in the Land of Nothingness is not as exaggerated as in the Inner Scenery Realm, but the mental activity is far more active than when meditating in the Real World.

The rough red cliffs overflowed with silvery immortal liquid, and the two Life Soil Mountain beside them were full of vitality.

On a hillside, the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine grows, its tendrils resembling coiled dragons. Beneath its white leaves, red thorns are hidden, and white mist swirls around it, mixed with Red Substance.

"Do the Super Material absorbed by the leaves and thorns correspond to the immortal liquid in the Silver Pool and the Red Substance in the distance, respectively?" Wang Xuan pondered. Even this celestial herb was gradually adapting, and he believed that as time went on, he would also be able to fully absorb the Red Substance.

Another Life Soil Mountain is adjacent to the pond, where the Immortal Tea Tree are growing vigorously, lush and verdant, with tea fruits of various colors swaying and shimmering, carrying a faint fragrance.

Once here, Wang Xuan relaxed and had plenty of time to think about cultivation. The Nurturing Life Furnace wasn't large, about the size of two fists put together.

He brewed a pot of immortal tea, and wisps of white steam rose up. Smelling the aroma of the tea, he quietly pondered and gazed at the road ahead. If he wanted to enter the realm of Carefree Journey, he could do so at any time.

Breaking through the Thirteen Stages is incredibly difficult, but he is willing to choose this extremely challenging path, and he can embark on the Carefree Journey and ease whenever he wants.

As for the Thirteen Stages, if you miss it, you lose it forever and can never make up for it.

"I hope that the Golden Cicada Technique Ant Gazing at Dragon Chapter can help me achieve Nirvana, a comprehensive upgrade, and break through that terrifying barrier."

Next, he used the active spiritual senses here to comprehend several strange scriptures and began a solitary journey of cultivation, completely isolating himself from the outside world.

He spends most of his time sitting cross-legged under the tea tree, occasionally touching the Red Substance to experience the unusual and wonderful aspects of practicing with different Super Material.

"The materials here are even closer to Real Substance than in the Inner Scenery Realm, but the Steal Time effect is not as good."

About two years later, Wang Xuan got up, ended his Steal Time cultivation, and headed to the meteorite passage to see if he could pass through it. This was the main event of his trip.

In just one day, he traveled from the Immortal Tea Tree to the location of the enormous meteorite, which seemed to cover the sky, boundless and endless.

A luminous channel, red smoke, fine granular crystals, and firelight occasionally surged out from there along with the Light Mist, making it unbearably hot.

Upon arriving here, Wang Xuan became cautious. He hadn't forgotten that when his mind split into many avatars, there had been faint and mournful howls emanating from this place.

"Is that an illusion, or is there really something there?" he wondered. This was absurd. How could a monster appear in a place that belonged to him alone?

He believes there are three possibilities: one is a spiritual clone, a fish that slipped through the net, and another one is still lurking here, undiscovered.

If that's the case, it's quite frightening. Back then, when Fang Yuzhu, the Demon Lord, Old Zhang, and others were having a joint consultation, didn't they notice that clone?

The second possibility is that it's that demonic flower causing trouble again, deliberately tempting him, determined to drive him to the brink of madness, making him question the meaning of life and unwilling to accept defeat.

If a third possibility exists, that would be quite frightening: something from a real source came from above the meteorite passage.

The last time he came here, he didn't enter the meteorite passage because he realized there was a problem here and felt that it might be dangerous to rush in.

Now that he has reached the end of the Twelve Stage Domain and has truly mastered the Nurturing Life Furnace, he needs to investigate further. Otherwise, if he continues to let trouble ensue here, it will be difficult to enter the Misty Land in the future.

Before setting off, he went to the cave he had dug and took a look at the Cactus Heavenly Medicine, which was growing very well and was about to bloom.

"Oh, kid, you're finally here! Take me out of here, I can't take it anymore!" Here are a few pages of the Book of Years, crying out in anguish.

"Let me tell you, this Mental Illness is unbearable. It's affecting the stability of my Dao Heart. If I stay with it any longer, I'll really go crazy!" It thrashed about there, with a few pages of the Book of Years tucked between them, containing the paper that contained the Great Law of Mental Illness.

"I think you're not normal to begin with, so it's good for you to keep it company." Wang Xuan had no intention of granting its wish.

"No! Take me away! This Mental Illness is bad enough, but there are also vengeful ghosts outside, constantly lurking around. They're terrifying me! They can eat books! I surrender, I only beg you to take me with you!" it trembled as it pleaded.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Was there really a creature causing trouble here, or was it just his imagination?

"Are you hallucinating? Is there actually no real vengeful ghost?"

The Book of Years cried out, "You're the one hallucinating! I'm not split in two, nor am I Mental Illness. How could my senses be wrong? There's definitely a big problem here, seriously affecting me."

"Then you can stay here and have a good chat with it." Wang Xuan refused to take it away.

The Book of Years made a condition, saying, "Then you must complete me. There are only a few pages left, and I, in my incomplete state, don't have much power!"

"You stay here!" How could Wang Xuan possibly complete it? The origin of this thing was questionable, and it was better to disassemble it for now.

He asked many questions and left the place with doubts.

As Wang Xuan entered the passage, he found a book in animal hide and Nurturing Life Furnace, which made him much more composed and calm. On this Meteorite Road, where Red Mist surged and lightning flashed, his primordial spirit suffered excruciating pain; every time he came here, it was torture.

However, he is now much stronger than before, and his endurance has increased dramatically. Instead of hiding in the Nurturing Life Furnace, he directly endures the pain and moves forward.

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out right beside his ear, echoing deep into his soul. Although it was his primordial spirit, he felt a chill run down his spine, his whole body electrified, and goosebumps rose on his skin.

Without even turning his head, Wang Xuan kicked backward like a scorpion swishing its tail.

With a bang, he encountered an obstacle, his foot throbbing with pain; a creature had forcefully blocked his path.

In the instant he turned around, he saw a pale face disappear into the mist and then vanish into the distance, disappearing into the invisible, blurry passage.

"There really is something!" Wang Xuan was shocked. In the unbearably hot passage, he felt a chill coming from his back. The creature was dangerous.

He took a deep breath, and his primordial spirit turned red. He was in excruciating pain because the area was full of Red Substance. However, his endurance was increasing, and he was able to withstand it.

"I have to catch it and find out what kind of creature it is!" He rushed forward and gave chase.

Bang!

Suddenly, the thing, like a vengeful ghost, leaped down from the rough meteorite wall, blurry yet powerful, like a cloud of smoke, and pounced on Wang Xuan.

In an instant, Wang Xuan used all his skills and clashed with it hundreds of times. He was in excruciating pain. The That Monster was ridiculously powerful and was on par with him, and it was resisting him head-on!

"Boom!"

Wang Xuan skipped over the God Slaying Banner and directly used the Nurturing Life Furnace, intending to use this supreme treasure to capture it!

"Aww!"

The piercing howl actually resonated in people's hearts, causing Wang Xuan's spirit to waver for a moment, making him feel dazed. This was somewhat terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

He activated the Nurturing Life Furnace, causing it to roar, while the monster disappeared into the stone wall once more.

The Nurturing Life Furnace vibrated, and powerful ripples expanded, causing the seemingly indestructible meteorite wall to shed powder and crack continuously, exploding all the way down, with many huge rocks falling.

This was much less strenuous than digging the tunnel with Iron Stake. A treasure is a treasure, causing the meteorite tunnel to continuously Stone Skin and various rocks to tumble about.

At the same time, he realized that this meteorite, which was as huge as the sky, was indeed amazing and too hard. Even the treasure could only chip away at the rocks in the passage, rather than smash it apart.

Wang Xuan set off again, wielding his most precious treasure, ready to unleash devastation at any moment. He was wrapped in Silver Beast Skin Book and a gold animal hide with holes in it.

Suddenly, another piercing howl rang out. This creature, like a vengeful ghost in the dead of night, could affect a person's mind and slow down their movements.

Wang Xuan was fully prepared and wanted to use his supreme treasure to destroy it, but his actions were affected by the repeated mental howls.

Most importantly, this thing appeared and disappeared without a trace. The moment it uttered its first cry, it suddenly appeared on Wang Xuan's head, burrowing into his scalp through the gaps in the animal hide. It was icy cold and seemed to want to enter his body!

What kind of monster is this? It moves too fast. Even someone as strong as Wang Xuan is having a headache and finds it extremely troublesome. If anyone else had come here, they would have been dead long ago.

Even the most powerful divine avatars are no match for this place!

At the critical moment, his body glowed, and the God Slaying Banner hidden in his primordial spirit burst forth from his body, slamming into the That Monster and sending it flying. The monster, which was holding a tree branch, broke into pieces, taking the blame for the monster.

Once it left his body, things would be much easier. He quickly vibrated the Nurturing Life Furnace, determined to extinguish it and not give it a chance. This thing was far too malevolent.

The That Monster transformed into a rain of light, vanished with a whoosh, and reappeared near the demonic flower above.

"This is a bit scary. It's no weaker than me. It survived a hit from the God Slaying Banner." Wang Xuan realized the seriousness of the situation. If they really went all out in the fight, this monster was no less formidable than him.

At the same time, he realized that what the monster had been holding was a withered branch of the demon flower, which he had found near that plant.

"Demon Flower, is it you who caused this trouble?" Wang Xuan felt it was unlikely. This time, he was holding a complete treasure, and his spirit was perfect, without any split or falling into an illusion.

At the very least, after his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and the foundation of the twelfth level were combined, he did not sense any life-threatening danger from the demonic flower; the only hidden danger was that unknown creature.

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan used his most precious treasure to unleash a devastating attack. This time, the attack also affected the demonic flower, causing it to tremble and shake violently. Its snow-white petals were incredibly crystalline, as if they were about to scatter across the sky.

A massive meteorite fell, causing the passage to collapse. The Flower of Eternal Life immortality was even stronger than the meteorite; after being impacted, part of its roots were exposed, but it did not disintegrate immediately.

As Wang Xuan approached, he activated his treasure once more, causing the meteorites to fall even more violently, and the seemingly sacred demonic flower appeared to be about to fall.

But at that moment, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if a great disaster was about to befall him. He immediately combined his Spiritual Heavenly Eye with his twelve levels of foundational knowledge to detect the malice lurking in the shadows.

He received a warning and saw a blurry image. It seemed that if the entire place collapsed and the plant fell off, the Land of Nothingness might be torn apart, and something terrible was about to happen.

Wang Xuan immediately stopped, feeling a chill run down his spine. This demonic flower was of great importance, capable of affecting the stability of the entire Misty Land.

For a moment, he was at his wit's end. Could it really be some kind of Vision Flower, an eternal dream of immortality that would never fade in his heart? He dared not touch it.

Wang Xuan avoided the flower and went straight to chase the creature.

This time, it was wary and, without looking back, rushed towards the top of the meteorite passage.

Wang Xuan chased after it until he could no longer bear the burning sensation and was about to be consumed by flames. Only then did he enter the Nurturing Life Furnace and use it to pursue the unknown creature.

"Awooo..." In fact, the That Monster couldn't hold on any longer either. It was being burned to the point of disintegration. They had gone too far and were already far away from where the demon flower was.

It burrows into the meteorite wall, but is instantly forced out, from which even more intense Red Mist rises, accompanied by the light of thunder.

"You can't escape!" Wang Xuan pursued it relentlessly. He had to catch it; this thing was dangerous and powerful, and he didn't know its origins. He couldn't let it cause trouble here.

Whoosh whoosh!

However, it continued to flee upwards. Could it really have come from the True Source?

But how could it outrun the Nurturing Life Furnace? This treasure wasn't known for its speed, but it far surpassed other rare treasures, arriving before it in an instant.

At this moment, it was in a terrible state; its body was a blur, almost burned to pieces, and its face was pale and indistinct.

Wang Xuan waved the God Slaying Banner, wrapped it up, and captured it alive!

It's the last day of the month. Book lovers who still have monthly tickets, please don't forget to cast them. Thank you.
