The gourds that grow from the Chaos Immortal Vine on Mount Buzhou are so famous in the Immortal Realm that very few people have ever encountered them, let alone possessed them.

That Higher Mental World produces wondrous things, but it is also terrifyingly dangerous; even unparalleled masters dare not easily venture into its uninhabited areas.

The Sword Immortal successfully found and brought back a Purple Gourd, which was filled with chaotic energy. This was an absolutely priceless treasure, more precious than many Peerless Exotic Treasure.

"Here you go!" Seeing Wang Xuan lost in thought, she reached out and handed him the gourd again. The word "here" was simple and pure, and there was no other emotion on her beautiful face.

This is a true fairy, untouched by worldly concerns, pure and with a heart yearning for the Tao. Her Ice Skin, Jade Bones as clear as jade, untouched by the dust of the world. She seems to transcend the world, or perhaps she is someone who can only appear in a painting.

Wang Xuan came to his senses and said, "Ah, no need. I have all sorts of rare items. You went through a lot of trouble and risked a lot to pick this gourd. You can keep it for yourself."

"You're a bit slow," the Sword Immortal said, looking at him. This young man's personality didn't match what the Little Thing had described to her.

Wang Xuan: "..."

In his eyes, the miniature version of the Sword Immortal was adorable, while the adult Sword Immortal was proud and a pure cultivator, even somewhat naive.

As a result, she turned around and called him stupid!

The Sword Immortal laughed, her beautiful face, pure smile, and clear eyes as refreshing as snow piled on flowering trees.

"I am not suited to treasures crafted from such rare materials." Saying this, she turned her head and gestured for him to look at the immortal sword on her back, saying, "Look, I only need this immortal sword."

Then, she placed the renowned gourd, picked from the uninhabited area of Mount Buzhou, into Wang Xuan's hand.

"Alright, I also have something to give you," Wang Xuan said. He had come prepared to see the Sword Immortal, and he took out a silver longsword.

This is a weapon seized from Super Peerless evil dragon, a terrifying immortal sword capable of briefly freezing time and space. Its original owner was a top- Transcendent Immortals.

He had already used his Supreme Treasure Nurturing Life Furnace to erase all traces left by others, so this item was now ownerless.

"The Time-Severing Sword? I like it very much, but it's too precious. I don't have any other rare items to give you for the time being," the Sword Immortal said.

She knew that Wang Xuan seemed to lack nothing, possessing all kinds of scriptures. The Little Thing was delighted when communicating with her, and in return, it sent a bunch of scriptures into the curtain, saying that they were all transmitted by Wang Xuan.

"Don't mention it, I have all kinds of weapons." This time, he directly handed the sword to the Sword Immortal and asked with a smile, "Do you use a knife? I also have a golden longsword, its quality is amazing, no weaker than this sword."

"I don't want the long sword." The Sword Immortal shook her head, then took the immortal sword without hesitation, saying, "Then I'll help you slay a few more major enemies in the future."

It was clear she liked it very much. She drew her silver-white immortal sword, its gleaming blade reflecting her beautiful, flawless face, and smiled as she began to refine it.

She took out the immortal sword she carried on her back. This sword, which she had nurtured for five hundred years, was the weapon that helped her break through to the highest level and had long since become Peerless Exotic Treasure.

She had been stuck at the Eleventh Stage of the Feathered Great Realm for a long time, suppressing herself for so many years, constantly nurturing her sword, all in order to break through the shackles in one fell swoop and break through the barriers one after another.

The two swords were placed together, attracted to each other, and then merged, emitting a brilliant celestial light. The sword of the Sword Immortal was actually absorbing the rules and patterns of the Time-Severing Sword and its supreme profound meaning, wanting to make it her own.

"What is this...?" Wang Xuan was taken aback. He noticed that the silver-white immortal sword had dimmed and shortened, as if something had been absorbed from it.

"Nurturing the sword, my sword was originally just an ordinary iron sword. However, after I nourished it with sword energy and continuously incorporated various rare items, it continued to transform. Later, it was even able to directly draw essence from its other weapons to make up for its own shortcomings."

Wang Xuan was deeply surprised. After a brief chat with her, he learned a lot about her past.

The town not far away has cobblestone streets and a river flowing through it. The population is not large. At this time, many people know what they are going to face. The whole town, the whole world, seems gloomy and lifeless.

Absorbing and fusing the renowned Time-Severing Sword naturally takes time. The Immortal Realm, with its interwoven Supreme Rule, is the most suitable place for this, but it would be much more difficult in the mortal world.

"Perfect timing. I was planning to take a stroll in the Immortal Realm to see if there are any local specialties I can buy to take back," Wang Xuan said. He really did want to take a trip.

This is the celestial realm! Who doesn't dream of becoming an immortal? But their generation was born at the wrong time. Just as they stepped into the extraordinary realm, their lives were about to end.

Even the celestial realm is about to be destroyed and extinguished. This was unthinkable in the past, and there was no such thing in human myths and legends. This era has undoubtedly overturned our understanding.

Since I can't become an immortal and can't stay here forever, I'll take one last look at its magnificent landscape and infinitely beautiful scenery.

"Alright, I'll take you for a walk and show you the Immortal Realm. I'm actually quite reluctant to leave, after all, I've lived here for many years," the Sword Immortal said.

She placed the two immortal swords side by side, embraced them, and let her swords absorb the rules and patterns, and the sword nurturing was already underway automatically.

With a peerless master by his side, There Are Supreme Treasures within Wang Xuan's body, and the evil dragon gone, the current immortal realm poses little danger to him if he is careful.

The two traveled far away, soaring into the sky, flying over the boundless earth, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers, and appreciating the boundless scenery of the immortal realm. This beautiful landscape was indeed hard to bear, as it faded away and eventually died as a whole.

Seeing that many people in the towns, though alive, seemed numb, both Wang Xuan and the Sword Immortal felt heavy-hearted and lost the desire to travel further.

"Recently, many extraordinary individuals will be sent out to various Supernatural Planet, but ultimately many will remain. The Immortal Realm is vast, with many curtains and countless living beings..."

The Sword Immortal informed them that various sects had recently made some moves, and after discussions, they were diverting people out of the country. After communicating with various Supernatural Planet, they planned to send a portion of their people out.

"Qingqiu, are you really going to marry the person you hate the most? Didn't you say..."

"Love can't save lives, it can't feed us, I need to live. The number of spots for leaving is getting smaller and smaller. It's okay for high-level cultivators, but we're only at the Carefree Journey level, we're still far from the Master of Nurturing Life level, and the normal channels won't take us away."

Along the way, there were many such scenes and moments that made people stop and admire them. As the immortal realm was about to decay, all sorts of stories were unfolding.

There are also siblings who depend on each other for survival, showing humility towards one another, each wanting the other to get the only spot so they can stay.

There are also elderly parents kneeling outside large religious temples, begging for a pass for their children to leave alive.

At such times, the Sword Immortal would step in and negotiate with the major sects to allow them to bring more people. But could she manage one person, ten people, or a hundred people, or even tens of millions?

"I have the will, but I'm powerless." Wang Xuan was also in a bad mood. He wanted to leave, unable to bear witnessing all of this.

It is said that the collapse of the supernatural world is the arrival of the worst era. However, compared to the life and death separations in the Great Barrier, people in the Real World are like living in paradise.

"Being born into this world should be enough. Looking at other people's stories, their sorrows and hardships, it's like a world in a painting, but they are all really happening."

"It's you, the youngest Quasi-Peerless, Jiang Qingyao!" While touring a magnificent waterfall complex, a gray-haired person emerged from a black pool. She was clearly a demon, and her demonic aura soared into the sky, tearing through the heavens.

Wang Xuan only just learned of the Sword Immortal's name; he had never asked before. He muttered to himself, "A Qingyao figure, her name is beautiful."

Sword Immortal Jiang Qingyao glared at him, then looked at the tall man holding the knife and said, "You are the Demon Ancestor's eldest disciple, what's your name?"

Sword Immortal, known as the Number One Person of recent times and the strongest rising swordswoman in eight hundred years, naturally has enemies and adversaries, and the person in front of you is one of them.

This is the eldest disciple of the Demon Ancestor, known as the First Demon Saint, and one of the most promising figures to become an unparalleled powerhouse. However, since ancient times, it has been said that he is not necessarily stronger than the rising star Jiang Qingyao.

"Since we've met by chance, let's have a friendly spar." The First Demon Saint charged forward, unleashing an endless waterfall, with all the water flowing backward toward the sky.

The overwhelming demonic aura shattered the clouds in the sky and obscured the sun, revealing his warlike nature and immense strength, almost reaching the level of a peerless master.

Unfortunately, he encountered the Sword Immortal, who had broken through the shackles with the Eleventh Stage of Feather Transformation and stood in the peerless realm. With a light flick of her finger, sword light rained down, and the man was instantly covered in blood with a "poof," his body and primordial spirit nearly disintegrating, falling into a deep pool and never to emerge again.

"Should we kill it? It looks like a dragon. The meat must be pretty good, right?" Wang Xuan asked, as he was in dire need of local specialties.

Beneath the deep pool, the Demon Saint felt a chill run down his spine!

Sword Immortal shook her head and said, "Forget it, I haven't heard of him doing anything heinous. Let's spare his life. Besides, he's so old, his flesh is tough and not tasty."

The demon saint trembled with fear, then his anger turned to chills.

The two walked away.

"Do you know Qi Tian's lair? Let's go to his Dojo and see what we can get." Wang Xuan was unwilling to give up, feeling that since he was here, he should at least try to get something out of his enemy.

"Extremely dangerous. His level of cultivation Super Peerless; he can trace the source and find out who did it." Sword Immortal Jiang Qingyao shook her head.

"It's alright, I have some good stuff here." Wang Xuan took out two suits of armor, made of exquisite materials, including the roots of demonic flowers from the Land of Nothingness and Good Fortune True Crystal. The last time he came to the Immortal Realm to kill Zheng Yuantian and dig up Heng Jun's First Immortal Tea, he wore this kind of armor.

However, that one was destroyed, so this one was reforged. This time, he was well-prepared. After Wang Xuan explained in detail, the Sword Immortal, being a woman of action, said, "Let's go!"

She was beautiful and refined, Clear and Transcendent, but she was decisive in her actions. She took Wang Xuan with her, and they flew side by side directly to Qi Tian's current cave.

After being resurrected, Qi Tian was full of confidence and was not afraid of any challenge. With the There Are Supreme Treasures in hand, he was fearless and no longer hid his cave.

Half a day later, the Sword Immortal and Wang Xuan, anonymously concealing their true identities, stormed in and robbed Qi Tian's cave, filling it with all sorts of strange items and Blessed Land Fragment.

Finally, when they couldn't fit any more, the Sword Immortal and Wang Xuan worked together to refine the Purple Gourd, using its enormous space to empty the entire cave.

"Besides rare treasures, scriptures, and weapons, he even has True Dragon Meat, roc meat, Undying Bird, and all kinds of fine wines. It's truly extravagant."

Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise that all the local specialties he wanted were there. Qi Tian's cave dwelling had such a rich collection that it had everything.

Sword Immortal nodded and said, "Of course, Qi Tian hosts a banquet to entertain guests and recruit followers, there must be appropriate socializing. At that level, how can ordinary delicacies be presentable? Naturally, they are all top-notch, and the wines are also the finest nectar, rare and divine products."

As she spoke, she ate a skewer of roasted prawn meat, looking very satisfied. She said, "It's been a long time since I've had this. My cooking skills are excellent. The outer skin is crispy, and the inside is soft and tender. It's delicious."

Wang Xuan said, "Since your skills are so good, it would be a waste not to grill a few more skewers for me. Come on, keep grilling. Hmm, let's have a drink to celebrate our upcoming escape from the cage of the Great Curtain."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Let's pack our things and get out of here. We need to leave." The Sword Immortal suddenly became a little nervous, and her previously playful and otherworldly face was now filled with seriousness.

Then, she took Wang Xuan and ran away, fleeing all the way to the Darkness Zone on the edge of the immortal realm.

Boom!

In the distance, terrifying blood energy surged into the sky, and blinding sword light tore through the heavens. The scene was so horrifying and unprecedented that even Wang Xuan was stunned.

"He is practicing his sword a hundred thousand miles away from us. The blood energy and sword light he naturally exudes can kill any enemy. The place where he stands is a forbidden zone. No one dares to approach him. Even a peerless expert would die if he went there," the Sword Immortal said.

"That madman from ancient times?" Wang Xuan immediately thought of this person. It was rumored that he had long ago refined the supreme treasure - the World-Crossing Sword, but he left it to roam freely outside.

In fact, his recent record proved this point; he was terrifyingly powerful.

The two founders of the Gouchen Imperial Palace and Supernatural Palace were both Super Peerless masters. Relying on the blood and scriptures left behind by their the Vanished Super Civilization, they approached and obtained the Carefree Boat and the Ascension Banner. However, despite wielding these treasures and leading a large number of powerful warriors to besiege them, they were still defeated and driven away by that Ancient Madman alone. During their escape, Zhen Chao, Progenitor of the Supernatural Palace, was ambushed by the Evil Dragon Qi Tian, who stole the Ascension Banner.

"Why is he so strong? What is his identity and background?" Wang Xuan asked.

"It has a great history and has lived for an extremely long time. Back then, it dared to challenge the first person to open up special Inner Scenery Realm..."
