Evil Dragon Shows His Hand

"Xiong Er, I will pass on to you a copy of the 'Reception Sutra.' If there is any danger or unusual event, immediately recite the sutra and call upon the two of us!" Wang Xuan instructed.

"Be serious, and I'll promote you to Xiong San later," Jiang Qingyao said with a smile.

The two sat down cross-legged and set off. The Sword Immortal's primordial spirit entered Wang Xuan's life soil and, carried by Wang Xuan, plunged down into the thick life soil below.

"The Earth of Fate is extremely mysterious, even terrifying. If ordinary people try to delve into it, they are destined to get lost and never reach the end," the Sword Immortal said.

Now she was fearless and full of curiosity, wanting to see Wang Xuan's secret. She came with Damaged Supreme Treasure and traveled on her sword, no slower than Wang Xuan.

Finally, they entered the Land of Nothingness. Looking at the vast, dark world that resembled the boundless universe, Jiang Qingyao was shocked. Was this what the land beneath her life was like? It was truly possible to travel through time.

"It's like a universe without stars, pitch black, deathly silent, and boundless. Standing here, I feel like an insignificant speck of dust, so tiny in the face of the eternal night."

This is how the Sword Immortal felt, holding the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword, scanning the Misty Land.

"It's not completely silent. Look over there, they're coming soon." Wang Xuan pointed in the direction. In this dark world, every once in a while, Red Substance would surge and ripple across the void.

Sure enough, the intense light, as crimson as blood and as magnificent as the sunset, roared like thunder and illuminated the dark void.

"Let's go, I'll take you for tea. Don't worry about not having enough time here. Seven days in the 'Outside Cave' is equivalent to a 'thousand-year' in this world. It's very mysterious."

Wang Xuan led her to the Silver Pool, where there was Life Soil Mountain, a Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine, and the First Immortal Tea, both of which had mutated.

"This is Heng Jun's tea tree. He really is a good person." Jiang Qingyao said with a surprised look, "This Immortal Tea Tree may transform from a celestial medicine into True Medicine!"

Wang Xuan said, "Heng Jun died a terrible death. He died suddenly. I suspect that the madman chopped off his arm, causing him to lose the Ascension Banner. After all, he still possessed a supreme treasure. It would be difficult for other supreme experts to harm him."

The Nurturing Life Furnace was burning with Red Substance, and the aroma of tea wafted from it. The two drank tea, and Wang Xuan explained the situation here to her in detail.

Jiang Qingyao naturally didn't just sit there idly, as that wouldn't suit her free-spirited personality. She had already used the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword to guide the Red Substance, refine it, and study it.

"Extremely destructive Super Material, comparable to rare Energy Substance extracted from Higher Mental World, and most importantly, there's a huge quantity of it here!"

She nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling, but then she frowned. This affinity between the Super Material and the primordial spirit was not good enough and could easily backfire on her!

"This is indeed a big problem. The places we are going to next are even more dangerous. Every time I go there, I am burned to the point of almost dying. I am trying to adapt to the Red Substance."

Wang Xuan even believed that if his primordial spirit could adapt to this Super Energy Substance, there would be little resistance to the absorption and refinement of his other energies.

When that time comes, even in the Era of Eternal Silence of mythology, he will have an inexhaustible Super Material for his own use and will not become a mortal.

"Go take a bath," Wang Xuan said with a smile, gesturing to the rough-walled pool next to him, where silvery immortal liquid steamed, looking quite sacred.

"Looking for a beating again?" The Sword Immortal glared at him.

Wang Xuan said, "I'm not joking. This is a good thing. It can transform one's primordial spirit and elevate the Essence of Life. The first few times are the most effective."

Thump!

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Qingyao had already entered the pool, holding the broken treasure, and let out a comfortable hum, immediately settling into a Hot Spring state.

"Bring some tea over." Here, she was very relaxed, not at all like an otherworldly fairy, but rather a little lazy, ordering Wang Xuan around.

A pot of celestial tea, its delicate fragrance nourishing the spirit, floated past.

"Wow, my primordial spirit is really about to transform! What a wonderful pool and tea! It's a perfect place to nurture immortality." She exclaimed with delight.

Like Wang Xuan before her, her primordial spirit shed its skin, and her Mental Power increased significantly. The effect was immediate, and her cultivation was steadily growing!

Soon after, the two entered the meteorite passage. When the Sword Immortal saw the demonic flower for the first time, she was also stunned, as the demonic flower was trying to interfere with her mind.

"Clang!"

The Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword hummed softly, automatically unsheathing itself and emitting a purple glow that repelled some invisible secret force. A ball of purple light protected the Sword Immortal.

"This actually works? It's automatically protecting its owner?" Wang Xuan was surprised. Then, he looked down at the Nurturing Life Furnace. This thing had never actively communicated with him.

Jiang Qingyao nodded with a smile, "Of course, my original immortal sword has completely merged with it. That was a Supreme God and Saint artifact that I had refined for eight hundred years. It is inseparable from me."

"These meteorites are quite good; they are harder than many divine artifacts and can solve part of the material problem for the First Killing Array." With her keen senses, she noticed the unusual nature of the meteorites.

"That's right, I had the same idea. When we leave, we'll dig up a portion of it." Wang Xuan nodded. However, the First Killing Array requires various materials, and we can only solve the Exotic Divine Stone part here.

Soon after, Jiang Qingyao experienced what it meant to Body Burning Flames, to feel both alive and dead. Even someone as strong as her, who had cultivated for so many years, could not endure it during her progress.

The two had no choice but to hide inside the furnace and enter the Vast Rosy Clouds above, where they began their cultivation.

In a daze, it seemed as if decades or even centuries had passed. Wang Xuan's eyes shone brightly. He was certain that his External Primordial Spirit was indeed decaying and could not be completely restored.

He must have surpassed his original realm and reached the Fourteen-Stage Domain, right? However, he is stuck in a stalemate, unable to achieve perfection or take another step forward.

"Should I wait for the External Primordial Spirit and mythology to decay and fall off automatically, or should I sever the external primordial spirit myself now?" Wang Xuan frowned; this was a difficult choice.

He didn't dare to act rashly, thinking it was better to let things take their Internal New Primordial Spirit to be born naturally, because he was afraid that any accident would lead to Self-Destruction!

In the first forty years, Jiang Qingyao gained a great deal. Here, she used Red Substance to temper her primordial spirit, which allowed her cultivation to advance to a new level.

In addition to the Red Substance, there were other particles of True Energy, as well as inexplicable Daoist charm, and she was actively approaching the demonic flower to temper her primordial nerves.

In the decades that followed, the effects slowed down, mainly because the place was no longer suitable for her.

"I have to leave. The terrible omens recorded in the ancient books are about to appear. The 'uniqueness' of the Destiny Earth is manifesting, and my mental state is not right." The Sword Immortal was very vigilant. At the slightest discomfort, she realized what was happening and did not linger here for the precious time of cultivation.

This kind of place is not suitable for outsiders to stay. If they stay for too long, they will either be replaced by outsiders or the original owner will merge with the outsiders.

"Let's go!" Wang Xuan's expression changed slightly. He took her away immediately, no longer caring about collecting meteorites.

After escaping the meteorite passage, the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword And Nurturing Life Furnace resonated, and the two supreme treasures transformed into streams of light, rapidly escaping and distorting spacetime.

They returned to the Real World, opened their eyes, and Wang Xuan was full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit and vitality, with another layer of Charred Substance peeling off his body.

The Sword Immortal was in a daze; she had indeed been impacted to some extent and it took her more than an hour to recover.

"It was really dangerous. I almost got lost in your life soil and nearly disappeared there, merging into the void!" Jiang Qingyao said, still shaken.

However, she soon became pleased with herself again. Being a natural optimist, she laughed and said, "My cultivation has improved a lot. This is Decay Era, yet I have actually risen against the tide. My main body now has the power of the fifth level of the Carefree Journey in the present world."

The sixth level of the Carefree Journey is the Earth Immortal level, and she is only one level away from achieving that.

Furthermore, the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword was completely refined by her, becoming one with her mind and able to be used as if it were her own arm. With just a thought, the Damaged Supreme Treasure could unleash World-Shaking Strike.

"Give me your Inner Scenery Treasure. I'm going to collect meteorites later, and I'll bring out various Super Material for you while I'm at it," Wang Xuan said.

In these extraordinary times, no one knows whether the Land of Nothingness will be accessible again after the myths end. He also needs to prepare various contingency plans and get ready for "winter".

Next, Wang Xuan traveled through the Land of Nothingness, mining Meteorite Fragment, collecting Super Material, and planting celestial medicines.

In his life-giving soil, there are three Heavenly Medicines, one of which shines with silver light. It originated from Zheng Yuantian, Old Zheng originally gave it to Zheng Wu, allowing him to Seize Body Wang Xuan's body and plant the great herb.

This is a miracle cure sent to us by the enemy!

Another plant was transformed from the Wooden Tray that the Nurturing Life Furnace had previously pressed down at the bottom. It sprouted, revived, and grew several Zi Ying leaves.

The other one comes from the Mental World corresponding to the depths of outer space of Old Earth, belonging to the Super Civilization where the Dao Control Banner is located.

When Wang Xuan first saw this herb, it was already withered, with only the root remaining, and it was nailed to the ground with Iron Stake. There were several other medicinal plants in that area, and they were all alive, without suffering such confinement and punishment. Only this one was the most special.

Wang Xuan's Cactus Heavenly Medicine and Chen Yongjie's herb that resembled Red Coral were both found there.

The two suspected that the dried roots nailed to the Iron Stake might be beyond the category of natural medicine and were actually True Medicine.

"This thing should still be alive!" Wang Xuan was most concerned about the Withered Root Tendrils, which he had placed in the Nurturing Life Furnace for a long time, and it seemed to have regained some vitality.

Not long after, he planted Zheng Yuantian's great medicine by the Silver Pool and also placed the purple heavenly medicine that had been revived at the Nurturing Life Furnace.

Finally, he threw the dried-up medicinal root directly into the shimmering, silvery Immortal Pool.

Several days later, Wang Xuan and the Sword Immortal worked together to refine the stones and other materials collected from the meteorite passage, along with those rare treasures, and were able to set up a simplified version of the First Killing Array.

"You only realize how little you have when you need it; there's still something lacking," Wang Xuan sighed. They had been watching this world closely; the Immortal Realm had dimmed, and the Great Barrier was also drying up.

This Mythological Era could end at any moment!

It may take a few more days, or it may be today. No one can say for sure when it will arrive, but everyone knows that the Supernatural Winter will be here soon!

Two days later, Xiong Er's expression changed. He received a mysterious signal, and then, enemy traces appeared on the screen. The Super Peerless evil dragon had appeared.

His face appeared clearly, smiling. Judging from his appearance and temperament alone, he was indeed extraordinary, like Supreme True Immortal descending to earth.

His every move exudes Daoist charm, his demeanor is refined and elegant, untouched by worldly concerns.

Now, he is very down-to-earth, eating and drinking tea with people, living in the real world, rather than standing in the ethereal clouds.

"These are all ingredients from my cave dwelling. You're really something." He smiled. The table was laden with various divine items, such as Fire Dragon Date, Golden Grape, phoenix marrow, and True Dragon Meat.

Zhou Yun was also in the private room. He was acting strangely and his condition seemed off. It appeared that he had been controlled by an evil dragon and his mental memories had been searched.

"What do you want?!" Wang Xuan asked coldly.

"Don't rush." Evil Dragon Qi Tian was quite casual; the scene flashed, and he disappeared.

Soon after, his image reappeared on the spaceship's large screen. This time, the person next to him had changed, but it was still someone Wang Xuan knew— Professor Lin.

This old man was Wang Xuan's guide, giving him Pre-Qin Bamboo Slips, which allowed Wang Xuan to come into contact with High-Level Secret Scripture for the first time. Later, he even opened his Inner Scenery Realm by mastering the Root Method of this scripture.

Professor Lin also seemed unwell, appearing dazed and confused, suggesting that his memories had also been searched.

Qi Tian said calmly, "You have no secrets from me. In fact, I understood you thoroughly some time ago, even better than you understand yourself!"

"Are you going to threaten me with them to make me go back?" Wang Xuan said coldly.

Sword Immortal also spoke up, saying, "Qi Tian, you were an unparalleled powerhouse three thousand five hundred years ago, the second person to open special Inner Scenery Realm during the Mortal Period, and now you Super Peerless. Do you really need to resort to such despicable tactics, using an ordinary person to threaten Wang Xuan?!"

"You're overthinking it. These are just photos I took a few days ago. I haven't done anything to them yet," Qi Tian said calmly.

Wang Xuan and the Sword Immortal were extremely vigilant, realizing that something was wrong.

Next, the scene changes again. Qi Tian arrives on an ordinary life-bearing planet isolated from the outside world in a spaceship. He appears at a dinner party hosted by Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, and others, with a different face, enjoying the food as a guest.

"You..." Wang Xuan's expression changed completely. How did he know about that place?

This is a blatant threat!

Does this mean that Wang Xuan's whereabouts are no secret to him? He knows exactly where Wang Xuan has been!

"Heh, I told you, I know you better than you know yourself. I'm here!" Qi Tian said, his handsome face full of composure and ethereal beauty.

"An Old Spaceship has appeared in the distance, its performance is no worse than ours!" Mechanical Xiao reported urgently, preparing for aerial combat!

Qi Tian warned, "Don't act rashly. If you really open fire, the Ascension Banner can hold you off. Besides, I brought ten spaceships with me, enough to annihilate you!"

"How did you know my whereabouts?" Wang Xuan asked, which made him very uneasy. His primordial spirit was trembling, and this feeling was very bad.

Holding the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword, the Sword Immortal suppressed all her smiles and became extremely serious, ready for a great battle at any moment!

Qi Tian smiled and said, "I know your situation very well. Your trump card, your biggest asset, is the Supreme Treasure Nurturing Life Furnace, right? Heh, but you've never been able to truly refine it, because it never truly belonged to you!"

Wang Xuan's scalp tingled. He knew about this? That was a huge problem. The Nurturing Life Furnace was closely related to the third Giant Whale that opened special Inner Scenery Realm during the Mortal Period.
