Deep in the universe, through Planar Crevice, chasing the sea, Wang Xuan's face was slightly pale as he leaned against the rough stone wall of the cave.

For a brief moment, he lost his balance, and three points of light appeared, absorbing energy. Was he truly about to be reborn?

He carefully sensed them and observed them with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye. In one of the points of light, there was a Little Person, dazzling figure sitting cross-legged in the ball of light.

That was his own image, representing his New Primordial Spirit. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a rich primordial spirit power was flowing around him. His figure was like a blazing sun hanging high in the sky.

Mustard Seed Contains Sumeru seed Shine Upon Mount Sumeru, the point of light is so small that outsiders cannot perceive it, and even he himself would overlook it if he did not look closely. Yet, within that tiny point of light, it seems infinitely large, with the New Primordial Spirit illuminating all things, very powerful and extremely sacred, its light filling every inch of space.

At this moment, the old and new primordial spirits sensed each other, resonated with each other, and began to merge. The rich light of the primordial spirits almost pierced through their bodies and illuminated the cave.

However, the New Primordial Spirit still kept its eyes closed, gradually losing contact with the outside world, seemingly not yet "mature".

Attracted by the Supernatural Light Sea, it reappeared, seemingly "hungry," and inhaled a ripple radiated from the sea of light, only to spit it out quickly.

"Picky eater?" Wang Xuan pondered. This place was indeed inferior to Higher Mental World. At this stage, if he were to undergo Nirvana, his primordial spirit would be best suited to travel to a pure spiritual plane.

Wang Xuan's gaze left the spot of light and his senses entered another spot of light, which was a mass of blood, bright red and dazzling, like a rolling crimson cloud.

These are the points of light representing his flesh and blood. Canxia transformed into a Little Person, not at peace, punching and kicking, reciting various scriptures.

The dazzling crimson Little Person, with every gesture, caused the space inside the light spot to hum and vibrate, seemingly becoming unstable and about to Shatter Void.

It was also "hungry," so it took a breath of the light waves radiated from the sea of light, leaving behind a few strands of essence, and then spat out ninety percent of it, having eaten some of it.

The third point of light, a pure new interior scene, is being conceived and awaiting rebirth. It is currently in a chaotic and hazy state.

The three points of light chimed softly. They had been hungry and absorbed energy, which affected the old primordial spirit and physical body outside, causing Wang Xuan to stumble.

"You don't look too well, is something wrong?" Demon Lord Yan Qingyan, who was standing beside him, was somewhat surprised to see his condition.

In her opinion, Little Wang was a pervert. He hadn't been cultivating for long, yet he was able to suppress her in the Real World. Why did his body sway just now?

"It's nothing, the New Primordial Spirit is struggling, and the movements are quite large, it's waiting to be reborn." Wang Xuan didn't hide anything.

Demon Lord Yan Qingyan was astonished. Had he made progress in this era? She sighed, "Perhaps you should leave and find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion."

She warned that the Supernatural Light Sea could disappear at any time, and if something unexpected happened, they might have to use the treasure to cross the sea directly.

Yan Mingcheng turned around and said, "Son, go now, don't see me off. You know everything you need to know and see, there's no need for you to risk your life here."

As they were talking, a thunderstorm broke out, and most of the entire underground cave collapsed. A huge wave crashed in, almost instantly submerging this underground world.

For a fleeting moment, they couldn't resist the urge to enter the Divine Palace, unleash the combined power of their treasures, and make a desperate attempt to cross the sea and sail away.

Thump!

The Sky-Veiling Bracelet glowed, resembling a vast Cosmic Void dotted with countless stars, holding back the ocean and buying time for everyone to retreat.

"Now is not the time to cross the sea. It is still circling around, pouring back into the Planar Crevice. We must wait until the final moment, and then disappear completely with it!"

Fang Yuzhu said, retrieved the Sky-Veiling Bracelet, and then fled. The group once again rushed out of the cave in a disheveled state.

Bai Jingshu nodded and said, "That makes sense. If we cross the sea now, it will keep lingering here. We can't afford to waste time. The opportunity is only in the last moment. We must follow it and go far away in an instant to enter New World!"

Wang Xuan lowered his head, sensing the condition inside the Nurturing Life Furnace. The Sword Immortal was still far from recovering and regaining consciousness. He fell silent for a moment, wondering whether to keep her here or send her across the sea.

He calmed down and thought about Jiang Qingyao's pursuit. She was probably unwilling to be a mortal in the real world. If she were conscious, she would probably cross the sea.

"I should bring the Little Thing here. She is the Sword Immortal's other half. In any case, I should tell her about Qingyao's situation," Wang Xuan whispered.

During this time, Wang Xuan saw many familiar faces. In addition to the powerful figures from the Immortal Realm and the gods of the Great Barrier, there were also those people he had met at the Time-Space Bar. It was there that Wang Xuan first came into contact with the Light Sea.

Zhang Qifan, a researcher in a white coat, enthusiastically ran over to Wang Xuan and asked if he had considered leaving behind an heir.

"I have high hopes for you. After the collapse of the Immortal Path, the extraordinary has disappeared. From now on, we can only rely on the individual mutations of life to guide the rise of new humans and break through various limits. Your Primordial Spirit Spectrum is very special, as is Fang Yuzhu..."

"Stop, don't say anymore, or you'll be thrown into the Supernatural Light Sea and won't be able to escape the Planar Crevice." Wang Xuan stopped him, then asked, "Are you also going to cross the sea?"

"No, I came here to test the Sea of Light and collect samples. I will not leave this universe."

On the seventeenth day, Wang Xuan staggered again and almost fell. His face was pale. He clearly sensed that three of the light spots were "hungry." The other two light spots were fine. Although they were picky eaters, they were fine as long as they had energy and would go and refine themselves.

They even mobilized various substances from the earth and absorbed them for their own use.

Only that single point of light representing the New Primordial Spirit was too selective, requiring spiritual power. After becoming extremely hungry, it began to absorb the substances of the old primordial spirit from the outside.

Unfortunately, the red liquid brought back from the Spiritual Blood Pool was almost used up, and most of it was placed in the Nurturing Life Furnace for Jiang Qingyao to revive.

Wang Xuan felt it was time for him to leave. He wanted to try to open those Mental World and nourish his New Primordial Spirit, while he could still manage to do so now.

"Your health isn't right. Go back. The radiation from Guanghai won't help you much." Fang Yuzhu noticed something was wrong with him.

Finally, she looked at the Nurturing Life Furnace he was holding and asked, "Do you want her to stay here, or do you want her to come with us across the sea?"

"If we keep her here, I'm afraid she'll never wake up," Wang Xuan said. But even if we send her across the sea, there's no guarantee she'll survive.

"Old Chen, bring the Little Thing over!" Wang Xuan returned to the outside of the Planar Crevice, entered his spaceship, contacted Chen Yongjie, and let the Sword Immortal's "other half" decide.

"Everyone, if you are still here in a few days and have not yet traveled far, I will come again to see you off on your successful crossing of the sea," Wang Xuan said in farewell.

He had to leave temporarily to deal with his own problems first.

He felt that his New Primordial Spirit was eagerly awaiting nourishment, becoming increasingly impatient and eager to travel in his spirit, yearning to enter those Higher Mental World.

"Treasure!"

"Take care of yourself!"

A large group of people saw them off, and after this parting, they didn't know if they would ever meet again in this life; this farewell might be forever.

Wang Xuan handed the Nurturing Life Furnace to Fang Yuzhu, asking her to take care of Jiang Qingyao. He placed the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword into the furnace, letting her sword accompany her and resonate with her, perhaps further stimulating her fighting spirit and vitality.

Wang Xuan quickly departed and returned to his original location. There are myths and legends that life-bearing planets with large populations are more likely to unlock those spiritual planes.

Ancient people speculated that perhaps the convergence of the thoughts and feelings of all living beings was an important key to unlocking the spiritual dimension.

On that day, Wang Xuan traversed the wormhole and returned to his Old Earth.

On the same day, Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, and Grandpa Liu Huaian boarded a spaceship and escorted the mini version of the Sword Immortal towards the Planar Crevice.

After returning to his Old Earth, the spaceship landed at the Qing Mu's Manor. Wang Xuan didn't even get off the spaceship; he immediately sat down cross-legged and had the Mechanical Xiao protect him.

"The bear... will protect your physical body!" the little bear said stiffly and meticulously, standing beside him and adjusting the spaceship to wartime mode.

At the same time, Wang Xuan placed a pile of Good Fortune True Crystal he had collected in front of him, leaving them for the two light spots representing flesh and blood and inner vision to absorb.

Sure enough, upon returning to his Old Earth, a life-bearing planet filled with myths and legends and with a decent population, Wang Xuan immediately sensed the existence of the spiritual plane the moment his primordial spirit left his body.

Even after the supernatural decays, those Mental World are not completely closed off; some can still be vaguely touched.

Of course, in this day and age, very few people can sense it anymore; 99% of Supernatural Practitioner can no longer find those Mental World.

When Wang Xuan first stepped into the Supernatural Domain, he came into contact with the Mental World, where various wondrous sights appeared around him. Even now, in these difficult times, he has still succeeded in breaking into it.

He stood in the first layer of the Mental World, where there were towering mountains and steep ridges, but the vegetation was somewhat withered, and large areas were barren.

"It's quite frightening. The immortal path is corrupt, and even the Mental World has been severely impacted. It's far from what it used to be."

After his spirit entered, he took a deep breath and gained something, but he did not find any more valuable spiritual herbs or the like here.

He took deep breaths, absorbed spiritual matter, and soon left the place, breaking through into the second layer of the Mental World.

Most of the plants and trees here are spiritual products. After searching for a long time, he only found a few withered spiritual herbs. They were effective after being ingested by his primordial spirit, but still far from enough.

Wang Xuan broke through to the fifth level of the Mental World in one go. The vitality here was much richer. He picked a lot of spiritual herbs. Most importantly, when he wandered around here in spirit, this spiritual plane itself was nourishing his primordial spirit, which was very comfortable.

If people knew that he was still in the Human World Great Realm, yet he could already travel through the spiritual realm and enter the fifth layer of the spiritual plane, they would be incredibly astonished.

The last time he broke through to Mount Buzhou, it wasn't due to his own strength; it was because the Sword Immortal took him on a long journey. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach it.

"Although I know the hope is slim, I still yearn for a rapid Nirvana of my primordial spirit, flesh and blood, and inner vision, to see if I can break through the meteorite passage, find a new myth, and let those people learn from it and follow along."

Wang Xuan sighed, worried about those who were entering the Planar Crevice to chase the sea, fearing that this parting might be their last.

"Not enough, let's go up to the next level!" Not long after, he exerted all his strength and rushed into the sixth level of the Mental World. He stood there and continuously collected spiritual herbs to replenish his needs.

This is Mental World that only Earth Immortals can enter and exit, corresponding to the sixth level of the Carefree Journey Great Realm.

"Travel through the Mental World, and you advance to a higher realm with each level you ascend."

Even he himself realized that there were probably very few people who could stand here at the Great Realm in the Human World, which proved that he now indeed had the strength of an Earth Immortal!

He was in the sixth level of the Mental World, devouring all kinds of spiritual herbs like a whirlwind. In this era, he was practically the only one left still exploring the Mental World.

"If There Are Supreme Treasures, we could explore much further. But those who cross the sea need it more than I do. One more item would provide more protection and help them survive."

Wang Xuan inevitably thought of the Dao Control Banner. Was it completely destroyed, or did it simply not appear? Only it was nowhere to be found.

He stayed in the sixth layer of the Mental World for two whole days, and finally his spirit felt "full" and he no longer felt hungry.

He realized that his New Primordial Spirit should be full, so he didn't stop. He continued to replenish himself frantically, picking herbs whenever he saw them and drinking deeply from spiritual springs whenever he found them, until he felt he could hold on any longer, and then he returned to the Real World.

"I hope Nirvana goes smoothly and that day comes soon. I want to forge a path. I don't want to see them get hurt. I want to help those who are about to cross the sea." Whenever Wang Xuan thought of those familiar and dear figures being forced to travel far away and leave this universe, he felt empty inside. It was a gamble with their lives, and there was no certainty at all.

At the very least, it seems that all those ancient people who crossed the sea died, and some of the Super Mythological Civilization failed.
