The Old Chapters End

Can't I skip seeing her off? Wang Xuan wanted to go see her one last time, especially since Jiang Qingyao hadn't been resurrected yet, which made his heart pound with worry. Watching her depart from afar filled him with melancholy and regret.

He already knew that the miniature Sword Immortal was going to cross the sea and was ready to merge with Jiang Qingyao at any time, because they were originally one person.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan's body shook, and the earth around his life trembled violently. The place of origin of the extraordinary—the earth around his life—was no longer stable!

He suddenly looked up at the sky. What was happening? This day had finally come. He too was being shaken back. Was he about to drop in cultivation level?

On the big screen, Chen Yongjie turned around in surprise, as if he saw something unusual, staring into the deep space of the universe.

"The Sea of Light has breached its banks, it has burst forth and entered the Great Universe, it... has reappeared!" This was Qing Mu's trembling voice.

He was staring at another large screen, which showed images of underground caves and the vicinity of Planar Crevice, all of which were being simultaneously displayed to Wang Xuan, creating a dazzling spectacle.

The Great Universe seemed to have cracked open, with blinding fissures illuminating the dark Cosmic Void, like magma erupting and pouring out.

As time passed, the magnificent sea of light spread and reappeared in this deep starry sky, constantly expanding and raging with unstoppable force.

Huge waves surged up, sweeping away unmanned spaceships docked nearby. The towering waves were awe-inspiring.

"The Supernatural Light Sea has reappeared! It has unexpectedly returned?!" Wang Xuan's pupils contracted.

Soon, he realized something was wrong; his life force was trembling uncontrollably, and it had actually been shaken, suffering quite a serious impact.

And at that very moment, three points of light appeared, rising from the earth and shining brightly. Wang Xuan discovered that his external primordial spirit was losing its essence.

Even his consciousness was slipping away, which terrified him.

However, in an instant he understood what was happening. Part of his consciousness was being drawn into a point of light, rapidly merging with his New Primordial Spirit, but some of it was being rejected.

When he regained consciousness, he discovered that his flesh and blood had also lost some of their essence, which had been absorbed by another point of light, leaving him with a slightly decaying aura.

His primordial spirit is also aging rapidly, his cultivation is declining, is he really going to conform to the times and decay along with them?

"No, I wasn't shaken down in my cultivation level, but rather my New Primordial Spirit was being nourished. My spiritual energy is being transferred there, awaiting its final rebirth."

At this moment, Wang Xuan understood and realized the essence of the matter: the Mythological Era had ended, and he and a few other earth immortals were the last exceptions.

Now, even outliers like them are being targeted.

He sensed something, drew a hazy light, and used the most rudimentary version of the Mirror Light Technique to reflect himself, revealing a few white hairs at his temples.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, will the extraordinary of the old era eventually decay?" He knew very well that the cause of all this was that the point of light representing the physical body had absorbed some of the extraordinary blood essence from his body.

He realized that this was not the return of the Supernatural Light Sea, but a violent upheaval in the sea of light, probably because the underground cave was deliberately blasted down today, interfering with its course and triggering a backlash.

At this moment, the sea of light bursts out of the crack and sweeps fiercely, which is not a good thing. It is like a last burst of light before death, stirring up the remaining traces of rules in this universe, which is equivalent to repeatedly shaking the extraordinary beings.

"Old Chen, are you alright?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Fortunately, I remain steadfast despite all the trials and tribulations, unmoved by any winds from the east, west, south, or north. The ceiling cannot break me; I am firmly in the... Great Grandmaster realm," Chen Yongjie calmly replied.

He was shaken down to the level of a mortal, but his cultivation level had completely disappeared. His current strength was cultivated Super Material Exhausted Era in the Old Earth, and it was a solid foundation.

Even if the overall environment deteriorates, he will not be affected.

Beside him, Grandpa Liu Huaian stood as steady as a rock, with a youthful face and a buzz cut, his foundation Great Grandmaster was very solid.

Master Qing Mu is also very consistent. Recently, under the spur of "two young old men", he has been diligently studying and practicing, and his foundation is solid. There is nothing left for him to fall behind.

"How are Senior Yan, Fairy Fang, and Old Zhang?" Wang Xuan asked quickly, as this was much more serious than the backflow of the Guanghai Sea.

"It's alright. They used this opportunity to test the power of their treasures. Everyone was hiding in the Divine Palace when several treasures resonated, shone, and emitted light, allowing them to escape safely. The Sea of Light failed to assimilate them," Chen Yongjie replied.

This was a verification before departure. As it stands, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. The treasure can temporarily block the terrifying erosion of the Supernatural Light Sea.

It's just unknown how far the journey will be. If it's very long, then even a few precious treasures might not be able to protect them.

Wang Xuan wanted to see everyone off one last time, simply because he was reluctant to part with them. But humans are social beings, and he also had attachments here. Most of the people he knew and had connections with were here, including his parents Marriage Alliance. He couldn't bear to leave them.

At dawn, Wang Xuan set off again, with the Mechanical Xiao piloting the Silver Spaceship through the atmosphere and into space.

After passing through the wormhole, Wang Xuan staggered and fell directly into the cabin. At that moment, his consciousness did not enter the New Primordial Spirit, but his spiritual energy was dissipating and disappearing into that point of light.

His flesh and blood were also affected, just like his old primordial spirit, with a growing sense of decay and dozens of white hairs appearing at his temples.

"My path, my new self... was it wrong?" Wang Xuan was extremely weak and felt incredibly tired. In the end, he fainted on the ground.

"Wang Xuan, what's wrong with you?" The Mechanical Xiao was at a loss and dragged him into a rescue pod for emergency treatment, but it was to no avail.

Before losing consciousness, Wang Xuan had a chilling realization: Had he been wrong? Was the old primordial spirit outside his body the real him?

Within that speck of light, the new primordial spirit, though none other than himself awaiting rebirth, why did it evoke a sense of desolation deep within the consciousness of the old primordial spirit on the outside?

Normally, he felt nothing, but in the moments before he fainted, his consciousness was still present in his old primordial spirit, though it was somewhat rejected by his New Primordial Spirit, and that's when he had this realization.

The light spot was drawing energy from his old primordial spirit to strengthen itself; it was indeed a kind of rebirth, a more powerful self lying dormant.

However, if this trend continues, the old primordial spirit outside will continue to decay and decline until it is finally strangled and completely dissipated.

Such a new life, if not thought about carefully, is nothing, but when considered in depth, he felt a kind of fear, a kind of horror, that his original "self" had been erased.

That point of light, that "new me" that etched his memories, was born. Was it a rebirth, or the creation of a copy?

"Was I wrong?" Before he fainted, his thoughts were filled with countless emotions. When he saw the subconscious deep within his old primordial spirit again, the sense of powerlessness, helplessness, profound desolation, and decay stirred his heart and made him tremble uncontrollably. He realized his mistake.

"I must preserve my true self and give back to him!" However, he was extremely weak at this moment, his vision was blacking out, and he could not wake up.

"Old Chen, Wang Xuan is in trouble!" The Mechanical Xiao quickly contacted Chen Yongjie, its face stiff, mechanically reporting the emergency.

"What?! Bring him here quickly!" Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, and Old Master Liu Huaian all felt a chill in their hearts. Wang Xuan, who had remained unaffected even by the collapse of the Great Barrier and the demise of the myth, was now in serious trouble; the consequences were truly dire.

The Silver Spaceship streaked across the cold universe, Mechanical Xiao went berserk, carrying Wang Xuan at breakneck speed.

Deep in the universe, before the Planar Crevice, shimmering light and radiant glow emanated from the Supernatural Light Sea, which surged forth several times within a few short hours, expanding outwards and contracting back again, creating turbulent tides that severely impacted all extraordinary beings.

Fortunately, several precious treasures were present, all roaring, and together they withstood the intense radiation waves, so overall it was a close call without any real danger.

The Silver Spaceship arrived, and a group of people were already waiting there. No one expected that Wang Xuan's body would have problems at the last moment.

"How is Wang Xuan?" Xu Fu, the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, and others gathered around and entered the cabin.

Bai Jingshu's fingers glowed as she placed them in front of his brow, carefully sensing him. A look of doubt appeared on her face as she said, "His primordial spirit is weaker than before. Could it be that he ultimately failed to bypass the Great Universe Error Correction? The belated suppression is beginning to affect him?"

This was not impossible; she regarded Wang Xuan as her son-in-law, and a look of worry immediately appeared on her face.

Yan Mingcheng's body glowed, and lightning burst forth, but in a sacred and gentle way, it cleansed Wang Xuan's body and spirit, nourished and strengthened his foundation, and cleared away all kinds of decaying substances.

"He didn't wake up immediately. He's trapped in the deepest level of consciousness, as if he's trying to protect himself?" Yan Mingcheng frowned.

"Don't wake him up abruptly. In this situation, you need to wake him up slowly to avoid upsetting his spirit," Fang Yuzhu said, and then used the Reception Sutra.

For a moment, the place was incredibly sacred and radiant, with a shower of light entering Wang Xuan's body.

"This is a serious problem. His primordial spirit is severely depleted!" Fang Yuzhu said solemnly. If an ordinary person were in this state, they might never wake up again.

Everyone's expression changed.

In the dim light, Wang Xuan heard chanting and saw a path paved with Ascension Divine Bamboo, guiding him back from the depths of his hazy consciousness.

"Wake up!" came the voices of Zhang Daoling and the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor.

"Wang Xuan, do you still want to forge a new path?" Xu Fu's voice rang out.

Demon Lord Yan Qingyan also used the Reception Sutra and transmitted her voice, saying, "Perverted Little Wang, didn't you want to see me perform a fairy dance? If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to cross the sea and leave. You won't have a chance!"

The Little Thing, its eyes red, said, "Wang Xuan, don't fall into a deep sleep. My other half, Jiang Qingyao, is in a deep sleep and won't wake up. Why are you like this too?"

In a daze, Wang Xuan heard their calls and tried to open his eyes, but he felt extremely tired and unwilling to move deep in his consciousness.

"Let's try getting closer to the Sea of Light. After all, there's Supernatural Radiation here, and it can be considered a reappearance of the lingering echoes of a broken myth," someone suggested.

Soon after, Wang Xuan's body was taken out of the spaceship and entered the Planar Crevice, approaching the Sea of Light in the underground cave.

Fang Yuzhu said, "No, the closer we get to this sea, the more unstable his condition seems to become. There is a loss of spiritual matter. I vaguely sense that his New Primordial Spirit light has appeared and is absorbing the power of the old primordial spirit."

"Isn't this a good thing?" said the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor. Did this mean that Wang Xuan was accelerating his transformation and that New Primordial Spirit was about to emerge?

Yan Mingcheng frowned and said, "His old primordial spirit is very resistant."

"Wake him up first," Fang Yuzhu said, taking him away from the underground cave and reappearing in the spaceship. The rate at which his spiritual matter was being lost slowed down and then stopped.

A shower of light fell, Super Peerless master personally intervened, Reception Sutra its maximum potential. Finally, Wang Xuan revived and woke up, immediately seeing a group of familiar people.

"Alright, you're finally awake."

Wang Xuan saw the miniature versions of the Sword Immortal, Yan Mingcheng, Fang Yuzhu, and a large group of others, all of whom showed concern, making him feel somewhat ashamed.

He began, "I had intended to see you off, but unexpectedly, I encountered some problems that caused you worry."

"Are you resisting the rebirth of your New Primordial Spirit?" Demon Lord Yan Qingyan asked, a question that everyone wanted to ask, as they had sensed something was amiss.

"Yes." Wang Xuan nodded.

"Why?" the miniature fairy asked, her face showing worry and confusion.

Wang Xuan's expression was solemn as he said, "I think the old primordial spirit is the original me. It was he who met you, became familiar with you, and left behind those profound experiences. The New Primordial Spirit is like a copy of me."

If he hadn't said that, no one would have thought anything was wrong. But upon closer reflection, it seemed to be true; the old primordial spirit had gone through many things with them.

"Now that things have come to this, what do you want?" Zhang Daoling asked.

"I can handle this slowly." Wang Xuan said calmly. These people were about to embark on their journey, and he didn't want them to worry too much.

"There are similar rumors in ancient times, but those people were affected by practicing strange techniques, and most of them chose New Primordial Spirit," Xu Fu said.

Fang Yuzhu pondered for a moment, then made her move again, saying, "I can stabilize your old primordial spirit."

Her entire body shone brightly, and a glow emanated from between her brows, shooting out a complex pattern that eventually transformed into a single character that disappeared into Wang Xuan's forehead.

At first, people didn't recognize it, but after gazing at it carefully, they were enlightened and immediately understood its true meaning: constancy!

In this era, Fang Yuzhu's extraordinary abilities were astonishing to everyone.

"The two of us can stabilize your old primordial spirit," Yan Mingcheng and Bai Jingshu said, and then they both made their move.

The two of them joined forces, and the textures in front of them intertwined, and finally turned into the word "solid" and disappeared into Wang Xuan's head.

"I should be fine now, I can take care of my own problems." Wang Xuan smiled and relaxed, knowing that these people should leave soon.

At their final gathering, everyone waved goodbye and entered the underground cave again, preparing to cross the sea.

Wang Xuan, Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, and Liu Huaian stood outside the Planar Crevice, watching them depart.

"Wang Xuan, you..." Qing Mu became alert and noticed that Wang Xuan was swaying, so he immediately supported him.

"I was affected by the sea of light, but it's alright. I'll recover after I leave here." Wang Xuan shook his head, not wanting to fall into a daze. He stared into the great crack, watching his old friend leave. He asked Qing Mu to support him so he wouldn't fall.

But in the end, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he finally fainted. The Supernatural Light Sea fluctuated violently, as if it was really about to recede completely.

In a daze, he sensed that the miniature Sword Immortal had returned, carrying the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword. When she saw that Wang Xuan had fainted again, her nose suddenly stung with tears.

"How could this happen? Jiang Qingyao was regaining some consciousness and was getting better. She asked me to give you the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword for self-defense. But even after you woke up, it still didn't work, and you're about to fall into a coma again. How can anyone feel at ease?" The Little Thing said with a sob in its voice.

Wang Xuan heard this and struggled to open his eyes. Old Chen and Qing Mu held him firmly.

"I didn't faint. I heard your voice. Protect Qingyao. I will come back to find you one day," Wang Xuan said in a low voice.

Then, he pushed the sword back and said, "The Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword has already merged with the immortal sword that you nurtured with your lives. It cannot be lost. Take it with you; you need it even more!"

"But when Jiang Qingyao was awake just now, she asked me to bring this over. She said that there is no difference between One Sword Breaks All Laws and one weapon breaking all laws. The Nurturing Life Furnace is still here."

"It's different, you should take it!" Wang Xuan firmly refused to accept it.

At this moment, a call came from the cave, signaling that everyone was about to set off, and the Supernatural Light Sea was rapidly receding.

"Hurry up, or it will be too late!" Wang Xuan shoved the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword into her hand.

The miniature version of the Sword Immortal reluctantly departed, reuniting with the others. With a deafening roar, amidst towering waves, the group crossed the sea and vanished completely!

Wang Xuan's body went limp, and his vision went black. This time, he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed into a coma. He was quickly put into the spaceship by Qing Mu and Old Chen.
