Traceless
Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu discovered that Wang Xuan was much calmer than they had imagined, showing no distress or worry about his situation.
The next day, Qin Cheng came again. After delivering the wedding invitations, he calmed down and looked at the dozens of white hairs at Wang Xuan's temples, and he was a little worried.
"I hope your body won't leave any hidden problems."
Qin Cheng and he were very close; they had been best friends for four years of university. But now, he still hesitated and spoke with some reservations, keeping his voice very low.
Thinking of Wang Xuan's past, who was once the pinnacle of the Supernatural Realm, Qin Cheng felt sorry for him if his body began to weaken from that day on.
"What are you thinking about? What could possibly be wrong with me? Focus on preparing for the wedding," Wang Xuan said.
"There are no outsiders here, don't force yourself. Are you really alright?" Qing Mu was also worried.
Wang Xuan once said that he could barely fight against a terrestrial immortal. In this era, such words would definitely silence all directions and make many people's blood boil.
But Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu were still a little worried that something might happen to him.
"It's a small problem. If I can't even get over this hurdle, how am I supposed to find those who have left?" Wang Xuan said calmly.
He is indeed in a difficult situation, but he has set a higher goal for himself and is trying to downplay the troubles at hand.
Chen Yongjie was deeply moved as he listened. If possible, he also wanted to enter the extraordinary New World. However, he was born in the wrong era. He was considered destined to become the founder of a cult, but before he could rise to power, he was cast back to the mortal world.
Then, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he returned to calm. His two children were due in a little over a month, and he couldn't think about it too much.
After waking up this time, Wang Xuan was in relatively good condition. He felt that the fatigue was not as severe as he had imagined, and he probably wouldn't faint suddenly again anytime soon.
"I want to go deep into the universe and take a look at the Planar Crevice."
It was like an obsession; even in his dazed state, he dreamed of the underground cave, saw the Supernatural Light Sea and the towering waves crashing against the sky, and met those familiar faces.
Now that the tide has receded and the sea of light has disappeared, theoretically, the Planar Crevice will gradually close over time, leaving him with little time.
"Are you physically capable of handling this?" Qing Mu asked, but then nodded, indicating that he would accompany him.
Just as Chen Yongjie was about to speak, Liu Huaian stopped him, saying, "Don't run around. You're going to be a father soon. I'll go with them."
On that day, the Mechanical Xiao piloted a silver-white spaceship, pierced through outer space, and sped away, disappearing into the Depths of Starry Sky.
Some people were paying attention to the manor outside Ancheng, and they were all surprised when they heard the news. It was Wang Xuan's private spaceship, and it had entered space again.
Recently, rumors have circulated that after the immortals decayed, Transcendent Immortals were no longer able to function and many fell back to earth, becoming mortals. Even Wang Xuan was no exception, as his body seemed to be experiencing problems.
His willingness to travel such a long distance now is somewhat unexpected by all parties.
Reactions varied; some were surprised, some were wary, and some were excited and delighted.
"I hope he can hold on. He's an Earth Immortal. If even his body collapses, then the path to transcendence will be completely cut off, with no glimmer of hope left."
"You're overthinking it. Even if he manages to pull through, it doesn't mean there's still hope for you and me. Because he is Wang Xuan, and there's only one special him."
In Ancheng, at the Zh Xian Tea House, two men with graying hair but still youthful faces were drinking tea. These were severely degenerated Supernatural Practitioner; their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people, but they could no longer maintain their superhuman abilities.
In the universe, the silver-white spaceship passed through the wormhole like a streak of light, traversing the cold and desolate void. It didn't take long before it appeared at its destination.
"The spaceship's performance has been improved?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise, feeling that the speed was much faster than before.
"I received some Spaceship Wreckage, reassembled it, and integrated it into the silver-white spaceship, significantly improving its performance," the Mechanical Xiao explained. It explained that after the last battle here, some Ancient Spaceship Wreckage was left behind, which it then utilized.
Ahead, all was pitch black, as if there was a huge, unfathomable crevice there, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, leaving no light.
"No wonder it's also called the Earth Abyss, it's so fitting," Qing Mu said.
The area was not yet closed off; in fact, there was a faint, Supernatural Radiation, which only Wang Xuan could sense. This weak level of radiation was of no help to cultivation.
The silver-white spaceship entered, and the vast cavern did not hinder its flight at all, disappearing straight into the depths.
As they traveled further, the terrain became increasingly complex, with huge caves that seemed to connect one world after another, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
Some caves are like abysses, endless and unfathomable, as if hiding ferocious creatures, with faint black mist rising from them, making them extremely cold and eerie.
"Let's stop here. I'll go take a look myself." Wang Xuan wasn't worried. At most, a few Ancient Dreadful Spirits would remain here, but they wouldn't pose a threat.
His spirit left his body, draped in a tattered corner of the God Slaying Banner. It was a pity that this extraordinary treasure, which had accompanied him all the way and fought to the very end, was torn to pieces by Shang Yi 'Ascension Banner.
It's already quite miraculous that a fragment of the treasure could remain and not turn to ashes under its power; any other weapon would have left nothing behind.
Along the way, the traces of the impact of the vast ocean were everywhere. The deepest part of the cave was extremely damaged and almost completely collapsed, having been ravaged beyond recognition.
In the darkness, there were some points of light. Wang Xuan was surprised. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that they were Good Fortune True Crystal. He actually found more than a dozen of them. Compared to the boundless sea of light, these remnants were pitifully few. They were just accidental drops.
"I really don't want to leave anything behind, such a magnificent sea..."
Wang Xuan didn't need to bother finding a way; he only needed to follow the radiation until he reached the end, where a hazy light appeared, with a small puddle remaining.
The blurred dimensional Realm Wall, existing between reality and illusion, is turning into emptiness and will eventually leave no trace.
Wang Xuan tried to probe out a wisp of spiritual energy, but it vanished silently.
He urged the tattered God Slaying Banner, doing his utmost to create a blurry ripple that struck at the very end.
Buzz!
This caused a roaring sound, and the Supernatural Radiation intensified, but after a short while, everything dimmed and dissipated again.
"Without a trace".
Wang Xuan sighed softly. Everything was as expected. Nothing was left here, which was good. What he feared most was seeing fragments of supreme treasures, Transcendent Immortals remains of immortals, and so on.
At least they blocked the first wave of the attack from the sea of light, so there was no danger.
"Hmm!?" Just before Wang Xuan was about to leave, an inconspicuous stone in the darkness caught his attention. He used his primordial spirit to guide it, and the moment he touched it, his brows furrowed. This material was incredibly hard, somewhat resembling a corner of the Divine Palace!
However, it has no divinity and no remnants of rules, otherwise it would not have been ignored by him until he was about to leave.
His heart sank. Was this just a corner of the Supreme Divine Palace? He couldn't believe it!
Legend has it that the Supreme Treasure Divine Palace was made from Chaos Stone. At this time, the stone had no chaotic energy; it was just very heavy.
He stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't be sure if it was a fragment of the Divine Palace. Judging from the broken pieces, they were eroded beyond recognition, and seemed to have existed here for a very long time.
At the end of the Planar Crevice, if there truly is such a thing as a transcendent New World, this place is essentially the intersection of two universes, where even the most precious treasures could be torn apart.
"The Chaos Stone isn't just in the Divine Palace; it might be a remnant from some other civilization."
Wang Xuan turned around and returned to the spaceship.
He returned to his Old Earth, and two days later, he fell into a deep sleep once more.
In the dream, his consciousness glowed, trying his best to rush into the New Primordial Spirit, but was resisted, which was naturally not a good sign.
At this point, the old and new primordial spirits were engaged in a battle.
With a sudden sound, the speck of light transformed into a golden glow and vanished into the distance.
However, it will reappear when Wang Xuan relaxes. It wants spiritual energy and is somewhat resistant to his old conscious imprints.
"The Primordial Spirit Coffin Great Method!" In his slumber, amidst the fierce battles of a real dream, Wang Xuan conceived of this great technique. He prepared to openly fight while secretly carrying out a covert operation, entrusting the core imprint of his consciousness into the light spot.
For more than ten days, he remained in a deep sleep, but his breathing was steady. This time, he was not given an IV drip. He held the Good Fortune True Crystal in his hand and absorbed most of it in the past month.
Not to mention this era, even in the past, such a rare object was priceless, belonging to the most important special products of the Supernatural Light Sea.
Seeing this, Qing Mu felt a little relieved. As long as he could "nourish" himself with the True Crystal, the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined. He and Chen Yongjie also had such rare items, all given to them by Wang Xuan.
They originally wanted to try whether they could use the True Crystal to enhance their strength and return to the Supernatural Domain in this era.
But in the end, neither the master nor the apprentice did it, fearing that Wang Xuan would not have enough, as his physical condition was truly worrying, and they prepared to save everything for him.
In the past two weeks, many people have come to visit, especially after it was learned that Wang Xuan had gone to the depths of the universe.
Chen Yongjie stopped everyone, except for Qin Cheng, and Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin and others who had recently come from New Star. Most of them were politely declined.
Liu Huaian said, "Wang Xuan is an Earth Immortal, very powerful, but it's not a good idea for him to always be asleep. The more we prevent him from contacting people from the outside world, the more they will want to investigate."
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Cheng's initial anxiety turned into worry. He realized that Wang Xuan's physical condition was much more serious than he had expected, and he had been in a deep sleep for almost a month.
"Brother, as long as you get better, nothing else matters. It's okay if you can't attend my wedding, but you must let me attend yours in the future. Get well soon!" He left with a worried look on his face.
The wedding invitations have already been sent out, and many people have come, whether they are acquaintances or strangers. He can't change the date; doing so would be too disrespectful to all parties.
In fact, many people did come specifically for Wang Xuan.
On the wedding day, Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, and Little Fox all came to see Wang Xuan, but seeing that he remained unconscious, they had no choice but to leave in a hurry and rush to the wedding venue.
Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu also set off; if they didn't go soon, it would be too late.
The wedding was attended by a large number of people, from ordinary people to members of various organizations, and even superhumans. There were not only humans, but also some people from other races.
Without a doubt, some people came specifically because of Wang Xuan.
The atmosphere at the wedding was lively, but many people kept turning back to look for Wang Xuan, hoping to see him up close and get to know him better.
"Could something have really happened to him?" After waiting for a long time without seeing Wang Xuan appear, some people looked worried.
In the manor on the outskirts of Ancheng, Wang Xuan suddenly sat up. The Mechanical Xiao and Liu Huaian's grandfather were still there. Seeing this, they breathed a sigh of relief, at least they were still in time.
"You really woke up at the perfect moment!" the young old man, Liu Huaian, complained.
Wang Xuan apologized, explaining that the dream was so vivid and intense that he had only just broken free from it.
