The wedding venue was filled with flowers, the atmosphere was lively, and there were many guests, including familiar friends and strangers who had never met before.

Qin Cheng suspected his memory was playing tricks on him. Some people seemed to know him like old friends, and they came over to offer their blessings. His smile was a little stiff, and he really wanted to ask, "Who are you? Do I really know you?"

But those people acted so naturally that everyone else thought they were his friends.

"Haha, Brother Qin Cheng, congratulations! May you grow old together and have a son soon." Another uncle walked over. He had white hair, but his face did not look old. His eyes were golden, and there were short horns in his hair.

Qin Cheng was stunned. He didn't recognize this person at all. In fact, he couldn't even be called human. Who sent him the invitation?

With so many guests, and some familiar faces arriving, Qin Cheng no longer had the energy to deal with the strangers. As long as they didn't cause trouble at his wedding, he let them be; it was good for the joyous occasion to be lively.

Zhao Qinghan was dressed very formally, her beautiful figure highlighted by a dress that exuded a cool and elegant aura, yet her smile was so radiant.

Also present were Qin Cheng's college classmates, including Zhou Kun, Su Chan, Xu Wenbo, and Li Qingzhu. Some were helping Qin Cheng greet acquaintances, while others were serving as best men.

"What's wrong with Wang Xuan? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Zhou Kun murmured. He wanted to see Wang Xuan, but he hadn't seen him. He had a deep friendship with both Qin Cheng and Wang Xuan.

Although they were classmates and friends, Qin Cheng knew it was best not to say too much about Wang Xuan's health problems and did not tell them the details.

"Mr. Qin, congratulations." Someone smiled and approached, which surprised Qin Cheng's father. Why were all sorts of people at his son's wedding? Although he had many friends in the business world, he had no connection with the so-called head of the gene research institute.

In particular, Qin Cheng's father noticed that there were quite a few "strange people" at the wedding, who were clearly not normal humans. How could his son have such a wide "connections"?

He had to keep up pleasantries and deal with all sorts of people until finally he saw winged, flying people descend from the sky, land in the snow, and enter the hall. He was really starting to lose his composure.

Some exclaimed that it was an angel, while others whispered that it was a divine bird transformed into Demon Immortals.

Many people were lost in thought. Today, there were quite a few heavyweights present, including tycoons and even some who were referred to as patriarchs.

Qin Cheng knew that these people were waiting for Wang Xuan, and of course, the gifts they presented were quite impressive.

He sighed, somewhat regretful that his best friend, the best man Wang Xuan, couldn't attend, as his health hadn't improved and was causing him concern.

Suddenly, many people turned their gaze in one direction and saw a young man appear. He was another flying superhuman, surrounded by five-colored clouds. He didn't have any wings and landed from the sky.

"Wang Xuan didn't come?" This person was quite direct. He landed in the garden outside, stepped on the white snow, and disappeared in a flash, entering the hall.

Some people were moved and finally came up with a very direct approach, not so subtle, aimed at the real "main character".

"Could he really be like some of the Transcendent Immortals, falling from the sky and suffering the most severe backlash, becoming a mortal?" someone whispered, because Wang Xuan still hadn't arrived.

On the outskirts of Ancheng, several streaks of spiritual light flashed by. In this era, very few people are capable of astral projection.

There were now more than five such streams of light, but they all trembled slightly and almost dissipated, dimming in an instant. They were all wisps of Dao Heart light that had been separated from their respective masters, not the Main Primordial Spirit the body, yet they still caused the original bodies in Ancheng to groan.

Especially at the wedding, several people's expressions changed slightly. They couldn't wait any longer and split off their primordial spirits to explore the manor. As a result, they were all subjected to a violent shock by a light shout, and their split primordial spirits almost collapsed.

"Thank goodness, I meant no harm. I just wanted to see how he was doing. No wonder he's the current top expert who's killed a mortal immortal. Just a cold snort from him was terrifying." Someone said, still feeling a bit scared.

"Is he awake, or is he perfectly fine and has been misleading everyone? He'll probably be here soon."

A few people looked strange, but none of them said anything; they all knew what was going on.

Soon after, Wang Xuan, Mechanical Xiao, and Grandpa Liu Huaian appeared at the wedding, causing a stir and attracting the attention of many people.

The "real deal" has appeared, and many whispered that they had come to meet him, and they had finally waited for this moment.

Wang Xuan apologized to Qin Cheng. Although he had arrived, he was a little late, and all eyes were on them, making him feel like he had "usurped the host's place."

He didn't want everyone's attention to be focused on him. This was Qin Cheng's wedding, and he was there as a supporting character, to be a background figure.

Wang Xuan presented a pair of jade discs, their shimmering light moving many. These were not only antiques, but also possessed a faint trace of extraordinary power even now.

Qin Cheng was very happy and did not ask about his physical condition for fear of revealing secrets. He communicated with his eyes, as long as Wang Xuan woke up and recovered, that was better than anything else.

At the same time, he looked worried and gestured to Wang Xuan to look around. He noticed that many strangers were not really going to attend the wedding, and he was afraid that they might be a threat to Wang Xuan.

"It's alright. We're guests from afar, and everyone there will be very friendly." Wang Xuan nodded, secretly telling him not to worry.

Chen Yongjie squeezed through, somewhat speechless. Dare to be unfriendly? They'd probably be taught a lesson until they became friendly!

"Wang Xuan, what's wrong with you? You're late." Zhou Kun and the others gathered around.

"You have some gray hair at your temples, what happened?" Su Chan asked in surprise.

"I've been staying up late a lot lately, researching immortality, but it's backfired," Wang Xuan laughed, greeting acquaintances warmly and joking around.

Zhao Qinghan didn't say much, she just looked at him, because she already knew about his health problems. She had seen him at the Qing Mu's Manor, but he had been in a coma ever since.

Wang Xuan gave her a look, indicating that it wasn't the right time to say anything more and that they could talk later.

Wu Yin, carrying the Little Fox, also came over, feeling both joy and worry. But at least she saw that he had woken up, so she nodded to indicate that they would meet again after the wedding.

Horse Chao Fan is too tall to come to the wedding.

After greeting some acquaintances and old friends, Wang Xuan finally integrated into the wedding scene and began to actively approach the strangers, giving them opportunities to interact.

"Young friend Wang, I'm sorry. I was too impatient just now. I couldn't wait for you, so I couldn't help but send a wisp of my primordial spirit to see you at the manor in the suburbs."

A middle-aged man approached, his posture very humble. A few people who knew his Roots were surprised, for he was a "god" from deep space, one of the strongest beings of the past.

Then, a white-haired man with a youthful face stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to them. He was equally low-key and humble. Some extraordinary people recognized that he had once been one of the Transcendent Immortals.

Those who truly understand and know their identities immediately change their expressions.

The once peerless powerhouses, who now maintain their extraordinary strength, did not show any malice; on the contrary, they all looked worried.

"When the myth came to an end, my friend killed a mortal immortal in the mortal world. His strength was earth-shattering, which amazed and impressed everyone."

"However, this era is too unfriendly. May I ask, young friend, is there any way for us to go? With the arrival of the eternal night, does it mean that we are really going to have a tragic end? We have come here because we are truly unwilling to accept this."

They knew that Wang Xuan practically represented the pinnacle of extraordinary talent in the present world, and they wanted to see if he could preserve his Dao Fruit and withstand the pressure.

These peerless powerhouses, as time goes by, are gradually weakening, feeling helpless and disheartened, unwilling to reach a dead end in this era.

In their eyes, Wang Xuan was special. The top experts who remained in the Supernatural World were all saying that he might have a new path to follow. Therefore, those who had preserved their extraordinary strength all wanted to ask him for directions, and no one was willing to be ordinary.

The two were very frank and spoke their minds directly.

This was different from what Wang Xuan had thought. He believed that some people felt he was weak and wanted to test him to see if he was truly capable.

Beside him, a purple-haired youth walked over and said, "The Supernatural Finale. Without mythology, what is there to fight for? We should work together to find a way forward. This is what we should do. Wang Xuan, you must hold on no matter what. We heard that you have health problems and we are very worried. If you can't go on, our path will be cut off."

The main reason is that they are all weak now, their extraordinary power is declining day by day, and they feel very insecure.

In this era, the power of the conglomerates and the New Moon advancement of technology make them uneasy. Even though they have their own resources and spaceships, without the great supernatural powers of flying and teleporting, they feel like a tiger with its teeth pulled out or a bird of prey with its wings clipped.

Soon, the chaebol's people also approached. Moreover, it was Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin who told Wang Xuan that someone wanted to talk to him and had even come to the two women to pull strings.

"Wang Xuan, Brother Wang..." Several people from the financial group approached him politely, without any intention of a triumphant return or a high-profile debut.

In fact, the people here were also uncertain, not knowing whether the extraordinary had truly vanished forever. They also felt insecure, fearing that the extraordinary would go mad in the final stage and take their place with their primordial spirit, using "evil arts" to control their minds, which filled them with fear.

Wang Xuan sighed. In this era, who would casually possess another body with their spirit and change bodies at will? The extraordinary no longer exists, and "evil arts" can no longer be used casually.

He could sense the excitement and anticipation in the hearts of the people on the chaebol side. They hoped that the extraordinary would decay completely as soon as possible. Of course, it would be even better if some secret techniques that could Extend Life were left behind. As for the Sea-Burning Divine Power, tearing apart warships with bare hands, and splitting mountains with a sword, it would be best if these methods were completely destroyed.

"Wang Xuan, we are all people of this world. You were born into this era, yet you have become one of the most powerful Supernatural Practitioner. You must do your best to protect the interests of ordinary people and prevent superhumans from causing trouble..."

The chaebols made various "expressions" asking him to play a role and stand on the side of the masses in this era; the implication was clear: he wanted to help them.

In general, whether it's large organizations and conglomerates or extraordinary individuals, everyone is wary and lacks a sense of security, and they are currently in an unexpected state of equilibrium.

At this stage, all parties are seeking stability.

When Wang Xuan came here, he was mentally prepared for all sorts of things and didn't mind showing his strength today, but this situation was quite unexpected.

Of course, the chaebols are low-key and the extraordinary are humble. Although this is the mainstream, there are naturally some exceptions when there are many people, such as those with ulterior motives and malicious intent.

For example, the head of a certain gene research institute was probing, asking Wang Xuan if they could cooperate, saying it would be great if they could get some extraordinary blood.

This suggestion wasn't too offensive, but Wang Xuan's primordial spirit was so powerful that it could directly see through his true intentions. He was even thinking that if Wang Xuan was very weak, he could take him away to dissect and study him in the future.

"You want to slice me into pieces?" Soon, the person in charge "automatically" left, then went mad, running naked through the snow and ice, and never recovered.

"Wang Xuan, where is Fang Yuzhu? Why didn't she come? How long are they going to hide in the shadows?" At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up. It was the flying superhuman from before, surrounded by five-colored clouds, his feet now off the ground.

In this era, it was astonishing that one could still fly with one's physical body. A vertical eye appeared between his eyebrows, staring at Wang Xuan as if it could see through people's hearts.

Wang Xuan remained indifferent. Although his heart was unsettled, he showed no emotion. The so-called vertical eye that could see through people's hearts was suppressed by his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and could not see what he was thinking.

If it were someone else, their thoughts would truly be read.

He knew which force this was. His Spiritual Heavenly Eye through the five-colored clouds and mist, and it was related to the treasure, the Free Carefree Boat. The remaining light of the treasure's rules left this mark on this person, which also allowed him to float in the air for a short time!

Wang Xuan was naturally under pressure, as the two founders of the Supernatural Palace and the Gouchen Imperial Palace, each wielding a supreme treasure, were keeping an eye on him from afar.

"To be precise, they're afraid that Fang Yuzhu and the Shadow couple didn't leave, and that they might have retreated at the last minute like them. They want to test the waters with me," Wang Xuan guessed.

These are disciples of those two powerful figures, here to test their abilities.

"Hmph!" Wang Xuan snorted coldly, displaying his Earth Immortal cultivation. The man fell to the ground, almost prostrating himself in worship, and was forced to perform a grand salute uncontrollably.
