New Chapter: Three Years
In the Old Earth manor on the outskirts of Ancheng, Wang Xuan was in a semi-conscious state.
He had been in a deep sleep, but was awakened by an aura, and he also sensed the aura of the supreme treasure.
The instant the killing array was activated, a strange and terrifying fluctuation jolted him out of his conscious world.
Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were few. The First Killing Array — the Imperial Dao Array —had been extinguished, and the enemy had gone far away. The night sky was very quiet.
Was it just his imagination? He forced himself to stay alert, somewhat doubtful. Could There Are Supreme Treasures in the world, right beside him?
He opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and immediately looked at the Body Slaying Banner and the God Slaying Banner. Unfortunately, both the flag and the flagpole were broken into several pieces.
"Wang Xuan?" Qing Mu called out. Although he had been told not to approach the area for a while because a killing formation covered the vicinity of the house, he was still shocked.
Just now, the blinding light almost tore through the void, especially one beam of light, which was terrifying. It shot into the sky, distorted time, and caused space to collapse.
What kind of era is this? The extraordinary is decaying, Mythical Eternal Silence, yet such power still exists. Qing Mu was quite pathetic just now, collapsing to the ground.
Only now did he come to his senses and slowly get up.
This was even after he had stayed away from the killing formation. Moreover, the killing light was not aimed at people near the manor, but only at enemies who dared to break into the formation.
"This magic array... is truly terrifying beyond belief. Even in the Exhausted Era, it could kill Transcendent Immortals." Old Master Liu Huaian murmured. His will was as strong as iron, but he was also stunned just now, suppressed and sitting in his chair with his body slightly convulsing.
"I'm fine." Wang Xuan scanned the area with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye. He had used many rare items to set up the First Killing Array, but none of them There Are Supreme Treasures.
That extraordinary aura, capable of suppressing all things and being unparalleled, vanished in an instant without a trace.
"What did you see just now?" Wang Xuan asked Qing Mu, wondering if There Are Supreme Treasures had appeared. As for Chen Yongjie, he was overjoyed to have a son and a daughter and wouldn't be here tonight; he was out being a stay-at-home dad.
"An unprecedentedly powerful mythical aura; one of the most terrifying beams of light, intertwined with gold and silver, pierced the heavens..."
"It feels like it could kill an Earth Immortal," the Mechanical Xiao chimed in.
Wang Xuan was puzzled again. The banner of the Body Slaying Banner was silver, while the God Slaying Banner was gold. Was there any connection between them?
"Was the strongest beam of light interwoven with a grid of gold and silver?" he asked further.
Liu Huaian said, "No, it soars straight up into the sky, piercing the heavens, like a cascading Heavenly River, or like a Chaos Light rising upright."
According to him, a hole was punched in the sky at that time, and the Carefree Boat actually appeared, but it seemed to be frightened, tore through the void, and retreated directly.
This is outrageous. Wang Xuan was lost in thought. He dug out the fragments of the Body Slaying Banner and the God Slaying Banner and fiddled with them for a long time, but he couldn't figure out anything.
"The First Killing Array is called the Imperial Dao Array. Could it be related to these two precious flags?" he murmured. It is rumored that when the two flags are combined, the Dao Control Banner may reappear.
However, after studying it countless times, he always felt that the two small flags were indeed very different from the real treasure and were not parts of the treasure.
He personally examined all the strange objects, but couldn't find a single clue, not even his Spiritual Heavenly Eye could detect anything.
Wang Xuan instructed Little Bear to control the firepower and launch a killing attack from a distance, saying, "Take it easy, don't get carried away!"
The Mechanical Xiao was quite cautious. It didn't take any action itself, nor did it start the spaceship. Instead, it sent out a robot that appeared above the magic circle and launched a sudden attack.
Boom!
The robot exploded, shredded by a blinding beam of Supernatural Light. The First Killing Array was indeed terrifying, but Wang Xuan did not find any treasure.
He frowned. This time he was very clear-headed, his Spiritual Heavenly Eye were fully open, but he still found nothing and did not capture any unusual phenomena.
"Does it have to There Are Supreme Treasures pressing down on it, for it to awaken and unleash its unparalleled power?"
This is troublesome. Where can we find such a treasure?
The two founders on the Carefree Boat were both frightened away. Without even thinking, it's safe to assume that their paranoia had kicked in, and they must have thought that Fang Yuzhu, Yan Mingcheng, and the others hadn't left and were still in the mortal world!
The two pioneers were scared away and probably won't dare to show their faces again anytime soon.
Even if those two don't return to the Immortal Land, they might be hiding somewhere else.
Wang Xuan glanced at the ground; some of the Good Fortune True Crystal had dimmed. Each revival of the killing formation consumed enormous amounts of energy. In this era, using such Heavenly Treasures to provide Supernatural Power was truly the most extravagant waste.
"I can't use it many times." Wang Xuan sighed inwardly. He had obtained nearly three hundred Good Fortune True Crystal in the Supernatural Light Sea, but after giving some away, he only had about one hundred and eighty left.
The revival of the First Killing Array consumed nearly forty units in just a short time.
Of course, this enormous consumption is probably related to the revival of that mysterious treasure, which caused the entire magic array to violently increase its power, which was really "beyond the scope".
The robots didn't actually consume much energy when they attacked.
Wang Xuan replenished his Good Fortune True Crystal, keeping only twenty pieces to sustain himself, while burying the other hundred-plus pieces underground.
"Qing Mu, I have a feeling that I may be asleep for a long time this time. Don't worry, I have a rare item called True Crystal. Even if I sleep for a long time, my body will not wither. Do not try to force your way in."
Wang Xuan earnestly and seriously warned that no matter what happened, they should not approach the house.
"Wait a moment," Qing Mu called out, quickly leaving and then returning with a package. He placed it outside the killing formation, its surface shimmering with light. Inside were various colors of Good Fortune True Crystal, which Wang Xuan had given to him and Chen Yongjie.
Some time ago, the master and apprentice discussed it and decided to keep it for him, but now Qing Mu has brought it directly to him.
Wang Xuan paused for a moment, then put it away.
Time flies, one month, two months...
Six months have passed, and the house is covered in dust, but there is still no movement inside. Qing Mu and the Mechanical Xiao look out every day, but he never appears.
Chen Yongjie became a young old father. While spending time with his wife and children, he would often come over, but Wang Xuan did not recover. The place was very quiet.
"There's no use in being anxious," Liu Huaian said. He also lived here. Apart from practicing his boxing and visiting Old Chen's two children, he spent his days reading various ancient texts and studying Wang Xuan's problem, but unfortunately, he was still at a loss.
No one from the outside world disturbed them, because the commotion here six months ago was too great, illuminating the entire suburbs and even causing a hole to be punched in the sky by an unknown weapon, which was truly terrifying.
That night, some people in Ancheng were deeply moved after seeing it.
A year has passed, and the house remains silent. The grass and trees in the courtyard have withered and bloomed, and the Bauhinia flowers have faded and faded. Spring comes and autumn goes, and the cold winter snow arrives again.
During this time, Qin Cheng and his wife often came, as they lived in Ancheng.
Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin also rushed over from New Star to visit Wang Xuan, but it seemed to be isolated there. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and nothing inside the house could be seen.
Time passed, and two years went by. Chen Yongjie could no longer sit still. Who could sit idly for two years and remain dormant for so long? Qing Mu and Liu Huaian also believed that Wang Xuan might have gotten into trouble.
However, no matter how much they called out from outside, there was no response from inside.
During this time, Wang Xuan's parents naturally visited him many times, but were comforted by Qing Mu and others who told them that Wang Xuan had gone on a long journey to study the path to transcendence and might not be able to return in the short term, or perhaps he was in seclusion.
There are naturally many people paying attention to this place. Even though two years have passed and Wang Xuan has been missing for a long time, he is still one of the key targets of observation by all parties.
It could even be said that he is a landmark figure in the Supernatural Domain, and many conclusions can be drawn from his state and his performance.
Two years later, in the dead of night, a wisp of the primordial spirit of Supernatural Being approached, only to be silently annihilated. A Micro Mechs appeared and instantly turned into iron filings.
In the following months, there were at least a dozen disturbances, but they were all instantly eliminated by the First Killing Array.
Humans are social beings. No matter how good the friends or how close the relationship, they will gradually fade if they don't see each other for a long time and lose contact.
Over the past two years, many people have come here, such as Huang Ming, Qi Liandao, and Zhou Qinghuang.
Besides Zhou Yun, Zhao Qinghan, and Wu Yin, Wang Xuan's university classmates Zhou Kun, Su Chan, and Kong Yi would also stop by to visit him when they came to Old Earth New Star.
But as time went by, people gradually accepted the fact that he was in a deep sleep, and fewer and fewer people came, and the place became quiet.
Time flies, and almost three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The autumn wind sweeps by, and yellow leaves flutter in the air. In Wang Xuan's courtyard, there are not only withered leaves, but also messy weeds. The original garden scenery is no longer what it used to be, and it is a desolate place.
This chapter is a bit short; I'll resume updating with two chapters a day starting tomorrow.
