New Chapter: Awakening

On the island, Wang Xuan felt his mind calm down. Looking at the distant Thatched Hut and those occasional figures, his mental state returned to normal and stopped soaring.

"Have we really arrived in a New World?"

His advanced Fourteenth Stage, combined with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, allowed him to perceive malice in the unseen world, but he didn't find it here, so he set off.

In the Real World, amidst the cold winter snow, the Mechanical Xiao had stood there for a long time and had long since turned into a little snowman.

"Let's go, there's no hope for him anytime soon, he won't wake up for the time being." Liu Huaian came over and pulled the little bear away.

The old man was over ninety years old, but he looked like a young man. He was shirtless in the wind and snow, his bronze skin covered in sweat, and white steam was rising from his short hair.

Regardless of the season, he practiced Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery were useless in this era, but his martial arts skills never went to waste, and he was very active every day.

As the last snow melted and early spring arrived, daytime temperatures gradually rose, and the wild grasses in Wang Xuan's yard were the first to sprout, displaying remarkable resilience.

On the same day, the Mechanical Xiao sensed something and quickly appeared, uttering a stiff voice. "Wang Xuan, are you awake?"

Three years have passed, and the room has remained silent. Today, Wang Xuan gradually awoke from his meditation. He looked down at himself and saw a layer of dust on his clothes.

In his hands and in his bosom, some of the Good Fortune True Crystal had dimmed; it was these that provided him with the purest Super Material, ensuring his bodily functions did not decline.

"Little Bear, I'm awake. You wait outside and don't rush into the killing formation." Wang Xuan slowly got up, supporting himself on the headboard, gradually adjusting to the situation.

For three years, he remained silent and motionless, essentially a vegetable. Anyone else, even if still alive, would have long since suffered muscle atrophy and become emaciated.

He slowly stretched his muscles and bones, his blood flow increased, and he was in good health with no major problems.

"Has the transcendent gone far from me? No, he has found New World of transcendence, but everything about it is rather vague, and things related to mythology cannot be projected for the time being."

Wang Xuan whispered as his primordial spirit departed and entered the meteorite passage. He felt more and more that the separation between reality and mythology was intensifying, and even memories related to the extraordinary seemed to be fading away.

However, he knows that there is nothing wrong with his path, and he is still in good condition.

This gave him a strange experience: was he projecting his primordial spirit into the Land of Myth in the sea of Red Mist in the real world, or was he actually in the Land of Nothingness, projecting his perception into the Real World?

One person, two sides of the same coin, living simultaneously in both reality and mythology.

Wang Xuan moved around in a recovery manner, gradually regaining his vitality. He wiped the dust off the mirror in the bathroom and looked at his face. There was not much change. The white hair at his temples had decreased, leaving only a dozen or so strands.

This manor belongs to a branch of the Secret Path organization. Qing Mu lives here year-round and had just finished practicing boxing with the young Liu Huaian Huai'an.

Three years have passed. In this special era, Qing Mu has steadily advanced to the perfect realm of Grandmaster. This was achieved through the combined efforts of two young old men who relentlessly pushed him to practice martial arts every day.

"I used to be able to use Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery too, but alas, that era is gone forever." Qing Mu was covered in sweat, but his body was very strong. He simply rinsed off with cold water.

"What, he's awake?!" He was surprised and quickly put on his training clothes, appearing with Liu Huaian in front of the Mechanical Xiao.

Wang Xuan pushed open the door and stepped out. With a slight tremor, a faint light flowed through his body, and the dust vanished. Although his memories related to the extraordinary were becoming hazy, and the extraordinary had entered the Misty Sea, his physical instincts remained, and his every move still showed abnormalities.

"You've finally woken up. You've been asleep for over three years!"

The two people and the bear were very excited. In their hearts, they had a bad feeling and were mentally prepared for the worst.

Who can remain unconscious for three years, almost losing all their breath? Now, Wang Xuan emerges unharmed, his eyes bright, and he walks out calmly. It's truly astonishing.

"I'm fine," he said.

"Unfortunately, my master just left Ancheng yesterday." Qing Mu said, quickly taking out his phone to contact Old Chen.

Wang Xuan stopped him, saying, "Don't call him over yet. Let me try it out and see if I've completely gotten rid of that drowsy state. Otherwise, if he comes and I'm still asleep, I still won't be able to see him."

New Star, it's summer now.

In the gym, a young and beautiful woman with almond-shaped eyes wiped the sweat from her face with a towel and walked a short distance away, looking at a young woman with a cool and elegant demeanor and outstanding appearance.

"Zhao Zhao, you're quite something! No wonder you once stepped into the Supernatural Domain. You exercise every day. Your figure is making my mouth water," the woman with phoenix eyes said with a smile.

Three years have passed, Zhao Qinghan hasn't changed much. This photo is taken in her own gym, where her best friend is visiting and, influenced by her, is also working out.

"Fine."

Zhao Qinghan smiled. This amount of activity was just a warm-up for her. She changed into her swimsuit, jumped into the pool with a splash, and disappeared in an instant.

She had a slender figure and fair skin, like a mermaid stretching out her body, elegant and fast, and swam back and forth in an instant.

The woman with phoenix eyes looked at her long legs, slender waist, and amazing curves, and was amazed by her stamina. The way she cut through the water was breathtakingly beautiful. She immediately exclaimed, "This isn't swimming, it's practically a talent show! Teach me how to get such a great figure!"

"Born that way," a voice came from the pool.

"That's not a fair way to put it. I think I'm naturally beautiful, but I'm always lacking something." The woman with phoenix eyes was named Jing Yue, one of Zhao Qinghan's best friends.

Seeing that Zhao Qinghan had finally come ashore, she handed her a bottle of fitness drink and said, "Are you going on a long journey to the Mihai Starfield soon?"

"You're quite well-informed. I hadn't even decided whether to set off yet, and you already knew." Zhao Qinghan wiped away the water droplets.

"Of course, what don't I know?" Jing Yue laughed, then leaned closer and lowered her voice. "I heard that several very special Ancient Immortal Corpse were discovered there, which are still intact even in this era? Several of the largest Life Gene Company are eager to obtain them, and you have been poaching people from various companies recently. Why do you suddenly want to get involved in the field of life research?"

"My cousin has told you all this. You're not really going to be my cousin's wife, are you?" Zhao Qinghan took a sip of her drink and turned to look at her.

"Judging from his performance, he's still far from good enough. Speaking of which, your cousins have all been utterly defeated by you, completely unable to compete with you. You're in charge of several of your family's most promising companies, right? Now that you've achieved some success, shouldn't you be thinking about your own career? What did you think of Qin Lan, whom I met at the banquet when the Qin Family's direct descendants returned from deep space? He's a man of exceptional talent and rare good looks, and very successful. I think he and you are a perfect match, a very pleasing sight to behold." Jing Yue said earnestly.

After Wang Xuan regained consciousness, he did not allow Qing Mu to contact Old Chen and the others to avoid fainting again and causing them to be disappointed and make a wasted trip.

However, he went home that same day accompanied by the Mechanical Xiao, because he wanted to see his parents as soon as possible.

"Did you go into seclusion to the edge of the universe this time? You're only coming back now, and your father and I were so worried!" Wang Xuan's mother scolded him on the phone, but she was actually very excited and happy.

"Don't lie to us. People outside are saying that you've been staying with Qing Mu and that you've developed health problems, yet you won't let your mother and me go see you. That's going too far." This was the voice of Wang Xuan's father.

"Didn't some people say that our son wanted to help people hunt down those two old geezers?"

When Wang Xuan heard these words, he was speechless. He guessed that those two old monsters wouldn't be showing up for a while.

Wang Xuan's parents were not home; they were traveling. After receiving the call, they immediately set off on their journey home and returned that very night.

With the family reunited, Wang Xuan's heart immediately calmed down, and his physical condition was better than ever before. He suddenly felt that the so-called True Source might need to be considered from a different perspective.

After staying at home for two days, he returned to the Secret Path organization's branch—the manor outside Ancheng.

After his primordial spirit entered the depths of the Misty Sea, the extraordinary seemed to have vanished, but Wang Xuan was not anxious at all. On the contrary, he was very peaceful and began to pay attention to the people and things around him, observing the Real World.

"In the past three years, the remaining small number of extraordinary individuals have been reduced by 90%. The world can hardly tolerate supernatural power, and magic has almost completely become ineffective."

Qing Mu revealed some information: during the three years that Wang Xuan was in slumber, the outside world was not peaceful, and some once renowned cultivators had become mortals one after another.

Furthermore, over the past three years, the spiritual light of extraordinary individuals and miniature detectors have come to explore the manor more than once, but they have all been eliminated by the killing array.

"As for the New Star, apart from Old Zhong is still hiding somewhere, most of the other financial groups have recently returned from deep space."

Wang Xuan was not surprised to hear this. Zhong Yong was the first to run away back then, and given his personality, he would probably be the last to come back.

However, Old Zhong, who had fled overnight carrying the warship, had plenty of time. Before leaving, this man over a hundred years old made one last leap, mastering the Golden Cicada Technique and regaining his youthful state.

Wang Xuan dismantled the First Killing Array. The strange objects used to set up the formation were fine, but over the past three years, various parties have come to investigate this place. In addition, even if the killing formation does not revive, maintaining a state of silence still consumes energy, and most of the buried true crystals have dimmed.

"The last batch of Good Fortune True Crystal will finally decay and perish in this era." Wang Xuan felt no regret or pity.

Over the past three years, he has resolved his biggest problem. The New Primordial Spirit is no longer a threat, and now he can just wait patiently.

Although the First Killing Array is no longer protecting him, he believes that the two founders of the Supernatural Palace and the Gouchen Imperial Palace will not dare to reappear for at least ten years.

Three years ago, not to mention those two, even he was shocked. With a terrifying treasure reviving, how could the two great ancestors not have something to think about?

Wang Xuan unearthed all the strange artifacts and sighed inwardly. An era had ended, and he wondered when the so-called First Killing Array would be able to be reenacted.

After dismantling the killing formation and sorting through various Heavenly Treasures, Wang Xuan looked at the shattered Body Slaying Banner and God Slaying Banner, the Iron Stake broken into several pieces, and the short sword with its tip shredded and its body full of cracks.

He wanted to find someone to repair these treasures, which had accompanied him through his battles until the Supernatural Finale. He had grown attached to them, especially the God Slaying Banner, which had taken him to and from the Land of Nothingness many times and had even taken the initiative to protect him, waking him up and preventing the demonic flower from invading his primordial spirit.

In comparison, even the powerful and miraculous Nurturing Life Furnace never actively protected him.

"Qing Mu, help me contact some cold weapon workshops and see if there are any left. I want to reforge these items."

"Yes, Old Zheng, Master Zheng Yunhai." Qing Mu immediately had a candidate in mind.

Wang Xuan recognized the name and then remembered that when he went to New Star, Chen Yongjie had asked Old Zheng to make a replica of the short sword and issued Wang Xuan a certificate of authenticity for a modern handicraft.

Back then, all of this was naturally so that Wang Xuan could successfully bring the genuine, indestructible short sword onto the spaceship, claiming it to be a masterpiece crafted by a master.

Qing Mu took the short sword, broken flag, and other items to find someone to repair them.

Chen Yongjie returned not long after he left, and upon learning that Wang Xuan had awakened, how could he possibly remain calm?

"You actually let Qing Mu keep this from me for two days!" he complained, his emotions fluctuating wildly, and he was very agitated. "Are there any hidden dangers this time?"

"The biggest problem has been solved," Wang Xuan said, then expressed regret that he hadn't seen the two little ones from the Old Chen.

"I've arrived first, and the two children and their mother will be here soon."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Let me recover for a while longer, and see if I can help the two children to strengthen their bodies and cleanse their physical forms."

"Great!" Chen Yongjie's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

The next day, Qing Mu rushed to Wang Xuan and said, "Something's wrong! There's something wrong with your pile of broken flagpoles, short swords, and other items!"
