Ling Qian was speechless, having seen it all clearly. Wang Xuan's calm and indifferent attitude showed that he didn't treat the three people with any respect; he simply kicked them out and sent them away.

She glanced at him discreetly. Was this her cousin Ling Wei's ex-boyfriend? He looked just like the rumors.

Over the past three years, even after venturing into the depths of space and returning from the outside world, she has heard many legends, all related to "King Earth Immortal".

He is one of the most powerful individuals in the Real World, having killed earth immortals and slaughtered more than one god, making him truly legendary.

"Wang Xuan, I... I was out of my mind, but it's not what you think. I admit that I've been living a dissolute life for the past three years, becoming someone many people don't like, but I truly have no ill intentions towards my friends," Zhou Yun explained, his face pale.

Wang Xuan glanced at him but ignored him. Thinking of the past, he sighed inwardly. The two had only become familiar with each other because of some conflicts.

He obtained his Golden Body Art from Zhou Yun's father and mastered it beyond everyone's expectations, laying the most solid foundation for his path to transcendence.

In addition, he also obtained the five pages of Golden Book of Daoism from Zhou Yun when he was at Qingcheng Mountain. After mastering it, this unique skill saved his life several times.

What impressed Wang Xuan the most was that when the super conglomerate Sun family maliciously targeted him and even sent robots and warships to kill him and Old Chen at New Star, Zhou Yun was very righteous and spoke up for him.

"Alright, you can go back now." Wang Xuan didn't want to say anything more to him. He was somewhat disappointed in him this time and didn't want to see him for the time being.

Zhou Yun opened his mouth, but in the end he silently got up. Soon after, two women came to pick him up, booked his boat ticket, and rushed back to New Star overnight.

Ling Qian also made an excuse to leave, feeling like an outsider here.

The somber atmosphere in the private room vanished, and Qin Cheng was overjoyed at Wang Xuan's return.

He and Wang Xuan were naturally very informal with each other, speaking casually. He said, "Old Wang, are you alright this time? Please don't leave without saying goodbye again, making us wait for years!"

"It should be fine now," Wang Xuan nodded.

Huang Ming immediately made arrangements to change to a different private room. It was a rare opportunity for them to get together, and everyone, including him, Kong Yun, Zhou Qinghuang, Gu Mingxi, and others, had a lot to ask each other.

They were not only speaking for themselves, but also wanting to ask the few remaining extraordinary individuals behind them: had Wang Xuan found a new path, and was there still hope for the myth?

"We're still figuring things out," Wang Xuan responded.

This caused the group to pause slightly, meaning that there was indeed no way out for those seeking transcendence. Who was Wang Xuan? If even he was in this predicament, then naturally there was even less chance for others; they would eventually decay and decay with time.

"I have to correct you, there are no more extraordinary individuals in my family," Huang Ming said bitterly, revealing the truth.

However, Kong Yun's family still has two ancestors who are physically very young but are actually much older and maintain extraordinary bodies, which is worthy of a family with sacred bird blood.

"The two elderly people said they could only last for another five years at most, and eventually they would become ordinary people again," Kong Yun sighed.

"None of our families have any superhumans left, but Shixi's family has an elderly person who is in relatively good condition," Gu Mingxi said.

Whether it's her, Zhou Qinghuang, or Chen Yan, their respective lineages and families have all completely declined, and the remaining powerful figures have been Correction of the Present World in the past three years, becoming mortals.

Wang Xuan frowned. While he was asleep, the environment faced by the extraordinary beings continued to deteriorate. It was as if they would all be wiped out, their cultivation completely destroyed, and no one would be able to stand in the Mythical Domain in the future.

No wonder even the Super Peerless back then; only such a divine object could stabilize one's cultivation and slow down decay.

Wang Xuan drank a cup of wine, thinking about many things. Given the current situation, the Transcendent Immortals were indeed going to become extinct. A hundred years later, when the last of them had all died, the mythology would be gone without a trace.

"Old Wang, are you really going to New Star in a while? Be careful, the atmosphere has changed, it's not the same as three years ago," Qin Cheng reminded him.

"I know," Wang Xuan nodded.

Gu Mingxi raised her glass to Wang Xuan and said, "Wang Xuan, thank you for standing up for us this time. We should have fewer troubles in the future, but they may resent you."

Wang Xuan didn't care. Since he was already here, if he spoke softly and indifferently, it would likely lead to more trouble.

His decision to follow his heart and directly educate the three people will only make all parties wary, and even fearful that he will settle scores with the relevant parties.

He was very clear about what some people were thinking. Now, he couldn't be weak on the path to transcendence; he had to hold on. He had become the last glimmer of transcendence.

In fact, many people think this way, even the few remaining superhumans think so, fearing that he will collapse. If he can't hold on, those who are hostile to the Transcendent Immortals may become unscrupulous, and some madmen even want to study their flesh and genes.

Afterwards, the group drank and chatted, talking about the changes over the years. Zhou Shiqian, Kong Yun, and others actually felt more deeply and were more strongly impacted than Wang Xuan when they experienced such a dramatic change, falling from the celestial realm into the mortal world.

Fortunately, they are all very adaptable. If no outsiders disturb them or if no one with ulterior motives targets them, these people will live well in their Old Earth.

"My elders... would like to come and visit you." After the atmosphere relaxed, Kong Yun said this, feeling a little embarrassed.

Beside them, Gu Mingxi, Huang Ming, and others also opened their mouths to speak. Not long ago, they informed their families of Wang Xuan's appearance as soon as possible. Some of the old folks couldn't sit still and were very excited, wanting to come and see him.

In fact, the news of Wang Xuan's appearance that night could no longer be kept secret. The cultivators in Ancheng and the remaining Supernatural Practitioner in the Old Earth all learned of it and wanted to know about his current situation.

"No need to be so polite. Tell the elderly that we can get together again another time," Wang Xuan said, then calmly added, "Don't worry about anything, there's nothing serious at the moment."

That last sentence spread that very night, and the cultivators in the Old Earth, whether they had become mortals or retained some of their cultivation, immediately felt a significant reduction in pressure.

However, some people were not happy that night after hearing the news, and even couldn't sleep well. In this day and age, there is still a Wusun Earth Immortal?

Huang Ming whispered, "Wang Xuan, if you really want to go to New Star, you really need to be careful. It would be terrible if there were any spaceship malfunctions or other incidents on the way."

It's clear that he doesn't have any problems adapting to the new environment; he's very knowledgeable about such things and has completely integrated into modern life.

The conversation then became lighter. Zhou Qinghuang, the karaoke queen, gave a heartfelt performance, showcasing her singing talent. She was indeed beautiful and her voice was even sweeter. In the end, she even sang and danced with Gu Mingxi, and the two of them had drunk a little too much.

"Wang Xuan, what do you think of Ming Xi? Back then, I tried my best to bring you two together, but you almost cleaved Ming Xi in two with a single sword strike. The blood flowed so much that she almost died. It's really..." Zhou Qinghuang brought up the old story again.

The group fell silent.

Finally, Wang Xuan raised his glass and clinked glasses with each of them, ending the gathering before returning to his manor on the outskirts of Ancheng.

The bright moonlight shone into the room, creating a hazy atmosphere. Wang Xuan sat there, examining his own condition; his physical body was naturally very strong.

With the addition of the miniature Imperial Dao Spear locked to his bracelet, he naturally had a certain level of confidence.

However, his magical powers and Supernatural Power are now Land of Nothingness.

"Is it that your thoughts have spread into reality, or is it that my Supernatural Light is reflected in the Misty Sea and cannot be withdrawn for the time being?" Wang Xuan murmured.

His spiritual power was still very strong, but it was no match for the primordial spirit of an Earth Immortal. In the hazy moonlight, he sensed the earth of his destiny, and the Imperial Dao Spear on his wrist rippled with a faint radiance.

The current Earth element is somewhat different; it's like a chasm between reality and nothingness, difficult to approach and hard to cross.

In fact, given his current state, it would be very difficult for him to even appear in the Earthly Branches of Destiny.

Wang Xuan hesitated, wondering whether he should try to pierce through the Life Earth with the exquisite and beautiful "Imperial Dao Spear." But he found it somewhat embarrassing; without the power of Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery, he couldn't even take the thumb-sized treasure into his body.

Now, he has the physical body of an Earth Immortal, but his primordial spirit power is gone. Although it is enough to deal with all kinds of unexpected events, it is still very inconvenient.

He calmed down and carefully sensed, feeling as if he were Butterfly Dream of Zhuang Zhou, or a butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi, unable to distinguish whether he was in the present world or in the Misty Sea.

His current perception of the island in the Misty Sea is quite vague. He can only vaguely sense that something is happening there, that he is interacting with some "people," and that some "wonderful things" are unfolding for his benefit.

"You're going to New Star? Be careful. Some people have dirty hearts. Don't let them ambush your spaceship halfway there." The next day, Chen Yongjie spoke with Wang Xuan, his expression solemn.

Clearly, what happened last night was no secret; even he and Qing Mu knew the details.

"Don't worry, with Bear here, there's nothing to worry about. The spaceship has been upgraded by incorporating the wreckage of several ancient spaceships, so it's not afraid of those so-called Super Battleship." The Mechanical Xiao spoke, and although it was very conscientious, it unfortunately lost its former liveliness, and its facial expression and words were somewhat stiff.

"I want to travel around and take a look around." Wang Xuan's decision wasn't impulsive. Besides wanting to wander around and see old friends, he also wanted to find some clues.

The Imperial Dao Spear was actually unearthed by Olesha, the leader of the New Arts. He wanted to understand it thoroughly and whether the flag was in the same place.

Furthermore, if he always remains in seclusion, hiding from the world, it will only make those people more suspicious and want to constantly probe his strength and weaknesses. Rather than doing so, it would be better if he took the initiative to go out and make connections; the relevant parties might then feel even more uncertain and take the initiative to show goodwill.

"The chaebol must still have some good stuff, right?" Wang Xuan pondered.

Two days later, he set off on a long journey to New Star. He was not stopped along the way and successfully came out of the wormhole.

"Wang Xuan has joined New Star!"

Wang Xuan was still in outer space when New Star broke, sparking discussion in relevant circles, like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake.
