A true spiritual journey... The moment this thought came to mind, Wang Xuan felt as if a door had been opened, revealing a somewhat different path.

What better "true path" than a spiritual journey to the true source?

Although he is still out of contact and can no longer see the "butterfly," he is now at peace and no longer feels any anxiety.

It must have been that his primordial spirit had gained enlightenment and witnessed the "real world," believing that rushing into it would bring immense benefits, which is why he recklessly leaped out of the Misty Sea.

"So, does that mean I've actually broken through and am now at the Great Realm of Carefree Journey?" he pondered.

Moreover, it is a virtual journey in the "real world," which can be called a "true Carefree Journey," and its value is beyond doubt!

Regarding his own state, lacking a primordial spirit, and why he hadn't Gains and Losses, he believed it could be understood as before. It was because his true self, while wandering in the real world, had some of his spiritual thoughts radiating into the Real World.

"It's still two sides of the same coin, and I'll gradually get used to it." When the other self returns from his spiritual journey, he will be Supernatural Practitioner at the Great Realm of Carefree Journey, and he will surely surpass even the Earth Immortal.

At that time, he was no longer comparable to an Earth Immortal in strength. He believed that after his spiritual journey, he would break through to a higher realm.

He withdrew from that state, no longer searching for the lost "butterfly," and the aura of detachment from the mortal world on his body immediately faded. However, as he pondered his own affairs, he unconsciously drifted off into thought.

At this moment, he was gazing at the Azure Sea and did not pay attention to or respond to Zhao Qinghan's question earlier until Jing Yue repeated it for her best friend, at which point he turned to look.

"My parents are still alive, and I don't know if they would agree to my traveling far away. Besides, I'm still in the exploratory stage, and none of the paths I've taken are mature yet."

Wang Xuan responded to Zhao Qinghan, saying he didn't mind saying certain things and wasn't afraid of anyone knowing what he was thinking or what he was going to do.

Jing Yue was very surprised. Was this person too obsessive, or was he truly "beyond expectations"? He was far more extraordinary than anyone had anticipated. Could he really continue the new legend?

"Wang Xuan, come quick! We've reached the area where the dragonfish are known to be, get ready to start fishing!" Zhou Yun shouted. He had gathered a group of acquaintances to go out to sea together. Sea fishing was just one of the activities; all of this was just an excuse to keep Wang Xuan company for longer.

The sun had already risen above the sea. The weather was good for this trip, with little wind and waves. In the distance, one could vaguely see huge sea creatures.

Wang Xuan remained silent, and the bait included wild buffalo and gazelles.

The so-called navigational mothership, also known as an aircraft carrier in the old days, was a bit of a waste to use for fishing for dragonfish; most people wouldn't do such a thing.

Wang Xuan had little interest. He felt that he was really about to leave. Everything in this world was far removed from the immortal path and the immortal scriptures he pursued.

Going out to sea like this is not as interesting as chatting with Old Zhang, discussing swordsmanship with the Sword Immortal, and talking about all sorts of anecdotes and secrets of the immortal path.

Soon after, the bell rang loudly, the waves surged in the sea, and a silver dragonfish took the bait and was caught. It was very large, its scales shimmering with white light, shining brilliantly.

"What luck! We caught a silver dragonfish, a top-grade ingredient. It's rare to find one even among a large group of black dragonfish. Hmm, let's prepare it on the spot; this will be top-quality sashimi. We're in for a treat!" Zhou Yun said happily.

Not long after, Wang Xuan tasted the silver dragon fish slices on the ice and felt that they were just so-so, overrated.

"Zhou Yun, do you have any more good wine? Bring some out," someone said.

Zhou Kun, Su Chan, Qian Rui, Li Qingxuan, and others arrived, making the place quite lively. Finally, Zhou Yun took out several jugs of fine wine, and as soon as they were opened, their aroma filled the air.

Wang Xuan recognized it at a glance. It was the one he had sent out back then. The cave of the Demon Lord and Qi Tian was ransacked, and it contained not only various rare items, but also a large amount of top-quality ingredients and fine wines.

Zhou Yun said, "Actually, these all belong to Wang Xuan. Back then, I sent out quite a few according to his wishes. Qing Han knows this, but most of you were in deep space at that time and didn't get to enjoy those mythical delicacies. Now, only a few bottles of wine are left."

Li Qingxuan sighed, her face full of regret, and said, "I've heard about it. Sea God Conch, True Dragon Meat, Golden Roc Wings... Just thinking about it makes me regretful. I'll never have the chance to taste them in this lifetime. They are all legendary species, and I've missed out on them."

"I vaguely heard people mention things like Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow, and fine wine and jade liquor. Zhao Zhao, didn't you leave me any back then?" Jing Yue perked up as well. She had naturally left New Star back then.

"There was a horse with a big appetite, and a Little Fox who liked to eat meat. Most of the food went to those two, and there was nothing left," Zhao Qinghan said.

Jing Yue suddenly realized that King Earth Immortal had even casually given away such mythical ingredients, so the meal she mentioned yesterday at noon, which required tens of thousands of New Star Coin for top-quality ingredients, seemed to have become less top-quality. Wang Xuan might not have been interested in it, but he didn't say anything at the time.

"Do all Transcendent Immortals drink this kind of wine?" Jing Yue asked. As for sea god conch, roc wings, dragon meat, and the like, she had no hope of them; she had missed out on them in this life.

Wang Xuan took a sip, frowned slightly, spat it into the sea, and said, "No, these wines were collected by a supreme expert, but now... the taste is wrong. They no longer contain Supernatural Factor, so they have become ordinary wines. They can barely be considered aged wines."

Zhou Yun immediately said, "Little Wang, Brother Wang, don't throw up! There are only a few bottles left of this wine. These days, a bottle might occasionally appear outside. It's a unique item that can be auctioned off and fetch a sky-high price."

"Really? It's still so valuable now." Wang Xuan only drank a small cup and then left it untouched. To him, it couldn't compare to the taste before, and it was no longer considered a fine wine.

Three years ago, Zhao Qinghan naturally enjoyed plenty of mythical food and immortal wine, but now she's not so interested anymore. She went off to fish and chat with Wang Xuan.

Li Qingkong, who had gone to the Old Earth with Song Yuan and Zheng Haoran to cause trouble, was also here when his sister Li Qingxuan took the opportunity to teach him a lesson and whispered a lecture, "Someone like you dares to go to the Old Earth. Back then, they could even eat dragons and drink Immortal Brew. They are still earth immortals now. Don't cause trouble for no reason, and don't be so coy. Go and apologize properly later."

In the afternoon, the sun at sea was scorching. Wang Xuan was in the cabin and didn't participate much in the sea fishing. He called Zhou Yun over, preparing to leave early.

He wanted to leave the New Star today. There was no need to be too deliberate about the comings and goings in life. It was time to leave and from then on, he would focus on pursuing a new and extraordinary path.

"Ah, so fast, he's only been out for a short while." Zhou Yun was surprised. He could also sense that Wang Xuan seemed to have renounced worldly affairs, and there was a strange sense of otherworldly detachment about him.

"Get me a yacht, I'm heading back now. You guys continue your gathering," Wang Xuan said.

Huge waves surged up, white spray crashing against the massive mother ship. A monster appeared in the sea—a creature resembling a dragon rose up, exuding terrifying pressure and radiating crimson light, as it swooped down towards the people on the mother ship.

It was enormous; after bursting out of the sea, it crashed down like a small mountain, carrying an extraordinary aura.

Screams erupted from the ship. The turn of events was too sudden; there was no time for any of the firearms to fire. The creature, mingling with the group of dragonfish, suddenly leaped up and attacked, which was a disaster for the people on board.

Even Wang Xuan was deeply surprised. This was a creature at the third level of the Extraordinary Realm. It was extremely rare for such a demon to still exist in this era.

In an instant, he thought of many questions: Was it an accident, or was it deliberately arranged by someone to send this beast to test him?

But he didn't hesitate. These were all his classmates, acquaintances, and friends, and he possessed an extremely strong physical body that was close to that of an Earth Immortal. In a flash, he arrived at the bow of the mother ship. His speed was simply too fast.

Wang Xuan was burning with Good Fortune True Crystal. On his wrist, the bracelet suddenly swelled up, and at its front end was the Imperial Dao Spear, which was like a beautiful work of art, covered with gold and silver patterns.

In this world, only earth There Are Supreme Treasures retain their mystery. Right now, the Imperial Dao Spear has undoubtedly been activated by the energy provided by the Good Fortune True Crystal, giving it a powerful and dazzling appearance to the outside world, making it seem as if an earth immortal is using Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery.

The Imperial Dao Spear, wreathed in the most sacred runes, shone brilliantly, illuminating the vast ocean, and with a soft thud, pierced into the massive dragon monster's body.

The dragon monster was hundreds of feet long, its lower half resembling a coiled snake mountain, while its upper half swooped down. In that instant, it was pierced by the Imperial Dao Spear, its entire body becoming transparent. Then, the massive mountain of flesh turned into ashes, disappearing completely on the sea surface and above the mother ship.

This shocking scene astonished everyone.

"Is this... an Earth Immortal?" Everyone was stunned, their hearts trembling.

Jing Yue looked at Zhao Qinghan, then at Wang Xuan. What level of Supernatural Power did he possess that he could destroy a hundreds-of-meters-tall dragon monster with a single blow?

Soon after, the mothership returned, and Wang Xuan departed in a silver-white spaceship, traversing the wormhole and heading towards his Old Earth.

As Jing Yue accompanied Zhao Qinghan to watch the spaceship depart, her expression was complicated. She whispered, "Zhao Zhao, your classmate is actually not bad. What do you think?"

On that day, Wang Xuan returned to his Old Earth and studied several paths to transcend this world. He still felt that none of them were mature enough, especially the other version of himself in the other world, whose spirit had not returned to the real world and therefore Lu Wufa.

But his demeanor and aura became apparent to his parents when he returned home, and his otherworldly air became even stronger.

"You went to New Star but didn't bring our daughter-in-law back. Didn't you say there was a nice girl there before?" Wang Xuan's mother asked.

"I feel like we're drifting further and further apart. After the world returned to normal, I feel somewhat estranged from their circle. I probably won't go to New Star anymore," Wang Xuan said truthfully.

"What are your plans?" his father asked.

"I mean... if I were to leave now and try to follow the path of Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, Yan Mingcheng, and Jiang Qingyao, and go far away from them, would you agree?" Wang Xuan asked.

"What are you thinking? Get yourself a wife first. Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring!" His father slapped him on the back of the neck. In this day and age, probably only a married couple would dare to discipline him so directly.
