New Chapter: Piercing Through the Great Universe

Life is just like that. After returning to the Real World, although Wang Xuan is cultivating and exploring his own path, he no longer sees himself as an extraordinary person, but rather integrates well into the ordinary life.

The demons and Transcendent Immortals of the past have all disappeared. For many years, there has been no strife or bloodshed. This peaceful life has made him somewhat doubt the past, and his past experiences seem somewhat hazy.

Did he really fight against immortals and demons? He fought a life-or-death battle with an earth immortal, and nearly died fighting Shang Yi. Now, it all seems like a dream.

It has been almost nine years Supernatural Finale. Wang Xuan occasionally looks up at the sky. Yesterday has left no trace. The Ascension Banner has never appeared again. The divine war in the Immortal Land has also faded. The Higher Mental World that he and the Sword Immortal traveled together has closed. Everything is gone forever.

His life was ordinary and uneventful, and he asked himself, "Am I still an extraordinary person?"

However, it was precisely this tranquility, the absence of bloody battles, and the farewell to the days of Transcendent Immortals, that made him feel more fulfilled and settled down, which seemed to be a kind of cultivation.

He discovered that the change in his state of mind led to more communication between his physical body and his spirit. Every now and then, light would shine on his life earth, interacting with his spirit and exchanging things.

"Old Wang, my son is turning one year old. Come over for a get-together, bring Qing Han along, and give all you unmarried men and women a good beating." Qin Cheng called.

Wang Xuan agreed and promised to go.

"Wang Xuan, wanna go desert adventure? We can also go off-roading and get some exercise." This was a call from Qing Mu two days later, and Wang Xuan once again happily accepted the invitation.

This is part of his life: spiritual practice, interacting with those around him, and walking among ordinary people.

At the same time, he also had some work to do, handing over the scientific research results of the Yudaoqi civilization to Zhao Qinghan Dao Control Banner, so that she and the two research institutes invested in by Zhao Zejun could analyze them and hopefully go deeper.

He was very grateful to Qing Mu, who had sold the Earth Immortal Spring and various unused supernatural items for him before the End of the Supernatural Era, and had also helped him invest them, which was enough to sustain his livelihood to this day.

After learning about his current mundane life, Chen Yongjie not only frequently invited him to go fishing, but also began to invite him to return to work, such as joining the Secret Path Exploration Organization.

"I thought you wanted me to go back to work at that design institute." Wang Xuan thought of his job right after graduation, where Chen Yongjie, after concealing his identity, became his old colleague and boss.

"Dream on! You want to go back to slacking off again? You spend all day secretly reading the Daoist Canon and doing nothing. Don't think I didn't know back then."

Wang Xuan chuckled to himself, while reflecting on whether this was the kind of life he was going to lead in the Real World, a life that might remain uneventful forever.

Although he was relaxed and at peace, after staying there for a while, he began to miss the "glorious years" of the past.

Having distanced himself from the war of gods and no longer shedding blood for demons, he had a kind of retirement experience. It felt so unreal. After the Supernatural Finale, there was less tension and competition. Everything was like the gentle breeze in the night and the yellow leaves falling on the water, with barely any ripples.

Of course, there were also some unsettling things. His relationship with Zhao Qinghan was getting closer and closer, and as they integrated into real life, everything from the past came back to him, and he had the same feelings as before.

He examined his past trajectory and his relationships, some of which had "died young," while others were simply unrealistic. What "accumulation" could a modern young man like him have gained from his brief contact with the "ancients"? Time flies too fast; before it even began, we went our separate ways and it ended.

Facing his own heart, he realized that he had indeed had the strongest feelings for Zhao Qinghan in the past, and had even mentioned it to his parents. They had known each other for a long time and understood each other very well.

In Yong'an City, New Star, Jing Yue has been Zhao Qinghan's cousin-in-law for over two years.

"Zhao Zhao, I think you should just immigrate to the Old Earth. Go there every few days and stay for ten days or half a month at a time. It will be very difficult for New Star to find you," Jing Yue teased.

Zhao Qinghan leisurely sipped her drink with a smile and replied, "I'm busy with a project. My dad also invested in a lab, which is highly complementary to my research institute. It's now showing some progress, and I need to keep an eye on it myself."

"I bet you're keeping an eye on someone. How's it going with Wang?" Jing Yue asked gossipyly, her phoenix eyes gleaming slightly.

This time, Zhao Qinghan smiled. This smile, which came from within, was serene and natural, making her seem to glow with a certain inexplicable radiance, youthful, vibrant, and beautiful.

"As expected, it was him in the end. I've known for the past two years." Jing Yue pinched her glowing, fair cheek.

"Just focus on your pregnancy." Zhao Qinghan slapped her hand away.

During the years that Wang Xuan was away, Zhao Qinghan also examined her own heart. After their separation, especially when she thought that they were now separated by the universe and that it might be difficult to see each other again for decades or even centuries, and that the chances of reunion were slim, she realized that this outcome was too disappointing and left her feeling empty. This was not the ending she wanted.

"Are you... planning to stay in this Old Earth for a long time?" Jing Yue asked.

To her surprise, Zhao Qinghan nodded directly and readily admitted, "Yes!"

Thump!

A few days later, when Wang Xuan accompanied Zhao Qinghan to climb Mount Hua, he clearly felt a jolt. However, when he looked around and at the people around him, he found that no one else had any reaction.

In an instant, he saw the projection of his primordial spirit appear above the Misty Sea, casting a beam of light that resonated with him.

What was going on? Was it not a tremor in the present world? He keenly sensed that it was an earthquake in the Supernatural Realm of the present world? But all of that should have ended by now.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Qinghan was dressed in a plain white tracksuit, looking clean and neat, which accentuated her beautiful figure and gave her a healthy and graceful appearance.

She was used to Wang Xuan not sweating no matter how steep the mountain path he walked, and even when he carried her up and down cliffs, his breathing was steady. She handed Wang Xuan a bottle of water.

"It's nothing, it must have been my imagination. The Supernatural World seemed to tremble just now," Wang Xuan replied truthfully, trying to sense it with his heart, but there was nothing unusual.

He took the water, drank two sips, and then tightened the cap. He then noticed that Zhao Qinghan had taken the water and naturally took a sip herself.

"What are you looking at? This is the only bottle of water left." Zhao Qinghan now possesses the physique of a perfect Grandmaster, and even after her Supernatural Finale, her physical strength remains excellent.

Because she has always been training and practicing, and has never stopped.

Now, although she wasn't very tired, being stared at by Wang Xuan made her face slightly flushed, and her red lips looked even redder and shinier after being moistened by the mineral water.

Wang Xuan helped her gather her long hair, which was slightly obscuring her eyes, to one side, and naturally kissed her cheek.

"I hate people who flaunt their love all the time, regardless of the occasion!" A panting man climbed up from a distance and happened to see this scene, so he said this.

Four days later, Huang Ming came to see Wang Xuan and told him that something might have happened in deep space.

"Kong Yun has an ancestor who went deep into the universe in his early years. He sent back a message from beyond the realm, saying that four days ago, a violent explosion occurred in the Immortal Land and the Land of Scientific Life. The starry sky seemed to collapse, and for a brief moment, a violent amount of extraordinary matter poured out like a river bursting its banks!"

This news shocked Wang Xuan. The Mythical Eternal Silence for nearly nine years, and everything had come to an end. How could something like this happen?

Turning the pages of cultivation history, after the extinguishing of past Supernatural Civilization, darkness descended into perpetual winter; there has never been such a unique case before.

"It's not that the supernatural has revived. It's just that for a brief moment, the Great Universe seemed to have been pierced through, and supernatural matter surged in, but it quickly ended. Only the Supernatural Practitioner near the Immortal Land and the Land of Scientific Life received a 'great boost.' Apart from that, no other major events unfolded or occurred that we can look forward to."

The news Huang Ming brought was quite astonishing, even Wang Xuan was unsettled. What exactly caused the commotion in the Supernatural World four days ago?

"It's unclear at the moment. Let's wait for news. I'll let you know as soon as there are any updates." Huang Ming left.

Although the extraordinary journey has ended, he still holds some hope for Wang Xuan, hoping that King Earth Immortal can continue. For Wang Xuan's own sake, and for the sake of all of them, a strong person is needed to keep things in check.

"You're not going to go into the depths of space again, are you?" Zhao Qinghan's beautiful smile faded, fearing that Wang Xuan's departure would mean many more years.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. No matter what's in deep space, I won't leave right now." Wang Xuan shook his head. He had his own path to follow, and nothing could tempt him to travel far at the moment.

Five days later, the latest news came that a major event had indeed occurred in deep space, and it could no longer be kept secret. Some people in the Immortal Land and the Land of Scientific Life had learned of it.

"It's those three powerful individuals from the Land of Science and Life who jointly possess the treasure, the Life Pool. They've made their move this time, trying to leave this universe and traverse an ancient path, which has caused such a huge commotion!" Huang Ming said solemnly.

The two men and one woman who live in the Life Pool are very strong. They were all once Super Peerless and studied mythology, but at the same time they also conducted various scientific experiments. They are following a path that combines the two.

Because their ancestors came from another universe, arriving on a mothership, but those ancient people couldn't return and couldn't find their way home.

The path these three powerful beings wanted to take was the journey their ancestors had taken. After so many years, they finally located the source, where there was a cosmic rift.

"It is said that they activated the most powerful mothership left behind by the ancients. That ancient ship contained forbidden items from another universe, which were extremely powerful!"

Wang Xuan was aware of this claim. In the secret realm, he had encountered several normal, relatively peaceful and kind-hearted ghosts who mentioned that the Nurturing Life Furnace was a prohibited item in this universe.

He asked in surprise, "On that so-called strongest mothership, there are prohibited items from another universe that have been activated?"

"Yes." Huang Ming nodded and said, "At the same time, the treasure of this universe— the Life Pool —was also activated by them. The forbidden items from the Great Universe erupted together, opening up that ancient road and that rift."

Wang Xuan's Earth's Core, which had been at peace for many years, was now being battered by waves. The fact that those three had made such a commotion was truly remarkable.

"Did they succeed?" he asked.

"At that time, the Great Universe may have truly been breached. A forbidden item from another universe erupted with dazzling light, as if triggering some kind of resonance. The 'otherworld' seemed to be actively drawing it in. Although the mothership burned and broke apart, but..."
