New Chapter: Armies at the Gates

The person who possesses the treasured Life Pool may be an unknown individual, or it may involve a former adversary.

For example, the two powerful figures from the Gouchen Imperial Palace and Supernatural Palace had approached Wang Xuan in the past, piloting the Carefree Boat, but were frightened away by the aura of the revived Imperial Dao Spear. Have they come again this time?

These two "Super Peerless" individuals are quite unethical; they betrayed Fang Yuzhu, Yan Mingcheng, and others. In crucial moments, they truly have no bottom line.

Or has Shang Yi appeared? This is Wang Xuan's most feared enemy, someone who could truly threaten his life. However, he feels this time it's not like that. If it were Shang Yi, he would have attacked directly without any scruples.

Shang Yi has two bodies, both of which can be called his true form, and both are equally powerful. The one wielding the World-Crossing Sword has probably already departed and is on the path of the Highest Mental World.

As for the other body holding the Ascension Banner, it was chased by several mysterious people who blew up its Inner Scenery Realm and injured its physical body, so it is estimated that it was severely injured.

New Star and Old Earth had intermediaries contact Wang Xuan, and clients in Deep Space had repeatedly entrusted him to make transactions with Wang Xuan, but he refused them all.

This matter did not become a secret and spread. It made people more and more convinced that someone had their eye on Wang Xuan and wanted to mess with the Earth Immortal.

"Puff!"

A flower of blood bloomed, and yet another wild fox was shot dead by the Mechanical Xiao. This was the seventh fox in three days. These beasts spoke human language and spread rumors, and each time they appeared, they were quickly eliminated.

However, Wang Xuan's neighbor recently received a dream from someone, and this situation remains unresolved; without a powerful spiritual spirit, it is difficult to find the person hiding in the shadows.

When night falls, Wang Xuan sometimes goes out, his body shrouded in crimson light, his Immortal Blood surging. Only after walking through the streets will everything quiet down, for those primordial spirits fear the blood energy naturally released by the immortal.

Because of this, not only those in the shadows, but also many organizations in the New Star and the Old Earth realized that Wang Xuan's primordial spirit seemed to have a real problem. Otherwise, why wouldn't he use it?

New Star Media invited commentators, including Li Tianxian and Zhou Yaosheng, to comment that the most glorious era has come to an end, the torrent of history has swept by, and no one can stop the trend.

They claimed that the occasional breaches in the Great Universe passage of the Immortal Land might only be isolated incidents, temporarily reviving the gods and allowing the powerful to reappear.

Some believe that the two are subtly manipulating the narrative, but this has sparked ongoing discussions and brought the once-faded brilliance of the show back into the spotlight.

Of course, the ultimate point of reference will more or less mention Wang Xuan.

"Now, it's almost certain that Wang Xuan's Earth Immortal body is decaying and declining. First of all, warships bombarded him, and flying swords attacked him at night, all aimed at the gods of the Immortal Land, but he didn't go on a expedition or seek revenge, which is very unusual!"

"Secondly, there are all sorts of supernatural events happening in his city right now, but he hasn't used his primordial spirit to suppress them, which also speaks volumes."

The person speaking may not be speaking from their own heart, but is merely following orders to create a trend that makes everyone "realize" that King Earth Immortal is no longer capable and is about to fall.

In this atmosphere, the client in Deep Space began to exert pressure, instructing an intermediary to inform Wang Xuan that he was determined to obtain the Book of Years.

That night, six or seven flying swords appeared, some as red as blood, some Zi Ying, and some emitting a dazzling golden light. They were colorful and extraordinary, and they flew across the sky above Cloud City from time to time, carrying a rich amount of supernatural substances, and recklessly cleaving through the heavens and earth.

What does this mean? Is it a show of force, an attempt to create the impression of a large army pressing in?

In fact, the Mechanical Xiao immediately became enraged. It locked onto the flying sword at night, opened fire in succession, shot down two of them, and then used Energy Beam to shatter the third one into pieces.

However, the enemy intensified their efforts, and soon more than a dozen flying swords appeared, sweeping across the city. This time, they were not in the high sky, but circled around the shopping malls and hovered near the tall buildings, using the buildings to block the firepower.

After doing this, the Mechanical Xiao dared not act rashly, for fear of harming innocent people.

"There was more than one person, and some of them were disgusting and extremely annoying." Even Chen Yongjie couldn't help but speak up.

Wang Xuan wasn't incapable of killing the hidden primordial spirits. As long as he activated the Imperial Dao Spear, whether it was a flying sword or a primordial spirit flying through the air, they would all fall down with a crackling sound.

However, such a commotion would be too great, and the consumption would be enormous, like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot down a small bird. He didn't want to scare away the real big fish.

The next morning, the young Liu Huaian arrived and brought Wang Xuan a dusty, ordinary pool.

Wang Xuan recognized it at a glance: the Pool of Rebirth, the Zhong family's most powerful treasure, comparable to the God Slaying Banner of yesteryear.

"Old Zhong is here?" he asked in a low voice. He didn't believe Zhong Yong was dead at all, because he knew Old Zhong's character quite well.

How could someone like that be deliberately killed in a plane crash? If he were so easy to kill, how could he have lived to be over a hundred years old?

Liu Huaian nodded. Old Zhong had come to his Old Earth to reminisce, officially distancing himself from the vast family business and no longer serving as the head of a conglomerate.

The last air raid was orchestrated by Old Zhong himself. He wanted to use it to escape and also to see how everyone reacted, and whether anyone hostile to the Zhong family would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

If the Zhong family's descendants fail to live up to expectations and cannot uphold the family's reputation, he can always take action again, mobilizing the fleet in deep space to crush any unruly elements.

Old Zhong and Liu Huaian were old acquaintances. Back then, Old Master Liu often accepted Old Zhong's commission to go on adventures. Even his last disappearance was because he accepted Old Zhong's commission.

That time, Old Zhong personally accompanied them and was truly terrified. They lost two or three Super Battleship and fled overnight, losing all face. They didn't dare to return to their Old Earth for nearly thirty years.

"Please thank Old Zhong for me," Wang Xuan said.

Liu Huaian nodded and left to keep Old Zhong. Lao Zhong had come to Old Earth and was preparing to stay permanently at the Qing Mu's Manor.

That evening, more than seven flying swords appeared again, and even more so, with ten more soon flying towards the outside of Cloud City.

"Wang Xuan, they might attack me," the Mechanical Xiao said calmly. It could throw flying swords, but if the opponent's primordial spirit were to leave its body and attack it directly with its spirit, the bear, which had lost its extraordinary power at this stage, could not withstand it.

"Don't be afraid, I've arrived." Wang Xuan's voice rang out. In fact, he had been watching outside the city the whole time. When he saw a streak of light flash by, leaving a afterimage, he arrived in an instant as a terrestrial immortal.

The silver-white spaceship was just outside Ancheng, not far away. Wang Xuan stood there with a cold face. The other party was gradually provoking his psychological bottom line, and was poised to make a move, becoming increasingly aggressive.

"King Earth Immortal, what's your decision? Are you going to sell the Book of Years?" Another phone call came in. This attitude, this step-by-step coercion, disgusted Wang Xuan to no end.

"I haven't killed a powerful figure in many years. If you want the Book of Years, come here in person. But even if I dare to take it out, do you dare to accept it?" Wang Xuan replied coldly.

"What's there to be afraid of?" someone said calmly on the other end of the phone.

Buzz!

The next moment, in the not-so-large city of Cloud City, seventeen flying swords appeared, dazzlingly bright, like a shower of meteorite light streaking across the darkness.

Clearly, many organizations and powerful forces were watching this night.

Wang Xuan glanced at the world beneath the Earth of Fate and sighed inwardly. He felt that this was enough. Did he really have to wait until he reached the Great Realm of Master of Nurturing Life before returning? Unfortunately, he still couldn't contact his primordial spirit.

"Little Bear, go into town and park the spaceship in the square next to my house. Stop illegally for now," Wang Xuan said.

The silver-white spaceship was fearless against enemy ships, but it couldn't deal with the primordial spirit now. It couldn't allow the bear and the spaceship to be harmed, and it was also afraid that its parents would be targeted, so it had no choice but to stay together.

A moment later, seventeen flying swords crisscrossed, weaving brilliant beams of light, hovering near Wang Xuan's house, a blatant provocation that escalated step by step.

Without saying a word, Wang Xuan took out a large piece of Good Fortune True Crystal, about half the size of a fist, very full, flowing with red and purple light, and used it to directly activate the Pool of Rebirth.

With a whoosh, all the flying swords circling around Wang Xuan's house in this area fell to the ground in an instant, accompanied by terrified screams.

"No!"

"Ah..."

Under the cover of night, some Divine Statue nearby flew by like streaks of light, disappearing into the Pool of Rebirth with mournful cries.

Then, the whole world fell silent. The Mechanical Xiao ran out and brought back a stack of flying swords, all sorts of colors.

After their primordial spirits were taken away, these extraordinary weapons became ownerless.

Those who were following the developments in Yuncheng were dumbfounded and felt a chill run down their spines.

Not long after, Wang Xuan posted photos on social media, quietly selling flying swords, and wrote, "Many people are interested in the weapons of Transcendent Immortals, finding them mysterious and coveting but unable to obtain them. Tonight, while strolling around, I picked up seventeen of them outside my house. Those who are interested can bid on them."

Even though it was already late at night, the platform was in an uproar. Many people were stunned. It was truly a dreamlike experience, with an overly strong mythological feel.

"King Earth Immortal finally took action in person, wiping out the attackers in one fell swoop, and taking a huge amount of spoils!"

This caused a huge stir, waking up many people who were fast asleep with phone calls from their friends. Those were supposedly divine weapons, and now a whole bunch of them were on display.

"A thunderbolt struck in the dead of night, waking us all from sleep. Ah, great god, please give me a flying sword! I really can't afford one. How about I sell myself into servitude to pay off the debt?"

"What's the person upstairs thinking? Not only does he want a flying sword, but he also dreams of becoming an apprentice directly. The dream has awakened? Oh, so she's a beauty. She's quite famous lately. Seems like a good match!"

This night will not be peaceful; all major organizations are paying close attention.

Soon after, more than a dozen weapons appeared in the sky above Cloud City, including flying swords, golden spears, and other weapons, circling continuously.

It's not necessarily true that so many extraordinary beings have come; a single primordial spirit can control multiple weapons.

At the same time, in the outer space of the Old Earth, a dark fleet swept across the sky, and then returned, lingering there.

The Relevant Department in the Old Earth issued a warning to drive them away, and corresponding warships were scrambled into the air immediately.

The fleet didn't put up a fight; it stayed briefly before sailing away. But soon after, another fleet appeared and patrolled outside the Old Earth.

At this point, many people understood that this was a deliberate approach, a threatening gesture like an army pressing in, creating immense psychological pressure on some individuals.

"The bear wants to take off and wipe them all out!" The Mechanical Xiao couldn't hold back any longer.

Wang Xuan stopped it, preventing it from making any rash moves for the time being, and simply wrote a few words on the social media platform: Dare to come? I'll kill you!

Outside the Old Earth, two fleets appeared from time to time, leading many to believe that a battle between the powerful beings in deep space and Wang Xuan was about to break out.

"Go to the Old Earth. If there is a conflict, wipe out both fleets!" New Star Zhao Zejun issued the order overnight, ordering all the ships he could mobilize to set sail immediately.
