New Chapter, New Path

The heat was unbearable. A red glow appeared on Wang Xuan's body, and a thick Red Substance emanated from him. He immediately stood up, no longer able to sit cross-legged at home, fearing that the house would catch fire.

He pushed open the window and flew out. At this level, his physical body was capable of flight, and he rushed quickly towards the outside of Cloud City.

Even in the extraordinary era, he couldn't do that; he could only travel with his primordial spirit. If his physical body wanted to fly, he needed to rely on a rare treasure. After the myths disappeared, he actually reached this level.

"It's... Wang Xuan!" Someone spotted him, quickly took a picture, and then excitedly posted it on a video platform with the caption: My neighbor is an earth immortal!

Media outlets contacted him immediately to request content, offering paid services and expressing a willingness to collaborate long-term. Some even wanted to buy his house outright.

Wang Xuan landed in the Great Black Mountain. The ground was cracked everywhere, and some of the peaks had collapsed, caused by someone attacking with flying swords last time.

Wang Xuan went underground and created a simple stone chamber. Modern technology is too advanced, and he didn't want anyone to capture the scene of his cultivation.

The moment he stopped suppressing it, a rich Red Substance emanated from his body. This Supernatural Factor was too domineering; anyone else at the same level would definitely not be able to withstand it and would be burned to death.

This is the result of his long-term exposure and adaptation over many years.

In the past, he could only attract wisps of light, but now it is very intense. The radiant light flows through his flesh and blood, like crimson fire or blood-red lightning, burning his whole body red, and some parts of his skin are even turning charred black.

"Fully opening up isn't enough." His pores were burning red, this extraordinary attribute was too strong, even fatal to a terrestrial immortal.

At this moment, the activity of all the cells in his body was greatly enhanced. This was because they were constantly being replaced. Some cells that had been burned and damaged were reborn under the nourishment of the Supernatural Factor.

"A transition period is needed; things are too volatile right now, and we can't get things done in one step." He was cautious and not in a hurry to achieve results.

Most importantly, the primordial spirit had just entered the life soil and had not yet truly returned, yet it had already burned the extraordinary soil below to a bright red, as if it were about to melt.

The combat power he possesses now is not the result of the return of his entire primordial spirit, but rather the fact that most of his primordial spirit has transformed into divine light and shone upon him.

"Are we getting close to the Master of Nurturing Life?"

Regardless of whether the realm has been reached, he believes that if the primordial spirit completely enters the mortal world and merges with the physical body, in terms of combat power, it should be close to that level.

He took it very seriously, believing that in his future cultivation, he should perhaps allow his primordial spirit and physical body to merge and gradually become one, instead of remaining separate.

He had an impulse to test just how strong he was in his complete form, but after trying it briefly, large areas of his body were charred black.

"I seem to be really... strong!" he muttered to himself. There was no doubt that he had surpassed the Earth Immortal. If he were to encounter Shang Yi again in the Real World, he would dare to charge straight at him with the Imperial Dao Spear and hunt down the Sword Madman.

Back then, Shang Yi surpassed the Earth Immortal realm, which led him through a life-or-death ordeal. Even his Inner Scenery Realm was destroyed by his opponent. Now, he is no longer inferior in terms of realm.

With his increasingly powerful Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he saw the truth beneath the earth of destiny. In addition to the primordial spirit emanating Red Substance, he also saw two other points of light.

One represents the new interior, and the other represents the essence of flesh and blood; both now exude vibrant life and Red Substance.

Wang Xuan's brief attempt to communicate with the light point representing his physical body and return it, if it were to merge with his current flesh and blood, might directly improve his physique!

In an instant, his expression changed. The point of light emitted a red glow, no different from the domineering crimson light within his primordial spirit, and it would burn through his physical body.

"Actually, my physical cultivation is not lagging behind. As long as I fully integrate that light spot back, my physique will undergo a transformation."

However, it cannot be accomplished overnight. His current body corresponds to the myths of the old era, and it may not be able to withstand the impact and will decay.

Ultimately, it requires a gradual transformation, just like the primordial spirit; it cannot be achieved in one step.

In the stillness, he resonated with his primordial spirit; that was him, and he was the primordial spirit, inseparable. Soon, he understood everything that had happened over the years.

His primordial spirit has departed, and he continues his arduous cultivation, like a solitary traveler embarking on a journey alone, exploring new realms of the extraordinary, and seeking new horizons.

As for his thoughts and feelings in the present world, they naturally left behind some core spiritual imprints, and can also be considered as consciousness radiated back from his primordial spirit.

The two are intertwined and not much different; both are practicing cultivation. One is exploring a dangerous new realm of the extraordinary, while the other is experiencing enlightenment in the Real World.

Both are about Carefree Journey, one is a spiritual journey and the other is Physical Roaming. Both are about comprehending the laws and the Tao, and improving themselves, but it is difficult to demonstrate their combat power in reality.

After all, that's the general environment.

However, once he enters a different world, his experiences in the Real World and the various classic texts he comprehends can quickly be transformed into real strength.

The new environment explored by the primordial spirit can bring back endless Supernatural Factor, which is equivalent to changing the world and allowing him to obtain power from within himself.

"Extraordinary people in the Real World are always trying to improve their cultivation. If we give them a different world and let them enter the Supernatural Universe, they can instantly transform their insights into power."

In fact, if the decaying Transcendent Immortals were to enter a brand new, Supernatural Great Universe during their lifetime, they could easily return to their original level, if not elevate it.

"The red Supernatural Factor I currently possess is not suitable for the people around me; it's too domineering. Some people might be able to absorb a few traces, but it would be meaningless."

Wang Xuan communicated with the primordial spirit and discovered that "Butterfly" was working hard and wanted to break into another Supernatural Source land with different colors in the near future.

The primordial spirit wanted to find a new substance that was less violent and gentler, so that those around it could also absorb it and improve their spirit and physique.

Perhaps that is the real new path, suitable for more people. Right now, he has only found his own path, which is not universally applicable.

His next destination was not the silvery-white Super Material source that exuded Killing Intent, but a dazzling golden world.

That light was omnipresent and sacred, as if it could Shine Upon all things and nourish all spirits.

"Is it feasible?" If he could break into the second Supernatural Source, he could not only help those around him, but his own strength would also increase significantly.

Currently, his primordial spirit has discovered dozens or even hundreds of "source worlds," which manifest as various extraordinary powers, as if every inch of flesh and blood corresponds to a Supernatural Source.

"If I go far away like this, won't I be silent for many years again, and my primordial spirit suddenly disappear?" Wang Xuan wondered to himself. He didn't want to be stuck in this "ten-year" cycle again.

It's been almost nine years since the myth ended. He's either in a deep sleep or on the move, though he's also "Physical Roaming" in the Real World, experiencing and cultivating himself.

However, this path, lacking powerful Supernatural Abilities and Sorcery, is tedious and difficult. If one is locked onto by a fleet of ships, one may be killed.

The primordial spirit reported that it would not disappear this time; the two were one, inseparable, and the butterfly that had gone far away could return at any time, instantly returning to the physical body.

Moreover, his physical body now requires intense "training" to gradually adapt to the Red Substance, and it cannot yet withstand the full fusion of his primordial spirit.

Some of the Red Substance on his body receded and returned to the world below his destiny, while a portion remained, gently cleansing his physical body and allowing him to slowly adapt and transition.

He then began to study the treasures. Today's gains were truly immense; he had acquired two complete treasures in one go.

The Carefree Boat, only an inch long, is like a fine work of art carved from an olive pit.

"Can it travel in reverse time?" He didn't inject Super Material. Right now, this treasure is too aloof. He doesn't plan to provide it with Supernatural Factor. He'll deal with it when he needs it.

He examined it closely, using his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to capture its internal patterns. It was a chaotic mess, blocking his view. Even the occasional glimpse of a Dao pattern was as vast as a starry sea.

He could briefly soar into the skies of history by piloting the Carefree Boat, but it came at a price that he simply couldn't afford at his current level.

That Forbidden Domain can only be entered after reaching the Super Peerless level. He will not touch it now, to avoid getting himself involved.

Then, he looked at the Life Pool.

"What a pity!" Wang Xuan searched, but there were no Dao Burning Lamp's Dao Pattern in the pool, and the materialized sacred rules were gone.

Wang Xuan understood this. The Dao Burning Lamp had been shattered in its final battle against the Dao Control Banner, thus losing its qualification to compete for the title of the number one treasure.

Now that it has reappeared, it is impossible for it to coexist with the Imperial Dao Spear; it must inevitably go far away.

The Imperial Dao Spear remained silent throughout, neither hindering nor making things difficult for it.

"If it can find the rough prototype of the supreme treasure in the next Mythological Era, it may reappear." The Imperial Dao Spear emitted such a fluctuation of consciousness.

Besides the scratches left by the Imperial Dao Spear and a terrible little pit on the Life Pool, there was another "groove" at the bottom, which had been damaged by a shot!

Is this a trace left by another Supernatural Universe?

Even the Imperial Dao Spear was surprised, and it took the initiative to revive, communicating with the Life Pool and inquiring about the origin of its wounds.

Finally, the Life Pool responded, informing that there seemed to be Supernatural Great World, and that it, along with another "contraband item"—the Silver Shield —had painstakingly opened up a vast expanse of land.

There, Super Material poured forth, and it endured the attack of another Great Universe. In addition to the expansion of the Supreme Rule, terrifying blades flashed through the passage above, striking it and leaving "wounds" at the bottom of the pool.

It was shot down, while the other treasure-level forbidden item, the Silver Shield, was actively accepted by that universe and returned to that Great World.

In fact, the ability to penetrate the rift in the Great Universe was mainly due to the forbidden item Silver Shield, which triggered a resonance in that universe; otherwise, it would most likely have failed.

"Interesting. Accompanied by a terrifying burst of blade light, it can leave a scar on this treasure of the universe. I'll have to see it someday and see if I can break it." The Imperial Dao Spear emitted a wave of energy.

Wang Xuan was also pondering: a shield and an unknown, terrifying longsword—could they be a set of weapons? That seemed rather frightening.

What's going on on the other side? They actually managed to cleave the Life Pool back, preventing it from traversing the Great Universe. That's really strange.

At the same time, he also learned that two of the three powerful individuals from the Land of Technological Life were hiding in the Life Pool and were directly annihilated by the blade light, their bodies and souls instantly destroyed, and even the supreme treasure could not protect them.

The other person hid behind the Silver Shield and rushed into that Supernatural Great Universe; it's unknown what the final outcome will be.

"If there are no prohibited items belonging to that universe, is it possible to forcibly open that passage?" Wang Xuan pondered. Could a complete Dao Control Banner be used to blast it open?

The contraband item— the Silver Shield —originally belonged to that Supernatural Universe and was brought here by a former experiencer, the mysterious "Dreadful Spirit Pioneer."

Two days later, Wang Xuan left Great Black Mountain and returned home, only to find a lot of messages accumulated on his phone, all left by acquaintances.

First, there was a message from his parents. They were currently in New Star Old Earth, telling him not to delay. They were having tea with Zhao Zejun and discussing his wedding with Zhao Qinghan.

"We're getting married." Wang Xuan was slightly lost in thought.
