Spring Sleep Knows Not Dawn
Springtime sleep is so sweet that one doesn't notice the dawn...
In the season of Resurrected, it's hard to get out of bed. Zhao Qinghan, with her long, flowing black hair and fair, radiant skin, lazily yawned and went back to sleep.
It wasn't until Super Material filled the air and the morning glow streamed in that she reluctantly got out of bed, revealing her long legs.
Wang Xuan had just gotten up and was refining the Red Substance, trying to transform it into a gentle Supernatural Factor, but he failed; the two could not be converted into each other.
After a quick wash, Zhao Qinghan sat opposite Wang Xuan, watching the nimble Red Substance on his fingertip constantly gather and disperse, being "forged and refined" yet remaining unchanged.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at the immortal, look at your eternal youth, bathed in moonlight, your beauty as radiant as a flower." Zhao Qinghan's smile was exceptionally beautiful in the morning glow.
"What I said earlier applies to me, but you're responsible for being beautiful." Wang Xuan helped her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Don't move, there's something on your lips."
Then, the two faces came together.
Much later, while the two were still together, the Mechanical Xiao pushed open the door and quickly covered its face, saying, "The bear came to call you for breakfast, which is already prepared. However, it looks like the bear should go eat dog food first."
Their married life was peaceful yet passionate, and overall very warm. Since they had only recently obtained the body of the Super Peerless level expert Zhen Chao, Zhao Zejun and his daughter were working on several laboratories, analyzing and trying to use the rare extraordinary flesh and blood to overcome a certain difficulty.
Therefore, Zhao Qinghan was unable to travel far with Wang Xuan after their marriage to spend quality time together.
The generous gift from Zhang Qifan, including hundreds of rare and precious medicines, also requires research.
Most importantly, Wang Xuan gave Zhao Qinghan the research results of Dao Control Banner Yudaoqi civilization during the Supernatural Winter, which may lead to major breakthroughs in several laboratories in the near future.
However, she would come home on time after get off work, and the two of them lived a busy, fulfilling, and wonderful life.
Wang Xuan continues to explore the world of the Supernatural Source, and frequently visits several key laboratories, sending them wisps of Red Substance to observe, collect data, and use the most advanced super brain to analyze and "understand".
Their new home is outside Ancheng. After all, several key laboratories are located here, and their residence is very close to the homes of Chen Yongjie, Qin Cheng, and Qing Mu. They can reach them by taking a walk.
It was another sunny morning. After seeing Zhao Qinghan off, Wang Xuan created a place for cultivation deep underground in his house.
This time, he plans to take the Carefree Boat to search for that golden plant, hoping to hunt it down.
Although he doesn't feel the urgency yet, he wants to take action early and try to collect various rare herbs to see if they are effective for those around him.
Even in this era, he can still go on, but not to mention the Transcendent Immortals who have sunk into the mortal world, even his closest relatives cannot, and cannot see any hope.
In the silent underground, Wang Xuan set limits for himself, requiring him to "clock out" on time in the evening. He didn't need to take risks or isolate himself from the world; living in the Real World was also a form of spiritual practice.
Whoosh!
After many years, he once again brought the treasure into the world beyond the Life Land. When he thought of the Nurturing Life Furnace, he was slightly lost in thought, hoping that all those who had crossed the sea were well and that he could see them again.
In the Misty Land, in the rough pool, the silver immortal liquid was running low, almost dried up. The leaves of the First Immortal Tea had all fallen, and the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Vine and other heavenly herbs, rooted on the earthen mountain, had also withered.
"Are they all dead?" He examined them carefully and concluded that they should still be alive, but their leaves had all fallen, like withered plants in the cold winter, waiting for spring to revive them.
He pondered that the Great Universe Error Correction was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Even this Land of Nothingness, desolate and barren, had finally succumbed to its devastation.
Fortunately, beyond the meteorite passage lies an even wider space, containing a true Supernatural Source World.
Wang Xuan quickly realized that the Red Substance was destructive and could not be used to irrigate those celestial medicines.
"The Demon Flower, with its vigorous vitality, is now also turning yellow. Is it that people's hopes are fading? After all, even Transcendent Immortals have become mortals."
This demonic flower, also known as the Flower of Eternal Life, is not currently displaying illusions to him and has no offensive power. It looks sickly, but thankfully, it hasn't lost all its leaves.
If we understand it correctly, and it is the flower of hope that people yearn for in order to live forever, then it is probably hard for it to die. There will always be people who are obsessed with it, such as Wang Xuan himself!
The temperature of the Misty Sea is indeed not as high as during the extraordinary period, and its intensity has been reduced.
In addition, his primordial spirit is now stronger, and he feels as if he is swimming in warm water, without feeling any harm.
After leaping out of the Misty Sea, Steal Time from this place; the flow of time is similar to that of the Real World, something he had experienced and felt before.
The sea was extremely dangerous, with various meteorites and intense red light falling from the sky. The level of red energy here had increased significantly, posing a certain threat to Wang Xuan. He felt like he was about to burst into flames, but he could hold on.
To expedite his journey, he boarded the Carefree Boat, carrying the Imperial Dao Spear in his hand—a powerful weapon sufficient to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
"Does the extraordinary origin world have real living beings?" Wang Xuan asked himself. In all these years, he had never seen one; it seemed that there was only energy and strange objects here.
Could it really be related to the microscopic world, or is this simply a manifestation of the source of power?
The Carefree Boat was incredibly fast; no wonder it was said that one could use it to cross the sea of stars. A streak of light flashed by, and fragments of time exploded, appearing near the treasure.
Wang Xuan had a kind of understanding of taking shortcuts in the Sea of Time.
Soon, he arrived at the end of the red supernatural Matter World. From there, he looked out over dozens or even hundreds of sources, creating a colorful Matter World that was so dazzling that it was easy to lose oneself in it.
He chose the golden world, and with a whoosh, he crossed it. He had been here once before, and now the treasure carried him to the edge of the world in an instant.
With a loud boom, a huge golden wave crashed down and covered him. He didn't use the Imperial Dao Spear to disperse it, but instead bathed in it, a feeling that was somewhat "bitter".
His primordial spirit was in great pain. If the Red Substance was like an endless sea of fire, then this place was like endless thunder, and he was being struck by lightning!
His entire body was interwoven with golden light, and he swayed uncontrollably. When he opened his mouth, the light of his primordial spirit mixed with lightning. Every move he made was accompanied by lightning.
Undoubtedly, as long as he can withstand it and absorb it into his primordial spirit, the various techniques he uses now have astonishing destructive power.
In an instant, he unleashed the ultimate techniques of the Demon Lord and her father, the Myriad Immortals Tribulation Song. Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky. He felt that this single strike would shatter Mu Qing into dust and turn Gou Dun into a mangled corpse!
"Wow, this is really powerful. Could this be the Lightning World, transformed into a golden ocean?" He wondered if the power of the Heavenly Tribulation originated from this source world.
However, this cannot stand the test of time. He is now more powerful than an Earth Immortal and his strength is close to that of Master of Nurturing Life, but if it were the Sea of Heavenly Tribulation, he would still be annihilated, body and soul.
He was battered and bruised by the golden waves, and was in excruciating pain. Although he was more resistant than when he first encountered the Red Substance, he still felt a tearing pain.
The Imperial Dao Spear and the Carefree Boat remained silent, but their silent devouring was evident throughout their journey. Though quiet, their bodies betrayed their true intentions.
As Wang Xuan crossed the sea, the waves crashed against him from time to time, propelling him far away. This process, with the ocean crashing and the sea sweeping, was extremely damaging to his primordial spirit. However, if he could endure it, it would be the best baptism.
According to various ancient texts, using lightning to cleanse the primordial spirit is a very high-level activation and enhancement process. As long as one can persevere, there will be tremendous benefits in the end.
He endured for a long time, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. Too much of a good thing can be bad. He didn't push himself too hard. It's important to have a balance between tension and relaxation on the path of cultivation. If you push yourself to the limit, you might suddenly break.
He activated his treasure, Carefree Boat emitted a hazy light that enveloped him and blocked the boundless raging waves.
The deeper they ventured into the golden ocean, the more dazzling the waves became, crashing and splashing towards the sky like a terrifying calamity.
Wang Xuan was moved. If he hadn't brought any treasures and was simply cultivating in this world, he would never have ventured into such a place on his first visit; he would have needed to adapt gradually.
The depths of the ocean are extremely dangerous. Even with his cultivation level surpassing that of an Earth Immortal, if he stays there for an extended period, his primordial spirit may be "melted away."
Crossing the sea is monotonous; apart from the wind and waves, there's only the golden sky that blends into the sea—the whole world is just one color.
"There is no living thing in the sea, not even a single creature." In fact, when he sailed his Carefree Boat into the sea, beneath the golden ocean, all was deathly still, without any seaweed, let alone "schools of fish" or anything like that.
He believed that this was merely a manifestation of a golden ocean, not the actual sea.
Sailing through this world, surrounded by nothing but himself, he felt a sense of loneliness even though it hadn't been long, and he really wanted to encounter another creature.
Thinking of the plant from last time, with its buds swaying and releasing a sky full of light, and its fruits exuding fragrance, he is now more and more convinced that it was something extraordinary.
The appearance of such a "Divine Plant" in the lifeless ocean is extremely unusual.
Hunting in the sea in search of rare medicines was too monotonous, so he came to the sky, his Carefree Boat breaking through the clouds, looking down at the ocean from above.
In the end, he even activated his supreme treasure, attempting to break out of this world to see what was happening outside this source world.
Beyond the colorful and Supernatural Source World, there was also an endless void. While traveling through golden clouds, his body suddenly stiffened.
He seemed to hear voices coming from beyond the realm, from the boundless heavens, like whispers, like friends having a secret conversation.
What's going on? He simply couldn't believe it!
Could there really be life in this desolate, Supernatural Source World?
He listened attentively to the whispers, which, like a gentle breeze and fine rain, nourished his heart silently, making him feel completely at ease. His spirit emitted a shower of light, flowing through this space and time, and in a trance, he felt as if he were about to ascend.
The voice was soft but not simple, as if a mysterious person was communicating, and the vibrations came from Unknown Place, making Wang Xuan feel as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face.
He was so engrossed in the experience that he even felt a sense of languor, as if he wanted to fall asleep there. He quickly tried to wake himself up. What was this experience like?
His spirit glowed, his whole body relaxed, as if he and Zhao Qinghan had fallen into a gentle embrace. He felt as if time was passing by leisurely, as if he didn't want to get up in the spring, and wanted to continue resting, dreaming of eternity.
