His angular face gives him a rugged look, and his physique is very strong, which suggests that he is in a state of peak strength.

"Wu Ming." Wang Xuan had seen this person before. He had seen him at the Old Fox Dojo when he went to the secret place to pick up Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin and bring them home.

Old Fox later speculated that this person of dubious origin was probably once an extraordinary figure, since he was found as a desiccated corpse, floating in the cold universe for many years.

Wu Ming had suffered from amnesia for a long time, but later recovered some of it. He then left the secret place and disappeared without a trace.

Besides this example, the journal contains other speculations and records about extraordinary people, such as their realms of cultivation and their retracing of past realms, but with completely different meanings.

Returning to the Human World, I see mountains again, and water again; living in this world, I return to simplicity.

Like the Carefree Journey, it is not only a spiritual journey but also Physical Roaming. It involves revisiting and perfecting one's old path in ancient times before embarking on a new path in this era.

The Master of Nurturing Life has truly devoted himself to health preservation, and has almost never taken action again... It is speculated that he may no longer be fit to fight.

Wang Xuan pondered for a long time. By then, he had already returned to his Old Earth by hitchhiking. Soon, he achieved a state of spiritual unity.

"Dad..." The two little ones can call out now. They are no longer satisfied with crawling on the ground and can take their first steps, although they often fall down.

But they persevered, stumbling along, pacing with pacifiers in their mouths and reaching out their little hands, lunging at Wang Xuan.

"Hug." The boy's Wang Ye. He was chubby and had tire treads on his arms.

"My dad!" The younger sister, Wang Xin, was a bit assertive. She looked at her brother with her big eyes, then decisively squeezed past him, and the two of them fell on their bottoms at the same time.

Although half of Wang Xuan's primordial spirit had traveled far away for more than half a year, the outside world was unaware of it and only saw him living a peaceful life in Ancheng.

On ordinary days, he would accompany Zhao Qinghan to practice Old Arts, and have a drink with Chen Yongjie, Qing Mu, and Qin Cheng. Regarding the battle in the starry sky, many people thought it was an infighting among the participants.

Occasionally, he would take his two children and fly into the night sky under the moonlight in this Exhausted Era, strolling among the clouds.

So, the two little ones are very attached to him, always dreaming of flying through the air, and they always grin from ear to ear, laughing very happily.

Wang Xuan did his best to satisfy them, taking care of the children in his daily life, Morning in the North Sea, Evening in Cangwu, crossing thousands of miles in a single day. Unfortunately, those sacred mountains and those ruins were completely silent, with no one left.

He sometimes felt a sense of loss, realizing that in this era, it was truly difficult to find kindred spirits to cultivate, to have exchanges with, or to witness a vibrant and prosperous era of cultivation in this Great Universe —it was all too possible now.

Amidst the bustling world and towering skyscrapers, he stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper at night, watching the neon lights and the dazzling modern city. It was a time of great activity and noise, yet he still felt a sense of tranquility.

In the Mythological Era, Transcendent Immortals fought fiercely, and demons ran rampant. He longed for a return to peace, but when that day came, the Supernatural World collapsed, and no one could cultivate anymore. His feelings were different again.

I wonder how Old Zhang is doing, whether the Nether Blood Sect is still alive, whether Fang Yuzhu and the Sword Immortal crossed the sea safely, and how Yan Mingcheng and the Demon Lord are doing.

Wang Xuan hoped that if they succeeded, they would live in a magnificent and extraordinary Great World.

He sighed softly. In the dead of night, gazing at the city ablaze with fireworks, he shook his head and felt a pang of nostalgia for the mythical era, when extraordinary beings were a common sight, Hundred Schools of Thought Contend contended, each vying for supremacy.

"People can't be idle. If they are idle, they will think too much. Isn't this kind of life good? Many people have worked hard for it in the past, and in the end, the chaos disappeared. We sent away a series of disasters such as demons, Mu Qing, and ghost spirits. What more could we ask for now?"

To this end, he kept himself busy, spiritually traveling to the Supernatural Source beneath the Earth of Destiny, cultivating diligently, and also Physical Roaming to lost places such as the North Sea, Penglai, and Guanghan Palace.

He even took Zhao Qinghan and their two children with him, piloting the Carefree Boat into the Higher Mental World for an unconventional journey. With his and the treasure's protection, there was no problem at all.

The Jade Pool was silent, Peach Garden was still. Wang Xuan stood there watching, and only when the two children happily called out "Daddy, hug me!" and "Mommy, you're beautiful!" did he come back to his senses and smile.

Zhao Qinghan longed to visit this place. She took photos, kissed her child for a group photo, and then took a family photo, showing an incredibly bright smile and genuine joy.

But behind her smile, there are also times when she feels down.

"In this era, I am just an ordinary person, and I ultimately lack the right Supernatural Factor. I don't know how long I can accompany you."

"Don't overthink it. If I can keep going, I will find a gentle path and take you with me," Wang Xuan said.

"I'm glad you say that, but reality is never the most beautiful vision in people's hearts. If one day I grow old and die with the passing of time, you don't need to be sad, you don't need to have too many obsessions. I have lived a fulfilling life, with you and a son and a daughter, and I am already very satisfied," Zhao Qinghan said calmly.

"Don't say such things. As long as I'm here, you're here too."

Zhao Qinghan looked at the Peach Garden and said, "The only way out is probably to enter another universe. But have you thought about it? It seems to be very chaotic there. It's a golden age of Supernatural Golden Age, but also an era of countless battles. Even the so-called 'common ruler' is being hunted down, and the race may be wiped out. What will happen if we go there? Will the two children also have to live in such a world?"

Zhao Qinghan thought far ahead, then shook her head and smiled, saying, "Life is a hundred years, and I should be able to live longer. I hope our children are safe and sound, even if they are just ordinary people, grow up healthy, peaceful and happy. I don't want them to live a life of uncertainty, struggling in blood and fire every day."

"I don't want them to live a life where they constantly face life-or-death situations." Wang Xuan nodded, extremely solemnly.

He sighed softly. Although he had considered guiding his two children onto the path of cultivation, the universe would never see a turning point. He had never seen the Extinction God revive within a few decades. This wait would probably be millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years.

But if he leaves this universe and enters the Supernatural Central World, what can he use to guarantee the safety of his wife, children, and parents?

There, it might not be a battle between individuals anymore, but rather a conflict between races. It could be praised as a reflection of different civilizations, or it could be cruelly and realistically revealed as a struggle for survival between races and civilizations.

Such splendor and magnificence are viewed from the perspective of time, from a detached viewpoint. But those who are actually in the midst of it, living through such a great era, may not find it beautiful; behind that magnificent prosperity lies endless slaughter.

In the Supernatural Great Universe, a short period of dormancy might not be a problem, but any unexpected event could be fatal, and Wang Xuan's strength is insufficient to protect everything.

In particular, although he did not go there, he was already being watched by the "common master" clan behind the experiencer. He broke the Great Red Sky Saber and actually fought the Shake Dao Hammer.

This race will not give up his inexhaustible Exotic Power Space Pool, intending to refine him into a puppet body, lure enemies into this universe, and destroy invincible opponents such as the Mechanical Race and the Beast Garden.

Once he enters the Supernatural Universe, he will be targeted as soon as he is forced to reveal the Imperial Dao Spear. Bringing his wife, children, and parents into the Supernatural Universe is too risky.

In fact, he has no way to open that road now.

Moreover, even if the passage could be opened, it would cause a huge commotion, making it impossible to pass through quietly.

"We'll let the two children take their natural course, without forcing them to pursue spiritual practice. As long as they're healthy and safe, that's enough." This was the couple's mutual decision.

Wang Xuan suddenly thought of his parents, and a strange look appeared on his face. He had thought about it many times, and naturally had nothing to hide from Zhao Qinghan.

"You know, if my parents were extraordinary people who never guided me onto the path of spiritual practice, would they have the same mindset as us? They were powerless to change their circumstances, faced a challenging environment with formidable enemies. So, they just hoped I would grow up safely, get married, have children, and live a happy life."

"Ah, Mom and Dad are extraordinary people?!" Zhao Qinghan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise; she had never thought of this before.

"I'm just saying, maybe, I can't be sure. Sometimes I feel like Old Wang knows too much," Wang Xuan said.

More than once, Wang Zesheng and Jiang Yun were able to tell him stories about extraordinary people, always attributing them to "miscellaneous books," which made him think more deeply.

Most importantly, the two once gave an example, mentioning that even an old man selling wontons might be an extraordinary person, and that he should pay attention to everyone in the real world and not be careless.

As a result, following the footsteps left by the ancients and the moderns, he arrived in Yuncheng and actually encountered the old man who sold wontons and lived in the past. He seemed to be an extraordinary person who, just like the story he had heard when he was a child, was struck by lightning and died.

"If your parents are extraordinary people, then you might be much safer entering the Supernatural Great Universe." Zhao Qinghan had been worried about him the whole time.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Even if they are extraordinary people, their condition is also very special. Whether they can make a move is another matter. Furthermore, you will have enemies of equal standing. If they are extraordinary people, and they did not teach me cultivation back then, that alone is enough to explain the problem. Their own situation will not be easy; it may be quite severe."

At this point, he smiled and said, "Perhaps, if I catch up later, I can help them. If our children are willing to embark on this path themselves, I sincerely hope they will surpass me."

"Do you think they put the peaches here last time?" Zhao Qinghan began to speculate.

"At this point, it cannot be confirmed that they are extraordinary individuals."

"Let them mentor Wang Ye and Wang Xin more," Zhao Qinghan with a smile.

Time flies silently, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Seventeen years have passed since the end of the Mythological Era. Wang Xuan lives a peaceful life, cultivating himself and integrating into the modern world. His two children Wang Ye and Wang Xin, are almost two years old.

Time cannot heal all wounds. Many people are still obsessed with finding the extraordinary, especially those who have seen visitors from beyond the world fiercely fighting with Wang Xuan in the cosmic passage. This is enough to prove that there is a Supernatural Great World beyond our own.

In late autumn, on this day, a thunderous message arrived from the Old Earth, carrying a slight chill.

Depths of Starry Sky, banners such as the Monster Summoning Banner and the Immortal Gathering Flag appeared one after another, summoning the Supernatural Practitioner the past in the lands of Land of Immortal Dao, Immortal Land, Land of Deities, and Land of Life Technology.

This news was earth-shattering, breaking the tranquility of this era. Rumors circulated that the Great Universe Channel was about to be opened, which could lead Transcendent Immortals and gods on expeditions!
