New Chapter: Departing Across Universes
Amidst the ethereal mist and shimmering rain, Wang Xuan's physical body was nourished by the light of the immortal path, and his primordial spirit was reborn, becoming even stronger and more resilient after being tempered by this great tribulation.
When he mobilized the five-colored Mythological Factor after activating the Earth of Fate, he no longer experienced such intense pain. Even when activating the sixth, seventh, and eighth factors, he did not reach his limit.
Becoming an immortal is a qualitative transformation, a rebirth for the entire being.
At this moment, he was both physically and spiritually perfect, unlike many other immortal beings. His Primal Body stood here, resonating with his spirit, complete and powerful.
Even without the celestial realm, he still had an instinct to float up and ascend to distant lands.
To his surprise, he discovered that his body was being honest, his mind was stirring, and both were radiating light. After he rose from the ground, he was actually trying to return along the same path.
In the dim light, he seemed to see the Supreme Fire Ember, the place where the celestial realm once radiated outwards.
"After becoming an immortal, is there an instinct that drives one to ascend to the place one is meant to go?"
He landed firmly on the path paved with Supernatural Star Fragment, remaining motionless. Soon, that instinct gradually dissipated under the intervention of his powerful will, and never reappeared.
He pondered, "Is it the same in other universes?"
Once a living being becomes an immortal or a god, will it be driven by instinct to enter a specific world?
The Mother Universe has Great Barrier; does such a place also exist in the Supernatural Central World?
However, he was certain that powerful individuals who possessed contraband were not included in this group and could come and go freely.
He resisted his instincts and from then on became a "free man," able to transcend the realms of immortals and gods, and of course, enter them as well, no matter where he was.
In this year, the Supernatural Finale of the Mother Universe came to an end 177 years ago, Wang Xuan was 199 years old.
Among mortals, he is considered "old," but among immortals, he is very "young." It's difficult to find many people who became immortals younger than him. This isn't to say there are none, nor is it that becoming an immortal earlier necessarily means being stronger.
However, he repeatedly underwent the "Great Tribulation of Breaking Limits," each time more severe than the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, undergoing several transformations in succession, making him an exception in the Mother Universe of this era.
During the pre-Qin period, when Fang Yuzhu became an immortal, he was over two hundred years old, which already astonished all sides.
This road belongs to a deserted place. No one has seen this magnificent scene. The world is vast and the Mother Universe has long been devoid of immortals. No one can cultivate here. Apart from the Mechanical Xiao and the Dao Control Banner, no one can see or share this grand spectacle.
After that, Wang Xuan still didn't set off, but just strolled along the road. He tried to continue cultivating and comprehending the Dharma, but for six whole years, he was stuck at the first stage of the Ascension to Immortality level and couldn't break through.
During this time, his Inner Scenery Realm returned, and indeed, the interior was filled with violent Super Material. It was no longer the gentle Supernatural Factor that fell like snowflakes, but rather the violent bombardment like thunder and fire.
"The shortcut to Steal Time in the Inner Scenery Realm is about to be blocked." He sighed softly, having had a premonition.
Because, in the early Mythological Era, when he encountered the Sword Immortal and the Ghost Monk, he discovered that the Primordial Spirit Fragment that remained in the mortal world after they became immortals were almost identical in his Inner Scenery Realm and outer world.
Ultimately, it's because they became immortals, and their own power was sufficient. No matter where they stood, their spiritual and intellectual abilities were greatly enhanced, far surpassing what they had experienced before.
183 years Supernatural Finale of the Mother Universe, Wang Xuan, at the age of 205, officially sets off for the Supernatural Great Universe!
He arrived at his destination, but even in this era, it was still very dangerous. As he approached, monsters kept rushing out on the last stretch of the journey.
Some burst forth from the abyss beneath the road, while others emerged from distorted Space-time Trap; each was unique, carrying the aura of a different world.
This place is like a strange crossroads, where some creatures can get close to the last stretch of the road and cause constant trouble.
Countless firebirds, densely packed, burst forth from the distorted spacetime. Like refugees, they discovered a beacon in the dark void— Wang Xuan —and were drawn to his vitality.
The flames were endless, and a vast number of birds of prey, as large as camels, flapped their wings and cried out, carrying with them an overwhelming blaze that engulfed Wang Xuan's place.
He stood still and threw a punch towards the outside of the road. This was the first time he had thrown a punch with unrestrained joy since becoming an immortal. With a boom, the fist's energy surged forth, illuminating the dark sky.
Amidst feathers, blood rain, long cries, and fear, all the ferocious birds that pounced upon them exploded, disintegrated, burned in the void, and turned to ash upon landing.
A silvery-white scorpion, as large as a mountain and exuding an aura of decay, descended from the sky. However, its head was already half-rotten, having suffered a blunt force attack, and it was now in a state of semi-death.
Even so, when it instinctively shot its tail hook over, it still caused the void to collapse, carrying Rule Fragments, making it extremely powerful.
This monster is very oppressive, like a mountain pressing down or a meteor falling.
When Wang Xuan came here back then, he either used the Purple Heaven Dao Integration Sword or the lid of the Nurturing Life Furnace, or he would hide. Now he can face these monsters of unknown origin directly.
As he swept his right hand across the void, one golden bamboo slip after another appeared. The materialized scripture carriers shot into the sky with a bang, and after resonance, they caused the enormous, mountain-like scorpion to crack and then explode.
Wang Xuan strode forward, his state here remained unchanged, neither high nor low, always in a state of immortality, stable and powerful.
He walked on, surrounded by corpses and rain of blood. The creatures there were all insane and abnormal; the only way to kill them was to fight them with all your might.
A black wind blew by, and he quickly dodged it. It was terrifying. The wind even cracked the void. All kinds of monsters that arrived were scattered and disappeared.
Wang Xuan walked forward calmly, occasionally looking up to gaze into the distance with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, for he was about to leave, and he wanted to see through the distorted nature of spacetime.
It is speculated that this might be a place where different planes converge.
Suddenly, his hair stood on end. Through layers of distorted space, he saw a gigantic eye above the dark sky, many times larger than a normal planet, as if looking down upon him.
Wang Xuan felt as if he had returned to the world inside the bottle, where someone was peering in through an eye at the bottle's opening, looking in with a mixture of greed and astonishment.
The main problem is that this path is too narrow. Compared to the vastness of deep space, it is indeed very small. After that creature detected its tracks, it looked down from outside the Space-time Turbulence.
Then, it cast out a hook, as if fishing, to lure Wang Xuan away!
I've never had an experience like this before; today I've encountered this unknown and astonishing monster.
Wang Xuan was shocked. While wearing the First Killing Array Diagram, he waved the Dao Control Banner for the first time on this road, sweeping it outwards into the distorted spacetime.
"Disgusting! Trying to fish, coveting us?" The Dao Control Banner was enraged. Its size remained unchanged, but the gold and silver patterns intertwined, Super Material boiled, and accompanied by chaotic energy, it took the initiative to kill.
With a deafening boom, the Space-time Turbulence was shattered by the flag. The creature in the distant land, with blood splattering from one of its giant eyes, let out a deafening roar of its soul before disappearing.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way until a cliff appeared in the deep sky ahead. Only then did Wang Xuan's expression turn serious, and he reminded Dao Control Banner and the Mechanical Xiao to be careful.
This is the Cliff of Lost Dao. Anyone who sets foot here will have their cultivation decline and be reduced to a mortal.
Even the most precious treasures will become ordinary weapons here, unable to utilize the rules and losing all their extraordinary attributes.
The Cliff of Lost Dao truly resembles a massive and steep cliff, not formed from a meteorite, but standing eternally in the void, grand yet oppressive.
Wang Xuan leaped up and arrived at this cliff that was very close to the "Land of No Law".
"This feeling is terrible. I've lost the power of the rules," the Dao Control Banner said. Fortunately, it was hard and wouldn't break.
"It startled the bear, thinking its soul was about to be corrupted again, but that's not the case. It just means it can't use magic." The Mechanical Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Various creatures crawled up from below the Cliff of Lost Dao, densely packed like a torrent, including all sorts of monsters, as if the gates of hell had been opened.
This scene evokes a sense of trypophobia: bronze spiders, snow-white centipedes, golden yakshas, rotting corpses, and enormous, crazed golden giants surge forward like waves.
Wang Xuan went on a killing spree. These monsters were incoherent and unable to communicate. Their origins were unknown; they were all insane beings.
The banner was stained with blood, and corpses piled up all around. Broken bodies continued to fall from the cliff, causing various wails to rise from below.
As the battle raged on, Wang Xuan adapted to the place and gradually began to exude wisps of Supernatural Power.
In the end, he rushed across without encountering any danger. After Cliff of Lost Dao, he landed in a quiet place ahead.
"The final stretch, success or failure hinges on this one move," Wang Xuan said, directing the Mechanical Xiao to hide inside the array.
He was draped in the array diagram and held the Dao Control Banner as he walked forward. It was a black land, deep, silent, and eternally still.
He quickly started running. He knew exactly where he was and how dangerous it was. Years ago, the woman had intentionally led him on this journey and shown him the final scenery here. Now, he had a clear goal.
At the very end of this black land, once you cross it, you can enter the Supernatural Great Universe.
"Senior, you fell at the end of the road back then, and today I will go through it for you and see the scenery on the other side."
As Wang Xuan ran, black flames rose up and engulfed him. Sure enough, this burning was terrifying, almost tearing one's soul apart.
He used array formations for defense and Dao Control Banner to clear a path, yet he still staggered along. The black flames and red Super Material here were similar.
However, the black fire also had its own unique properties, and in the end, it burned Wang Xuan to a crisp through the Dao Control Banner.
Wang Xuan quickly wrapped himself up tightly and ran all the way to the end. He could face these things at first, but when he reached the end of the road, he had an ominous premonition. As he took the last step, it felt as if the Great Universe was squeezing him down and trying to tear him apart!
"I...!" Even Dao Control Banner cried out.
Boundless Light burst forth, illuminating the path ahead. It was a vast and luminous world, and behind the light lay magnificent rivers and mountains.
"Am I cracked?" Dao Control Banner asked himself.
"I'm cracked," Wang Xuan's consciousness murmured.
It's like two Great Universe colliding and squeezing each other, making it unbearable.
Even though he was cracked and shattered, he still turned forward without hesitation, disappearing into the light, burning amidst the flying blood rain, and vanishing from the end of the road.
