New Chapter: Suspended Beyond the World

Wang Xuan did not move, letting himself be treated as prey, carried along by the Golden Gale, leaping over mountains.

Along the way, the lake is shrouded in spiritual energy, with five-colored mist rising from it. Ferocious beasts roam the high mountains, and the forests are dense, with various poisonous insects lurking about.

Amidst the golden whirlwind, the four-horned blue ox struggled in terror, emitting low, guttural roars, but it could not harm the golden creature's primordial spirit.

As for the giant bird's carcass, it was over thirty meters long, floating silently as it moved forward with the hurricane.

Is it a Teng Snake? Wang Xuan wasn't sure if it was a pure-blooded divine beast, but it seemed that even if it wasn't, its bloodline must be highly purified.

This Teng Snake was only a dozen meters long. Compared to the giant birds that were tens of meters long and the green ox that was several meters tall, it actually looked very slender, but it was quite powerful, especially in the later stages of the Yangshengzhu (Master of Nurturing Life).

Moreover, the suppression of bloodline caused the blue ox to tremble, rendering its innate divine ability—Soul Fall—useless and ineffective.

The Tengshe is golden all over, as thick as a bucket, with a head like a dragon but without horns, no sharp claws on its body, and a pair of very small golden wings on its back. Its high-frequency vibrations produce thunder and golden gales.

Before long, they arrived at their destination, the nest of the Teng Snake, which resembled a bird's nest and was built on a cliff.

On the cliff face, there are several ancient trees bearing bright red fruit, exuding a strong spiritual aura and a fragrant aroma.

Wang Xuan quickly realized that this was originally a bird's nest, and the nest of some kind of spirit bird, or even Divine Bird, but it had been occupied by the Teng Snake.

Inside the enormous nest, some luminous white feathers were spread out softly. A nest of baby Teng snakes opened their vertical eyes simultaneously, golden and cold, watching the arrival of their prey.

In a quick glance, Wang Xuan noticed that there were many Beast Bones and bird bones at the bottom of the cliff. The baby Teng snake was very particular about its food; it did not swallow the whole thing but only ate the meat. This may be because it was too small for its food to be too large, or it may be different from the habits of ordinary snakes.

Wang Xuan paid no attention to the nest of Teng Snakes. He landed lightly in the giant nest and saw a pile of bone books hanging on the spirit wood, and some among the small snakes.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a golden shoulder blade covered in densely packed demonic script.

The adult Teng Snake's vertical eyes immediately emitted a terrifying light. Sensing danger, it chose to attack immediately, condensing Lightning Dao Rune all over its body and striking towards Wang Xuan.

"Quiet!" Wang Xuan shouted softly, slapping it across the body, causing its bones to crack and nearly shatter.

It was "dislocated." As a descendant of a divine beast, its physique was incredibly powerful, far surpassing other ferocious birds and beasts. As a result, it was unable to move when someone casually pressed it down.

"Immortal Master, please forgive my disrespect." Tengshe immediately yielded. Although they came from different universes, they could communicate with each other through Divine Sense without any problem.

"Tell me what this place is, what powerful forces are here..." Wang Xuan sat on the cliff and talked with the Tengshe family.

As he first entered the new universe, this place became his temporary foothold, and he would use it as Qidian to learn about the Supernatural Great World.

Soon, Wang Xuan was eating the stone-grilled beef. The beef, Master of Nurturing Life demon beef, was grilled until very tender. Unfortunately, there was no salt or other seasonings, so in the end, he was only given some fruit syrup.

However, he was already very satisfied. The ingredients were really good; such good beef was rare, and it was bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

If you calculate carefully, he hasn't eaten for almost thirty years. 155 years Supernatural Finale, he left the Mother Universe and embarked on the fourth path. 183 years Supernatural Finale, he officially broke through the barrier and successfully crossed the Great Universe.

"You mean, this is a small world floating in the void outside the world, where your ancestors sought refuge, and you have no idea what's going on outside?"

While enjoying his meal, Wang Xuan asked in surprise, "This place is completely different from what I imagined."

"People from the mortal world can enter because someone has been exploring recently," Tengshe said, informing them with Divine Sense that every few hundred or thousand years, someone would break in.

Because this secret realm will emerge, suspended in the heavens, open to the Great Universe.

Wang Xuan's expression changed. He realized that entering such a region along the void turbulence wasn't necessarily a bad thing; it was much better than crashing directly into a top-tier sect containing prohibited items.

Beside him, several small snakes stopped hissing, the coldness in their vertical pupils disappeared, and they all became obedient and well-behaved, watching him eat meat with longing eyes.

Wang Xuan threw over a few pieces, which immediately triggered a scramble among the Teng Snake cubs. He continued to investigate the situation and then even had an adult Teng Snake come over to teach him demonic script.

The Teng Snake was reluctant, but it moved over with a stiff upper lip.

"Hmm?" Wang Xuan stared at it, and then simply explored its primordial spirit to search for what he needed.

Instantly, a divine light shone in his eyes. This place was many times more mysterious and important than the Teng Snake had described; it was a top-tier secret realm hidden from the world.

Because something extraordinary exists here, and every few centuries, when someone discovers it, they inevitably launch a large-scale search for anything related to "prohibition."

The so-called prohibition naturally involves the Imperial Dao Level.

Of course, the names are different in this universe, but they can be correlated: forbidden, imperial way... they are all on the same level.

"Are there any humans at the Imperial Dao Level, or any demons?" Wang Xuan asked.

"In our clan's understanding, I seem to have heard of prohibited items," Tengshe honestly replied.

Wang Xuan frowned. The ancestors of the Tengshe had entered the country long ago, but by this generation, they had long been isolated from the world and knew very little. They had only vaguely heard about prohibited items.

"Have you ever heard of the Old Saint Era?"

"No," Tengshe shook his head.

Is there a new saint?

"Never heard of it."

Wang Xuan sighed helplessly. It was a divine beast, yet it was so isolated. The environment had a huge impact on it, and it had been cut off from the outside world for years.

He flipped through the bone fragments here, carefully studying the demonic script on them. Most of them were demonic cultivation techniques, which surprised him. Some of them were quite extraordinary.

In particular, the demon scripture on the golden shoulder blade is a body-refining technique that humans can also cultivate, while demons can use it to purify their bloodline and enhance their innate divine abilities.

Wang Xuan studied all the demonic script on the bone fragments and found records about "forbidden" things, including a strange place where they would be randomly born.

In normal times, that place would not be noticeable, but occasionally a living being would set foot there and discover its secrets.

Wang Xuan spent most of the day in the Teng Snake's den, obtaining a lot of valuable information. After a hearty meal, he prepared to leave.

Although the adult Teng Snake has the bloodline of a divine beast, it is terrified. The opponent's strength is unfathomable. Will it eliminate its entire family before leaving?

Wang Xuan looked again and again, and the small Teng Snakes also curled up, lowered their heads, and looked submissive and afraid.

"Never mind." His fingers glowed, erasing the memory from their mental realm, and he vanished from there instantly.

According to the Teng Snake's memory, this place is already considered to be in a relatively deep part of the secluded world, an ancient forest of wolf trees, where powerful alien creatures reside in every territory.

This place is vast, feeling much larger than a normal planet.

Half a day later, while Wang Xuan was wandering around, he heard the sounds of fighting. In the distance, a crimson, ferocious bird, its body Master of Nurturing Life with flames, was being blasted down.

"Demon bird, considering your extraordinary bloodline, tell me the various secrets of this world." It was an outsider, pressing for information.

Wang Xuan became interested and walked forward.

Several outsiders interrogated him and searched his soul. They then walked over here, one of the creatures carrying the corpse of the large red bird.

They were menacing creatures, several hairy humanoid beings dressed in robes, with flowing blond hair, wide mouths and fangs. Could they be apes that had come to life?

"Fellow Daoists..." Wang Xuan greeted them with his Divine Sense.

"Humans!" The eyes of the several ape-like monsters opposite them were sharp.

One of the monkeys laughed and asked, "Are you from the Star Picking Pavilion, the Purple Heaven Palace, or the Eternal Life Cult?"

He mentioned several sectarian names, which were clearly not ordinary major religions.

Another ape-like creature spoke up, laughing, "Among you humans, didn't someone say that you evolved from apes? Why don't you pay homage to your ancestors?"

It was obvious that they were acting with malice, and they surrounded us instantly.

"My ancestors, I love you! Come on!" The leader threw out a Golden Hoop, which shone with divine light and came toward Wang Xuan, intending to capture him alive and enslave him.

"Just kill them directly, why capture them alive? Killing one means one less human to compete with." Another ape-like monster spoke, swinging a Wolf Tooth Club toward Wang Xuan's skull.

Snap!

Wang Xuan reached out and crushed the Golden Hoop in one hand. Undeterred by the spikes of the Wolf Fang Club, his palm glowed and filled with immortal energy as he snatched it back. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he killed the ape monster, shattering its skull and spilling its brains.

"Who are you?" the ape-like monsters cried out in alarm, backing away and fleeing at top speed.

They were all powerful cultivators in the late stages of the Master of Nurturing Life, yet the newcomer could easily kill their companion. The difference in strength between them was too great and didn't make sense.

As far as they knew, there was absolutely no human being like this among those who entered.

"Freeze!" Wang Xuan cast a freezing spell, instantly immobilizing them all. The difference in their cultivation levels was quite significant, and he instantly imprisoned several Ape Monsters.

There's nothing more to say. He won't listen to reason and even acts like he's his ancestor. If you want to kill him, then just search his soul.

Puff puff puff...

The primordial spirits of several apes shattered one after another, emitting mournful howls. There was a restriction on their minds, making it impossible to investigate.

At the last moment, golden Old Ape marks appeared on the heads of several ape monsters, and they opened their eyes as if to remember Wang Xuan's appearance.

Wang Xuan swung his Wolf Fang Club forward, and the illusory image of the golden Old Ape's mark vanished. Wang Xuan didn't care much, because he was no longer the same person he once was.

Upon arriving in the new universe, he was very cautious. He changed his appearance when traveling, and even his spiritual aura became different from before.

Two days later, Wang Xuan saw several human cultivators fighting with several monsters. He immediately rushed over, pretending to be a late-stage Master of Nurturing Life, and Battle Group.

"Roar!" The two Ape Monsters and the three-headed snake demon roared angrily. Realizing they were no match for them, they self-destructed, their blood splattering across the mountainside and collapsing an entire mountain peak.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." A woman smiled, stepped forward, and bowed in gratitude.

"We are both human, no need to be so polite," Wang Xuan returned the greeting.

However, as the woman expressed her gratitude, she conjured a Silver Net and covered him with it.

At the same time, another old man activated a large bronze bell, which roared as it tried to shake the souls of the people out and knock them down towards Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan's face was cold. He had helped his clansmen, but instead of being grateful, they wanted to take his life.

By this point, he had gained a deeper impression of this otherworldly realm and the relationships between the various races that came here; all the creatures that entered were competitors.

With a ripping sound, he tore the silver net apart, and then slapped the beautiful woman's head away, sending it flying and exploding.

With a loud thud, the bell fell, only to be pierced by his fist, sending fragments flying.

"You, an immortal who has been lingering in the mortal realm, how could you enter?" The remaining people were shocked.

Wang Xuan was indifferent. He picked up Wolf Tooth Club and smashed the group of people to pieces with a series of thuds.

"Forbidden First Chapter?" Two days later, Wang Xuan finally learned what kind of supreme Divine Object existed in this world suspended in the outside world.

It is indeed an extraordinary treasure, a scripture that probably involves forbidden secrets, and may even be a scroll left behind by an ancient saint.
