Fate

Closing the book, Wang Xuan looked out the window at the old streets. In the face of the Great Universe, towns and humans are but tiny specks of dust. Their existence and changes are insignificant and easily overlooked.

Compared to time, and compared to the evolution of the Supernatural Center, everything seems pale and powerless in the face of this torrent, as thin as paper.

The current Supernatural Central Great World is merely the center of the universe in the Seventeenth Epoch. How many powerful races and brilliant civilizations have declined and disappeared in this process of change, and how many races and civilizations have risen as a result?

One can imagine that there must have been some extremely brilliant civilizations and powerful groups, like nomadic herders following the water and grass, traveling far and wide in pursuit of the Supernatural Center World.

There will inevitably be various stories in this process, filled with blood, tears, and splendor. Many followers are destined to fall behind and vanish into thin air.

There may also be races that catch up, or rather, civilizations that "briefly" catch up with the three to five centuries. In that case, just how powerful beings would be born?

If there is a civilization that "lives by water and grass," does it also have an "agricultural civilization"? Wang Xuan was lost in thought. The Old Saint Era is unverifiable. In the subsequent Seventeenth Epoch, the Supreme Treasures took on forms that were not afraid of death, including the seal of the Old Saints. But did the New Saints and others exist? Various the Vanished eras intertwine to create a mottled and broken scroll of time.

Those old stories are too distant to see clearly now.

After more than a year, Wang Xuan adapted to this universe and no longer experienced any "culture shock" under the Supernatural Rule.

The Mechanical Xiao had recovered enough, but as a mechanical life form, it was too special on this planet, and it continued to cultivate hidden in the array.

The Dao Control Banner is also improving, but it is not in a hurry to heal. The nine cracks are like nine orifices, swallowing and spitting out the matter of this world, and from time to time they quietly run into the starry sky to study the laws of this Great Universe.

It pondered how to convey the Dao through form, and how to further improve itself. Of course, transformation was a good option.

However, this evolution in the course of life is far too slow. It requires various approaches as references, and one wants to try every one of them.

"Let's go, it's time to go and see where the extraordinary beings live." After more than a year of cultivation and research in the New World, Wang Xuan had become a "native" and had no flaws left in his body.

In the "Steam Age," there was a path to extraordinary abilities, a fact known even to ordinary people. Every year, there were large-scale "physical examinations" for eligible young men and women, with Immortal Master secretly overseeing the process to determine if they were suitable to become extraordinary individuals.

Wang Xuan naturally had no interest in joining the sect and becoming a lowly disciple, competing with those children for some kind of immortal destiny.

He secretly observed and studied the place, eventually pinpointing the true world inhabited by the extraordinary beings. He found multiple routes, whether entering from the South China Sea or through the western desert region.

He set off, not for anything else, but for the "Forbidden First Chapter" collected by the four sects. He did not forget his original intention and was particular about seeing things through to the end.

A year ago, he received ten pages of scripture. According to the discussions of those Master of Nurturing Life, a few pages of the "Forbidden First Chapter" would appear every few thousand years. Over the past few thousand or tens of thousands of years, there have been a total of fifty or sixty pages.

At the same time, he also wanted to see the Supernatural World of this planet and fully integrate himself into it, so that even if he encountered top-tier beings in the future, they wouldn't be able to tell that there was something wrong with his Roots.

He traveled south, leaving the land behind and entering the South China Sea. Finally, he saw through the mystery and disappeared into a thick fog from a place where the sea and sky met. He then vanished and officially entered the Supernatural World.

This world is vast; as far as the eye can see, the land stretches endlessly, seemingly far surpassing this planet in the steam age. It is clearly not on land in the Real World.

In the world inhabited by extraordinary beings, he soared into the heavens, piercing the azure sky, and looked down upon the earth. It was indeed vast and boundless, as if it were an expansion of the Real World, a reshaping of the universe.

Towering mountains that reach into the clouds, mountain ranges that resemble azure dragons, and vast lakes that are practically inland seas; there are deep mountain caves shrouded in eerie energy, as well as bustling ancient cities inhabited by humans.

In some areas, there are even cities and celestial abodes above the clouds.

Not everyone here is a cultivator. For example, there are large cities and villages, densely populated with people, more than on other planets. Many of them are ordinary people.

"As a rogue cultivator, I don't need to worry about not having a suitable identity in this environment." Wang Xuan smiled, assuming that all extraordinary individuals were brought in from other planets when they were young and that their identities were verifiable.

He wasn't in a hurry to achieve quick results. He didn't need that book at this stage, and where wasn't there cultivation? He should cultivate diligently in silence to Realm Advancement so that he could safely roam the vast universe.

Six months later, he acquired an identity. Originally a rogue cultivator who had died at the hands of a demon, he killed the demon in the deep mountains, destroyed its cave, opened the secret cave, and discovered that it was an ancient cave that had once belonged to human cultivators. Then, his strength, background, and other information all had True Source.

The following year, he began to travel around, exorcising demons and monsters, and gained a certain reputation.

Even if he enters a broader and more dazzling extraordinary stage in the future, even if someone secretly investigates him, there will be no flaws.

Kaiming City, with a population of millions, is bustling with activity and incredibly prosperous. It is a veritable ancient city where extraordinary people and ordinary people coexist. Various shops selling spiritual medicines and Secret Treasures, as well as restaurants and eateries, offer everything imaginable along the streets.

"Heavenly Mortal Realm. Below the ninth level is the mortal realm, and above the ninth level is the realm of immortals. As long as you have extraordinary items, even a mortal can ascend to the Ninth Heaven..."

Along the street, there is a tall building shrouded in white mist, a veritable palace of jade and jewels, with eighteen floors, exuding an extraordinary celestial aura, and extraordinary people soliciting business along the street.

Wang Xuan stopped and looked at it again and again because the name of this house was somewhat unusual.

"Fellow Daoist, please move over. There is a new item in the Ninth Heaven. The Venerable Lei Huo picked a Thunder Medicine from the Thunder Waterfall on Jue Spiritual Mountain. It is extremely rare and will be auctioned here. Don't miss it."

"Can it help people become immortals?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Fellow Daoist, your expectations are too high. However, this rare and precious medicinal herb can give those who cultivate thunder magic the hope of reaching the Great Perfection of the Master of Nurturing Life level, which is close to immortality. It is the best in the medicinal world in the past ten years!"

"Sigh, I don't have that many rare items." Wang Xuan shook his head. If they can't help people become immortals, what use are they to him?

The Supernatural Practitioner soliciting business lowered his voice, his smile somewhat ambiguous, and said, "Seeing your handsome appearance, yet all alone, you may come to my Ninth Heaven. Recently, the extraordinary lineage— Bright Moon Pavilion —was breached by demons, and Zhou Yanran, the most talented female disciple of the Bright Moon Pavilion, was captured and sold here to become the most beautiful courtesan in the Ninth Heaven."

"Truly worthy of being called... Heavenly Mortal Realm." Wang Xuan had just learned that this place sold rare and precious medicines and thought he had misunderstood. However, it turned out that there was no misunderstanding at all.

"Of course, absolutely. Looking at the Supernatural World, we are a time-honored brand with a history of two thousand years." The Supernatural Practitioner soliciting business lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, Zhou Yanran is very similar to that genius of the Purple Heaven Palace, and is said to be a mini -Ling Xuan."

"Sorry, still no special items." Wang Xuan turned and left, not wanting to talk to him anymore. Who was Xiao Ling Xuan? He had even beaten up the real Ling Xuan.

Wang Xuan settled down in this giant city. After his daily cultivation, he would immerse himself in the mortal world to learn about this city and this world.

He quickly figured out that this Supernatural World was dependent on Haichuan Star, and was a large cave heaven created based on it.

Overall, this is a simplified version of the Great Barrier. If it were upgraded further, it might evolve into a Celestial Realm.

Wang Xuan missed the brilliance of the Mythological Era and lived in a time of depletion. He found everything about this magnificent Supernatural World, filled with demons and human cultivators, novel and fascinating.

"Is this going to make up for the regrets of my life? To experience this kind of life in a new universe."

Half a month later, he "coincidentally" met Su Tong, a genius of the Eternal Life Cult. He had come here to wait for such a person, as this place was very close to the Eternal Life Cult.

Over time, Wang Xuan and Su Tong became acquainted. After Wang Xuan displayed his extraordinary strength and talent, he quickly became one of Su Tong's people. Two months later, they were already getting along very well.

If it weren't for the fact that the people of these great sects were all walking bombs, constantly triggering the self-destruction of the restrictions within the primordial spirit once their souls were searched, Wang Xuan wouldn't be in such trouble.

As for where the Forbidden First Chapter is hidden, it's more reliable to find out from the core genius, the future sect leader.

"Brother Qin, let's go to the Heavenly Mortal Realm. Ling Xuan is here. We'll have a drink with him." Su Tong said with a smile, having been enjoying his tea, but now he invited Wang Xuan to come along.

Now, Wang Xuan, using the alias Qin Cheng, misses his best brother and uses his name here to remind himself not to forget him.

As expected, the gossipy waiter at the Heavenly Mortal Realm Jian got a beating. This superhuman has been using Xiao Ling Xuan as a topic of conversation to attract business lately.

As a result, he got what he wanted. The genius Ling Xuan Fairy of the top sect, Purple Heaven Palace, came. She had obviously heard about him. She hung him on the Jade Palace and gave him a beating, and ordered that no one be allowed to put him down.

Not long after, Ling Xuan was apologized to by the people here. It was a two-thousand-year-old business with a large scale. Romance was just an embellishment; the main business was the trade of herbs and Secret Treasures.

She obtained a rare flower that could preserve youth, which finally helped her vent her anger somewhat, and she was invited to a private room in the Ninth Heaven.

Su Tong and Wang Xuan arrived, and they gathered together, drinking and chatting happily. Wang Xuan felt a little strange; if that monkey had come too, then everything would be complete.

"Brother Qin, have we met before? I feel like I've seen you before," Ling Xuan asked.

Wang Xuan was surprised. Even though he had changed his primordial spirit aura, the other party still had some instinctive doubts. He was indeed remarkable, with a very impressive foundation and potential.

"I have long admired Fairy Ling's extraordinary talent, but this is indeed our first meeting. It is an honor to have such a familiar feeling towards you; perhaps it is a matter of affinity between friends," Wang Xuan said with a smile.

He silently recalled that a little over a year ago, he had only punched her five times and kicked her twice. Was there some mysterious reason behind it that he had been remembered?

Su Tong smiled and nodded, echoing, "Yes, Brother Qin and I hit it off immediately; it really is a kind of fate."
