New Chapter: Outworld Visitors
Wang Xuan smiled and said, "It is an honor to meet the genius of a top sect—the future leader of the sect—and feel an instant connection with him. It is a wonderful coincidence."
At this point, he raised his glass to Su Tong and Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan smiled and didn't think about it anymore. A person who could be valued so much by her friend Su Tong was definitely not an ordinary person. There was a lotus pond in the private room, and rare divine trees were also there. In the beautiful scenery, she was like a fairy descending to earth.
Bite!
Amidst the crisp clinking of jade cups, the viscous, green wine sloshed about, exuding a fragrant aroma and creating a soft, ethereal spectacle of light and shadow that blurred the vision of all three.
"Don't use terms like 'prodigy' or 'future guru' again," Su Tong cautioned.
Ling Xuan nodded and said, "The universe is vast Heavenly Prodigy. Although we have some reputation in this cave world, we are far from being comparable to the legendary figures."
This is the "Ninth Heaven" of the Heavenly Mortal Realm, where everything you see exudes an ethereal atmosphere. Mythological Factor surge on the ground in the private rooms, and white celestial mist flows.
Inside the room, women with the bearing of palace maids danced, while someone played the zither by the lotus pond. The dance and music were soothing and calming, bringing peace and tranquility to the mind.
"Little Ling Xuan?" Wang Xuan was surprised, thankfully he didn't call out the name, otherwise he would have offended both of them at once.
The dancer was Zhou Yanran, who did indeed resemble Ling Xuan by about six or seven points. Her dance was graceful and ethereal, a truly delightful sight.
However, Heavenly Mortal Realm's arrangement was undoubtedly a mishap. Ling Xuan's expression immediately turned cold. How could she make someone who looked similar to her dance for others?
Is this place the same on ordinary days? Using her name to indulge in worldly pleasures is utterly outrageous!
"Fairy Ling, you misunderstand. We meant no disrespect." A steward, who was personally attending to the situation, noticed her expression at the door and quickly explained, "Normally, Zhou Yanran keeps to herself and spends her time studying music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."
"Enough!" Ling Xuan snapped.
"What I mean is, she has never danced for anyone else. Today, we only specially invited her to meet the fairy. We intend to send her away," the steward quickly explained, indicating that Zhou Yanran was to be given to Ling Xuan as a maid.
He cursed inwardly at his junior brother who had fabricated the story of "Little Ling Xuan" to attract business, wondering why he hadn't been beaten to death instead of bringing trouble upon himself.
Ling Xuan thought for a moment and decided to take Zhou Yanran away. Otherwise, she would feel very uncomfortable having a woman who looked very much like her in the Heavenly Mortal Realm.
"Slender figure, graceful movements, pure and ethereal beauty—truly a rare and exceptional dancer. Heavenly Mortal Realm are not so discerning; why is such a pure and beautiful woman only available in this private room? Why don't we have such a wonderful person in our rooms? What is the reason for this?" A passing man complained, quite dissatisfied.
In particular, when he saw Ling Xuan in the room, he was taken aback and clapped his hands and laughed, "Fate is wonderful, they are twin beauties, and the fairy sitting there is even more beautiful."
"Shut up!" Su Tong spoke first, standing up for his companion.
Ling Xuan's face was frosty; she was annoyed.
"Who are you to shut up just because I tell you to?" The person at the door was of medium build and had a relatively ordinary appearance, at most above average, but his eyes were very bright and sharp like lightning.
Su Tong and Ling Xuan were both surprised and doubtful. After the young man revealed his aura, he was not necessarily weaker than them. He was actually a rare master.
"I am Su Tong, and who are you?" Su Tong introduced himself.
"Oh, the prodigy of the Eternal Life Cult, the future leader, what a coincidence. My name is Wu Chong, and our meeting is fate. Please enlighten me, Leader Su."
Wu Chong spoke calmly, showing no fear after learning Su Tong's identity. Instead, he stepped into the room, intending to assess the core inheritor of the Eternal Life Cult.
In an instant, Su Tong and Ling Xuan looked at each other and had a certain guess. This person might not be from the large cave heaven of Haichuan Star, but probably an outsider who came from the starry sky.
Because his attire resembled that of an outsider, and his calm and composed demeanor revealed that he was not afraid of the Eternal Life Cult at all.
Su Tong naturally wouldn't back down, and Ling Xuan insisted on stepping forward herself.
"Let me do it," Wang Xuan said, stepping forward before the other two, naturally to get closer to them, all because he was thinking about "The Forbidden First Chapter".
Wu Chong smiled and raised his hand to press down on Wang Xuan. Instantly, the private room changed. His hand transformed into a black mountain with five peaks standing side by side. With a flick of his wrist, it seemed to be able to suppress the entire world!
A rumbling sound suddenly erupted from the private room as the protective array was passively activated, its intricate patterns weaving together in the void. Otherwise, without the array patterns, the entire building would have disintegrated.
"Late stage of the Master of Nurturing Life!" Instantly, Su Tong and Ling Xuan communicated with their Divine Sense and both sensed the extraordinary nature of the newcomer, who was definitely no weaker than them.
Wang Xuan's fist emitted a terrifying light, like an Immortal Saber emerging from the earth. The fist imprint was like a blade, making it the renowned Blade Fist in this grotto-heaven.
With a clang, the opponent's Five Finger Mountain, as black as ink, failed to suppress Wang Xuan, as it was blocked by a bright celestial blade materialized in front of his fist.
"Interesting. Haichuan Star is no ordinary place. It's no wonder it's a foreign land with some background." Wu Chong said, stepping back and not making another move.
This undoubtedly proves that he is indeed Outworld Visitor.
Such things have happened before on Haichuan Star. Interactions between different planets are not exactly a secret, although the specific details are only known to the higher-ups.
"Wu Chong is back." Divine Sense came from another private room.
Wu Chong smiled and left.
Then, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, crimson with a hint of Dark Light, similar to the black Five Fingers Peak aura that Wu Chong had manifested.
"Brother Qin, are you alright?" Su Tong immediately stepped forward to check on his injuries.
Ling Xuan then took out a transparent crystal containing a drop of golden liquid and had him ingest it.
In order to remain a rogue cultivator and not stand out too much, Wang Xuan had no choice but to refine a wisp of "Defeated Blood." Otherwise, it would be a bit too much for him to directly rival Su Tong and Ling Xuan.
"Oh, please excuse my poor skills." Wang Xuan shook his head, did not refuse, took the crystal from Ling Xuan, broke it open, and drank it. Then, to express his gratitude, he let golden light rise from his body, and his face became rosy.
"You don't need to underestimate yourself. That person is very strong. Even if I were to take action, I might not be able to completely suppress him." Su Tong said solemnly.
After this incident, Wang Xuan's relationship with the two men improved dramatically. They would get together from time to time, and he even visited their mountain gate to see friends and entered the Eternal Life Cult and Purple Heaven Palace.
Two months later, Su Tong, looking grave, brought up the matter of the Outworld Visitor again while drinking with Wang Xuan, appearing quite worried.
"What's wrong, Brother Su?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.
Su Tong said, "When Ling Xuan arrives, let's see if Purple Heaven Palace is facing the same problem as our Eternal Life Cult."
Ling Xuan arrived, still in Kaiming City, but no longer in the Heavenly Mortal Realm. Instead, she was by a Spirit Lake, shrouded in mist and rain, with an exquisite bamboo building, fresh and elegant, filled with ethereal charm.
"They're investigating an old story about a piece of paper!" Ling Xuan arrived, and her expression turned serious when she mentioned the Outworld Visitor. Those people had also gone to the Purple Heaven Palace.
After a brief hesitation, Su Tong demonstrated a blurry scene to Wang Xuan in the form of Spirit Imprint, which was related to the purpose of those Outworld Visitor.
It seemed to have happened countless years ago. In the sea of stars, a tattered piece of paper, stained with traces of blood, crossed the distance, mercilessly severing any stars that tried to obstruct its path.
Then, an inexplicable force surged forth, blocking the tattered piece of paper along its path, causing it to suddenly shatter into pieces and then explode.
