You Probably Won't Believe This
In the Cave Mansion Hotel, lotus-shaped crystal chandeliers hung high, their flowing, dreamlike colors filling the magnificent lobby. Guests and hosts alike wore smiles, and many raised their glasses to toast the Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan, their eyes fixed on the bone in his hand.
The ground was paved with lapis lazuli, and wisps of celestial mist swirled around it. Various spiritual fruits were visible on the table, many of them of divine quality.
"Please take a look, everyone." Zhu Chuan spoke, his long, fiery red hair gleaming, his eyes blazing with fire. He was truly reluctant to part with it, but he was genuinely afraid of being killed.
At his level, he was already qualified to know part of the truth about the universe; in fact, becoming an immortal was not a form of freedom.
Those who truly live in the mortal world and can travel between different realms are the real big shots. Currently, he is only stronger than a true immortal.
He had already guessed that this bone involved the realm of imperial cultivation. That creature probably couldn't reach that level, but some of its bones had already undergone transformation.
At this moment, even the True Immortals at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven, and even some beings from the Tenth Heaven, were present and took it very seriously, their hearts filled with excitement. They also knew what this thing was.
"Wonderful, beyond words." An old immortal from the Scorpion Clan, in human form and wearing immortal armor made from a scorpion's shell, was the first to receive it, trembling with excitement.
A glint of light shone in his eyes as he gazed at the bone. Of course, he didn't touch it, nor did he dare to. At this moment, the translucent white bone fragment was placed inside a box made of Great Luo Copper Mother material.
This thing is currently restrained; no one dares to activate it, otherwise they might suffer a backlash and be easily killed by a bone.
Soon, the true bone fell into the hands of a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. She was alluring and had extraordinary beauty. At this moment, she had a dreamy look on her face, her big eyes blinking. Nine snow-white tails involuntarily appeared behind her. The nine tails emitted a demonic light, helping her to focus and comprehend the bone.
Those at the front of the line to view the True Bone were all renowned figures in this region, at least at the ninth level of the Ascension Ninth Heaven Realm, representing the high-end power of the True Immortal Realm.
Next was a Human Race Ancient Immortal who opened a vertical eye between his brows and stared at the object. His hands were trembling slightly. Although he knew that he could not Dao-imperialized, seeing the partial transformation of such a creature and finding the right direction would be of great help to their future cultivation.
Even those who have attained immortality are still struggling to cross the river. On their black faces, which resemble a thick fog in the night, a lighthouse appears to guide and illuminate their path forward.
Wang Xuan was quite looking forward to it. This bone was still in the process of being contained and had not yet reached the stage of dissipation. It should have great value and could be used to verify some methods.
In the distance, the smile on the Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of sadness. It was clearly the Dao-imperialized Bone he had obtained, yet he was pondering how to give it away.
If no one tries to steal it, will he give it to the sovereign? Or, if he can leave this realm safely, will he go to the forbidden land to pay tribute and present it with both hands?
At this level, the higher he stood, the more insignificant he felt. What forbidden lands, what predators who roamed for the extraordinary, what tattooed people, old saints and new saints, the otherworldly realms... He sighed helplessly.
The Heavenly Demon is high above in the Realm of the True Immortal Realm, but compared to those legendary objects and beings, he is truly insignificant, and sometimes he is not even qualified to pay homage.
Wang Xuan waited for a long time. As a being in the early stage of Ascension to Immortality Vermilion Bird Fairy who was getting married, he shamelessly joined the group.
He naturally took the bone fragment from the hands of a gentle-looking White Peacock Demon Immortal, who was the uncle of the Vermilion Bird Fairy and was qualified to examine the true bone.
No one questioned Wang Xuan's identity, because while there were many relatives and friends among them, they weren't all very familiar with each other, and no one suspected that an unknown person would be mixed into their group of relatives and friends.
In the distance, Immortal Lu Guanghai was both incredibly impressed and speechless. There were all sorts of people out there. This guy he met on the road was really bold. How could he do something like this?
After Wang Xuan took it, he naturally couldn't watch it alone, so he watched it with a group of young Demon Immortals, including Zhuque and Kongque.
His eyes held beams of light as he silently Spiritual Heavenly Eye to examine the endless patterns of the Dao-imperialized Bone, confirming that it was indeed a tangible embodiment of the Dao.
In Wang Xuan's Mental World, he saw billions of bolts of lightning, the birth and death of starlight, the collapse of galaxies, and a part of the process of a being Dao-imperialized. Then, he saw a terrifying being explode, and it seemed that... a being from beyond the world had attacked him.
Unfortunately, the details are too vague, and the battle cannot be traced back. If we were to continue the deduction, Wang Xuan would inevitably be exposed.
After memorizing the endless patterns of the bone, he was about to give it away; he certainly couldn't keep it in his hands for long.
The various young Demon Immortals in the group of relatives and friends were all reluctant to part.
Wang Xuan prepared to give it to the next person, an old man at the Ninth Heaven of True Immortal. The man smiled and was about to accept it.
"Have you seen enough? Present it here." A voice spoke calmly in the sky above Fire Cloud City. Sure enough, an unfathomable force had arrived.
The old man immediately withdrew his hand, not daring to take it.
The Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan's expression changed slightly. Someone had actually followed him, knowing that he had obtained the extraordinary bone. Fortunately, he hadn't planned to keep it to himself, or he would have been in grave danger.
"I wonder which fellow Daoist has come. If you need it, please feel free to take a look," Zhu Chuan said.
"It's to be taken away, not to be observed." A Paper Figure appeared in the sky. It was a thin piece of paper that looked frail, but it gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Wang Xuan was startled. Another Paper Cutout Person? This one was even stronger than the last one. It might be a being at Super Peerless level. On the Paper Figure's brow, there was an ancient character: Dao!
At first, no one recognized the word, but upon closer inspection, they immediately perceived its true meaning, which was the embodiment of the original meaning of the Tao.
Wang Xuan felt that this force was like a persistent ghost. The appearance of Paper Figure at this level might be a revenge attack on the lineage of the sovereign, but now they have entered the corresponding True Immortal Realm.
"Give it to me." A monster covered in long yellow fur appeared in the sky, shrouded in chaotic energy, somewhat blurry, but somewhat resembling a... weasel.
None of the immortals dared to despise it. At this level, even a mouse, having the strength to look down upon the celestial demons, would be respected by all parties.
The Paper Cutout Person sneered, its consciousness spreading outwards. If translated into Wang Xuan's Mother Universe's words, it would be a mockery of the weasel, a "great immortal" species, for being beneath its dignity.
"Boom!"
In the sky above Fire Cloud City, a Great Claw slammed into the Paper Figure, causing the laws of nature to flow and starlight to pour down from beyond the realm.
Wang Xuan was moved. It was indeed a peerless creature that could pluck stars and seize the moon with Super Peerless. He took this opportunity to quickly return the strange bone to the Old Vermilion Bird Zhu Chuan.
"Are you deaf? Do you have a death wish? Didn't you hear my master's orders? Don't you know who to present the strange bone to?"
In the hotel's cave, some Paper Cutout Person came to retrieve the white bone fragments that Dao-imperialized. When they saw that Wang Xuan had returned the bone to the Old Vermilion Bird instead of offering it to them directly, they immediately turned hostile.
Wang Xuan was furious, but before he could lash out, the Paper Cutout Person all turned to Zhu Chuan.
The Heavenly Demon Zhu Chuan's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and offered up the bone, throwing it into the distance.
"I apologize to everyone, but I cannot afford to offend anyone. I am willing to offer up this rare bone, but I do not know who it will be given to. This thing is no longer my concern."
The Paper Cutout Person sneered repeatedly, but they were only True Immortal level beings. Even with a behemoth behind them, they couldn't directly fight a Celestial level being.
The Heavenly Realm refers to experts at the Sky Curtain Realm, which is a Great Realm above the Ascension to Immortality.
In an instant, Paper Cutout Person soared into the air, chasing after the sky to seize the true bone.
At the same time, some furry monsters, resembling both wolves and Great Immortal Huang, also took to the air at lightning speed, riding on Demonic Wind and lightning to give chase.
Wang Xuan walked towards this deserted cave, gradually changing his appearance as he went, and quickly changed his clothes. Then, with a sullen face, he walked back.
If he hadn't used the alias Chen Yongjie this time, fearing it might bring trouble to Old Chen, he wouldn't have bothered to conceal it again.
It doesn't really matter if they have the same name. The world is so big, there are many Supernatural Practitioner the same name. But he's afraid that the Paper Cutout Person is the mad dog type and might take his anger out on Chen Yongjie if he happens to hear his name in the future.
"Hey, where's that person from before? Did you see him?" A Paper Cutout Person remained in the hotel cave, heading in this direction, and asked Wang Xuan, who had changed form again.
They were indeed not benevolent beings. They hated Wang Xuan simply because he did not personally present the strange bone again, and they came after him.
Wang Xuan ignored him.
"Stop right there! I'm asking you a question, don't you have ears?" A Paper Cutout Person roared, emitting a strong wave of consciousness.
"Are you my son or my grandson? Do I have an obligation to care about you?" Now, Wang Xuan no longer uses the alias Chen Yongjie and acts without restraint.
He felt that he should avoid using the names of acquaintances when going out in the future, to avoid having to change his appearance twice, which would be too troublesome.
"You're asking for death!" This group of Paper Cutout Person is clearly used to being domineering and will not tolerate any resistance. Anyone who dares to defy them will be killed.
Now that they were being shoved like this, they immediately became murderous, and the two Paper Figure came over.
Wang Xuan no longer cared about their identities. This was the Realm of the True Immortal Realm, and he was a special individual whose existence was unknown. He didn't tolerate them at all.
He strode forward and rushed over. In an instant, he reached out a large hand, extinguished the Paper Figure's magic, and grabbed one of the Paper Figure by the thin neck.
A celestial-level Paper Figure? What a joke! He ripped its head off in one swift motion, and with a "poof," blood gushed out, much to his surprise.
"Ah..." The Paper Figure screamed in agony.
"Ah, you bastard!" Wang Xuan shouted coldly, tearing it to shreds with two quick rips. Blood and the light of the primordial spirit exploded and burned.
He realized that this Paper Figure was different; it contained half a life and half a primordial spirit. Killing it in this way would directly damage its foundation and sever the Essence of Life.
"You..." Another Paper Figure summoned a strange treasure, an Immortal Binding Rope that transformed into a real dragon, which swam over at lightning speed and locked onto Wang Xuan.
With a bang, the Immortal Binding Rope snapped. Just as it approached Wang Xuan's body, it was shredded by the light he emitted. He punched out, blasting the Paper Figure into dust and burning it to ashes. Blood and primordial spirit light burst apart simultaneously, accompanied by a shrill scream.
Wang Xuan, exuding murderous intent, walked towards the remaining Paper Figure in the banquet hall.
"Who are you?" The Paper Figure retreated rapidly, running towards the exit of the hotel cave. The ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.
Although they were used to being domineering, they were all afraid when they saw such a ruthless character who killed them right away. This time, in order to improve their strength, they poured half of their True Fate into the Paper Figure. If the Paper Figure were killed, they would suffer a terrible fate.
"I am the grandfather of your ancestor!" Wang Xuan said, and chased after him.
"Who are you going to be..." The Paper Cutout Person vanished into the distance with a whoosh, too afraid to speak, for the person was too fierce and would catch up with him in one step.
Wang Xuan looked up and glanced at the sky. The two powerful figures had gone to fight in the outer realms, far away from the surface of the True Immortal Realm.
He pursued them like a ferocious demon, and when he arrived at the place where the Dao-imperialized true bones, he went on a killing spree, even killing Paper Cutout Person. This terrified the few furry monsters, who quickly retreated.
Wang Xuan grabbed the strange bone.
At this moment, a paper boat arrived with a group of paper figures on it. The leading paper figure was very strong and had a "fairy character" written on his forehead, which contained the power of rules.
A being that has broken through the limits of true immortality? Those aren't just random words; they're a kind of immortal talisman.
Further away, there were also Celestial-level beings, Paper Figure powerhouses at the Sky-Veiling Realm, engaged in a fierce battle with demons.
The Paper Boat flew close, and the Paper Cutout Person with the character for "immortal" carved on its forehead said coldly, "Do you know what kind of person you have angered? My sect commands the submission of all religions wherever it goes. You ignorant fool."
Wang Xuan's gaze was indifferent. Comparing backgrounds? His own parents were extraordinary people. Had he ever boasted about them or relied on them?
On the spot, he threw the strange bone at the Paper Boat, and then, through the void, he punched out, activating the flying snow-white bone fragment and causing it to burst forth with unparalleled light.
With a deafening roar, a massive, devastating explosion occurred in that area of the sky.
Without looking at the result, Wang Xuan threw out the strange bone and threw a punch, then decisively burrowed away into the ground; he had to go back.
In fact, he didn't even need to look to know that the Paper Cutout Person there had exploded and all sorts of dust had been thrown up.
Not long after, he entered the Ascension Cliff, returned to the Stone House, tidied himself up, and walked out calmly without leaving any trace.
"Brother Qin, how was it? What was your harvest?" Su Tong was extremely excited. He had been waiting on the Flying Boat for a long time, and some senior students had also boarded the boat one after another.
"You might not believe it, but I took a trip to the True Immortal Realm and killed a whole bunch of True Immortal level Paper Figure along the way." He could only mutter these words to himself.
