New Chapter: Returning Fully Laden

Standing in front of the Thatched Hut, the man's expression turned cold upon hearing his words. "How novel! Just passing by? You've entered an important secret realm of a clan? Who are you kidding!"

Wang Xuan said very seriously, "Whether you believe it or not, I really got lost. I used to sit in the Old Day Hall and sleep with wine in the afternoon. When I woke up again, the world had changed."

As he spoke, chaotic energy flowed around him, its obscure fluctuations somewhat eerie. This was the First Killing Array reviving, and he had no interest in chatting with the other party.

The unusual aura made the man shudder, and he took a few steps back. Runes intertwined around the Thatched Hut, the void around him collapsed, and his pupils contracted.

The Calamity of Slaughter aura flowing from the First Killing Array, even if only a portion overflowed, was like the awakening of an ancient beast, making the man suspicious.

Could it be that this was really an old guy from prehistoric times who accidentally wandered in and passed by?

"Young man, what era is this? I merely took a nap, and the world has changed drastically. The Supernatural Light Sea has changed course, and the wasteland in my backyard has become someone else's secret realm. Who are you people, and why have you come here to claim this land? I still remember the days when a child herded dragons passing by the Dragon Gate. In his youth, he played and did not study hard, abandoning his pen, ink, and paper. In his old age, he sadly made a living by fishing with a net by the stream..."

The middle-aged man staggered backward, his body tense. Who was this, spouting nonsense? Or was it truly a resurrected old monster, breaking free from the shackles of time, suddenly appearing in this era?

He's no young upstart; he's in charge of guarding this place, so his status is extraordinary. Naturally, he knows about some of the more secretive major events in the history of the extraordinary.

The other party vaguely mentioned several Super Contraband Item, some of which had long since disappeared and were unknown to later generations, which made him suspicious and uncertain.

Then he saw boundless divine light erupt and strike him.

Wang Xuan activated the First Killing Array, and a burst of killing light transformed into scrolls of scripture, which descended from the sky to suppress and kill this person.

In fact, although the man had doubts, he did not hesitate and had just exercised his "authority" to activate the great array in this area.

Regardless of who the visitor was, he had no sense of awe. His ancestors were high above him, and together with the True Saint, they killed all the fishermen and others in the "Dao Sea".

His ancestors were steeped in murderous intent, and this man was also decisive and ruthless. He controlled Space-time Array and unleashed a powerful attack, attempting to change the world and transfer the person in front of him into the True Saint's secluded cultivation place.

This is a super Teleportation Array. He doesn't care who comes in. Anyone who can get in must be extraordinary. He'll leave it to his ancestors to fight.

Wang Xuan's hair stood on end. The First Killing Array Diagram erupted, and he felt a strong sense of unease. The formation diagram materialized and flew away. He absolutely could not allow the great formation here to be activated.

His Supernatural Sense were triggered in an instant, and his intuition told him that once he left this place, he would die immediately, and no amount of means would be of any use.

At this moment, even the Dao Control Banner was disturbed, and a golden pattern flowed out, tearing open a corner of the great formation before disappearing again.

It didn't give up; instead, it began to unfurl its flag, erasing all traces and severing all causal ties between itself, Wang Xuan, and the various Karma Thread of cause and effect here.

There were beings of a higher level who once lingered here. If one were to seriously trace their origins here in the future, they might be able to find them and Wang Xuan by following the wisps of energy.

The place where the true saint stands has been the site of the Great Dao, making it extremely terrifying and troublesome.

When it comes to beings at this level, nothing is trivial; they become entangled in immense cause and effect.

After the array diagram flew out, it was extremely domineering, with a boiling killing intent, like a river bursting its banks, sweeping across this super teleportation array and destroying its core area.

At this moment, the black Fishing Net sensed something and arrived, directly enveloping the sky and covering the man and the remaining magic array.

Wang Xuan decisively withdrew, draped the Killing Array Diagram over his body, and continuously channeled chaotic energy to erase the aura that had tainted him.

The Supernatural Sense issued an early warning, which is extremely rare. He communicated with the Dao Control Banner and learned that it had been awakened and was actively severing all traces.

This gave him a slight sense of relief. Without Super Contraband Item on him, coming to a place like this, even if he succeeded temporarily, would likely result in a terrible death afterward.

The so-called true saints are terrifying. They can trace everything in the world, including all kinds of time and space, unless the most supreme treasure can cut the various "threads" in the dark at the first moment.

Those beings at that level are currently beyond our comprehension and cannot be fathomed. He absolutely cannot have any interaction with them right now.

"I was reckless. It seems that if you want something, you have to take the corresponding risks. I have gained a lot in this secret realm, but I almost caught the eye of an invincible creature."

He was alert; for now, the problem seemed minor, as the Dao Control Banner had erased all the complex and chaotic chains of events.

After he left, he looked back and found a pair of footprints in front of the Thatched Hut emitting a faint glow, with supreme Dao patterns flowing around them, which he had not seen before.

A pair of footprints is a mysterious scene, a network of laws. Anyone who has been here, without extraordinary means, will be imprisoned in the network no matter where they go in the future.

Now we can see, and this proves, that Wang Xuan has gotten rid of it.

"It's chilling. Many truths in this world are beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you really want to be serious, even the ruler of a star field would feel powerless."

He had gotten too excited earlier, focusing only on the benefits of this secret realm and lacking the corresponding sense of awe.

Of course, true saints and the like wouldn't cast their gaze down for no reason; they would simply walk through the world normally without noticing anything.

"That Fishing Net was very strong, scraping the ground three feet deep, and those footprints couldn't mark it either. So it just went and looted again?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

Ahead lay a scorching fire, littered with phoenix feathers, charred bones, and crystals—the result of the phoenix's flesh and blood transforming into jade.

"This person's phoenix body was shattered by a single punch, and they died tragically here," Wang Xuan observed.

A phoenix of extremely high level was killed, and some of its fragmented flesh and blood were used to cultivate a great medicine. I don't know what the medicinal herbs here are used for, but I can sense that they contain rules and have extremely strong spirituality.

"It's likely to be beneficial for body tempering. Never mind, I'll take it!"

Without hesitation, he dug up more than a dozen medicinal herbs of different shapes and sizes, and also took some herbs such as Feng Gu.

In an instant, a large black net fell down, scraping away the soil from the medicinal herb field.

Wang Xuan quickly took action and discovered crystallized phoenix marrow in the red soil. These were pieces of dazzling crystals, which he then collected.

"The Fishing Net may seem to be untouched by cause and effect, but with such unbridled behavior, it's hard to say that it won't be discovered in the end. However, I won't worry about the conflict between those two races."

Next, he parted ways with the black Fishing Net again, wanting to find some legendary Divine Item. In the Floating Boat Pure Land, he had seen the Ten-Colored Strange Bamboo and the Heavenly Nest, both of which were Good Fortune Item, but he had not found them yet.

Not long after, he met Wu Tian again. The two of them felt that the accumulated rare items would be enough to reproduce one or two of the prescriptions left by Bai Hong, Jin Yao and others.

Similarly, Wu Tian also failed to discover the Ten-Colored Strange Bamboo and a certain Ancient Magnetic Ore that was suspected of containing a treasure.

"Well, let's be content. We've gained quite a bit," Wang Xuan said.

Wu Tian sighed, "The rare bamboo contains precious liquid, with only one drop in each section. It takes tens of thousands of years for it to grow a new section and a new color. It is regarded as Divine Item by even the strongest beings at the level of the sovereign. Unfortunately, it is probably not in this secret realm."

The scenery they saw in the Pure Land Pool was a collection of various secret realms, not the products of one place.

The two harvested another batch and felt that was enough. They no longer cared about ordinary herbs. They followed the Fishing Net as they dug deep into the ground, only participating when amazing and unusual things appeared.

Taking this opportunity, they began to exchange their spoils.

Wu Tian obtained half of True Dragon Bone, which Wang Xuan exchanged for some Phoenix Bone.

Next were the first three pages of scripture that were discovered flying out of the volcano.

Each of the rare items had an estimated price, and the two were quite satisfied. They took out the extras to exchange, and Wang Xuan successfully obtained Void Golden Lotus that was half the size of a small mountain. This thing was priceless; it had been growing for countless millennia and had been extinct for a long time.

Perhaps only the True Saint's Backyard produces such a rare item.

"Ask Bai Hong and the others if they want to go to the next secret realm."

"Forget it. This harvest has probably made them so full that they'll be terrified for a long time and won't dare to make any rash moves."

The Fishing Net slowed down; having gathered no more wondrous Good Fortune Item, it had collected even the ordinary medicinal herbs and began to turn around and fly towards the edge of the secret realm.

"Let's go!" The two followed, each using their own abilities to quickly reach the exit.

The secret realm was abnormal; the gap had automatically healed considerably and was almost completely closed. At this moment, the copper pillar that had been lying there, like something supporting the sky, pierced through it again with a loud boom.

Meanwhile, outside, a massive, broken axe suddenly cleaved down, its light blinding, violently breaking down the door.

The next moment, Wang Xuan and Wu Tian emerged from the Fishing Net and returned to the Wooden Boat.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound rang out, abrupt yet gentle, surprising both Wang Xuan and Wu Tian. The rusty and broken axe vibrated, causing the ripples of the chaotic Time Sea of Time to expand, resulting in a terrifying explosion.

"Come back quickly!" Bai Hong's voice rang out from the Wooden Boat, urging them to hurry on their way.

They went far away, and the return journey of the Flying Boat was fast and extremely smooth.

But at the last moment, Wang Xuan and Wu Tian were horrified. The giant axe did not leave. As it shook in place, a blurry shadow of a creature appeared amidst the rust.

Then, a boy emerged from the Space-time Vortex.

The return went very smoothly. They entered the Floating Boat Pure Land and found an old man playing a flute made of bone, which was crystal clear and luminous.

This matched the flute music they had heard earlier, and the music had become more intense.

Bai Hong and Jin Yao warmly welcomed them and led them into the garden. When they stood in front of the mysterious pool that reflected various places, they saw the terrifying scene at the exit of the secret realm.

A disheveled youth, covered in blood, wandered silently until finally roared and slammed his hand down on the secret realm. With a deafening boom, the realm was shattered and obliterated!

"I...!" Wu Tian was shocked. The boy had been summoned from the Time Vortex by the sound of the flute, and he had no idea what era the boy came from.

However, he was absolutely terrifying. With a single strike, he destroyed the secret realm where the true saint's footprints were left, turning it into streams of light and causing it to completely collapse there.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; could this young man be a being who has attained the Dao of the Dao-imperialized? But he has serious health problems, and might even be dead.

The boy was summoned from the Time Vortex in this way, clearly to "destroy the evidence" and carry out the final cleanup work.
