A New Chapter: The Doors Will Always Be Open for You

Wang Xuan felt that this was the end of the day. Everyone should go home, and their paths would diverge, with some people perhaps never to meet again in this lifetime.

However, the few True Immortals who were still furious did not leave immediately. They had temporarily accepted the huge loss Yuan Hong and the others had suffered today, and sensing how terrifying Wang Xuan was, they were unlikely to turn against him on the spot.

But to leave like this is truly bitter and painful. If word gets out, they probably won't want to appear in front of acquaintances for a long time.

"I've had a good look at some of the more groundbreaking figures among the younger generation in the Pingtian Star Domain today," said the young man who had been splashed with a glass of wine by Cai Wei.

Today's incident was mainly caused by him. If he hadn't flirted with Cai Wei and asked her to drink the nuptial wine, there probably wouldn't have been any of this.

Therefore, he looked gloomy and resentful, feeling that he had let Yuan Hong and the others down.

He said in a deep voice, "I come from the Weiguang Star Domain. There have always been conflicts between us, and it's not a big deal if we find each other annoying. But today, you are slandering me like this. As a descendant of the ruler of a region, this is a great insult to me..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Que, Hong Teng, An Hong, and the others all turned pale. Was he trying to intimidate them with his power? He was actually a descendant of the ruler of a certain star field.

Of the group, apart from Yan Que who had some background, the others were mostly independent cultivators. However, Yan Que had also run away from home and had been wandering for many years.

The man spoke again, saying, "I don't ask you to apologize. After all, conflicts inevitably lead to injuries. I just want to say that once you leave this room, you are not allowed to slander us again. Let's just let this matter drop."

Qi Miao, An Hong, Cheng Tian and the others looked surprised. They thought he was going to make some harsh words or threats, but they didn't expect him to be trying to cover up his shame and avoid being criticized.

"You still have a sense of shame? You want us to cover it up for you?" Hong Teng, with his dark face, was just too straightforward; he was that direct.

Yan Que stopped him, not wanting to cause trouble, and said, "If we really just let it go like this, it's fine. Let's all be well after we leave here, and pretend nothing happened."

"Alright." The young man from the Weiguang Star Domain nodded, then looked at Cai Wei and said, "Now that we've talked things out, and you're no longer slandering us, you can punish yourself with a cup of wine, and that will be the end of this matter."

Yan Que was shocked. Was this guy serious? He felt that the other party had suffered a huge loss, which was why they were being given face at the end and would not mention the matter again.

As a result, this person got too cocky and took it too far. Did he really think he was being slandered?

He turned to look, and Yuan Hong didn't say a word, just stood there watching.

Cai Wei's face was flushed red, she was furious. She had been harassed earlier, and that person even wanted her to offer him a toast as an apology.

She turned to Yan Que and asked, knowing that he had wandered the stars and been to many places, "Where is that so-called Weiguang Star Domain, and what is its origin?"

"I think I've heard of it." Yan Que frowned, looking at the snow scene outside the window. Suddenly, he paused and said, "I remember now. The deceased only made two moves in this universe. The Weiguang Star Domain was one of them. It destroyed the Weiguang Cult and swallowed the cult's most treasured artifact—Glimmer."

The third most prohibited item is the deceased, who once committed a major crime there!

A top-tier race that once moved to the New World with the Supernatural Center had its core leadership and treasures wiped out.

Cai Wei asked, "Oh, so the Weiguang Star Domain isn't all that great, they don't even have contraband anymore?"

"It has declined." Yan Que nodded.

Cai Wei raised her fair chin, curled her lips, and looked at the brown-haired youth opposite her, saying, "The descendant of the Lord of the Weiguang Star Domain, you really have guts! After causing trouble in my Pingtian Star Domain, you still refuse to repent and continue to make trouble unreasonably. You're not leaving today. You say I'm slandering you? I'll have the city lord of the Immortal City interrogate you properly, search your soul to verify the truth, and clear my name!"

Then, she turned to Yan Xue and said, "When you keep him here, don't tell me that as a long-established brand, you don't have the ability to do so."

Seeing her like this, the people opposite knew that something bad had happened.

"Who exactly are you?" the brown-haired youth asked.

"I'm just a girl from the Pingtian Academy." Cai Wei snorted coldly, looking angry, and added, "Originally, I didn't want to use my power to intimidate people, but you are too shameful. When it comes to comparing status, I think it's pathetic and embarrassing. But today is different. I don't care about dealing with people like you. The ruler of the Pingtian Star Domain is my mother's maternal grandfather."

The people on the other side were exasperated. "..."

"Cai Wei, come here, give me a leg to hug," Qi Miao said with a smile.

"Give me one too!" An Hong immediately chimed in.

"Then give me an arm to hug you!" Even Hong Teng, who has a tough and stubborn temper, laughed.

Most of them were independent cultivators, and their attitude did not change after Cai Wei revealed her true identity; they were just teasing her.

However, some people on the other side felt immense pressure, especially the brown-haired youth.

In the past two years, many people have come to know that the ruler of the Pingtian Star Domain is a powerful figure in the Supernatural Realm. He is an Ancient Sage who has embarked on the path of Dao-imperialized and possesses an extremely powerful Super Contraband Item — the Rule Scale, which shakes the deep space.

Some sovereigns are merely spokespeople for others, while this one is the true overlord of a region.

The brown-haired youth was taken away. If it weren't for the experts from the Fusion with Dao Sect nearby who communicated with the city lord of the Immortal City, Yuan Hong and the others would probably have been in trouble as well.

Most importantly, Yuan Hong and the others were indeed the victims; their skulls were smashed, which is why they weren't imprisoned in the Immortal Prison.

On that day, Wang Xuan read the second volume of "Nine Transformations of Ascension" at the Pingtian Academy. As for the first volume, An Hong had gone bankrupt for it and had redeemed it for him 2 years and 8 months ago.

"Is this the scripture from the chessboard battlefield that allows True Immortals to embark on the initial path of Dao-imperialized?" An Hong was shocked.

When exchanging for the second volume of "Nine Transformations of Ascension," he once again stepped in. Several people contributed their academy contribution points to help Wang Xuan obtain the book, but this time An Hong did so willingly, filled with excitement and joy.

Because the scriptures that Wang Xuan gave them were truly astonishing.

After learning the truth, Hong Teng, Cheng Tian, and Qi Miao were all initially stunned, followed by immense joy.

Soon, the "Primordial Spirit Atlas" was also redeemed, and the group handed it to Wang Xuan.

"Be careful," Wang Xuan warned. "The scriptures that allow you to follow the Dao-imperialized Path must not be leaked, otherwise they may bring you trouble."

The group nodded, all understanding the danger involved.

What scripture is this? It might be related to the legendary Old Saints or New Saints!

In the Universe Sea of Stars, no major lineage can ignore such scriptures. If they find any information about them, they will inevitably vie for them and try to obtain them for their own perusal.

Even the elder brother of Yan Que, who obtained a similar chapter with a powerful figure, had to share it, and disciples from several top lineages came to study it together.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this carefully. When I exchange it with my brother, I'll have him swear an oath to the Dao that it won't leak out, and then I'll get his copy. I know his character; if he could keep the copy he obtained back then a secret, he would never let the other families' descendants see it," Yan Que secretly transmitted.

He promised that once he received the scriptures, he would leave a message and deliver the scriptures to the enclosed space of the Higher Mental World, as Wang Xuan had mentioned.

Wang Xuan also followed Wu Tian's example, opening up a secret room in the Higher Mental World specifically for "connecting" to others.

Before leaving, Wang Xuan asked a few people to take care of Su Tong and Ling Xuan. The two had been very kind to him, but he shouldn't have too much contact with them now.

Because the people of the Fusion with Dao Sect might have their eyes on him.

"If it is safe for them, they can be shown the scriptures. If it is not safe, then forget it and give them a profound immortal scripture instead."

He believed that these prodigies who had broken through limits were not lacking in immortal scriptures.

"Goodbye, everyone." Wang Xuan turned around, preparing to leave the academy and even travel far away from the Pingtian Star Domain.

The starry sky is so vast, the universe so boundless; this parting may truly be the last time we meet.

"You don't need to leave. You can stay. I'll go tell my great-grandfather and ask him to take care of things here on Ascension Star. No one will dare to cause trouble," Cai Wei said.

Wang Xuan was a little dizzy. In fact, he just wanted to avoid that Ancient Sage. Now he could no longer hide here, and Gong Yan, who controlled the scales of Rule Scale, was terrifying. He was definitely someone he did not want to meet.

He quickly declined, saying that the starry sky was so vast that he wanted to see it, wander around, and that if fate allowed, they would meet again.

Yan Que understood his mindset and said, "Don't worry, in the future, we will also enter the depths of the universe, and will not go directly to the Immortal Realm. The Star Sea is both vast and small. In the future, you will definitely participate in various grand events, some renowned pure lands, exchange meetings between cultivators, divine cities that specialize in exchanging rare items, holy lands for discussing and exchanging knowledge, etc. Then, we might meet again."

Qi Miao nodded and said, "That's right. The starry sky may be vast, but there will still be a time for us to reunite. The future is promising."

Wang Xuan smiled, thinking that they might meet again in the near future.

He thought these people were all good; they were reliable as friends, quite united in their dealings with others, and genuinely willing to stand up for each other when one of them encountered trouble.

"I'm leaving now. Take care, and make the most of your cultivation. I hope that we can meet again not only in this sea of stars, but also in the future, in another Supernatural Center Universe, so that we can drink together." Wang Xuan turned and walked out of the academy, rising into the air step by step.

"Good, that's spirited!"

"We need to work harder," An Hong sighed.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the academy. Someone claiming to be Yun Hong from the Fusion with Dao Sect wanted to visit Pingtian Academy and said he had something to discuss.

Wang Xuan stopped abruptly, frowning. He hadn't even gone out yet, and the people from the Fusion with Dao Sect had already arrived. They were so fast; it seemed to be a great master.

Aside from Yuan Hong and Liu Guang, the fact that the Fusion with Dao Sect had other powerful senior figures in the Immortal City was indeed beyond his expectations.

This put him in a dilemma. Should he unleash his full power with the First Killing Array Diagram and fight it out here? Whether it's the Fusion with Dao Sect or the Time Cult, if they dare to reach out, then let's fight!

Yan Que, An Hong, Qi Miao and the others immediately changed their expressions and quickly came to Wang Xuan's side.

"My contact person!" Cai Wei said.

"No rush, let's wait a bit," Wang Xuan stopped her.

"Yun Hong, what is it?" From deep within the academy, a middle-aged man appeared in the sky. His eyes were deep and profound, clearly indicating that he was a powerful cultivator who had been practicing for many years.

"A student in your college named Qin Cheng has a questionable identity. He seems to be connected to that ferocious creature who goes by the aliases Nine Nether Black Crow and Wu Tian. I came here specifically for him," Yun Hong said.

Wang Xuan frowned, surprised to find that it was related to Wu Tian and that he was implicated by him.

An Hong, Cheng Tian, Yan Que, and the others immediately became nervous, fearing that Wang Xuan would not be able to escape.

Deep within the academy, a middle-aged man high in the sky spoke, "Today, Fusion with Dao Sect Yuan Hong, a disciple of the He Dao Sect, had a conflict with Qin Cheng and others, disciples of our academy. It is not appropriate to hand him over to the Fusion with Dao Sect at this time."

"It's Teacher Lei Ming." Cheng Tian was overjoyed, feeling that Lei Ming was protecting the students of his academy.

In the Immortal City, outside the academy, Yun Hong stood amidst the clouds and said, "Fellow Daoist, this matter is of great importance. The ferocious creature that once transformed into the Nine Nether Black Crow stole our sect's treasure. Today we have a clue, and we must see Qin Cheng, who is involved in this."

Lei Ming, with his black hair flowing down his back and dressed in modern clothes, said, "Qin Cheng accepted a mission to gain contribution points and has already gone out. He's not in the courtyard. I will question him carefully when he returns."

Hong Teng, An Hong, and the others remained silent. Qin Cheng stood beside them, and they all knew that Lei Ming was unwilling to hand over the disciples in the sanctuary.

After a brief silence, Yun Hong left, saying, "I'll come again tomorrow."

A moment later, Wang Xuan and the others received a telepathic message and arrived at the depths of the academy, where they met Lei Ming, whose Essence, Qi, and Spirit were contained within.

"Thank you very much, Professor Lei Ming." Wang Xuan expressed his sincere gratitude.

Lei Ming was of medium height, but he gave off a majestic aura, exuding confidence and power. His eyes were deep-set as he said, "It's nothing. Although the He Fusion with Dao Sect is strong, my Pingtian Academy is not weak either. If my disciples are in trouble and are not protected, what's the point of continuing to operate this academy?"

He told Wang Xuan to focus on his studies at the academy.

Lei Ming said, "Don't worry, the dean is also an extraordinary person. He represents not only the academy, but also Senior Gong Yan's close friend. The two of them can ensure the peace and stability of the Pingtian Star Domain."

Wang Xuan was genuinely surprised. The Dean was also an extraordinary person? The Pingtian Star Domain was incredibly powerful, possessing two Ancient Sages, plus the Rule Scale, making its foundation extremely profound.

"If any powerful figure fails to act responsibly, we can contact the Dean at any time, and he can descend from the Outer Chaos Dojo," Lei Ming said calmly.

Wang Xuan quickly said no, he was very grateful, but he didn't want to meet with Ancient Sage.

He subtly indicated that he wanted to go Depths of Starry Sky to gain experience and leave this place.

Lei Ming looked at him, and finally nodded without stopping him. He could remain calm when dealing with students who had broken through their limits three times, but he was still quite unsettled by a student who might be breaking through for the fourth time.

He said, "If you insist on leaving, I will not stop you. Be careful when you are training outside. There is a super Teleportation Array in the depths of the academy that leads to the outside world."

Yan Que, Qi Miao, An Hong, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the academy's caring attitude, which gave them a sense of belonging to the academy.

Seeing that Wang Xuan was determined to leave and enter the super Teleportation Array, Lei Ming said at the last moment, "You can come back at any time. The academy will always open its doors to you."

"Thank you, Master Lei." Although it was their first meeting, Wang Xuan had a very good impression of him, and this also gave him a different feeling towards the Pingtian Academy. He had lived there for nearly three years, but it was not as impressive as this instant impression.

The rosy light flickered intensely, and celestial mist billowed. This was not a natural wormhole area, but a super Teleportation Array set up using celestial techniques.

Amidst the dazzling rain of light, Wang Xuan vanished from this place, leaving the academy behind.
