Breaking Through and Stunned Speechless

As you approach the exit, the path once again presents an awkward sense of distorted light, allowing you to see your own back.

"Everything was foreshadowed," Wang Xuan muttered to himself. Here, the physical bodies of true immortals were being torn apart, and everyone was becoming blurred and their forms were faint. This was a premature manifestation of certain essential aspects of the Space-Time Secret Realm.

Many people were silent, covered in blood, and some of the superhumans still had severed monster claws stuck in their bodies, which they hadn't had time to pull out.

Many were left forever on that frozen land behind them, torn apart by the mutated undead, and some were even devoured alive.

At the exit, Wu Xingtian, spotted the Second King emerging from the mist and immediately went to greet him, saying, "Brother, you're lucky to be alive. It's not easy to come back alive."

Wang Xuan, his body still covered in blood, looked as if he had just fought his way out of a fierce battle. After emerging, he stepped onto the meteorite, let out a long breath, and sighed, "Luckily."

Nearby, the superhumans were in an uproar; many were in a daze, and quite a few wore expressions of grief.

"I heard that many people died inside. It's so tragic. Some were five brothers who went in, but only one came back alive. Some were couples who went in together, but ended up alone. One of them escaped, holding the other's bleeding arm, and returned home in tears."

Wu Xingtian explained the situation, saying that the Black Peacock Clan hadn't come out yet, and he was quite worried about Luo Ying.

"You really managed to resist going in?" Wang Xuan asked.

Wu Xingtian, "I just wandered around near the entrance for a while, enjoying the scenery of the frozen land. I saw someone become prey in the rough hunting map on the rocks and die instantly. I'm a coward, so I just ran away."

Wang Xuan believes that this is due to his strong sense of crisis and outstanding survival skills.

Wu Xingtian looked towards the entrance and said, "Black Heart Old Eight came out alive. He's really got some skills. He's been in the Meteor Sea for decades and has always managed to return safely from the secret realm every time he enters it."

The highly charlatan, Black Heart Old Eight, was seriously injured this time. A severed hand was stuck in his buttocks, and a beast's claw was embedded in his shoulder blade. He was covered in blood.

"Second King, I've found some good stuff this time. Come back to my stall and take a closer look." After escaping, Black Heart Old Eight tore off the severed hand from his buttocks and waved it at Wang Xuan in greeting.

"Okay, Boss Hei, see you later." Wang Xuan nodded perfunctorily.

Next, Kong Xuan, the Second King of Five Elements Mountain, was quite idle, becoming an outsider, standing here and listening to Wu Xingtian introduce the people he had met.

In a short time, he memorized many of the famous unregistered residents of the Meteorite Sea, which can be considered as indirectly integrating into the area.

"Our clan's number one young expert Luo Ying, has emerged. Fortunately, apart from a slight tear on her black battle dress, she's mostly unharmed." Wu Xingtian called to Wang Xuan to go and greet her.

Luo Ying also lost some members of her entourage; three Demon Immortals died inside, but fortunately, the problem wasn't too serious.

Suddenly, chaos erupted at the exit area. People from the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall rushed out, sealing off the area. They were all covered in blood and exuding a murderous aura as they scanned everyone.

Whether they were newcomers or people from nearby, they were all targeted and their primordial spirits were probed. Even the top demon race, the Black Peacock, were scrutinized by them.

Then, the people from the Golden Palace rushed out, frustrated and indignant, scrutinizing everyone nearby with anger.

"What? The Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall have been attacked? These are colossal entities that stand high above, overlooking the starry sky. Who would dare to touch them?"

The news shocked everyone.

The two lineages have incredibly long histories, and it is said that they produced True Saint were extremely powerful in their Dao-imperialized, making them unfathomable. Even in certain eras when the two religions declined, no one dared to explore their roots.

For a moment, under the brilliant starry sky, among the meteorites, the extraordinary individuals were in an uproar.

"Niu Ben, the direct disciple of the Tattoo Palace —Hongdao, had his head smashed with a stick. Who was the genius who did this?" Badger Wu Xingtian, went out for a stroll and heard this secret, and was immediately amazed.

Soon, it was no longer a secret; various parties both inside and outside the area found out and began discussing it heatedly.

"Something's not right. Why are the people from the Golden Palace even more grief-stricken than the people from the Tattoo Palace? Some of them have bloodshot eyes and look at everyone with murderous intent."

A moment later, people were stunned. They learned that the Tattoo Palace had been attacked, but people had died in the Golden Palace. What a twist of fate!

"Mo Qing tried to curry favor with the Tattoo Palace and ambushed the murderer along the way, which resulted in the tragic deaths of several people from the Golden Palace, and in the end, even Mo Qing was caught in the crossfire."

When the truth was revealed, everyone's expressions changed. They could naturally sense that the Golden Palace had tried to befriend the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall, but they had kicked a hornet's nest, and their own core disciple had been killed.

People in this area were both shocked and had mixed feelings. Who was this ruthless person who dared to commit such a major crime?

In the Meteorite Sea, 70% of the inhabitants are undocumented. Apart from the Wild Immortals, there are also many interstellar fugitives, all of whom are very ferocious. Upon learning this, I was filled with... awe.

Even thugs like them wouldn't dare to offend such a behemoth on a normal day.

"Golden Horn King? Never heard of him. He's just one person, yet he challenged three major sects and killed Mo Qing. It's a bit like a dream."

On this day, the Golden Horn King became famous Meteorite Sea.

The Second King, Kong Xuan, and the Great King, Wolverine, craned their necks to look around, "eating melons" (watching the drama unfold), joining in the fun, and asking people about the secrets of the battle.

Most of the unregistered residents here are refugees who have challenged or offended powerful forces. They have no sympathy for Mo Qing now, but instead think that Golden Horn King is incredibly bold.

The five Super Peerless, including Hell Black Ant, Green Ram Sword Immortal, and Black Bull Saber Immortal, still showed some responsibility, fighting a group of monsters in the frozen land for a long time before withdrawing.

This also helped the superhumans cover their retreat, allowing the survivors to escape.

Finally, the passage to the Space-Time Secret Realm was closed and completely sealed off, and it will not reopen for some time.

At Five Elements Mountain, Wang Xuan prepared to go into seclusion and establish a Daoist temple on the second peak. He not only wanted to improve his Daoist cultivation but also to brew some medicinal wine.

Wu Xingtian exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, your cultivation is profound, and you're about to break through to a higher realm? That's incredible. I feel you're still quite young, aren't you?"

"I have wasted eight hundred years of my life and have only reached the True Immortal Sixth Heaven. If I do not strive to break through to the next level, I will truly have squandered my time," Wang Xuan replied.

He's not actually that old; he's 212 years old now, a True Immortal at the second level. However, he has broken through his limits multiple times, and his cultivation is indeed extremely profound, which is why he's hiding it like this.

The wolverine was startled and said, "Only eight hundred years, and you've already reached the True Immortal Sixth Heaven. That's an extraordinary achievement, isn't it? I've been cultivating for sixteen hundred years and have only just touched the threshold of the Heavenly Realm. And yet, people say I'm already quite fast."

Wang Xuan was stunned and asked, "Isn't it said that after Ascension to Immortality, some people can advance one level in twenty years?"

"Those are extremely rare cases, belonging exclusively to exceptionally gifted individuals, and they are only in the initial stage of Ascension to Immortality; the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to break through the barriers."

Wu Xingtian continued, "Anyone who can become an immortal within three hundred years is considered an extraordinary genius, and someone who can reach the Heavenly level within fifteen hundred years is considered a relatively powerful being."

"Congratulations, Peacock Great King, on standing shoulder to shoulder with such formidable figures, only a few decades behind some others," Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"Keep a low profile? That's not certain. Maybe it will take a year or two, or maybe it will take ten years to reach the Heavenly Grade Domain." The wolverine smiled broadly, also believing that he himself possessed extraordinary talent.

Then he looked at Wang Xuan and said, "I feel that your sixth level of cultivation is even more powerful than that of Supernatural Practitioner."

Wang Xuan asked, "The Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall, these legendary lineages, do their disciples become immortals at around two hundred years old? And can they advance to a higher realm every twenty years or so?"

The wolverine said, "There's no need to compare with them. Those who become immortals early aren't necessarily able to transcend. Some extraordinary individuals who embark on the path of Dao-imperialized are late bloomers. Besides, this time it was just the Golden Horn King who appeared. A mere rogue cultivator, also at the True Immortal realm, yet he splattered Hongdao's brains out and beat Mo Qing, the core successor of the Golden Palace, to death. He's truly fierce and a remarkable hero, making one admire him and wish to meet him!"

His sentiments reflected the prevailing atmosphere in Meteor Sea, where undocumented immigrants were known for their defiance and defiance of authority; otherwise, they wouldn't have fled there.

Wang Xuan was surprised to find that he was so popular.

He went into seclusion, sealing his cave with a killing formation diagram, drawing in the starlight like water to cleanse his primordial spirit, nourish his physical body, and study the Imperial Daoized texture on his skull.

At the same time, he also brewed wine in the cave.

The rare items collected from the True Saint's Backyard are mainly for medicinal prescriptions. If they are transformed into aged wine, and the medicinal properties become "mellow" in the wine, then he will benefit from them for a long time to come, which can help him walk the path of Dao-imperialized.

Brewing wine, studying scriptures, visualizing and manifesting the patterns on his skull... He lived a fulfilling and busy life, adjusted his state, and began to consume the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo.

It has five sections, and each section of bamboo is a different color.

Using the Killing Formation Diagram, Wang Xuan carved a small hole in the first section of the green bamboo. A drop of emerald green liquid rolled out and was absorbed by him. The remaining scent had a rich fragrance, and after being captured by his open pores, his whole body radiated light.

Not to mention the drop of green liquid he swallowed directly. This was the innate power of wood, full of vitality, which activated all the cells in his body, like a rebirth.

His long black hair grew out and became incredibly shiny, followed by his bone marrow, which produced blood rapidly, replacing the old blood.

Subsequently, Wang Xuan used the killing intent from the array diagram to pierce through the section of earth-yellow bamboo, from which a drop of innate earth-attribute primordial liquid rolled out, thick and powerful, directly replenishing the body's essence.

"What a treasure!" Wang Xuan exclaimed. This Five-Colored Strange Bamboo was far more precious than he had imagined, no wonder so many people were vying to buy it.

The biggest worry for those who break through limits is that they will exhaust their Dao source in advance, which will be detrimental to their future development. This Five-Colored Strange Bamboo can obviously make up for this.

Although Wang Xuan never worried about himself, believing that he had a solid foundation.

But the obvious change he was experiencing made his pores open up, and light rained down on him. He felt as if he were ascending to heaven again, and his vitality was as abundant as the sea.

Then, he split open the remaining three sections of bamboo and drank three drops of Innate Origin of different attributes.

On that day, Wang Xuan broke through his cultivation barrier and officially stepped into the True Immortal Third Heaven. His cultivation level increased again, and the patterns on his skull became clearer and more complex.

"No wonder they were looking for the Eight-Colored Strange Bamboo." Wang Xuan opened his eyes, and two bolts of lightning flashed across the entire cave, indicating a significant increase in his strength.

The extraordinary bamboo that surpasses five colors is mostly a change in scale; its medicinal effects can only be known by tasting it!

He felt both regret and anticipation. The people from the Tattoo Palace were too unhelpful; he wondered if he would be able to find the Eight-Colored Strange Bamboo again.

As for having him carry the Five-Colored Strange Bamboo to search for it? He didn't want to risk revealing his identity, and most importantly, he didn't know the secret method for finding the bamboo.

At the same time, he thought of the Ten-Colored Strange Bamboo in the True Saint's Backyard and completely underestimated its value. It was most likely a sacred object!

Wang Xuan dawdled for a while before finally emerging from seclusion. After tasting the sweetness of the Good Fortune Strange Items, he felt that if he wanted to rise to power quickly, he needed to find some special Good Fortune Item.

A group of lesser demons stepped forward to pay their respects, shouting, "Congratulations Second King, on breaking through the barrier! You've taken another big step closer to becoming a Heavenly Demon!"

Badger Wu Xingtian, arrived immediately, nodded repeatedly, and then talked about some recent events.

The people from the Tattoo Palace are making some big moves. After their failure in the Time -Space-Time Secret Realm some time ago, they started collecting all sorts of divine treasures and rare items, hoping to create a Treasure Mirror of Good Fortune to expose the villains.

Wang Xuan's heart sank. Could such a thing really exist?

The people of the Tattoo Palace seemed to be furious, and even sought the help of Super Peerless like the Hell Black Ant and the Green Ram Sword Immortal to refine the treasure.

"However, those few Super Peerless only lent them some rare items and were unwilling to get too involved, fearing that anyone who dared to attack the Tattoo Palace must also be someone of great importance." After saying this, Wu Xingtian showed a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xuan asked.

The wolverine informed them that the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall quickly located the culprit and pursued him all the way into the starry sky.

"Have you caught them?"

Wu Xingtian shook his head. "No, a hero goes forth and never returns."

"They were killed in retaliation?" Wang Xuan was surprised. Which Anomalous Being's path to help those in need?

The wolverine said, "No, they simply vanished, never to return."

"What's going on?" Wang Xuan asked in astonishment.

The wolverine whispered, "Before they left, they collected a lot of rare and precious items, but they didn't pay for anything, including that Five-Colored Strange Bamboo, and then they Ying a trace."

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded. This was outrageous! Could they be a group of scammers?

This modus operandi seems familiar. Four years ago, a group of swindlers also appeared on Haichuan Star, defrauding and stealing the origin of that super cave heaven— Old Saint Edict Fragment.

This is even more shocking! They actually dared to impersonate the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall and commit crimes here?!

Wang Xuan was stunned. He had been double-crossed and robbed a group of swindlers of their Five-Colored Strange Bamboo.

Logically speaking, the enemies of the Tattoo Palace should be his friends, but the relationship is indeed quite complicated.

"In the past two days, there has been some secret news that the real successor of the Tattoo Palace and the disciples of the Paper Saint Hall have been lured to an in the Deadly Peril in the Pingtian Star Domain and have been trapped there ever since."

Wu Xingtian lowered his voice and told them, unable to suppress his laughter. This was the general atmosphere of Meteor Sea: it supported resistance against authority and highly valued unruly geniuses.

What else could Wang Xuan say but to remain an outsider and watch how things unfold?

Three days later, the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall were enraged, and another group of people arrived to investigate the scandal.

There's only one chapter tonight. I'll adjust it like this every week or two from now on. I've figured it out; no matter how I adjust, the powerful inertia will automatically correct itself until late at night. But please rest assured, the total word count each month won't be less. I'll guarantee an average of 6,000 words per day. The total word count for each month since the book started hasn't been less than that.
