New Chapter: More Good Fortune, a New Son
Inside the nest, Wang Xuan sat quietly, a "great sun" Shine Upon on his skull, its Divine Light descending and forming patterns on his white skull.
"Am I really going to fully Dao-imperialized?" He wondered, his tranquil mind seemingly stirred by the wind.
Right now, he is "painting" on that bone at a speed visible to the naked eye, outlining the texture, and a mysterious Daoist charm is gathering here.
He quickly calmed down. At this stage, it was impossible for his skull to be completely Dao-imperialized. The patterns were very faint, so he could only say that he was on the way.
It is extremely difficult for a true immortal to walk this path. The fact that he has manifested it now is truly remarkable, far surpassing the "illusory patterns" that he previously visualized and manifested!
Wang Xuan seriously suspected that if he were to charge headfirst into it now, he could break the bones and tendons of a Celestial-level creature.
He fell silent for a moment. If he had known this would happen, he should have used the Dao-imperialized Hand Bone first. After all, who would bother to shake their head and rush into their opponent during a fight?
He never expected to encounter such a mysterious object today, which could actually make the faint Imperial Daoized texture appear on his skull.
Normally, at the level of a True Immortal, the so-called path of "Dao-imperialized" remains at the level of contemplation, and can manifest a Daoist charm that is half illusory and half real.
It is precisely because of this that the light is being consumed and fading at a visible rate, with the skull being the biggest consumer of it, even more so than flesh and blood and the primordial spirit.
With a soft click, this sound existed on the spiritual level, not in the outside world, as if a door had been pushed open, and Wang Xuan broke through to a higher realm.
Previously, his cultivation was at the True Immortal Third Heaven, but now, in a state of peace, he naturally ascended to the fourth level. That soft sound echoed in his spiritual realm, like the first rumble of spring thunder, Resurrected, letting him know that he had become stronger.
Moreover, it's not over yet; his cultivation is still slowly improving.
"What exactly is this ball of light?" he wondered. This thing was too strange; it had no side effects and no domineering energy factor impact.
His internal organs were now in harmony, as if a heavenly tribulation was being released within him, with divine light flashing one after another. In reality, it was the resonance of vigorous vitality, not true thunder.
On his body surface, some impurities were expelled, but not in large quantities. After all, he was already a true immortal, and his physical body was spotless. The impurities were mainly metabolic products, with some bloodstains and a small amount of bone that had been directly replaced.
"The effect is decreasing sharply, and the rate of improvement is slowing down." Wang Xuan sighed softly. The Light Source was thinning, but he did not stop and continued to absorb it.
The skull glowed, like a mirror reflecting the universe, and the Dao-imperialized patterns emerged, like countless tiny galaxies flowing.
At this moment, Wang Xuan had several points of reference. One was the rare bone he had accidentally handled when he entered the Immortal Realm from the Ascension Cliff of the Pingtian Academy to attend the wedding of Zhu Chuan's daughter, the Old Vermilion Bird. Another was the skull fragment Wu Tian had shown him. Furthermore, the scriptures left by the ancestors of Bai Hong, Jin Yao, and others on the Floating Boat Pure Land outside the chaotic timeline also revealed the path to Dao-imperialized.
To Wang Xuan's surprise, as he reflected on the stone tablet inscriptions and the Golden Bamboo Slips, he discovered that they also contained this kind of true meaning!
After consulting various sources, he condensed patterns on his white skull, which in fact could be considered as defusing a potential Calamity of Slaughter.
If the process of Dao-imperialized is exactly the same as that of Bai Hong's ancestors, without any changes, then he will inevitably be hunted down by the True Saint who killed the owner of the Fishing Net and the Soul Summoning Banner.
As time passed, Wang Xuan's skull became increasingly translucent, and the unique Imperial Dao Texture that belonged to him officially revealed their blurred form today.
Even if he stops meditating from now on, this bone will not degenerate, and the accumulated Daoist essence will be preserved.
"That's it. This light is useless against the skull." He sighed softly, as most of his divine and spiritual essence had flowed into his skull.
He became increasingly suspicious that this was Mysterious Matter left behind by an extremely powerful alien from Extraterrestrial Civilization.
With a soft "click," at the last moment, the dim "Great Sun" attached to his skull still provided the foundation for his flesh and spirit, allowing him to break through the barrier once again.
He arrived at the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm!
Wang Xuan was stunned. Putting aside the changes in his skull, the fact that he had advanced in realm twice in a row was enough to be equivalent to forty years of hard work, which was extremely astonishing.
At this point, the gradually thinning light no longer had a significant effect on him.
He turned to look at the different kinds of eggs, lost in thought, and couldn't bring himself to eat them. He had a guess that during the three-way battle at the Holy Temple, a powerful figure had moved the Divine Egg off the battlefield and left them here, leaving behind a "Light Source" to incubate them.
Inside the nest, there are Chaos Stone, a forbidden-grade main material, as well as some other items, which were probably collected and brought in along with other things.
"Anyway, you're going to be born soon, so it didn't delay your arrival into the world. I'll protect you and prevent Yuan Hong and the others from devouring you," Wang Xuan said, looking at the Divine Egg.
He got up and searched for strange objects deep inside the giant nest. Among them was a black broken knife, made of rare materials, which should be a weapon of Super Peerless life cultivation.
There were also broken artifacts, the composition of which was unanalyzable and the hardness of which was so extreme that even Wang Xuan could not leave a fingerprint on them despite using all his strength.
He collected a few of the rarest fragments into the killing array diagram, and with the Chaos Stone he had previously used, he estimated that he could repair this Great Killer Weapon to about 70-80% completeness.
He could detect the composition of the items, which were not particularly rare treasures or materials, but he didn't touch them, leaving them to appease those who came after him.
Clang!
He pulled a Wolf Fang Club from the gaps in the nest woven by the Divine Wood and the immortal vine. It was quite heavy, with part of the top broken off and most of the sharp spikes missing.
However, as a substitute for the Black Iron Rod, this thing is quite handy, and its hardness and lethality seem even more astonishing.
Wang Xuan swung the black, broken Wolf Fang Club lightly, causing the void to collapse and twist, emitting a terrifying sound, like the real wails of ghosts and gods.
He weighed it in his hand, looking at it again and again. This thing must have been a Great Killer Weapon before, but the core of its internal regular texture had been destroyed.
"It's you. Keep it for self-defense. A group of bandits outside are trying to break into my house," Wang Xuan said. He could naturally sense the rumbling sound coming from the sky; a group of people were breaking through the formation.
"Hmm?" His expression turned slightly cold. Someone had come in so quickly. He sensed the fluctuations of the great formation and walked out, carrying a large club with many missing iron nails.
Soon, his expression softened again. Although the Five Elements Mountain was vast, once he left the giant nest, he could instantly cover the entire area and know who had entered.
"Brother Wu, you're back?" He saw the true master of Five Elements Mountain.
The wolverine returned, clearly in a daze. He had used Void-Breaking Talisman to escape back, locating his own mountain gate. The Five Elements Great Formation wouldn't stop him; it had already been imprinted with his primordial spirit. Looking at the enormous Kunpeng Nest, he felt dizzy.
"Did I escape or not?" There were fallen sea cliffs, parts of frozen soil, and a massive nest stretching out in front of him, making him wonder if he was still in the secret realm.
"Let me go!" a woman shouted angrily.
The wolverine returned with a woman in a white dress and black hair wrapped around her waist, and escaped the Space-Time Secret Realm with her.
"I saved you." The wolverine released its grip.
"Save what? They're just a bunch of mutated undead. They haven't even surrounded us yet, and you've already deserted. It's one thing for you to run away, but why did you grab me and pull me out with you?!"
The woman from the Black Peacock Clan was furious. She was Luo Ying's confidante and followed her closely. This time, she hadn't even had a chance to contribute before being forced to leave the scene.
The wolverine was embarrassed. Sensing danger, he habitually ran away. Out of gratitude for saving the person, he also picked one up with him.
"I will stand with you, Miss, and we will enter the secret realm together!" The woman said with a dark face, pushing the wolverine aside and turning to leave.
"Don't go any further! The opportunity is right in front of you. This is the Kunpeng Nest! Why are you still going into the secret realm? That frozen land is really dangerous!" the wolverine advised.
"You wolf demons, quickly activate the great formation! This Kunpeng Nest does not belong to you; it is our spoils of war!" someone shouted from the sky.
High in the sky, a group of people were tired and resting. It has to be said that the magic array set up by Elder Qingkong of the Black Peacock Clan was too powerful. A group of so-called geniuses used all kinds of rare treasures but still couldn't break it.
"What the hell? You've come to bully my home?" The wolverine looked up, saw the strange sight high in the sky, and corrected, "I am the Black Peacock Great King!"
It was originally a brilliant starry sky, but it cracked open, and the scenery in the Space-Time Secret Realm fell into the real world. Some mountains and extraordinary beings are outside the Five Elements Mountain.
"Second King, what's going on? A group of people have stormed our dojo?" the wolverine asked.
Wang Xuan briefly explained the situation, Wu Xingtian's eyes immediately lit up. He exclaimed, "Let's go see! You're just sitting at home, and good fortune comes to you out of nowhere. If I had known this would happen, why would I have gone to fight to the death? I could have just stayed home."
Luo Ying's confidante, the white-clothed woman, Chen Yu, was indignant and said, "When did you fight to the death? You escaped six times, and finally just came out!"
"Enough talk, I, Five Elements Mountain, will share this destiny with you, come on!" The wolverine waved his hand magnanimously.
He asked Wang Xuan what realm he was at now, because he felt that his aura had become stronger again, and then he was shocked and exclaimed, "Ninth Heaven of True Immortal?!"
Last time, Wang Xuan told him that after eight hundred years of cultivation, he was at the True Immortal Sixth Heaven. After going into seclusion, he advanced to the seventh level, which the wolverine felt was very fast.
Not long after he left, when he returned, the Second King had almost caught up with him in terms of cultivation level!
"Is this the mysterious Light Source? I'll give it a try!" Without hesitation, he fixed the remaining light from Wang Xuan in front of him and quickly refined it.
"Good stuff, I... I can probably break through to the Heavenly level!" The wolverine was shocked. Then, he stared at the broken treasures on the ground and the most dazzling Divine Egg, which were all glowing, which greatly impressed him.
Chen Yu, the Black Peacock, was also astonished. These eggs with runes were definitely no weaker than the purest Black Peacock family; they were all powerful mutants.
"What kind of monsters are these? Could it be a compilation of the most elite races?" Chen Yu, who could follow Luo Ying, must have an extraordinary Roots, belonging to the top bloodline of the pure-blooded Black Peacock.
Now her expression was solemn as she said, "Protect these Divine Eggs; they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of those people outside."
Wang Xuan reminded her that there were people from the Golden Palace and the Fusion with Dao Sect outside, and even people from the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall were approaching.
"Don't be afraid. This is something that fell into your dojo, so it's reasonable. The people of Black Peacock Sacred Mountain are not afraid of them. Elder Qingkong will be back soon. Let her take a look and see if there is Sacred Egg of my Peacock Clan inside."
Even Wang Xuan was shocked. There was such a thing as Sacred Egg?
"That's a bit of an exaggeration; they're probably just offspring of the Extraordinary Ones," the wolverine told him.
As he spoke, he examined the Divine Egg. Suddenly, one of the pitch-black eggs cracked, and a tiny creature was born, innocent and unaware. When it opened its eyes, it looked completely bewildered, its gaze incredibly pure.
"Zhao Gu records, the Sirius that hatches from the egg is Ancestor Return aberration, at the very least a descendant of Super Peerless being!" Chen Yu said solemnly, as she was particularly sensitive to the bloodline domain.
The little wolf, with its dense stripes and resembling a dog, pounced on Wu Xingtian, who had a wolf-like head and badger-like features, and licked his face with its little tongue, showing its deep affection.
"Wolf, I am a peacock, not your father!" The Dog Badger was caught off guard.
"Forget about the peacock, having such an offspring is a huge win for you!" Chen Yu transmitted his voice.
"Hurry up and acknowledge your relatives!" Wang Xuan said quickly.
The wolverine stared blankly for a moment, then said, "For sixteen hundred years, I have always kept myself pure and chaste, without even a Daoist partner." Then, he grinned, revealing his large white teeth, picked up the wolf cub, and said, "From now on, I'm your father!"
Then, he introduced Wang Xuan, saying, "See this? This is your Second Father!"
Thump!
Outsiders are struggling against the Five Elements Great Formation, and a group of people are knocking on the gate, trying to break in.
Wang Xuan didn't go out to make a move easily; instead, he stayed by the giant nest and watched them.
After a long while, Chen Yu revealed a look of joy and said, "Our clan's Super Peerless Elder Qingkong has returned. She is on the nearby meteorite. She knows the situation here and told us that if anyone tries to steal it, we should take action and use the great formation to annihilate them. Outsiders have no right to steal the rare items that have fallen into this Dao field. She will be watching and will deter those people at the crucial moment."
"Really? Then I'll prepare to meet the enemy." Wang Xuan saw that a group of people attacked in succession, and cracks appeared in the airspace above Five Elements Mountain, damaging the defensive light barrier of the great formation.
A moment later, the first creature crashed in, its momentum fierce, and strode toward the Divine Nest, wielding a Starry Ground. From a distance, it directly cleaved Wang Xuan in two.
A dazzling blade flashed through the sky, accompanied by his shout, "You mere wild demon, yet you dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and steal fortune from the hands of a disciple of a top sect! Die!"
Wang Xuan didn't say anything, but blocked him and smashed the gleaming longsword down with a Wolf Fang Club. With a clang, the longsword cracked.
Seeing this, he quickly pretended to fight the newcomer with magic and other techniques dozens of times, but in the end he decisively struck, and with a snap, he knocked the man's head off with a single blow!
"I...!" High in the sky, amidst the brilliant starry sky, outside the Five Elements Great Formation, a group of people had not expected such an outcome.
