"Your sister, or... yourself?!" Wang Xuan looked at the Female Sword Immortal beside him, his heart filled with unease, having once again witnessed the beings behind the scenes.

This time it was different; it seemed to be a familiar immortal beside her, who looked exactly like the Sword Immortal, even their clothes were identical.

Behind the behind the Great Curtain, a woman with a graceful and elegant figure, dressed in a pristine white gown, carried a celestial sword on her back, her hair flowing freely, her face exquisitely beautiful, untouched by worldly concerns. She trod upon the rubble, following that magnificent world, until she approached the Inner Scenery Realm.

The Sword Immortal stepped forward and touched the curtain with her hand. The two women's identical palms touched each other through a layer of crystalline light. The two Female Sword Immortal looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

A soft sigh came right next to his ear, very clearly, which immediately made Wang Xuan highly focused and extremely nervous, his mind racing.

Last time, the one who could make a sound in the Inner Scenery Realm was that powerful Red-clothed Demon Immortal with Oil-paper Umbrella. She almost broke through the curtain and rushed over, which was truly terrifying.

Is the "familiar immortal" beside him about to cause trouble too?

"We are one person!" From behind the Great Curtain, the ethereal and otherworldly Female Sword Immortal spoke, her words concise yet revealing the truth: the person inside and outside the curtain is one.

Her voice was very pleasant, and she sounded quite young. Although she had a kind of otherworldly and aloof temperament, like the proud Sword Immortal on the other side of the curtain, she was clearly keeping a straight face. As for her true nature, it was probably similar to the one beside her, since they were the same person.

"Are you coming over?" Wang Xuan asked cautiously.

The aloof Female Sword Immortal stood on the other side of the curtain. Upon hearing his question, she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. Her otherworldly aura, as if covered by the bright moonlight, suddenly crumbled, and she looked rather cute, as if she couldn't wait any longer.

But in the end, she became a little frustrated and whispered, "I can't get through this."

She lowered her head and lightly kicked at the rubble and stones on the ground, looking listless.

The seemingly aloof and proud Female Sword Immortal actually had this side to her. Wang Xuan suddenly felt that she wasn't so fierce anymore, and actually... kind of cute?

Clearly, the Female Sword Immortal beside him noticed the change in his expression. She immediately patted the curtain lightly with her hand and raised her chin as an example, seemingly telling him to mind his image!

"She will be in a deep slumber for three years," the Sword Immortal opposite her said.

This startled Wang Xuan. The Female Sword Immortal asked him to send the true bones left behind by her ascension back to that desolate low mountain, so that she would sleep there.

She then added, "Don't come to places like this often."

That one sentence is enough. It shows that the Sword Immortal is a really good person. She is warning him that this place is very dangerous and that there are extraordinary secrets in the Inner Scenery Realm.

As these words were spoken, lightning appeared on the distant horizon, tearing through the sky with a rumbling sound.

Wang Xuan asked earnestly, "Are the Transcendent Immortals still in the world? What is their situation? And what is your state, fairy? Where is your true form?"

On the other side of the curtain, the Female Sword Immortal raised her head and solemnly and somewhat laboriously uttered a sentence: "The Old Testament... locks... the Mantra."

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning struck from the other side of the curtain, causing the crystalline light barrier separating the two worlds to shake violently and crack.

The Female Sword Immortal raised her head, her hair fluttering, her dress billowing, her bright eyes filled with unwavering conviction. She drew her sword and pointed it directly at the sky. The dazzling sword light tore through the lightning, pierced through the clouds, shattered the thunder, and soared into the heavens!

Terrifying bolts of lightning kept striking down, incredibly violent and dense, bombarding the Female Sword Immortal.

In the end, she used her longsword to block the lightning, gradually quieting the world, but she herself also left, as if under pressure, forced to leave the Great Curtain Area.

She stood in the distance, waved, then shouldered her immortal sword, stepped over the rubble, traversed the vast land, and went off alone into the distance.

The Sword Immortal on the other side of the curtain has left.

The Female Sword Immortal watched the departing figure for a long time without moving, until the figure disappeared.

Wang Xuan understood that the Female Sword Immortal had brought him here directly, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and danger of the situation.

Earlier, Wang Xuan had suspected that the ancients had left behind a trap or set some kind of scheme, and now it seemed that it was more troublesome and had more serious problems than he had imagined.

What is the Old Testament?!

He felt that the problems left by the ancients were too perplexing, waiting for later generations to trigger them. There might be some opportunities, but it would also be extremely dangerous, and the situation was quite complicated.

His ability to open the Inner Scenery Realm on his own was extremely special in ancient times, which is why he has now been approached by both the Female Daoist practitioner and the Sword Immortal.

Wang Xuan was neither elated nor did he feel honored. On the contrary, he felt that time was of the essence and that he had inexplicably fallen into a special and dangerous situation.

He really didn't want to get involved in those things from the past, but now it seems he probably can't escape them.

He had a premonition that the future would be quite terrifying, with all sorts of mysterious and chilling questions coming one after another, because this was a continuation of some terrible events in the past.

"None of the Transcendent Immortals were simple. Those who could reach that level all had their own extraordinary abilities, after all, they had once looked down on a great era."

He speculated that in addition to leaving traps and setting dangerous scenarios for future generations to trigger, the ancients were also fighting among themselves, which would make the future even more terrifying.

In a technological age with Super Battleship, if the future changes, it could very well involve various mysteries between the ancient and the modern, and between the modern and the ancient, which is extremely dangerous.

"A man like Ancestor Wang should have lived a brilliant life. How did he end up struggling in traps, fog, and mysterious events?" Wang Xuan sighed.

The Female Sword Immortal turned her head to look at him, and suddenly felt that he was very narcissistic. How could he say such things? She bathed in the pure white light rain and flew out of the Inner Scenery Realm.

Wang Xuan felt the Inner Scenery Realm becoming faint; he was about to be taken out.

During this process, he did not ask the Sword Immortal about the Old Covenant, because she, who could speak from behind the curtain, had already revealed the danger and the Old Covenant Lock True Word.

Wang Xuan woke up. This time, his sleep was not very long. Then he saw Old Chen walk in with a fishing rod. Wasn't this the one he had thrown into the Reed Pond?

"A gift from an old Confidante?" Wang Xuan asked directly after waking up, still not quite fully awake.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen, who was already gripping the fishing rod tightly, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Ancestor Wang, let's have a spar!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately woke up and realized that Old Chen was in danger; it was obvious that they wanted to beat him up!

He refused decisively and firmly, saying, "No!"

"Tch!" Old Chen was equally resolute, stepping forward to press forward.

Wang Xuan said with a serious expression, "The Sword Immortal asked me to tell you to cultivate diligently. She said your strength is too weak, and three years from now, something terrifying will likely happen in the world. Old Chen, you need to work harder!"

Old Chen looked unfriendly, clearly not believing him.

Wang Xuan said, "Old Chen, I advise you to Xiang Shan. By the way, you should hurry up and send the Divine Monk to New Star. I guess he's waiting to enter a deep sleep. If you don't send him, you'll definitely get beaten up all night again!"

"Ancestor Wang, are you threatening me through someone else?" Old Chen walked over, but his expression immediately changed, and he started yawning. He instantly knew what was about to happen.

Qing Mu looked at Wang Xuan's mouth. Was it really blessed? It worked as soon as he said it!

"Let's talk this out!" Old Chen tried to stay awake, straining his eyes to keep them open, but eventually succumbed to sleepiness and had no choice but to lie down on the bed and peacefully close his eyes.

Not long after, he woke up, looking at Wang Xuan with a ghostly expression. Little Wang had been right. The Old Monk urged him to hurry on his way.

Fortunately, he wasn't beaten all night this time. The old lady was very kind and demonstrated the secret Buddhist martial art, Bodhisattva Fist, to him once again.

Old Chen thought about it and decided to treat Ancestor Wang kindly. He was a little afraid of Wang Jiaozu's ability to attract ghosts, so he decided not to send any more ancient people to him.

Before this, he was ignorant and fearless, quite expectant, hoping to entice those who had ascended to immortality to possess him and learn immortal techniques. Now, through some clues, he has realized that these ancient people are all deep pitfalls, each with their own ulterior motives, and getting involved with them will surely lead to great trouble in the future.

He felt a little sorry for Old Wang now; it was obvious that he was being watched, which made him uneasy.

"What do you think the future will be like?" Old Chen asked, trying to find out what was going on.

Wang Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious. There's still time, isn't there? Hurry up and cultivate. As long as you're strong enough, these things are nothing. What peerless Red-clothed Demon Immortal? If she dares to cause me trouble in the future, I'll make sure she pays! As for those great demons, if they don't obey, I, the Ancestor Wang, guarantee to smash them to pieces, or I'll just suppress them and make them pull carts and millstones!"

Qing Mu was speechless. Old Wang had drifted up into the atmosphere!

After his grand pronouncements, Wang Xuan paused for a moment, tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, "The situation is too complicated, and the future is indescribable."

He looked at Old Chen and said, "Help me check the records about ancient ascension to immortality and see if there is any description of the 'Old Covenant Lock True Word'."

Wang Xuan did not hide anything and recounted his experience at the Inner Scenery Realm not long ago.

Old Chen looked solemn, sensing that the problem was quite serious and that he needed to find someone to investigate these matters thoroughly.

Wang Xuan said, "Old Chen, you should book me a boat ticket. I think it's better to set off soon. Also, tell me about the problems with the old Old Arts path. I probably won't be back for a year or two."

Old Chen was speechless. After all that talk, was Ancestor Wang still going to run away? All those grand words were for nothing!

Finally, he nodded and said, "The reason I was reluctant to talk to you about those ancient levels of cultivation before was because I was afraid it would limit your path. I think the Old Arts path in ancient times are very complicated and have some problems. From the time of the Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners to the early Daoism, the methods of cultivation were constantly changing. In addition, they changed again in the middle and later stages of Daoist school. I think there are some scary things in this, and some famous people may have ended up in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's expression immediately changed. He said, "Old Chen, did you discover some problems with the Ascended Ones after starting from this aspect? Can you find some answers in these Old Arts path regarding the things I just mentioned, as well as the traps and dangerous situations that the ancients might set up in the future? Tell me quickly!"

I'd like to ask everyone, do you think Ancestor Wang" or "Cult Leader Wang" sounds better? You can write your answer on the back of your monthly pass and cast it for voting.
