"What are you doing?" A round head peeked in from the entrance of the quiet side hall. Xiong Shan showed his face with suspicion.

He was also qualified to enter the central palace, but he was definitely not invited here privately. He saw Kong Xuan make a move and quietly followed him.

Then, he swaggered over, naturally standing next to the Second King of Five Elements Mountain, who was most familiar with him, and immediately widened his eyes.

"Be more reserved. Didn't you see there are people inside? They might be from beyond the world!" Kong Xuan secretly reminded him.

Xiong Shan was taken aback, rubbed his dark circles, and, confirming that he hadn't misread it, secretly replied, "Where? Aren't they a bunch of black and white bamboo shoots? They're the best-growing batch from our ancestors' garden!"

Wang Xuan was already eager to try, ready to charge in, take over the place, and carry away everything he could.

"Are you sure?" he quickly asked secretly.

"Yes, the whole table is covered with Black and White Yin Yang Jade Bamboo Shoot," Xiong Shan replied in secret.

Wang Xuan was suspicious. He had already opened his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, so how could he have misjudged it? The next moment, the Dao-imperialized patterns appeared in his eyes, enhancing his spiritual eye and allowing him to probe further.

He was certain that the scenery he was seeing had not changed.

But he also sensed something subtle.

If your gaze is drawn to one object and you stare at it without moving, that is the object that attracts you the most. This scene will remain unchanged, and all other objects will disappear.

This place is so special that it allows different people to see different views.

Wang Xuan scanned the scene, not lingering over any single object.

In the white mist, the woman held a page of gold paper in her left hand, frowning as she pondered it, while her slender, white right hand held a small, luminous cup as she sipped her drink.

And at that moment, Wang Xuan vaguely saw her outline, which seemed somewhat familiar, but it was quickly obscured by an even thicker Mysterious Mist.

He was surprised and wondered if it resembled someone he had recently met. Unfortunately, he couldn't see clearly; in his fleeting glance, it was slightly blurry, but it seemed very beautiful.

"What did you see?" Wang Xuan asked each of them individually.

Some people ignored him, such as one of the two unfamiliar young men, while others responded.

"A woman is playing the zither, accompanied by singing; it is very beautiful and cleanses the soul." This was Ye Ge's response. He stared at a scripture on the table, which appeared to be a zither score.

He saw a wondrous sight there: someone sitting cross-legged playing a zither, with starlight pouring down from the sky—it was incredibly magical, like a paradise on earth.

"I saw part of the brutal war at the end of the era, a bloody massacre in the darkest part of the Great Universe!" one of the strangers replied.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan saw fine, flowing light appear beside the woman's ears in the white mist behind the veil. These were tangible ripples, seemingly coming from beyond the heavens and entering her ears.

She listened intently, even nodding.

Then, she actually got up, as if to leave. With her movement, the veil became hazy, and the scenery swayed along with it.

Everything in front of me seems to be dissipating.

In particular, the five female immortals who had first attracted Kong Xuan, Lu Renjia, Ye Ge, and the two young men were the first to change, turning into a rain of light and disappearing as if they had never existed.

The scenery in front of me is like a mirage; everything will soon cease to exist.

As the veil and the people and objects inside become hazy and about to dissipate, a faint sound comes from afar.

Those were footsteps in the distance, and people whispering, "The masquerade party is about to start, we can go and select some people to come over."

"I'll go right away."

Wang Xuan and the others heard this and were all astonished. Wasn't that the reason they were lured here?

However, the five female immortals who had led them there had all vanished, and the scenery they had seen was also fading away, as if a secret realm veiled in light gauze was about to disappear.

With a loud bang, at that moment, the group acted decisively without any hesitation, rushing forward together. If they didn't act now, it would be too late.

They plunged into the veil with all their might; perhaps it was a wondrous opportunity, unrelated to a real masquerade party, but it seemed very important.

Xiong Shan, who had originally come along hoping to freeload, was now also radiating Black and White Light and "went berserk," charging forward with all his might.

The elusive scenery, accompanied by a shower of light, seemed to ascend like a feather, about to disappear into the void!

"Bang!"

"Ouch... it hurts so much!" Xiong Shanchong was the fiercest and screamed the most. The black and white light on his body was almost shattered. He was bounced back and fell to the ground, but he left an afterimage and chased after it again.

In fact, the others were also not feeling well, their blood and qi were churning from the shock. However, the nodes they chose were better, as the runes in those places had dimmed and were about to disappear.

The veil blurred, the runes faded, and it was about to merge into the void and disappear. It was because of this that the group rushed in, with Xiong Shan following closely behind.

At this moment, in the hazy void, the woman stood up, holding the golden paper, put down the crystal wine glass, and yawned as if she were stretching.

She turned around with a rather languid air, about to walk away, which made all the scenery even more blurred, about to disappear completely.

The group rushed forward anxiously.

Wang Xuan unleashed his full power, no longer bothering to conceal his strength. His crown chakra glowed, and he resembled an Imperial Daoized texture, piercing through the void and shooting forward.

He finally caught up with the tail, approached the woman, and entered the relatively clear scene, instantly creating an opportunity for the others as well, causing this special space to pause for a moment.

Then, Lu Renjia also erupted, and the others were also engulfed in flames, unleashing their full power.

Wang Xuan's body was blocked by blurry patterns, his flesh was squeezed and made a creaking sound. His skull glowed, and with a forceful slam, he broke through the barrier and flew towards the woman. He grabbed the golden paper, his eyes shining with runes as he stared at the scriptures on it.

He didn't even care about the speed at which his body was moving forward; he was propelled forward by inertia and crashed into the woman.

A delicate hand blocked him, pressing down on his head. Wang Xuan became alert, gripping the gold paper tightly, and quickly turned his head to resist with his hand.

"Stop hitting it, the scenery is unstable!" someone shouted.

Everyone else was a bit confused.

At this moment, they all saw the woman in the white mist, and Kong Xuan actually started fighting with her.

Moreover, what kind of crude move was that, charging headfirst into something like that?

Judging from his posture, he wasn't just trying to snatch the gold paper, was he? It looked like he was going to grab someone and carry the woman away too. He was so fierce that even Xiong Shan was dumbfounded!

Wang Xuan felt a powerful threat. The hazy woman's simple attack brought him a terrifying force like Mount Tai pressing down on him, making him feel suffocated.

Right now, he had no intention of carrying anyone; he was just trying his best to maneuver around them. So, he even used wrestling techniques, doing whatever was suitable to restrict his opponent.

At the same time, he was relieved that the woman had a problem; her body was becoming blurry and showing signs of dissipating, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stop her.

This deeply shocked him; it was the first time he had ever experienced such immense pressure, and he felt very passive.

During this process, he quickly looked at the golden paper, trying to memorize the densely packed small characters. However, he didn't recognize any of them. Fortunately, there was Spirit Imprint emanating from it, which allowed him to understand its meaning. He tried his best to capture it and memorize it.

He realized that this was not the other party's true form, but merely an avatar that was in the process of dissipating.

Otherwise, he would most likely have been sent flying or even exploded the moment the other party waved his long sleeves.

At the last moment, Wang Xuan saw that stunning face. It was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, and it felt increasingly familiar. Who did it resemble? Instantly, a name flashed through his mind— Li Lin, an extraordinary person!

I unintentionally caught this strange person in the Mysterious Sea using Karma Fishing Rod. It's better not to talk about it; it could easily lead to trouble. Last time, in the Bronze Giant Palace, Li Lin came out of her private room and had a brief conversation with Wang Xuan.

Is this an incarnation of the extraordinary Li Lin?

The other person's face blurred and indistinct, then began to look at him. Wang Xuan realized that he was still holding onto the other person's hand, trying to snatch the page of gold paper.

It's not his fault. It was agreed beforehand that he could take the person away once he made contact with them. Why hasn't the other party let go yet?

In a sense, he even came into contact with people. If we follow the original plan, could he have carried the people away as well?

Li Lin glanced at him, still clutching a portion of the gold paper in her hand, showing no intention of letting go.

His true form was ultimately an extraordinary person, and Wang Xuan eventually released him consciously. In any case, he had memorized the scripture. Accompanied by the rain of light, the Dao Body blurred and disappeared into the void.

Behind them, the others were frantically examining the bones, musical scores, and other items, creating a chaotic scene. Wang Xuan didn't have time to think much about it and turned back to grab the items.

In the end, everything disappeared. The group stood in the huge side hall, feeling that the trip had been worthwhile. They had Purple Mansion Peach, Black and White Yin Yang Jade Bamboo Shoot, Real Wine, and Years Fruit in their hands.

Most importantly, although they did not obtain the scriptures or rare bones, they all stared at them carefully and observed them to the best of their ability, and each gained something.

It's so empty here, there's nothing left. The scenery feels like a dream, and the experience just now feels ethereal, like a fantasy.

"Brother, you're really something! You're incredibly brave, you almost carried the whole thing back!" Xiong Shan came over, grinning from ear to ear, holding two Yin-Yang Jade Bamboo Shoots and a Years Fruit in his arms.

The others also looked at Wang Xuan. This guy is too bold!

"The opponent is too strong. I can only passively resist and go all out, otherwise I will suffer a great loss!" Wang Xuan said.

Ye Ge and the two unfamiliar young men both showed strange expressions, simply unable to believe it. They clearly saw this guy about to carry someone; it was too wild!

Wang Xuan reflected that his main concern was to ensure that he had firmly memorized all the scriptures on the page of gold paper he had seen, and that he would not forget them or have any problems with them.

He inevitably recalled his earlier experience—had he almost thrown the woman over his shoulder? It seemed he couldn't pull her off at all, and he hadn't succeeded.

He immediately broke out in a sweat. This gave the impression that he was about to carry the woman away. He didn't know what Li Lin was thinking, or whether she would hold him accountable.

He also thought that he had initially used his Iron Head Skill to break through the void and get closer to her, so he probably hadn't hit her. He started sweating even more.

But he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He had agreed to let the contact go, but the avatar that was about to dissipate refused to let go.

"It wasn't my fault. If we're really going to argue about it, even people should be..." He shut up to avoid being overheard, as the consequences might not be pleasant.

"What's that sound?" A commotion came from afar; the earlier conversations reappeared, and someone was approaching.

Wang Xuan and the others turned around and saw that the side hall was very large. Although it was not as flat as the main hall, which resembled a vast plain, it was definitely a small Cave Mansion.

Especially ahead, there are wisps of smoke rising from the spiritual pool, divine lotuses growing, and wisps of white mist obscuring the scenery further away.

Whoosh whoosh!

The group left the place instantly and returned to the giant palace. They all realized that something was wrong. The real masked social gathering had not yet begun, and what had just happened was merely a stroke of luck.

Xiong Shan patted Wang Xuan's shoulder with his chubby bear paw, leaned his big head over, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what did that woman look like that made you so reckless as to rush up and grab her? Was she some kind of unparalleled Heaven and Earth?"

Even though it was a telepathic communication, Wang Xuan still tried to reach out and cover his mouth, saying, "Shut up. This might involve supernatural beings. Do you have a death wish?"

"Hiss!" At this moment, the number one young expert of the Black and White Bear Clan had even bigger dark circles under his eyes, which twitched uncontrollably. He looked shocked, and then full of admiration, which seemed to be genuine.

After being shocked, Xiong Shan sighed, "Brother, I seriously underestimated you before. You are a great man among us, a towering figure to be admired and a model to follow!"

Wang Xuan finally understood why the Goddess of the Black Night had beaten him up; this panda was just too unusual!

"See you later!" He quickly walked away, knowing that talking to this national treasure for too long could easily lead to trouble.

Ahead of this area, there were more people. That was the area where the Super Peerless resided. Some of them had been invited in, including Elder Qingkong.

Of course, he was focused on another person, a short old man, Chen Gu, the extraordinary one from the Bronze Arena.

Chen Gu, with his keen senses, turned around, smiled, and walked straight over; the others were unaware of his identity.

"You're close to breaking through the limit four times, right? Want to give it a try?" Chen Gu asked with a smile, then secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "While top-tier limit breakers who have broken through three times can catch the eye of some people outside the world, only those Four-time Limit Breaker can be truly valued."

Wang Xuan was modest and chatted with him for a few minutes. Finally, he couldn't help but mention the extraordinary person Li Lin.

Chen Gu's expression was extremely solemn as he said, "Her condition is unusual, and the power behind her is unfathomable!"

Wang Xuan was astonished, which made the powerful superhuman realize that the situation was deep and the background was terrifying, most likely involving True Saint was beyond the world!

"Isn't there a rumor in the Star Sea that there are doubts about whether that lineage actually possesses such beings?" Wang Xuan asked, referring to the matter without directly mentioning it.

Chen Gu made a gesture with his hand, and the scenery became blurred. Then, white mist swirled around them, and they appeared in a strange space, which was similar to the place where Wang Xuan had used his Iron Head Skill to clear a path and snatch the golden paper earlier.

A jade table, two futons, a pot of fine wine, and two wine cups. Chen Gu gestured for him to sit down, as there were some things he dared not even discuss outside.

Wang Xuan quickly went to pour the wine, and sure enough, it was Returning Yang Wine Sap. He then joined in and drank some.

"Six months ago, the Primordial Mothership, which was among the top ten prohibited items, issued a warning to the outside world when it was sailing in the star field where Moon Sacred Lake is located, saying that Moon Sacred Lake was emitting extremely abnormal and dangerous fluctuations."

Chen Gu drank a glass of wine and said seriously, clearly offering a few words of advice because Wang Xuan's parents were both extraordinary individuals.

Wang Xuan then revealed a look of shock.

Although he was quite unsettled, it wasn't really that bad, because he had heard similar things said by the Mysterious Mobile Phone.

At that time, he caught a rare and Mysterious Mobile Phone fisherman named Li Lin in the Mysterious Sea. His mobile phone gave him a warning, telling him that he either had to cut the line himself or wait for something bad to happen.

In this secluded space, Wang Xuan asked, "Is there a true Christmas born in Moon Sacred Lake?"

"In the last three epochs, no new saints have risen there. However, in the more ancient times, there should have been Supreme Being, but they have been dormant for too long. Many people believe that they died in the bloody battles of the Great Cataclysm. Now it seems that they are still here, and have begun to revive!"

After Chen Gu finished speaking, he broke through the space, and the scenery in reality appeared. He took away the jade table and the futon, Returning Yang Wine Sap.

"In a little while, some reclusive people might appear." Chen Gu went away.

Wang Xuan put away the wine jug and walked forward. Based on his intuition, he felt that the otherworldly people Chen Gu mentioned were not referring to Moon Sacred Lake where Li Lin lived, but rather to another lineage.

He looked up and saw An Jingqi not far away. He felt strange; no matter how he looked at her, she seemed to resemble Li Lin. It was really odd.

He couldn't help but walk over, looking surprised, because An Jingqi and Zhuo Yanran had already finished their original fruit platter, but now fresh fruit had been brought over.

An Jingqi looked at him with a strange expression, as if to say, "Try reaching out again if you dare!"

"I heard there's a social gathering later, are you going?" Wang Xuan sat down, and instead of reaching out to An Jingqi, he picked up a tender slice of Yin-Yang Jade Bamboo Shoot from Zhuo Yanran's fruit plate and popped it into his mouth. It was so natural, like a deer's horn hanging from a tree, leaving no trace.

"Kong Xuan, I have a feeling you might get beaten up!"
