"The Transcendent Immortals entered deep space earlier than modern humans?" Qing Mu also showed a solemn expression. If some clues could be found, then things would be quite complicated.

"It's not impossible." Old Chen looked out the window, wanting to see the moon in the sky, but now the sky was covered with dark clouds, and raindrops were pattering against the window.

"Can the latest Super Battleship shatter Transcendent Immortals?" Wang Xuan asked, increasingly feeling that the ancients were dangerous and had left behind many traps, so he had to make various preparations.

Old Chen said with great certainty, "If we can lock onto it, there's no doubt that the Super Battleship can crush the Transcendent Immortals!"

"With current technology, even Transcendent Immortals can be destroyed?" Qing Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Old Chen pointed out the window, where arcs of electricity occasionally flashed across the rain, and said, "The final step for those who Ascension to Immortality is to undergo a baptism of lightning. The top ancient powerhouses discovered so far have all been defeated by special lightning, which means that even such beings have a limit to their power."

To date, it seems that neither the ascensioners of the pre-Qin period nor the later immortals have been able to overcome that hurdle, their physical bodies all destroyed by a thousand bolts of lightning.

Special cases protected by the Ascension Divine Bamboo are not within the scope of their discussion.

Old Chen continued, "Even if the lightning that descends when Ascension to Immortality is exceptionally dense and powerful, considering the power of modern warships, shattering Transcendent Immortals is still no problem."

Wang Xuan looked up at the night sky. If one day some Old Schemer were to emerge from the trap he had left behind, he would be willing to pilot Super Battleship and unleash a few dazzling "modern cataclysms" to leave them with a lasting impression.

Then he shook his head. Humans are truly complex creatures. Just a while ago he was thinking about tearing apart warships with his bare hands, and now he's thinking about dealing with Transcendent Immortals.

Thinking about it carefully, there is actually no contradiction. If he is forced to confront certain super conglomerates in the future and the conflict is irreconcilable, he can only do his best and may use the ultimate physical techniques from the Old Arts field to fight back.

If they were to encounter an opponent at the Ascension level in the present world, they would naturally take into account the advantages of modern humans and use Super Battleship to fight ancient immortals in the starry sky.

Wang Xuan muttered to himself, "So, everyone, don't mess with Ancestor Wang. I was born in the new era and am proficient in the most powerful cultivation techniques. I have no fear of any enemies, ancient or modern."

Old Chen glanced at him and said, "What I said has a premise: it's based on being able to lock onto the Transcendent Immortals. If you can't grasp their movement trajectory, it will be very troublesome."

Wang Xuan suddenly said, "Old Chen, you can ask the Ghost Monk if we use Super Battleship to destroy their Thousand-Year Ancient Temple, which was moved to New Star the conglomerate, will the bodhisattvas and holy monks there be harmed?"

Old Chen really wanted to know, but did he dare to ask? He figured that if he did, it wouldn't just be a matter of being beaten by the Ghost Monk all night; it would probably be a beating that lasted for years!

"Why don't you go ask?!" Old Chen looked at him with an unfriendly expression, then glanced casually at the Jade Box containing the charred bone fragments.

This topic is getting out of hand; it's getting dangerous if we keep going.

In fact, they were already tempted, wondering if erasing the "traces" left by the immortals in the mortal world could completely eliminate them.

"Let's try destroying that smooth, jade-like bone of the White Tiger Great Demon later," Wang Xuan suggested.

Old Chen asked him, "Do you want to test whether the peerless Red-clothed Demon Immortal can cross the curtain and appear in your dream?"

Wang Xuan's expression froze slightly. He was genuinely wary of that woman; she was incredibly powerful, almost striking from behind the curtain with her white fists.

"Snap!"

Outside the window, a blinding bolt of lightning stretched from the dark clouds all the way into the manor, its immense size instantly illuminating the dark, rainy night as if it were daytime.

Old Chen stood by the window, looking into the distance, and said, "I think something might happen tonight. If there's a violent thunderstorm, hurry up and come!"

He was menacing, but not very worried.

Wang Xuan and Qing Mu remained calm, not believing that anything unexpected would happen.

There's an Old Schemer fox sharpening his knife right in front of me. He's been holding back for a long time, probably eyeing the top figure in the New Arts Domain, wanting to gauge just how strong he really is.

Unfortunately, the other party may not necessarily come back to their Old Earth.

Wang Xuan asked, "Right now, we need to improve our strength as much as possible. If there is another immortal bone in front of us, do you think we should borrow it to enter the Inner Scenery Realm?"

Old Chen and Qing Mu both showed strange expressions. Ever since they entered the Inner Scenery Realm and experienced that novel and intense process of improvement, they... have become addicted.

Just like last time, Old Chen was "educated" by the Female Sword Immortal to the point that he felt like vomiting at the sight of a sword. After coming out, he said he would never enter the Inner Scenery Realm again, but the next day he sent Qing Mu to find Wang Xuan, saying that he would go for "one last time".

Once you've experienced this, it's hard to quit because it boosts your abilities so rapidly.

They now know that there are serious problems in the Inner Scenery Realm, and getting too involved could lead to trouble at any time.

Qing Mu said, "Let's take it easy and try to restrain ourselves."

Old Chen sighed softly, "One must be firm in one's stance."

Wang Xuan nodded, but then added, "If I'm ever pushed to the limit, who cares about anything else? Maybe one day I'll find all the remains of the immortals and Buddhas."

"Don't go to extremes!" Old Chen was startled and said, "Actually, you can try to trigger the Super-Sense state and enter your own Inner Scenery Realm, just like you did at the beginning."

"Are the Inner Scenery Realm also divided into those for others and those for oneself?" Qing Mu asked.

"Well... it's really hard to say." Old Chen frowned, because the Inner Scenery Realm was very mysterious. If they really explored it, it would be hard to say whether the secluded and quiet place was isolated or connected as a whole.

Old Chen said, "Entering the Inner Scenery Realm without relying on the bone fragments left behind by those who have ascended to immortality should be very safe, there shouldn't be any problems."

Wang Xuan acknowledged that his situation was very special, similar to that of a few individuals among the earliest Daoist Master to enter the Inner Scenery Realm. They all relied on their own efforts to reach it, and it was worth trying every means to explore it!

It is indeed difficult. Without being on the verge of death, it is almost impossible to enter this realm. But if you take the risk to try, it is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned. If you do something wrong, you will really... die!

"Is the flow of time in the Inner Scenery Realm the same as in the outside world?" Qing Mu asked, as he had only recently come into contact with it and knew the least about it.

Wang Xuan said, "I am gradually accepting Old Chen's point of view that there is no difference between internal and external time. It is our own mental thinking that exceeds the limit, and the physical body undergoes violent metabolism and rapid changes in telomeres. All of these happen in the shortest possible time, giving us an illusion."

Qing Mu said, "If people knew about Little Wang's situation, I bet a lot of people would be stunned."

Old Chen chuckled and said, "It's foreseeable that some people even think that Wang Xuan is not as good as them if he doesn't have the Inner Scenery Realm, and if they can enter the Inner Scenery Realm, they will definitely... be a complete mess!"

Old Chen said, "That's the thinking of ordinary people. Little do they know, this is Wang Xuan's strongest manifestation. It's like the person with the worst grades looking down on the top student, saying that if you took away their learning talent from them, they would be even stronger."

"Old Chen, it's rare for you to flatter me like that. So, what are you plotting now?!" Wang Xuan looked at him.

"This time there really wasn't one." Old Chen sighed and said, "Even I, Chen Randeng, admire your ability to get into the Inner Scenery Realm on your own."

Wang Xuan didn't believe it at all. He had often been tricked into doing this and had gradually become familiar with his methods. He thought about it and figured it was most likely related to that "Mysterious Contact." Old Chen had been holding it in for a long time and would definitely tell him eventually.

"There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, some of which are quite mysterious, even creepy, yet they make people want to explore them." Old Chen finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.

Wang Xuan ignored his old colleague and was stuffing food into his mouth. He had been given a dream by Female Sword Immortal as dusk fell, and only now was he beginning to enjoy his dinner.

Qing Mu was a good apprentice. While eating dinner, he played along with his master, saying, "With technology so advanced, how many unsolved mysteries can there still be?"

Old Chen wiped the Black Sword in his hand and said, "There are too many. Some things are sealed in the archives of Relevant Departments. If they are leaked, they will cause social panic. Therefore, those top-secret files are buried in dust, and no one dares to touch them easily."

He paused slightly, then continued, "For example, not long ago we were discussing whether Super Battleship could kill Transcendent Immortals. But a top-secret file records an even more extreme incident: the Zhong family, a representative of the New Star super conglomerates, had two Super Battleship swallowed up..."

Wang Xuan's heart pounded wildly. Such a thing existed? He was genuinely intrigued!

"Huh?!" Suddenly, Old Chen's eyes sharpened. He threw away the soft cloth he was using to wipe the Black Sword, stood up, and looked into the rain.

"It's finally here! It didn't disappoint me. A big fish has arrived—no, it might be a super great white shark!" He grabbed the Black Longsword, and his entire demeanor changed, becoming sharp and menacing!

Wang Xuan got up and stared out the window.

Old Chen turned his head to look at him and said, "You'll probably have to make a big splash tonight, get ready for a full-blown battle!"

"No problem!" Wang Xuan nodded.

It was dark outside the window, and the rain was pouring down; this was destined to be an unsettling night.

Many representatives from all sides remained, and the entire estate was dimly lit in the rainy night.

"Old Chen, someone's coming! It can fly!" Wang Xuan was shocked. Was this still a big fish? He wondered if Old Chen, the fisherman, could stop it!

In the rainy night, a person floated, shrouded in a faint glow, silently drifting towards the courtyard, clearly heading towards Old Chen's ward.

Although they hadn't arrived yet, Wang Xuan already felt an overwhelming pressure, as if a mysterious force was expanding and surging towards him, and the person coming was incredibly powerful!
