Chapter 432: Her State Of Mind Has Exploded

Chapter 432: Her State Of Mind Has Exploded

Wang Xuan suspected that he would be attacked once the ancient spaceship in the universe that received this information and images returned. He had a feeling that he might be walking into a trap. He decided to forget it and not dwell on it anymore. There was no need to worry about things that hadn't happened yet.

"What is the state of the spirit's light when they enter the passage?" He pondered. He should conduct some experiments.

Should I bring...... an enemy along to test it out?

He believed that it would be too risky to bring his companions along, but bringing enemies wouldn't matter. He could easily dispose of them without any psychological burden. He knew he had to go back in the Ethereal Realm and the meteorite passage. First, he hadn't been able to break through the barrier and he needed to enhance his strength. Second, he felt that this matter was far from over.

"I always thought it was my backyard. How could unpredictable and terrifying events occur here?"

Of course, Wang Xuan didn't rush in immediately. He wanted to take a break, calm his mind, and also look for an enemy to take along. Over the next two days, Wang Xuan spent a lot of time in Huang Ming's tea house. He was eagerly seeking a formidable transcendent opponent in the. Unfortunately, he didn't encounter anyone. There was not even a single opponent. Since the appearance of the New Covenant, all parties had shown great restraint, and there were rarely any troublemakers in the Old World. Especially after Zheng Yuantian died and Heng Jun perished, chaos ensued, and the adversaries who had opposed Wang Xuan earlier had all disappeared without a trace.

"The Old World and the New World are surprisingly peaceful. There are no transcendent beings causing havoc?" Wang Xuan sighed.

"The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing. It's already the modern era. Mythical beings are very particular. Why cause trouble when you know it's futile? In a few months, everyone will start from scratch. We'll all be ordinary mortals. It's just crass if we don't seize the future properly and instead engage in fighting." said Zhou Qinghuang who was a regular at the tea house. Although she knew that Wang Xuan could handle even the White Tiger Maiden, she didn't show excessive deference and remained natural.

This actually made Wang Xuan feel more relaxed. He wouldn't feel comfortable if he made some people fear him due to him being more powerful than before. It wasn’t necessary either.

"Yeah, now the transcendent beings are all seeking their own paths and are busy with business," Cao Qingyu sighed. The enmity he once held against Wang Xuan was long gone.

Wang Xuan nodded and felt somewhat distracted. This group of people adapted quickly. He began to reflect on himself.

If he couldn't continue on the path of the new mythology and returned to being ordinary seven or eight months later, where would he go from there?

Although he had always been confident, thinking that he could make it and carve out a path to preserve the flame of his transcendent at the very least. But he became somewhat shaken after experiencing a journey where reality and illusion were indistinguishable. There were major issues with that path, to the point where he even doubted whether people in ancient times had ventured there and failed in the end.

Was the demonic flower naturally rooted there??

"In fact, I always thought that place was inside my body and was related to my flesh and blood. I thought that reality corresponds to the existence of the real world. But now, it seems that there are various possibilities and there might actually exist a vast and unknown world."

He set aside these thoughts. Overthinking now was useless. He had to find a way to solve the problem, even if it meant traversing the meteorite passage and seeing the truth!

Wang Xuan found out that there were truly no enemies left in the Old World. He muttered to himself, "Am I invincible now?"

At this stage, even Qilian Dao was not acting crazy anymore. He behaved properly and politely when he saw Wang Xuan. Although he didn't call him uncle as he was the son of the Demon Ancestors after all. He realized that the real enemies were now at the Peerless-level. It was fine if they didn't appear but once they did, it would be a matter of life and death for him.

"If I take the mysterious shadow of the transcendent realm to the void, he'll kill me in minutes. I can't handle him for now." muttered Wang Xuan to himself.

"Why are you looking for enemies?" Huang Ming asked him when he personally delivered him the finest immortal tea.

"I have some doubts on my path of cultivation and want to verify it," Wang Xuan replied absentmindedly.

"Ohh, damn!" Everyone present understood immediately. He was trying to get someone killed. No wonder he was seeking out enemies. The consequences wouldn't be good if he’s caught.

That day, this news spread out. The news of Wang Xuan searching all over the world for test subjects to confirm his path of transcendence.

"Everyone, don't provoke him, or you'll definitely be killed by him!" someone said.

In just one day, both the New World and the Old World knew about it. Many transcendent individuals who weren't particularly well-behaved suddenly became kind-hearted and charitable. Even some transcendent individuals ran off to do volunteer work as they felt variously anxious and uneasy because their past records weren't very glorious. They were close to crossing the line so they were now extremely fearful.

Nowadays, who didn't know how formidable Wang the Madman was, and how ruthless he could be? He even killed transcendent disciples without hesitation. Even someone as renowned as Gu Mingxi, a maiden in the Immortal Realm, wasn't spared. He left several bloody holes in her. In the end, Wang Xuan still had some gains. Demon Four arrived and brought him two people. He clearly informed him that they were his enemies.

"They're both disciples of Zheng Yuantian and had sworn to find an opportunity to kill you. I had them brought out of the Immortal Realm through connections," Demon Four said.

Wang Xuan was speechless.

Giving gifts to enemies? And they were enemies arranged to come out from behind the great veil through connections?

He didn't know what to say.

"All right, thank you," he said, not wanting to explain to Demon Four. He thought of him as the spiritual coffin of the Demon Emperor, so he let him continue to misunderstand.

That evening, Wang Xuan set off again. He had Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu arrange various monitoring devices. They cautiously placed it both near and far. This time, Old Chen didn't dare to be present at the scene as he was afraid of being worn out by him. There would be nowhere to cry if that happened, especially since he was going to be a father in a few months. It's better to be safe!

At night, after neatly dealing with the two enemies, Wang Xuan took their half-dead spirits into the Life Soil and set off again.

"Look, he's glowing, and now he's fading away. He’s about to disappear again!" shouted Old Chen. Not only were there various monitoring devices, but Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu were also watching from a distance. Seeing this scene, they found it absurd and bewildering.

"Is he going to exhaust himself? Look, he's being swallowed by the void and he’s really disappearing!" exclaimed Qing Mu. A big living person evaporated like that on the spot and disappeared without a trace. It was extremely eerie, making Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu extremely worried. They were afraid that he might never come back.

"I thought I heard chanting just now. It was faintly discernible, but it disappeared in an instant," Chen Yongjie said while he was half-dazed but he was afraid it might be an illusion. As for Qing Mu, he was completely unaware.

......

......

In the depths of the universe, inside the ancient spaceship, the enchanting face of Demon Lord Yan Yan froze as she felt that strange sensation again. Her spirit light had spread out, dimmed and a portion had dissipated. Her red gown seemed to have encountered a terrible fire again.

"This time you dared to pull my skirt......" said the Demon Lord. She couldn't even bring herself to say the word skirt. Blushing with embarrassment, she continued, "You're finished!"

"He's coming, he's really coming!" The Hades Blood Patriarch was speechless, feeling incredulous.

Who was this?

Wanting to turn him into nothingness again and again.

Old Zhang looked utterly despondent. He wanted to break the seal of the broken bronze mirror, but he restrained himself in the end. There was no need to hurry. Light radiated all over Fang Yuzhu’s body and ripples enveloped her as she sat down to ponder silently.

In the Immortal Realm, a figure covered in a silver robe stood gloomily atop the clouds. He spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion. "There were once people who wanted to overturn reality and illusion, to let the depleted illusionary myths merge into the real world. They were hoping for the dawn of the transcendent eternal night. They wanted to turn it into an eternal day. Unfortunately, they failed miserably. Now there are still people daring to venture into this realm, turning illusion into reality, and reality into illusion."

......

......

Wang Xuan's experimental results were very unsatisfactory. After bringing people in and observing various phenomena, he didn't see any changes or differences in the Life Soil. He experimented in every possible way and found that these two individuals were truly useless. One died in the red mist shortly after entering, and the other was burned alive as soon as they entered the meteorite pit. Wang Xuan began to return shortly after. He returned with basically no gains except for bringing back another fragment of a burnt red gown. His physical form appeared hazy, then clear, and then it appeared in place. Both Chen Yongjie and Qing Mu breathed a sigh of relief as nothing unexpected happened.

"You...... brought back another fragment of a burnt gown?" said Chen Yongjie while he looked at him strangely.

Where did he go? Did he meet the Demon Lord? How was he able to do such a thing and come back alive??

Qing Mu was also speechless with his eyes widened.

Wang Xuan said, "What are you two thinking? I just wanted to see if I could bring back some items to the real world this time. I was just seeking confirmation and answers. I'm testing a certain hypothesis!"

"Okay, don't explain!" replied Old Chen.

That day, deep in the universe, the nearly burned red gown began to recover as the spiritual light of Demon Lord and others returned. Then Demon Lord Yan Yan's state of mind exploded as another piece of her gown was missing!

"Demon Lord, your skirt is torn!" Zhang Daoling reminded her straightaway.

"Let's go out, we must have a fight. I must suppress you!" Demon Lord Yan Yan targeted him. She wanted to vent her anger on Old Zhang. Today, she couldn't bear it anymore but she couldn't find an enemy. This was unprecedented and simply unbearable.

"I don't want to fight." Zhang Daoling directly refused, then said, "I have some speculations about this matter. Let me tell you about it." Fang Yuzhu immediately looked at the mirror in his hand, and the Hades Blood Patriarch also became interested.

"It's related to the Celestial Mirror. Do you know what that treasure is based on? A scripture, a special scripture. I suspect that someone has been practicing this scripture in a mysterious place recently. Combined with other special elements, it had caused the signs of a great disaster to appear."

The mechanical bird flapped its wings and flew over, saying, "Great Hades Blood Patriarch, graceful Maiden Fang, wise and valiant Elder Zhang, and charming Miss Yan Yan, the mothership has received an encrypted message just now."

"Analyze it," the Hades Blood Patriarch said. He felt very satisfied as its master.

"Oh, my goodness, there's pictures that show the evidence. The case is solved, your troubles are over!" The mechanical bird exaggeratedly exclaimed as he boasted there.

......

......

In the Old World, Wang Xuan meditated at night. He was letting both his body and mind be in the most clear state. He was beginning to seriously contemplate this matter. Until now, he hadn't fully figured it out yet.

Old Chen said, "Unfortunately, that ancient spaceship is deep in space. It’s too far away. It will probably take a few days before we receive any news."

"I hope they can clarify things for me." Wang Xuan nodded, then continued his meditation again. His mind was ethereal as he studied the issue of reality and illusion.

"The vast universe corrects itself, the collapse of the transcendent world corresponds to illusory. The reappearance of myths and the continuation of existence, corresponds to reality. Everything transitions between reality and illusion." Wang Xuan pondered. He was gaining new insights.

"In the great veil, illusion stands for reality, while the immortal bones left in the mortal world represent truth. Illusion has once replaced reality and has avoided the Heavenly Five Decay Disease......" His thoughts continued to multiply.

"The Life Soil cannot be found in the human body so it is illusory, but myths begin from the void of the Life Soil. Is it destined to be nothing but an illusion? The real world is true......"

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt something. In this clear state of mind, he could sense the malice outside the endless void, just as he had felt before.

"Hmm, he's back again!" exclaimed Wang Xuan. He noticed that another pair of crimson eyes had opened in the remote distance. It was peering at him with coldness, greed, and possessiveness. It sent chills down his spine. At the same time, in another direction, a divine light appeared, and the shadow of a man and a woman were chanting scriptures.

"Can you protect him for a moment, or for a lifetime?" The crimson eyes spoke in the endless void. Wang Xuan actually heard this malicious voice in his clear state of mind!

"Heh, you can't find me. Right now, I'm in space and I’m constantly changing my position. Don't give me a chance in the future or I will devour both of you!" said the crimson eyes. The blinking of the crimson eyes were extremely uncomfortable, and the words spoken were chilling and cruel. From there, blood-dripping chains extended, and it was approaching Wang Xuan.

Soon after, in the great veil, a golden figure appeared in the darkness. It also peered at Wang Xuan with cold and intimidating eyes. Wang Xuan then sensed a new situation, where two mysterious figures were eyeing him!

"Is the stubborn curse a shackle and cage woven by the light of the spirit? Can I, with my current special state, turn their spirit lights into nothingness and kill them in the meteorite passage. Can I target them specifically?" pondered Wang Xuan as he was eager to try. These two mysterious creatures were too audacious!
