Chapter 392: Sharing Bed For A Millenium
With the bright moon hanging high, Wang Xuan swayed unsteadily as he rapidly descended from the night sky. Along the way, he almost tumbled into the reed-filled lake that was by the house.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong with me? Did something happen to my physical body in the room" Wang Xuan asked. Although he was heavily intoxicated, he was sobered up by the stimulation.
"You're floating for real!" said Zhang Daoling while looking at him. Then without hesitation, he flipped his hand and revealed a bronze mirror. He was about to give him a smack on the head.
Usually, people called him Master Zhang, but not only did this drunkard say he had grown three heads but he also directly called him Old Zhang!
Chirp!
A faint golden glow emanated, and a small banner appeared above Wang Xuan's head, blocking the bronze mirror. The interweaving golden patterns prevented the rusty bronze mirror from pressing down on him. Now, Wang Xuan could activate the Godslaying Banner with just a thought. He had a breakthrough in the Transcendent Sea. For him, this was a qualitative change and it led to a significant increase in his strength.
"Its roaming freely!?" exclaimed Old Zhang with surprise. It had only been two days and two nights, and had even advanced again.
Where did this kid disappear to?
This was somewhat unbelievable. Before this, Zhang Daoling believed he could still grab Wang Xuan by the neck, despite his considerable strength. But now, it was a bit difficult! Moreover, after being attacked, out of instinctive reaction, Wang Xuan manifested an iron spear in his right hand and subconsciously moved to strike Zhang Daoling. This wasn't about seeking revenge. It was a natural response to being attacked. It could also be said that his combat instincts were extremely sharp and powerful. This led to a natural instinct to have offense as defense.
Zhang Daoling looked down at the long and thick iron spear aiming for his abdomen and swiftly dodged it. His face turned slightly grim. Of course, he wouldn't let himself be struck. However, Old Zhang was no longer calm. He hadn't even hit this kid a hundred times yet, but the kid turned around and stood up to him. It was like a little chick transforming from into an eagle that was ready to soar!
"Sorry, Master Zhang, I drank too much," Wang Xuan quickly retracted the banner and iron spear, clasping his hands in apology. He still held great respect for Old Zhang.
"The tenth stage, quite interesting," said Zhang Daoling as he showed a hint of surprise. Those who opened special inner landscapes during their mortal days were indeed willful. They advanced so unreasonably fast!
How long has it been?
He was a little absent-minded. He had slain demons and monsters in his day, obtained various fortunes, and climbed out of piles of corpses. Even during the most abundant era of transcendent materials, he hadn't advanced this quickly.
"I'm certain, he and the person from two thousand seven hundred years ago are of the same kind!" The Patriarch of Hades Blood Sect finally felt certain.
In fact, with him being able to reach this level in such a desolate era, he felt that this kid was even more formidable than the person from back then who had stepped into the realm of transcendence! Wang Xuan descended from the moonlit sky. Although not in a physical state, he still had a weird sensation. He felt his heart pounding fiercely.
Could something have really happened?
"Thump, thump, thump" His spiritual form corresponded to the human body's structure, with his heart beating like a bass drum.
"What do you think will happen?" Old Zhang glanced at him, then sighed, "Young people these days, do they all have such big ambitions? Theyre full of ambition, thinking only about reaching the top, having seats among the immortals!"
"Old Zhang, I'm not I'm just speculating about what happened. Don't say things like that!" Wang Xuan quickly corrected him.
The Patriarch of Hades Blood chuckled and said, "As a male patriarch among the immortals, I believe in us men to strive for the top, we can share joys and sorrows together."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan's heartbeat calmed down. He felt that the Demon Lord, Yan Yan, wouldn't dare to cause trouble. With these two patriarchs here, there shouldn't be any major issues. However, when he approached the window of the room, he felt a surge of anxiety. It seemed like there were two figures on the bed with their heads almost touching.
Have they spent a millennium together to finally share a pillow?!
Nevertheless, there was something peculiar about the room. It was arranged with arrays that obstructed the exploration of his spirit. His perception couldn't fully penetrate, and he had to rely on the banner to break through the barriers.
The Demon Mistress Yan Yan was now charming and seductive. Every smile and frown of hers exuded an intoxicating charm. Her demonic beauty was truly exceptional. Fang Yuzhu intervened straight away, placing a hand on her shoulder. Though she was smiling, the hand exerted immense pressure on the Demon Lord. Wang Xuan was checking his eyes, nose and mouth. He paid no attention to the conversation between her and Zhang Daoling. He was solely concerned with the transformation of his physical body. He continued enhancing his strength, to make it perfect!
However, deep down, he still harbored fear towards the Demon Lord. Though she had shown magnanimity before, it didn't mean she wouldn't seize an opportunity to enter his life soil. Fortunately, Zhang Daoling was present. They balanced each other out despite their hidden intentions.
"Reaching the tenth realm is impressive. You truly deserve to witness my dance," the Demon Lord Yan Yan said with a smile, combing through her hair. Her demeanor was alluring, and truly uninhibited. She dared to say anything without restraint.
Every inch of Wang Xuan's flesh was radiating light. He remained silent and motionless, he was serene as an old monk. He pretended to be unaware in the presence of the extraordinary Demon Lord. The Patriarch of Hades Blood became even more certain that Wang Xuan was someone who had opened an inner landscape during his mortal days!As for the other three, they already knew long ago and were the first to perceive it. In the past, they had all interacted within the inner landscape.
Finally, the ascension of Wang Xuan's flesh and blood came to an end. Just like his spirit, it reached the perfection of the tenth realm, dispelling even the slightest trace of intoxication. He felt distinctly that any flaws from his past journeys had been rectified this time. Having no more regrets, he was now in his peak state. Moreover, upon the return of his spirit, his perception became extraordinarily sensitive. He caught a faint fragrance, it was the scent of Fang Yuzhu? Surprisingly, it pervaded his body!
"This" He frowned again. The Demon Lord was restless. She probably did something.
During this process, Fang Yuzhu had been secretly battling the Demon Lord! Her spirit was suppressing the Demon Lord Yan Yan. With one hand placed on her shoulder, it emitted a faint light. She was unwilling to let her leave.
"Sister, please don't misunderstand, there's really nothing." said Yan Yan.
"Sister, I'm worried about you. After spending so many years together, I don't want to be apart from you. I always feel that when the myth disappears, you'll also disappear and never to be seen again. Are you trying to self-destruct and break through the realm of reality? I'm afraid of losing you. I think you're too distant from the mortal world. Why not settle down, get married, have children, and keep your heart in this world?" Yan Yan continued to say.
"Ohhhh, don't worry, I haven't done anything yet. It's just an idea that I've had!" said Yan Yan.
She then continued, saying, "Sister, cherish the present moment. Myth is just a big dream. We still live in reality. We're just fragments of spirits wandering in the great veil. In fact, the mortal world is the real place. Seize everything in front of you!"
"I've considered it for you. This Wang Xuan is passable!" exclaimed the Demon Lord.
"Sister, getting married and having children gives you something to hold on to. Perhaps then you'll feel that the real world is so beautiful and intimate. Stay here and don't rush to your death. Please don't leave."
Despite her soft and persuasive words, Fang Yuzhu didn't let go. Her eyes gleamed with brilliance that shaped into the shape of runes, she intended to suppress the Demon Lord Yan Yan.
"Anyway, can't I go with you?" The Demon Lord Yan Yan's personality was unpredictable. With one hand on Fang Yuzhu's body and her beautiful chin resting on her shoulder, she asked, "Do you want me to travel with you, or do you want us to live in the mortal world together? Either way works!"
Zhang Daoling, and Wang Xuan all went out. Although they couldn't hear their spiritual transmissions, they felt sparks flying between the two women's eyes and didn't want to be caught in unnecessary trouble. Especially Wang Xuan, as he was also involved. Catching a whiff of the fragrance on his clothes, he immediately wanted to discuss matters with Old Zhang and hurriedly followed him out.
Zhang Daoling glanced at him and said, "You want to discuss some Taoist scriptures with me? Aren't you just at the tenth stage? You're already flying away? Are you learning the secret scriptures to spread them? Then go ask Fang Yuzhu later and study with her."
Old Zhang continued, "Alright, after guarding your physical body for two days and two nights, hurry up and take out that bird egg, fry it up, cook it, and eat it with some celestial liquor. It will be a passable meal."
However, this late night was destined not to be peaceful. A hazy veil emerged. It was approaching the estate with no means of stopping. It brought immense pressure.
"Patriarch Zhang, are you here too? You better leave." Afigure appeared behind the veil. It exuded a faint chaotic aura, and held an ancient flagpole with an imposing aura that seemed to swallow the universe!
Heng Jun had arrived, the first unparalleled powerhouse to obtain the treasure. He wielded the Ascension Banner and was practically invincible now. No one could resist him! Beside him, Zheng Yuantian was covered from head to toe in black armor, even his face was obscured with it!
Wang Xuan's hairs stood on end.
Is this going to turn into a confrontation?
There was going to be a big problem!
However, his eyes gleamed with determination. Who feared whom? If it came to a fight, it might not be certain who would live or die. If necessary, he would expose the treasured Life Essence Furnace. Other than that, he also had four unparalleled masters on his side. He didn't believe they were not able to crush the opponent! Of course, if it came to that point, the Life Essence Furnace would likely be known to all. At his current level, he would probably find it very difficult to hold onto it.
