Chapter 445: Return Of Horses To Serve Wang Xuan In The Mortal Realm

Through various clues, Wang Xuan had reasons to suspect the black fox as it had quite a few issues. Moreover, even Fang Yuzhu mentioned that this old fox was hostile to the Immortals the last time he asked her about the secret land.

“Are you asking us to help you achieve your dreams?” the silver-haired man asked with a smile.

“A trivial matter, and you’re still embarrassed? Besides, that old fox might be the giant whale,” said Wang Xuan. He remained composed and took the initiative. He continued, “In that case, I’m helping you achieve your life’s dreams. How will you thank me?”

The black-haired man in the spacesuit was quite surprised and said, “Ha, interesting. It’s the first time someone has sold us dreams. Let’s see if it’s him first.”

The spaceship was very powerful, it was capable of scanning the structure of an entire planet and detecting abnormal sources of trans material. It could also capture powerful life imprints, and so on, all of which were routine operations.

The dog head was very dedicated and quickly got results. It informed a few of the evil spirits individually.

The purple-haired woman spoke up, saying, “It can be considered a very extraordinary fox, with a very high level of life. It’s truly beyond our expectations. However, the overall situation has changed, and now it can only go with the flow. It’s even a bit distant from the Earth Immortals. In terms of mythological levels, it’s probably around the level of the third layer of Wanderer level.”

Wang Xuan was moved. This black fox was somewhat extraordinary.

What era was it now?

With the collapse of the transcendent, Zhang Daoling and the Demon Emperor were estimated to only be able to display this level.

The silver-haired man said, “It’s not a whale; its life aura doesn’t match at all. Besides, it’s not carrying the terrifying forbidden item of this universe either.”

“So, until we meet again!” Several evil spirits were quite straightforward. After losing their target, they decided to leave immediately. They were unwilling to waste any more time.

“Perhaps, we’ll never see each other again. We’re about to embark on an adventure shortly, hoping to truly leave this universe!” said one of them. They had been looking for an opportunity to return home. The cabin door opened, and they made a gesture to show the way out as they watched Wang Xuan leave.

“Is there a possibility that the giant whale is indeed dead, but your senior, your compatriot, may still be alive?” Wang Xuan walked away, but in the process, he was still pondering and making some assumptions. He said, “He replaced the giant whale and became the comprehensive fallen one as he wanted to stay in this universe.” The few were stunned.

Could such a thing be possible?　

“Let’s say, if he had connections with that whale a long time ago, such as in his youth. Or maybe even the special inner landscape was opened by him, and the one who rose rapidly in the Immortal Realm was that evil spirit, not the original whale. Until he came out through the great veil, only then did he return to the identity of the host and release his spirit, which made the host die shortly after……” These words left the evil spirits stunned, but they didn’t find the reverse thinking absurd. The scene fell silent briefly as they confirmed it.

“After reanalyzing and comparing, we haven’t found any residual life traces of that compatriot. Theoretically, he should be dead,” said the woman with short hair. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/velbin(.)com

The silver-haired man was very rational. He said, “Whether the whale broke free or our compatriot jumped out, it means the road ahead will be extremely dangerous. This game should end completely. We can’t continue.” Both of these theoretical assumptions only had a slight possibility, it was almost impossible to achieve. They felt that they should leave no matter which angle they considered it from.

“Goodbye!” Wang Xuan left the spaceship. At this point, it wasn’t very high above the ground, so he leaped down. A silver-gray light shot up, and the spaceship quickly disappeared into the sky, then vanished into the vast universe without a trace.

“Old Qing, keep your distance from me, a few hundred miles apart,” Wang Xuan transmitted.

He moved through the mountains and forests, revisiting familiar places. The mountain scenery remained the same, but the trans material had dried up. Many monsters were moaning, it was a desolate scene. The once bustling place was now deserted, with no one around. The eight great nests of the transcendent creatures surrounding this place had creatures that seemed sick and lethargic. They looked too lazy to move. Although he had been in a sorry state here before, being chased by silkworm snakes, mountain turtles, silver bears, golden birds, and others, he had indeed achieved transcendent breakthroughs in this place.

He didn’t linger, rushing through and arriving near the Earth Immortal City. He searched carefully along the way, but he didn’t see the white peacock.

Wang Xuan was like a ghost, silent and invisible, he crossed the entire secret land. He encountered many transcendent monsters, but they had all degenerated as their realms had fallen compared to before.

“Some creatures may revert to ordinary beasts, which is quite tragic,” he rushed past, disregarding past grievances or whether he had been hunted before, it had all fleeted with the wind. He no longer wanted to keep score.

Hundreds or thousands of years old ancient trees that had vines as thick as water jars all shed their yellowing leaves. The rich vitality gradually dissipated. He even saw an old tree-man sitting on top of a mountain sighing with long legs rooted on the cliff. In this humanoid form, he could retain his wisdom and avoid becoming muddled. For some species, it’s quite pitiful once they fall from the transcendent to the mundane. They would revert to their primitive state which was consuming flesh and blood. They would completely lose their inherent spirituality.

On the vast black mountain, an old wolf howled mournfully at the setting sun. It was a scene of great tragedy. It had degraded from the transcendent stage to the grandmaster stage, only temporarily retaining its spiritual fame. It felt that it would perish among the beasts of the mountains and forests if it continued to descend and fall below the grandmaster stage. An old ape was preaching while surrounded by a group of white-haired monkeys that were sitting on the ground. The atmosphere was oppressive, with some monkeys shedding tears. Some of them could retain their spirituality, but many of their companions would revert to a beastly state. Recently, various spiritual monsters, transcendent species, had been frantically gathering herbs and consuming large quantities of spiritual substances, but what was destined to come would still come.

At night, Wang Xuan entered the core area of the secret land and approached the Immortal Cave where the old fox resided. He didn’t rush in but observed quietly with his spiritual eye. This place was very different, with powerful formations and strands of trans material swirling around. This place had a hidden realm, where remnants of mythology lingered even though trans material were receding. It was like a small immortal realm covering the area, shrouding the mountains and forests.

“It’s like a barrier, delaying the complete dissipation of trans material. It’s indeed quite remarkable.” muttered Wang Xuan to himself.

In the core area, various monsters roamed freely. Some giant birds spread their big wings, which made them look like small clusters of dark clouds. They were still powerful and were almost reaching the wanderer level. There were also flying dragons soaring, roaring loudly, stirring up clouds and mist. It was as if they were venting their frustration and unwillingness. It was obvious that the monsters in the core area must have been very strong initially, but they weakened day by day.

Within the barrier, there were exotic beasts carrying spiritual herbs and distributing them to some monsters in the nearby area. It showed a hint of warmth in this cruel environment. The barrier was vast and had formed its own world inside. Wang Xuan could only see a certain distance and couldn’t completely see through even with his spiritual eyes. There were too many formations and mountains. IThe layer upon layer were obscuring the view.

On the first day, he didn’t take any action. He just quietly observed and studied the situation here. He was not seeing any familiar faces or anomalies at the moment. On the second evening, with fiery clouds filling the sky, there was a flash of golden light within the barrier just like a golden mist passing by. It was…… a majestic horse? Its mane flowed like golden satin that radiated a dazzling light.

“The Grandmaster Horse?!” Wang Xuan felt slightly relieved. There shouldn’t be any major changes here since this creature was still alive and seemed to be in good condition.

“The return of immortals to the Immortal Realm, and the return of horses to serve Wang Xuan in the mortal realm.” pondered Wang Xuan. The horse traversed the sky. It flew through the barrier like lightning, it displayed a martial skill.

What was its name?

Wang Xuan was startled, then wanted to rush in and kill it!

A group of birds of prey flew past, while the golden majestic horse traversed the void. It surpassed the birds in flight and even stepped on their bodies as it passed by. It disappeared, showing that it was frolicking and practicing. It had already become a transcendent creature that was significantly stronger than before.

“The Grandmaster Horse, the flatterer, looking for trouble?!” said Wang Xuan as he stared at the spot. He did not go over, hoping it would appear again, preferably now.

He was wary of the old fox and hoped to have a conversation with the Grandmaster Horse first to understand the situation within the barrier. The Black Fox must have its own story.

Why didn’t it release Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin? Was it just waiting for him to come and fetch them?　

On the third day, Wang Xuan saw the Grandmaster Horse again. This time, it didn’t rush past but walked with elegant steps. It gave off a somewhat sacred aura. It had changed from its previous pure white color to a golden hue all over. Its fur was extremely smooth and soft and it emitted a glossy sheen like a mirror. Its large golden wings flowed with peaceful radiance as if it was untainted by dust. On its forehead, there was a golden horn that was surrounded by lightning runes and had flashes of thunderlight flickering faintly. It had fully evolved and mutated.

Ancient texts recorded this as the Thunderhorn Celestial Horse. Its combat power would be extraordinary if it grew to the later stage. According to mythology, Bodhisattvas and powerful immortals would be delighted to have such a mount. Regardless of its transformation, it was just another creature in Wang Xuan’s eyes. He wouldn’t have much emotional fluctuation even if it turned into a Kirin. The main reason was that the creatures he encountered were all extraordinary. Zhang Daoling could definitely smash a dragon with a broken bronze mirror.

Soon, Wang Xuan saw how capricious the Grandmaster Horse was. It walked gracefully and reservedly while entering the medicinal field on the edge of the barrier. Then, its large wings spread out and swung like giant blades. It was cutting down spiritual herbs as if it was harvesting crops, it was slicing them in swathes. It was very selective. It carefully chose from the spiritual herbs before taking a bite.

“This is a bit too much. The outer world’s trans materials are dwindling, yet you’re still so picky?” muttered Wang Xuan. He stared at it and felt tempted to educate it with a beating on how to be a good horse. Shortly after, he let go of his prejudice after the Grandmaster Horse harvested a patch of spiritual herbs, carried the herbs outside the barrier and distributed them to various spiritual beasts and monsters.

“Young foal!” Wang Xuan secretly transmitted his voice, calling it over. Of course, he also made sure to conceal his true appearance and spiritual aura by enveloping himself in white mist.

The Grandmaster Horse set down the herbs and suddenly raised its head. Its golden eyes widened as it looked in Wang Xuan’s direction. Then, it dashed forward like a galloping horse, rushing towards him with a hoof aimed at Wang Xuan’s face. Veins bulged on Wang Xuan’s forehead. This horse was really too arrogant, it immediately tried to kick him as soon as they met.
