The Stars Beyond

Chapter 452: Let’s Give Birth To A Transcendent

The Little Fox screamed as it extended its spirit outside the spaceship. It felt as if it were in a dream. This speed was much faster than controlling her own magic treasure. "Am I about to ascend to immortality? As the ancients said, entering the Azure Darkness, refining the body with cosmic winds, gathering the essence of the nine heavens to nourish the body and spirit in preparation for immortality, is actually just entering the universe to gather various exotic energies."

The small warship broke through the atmosphere, it left the secret land and passed by the spaceship base, Brown Star. It did not stop and headed straight towards the wormhole. Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin sat in the spaceship. They were looking at the technological layout everywhere and staring at the profound starry sky on the large screen. They knew they were finally going home. However, they were still unaware of the changes in the New World. Their family members had all left with the fleet and were headed towards the unknown depths of the universe.

"Riding the sword through the sky, breaking through the nine heavens, touring the Yao Pool and Mount Bu Zhou in a day, is that it?" said Transcendent Ma. He found everything novel and wanted to tinker with the spaceship. Wang Xuan quickly stopped it. He didn't want any accidents to happen in deep space.

Qing Mu corrected him, saying, "You're wrong. This is riding the spaceship through the sky and traversing the starry sea. It is much faster than flying swords."

"Grandmaster Qing Mu, thank you for coming to pick us up!" Wu Yin smiled and spoke.

"Don't call me that, I feel embarrassed enough to jump off the ship!" Qing Mu sighed. This title made him feel embarrassed. Now, everyone on the ship was extraordinary, while only he remained an ordinary person.

Even the Little Fox with the slender waist had reached the fourth stage of transcendence! Qing Mu felt confused. What was happening? Everyone around him had transcended, yet he remained ordinary. He vividly remembered when Wu Yin and her uncle Wu Chenglin went to theOld World to invite Chen Yongjie and him to explore the secret land. Now, even this woman had become a transcendent. Qing Mu felt melancholic. How could he bear this situation?

Transcendent Ma leaned in and said, "Becoming transcendent is not that simple. You'll be my personal stable boy in the future. I've requisitioned this ship to use as a stable. I'll help you......"

"Little horse, bring me two more bags of potato chips." The Little Fox said while she sat comfortably there. She was enjoying various unhealthy snacks and savoring the taste immensely.

"Sure thing, sis!" replied Transcendent Ma. He was very diligent.

Qing Mu was about to speak, he wanted to ask Transcendent Ma how to quickly advance into the transcendent realm. However, he realized that this horse's status might not be that high, and he suddenly didn't want to serve a third-stage horse anymore.

Wang Xuan comforted him, saying, "Old Qing, don't worry. Right now, we're laying the foundation for you. The firmer the foundation, the higher the house we'll build in the future. It's like a spring, the tighter it's compressed, the farther it bounces."

The rich aroma of milk tea wafted over as Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin sat together. They were listening to music and selecting movies and TV shows. They had returned to modern urban life. They shed their ancient attire and changed into modern clothing. The two underwent a magnificent transformation. If they returned to the city, they would naturally be a hundred percent urban girls that made passers by turn their heads.

"Wang Xuan, when are you two getting married? My grandfather said that before mythology completely decays, the children born to transcendent beings will be exceptionally healthy and intelligent. They can receive the last baptism of their parents' transcendent blood. If they miss it, they'll never have another chance." The Little Fox asked. Her words were shocking and astonishing. The originally peaceful and tranquil atmosphere was shattered by her, it startled even the two girls who were drinking milk tea and watching TV. This scene left Qing Mu in a daze and secretly felt amazed. Demons were straightforward indeed.

Transcendent Ma nodded and said, "Yeah, if a newborn has blood almost akin to a transcendent, it's just right for them to evolve and grow together with Grandmaster Qing Mu. They’ll be able to step into the transcendent realm together."

Qing Mu opened his mouth, he really wanted to hit this horse.

How could it be so unbearable?

It was comparing him to a child.

There was no doubt that Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin secretly communicated with the Little Fox, shutting her mouth. This was on their way back to modern society, and some things couldn't be said casually. These past couple of days, Zhao Qinghan and Wang Xuan had a relatively close relationship, but there were no overly intimate actions between them. They were more than friends but less than lovers.

"Oh, my favorite show, Perfect World, has accumulated so many episodes, it's truly blissful." Wu Yin said as she put on her headphones and started to enjoy the new plot. This drama, starting from the youth venturing into the wilderness, has been remade many times. Wu Yin really liked the latest version and was immersed in it for a while.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qinghan was watching the drama, Under The Heavens, as well. She also followed the latest episodes with great enthusiasm. She particularly liked the character of the Ruthless Emperor and occasionally exchanged thoughts with Wu Yin.

"Zhao Zhao, accompany me to watch Perfect World."

"No, you come and watch, Under The Heavens, with me."

The two discussed and argued over which show to watch. They were completely different from their usual calm demeanor when handling family and company matters. They were very youthful and carefree in their current state.

Finally, this dispute reached Wang Xuan, who was asked, "Wang Xuan, do you prefer watching Perfect World or Under The Heavens?"

"I love reading Divine Ruin the most!" Wang Xuan responded decisively, then quickly added, "Both are the works of the same person. There's no need for rivalry. If there's really a dispute, we can all team up and confront the author together."

Qing Mu interjected thoughtfully, "Unless the author is a transcendent being, otherwise it's already been a hundred or two hundred years. Where can we find them?"

After the brief dispute, the spaceship returned to silence. Those drinking milk tea continued to do so, those watching dramas continued to watch, while Wang Xuan gazed at the vast expanse of stars through the large screen. This vast universe held too many secrets that were beyond anyone's ability to explore fully. He really wanted to visit those exotic worlds and see for himself. For example, worlds with dragons and wizards, worlds of knights and martial arts saints. Perhaps, when mythology fades away, those worlds close to the transcendent that belonged to low martial realms, would be the best choice for him and many other transcendent beings. But then he shook his head. He was a modern man. Although he had dreams of martial arts in his childhood and was interested in tales of sword immortals. One had to live in reality in the end. Just like this great retreat of the transcendent, the world of myths was just a big dream. Even the immortals were about to wake up. In this era, what meaning would it have for him to seek out those things, to tread on those planets?

"The great universe corrects itself, breaking all dreams, awakening all who are asleep or pretending to be asleep. Am I trying to continue a dream? Will my ultimate pursuit end up being a void illusion?" pondered Wang Xuan. He let his mind wander, his eyes fixed only on the starry sky.

When he snapped out of it, he found Qing Mu studying star maps, the Little Fox munching on various puffed snacks, and the Great Master Horse had turned into a drunkard, sneaking many sips of good wine. Although he rarely smoked on ordinary days, he entered a quiet room and silently lit a cigarette. After retrieving Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin, he lost his life’s direction in the short term.

Regarding the transcendent path, he was bound to continue. But why was there always a sense of premonition that his personal strength would seem so insignificant in the face of the vast universe? Could he succeed in exploring the so-called origin of truth in the future? Why was there a sense of dimness in the future path, an unknown and unpredictable sense of desolation?

The door opened, and Wu Yin walked in. She was wearing a loose white practice suit that still accentuated her good figure. She had a slender waist and straight, long legs, yet the plump areas were never inferior to any acquaintance.

Her long hair naturally draped, her face incredibly delicate and beautiful. She usually smiled somewhat seductively, but there was no smile now. She just glanced at Wang Xuan. She walked straight over, and although she didn't smoke, she took out a cigarette and lit it up. After taking a puff, she choked on it and was coughing uncontrollably. Returning from his reverie, Wang Xuan couldn't help but smile at her appearance. He took the cigarette from her and extinguished it. This reunion was less conversational between Wu Yin and him compared to their parting. Now she was very reserved and she didn't even call him by his nickname, only addressing him by his full name.

"Hey, if I don't initiate a conversation with you, will our communication become so sparse?" Wu Yin spoke while looking down on him.

"I wanted to talk to you, but seeing you engrossed in watching dramas and enjoying the return, I didn't want to disturb you for the time being," Wang Xuan replied.

Wu Yin gave him a disdainful look. "Are you trying to avoid suspicion? Have you and Zhao Zhao encountered any problems?"

"Qinghan has always been calm and rational. We rarely meet, and our interactions are limited. We've always lacked a deeper spark. I can't say what the future holds," Wang Xuan said. He then extinguished the cigarette as he did not like the taste.

Wu Yin glanced at him and said, "You're too rational. Do you think that everything will return to normal after the mythology fades? Won’t there be various possibilities and variables in the future that make the path ahead unclear?"

"I can't say," Wang Xuan shook his head.

"I see you two, sometimes it seems like something's going on, and sometimes it seems like nothing's going on. It feels polite and distant. Won't you take some initiative?" Wu Yin remarked.

"Let it be," replied Wang Xuan.

"I'm a creature of emotion. Thank you for risking your life to save me in the secret land!" Wu Yin said, then stood up and walked over, giving Wang Xuan a very warm and powerful hug, not letting go for a while.

Wang Xuan was surprised. He was sitting there and was unsure where to place his hands. Finally, he gently placed them on her waist and his heart was in turmoil.

"Do you want to say something?" Wu Yin asked.

"I'm almost suffocated by you," he replied. At this moment, all he felt was the softness of her body that enveloped him in a passive state.

Bang!

Wu Yin slammed her snow-white fist on his head. She quickly released him while her face slightly flushed and was feeling warm. She thought that Wang Xuan must be calling her Big Wu in his heart. After calming down a bit, she hastily walked away and went out. As she opened the door, she found Zhao Qinghan standing outside. She has also arrived here.

"There's a smell of smoke, have you been smoking?" Zhao Qinghan asked in surprise.

Wu Yin glanced back and said, "Wang Xuan is smoking. Why don't you go suffocate him?" She turned and walked away, continuing to watch her drama.

Zhao Qinghan felt comfortable and was dressed accordingly. On the spaceship, she wore sportswear and she even tied her hair into a ponytail. It was refreshing and neat. With her beautiful oval face, she looked at the two extinguished cigarettes and then at Wang Xuan.

"You didn't smoke before. What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" asked Qinghan as she sat down. Her manners had become a habit. Even in casual moments, she maintained an elegant posture with her long legs exuding beauty.

Wang Xuan replied, "I've been immersed in cultivation for a long time. I wanted to experience the hustle and bustle of the world by taking a puff of smoke."

"Alarm!" Qing Mu sounded the alarm. They were approaching the wormhole, where the scene was chaotic. There were various bloodstains and spaceship wreckage scattered everywhere. It was a somewhat frightening sight.
