The Stars Beyond

Chapter 454: Can’t Resist Patting The Bear’s Head

"Was it a coincidence, or are you all part of a drama that was staged for me?" pondered Wang Xuan with an expression that was unusually solemn. On the other side of the boundary, could the people at the murder scene see him?

At this moment, it became quiet as the killer dragged away the body that had stopped crying. The fire pit only had the faint light of embers and wisps of smoke rising. Wang Xuan stood still and pondered silently. They said that the special inner landscape was one of the greatest opportunities and the origin of transcendence. It was a trump card for the ancestors to transcend among myriad beings. But why did he feel uneasy? He turned and left as he did not want to stay at the boundary anymore.

Next, everyone was stealing time. Wang Xuan practiced various scriptures and focused on comprehending several supreme classics. However, when it came to stepping out of the mythological borderland, breaking through the existing theoretical limits, he still had no clue. He found it difficult to take that step. Even though several supreme scriptures were laid out before him, he couldn't make use of them. The twelfth level seemed like it shouldn't exist, it had surpassed the scope of these scriptures.

Finally, he resumed practicing the Golden Cicada Technique, Butterfly Transformation Method, Ants Gazing Dragons Scripture, and Ascension Transmutation Reversion Scripture. He relied heavily on these techniques that could completely transform a person. Because no matter the realm, practicing these special transformative techniques could allow a person to undergo a rebirth. One could achieve an elevation of their life essence. However, mastering such miraculous techniques was difficult, especially since Wang Xuan was simultaneously practicing multiple methods. He was ambitious and aiming for the most astonishing rebirth.

In the inner landscape, people in different states of being felt the passage of time differently. It was difficult to say how many years had passed. Wang Xuan opened his eyes, stood up, and sensed the changes within himself. He felt that several doctrines were merging, and this time, it was highly unlikely to yield results.

He murmured, "I want to see what kind of qualitative change occurs if I undergo metamorphosis. And here, whether there is still trans material floating down after the complete decay of mythology." Time passed in the inner landscape, a low roar from Qing Mu was heard. He trembled with joy as he displayed the Great Vajra Fist which created a vigorous wind.

"I've transcended!" He was incredibly excited. A dream of his life had been realized in the twilight of mythology. He had finally stepped into this realm. Outside, his physical body resonated with his spirit. It was also being nourished by trans material as it underwent changes. He was covered in sweat as the intense metabolism made him damp.

"Uncle has become a big brother!" Little Fox exclaimed, noticing Qing Mu's transformation. Stepping into the realm of the supernatural was a qualitative change, it was an elevation of life. The current Qing Mu seemed to be regressing. He had once envied Wang Xuan's shedding of skin, and now it was his turn. Skin was peeling off his face and it was transforming him into a young man in his late twenties.

"Hey, I'm also at the Four Stages!" exclaimed Transcendent Ma. He shone with golden light and looked extraordinary. He was even rarer than the mythical Celestial Horsen that had golden wings flowing with electricity and a horn emitting intricate and complex lightning patterns.

"You're still a little brother!" said theLittle Fox while she looked down at him and firmly pressed down on Transcendent Ma's head. She had entered the Fifth Stage.

She believed that the smooth and rapid breakthrough this time was related to the matters that were close to the truth in Wang Xuan's inner landscape. They were extremely important for both the spirit and the physical body outside. Zhao Qinghan reached the Fourth Stage. Her talent was indeed very strong. Originally, she practiced old techniques to maintain her figure, but now she has achieved such accomplishments. Wu Yin reached the Second Stage and felt content. She had never thought she could reach this far. Her greatest realization was that her skin became tighter and her figure became even more amazing.

In the inner landscape, half a year passed again. The trans material began to decrease. Wang Xuan knew that it was time to close here. He flew away from this place with them.

"Brother Wang, are you at the Twelfth Stage?" Transcendent Ma asked with great interest. He wanted to know how Wang Xuan felt after breaking through the limits continuously.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "No."

Transcendent Ma exclaimed, "We've all broken through, but the lord of the inner landscape is still stuck. There's no progress at all."

Little Fox looked down on him and said, "Do you know what the Twelfth Stage represents? Throughout history, it's very likely that no one has ever set foot in it. At the very least, my grandfather said he didn't know anyone who had entered such a realm, which is beyond the realm of mythology."

"Is it so powerful?" said Transcendent Ma. He finally realized how unattainable this level was. Currently, it was like an illusory flower that seemed to have never been picked by anyone.

"Beyond mythology, a non-existent realm. Are you pursuing this realm?" asked Goddess Zhao, who was very surprised. Although she practiced for beauty, it didn't mean she didn't value the realm of the supernatural. Once she made up her mind to do something, she wanted to do it to the best of her ability.

"I'll try for now. I won't stick to one path. Since there is still time and hope, I have some ideas and want to continue to verify them." replied Wang Xuan.

"Transcendent is about to disappear. Won't it be....... very difficult for you?" Wu Yin said. She and Zhao Qinghan already knew the future trend. She was also reminding Wang Xuan that continuing like this might lead to nothing in the future. She feared he would feel a sense of loss.

"We need to make some preparations after returning. This is bound to be a big era, with huge waves and enormous changes," Zhao Qinghan also murmured.

"Oh no, the route is strange. Where are we going?" Qing Mu exclaimed, waking up from his sense of accomplishment. He stared at the screen, then at the control room. The flight was very smooth, giving no sense of the ship moving away, but they had already left the wormhole and did not know where they were heading to.

The universe is vast, and no one can explore its end. The scariest thing about traveling in the starry sky is getting lost! Now, they didn't know where they were, nor did they know what was at the end of the road. What's more critical is that the control panel and other things on this spaceship were different from what they had encountered before.

"Come out, doggie!" Wang Xuan suddenly shouted. His finger glowed as he pointed to a spot.

There was a metal statue that resembled a small dog but also a miniature bear. Wang Xuan felt it had spirituality and thought it should be similar to a mechanical bird, belonging to the steward of the spaceship.

"Ouch, weewee!" Sure enough, it opened its eyes and quickly spoke. It looked bewildered.

"If you pretend again, I'll crush you!" shouted Wang Xuan as he grabbed its bear head. He applied a little force and made it howl in pain instantly.

He threatened, "Speak our language. I know you have it in your database. I'll turn you into a smashed watermelon if you keep babbling nonsense."

"Niwala gaga!" It looked innocent as it blinked its big eyes. It was still speaking incomprehensible alien language and even spread out its chubby bear paws.

Bang!

Wang Xuan exerted force, he really smashed its head and crushed it into pieces. There was metal debris scattered all over the ground. The mini bear lay motionless and lifeless.

"Oh my, Brother Wang, you really did it. What do we do now that it's dead?" asked Transcendent Ma as he jumped in shock.

"You killed it by mistake, didn't you?" Qing Mu anxiously rubbed his hands.

"It's fine. It's a mechanical intelligence with transcendent properties. Its body contains active metal, so it can quickly come back to life." said Wang Xuan as he stared at the ground. He continued, "If you pretend to be dead again, I'll use the Samadhi Fire to refine you and use you as material to repair other transcendent treasures."

"Don't, I just zoned out." The metal pieces on the ground turned into liquid and quickly recombined into the shape of the silly bear.

"So cute!" Wu Yin said. The little bear was already speaking human language, and its database included the language of the Old World.

"Little cub, surrender your authority and tell us your origin, or else you'll disappear completely." Wang Xuan said coldly. He was intimidating the little bear and exerting pressure on it.

On the other hand,Zhao Qinghan gently comforted it, saying, "He's a demon cultivator. Don’t lie to him or he will really turn you into his war boots."

"I surrender, I give up!" said the little bear as it surrendered readily. It gave up resisting, then wore a look of resignation and handed over its authority, releasing its mechanical heart.

After Wang Xuan obtained the authority, he also let Qing Mu, Zhao Qinghan, and Wu Yin obtain it. Finally, he patted the little bear's head and said, "Don't be unhappy. You're much more powerful than many other mechanical birds and big dogs I've trained."

"Okay, whatever you say." The little bear acquiesced. It blinked its big eyes and started to act cute.

Snap!

Wang Xuan gave it a tap on the back of its head. He wasn't buying it, mainly because the mechanical bird didn't leave a good impression on him.

"Stop hitting it. Look how cute this little bear is! Others raise baby tigers or pandas, I’ll raise a metallic little bear. It’s so fun!" Wu Yin said with a smile.

"Return to base, head to the new star!" Wang Xuan said.

The little bear shook its head. "We can't go back. We were being pursued before we left. There were a large number of warships near the wormhole that were engaging in a fierce battle. We'll be torn to shreds if we turn back now."

"Where are we going now? You're not trying to deceive us, are you?" Qing Mu asked coldly.

"I've surrendered all my authority. Life and death are in your hands. How dare I? We're heading to a vast battlefield that is crucial for transcendence and crucial for the future. Originally, this spaceship was supposed to go there for interdomain warfare. But our people from the Green Orchid Star were intercepted along the way, and the strongest person on the ship was killed by a Deep Space Specter. We barely managed to escape and coincidentally encountered you blocking our path......" The little bear explained the situation, so they acted preemptively, but unexpectedly, they were counter-killed by Wang Xuan!

"Interdomain warfare?!" exclaimed Wang Xuan with shock. He was very sensitive to these words, and he wouldn't forget his experiences in the Land of the Departed. Old Chen and Xu Fu might have to take the blame for it in the future.

"How far?" he quickly asked.

With a simple appearance, the mechanical little bear informed them, "Very far. We need to leave the realm controlled by this mythology and arrive at the location of a completely new civilization in the distance."

Wang Xuan was tempted to go and see, but there were Zhao Qinghan, Wu Yin, Qing Mu, and others on the spaceship. It wasn't suitable for them to take risks together. It would be better if he could send them back.

"Stop and find a place to hide. Wait until it's quiet at the wormhole, then we'll return." said Wang Xuan.

"We probably can't stop. Warships have appeared behind us. We...... can only escape!" said the little bear. It became anxious as the silver spaceship detected the situation in the distance.

Wang Xuan frowned. "Alright, let’s take cover first. Let’s escape some distance, we'll return after the coast is clear."

The little bear spoke up softly. "It's highly likely we can't evade them. They were already chasing us and were seeking revenge for their companions. The surrounding area belongs to their sphere of influence. Now, we probably can only move forward, cross the wormhole again, and head towards that vast battlefield to seek refuge."

"What did you guys do?" Zhao Qinghan asked.

The little bear felt guilty and said, "After accidentally encountering them, we acted preemptively and destroyed four of their large warships."

Even Transcendent Ma couldn't resist showing his disbelief. Even the Little Fox extended her chubby little paw to touch the bear's head.

Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin were speechless. They had wanted to raise a special metallic pet, but now they felt it would be better to melt it down!

"Select the optimal route and avoid them, hurry!" Qing Mu urged, because the spaceship had already sounded the alarm. It detected the enemy's presence, and was likely to be locked on and attacked.

"Then let's cross the domains first, leave this mythological realm, shake off the enemy, and head to the new universe. I’ll follow the original route to that mysterious battlefield," the little bear confirmed.
