Chapter 1836: Chapter 1855: Return to the Human World
On the other side, Ye Xuan was naturally unaware that his appearance had caused a stir throughout the Primordial Heavenly Court, nor would he have been disturbed even if he knew.
After all, this Primordial World had changed completely, and it mattered little whether he saw a few old acquaintances; what truly mattered was the task at hand.
Now it was the late Eleventh Epoch, and in less than two hundred million years, it would transition into the Twelfth Epoch, which marked the end of the Chaotic Universe.
When the Chaotic Universe reached its end, it would undergo a great destructive reincarnation, and Ye Xuan must achieve the Heavenly Defying Realm before this time arrives.
Primordial World, Extreme North!
A black sphere floated before Ye Xuan, his gaze deep and dark, for this sphere was the Mortal Realm he had condensed.
Countless ages had passed, and Ye Xuan knew not what had become of the Mortal Realm, for he had not returned to this birthplace for a very, very long time.
Had he not predicted the presence of Heaven-shocking Extremists within the Mortal Realm, perhaps Ye Xuan might never return to the Human World.
For within this birthplace, there was nothing left that he longed for.
Open!
With a thought, Ye Xuan caused the black sphere to ripple in the void, transforming into a portal before him, releasing a long-lost scent that washed over him.
This scent was familiar to Ye Xuan, unique to the Mortal Realm’s Red Dust, causing his eyes to appear somewhat dazed as distant memories surged forth.
Phew!
Ye Xuan slowly exhaled, his mind gradually calming. This return to the Human World counted as a revisitation to his homeland, evoking some sentiment in him, though his ultimate goal was to find that Heaven-shocking Extremist.
Finally!
Ye Xuan no longer hesitated, striding into the portal and disappearing from the external world.
...
Mortal Realm!
Calling it a realm was less fitting than simply calling it a water-blue planet. Its size compared to the Chaotic Universe, even against the Primordial World, was but a drop in the ocean.
Buzz!
As Ye Xuan appeared, the overwhelming scent of Red Dust swept towards him, causing him to frown immediately.
Although he had shattered the seal between the Mortal Realm and Primordial World, allowing Spiritual Energy to reappear in the Mortal Realm.
The Spiritual Energy in the Mortal Realm was too sparse, and it truly was a low-dimensional space where reaching the level of an Immortal was the limit.
Rumbling!
Just as Ye Xuan intended to examine the current state of the Mortal Realm, a rumbling sound echoed from the far sky, revealing an airplane emerging from the clouds, brushing past Ye Xuan.
"Airplane?"
As he gazed at the stranger yet familiar object, a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Having left the Mortal Realm so long ago, he had almost forgotten these technological means of transportation.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but wonder, given the endless ages in the Mortal Realm, whether both technologies and cultivation should have undergone a drastic transformation. Why did it seem unchanged from when he left?
With a thought, Ye Xuan projected the entire Mortal Realm into his mind, revealing many familiar sights.
In bustling cities, skyscrapers stood tall, streets buzzed with traffic, and fashionable men and women strolled about.
Ships sailed the seas, airplanes roared in the sky, rendering the whole Mortal Realm with a distinctive feel of technology, giving Ye Xuan a sense of returning to the past.
The most interesting part was that alongside the tech-savvy cities, Ye Xuan saw many cultivators, even those at the Immortal level, preaching in the Spirit Energy-rich mountains.
The coexistence of technology and cultivation was unexpected to Ye Xuan, but it made sense; with the presence of Spiritual Energy, the emergence of cultivators and Immortals was logical.
Chirp!
With a thought, Ye Xuan appeared in a bustling urban district, transforming his attire; his ancient garb vanished, replaced by a chic casual outfit, including his long silver hair styled neatly black, resembling a city youth.
Lest it be said, Ye Xuan at this moment truly resembled his old Mortal Realm self, though endless ages had altered his aura, inevitably drawing mortal gazes despite his return to simplicity.
"Young man, may I ask for the way to your heart?"
It was summer, as three casually dressed young girls giggled up to Ye Xuan, with one dressed slightly in a childish style engaging him playfully.
"This...?"
Ye Xuan stood dumbfounded, unsure of how to respond, clearly having forgotten how to converse with mortals.
"Young man, you’re so handsome, how about adding me on WeChat?" Another youthful and lively girl teased, showing him her phone.
Seeing Ye Xuan dazed, the three girls giggled, with one jesting, "Young man, you already have a girlfriend, that’s why you can’t add me on WeChat?"
This scenario left Ye Xuan bewildered, but fortunately, he had a swift escape technique; in a step, he transformed into a wisp of smoke, disappearing before the three girls.
"Ah!"
The girls jumped in shock, yet with cultivation not being a secret in the Mortal Realm, after initial surprise, they squealed in delight at encountering a cultivator.
Elsewhere.
Ye Xuan appeared on another street, this time daring not to reveal himself, instead concealing in the void, wandering the busy street.
"I hadn’t expected these young girls to be so bold."
Ye Xuan heaved with emotion, this Mortal Realm remained the same, stirring a familiar nostalgia.
Yet Ye Xuan realized something; his return to homeland meant being unable to merge back into this world, feeling out of place.
Perhaps this was the disparity in life levels!
Within half a day, Ye Xuan traversed the entire Mortal Realm, reminiscent of his homeland, revisiting his birthplace.
No lingering, no homesickness, everything fittingly strange and familiar, until completing his journey, his heart finally calmed.
For his purpose in returning was to search for the Heaven-shocking Extremist, the true goal.
...
Azure skies, clouds drifting by.
Ye Xuan sat amid the clouds, his Divine Sense from the Heavenly Defying Realm rippling outward, covering the entire Mortal Realm in search of the Heaven-shocking Extremist’s presence. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan frowned lightly, having sensed no mysterious power, let alone the existence of a Heaven-shocking Extremist.
