The Stars Beyond-Chapter 394: Being Broad Minded

Under the moon lit night, the veil looked soft and gentle. Heng Jun frowned. He did not respond immediately because deep down, he felt something was wrong. He felt uneasy.

Was this an illusion? He didn't think so! At this level, there were no weaklings. Their keen instincts that far surpassed ordinary people's imagination allowed them to climb out of mountains of corpses and overcome countless dangers. It made them stand at the peak of the world.

But he couldn't find the reason that made him feel threatened. He didn't think the four top experts could kill him. No longer could stop him as long as he wielded the Ascension Banner. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. After thinking for a while, he had thought of some possibilities. If he intervened at the border of the barrier, could the old covenant still harm him?

"Or, is there a treasure in the mortal world that’s controlled by one of those four?" Heng Jun pondered with astonishment. He couldn’t think of any other possibilities that could threaten him?

He ignored Wang Xuan as he thought that Wang Xuan was unworthy of him. At the same time, he remained silent to conceal the uneasiness in his heart. He was truly shocked by his own speculation.

"The Life Essence Furnace?!" Heng Jun immediately thought of this treasure. There were traces left by all the other treasures but only this furnace was still unseen.

His eyes were deep as he looked at Zhang Daoling. Could it be in this person's hands? For over two thousand years, this master had wandered around demon caves and abysses. Perhaps he had unexpectedly found the Life Essence Furnace. He then looked at the Patriarch of Hades Blood. This demon had nine lives and could roam around various places simultaneously. He had a much wider range of activities than others, making him highly suspicious.

Next, Heng Jun looked at Fang Yuzhu and the Red-clothed Demon Lord Yan Yan. These two women were even more suspicious. They personally ended the ancient glory of a civilization and had terrifying fortunes! He pondered alone about whether anyone could survive the dark winter that was after the end of this mythical civilization. If so, there must be someone here on the list.

For a moment, Heng Jun regarded everyone as a potential threat. He scanned the four top experts, but he simply ignored Wang Xuan as he felt that speaking too much with him would harm his status.

"For three thousand years, we have struggled and for five thousand years, we have stayed silent. Today, we have arrived here against all odds. Looking back, how many of our contemporaries perished along the way? We are fortunate to stand at the pinnacle among the immortals, overlooking the scenery of the world. I, Heng Jun, am honored to have shared the rise and fall of this mythical civilization with you all. It’s an honor to witness its conclusion. There is less than a year left, and I hope that in this final period, none of us will perish due to internal strife." fre ewebno vel.com

Heng Jun spoke with a solemn tone, then added, "This time, I'll let it go. I'll give face to my four friends here. I advise Brother Zheng not to act. But I hope there won't be a next time. I hope you all will consider this carefully, and may we refrain from raising arms against each other."

Initially, Wang Xuan was ready to make his move. His gaze shone brightly, and it might appear fierce to some people. Part of his soul light sank into the earth, and he had already lifted the lid of the furnace. He was prepared to unleash hell upon Zheng Yuantian as soon as he emerged. Zhang Daoling felt somewhat surprised as Heng Jun had actually conceded and abandoned his earlier dominance. He was showing considerable magnanimity.

The Patriarch of Hades Blood immediately smiled and said, "Brother Heng Jun shows great magnanimity. He is unwilling to shed blood between the two realms. I deeply admire him. As a supreme powerhouse, it is only right to do so. I also hope Brother Zheng will let go of his obsession soon."

"Heng Jun, are you going to intervene next time? I hope you won't meddle in this again," Fang Yuzhu calmly interjected as she was not appreciative of Heng Jun's temporary retreat.

As a transcendent figure who had experienced the supreme transformation and rebirth in the spirit realm, she had vaguely sensed that Heng Jun was not displaying what could be called magnanimity or broad-mindedness, but rather, he was being cautious!

"Yeah, let's not drag things out. Let's resolve the issue today and not bother with it again next time," the red-clothed Demon Lord Yan Yan said with a faint smile.

Zhang Daoling also spoke up, “Brother Heng Jun, you don't need to get caught up in this situation. I just looked at the star signs, and if a conflict were to arise, it wouldn't be good for anyone. There would be rivers of blood that were from the blood supreme powerhouses."

Heng Jun remained calm. He didn't believe that the four top experts would always stand guard over Wang Xuan. They could just cut through the curtain and send Zheng Yuantian over to resolve the issue with a young man from the mortal realm when they weren't present. Therefore, he remained noncommittal and calmly looked at the others. He advised Zheng Yuantian to not initiate a conflict today.

At this moment, Zheng Yuantian also sensed something unusual. At his level, his divine perception was naturally astonishingly keen. He nodded and said, "What does my personal honor or disgrace matter? I simply think that he has shown disrespect and has been blaspheming towards the immortals. That’s why he should be punished. If the supernatural collapses when we enter the mortal realm in the future, he will most likely exploit various mortal rules to massacre the immortals. However, since Brother Heng Jun has spoken, I will comply this time."

Wang Xuan looked at him with his side eyes. He felt disgusted inside. He didn't bother hiding it and gave Zheng Yuantian a disdainful look. Although Zheng Yuantian was clearly eyeing his physical body, he still shamelessly presented himself as a paragon of virtue and integrity. If Wang Xuan had supreme power, he would use it to ensure that he struck him down with a single blow! Zheng Yuantian glanced at him indifferently and ignored him completely. He displayed an attitude that made people feel like they were the bugs beneath his feet.

"Unfortunately, I didn't manage to kill old Zheng this time," Wang Xuan sighed openly and frankly. His expression and tone were not much better than when Zheng Yuantian looked at him.

Zhang Daoling, Patriarch of Hades Blood, and Yan Yan were all quite speechless. They thought to themselves, "What are you talking about? Aren't you satisfied?"

There were naturally many followers and disciples behind the two supreme powerhouses within the great veil. They were all wearing unfriendly expressions and had chilling glints in their eyes.

"The actions of the supreme powerhouses are crucial to the stability of both realms and cannot be rashly interfered with. Since that's the case, why don't we try to solve the problem today?" someone among the immortals spoke up.

Another immediately agreed, "Makes sense. Today, the supreme powerhouses are unwilling to engage with him but he still refuses to yield and speaks arrogantly. Because of this, I'm willing to go down to the mortal realm to see if the young man there is truly remarkable, or if he's just a madman."

With their unanimous agreement, they intended to act on behalf of Zheng Yuantian to capture and kill Wang Xuan. Although Wang Xuan didn't particularly like them, he still nodded in the end while looking somewhat reluctant. He didn't have any other intentions. He just wanted to chop them to death! Today, since they had come to his doorstep with such threats, and since he couldn't deal with Heng Jun or kill Zheng Yuantian, then he would slaughter all the troublemakers. Someone stepped forward, paid respects to Zheng Yuantian and requested permission to enter the mortal realm. Zheng Yuantian nodded, then looked at Heng Jun. Heng Jun didn't say anything and with a slash of his Ascension Banner, a seam appeared in the curtain, and two streams of light burst out instantly.

"Disciples directly descended from the ancient true immortals!"

Some people recognized their identities and knew they were much stronger than ordinary immortals. However, after entering the mortal realm, their strength plummeted, and was suppressed by the limitations of the mortal world. The two of them were indeed astonishing. They were maintaining their strength at the second level of the Transcendence realm!

"Heh, it's all thanks to the Ascension Banner. Its aura could resist the limitations of the mortal world when dispersed at a close range,” Old Zhang spoke up.

Wang Xuan stepped back. Why should I give them a chance to confront him in front of the great veil? Indeed, as the two approached and moved away from there, their realms began to decline. Their cultivation was slipping towards the first level, and if they continued forward, it would be very unstable. At the next moment, Wang Xuan also moved. He didn't want to waste time with them. He just wanted to kill them forcefully. Since they already knew he had the Godslaying Banner, he didn't need to hide it anymore.

At this moment, the palm-sized small banner swayed in the wind. It quickly swelled up and transformed into a fluttering large banner which he held in his hands. With a loud bang, it slashed forward directly. With a loud bang, one person was struck by the banner’s surface and was instantly shattered, disappearing just like that. The other person avoided the surface of the banner, but failed to dodge the golden patterns that spread out from the surface of the banner. With a sound, his spirit light dispersed and his spiritual consciousness was severed. He had also died instantly.

"Is that all?" Wang Xuan sneered.

"Tenth-stage!" Zheng Yuantian spoke, feeling surprised. The speed at which this target was growing was truly astonishing. He had actually entered the rare tenth-stage.

He waved his hand, signaling those around him to be quiet and not to take any more risks.

His expression remained calm, without anger. In fact, he was more expectant. He had deliberately encouraged people to take action just now, so that he could see the true capabilities of Wang Xuan now, and the results were pleasing. Extraordinary individuals who could break through at such a speed were beyond the norm. He was satisfied and patiently waited for the next opportunity to personally take down Wang Xuan!

Many Transcendents within the great veil couldn't calm down. Those two individuals were indeed not weak. They died as soon as they went out. What kind of absurd era was this? A little devil in the mortal realm could kill them with just one glance.

"Thanks, my brother," Zheng Yuantian said.

At the next moment, the great veil disappeared with a swish, and everyone vanished. Under the night sky, tranquility returned, as if nothing had happened.

"What are your thoughts?" Zhang Daoling looked at Wang Xuan, smiling as he held up the broken bronze mirror, which reflected nothing but Wang Xuan's figure.

Wang Xuan suddenly felt the urge to spar with Zhang Daoling, but after some consideration, he held back. He estimated that he still couldn't win!

This Old Zhang was peeking at him with the broken bronze mirror and he was even doing it right in front of him. He must have done it even more when he had nothing to do!

Zhang Daoling was somewhat suspicious. He felt that this kid still had secrets on him. So, he leaned closer and repeatedly used the mirror to check, but he found nothing.

"It’s nothing. I’m bullied right at the doorstep, I’m too miserable. I've never been so aggrieved in my life!" Wang Xuan sighed in response.

"Are you trying to act cute?!" said Old Zhang as couldn't bear it anymore. Wang Xuan had sent Zheng Yuantian back empty-handed, and he had killed two people right in front of him, yet he still thinks he’s the victim.

"Zhang Daoling, what kind of language are you using?" Wang Xuan corrected him.

"That's enough, you haven't suffered any losses," said Yan Yan while she glanced at him.

"I'm worried about the future. They can cut through the veil at any time. What if you're not around? Won't I die miserably?" Wang Xuan sighed.

That was the truth. If it weren't for people like Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, and others by his side. Even with the Life Essence Furnace in hand, he would definitely be killed and lose the Treasure. All four of them had considerable backgrounds and couldn't always accompany him. These high-level experts hadn't fallen to the point of becoming bodyguards for others. Fang Yuzhu nodded and her delicate eyebrows slightly raised. She had a pensive expression on her stunning face as she said, "I'll give you three immortal lights. You can activate them at any time. Each of them are equivalent to my full force strike."

"Sister Fang!" shouted Wang Xuan in excitement as he was truly grateful. Just hearing that name was extraordinary. Fang Yuzhu's full force strike was incredibly astonishing. If unleashed within the great veil, it could probably kill an entire battlefield of immortals!

"I see you’ve been secretly calling her Sister Fang for a long time. Is there anything else you're hiding from us?" Yan Yan spoke with her eyes darting around. There was a hint of allure and seduction in her gaze.

Fang Yuzhu glared at her, then looked at her with a slight smile, saying, "You made a mistake not long ago, so you should also give him three divine symbols."

"Sister, are you really going to pull me into this? Okay, I'll let you. I've always said I want to be with you no matter what." The red-clothed Demon Lord smiled charmingly. She was full of radiance when she teased the female Taoist.

"Thanks, Sister Yan!" thanked Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan was filled with energy regardless of him getting a gift from Yan Yan. Putting aside whether the red-clothed Demon Lord would cause trouble, he had some so-called ideas in mind. It was a big plan.

"Is this really fine? I really can't stand it," said Zhang Daoling as he listened to the name that Wang Xuan was calling out. He really didn't know what to say.

Even the Ancestor of the Patriarch of Hades Blood was speechless.

"Brother Zhang!" shouted Wang Xuan as he approached him enthusiastically. He greeted him warmly. His eyes were shining when he looked at Zhang Daoling as he wanted to borrow his skills again.

His own spirit could cross realms and enter the great veil without risk. In that case, if he possessed transcendent methods, could he quietly go and smash someone to death? Turn passivity into initiative!
