Chapter 237: The Immortal Supports My Crown, I Bind My Hair to Receive Longevity

Zhang Xuan stood between heaven and earth, never imagining that his minor actions would stir up such a massive disturbance.

However, even if he had known, he would not have cared.

In the Beidou World, one still needs to mind their image a little and not act recklessly.

But in this world, there is basically no one who can stop him; with his strength at the Sixth Heaven of the Saint realm, he can walk anywhere in heaven or on earth.

Even if the top Divine Generals of the Heavenly Realm were to contend with him, they would not be his match; his combat power ceiling has already exceeded the limits of this world.

Even if he were to encounter the true ceiling of combat power in the Xianjian World, that so-called Evil Sword Immortal, it would be of no use against him.

"Running wild in such a world is the only thing that can make one feel truly joyful from the bottom of their heart."

Zhang Xuan sighed and, in a single step, arrived at the lake where the Water Beast was sealed.

Above the lake, a stone statue stood silently; it was a descendant of Nuwa and also the mother of Zhao Ling'er.

Arriving here with such a great commotion, an earth-shattering event, there should have been absolutely no one here, but to Zhang Xuan's surprise, there was actually a person standing here.

A bearded Aquaman... oh, no, it was the Moon Worship Sect Leader.

The Moon Worship Sect Leader, who in this Immortal Xia world is single-mindedly climbing the tree of technology and has even realized fundamental truths such as the sky being round and the earth square.

He is also the top figure in this world and the lifelong enemy of Li Xiaoyao.

In this world, perhaps only the Sword Saint on Mount Shu could firmly suppress the Moon Worship Sect Leader.

No other character would be a match for this figure from the small state of Nanzhao.

Of course, now there is one more person in this world who can firmly suppress this figure.

Zhang Xuan did not have any peculiar thoughts about the Moon Worship Sect Leader; rather, he had some different ideas about such a person who is single-mindedly climbing the technology tree.

"If he could stand with Luo Ji, he would definitely be greatly appreciated by Luo Ji; those materials that are as common as dirt in the Chat Group would probably make this Moon Worship Sect Leader incredibly excited."

A figure like the Moon Worship Sect Leader should not have appeared in an Immortal Xia world; he should have been in a technological world.

If he had such talent and aptitude in a truly technological world, he might have become a top scientist, a figure like Einstein.

"Pity, he was born in the wrong world."

"But this will also make the world more interesting and more fun, won't it?"

Zhang Xuan saw the Moon Worship Sect Leader, but he didn't pay much attention; he just glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze, staring at the Water Beast on the water's surface.

Zhang Xuan wanted to ignore this existence, but this existence had no intention of ignoring Zhang Xuan at all.

His gaze was fixed firmly on Zhang Xuan, completely unable to comprehend.

"What kind of technique can cross such a long distance in one step? What exactly is that golden Tongtian path? Even in the Central Plains, there shouldn't be such a powerful figure!"

Zhang Xuan didn't even pay him any mind; he simply raised his hand.

The Water Beast, which had been hiding at the bottom of the water and was still alive, was directly pulled out by Zhang Xuan by force.

Then, the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal swallowed the sky, and in one gulp, the Water Beast was fixed within the Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal; a black hole appeared, and endless Origin was extracted from the Water Beast's body.

Heaven and earth seemed to stand still; the Water Beast's screams were earth-shattering, and especially with the Moon Worship Sect Leader right before his eyes, the Water Beast's screams were so miserable, as if it were crying out in front of its husband.

It was a case of "husband watching the crime."

Unfortunately, the Moon Worship Sect Leader remained completely indifferent; instead, he silently stepped back, staring at the black hole emerging in the void, his eyes filled with a look of infatuation.

He stared fixedly, as if it contained the infinite Great Dao of heaven and earth.

Zhang Xuan ignored these trifles; the Water Beast's Origin continuously flowed into his body, adding more luster and increasing the diversity of Zhang Xuan's Origin.

In reality, it had basically no effect on Zhang Xuan; as a top existence born of heaven and earth, the Water Beast's Origin is considered special in the Xianjian World and possesses certain unique properties.

The Essence it contains is also quite substantial, but in Zhang Xuan's hands, it is basically useless, only making him feel closer to the weather and the heaven and earth of the other side, seemingly more harmonious.

Zhang Xuan contemplated it carefully.

"I have gained a certain understanding of the rules related to the water attribute; after all, an existence like the Water Beast seems to have the concept of heaven and earth rules and can coexist with heaven and earth; it is very difficult to die, and it often just won't die."

"Even the descendants of Nuwa, who are stronger than ordinary Immortals, couldn't directly kill the Water Beast and instead had to pay with their lives to seal it..."

Zhang Xuan silently experienced this uniqueness and extraordinariness, and after a while, he discovered a slight anomaly.

The Water Beast's Origin, at least in the eyes of the current Zhang Xuan, does not seem too thick, yet after absorbing it for so long, it still hasn't died and remains on the verge of death.

The Water Beast had already been on the verge of death two quarters of an hour ago, but it just wouldn't die; every little while, wisps of Origin would grow from the Water Beast's body, only to be sucked away by Zhang Xuan again.

"There's something here!"

Zhang Xuan found it very interesting.

The Water Beast is truly like the Fire Qilin in the Wind and Cloud World, a strange beast of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth will continuously replenish the Essence and Origin of this strange beast; once such a beast dies, it will come back to life after a period of time.

It can be said that the most difficult things to deal with in the world are these kinds of monsters; they are like cockroaches—you can't beat them to death, and you can't kill them off completely; they are very annoying.

But now that it has fallen into Zhang Xuan's hands, Zhang Xuan finds it very interesting.

The Origin is never fully swallowed; new Origin is born anytime and anywhere, only to be eaten and merged into Zhang Xuan's body.

Zhang Xuan feels that he has become two parts closer to the situation of the entire heaven and earth.

The Water Beast's initial wails were earth-shattering and very eye-catching, but later on, it became weak, and only after a long time would it let out a short moan.

By now, it couldn't even make a sound in its mouth; it would only twitch on the spot; if it could speak, it would definitely say:

"No more, not a single drop left..."

Unfortunately, it cannot speak, and Zhang Xuan has no intention of respecting this strange beast of heaven and earth; in any case, there are no animal protection laws in the Xianjian World.

"Very interesting; the bonus to comprehension is higher than in the Wind and Cloud World, and the realm and speed of Dao enlightenment will be faster, but it still feels a bit insufficient..."

"It's not that the level of the Xianjian World isn't high enough; the current level is already quite good. It's mainly that in the Xianjian World, there isn't the feeling of a 'Child of Destiny' like in Wind and Cloud; just swallowing one Water Beast is still a bit monotonous..."

Zhang Xuan rubbed his chin: "Should I go find some more strange beasts of heaven and earth to absorb? This world has strange beasts like the Phoenix, after all."

"I've beaten dragons and Qilins to death, but I've never really had a Phoenix; should I go look for one?"

Zhang Xuan rubbed his chin, truly a bit curious and wanting to give it a try.

"However, the Phoenix has inextricable ties with Nuwa and the Heavenly Realm; this world still has the real Nuwa and Fuxi, which are already concepts similar to heaven and earth; going to mess with them now seems a bit excessive..."

"My image in the Chat Group is still quite positive; no one will say anything if I deal with a Water Demon Beast. If I were to kill the descendants of Nuwa or the Nuwa Phoenix, that would be quite troublesome, and my image would collapse."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan dismissed this slightly insane idea from his mind.

He was not a devil, after all, and he did not do just anything.

Striking the Water Demon Beast was fine, but expanding the scope of the attack was going a bit too far.

With these wild thoughts in his mind, Zhang Xuan's gaze fell unintentionally on the Moon Worship Sect Leader, who had retreated another two steps, and he became a little interested again.

"The Moon Worship Sect Leader seems not bad either. Although he is a bit weak, he is at least the ultimate big boss of this world. His talent, comprehension, and intelligence are all top-tier."

"Being born in a small country like Nanzhao and still becoming one of the world's most supreme powerhouses is not inferior to the Sword Saint who possesses the heritage of Mount Shu."

"Oh, perhaps he is a bit worse than the Sword Saint, but he is much more formidable than the Sword Saint's junior brother, the Wine Sword Immortal. He can be considered one of the world's most supreme figures; for someone from a small sect to reach this step is truly remarkable."

"Should I tidy up Moon Worship?"

As the world's most supreme powerhouse, Moon Worship felt his body turn cold and could not help but want to retreat.

Then, he discovered with horror that the entire space had been locked. With his strength, second only to the Sword Saint, he could not even withstand a single glance from that figure and was fixed on the spot on the spot.

Zhang Xuan raised a finger, and Moon Worship, dressed in white robes, was summoned to his side, landing on the surface of the lake that suppressed the Water Demon Beast.

"Speaking of which, you are the master of the Water Demon Beast. How come you don't react at all when you see the Water Demon Beast suffering so much?"

"You are too heartless. A person like you living in this world makes people afraid!"

Moon Worship's expression changed drastically. He had thought the person in front of him would be strong, but he had not expected him to be strong to this extent; it was incomprehensible.

His entire spirit was shaken. He truly could not understand why such a powerful figure could exist in the world, and for a moment, he did not reply.

"Not replying means you are deliberately singing against me, that you have dissatisfaction in your heart..."

A terrifying aura flowed out, and Moon Worship felt as if he were about to split apart—literally split apart.

He could not care about pondering the meaning of life or thinking about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Senior, this is all a misunderstanding. I... I just wanted to study why there is such a powerful divine art that can cross ten million miles in a single step."

"The Water Demon Beast has a relationship with me, but not much of one. It was just a coincidence in my early years that led to a certain connection; I am not its master in the true sense..."

"So Moon Worship is also very good at reading the room and understanding the human heart!"

Zhang Xuan sighed with some emotion. A point of spiritual light bloomed and shone at his fingertip, then retracted again, making Moon Worship break out in a cold sweat.

For the first time, Moon Worship felt his heart beating violently, as if it were about to jump out of his chest. Suddenly, he had the feeling of being human, without that previous coldness.

"So they are all human!"

Zhang Xuan sighed leisurely. In the original Immortal Sword, the Moon Worship Sect Leader was not tainted by the dust of the mortal world, even colder than the Sword Saint on Mount Shu.

Moon Worship did not even care to understand the bond between father and son, believing that there was no such thing as love in the world.

And his ultimate ideal was to have everyone on the entire Earth possess the same wisdom as him, to build an ideal nation.

Unfortunately, his path was completely skewed.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan's thoughts stirred.

He glanced at a small mountain not far away, and it exploded with a boom, forming countless stone slabs of uniform size.

"A person like you can be considered a talent. It would be a pity to kill you directly; after all, you are the only one in the entire world exploring and understanding the truth."

"I don't want to burn a Copernicus in the Eastern Region. Since you have already awakened your wisdom, I will help you broaden this path and point out a direction. As for how you will walk in the future, that depends on yourself."

The Moon Worship Sect Leader was bewildered, but also shocked by Zhang Xuan's earth-shattering Divine Power. A mountain peak had crumbled just from being looked at. Moon Worship believed that he could do this if he tried his best, but to have the crumbled mountain peak break into uniform, appropriate sizes...

And they automatically flew in front of him, with patterns and text rapidly being outlined on them following Zhang Xuan's thoughts and movements.

Zhang Xuan did not use the script of this world, but the script he knew and had learned.

Normally, this would cause a cognitive barrier, and these people would not be able to recognize it at all.

But having reached the Saint Realm, he could inject his spiritual thoughts directly into these words, allowing these people to understand the meaning within the words directly.

Moon Worship could understand it at a glance. The first thing he saw was the movement of celestial bodies and the basic laws of the Universe.

Zhang Xuan even looked up at the starry sky and outlined the nearby star map, and also measured gravity, weight, and related parameters.

This world did indeed have certain differences from the real Earth, with subtle gaps in many places.

But with Zhang Xuan's current strength and realm, he only needed to take a detailed look to measure everything, then bind it into a volume and write it into text.

The Moon Worship Sect Leader was already obsessed with these things. He believed he was the only one in this world who had awakened this unique wisdom.

That was why Moon Worship had thought about turning everyone into wise people later on.

Now, seeing Zhang Xuan write down his achievements so casually, and even advancing a great step further based on his achievements...

And even organizing it into books, sorted out very systematically and in detail, he felt an unprecedented shock. This was even greater than the shock brought to him by Zhang Xuan's power.

Later, he even discovered that his greatest achievement—the so-called sunrise and sunset, the conclusion that the world he lived in was not square and flat, but round—was described casually in Zhang Xuan's book, along with the corresponding principles and the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Moon Worship was sincerely convinced. He knelt before Zhang Xuan and performed the three kowtows and nine bows respectfully.

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance; thank you, Master, for the enlightenment!"

For the people of the world, "The Immortal touches my crown, I tie my hair and receive Chang Sheng" is the most beautiful wish.

And for Moon Worship, the books engraved on these stone slabs in front of him were the greatest harvest brought by the Immortal touching his crown and bringing him enlightenment. This was more shocking than countless Immortal techniques and divine arts.
