Chapter 440: Journey Of The Ship Mechanic

Wang Xuan left An City and walked on the outskirts road while being lost in thought. He felt like he was out of sync with the times and was walking in the end of the transcendent era. He sensed a hint of chills as the era of myths drew to a close. Currently, he hadn't been affected yet and could still advance through the checkpoints. But he had a feeling that when the transcendent world collapsed, it would probably affect him too. He looked up at the sky that was devoid of stars and the moon. There was only endless darkness that gave a strong sense of oppression.

How serious would the problem be if I was severely impacted one day and my realms had dropped?

"There's no need to hesitate or feel uneasy. Even if the dream of the supernatural in my heart fades away, and the myth forever vanishes, it's nothing serious. Life must go on......" muttered Wang Xuan to himself.

He returned to his residence and handed over the Earthly Immortal Spring, herbs, and treasures that were on him to Qing Mu. He then asked him to check if they could be used. Anything usable should be kept, and whatever wasn't needed should be sold. Though his beliefs remained unshaken, he had to be prepared. Even Huang Ming and Zhou Qinghuang were so down-to-earth, striving to integrate into the mundane world. As a modern person, how could he not immerse himself in the hustle and bustle of the secular world?

"I'll keep an eye out for any good investment opportunities for you," said Qing Mu. He understood his current situation and mood.

Wang Xuan bid farewell to Chen Yongjie as he needed to use the battleship. Initially, he brought back three battleships in total when he returned from the New World. Old Zhong and Zhao Qinghan's father, Zhao Zejun, each gave him a large battleship before entering the depths of space. In an earlier period, he had used the Earthly Immortal Spring to save someone's life and exchanged it for a medium-sized battleship during the confrontation between the creatures on the New World and the Great Veil. After returning to the Old World, he lent them all to the relevant departments because he couldn't afford to maintain them himself. Apart from other expenses, just parking them at the spaceship base and regular maintenance costs burned through a fortune every day.

"Are you crossing the stars to go to the secret land?" asked Chen Yongjie. He instantly understood his purpose, knowing that he was going to pick up Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin.

"

Mmm

, to fulfil the promise I made. I'll bring them back," said Wang Xuan as he nodded. That old fox didn't keep his word so he had to go there himself.

Previously, he hadn't set off because his strength wasn't enough. Based on the existing fragments, that black fox had at least the strength of an Earth Immortal. Because it was very concerned about whether there were still Earth Immortals in the mundane world and it also asked about the master of Longevity when it conversed with people from the Three Stars of Yuhua, Oula, and Heluo. Looking back now, it has hinted at this many times. Over the next few days, Wang Xuan made some necessary preparations. He drank tea with Huang Ming, Kong Yun, Zhou Qinghuang, and others, and learned some information about the secret land through the immortal beings behind the great veil.

"I'll go with you!" exclaimed Chen Yongjie. He had arranged the battleship.

Wang Xuan shook his head, saying, "No need. This trip will take at least a few days, and it could be several months if there are any accidents. You're going to be a father soon so don't mess around. Stay with Sister Guan."

Chen Yongjie really wanted to return to the secret land with him. The two of them had bloodily fought together there before, but he couldn't help but worry about Guan Lin and the baby that was about to be born.

"I'll go with you. Anyway, I'm the deputy head of our Ship Mechanic lineage," Qing Mu spoke up. His understanding of spaceships was at an expert level.

He had actual achievements. He had previously set the number one expert in the New Technique Field, Olesha, to have an accident. He had also bombarded various transcendents in outer space for Wang Xuan. He was precise and ruthless. In the end, Wang Xuan didn't refuse Qing Mu and chose the medium-sized battleship because there were only a few people that were going so there was no need for extravagance.

"Mom, Dad, I'm going on a trip and won't be back for a while. Do you want to go to the New World? I can take you there on the way," he talked to his parents.

There was a brief silence on the other end, then various admonitions came, saying that the world was not peaceful, and wandering around like this might be dangerous. They asked him to be safe. His parents didn't stop him. They just sighed and felt that their son was grown up and uncontrollable. Wang Xuan nodded. He indicated that he would be careful and not provoke trouble actively. He could feel that even his brave parents were a bit worried. This shows that everyone was affected at the turning point of a great era.

"When the Ship Mechanic team sets out, any demons, monsters, evil spirits, and evil beings, who act recklessly, will be killed on sight, and nothing will be able to grow there!" Qing Mu spoke sternly.

This made Wang Xuan smile despite his recent tenseness. Old Qing's mentality was getting younger and younger, it was infecting him. Surprisingly, Qing Mu’s face indeed appeared a bit younger, changing from around forty to thirty-three or thirty-four after he became a top grandmaster. And this was just the appearance. He was even more youthful and vibrant internally.

Whoosh!

A medium-sized battleship streaked across the sky, entered outer space, and headed at extreme speed towards Proxima Centauri b. It was the location of the wormhole outside the Old World.

The Dragon did indeed roam in the dark void outside the Old World, but he couldn't monitor Wang Xuan all the time. The deep space was so vast that even if he was extremely strong, he couldn't know everything, let alone block the route in outer space. In fact, Wang Xuan had long been prepared for battle. He was fully armed, knowing that the Dragon was in outer space. There was nothing to say if he encountered it. He would fight first and talk later.

The battleship sailed away, smoothly passed through the wormhole and emerged from the stargate near the Eighth Star in deep space. This place was close to the New World but still just a transit station. They didn't go to the New World but headed to the region outside the New World's deep space known as the Nineteenth Star which was located in deep space. The wormholes here connected to the cosmic sky where the secret land was located. The wormholes outside the New World were all designated with specific numbers like the Eighth Star, Nineteenth Star, which indicated that there were quite a few cosmic systems connected here! Everything went smoothly as the Ship Mechanic Lineage took the route through the Nineteenth Star. They left the universe where the New World was located and appeared in the vast and boundless deep starry sky.

"Here I am again!" said Wang Xuan while he sat in the control room. He stared at the large screen, impressed by the vastness of the cosmos and the insignificance of the stars. He deeply realized his own insignificance compared to the vast universe. In comparison to the universe, a person's life was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Qing Mu said, "Even if they are Immortals, if they don't travel through wormholes and only fly directly, they won't be able to reach here from the Old World even if they die."

It was his first time coming to such a remote place. He felt like he had left the original universe and entered a realm similar to a parallel universe. In this universe, nothing like the Milky Way could be observed anymore. Those familiar star systems had long disappeared. In fact, when he was at the New World, the Old World was already beyond the range of familiar star maps.

"Adjust the course, target the brown star ahead!" Wang Xuan said. It was a planetary base outside the secret land that could provide supplies.

"This is......" Soon, his expression changed. The brown star was in a mess. The protective shield of the surface base had long been broken and huge claw marks were left.

There were several broken small spacecraft on the surface, and the once densely packed battleships had all departed from here. They had withdrawn. Obviously, this base had been attacked. Although the defenses were breached, the casualties were probably not significant since no large spacecraft were left behind.

Qing Mu said, "It's also possible that after the myth descended into the real world, the tycoons fled to the depths of the starry sky and summoned all the fleets here."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "The energy on our ship is sufficient, and we don't need to land here for supplies in the short term. Let's head straight to the secret land. It's not far now, and it's already visible."

The small and medium-sized battleship traversed the starry sky, and was approaching the transcendent planet called the secret land.
