Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

”His arrows and Cultivation Technique are a bit strange, unlike those of an ordinary Loose Cultivator,” Nangong Xuan said indifferently, the Nirvana Sword Intent flickering at his fingertips as it enveloped the soul fragment. ”Let’s see where they actually come from; perhaps there will be some unexpected gains.”

Soul Searching and Soul Refining were originally methods of the Demonic Path, which harmed the harmony of heaven. However, Nangong Xuan’s Nirvana Sword Intent was overbearingly exquisite, and since the opponent deserved death, he felt no psychological burden. The Annihilation Power invaded the broken soul, not roughly rummaging through memories, but like the most brilliant dissection, directly peering into the most original information imprint of its soul.

The remnant soul trembled violently, letting out a silent wail, and finally dissipated with a poof. The last bit of valuable information had been completely extracted by Nangong Xuan.

Nangong Xuan closed his eyes, quickly digesting the fragmented but crucial pieces of information, his brows gradually furrowing.

”How is it?” Su Muxue asked with concern.

”As expected, they aren’t simple Wasteland Hunters,” Nangong Xuan opened his eyes, a cold light flickering in them. ”They are low-level members of an organization called ’Shadow Fiend.’ They operate year-round near the main roads leading to the Land of the Far West, engaging in robbery and murder, while also being responsible for monitoring and intercepting specific targets—especially those with unusual ’Golden Qi’ or ’Star Power’ fluctuations.”

”Shadow Fiend? Golden Qi? Star Power?” Hearing this, Zi Linger’s expression changed slightly. ”I think I’ve heard Grandma mention this organization before. It’s said that the ’Jin Jue Sect’ from the west is behind them, and they act extremely covertly and maliciously.”

”Jin Jue Sect?” Nangong Xuan’s gaze narrowed. He had a vague impression of this name; it seemed to be a major Sect in the Land of the Far West, famous for Body Refining and controlling Golden Baleful Qi. Their strength was decent, but their reputation was poor, and they were quite overbearing.

From the one-eyed man’s memory fragments, the orders Shadow Fiend received were to closely monitor all westward-bound Cultivators who might be related to the metal attribute or Stellar Power, specifically looking for several specific items. One of the vague descriptions actually bore some resemblance to the ”sharp metal star key”! Furthermore, the Jin Jue Sect seemed determined to obtain something deep within ”Fallen Star Slope,” and their activities had been frequent recently.

”It seems the path to finding the sharp metal star key won’t be very peaceful. This Jin Jue Sect will likely be our potential opponent,” Nangong Xuan said in a heavy voice.

Just then, the phantom star key in his robes suddenly began to tremble on its own. The light representing the ”sharp metal star key” within it flickered with increased frequency, and that tragic, sharp Concept became even clearer. There was even a faint... sense of summoning and resonance?

At the same time, the chaos star core in Su Muxue’s embrace also buzzed softly. Lin Mo’s weak intent was transmitted once again, but this time it carried a hint of instinctive vigilance and... disgust?

”Gold... bad... hate...”

It seemed that some quality emitted by the distant sharp metal star key had triggered an instinctive repulsion from the chaos star core.

Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue looked at each other, their expressions becoming even more solemn. The state of the sharp metal star key seemed even more complex than they had imagined.

”Let’s go.” Nangong Xuan suppressed his thoughts and turned his gaze westward again. ”We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. No matter what, we must get our hands on the sharp metal star key.”

With a wave of his sleeve, a dark-gold Sword Gang enveloped the three of them. Their speed increased once more as they turned into a long rainbow stretching across the sky, tearing through the clouds and racing toward the Land of the Far West, where Evil Qi and sharp edges intertwined.

However, they didn’t notice that in the shadow of a rock below, a wisp of faint black gas, almost merged with the shadows, slowly emerged after they left. It twisted a few times before quietly sinking into the ground and vanishing.
