Wang Jixuan was already quite troubled.

The sudden appearance of this middle-aged scholar only added to the chaos.

A Celestial Immortal wandering around the Endless Star Sea...

This destructive power is far greater than those Immortal Realm experts who must adhere to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and can only enter the Lower Realm through avatars or possession.

Wang Jixuan was worried the other might snap his fingers and Earth would explode!

In the Immortal Realm, the highest ranks should be Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyin Golden Immortal, and Da Luo.

This middle-aged scholar's strength should be slightly weaker than Elder Shao's main body.

After all, Elder Shao has been at the peak of Celestial Immortal Perfection for ages, merely unable to break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate to attain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Wang Jixuan's thoughts were in turmoil, and he felt slightly agitated;

But agitation and complaints wouldn't solve the problem, and things needed to be addressed one at a time.

Primordial Spirit Returns to Body;

Wang Jixuan immediately stored the Stone of the Past in his Storage Magical Treasure and sent a command to Mu Dan No.2 to evacuate the humans on Earth as much as possible.

Normally, the Dark Sect wouldn't know he was here;

Yet, the middle-aged scholar said a large force from the Dark Sect was coming to Earth, probably planning to use Earth as leverage to force him out.

Could it be the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao discovered his whereabouts?

In any case, all these possibilities needed to be considered.

As Wang Jixuan had just finished issuing orders, the middle-aged scholar followed Wu Man into the isolation chamber of the spaceship where Wang Jixuan was.

The scholar looked left, looked right, his eyes full of curiosity, and in a few blinks he appeared before Wang Jixuan.

"This grand ship in the Immortal Forbidden Land indeed has a unique elegance."

The scholar remarked with a chuckle.

Wang Jixuan asked, "How should this junior address the senior?"

"Han Xiao."

The middle-aged scholar clasped his hands and laughed:

"I have seven very close friends, and although we are somewhat famous in the Immortal Realm, we are known among the amused as the Eight Immortals of the Firmament.

"All eight of us have Celestial Immortal cultivation, and we don't catch the eyes of those major sects, but we know quite a few Taiyin Golden Immortals and Da Luo Golden Immortal seniors."

Wang Jixuan smiled and nodded.

He looked around and realized that on this experimental ship there wasn't really a place to sit down, chat, and drink, so he requested the ship to dock at the nearest Space Fortress, and asked No.2 to prepare a sumptuous feast.

First, he had to show proper respect.

Once they were properly seated, Wang Jixuan, and the self-claimed Han Xiao, the Independent Practitioner Celestial Immortal, made some small talk before diving into the main topic.

"To what purpose does Senior Han come here specifically?"

"Didn't I just tell you?"

Han Xiao, dressed in a brocade white robe, held a goblet elegantly swirling the wine.

He calmly said, "I am here for you, to invite you to join a loose faction, though this entirely depends on your own decision. I will not force you in the least, nor can I promise you any benefits. If you agree, I can take you away today to lay low for a while, and return to the Immortal Realm for mutual cultivation once the storm has passed."

Wang Jixuan asked, "May I ask, senior, what kind of faction is this?"

"Just a loose faction in the Immortal Realm."

Han Xiao was tight-lipped:

"I won't elaborate, but it's surely more leisurely than Tianluo or the Dark Sect.

"Honestly, in our faction, quite a few come from Tianluo and the Dark Sect, not wishing to be entangled with the Heavenly Dao any longer, but wanting only to quietly cultivate and comprehend the Great Path, aspiring to attain immortality.

"It's the first time everyone's heard someone can threaten the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao, marked for pursuit by it, generating great interest in you."

Master Wang smiled bitterly: "Can you help me analyze, Senior, why I'm being hunted by the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao?"

"This," Han Xiao's smile faded, speaking solemnly, "the Heavenly Dao surely has issues, otherwise, it wouldn't target a cultivator. In truth, just that label of 'Dark Sect Heavenly Dao's destroyer' is enough to secure you a seat among the top circles in the Immortal Realm."

Wang Jixuan poured a drink for Han Xiao: "I haven't even been to the Immortal Realm..."

"I'm not trying to persuade you otherwise."

Han Xiao sighed lightly:

"Within a few hours, my friends should be able to reach this realm, see for yourself, decide for yourself.

"We won't directly help you do anything, it's merely your intriguing experience driving our wish to form an acquaintance or two.

"Even if you're not willing to join us now, you can always seek us out if you change your mind later.

"Can someone who can threaten the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao still find becoming immortal difficult?"

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked, "Might the Heavenly Dao tamper with my Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Possible," Han Xiao added, "in any case, no matter what bizarre or strange events you encounter later on, they are not particularly odd, because the most extraordinary thing has already occurred."

Master Wang sighed lightly.

He gazed out through the large glass window of the transfer station at the stars, absorbed in thought.

Han Xiao watched silently, he too sighed quietly in his heart.

'This one's mind is indeed resilient; another cultivator, let alone a Quasi Immortal in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, even a True Immortal, Celestial Immortal would probably be without a clue right now.'

'However, his hiding here should be related to that heavy treasure, right.'

'I'm not inclined to rob his treasure, but... is the Heavenly Dao targeting him because of that treasure in his possession?'

'Troublesome, very troublesome, it's tickling my mind to death.'

Han Xiao blinked his eyes, suddenly cleared his throat, raised his glass, and said, "Come, let's have a few drinks first, feel a bit tipsy, then we can have a heart-to-heart conversation."

Wang Jixuan clinked glasses with Han Xiao: "Fateful that I get to meet a senior, so today I'll not dwell on these bothersome matters."
