Then, the stars appeared, vying to shine. It seemed quite magical, and even some ambitious people were already planning to weave some inscriptions.
Then came more than two hundred meteors. Among these meteors was the traveler, and the surface of the meteors was actually a manifestation of burning fortune.
"Pay attention! Take a close look at your jade talismans. They contain the time limit for the safe concealment, and even your new identity. Before that time expires, this identity is legitimate and legal, and is recognized by Heaven and Earth!"
"At this stage, even a celestial being in person cannot calculate your abnormalities. However, this does not mean you can rest easy. Even if it cannot be calculated directly, it can still be deduced through various factors."
"For example, if your original identity is a cook, but you act like a nobleman, you will definitely be exposed! Therefore, you must be careful and cautious, and try to reveal as few flaws as possible."
At this moment, after hearing Lin Yang's words and seeing the meteor shower filling the sky, the time travelers just wanted to curse loudly. Wasn't this enough to expose them?
Even if the gods can't figure anything out, they'll definitely search the heavens and the earth to carefully examine where they landed, right? How can they cause trouble peacefully then? And how can they acquire resources to break through without causing trouble?
"However, you don't need to worry. As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, empties their resources, and frustrates their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve and increase their abilities..."
"So, do your best. Oh, and before I go, I have a little poem for you all, I mean, a sentence for you: Keep living, keep living!"
At the same time, the Jade Emperor, seated atop the Lingxiao Palace, reacted. Just moments before, he had suddenly had a bad feeling, though he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason. He simply felt a sense of foreboding.
"Summon the all-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear to take a good look. Also, notify Ziwei, Zhenwu, and Laozi to come here for a meeting."
Not long after, Zhenwu, Ziwei, Taishang Laojun, and the Queen Mother all arrived at this place. They all sensed something and, after careful discussion, made a decision.
That means we must investigate—a joint investigation! After all, the fact that several of them sensed something already says something. Could it just be an ordinary meteor shower?
Soon after, the so-called invasion by extraterrestrial demons was discovered. After all, there are always some unlucky scions of noble families who don't take it seriously, only to end up causing trouble for their fathers.
"The Heavenly Emperor has decreed: Recently, a demonic star has descended to earth, which is in fact an invasion by extraterrestrial demons. These extraterrestrial demons are extremely dangerous, and all immortals and gods in the world who discover them will be rewarded..."

Chapter Thirty-Six: Xu Xian's Imminent Rebellion
The meteor, or rather, the thief star, has been quite effective. Like now, all the attention of the immortals and gods in the world has been drawn to this group of extraterrestrial demons; who cares what Xu Xian is doing?
Anyway, his wife has already been suppressed, and his son has already been born. All that's left is to wait patiently until the whole family is reunited, isn't that enough?
What kind of trouble could possibly arise from such a simple question? Instead of wasting time worrying about him, you might as well go and find those extraterrestrial demons; you might just strike it rich!
At this time, Xu Xian had become one of the largest warlords in the entire south, or what could be called a regional governor. He had his own independent system under his command, with many talented people, and even his own strength had reached the peak of the fifth rank.
At this moment, they were heading towards Peach Mountain. The procession was large and elaborate, with carriages stretching for at least ten miles. They only stopped upon arriving at Peach Mountain and dismounted from the carriages.
From afar, it appeared majestic and imposing, with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. Its aura was like a canopy, multicolored, with dragons and tigers coiled upon it. Under the protection of this dragon aura, all kinds of magic were rendered ineffective.
At the same time, a special throne was forming above their heads. This throne was related to dragon energy, mysterious and extremely precious.
Watching Xu Xian's retreating figure, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh. His adopted lord was undeniably hardworking, but his ultimate fate was likely dire. To have survived was a stroke of luck.
At first, I was a little envious. The journey was incredibly smooth, as if they could defeat any obstacle they encountered.
Back then, in just three short years, he went from an apprentice who couldn't even kill a chicken to a fifth-level Earth Immortal.
Now, within ten years, he has achieved the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, a remarkable pace of progress. More importantly, his foundation is incredibly solid!
His strength was incredibly formidable; he had acquired the martial arts of the Immortals to train his body, powerful magical weapons that armed him to the teeth, and all sorts of amazing secret techniques!
In fact, within just ten years, he built a vast empire, becoming one of the largest warlords in the entire south. He was truly remarkable in his career.
However, Pang Tong was not envious at all. In fact, he felt a chill whenever he thought about Xu Xian's current predicament.
This is a life that was completely arranged. Reborn, orchestrated, all the opportunities were prepared in advance. Even some daily activities were actually hinted at in various ways.
Thinking about it, Pang Tong recalled a story called Truman. The protagonist of the story was Truman.
Truman's every move was calculated in advance; his food, clothing, shelter, and life experiences were all arranged long ago!
Even the time of his parents' death, the time of his relatives' death, the time of his breakup with his lover, and the reason for the breakup were all pre-arranged!
How similar is Xu Xian at this moment? This kind of life trapped in a mold, a life that has been arranged in advance, is truly terrifying!
Meanwhile, Xu Xian arrived at Peach Mountain, at the place where Bai Suzhen was imprisoned.
Over the years, by continuously absorbing the essence of Yi wood contained in Peach Mountain, Bai Suzhen's cultivation has made considerable progress, and even the concentration of her bloodline has been further enhanced.
At this moment, he was only one step away from transforming into a dragon!
More importantly, over the years, the entire protective barrier of Peach Mountain has been thoroughly studied, and all sorts of backdoors are well understood. Just like now, Xu Xian is using a backdoor to speak with Bai Suzhen.
"My wife, are you alright?"
"Fortunately, over the years, by utilizing this boundless essence of Yi Wood and the cultivation techniques you left me, my strength has actually advanced further, reaching the mid-stage of the fifth rank. The bloodline within my body is now no different from that of a true dragon."
As she spoke, Bai Suzhen leaned against the rocks, looking at the sunlight shining down from the cave above her head, feeling quite content.
Over the years, the two have frequently exchanged items through this small cave, which contains only a few feet of earth. These items include cultivation techniques, rare and precious materials, and magical artifacts.
Sometimes, they could even meet and chat. Therefore, aside from the inability to have direct contact, Bai Suzhen felt everything was quite good!
It can only be said that going to jail to this extent is unprecedented in history.
"It's almost time, my wife, get ready, tomorrow will be the day you are born!" Xu Xian said confidently, sitting on the cave.
Ten years have passed; ten years of preparation have been underway. Before, Xu Xian was merely a wealthy man from the vicinity of Hangzhou, but what about now?
He was one of the most powerful regional warlords in the land, and if he were to rebel, he would be one of the most powerful rulers. At that time, every move he made would be imbued with a sense of destiny.
It can be said that by then, every move Xu Xian makes will affect the lives and deaths of tens of millions of mortals under his command!
