251: Chapter 250 The Challenge Has Only Just Begun

Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming were both dumbfounded.

At a time like this, he still wanted to take a nap first?

Chu Xuan ignored the two of them.

Before this, Chu Xuan had asked [Future Tang Zheng] for information regarding the Mysterious Land, but at that time, the other party only said his level was too low and that matters involving such taboos and secrets could not be answered.

But now that he was no longer the same as before, he naturally wanted to try again.

He glanced at his phone display again; the time was ticking inconsistently. When it was slow, it passed at a normal speed, but occasionally, several minutes or even over ten minutes would skip by.

According to his previous experience, the time he would wake up from this dream should be 6:30, and seeing that the time was already approaching...

"Tang Zheng, help me keep an eye on our surroundings."

After giving Tang Zheng his instructions, Chu Xuan closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

For an ordinary person, it would be very difficult to do this under such circumstances.

Whether it was the turbulence and noise inside the cabin or the tension from a sudden crisis, it was by no means an ideal environment for sleep.

However, Chu Xuan's spirit attribute was as high as 91 points now, which allowed him to cope to a large extent.

Chu Xuan reined in his senses, internalized his mind, and blocked everything out, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

"Never trust anyone!"

"..."

As the familiar voice rang out, Chu Xuan snapped his eyes open, immediately realizing that he should have entered the dreamscape now.

However, he habitually checked his spirituality value first; 820 points remained. This entry into the dream still deducted 200 spirituality points.

He opened his phone; the time was 6:30, and the chat history with [Future Tang Zheng] was still there.

—[You must be careful of the Night Demon, leave Haicheng immediately!]

This was the last message sent by [Future Tang Zheng].

Chu Xuan remembered that in the last dream, the keywords in the other party's message had been censored. Now that the event had passed, they were visible again.

Without overthinking it, Chu Xuan sent a message: [Are you back to life yet? We are currently on the flight path from Haicheng to the Capital. We seem to be affected by the "Mysterious Land" right now, and it's very dangerous. Do you have any good suggestions?]

After it sent successfully, Chu Xuan turned to look out the window.

At this moment, the plane was in the middle of a thunderstorm, with lightning constantly flashing outside the window.

The cabin was still shaking, but it was no longer as violent as the world-spinning turbulence from before.

Xu Shuya and Tan Ziming were no longer here; from the sounds of it, they seemed to be in the cockpit up ahead.

Tang Zheng was sitting to the side, his eyes fixed intently on the window. Noticing the movement, he immediately turned to look over.

"You're awake!"

Tang Zheng's face lit up with joy, and he immediately followed up with gestures, saying, "Chu Xuan, you probably can't even imagine what we're going through!"

"We are Transmigrating back and forth between two worlds!"

Tang Zheng's tone was very excited: "That giant moon should be another world."

"There are monsters there that look like pterosaurs, giant tentacles in the sea of clouds, and I even just saw a vine piercing through these clouds."

"Also, when we passed by a mountain peak that pierced the sky, there was a castle on top. A giant phantom of a demon suddenly emerged from it—it was even more exaggerated than Ultraman—and it reached out with a massive palm to grab us. Our plane wasn't even as big as one of its fingers. Fortunately, at the critical moment, we Transmigrated back again."

Tang Zheng's expression seemed to show lingering fear, yet it was also tinged with intense excitement: "It's just too exaggerated! I never thought such a world actually existed!"

Chu Xuan was also alarmed by what he heard.

Although he had long guessed that this so-called "Mysterious Land" should be very special, and had even thought it might be another world...

Hearing Tang Zheng's description now, this world was simply too fantastical.

"We should be back in our world now, but this plane seems to be out of control, stuck in a patch of thunderstorm turbulence. It's been seven or eight minutes; I don't know if we'll Transmigrate to that mysterious world again."

Tang Zheng's voice actually sounded somewhat expectant as he sighed, "For some reason, I felt like jumping straight out several times just now..."

Chu Xuan looked at him with a bit of surprise.

However, just then, the message from [Future Tang Zheng] arrived on his phone.

[Tang Zheng: Sorry, I just got struck by lightning again. If I'm not mistaken, you should have already truly stepped onto the Purifier sequence, right? In my past memories, the Night Demon was suddenly taken out, and He Jun's body disappeared, leaving only his clothes. This was clearly a death by the Fire of Nirvana.]

Chu Xuan: [There's no time to talk about that now. First, tell me what's going on with this Mysterious Land. Is there anything I need to watch out for?]

[Tang Zheng: Under the restrictions of the rules, I can't reveal too much to you about things located outside of our world. However, you don't need to worry. In my memory, the plane didn't crash; it left the area safely, more or less.

You must remember, this plane will fly out of the thunderstorm range at approximately 6:50. Transcendents of Level 3 and above will be forcibly teleported to the Mysterious Land. Remember this time...]

[You will have only about 10 seconds to choose a language exchange. Once you miss it, subsequent actions will be much more troublesome.]

[You will obtain a disguised identity, but this identity isn't very secure. So, remember not to behave too abnormally. Otherwise, if the natives notice, you will be directly obliterated by the rules. You must remember this.]

Chu Xuan's brow furrowed as his doubts grew.

But he didn't ask about that in detail. Instead, he immediately scrolled up through the previous chat logs. Then, his brow furrowed even deeper, and he asked: [You only guessed that I became a Purifier but weren't sure. Does that mean something happened to me again in the future?]

[Tang Zheng: ...]

[Tang Zheng: Dammit! Good thing you brought that up, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed that I missed another message just now!]

[Tang Zheng: You must remember, around 6:50, you must hold onto me tightly. Otherwise, during the teleportation process, you will all die! Because we weren't chosen to walk the path of the strong starting as Level 1 novices; we entered by mistake due to spatial turbulence. Without the corresponding mark of protection, we are no stronger than paper.]

Chu Xuan's heart sank slightly: [So, I just died that easily?]

[Tang Zheng: Yes. But now that I've told you the method in advance, you won't die. And I believe you will also reap some benefits in the Mysterious Land.]

Chu Xuan was completely perplexed: [What exactly is going on with this Mysterious Land?]

[Tang Zheng: It is one of the ancient paths to save the world. The System's role there is very limited. We aren't the chosen ones; we are just passersby. We will return once the mission is complete.]

Chu Xuan was lost in thought.

[Tang Zheng: Regardless, congratulations on becoming a Purifier. I assume you've already resolved the threat of the Phantom Demon. But next, the challenge has just begun.]
