Stronger from Earth

Chapter 374 - 373: Metamorphosis

Staying in the villa for one night, Wang Xuan felt several alien presences approaching, trying to probe whether the Immortal Martial Taoist had returned.

Unfortunately, Wang Xuan had already set up an array and was very cautious at home, without a hint of carelessness.

"Wei, do you know how those aliens got to Earth?" Wang Xuan suddenly asked.

This was something he was very curious about. If he could find out, the proud sons of Earth would not have to worry about safety on their Mother Star.

Wei didn’t want to speak, but seeing Wang Xuan’s eyes roaming over her body, she immediately cowered.

"Earth has many space rifts connected to other worlds, possibly a precursor to the appearance of the Gate of the World.

Of course, it’s just possible; the Celestial Divine Realm also has many space rifts, some created by top-tier power clashes, others by world resonance."

Shoujo Wei’s explanation made Wang Xuan recall Abyss Mountain, where hundreds of miles have become Demon Land, likely connected to the Abyss.

"Through space rifts, one can enter Earth, or use Arbitrary Space Gates to teleport creatures to Earth from great distances. Though this method’s success rate isn’t high, it’s hard to prevent."

Arbitrary Gates are too random, and determining direction and distance can deviate. If accidentally teleported to the Immortal Holy Land, the unlucky aliens would surely perish.

Though this method is hard to block, Earth has many interstellar battleships breaking space daily for migrations, and even True Immortals tear space for travels. Random teleportation can be detected, but interfered too much definitely has some slipping through.

Earth-level creatures are mere cannon fodder; sacrificing thousands or tens of thousands doesn’t bother those top-tier Otherworld powerhouses.

Wang Xuan was somewhat satisfied with Shoujo Wei’s answer and decided to reward his female slave by adding a chicken leg to her meal.

Thus, at noon, he prepared a sumptuous feast to celebrate acquiring a Forbidden Secret Technique.

Having acquired the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, his comprehension speed was fast, and within a day or two, he could practice. It was a happy affair.

"Come, eat the chicken leg." Wang Xuan gave Shoujo Wei two chicken legs and let her eat aside.

Shoujo Wei looked at the hearty feast. Sealed till now and with her cultivation level confined by Wang Xuan, she also felt hunger.

That bastard! Eating well himself but only giving me two chicken legs, how would that fill me up!

Recalling past days as a princess with lavish food, where she dined on Dragon Marrow and Phoenix Gall, though of mixed dragon and phoenix lineage, it was still exceedingly rare.

Today, not mentioning high-level ingredients, even just two chicken legs, life was unbearable.

For a moment, Shoujo Wei felt an immense disparity, and tears of grievance fell.

Wang Xuan raised his head, picked up a piece of Soaring Snake meat, and savored it, saying: "I gave you two chicken legs, no need to be so touched, know you’ve not eaten for long, so eat up."

Dominated by fear, Shoujo Wei nodded tearfully while gnawing on chicken legs: "Touched, really touched."

Surely a bastard like Wang Xuan doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?

Thought Shoujo Wei, mysteriously cheerful, smiling a few times.

Well-fed and satisfied, Wang Xuan’s Mind Projection continued monitoring the hundreds-mile vicinity, while enlightenment of Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art proceeded. Another day passed, he felt confident to practice.

Beside the villa, plants flourished, the flower season passed, yet some whiff of spring remained, with winds blowing green leaves more tender, and small animals increasingly lively.

Wang Xuan spent a whole day initiating Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art. With his talent, taking so long to start showed its profundity.

"Practicing Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art is difficult; life forms completing the First Turn compares to advancing one Great Realm, requiring massive resources and time honing."

Shoujo Wei saw Wang Xuan practicing, dismissively thinking he was too rash, managing to understand only a fraction in one or two days of enlightenment?

She didn’t know Wang Xuan’s talent far surpassed hers, and two days were enough to grasp its mysteries.

"How long did you take to initiate?" Wang Xuan asked suddenly during his meditation.

Shoujo Wei pondered, answering: "Seems ten days, the First Turn took me three months, the Second Turn six months, the Third Turn a year, now I’m in the Sixth Turn."

Each completed turn rewarded her greatly, gaining the Pupil Dao Divine Techniques at the third, allowing flesh body recession.

The farther, the harder to complete a turn, the smaller the improvement. The lowest enhancement below True Tier is double. This level of increase determines its difficulty and the required time and resources.

"Ten days?" Wang Xuan smiled lightly, "That’s pretty dumb."

Those words angered Shoujo Wei. Being considered a proud daughter of the heavens within her clan, her aptitude was quite good, ranking in the top twenty of this generation with hopes of impacting the Immortal realm.

Generations of the Celestial Race calculate in ten-thousand-year spans; their longevity long; offspring also born at considerable age.

Through generations, bloodlines considered Direct Lineage would have at least one True Tier life form within three generations, ensuring inherited talent, thus entitled to Celestial Race cultivation resources.

"Time Spirit." Wang Xuan summoned Tower of Space-Time; his personal panel instantly appeared, showcasing cultivation information.

Name: Wang Xuan

Realm: Pure Yang Peak

Cultivation Skills: First-Layer Limit of the Creation True Scripture Celestial Immortal Chapter, First-Layer Limit of the Mixed Element Martial Scripture Celestial Immortal Chapter, First-Layer Limit of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield Celestial Immortal Chapter, Fourth-Layer Minor Achievement of the Heart Demon Scripture, Nine Breath Qi Cultivation at entry level, Flowers in an Instant at Great Success, Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo Fourth-Layer Primordial Spirit Sword at the limit, Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art entry level...

Source Point: Fifty million

Information on the personal panel lacks age and height columns, removed by Wang Xuan himself.

Height held no significance, becoming an inch-high dwarf or a hundred-meter giant both possible, and age alike with Celestial Immortal lifespan over ten-thousand; with his Life Force, if cultivation level didn’t advance, living like in Jade Platform Realm for a hundred thousand years wouldn’t be an issue.

"Three months of accumulation, incense faith from managing eleven life planets, I now possess fifty million Source Power points."

Having so much Source Power, Wang Xuan was naturally thrilled, knowing its implications; with comprehension of cultivation techniques, he could continually break through entering the True Immortal Domain.

The True Immortal Realm may not be far off.

"Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art initiated (acceleratable), accelerate?" Time Spirit’s prompt sounded.

"Accelerate."

Wang Xuan wished to see the outcome of his First Turn.

Unlike Shoujo Wei practicing Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art from foundational realms, hence many realms accumulated, reaching the Sixth Turn.

While he, now at Pure Yang Peak, practicing the First Turn, certainly differs greatly from Shoujo Wei.
