Chapter 313: Chapter 173: 100 Years Later, the 5th Transmigration
"Some of these creatures are no weaker than us, so we are always extremely careful when dealing with them."
Wang Xiao nodded.
"I see."
He felt a surge of emotion.
’Just in the region of space where Earth is located, there are so many unique creatures. The entire Cosmos... who knows how many star systems it contains, and how many more creatures?!’
He didn’t dwell on the thought.
Wang Xiao said,
"Alright, Elder Gu, I’ll head into the mountain range now and take a look."
He was curious to see for himself what was so special about these so-called Great Dao Creatures.
"Good. Go on. Once you enter the mountain range, release your Divine Thought. That will draw out these Great Dao Creatures!"
Wang Xiao nodded. His figure flickered, and in an instant, he had disappeared into the mountain range.
After Wang Xiao left.
A figure slowly materialized beside Gu Tiandu.
The figure appeared to be female, but she was like a gentle breeze. Only a slender, indistinct silhouette was visible, her true features obscured.
A clear, gentle voice emerged from her:
"So, this is Earth’s greatest talent in a century? I wonder how many Origin Great Daos he’ll be able to comprehend in the core."
Gu Tiandu smiled faintly.
"In just a few short months, he has already comprehended two Origin Great Daos. His potential is even greater than we imagined."
The woman said:
"He must have some secrets. This rate of improvement is extraordinary."
Gu Tiandu:
"Our Huaxia has five or six thousand years of history. It’s only natural for a few prodigies to emerge. And even if he has secrets, that’s perfectly normal. Which one of us doesn’t have secrets? Could any of us have reached the Tier Nine Life realm without them?"
"That’s true."
The woman considered this for a moment before turning to business:
"I’ve already laid a great net around the perimeter of our Solar System. I’m just waiting for you to activate it. Then, once this boy has refined Earth, we’ll be able to give those damned old Mutant Beasts a devastating blow!"
Gu Tiandu:
"Yes, the great war should erupt within the year. Have Yuan Fanlang contact all beings below Tier Nine in other star systems. Tell them all to return and prepare for the final battle for Earth!"
...
「Inside the mountain range.」
Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought swept out, drifting unhurriedly through the area.
Apart from some strange plants that emitted hazy halos of light, there were virtually no animals here.
The roots of these halo-emitting plants dug deep into the earth, stretching ever downward.
It seemed as if the roots of these plants spread throughout the entire planet.
’What a strange world. I wonder how it was formed. This planet should count as a Living Star, right?!’
Wang Xiao surveyed his surroundings with curiosity.
He proceeded on foot at a steady pace, slowly making his way toward the center.
A moment later, a creature of pure chaos materialized not far from Wang Xiao.
Upon sensing Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought, its body swelled violently. It whipped up a scorching gale as it lunged to envelop him.
Wang Xiao gave a casual wave of his hand. Gang Qi surged forth, and he annihilated the chaos creature with almost no effort.
POP!
In that instant, the chaos creature exploded into motes of starlight that were absorbed by the surrounding plants.
Then, a trace of a Great Dao’s aura suffused the air, which his Divine Thought perceived and captured.
’This is... the aura of the Iron Great Dao. After comprehending it, one can master iron-type Divine Techniques...’
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly. He felt his mind fill with abstruse information about the Iron Great Dao.
However, this information was thin—not nearly enough for him to capture a trace of the Iron Great Dao.
It was like a compass, only providing a general direction.
’Still, this is incredible. The Great Dao is formless and intangible. Even with just a general direction, at least I won’t be blundering around like a headless fly. As long as I follow this path, I’ll comprehend the Great Dao eventually!’
Wang Xiao was deeply impressed.
This really was an excellent place for Enlightenment. At the very least, it could increase one’s chances of success several times over!
However, Wang Xiao’s goal wasn’t these Basic Great Daos or Natural Great Daos. He was after the Origin Great Daos at the very core.
Therefore, after familiarizing himself with the attacks of the Great Dao Creatures, Wang Xiao gradually picked up his pace and headed for the heart of the mountain range.
He also discovered that the creatures in the outer area were only around the One Thought Reaches Heaven Realm.
The further in he went, their strength became comparable to a Tier Six Life that had comprehended an ordinary Great Dao!
And sometimes, one or two Tier Six Lives would even attack at the same time!
Fortunately, Wang Xiao’s current strength far surpassed that of Tier Six Lives, so he reached the core of the mountain range without much effort.
’In just about a day, I’ve already comprehended more than a dozen Great Dao Rules thanks to my Analyze All Things Talent—and that’s without even trying to stop for them. Once I comprehend the Nine Origin Great Daos, I can come back and try to comprehend the others...’
Wang Xiao’s thoughts raced.
He hadn’t deliberately attracted the Great Dao Creatures in the outer and middle rings. He had simply killed the ones he happened to encounter along the way.
Then, he would use his Analyze All Things Talent to parse the information on the Great Dao he had just perceived.
’This is the place that can help me comprehend the Origin Great Daos.’
Wang Xiao gazed around and found only a single, colossal ancient tree that towered a thousand zhang high.
Its roots seemed to plunge into the very core of the planet before spreading out like a vast net to encompass the entire world.
