Chapter 385: Chapter 204: Refining Earth, The Beginning of Global Chaos
She had become somewhat famous throughout Dachang City, and even within the global Evolver community.
"Don’t get complacent. Tier Five is only the beginning. Not until you break through to the Ninth Layer of the Spiritual Domain, open your Inner World, and begin the path of Limit Breaking can you be said to have truly started your journey in Martial Arts!"
Wang Xiao advised.
"Yes, Master, I understand." Pei Shiqi nodded emphatically.
Although she felt her Talent for Martial Arts was excellent, she couldn’t feel the slightest bit of pride in front of Wang Xiao.
She knew that when it came to sheer genius, no one could compare to her master!
Wang Xiao said, "I don’t plan on going into seclusion again for the time being. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."
"The situation between the Human Race and the Mutant Beasts is delicate right now. A major conflict could erupt at any moment."
"You need to hurry and improve yourself. If you really end up on the battlefield, you’ll need the power to protect yourself!"
Pei Shiqi pressed her red lips together.
"Master, the conflicts between Mutant Beasts and humans seem to be getting more intense lately. Even Tier Six Mutant Beasts, which haven’t been seen in a long time, have appeared. Is something big about to happen?!"
She still didn’t know about the plan to refine Earth.
She only felt that the situation between humans and Mutant Beasts had suddenly grown tense.
Wang Xiao said,
"Perhaps. But don’t you worry. Even if you are sent to the battlefield, you’ll at most be facing Mutant Beasts of the same tier."
He didn’t explain further. After giving Pei Shiqi a bit more guidance, he returned to the Training Room.
Afterward, he entered the Virtual World again and discussed cultivation insights with Ji Wuchang and the others.
Ji Wuchang’s constitution was extremely special, giving him a natural affinity for all kinds of Great Dao.
He was the one with the strongest aptitude of the younger generation!
Back then, if Wang Xiao hadn’t appeared out of nowhere, the final candidate for the God Creation Plan might have been Ji Wuchang.
Discussing the Dao with Ji Wuchang was also quite helpful for Wang Xiao.
It could potentially help him grasp the traces of the Great Dao even faster.
And so, Wang Xiao enjoyed a rare period of leisure. He would lecture on the Dao and guide Pei Shiqi during the day, and discuss the Dao with Ji Wuchang at night.
He would also occasionally deal with visiting relatives!
「Seven days later.」
Wang Xiao finally captured a trace of the Matter and Void Great Daos.
’Ji Wuchang’s comprehension of the Great Dao is truly in a class of its own.’
’If he has the right opportunity, he might even be able to comprehend the Nine Origin Great Dao!’
It was during his discussions with Ji Wuchang that Wang Xiao had a new revelation, allowing him to capture the traces of the Matter and Void Great Daos so quickly.
Otherwise, he estimated it would have taken him several more months, or even half a year, to grasp the traces of these two Great Daos.
He spent another three days.
Only then did Wang Xiao manage to re-condense the Dao Fruits for Matter and Void!
Just as he was about to comprehend the remaining Death Great Dao and Reincarnation Great Dao,
BUZZ!
The void trembled.
A great Chaos Gate materialized.
Gu Tiandu stepped out from it.
His entire being seemed to exist on a different plane from reality.
It was as if Heaven and Earth themselves could not bear his power.
Clearly, this was, once again, Gu Tiandu’s true body.
He looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes brightening slightly.
"Hm? Judging from the fluctuations around you, it seems you’ve had a new insight?!"
Wang Xiao answered truthfully,
"Yes. After discussing the Dao with Ji Wuchang, I comprehended the Matter and Void Great Daos!"
He knew that although Gu Tiandu had not comprehended an Origin Great Dao,
he was, after all, a Tier Nine Life. His strength was certainly more than a level above Wang Xiao’s current state.
There was no way he could hide his current condition from Gu Tiandu.
Gu Tiandu laughed heartily.
"It seems the day you refine Earth is not far off! The Human Race truly is a race favored by destiny, incomparable to those Mutant Beasts!"
He paused.
Then he continued,
"I came to tell you that the aura you left behind in the Great Dao Relics has dissipated. You can enter the Great Dao Relics again to comprehend the Great Dao. Do you want to go now?!"
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly.
"Is it time already? Alright, I’ll go now!"
The Great Dao Relics were a special type of Cosmic Relics.
A special kind of Great Dao Creature lived inside.
By killing a Great Dao Creature, one could randomly obtain Great Dao Insights for a certain Great Dao.
It was thanks to these Great Dao Relics that Wang Xiao had previously been able to comprehend the Time, Space, and Life Great Daos!
However, one could only stay inside for a hundred years at most before having to leave, or their Great Daoist Nascent Soul would be affected.
After leaving, one had to wait for their aura within the Great Dao Relics to dissipate before they could re-enter.
This process took about a hundred years.
However, the flow of time in the Great Dao Relics was about 365 to 1 compared to the flow of time on Earth.
In other words, one year inside the Great Dao Relics was equivalent to one day on Earth.
Wang Xiao had now been on Earth for over three months.
Therefore, his aura in the Great Dao Relics had dissipated.
He could enter again.
"Good. This time, I’ll strive to comprehend all the remaining Origin Great Daos!"
Gu Tiandu smiled.
He originally thought Wang Xiao would need to spend at least five thousand years in the Great Dao Relics to have a chance at comprehending the Nine Great Origins.
He never expected that after just a hundred years, only the final two Origin Great Daos remained uncomprehended.
This was a pleasant surprise for him.
"Then I’ll take you up on those auspicious words, Senior," Wang Xiao pursed his lips.
His trip to the Great Dao Relics this time wasn’t entirely for comprehending the Great Dao.
It was also to complete his Cultivation of the Acupoint Concealed God part of the unfinished "Mokoshu Infinite Great Treasury True Method."
If there was still time, he would perform Origin Unity directly within the Great Dao Relics and evolve his Grotto Heaven!
That way, he wouldn’t need to reactivate his Dao Fruits after returning to Earth.
"Let’s go."
Gu Tiandu led Wang Xiao into the Chaos Gate.
「A moment later.」
The two arrived at Pluto, at the entrance to the Great Dao Relics.
With his previous experience, Wang Xiao headed straight for the core area of the Great Dao Relics after entering.
Only there could he kill the Great Dao Creatures that possessed Origin!
And so, in the blink of an eye, Wang Xiao spent another fifty years in the Great Dao Relics.
RUMBLE—
Along with a colossal, far-reaching roar, the entire Great Dao Relics began to shake violently.
Vast, majestic waves of energy surged forth.
This caused all the Great Dao Creatures within the Great Dao Relics to freeze in place as if they had met their natural enemy, completely unable to move an inch.
In the core area,
Wang Xiao felt the powerful fluctuations within his body and the Grotto Heaven that now spanned a million li, and he let out a soft breath.
’I’ve finally opened my Grotto Heaven!’
Wang Xiao already had experience from cultivating the "Tai Chi Eternal Heaven" and didn’t need fifty years to open his Grotto Heaven.
However, he had incorporated several Divine Techniques he comprehended from Sajia and the others of the Divine-Demon Race, which extended the time it took to open his Grotto Heaven a little!
’Now, all that’s left is to refine Earth and break through to become a Tier Seven Life!’
Wang Xiao rose to his feet. With a flash, he instantly appeared beside Gu Tiandu.
Gu Tiandu looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes shining faintly.
"You’ve... opened a Grotto Heaven?!"
Wang Xiao nodded.
"Yes. I used the Nine Origin Great Dao as my foundation to open an internal Grotto Heaven. Now, I might be able to refine Earth!"
Gu Tiandu laughed heartily.
"Excellent! Wang Xiao, you truly haven’t disappointed us. But there’s no rush. I need to contact the other Tier Nine Life forms and make preparations in advance."
"I’ll send you back first. After all, finding the planet’s consciousness also takes a significant amount of time."
Although he had never refined a planet’s consciousness himself, he seemed to have received related information.
He was quite familiar with the refining process.
Wang Xiao nodded.
"Mm, alright."
He didn’t mention that he possessed the Celestial Observation Cauldron and could instantly locate the planet’s consciousness.
It wouldn’t be too late to mention it when the time came to refine Earth.
First, he would let these Tier Nine Life forms prepare thoroughly and arrange everything.
After all, when he began refining Earth, the Mutant Beasts would definitely be able to sense it.
At that time, the entire Earth would likely descend into true chaos!
The more thorough the preparations, the fewer casualties the Human Race would suffer.
