Chapter 399: Chapter 210: 9 Suns in the Same Sky, A Wonderful Start
BUZZ!
In an instant,
The Book of Space-Time expanded sharply.
Wang Xiao instantly felt his Heart Spirit plummet into a boundless void.
Before his eyes, vistas of starry skies appeared, one after another.
They were like countless twinkling stars, densely packed together.
’Whoa, it can traverse so many star systems. These must all be medium-level star systems or lower,’ Wang Xiao mused.
Although the Book of Space-Time could now perform tier-based traversals,
the chosen star system couldn’t exceed his own power by more than two Great Realms.
He was currently a Tier Seven Life form, so the highest life form in any star system he traversed to could only be a Tier Nine Life form!
And a star system that contained Tier Nine Life was known as a medium-level star system.
’A Tier Nine Life form is still a bit too far out of my reach. I should aim for a low-level star system where the strongest beings are only Tier Eight Life forms.’
’That way, not only can I find some new cultivation paths, but I can also secure resources more easily!’
Wang Xiao could already sense that the duration of this traversal would definitely be longer than the last.
It would be at least double, meaning a stay of roughly eight or nine hundred years.
In that amount of time, he had a very good chance of breaking through to become a Tier Eight Life form!
As for reaching Tier Nine Life, that would be impossible to achieve in a single traversal.
If he traveled to a star system with Tier Nine Life forms, he would end up being constrained by others, even after reaching the peak of his cultivation there.
Furthermore, he wouldn’t be able to acquire many of the resources.
The losses would outweigh the gains!
Wang Xiao understood the principle of being a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big sea.
’Low-level star systems... there are over three thousand of them. But compared to the vastness of the Cosmos, that number isn’t really that large.’
Wang Xiao fixed his gaze upon the low-level star systems one by one.
In low-level star systems, the strongest beings were only Tier Eight Life forms.
Of course, some of them only contained Tier Seven Life forms.
He wanted to look up the basic information for these low-level star systems.
However,
each star system was shrouded in a thick Fog.
He could only determine its approximate tier; all other information was unknown!
’So, I just have to pick one of these three thousand-plus star systems at random...?’
Wang Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head, then chose the star system located right in the center.
After selecting the star system he would traverse to,
BUZZ!
In an instant,
Wang Xiao felt his perspective and Heart Spirit plummeting wildly.
The next moment,
a planet so vast it was immeasurable appeared before his eyes.
To the naked eye, there was no end to it.
It was as if it occupied the entire star system!
’Its surface area must be measured in light-years!’
Wang Xiao let out a breath.
In all his travels, he had never seen such a massive planet.
’Is this the planet I’m about to enter?!’
His Heart Spirit suddenly plunged into it.
WHOOSH.
An endless wave of light and heat rushed toward him.
Then,
Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought dissipated into Heaven and Earth.
In that fleeting glimpse,
he actually saw nine great suns, burning with fiery brilliance, hanging high in the sky and scorching the vast land!
There were also training grounds brimming with Spiritual Qi, suspended above towering mountains.
Each training ground emanated an aura comparable to that of a Tier Seven Life form!
「Real World.」
Wang Xiao slowly opened his eyes as his Heart Spirit returned.
’It seems the world I’m traveling to this time is far superior to the previous ones. There are so many Tier Seven Life forms.’
’However, I didn’t sense the aura of any Tier Eight Life forms. I don’t know if there aren’t any, or if I just didn’t have enough time to detect them.’
The thoughts flowed through Wang Xiao’s mind.
He wasn’t too concerned about whether this star system actually had any Tier Eight Life forms.
With his current foundation, as long as his Grotto Heaven could reach its maximum size of one light-year, he should be able to rival an ordinary Tier Eight Life form.
At that point, Tier Eight beings would no longer pose a threat to him.
He didn’t dwell on it further. He summoned Pei Shiqi and made arrangements for the Martial Arts Hall.
He also informed her that he would be entering a period of seclusion.
He would not be receiving any visitors for the time being!
During this period,
following the end of Earth’s great final battle,
the number of students at Wang Xiao’s Martial Arts Hall had seen an unprecedented explosion in growth.
To say the streets were deserted because everyone had flocked there would be an understatement.
Nearly every branch of the hall across the country was filled to capacity.
The number of people practicing the Martial Arts Evolution Path had surpassed twenty billion.
You could say that,
for any human just starting their evolution path, Martial Arts was their first choice!
Most Evolvers would also practice Martial Arts alongside their own evolution paths.
Wang Xiao had become the most talked-about person on the planet.
Visitors came to see him every day in a never-ending stream.
However,
Wang Xiao only received a few people from the Supreme Federation and some old friends before he stopped seeing guests.
Right now,
his most important task was to break through to Tier Eight Life as soon as possible!
With his current foundation, if he broke through to become a Tier Eight Life form,
even those Tier Nine Mutant Beasts would have a hard time inflicting fatal harm on him.
Only then would he have truly established a foothold in this star system, no longer needing the protection of humanity’s Tier Nine Life forms!
Therefore, Wang Xiao naturally couldn’t be bothered with trivial matters.
After arranging everything,
Wang Xiao directly tore open the Void and entered the Land of Nothingness.
It was a place of eternal silence, where he wouldn’t be disturbed, making it the most suitable location for his traversal.
’It’s just a shame I can’t take the Celestial Observation Cauldron and the Celestial Destiny Sword with me. Otherwise, my starting situation would probably be much smoother!’
Wang Xiao shook his head to himself.
As the Book of Space-Time’s abilities grew, perhaps it would eventually allow him to choose items to take with him.
Or maybe even allow for a physical body traversal!
Of course,
with the Book of Space-Time’s current abilities, such a thing was not yet possible.
’Oh well, as long as I don’t transmigrate into an inescapable death trap this time.’
Not dwelling on it further, Wang Xiao directly connected with the Book of Space-Time and chose to traverse.
BUZZ!
The Book of Space-Time suddenly erupted with bursts of golden light, which projected Wang Xiao’s Soul Projection out and drew it into the book.
The next moment,
a flicker of golden light tore through one star system after another.
Wang Xiao felt the world spin around him, and by the time he opened his eyes, he had arrived in a different world.
...
Warmth.
It was like returning to the womb.
Wang Xiao felt an unprecedented comfort in his body, making him yawn involuntarily.
His consciousness gradually returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Then,
he was slightly taken aback to find his body was faintly glowing.
The light carried a hint of warmth as it spread outward.
After that,
he saw that he seemed to be in a dilapidated temple, with a group of richly dressed humans kneeling before him.
These humans were looking at him with reverence in their eyes.
’What’s going on?!’
Wang Xiao sized up his own situation.
He found himself wrapped in swaddling clothes, still in the form of a baby.
However,
he wasn’t resting on anything at the moment, but was suspended in mid-air.
His eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at an old man kneeling below and activated his Analyze All Things Talent.
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis Successful]
[Wang Chuan, 50 years old, the wealthiest man in Osmanthus City. Possesses immense wealth. Intelligent since childhood, he followed his father to do business at a young age, traveling to various places, trading all sorts of goods, and profiting from the price differences. By the age of thirty, he had accumulated a huge fortune and became the richest man in Osmanthus City.]
[He later married several wives, all of whom died of mysterious illnesses. The children born to them also all died in infancy. He prayed to many Buddhas and sought out Daoists, but to no avail. At fifty years old, he remains all alone.]
[Future Trajectory: His fate as a lone star of misfortune will attract the attention of the White Bone Daoist of the Withered Bone Sect, from beneath the Ten Directions Jungle. He will be killed and turned into a puppet.]
As a large amount of information flooded his mind,
Wang Xiao instantly understood the culture, background, and some of the surrounding factions of this world.
"I beg the Holy Infant for your blessing! Please save this old man! As long as the Holy Infant can help this old man have an heir, this old man is willing to give away his entire fortune!"
"Me too! I beg the Holy Infant to save my son! He was attacked by an evil spirit and has been in a coma ever since."
"Holy Infant, my daughter-in-law’s womb has been quiet for a long time. Please bless her, Holy Infant, so she may conceive soon."
One voice after another entered Wang Xiao’s ears.
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that these people were here to ask for his blessings.
’The Holy Infant... interesting. This starting scenario is much better than the previous ones,’ Wang Xiao mused.
Before, he was either abandoned, locked in the Exorcism Tower, or born posthumously.
This time, at least for now, his life wasn’t in immediate danger.
However,
it seemed he had now become a tool for others to make a profit.
As he was pondering this, two Daoists, one old and one young, walked slowly into the dilapidated temple, holding Dusters in their hands.
