I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Chapter 429: Chapter 224: Charging Towards Perfect Tier 8

Outside Fengdu City.

Beside a lake.

A bonfire blazed, the firewood popping and crackling.

Wang Xiao and Xu Muying sat quietly by the fire. Skewered over the flames was a large fish, roasted to a golden brown!

Droplets of oil dripped down, causing the flames to flare up.

Waves of a fresh aroma washed over them.

Wang Xiao retrieved some seasonings from his Grotto Heaven and sprinkled them onto the roasted fish.

He had just made these seasonings himself.

With his current power, he could already alter the form of certain matter.

Conjuring up spices similar to chili powder, cumin, and five-spice powder was, naturally, a simple task for him.

"Here, try some. See if it tastes any different from back then."

Wang Xiao smiled faintly.

He was filled with a sense of wistful emotion.

To think that in the blink of an eye, over a thousand years had passed since their promise to face the future together.

Of course,

For Xu Muying, however, ten thousand years had already gone by.

Even for a Saint, that was no short amount of time.

Xu Muying took it and bit down, her mouth instantly filling with the savory juices.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she nodded and said:

"This is amazing! I have to say, Broken Monk, your skills are even better than they were back then."

Wang Xiao said,

"The fish we’re eating now is very different from the one we had in the Wilderness back then. If an ordinary person were to eat this kind of fish, it would extend their life by at least a hundred years."

Xu Muying said while eating the roasted fish,

"To be honest, I haven’t eaten roasted fish in a long, long time. Sometimes, eating is as much about the state of mind as it is about the food."

"Even with the same food, if your state of mind is different, the taste will naturally be different too."

Wang Xiao looked at Xu Muying and sighed.

"’Flowers may bloom again, but a person is never young twice.’ It’s a law of nature. Even though we have become Saints, we can’t escape it."

"All we can do is live well in the present and make every day count!"

He could tell that Xu Muying was no longer the same person she once was.

That was only to be expected.

To become a Daoist Lord, step-by-step, in another, unfamiliar world...

Xu Muying must have experienced countless joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, and life-or-death trials.

It would be abnormal if she were still the same as before.

Xu Muying gazed at the shimmering surface of the lake, her expression a little dazed.

"Yes... we’re the lucky ones. Separated for ten thousand years, yet we were able to meet again in an Exotic Realm. Back then, I watched my friends and family pass away one by one. That’s why I desperately stepped into that passage, gambling on one last chance at survival, hoping that one day, I would see you again!"

"I just never expected that this place still isn’t your home planet."

Wang Xiao said,

"This may not be my home planet, but from now on, I can return whenever I wish."

"Right now, the priority is to eliminate the hidden threat of the Celestial Court."

Back then, he had forcibly severed the connection between Fengluo and the Celestial Court.

He had expected the Celestial Court to make a move.

However, sixty years passed, and the Celestial Court made no response.

But this still didn’t make Wang Xiao lower his guard.

There were only two possible reasons for the Celestial Court’s inaction.

First, the Celestial Court never truly received Fengluo’s message, which is why they didn’t react.

Second, the Celestial Court felt that a conflict of this level was beneath their notice, so they didn’t bother to intervene.

After all, an elephant wouldn’t go out of its way for an ant.

Of course, regardless of the reason, the existence of the Celestial Court was a ticking time bomb for Wang Xiao.

It needed to be defused as soon as possible.

But before that, Wang Xiao naturally had to complete his cultivation of the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique!

He felt that as long as he could expand his Grotto Heaven to its limit of one light-year, with his power, he would have a fighting chance even against a Tier Eight Life!

After all, Tier Eight beings essentially still used Star Power; they just integrated that Star Power into every one of their cells.

Xu Muying asked,

"Which Daoist Lord are you planning to find first?"

Wang Xiao thought for a moment before saying a name:

"Primordial Void."

Primordial Void was widely acknowledged as the foremost among the Thirty-Six Daoist Lords.

His power was immeasurably greater than that of Fengluo and Xu Muying.

Furthermore, his whereabouts and origins were shrouded in mystery.

If Wang Xiao could deal with him, handling the other Daoist Lords would be much simpler and would save a lot of trouble.

Xu Muying nodded slightly.

"This Primordial Void is one of the most ancient Daoist Lords. Almost no one knows his origins. If you can defeat him, I imagine the other Daoist Lords will cooperate with you."

Wang Xiao said,

"From here on, I’ll go alone. Besides sparring with the various Daoist Lords, I also need to make preparations to investigate the Celestial Court."

"There is something I might need you to do for me, Roasted Fish."

"What’s up?"

"I gave you the locations of all those Life Seeds before, didn’t I? How’s the collection coming along?"

"I’ve only collected three or four. Some were too far away, so I didn’t bother going after them."

"Next, I need to cultivate a Magic Technique that might require a large number of Life Seeds. However, I also need to go see the various Daoist Lords, and I can’t be in two places at once. That’s why I need you to help me gather them."

Expanding his Grotto Heaven required the aid of numerous Life Seeds.

Since Wang Xiao was about to meet with the various Daoist Lords and cultivate the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique, he naturally had no time to harvest Life Seeds himself.

This was a task he could only entrust to Xu Muying.

"No problem. But most of the Life Seeds on that list are quite far apart. At my speed, I’m afraid it’ll take two or three hundred years to collect them all."

The reason Saints were unable to refine too many Life Seeds was, for one, due to the influence of their own Divine Techniques Golden Core.
