I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Chapter 430: Chapter 224: Charging Towards Perfect Tier 8

The second reason was that the Land of Void was simply too vast, making it extremely difficult to find even a single Life Seed.

Sometimes, if your luck was bad, you might not come across one for a thousand years.

After all—

Life Seeds were generally separated by immense distances, and their positions were constantly changing.

After harvesting one, even if you knew the location of another, it would likely take ten to twenty years of flying to reach it.

"It’s fine. After I visit the various Daoist Lords and do what I need to do, it will probably take at least three hundred years."

Wang Xiao knew that Cutting the Three Corpses was not that simple.

Reshaping Heaven and Earth was just the first step.

Next, he still had to perform Divine Thought Melt Heaven, as well as make the self-severing strike!

All of this would require a tremendous amount of time.

Moreover, this was only for Slaying the Divine Soul Worm.

He still had to find the techniques for slaying the other two Corpse Worms, which would take even longer.

"Then be careful. I’ve never dealt with this Primordial Void person, but it’s said he has the strength to kill a Daoist Lord. He’s extremely dangerous. When you spar with him in his domain, you absolutely must watch out for your own safety," Xu Muying reminded him.

Wang Xiao smiled faintly. "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

With his current strength, as long as his opponent wasn’t a Tier Eight Life form, they could not possibly be his match.

Although a domain could multiply a Saint’s strength, it couldn’t bring about a qualitative transformation.

What’s more, in the past sixty years, he had set up the Fengluo Dao to be the Array Hub for reshaping Heaven and Earth, and this endeavor was not without its own rewards.

This Array Hub was already linked to his Grotto Heaven; even from trillions of miles away, he could activate it directly.

When that time came, his power would become even greater.

After they finished discussing serious matters, Wang Xiao and Xu Muying ate grilled fish while drinking and chatting.

A day passed quickly.

The next day, Wang Xiao and Xu Muying returned to the Land of Void.

Wang Xiao sensed the locations of all the Life Seeds again, then transmitted the information to Xu Muying.

The locations of most Life Seeds hadn’t changed; only a few were in different positions.

Life Seeds changed their positions randomly, with no discernible pattern.

Some Life Seeds might shift their position once a century, while others might not move for ten thousand years.

"You be careful from now on, too. If you encounter a Life Seed within a Sea of Light, just ignore it. Focus on harvesting the safe ones," Wang Xiao said.

He knew that even Saints were in danger of falling into an Illusion Realm.

Simply knowing a Life Seed’s location didn’t guarantee it could be harvested.

"I know." Xu Muying nodded.

Wang Xiao didn’t say much more. After agreeing to meet Xu Muying in Fengdu City in three hundred years, he departed immediately.

Immediately, he sensed the location of the Hunxu Dao, tore open the Void, and sped toward it.

The Hunxu Dao and Fengluo Dao were separated by the Guangxuan Dao and Changlong Dao, with a total distance of more than a light-year between them.

Even for someone like Wang Xiao, the journey would take several years.

This was why some Daoist Lords might only ever hear of one another’s names, never meeting once in their entire lives.

For an ordinary Daoist Lord, even if their territories were adjacent, it would likely take ten to twenty years to travel to the other’s domain.

Unless it was for something important, there was absolutely no reason to make such a trip.

...

「Three years later.」

Hunxu Dao, Hunxu Mountain.

For thousands of miles around this mountain, there were no signs of life, only a vast expanse of Chaos.

It was as if this place didn’t exist in the same dimension as the Real World.

This was the domain of Primordial Void, the Daoist Lord of Hunxu Dao.

Legend had it that this Hunxu Mountain, along with Buzhou Mountain at the center of Heaven and Earth, had appeared at the dawn of creation.

Buzhou Mountain connected to the Celestial Court, while Hunxu Mountain connected to the Nine Netherworld.

It was profoundly remote and ethereal, shrouded in utter mystery.

The Daoist Lord of Primordial Void himself was also extremely mysterious. Despite being the lord of a Dao, he rarely concerned himself with worldly affairs, nor did he contend with others.

He guarded Hunxu Mountain alone year-round, emerging only occasionally to preach the Dao.

However, his reputation was the highest among all the Daoist Lords.

This was because, among the lords of the Thirty-Six Dao, several had heard his sermons and could be considered his semi-disciples.

’He truly is extraordinary.’

As Wang Xiao entered the range of Hunxu Mountain, he felt the space around him twist and distort, his connection to the outside world weakening.

’This must be Primordial Void’s Domain. It can already exert a massive influence on the rules of Heaven and Earth!’

Wang Xiao guessed that this Primordial Void had comprehended at least five Origin Great Daos.

And hundreds, if not thousands, of other Great Daos. Otherwise, possessing such a powerful Domain would be impossible!

Wang Xiao’s expression remained unchanged as he cupped his fists and said,

"Loose Cultivator Wang Xiao has come to visit the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void. I humbly request an audience."

He knew that as soon as he stepped within the bounds of Hunxu Mountain, Primordial Void must have sensed his presence.

The moment his voice fell.

VMM!

A figure stepped out of the Void.

His form was indistinct, like a plume of smoke that seemed ready to disperse at any moment.

An ethereal, otherworldly voice echoed from the figure:

"Wang Xiao, was it you who killed the Fengluo Daoist Lord sixty years ago?!"

Although the various Dao were separated by vast distances, they had their own channels for news.

Although the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void did not involve himself in worldly affairs, that didn’t mean he was ignorant of events in the outside world.

An event as momentous as the fall of a Daoist Lord—something that hadn’t happened in ten thousand years—had likely already spread throughout all the Dao by now.

Naturally, the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void was aware of it.

Wang Xiao replied,

"That is correct. During his time as Daoist Lord, he killed countless innocent people. His death was more than deserved."

Upon hearing this, Primordial Void chuckled.

"How curious. Truly curious. In this day and age, there’s still a Saint who cares about the lives and deaths of common folk."

Wang Xiao’s expression was serene.

"Heaven and Earth give birth to all things to nourish living beings. In my eyes, there is no difference between a Saint and an ordinary person."

Primordial Void’s eyes glinted, but he didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he asked,

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what brings you across such vast distances to my humble domain?"

Wang Xiao replied,

"Two things."

"First, I wish to ask the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void about the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique."

"Second, I wish to discuss the Dao with the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void."

He had already gathered that the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void had not committed any atrocities.

Therefore, he had no reason to simply kill him and perform a Soul Search.

After all—

When he eventually traveled to the Celestial Court, having Primordial Void as an ally would make things much easier for him.

Primordial Void said,

"It seems you’ve obtained the part of the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique that Fengluo possessed."

Hearing Primordial Void’s words, Wang Xiao knew there was a high probability that the man had information about the remaining parts of the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique. He couldn’t help but say,

"Correct. Rumor has it that the Daoist Lord of Primordial Void is the most senior of all Daoist Lords. I presume you know the whereabouts of the remaining parts of the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique."

Primordial Void smiled faintly.

"I do indeed know the whereabouts of the rest of the Cutting the Three Corpses Technique. However, let us first discuss the Dao. If Fellow Daoist Wang can defeat me, I will naturally tell you what I know."

"If you cannot, then you should return from whence you came."

Wang Xiao’s tone was calm.

"In that case, let’s begin."

He had come here with the intention of sparring anyway. Whether it happened now or later made no difference to him.

Primordial Void said no more. His body dispersed like smoke.

The next moment.

VMM!

The surroundings instantly became a stretch of nothingness, plunging into absolute silence!

It was as if everything had returned to the moment of creation.

A vast Mixed Cave with no Time, no Space, no Life or Death... Everything was in a state of primordial Chaos!

The next moment.

Endless Chaos surged toward Wang Xiao from all directions, threatening to completely submerge him!

Wang Xiao was completely unfazed. He fully unleashed his Ninefold Divine Domain and slammed it into this realm of Chaos!

RUMBLE!

Endless shockwaves rippled outward.

The surging, overwhelming power slammed into the world of Chaos, producing a blinding light.

It was as if Heaven and Earth were being reenacted, and all things were imbued with life.

A moment later.

Primordial Void’s figure reappeared. He looked at Wang Xiao, his voice tinged with emotion.

"Excellent. To think that after nearly a hundred thousand years, there is still a Saint who can reach such a height."

"Take this. It is the Body Worm Cutting Technique, one part of the Cutting the Three Corpses."

As he spoke, he gave a light wave of his hand, and a magnificent scroll appeared in Wang Xiao’s hands.

Wang Xiao used his Divine Thought to perceive the text within, and his eyes twitched.

He knew this was indeed the complete Body Worm Cutting Technique!

The first step of the Magic Technique recorded within was just like the one for Slaying the Divine Soul Worm: to reshape Heaven and Earth.

Only the second and third steps were different.

However, Wang Xiao was almost certain that as long as he successfully cultivated both the Body Worm Cutting Technique and the technique for Slaying the Divine Soul Worm, he could expand his Grotto Heaven to its limit of one light-year and attempt to break through to Perfect Tier Eight!
