Chapter 509 - 266: Illuminating the Past, Piercing the Future
Alternatively, a hundred years for him in this starry sky might only be a single day back on Earth.
He couldn’t perceive the flow of time in this starry sky, so he had no choice but to ask the Book of Space-Time.
Soon, the Book of Space-Time transmitted a message:
"This starry sky has already lost its Star Core, so its flow of time has become extremely fast."
"Compared to Earth, a thousand years passing in this starry sky is roughly equivalent to one day passing on Earth!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
’So this is an excellent starry sky for Cultivation.’
After all, the flow of time in the Cultivation Land was synchronized with this starry sky.
In other words, he could practice his Cultivation for a thousand years in the Cultivation Land, and only a single day would pass on Earth.
He could absolutely reach the Nine Times of Ultimate Sublimation in the Cultivation Land before leaving.
Then, even if he ran into those four mantis-like lifeforms from the Myriad Laws Pavilion, he would stand a fighting chance.
’But speaking of which, what exactly is a Star Core? Why do those lifeforms from the Myriad Laws Pavilion want to seize it?!’
Wang Xiao asked.
From his brief contact with the Eternal Night Monarch and the others, he had already learned something.
The four mantis-like lifeforms were hunting the Eternal Night Monarch to snatch the Star Core he possessed.
For powerful Tier Eleven Life experts to fight so fiercely, even to the death...
...this Star Core had to be something extraordinary.
Its value might even surpass that of Marvels!
The Book of Space-Time transmitted a message:
"A Star Core is the nucleus of a starry sky. To acquire one, you must first obtain bait to fish for it!"
"Every Living Star can become bait to fish for a Star Core. The amount of the Star Core you can fish for is determined by the life force contained within the Living Star."
"Once you acquire a Star Core, you can use its power to enter the interior of a Cosmic Star, plunder Star Crystals more quickly, and even shield yourself from some of the dangers!"
"..."
As Wang Xiao processed the information from the Book of Space-Time, his brows twitched slightly.
According to the Book of Space-Time, the Star Core was the most fundamental energy of a starry sky.
It normally remained hidden in the depths of space.
To get a Star Core, one had to plunder the energy of a Living Star to create bait!
This so-called "energy of a Living Star" included the countless creatures living on it.
That was why the Eternal Night Monarch was fighting those mantis-like lifeforms to the death.
From the moment the mantis-like lifeforms decided to obtain the Star Core, the conflict between the two sides had become irreconcilable.
’Now that a Cosmic Star has appeared in Earth’s starry sky, if the Myriad Laws Pavilion or other organizations sense it, Earth will likely face a cataclysmic disaster!’
Wang Xiao’s brow suddenly shot up.
He had every reason to suspect that these powerful lifeforms from the Outer Starry Sky could sense the Cosmic Star’s existence.
’Perhaps Earth has already been exposed!’
These powerful lifeforms from the Outer Starry Sky would definitely try to seize the Star Core in order to obtain Star Crystals.
To seize more of the Star Core, they would have to use the energy of every Living Star in this region of space as bait.
The energy of a Living Star included the star itself, as well as the life living on it.
And Gu Tiandu and the other Tier Nine Life would be powerless to resist the experts from the Outer Starry Sky.
’Forget it. It’s too late to go back now. I might as well stay here, complete my Ultimate Sublimation, and try to deduce the Cultivation Technique for breaking through to Tier Eleven Life.’
’Otherwise, with my current strength, I still wouldn’t be able to contend with the powerful lifeforms from the Outer Starry Sky even if I returned!’
Wang Xiao quickly calmed his mind.
He was already near Wuji Mountain. The journey back would take far longer than reaching the mountain.
Therefore, he planned to use this starry sky’s accelerated time flow to increase his strength as much as possible.
He would then make a trip to Wuji Mountain and see if he could gain any more benefits.
If there was nothing to be gained, it wouldn’t be too late to return to Earth then!
Then, even if he was no match for them, he could still take Gu Tiandu and everyone else from Earth and escape to another starry sky.
It was the best option he had for now.
’Strength. Only strength is the foundation of one’s existence. Nothing else matters!’
Wang Xiao took out the Chaos Cyan Lotus from within his body and plucked a blue Lotus Seed from it.
This was the third-to-last Lotus Seed of the Chaos Cyan Lotus. It would be of immense help for the Ultimate Sublimation of the Creation Divine Power within his body.
BUZZ!
The blue Lotus Seed emitted a burst of intense energy fluctuations, which suddenly enveloped Wang Xiao.
In an instant, Wang Xiao felt the Rune Heaven and Earth inside him begin to tremble violently, as if cheering with excitement.
Without a hint of hesitation, he swallowed the blue Lotus Seed.
RUMBLE—
It was like the dawn of creation.
Wang Xiao felt the Rune Heaven and Earth within him begin to shake violently and expand without end.
Along with it, his Self-Enlightenment Light seemed to undergo a great sublimation as well.
’So the subsequent Ultimate Sublimations are related to the Self-Enlightenment Light.’
’That’s right. My physical body and Divine Soul have already reached their limits.’
’Next, I can only enhance my Self-Enlightenment Light and certain special, unseen powers!’
A realization dawned on Wang Xiao. The Rune Heaven and Earth inside him surged, rapidly absorbing the power of the blue Lotus Seed.
For the time that followed, Wang Xiao remained in the Cultivation Land, immersing himself in his Cultivation.
The energy within the blue Lotus Seed was simply too immense.
Even with his current strength, Wang Xiao had to digest and absorb it bit by bit.
After all, aside from the enhancement it received when he was Cutting the Three Corpses...
...his Self-Enlightenment Light hadn’t changed at all.
This Ultimate Sublimation specifically targeted the Self-Enlightenment Light.
It would allow his Self-Enlightenment Light to transcend his physical body and Divine Soul, growing increasingly stable.
Even if his body and Divine Soul perished, his Self-Enlightenment Light would remain completely unaffected.
And as the energy of the blue Lotus Seed was released...
...Wang Xiao felt the entire starry sky presenting itself before his eyes with increasing clarity.
His Self-Enlightenment Light was also soaring.
It would no longer be so easily influenced.
’So that’s it. The Myriad Laws Pavilion mantis-lifeform’s Tribulation Technique and the Eternal Night Monarch’s Eternal Night Technique both targeted the Self-Enlightenment Light. No wonder I was powerless to resist.’
’The Self-Enlightenment Light represents a person’s past and future, and that’s precisely what the Tribulation Technique and Eternal Night Technique attack.’
’To resist them, my Self-Enlightenment Light must be able to illuminate the past and perceive the future!’
’This is the Magic Technique required to break through to Tier Eleven Life!’
As his Self-Enlightenment Light grew increasingly powerful...
...Wang Xiao combined this with his prior analysis of the Magic Techniques used by the mantis lifeform and the Eternal Night Monarch.
He now had a rough goal for his future cultivation path!
’Cultivation in the later stages is really about gaining a clearer understanding of the various Origin Great Daos, which in turn gives rise to more profound abilities!’
Wang Xiao knew that his previous breakthrough had given him a more precise grasp of Space.
This breakthrough, however, was giving him a clearer perception of Great Daos like Destiny, Time, and others!
Just like that, Wang Xiao continued to refine the Lotus Seed from the Chaos Cyan Lotus, letting his Self-Enlightenment Light constantly transform and undergo Ultimate Sublimation while he deduced his subsequent Cultivation Technique.
Time flew by in the Cultivation Land.
In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed!
Of course, this was only ten thousand years in the Cultivation Land.
According to the time dilation, only ten days had actually passed on Earth.
RUMBLE—
A brilliant beam of purple light shot toward the heavens.
The entire Cultivation Land shook violently, sending out wave after wave of searing shockwaves.
The shockwaves spread across countless light-years, seeming to reach everywhere.
They even transcended Time and Space, illuminating the past and piercing through the future!
’The Nine Times of Ultimate Sublimation... it’s done!’
Wang Xiao rose to his feet, feeling as if he had been completely reborn.
His entire being was suffused with Chaos Qi.
He stood in place, yet seemed both real and illusory.
It was as if he had arrived from the past or the future!
No external force could interfere with him any longer!
This was a power that transcended the physical body and the Divine Soul—the result of the Self-Enlightenment Light’s ultimate transformation!
It was as if both the past and the future were now within his grasp.
’Creation from Nothingness... an Undying Body... So this is the secret of Tier Eleven Life!’
Over these ten thousand years, Wang Xiao had naturally done more than just achieve Ultimate Sublimation!
He had also grasped a portion of the key Magic Technique for breaking through to Tier Eleven Life!
