I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

The Daoist let out a breath:

"Tier Twelve Life has leaped out of the River of Time. They are called the Supreme!"

"Tier Thirteen Life can control the River of Time, assimilating it into their very being. They are known as the Immortal!"

"Immortal beings like us are all pursuing transcendence. As long as we transcend, we will no longer fear the Silent Extinction of the Cosmos."

"And the secret to transcendence lies within the Unobservable Cosmos!"

"This is also why we Immortals seek to obtain the Cosmic Star Crystal."

A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes:

"With your strength, you must have been to the Unobservable Cosmos long ago, haven’t you?!"

He could sense that this Daoist didn’t seem overly eager for the Cosmic Star Crystal.

’This crystal is basically the key to the Unobservable Cosmos. For him to show such a lack of interest can only mean he’s completely confident in his ability to enter it. In fact, given his Realm, he must have gone more than once.’

The Daoist spoke:

"That’s right. I have lived through nine Cosmic Eras."

"So, I am quite familiar with the Unobservable Cosmos!"

Nine Cosmic Eras... Wang Xiao was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask:

"Can you tell me, what exactly is the Unobservable Cosmos?!"

He knew that the Meteors responsible for creating the Extraordinary Starry Skies had come from the Unobservable Cosmos.

You could say the birth of every High Tier Life in this region of space was inextricably linked to the Unobservable Cosmos.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Unobservable Cosmos was the source of all that is extraordinary.

Therefore, Wang Xiao was also extremely curious about what the Unobservable Cosmos was actually like.

The Daoist shook his head and said:

"If I said I don’t know what the Unobservable Cosmos looks like either, would you believe me?!"

Wang Xiao’s brow furrowed, and he couldn’t help but ask:

"What do you mean by that?!"

The Daoist explained:

"I mean it literally. No being that enters the Unobservable Cosmos can remember what it truly looks like."

"Otherwise, why would it be called unobservable? It is unfathomable, untouchable, and incomprehensible."

"Even if you enter, you won’t remember a single thing about it unless you meet the right conditions!"

Wang Xiao’s mouth hung slightly agape:

"There’s such a thing? Then what are the conditions?"

’This Daoist was a Tier Thirteen Life. For even a being of that level to enter the Unobservable Cosmos and come out with no memory of it... that was truly terrifying! It also meant the Unobservable Cosmos had to be hiding a colossal secret!’

The Daoist chuckled:

"If I knew, would I still be sitting here?"

"However, it’s most likely that by reaching the Transcendence Realm—the level above Tier Thirteen Life—one might be able to retain information about the Unobservable Cosmos!"

Wang Xiao’s lips tightened:

"Thank you for your guidance!"

’He didn’t know whether the Daoist was telling the truth. However, he was grateful that the Daoist had been patient enough to explain so much to him. As for the secrets of the Unobservable Cosmos, he could find out for himself once he got his hands on the Cosmic Star Crystal. Of course, all of that would have to wait until after he participated in the Myriad Realms Grand Trial and broke through to become a Tier Twelve Life. Only then would he even consider exploring it.’

The Daoist spoke:

"This isn’t your true body. The pass for the Myriad Realms Grand Trial must be with it. I assume your true body will be participating, then?!"

Wang Xiao didn’t try to hide it:

"Yes."

The Daoist continued:

"With your strength, reaching the core of the Trial Land shouldn’t be a problem."

"When the time comes, I hope you will look after the disciples of Wuji Mountain."

Wang Xiao replied with a cupped fist salute:

"If the disciples of Wuji Mountain run into trouble, I will do my best to help, as long as it’s within my power!"

The Daoist nodded slightly:

"Good. As for the rest, there’s not much more I can do to help. Take this Token. With it, you can come and go from Wuji Mountain as you please."

With a gentle wave of his hand, a yellow Token appeared in Wang Xiao’s hand, engraved with a complex, mystical-looking character.

’Wang Xiao was surprised by the Daoist’s generosity in allowing him to stay on Wuji Mountain and even go wherever he pleased. This was essentially the treatment reserved for a Core Disciple!’

Wang Xiao didn’t refuse and accepted the Token:

"Thank you."

’His avatar could share memories with his true body, so everything he saw and learned here would be instantly relayed back. Since he had such a great opportunity to get in touch with an extraordinary power of the Cosmos, Wang Xiao certainly wasn’t going to pass it up! His true body had to return to Earth anyway, so it was perfect to leave his avatar here.’

The Daoist waved his hand:

"I’m merely forming a good connection with you. It’s nothing, really."

"Whether you can break through in the future is still up to you. There’s nothing more I can help you with."

"I’ve already had a residence arranged for you. You may go."

Wang Xiao didn’t linger. He gave the Daoist another cupped fist salute and departed.

Just as he stepped out of the great hall, another Daoist approached and led him off, flying toward a distant mountain peak.

Though called a mountain, Wuji Mountain seemed infinitely vast; it felt as if one could fly forever and never reach its end.

Its sprawling peaks could likely hold the entire human population of a starry sky!

...

「Meanwhile, inside the Cultivation Land.」

Sensing his avatar’s status, a glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes:

’I didn’t expect this avatar’s mission to go so smoothly. It actually managed to settle down right on Wuji Mountain.’

’Now I can return to Earth without worry. With the information coming from my avatar, I’ll be able to make it back in time for the start of the Myriad Realms Grand Trial!’

Wang Xiao’s goal for this journey across the starry sky had been achieved, and it was about time to go back.

He knew full well that Earth was still in peril.

The appearance of a Cosmic Star in Earth’s region of space was bound to attract numerous powers from across the Cosmos, all vying for its Star Crystal.

To obtain the Cosmic Star Crystal, one first needed to acquire the Star Core of that region of space.

The Star Core was the ultimate source of power within a given starry sky.

To acquire the Star Core, one had to plunder the energy from all the Living Stars and use it as bait!

This energy included not just the planets themselves, but also the lifeforms inhabiting them.

In other words, these beings coming to Earth’s region of space to seize the Cosmic Star Crystal would certainly try to get the Star Core first.

In that case, all life on Earth would be sacrificed by them!

With the power of Gu Tiandu and the other Tier Nine Life forms, they would be no match for the beings arriving from the Outer Starry Sky.

On Earth, Wang Xiao had family and friends.

Wang Xiao couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

’By Earth’s time, I’ve been away for almost a year. That’s longer than I expected.’

’It’s time to go back!’

Wang Xiao didn’t wait any longer. He left the Trial Land immediately, tearing through layers of Space as he sped toward Earth’s region of the cosmos.

...

「Within Earth’s starry sky.」

SHRRRIP— SHRRRIP— SHRRRIP—

The spatial barrier of the starry sky was torn open, layer by layer.

At almost the exact same moment,

one after another, strange beings stepped out from the Void.

Among these beings, there were humanoid figures, beast-like figures, and figures shrouded in white light.

Every single one of them radiated an immense and powerful aura.

The weakest among them was a Tier Ten Life!

Vast waves of Divine Thought suddenly surged out from these figures, instantly blanketing the entire starry sky.

"We’re lucky this time. It’s a backwater system. The strongest being here is only Tier Nine, and a low-grade one at that!"

"Perfect. They’ll serve as ingredients for our bait!"

"Everyone, it seems we’ve all come from the Outer Starry Sky. As for who gets the Star Core... it’s every being for themselves!"

These beings surprisingly had no intention of fighting each other.

Instead, their forms flickered as they flew off toward the Life Planets in the system.

The humanoid beings among them flew toward Earth’s Star System!

Their speed was extremely fast. A single step covered hundreds of millions of light-years.

It only took about a quarter of an hour.

These humanoid figures appeared in the sky above Earth!
