Chapter 454 - 240: A Special Identity, an Enemy to the World from the Start
Wang Xiao felt his consciousness grow faint and obscure, as if he had entered some kind of space-time tunnel.
Countless images flickered all around him.
At a certain moment, his True Spirit completely lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in another world.
’Where am I?!’
Wang Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion showing within them.
He felt a tidal wave of energy surge toward him, nourishing his physical body.
As his consciousness returned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he curiously observed his surroundings.
He saw countless specks of light, like thousands of Stars, revolving around him.
And from time to time, they would sink into his body.
As these points of light entered him, he was surprised to find that his physical body and Divine Soul were improving at a visible rate.
Starting from a Tier Zero Life, he skyrocketed, reaching Tier Five Life in what felt like an instant!
Moreover, various Powers of the Great Dao seemed on the verge of materializing.
They appeared before his very eyes in a peculiar fashion.
’Am I... inside a rock?!’
Wang Xiao quickly understood his situation.
This time, he had traveled into the very stone he had just seen fall from the sky.
He had become a special being, born of nature itself!
’This is a pretty good start.’
’The sparkling energy all around is almost comparable to Curiosities. If I can absorb all of it, I should be able to return to being a Tier Eight Life in no time!’
Wang Xiao’s eyes shifted slightly.
He gave his status a quick look.
[Controller of the Book of Space-Time: Wang Xiao]
[Current Realm: Tier Five Life]
[Current Status: Consciousness Travel (True Spirit Projection)]
[Activated Talent: Analyze All Things]
[Dao Fruit Unity: Grotto Heaven (Awaiting Activation)]
[Residency Time: Two Thousand Years]
Wang Xiao looked at the final line for his residency time.
A full two thousand years!
It seemed that as long as he could safely get through this developmental period, he would have a high chance of encountering a Tier Ten Cultivation Technique.
Then, using that as a foundation, he could deduce the Tier Ten Cultivation Technique most suited for him.
Just as Wang Xiao was stretching his body, about to continue absorbing the sparkling energy around him to recover his strength...
RUMBLE—
A deafening crash suddenly echoed from outside the stone.
"Hm?!"
Wang Xiao furrowed his brow, his Divine Thought suddenly sweeping out to scan the area beyond the stone.
The next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw figures that looked like humans, dressed in all sorts of attire, fighting fiercely around the stone he occupied.
All kinds of Divine Techniques Great Daos, and even energies comparable to Star Power, raged in all directions.
It caused the very stone that was nurturing him to shake uncontrollably.
The starlight within it scattered, preventing him from absorbing it steadily.
’I’d forgotten about that.’
’A special lifeform like me would very likely attract the attention of most powerful experts.’
’Am I being targeted by everyone right now?!’
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow.
A creature nurtured by Heaven and Earth like this was even more precious than Curiosities.
Many of them were probably thinking of refining him into a treasure or a clone!
After all—
A naturally born Spiritual Embryo was the most suitable lifeform to be turned into an avatar.
’It seems that with great benefits come great risks. I guess I’m the enemy of the whole world right from the start!’
Wang Xiao sighed and shook his head.
However, he wasn’t too worried.
Right now, among these people, only a few had energy fluctuations comparable to a Tier Seven Life.
With his current strength, he should be able to handle it if he just absorbed a bit more of the starlight inside the stone!
’I’ll do it all in one go and activate my Grotto Heaven first. As long as it’s activated, even if I can’t beat them, I can definitely escape.’
Ignoring the fight outside, Wang Xiao immediately began circulating the One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones.
Although One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones was extremely powerful, the cost of using it was also immense.
Even when he was a Tier Eight Life, Wang Xiao couldn’t sustain it for very long.
However, he was fortunate. The large amount of energy condensed from the surrounding starlight was more than enough to support his use of One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones.
Moreover, as Wang Xiao circulated One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones, he discovered that the surrounding starlight, which had become difficult to absorb due to the battle raging outside, was now actively flowing into his body to be rapidly absorbed!
His physical body and Divine Soul also grew at a rate visible to the naked eye.
He grasped the intricacies of various Great Daos.
Almost instantly, he re-condensed the Dao Fruit inside his body.
Afterwards, the Dao Fruit acted as a catalyst, instantly fusing the Inner World and Purple Mansion within his body.
The Grotto Heaven, which had been awaiting activation, was brought to life in an instant!
Moreover, the Grotto Heaven he activated this time unexpectedly came with a power akin to a planetary consciousness, allowing him to control its evolution.
’This starlight is truly miraculous. It let me skip the step of having to refine a planetary consciousness.’
’However, the Cultivators of this world seem to have other cultivation methods. They don’t seem to need a planetary consciousness to break through to become a Tier Seven Life. I wonder how they manage that!’
Wang Xiao grew slightly curious about this world.
He used his Divine Thought to perceive the battle outside and discovered that their fighting styles also seemed quite unique.
Even the Tier Six Life forms seemed to faintly wield traces of Star Power!
’Ten thousand miles, a hundred thousand miles, a million miles, ten million miles...’
Wang Xiao sensed the expanding area of the Grotto Heaven within him, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
The rate of improvement was even faster than he had anticipated.
However, just as his Grotto Heaven was about to reach an area of a hundred million miles...
