Stronger from Earth

This secret realm is approximately ten thousand kilometers in diameter, taking on a spherical shape with its center densely filled with Primordial Qi.

Primordial Qi sometimes transforms into flowers and grass, sometimes into beasts, and at other times, into mountains, rivers, and streams.

Evidently, this is a grotto heaven created by the Martial Immortal himself, in the exploration stage of evolving worlds.

According to several immortal-level classics by Diyang Wushuang, the Ancestral Martial Immortal’s cultivation level has surpassed the Immortal, yet has not reached the level where a small world could evolve within his body.

Demigod!

Wang Xuan’s mind flashed with this word.

This is a life level far stronger than an Immortal, yet not as powerful as a True God. As long as a complete world is evolved, one can possess the Power of the World, thus becoming a living World Origin.

If the Ancestral Martial Immortal achieves the position of True God, the entire Earth Mother Star will soon ascend to a Great Thousand World.

Once the Earth Mother Star becomes a complete dimension, the life birthed within will immediately ascend effortlessly, and all living beings’ cultivation levels will skyrocket.

By then, whether it’s the Abyss Realm, Spirit Realm, Mechanical Race, or the Four Realms Alliance, none will be able to challenge the Earth Civilization.

At the center of the grotto heaven, the Martial Immortal sat cross-legged, beckoning Wang Xuan over, and the two sat facing each other.

The Martial Immortal was right before him, yet no matter how Wang Xuan looked, this seemed like an ordinary scholar without any trace of a cultivator.

Yet everyone in Earth Civilization knows that Martial Immortal is an unparalleled force, capable of shattering stars; countless Immortals have fallen at his hands.

"Greetings, Ancestral Teacher," Wang Xuan greeted with a bow.

The Ancestral Teacher always moves as elusive as the Divine Dragon, walking among All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, tirelessly working for the future of Earth Civilization, so even Celestial Venerables find it difficult to see him.

Martial Immortal smiled and said, "Wang Xuan, I’m very glad Immortal Martial Mountain has you."

Earth Civilization has many people with great fortune, but few like Wang Xuan with such deep blessings.

Wang Xuan said, "I owe my accomplishments today to the nurturing of Immortal Martial Mountain."

Shaking his head, Martial Immortal said, "You carry great fortune, cherished by the World Origin; your future will surely influence the trajectory of Earth Civilization, not something one or one place can cultivate."

As the founder of Immortal Martial Mountain, he has witnessed the rise of Earth Civilization and led the growth of Immortal Martial Mountain.

The more than a hundred true inheritors of Immortal Martial Mountain are all known to him intimately.

All disciples have their own growth curves; only Wang Xuan shows leapfrog growth in life.

Immortal Martial Mountain has helped Wang Xuan, but most of the path has been forged by himself.

Wang Xuan felt gratitude but did not need to say much at this moment.

He said, "Ancestral Teacher, what is the urgent matter you called me for today?"

At this level, Wang Xuan knows his responsibility extends beyond his own life, beyond Black and White Mountain and Immortal Martial Mountain, even bearing the heavy burden of civilization’s development.

As a part of Earth Civilization, when the Mother Star flourishes, they sail smoothly; when it declines, they are merely eggs under an overturned nest.

Martial Immortal said, "I indeed have something important related to the ascension of the Mother Star to a Great Thousand World."

After speaking, he pointed his finger, causing the Primordial Qi within the Primordial Cave Heaven to fluctuate, and amidst the transformations, a mystical world appeared before Wang Xuan.

"This world is called Tao Realm, existing for hundreds of millions of years; in terms of level, it’s just a Middle Thousand World, hardly worth mentioning."

"But it constantly draws the Tao resonance from All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, silently becoming a world filled with Tao resonance."

"Over the years, the total amount of Tao Principles it harbors surpasses billions of True Immortals, which has extraordinary effects on the Mother Star. If it can be devoured, the Mother Star will soon ascend to a Great Thousand World."

Whether he ascends to True God, causing the Mother Star to advance to a Great Thousand World, or the Mother Star advances, enabling him to achieve True God, both are paths to resolving Earth Civilization’s current predicament.

No need to ask if it should be done, Wang Xuan straightforwardly said, "What can I do?"

Currently, Earth Civilization is coveted by many worlds; if the Mother Star cannot ascend to a Great Thousand World, it might not escape being devoured in the future.

If the ascension succeeds at a critical moment, whether it’s the Abyss Realm, Spirit Realm, or Four Realms Alliance, they will become the resources for Earth Civilization’s development.

Either live brilliantly or die heroically, Earth Civilization’s future is starkly polarized.

Faced with this life-and-death moment, Wang Xuan naturally is duty-bound to help the Mother Star ascend to a Great Thousand World.

"I wish for you to enter Tao Realm and become the master of Tao Realm, seizing its authority," Martial Immortal said decisively.

Once the Tao Realm authority is obtained, Earth Civilization will possess the key to open Tao Realm, which is also a weapon to devour Tao Realm.

Wang Xuan immediately understood; he was to infiltrate Tao Realm, rise as its leader, and then deceive Tao Realm’s trust, ultimately becoming the ringleader.

This task is not easy.

Martial Immortal said, "In the ten years of discovering Tao Realm, dozens from Earth Civilization have entered, including Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, and Immortal-level cultivators, but to date, there’s no news of them.

Currently, we have powerful enemies; at most, we can delay for ten more years, with time scarce."

Upon discovering Tao Realm, all Immortals of Earth Civilization were excited; capturing Tao Realm would cause both Mother Star and their cultivation level to leap.

But the existence of Tao Realm is too unique, entirely different from other worlds, causing explorers to get lost within.

They found Tao Realm too recently; given another century or two, Earth Powerhouses’ might would surely conquer it.

Yet with only a few years left, who can guarantee success? Who dares to risk Mother Star’s life and death?

Martial Immortal continued, "The Tao resonance of Tao Realm, for cultivators, is endless cultivation nourishment. Yet once entered, one becomes Tao Realm’s prisoner, never able to escape.

Upon entering, you must become Tao Realm’s master to usher Earth Will, or wait for me to break through to True God’s domain to rescue you."

Besides this, there’s no other way.

"Whether to do it, you decide yourself," Martial Immortal passed the choice to Wang Xuan.

Honestly, if given a choice, Martial Immortal wouldn’t wish for Wang Xuan to take this risk.

After all, undertaking this mission brings uncertainty of return.

Wang Xuan looked at Martial Immortal, understanding that in such limited time, to create a miracle, the choice must be him.

Owning the Tower of Space-Time, he crossed numerous realms within six years of cultivation, breaking the time constraints, becoming the top prodigy of the younger generation.

Even Diyang’s True Gods couldn’t find such an exceptional talent like him.

He himself is time’s miracle, a unique wonder born from Earth Civilization.

Who could better ensure capturing Tao Realm quickly than him?

Being the best candidate for Tao Realm’s conquest, there’s no hesitation. Wang Xuan asked, "When do I depart?"

"Timing is tight, but you can’t rush; you need thorough preparation before entering Tao Realm!" Martial Immortal said.

To conquer Tao Realm requires consolidating one’s Tao Fruit, clarifying the path of one’s Great Tao, and then suppressing myriad Tao with one’s own, becoming Tao Realm’s master.

This is already extremely difficult at the first step, and the second even harder to imagine, demanding the world’s strongest belief and talent.

Though Wang Xuan has walked this path for many years, he still needs further preparation to conquer Tao Realm.

"You have six months, during which you’ll have several opportunities to consume Otherworld Origins, after which I’ll send you into the Era Graveyard, then into Tao Realm."

Through the Gate of the World consuming Otherworld Origins, Wang Xuan’s cultivation level can grow rapidly.

The Era Graveyard is a secret realm filled with peril and opportunity; its environment is somewhat similar to Tao Realm, making it an ideal training ground for Wang Xuan currently.

"Six months?" Wang Xuan murmured.

Six months isn’t much time; he must conquer several Otherworlds to consume their Origins and explore the Era Graveyard.

Yet before these tasks, he must first find Long Ling and enter a mysterious place.

Six months, feeling quite rushed.
