Stronger from Earth

The appearance Wang Xuan transformed into was that of a tall, slender middle-aged man with two pointed goatee-like mustaches hanging at the corners of his mouth.

He leaned beside several Celestial Demons, curiously watching the captured Sword Cultivator and those few True Dragons.

The Cheating Snake felt that the Daoist beside him was friendly and immediately transformed into human form, patting Wang Xuan on the shoulder: "Hey, where are you from? I don’t think I’ve seen you before."

Wang Xuan, wearing a Taoist robe, cupped his hands in greeting: "This humble Daoist is the Dragon Wood Taoist, a Wood Spirit transformed from Dragon Wood, and I’m heading to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Dragon Wood is rare in the world and is a legendary mysterious wood species that grows at the reverse scale location of a Dragon Vein. Due to its absorption of dragon energy, its wooden body is covered with dragon scale-like patterns.

For this Spiritual Wood to evolve, apart from the growth in cultivation level, it needs to acquire the dragon energy of the Dragon Vein or the dragon energy of a True Dragon.

"So it’s the Dragon Wood Taoist, I’ve long admired you." Though the Cheating Snake had never met him before, it enthusiastically used human-like pleasantries.

It understood in its heart that this was also a demon yearning for the True Dragon’s bloodline, longing for evolution and transformation, and the two demons shared the same plight.

Wang Xuan gave him a Dragon Wood Leaf, a leaf of bluish-green color with an extremely tough yet spiritual surface, positioned between metal and Spiritual Wood. It’s an excellent material for making Spirit Talismans, capable of fetching a good price for Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones outside.

"Much appreciated, fellow Daoist."

Though they had only just met minutes ago, the Cheating Snake already considered Wang Xuan a long-time friend and promptly introduced him to several other brothers.

"Crab Boss! Brother Octopus! This is my newly acquainted friend, the Dragon Wood Taoist." The Great Sea Serpent had good connections, allowing Wang Xuan to smoothly infiltrate the enemy camp.

The dragon slaying event had a tremendous impact, with hundreds of Celestial Demons arranged here as witnesses. When they returned, the formation was indeed grand, making them the center of attention wherever they went.

Within just a few quarter hours, the demons arrived in front of a giant city. The enormous city hovered above the sea, emitting a faint spiritual light, stretching over a hundred miles.

It appeared as though anyone could freely enter and exit such an enormous city because there were no city walls, but in fact, there were only eight entrances.

If one attempted to smuggle or force their way in, they’d be discovered the moment they touched the light membrane, with predictable consequences.

In truth, the light membrane was not only present on the main plane, but also in multiple layers of space, each fortified. Even Wang Xuan was unwilling to test the methods of the Dragon Race’s Great Saints.

After all, this was akin to entering someone else’s home territory.

"It’s your first time visiting the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, isn’t it, Brother Dragon Wood? Don’t worry, with me, the Cheating Snake, as your host, you’ll definitely have smooth passage."

The Cheating Snake straightened its body, led the way in front of Wang Xuan and the others, confidently bypassed the guards, and then stood in front of a machine.

"I’ll vouch for you; register here and you’ll receive an identity card, allowing you to enter the City of Ten Thousand Beasts!" The Cheating Snake patted the machine.

Wang Xuan almost laughed out loud, thinking the other had some special method, but it turned out to be just this?

He shook his head and stepped forward to register. Actually, not just him, many new arrivals had to proactively register.

Having a guarantor did simplify the process significantly, at least removing the need for multiple layers of checks.

The enormous City of Ten Thousand Beasts is divided into two layers; the lower layer is the Water World, suitable for various Aquatic Races, while the upper layer is land with air, suitable for land creatures.

Both layers are further divided according to the Five Elements, allowing cultivators to live according to their needs.

The strong reside in the central region of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, while the weak can only live in the peripheral areas.

Just like these Celestial Demons, including the Cheating Snake, with decent strength and being affiliated with the Longyu Demon Saint, they dwell in the Central Ring, which is lesser than the Inner Ring but far superior to the Outer Ring.

Some newly intelligent demons live in the Outer Ring, frequently becoming lackeys to others just to survive. To act independently, one at least needs Earth Tier cultivation level.

The Cheating Snake pointed to the central region: "The core area of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts is there, and the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is hidden in that deep space, not visible in the current world."

Why does the City of Ten Thousand Beasts attract tens of thousands of Great Demons, with countless Earth Demons and Celestial Demons gathered here?

It’s because here there’s opportunity, organization, and protection.

The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is the sacred ground of the Dragon Race’s Great Saints, with sufficient power. Moreover, the Dragon Race is naturally amorous, with various races possessing dragon blood supporting them. This inclusiveness is unmatched by other strong races.

So here, not only are there Sea Races, but also numerous kinds of birds and beasts, countless furry and armored creatures.

"With the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest maintaining order, other Immortal Influences’ departments established here follow the rules, and the weak don’t need to fear being oppressed or plundered." The Cheating Snake understood the significance of this environment for Little Demons.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, where might is right, the strong possess everything while the weak can’t even claim their lives. But in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, where order is maintained, the weak’s interests are secured.

It’s precisely this assurance that has allowed many promising demons to survive their weak stages and grow steadily.

In this regard, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is of immeasurable merit.

Of course, the original intention of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest in establishing the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was naturally for profit. This is a place for mutual exchange and also a hub for information and personnel flow.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, which controls this platform, earns rental and commission profits until their hands are full, and others are grateful to them. This is real skill.

Wang Xuan looked up, and wherever his gaze reached, the life auras of all living beings floated in his eyes. There were millions of Little Demons, and there were tens of thousands of Celestial Demons.

True Tier beings, rarely seen among mortals, have gathered three to four hundred here, with varied bloodlines, only a few of which are True Dragons.

Phoenix, True Dragon, Profound Turtle, Qilin, White Tiger, and other races can be seen here, making the City of Ten Thousand Beasts truly live up to its name.

Following the team where Long Yu was, they walked to the central square, and then Long Yu detained the Sword Cultivator from Celestial Sword Mountain.

He loudly announced, "Our Ten Thousand Dragon Nest will publicly judge this cultivator who dared to slaughter dragons tomorrow, thoroughly investigating right and wrong!"

Such a public trial is a huge humiliation for Celestial Sword Mountain, but if that person is truly guilty, they would have to swallow their pride and accept it.

Wang Xuan mentally simulated future trends, secretly speculating on He Fang’s intentions, thinking: Long Yu and the others must have some reliance in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, so they can leverage its power, and what they want will soon be revealed tomorrow.

As an Alien Race, their ultimate goal is to gain benefits and weaken the Earth Civilization. It’s just that what exactly they want to do still needs to be observed further.

Wang Xuan was neither anxious nor afraid of losing control, as everything was under his command.

Thus, under the initiative of Cheating Snake and several other Celestial Demons, he began to tour the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Brother Dragon Wood, the charm of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, if you have Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, you can easily feel it."

Cheating Snake’s eyes shone brightly, and Crab Boss chuckled.

Crab Boss said, "Here, you can see the ultimate in worldly pleasures: gourmet food like the Food God Mansion, drinking like Eternal Life Drunk, and entertainment like Paradise. It can bring you unimaginable joy."

To broaden its horizons, it once entered the Paradise Mansion, only to leave even its shorts behind, spending everything it had.

But if you ask whether it regrets it, Crab Boss would definitely say no, because such an experience was truly marvelous.

Wang Xuan waved his hand, "With a loving wife at home, I won’t engage in these. I still have children to raise, so earning money or boosting my cultivation level is the real priority."

"A good man!" Cheating Snake gave a thumbs up.

He said, "Then I must recommend the Ten Thousand Races Arena, Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, and Famous Teacher Tower to you."

If you continuously win in the Ten Thousand Races Arena, the prize money will become increasingly generous. Once, someone attained a hundred victories and obtained a True Tier Top Grade Celestial Treasure.

Of course, those who can win a hundred times here are usually core seeds of various Immortal Influences, so there is no need to make a big show of it here.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion allows for buying and selling treasures, whether pills, materials, arrays, or weapons, they all can be traded.

The Grotto Heaven Blessed Land is a Cultivation Sacred Land, where the cultivation environment is rarely seen, although the fees are beyond imagination.

As for Famous Teacher Tower, it’s a place for obtaining Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts and seeking clarification and solutions to problems. It’s also a hot spot for business since every cultivator faces doubts during their cultivation.

"Eating, drinking, playing, and relaxing? Ten Thousand Races Arena, Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, Famous Teacher Tower?" Wang Xuan shook his head quietly. All these worldly pursuits and needs are already satisfied for him.

With his strength and status, what could he lack? With his resource reserves and the platform of Immortal Martial Mountain, everything below the Immortal is within reach.

Now, what he’s plotting is the Immortal path, the future of civilization, and the strategic game with the Alien Race.

The City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, its greatest resource is the Ten Thousand Beasts. Their existence itself is the greatest wealth.

’My Creation Domain requires devouring Spirit Plants, Spiritual Objects, Spirit Pills, and the blood of living beings to evolve.’

When it comes to the blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, is there any place easier to collect than here?

Once the blood of Ten Thousand Spirits is collected, the Creation Domain is bound to break through.

By then, Wang Xuan will reach the Void much faster, greatly enhancing his chances of entering the Tao Realm.

After bidding farewell to several Celestial Demons, Wang Xuan changed his identity and appearance, walking straight to the largest trading plaza. He casually spread a mat on the ground and then sat cross-legged.

Beside him stood a sign inscribed with: Seek and you shall find; present a gift, and you shall receive!

The trading plaza was filled with cultivators buying and selling goods. Wang Xuan’s bold sign immediately attracted dozens of cultivators.
