Stronger from Earth

Wang Xuan patrolled all the way, and the alien species that sensed him fled at the news.

The name of the Immortal Martial Taoist was like thunder in the ears of the aliens because he was the top prodigy of the Earth Civilization.

Any alien who could kill this Immortal Martial Taoist would receive a reward that could help them advance to Half-Step Immortal!

Yes, Half-Step Immortal!

Wang Xuan’s value had risen absurdly high following his battle with Diyang Wushuang, and the bounty on him had increased exponentially.

Of course, for aliens below the Void, Wang Xuan was not their prey; instead, just hearing his name made them tremble with fear.

With their strength, how could they face the Immortal Martial Taoist? Encountering him was a certain death scenario.

Just like today, Wang Xuan easily slaughtered dozens of True Tier beings, and as for aliens below the True Tier, they were mowed down like weeds.

"Run, run, run!"

A large number of aliens were fleeing, mainly creatures from the Abyss Realm, along with some from the Spirit Race, Mechanical Race, Evolvers, and Wizards.

At this moment, they only regretted not having twenty thousand more legs; otherwise, how could their escape speed be so inadequate?

Those with profound cultivation levels fled quickly, but once they appeared, the human cultivators guarding a region would detect them.

One could see figures soaring into the sky, chasing and killing those aliens, with weapons in hand sworn to slay the enemy.

Some were killed before Wang Xuan even arrived, while others engaged in battle, resulting in delays, and a look from Wang Xuan had those True Tier aliens dead.

As for those below the Celestial Tier, they didn’t even sense Wang Xuan, let alone escape, becoming souls under the Heart Sword in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xuan’s figure resembled a deity, and with each alien he killed, a portion of merit gathered above his head, increasing his fortune and making him, already favored by World Origin, even more esteemed.

A half hour passed, and Wang Xuan circled the entire Divine Land, and now the merit behind him once again formed a giant sun.

Such merit, if he followed the Buddhist path, would be enough to promote him to a Ten Land Bodhisattva, comparable to a top Star Lord.

And his fortune was extremely abundant, turning red to purple, and thick enough to transform into a True Dragon.

In this cleansing operation, wherever Wang Xuan went, the high-level human beings basically knew of it, and this kind of wanton slaughter made their hearts delighted and the alien species’ necks cold.

And after hearing about Wang Xuan’s cleansing deeds in the Divine Land, the immortal influences of other states also dispatched disciples to take action.

It wouldn’t be long before those aliens who sneaked in during Earth Civilization’s relaxed defenses would be exterminated.

Constantly, True Immortals sent congratulations to Wang Xuan, even fostering connections, as Wang Xuan was in the limelight, with an immeasurable future.

Yet, Wang Xuan slightly frowned, finding it strange that not talking about that Desirer didn’t appear, according to his calculation of alien numbers in the early and late cleansing periods, about a quarter of the higher-level aliens disappeared without a trace.

Or rather, they were some of the enemies he had never seen or appeared, yet vanished without a trace.

...

Under the East Sea, beside a dozen True Dragons, hundreds of Celestial Tier Flood Dragons coiled, their vertical pupils staring at the Gate of the World.

Leading them, Long Yu stood before the Ziwei Immortal Monarch and Celestial River Bodhisattva, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "Fellow Taoists, it seems you don’t plan to let my Ten Thousand Dragon Nest participate in the development of Canglan Realm unless I speak the truth."

Since he suggested last time turning the three-party development into a four-party one, Celestial Sword Mountain and Precious Light Temple quickly dispatched a Star Lord-level cultivator each.

These two True Immortals were troublesome enough, yet additional manpower was dispatched?

This was a blatant display of distrust and outright refusal: Want a share? Do you have that qualification?

Even though the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was strong, occupying a vast sea area, in the ocean, it was one of the most powerful species.

Its strength might be on par with Precious Light Temple but was definitely inferior to Celestial Sword Mountain, let alone compared to Immortal Martial Mountain.

The three major forces of the Divine Land sitting at one table were enough to sway the entire world, and who could get on the stage if they didn’t want them?

Even the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest couldn’t.

Having missed a move in the game, Long Yu was farther from his goal; not to mention sharing a piece, even if the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest worked for free, Ziwei Immortal Monarch and others wouldn’t trust it.

Ziwei Immortal Monarch asked, "Long Yu, if you have something to say, say it quickly; after you speak, you should return to your Ten Thousand Dragon Nest."

This statement almost directly drove them away.

Long Yu was furious, not knowing why these human True Immortals were so sensitive, whether it was keen or neurotic—it all made him headache.

He lowered his noble dragon body, lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "I won’t hide it from you any longer, as you know, our Ten Thousand Dragon Nest’s True Dragons are mostly born in water, cultivating in Water Techniques.

Although the Canglan Realm’s upper limit is only the Celestial Immortal, it is a rare Water World, and inside nurtures the Profound Water Pearl that can purify the bloodline of aquatic beings.

We wanted to participate in the development of the Canglan Realm to obtain the Profound Water Pearl to strengthen our Ten Thousand Dragon Nest."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Celestial River Bodhisattva’s face, but some vigilance arose in his heart: Is this truly heartfelt honesty, or are they retreating to advance to numb us?

Leaving aside how Long Yu knew about the Profound Water Pearl in the Canglan Realm, after all, even those guarding here weren’t aware of it.

Just speaking of this matter, why didn’t Long Yu say so from the start?

The Earth Civilization is at a crucial stage, the Profound Water Pearl’s effect on human cultivators is far less than on the Dragon Race; the Profound Water Pearls obtained from developing the Canglan Realm, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest can completely choose to trade.

Would the three parties refuse if they asked? Would they overcharge them?

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest still has plenty of resources needed by human cultivators!

In the big picture and in terms of its interests, becoming hostile offers no benefits at all.

"I see!" Ziwei Immortal Monarch nodded, "It seems we misunderstood you. Alas, if you had said so earlier, how could we have doubted you?"

Long Yu replied apologetically, "We judged you with a villain’s heart."

Both sides had another round of cordial conversation, appearing harmonious on the surface, but Long Yu and the True Dragons behind him conversed continuously, as did Ziwei Immortal Monarch, Celestial River Bodhisattva, and the two Star Lords behind the scenes.

Finally, Long Yu suggested, "Then may we participate in this Canglan Realm development? Rest assured, we will not slack in our efforts, and as for the final reward, we only require the Profound Water Pearls, not a penny more."

Ziwei Immortal Monarch apologized, "It was our misunderstanding before; how can we make you work hard for the Canglan Realm development?

Rest assured, all the Profound Water Pearls obtained from developing the Canglan Realm this time, we will gift entirely to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, in the friendship of all the human race and the Dragon Race!"

When these words were spoken, all four True Immortals from Celestial Sword Mountain and Precious Light Temple laughed heartily, as this was indeed a generous gesture.

To give a flower is to have fragrance left on one’s hands.

Giving the Profound Water Pearls to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to aid its development and growth is surely an act of camaraderie.

Long Yu and his Dragon Race behind him looked somewhat embarrassed, but seeing Ziwei Immortal Monarch laugh heartily, they also followed along.

They thanked incessantly, "The fellow Daoists are generous! We thank you all here."

They thanked and laughed simultaneously.

Yet, their smiles seemed faintly awkward no matter how one looked at them.
