Stronger from Earth

Preparations for tens of thousands of people continued, but there was no need to rush. They watched the True Immortals with furrowed brows, feeling at a loss.

Wang Tiantian, having experienced such matters many times, said, "Developing the Otherworld often lasts years or even decades, with countless issues arising; delays are common."

For cultivators, time is never sufficient, and any extra time can be easily filled.

"What Senior Sister said is very true." A small group of teenagers nodded repeatedly, "Senior Sister, what should we do during this time?"

They were young, with cultivation levels only at Body Refining Seventh Realm or Human Immortal, while Senior Sister Wang, as a pupil of the Immortal Martial Taoist, was not only beautiful and intelligent but also a top genius in the Grotto Void Realm, so they naturally listened to her.

"Let me take the lead and host a Martial Arts tournament." Wang Tiantian said with interest.

Honestly, although she became the pupil of the Immortal Martial Taoist, the time was short, and she was not knowledgeable regarding the cultivation techniques and skills of the various forces.

By observing these schools’ True Inheritors, she could learn a lot.

She led a group of direct lineage True Inheritors, grouping them according to cultivation levels, drawing lots and beginning to match for battles.

In a turbulent era, one of the core purposes of cultivation is engaging in combat. Cultivators who do not battle have difficulty ensuring their safety.

Wang Tiantian said, "Prepare for battle as if your opponent is a life-and-death rival. Do not worry about safety issues; I’m here to handle that."

"Battle is a process of self-examination; all issues and all intellectual advantages will be fully revealed in battle."

"Combat also stimulates one’s potential. Without a fight, you cannot imagine what level you can achieve!"

Cultivation is never about working behind closed doors; often, you need to discuss and compare with others to discover your own shortcomings.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, understanding that a match could bring considerable pressure, under which their rate of progress would be unexpectedly fast.

As the contest began, people brandished swords and exchanged blows, while those off-stage analyzed and predicted, busy and exhilarated.

Often after a battle’s outcome was decided, those off stage were more excited than those participating, as Wang Tiantian led them in synthesizing and summarizing the combats, absorbing their essence.

Review and optimization are the best ways to grow.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Xuan couldn’t help but nod.

Then, he turned his attention to the Realm Gate, ready to tackle the issue.

Wang Xuan controlled Creation Rule Runes, enveloping a group of Immortal Source and re-entered the Gate of the World. At this moment, within the Realm Gate, turbulence persisted, as Source Power, rules, and even Law Chains deviated from their original trajectories and danced about.

"According to Ziwei Immortal Monarch’s predictions, the Realm Gate would take over ten days to calm down, but if I intervene, it should be resolved within three days."

Wang Xuan summoned the Tower of Space-Time.

Earlier, hindered by others present, he did not use the power of the Tower of Space-Time, yet even alone, he matched all the other True Immortals combined.

Now with the Tower of Space-Time in hand, he feared the speed of stabilizing the Realm Gate would be ten times, even a hundred times faster.

Within the Realm Gate, the Tower of Space-Time showed a yearning for high-level power; its body trembled slightly, autonomously generating a swirling vortex.

"Don’t be hasty; today I’ll let you feast to your heart’s content!" Wang Xuan caressed the Tower of Space-Time in his hand.

This supreme artifact with boundless power had accompanied him throughout his entire rise, providing undeniable assistance.

Once absorbing sufficient high-level Source Power, Rule Runes, Law powers, Immortal materials, even the core of a True God, the Tower of Space-Time would gradually repair itself and exert greater power.

The Realm Gate’s environment was essentially a vast dining table for the Tower of Space-Time.

A chaotic Source Power cloud floated over, exuding a dangerous and unstable aura. Wang Xuan manipulated the Tower of Space-Time to envelop it, instantly devouring the Source Power cloud.

Chaotic Source Power clouds, during the devouring process by the Tower of Space-Time, were pulverized into minuscule particles, then absorbed by the tower’s body.

Layers upon layers of jade-colored Tower of Space-Time soared remarkably high, sparkling brilliantly, displaying an octagonal shape with majestic and commanding Divine Beasts perched on its eaves.

After devouring this group of Source Power, the first layer of the tower solidified somewhat, and the petrified bodies of the two or three Divine Beasts began transforming into flesh.

"As long as the first layer is activated, these Divine Beasts can be summoned for my use!" Wang Xuan received the information transmitted by the Tower of Space-Time.

His Tower of Space-Time, though incomplete, allowed him control over the power of time, with each layer activated presenting numerous abilities.

The first layer could summon Divine Beasts, sealed within by the Tower of Space-Time’s master thousands of years ago, existing in a state of immortality without spiritual sense.

Summoned, these Divine Beasts became tireless, fearless combat machines, not only powerful but also able to return to the first layer of the Tower for repair once shattered.

The second layer was an endless purgatory; imprisoning enemies within allowed the Tower of Space-Time to subjugate them, imprinting them with its brand.

No matter how powerful a creature, within the Tower’s purgatory, they would obey the Tower Master. Once branded, their life and death would be subject to the Tower Master’s will, and their thoughts, visions, and actions would be fully known.

The third layer, the Eye of Space-Time, utilized the Tower of Space-Time as a vantage point to observe All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, making it impossible for any rebel to escape this pair of eyes.

...

The capabilities of the Tower of Space-Time are ridiculously strong, testifying to the incredible might and prestigious identity of its creator.

Wang Xuan felt that the Tower of Space-Time almost encompassed the entire Celestial Court’s functionalities, while the Tower Master was akin to the supreme Jade Emperor, the Emperor of the Immortals!

However, to unleash the Tower’s full functional potential, not only vast startup energy was required, but Wang Xuan also needed profound cultivation realm.

Nonetheless, finding the Tower of Space-Time’s body was paramount!

After all, he only possessed the artifact spirit of the Tower, while the tower body had long disappeared.

Wang Xuan kept this matter in mind, preparing to address it once his cultivation improved and the Earth was free of danger.

Within the Realm Gate space, bouts of Source Power flew about, some freshly escaped from proper trajectories, some chaotic from collisions and integrations, some from the Canglan Realm.

Earth’s inherent Source Power clouds were returned to their original paths by Wang Xuan, while chaotic Source Power and those from the Canglan Realm were fair game.

Within the Realm Gate space, chaotic Source Power veered about, occasionally causing explosions.

If the Celestial River Bodhisattva, Ziwei Immortal Monarch, and others were there, they would likely temporarily avoid the scene to prevent harm.

Yet, Wang Xuan approached the chaotic Source Power, driving the Tower of Space-Time forward with enveloping motion, converting even the most turbulent Source Power into sustenance for the Tower.

With each bout of Source Power consumed, the first layer of the tower solidified a bit more, prompting Wang Xuan to work even harder.
