Stronger from Earth

Wang Xuan stood in the deep space, observing everything that was happening here.

The actions of the beings from the Canglan Realm were completely unguarded against him, allowing him to observe and strategize at will.

Because the strong individuals in the Canglan Realm had no idea that a human had entered this world.

Who would have thought, Wang Xuan could sneak in here? After all, the Realm Gate had long been sealed by the Saint Master with the Trident.

The only being aware was the Fifth Holy Spirit who had brought him in; not only would she not report him, but she supported his actions wholeheartedly.

The Canglan Divine Sect in the Canglan Realm had 108 divine temples, each with their own Holy Land.

In the Holy Lands, secrets of the Canglan Divine Sect were sealed, be it resources for cultivation, weapon treasures, or cultivation technique inheritances.

The most precious among them was the core of the Canglan Divine Statue — the Divine Pearl.

The Divine Statue was a carrier of faith; countless aquatic beings’ worship, prayers, and sacrifices would converge upon the statue.

However, the statue could only store a limited Power of Faith; if not transferred, the excess Power of Faith would dissipate and vanish, something the Canglan Divine Sect would certainly not allow.

Thus, many thousands of years ago, the Canglan True God crafted 108 Divine Pearls to store the excess Power of Faith.

The Divine Pearls were kept in the Holy Lands beneath the Divine Statue, naturally secured, requiring verification by both the Archbishop and the Holy Spirit for entry each time.

The Fifth Holy Spirit walked into the Holy Land, seeing the array of treasures neatly arranged, thousands of treasures that were either foundations from the past, cultivated items, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures excavated from all over Canglan, or offerings from followers over millions of years.

According to the sect’s rules, the use of these treasures was standardized. Followers and adherents of great contribution could be awarded them, they could be used during disasters, war could necessitate their use.

’If these treasures were offered to the master, I suppose a reward would be bestowed upon me?’

The Fifth Holy Spirit had guarded these treasures for millions of years and never been tempted, yet now found herself restless.

Wang Xuan’s will directly reached into her spirit: "Do not act rashly."

Because the Saint Master at the Realm Gate was monitoring the Fifth Holy Spirit through the Saint Master’s Crown, observing her every move, evidently suspicious of her.

The Fifth Holy Spirit trembled with fright: "Does the Saint Master suspect me?"

If her undercover status was exposed, the master’s plan would all be in vain, consequences so grave she could not bear.

"No, he surveils all adherents’ actions, not just you." Wang Xuan said calmly.

The Saint Master was highly suspicious, trusting none of the followers and adherents, especially the five Holy Spirits.

The Fifth Holy Spirit breathed a sigh of relief; though the Saint Master had ruled Canglan for millions of years, indeed cautious enough, yet still no match for Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan continuously scanned everything in the Holy Land, after understanding the material and energy structure of these treasures, he quietly crafted replicas, then replaced each original treasure one by one.

His replicas were both true and false, seeming and functioning as if nothing were amiss, yet just a facade.

Moreover, at key moments, he could control these replicas to explode.

One could say, in an instant he stole all treasures here, leaving behind a pile of bombs instead.

The most precious Divine Pearls, Wang Xuan did not act rashly, as he discovered these pearls not only were components of Immortal Treasures but also contained True God’s Divine Power.

’Should I take them now and leave replicas, or hold back and wait for the key moment to act?’

The power of the Divine Pearls was somewhat mystical; Wang Xuan worried a single misoperation could startle those guarding them, causing all plans to crumble.

Moreover, another Holy Spirit would inspect all the Divine Pearls, placing them inside the statue for summoning the Canglan True God’s True God’s Seal.

The risk among them was self-evident.

After some thought, Wang Xuan decided to leave the Divine Pearls.

He imprinted a seal within the pearls, so at the critical moment he could easily steal them, even devour all statues.

By then, even if discovered, he wouldn’t worry about affecting his actions.

’The treasures in the Holy Land, statues, the sea of Power of Faith within the Divine Pearls, and the pearls themselves, once devoured, the Tower of Space-Time would surely activate its second layer!’

Wang Xuan was patient, not rushing for a moment, after all, the conquest of the entire Canglan Realm was in his hands.

The Fifth Holy Spirit took out the mysterious key in her hand, a black wooden stick inscribed with mysterious symbols; upon inserting it into the lock hole in the center of the altar, the entire altar lit up.

This altar connected to the Earth Vein of the Haina Region, not only extracting energy from the vein to supply the Canglan Grand Array, but also covering the entire Haina Region through this connection.

Wang Xuan’s will extended downwards through the altar, beginning to explore this point of the Canglan Grand Array.

Planned in the era of the True God, the Canglan Grand Array, truly worthy as the creation of a Divine Level being, its connection to the Earth Vein so tight, even Wang Xuan praised it.

What amazed him further was that the foundation of this grand array was not at this altar, but deeper in the subterranean space.

If the foundation of each point of the array was deep underground, even if the entire surface of the Canglan Realm sustained heavy damage, the operation of the Canglan Grand Array would remain unaffected.

Wang Xuan couldn’t help but admire the Canglan True God for leaving behind an array not only of immense power but also safety and stability that exceeded imagination.

Additionally, he speculated within his mind that the connection points of the deep subterranean space might hold unimaginable secrets.

’The entire grand array, almost embedded with the Earth’s veins of the Canglan Realm, were the array truly activated, none below Immortal could do anything!’

’However, this also presents an opportunity for me; through the Canglan Grand Array, energy extraction by the Tower of Space-Time is extremely easy.’

Wang Xuan considered directly destroying the Canglan Grand Array to be a pity, thinking using it as an energy pool for the Tower of Space-Time would be an excellent choice.

Activating the points of the Canglan Grand Array was a highly complex task, it took the Fifth Holy Spirit and the Archbishop one or two hours to complete.

During this time, Wang Xuan had fully mastered the array point and left his own measures behind.

With a mere thought, he could cause the activated array to paralyze, completely losing offensive and defensive capabilities.

Once the task was complete, the Fifth Holy Spirit and the Archbishops continued to the next divine temple; for them, their work was just beginning, with much busyness ahead.

Before leaving, Wang Xuan took the opportunity to inspect the foundation offerings of aquatic beings in the Haina Region; it was made of the bones of a mysterious creature and a giant conch.

According to the estimation of energy fluctuations, they barely qualified as Half-Step Immortal level treasures, capable of unleashing power a few times after being nourished and charged for several million years.

’Your clan leader is just barely at the Grotto Void Realm, holding such dangerous items—what for? Let me keep them for you.’

Wang Xuan stealthily took the two treasures without any detection, leaving corresponding replicas behind, and then departed smoothly.
