Stronger from Earth

Chapter 381 - 380: Tree of Life

Cultivators seek the mysteries of the world, know the many truths of the cosmos, and master the rules of operation. The more they understand this world, the more they can harness these rules to strengthen themselves.

Soul, flesh body, magical power, all improve bit by bit with the steps of cultivation, which is the process of evolution and transformation.

The soul gives rise to Spiritual Power, transforms into the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit of an Earth Immortal, the Primordial Spirit of a Celestial Immortal, and eventually the True Spirit of a True Immortal.

The flesh body increases life force and defense, evolving from Vajra Indestructible to a Glazed Body, then to a Golden Body, with severed limbs regenerating to the point of rebirth from a drop of blood, enhancing survival capabilities continuously.

As for magical power, it evolves from the thin Inner Strength of the Early Period to True Qi, True Liquid, then to the Golden Core Power, magical power of an Earth Immortal, the Nascent Qi of a Divine Infant cultivator, and the Immortal Source Power of a True Immortal. All these are powers that a cultivator can cultivate and control, and it is acceptable to collectively refer to them as magical power.

Just imagining being able to step into the Divine Infant Realm, Wang Xuan couldn’t help but feel excited; further advancement might truly make him unmatched below the True Immortal level.

"A trace of Nascent Qi is enough to crush a mountain peak; the energy level is far superior to an Earth Immortal, with powerful might that is hard to obliterate."

Wang Xuan looked at the Spirit Tree developed from his own Path of Creation, pondering a while before naming it Tree of Life.

Even the Mother Tree of Life from the Elf Realm might not be comparable to this manifestation, and as his cultivation level grows, the Tree of Life will continue to thrive.

With a breath, Wang Xuan’s figure reappeared in the wilderness, and beside him, the Tree of Life fluctuated gracefully as he pointed at it, releasing its vibrancy.

Within a few miles radius, all flora received an overwhelming nourishment, swaying and twisting, growing visibly.

In just a quarter hour, green plants occupied every space of this area with no place to stand.

Wang Xuan pointed again, and the Tree of Life began to absorb vitality, causing all flora within tens of miles to wilt rapidly, soon becoming a scene of dead branches and leaves. The plants here had been dead for years.

Numerous wild animals fled upon sensing danger; if Wang Xuan hadn’t spared them, they would’ve turned into dried corpses.

With a casual wave, the forest quickly regained its vitality, and Wang Xuan felt very satisfied with his ability to control life.

After putting away the Star Hall and removing the array, Wang Xuan returned swiftly to Immortal Martial Mountain, carrying the Void Python.

The thirteen-layered Black Tower atop All Heavens Peak stood tall on the summit of Black and White Mountain, with golden radiance covering tens of miles around.

Wang Xuan tossed the Tree of Life from his hand, transforming it into several meters tall, rooting near the mountain top, turning Black and White Mountain lush and alive in no time.

With this tree, the growth speed of spirit medicine on Black and White Mountain would likely be several times, even ten times, that of Senior Feng Daozi’s medicine field!

A white light flashed on All Heavens Peak; Senior Brother Wu Zhutian, after returning from the Celestial Demon Realm war and digesting his gains, had enhanced his strength significantly and finally exited seclusion.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Immortal Martial Bell tolled thrice, perfectly marking Wang Xuan’s return, indicating something important had happened.

Streams of light streaked through the air, with disciples not in seclusion gathering at the main peak, including Wang Xuan.

Standing in front of the main hall was Hong Xuanji, dressed in a robe exuding the aura of a Taoist, overlooking the many second- and third-generation disciples.

With a gentle press of his hand, the hall instantly fell silent.

"Disciples, after the war in the Evolution Realm through the efforts of predecessors, it has reached the time for a final assault. During the decisive battle, be wary of the desperate counterattacks from the cultivators of the Evolution Realm, therefore it’s decided to increase troop deployment.

This battle is extremely crucial. Victory in this war means eliminating a realm, allowing Earth to allocate more power to conquer the tough challenges of the Hell Realm and Wizard Realm.

Time for Earth Civilization is running out; divine-level civilizations like the Spirit Race, Mechanical Race, Abyss, etc., covet Earth covetously.

For them, Earth Civilization is both a source of danger and a massive treasure; seizing it could propel those worlds forward significantly.

Earth Civilization is on thin ice; any careless move could lead to its downfall. You must not be negligent!"

"Sect Leader’s words, we shall remember!"

...

A giant Kun Roc shuffled in mid-air, carrying disciples of the Five Veins on its back, heading to the Evolution Realm.

Wang Xuan didn’t miss this opportunity; having practiced the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo to the fifth level of the Endless Sword, his ability to kill was unrivaled in the Same Realm. The battlefield was his stage.

"You around us raises the danger index tremendously." Chen Qingniu joked to Wang Xuan, clutching a yellow gourd.

The swaying wine gourd contained various types of Immortal Wine. Once, Chen Qingniu yearned for the life of a Sword Immortal, fond of wine but not obsessed with it, but now, without his master and no one to supervise, he never leaves the wine.

"Then I’m dragging my senior brothers into trouble." Wang Xuan knew well that Chen Qingniu’s joke was quite serious; as an Immortal Martial Taoist, he was worthy of a Half-Step Immortal’s assassination attempt.

Otherwise, in the future, he would be another Immortal, making the already powerful Immortal Martial Mountain even more invincible!

...

"This past month, Wang Xuan doesn’t seem to be monitoring me much." Shoujo Wei ordered a table full of takeout, stuffing her belly, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then laid lazily on the sofa.

Although this stone house of just over ten square meters has nothing, she could buy whatever she wanted online. Who made Wang Xuan that guy incredibly wealthy, with intelligent Life No. 1 handling the costs for everything she buys.

She burped, cleaning her teeth with a toothpick; her cultivation was sealed now, she fully adapted to the ordinary human life, becoming a little fairy of the mortal world.

"Life No. 1, play a movie for me. Hmm, I remember ’You from Earth’ being quite good, let’s watch it."

No Wang Xuan, no Lin Cheng at home, she could do whatever she wanted freely. Over these two months, she bought a pile of stuff and placed them in the villa’s empty space.

"Should I escape?" She thought, glancing at the 3D movie projection, almost wanting to slap herself.

Faced with such a good life, she even entertained thoughts of abandonment; it’s practically a rebellion!

Embracing a bottle of happy house water, with a box of fried chicken resting on her slender legs, Little Wei watched the movie gleefully.

Though life seemed degenerate, no one controlled her, and she didn’t have to care about manners; a life of unrestrained bliss was far more interesting than being a celestial princess.

"Urp—urp—" She burped several times, expelling quite a bit of carbon dioxide. Shoujo Wei recalled she had two games yet to launch, and her new friends were waiting for her.

"Who would have thought I’d be this busy someday?" She felt her days were very fulfilling, having things she could and couldn’t do.

At that moment, a mighty pressure like heaven collapsing arrived, turning the entire villa and her small stone house into endless dust, cleanly vanishing.

A tall man’s figure appeared, with a casual wave relieved the seal on her body without a trace, the celestial princess adorned in Immortal Spirit Brocade returned.

"Father." Wei was somewhat uneasy, being captured by Earth people was indeed humiliating.

That man stretched out a hand, forming a portal, saying blandly, "Follow me back."

Shoujo Wei felt a bit reluctant, after all, Wang Xuan, though often terrorizing her, hadn’t done much to her and let her enjoy such a wonderful life.

The man grasped her shoulder without further words, and they both entered the portal, dissolving into thin air.

All that remained was an empty foundation; even if Wang Xuan returned, he might not recognize this as his villa.

(Seems like recent Chapters have had issues, too dull, the narrative thread lacks tightness, the plot is somewhat idle, and I need to sort the previous content and think about how to write next.

Recommendation votes and monthly votes are scant; this is about my update issues and the decline in Chapter quality. Hoping to sort things out and turn people back tomorrow.)
