Chapter 523 - 273: To Be a Dragon Among Buddhas, One Must First Be a Beast of Burden for All Beings

Naturally, he had no intention of meddling and prepared to leave this part of the Starry Sky.

These life forms from the Outer Starry Sky were clearly also from various Cosmic-level Influences.

Wang Xiao had no need to offend them for the sake of strangers!

His figure flashed, arriving above Earth. The infinite Power of Qi within his body suddenly surged.

In an instant, countless runes swirled out, spreading across the entire sky above Earth.

Immediately after, these runes burst forth with a blazing light, completely enveloping the planet.

With a flash of light, Earth vanished from the Starry Sky and appeared inside Wang Xiao’s body.

The humans on Earth were, naturally, completely unaware of this change.

In their eyes, Earth was just as it had always been, with no changes whatsoever.

"Seniors, you should all enter my Rune Heaven and Earth as well!"

With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiao also took Gu Tiandu and the other Tier Nine Life forms into his body.

He activated the Chaos Cyan Lotus and the newly acquired Moon Wheel, about to head for the Starry Sky Sea where Wuji Mountain was located.

However, at that very moment, a clear, crisp voice suddenly rang out.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

The instant the voice fell, the boundless void suddenly began to churn.

The next moment, a graceful figure suddenly stepped out of the void.

She was clad in a red dress, and her long, straight legs ended in a pair of crystal shoes.

Her appearance was no different from a human woman’s; she was an absolute beauty.

Her entire being radiated an endless tenderness and myriad charms, as if she were heaven’s most perfect masterpiece.

However, Wang Xiao looked at the woman before him but was completely unmoved.

He knew this was not the woman’s true form, but an illusory one.

This woman’s true form was a formless mass of Chaos Qi.

It was surrounded by countless dust clouds, like a patch of unevolved starry sky.

Wang Xiao knew this was a special life form from within the Taichu Starry Sky Sea.

Known as a Nebula!

They were born when a Starry Sky of Silent Extinction gradually began to revive.

When these Nebulae first developed consciousness, they possessed power no less than that of a Tier Nine Life.

Across the entire Cosmos, they were uniquely blessed beings.

However, because Nebulae lacked a physical body, advancing further was also extremely difficult for them.

Wang Xiao said, "What matter brings Fellow Daoist here?"

The Nebula said, "I come from a Taichu Influence. I just saw you kill that Yue Huazhang. If you have nowhere else to go, Fellow Daoist, you can come to our Taichu!"

"Our Taichu has the ability to protect you."

Wang Xiao said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Fellow Daoist, but I have some connection with the ancestor of Wuji Mountain, so I plan to go there."

The Nebula pursed her lips. "So that’s how it is. Those two, Yue Huazhang and his companion, certainly didn’t die unjustly, having run into someone like you."

"Hehe, would you like to explore the Cosmic Star together, Fellow Daoist? I can provide some Star Cores for your use."

She had already witnessed Wang Xiao’s methods and knew his strength far surpassed that of Tier Eleven Life forms like herself.

Therefore, she wanted to team up with Wang Xiao to avoid some of the risks within the Cosmic Star.

Wang Xiao shook his head. "I’m not interested in Cosmic Star Crystals."

He hadn’t reached Tier Twelve Life and had no plans to enter the Cosmic Star.

After all—once he entered the Cosmic Star, the Book of Space-Time would be useless.

The danger would increase dramatically!

His current strength wasn’t overwhelmingly powerful yet; there was no need to take such a risk.

Besides, he and this Nebula were strangers.

’I don’t want to get screwed over!’

The Nebula didn’t press the invitation. She nodded and said, "In that case, let’s part ways here. I hope we’ll have a chance to cooperate in the future."

"Oh, right. In the language of you Earthlings, my name is Anvira."

Her tone was gentle as she did her best to convey her goodwill.

Special life forms like her were exceedingly rare to begin with.

So, whenever they encountered a powerful being they took a liking to, they would take the initiative to befriend them.

Wang Xiao nodded. "I’m Wang Xiao. We’ll meet again if fate allows."

He didn’t linger. Activating the Moon Wheel, he left that region of the Starry Sky in an instant.

’This Anvira will most likely participate in the Myriad Realms Great Trial as well.’

’It’s not bad to befriend a powerful special life form.’

SWOOSH!

Wang Xiao’s speed was immense as he flew toward Wuji Mountain.

In what felt like an instant, he traversed hundreds of starry skies.

With a flick of his finger, Wang Xiao manifested a clone that descended to Earth.

At this moment, after Wang Xiao’s adjustments, Earth had returned to its original state.

There wasn’t much difference from before.

Countless humans, under the arrangements of the Celestial Dao and the Supreme Federation, had also returned to the surface one after another.

A crisis that could have annihilated Earth was thus averted!

Almost all humans had no idea what had just happened.

Wang Xiao returned to the Martial Arts Hall and saw his disciple, Pei Shiqi.

After visiting the Great Dao Relics, she had managed to comprehend the two Origin Great Daos of Time and Space.

She had successfully broken through to become a Tier Six Life.

When she saw Wang Xiao return, a look of joyful surprise appeared on her face. "Master, you’re back!"

She was now considered one of Earth’s higher-ups and had actually sensed the great battle outside the planet just moments ago.

She knew Earth had been attacked.

Her heart had been filled with extreme unease.

However, the moment she saw Wang Xiao return, she immediately calmed down.

Wang Xiao nodded. "Yes, the matter is settled. But I did run into some trouble."

"I’ve taken Earth into my body. We’re on our way to another part of the Starry Sky and should arrive in about half a year."

"Take this Curiosity. It should be useful to you in the future."

He took out a gauze tunic that shimmered with a faint moonlight and handed it to Pei Shiqi.

This tunic could simulate any environment and conceal one’s figure and aura.

Even a Tier Twelve Life might not be able to discover the wearer if they didn’t search carefully.

It was an unparalleled treasure for preserving one’s life.

"Th-thank you, Master."

Pei Shiqi took it subconsciously.

She pursed her lips again, a little apprehensive. "The Outer Starry Sky we’re going to... will it be very dangerous?!"

Wang Xiao said, "Generally speaking, it won’t be too dangerous. At least, it’s better than the starry sky where Earth was located."

After losing its Star Core, Earth’s home starry sky would decay at an accelerated rate.

It probably wouldn’t be long before it reached Silent Extinction.

"Alright, just live your life as you normally would from now on. Follow your own pace in your Cultivation."

Wang Xiao didn’t chat much longer with Pei Shiqi. He then contacted Ji Wuchang and his other friends.

He gave Ji Wuchang and the others a few Curiosities and Marvels.

Only then did he go directly into seclusion.

He had actually returned this time with the intention of cultivating some powerful Earthlings.

Ji Wuchang, Pei Shiqi, and the others all had outstanding Talent.

With sufficient resources, it was possible for them to cultivate to Tier Ten or even Tier Eleven Life.

Their potential was greater than that of Gu Tiandu and the other Tier Nine Life forms.

Therefore, Wang Xiao had given them the Curiosities and Marvels in the hopes that they might gain some enlightenment from them.

Of course, this was all he could do for them.

Whether they could break through in the future would depend on their own efforts and opportunities.

Wang Xiao didn’t stop at all along the way, continuously traversing the Starry Sky.

He wasn’t worried about encountering another starry sky in Silent Extinction.

Relying on the power of the Chaos Cyan Lotus, he could now easily break through the barriers between starry skies and travel to others.

The journey was smooth and uneventful.

After half a year, Wang Xiao finally arrived with Earth at the Starry Sky Sea governed by Wuji Mountain.

He placed Earth in a starry sky adjacent to the one where Wuji Mountain was located.

This region of space was governed by a Tier Twelve Life from Wuji Mountain.

Before arriving, Wang Xiao had already informed this Tier Twelve Life.

Thus, he encountered no resistance.

Wang Xiao released Earth and the group of Tier Nine Life forms, including Gu Tiandu.

Earth hung suspended in the Starry Sky, showing no signs of any issues.

"So this is the Outer Starry Sky? I wonder how it’s different from the one where Earth was?"

"Wang Xiao, can we explore this region of space?"

"I can feel powers different from those on Earth. The opportunities in this starry sky should be plentiful."

Gu Tiandu and the others couldn’t help but release their Divine Thoughts, curiously exploring this new starry sky.

Wang Xiao said, "You can explore, but you must be extremely careful. This starry sky has many Tier Eleven Life forms, and even Tier Twelve Life forms."

"Of course, I’ve already spoken with the Tier Twelve Life who governs this starry sky. He won’t make things difficult for you, Seniors."

Gu Tiandu said with emotion, "It’s all thanks to you, Wang Xiao. I never thought we would one day be able to explore the Outer Starry Sky."

Yun Fanlang said with a smile, "’To become a titan, one must first be a workhorse for the masses.’ Hehe, Wang Xiao is certainly proof that the most capable do the most work."

After that, Gu Tiandu and the others left Earth and began to explore other places, searching for opportunities to break through.

As for Wang Xiao, he went directly into seclusion to consolidate his Cultivation and prepare for the Myriad Realms Great Trial.
