Chapter 537 280: A Gift from a Stage 13 Lifeform

'A new ability? Didn't you just experience it?!'

Wang Xiao's eyes flickered.

'You're saying you can interfere with the River of Time?!'

He knew the only reason he'd been able to so easily erase his tracks from the future was by relying on the power of the Book of Space-Time!

The Book of Space-Time had interfered with the River of Time, revealing the infinite variables of the future.

Only then could Wang Xiao use these revealed variables to make himself eternally unchanging.

By doing so, he directly erased his future tracks, taking the most crucial step.

The Book of Space-Time sent a message:

'Yes, but I can only interfere slightly. I cannot directly utilize the River of Time like a Tier Thirteen Life can.'

'I need to acquire more lost items to unlock more abilities!'

Wang Xiao couldn't help but ask:

'Does that mean even a Tier Thirteen Life can no longer threaten my existence?!'

He knew that the power of a Tier Thirteen Life lay in its ability to command the power of the River of Time for its own use.

A power that could directly crush a Dimensional Strike!

As long as he could interfere with the River of Time, he would have some ability to protect himself even from a Tier Thirteen Life.

The Book of Space-Time sent a message:

'In theory, yes. However, it would require all your power, and you can only interfere once!'

Wang Xiao nodded slightly.

'That's enough. Next, I should make a trip to the Cosmic Star and see if I can obtain a Star Crystal to face the coming cosmic Silent Extinction.'

'With my current strength, if I encounter danger after entering the Cosmic Star, can I use your power to escape directly?!'

He was well aware that this cosmos was gradually entering its Silent Extinction Stage.

Soon, the entire cosmos might simply vanish.

And when the cosmic Silent Extinction occurred, not even a Tier Thirteen Life could escape it.

The only way was to use the power of the Star Crystals within the Cosmic Star to enter the Unobservable Cosmos.

This was how one could evade the power of the cosmic Silent Extinction.

The reason Wang Xiao hadn't entered the Cosmic Star before was because it was fraught with unpredictable dangers.

Even a Tier Twelve Life risked falling there.

Furthermore, he wouldn't be able to connect to the Book of Space-Time from inside.

Of course, back then he hadn't even reached Tier Eleven Life.

Now that he had broken through to Tier Twelve Life, things might be different.

The Book of Space-Time quickly sent a message:

'The Cosmic Star contains the most fundamental Origin power of the cosmos. Only when you can unleash a Dimensional Strike on one hundred million starry skies will you have the power to connect to the Book of Space-Time from inside!'

Wang Xiao's brow furrowed.

'My current power can only unleash a Dimensional Strike on ten thousand starry skies. That's a long way from one hundred million. How can I break through quickly?!'

He didn't have tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years to spend reaching that Realm.

After all—the cosmic Silent Extinction could arrive at any time.

Naturally, the sooner he entered the Cosmic Star to find a Star Crystal, the better.

Moreover, Wang Xiao also wanted to know what had become of Xu Muying, who had been trapped in the Cosmic Star long ago.

The Book of Space-Time sent a message:

'Immortal Objects contain immense Power of the Starry Sky. You just need to refine their Origin to break through quickly!'

Wang Xiao's brow furrowed.

'After refining its Origin, does an Immortal Object lose its original power?'

The Book of Space-Time sent a message:

'Yes. After losing its Origin, an Immortal Object will, at best, be reduced to one of the Marvels. At worst, it will turn to dust and vanish.'

The moment the words were conveyed,

the Chaos Cyan Lotus inside Wang Xiao's body began to vibrate violently, emitting a strong sense of resistance.

As an Immortal Object, the Chaos Cyan Lotus was also quite special.

To this day, it had yet to give birth to an Artifact Spirit, possessing only a bit of instinctual awareness.

It was possible the Chaos Cyan Lotus had suffered some kind of blow in the past.

Sensing the Chaos Cyan Lotus's fluctuations, Wang Xiao couldn't help but placate it.

'Don't worry, I have no intention of refining you!'

He had already reached Tier Twelve Life and could now fully utilize the power of the Chaos Cyan Lotus.

Besides, the Chaos Cyan Lotus had been with him for so long and had helped him many times.

He really had no intention of refining the Chaos Cyan Lotus's Origin.

Upon receiving Wang Xiao's thought,

the Chaos Cyan Lotus's vibrations finally subsided a little.

Wang Xiao continued his connection with the Book of Space-Time.

'I only have one Immortal Object right now. Where am I supposed to find others to refine?'

The Book of Space-Time sent a message:

'The Book of Space-Time can help you enter the River of Time to salvage them. However, how many you can find will depend entirely on your own strength.'

Wang Xiao nodded slightly.

'Alright. After I handle matters on Earth, I'll enter the River of Time and salvage some Immortal Objects!'

He said no more. His figure flickered, and in a mere moment, he had arrived at Earth.

After breaking through to Tier Twelve Life,

his speed was nothing like it was before.

He could instantly reach any starry sky that existed within the same River of Time.

'In ten thousand years, Earth seems to have become extremely prosperous. There are already over a thousand Tier Nine Lives alone.'

'Ji Wuchang, Pei Shiqi, and the others have actually broken through to Tier Ten Life. Not bad!'

Wang Xiao only needed a single glance at Earth to grasp its general situation.

He wasn't too surprised that Ji Wuchang had broken through to Tier Ten Life.

However, that Pei Shiqi and several others who had participated in the God Creation Plan with him had also reached Tier Ten Life did surprise Wang Xiao somewhat.

It seemed Pei Shiqi and the others had their own fortuitous encounters during these ten thousand years.

With a flicker of his body, he stepped directly onto Earth.

In truth, Earth was now protected by a high-end defensive Array. Not even a Tier Eleven Life could enter it unnoticed.

However, Wang Xiao had now broken through to Tier Twelve Life, reigning supreme over the entire starry sky.

A defensive Array like this was naturally no obstacle for him!

SWOOSH—

In an instant, Wang Xiao appeared inside the World Martial Arts Hall, revealing his presence.

The very moment his figure appeared,

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—

figure after figure, including Gu Tiandu, arrived at the World Martial Arts Hall as if they had been summoned.

"Wang Xiao, you're finally back!"

"Haha, we were just talking about when you'd finally return."

"If you hadn't come back soon, your disciple, Pei Shiqi, was about to head to the Trial Land to find you!"

"Wang Xiao, your Realm seems even more profound. Could it be... you've broken through to Tier Twelve Life?!"

"My Master has definitely broken through to Tier Twelve Life. He wouldn't have come back otherwise."

Looking at the familiar faces of Gu Tiandu and the others, Wang Xiao felt a trace of warmth rise in his heart.

Although he had cultivated to Tier Twelve Life, transcended the River of Time, and severed his past, present, and future selves,

he could still maintain his original relationships with others as long as he wished.

The only difference was that he could sever these relationships at any time.

This was the secret of transcendence: to respond to all changes by being unchanging!

"I've made you all worry. I did indeed have some fortuitous encounters and have broken through to Tier Twelve Life."

Wang Xiao didn't hide it, continuing,

"I returned this time to share a Cultivation Technique with Elder Gu and the others. If you follow my Technique to polish your bodies, I will be able to help you break through to Tier Ten Life once I reach Tier Thirteen Life!"

As he spoke,

his Divine Thought surged forth, transmitting the Cultivation Technique he had comprehended to Gu Tiandu and the others!

As long as Gu Tiandu and the others could follow his Cultivation Technique and rebuild their foundations,

they would be able to ignore their previous lack of accumulation and break through to Tier Ten Life with the help of external force.

"Haha, I knew you'd have a way to help us cross this threshold, Wang Xiao."

Gu Tiandu and the others were overjoyed as they received the Cultivation Technique from Wang Xiao.

They could feel the profundity of this Cultivation Technique. It could help them compensate for the physical deficit caused by their insufficient Spiritual Cultivation in the past!

As for having to wait until Wang Xiao broke through to Tier Thirteen Life to help them reach Tier Ten Life,

they believed that with Wang Xiao's power, breaking through to Tier Thirteen Life was only a matter of time.

And after cultivating to Tier Nine Life, they could use various methods to live for several billion, or even tens of billions, of years without any problem.

They could certainly afford to wait.

Wang Xiao smiled and was about to say something,

when the voice of the Mountain Lord of Wuji Mountain suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Wang Xiao, come to Wuji Mountain. I have something for you!"
