Chapter 546 284: Supreme Treasure Acquired, Seeking New Opportunities

Once one broke through to become a Tier Twelve Life form, they would be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the entire Cosmos!

He remembered that when he and Wang Xiao had parted ways back then, Wang Xiao wasn't even a Tier Nine Life form.

To think that in less than ten thousand years, Wang Xiao had grown to such an extent!

Moreover, he could tell that Wang Xiao and Xu Muying's relationship was extraordinary.

Since those people had hunted Xu Muying, Wang Xiao would absolutely not let the matter rest.

Wang Xiao said:

"Yes. I originally came here to repay a favor, but I didn't expect to run into Fellow Daoist Hunxu."

"Next, I'll make a trip to that gathering place, and then head to Celestial Palace Mountain."

After a moment of thought, he added:

"In another hundred years, Cosmic Star will open its exit. When that time comes, I'll have the two Tier Twelve Life forms outside protect you a little. They'll either tell you the exit's location or personally take you there!"

He knew that Cosmic Star was not a completely sealed celestial body.

It would open an exit roughly every thirty thousand years.

Only by obtaining a Cosmic Star Crystal could one perceive the exit's location!

He had already learned from Niu Tianba that the Cosmic Star would open its exit in about a hundred years.

Given Niu Tianba's status, he could find out the exit's location even without a Cosmic Star Crystal.

Hearing this, Hunxu's face lit up with joy as he said:

"Thank you for your consideration, Fellow Daoist Wang."

Although he had stumbled upon many opportunities inside Cosmic Star over the years, and had broken through from being a Tier Seven Life form to a Tier Nine Life form, he knew his Talent was limited. If he stayed any longer, it would be difficult to make another breakthrough.

He could perish in a natural disaster at any moment.

Therefore, he naturally hoped for a chance to get out!

With Wang Xiao's reputation backing him, his life in the gathering place would also be a bit easier from now on.

Wang Xiao said:

"There's no time to lose. I'll head over to that gathering place now. We'll meet again if fate allows."

At his current speed, it would take him at least half a year to reach that gathering place.

Then, going to Celestial Palace Mountain would take several more years.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste time catching up.

Besides, his friendship with Hunxu was only average at best.

There was naturally not much more to talk about.

Hunxu nodded. "Alright, then I wish Fellow Daoist Wang a safe journey."

Wang Xiao didn't linger. He got up and left the main hall with Hunxu.

Niu Tianba had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing Wang Xiao emerge, he couldn't help but step forward and ask:

"Brother Wang, what are your plans now?!"

Wang Xiao replied:

"I've obtained some information about my close friend from this old acquaintance. So, I plan to check out another gathering place first before heading to Celestial Palace Mountain."

"I'm afraid we'll have to part ways."

Niu Tianba had already achieved his goal, so he didn't try to make him stay. He just said:

"That's great news! Do you need me to accompany you on your trip to that gathering place?!"

Wang Xiao shook his head.

"No need, I can go alone. I just hope that Brother Niu and Fellow Daoist Tang will look after this old friend of mine. When the Cosmic Star exit opens, please tell him its location."

Niu Tianba said:

"Don't worry. If this brother wants to, he can come back with me to my gathering place."

"However, if we run into danger on the way, I might not be able to protect him."

Tang Jiu immediately interjected:

"As if he needs you! Fellow Daoist Wang, rest assured. Your old friend will be very safe in my gathering place."

He and Wang Xiao didn't have any major grudges between them to begin with.

Now that he had witnessed Wang Xiao's power, he naturally did his best to show his goodwill.

Wang Xiao cupped his fist.

"My thanks to you both."

He bid farewell to Hunxu and the others, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, flying toward the gathering place Hunxu had mentioned.

At his current speed, a distance of one light-year wasn't too far for him.

Moreover, with the Chaos Cyan Lotus protecting his body, he had no fear even if he encountered a large-scale Deceitful Wind.

He sped along without any rest, finally arriving at Hunxu's gathering place just under half a year later.

This time, his luck was quite good. Along the way, he only encountered two Deceitful Winds, two instances of Death Fire, and one acid rain.

For him, these natural disasters posed little fundamental danger.

He passed through them with ease, relying on his own strength.

However, as he looked at the devastated gathering place before him, his brow furrowed slightly.

It was clear that people had once lived here.

But now, it was completely destroyed, with only some ruined buildings left!

'It seems a large-scale natural disaster struck, and the gathering place fell apart.'

Wang Xiao sighed.

He knew that within Cosmic Star, gathering places weren't absolutely safe either.

Once two or more large-scale natural disasters erupted simultaneously, things like the Dragon Divine Wood and Glazed Water would be of little use.

This was because when any two large-scale natural disasters collided, they would trigger an even greater one.

For example, if acid rain and a Deceitful Wind erupted at the same time, they would trigger a Deceitful Celestial Rain!

This Deceitful Celestial Rain not only possessed the characteristics of both acid rain and a Deceitful Wind, but its power would also multiply.

Furthermore, it was highly volatile and could produce other effects.

For instance, it could assault one's line of Destiny or corrode one's True Spirit.

Even Tier Twelve Life forms like Niu Tianba would be in mortal danger if they encountered it.

'Looks like my only option is to go to Celestial Palace Mountain.'

Wang Xiao had come here in the first place to ask about Xu Muying and to help her get revenge.

Since the gathering place no longer existed, there was naturally no reason for him to linger.

Just as he was preparing to leave the ruins, his eyes suddenly glinted as he looked toward the ground in the distance.

A rhombus-shaped Crystal Stone was shining with a faint light on the ground.

With a flick of his figure, he raised a hand and summoned the Crystal Stone into his grasp.

The moment the Crystal Stone was in his hand, he felt as if his True Spirit had undergone an ultimate sublimation.

A wave of Chaos Qi suddenly spread out.

Immediately after, this Chaos Qi transformed into an illusory portal that appeared in Wang Xiao's mind.

Behind the portal, it seemed as if another Cosmos faintly existed.

A faint, magnificent light shone from within!

'A Cosmic Star Crystal!'

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up abruptly.

He knew that only a Star Crystal from Cosmic Star would create such a phenomenon in his mind the moment he held it.

To fully activate the Cosmic Star Crystal, one had to wait for the arrival of the Cosmos's Silent Extinction.

Only by borrowing the power of the Cosmos's Silent Extinction could one enter the Unobservable Cosmos through the Cosmic Star Crystal.

'A Cosmic Star Crystal really can appear after a large-scale natural disaster. This trip wasn't a waste after all!'

Wang Xiao nodded to himself.

However, he still planned to make a trip to Celestial Palace Mountain.

After all, the power of a single Cosmic Star Crystal couldn't carry too many people into the Unobservable Cosmos.

If he wanted to protect all of Earth, he would need at least three Cosmic Star Crystals.

Moreover, Celestial Palace Mountain didn't just have Cosmic Star Crystals; there were other opportunities as well!

These opportunities might even help Wang Xiao find the threshold to becoming a Tier Thirteen Life form.

Wang Xiao put away the Cosmic Star Crystal, and with a flicker of his figure, he flew off in the direction of Celestial Palace Mountain.

Celestial Palace Mountain was about ten light-years away from his current location.

Even at Wang Xiao's speed, it would take him three to four years to arrive!

And so, Wang Xiao's figure transformed into a streak of light, continuously traversing space without the slightest pause.

Four years later, he finally arrived at Celestial Palace Mountain!

A mountain range that pierced the heavens appeared in Wang Xiao's vision.

The mountain range was shaped like a Treasure Tower, and waves of Fog permeated it.

Even when he unleashed his Divine Thought, he couldn't probe the slightest bit inside.

He could faintly see small Deceitful Winds swirling within, kicking up clouds of leaves and branches!

This was the terrifying aspect of Celestial Palace Mountain.

Unlike the outside world, where Deceitful Winds appeared randomly, once one entered Celestial Palace Mountain, they had to face the threat of Deceitful Winds at any moment.

There was even the possibility of a combined attack from multiple natural disasters.

Even a Tier Twelve Life form couldn't possibly withstand it.

This was also why Niu Tianba dared not explore Celestial Palace Mountain, despite knowing of its existence.

'Now that I have a Cosmic Star Crystal, plus the protection of the Chaos Cyan Lotus, the danger of entering Celestial Palace Mountain should be greatly reduced!'

'I wonder if Xu Muying is still inside. Maybe I can find some news about her in there!'

Wang Xiao took a breath, no longer hesitating. With a flash of his figure, he plunged into Celestial Palace Mountain.
