Stronger from Earth

Chapter 403 - 397: Fleeting b Years Like Flowing Water

The war has ended, and everyone in the Evolution Realm is digesting the harvested resources to enhance their cultivation.

In the matter of cultivation, talent, foundation, cultivation resources, guidance in techniques, blessed land, and fortune are all crucial and indispensable.

Innate factors are hard to change, but what can be improved through effort and sought after, people will compete for.

In the Evolution Realm, the gains among individuals vary, but even with limited means, there is none like Wang Xuan who has acquired an immense amount of cultivation resources.

Though far from Wang Xuan, the resources harvested by others are substantial enough to support their advancement into a Great Realm, thus they exert themselves in cultivation to enhance their strength.

Because with the next opportunity, the acquisition of resources depends on one’s own strength.

Wang Xuan and Clone Emperor Xuan were seated at the Divine Mountain of the Truth Sect, hidden within the Star Hall, jointly reviewing cultivation techniques and Evolution Liquid formulas of the Evolution Realm.

With a mutual understanding, their speed in comprehending techniques was exceedingly fast, quickly selecting the beneficial parts. Wang Xuan walked the Path of Creation while the clone followed the Path of Fighting, differing in focus.

Emperor Xuan, multitasking, browsed the Jade and said, "My body can devour a large amount of supernatural material, continually enhancing the strength of the flesh; this time, I need a portion of your harvest.

Once I ascend to Grotto Void Realm, my heart power and vision will exponentially increase, and the speed of comprehending techniques will be dozens of times faster than now.

Then I can digest the cultivation knowledge of the Evolution Realm efficiently, saving your reading time, while you focus solely on the Path of Creation."

Wang Xuan surrounded himself with tens of thousands of pieces of Jade, occasionally picking a few to store, and sometimes taking out Evolution Liquid to consume, refining it to enhance the strength of his flesh body.

He said, "This method is excellent. I need a lot of time to pave the way, like Martial Immortal and Demon Suppression True Monarch, creating my own path is as difficult as Heaven and Earth Creation, yet future achievements will definitely surpass disciples who follow others’ paths.

You are originally my guardian, competing for resources and saving time, allowing me to grow quickly. No one in the world makes me as reassured as you do, nor is anyone as attuned to my thoughts as you are.

With your Divine Stone body, you can swiftly grow by leveraging resources, swiftly increasing combat power, it’s rightful to allocate some to you; soon you might advance to the True Immortal Domain, becoming a Grotto Void True Immortal or even a Star Lord, with few rivals across territories."

Wang Xuan took out a large amount of Evolution Liquid, Divine Strange Immortal Gold, and minerals, for Clone Emperor Xuan’s body can infinitely strengthen, given sufficient resources, advancing to Half-Step Immortal is possible.

Of course, he lacks such an immense amount of resources.

"So, this is ideal, let’s focus on cultivation then."

...

Ancient sages said: Time flows like a stream, never ceasing day or night.

Spring has come and gone for several years, Earth’s calendar has reached the year 2524 CE. Time never stops due to personal will, silently advancing always.

The once youthful boy has grown into an adult, the once toddler has reached school age.

The bustling cities, still comprising floating cars, starships shuttling back and forth; human body chips have been promoted for four to five years, the growth rate of Earth Civilization significantly enhanced due to them.

A charming young man, carrying a long sword on his back, walks into a Spirit Bar, a calm place suitable for cultivation with abundant Spiritual Qi, where many people are drinking tea or wine, a mid-range social venue.

In such places, many people remain silent, but their expressions change occasionally, showing they’re enjoying their chat.

Through the human body chip, thoughts can be exchanged directly, like brains connecting various ports, allowing free movement in the network world with permission.

Hongze’s steps were heavy, walking up to the two men conversing, and with a flicker of his divine sense, directly interfered and blocked their chip’s function in their brains.

The two, disconnected from their chips, had not yet adjusted their thinking habits, reliant on them, momentarily at a loss.

"Who are you?" one asked while covering his head.

The human body chip stores a wealth of knowledge and memory, like a personal search engine, allowing him to respond best to most situations.

Now, although not a fool without the chip, he has fallen from heaven to mortality.

Hongze, over 1.8 meters tall, with a slender and strong body like a graceful gentleman, combined with a handsome appearance surpassing Pan An, truly made nearby ladies awestruck.

"The one who kills you," Hongze moved his thumb slightly, causing the sword he carried to burst forth with streams of Sword Qi, which intertwined with Sword Intent over an area of one meter.

Clang!

Only hearing a sound of sword clang, Hongze casually returned the sword to its sheath and turned to leave.

Other busybodies with chips searched the database, soon piecing together some information.

"Hongze, who achieved Innate and Divine Treasure’s peak fortune at a young age, slaying late-stage Divine Treasure cultivators at the peak of Innate with merely three swords.

Joined the Federation Special Action Bureau in the year 2523, investigating criminals guilty of crimes against humanity, with orders to exterminate at sight once confirmed.

He became renowned for his exceptional appearance, graciously poised, like a gentleman and swordsman, exceptional in his level with few rivals, being a disciple of Hongwu Taoist, hence garnering much attention."

Amidst the discussions, Hongze didn’t even glance back, aware of his own attractiveness, causing many women to faint upon seeing him.

Yet, this holds no significance for him.

With divine sense connecting to a micro personal terminal embedded in his skin, he immediately knew the location of his next mission target, rushing there immediately.

Cultivating the Creation True Scripture, his vitality far exceeds that of cultivators at the same level, and the flesh body’s activity and strength can almost compare to those of a higher realm cultivator.

Combined with cultivation speed and recovery ability, he reached the Vajra Realm at twenty-one or two years old.

"Indeed, the Creation True Scripture is mighty; my accomplishments today are due largely to my master’s benefaction, yet it’s a pity that my master, accompanying the Earth Expeditionary Army, remains trapped in the Evolution Realm, without any news since."

Hongze sighed, not thinking that the separation was four years, having graduated from Federation University and trained on the Mother Star during these years.

Maintaining contact with Chun Shui and Qiushui, hoping for news of his master, yet never receiving any; even though lacking cultivation resources, Chun Shui continued extending support due to his identity.

"My enemies have been many too, yet overcoming crises consistently due to fortune, for once receiving a large World Gate fragment, bestowing great opportunities."

Over the years, his cultivation advanced one Great Realm each year, with solid foundations, courtesy of the Realm Gate fragment and Creation True Scripture.

Hongze gradually walked away, planning after this mission to visit his master’s wife, as she has been pregnant for a while, soon to give birth to his master’s child.

Shortly after Wang Xuan’s departure, Lin Cheng discovered her pregnancy, yet it lasted over three years, the child still unborn.

Such a supernatural occurrence is indeed rare worldwide.

(Writing is arduous. To continue, I need to revisit previous Chapters, reviewing notes, allowing characters and stories to interact in my mind; this is the prelude.

In dreams yesterday, I was still writing. Yet when attempting, I realize many details elude me, each step feels cautious, fearing gaps.

A headache like a large fill-in form.)
