Stronger from Earth

Chapter 241 240: The Vastness of Heaven and Earth

Di Xuan put away the Heaven-Shaking Rod, his clothes in tatters, yet he was uninjured. If the Demon Subduing Arhat's flesh body is equivalent to a peak Earth Grade Magical Treasure, then his own flesh body is superior to a Celestial Grade Immortal Artifact.

This battle, he won without much difficulty, it could even be said it was quite easy.

The figure of the Great Sun Bright King disappeared. He was well aware that his disciple, the Demon Subduing Arhat, would lose, though the defeat was more thorough than expected, possibly affecting him greatly.

With a hand he reached out and caught the falling Demon Subduing, returning to Vajra Temple. The Demon Subduing Arhat's internal organs were damaged, more than half his ribs were broken, and pale gold blood flowed. Di Xuan was merciful and strong enough himself, along with having some life-saving items, so he did not die.

"Disciple, do you now realize that there are always greater talents? You must compose yourself to cultivate, not to defeat him, but for your own cultivation," advised the Great Sun Bright King to his disciple.

The strength of Di Xuan planted a sense of defeat in the heart of Demon Subduing, who had honed himself at the peak of the Earth Immortal for many years to become the strongest, and sat at this position for six or seven years, with considerable growth in cultivation.

Yet even so, he was easily defeated by Di Xuan. If under the strongest Earth Immortal fortune, and several more years go by, how strong would Di Xuan grow?

Demon Subduing did not know, but that was a level he could no longer touch. The obsession in his heart was shattered by Di Xuan's strike, and he said, "Once I recover, I shall enter the Venerable Realm, I will no longer linger in the Arhat Realm."

"That is good." The Great Sun Bright King began to treat his disciple's injuries.

The prowess of that single strike was truly awe-inspiring; no one expected someone at the peak of the Earth Immortal to explode with such power, comparable to a second realm Celestial Immortal's strike.

The nine disciples of Puji were all astonished. The first and second disciples were in the Jade Platform Realm, yet they had to admit, they were never as powerful in the Dharma Body Realm as Di Xuan, they would even be crushed directly.

The strongest Earth Immortal, truly terrifying!

"Wow! So powerful!" Su Xiaowei giggled, her concern was not her senior brother's loss, but Wang Xuan's victory.

He Fang did not comment; saying anything here might seem like giving face to the Precious Light Temple, considering this battle took place in its secret realm, observed by many Venerables and Bodhisattvas.

Yet the slight smile on his lips showed his delight.

"After talking for several days, my disciple and I should also be leaving." He Fang said.

Before others could speak, Su Xiaowei's smile faded, pouting, her whole demeanor dimmed a bit; she had been quite happy these days, but such times were too short-lived.

Di Xuan patted her shoulder, saying, "You must cultivate diligently. In a few decades, when I enter the True Immortal Realm, perhaps you can come to the Immortal Martial Mountain to witness it."

He accepted a new cultivation technique created by the Universal Relief Bodhisattva, which could cultivate directly to the peak of Celestial Immortal, and beyond that, it would be his path alone. But that was enough, as he was cultivating not for practice but to gain incense faith, which was the primary goal.

"Thank you, Senior Puji." Di Xuan bowed.

The master and disciple left, directly departing from Wuyou Temple, returning to Immortal Martial Mountain. Di Xuan did not stop at Black and White Mountain but went straight to the main peak, passed through the Realm Gate, and returned to Di Xuan Star.

When the main body and clone met, their memories converged into a river; these days, Wang Xuan had been developing core followers on Di Xuan Star with his spiritual cultivation, passing on some Dharma Gates, quickly establishing the framework of the Spiritual Sect.

The believers were settled, and those managing the sect lived in temples, reciting scriptures and worshiping divine statues, becoming new cultivators on this planet.

Perhaps they may never break through the Body Refining Realm, barely becoming masters of inner strength, but being able to develop Qi Sensitivity was a joy to them, a pursuit they followed tirelessly.

When Wang Xuan learned about what happened in Wuyou Temple, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, saying, "You're a bit too spontaneous."

"Aren't you a bit too tied down?" Di Xuan said calmly.

The two were the same source, yet they had many differences, like someone missing a college entry by one point and having to work outside, and someone else going to college, experiencing life on campus.

With different experiences, their life situations ten years later might completely differ, their ways of dealing with life, their perception of life, the world, and values, even their demeanor would be completely different.

But you couldn't say, they aren't the same person.

Wang Xuan shook his head, "I hope you respect my past relationships by not involving too much; similarly, I won't meddle in your social life either, do as you wish."

He was, after all, the main body; the Yin Spirit of the clone was split from his Primordial Spirit, later strengthened to now, plus the Tower of Space-Time stood within the original Primordial Spirit, the clone, no matter what, needed to respect the main body.

"Alright then." Di Xuan pouted, estimating it would take him a few hundred more years to develop the mindset of the main body.

As a young man with such strong talent, he should indeed be flamboyant and arrogant; otherwise, what would be the point of being young?

The main body ignored him, wholeheartedly comprehending the Void Clarity Scripture created by the Universal Relief Bodhisattva, the main body's Primordial Spirit had resided in the clone's Sea of Consciousness during cultivation, so it was akin to re-cultivating once more.

The Primordial Spirit thus benefited, growing at least fifty percent stronger, which was an unexpected gain.

After learning the secret of the strongest in the same Realm, Wang Xuan constantly thought about how to break through to this level and reach the pinnacle to receive the great fortune granted by the Mother Star.

The stronger becoming stronger is the way of fortune.

To reach the top, one must strive for the strongest fortune in the same Realm.

Days passed, and soon a month had gone by with Wang Xuan on Di Xuan Star. At this time, one after another, special divine statues were erected, they were exceptionally tall, all refined by him into Dharma Artifacts.

After he left, these statues could absorb and store incense faith, thus not tying him to this planet but allowing him to draw time for himself.

Having finished, he looked at the Source Power he accrued, feeling quite content.

He asked, "Di Xuan, what do you want to do? What path will you take in the future?"

"In life, we must stand as a human hero, in this world, with its wine, wealth, fame, and desires, everyone must grasp something. We pursue the path of longevity, needing cultivation resources, and more importantly, trials.

In a short time, you cannot surpass me, being watched by many, your existence has significant safety threats, your sights fixed on the Mother Star.

I wish to see the essence of different worlds; there are so many heroes in the world, naturally, I should not miss them.

Joining the army is an excellent choice. Through numerous trials, I would advance by leaps and bounds if living, or let it end if I perish. But as we are bound, we must never speak of death lightly, mutual assistance is a must."

Wang Xuan nodded, "The Assassin Alliance is a great loose cultivator platform, offering lots of information. You could join the Federation Army while also engaging with it, it shouldn't conflict.

You will gain a whole new identity, becoming an Elder of Black and White Mountain, I'll fabricate a past as a loose cultivator for you, while having the Immortal Martial Mountain background."

Di Xuan did not mind not acting under his original identity, knowing if there were two Wang Xuans, he could only be a shadow. What he wanted was a brand new life, different from his main body's temperament, enterprising, expansive, untamed was his true essence.

Compared to his main body, his timeline diverged from age twelve, with a distinct way of acting, brimming with youthful enthusiasm and vigor, which was the main body's intention when creating him.

"Two of me, how peculiar. With mutual respect and assistance, the future will surely be broader!" Di Xuan laughed heartily.

With the Heaven-Shaking Rod resting on his shoulder, Di Xuan's height suddenly reduced to one meter eighty-five, his stature returned to normal, his hair cascading down to his waist, facial features softening and becoming more handsome.

Before long, a handsome young man, proud in the world, appeared like a celestial youth, full of confidence and vitality, driving women everywhere to madness.

Di Xuan returned to the main body's Dantian, easily returning to Immortal Martial Mountain.

"Let's part ways here!" Di Xuan said with a smile.

Wang Xuan nodded, "I've already contacted the third senior brother, Senior Brother Futu should be a major general. Though he doesn't know your identity, based on our relationship, he should provide more care."

Di Xuan waved his hand, then left alone.

(Been busy lately, helplessly.)
