Stronger from Earth

Chapter 380 - 379: The Gate to the Dragon Realm

Wang Xuan said, "Don’t feel pressured, just focus on the exam."

"How could there be no pressure." Su Qiubai pouted.

Wang Xuan laughed, "If you really don’t perform well, I’ll pull some strings to get you directly into Imperial University. With some effort, it’s doable."

These words were half-truths; getting Su Qiubai into Imperial University was just a matter of his word. With his cultivation level, he could even become a dean there, let alone handle such trivial matters.

But speaking too lightly of it might destroy the young lady’s motivation.

"Oh." Su Qiubai replied.

In truth, she deeply missed the days from a few years ago, when she could tease Wang Xuan as a lazy shut-in, enjoying school time with her sister every day.

Now she had grown up, and life seemed to bring more worrying matters.

Wang Xuan continued, "With your cultivation level, it’s impossible for you to enter Federation University, but I can lend you a hand. Do you wish to attend Federation University?"

Su Qiubai, of course, knew about Federation University, a place for humanity’s elite students. Given her talent, she would certainly be overwhelmed there.

"No need." She shook her head, aware of her own limitations, knowing the taste of being outperformed is unpleasant.

"As you wish." Wang Xuan did not forcefully change her decision.

Before leaving, Su Qiubai suddenly said, "Wang Xuan, I miss Xiaowei. I miss the old days very much."

Being apart from her sister for too long caused her great anxiety. She worried about what her sister might become, whether she would turn into a familiar stranger.

"When she wishes to return, she will naturally come back," Wang Xuan said as he walked away.

Staying in Yuzhang for two months, he suddenly heard that the water level of Poyang Lake had mysteriously dropped, followed by a subsequent rise.

Immortal Martial Mountain immediately sent word: A new Gate of the World appeared, named Dragon Realm, mostly inhabited by Flood Dragon bloodlines, requiring hands to guard it.

As an Immortal Martial True Inheritor, Wang Xuan lived leisurely in Yuzhang City, pondering Cultivation Techniques daily, with his cultivation level advancing rapidly, while having time to manage such affairs.

Two months of dual cultivation, Lin Cheng’s cultivation level had skyrocketed, becoming a Dharma Body cultivator, similar to Chen Qingniu.

The world’s matters are such; efforts often pale compared to good fortune. Lin Cheng, amidst the joys of love, broke through one realm after another.

Sexual desires are natural, unrestrained, as it is part of life’s essentials; even as adults, it’s nothing to be shy about.

"Xuan, despite our efforts, why does my belly show no signs?" Lin Cheng lamented.

In this era, because of cultivation, many people return to tradition, not as open, maintaining Pure Yang bodies for decades.

Lin Cheng yearned for a child, but Wang Xuan hoped to postpone, as bearing a child would deplete her Primordial Qi and life force.

General female cultivators see their cultivation levels drop or stagnate significantly after childbirth, greatly impacting their future prospects. For them, raising children requires vastly significant sacrifices.

"You cannot force it; when the child is meant to come, it will naturally come." Wang Xuan said.

He wasn’t anxious; pregnancy is a natural occurrence, even though two are only a Great Realm apart, the physical gap is vast, making pregnancy unlikely, requiring time, as if constantly drawing for a chance.

Moreover, he himself was only in his twenties, life at its golden peak, lacking time and energy for a child; the greater sacrifice falls again on Lin Cheng.

From Shoujo Wei, Wang Xuan acquired a Body Refining Transformation Technique, aiding Lin Cheng to swiftly advance through three transformations.

Perhaps, as his pace slows slightly, during this period, Lin Cheng might truly conceive—it’s possible, with hundreds of times higher odds than before.

"Without effort, how can there be results?" Lin Cheng bit a finger, "Tonight, we must continue the effort."

Although she understood Wang Xuan’s character, he wouldn’t discard her once her identity and strength rose.

Yet her pressure was immense; with so many beauties around Wang Xuan, what if one day he met a perfect match, would she lose him? Whether it’s irrational fears or not, her desire for a child far exceeded Wang Xuan’s.

...

Poyang Lake is vast, ranked among the top five lakes in Divine Land, with mythical tales of water monsters even before the Era of Mythology; with the rise of the aquatic race, it became even more mysterious.

Standing above Poyang Lake, Wang Xuan surveyed the entire area, the fish below being weak in spirit, while the stronger ones were fierce beasts and demon beasts.

"Is the Gate of the World for the Dragon Realm located in the southern part of Poyang Lake?"

Using his Primordial Spirit power, it wasn’t long before he discovered its presence—a gate over twenty zhang in length and breadth standing firm.

In the water, fish swam freely through it, while numerous aquatic folks guarded nearby, along with people from the Mountain Gate.

Once this realm gate solidifies entirely, it will be time to enter the Dragon Realm.

"A realm gate of over twenty zhang; it seems the Dragon Realm surpasses the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm but falls short of the Celestial Demon Realm, strongest with cultivation levels between Divine Infant and Jade Platform Realm."

With such combat power, Wang Xuan was confident he could suppress it.

Of course, if it were like in the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm, where immortals couldn’t enter initially, only body refining cultivators, then even he with great strength would be halted outside.

After a glance, leaving dozens of mind projections to guard, Wang Xuan departed directly.

In the wild, he summoned the Star Hall, set up arrays, and entered, retrieving a cushion to sit upon.

With closed eyes, Wang Xuan’s fingertips emitted strands of the Power of Creation, constantly evolving, sometimes forming Dragon Phoenix Divine Beasts, sometimes transforming into Sea of Fire Golden Lotus, Heaven and Earth Creation, Wordless Celestial Scripture, and other phenomena.

As time passed, a green seed floated, absorbing energy particles from heaven and earth, suddenly sprouting with a puff.

A small sapling, barely a fingertip high, swayed and grew rapidly, soon reaching a zhang tall, with mist descending full of life.

The intensely life-filled Spirit Tree beckoned anyone to approach, picking a leaf at random, capturing a Silver Ring Snake, inserting it into its mouth.

After an hour, the one-meter-long Silver Ring Snake had grown to three meters, moving swiftly and robust in life force. Even with its tail chopped off, it would rapidly regenerate, recovering within a few hours.

The endlessly vital Spirit Tree continued growing, blooming countless colorful flowers, and as the petals unfolded, thumb-sized magical entities emerged.

Completely formed by life force, consuming one would extend lifespan and greatly increase cultivation level, comparable to the Life Essence Immortal Peach.

Wang Xuan opened his eyes, gazing at the Spirit Tree before him with a sigh; it was wholly transformed by the Power of Creation, embodying his mastery in the Path of Creation.

Compared to before, this Spirit Tree’s Power of Creation far exceeded his Pure Yang Realm magical power, now serving as a lure for advancing to the Divine Infant Realm.
