Stronger from Earth

Chapter 371 - 370: Amusement

Wang Xuan thought to himself that this Red-clothed Guest might have a hard time finding a girlfriend, because his feminine attire was enchanting and captivating, surpassing even some Female Immortals in allure and charm.

Even dressed as a man, it was easy to mistake him for a beauty disguising herself as a man. However, once one got close and sensed the evil aura emanating from the Red-clothed Guest, it was clear that he was a man brimming with masculinity.

While finding a girlfriend is difficult, finding a boyfriend should be easy. Wang Xuan could clearly see that many of the Red-clothed Guest’s subordinates harbored such thoughts, infatuated by his beauty and willing to change for him.

"Are you suggesting I’m effeminate?" The Red-clothed Guest could not stand being described as "pretty" or compared to a woman.

Though he had feminine features, he was as sturdy as steel, with no trace of effeminacy.

Wang Xuan shook his head, casually swirling a wine cup in his hand, and said calmly, "Not at all. I merely wish to tell you that in Postnatal cultivation, your innate conditions must also be in harmony, otherwise you’ll achieve only half the results with twice the effort."

The Red-clothed Guest couldn’t discern the depth of the person before him, unaware of his cultivation level or origins, nor did he recognize that the person whose appearance and demeanor had changed was Wang Xuan.

Otherwise, he would have already left respectfully, for although Wang Xuan was strong now, he was merely a minor figure years ago. The Red-clothed Guest once looked down on Wang Xuan, and now it was difficult for him to look up to someone he once deemed lesser.

"Then I must seek advice," said the Red-clothed Guest.

Wang Xuan spoke freely, "You are blessed with feminine features yet possess a bold and heroic spirit; the fusion of Yin and Yang is extremely rare. If you cultivate a Yin-Yang Balance cultivation technique, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"When I was born, I must have had a purpose," as the saying goes, is very true. Many talents need to be developed; if a genius from one domain switched to another, they might achieve nothing.

The Red-clothed Guest had decent talent, but it hadn’t been developed, and his cultivation progress was too slow. Wang Xuan had pointed out a crucial aspect.

"Your insightful words have been heard, but if there is no solution, you only add to my worries by pointing out my issue," the Red-clothed Guest spoke with a tone of reverence.

The person before him being able to pinpoint his problem suggested there might be a solution, something he had yearned for but considered out of reach.

Wang Xuan gestured to the two remaining roast piglets on the table and said, "Wisdom should not be given lightly. I’ve yet to finish my late-night meal, and your knife skills aren’t bad; slice a piece of meat for me."

To an onlooker, with the two being strangers, Wang Xuan’s imperious demands would surely anger the Red-clothed Guest, leading him to feel his dignity was insulted.

However, the Red-clothed Guest merely furrowed his brow slightly, drawing a blade from his waist, and with a series of flashing cuts, the two roast piglets were reduced to bones, while over a thousand uniform slices of pork were neatly stacked on the dish.

"Senior, please enjoy your meal," the Red-clothed Guest said, sheathing his blade.

Wang Xuan said nothing more, slowly savoring the wine and meat, leaving the Red-clothed Guest standing aside for half an hour.

Once satisfied, on the other side, Zhou Hu and his lackeys were restless with impatience, scratching their heads incessantly.

"I have a Yin-Yang Atlas for you. After visualizing it, you can adjust the Yin-Yang and use it with the True Qi method, increasing your cultivation speed by several times," Wang Xuan said, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a seclusive and wise master.

The Red-clothed Guest, without hesitation, knelt to the ground and respectfully requested, "I beg the senior to bestow it upon me." Whether it was effective or not would soon be evident.

Wang Xuan nodded and gestured with a finger, directly sending the atlas into the Red-clothed Guest’s Sea of Consciousness. A Creation Magical Power transformed into several Yin-Yang Talismans, imprinting on his body.

In an instant, the Red-clothed Guest felt remarkably different. At this moment, he naturally confirmed that Wang Xuan was indeed a reclusive master with extremely high cultivation, far surpassing the leader.

"Thank you, senior. Your graciousness will be remembered by this junior, and I vow to repay you one day. I hope to be made aware of your illustrious name," expressed the Red-clothed Guest, sincerely.

Wang Xuan laughed heartily, his figure disappearing, leaving only his voice echoing, "You, in the Body Refining Realm, be it a Human Immortal or Earth Immortal, are nothing but ants I can crush with a breath. What use is your repayment to me?

What I do casually is not for me to remember. Cultivate well and do not kill innocents indiscriminately, or else you risk losing your head!"

Earnestly, the Red-clothed Guest kowtowed three times, leaving the others dumbfounded, realizing this legendary encounter with Immortal Fate happened right before them.

They rued not having implored the Immortal for their own chance, forcing them only to watch enviously as the Red-clothed Guest benefited.

The Red-clothed Guest dusted himself off, understanding that today’s opportunity would allow him to break through to the Vajra Realm, and at a speed three to five times faster than he had anticipated.

Such an incredible event, yet merely an effortless gesture by that unnamed senior, demonstrating the senior’s power!

"Though the senior seeks no reward, this junior is grateful and will never forget!" declared the Red-clothed Guest solemnly.

Unbeknownst to him, Wang Xuan had left with a smile, unable to suppress a hearty laugh, feeling an extraordinary sense of amusement.

"Red-clothed Guest, back when we first crossed paths, although the difference in realm had me at a slight disadvantage, now you recognize me as a senior and are profoundly grateful, so I shall let bygones be bygones."

Wang Xuan found a great sense of accomplishment from his mischief. Despite his high status and strength, he was only in his twenties, still very young, and such antics, entertaining to him, would not amuse someone of one or two hundred years.

Of course, should the Red-clothed Guest learn the truth, it would undoubtedly evoke mixed emotions, as someone he once looked down on is now willingly worshiped, creating an unsettling disparity.

...

Mental Power enveloped a hundred-mile radius, everything within Wang Xuan’s control. Generally, Earth and Celestial Immortals wouldn’t randomly use Divine Thought to scan as it could easily offend other cultivators. Wang Xuan, however, used Mental Power to sense and Mind Projection for surveillance, avoiding these issues.

After returning from the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm last time, he was ambushed, realizing that creatures from the Abyss Realm had targeted him. As a young leader with astonishing potential from Mother Star, he was worthy of being eliminated at any cost.

Within less than an hour, he had detected over ten alien figures, all hiding on Mother Star, endeavoring to conceal their existence.

Since Earth, as the core of this civilization, was teeming with strong individuals, one careless move could expose them, with death ever looming.

"Five Demon Lords, three beings from the Evolution Realm, four Wizards, all at Earth Immortal level, seem just to be cannon fodder infiltrating Mother Star to create chaos."

Indeed, in Wang Xuan’s eyes, they were merely cannon fodder, only capable of causing confusion, ultimately becoming part of the Mother Star Immortals’ accolades.

They couldn’t influence the bigger picture, yet like bamboo splinters, they were tough to completely eliminate, causing nausea.

"Ah, only eleven left," Wang Xuan noted, seeing a Demon brutally slain by a disciple of the Mountain Gate, the battle claiming over a dozen lives.

These alien races likely had their means of sneaking onto Mother Star and wreaking havoc to divert Earth Civilization’s focus, delaying the main battleground’s progress.

Finding the alien smuggling routes would be a significant accomplishment; Wang Xuan remained patient, careful not to alert the enemy.

Alone, he quietly returned to the Spirit Valley villa area, taking out a crystal coffin. Inside lay a Celestial Divine Realm maiden, motionless, exuding a sacred aura.

Array Flags floated around, with profound runes appearing on them. The array, once set, securely sealed the area, forming a cage.

After a moment’s hesitation, Wang Xuan reached out with one push, opening the crystal coffin.
