Chapter 198: Chapter 136: Extraordinary Starry Sky, a Vast and Boundless New World

"Of course, this can only serve as a supportive tool. Think of it like adding a few extra planks to your fishing boat. If you want to catch a shark—something on the level of the Origin Rules—you’ll still need to create a new Technique, reinforcing and expanding your own boat from within."

"Thank you, Elder Gu."

Wang Xiao accepted the World in the Sand.

However,

he didn’t plan on letting the Book of Space-Time refine it immediately. He wanted to use it himself for a while first.

It wouldn’t be too late to let the Book of Space-Time refine it once the World in the Sand was no longer of any use to him.

Gu Tiandu waved his hand. "It’s just a trivial bit of help, nothing to speak of. You, on the other hand, have an arduous task. The difficulty of creating a new Technique is no less than that of creating a new world, and we can’t offer you any experience."

"However, if you need any external assistance, you can contact the Supreme Federation directly. I’ve already had them classify your matter at the highest level."

"Okay, I’ll do my best."

Wang Xiao nodded.

He truly hadn’t expected that refining Earth would require him to condense the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits.

Moreover,

he could already feel that his Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul had reached a point where they could not advance further. How was he supposed to get any stronger?!

’It seems my only choice is to go to the next world to find a method.’

’Trying to invent a solution while holed up in the Real World definitely won’t work.’

"Alright, I’ll be going then. Don’t feel pressured. We old guys have your back."

Gu Tiandu came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Staring at the World in the Sand in his hand, Wang Xiao couldn’t help but activate the One Thought Reaches Heaven Magic Technique.

In an instant,

his Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul merged directly into it.

HUM!

In that instant,

Wang Xiao felt a vast Heaven and Earth materialize before his eyes.

At that moment,

he felt as if he had become the heavens, looking down upon everything in the world below.

However, this Heaven and Earth contained no living beings. It was a dead world!

’Simulate the Great Dao Rules...’

Wang Xiao tried to visualize the traces of the Great Dao Rules he had previously comprehended.

In an instant,

rain began to fall throughout the world, followed by the eruption of raging flames!

Immediately after, earthquakes continuously erupted, as if the very ground was splitting apart.

All sorts of Great Dao Rules erupted throughout this world,

deepening Wang Xiao’s comprehension with every passing moment.

’So this is the essence of water. It’s incredible.’

Wang Xiao felt he was gradually beginning to understand everything.

To comprehend the Great Dao Rules, one must constantly observe the workings of things, grasping the whole from the smallest details in order to perceive their essence.

The essence of a thing is like bait. As long as you can craft the bait, you can catch the fish.

The World in the Sand allowed Wang Xiao to understand the essence of things more quickly, enabling him to craft this "bait."

This way, when it came time for him to comprehend the Great Dao Rules, his speed would be extremely fast!

After obtaining the World in the Sand,

Wang Xiao didn’t rush to traverse worlds. Instead, he re-entered the Incense Realm to slowly study it.

He continued until two months had passed in the Real World, which was sixty years in the Incense Realm.

Only when Wang Xiao felt he could make no more progress did he withdraw.

’After I enter the next world and create a new Technique, I’ll let you refine this World in the Sand.’

Wang Xiao didn’t know if the Book of Space-Time could hear him, but he silently offered the reassurance anyway.

He found Pei Shiqi and, after giving her full authority over the Martial Arts Hall, announced that he would be entering a period of seclusion.

Any and all matters were to wait until he emerged; he was not to be disturbed.

After arranging everything,

Wang Xiao entered the Training Room and lay down in the Biological Pod.

’Traverse.’

Wang Xiao recited silently in his mind.

HUM.

In an instant,

the Book of Space-Time emitted a golden light that enveloped Wang Xiao.

Then,

his soul was projected directly into the Book of Space-Time, as if traversing infinite dimensions of space and time to arrive in a new world.

...

Wang Xiao slowly regained consciousness.

Then,

he found himself being held high up in the air by someone.

Immediately after,

an enraged roar suddenly erupted from below him.

"This cursed child, an ill omen from birth, has killed my beloved consort! On top of that, he’s a worthless piece of trash with no Spirit Root! What use do I have in keeping him alive? I might as well just smash him to death!"
