Chapter 201: Chapter 138: Master, I’ll Warm Your Bed for You

’Hidden Spirit Root, Celestial Gate, Invincible Road, Holy Land...’

Wang Xiao silently mulled over these strange, new terms.

This was all information that mortals like Chen Fang had never encountered.

’It seems this Shangguan Xiyue has another fortuitous encounter waiting for her in the future.’

’However, whether that encounter will change after meeting me is another matter entirely.’

’According to the information I’ve analyzed, the Celestial Gate will open in the 109,600th year of the Great Immortal Calendar. This calendar was established by the Vast Immortal Sect.’

’It is currently the 109,480th year of the Great Immortal Calendar, which means the Celestial Gate won’t open for another one hundred and twenty years.’

’But what exactly *is* the Celestial Gate?!’

After pondering for a moment without reaching a conclusion, Wang Xiao shook his head.

’Forget it. The most important thing right now is to recover my strength. Without strength, knowing more is useless.’

Before entering this world, Wang Xiao already had a general understanding of this realm of Heaven and Earth.

He was certain that Tier Six Life forms existed in the background.

Therefore, he not only had to recover his full strength but also cultivate to at least the level of a Tier Six Life. Only then would he have the power to traverse this realm of Heaven and Earth as he pleased!

Wang Xiao silently circulated his blood and qi, revolving his Inner Qi and feeling the changes throughout his flesh, blood, muscles, and bones.

According to his calculations, he should be able to complete Body Refining and Qi Condensation in a month at the fastest.

That would be roughly the strength of a Tier Three Life.

If it were in the past, without the aid of Elixir Pills and various resources, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to cultivate at such a speed.

However, Wang Xiao had traversed the Three Realms and cultivated no less than ten thousand techniques. Furthermore, he had long since broken through to the level of One Thought Reaches Heaven.

His control over his own cells had already reached a microscopic level.

The speed at which he recovered his strength was naturally much faster.

Even without Elixir Pills, just by eating and drinking normally every day, Wang Xiao’s cultivation speed was faster than that of an ordinary person consuming pills.

This was because he could absorb the essence of any food, without the slightest waste, and convert it all into the energy he needed.

This was the advantage of his high-level perspective; once a realm was attained, the insight was permanent!

Of course, if he had the aid of various Elixir Pills, Wang Xiao’s cultivation speed could reach an even higher level.

’Without a Spirit Root, I can’t pursue Cultivation Immortality, so I’ll just practice martial arts. Immortality and martial arts must have something in common. Or rather, all methods of cultivation and evolution ultimately lead to the same destination.’

Wang Xiao thought to himself.

And so, Wang Xiao settled down in the Imperial Harem.

The courtyard he lived in was quite secluded. Besides the servants who delivered his meals, almost no one ever came by.

Having received Eunuch Chen’s instructions, the Imperial Court Order didn’t dare to be neglectful or harsh toward Wang Xiao. The food delivered each time consisted of top-quality milk products.

In fact, in Wang Xiao’s eyes, these milk products were already comparable to some Spirit Level Elixirs.

’This realm of Heaven and Earth is brimming with Spiritual Qi. People living in this environment, even ordinary ones, probably live longer than people from other worlds. Not to mention the plants and beasts; bathed in Spiritual Qi, they naturally develop all sorts of extraordinary properties.’

Wang Xiao understood.

He was quite content with this arrangement, tirelessly drinking the milk formula Shangguan Xiyue fed him every day.

His Cultivation was also growing with each passing day.

「Three months later.」

He had even finished refining his Five Viscera, reaching the peak of a Tier Three Life!

"Xiyue, go have the Imperial Court Order send over some more books."

Wang Xiao’s small body lay on a cooling mat as he placed a book titled *Mortal Cultivation Immortality Chronicles* to the side.

It was a novel of miscellaneous tales, telling the story of how a mere mortal embarked on the long road of Cultivation Immortality.

However, it mostly contained interesting anecdotes about cultivation; proper cultivation knowledge and Cultivation Techniques were, of course, absent.

"Young Master, what other books would you like to read? I’ll go have someone fetch them for you right away."

Shangguan Xiyue picked up the book beside Wang Xiao.

In these three months, she had grown completely accustomed to the maturity and wisdom Wang Xiao displayed, which far surpassed his age.

Speaking at one month, walking at two, reading at three...

Shangguan Xiyue had never seen anyone as exceptionally gifted as her Young Master.

However, deep down, she was thrilled.

The more amazing and special the Young Master was, the greater her chance of leaving the Imperial Harem.

In fact, it might be just around the corner.

Therefore, she followed Wang Xiao’s instructions to the letter.

"Any book will do. Works by great scholars or geographical accounts would be best." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Wang Xiao sat up, crossing his legs into the full-lotus position.

"Alright."

Shangguan Xiyue left the room and asked the guard standing watch outside to go find more books.

During these three months, she had also occasionally spoken with the guards outside and had a general idea of why her Young Master had been sent to the Imperial Harem.

His mother, the Empress, had died during a difficult childbirth, and he himself lacked a Spirit Root, leading to the Emperor’s rejection!

It was said that if Eunuch Chen hadn’t pleaded for him, their Young Master would have been thrown to his death right then and there.

’As expected, the imperial family is the most heartless. If His Majesty knew our Young Master was so precocious, I wonder if he would change his mind and bring the Young Master out of here.’

Shangguan Xiyue grew hopeful.

However, she also found something strange.

’Didn’t they say the Young Master doesn’t have a Spirit Root? Why does he meditate like those Cultivators every day?!’

「Inside the room.」

Wang Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating and circulating his Inner Qi to temper his body while silently digesting the contents of the ancient books he had read over the past few days.

He hadn’t specifically looked for Cultivation Techniques to read.

Besides, the Imperial Court Order wouldn’t have been able to procure such cultivation books anyway.

What he read were mostly miscellaneous cultural records, minor anecdotes about cultivation, and even some gossip.
