Stronger from Earth-Chapter 128: Hall of Truth

Su Xiaowei finds her summer life fulfilling. She does what she wants, playing piano, painting, walking Xiaoha, and occasionally swimming in the pool at the villa.

However, she noticed that her sister, Su Qiubai, is becoming increasingly strange lately.

"Qiubai, why aren't you playing games anymore? Isn't that game something you've always played with your classmates?" Su Xiaowei asked curiously.

Every morning, Su Qiubai leaves early and returns after three to five hours. When asked upon her return, she remains silent.

"It's nothing, just spending time with classmates." Su Qiubai said, her glasses reflecting some content that captivated her.

"Liar, you didn't bring anything back from shopping," Su Xiaowei scoffed.

Su Qiubai replied nonchalantly, "How could a grown person like me get lost? It's you who's young and easily deceived."

Her gaze drifted towards the rose on the bedroom desk. When Xiaowei returned with it, she was overjoyed but also worried that it might wither. She took considerable effort to seal the rose in hot melt adhesive.

Su Qiubai's peculiar behavior lasted over ten days until she asked to borrow money, a substantial amount between fifty to sixty thousand yuan, which left Xiaowei puzzled.

"Qiubai, what kind of thing requires you to spend so much money? You should at least talk to Auntie." Su Xiaowei said, growing concerned.

"Xiaowei, my cultivation talent isn't as good as yours. When you become an immortal, your sister might still be just a regular person.

But things are different now. As long as I grasp the truth of evolution, I can attain the knowledge of immortality, understand its mysteries, and eventually become immortal.

So, I need some money for this, so your sister can…"

"Qiubai, did you fall for a scam?" Su Xiaowei asked.

Su Qiubai rolled her eyes, "If you don't believe me, I'll show you."

"Well, okay." Su Xiaowei was truly worried about her sister, so she wore something simpler and made herself look plainer with makeup to avoid attracting attention.

"Stop fussing, let's go."

Following Su Qiubai's lead, Xiaowei zigzagged through paths and eventually entered an underground passage, reaching a massive cave where hundreds of people gathered.

Su Qiubai's female classmate tugged on her sleeve and asked, "Why did you bring your sister here?"

Despite the crowd of nearly a thousand people, the cave was eerily quiet, with everyone attentively listening to an impassioned speech from a middle-aged man at the front.

"The power of humanity, the civilization we see today, truly began after the explosion of scientific development. In ancient times, even smelting steel was difficult, but now we possess strange materials beyond imagination.

From fire to agriculture, from gunpowder to atomic bombs, from steam engines to electricity, humanity has climbed step by step. Today, the intelligence and knowledge of an ordinary person are hundreds, even thousands, of times greater than those of our ancestors.

Why has humanity become so strong? Because we grasped the truth of science, its mysteries revealed through knowledge of gravity, quantum mechanics, antimatter, and dark matter theories, laying the foundation for humanity.

Similarly, the path of cultivation also has its truth, but these truths are held by sects and families, who are growing ever more powerful, hoarding resources.

Will these truths be handed over to us? No, they won't.

Will we, the common folk, remain ordinary forever? No, we are not content with that.

Thanks to Providence, the Lord of Truth has emerged. He possesses the mystery of evolution, the truth of cultivation, offering us the secrets to evolve both body and soul perpetually, attaining immortality.

Like science, cultivation has its special knowledge. Once grasped, we can soar to new heights, evolving continuously unto eternal life!

…"

The fiery words stirred a strong desire among the crowd in the cave. They resented the powerful sects and families for controlling the secrets of immortality, preventing them from eternal life, and stealing their cultivation resources.

They even began to distrust the Federation, believing that the government's education was a tool of deception, meant only for maintaining control, until now they discovered the "truth."

They refused to be deceived any longer.

Following this, a follower of the Truth Sect ascended the stage. The leading middle-aged man gently placed his hands on the follower's head, akin to enlightenment, continuously whispering the knowledge of immortality and instilling its mysteries.

Before long, as he muttered incomprehensible words of the immortal mysteries, the follower's muscles visibly bulged, becoming several times stronger.

A massive rock weighing nearly a ton was easily lifted by his hands, surprising those who knew him, as he was merely an ordinary person before.

...

Back home, Su Qiubai kept reiterating to Su Xiaowei that acquiring the knowledge of immortality and understanding its secrets would lead to eternal life.

Hadn't she seen the person who went on stage successfully evolve after just grasping a small part of the evolutionary code?

Yet, no matter how much she thought about it, Su Xiaowei felt it was wrong and argued, "Su Qiubai, that Truth Sect is a cult."

Perhaps the sect did possess some secrets known only to cultivators, and they might have items or gene potions enhancing people.

But the brainwashing tactics, inciting the masses to oppose the government and society, were far too frightening.

Still, Su Qiubai refused to believe the Truth Sect was a cult, unwilling to change her mind.

This left Su Xiaowei very troubled.

Thinking it over, she realized she couldn't allow her sister to fall into a deep pit, someday being exploited financially and emotionally.

"I should find Uncle Wang; he must have a solution!" Su Xiaowei thought.

She hurriedly picked up her personal terminal to contact Wang Xuan, determined to protect her only sister.

...

Black and White Mountain wasn't too large and not too small, with Spiritual Bamboo Groves being a spiritual product, previously owned by that Celestial Demon-level giant panda.

Aside from this, Wang Xuan also has a piece of Spiritual Land, constantly tended to, containing some spirit medicine, which, although not high-level, is sufficient for his use up to the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Most of the supplies come from Hefang Mountain, delivered monthly for the Mountain Lord's cultivation.

In terms of food, clothing, and housing, our duty is to ensure you have ample energy for other matters, free from mundane concerns."

The steward, knowledgeable about Black and White Mountain, oversees more than ten people responsible for cooking, tending the spirit medicine field, arranging the palace, guarding, and receiving guests.

Moreover, He Fang arranged two young and beautiful maidens for Wang Xuan, whose charm was evident when he saw them as radiant beauty flowers.

"Very good, with this arrangement, everything should follow rules. I dislike worrying about mundane matters, so ensure the food is meticulously prepared to meet my body's needs.

If my senior brothers or sisters seek me, notify me promptly unless I'm in seclusion. As for visits from strangers, just pass their calling cards."

After speaking, Wang Xuan stepped into the palace's treasure vault, where Black and White Mountain's important items were stored, though currently not much was inside.

Within the vault, Wang Xuan saw the gifts from senior brothers and sisters.

"Senior Brother Big Cyan Ox gifted me a property in the University City villa district, presumably prepared long ago.

Senior Brother Zhou Wu's gift turned out to be a combat puppet, of material so durable that even cultivators of the Vajra Realm find it hard to damage, seemingly a protective item for me, though its combat power remains uncertain.

Hmm, my Fourth Senior Sister gifted a silk Taoist robe, an extraordinary magical treasure that can alter its appearance freely, keeping clean and shielding. Its defensive capabilities should be decent.

My Second Senior Brother provided a Celestial Treasure, uh, named the Fire Dragon Shield, an offensive treasure. I'm unsure if I can activate it with my inner strength.

As for my Master Brother Wu Zhutian, he gave me a piece of Immortal Gold, likely for crafting a weapon.

Hey, where's the gift from my Third Senior Brother? Steward!"

Wang Xuan inquired.

"Mountain Lord, your Third Senior Brother's gift is too large to be transported up the mountain, so it's placed at the southeast foot of the mountain."

With a leap, Wang Xuan covered hundreds of meters, bypassing the bamboo grove. There he saw a sparkling, solid metal-colored spaceship.
