Stronger from Earth
Chapter 322 - 321: Ominous Premonition
When it comes to land, the people of Huaxia have a deep attachment. Wang Xuan bought the land for convenience, so that there would be a place for his children to play in the future.
Before leaving, Roland lamented with resentment, "A frail lady like me, yet True Inheritor Wang shows no mercy, trapping me in the abyss with a wave of his hand."
"Your gracefulness is not what I seek, so why care?" Wang Xuan replied calmly. He was pondering when to return home, feeling the plan to enhance his family’s cultivation level should be put on the agenda, given his ability to do so.
Roland was left speechless and left in distress.
Tu Yingying strolled lightly and happened to see this scene, asking, "How did you bully her?"
"I just concluded a commercial transaction, causing the Life Science Group to earn ten trillion Star Yuan less," Wang Xuan said. Without knowing the bottom line, he might have sold this batch of demon beasts for a total price of ten to twelve trillion Star Yuan. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
A large part of business profits comes from information asymmetry. Wang Xuan might know that this batch of demon beasts could sell for more than eight trillion Star Yuan, but he wasn’t aware of the substantial profit margin of the Life Science Group.
"That’s a lot of money." Tu Yingying’s eyes were filled with gleaming banknotes. The assets of an Earth Immortal range from billions to hundreds of billions, only Celestial Immortals have wealth in the trillions, and that’s not even in cash.
"Do you want it?" Wang Xuan implied that he would dare to give it to her if she asked.
Tu Yingying quickly shook her head, "Mistresses in TV dramas only ask for money and houses; I wouldn’t dare ask for your money."
What use is that? Having the person means everything is yours.
"The pills I have at Immortal Dome Pavilion are in great demand, and I think your Qingqiu Fox Race also needs corresponding pills to shorten the growth period of young foxes.
Yingying, you could become an agent for Immortal Dome Pavilion, selling pills to the Qingqiu Fox Race, and within a year, you could earn tens of billions of Star Yuan," Wang Xuan smiled as he spoke.
"Do you have Wisdom Opening Pills? Blood Coagulation Pills? Transformation Pills? The Qingqiu Fox Race really lacks these!" Tu Yingying got a bit excited when she heard about pills.
The pills within the Human Race are in short supply, let alone those made specifically for the Demon Race. With Wisdom Opening Pills, a Little Demon can open their mind at a young age, exponentially accelerating early cultivation.
Earth Demons at the Sky Realm often have incomplete Transformation, so many demons prefer a higher realm transformation to avoid regretting their appearance.
"There can be." Wang Xuan smiled. It’s not that there is, but if she needs them, they can be made.
Racial cohesion made Tu Yingying willing to consider the Qingqiu Fox Race. Their tribe had no Immortal, and the growth period for young foxes was too long, taking too long for the accumulation of the tribe’s strength.
As she said, her hundred years were equivalent to a sixteen-year-old human girl, just maturing. Demons spend many years in ignorance, taking longer to accumulate in cultivation, incomparable to humans. Their desire for pills can thus be imagined.
While the two strolled and chatted in the Celestial Demon Realm, a letter of challenge was delivered, and the messenger was Ling Zai, the representative of the younger generation from the Divine Hall of Death.
When Ling Zai appeared before Wang Xuan, his appearance reminded Wang Xuan of Aamir Khan, a star figure from the national era of India.
With a tall and muscular build, oscillating between strength and elegance, short hair, long eyebrows, and prominent ears and nose, he appeared exceptionally handsome.
"Spiritual Path True Son? What business brings you to me?" Wang Xuan asked.
Ling Zai’s title was Spiritual Path True Son. If one were a young powerhouse from the religious holy lands of Christ, Jewish, and Islam, they would be prefixed with "Son of God," whereas the East and America did not have such a moniker.
Ling Zai glanced at Tu Yingying. Though their cultivation levels were similar, his combat power could easily crush hers. With just one glance, Tu Yingying felt pressured.
"My junior sister came to challenge you. It was fine to defeat her, but why tear down my platform?" Ling Zai said.
Wang Xuan inquired instead, "Do you think her Peak of Earth Immortal has eighty to ninety percent of the King of Earth Immortals’ strength? The problem is she took it seriously, to her own doom."
If one cannot see themselves clearly and overestimates their strength, they will eventually end in disaster. The young Lingdu had been spoiled by Ling Zai.
Ling Zai knew the power of the King of Earth Immortals. In those days, he was unbeatable in the same realm when he held that title.
"She’s merely an inexperienced child." Ling Zai sighed, "I hope you can apologize to her. She lost all motivation after being provoked by you."
He cherished his junior sister like a precious gem, yet in Wang Xuan’s eyes, she was like a gardenia flower to be squeezed at will, hurting her feelings. Naturally, Ling Zai came to "reason" with Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan knew this made no sense, but Ling Zai said it with underlying implications, believing Wang Xuan would go.
"Are you threatening me?" Wang Xuan’s face turned cold.
Currently, he indeed was no match for Spiritual Path True Son, solely because this former King of Earth Immortals was now in the Divine Infant Realm.
"It’s not a threat, it’s a suggestion," Ling Zai said, "I’m willing to gift you a Celestial Grade Celestial Treasure as compensation."
But Wang Xuan pointed to his face and said, "You don’t care about your reputation, but I do. If something happens to you and I am still alive, consider what will become of your junior sister."
Hatred can last for a long time, especially for a cultivator.
Perhaps love really clouded Ling Zai’s judgment, or maybe he was too confident, thinking he would stand at the peak in this life, so he didn’t care about arrogance on the path of cultivation.
"So, are you threatening me too?" Ling Zai didn’t expect that Wang Xuan, two Great Realms below him, was still unyielding.
Wang Xuan nodded, "And what if I am? One mountain surpasses another. You must know you are not yet the Immortal; you’re not even the strongest in the Divine Infant Realm. How can you carry on with your airs?"
Currently, the strongest in the Divine Infant Realm was his clone! How could Wang Xuan fear Ling Zai?
In fact, in a life-and-death fight, this Ling Zai, highly adept in the soul path, might not be his match; the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo surpasses the Mixed Element Martial Scripture in depth, and his Primordial Spirit had long been different.
Regrettably, Wang Xuan was not eager to take risks. There’s no wisdom in clashing with a young king from an Immortal Holy Land for no reason. Weighing gains and losses, the decision was easy.
At these words, Ling Zai’s heart ignited with fury, his aura surging, making Tu Yingying retreat three paces, clearly far weaker.
Suddenly he lifted his head, making no move, for he was aware of being locked on. Any rash move would incur a thunderous strike upon him.
"Is that your confidence?" Ling Zai sneered.
Wang Xuan replied, "The current strongest in the Divine Infant Realm is right beside you, and you don’t even know, which shows how far you are from that level."
Ling Zai frowned, unsure of the relation between the strongest Divine Infant and Wang Xuan, but provoking a King of Earth Immortals and a Divine Infant stronghold was not wise.
Even though his talent was unparalleled.
"It seems I came for nothing." Ling Zai cautiously acknowledged making a mistake, realizing initiating a fight here would bring great disadvantage. Unable to achieve his goal, it was time to leave.
Hurriedly coming and going, Tu Yingying patted her chest, exclaiming, "This Spiritual Path True Son is really strong."
"Indeed, his strength is undeniable," Wang Xuan had just said, when suddenly a roar sounded from afar, and Ling Zai began battling someone fiercely.
Startled, Wang Xuan shook his head, "Ling Zai is in trouble; unless he breaks a few bones, he’s unlikely to leave unscathed."
The clone’s temper was certainly not as good as his, absolutely domineering, unable to tolerate any slight. If there’s anger in the heart, surely it will burst forth.
When the Heaven-Reaching Rod strikes, many faces turned pale, given that on the recently ended battlefield, 38 Celestial Demons perished beneath this rod.
Twelve Low-Rank, twenty Middle-Rank, and six Upper-Rank Celestial Demons comparable to the Jade Platform Realm, evidencing that person’s ferocity and absolute strength.
Unless a True Immortal appears, no one could stop him!
In a same-realm battle, Ling Zai’s cultivation far from reached the Peak of Divine Infant; he couldn’t be a match for Di Xuan, ultimately only fleeing.
As this event concluded, few wished to challenge Wang Xuan in the forthcoming time. All were elites, adept at battling across realms easily.
Yet one by one, they all fell in Wang Xuan’s hands.
Many aspired to snatch the title of King of Earth Immortals, but the difficulty was not ordinary, and eventually, no one spoke of challenges anymore, as the gap was too large.
Underneath a grand name, there is no mediocrity!
The ignorant unwillingly accepted it. Those aware of the truth from the Immortal Holy Lands, each one kept silent and did not attempt a challenge, knowing it was bound to fail.
In the drizzling rain, Wang Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of unease. This emotion spread continuously, disturbing his cultivation.
"I have an ominous premonition, what about you?" Wang Xuan communicated with his clone, but even with Di Xuan’s three talents, there was no such foreboding.
"Could something have happened at home?" Di Xuan speculated.
Wang Xuan shook his head, "In any case, while in the Celestial Demon Realm now, I feel uncomfortable and wish to leave. Whether the premonition is right or not, precautions are necessary."
In fact, he too had no clue where this ominous premonition arose, as the Celestial Demon Realm seemed orderly with nothing unusual.
