Stronger from Earth

Chapter 373 - 372: Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art

Wang Xuan doesn’t consider himself a demon, but he’s not purely kind either. When necessary, he employs special means, just like now.

Shoujo Wei has to admit, she fears the current Wang Xuan, terrified that he might really pounce on her, pinning her down underneath him and doing wicked things.

After all, in her current state, she cannot wield any cultivation level, and thus, has no means of resistance, not even the ability to choose death.

"Do you know how to obey?" Wang Xuan lightly pinched Shoujo Wei’s chin, staring into her eyes as if he was about to devour her the next second.

Shoujo Wei hurriedly nodded: "I know, I know." Then she curled up pitifully.

"In the days ahead, I will supply your food and lodging, and ensure your safety. So tell me, shouldn’t you provide some sort of compensation?"

Wang Xuan knows Shoujo Wei holds many valuable things, and while her everyday storage space was ransacked by others, the true treasures are stored within her Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Moreover, material wealth cannot compare to the cultivation techniques and secret techniques she possesses, which are what he truly desires. Especially the Flesh Body transformation techniques of the Celestial Divine Realm, which have been developed over billions of years, digging into inherent divinity, innate talents, and divine techniques.

"What do you want?" Shoujo Wei asked weakly, her voice faint and low.

She understands that she is in Wang Xuan’s hands, with her identity and the cultivation techniques and secret techniques she possesses being her bargaining chip to ensure Wang Xuan treats her well. Without value, who knows how long she will live, or what fate she will meet.

Wang Xuan tapped his fingers against the sofa, "It seems that every direct lineage in your Celestial Race is taught the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, which is a renowned transformation technique of the Celestial Divine Realm.

There are many transformation techniques in the Celestial Divine Realm, and ones similar to your Celestial Race’s Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art are not rare, so if you teach it to me, it won’t be easily discovered.

Compared to your family’s cultivation technique, the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art shouldn’t count as much for me, right?" Wang Xuan maintained a blank expression, making Shoujo Wei uneasy as if he might fly into a rage at any moment.

"Isn’t this improper? There are dozens of transformation techniques within the Celestial Race, all created by strong ancestors while steadying their own paths, with remarkable effectiveness. If you want, I can provide them to you.

But the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art was founded by an ancient ancestor of our clan, a demigod, perfected over billions of years, its value unimaginable..."

"I won’t spread it, I’ll just cultivate it by myself." Wang Xuan said firmly, "You won’t begrudge it, will you?"

There was a hint of hypnosis in his gaze, his hand moving lower, causing Shoujo Wei to immediately say, "I’ll give it to you! But you must swear not to act inappropriately towards me."

"Inappropriate? What counts as inappropriate?" Wang Xuan rarely swears, as his immense fortune ensures any oath would succeed, so why would he foolishly do so?

Through spiritual cultivation and a hand filled with magic power, through intimidation and temptation, Wang Xuan ultimately acquired the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art without any cost, while Shoujo Wei finally managed to tidy her disheveled clothes, retreating to a corner, watching Wang Xuan warily.

Seeing Wang Xuan engrossed in researching the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, Shoujo Wei hesitated to speak, taking quite some time to recover from the fear of nearly losing her chastity earlier.

She asked, "How can I redeem myself?"

According to the Celestial Divine Realm’s calendar, she’s only thirteen this year, with twenty-three years to go before reaching the consensual adulthood.

Of course, a year in the Celestial Divine Realm is equivalent to two Earth years, as measured by light speed.

Though she appears graceful with stunning beauty, the reality is her psyche is far from mature, having been a treasured jewel in the palms of her parents and relatives, never having experienced such hardships.

The prior saintliness, speaking without a trace of earthly smoke, was merely her usual princess demeanor in front of servants; now reduced to a slave girl, her timidity surfaces.

It is precisely her inadequate spiritual cultivation that allowed Wang Xuan to seize three weaknesses, coercing her into relinquishing the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art.

"I’ve bought you now, you belong to me, just stay put honestly." Wang Xuan said indifferently.

In the Celestial Divine Realm, Shoujo Wei is just a juvenile, but converted to Earth’s calendar, she’s already in her twenties; had she truly been tough and withheld benefits, treating her as a furnace cauldron for Yang Replenishment wouldn’t matter, would it?

"I can offer you an Immortal-level cultivation technique." Shoujo Wei tentatively proposed.

Wang Xuan shook his head, inwardly finding the girl naive, utterly clueless in negotiation. Perhaps it’s the long lifespan of the Celestial Realm’s beings that makes adulthood at thirty-six, equivalent to over fifty in Earth’s time.

Maybe in the future, the Federation’s laws would also dictate that human adulthood is delayed, giving young people more time to grow, learn, and enhance their capabilities, postponing the responsibilities and obligations.

"Rest assured, if you’re obedient, I’ll remove the seals on you when the time is right, allowing you to return to the Celestial Divine Realm." Wang Xuan reassured Shoujo Wei.

As for removing the seals, that’s likely when he reaches the Divine Infant Realm and can suppress her with a single finger, returning to the Celestial Divine Realm? Such words would probably only deceive an innocent Wei.

Despite deceiving an underage girl, Wang Xuan feels no pangs of conscience; he and Shoujo Wei had no prior relationship, avoiding consuming her thoroughly is the extent of his kindness.

"Oh." Shoujo Wei clenched her fist, desperately wishing to punch the man before her, reminded of her mother’s teaching to severely punish any man daring to take liberties with her.

Unfortunately, she dared not do so.

"Cough, cough." Wang Xuan coughed twice, startling Shoujo Wei like a frightened rabbit into jumping, curling up in a corner, shivering.

Time passed swiftly until dawn, Shoujo Wei barely managed to sleep on the sofa all night, or rather, she hadn’t slept, frequently glancing at the meditating Wang Xuan, her gaze filled with longing at the nearby door.

"You want to go out?"

Upon hearing this, Shoujo Wei nodded, then shook her head: "I’m curious about what Earth Civilization looks like." But in reality, she was merely contemplating escaping at an opportune moment.

"In a few days, I’ll take you out." Wang Xuan applied the same comforting tactic he used on Yue Yi with Wei, adding, "The Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art you gave me is excellent, we’ll add a chicken leg for lunch."

Wang Xuan delved into studying the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, clearly aware of the formidable nature of this Forbidden Technique, refining the essence of the flesh and coalescing the purest heart blood, continuously replicating it until the entire body is replaced.

If this drop of heart blood contains an evident inherited talent bloodline from an ancestor, or activates the mysteries within the flesh, it might give rise to innate divine techniques.

Thus, through one round of transformation, his physique’s strength and life force could possibly uplift two or threefold, with the combat power in the same realm dramatically escalating. However, a single round alone would consume vast amounts of a cultivator’s time and effort.

At a lower realm, perhaps a year or half a year completes a round, but at a higher realm, it necessitates millennia, even millions of years, with a single great realm unable to complete one round.

This method of potential excavation induces substantial effects in enhancing physique, thereby solidifying the foundation in the same realm, enabling a being to harbor potential for advancing to higher realms.

Like Shoujo Wei, currently equivalent to Early Period of Divine Infant Realm cultivation level, yet exhibiting combat power at the Peak of Divine Infant; the credit of the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art is unquestionable.

Wang Xuan believes that as long as he successfully cultivates the Extreme Metamorphosis Divine Art, he can chase after, even surpass Clone Emperor Xuan in combat power at the same realm!

In the future, his combat power in the same realm would be crushing everyone, including other so-called young leaders from Immortal Holy Lands.

Then there’s no need for prolonged battles, settling a fight in minutes would suffice, and as the strongest in the same realm, killing opponents in a single stroke is the most impressive manner.
