Stronger from Earth-Chapter 61: Quota

The aura of Chen Qingniu became increasingly profound, with his physique and soul harmonizing perfectly to reach a peak state, achieving a union of body and soul.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he becomes an Earth Immortal, leaping onto the Immortal Gate, soaring freely with a long life. The Earth Immortal Realm is something many yearn and revere, yet now it’s within his reach.

In comparison, Wang Xuan knew his progress was negligible. To truly enhance cultivation, an Immortal Sect could easily elevate you to the Vajra Realm with just one pill.

"As someone at the peak of Organ Refining, I’m not even considered a master at the Martial Arts Hall, let alone at Immortal Martial Mountain. You two mustn’t overpraise me; I can’t handle it," Wang Xuan said.

For a place like Immortal Martial Mountain, renowned for its eminent figures, being below Earth Immortal really doesn’t matter. As for the Body Refining Seventh Realm, they wouldn’t bother to give it a second glance.

"You have your own opportunities. Who’s to say what the future holds? Like you, many who’ve suddenly gained special opportunities and rapidly risen in cultivation. On the Mother Star, there aren’t a thousand in a year, but there’re at least eight hundred. Don’t be complacent," He the Sixth reminded.

"That many?" Wang Xuan was shocked. He’d always worried that his rapid advancement in cultivation could lead to unknown dangers.

"Even more than that. I could randomly create a few hundred," said He the Sixth nonchalantly.

Wang Xuan complimented, "Elder, your cultivation is sky-high, a true master, like a building with hundreds of stories."

After practicing martial arts, Chen Qingniu also began to rest. He had something to discuss with Wang Xuan, something good.

Standing outside Chen Qingniu’s villa, Wang Xuan curiously observed the surrounding mist. The original villa was nowhere to be seen, completely shrouded in white fog.

He walked in and found that he couldn’t see ahead even three feet, having walked a hundred meters without reaching the villa, which was an impossibility as the nearby villa was only twenty meters away.

When he stepped back, he walked out of the mist in just a few steps, evidently showing that the villa was covered by an array.

"It’s truly amazing," Wang Xuan exclaimed.

After bathing, a table with high-nutrition food and drinks was already prepared. The two sat down, and Wang Xuan asked about the nearby villa.

Chen Qingniu laughed and shook his head, "That’s the residence of my Fourth Senior Sister, Lin Xiyue. Didn’t you see it before? She prefers peace and doesn’t like interacting with others. It’s best not to disturb her."

His own five senior brothers and sisters, each with cultivation levels far superior to his, with the eldest brother just entering the True Immortal Realm a year ago, already a mainstay, even celebrated by the mountain gate.

The second brother is on the Ascension Platform, has been in the Jade Platform Realm for years, considered the peak of the third level of Celestial Immortal, not too far from True Immortal.

The third brother is in the Divine Infant Realm, the second level of Celestial Immortal. The fourth sister approaches the Divine Infant, all renowned prodigies. Yet he’s the weakest, not even an Earth Immortal.

"What exactly is the matter you wish to discuss with me?" Wang Xuan couldn’t help but ask.

Since even Chen Qingniu called it a good matter, it surely wouldn’t disappoint.

Chen Qingniu opened his mouth, "Do you know of the Gate of the World? The Mother Star possesses numerous Gates of the World connected to other Doomsday Worlds. Each world’s destruction brings both death and wealth."

Earth would connect to those Doomsday Worlds on the brink of destruction, absorbing world fragments after their collapse to convert into its nourishment for growth.

Though many local civilizations are thriving and resource-laden, they ultimately become rootless duckweed.

In search of survival, intelligent beings either invade the Mother Star or negotiate to become part of the Federation.

"Of course I know. The Martial Arts Realm, Yellow Springs Realm, Purple Crystal Realm, Red Moon Realm, Barbaric Realm, Mage Realm, Three Eyes Elf Realm, and others. After the Mother Star swallowed the life source stars of these shattered worlds, their star domains became affiliated star domains of the Mother Star.

The prosperity of the Mother Star owes much to the resources from Doomsday Worlds and their star domains’ exploitation; it’s simply exorbitant profits," Wang Xuan remarked.

All Mother Star citizens are aware that as long as two civilizations remain unaware of each other’s existence, all is fine. But once discovered, it leads to war and conquest.

No civilization in any world is willing to be completely assimilated or controlled by other intelligent beings.

These Doomsday Worlds’ civilizations, amidst the World Will’s dying struggle, attempt to usurp, usually opting for war against the Mother Star.

As soon as the World Origin dissipates, native cultivators’ fortune, qualifications, and resources severely decline, akin to a rootless child, even more pitiful than weeds; both civilization potential and individual potential plunge into the abyss.

On several occasions, when the Mother Star endured threats from powerful worlds, massive battles occurred near the Gate of the World, leading to billions of deaths on the Mother Star.

Fortunately, the Mother Star ultimately emerged victorious, allowing them to live in peace. Otherwise, the Mother Star would no longer exist.

Under such threats, they can only strive to protect their rights and their Mother Star, as the contest between worlds ends in two ways: the Mother Star’s victory or being consumed by other worlds.

Chen Qingniu continued, "Wealth is one aspect, but at a certain level, gold and silver are merely auxiliary cultivation items, with few cultivation resources purchasable and diminishing assistance, rendering monetary value secondary.

In reality, cultivators entering the Otherworld gain the Mother Star’s fortune’s blessing, significantly accelerating cultivation speed, and future opportunities abound, allowing you to soar.

Do you know that Meiling’s greatest secret is the emergence of a new Gate of the World, marking the start of another Otherworld exploration?"

Upon hearing this news, Wang Xuan was astonished, asking, "What is its ownership?"

The Gate of the World, the returns it yields is immense beyond question, effortlessly creating several trillionaires and providing billions of jobs.

"The dominance lies with Immortal Martial Mountain, with Celestial Sword Mountain allocated thirty percent of the profits," Chen Qingniu explained.

"So, what is the connection between this Gate of the World and the good matter you mentioned?" Wang Xuan inquired with curiosity.

Chen Qingniu answered, "The personnel entering is crucial, especially the first batch whose fortune blessing is the greatest, requiring controlled numbers.

Once the fortune blessing rises to a slow growth phase, the second batch is sent in, calculated by the month interval. Though danger is considerable, the first entrants reap the most benefits.

This world’s initial entrants are limited to a hundred people, making these slots tremendously precious."

How precious are these hundred slots? Even Immortal Martial Mountain, with the most slots, needs profit-sharing.

Under the Mother Star’s fortune’s blessing, cultivation speed and talent will enhance, potentially advancing disciples initially capped at Celestial Immortal to even greater heights.

This is the value of the slots, and why numerous disciples fiercely compete for them.

"There’s a slot for you," Chen Qingniu solemnly stated.

"Me?" Wang Xuan felt a blend of surprise and joy, recognizing the unrivaled value of such a slot for someone like him. Fortune is mysterious yet truly exists.

With fortune, heroes are made by the times, while the unfortunate face constant struggles.

The delighted Wang Xuan couldn’t comprehend how such a slot fell upon him, seemingly an unlikely candidate!

"Why couldn’t it be you? It’s because of you that Celestial Sword Mountain’s share dropped from forty to thirty percent," Chen Qingniu explained the context, and Wang Xuan finally understood.

"My master ultimately decided to grant you this slot. Shortly, you’ll join numerous mountain gate prodigies through the Gate of the World into the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan’s heart naturally surged with thrill and fervor. Participating in such a grand event isn’t easy, worthy of history’s engravement.

But after a calm reflection, he couldn’t help but smile wryly, "With my modest strength, how can I compare to the mountain gate disciples? I’d likely just be a drag."

Only then did he understand why so many at Celestial Sword Mountain resented him. Once inside the Eight-armed Celestial King Realm, they might wish they could kill him immediately.

However, there was no opting out, as only constant growth could make him a strong figure, capable of controlling his destiny in the future.

Chen Qingniu seemed aware of his concerns, explaining, "Young individuals entering the Otherworld won’t exceed the Blood Exchange Realm due to Otherworld’s suppression, only allowing for higher realm cultivators after partial acculturation with the Mother Star."

"Is that so?" It was Wang Xuan’s first time hearing this explanation, which reassured him.

In this way, he could confidently partake in exploring the Doomsday Otherworld, acquiring copious cultivation resources, contending for fortune, and gaining the opportunity to rise like a dragon.
