Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Xiong Zhaoyuan couldn't hold back his tears as he left Tingyu Building.

Everyone knows that the World Source is the highest-grade Nascent Soul treasure.

If the Source Force from the Lower Realms could be offered to the Haotian consciousness, and the Heavenly Dao rewards breaking the Golden Core to ascend to immortal status, then the Nascent Soul formed would not only be of a higher tier, but also lay the foundation for the Great Dao.

Divinity Transformation is hopeful!

This is a dream that Xiong Zhaoyuan had never dared to hope for.

Because the World Source is too rare.

Throughout the ages, countless Golden Core cultivators have risked their lives to explore the Lower Realms in search of the World Source, leading to the disappearance of many Divine Souls.

Successful ones are always the few!

Yet despite this, a large number of cultivators continually forge ahead.

Although it feels unreal, intuition tells Xiong Zhaoyuan that Wang Chen isn't joking with him.

The Golden Core True Person couldn't help but clench his fists.

The massive stone weighing on his heart was suddenly lifted halfway.

He knows that this opportunity is once in a lifetime.

And the truth that Xiong Zhaoyuan understands, naturally Xiong Liangpeng, the Nascent Soul patriarch, would understand too, but he is more realistic and rational: "Actually, as long as I leave the Xiong Clan with one Nascent Soul, it is enough."

No matter the method, even if there are pills that allow Xiong Zhaoyuan to successfully condense a Nascent Soul, the quality of the condensed Nascent Soul wouldn't matter.

"How dare I joke with the elder on such a big matter."

Wang Chen smiled and said, "However, I currently have no channel to the Lower Realms, unless the elder can solve this issue."

Originally, Wang Chen had thought about plundering the World Source from the Cangqing Domain to help Xiong Zhaoyuan break the Golden Core to condense the Nascent Soul.

But after careful consideration, he felt this was inappropriate.

The Cangqing Domain is Wang Chen's private little world, and once its World Source is exposed to others, as long as Xiong Zhaoyuan captures a trace of its aura, he could potentially locate this small world.

When that happens, crafting a treasure like the Passing World Pearl would allow him to descend into the Cangqing Domain at any time!

Although the possibility is very low, even if there's a one in ten thousand chance, Wang Chen didn't want to take the risk.

Besides, he wanted to fatten the Cangqing Domain a bit more, so when he charges towards Divinity Transformation, he can offer it in one go to maximize its value.

Giving it to Xiong Zhaoyuan would definitely be a loss!

Since he couldn't use the Cangqing Domain, Wang Chen decided to take an alternative path.

He would let Xiong Liangpeng provide a channel to the Lower Realms for him.

He could simply collect it.

After going through a few worlds, Wang Chen has gained considerable experience in obtaining the World Source, and he also has a Nascent Soul-level Life-Substitute Puppet to ensure his safety.

This method is the best and can be called mutually beneficial.

Channels to the Lower Realms are mostly controlled by major powers and influential clans, and Wang Chen doesn't know if Xiong Liangpeng has such channels or connections.

It's no problem if he doesn't; at worst, Wang Chen would help Xiong Zhaoyuan condense the Nascent Soul in another way.

But Wang Chen didn't think the other party could resist such temptation.

Carelessly condensed Nascent Souls are not on the same level as Nascent Souls sacrificed to the Haotian consciousness!

Wang Chen had already tasted the sweetness.

Of course, Xiong Liangpeng understood the intricacies involved, and suddenly showed a peculiar expression.

Feeling as if he had boarded Wang Chen's pirate ship, making him feel trapped.

He didn't ask Wang Chen if he was certain to obtain the World Source – something no one could guarantee.

But since Wang Chen dared to say so, he surely had confidence.

Xiong Liangpeng believed that he wouldn't give a hundred percent promise either.

Should he take the risk?

The mind of this Nascent Soul True Immortal had never been more conflicted than at this moment!

The stakes were too high.

Undoubtedly, the solution Wang Chen proposed precisely hit Xiong Liangpeng's vulnerable point.

If he were entirely powerless, he'd be indifferent about it.

But he happens to really have a channel for it!

This cunning Nascent Soul True Immortal hesitated for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Taoist Friend Wang, I can find a way to obtain a Lower Realms quota from the Immortal Alliance, but are you really confident in acquiring the World Source?"

Despite holding back repeatedly, he still couldn't resist asking this question.

It's too important after all.

Wang Chen replied calmly: "I can only say I'll try my best."

Just as Xiong Liangpeng thought, Wang Chen couldn't give him a hundred percent assurance.

After all, Wang Chen himself would also be taking immense risks.

"Then let's do it!"

Xiong Liangpeng made the final decision: "I'll be responsible for securing the Lower Realms quota!"

Wang Chen smiled: "Agreed."

Once the decision was made, Xiong Liangpeng's actions were exceedingly swift and resolute.

By the next morning, this Nascent Soul True Immortal took Wang Chen back to Jiuzhou Immortal City, and began establishing connections the same day.

The Nine States Immortal Alliance controls numerous developed and unexplored small worlds, but the Lower Realms quotas are tightly controlled and rarely released.

It's extremely difficult for even a Golden Core True Person within the Immortal Alliance system to get a quota, let alone a Loose Cultivator.

But Xiong Liangpeng is different from regular Loose Cultivators; he is, after all, a seasoned Nascent Soul with considerable connections in the Immortal Alliance.

Five days later, Xiong Liangpeng, looking weary, found Wang Chen: "Mission accomplished."

He obtained a Lower Realms quota!

As for exactly what price the old Nascent Soul paid for it, Wang Chen could discern from several newly added wrinkles on Xiong Liangpeng's forehead, and didn't rub salt into his wounds.

Xiong Liangpeng also brought back information about this Lower Realm.

This small world is called the Bloodmoon Realm.

The discovery of the Bloodmoon Realm is recent, within the last hundred years, and the exploration of this small world has been incredibly challenging, with less than a tenth of those who ventured returning alive; the danger level is not ordinary.

But there are those who successfully brought back the World Source from the Bloodmoon Realm!

Currently, Xiong Liangpeng can only obtain a Lower Realms quota for the Bloodmoon Realm.

Other worlds are available, but he can't afford the cost.

After hearing Xiong Liangpeng's briefing, Wang Chen immediately decided: "This is it."

You know how the saying goes?

The greater the waves, the more expensive the fish!

For the small worlds that have already been exploited, digging out new World Sources is nearly impossible.

Unless hundreds of years are spent on perseverance.

Wang Chen doesn't have that kind of time, so he simply won't consider it.

And as the Bloodmoon Realm is still in its initial exploration stage, that lucky person happened to find a pie that fell from the sky and managed to bring back the World Source — indicating that opportunities and dangers coexist within.

This kind of world is exactly what Wang Chen needs!

Having made his decision, Wang Chen and Xiong Liangpeng began negotiations on subsequent cooperation matters.

The next day, both of them went to the main base of the Nine States Immortal Alliance, where Wang Chen submitted a request to travel to the Bloodmoon Realm.

With Xiong Liangpeng having paved the way beforehand, his request was quickly approved.

Three days later, Wang Chen descended into the Bloodmoon Realm!
