"As for your second question, the answer is already obvious. Of course I have. In fact, I’ve made contact with several of them. The Glazed Sacred Heart Pill you received earlier came from an alien lifeform on a place called the Glazed Planet."

Extraordinary Starry Sky... Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered as he listened to Gu Tiandu’s explanation.

’It seems the Celestial Universe Star Domain where Zhao Yin came from isn’t in the same part of the sky as Earth, but in another star domain entirely.’

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Gu, don’t other alien civilizations have corresponding Cultivation Techniques?"

If they did, Gu Tiandu and the others would have surely done everything in their power to obtain them and bring them back to Earth.

Earth wouldn’t be in a situation where the *Celestial Human Temple* he created is still the only technique for completely cultivating the Yin Spirit and Inner World.

Gu Tiandu shook his head. "No. At least, not among the twenty-some alien civilizations we’ve encountered so far. Some are still in a primitive stage. Others have developed extremely advanced technology, capable of even unleashing a Dimensional Strike. And some are masters of alchemy. But unfortunately, without exception, none of them have any information regarding cultivation."

"From what I know, this situation is a result of the Meteors. Nearly every starry sky gave birth to Extraordinary Power because of a Meteor. And because the Meteors are different, the extraordinary characteristics they produce are also different."

"The extraordinary characteristic of the starry sky where Earth resides is an abundance of resources, but it lacks any detailed evolution techniques suitable for us humans. All our current evolution techniques rely on various resources. This has led to our evolution being incomplete, causing us to miss many opportunities. Moreover, once we reach Tier Nine, we encounter an insurmountable bottleneck."

"That’s why we were so excited when we saw your Martial Arts Evolution Path. I must say, Wang Xiao, you are a true genius—a genius who has paved a new way for all living beings. It’s just a shame that we High Tier Life forms can no longer turn back and start over. We can only place our hopes in your generation, hoping you can surpass us and break through to a new level of existence!"

Wang Xiao said humbly, "You flatter me, Elder. I was merely building upon the foundations of others and had a stroke of inspiration."

Gu Tiandu smiled slightly. "No need to be modest. Having Talent is a good thing, especially when that Talent can benefit all of humanity. In truth, while people as talented as you are extremely rare, they do exist."

"Take Ji Wuchang, for example. He’s an unparalleled genius, the kind you might not see in a billion miles. If you hadn’t appeared, I most likely would have chosen him as the final candidate for the God Creation Plan."

Wang Xiao couldn’t help asking, "Elder, since our starry sky has no Cultivation Techniques, what about other starry skies? Have you elders ever been to any?"

Gu Tiandu replied, "We’ve been wandering through outer space all these years, mainly to search for Cosmic Relics, hoping to find a way to other starry skies. Unfortunately, all the Cosmic Relics we’ve found so far seem to be within our own starry sky. We haven’t yet discovered a passage to another."

"So that’s how it is..."

Wang Xiao nodded slightly, gaining a new understanding of the Book of Space-Time’s abilities.

「Before.」

’The worlds the Book of Space-Time took me to... maybe they were in other starry skies.’

Gu Tiandu’s expression turned serious. "Alright, let’s get back to business. Next, you need to prepare to refine Earth. But before that, there are a few things I need to remind you of." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"First, Earth is a Living Star, and an extremely special one at that. It is the core of our Extraordinary Starry Sky. The difficulty of refining it will be at least ten times greater than any other Living Star."

"Second, if you want to refine Earth, you must comprehend the Nine Great Origin Rules. Only by comprehending the Nine Great Origin Rules and condensing the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits can the Grotto Heaven you evolve in the future bear the weight of Earth’s consciousness!"

"However, think of the Inner World as a ship and the Yin Spirit as the person on it. The Great Dao Rules are the fish in the sea, and the Origin Rules are like sharks. If you want to catch a shark—nine of them, in fact—your Inner World and Yin Spirit must be more than ten times stronger than anyone else’s!"

"The Inner World and Yin Spirit you’ve condensed using the *Celestial Human Temple* and your Limit Breaking Technique are strong, but not strong enough. You need to create a new Magic Technique to further strengthen your Inner World and Yin Spirit."

"This is the reward I promised you for passing the assessment. Take it. It should help you strengthen your Inner World and Yin Spirit."

As he spoke, he took a grain of sand from his robes and handed it to Wang Xiao.

’This is...’

Wang Xiao’s eyes flashed.

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis Complete]

[World in the Sand, a Curiosity. A small Heaven and Earth is hidden inside. By merging one’s Inner World and Yin Spirit with it, one can become that world and simulate various Great Dao Rules... After refining, it can accumulate energy for the Book of Space-Time and unlock new abilities.]

’It’s a Curiosity!’

Wang Xiao’s eyes widened slightly.

He knew that every Curiosity had its own unique function.

For instance, the [Reincarnation Pool] he had seen before could allow one to be reincarnated, a truly miraculous power.

The value of this Curiosity far surpassed that of a Divine Object, by ten or even a hundred times!

Moreover, refining it could unlock new abilities for the Book of Space-Time.

’But this time, it doesn’t say it will unlock them directly. It says it will ’accumulate energy.’ It seems I’ll need to refine multiple Curiosities into the Book of Space-Time to unlock its new abilities now.’

Wang Xiao’s mind raced.

Just then, Gu Tiandu’s voice reached him. "This Curiosity allows you to simulate various Great Dao Rules within it. When the time comes for you to truly comprehend the Great Dao Rules, it will be ten times easier. What’s more, every time you use it, your Inner World and Yin Spirit will also be tempered. It’s perfect for you."
