Chapter 1735: Seeing Dugu Qiubai Again
Beyond the 33rd layer of the primal chaos wall was a lively world. It was an ancient realm with mountain ranges, trees, and animals. It was basically a planet with life. Additionally, everything in that world was extremely ancient, such as the ancient stones, towering trees, and massive animals. It all showcased how unique the primal chaos world was.
After 10 years, Xiang Shaoyun had finally gotten through the 33rd layer of the wall and entered this world. He was immediately shocked by what he saw. A vicious beast he had never seen before jumped him, stabbing at him with its sharp beak. Its ruthless eyes looked at Xiang Shaoyun as if he were a bug. As far as the beast was concerned, Xiang Shaoyun was nothing.
In truth, Xiang Shaoyun was pitifully small compared to the beast. However, he naturally wouldn't be pecked to death so easily. As the beast descended upon him, he grabbed at its beak, sending a dragon claw raking forth to catch it. He then slammed the beast into the ground.
Boom!
The ground cracked, and a massive cloud of dust was created. A tongue of flame sprouted out of Xiang Shaoyun's palm, instantly turning the beast into roasted meat. He attacked so fast it could render anyone speechless.
"Let me try and see if the meat here tastes good," muttered Xiang Shaoyun. He sat down cross-legged and started trying the beast meat he had just roasted.
After several mouthfuls, he started to wolf down the food. It seemed like the meat was incredible. When he had his fill, he found that he was surrounded by some weak life forms. All of them were staring at him longingly. Evidently, they were begging for food.
"Come and eat," said Xiang Shaoyun as he beckoned to them.
Then, he left the adorable animals behind and walked away. He could sense that this world contained a lot of saint-grade and god-grade herbs. This place was most definitely a treasure vault.
As he wandered the world, he encountered many powerful life forms, including some God Realm life forms. These life forms seemed rather intelligent as well. There were a few times where Xiang Shaoyun nearly fell for their tricks.
If it were any other ordinary God here, the God would have already perished. As Xiang Shaoyun wandered the world, he had reaped a bountiful harvest. Numerous saint-grade and god-grade herbs could be easily found, to the point he was already numb as compared to his initial joy when finding these herbs.
Additionally, he had also found a land containing a god-grade vein. The pure god crystals filled over 100 mountains with energy. Countless ancient trees dotted the land, and numerous powerful life forms lived there. Not even Xiang Shaoyun had the courage to go in and harvest the vein.
"This is a paradise," lamented Xiang Shaoyun.
He could feel that the life forms here were original life forms. In other words, they were all first-generation creations of the primal chaos world. They were at the strongest state of their species, and countless civilizations flourished. This was a world that belonged only to them.
One day, Xiang Shaoyun discovered a small god-grade vein. Over 10 powerful God Realm life forms resided there. After he drove them away, he occupied the area. Just as he was digging for the vein, he discovered some ancient characters left on the mountain by some ancient humans.
"The True Sovereign was here."
"Yuan Shi entered this place by accident and found the trail of the True Sovereign."
"Baili Xiongshi was here."
The three sentences stunned Xiang Shaoyun.
He had not imagined that some other humans had been in here as well. Moreover, there were three of them. True Sovereign was a name Xiang Shaoyun couldn't know better. He was the primogenitor of human cultivation, a figure senior to even Venerable Yuan Shi. However, he had long vanished, leaving no trace behind. People of the dominion believed that he still existed somewhere in the boundless universe.
As for Venerable Yuan Shi, he was also a legend. He had founded the Guardians Guild, stopped the alien invasion, and suppressed the devils, becoming the dominion's great guardian god. As for Baili Xiongshi, this was not a name recorded in history. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun had no idea who he was.
"Looks like this primal chaos world has existed for many, many years. Even those ancient individuals were here before. It is no wonder there are so many terrifying life forms here," exclaimed Xiang Shaoyun in admiration.
Just as Xiang Shaoyun considered leaving his name behind as well, he sensed the aura of a human. When he turned around, he saw someone approaching him with peculiar footwork. A human apart from Xiang Shaoyun that could also enter the primal chaos world would be none other than Dugu Qiubai. Clad in a dull martial outfit, Dugu Qiubai walked without any emotions, as though he wasn't surprised to see Xiang Shaoyun.
"You're indeed here," said Dugu Qiubai calmly.
"Yeah, I have been here for a while. But I saw you enter before me," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
"Yes. After entering the primal chaos world, I came in here immediately," said Dugu Qiubai seriously.
Xiang Shaoyun was shocked, but he kept a calm appearance as he said, "You must have reaped the most rewards from this world, then."
That was true. Dugu Qiubai had reached ninth-stage Rebirth Realm. With his Primal Chaos Physique, he was strong enough to defeat anyone below the Nine Revolutions Realm. Xiang Shaoyun had to admire that Dugu Qiubai was truly a fortuitous person.
Xiang Shaoyun did not have the Primal Chaos Physique. Instead, he had the Primal Inception Physique. Although he had benefited considerably from the primal chaos world, he had only reached seventh-stage Rebirth Realm, two stages away from the ninth stage. However, if Dugu Qiubai wanted to challenge him, he still did not think that he would lose.
"I'm here to ask for your help in getting one object," said Dugu Qiubai.
"Is there actually something that you can't get yourself right now?" asked Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment.
"Divine primal chaos lotus," said Dugu Qiubai.
Xiang Shaoyun was stunned. The divine primal chaos lotus was rumored to be the earliest object formed by the power of primal chaos. It was the oldest and most magical object. Anyone who managed to get it would be able to enter the Nine Revolutions Realm immediately. Perhaps even the Reincarnation Realm would be within reach.
Additionally, a place where the divine primal chaos lotus grew would naturally have a previous divine primal chaos spring nearby. After all, only a divine spring like that could nourish the growth of something like the divine primal chaos lotus. Numerous other primal chaos objects would also exist near it, and each would be a priceless treasure.
