Chapter 1740: Two Geniuses Leaving the Primal Chaos
Xiang Shaoyun stopped attacking. He had found a way to counter the divine primal chaos lotus. He no longer feared that the lotus would try some tricks. The divine primal chaos lotus shrank into a tiny lotus sparkling with five colors. It looked delicate and beautiful, completely unlike a divine being that had reached the Nine Revolutions Realm.
"Brother Dugu, I'm taking the divine primal chaos lotus with me. Are you still staying here?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.
In truth, he did not wish to see Dugu Qiubai stay in the primal chaos world. He would rather see Dugu Qiubai help humanity fight the aliens, suppress the devils, and spread the might of humanity.
Dugu Qiubai sighed and said, "I had planned to stay here and enter the Reincarnation Realm before traversing the boundless universe like the ancient humans and witnessing how wide the universe actually is. However, so what? I will never surpass you, Young Master Xiang. I will probably suffer from a shadow in my heart if I stay here now. I shouldn't stay and disturb the peace of this world. I'm an outsider here anyway. I'll just create my own world in the future."
Dugu Qiubai had thought it through and was no longer strongly attached to the thought of staying in the primal chaos world.
Sure, he might be able to reach the peak inside the primal chaos world. But what would be the point of living that way? He had a feeling that even after entering the Reincarnation Realm, he still wouldn't be Xiang Shaoyun's match. Xiang Shaoyun was the one truly blessed by fate to become the sovereign of all existences.
"Excellent. Humanity needs the protection of a top genius like you, Brother Dugu. It would be such a waste for you to stay here," said Xiang Shaoyun. "I will fulfill my promise and give you the lotus base. I hope it can help you enter the Nine Revolutions Realm. Together, we will face the aliens."
Dugu Qiubai sank into thought before saying, "You should keep the lotus base. You need it more."
Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. "No. It doesn't suit me anyway."
He already had the divine discerning tree in his body. It was constantly growing and feeding him energy. In any case, he had grown too rapidly in a short time frame. He did not want the frantic growth to continue.
After absorbing the divine primal chaos lotus's primal chaos profundity, he had reached eighth-stage God Realm. With his combat prowess, he could crush everyone below the Nine Revolutions Realm. He had to suppress his cultivation for a period of time before breaking through.
After discussing with the divine primal chaos lotus, he had the lotus release its base, which was where it stored its essence. Naturally, the lotus was unwilling. However, it did not dare to disobey Xiang Shaoyun and could only compromise by releasing a smaller lotus base. The base contained one fifth of its strength, and it loathed parting with it.
"This little bit of strength is nothing. Given enough time, you can reclaim your strength through cultivation," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"I have taken a million years to accumulate my power. Even one fifth of that requires two hundred thousand years to recover," said the lotus helplessly.
Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and said, "I will find you a body that will make it much easier for you to cultivate."
"Don't forget your promise!" The lotus became excited.
"Of course. I never lie," said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.
He dug a deep hole in his astral cosmos sea and moved a large portion of the divine primal chaos spring water from the primal chaos lake into the hole. The lotus also relaxed its defense and allowed Xiang Shaoyun to draw it into his astral cosmos sea.
He was also able to dig out a large amount of primal divine stones at the bottom of the lake. He drew a portion of the stones into his astral cosmos sea while using some on his Primal Inception Saber. The Primal Inception Saber was upgraded into a top-tier god weapon. Even if it wasn't as powerful as a nine revolutions weapon, it was now strong enough to withstand a clash against nine revolutions weapons.
Additionally, he also used some of the stones on the lotus base in his astral cosmos sea, turning the lotus base into a divine weapon as well. Dugu Qiubai naturally did not leave empty-handed either. He was rather satisfied with his gains from the primal chaos world.
The two took another walk around the entire primal chaos world. During the walk, Dugu Qiubai managed to subdue a celestial primal chaos dragon. The dragon became his mount, further showcasing the might of his Primal Chaos Physique.
As for Money, he had managed to enter third-stage God Realm in the primal chaos world. As there were no lightning tribulations in the primal chaos world, breaking through was easy for Money, allowing him to grow rapidly in cultivation.
Even Gui Qi benefited from Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough, becoming a fifth-stage Devil God. He was now strong enough to stand on his own. In truth, Xiang Shaoyun wanted to get a mount for himself as well, but he ultimately refrained from doing so.
Just the appearance of one of these primal chaos beasts would shock the world. He would rather let Dugu Qiubai hog the limelight while he remained low-profile. After all, he could always get Little White and Little Azure back to his side at any time. Those two had a much higher affinity with him. There was no need for him to look for more mounts. Furthermore, Money was already a Demon God. If he could find the inheritance of the celestial horned dragonsnake race, he would grow even stronger.
Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai explored the primal chaos world in its entirety. After three years, they finally left. They tore through the 33 layers of the primal chaos world's wall and returned to outer space.
At that point, Xiang Shaoyun was already a mid eighth-stage God. His cultivation was almost at the peak of humanity, and his entire body enjoyed a high affinity with the world around him. He constantly absorbed all sorts of energies with his body, ensuring that he was constantly growing. Even without any divine treasures, he would only take a few more years to reach the peak of the eighth stage and enter the ninth stage.
As for Dugu Qiubai, he was now a peak ninth-stage God, only a step away from the Nine Revolutions Realm. His comprehension of the primal chaos profundity had also reached a certain limit. With the combat prowess of his Primal Chaos Physique, he could pit himself against even a fresh Nine Revolutions Realm expert.
While leaving the primal chaos world, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly asked, "Brother Dugu, do you notice anything from the primal chaos wall?"
Dugu Qiubai thought about it and said, "It's a primal chaos wall formed through the profundity of primal chaos. It's also the most optimal kind of defense."
"That's right. Don't you think that we can create our own defensive technique that is similar to this wall?" asked Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
Dugu Qiubai raised his brow. He smiled and said, "Young Master Xiang is truly a genius to come up with something like that."
"Hehe, you must have thought of it, too," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"I created the Primal Chaos Bell," stated Dugu Qiubai proudly.
The Primal Chaos Bell was a defensive technique Dugu Qiubai had created. The technique utilized the profundity of primal chaos, and it was incredibly powerful.
"Well then, let the aliens experience the prowess of your Primal Chaos Bell, Brother Dugu," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
