“What? This is the legendary Zhenjie Pearl?” Qin Chen exclaimed.

He had heard from the Big Black Cat that the Zhenjie Pearl was a precious treasure naturally born from the Tianwu Continent, the heart of the world that emerged alongside the formation of the continent, serving as the core of the entire land.

In the Tianwu Continent, the Zhenjie Pearl was equivalent to the Chaos Magic Nest of the Demon Continent. It was this item that once shined brilliantly in the Tianmo Secret Realm, suppressing the alien races and sealing the Tianmo Secret Realm.

Moreover, the Zhenjie Pearl could easily expel the parasitic seed from his body. Qin Chen had been searching for the Zhenjie Pearl, hoping to use it to resolve the crisis posed by the parasitic seed.

However, the Zhenjie Pearl had always been a mystery in the Tianmo Secret Realm. Even the Big Black Cat had difficulty locating it, so he never expected to find it here.

In the past, Qin Chen was extremely eager about the Zhenjie Pearl, but now that he had resolved the parasitic seed issue, he held no particular expectations, though he was still curious about why the Zhenjie Pearl would appear here.

“Big Black Cat, do you know the Zhenjie Pearl is here?” Qin Chen asked, puzzled.

Otherwise, why would the Big Black Cat stealthily bring him here? Back in the Tianmo Secret Realm, the Big Black Cat had been very covetous of the Zhenjie Pearl.

“Damn it, what do I know?” The Big Black Cat was exasperated. “Zhenjie Pearl, why is it the Zhenjie Pearl? Who took the Zhenjie Pearl from the Tianmo Secret Realm and brought it here?” The Big Black Cat was furious and looked gloomy, as if he had seen a ghost.

Qin Chen frowned. Wasn’t the Zhenjie Pearl a good thing? Why did the Big Black Cat look like someone had stolen his treasure?

“Big Black Cat, perhaps you remembered it wrong, or you’ve realized that no one can come and go freely here. Either this pearl is not the Zhenjie Pearl, or the one that suppressed the alien races back in the Tianmo Secret Realm was not the Zhenjie Pearl,” Qin Chen said. Since the Zhenjie Pearl was the heart of the world of the Tianwu Continent, it couldn’t possibly appear in two places.

“What do you know? This is the Zhenjie Pearl,” the Big Black Cat said through gritted teeth. “I can acknowledge many mistakes, but there’s no way I could mistake the Zhenjie Pearl. Someone must have stolen the Zhenjie Pearl from the Tianmo Continent and replaced it with something else to suppress the Yuanshi Demon Clan experts here.” The Big Black Cat was very certain.

This made Qin Chen curious. Had the Big Black Cat been here before? Otherwise, how could he be so sure that a treasure was swapped?

“Does this emperor not know? As far as I know, the one that suppressed the Yuanshi Demon Clan experts back then was a source of spatial essence from the Heavenly Realm. That’s the spatial essence of the Heavenly Realm! If I could get just a trace of it, the restrictions on my body would surely break by more than half, but now…” The Big Black Cat was infuriated.

“After all this effort, it was for nothing.” The Big Black Cat sighed, looking dejected.

“Well, it’s not entirely for nothing; at least we found the Zhenjie Pearl.”

“Found it, and what of it? Can you take the Zhenjie Pearl with you?” The Big Black Cat smiled bitterly. “That despicable person took the spatial essence from the Heavenly Realm and replaced it with the Zhenjie Pearl because it must have a treasure to suppress it here. Otherwise, the Yuanshi Demon Clan experts below would surely break free. If you took the Zhenjie Pearl, could you bear the responsibility?”

“This…” Qin Chen looked dejected. The Big Black Cat indeed had a point.

No wonder there was such a strong spatial aura here; the Zhenjie Pearl, being the heart of the Tianwu Continent, naturally had incredibly powerful spatial force. It was only with treasures like this that one could suppress the experts of the Yuanshi Demon Clan.
