“This... it's a long story, involving a huge secret in the universe.” The Primordial Ancestral Dragon sighed, “In ancient times, there was chaos here that swept across many primal beings. It could be seen as an accident or a fate; in short, it’s complicated. This secret is better for you not to know, or rather, you might not be able to bear such karma right now.”
“Cut it out! I think you’re just sealed away because you were beaten,” Little Ant said from the side.
This time, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon did not go wild. He simply looked at Little Ant with a serious expression and said faintly, “Say what you will, but this is related to a secret of the universe. Even I only have a partial understanding of it. After all, I was not involved in the deepest parts back then, so I cannot say too much. If I say it correctly, that’s fine, but if I say it wrong, it might lead this human brat to develop some unspeakable misunderstanding about the universe, which would end up harming him, unless he intends to remain a minor venerable for his whole life and doesn’t want to reach the end of life evolution.”
Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart. What the Primordial Ancestral Dragon said was indeed mysterious, but Qin Chen could sense that although he intentionally concealed some things, he had not lied to himself.
A secret concerning the universe? What could that be? It would actually affect his future path. This was rather exaggerated.
“Is it really that exaggerated?” Little Ant and Little Fire also seemed to be intimidated by the serious demeanor of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon.
“What do you think?” the Primordial Ancestral Dragon said lightly. “Not to mention, your ancestor, the Primordial Insect, once fought here, shedding blood in the void. Otherwise, how could there be so many Devouring Void Insects here? They are formed from a trace of the aura left behind by your ancestor. Although it has become extremely thin after countless years, it still gave rise to new life.”
This made Qin Chen gasp in shock.
These Devouring Void Insects, which even Peak Earth Venerables would avoid, were actually a remnant of the battle left behind by the Primordial Insect. It was indeed surprising.
In the endless void, various mysterious powers surged.
“Senior Primordial Ancestral Dragon, where exactly is the Chaos Jade Disc?” Qin Chen asked.
“I’m not sure at the moment, but this item is definitely somewhere in this world,” the Primordial Ancestral Dragon said. “You should sense where the flame aura is the strongest. Let's head to that Fire Realm first!”
“Fire Realm?”
“Yes, there should be a hidden domain in this world that contains endless flames, but I don’t know exactly where it is right now. This world is not static; you will need to explore it yourself.”
Qin Chen nodded, then sat cross-legged in the void. He was unsure what was in this place, so he could only listen to the Primordial Ancestral Dragon for now. If the other party had any ill intentions, he could completely counteract them before they acted by using the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate and the Myriad Realms Demon Tree.
Qin Chen closed his eyes, and the Void Karmic Flame surged forth, releasing an invisible aura that permeated the surroundings, sensing the changes in this world.
Suddenly, everything around him became ethereal, the heavens and earth transformed into nothingness, and then, in this empty space, various dazzling colors surged forth, displaying different auras.
Qin Chen immediately understood that each aura here represented a powerful secret realm. For instance, the Chaos Dragon Nest that was closest to him presented wood attribute power.
“Eh!”
As Qin Chen urged the Void Karmic Flame, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon looked at the Void Flame floating above Qin Chen’s head in surprise.
“This kid... really possesses quite a few treasures; even the Void Karmic Flame has been condensed. This is an essential item for any path he might take.”
