When Qin Chen and Mo Li stepped out from the area engulfed by the black chaos aura, all the onlookers were instantly stunned.
Countless venerables of all races stared wide-eyed at the two; it was the first time anyone had emerged alive after being submerged in this chaos aura.
"Li'er!"
Seeing Mo Li emerge, Chi Yan Demon Lord quickly gathered around, but when he looked at Qin Chen, his gaze flickered, and he hesitated, even pinching the corner of his clothes with his fingers.
"What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you!"
Qin Chen glanced at Chi Yan Demon Lord with a speechless expression. Was this the same Demon Lord who had been so unruly in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm?
Why was he acting like a timid little wife?
However, Chi Yan Demon Lord did have a good physique.
Qin Chen remembered that back in the Ancient Yu Realm, the HongYan Martial Emperor had even targeted him and had some entanglements with him. Cough, he couldn’t think too deeply about it; he was afraid he’d throw up.
Qin Chen raised his head and saw that more powerful figures had gathered in this area.
It seemed that most of the strong contenders who had entered the Myriad Divine Treasury had already congregated here.
"Hmm, Golden Crow Prince?"
Qin Chen even spotted the Golden Crow Prince at the outskirts of the Dark Star. However, the royal lineage of the Golden Crow Prince from the Monster Race clearly held an extraordinary position, as he was allowed to enter the periphery of the Dark Star, while the vast majority of martial artists were still blocked outside, only able to experience the black chaos aura emanating from the Dark Star.
"More and more people?"
Mo Li frowned. According to Lohou Demon Ancestor, this should be an extremely secretive place, yet even the Sun God Turtle had entered the Dark Star. Why were more people still coming in?
This was too illogical.
"Li'er, I’ve already asked how these guys made it here."
Chi Yan Demon Lord spoke up.
Qin Chen looked over.
Chi Yan Demon Lord glanced at Mo Li, and seeing him nod, continued, "These people came through a map."
"A map?"
Qin Chen and Mo Li furrowed their brows.
"This thing, I bought it from a Monster Race individual."
Chi Yan Demon Lord took out a black jade tablet, and the two scanned it with their consciousness, indeed spotting a rough map of the Chaotic Star River, marking the location of the core area.
"This is... Chaos Jade? It’s a unique item from the Ruins World."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon suddenly exclaimed in shock.
"Chaos Jade?"
Qin Chen was puzzled.
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon explained, his tone serious: "Chaos Jade is a type of waste material produced outside the Chaos Jade Disc. Although it is waste, it is quite special. It can establish a certain connection with the Chaos Jade Disc, or rather, through it, one can always sense the attraction of the Chaos Jade Disc."
"I understand how these people got here now. The core area of the Chaotic Star River is hidden because this place is constantly changing, but as long as one has Chaos Jade, no matter how it changes, they can sense the location of the core area through the Chaos Jade and enter."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon's expression was grave: "In other words, the Chaos Jade Disc must definitely be in this core area; otherwise, this Chaos Jade would lose its mapping function."
The appearance of Chaos Jade at least confirmed that the Chaos Jade Disc was indeed here, but it also raised another question.
Why was there a map made of Chaos Jade in this secret realm?
Who created this map?
And where did they obtain it?
"Where did these people get this Chaos Jade?"
Without Qin Chen needing to ask, Mo Li had already directed the question to Chi Yan Demon Lord.
"I’ve found out that the origins of this jade tablet are quite varied; these individuals obtained it from various treasure locations in this secret realm. Additionally, some acquired it while fishing in the Chaotic Star River."
Chi Yan Demon Lord explained.
"Are there many of these jade tablet maps?"
