The big black cat immediately turned its head, looking into the depths of the endless starry sky.
"Senior?" Qin Chen looked over with some confusion.
"Hehe, it's nothing." The Ancient Emperor chuckled, "Previously, you eliminated the Lord of the Corpse Nation and Shi Nantian from the Southern Dipper Buddha Nation, which attracted a few ants."
"Ants?"
"Could it be those from the Heaven Clan and the Great Sun Buddha Realm?" Sisi and the others were shocked.
Previously, the Lord of the Corpse Nation and Shi Nantian had threatened Qin Chen, and Sisi and the others naturally understood their identities and origins. The Heaven Clan and the Great Sun Buddha Realm, just hearing the names, one could tell were two terrifying forces in the cosmic sea.
"These two forces actually dare to send people here?" Qin Chen's pupils constricted, a hint of cold light radiating from them.
From the memories of the Lord of the Corpse Nation and Shi Nantian, Qin Chen knew that these two forces were not to be trifled with. The Heaven Clan had always acted tyrannically in the cosmic sea, and as for the Great Sun Buddha Realm, while on the surface Shi Nantian had been expelled by them, behind the scenes he had been supplying vengeful spirits to his Master in the Great Sun Buddha Realm, making them even more sinister than those petty figures on the surface.
Boom!
A chilling killing intent exploded from Qin Chen's body, emanating a terrifying coldness.
"Qin Chen, my young friend, calm down." The Ancient Emperor hurriedly stopped him. To be honest, he was genuinely afraid that Qin Chen, in a fit of anger, would rush out recklessly.
"Senior?" Qin Chen looked at him in confusion.
"Leave this matter to me. If you act rashly and attract some trouble, leading to the exposure of the Primal Universe, it will be troublesome," the Ancient Emperor spoke lightly.
The more he experienced, the deeper his understanding of the cosmic sea became. Although he had already entered a higher dimensional level, it did not mean he was invincible in the cosmic sea. Once the Primal Universe was exposed, it would surely attract the attention of those high-dimensional existences. By that time, he might not be in danger, but if he ruined that person's plans, he would be doomed.
"Qin Chen, my young friend, this is something I want to remind you of. With your current cultivation, you are already a prominent figure in the cosmic sea. But remember, you must conceal your abilities. No matter how many methods you expose, you must never leak the secrets of the Primal Universe," the Ancient Emperor advised.
"Ancient Emperor, I understand," Qin Chen nodded.
The more he understood, the clearer it became how deep the waters of the cosmic sea were. Even the Underworld Deity, with his strength back in the day, could not escape the Underworld and was still suppressed by many ancient forces in the cosmic sea.
The Ancient Emperor was not omnipotent either.
"Then I can rest assured. What you need to do now is to survive. With your talents, once you enter the divine emperor realm in the future, you won't have to fear much," the Ancient Emperor smiled.
"Moreover, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you don't expose the Primal Universe, with me here, even if you poke a hole in the cosmic sea, I and this big black cat will help you clean up afterward."
"It?"
Qin Chen looked at the big black cat in surprise.
At this look, his pupils involuntarily shrank, for with his current strength, he could not see through the cultivation of the big black cat.
He knew that he had already entered the mid-stage great emperor realm and possessed a perfect dao divine body. The first time he met the big black cat in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, he had not been able to see through its cultivation. He never expected that even with his current strength, he still couldn't see through it.
"Big black cat, your cultivation..." Qin Chen frowned.
"Hehe, this guy is not simple. In the future, when you traverse the cosmic sea, you can bring it along. That way, it counts as an extra layer of protection," the Ancient Emperor chuckled.
