Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 760 - Primeval World and a Supreme Magical Ability

What appeared in front of them was not a Fiendgod palace, a netherworld crypt, a tomb, or a chamber. What appeared before them was instead a scenic, magnificent, and all-natural landscape of mountains and rivers.

It was beautiful beyond comparison.

The beauty of the continuous stretch of lofty and majestic mountains complemented the radiance of the clear and bright sky in the distance. A vast stretch of forest, pretty in green, was home to towering old shady trees that reached into the clouds. Waterfalls hung down from the clouds into rivers so clear that their bottoms could be seen. The entire place was full of vigor and picturesque, natural charm, causing one to wonder if they had accidentally entered a heavenly paradise.

Ye Qingyu's heart had been strained while he was passing through the shadowy ancient fiendgod city, the strange sea of tombstones, and the road of broken stones. At this time, however, he seemed to feel completely relaxed, in part due to the rich fragrance of the place which made him feel good physically and mentally.

His consciousness power reached out like a tide.

Everything around was all so real.

He could confirm that this was not a dreamland.

It was all a bona fide little world.

Furthermore, when he inhaled another deep breath, an expression of even greater shock showed on his face.

Such a strong world yuan qi is indeed a rare sight. How could... this place... Something seems a bit off... He felt that some parts of the place were odd but could not tell exactly what.

The only thing he could confirm was that the world yuan qi in this place was strong and pure to an incredible extent. Even that of the Lightning Emperor's secret chamber in the Underground Moon Immortal Palace of the Clear River Domain could not compare, despite having formations to gather qi.

Inhaling a mouthful of air, Ye Qingyu could feel the extremely pure world yuan qi stream like a spring into his mouth and swiftly seep into his limbs and bones in a remarkably comfortable manner.

As if skeptical, he inhaled several more breaths.

His expression gradually became that of a pleasant surprise.

In the martial world, cultivation places were also classified as high-, middle- and low-grade. Low-grade places referred to mountain forests with ancient evergreen trees and lingering spirit birds. They played a definite subsidiary effect on an expert's cultivation.

Middle-grade places referred to secluded spots which could receive the moistening of the world and breed deities. They halved the effort required and doubled the result of an expert's cultivation.

High-grade places referred to several extremely rare spots where at least one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had visited. They could not only rapidly raise an expert's cultivation but also endow any natural thing on earth to the heavenly library. The Underground Moon Immortal Palace could be considered a high-grade place for experts to cultivate.

However, the plane they were currently in already contained world yuan qi and power of laws, which were zsurging like the overturning of an ocean which had reached a very intense and near-adhesive extent. With a simple inhalation, one could feel the boundless power contained within instantly moistening all of the meridians and vessels in one's body.

It could be said that this strange plane had long surpassed the classification limits of a high-grade cultivation place. Instead, it should be considered a hard-to-find, top-grade place. A day of cultivation in this place would yield even more results than a hundred years of cultivation in a foreign domain.

Could this place be the one sought after by those pinnacle experts who have barged into the Door of Darkness one after another over the past million years?

Ye Qingyu speculated inwardly.

But he quickly disproved this idea.

This was because before those divine talents barged into the Door of Darkness, their strength had already reached a near-invincible extent, and to them, even a dip in the world spiritual spring purely depended on outside forces. Even by tapping on the power of the world, it would be very hard for them to progress to the next step. Although this plane possessed a supremely top-grade cultivation place, they were unlikely to be enticed enough to take a risk and come here.

After quelling the messy thoughts in his mind, Ye Qingyu peered as if lost in thought at the boundless natural space in front of him and nearly could not restrain himself from immediately sitting cross-legged and beginning to cultivate.

After inhaling several more breaths.

Indeed, Grandma's guess is right. This is the Immortal yuan space from the ancient Fiendgod Age. The yuan qi and laws are from the most primeval beings of the ancient Fiendgod Age. Someone has cut out a part of the world and reversed its time-space. Where has this part of the world been brought to? This method is... too frightening.

To one side, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden was finally unable to conceal her shock.

She muttered to herself without paying the slightest attention to the person beside her. Beneath her mask, those bright, clear, and pretty eyes were visibly shocked, carrying not only a tinge of excitement, but also tremendous eagerness.

This was the first time Ye Qingyu saw such a rich expression in her eyes.

However, he was more alarmed by what she was saying.

This place was... the plane of the Fiendgod Age?!

"A part of the Fiendgod Age had its time-space reversed and was brought here... Are there really people in this universe who can do such a thing?" Ye Qingyu felt that this explanation was completely beyond his understanding of power and cultivation.

How could there be such a magical ability?

Cutting out a part of the world as if cutting a cake, and preserving it... This... surely even a Fiendgod couldn't do such a thing, right?

Were the giant black tombstone and the boundless sea of blossoming hurricane lilies all being used to suppress and preserve the layout of this part of the world?

This... is probably impossible.

However, he vaguely felt that this was right. Because, only this kind of handwriting could appeal to martial emperor-level beings. From those words, Ye Qingyu could at least deduce that the Formation Emperor Luoso had been here before.

Rather than taking a blind shot, [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] must have possessed some evidence to be so adamant about coming to the 18th district to find traces of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But Ye Qingyu was mystified once again.

Leaving aside everything from the past, why did the military medal of the Snow Empire react here of all places, and lead me inside and into this place?

Ye Qingyu could not understand.

However, he could confirm that the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, the successors of the other super powerful sects, and the risk-taking Heaven's pridelings must certainly know about the existence of such a plane - or at least have predicted as much.

But why did the Celestial Phoenix Maiden choose me as bodyguard?

What is her real motive?

Did she know I possessed a military medal which could lead the way?

How did the other Heaven's pridelings find their way? The Celestial Phoenix Maiden had said that the pool of black blood earlier belonged to the Black Demon Race expert. Has that Little Princess already entered this place?

Peering not too far away at the fairy-like figure in fluttering purple battle garments, the doubts in Ye Qingyu's heart grew.

However, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden seemed as though she did not intend to say anything more.

She flipped her tender hand.

A fist-sized golden Phoenix appeared out of nowhere.

The Phoenix's wings were spread out, revealing extremely fine carved lines and appearing lifelike. It seemed to be a small pot which was exquisite like no other.

What especially shocked Ye Qingyu was that after the golden flame-like crown on its head flickered several times, a strange power emanated from this Phoenix sculpture's mouth.

It was a suction force.

A terrifying suction force.

As if it was swallowing and spitting out the world, the yuan qi and power of laws that had congealed into a transparent gelatinous substance seemed to be rapidly gathered into a fast-spinning cyclone which subsumed into the golden Phoenix without warning.

However, the surrounding world yuan qi and power of laws were simply way too abundant and inexhaustible. No matter how much more the golden Phoenix could take, they would not be weakened in the slightest.

She's extracting the primeval power of this world!

Ye Qingyu abruptly realized something.

If this part of the world was really cut out from the Fiendgod Age, its valuable aspect was not just its steady flow of world yuan qi but also its primeval state.

This kind of primeval state was simply too valuable.

Since the birth of the Vast Thousand Domains, the Fiendgod Age had undoubtedly been a glorious period, and the most fertile and primeval period of this world. Countless Fiendgods were born and countless powerful beings resettled here during this period, while many species had eternal life and boundless longevity. The reason for all of these was because this age was the most complete and pure age.

A huge war in the period that followed caused the ancestors and fiendgods to perish. Although martial emperors could still come into power, the world had been contaminated and damaged and was thus no longer pure.

Hence, the world could never produce those kind of powerful beings with eternal lives ever again.

Legend had it that, in order to achieve personal glory, some experts, unhesitant about distorting the laws of time and space, reversed time to travel back to the Fiendgod Age in search of qi activity and a form of primeval state. They vainly hoped to gain insight into the truths of the universe and thereby attain supreme power.

Unfortunately, they would never return.

Nobody had ever succeeded.

Right now, a part of the primeval world was right in front of Ye Qingyu's eyes. Although it was not a complete world, it possessed primeval qi activity, and by absorbing its spiritual qi and understanding the law changes in this place, one could fathom the real primeval world of the old days and obtain a sliver of opportunity which nobody else could ever see.

This kind of opportunity was not something which even the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, who had remained indifferent and cold all along, could turn a blind eye to. By using the treasure in her hands and beginning to absorb, and then slowly refining it in the days to come, the benefits would certainly be substantial, to say the least.

Ye Qingyu peered at the golden Phoenix which was frenziedly absorbing the world yuan qi until his eyes became spellbound.

This made him even more certain that the maiden had come prepared.

There were only three days to spend within the Door of Life, and the journey here had already taken up a day. While cultivating here was undoubtedly important, it was likely that they would miss the deadline to return to the Door of Life if they sat here meditating and became unaware of time.

Moreover, there were many situations which they were completely not in control of, such as the dangers which were faced by those Immortal Step realm pinnacle experts who were turned into dismembered corpses, or the fact that they did not know where the other people who teleported in had gone.

Therefore, the safest and most effective method was to take away as much of the spiritual essence and power of laws here and slowly convert them to personal uses later on.

Having thought through all these, Ye Qingyu involuntarily revealed a hint of regret on his face.

Because he could not absorb the power of the primeval world here.
