Xiao Chen looked at the treasure mountain in front of him and kept thinking about how to pull it from the illusory ancient desolate world back to reality.
Honestly speaking, everything in front of him was beyond his imagination.
From the time of Aragami Aragami to the Martial Epoch that Xiao Chen lived in, there were still afterimages left behind. They could even turn illusions into reality. The profoundness of them was hard to comprehend.
Before this treasure mountain, even if Xiao Chen displayed his Human Race Battle Body, he would still seem very small. Not to mention pulling the treasure mountain out of the illusory world, even lifting it would be extremely difficult.
Buzz!
However, just as Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and entered the illusory desolate world, a voice rang out in his mind.
"Am I home?"
Xiao Chen was immediately startled. However, he reacted in an instant. It's him!
Dragon Jiaotu!
It was the soul of a divine beast's cub that he had brought out from the mysterious Sea of Bitterness when he was crossing the Divine Soul Tribulation in the Legendary Realm.
All along, the soul of this Dragon Jiaotu had been resting in his Soul Sea. He did not expect it to wake up at this moment.
"This is not your home. It is just an afterimage of the ancient desolate world."
Xiao Chen said after he reacted to the situation.
"But the aura here feels very familiar. This is my home."
A low voice rang out again, sounding somewhat sad. Clearly, Jiaotu understood that everything he felt was fake.
Wait!
However, in the next moment, Xiao Chen suddenly reacted. He immediately shouted, "You said that this is your home?"
"Yes, this is my home." The low voice rang out again.
Xiao Chen was stunned. Clearly, Jiaotu did not understand the meaning of his words. The home he mentioned was the area where Jiaotu lived, not the entire desolate world.
However, Jiaotu's next words startled Xiao Chen.
"Yes, this is my home. I remember coming to this place before."
What!
At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind was in a mess, and it could even be said that he was slightly shocked. He became slightly paranoid, and he once again sorted through some things that had happened in the past with lightning speed.
He entered the Sea of Bitterness in the Nine Heavens. Because of the Great Art of Spiritual Cultivation, he was contaminated with a strand of divine power, which led Jiaotu, who was hiding in the Sea of Bitterness to appear. Then, he trampled through the Sea of Bitterness and brought Jiaotu out from the Sea of Bitterness.
Then, after cultivating to this point, he had drawn out the remnant shadows of the Wastelands, awakening the Dragon Seed Jiao Painting. Was all of this a coincidence, or was there some sort of mighty force behind it?!
"You really remember it clearly? Do you have any impression of the surroundings of this mountain range?"
Xiao Chen was unwilling to give up and asked again. The Desolate Land was extremely vast, and there were numerous mountain ranges. When looked at from afar, all of them looked exactly the same.
"Although I don't know why I entered the Sea of Bitterness when I was young, and I don't have many memories, I am a descendant of a god, so my memories can't be wrong. I have been to this land before, and this place is not far from my father's Divine Dwelling."
Xiao Chen let out a long sigh and suppressed his surging emotions. Since Jiaotu had said this, then it was obviously true!
"Is your home far from here?" Xiao Chen asked softly after calming down.
"It's not far. My father took me there in the blink of an eye."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen stumbled. Although he didn't know how strong Jiaotu's father was, there was no need to imagine how strong a god would be. What was simple for a god might not necessarily be easy for him.
"Can … Can you take me home to have a look?"
Jiaotu asked nervously. Xiao Chen could feel him trembling.
"Alright!"
Although Xiao Chen did not know what kind of existence it was, it looked like just an afterimage. Yet, it was able to pull him in. However, since he was already here, he had to take a look.
He had met Aragami, and now even this little Jiaotu had appeared. There were some things he needed to figure out.
"Rise!"
In the next instant, Xiao Chen punched the treasure mountain in front of him with both fists, causing a loud explosion. The treasure mountain shook violently, and rocks rolled down.
Suddenly, the Medicine Fairies, Ginseng Babies, and Spirit Medicine Sprites on the treasure mountain acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They all turned into clouds of spiritual mist and hid in their own bodies.
This was like a real scene, causing Xiao Chen to feel a little dazed.
Roar!
Suddenly, an illusory dragon roar was transmitted to Xiao Chen's mind. An illusory dragon image floated in the air. This was a dragon image formed completely of spiritual energy.
A Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein!
Just as Xiao Chen had speculated, there had to be a Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein for so many spiritual items and herbs to be produced. This Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein had already manifested a dragon horn, a dragon claw, and each dragon scale was a hundred zhang wide.
This meant that this Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein's grade was not low. According to the classification of the Martial Era, it was at least a King Rank Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein.
"Seal!"
In the next instant, a nine-colored Divine Power burst out of Xiao Chen's body. He grabbed at the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein repeatedly, each time producing a nine-colored talisman.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! The nine-colored talismans appeared one after another, covering the entire body of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein. These nine-colored talismans were connected mysteriously.
Roar!
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein roared again, smashing through dozens of nine-colored talismans. However, Xiao Chen's attacks were even faster. He produced over a hundred talismans in an instant.
The talismans connected the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein's surroundings, forming a dense net that trapped the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein.
The more the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein struggled, the tighter the net formed by the nine-colored talismans became. It even squeezed into the gaps between the dragon scales, and dense Spiritual Qi surged out.
"Come out!"
In the next instant, Xiao Chen grabbed the net and pulled the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein in front of him.
Buzz!
The Divine Power on his body erupted like a volcano. His hands grabbed the nine-colored net tightly, leaving deep marks on his palms.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Vein continued to struggle, pulling back desperately. It even tried to pull Xiao Chen back into the Primordial Era.
...
Rumble!
In the outside world, there was suddenly the sound of thunder in the chaotic airflow that filled the sky. A silver lightning dragon instantly lit up the void.
The chaotic airflow trembled, and the primordial shadow that appeared in the sky rippled. Dragon roars crossed the ancient space-time and roared between the heavens and the earth.
This sudden turn of events attracted the attention of the nearby human Kings.
Even the Japanese and the Human Race experts, who had been fighting each other, were separated into two sides after the collision.
However, the Dragon Lantern Divine King and the other human Kings surrounded Xiao Chen.
"Rumor has it that the Small World produces World Thunder. Once the primordial shadow descends, there will be a fortuitous opportunity from the illusory God Era to traverse space-time and pull some treasures back to reality. The Saint is obtaining his own fortuitous opportunity!"
"Dragon roars. Could it be that the Saint has brought back a dragon-type Divine Beast cub!?"
The human Kings' eyes lit up. They were very interested in the fortuitous opportunity that Xiao Chen could pull back from the Primordial Era.
"It should be some kind of treasure, spirit medicine, divine weapon, divine mountain, etc. The Gods have long perished. It's impossible for them to pull back a Divine Beast cub. If that's the case, the human world will be in chaos. A Divine Beast cub is still a Divine Beast!"
The King of Evil Slaying Execution lightly shouted at the unrealistic thoughts.
Hearing this, the Kings fell silent. This was the truth. The Gods were the rulers of the world before the human race and the Hundred Races.
They had nothing to do with the grievances between the human race and the Hundred Races. If a Divine Beast really descended, the entire Hundred Worlds might fall into chaos.
The majesty of the Gods could be said to have been debated endlessly since ancient times. There was no conclusion as to who was stronger between the Emperors and the Gods!
"It's a Spirit Vein of Heaven and Earth!"
The next moment, the Chakravarti Slayer King's eyes shone brightly.
"Good lad. As expected, you have a great fortuitous opportunity. A Spirit Vein is enough to stabilize the Small World."
Dragon Lantern Divine King laughed. He was very happy that Xiao Chen had obtained a fortuitous opportunity!
The Ghost Son who had stopped fighting also stared at the projection in the sky. He did not attack again. Moreover, he was not the slightest bit afraid of being surrounded by the human race.
In reality, as a person born from the Ghost race with Great Ghost Luck, his strength was naturally unquestionable.
How could he not have made any preparations when coming to the human world? He knew that even if the Emperors of the human race attacked, he did not have the slightest confidence in defeating them. However, in terms of escaping, he was still confident.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary and he could not take down Xiao Chen in the end, he would not choose to flee. The end of this epoch was approaching. It was not just the human race that was continuously making backup plans. Even the Hundred Races were also in danger.
The Hundred Races were not united, even though they had united against the Human Race.
Although they had united against the human race, it was impossible for the Ghost race and the Fire race to truly form an alliance. One belonged to the Dark race, while the other belonged to the Light camp. The rejection between the two came from the depths of their bloodlines.
Especially during the great change at the end of the epoch, the various races would naturally have their own little plans. Back then, when the Gods were destroyed, the human race seized the opportunity to expel the Hundred Races and occupy the Desolate Wasteland.
Now that the great change was coming, they might be able to expel the human race and return to the Desolate Wasteland again.
However, for the Ghost race, their ancestral land was the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Realm. However, the Nine Nether was not only the Ghost race's Nine Nether. Among the Hundred Races, the Corpse Race, the Nether Race, and the Three-eyed Ghost Race all originated from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Therefore, in the Ghost Son's view, the human race was not a great enemy of the Ghost race. There was no conflict between the two races over the ancestral land.
Moreover, if the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Realm reappeared and the six paths of reincarnation reappeared, the lives of the Hundred Races that perished would have to cross the Nine Nether River and step onto the Yellow Springs Road, which might even increase the strength of the Ghost race.
As the Ghost Son of the Ghost race, he had obtained some secrets related to the destruction of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs from the Ghost race's providence will. Therefore, he did not hesitate to enter the human world!
