Chapter 2027
Cultivators all possess the ability to remember everything they see. Upon hearing the small tower's mention, Chen Xuan instantly recalled it, his pupils suddenly contracting: "Could it be that you mean..."
"Once you enter this Star Ruins, you should see that the void is still dotted with countless stars, and the territory is boundless, right?" The little tower's tone became serious.
"The quasi-emperors who created this battlefield would never have deliberately moved the stars here. The stars that exist now are mostly because after those quasi-emperors fell, their inner worlds were no longer bound by their physical bodies and completely merged with this void."
"As for the strange creatures you encountered, they should be descendants of the bizarre half-step ancient ancestors who died here—the worlds that evolved within them," Xiaota explained.
"Actually, apart from differences in cultivation systems, appearance, and cognitive concepts, we and the Strange Clan are similar in terms of divine body cultivation. We can both evolve a world within our bodies."
At this point, Xiaota sighed: "So it's not surprising that immortal-level, pure yang, and even innate grand formations appear in this place. It seems that after that battle, the beings that evolved from the inner worlds of the powerful beings on both sides inherited the fighting spirit of their ancestors and have been fighting in this void ever since."
"Such a thing actually exists... Even after death, the beings nurtured within one's inner world continue the fight for one's ancestors?" Chen Xuan was astonished, gaining a deeper understanding of the brutality of the Immortal Ancient Era.
"But after countless cosmic eras, no one knows how many descendants of the ancient immortal races remain in this star ruins, fighting against the strange descendants," the little tower added, changing the subject.
"If you want to find the divine essence of the Pure World White Lotus, don't search aimlessly like a headless fly—that will only be a waste of time and effort. Instead, try to find the ancient immortal clans that have settled and multiplied here; they might be able to point you in the right direction."
Chen Xuan suddenly understood and thanked him repeatedly. But then he remembered something and asked, puzzled:
"After I defeated those strange creatures, I wanted to search their souls for some clues, but they turned into nothingness as soon as they died, leaving not even a remnant soul behind."
"Hmph, this is the terrifying aspect of the strange race." Little Tower's voice turned cold.
"Before they invaded our universe, the powerful beings within their clan placed a restriction on all their members—if they were killed or harbored any thoughts of betrayal, the restriction would be triggered, causing their souls to be annihilated on the spot."
He paused, then added with a hint of regret:
"That is why, from the Immortal Ancient Era to the present, our cultivator civilization has very little understanding of the universe of the Strange Race. Only the Chaos Willow Tree, one of the four great spiritual roots of the Immortal Ancient Era, once broke through the Strange Race's defenses with invincible power."
"Are you talking about the ancestral spirit of the divine body that gave birth to three thousand chaotic divine kingdoms—the Willow God?" Chen Xuan was shocked and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, that's it." Little Tower's voice was full of regret.
"It's a pity that it was too aggressive back then. When it turned back, it was suppressed by the Great Emperor, who was stationed in the rear of the Boundary Sea, while it was in the sky above the Boundary Sea. The divine tree was destroyed, and the three thousand Great Daos it cultivated were also erased. In the end, only a withered and charred tree root remained, which fell into the depths of the Boundary Sea, which even the Great Emperor dared not easily step into."
"If it had been able to return safely and bring back information about the strange race, perhaps we wouldn't have lost so many Supreme Beings, Quasi-Emperors, and even Great Emperors during the decisive battle at the Immortal Ancient Imperial Pass," the little tower sighed.
"Intelligence is crucial for a war for the survival of civilizations. Back then, because we were completely in the dark, we could only distribute our forces evenly, while the strange race relentlessly attacked the weak Imperial Pass, ultimately forcing the Great Emperor guarding the pass to sacrifice his own Great Dao in a desperate battle."
Listening to Xiaota's story, Chen Xuan felt a heavy weight in his heart—with his current strength, he didn't even have the qualifications to watch the battle at the Imperial Pass, yet he had to search for the Pure World White Lotus in this dangerous Star Ruins, and also worry about Qiu Zixian's safety.
“Young Chen Xuan, there are many great opportunities hidden in this Devouring Demon Star Ruins. If you can seize them, you can not only improve your Dao foundation, but also get closer to the Pure World White Lotus.” The little tower’s voice pulled Chen Xuan back to his senses. “Don’t just stand there. Break this Pure Yang Formation first.”
Chen Xuan snapped out of his reverie, stopped thinking about it, and immediately closed his eyes, immersing himself in the deduction of the Pure Yang Grand Array. He had already thoroughly grasped the Dao of Array Formation, and the deduction was as smooth as applying a formula—although this grand array was a whole realm higher than him, it was not difficult for him because it was incomplete and missing parts.
Ten days later, Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
He raised his hand, and six Northern Darkness Swords hovered in front of him, their blades shimmering with brilliant spiritual light. With a low shout, the six swords shot out like arrows, accurately slashing towards the base of the great formation.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The 762 array bases were struck one after another by the sword energy, and the array patterns instantly dimmed and shattered. The Pure Yang Array, which originally covered the void, scattered like broken glass and finally completely dissipated into the void.
The overlapping array of light curtains in the void eventually turned into bubbles and completely dissipated.
With his divine sense fully activated, Chen Xuan flew rapidly for millions of miles. After a thorough search, he still found no signs of any living beings on the ground.
Finally, Chen Xuan randomly found a mountain peak and set up a magic array to aid in the deduction.
After a simulation, Chen Xuan discovered that the closest living being's aura was actually six million miles away.
Fortunately, Chen Xuan, who has now comprehended the mysteries of space, is no longer the naive young man he once was. For him, a distance of six million miles is nothing more than a few dozen spatial teleportations.
The little tower awoke, and it was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the array set up in the void. Several times, when Chen Xuan did not detect anything unusual, the little tower spoke up to warn him that there was a dangerous array ahead.
Chen Xuan casually shot out a low-grade magic weapon to bombard the target. As expected, the low-grade magic weapon hammer was shredded into fragments by a solitary thread of light, which frightened Chen Xuan so much that he immediately changed his course.
On the 167th time Chen Xuan shifted his universe.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately sensed a strange fragrance. This fragrance was one that Chen Xuan had never heard of before. One whiff of it made him feel like every cell in his body was dancing. His instinctive desire was to find the source of the fragrance immediately.
Chen Xuan had never been obsessed with the strange fragrance, so when he smelled it after being moved to this place, he did not suspect that it was some kind of trickery by this place.
wow——
A section of the broken, blue-green pagoda flew directly out from between Chen Xuan's eyebrows and spun around him.
"This smell is somewhat familiar, but it's not right. During the Immortal Ancient Era, I came into close contact with seven of the Ten Heavenly Fragrance Physiques, and none of them had this fragrance," Little Tower muttered to itself.
