Chapter 2397 Primal Chaos Tree!

Yuan Qingheng sat back leisurely, sipping her tea.

She had anticipated Lin Xun’s reaction. In fact, anyone who had never set foot into the Eternal True Realm would likely feel some pressure upon hearing about the Great Thousand Battle Domain.

Some might even abandon the idea entirely!

Even an Emperor Ancestor would think twice before taking action.

After all, the Great Thousand Battle Domain was truly too dangerous.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xun raised his eyes to look at Yuan Qingheng. She set down her teacup and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

“One must venture into the Great Thousand Battle Domain to enter the Eternal True Realm?” asked Lin Xun.

Yuan Qingheng nodded. “If someone’s cultivation surpasses the Emperor Ancestor Stage, crossing the Great Thousand Battle Domain would be nothing to them.”

“Who created this trial?” Lin Xun asked.

Yuan Qingheng was taken aback by the question. She paused, then replied, “It’s been like this since ancient times.”

“With the power of those colossi in the Eternal True Realm, would they be able to destroy the Great Thousand Battle Domain?”

Yuan Qingheng was caught off guard again, seemingly unsure of how to answer.

However, Lin Xun smiled and added, “I’m just speculating. If the Great Thousand Battle Domain was erased, the barrier would disappear. In that case, anyone could freely enter the Eternal True Realm, wouldn’t they?”

“How is that possible?”

Yuan Qingheng’s clear eyes narrowed. “If that happened, the major forces in the Eternal True Realm would likely face challenges from forces across different cosmic planes in the Great Thousand Worlds, which would definitely lead to countless disasters. The Eternal True Realm would be thrown into chaos.”

Lin Xun’s lips curved into a half-smile. “Perhaps, it’s precisely because of what you just said that the Great Thousand Battle Domain has existed as a natural barrier since ancient times. It blocks the path of countless cultivators and prevents many disasters for the major forces in the Eternal True Realm.”

Yuan Qingheng fell silent.

She had never considered this perspective before.

“Setting a threshold to block all dangers that might encroach upon their interests...perhaps this is the true purpose behind the Great Thousand Battle Domain’s existence.” Lin Xun said thoughtfully. “Anyone who dares to break through that threshold is equivalent to declaring war on the entire Eternal True Realm. Perhaps that’s exactly why the Great Thousand Battle Domain has survived since ancient times.”

Yuan Qingheng couldn’t help but ask, “If what you said is true, then in your opinion, what kind of power would it take to break this threshold?”

Lin Xun replied calmly, “I wouldn’t dare guess, but at the very least...one would need the power to stand against the entire Eternal True Realm.”

Yuan Qingheng burst out laughing, “Fellow Daoist, there has never been anyone in history capable of opposing the entire Eternal True Realm. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future. That’s simply impossible.”

What kind of joke was this?

The Eternal True Realm stood high above all others in the Great Thousand Worlds. It was a symbol of eternity and immortality, home to countless Immortal Imperial Clans.

Furthermore, above those Immortal Imperial Clans were the Eternal Divine Clans!

Who could possibly defy them?

If such a person truly existed, then how could the Eternal True Realm still call itself ‘eternal?’

Therefore, in Yuan Qingheng’s eyes, Lin Xun’s words were nothing more than an unrealistic fantasy that would never happen.

Lin Xun simply smiled and said no more. It hadn’t happened yet, but did that mean it never would?

It was hard to say!

“Well, I’ve had my tea and said what I came to say. It’s time for me to leave.” Yuan Qingheng rose to her feet, her green robe fluttering. Her elegant figure appeared indistinct in the drifting mist, adding an ethereal charm to her beauty.

Lin Xun also stood up and said, “Leaving so soon? There’s still so much I want to ask you...”

Yuan Qingheng snorted lightly, “Everything you want to know is in the Eternal True Realm. Why don’t you go see it for yourself? I won’t fall for your tricks again and let you pull more answers out of me.”

Lin Xun chuckled and clasped his hands in a cupped fist salute. “In that case, I wish you a safe journey and a safe return home.”

After a brief pause, Yuan Qingheng tossed him a light green sachet. “Inside is a green sparrow that knows everything about the Great Thousand Battle Domain. I’m giving it to you.”

Lin Xun caught the sachet. It was embroidered with a strange inscription of the character ‘Yuan.’ In his hand, it felt as light as a feather and gave off a faint and refreshing aroma that soothed the mind.

“Thank you, Miss Yuan.”

Lin Xun did not decline the gift. Since he intended to travel to the other side of the cosmos one day, having this treasure would no doubt spare him a lot of trouble along the way.

Yuan Qingheng hesitated for a moment before speaking, “This sachet was sewn by my grandmother. You must take good care of it. If we meet again in the Eternal True Realm, you must return it to me.”

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment.

However, Yuan Qingheng had already turned away, her figure drifting into the sea of clouds like a divine green arc.

She vanished from sight, leaving behind only the faint fragrance of the sachet in his hand.

After a long moment, Lin Xun put the sachet away. He could vaguely sense that her purpose in coming here was to urge him to go to the Eternal True Realm.

As for why, Lin Xun couldn’t say for sure.

“Parted with a sachet in hand, and now the beauty is gone. Yet Little Martial Uncle, you stand here dazed as if lost in thought. Could it be that you can’t bear the kindness of such a fair maiden?” A’hu had appeared at some point, her bright eyes curving like crescent moons as she smiled mischievously.

Lin Xun snapped out of his thoughts, then chuckled, “She and I were almost enemies once. How could I have any other thoughts about her?”

A’hu let out a soft “oh” and said, “Since ancient times, there’s never been a shortage of love born from conflict. Besides, that girl is elegant like an orchid, and her beauty and bearing are as ethereal as a fairy. And she radiates a noble aura from deep within. She is clearly someone of extraordinary background. What man wouldn’t be drawn to her? It’s nothing to be embarrassed about...”

Lin Xun shot her a look. “You’re just stirring up trouble again. Also, didn’t I tell you to stop calling me Little Martial Uncle?”

A’hu chuckled, her laughter crisp and sweet.

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

In terms of appearance, A’hu was in no way inferior to Yuan Qingheng. She had both the ethereal beauty of a fairy and the allure of a temptress. Her unique charm had long captivated countless men in the New Genesis Sect, leaving them in a state of helpless and obsessive admiration.

Even some older cultivators didn’t dare to look at A’hu directly in the eye, lest their dao hearts be shaken.

Thankfully, A’hu rarely showed herself, so the New Genesis Sect was not affected.

Otherwise, with her beauty, she could have brought disaster to an entire realm.

“A’hu, how about I, your little Martial Uncle, help you find a cultivation partner?” Lin Xun suddenly asked.

A’hu blinked her bright eyes. “Sure, I don’t ask for much, just someone who can barely compare to you.”

Lin Xun said in a serious tone, “That might be a bit of a challenge, but I imagine the Eternal True Realm will have some good-looking talents.”

A’hu stared at him blankly. “Are you being serious right now?”

Lin Xun smiled. “When it comes to your happiness, how could I not be?”

A’hu rolled her eyes. “Instead of worrying about me, you should think carefully about how to handle Miss Jingxuan and Miss Xia Zhi! Oh and let’s not forget the maiden who just gifted you a sachet. I’m really curious to see how you plan to juggle them all, Little Martial Uncle.”

Lin Xun became speechless at this.

Just as he was about to speak again, A’hu had already turned and walked away with a smile.

He shook his head with a faint smile, then turned and returned to his residence.

......

Time flew by and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in an Origin World in the Green Lotus Secret Realm—

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed like the first sound of the creation of the world. Heaven and earth quaked violently, and all living things trembled.

In the distance, a tall figure soared into the sky.

Behind him, a phantom of a divine tree slowly emerged, its trunk reaching the heavens and its branches stretching across the firmament, connecting the sky and the earth. Radiant light like primal chaos poured down, weaving endless visions across the world!

Furthermore, Lin Xun, standing before the sacred tree, was like a god, the center of the endless visions!

The earth-shaking rumble was caused by this grand and boundless manifestation.

After some time, the phantom of the sacred tree slowly faded. Silence returned to the world.

Lin Xun hovered midair, joy lighting up his face.

Success!

After four years of intense meditation, he had finally condensed a sapling of the Primal Chaos Tree!

At this moment, in his True Self Emperor World, a lush, foot-tall tree now stood proudly, its trunk no thicker than a newborn’s arms and its branches bearing only a few translucent jade-green leaf buds.

Despite that, the small tree, from top to bottom, was suffused with swirling primal chaos qi, intertwining into mysterious and obscure law powers, constantly drifting and flowing.

With the presence of this single tree, his entire True Self Emperor World had changed. The mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon, stars, every blade of grass and every tree...all pulsed with a living rhythm, as if imbued with spirit and life.

This was the sapling of the Primal Chaos Tree!

It was condensed from the origin root spirits of the four sacred trees, mythical five-colored dirt, primal chaos soil, and other godly materials.

It was a treasure rarely seen through the ages, something even Emperor Ancestors had only dreamed of. Throughout history and across the vast starry sky, only a handful have been able to condense such a divine treasure!

To possess it was equivalent to holding the key to comprehending the laws of chaos. As the sapling grew, more and more laws of chaos would emerge.

What was most miraculous was that this sapling could fortify Lin Xun’s cultivation and strengthen his great dao foundation.

As his cultivation level improved, the Primal Chaos Tree Seedling would also grow alongside him. The primal chaos qi it emitted during its growth would also be fed back into his True Self Emperor World, further refining and elevating Lin Xun’s cultivation!

It was a perfect cycle of mutual nourishment. In particular, when the Primal Chaos Tree fully matured one day, it could even imbue Lin Xun’s True Self Emperor World with the foundation of primal chaos, giving rise to all living beings.

Of course, what Lin Xun looked forward to the most was the chance to grasp a complete law of chaos!

“It took four years to sprout a seed and grow it into a sapling. Now, this tree has finally merged with my cultivation, and one day, it will blot out the sun and sky!”

Lin Xun took a deep breath, his eyes deep and profound. “And now, it’s time to leave...”
