Heading to Chaos Edge!

Several thousand epochs had passed.

Pangu was the first to awaken. Sensing the aura within his body, he was thoroughly satisfied. "My strength has broken through to the early Chaos Realm. Truly a cause for celebration! Hahaha!!!"

Lin Tian, Yang Mei, and the Chaos Demon Ape awakened one after another.

The Chaos Demon Ape had broken through to the mid Heavenly Dao Realm.

Yang Mei had broken through to the late Heavenly Dao Realm.

And Lin Tian had broken through to the mid Chaos Realm.

Overall, none of them had left this discussion empty-handed.

Everyone present had gained considerably from this exchange, reaping no small benefits.

After the discussion ended, they all congratulated one another on their greatly increased strength.

Joyful expressions lit up their faces, and laughter echoed through the Lin Dao Pavilion.

Seeing this, Lin Tian was in an even better mood. From his storage space, he continuously took out many long-cherished spirit fruits and fragrant spirit wine.

These spirit fruits were all crystal-clear and translucent, like rare treasures rarely seen in the world.

And the spirit wine exuded a rich, intoxicating aroma that could make one drunk just by smelling it—far more aged than the wine Lin Tian had brought out before.

Not only that, but Lin Tian also specially took out some precious Chaos Giant Beast meat and handed it to the Chaos Demon Ape beside him, signaling it to roast it.

The Chaos Demon Ape gladly accepted the task, skillfully lit a fire, and began roasting with serious focus.

Lin Tian smiled and said to Pangu and Yang Mei, "This Chaos Giant Beast meat is a rare delicacy in the world. You two must have a good taste later!"

Hearing this, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Pangu and Yang Mei's eyes, clearly stirred by the feast Lin Tian had described.

"Excellent! We'll have to see just how good this roasted meat Brother Lin Tian speaks of really is!"

Pangu laughed heartily, his unrestrained nature winning everyone's favor.

Seeing this, Yang Mei also took out some spirit fruits he had long treasured, gathered during his early travels through the Chaos. Though their grade was not high, they were still worthy!

Yang Mei waved his hand toward the void, and a spatial rift appeared. With another gesture, many rare spirit fruits emerged.

"Brother Yang Mei has good fortune, obtaining so many spirit fruits."

Lin Tian looked at the fruits Yang Mei had brought out; some felt oddly familiar.

Thinking carefully, he recalled encountering some spirit roots before, but at the time, he had collected many high-grade ones and looked down on those lower-grade roots, so he hadn't taken them.

He hadn't expected Yang Mei to have gathered them instead.

Yang Mei gave an embarrassed chuckle. "This old Daoist's fortune is shallow; I only found some Primordial Spirit Roots. How shameful, how shameful!"

Yang Mei felt awkward and lowered his head in embarrassment. He had eaten quite a few of Brother Lin Tian's Chaos spirit fruits, yet he was offering Primordial spirit fruits in return—truly mortifying.

After all, these were Brother Lin Tian's treasured fruits and wine.

Pangu, standing by, saw this and burst into loud laughter.

He waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Ah, enough of this back-and-forth politeness between you two! Come, come, let's drink heartily together—that's the real matter!"

With that, Pangu unhesitatingly picked up the wine cup before him, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp.

With a few gulps, the wine in the cup was drained without a drop left.

After drinking, Pangu smacked his lips and couldn't help but praise, "Good wine, good wine! Truly a supreme vintage of the world! Hahaha!!!"

Seeing Pangu's bold demeanor, Lin Tian smiled slightly, then turned to Pangu and Yang Mei and said, "If you two like these spirit fruits and wine, I still have plenty. I can give you some to take back and savor slowly."

Hearing this, Pangu and Yang Mei exchanged a glance, both reading the unmistakable longing in each other's eyes.

During this time of discussion, the two had been thoroughly captivated by Lin Tian's offerings, especially the spirit wine—they had fallen deeply in love with it.

After a brief hesitation, they decided not to refuse any longer and straightforwardly accepted Lin Tian's kindness.

"In that case, we two will humbly accept. Many thanks for Brother Lin Tian's generous gift!"

Pangu cupped his hands and smiled.

Yang Mei no longer felt embarrassed to decline. He thought that if he kept being so hesitant, it would only make him seem overly bound by formalities.

So he nodded and replied with a smile, "Then we'll trouble Brother Lin Tian."

Lin Tian waved his hand, indicating it was a small matter.

Just then, the Chaos Demon Ape finished roasting the meat, and Lin Tian quickly urged everyone to taste it.

They all dug in with gusto.

"Mmm, delicious, absolutely exquisite. Brother Lin Tian is truly talented to have thought of this."

"Mmm, indeed. For Pangu to have a friend like you is truly a blessing."

Pangu and Yang Mei praised as they ate, also complimenting the Chaos Demon Ape's roasting skills.

The Chaos Demon Ape said nothing, instead devouring the meat and guzzling the spirit wine with reckless abandon.

Seeing this, Lin Tian was a little speechless.

The mighty Chaos Demon Ape was acting like a glutton.

The Chaos Demon Ape now had eyes for nothing else—only meat and wine.

From the moment Lin Tian had brought out the spirit wine, the Chaos Demon Ape had been utterly captivated by its unique flavor, unable to pull himself free.

Every time he caught that rich, fragrant aroma, it felt like countless ants were crawling inside him, an unbearable itch that made him long to down an entire jug in one gulp!

Yet, frustratingly, Lin Tian always warned him that brewing this spirit wine was costly and the supply limited, urging him to drink sparingly.

Hearing this, the Chaos Demon Ape could only stare longingly at those tempting jugs of wine.

Occasionally, he would cast a gaze of utter grievance at Lin Tian, like a child whose favorite toy had been snatched away.

As for Lin Tian, he was thoroughly unnerved by the Chaos Demon Ape's pitiful, resentful stare, muttering inwardly: Could this guy have some issue with his orientation?

Why does he keep staring at me like that!

So, whenever he caught that strange look from the Chaos Demon Ape, Lin Tian would quickly scurry far away, afraid to be associated with him.

Now that he finally had a chance to drink his fill, the Chaos Demon Ape naturally wasn't about to let it slip by!

He was determined to down several jugs to his heart's content, since who knew if he'd ever get such a treat again?

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the atmosphere quieted down a bit.

Yang Mei slowly rose to his feet, smiling, and announced his intention to return to his dojo immediately to go into seclusion and cultivate, so he could calmly and thoroughly comprehend the insights gained from this discussion of the Dao.

At the same time, Pangu spoke up: "I have only recently come into this world, and I am filled with curiosity and a desire to explore this chaotic realm. Thus, I wish to take this opportunity to travel through the Chaos." His eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Demon Ape could no longer contain his inner excitement.

Having greatly boosted his own strength through this experience, he was now raring to go, eager to seek out other Primordial Gods and test his mettle.

Lin Tian did not stop the Chaos Demon Ape's plan.

He knew well that with the Chaos Demon Ape's current strength, he already possessed a certain degree of self-preservation ability.

Keeping him by his side might actually limit his room for growth.

After all, the Chaos Demon Ape cultivated the Law of Battle; only through constant combat could he better unlock his potential and break through his limits.

Next, Lin Tian also stated his own intention—to head to the edge of the Chaos and investigate, wanting to find out just how vast this Chaos truly was.

The group exchanged a few more casual words, then parted ways.

Lin Tian gazed at the expanse of chaotic colors in the distance, his mana flowing as he flew off into the distance.

Because, before this, Lin Tian had felt a tremor in his Primordial Spirit, sensing that at the Chaos Edge, something seemed to be calling to him!

So he had to go there and find out what it was.
