The Ruined Palace

After Qin Huaian entered the spatial rift, an ancient, desolate aura rushed toward him.

Qin Huaian was not surprised. From Elder Mingde's memories, he knew that no signs of life existed within this space.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but desolation.

Countless strange mountains and jagged peaks stood within it, yet aside from scorched black rocks, not even a single blade of grass grew upon them.

Across the earth, Qin Huaian saw many long-dried riverbeds. Judging by their scale, they must once have been vast rivers surging endlessly onward.

However, Qin Huaian did not inspect them closely. Instead, he flew at full speed in a certain direction.

Before Qin Huaian had entered this secret realm, the World Tree had already sensed the aura of an origin.

Yet Qin Huaian had been unable to sense that origin aura from outside the spatial rift.

Once Qin Huaian entered this place, even without the World Tree, he could already sense an aura of fire-attribute origin.

Yet in Qin Huaian's perception, this faint fire-attribute origin aura filled the entire space, seeming to be everywhere at once. There was simply no way to determine its exact location.

This was also one of the reasons Elder Mingde had been unable to find the Fire Origin's location back then.

Though he could sense the Fire Origin, he could only search everywhere like a headless fly.

Yet after spending a thousand years, Elder Mingde had not even found the boundary of this world.

This world was simply too vast, seemingly boundless and endless.

However, through the World Tree's perception, Qin Huaian could accurately sense the direction in which the Fire Origin lay.

But he could only sense the direction. As for how long it would take to reach the Fire Origin, that remained
