Primordial World, a Treasure Trove Blue Star Would Continue to Explore

After Qiuniu rode the waves away, the image in the Firmament remained fixed on that nameless immortal island.

Blue Star, Unknown Plane Research Center.

The conference hall fell silent for a brief moment. No one spoke.

Previously, they had speculated that Qing Xuan's trip to the East Sea was an incredibly foolish decision, one that would lead him to his death.

Especially after Qiuniu appeared, everyone believed that the conflict between Qing Xuan and the Dragon Race would completely erupt.

And Qing Xuan and Qiuniu had indeed exchanged blows.

Yet the final outcome left everyone on Blue Star wide-eyed.

Qiuniu had actually been beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

Of course, they could naturally tell that the two sides had not truly erupted into conflict.

At first, both Hu Liena and Shen Qinghe had assumed that was merely because the Dragon Race did not know what had happened in the North Sea.

Yet unexpectedly, while Qiuniu and Qing Xuan sat together brewing tea and discussing the Dao, Qing Xuan directly revealed what had happened in the North Sea.

And even so, Qiuniu actually invited Qing Xuan and Qing Yi to become guest elders of the Dragon Race once again.

Someone in the research room said, "It seems that Qiuniu, Ancestor Dragon's eldest son, has a far gentler temperament than we imagined. Perhaps he can become our first contact target."

The others also expressed their agreement.

After completing this record, nearly everyone in the conference hall turned their attention to another statement.

"The road beyond Great Luo has been cut off."

Of everything Qiuniu had said in the Firmament, this was the most important piece of information for Blue Star.

The head of the Plane Research Group revealed the excitement of someone whose long-standing question had finally been answered.

"This statement fills the most critical gap in our model of nascent planes."

Shen Qinghe turned to look at him. "Can we form a preliminary conclusion now?"

"We can."

The person in charge quickly brought up a large amount of previously accumulated observation data.

"The Primordial World belongs to the category of planes with extremely high energy levels among those Blue Star has discovered so far, aside from the Douzhe Continent. At the highest estimate, we can even place the Primordial World on the same level as the Douzhe Continent."

"Of course, this is only the highest estimate. But we must note that a world possessing a high energy level does not mean it has developed a mature civilization."

"The laws and spatial structure of a nascent world are less stable, still gradually settling over long years. When the same power is unleashed, the celestial phenomena and destructive range it produces may far exceed those of a mature plane."

"Therefore, we cannot directly convert the scenes that appeared in the Firmament into the combat power of the Douzhe Continent."

"Especially in the battle of the North Sea, the Firmament was disrupted by the remnant world and fluctuations of power, and never showed the true clash between the three Great Luo beings."

"What we can confirm now is only that Great Luo stands at the peak of the Primordial World. As for what kind of strength this realm truly possesses, we still cannot make an accurate judgment for the time being."

These words did not stir much controversy.

Everyone present had already discussed the relationship between the Primordial World's phenomena and actual combat power countless times.

What truly concerned them now was another conclusion indicated by this model.

An association member who had participated in the development of dozens of planes was the first to speak.

"In other words, the individual strength of the Primordial World may be very powerful, perhaps even comparable to the Douzhe Continent, but they have not established a mature cultivation system."

"Correct."

The head of the Plane Research Group nodded.

"At least from the information we have seen so far, those Innate Divine Beings rely heavily on their own foundations and innate Great Dao in cultivation."

"They discuss the Dao with one another and compete for opportunities, yet there are no unified realms, much less a path of growth that later generations can steadily learn and repeatedly verify."

"Even supreme beings such as Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Primordial Qilin could only explore on their own after reaching the end of Great Luo."

"They even needed to draw upon the fortune of their entire races to test a path whose success was unknown."

Zhou Ruolan watched the light screen thoughtfully. "No wonder Qiuniu said they had no other choice."

"It is not that higher realms truly do not exist in the Primordial World. Rather, their civilization has not accumulated enough knowledge to find a method of reaching that realm. Ancestor Dragon and the others can only gamble with the future of the three races."

As her words fell, many people around her revealed expressions of agreement.

The creatures of the Primordial World possessed exceptionally long lifespans. This was an advantage Blue Star could not deny.

But more likely, because this world was a nascent world, the evolution of its creatures and even the world itself required extraordinarily long years.

This might have been the convenience and advantage granted to them by a nascent world, intended to accelerate the growth of the Primordial World's creatures and civilization.

But when it came to the accumulation of cultivation civilization, the situation was completely different.

Starting from Martial Soul awakening on the Douzhe Continent, from Soul Scholar to Soul Master, Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, and finally Titled Douluo, every stage had a clear direction for cultivation.

There were likewise countless experiences left behind by predecessors regarding how Soul Rings should be chosen, Soul Bones fused, and Soul Cores condensed.

Beyond that, there were also proven Divine Position inheritances.

Even if the vast majority of Soul Masters could never reach that step in their entire lives, they at least knew that the path truly existed and understood which direction they should strive toward.

"This is not bad news."

The head of the strategic department sitting across the conference table looked at the map of the Primordial World, heat gradually rising in his eyes.

"If the Primordial World possessed not only powerful native beings but also a mature civilization far surpassing ours, then after the passage opened, Blue Star could only find a way to trade with them for a few scraps."

"But things are different now."

"They possess innate spiritual treasures we have never seen before, the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and vast territories. We likewise possess a complete cultivation system that they lack. When both sides truly make contact in the future, Blue Star may not have to remain only the party asking for things."

The atmosphere in the conference hall visibly changed.

For the first time, they truly saw bargaining chips Blue Star could place on the table.

"A complete cultivation system?"

Hu Liena softly repeated the words, and at last an unconcealed smile appeared on her face.

"I think our bargaining chips go far beyond that."

Shen Qinghe frowned slightly. "You mean?"

Hu Liena said, "Cultivation paths, academy systems, sect inheritances, Soul Guidance Technology, and countless studies into Soul Beast bloodlines and Martial Soul Evolution—these are all parts of a mature civilization that the Douzhe Continent accumulated over long ages."

"Those Innate Divine Beings of the Primordial World may indeed be blessed by heaven, but after reaching Great Luo, they do not even know where to take their next step."

"At the end of the day, they are merely ancient beings occupying a treasure mountain without understanding how to truly make use of it."

"This is our greatest advantage—not merely some so-called cultivation system, but the civilization of an entire mature world."
