I see.
Chen Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.
His father, Chen Zhengxing, was exceptionally talented in his youth, and his current cultivation level is at least considered one of the upper echelons of the Chen Clan.
Sending such a powerful figure to quell a mere disturbance is truly a waste of talent.
Now, after hearing Chen Zhengxing's explanation, his doubts were finally resolved.
Oh, right!
At this moment, Chen Zhengxing on the opposite side seemed to have noticed something as well, and his expression hardened:
You have advanced to the Spirit Origin Realm?
yes.
Chen Qingyu picked up a piece of food and mumbled:
I happened to have some free time in the afternoon, so I took the opportunity to break through.
Chen Zhengxing paused for a moment before slowly speaking:
I promised you that once you reached the Spirit Origin Realm, I would tell you part of what happened back then.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression immediately brightened, and he quickly put down his chopsticks, looking expectant.
Dad, hurry up and tell me!
You brat, what's the rush?
Chen Zhengxing glanced at him, slowly picked up some food with his chopsticks, and said:
Now that you have broken through to the Spirit Origin Realm, it is time to travel the world.
Let's talk about it before you leave.
Pshaw, that's boring.
Chen Qingyu pursed his lips and picked up his bowl and chopsticks again.
A moment later:
After the father and son finished their dinner, they went their separate ways to their meditation rooms to cultivate.
Now that Chen Qingyu has achieved the status of a Venerable One, he no longer needs to sleep and naturally seizes the time to cultivate, hoping to become stronger as soon as possible.
The next day, early morning.
After having breakfast, Chen Qingyu, as usual, rode a cloud and headed towards the Floating Heavenly Palace.
After he achieved the Spirit Origin Realm, the power of his nine divine abilities became even stronger, and his escape speed increased dramatically. He passed through the nine layers of gale in just a quarter of an hour.
call!
He landed before the Floating Heavenly Palace and silently recited in his heart:
System! I need to check in.
bite!
The system's clear and melodious prompt sounded in his mind: 2⓪.С○мш
The host has checked in for the sixty-third time at the [ Floating Heavenly Palace ]!
The prize pool for [ Floating Heavenly Palace ] has been exhausted. This sign-in will enhance the rewards you previously obtained. Drawing is in progress! Drawing complete!
Congratulations, host! Your control, comprehension, and application of the [ Standing Upright Without a Shadow ] supernatural power have been slightly enhanced!
The sound faded.
Suddenly, a stream of information flowed into Chen Qingyu's mind.
He shuddered slightly, then quickly processed the information, came to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh.
He had been signing in for over two months, and all nine of his divine abilities had already been strengthened four or five times, so the improvement he would gain from signing in again would be minimal.
The sign-in potential of the Floating Heavenly Palace has been basically exhausted.
This made him even more excited for the next check-in location, [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ].
Just then, his vision blurred, and he could see his surroundings clearly again. He was now on the familiar Star Sea Floating Island.
The Ninth Ancestor sat cross-legged before him, his face somber and his eyes filled with sorrow.
Our ancestors!
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment before realizing what was happening and asked:
You summoned me here; have you already investigated this matter thoroughly?
The Ninth Ancestor sighed:
It's not that easy.
After the four of us old guys joined forces and closed the Supreme Void Dao Realm, we activated the true form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror to thoroughly investigate from the root cause.
Unfortunately, after spending a whole day and night, they still couldn't find any trace of the person behind it all, but instead discovered something horrifying.
Chen Qingyu's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously pressed for an answer:
What did our ancestors discover?
The Ninth Ancestor took a deep breath and slowly said:
The Great Void Primal Spirit disappeared long ago.
What?
Chen Qingyu's expression changed, and he said in shock:
The Great Void Primal Spirit has vanished? How is that possible?
If the Great Void Primal Spirit disappears, the power of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror will inevitably plummet, or even become completely unusable.
Shouldn't the Supreme Void Dao Realm have collapsed long ago?
What force has been maintaining the operation of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror for such a long period of time?
Nothing is impossible.
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and slowly said:
The power of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror is beyond your imagination.
The Primal Spirit of such a treasure is almost no different from that of an ordinary person, possessing emotions and thoughts, and even having the potential to attain enlightenment through the body of a magical treasure.
The connection between the Primal Spirit and the physical body is also extremely complex and mysterious, and even we cannot fully comprehend it.
He paused, his gaze becoming complicated.
Based on our deduction, the Great Void Primal Spirit may have long wanted to break free from the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror.
Chen Qingyu said in astonishment:
Why?
Even if the Great Void Primal Spirit is truly like any living being, it wouldn't easily abandon its physical body, would it?
The power of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror is vast and boundless; whoever masters this power will stand forever atop the Desolate Continent.
Why would it do that for no reason?
The reason is simple.
The Ninth Ancestor's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
The essence of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror is the source of its boundless power, but it is also a kind of constraint.
How difficult is it to attain enlightenment using a magical artifact?
Since the passing of the Kings of High Antiquity, it has lost its true master and has been unable to progress indefinitely without anyone to refine it.
If it wants to go further, it must completely relinquish its immense power, break free from the constraints of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, escape its cage, and embark on a new path.
As he said this, he looked at Chen Qingyu, his eyes flickering slightly:
Not to mention that as a magical artifact, it is subject to human control.
If you were Great Void Primal Spirit, could you tolerate having your life and future controlled by others?
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath and murmured:
I see
The Great Void Primal Spirit desires to break free from the constraints of its physical form in pursuit of freedom and a brighter future.
good!
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and said:
The Great Void Primal Spirit must have been planning this for a long time before finally and silently separating from its original body and disappearing.
It even fooled us; everything was arranged flawlessly.
However, this news somehow fell into the hands of the mastermind, who seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to quietly usurp some of his power.
Chen Qingyu frowned and asked, puzzled:
Since the Great Void Primal Spirit has already separated from its original form, why is the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror still unharmed?
The Ninth Ancestor responded:
As the Primal Spirit of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, it is extremely difficult for it to break free.
According to our investigation, it paid a huge price, leaving almost everything behind in its body, except for its own consciousness.
This leads us to believe that there is also a Great Void Primal Spirit of the Void.
That was its shell, devoid of any emotion or thought, like a cold, lifeless puppet, dominating everything in the Supreme Void Dao Realm.
