49: Chapter 49 Incomplete Qi?

Fortunately, Chen Yuan stopped himself in time; the simulator had not yet distributed the cultivation base.

If others discovered his cultivation had suddenly skyrocketed to the Void Refinement Stage, they would surely drag him away to be sliced up for research.

However, his Void Refinement Stage cultivation seemed to already be the strongest combat power in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Chen Yuan turned to look at the burly man walking in; if he guessed correctly, this person must be Hao Xitian, who had appeared many times in the simulations.

Chen Yuan exchanged pleasantries with Hao Xitian. After all, Hao Xitian was currently the only one who treated the three brothers so well.

Although he was merely his father's subordinate, he was impeccable toward his own people.

Hao Xitian could not have imagined that these Chen family boys were each more heaven-defying than the last.

Coupled with the Chen family's inherited constitution, even Hao Xitian, an elder who had lived for ten thousand years, could not help but sigh that the world was about to produce a few more geniuses.

Afterwards, Hao Xitian chatted with the three Chen brothers for a long time. Chen Yuan did not expose the existence of the simulator, merely saying that he had accidentally stumbled into an ancient secret realm and obtained a legacy.

After all, even if Hao Xitian bore him no malice, judging from his simulated experiences, the simulator was very likely related to that so-called space-time mirror.

Chen Yuan did not want to expose his trump card too early.

Hao Xitian also revealed his plan to use the Great Competition of Ten Thousand Races as a cover to smuggle the three of them into the Upper Realm.

However, Chen Yuan used the excuse that his cultivation still needed stabilization and that he wanted to practice here a while longer with Chen Dao and Chen Nian, asking Hao Xitian to wait for a while longer.

Although he now knew he could travel to the Upper Realm through the Giant Flood Dragon Clan's secret realm, the key was how to gain a foothold in the Upper Realm without being discovered.

In the final analysis, his cultivation was still insufficient. If Chen Yuan could break through to the Celestial Monarch or Immortal Monarch level, he would simply suppress and kill that Inspector.

Afterwards, Hao Xitian took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Yuan, telling him to cultivate here with peace of mind while he went to investigate the pawns arranged by the Xingzhi Academy in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

"Senior Hao, do you know of any way to hide our Spirit Ruins Realm aura?"

As he was about to leave, Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Hao Xitian pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Actually, the current Heavens and Myriad Worlds were originally nurtured by the Spirit Ruins Realm; the Spirit Ruins Realm's aura can be said to be the most primitive and most universal aura.

It's just that after the Upper Realm betrayed the Spirit Ruins Realm ten thousand years ago, it stole the Spirit Ruins Realm's world origin, causing your current aura to be missing a part, which is why you can be discovered by people from the Upper Realm."

"Missing? What is this missing part?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly pressed for an answer; he now had to find a way to solve the problem of his Spirit Ruins Realm identity.

The best way was to completely hide or erase the Spirit Ruins Realm aura so that he wouldn't be tracked or searched upon entering the Upper Realm.

In the last simulation, it was precisely because the Tianxuan Sect Master discovered that the aura on Chen Yuan's body did not match the others in the Upper Realm that he became suspicious of Chen Yuan.

"The Erosion Abyss! The world origin stolen by the Upper Realm cannot be retrieved. Now, if you want to complete the aura on your bodies, you can only do so through the Erosion Abyss."

"The Erosion Abyss?"

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed deeply; if he remembered correctly, the Erosion Abyss seemed to be filled with death qi.

"That's right. Do you know why the Upper Realm wants to separate the Western Region and Middle Pond in the Spirit Ruins Realm now?"

Hao Xitian's gaze was profound as he looked at the three brothers.

Chen Yuan and the others all shook their heads. Chen Yuan only knew that it seemed to be to isolate the people of the Spirit Ruins Realm and not let the Spirit Ruins Realm have a chance to resist.

"It seems like the Upper Realm is controlling the direction of the humans in the Spirit Ruins Realm, but in reality, those two great arrays are locking away the remaining world origin of the Spirit Ruins Realm!

The world origin of the Spirit Ruins Realm is now gradually dissipating outwards. You cannot enter the center of the world in the Western Region or Middle Pond; only in the Erosion Abyss is there a sliver of a possibility to complete your aura."

Once these words were spoken, the three of them were all shocked.

They had not expected the Upper Realm's heart to be so malicious; not only did it steal the Spirit Ruins Realm's world origin, but it also wanted to destroy the entire Spirit Ruins Realm.

"No wonder the death qi entering my body in that simulation greatly increased my strength; it seems it was because it was mixed with world origin."

Chen Yuan thought silently to himself, recalling that simulation when he broke through to the Deity Transformation Stage.

He had found it strange at the time why the people of the Burning Heaven Alliance generally seemed much stronger than those in the Western Region; it seemed the reason lay right here.

"The Upper Realm is truly vicious. If I have the strength, I will definitely go and tear those people to shreds."

"Exactly, the Spirit Ruins Realm nurtured them, yet they betrayed the Spirit Ruins Realm, and now they want to destroy the Spirit Ruins Realm."

Chen Dao and Chen Nian were filled with hatred, while only Chen Yuan remained silent on the side.

Based on Hao Xitian's explanation, Chen Yuan also felt somewhat helpless.

Just wanting to preserve his life was a problem right now.

Remaining in the Spirit Ruins Realm with a Void Refinement Stage cultivation wouldn't be very useful; the Upper Realm could send down countless Deity Transformation cultivators, and the Spirit Ruins Realm definitely wouldn't be able to hold out in a dozen years or so.

If he wanted to develop in the Upper Realm, he had to solve the identity issue; otherwise, he would be hunted down by that Inspector before he could even gain a foothold.

At this moment, a preliminary plan had already formed in Chen Yuan's mind, but he still needed to test the waters through a few more simulations.

Fortunately, he had also given Chen Yuan some resources, allowing him to simulate a few more times.

Now that the simulator had reached the Void Refinement Stage, the consumption of spirit crystals was one hundred per time, and he had less than one thousand spirit crystals in total.

He only hoped to find a way out through these few simulations, or at the very least, find a method to settle down in the Upper Realm.

Joining other sect forces like last time wouldn't really work either.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm going to go practice first."

Chen Yuan bid farewell to Chen Dao and Chen Nian. Time was money; he had to test if his plan would work before the Great Competition of Ten Thousand Races.

...

Upper Realm, a certain forbidden land

This place was a chaos, with various rules and laws running rampant; even if a Divine Monarch came here, they would perish if they were not careful.

However, deep within this chaos, a temple stood tall.

"Xiuyi!"

"This subordinate is here."

"Have you sensed it? Just now, there was an aura of Xuan Xiao?"

"This... my cultivation is low, I have not yet sensed it."

"It must be right, it must be Xuan Xiao! No, that's not right, this bloodline... could it be, are Yuaner and the others here?"

This voice was filled with excitement.

Seeming to sense the emotions of the voice's owner, the laws of the entire forbidden land began to riot.

"What? Is it the Young Masters?"

"There was only a momentary causal connection just now, which I captured. It seems they have not yet arrived in this realm."

"Master, does the subordinate need to go and meet the Young Masters? This subordinate is worried..."

"No need. My, Yan Qingwei's, sons are not so easy to kill."

The voice paused for a moment, then languidly continued:

"Since that's the case, we still need to make some preparations. Eight thousand years; it's time for these old things to pay back some interest!"
