Chapter 386: Ruins Flow Battlefield

After Shen Qing finished reading the content, the characters on the scale also slowly faded.

Shen Qing expressionlessly gripped the scale in their palm.

Primordial Mountain? Is it a location in the Third Layer World?

Charles looked at Shen Qing: "Come on, leave the place to them, let them continue repairing the grand formation; I'll take you to keep exploring."

Shen Qing shook their head: "Forget it, no more exploring; we'll talk later. I want to go look at the scriptures first."

Shen Qing didn't know where Primordial Mountain was, but the Heaven Defiers were reputed to be one of the strongest organizations in the Third Layer World, so they surely had a relatively complete map; if any place could let Shen Qing quickly find Primordial Mountain, it would be the Heaven Defiers' Scripture Room.

"Alright, then I'll take you there." Charles scratched their head, still not very suspicious, simply assuming Shen Qing had been frightened.

Shen Qing glanced at Charles, now preliminarily convinced that Charles truly was just missing a screw, and had not intentionally told Shen Qing's information to Jeffrey.

Before leaving, Shen Qing glanced again toward the direction of the giant beast, and faintly felt that there seemed to be some special connection between the giant beast and themselves.

Following Charles, Shen Qing asked: "Charles, what is this giant beast? Why is it trapped here?"

Charles looked bewildered: "I don't know either; this giant beast existed before I arrived here, and it awakens once every ten thousand years."

"I also don't know exactly how long it has existed; I only know it is very strong."

Shen Qing nodded, then proceeded silently as Charles led them into the Overturning Heaven Tower; inside was a separate world, with no rooms at all, only dozens of purple vortices, which appeared to be something like teleportation gates.

Shen Qing narrowed their eyes: "Is this Supreme Power?"

That's correct; Shen Qing felt the presence of Supreme Power on each vortex, and the fluctuation brought by this Supreme Power was more than one level above that of Destructive Power.

Charles nodded, their eyes showing a hint of longing: "Yes, this is Spatial Power."

"Ao, yes, Shen Qing, you don't yet know the grading of Supreme Power, do you?"

"Let me give you a simple explanation."

"We Heaven Defiers have graded the levels according to the might or functionality of Supreme Power; the Dream Power of the Cycle belongs to the lowest grade, which is second grade."

"The power I wield is Decaying Power, also second grade."

"And the power you wield, Karmic Power, is first-grade Supreme Power."

"And higher than that is Spatial Power, which we also call Ultimate Power."

Shen Qing nodded, thinking their Chaotic Power should also belong to Ultimate Power.

Charles then took out a token, infused it with Supreme Power; immediately the token resonated with one of the purple vortices, which swiftly shifted, and a purple teleportation gate appeared.

"That's it; go through this gate and you'll reach our Scripture Space. Just go in and browse. According to your timekeeping, you have three hours. Our recording method is special—neither text nor speech—but you'll understand once you're inside; simply touch it with Supreme Power."

Shen Qing didn't ask further, directly entered the Scripture Space, and also understood Charles's meaning: here are some steles, each blank with no text, yet strangely, Shen Qing could tell at a glance what each stele recorded.

For example, the first stele records the history of the Third Layer World, the second stele records Supreme Power...

However, Shen Qing didn't have time to dwell on the history of the Third Layer World; they'd better first look at what they needed.

Charles had just given a rough overview of Supreme Power, but Shen Qing wanted to know more in detail.

Then there was the exact location of Primordial Mountain, and finally the Way of Heaven.

Shen Qing walked straight to the stele recording Supreme Power; upon contact with their Karmic Power, vast knowledge flooded into their mind.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

A vast bell rang, pulling Shen Qing back to reality; they reluctantly withdrew from the Scripture Space.

Charles had been guarding outside; they looked at Shen Qing and asked: "How was it? Isn't our Scripture Space pretty good?"

Shen Qing also felt from the heart: "Indeed impressive; the Heaven Defiers truly deserve to be an organization that has existed for endless ages."

"Did you find the information you wanted?"

Shen Qing's eyes lit up slightly: "Yes, Charles, do you know about the Ruins Flow Battlefield?"

Charles blinked: "Ruins Flow Battlefield?"

"'Oh, you mean that ancient battlefield, right?'"

"'I've heard of it, I've heard of it; the Third Layer World is vast and boundless, naturally there are many special places, and the Ruins Flow Battlefield is one of them.'"

"'This battlefield has existed since time immemorial; as for who fought in the war, that can no longer be ascertained.'"

Charles then showed a hint of doubt: 'But I recall that ancient battlefield has nothing good inside, and it's all turbulent currents; why are you inquiring about this place?'

Shen Qing smiled: "Just curiosity."

Mainly, Shen Qing had searched through maps and documents but found no trace of Primordial Mountain; finally, in this Ruins Flow Battlefield they saw a similar report saying someone had seen the characters 'Primordial' written on a mountain here.

This is the current sole clue, and intuition tells Shen Qing that this place is very likely where they are looking for.

Charles thought of something: "Oh, right, Ling Yinuo, your precious fruit is ready—it's the Azure Heaven Holy Fruit; should I give it to you now or later?"

Shen Qing's eyes brightened: "That fast? Hurry up and bring it over."

Once the precious fruit was in Shen Qing's hands, there was no reason to wait overnight.

Lasting half a day would already count as Shen Qing exercising restraint.

"You're really impatient."

Charles sent a sound transmission; soon a Heaven Defier arrived—the same one who had previously sealed the giant beast—and they handed Shen Qing a treasure box.

Even through the treasure box, Shen Qing could feel its immense energy.

Shen Qing's Qi Sea began to tremble.

Given that Shen Qing usually feeds their Qi Sea only fine things, and is quite picky, yet this precious fruit actually caused an anomaly in their Qi Sea.

Shen Qing's eyes lit up: "This is the Heaven Defiers' foundation; excellent, I, Shen Qing, acknowledge you."

Charles swallowed: "Shen Qing, I'll find you a place for secluded cultivation."

Shen Qing waved their hand, left the Overturning Heaven Collapse, and outside casually found a somewhat secluded open space.

"This will do."

Charles was dumbfounded: "Here? Aren't you afraid of being disturbed?"

"Not afraid?"

Having said that, Shen Qing sat down cross-legged.

A joke? A disturbance? Shen Qing actually hopes someone will come disturb him.

Shen Qing has the colorful trait of lawless heaven; he's already lawless heaven, wherever he is his mind is clear and unimpeded, he fundamentally doesn't fear disturbance, and even fighting while breaking through doesn't affect him.

Secondly, Shen Qing really does hope someone will come disturb him a little; for Shen Qing, growing stronger isn't just about cultivation breakthroughs—supreme power is also a way.

Anyone who disturbs him gives Shen Qing a just cause to strike; though it's somewhat unreasonable troublemaking, Shen Qing has never been one to reason.

Besides, the Martial Emperor just sent him a mental message, saying they've ended the battle and are returning.

Now if anyone dares to disturb Shen Qing, they'll have to face two top-tier demon king guardians.
