Chapter 391: Eye of the Origin

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows; enslaving slaves can also plunder traits? That feels good.

It perfectly solved Shen Qing's worry that enslaving slaves would not allow plundering traits.

Xu Luo continued speaking: "Please, master, command Xu Luo as you wish."

Shen Qing tapped his finger: "Get up first."

"Yes."

Xu Luo immediately stood up, standing straight and proper.

"Age."

"Four hundred twenty-three years old."

"Affiliated organization."

"Rebel."

"How long have you been in the Rebel Organization?"

"It has been over three hundred years until today."

"Do you have anything to say about the Rebel Organization?"

Xu Luo was silent for a moment: "Here there is no human sentiment to speak of; this is a primitive society, a society of the weak preyed upon by the strong."

After confirming he could answer fluently, Shen Qing also began formal questioning.

"How did you learn the news of Primordial Mountain?"

Li Lun, upon hearing this question, also immediately spoke: "I'll go keep watch."

He could feel the formidable nature of Primordial Mountain.

Although Shen Qing did not drive him away, meaning Shen Qing did not mind sharing this secret.

But he, Li Lun, cannot be oblivious; he still understands the principle that the less you know when lacking ability, the better.

Not long after Li Lun left, Xu Luo pondered for a moment and spoke: "I discovered Primordial Mountain by chance; I saw that stone tablet, but I did not recognize the script. I returned to my clan and looked up the characters before confirming it was Primordial Mountain."

"So, no one else knows about Primordial Mountain, right?"

Xu Luo replied thus: "No one knows; I originally wanted to keep it all to myself."

"There should be one person; when I was healing my wounds, I accidentally let slip once, and Ma Ke heard it, but he did not know it was Primordial Mountain, only hearing the two words 'Primordial'."

Shen Qing nodded; Ma Ke had already been dealt with by Shen Qing, so now no one else knows of Primordial Mountain's existence—this is best, reducing much trouble, and Shen Qing thus obtained the first reward: something like the Supreme Soul Seal Manual.

If the news of Primordial Mountain were to spread, who knows how many living beings would come rushing.

"Then what else do you know about Primordial Mountain?"

"According to our clan's records, Primordial Mountain is a training ground for supreme experts, and this mountain path has become a trial route; anyone who can ascend this mountain can become a disciple of Primordial Mountain."

"But later Primordial Mountain disappeared; now, according to my speculation, its master and other powerful beings erupted in a great battle, thus leaving Primordial Mountain here, and this Ruins Flow Battlefield is also the wreckage left from that fight."

Shen Qing asked again:

It seems this Supreme Soul Seal Manual is even more useful than I imagined, able to largely retain one's consciousness; this Xu Luo can even think independently.

Shen Qing nodded: "Alright, return to the Rebel Organization; after returning, do not mention Primordial Mountain, nor me, just blend in normally with them; if you have any important news, remember to inform me, understood?"

If Xu Luo were at peak strength, his ability would indeed be not bad, stronger than Li Lun, but Shen Qing currently does not need his combat power; his returning to the Rebel Organization to gather intelligence for Shen Qing is the best choice.

Xu Luo stood straight: "Understood! I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Go."

After Xu Luo left, Li Lun also returned to Shen Qing's side.

"Shen Qing, so this Xu Luo will henceforth be your servant?"

Shen Qing nodded.

"Li Lun, do you want to climb this mountain a bit? The things at that pavilion are actually not bad."

Li Lun shook his head without even thinking: "I'd rather not; Xu Luo's talent and strength are both greater than mine, yet he still climbed to that state; if I were to climb, I might not reach that pavilion even after a thousand years."

"Shen Qing, you should continue climbing the mountain; I'll stay down here and keep watch for you."

Li Lun's words were not without reason; Shen Qing did not insist, turned and continued climbing toward the summit; along the way, Shen Qing also incidentally synthesized a trait.

The Pupil Technique played a crucial role in Shen Qing's growth, and the strength of the Chaos-grade Trait is evident to all.

Only seen, the ancient divine patterns around Shen Qing's eye sockets shone ever brighter, as if endless starry skies were rotating and appearing within his pupils.

If at this moment anyone looked at Shen Qing's eyes, they would surely lose their consciousness.

Just then, in the boundless darkness, an anomaly suddenly arose; an eye spanning the entire Ruins Flow Battlefield opened.

Li Lun, who was at the base of Primordial Mountain, only felt his hairs stand on end.

He looked toward that gigantic eye on the Ruins Flow Battlefield, feeling as if he had stepped into an endless abyss, although his feet were on the ground, an endless sense of loss surged.

Li Lun's voice trembled slightly.

"What... what is this?"

A bang.

Li Lun, a strong expert who had just forged a new path, actually failed to stand firm and heavily sat down on the ground.

Suddenly, Li Lun thought of something, and a notion he could hardly believe arose in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Shen Qing, who was steadily climbing the steps of Primordial Mountain; indeed, Shen Qing was steadily advancing toward the summit, utterly unaffected by that gigantic terrifying eye.

Could it be that he didn't see it?

But how could that be? That eye makes one feel the illusion of being devoured by the abyss even without looking.

The only explanation is that this anomaly was created by Shen Qing.

Shen Qing is breaking through again!!

Gradually, the terrifying aura reached its peak; Li Lun only felt his whole self about to be devoured by the abyss.

But just then, this aura abruptly ceased, and the terrifying eye also vanished from the void.

Li Lun looked toward Primordial Mountain: "Breakthrough completed?"

Shen Qing opened their eyes, a vast and boundless Weiya swept out, and Li Lun at the foot of the mountain again fell into the abyss.

And at this moment, Shen Qing's pupils had completely turned into a profound darkness, as if composed of countless galaxies and dark matter.

【Congratulations on obtaining the trait: Primordial Eye (Chaos-tier)】
