Chapter 392: Primordial Old Man

Primordial Eye (Chaos-level): In the primordial beginning, chaos was undivided, the Great Dao had not yet been inscribed between heaven and earth. That wisp of the earliest primordial consciousness coalesced in the void to become the Primordial Eye.

Shen Qing blinked slightly; the galaxy in his pupils dispersed, turning into ordinary eyes.

While merging the entries, Shen Qing's climbing steps did not stop; he had truly reached the mountainside.

Compared to the small pavilion just now, the building here is much more luxurious—a small house with its door ajar.

Shen Qing glanced around and saw a grand formation surrounding the house, but it was not an offensive formation; it should be some kind of buff-type.

Shen Qing pushed open the door; the interior had no special decoration, and entering did not produce the light orb for selecting treasures as in the pavilion.

The whole room was empty, with no furnishings except a futon in the center.

Shen Qing also understood the purpose of this room: it should be a comprehension-type reward.

Shen Qing slightly adjusted his breathing and sat on the futon.

Just as Shen Qing steadied himself, the room's grand formation activated; a faint fragrance entered his nose, making him feel a third more alert.

Shen Qing's comprehension was already heaven-defying, yet this fragrance actually added a bit of fuel to his heaven-defying comprehension.

Immediately, energy gathered, and many light points appeared in the air.

Shen Qing was intimately familiar with this sensation; these light points were imitating the operating route of his Supreme Power, constantly optimizing it.

Shen Qing then realized that the purpose of this room was to comprehend Supreme Power!

Shen Qing acted quickly, directly pointing out Life Force; the embryonic Life Force Domain unfolded, and the light points in the air sensed his Life Force, beginning to spin rapidly, imitating and evolving.

Nodes were built one after another in the air, while Shen Qing's superlative comprehension came online, frantically advancing the progress of the Life Domain.

Vast and mighty Life Force surged forth, and Shen Qing's comprehension of Life Force leapt forward by leaps and bounds.

And just as Shen Qing was comprehending Life Force,

In the darkness

After half a day, the energy on the futon was exhausted, and the grand formation ceased operation entirely.

But Shen Qing had already fully comprehended the Life Force Domain; his recovery ability had reached a terrifying level—as long as Supreme Power remained undispersed, combined with his Dragon Elephant Prajna Art thirteenth layer and the Chaos-level Entry Chaos Myriad Laws Body.

Shen Qing could even achieve rebirth from a drop of blood; as for severed limbs? They would regenerate in the blink of an eye.

Most importantly, he had comprehended the domains of both Karma Power and Life Force, finally fulfilling the prerequisite for comprehending Chaos Power, giving him two Supreme Power domains.

The next step was to comprehend Chaos Power.

Shen Qing laughed, retracted his Life Domain, left the house, and continued climbing toward the peak; at the pavilion at the mountain's base he obtained the Supreme Soul Seal Art, comprehended the Life Force Domain at the mountainside, and his anticipation for Primordial Mountain grew ever stronger.

Moreover, as the distance to the summit shortened, Shen Qing could feel that summoning sensation growing ever stronger.

And at the mountain's base, Li Lun also saw Shen Qing emerge again from the house.

"Really formidable."

Li Lun gritted his teeth, his eyes full of admiration; just as Shen Qing was comprehending the Life Force Domain, Li Lun also stepped onto the stairs to give it a try.

The first few steps he could still manage, but after stepping onto the tenth step, the pressure doubled; going up, each step Li Lun took was as hard as climbing to heaven, until he could not move at all.

But at that moment, Li Lun looked up and saw that ninety percent of the way to the pavilion remained.

So Li Lun simply retreated, his admiration for Shen Qing rising even higher.

If he did not climb the stairs, seeing Shen Qing would be like a frog in a well viewing the moon in the sky.

Only after climbing the stairs did he realize that seeing Shen Qing was like a tiny ant beholding the vast sky.

Li Lun murmured.

"But maybe it's time to slow down."

After all, having reached the mountainside, the superimposed pressure there was already unimaginably great.

In fact, Shen Qing did feel a hint of pressure, but when had he ever said that his previous climb was using his full strength?

Shen Qing snorted, his surging heartbeat echoing across Primordial Mountain, his whole body transforming into a blazing sun, golden light radiating boundlessly.

Immediately, Shen Qing rushed toward the summit like a gust of wind.

Meanwhile, Li Lun at the mountain's base was dumbfounded; before he could come to his senses, Shen Qing had already charged to the summit.

"?"

After reaching the summit, Shen Qing immediately dispelled the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, for there was utterly no pressure here.

Shen Qing gazed at the exquisite small building before him; its sign bore two characters: Primordial.

A mysterious feeling welled up from his heart, growing ever stronger, as if something in the building was calling to him.

Suddenly, a warm sensation came from his chest.

Shen Qing reached in and pulled out the purple scale given him by the mysterious giant beast; now the scale emitted a faint purplish glow.

Shen Qing opened his palm, and the scale swiftly flew to the gate of the Primordial Building, perfectly fitting the recess there.

Boom—

The gate opened, and an ancient, primordial aura rushed forth.

Along with it sounded an aged voice.

"You have finally come."

Brilliant golden light shone from the gate, laying out a road of brilliant golden light before Shen Qing, as if welcoming his arrival.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, wondering if this was another sentient being that, like the mysterious giant beast, had existed for endless ages.

Why in the Primordial Building? Is he the master of Primordial Mountain?

Yet Shen Qing sensed no trace of life's aura within the building.

Nevertheless, having come this far, there was no reason to retreat; he had many questions and wanted answers.

Shen Qing lifted his foot and stepped onto the golden light.

That golden light pulled him swiftly into the Primordial Building.

Upon entering the Primordial Building, the space was extraordinarily vast, and in the very center stood a yellow-wood chair; seated upon it was a green-robed old man whose whole body exuded a decaying aura, his pupils seeming to have time flowing within them.

He raised his finger, and a chair flew to behind Shen Qing.

Shen Qing was not polite either, directly sat on the chair and locked eyes with the green-robed old man, Shen Qing's voice calm.

"Who are you?"

The green-robed old man raised his eyes, his voice filled with decay.

"You can call me the Primordial Old Man, though I am already dead."
