Chapter 406: Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain

Heaven-defiers' base.

Shen Qing and the other Heaven-defiers had already returned to the base.

Heaven-overturning Tower.

Ling came to see Shen Qing and the others after receiving simple treatment, but his arm remained in a broken state with no sign of recovery.

The Martial Emperor looked at Ling's arm: "Can't your arm grow back? Just find any treatment with life force and it'll be fine, right?"

Ling found a seat and shook his head helplessly: "It's hard to treat; when that silver giant beast shattered my arm, it left a distorting force on it, and the beast's distorting force has already comprehended a domain, so it's hard to remove."

"Unless a master who has comprehended the Life Force Domain comes, it can't be done."

"But we can't find such a person right now..."

Shen Qing didn't speak; he wasn't really keen on healing Ling, firstly because he didn't want to expose the existence of the Life Force Domain too early.

So far, the only people who know Shen Qing has comprehended the Life Force Domain are either our own or already dead.

Secondly, Ling and Shen Qing really have no connection; there's no need to reveal my trump card for him.

Seeing Shen Qing silent, the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao didn't say much; Shen Wendao directly steered the conversation back on track.

"What exactly is that silver giant beast? It feels far stronger than us."

Ling nodded, his face solemn: "That silver giant beast is called Xuan Ji; your feeling is correct—it is indeed far stronger than us."

"Its exact origins are unknown, but based on the intel we have, Xuan Ji is likely related to the legendary Primordial Old Man, and it controls at least four kinds of supreme power and three supreme power domains."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes and asked: "Primordial Old Man? Who is that?"

"As for the Primordial Old Man, you don't need to ask more—I don't know much either; I only know he grasped ultimate power and time force, but he hasn't appeared in ages."

Shen Wendao suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Ling, I've always had a question—you said the Heaven-defiers are the top power in the third layer world."

"But why have I never seen a Heaven-defier who has mastered a supreme power domain?"

This question is also on Shen Qing and the Martial Emperor's minds—how can one of the strongest forces lack anyone who has mastered a supreme power domain?

Ling also anticipated they'd ask this, smiling faintly: "When I first arrived, I had the same question."

"This is something I only learned later: in this third layer world, there is actually a concept of sunrise and sunset."

"It's just that the timespan is long—one cycle is a thousand years, with five hundred years of sunset and five hundred years of sunrise."

"During sunset, the third layer world's energy contracts; those who have comprehended a supreme power domain can plunder the world's energy, thus extending their lifespan. Since the world's time flow is already slow, plundering energy can add hundreds of thousands of years to one's life without issue."

Shen Qing and the two others then realized—no one would complain about having a long life.

Ling continued, his tone somewhat helpless: "But a new cycle is coming soon, and the sunrise will arrive; those predecessors will emerge one after another."

"You see Xuan Ji just burrowed out; we probably happened to fight where it was sleeping, waking it up gave it a bit of morning grumpiness, so it got a little irritable."

Shen Qing fell silent for a while; Ling doesn't know much either, so it seems we need to get the truth from the Primordial Old Man.

Shen Qing looked at Ling: "Ling, do you still have that precious medicine you gave me before?"

Ling fell silent for a moment: "Those precious fruits are still scarce; obtaining them is rather troublesome. I can help you look for them, but it will take some time."

"Coincidentally, your information is very important this time; we'll do our best to help you find it."

Shen Qing nodded: "Thank you."

Ling pondered for a moment, then said: "You want the precious fruit to break through your cultivation? If so, you don't need it—we have a better substitute."

"It's that treasure schemed by the Heavenly Dao."

Shen Qing's eyes lit up, getting to the point: "A treasure that can break through cultivation? What exactly are those Heavenly Dao scheming this time, making you so anxious and causing such a big commotion?"

Ling realized, raised his chin and pointed ahead: "Just look for yourselves."

Following Ling's gaze, in the endless darkness a huge outline appeared—a great mountain flashing with a faint golden light.

"A mountain?"

Ling nodded: "Yes, a mountain; we call it Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain."

The Martial Emperor narrowed his eyes: "To make you go to such lengths, it must be an extraordinary treasure."

"Exactly, it's a formidable treasure; Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain can gather energy, help us comprehend a supreme power domain, and is also useful for new paths and cultivation breakthroughs."

He then smiled, looking at Shen Qing and the two others: "Once the grand formation is drawn and Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain is settled, you will be the first batch of users."

"All who participate in this battle are eligible to use Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain, plus some past meritorious Heaven-defiers, but your three positions are definitely the best."

Saying this, Ling stood up, straightened his clothes: "Let's go; Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain has already absorbed enough energy along the way, so it can be used directly upon landing."

"'Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain's energy is limited; whoever snags it gets it, whoever's ability lets them grab more gets more—if you can't grab it, you have no right to complain. Of course, fighting is prohibited on Primordial Magnet Divine Mountain."

"Of course, I believe in your abilities."

Shen Wendao noticed Ling's words: "Ling, aren't you going up?"

Ling walked ahead, shaking his empty sleeve: "I'm not going up this time; anyway, my chance will be kept."

"With my arm broken, going up wouldn't yield much; I'll just wait for next time."
