Chapter 1921

Even Shi Long was stunned.

He, too, had assumed that the Chaos Shencheng was a small world opened up by the Chaos Immortal Emperor.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor then said, "Back then, it was merely by chance that I opened the Chaos Shencheng! This Chaos Shencheng has existed for much longer! It's just that it had been forcibly sealed by someone, and for a very long time, no one could enter."

"However, in my era, the seal loosened, which allowed me to enter it and obtain the Chaos Great Dao."

This time, before Luo Tian could speak, Shi Long asked in surprise, "A seal? Who sealed that place? And why would they seal it?"

The Chaos Immortal Emperor shook his head and said, "I do not know who the person who cast the seal was, nor do I know what their purpose was! But based on my calculations and the residual aura of the seal, the one who sealed the Chaos Shencheng was also an Ancient God."

"This..." Shi Long fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something.

At this moment, Luo Tian asked, "May I ask, Senior, what exactly is inside the true Chaos Shencheng?"

Although he had already obtained the key, it was better to be clear about it.

Hearing this, the Chaos Immortal Emperor did not hide anything and said directly, "Inside the Shencheng, there are abundant opportunities! There is a vast amount of Chaos Energy! Of course, besides these, there are two things that are the most precious."

"Oh? Two things? What are they?" Luo Tian asked curiously.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor said, "The first is the Divine Text that records the Chaos Great Dao."

Luo Tian nodded slightly.

He had heard people say that the Chaos Shencheng contained Divine Text.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case.

Moreover, this Divine Text actually recorded the Chaos Great Dao.

On the other side, the Chaos Immortal Emperor said, "The second is a strange stone slab."

"A stone slab?" Luo Tian was taken aback for a moment and looked up at the Chaos Immortal Emperor.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "That's right! However, I never found out what that stone slab was in the end! I only know that the stone slab was extremely special! Even on the day my cultivation reached its peak, I could not damage it in the slightest despite using my full strength."

"This..." Shi Long was shocked.

For the Chaos Immortal Emperor to use his full strength, that must have been a terrifying amount of power.

Even such power could not destroy it?

Luo Tian thought of something and said, "Is that stone slab still in the Chaos Shencheng?"

The Chaos Immortal Emperor shook his head and said, "No, the stone slab was taken away by my true body."

"Hm? Taken away? Taken where?" Luo Tian pressed.

After a moment of contemplation, the Chaos Immortal Emperor said, "Very well, telling you now is no harm! I took that stone slab to suppress the entrance to the Heavenly Desert."

"The entrance to the Heavenly Desert?" Shi Long's eyes widened.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "The fellows inside the Heavenly Desert have always intended to invade the Upper Realm; a few times they nearly destroyed the Upper Realm directly! I once tried to seal the entrance to the Heavenly Desert, but it was completely useless! Later, after I discovered the anomaly of that stone slab, I used it as a suppression object to seal the entrance to the Heavenly Desert!"

"Since then, the supreme powerhouses within the Heavenly Desert have never been able to set foot in the Upper Realm again."

Shi Long gasped and said, "This... the Divine Wilderness and the Heavenly Desert, these two ominous lands, have always been equally famous! It's just that since the ancient era, the Divine Wilderness has invaded repeatedly and even left behind forbidden zones of life in the Upper Realm! But the Heavenly Desert has been unusually quiet! I thought it was because the Heavenly Desert had declined; I never imagined it was for this reason..."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor smiled bitterly, "In terms of danger, the Heavenly Desert is even more terrifying than the Divine Wilderness; one must never be careless!"

Shi Long immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

At this moment, the figure of the Chaos Immortal Emperor began to fade.

He frowned and said, "This soul shadow of mine is about to dissipate; if you have any other questions, ask quickly."

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "May I ask, Senior, what are Ancient Gods? And is Divine Power a realm above the Immortal Emperor?"

Hearing this, the Chaos Immortal Emperor shook his head and said, "No! Whether it is Ancient Gods, Divine Power, or the Divine Dao, none of them are realms; they are merely a type of special power."

"Oh?" Shi Long was surprised.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor continued to explain, "So-called Ancient Gods, strictly speaking, should be considered a race!"

"A race?" Luo Tian was surprised.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "That's right! According to their own accounts, Ancient Gods are an innate race born of heaven and earth! Their numbers are scarce, but their strength and talent are extremely powerful!"

"They are born with mastery over Divine Power! As long as they can grow up, they possess power not inferior to an Immortal Emperor without needing to cultivate!"

"Among them, some outstanding individuals possess power far exceeding that of an Immortal Emperor! However, powerhouses of this level are rare even among the Ancient Gods."

Luo Tian nodded slightly upon hearing this.

At this moment, the Chaos Immortal Emperor suddenly added, "However, according to my research on Ancient Gods over these years, mastering Divine Power might be a method to break through beyond the Immortal Emperor."

"Oh?" Luo Tian's eyes lit up instantly.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor continued, "Back then, I once fought a remnant Ancient God in a secret realm and eventually killed them! After killing the opponent, I obtained that fellow's Divine Power! At that time, I had a feeling that as long as I fused with that Divine Power, I could break through to a higher realm."

Shi Long was shocked.

He had no idea that such a secret existed regarding the Chaos Immortal Emperor.

"Then, Lord Immortal Emperor, why didn't you break through?" Shi Long asked.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor sighed, "There are two reasons. The first is that I felt I had not fully mastered the Chaos Great Dao, so if I chose to break through at that time, it would not have been the best opportunity!"

"The second is because of fear."
