Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Inside the Primordial Star Core, that mass of Chaos Qi was also being absorbed and converted by the Six-Colored Lotus at an extremely slow speed.

The two were not in a parasitic relationship, but rather like symbiosis.

The Six-Colored Lotus provided the Primordial Star Core with a stable environment to inhabit.

And the Primordial Star Core provided the Six-Colored Lotus with the primal laws needed for its evolution.

If this trend continued, the Six-Colored Lotus would very likely evolve into a brand new form based on the Primordial Star Core.

As for what form that would be, Xu Zhangqing currently could not tell.

But one thing could be certain.

If the Primordial Star Core were taken out of the lotus heart now and moved into the Personal Space, it could certainly prop up the Personal Space and expand it into a truly independent Small World.

But at the same time, it would sever the connection between the Primordial Star Core and the Six-Colored Lotus.

Comparing the two, the former was a qualitative leap, while the latter was merely a quantitative expansion.

One was creation, a cradle for evolving entirely new laws.

The other was expansion, enlarging an existing space.

Which was better or worse was clear at a glance.

Xu Zhangqing had made up his mind: "The matter of the Personal Space can wait until later."

Without the convenience of the Six-Colored Lotus, forcibly merging the Primordial Star Core into the Personal Space would not only greatly reduce the effect, but also waste a tremendous opportunity for nothing.

Having figured out this key point, his mind became completely clear.

Immediately, his whole person descended from mid-air, standing at the edge of the huge pit, and then with a thought.

Spiritual light flashed on the Fangcun Ring, and a pitch-black mass rolled out of the ring, bounced twice on the ground, then lay there with its four legs in the air.

Chi Ye's body type had become much thinner than back then.

Its four paws kicked at the sky, exposing its round belly.

It tried several times, finally succeeding in flipping over.

While climbing up from the ground, it raised its face and meowed at its Master.

However, Xu Zhangqing ignored it.

Chi Ye tentatively meowed again: "Meow."

Xu Zhangqing still ignored it, merely looking down at it with a very calm expression.

So calm that Chi Ye felt creeped out inside.

After a long time, Xu Zhangqing finally spoke: "I have gotten along with you for several decades.

You have always played dumb, and I have never pursued it.

But this time, you didn't properly reunite with your family, secretly ran to a place like this, and even hid in the spatial rift where the Primordial Star Core is located.

This isn't something that can be brushed off by playing dumb."

Upon hearing these words, Chi Ye lowered its head guiltily.

Xu Zhangqing continued: "Today, if you don't tell the truth at all, I won't take you home."

Hearing this, Chi Ye didn't even wag its tail.

"Even more impossible."

Xu Zhangqing glared, saying word by word: "I'll hand you over to Linglong!"

"Meow!!!"

Chi Ye's fur all over its body stood on end.

The tone of that "meow" was clearly wrong, not the drawn-out sound of playing dumb, but a short cry carrying obvious anxiety.

It stared at its Master, showing a panicked expression for the first time.

Xu Zhangqing remained unmoved, patiently waiting.

Chi Ye opened its mouth.

Then closed it again.

Opened it again.

Closed it again.

Repeating several times, as if undergoing some extremely difficult psychological struggle.

"Sigh!"

Finally, it sighed.

That sigh was completely not a sound a cat could make.

"Forget it."

Chi Ye's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a vicissitude not belonging to any domestic pet: "This cat... no, I admit defeat!"

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

Chi Ye sat down, scratched its ears with its hind legs, the movement being a cat's movement, but its tone changed into a different accent: "Master, do you know the Demon Realm?"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "I know."

The Central Region, isn't it connected to the Demon Realm?

Kong Fang and many other demons all ran from the Demon Realm into the Tianyuan Realm.

"I..."

Chi Ye paused, then corrected himself, "I was once a Demon God of the Demon Realm, named Chi Ye."

Xu Zhangqing's gaze condensed.

Demon God?

The Demon Realm's system differs from that of Human Cultivators.

For a hundred years or so, they are all minor demons.

Exceeding a thousand years, all are called Great Demons, possessing a Nest.

Several thousand years, then they are Demon Kings who occupy mountains as kings.

Around ten thousand years, they are Demon Emperors who dominate one region.

As for further above, there are Immortal Demon Gods and Supreme Ancestors.

A Demon God is already about the same as a Great Power among Human Cultivators.

As for an Ancestor, it is equivalent to the bloodline root of a certain demon or group of demons.

"Back then, I was targeted by a fellow."

When Chi Ye spoke of this matter, his tone carried a few parts of unwilling-to-recall embarrassment: "That fellow is called Kong Fang, currently the strongest Demon God in the Demon Realm, bar none.

He wanted to use my talent to find a place."

Xu Zhangqing asked: "What place?"

Chi Ye's voice sank: "The Eternal Night Ruins."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised; he had heard this name before.

Back then, when he dueled with the Demon God Kong Fang, the other party had mentioned it more than once.

Later they even agreed that if there was a chance after eight hundred years, they would go to the Eternal Night Ruins to continue dueling.

Chi Ye explained: "The Eternal Night Ruins' location is quite mysterious, and very hard to find.

Legend says, as long as one steps into the Eternal Night Ruins, one can obtain an Ancestor's power.

Kong Fang is already a Demon God, but he is not satisfied; he wants to advance further."

Xu Zhangqing asked: "What does this have to do with your talent?"

Chi Ye gave a bitter laugh: "My talent is named 'Xun'.

Be it Spiritual Treasures, Ancient Secret Realms, or a certain specific Law Fluctuation, or a certain person's reincarnated body.

Once locked onto once, one can track down its location.

What's more, I have been to the Eternal Night Ruins once before, and know how to enter."

Now, Xu Zhangqing understood.

Why Chi Ye could find the Primordial Star Core in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan?

Why Kong Fang had to catch Chi Ye no matter what?

It was all because of it, having this "Xun" talent!

"I don't want to be his tool."

Chi Ye's voice carried a few parts of gnashing teeth: "So I stripped off a wisp of my soul, attempting to reincarnate and cultivate anew.

Originally wanted to hide for a few thousand years, wait for the limelight to pass, then come out."

Speaking here, its tone became somewhat strange: "Result never expected, unexpectedly ran into you, Master."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing questioned: "Really an accident?"

Chi Ye fell silent for a moment, then raised its head revealing an awkward yet not impolite smile: "Mainly felt... your cultivation was low back then, easy to bully!"

It paused, its tone carrying a few parts of resentment: "Result never ever expected, these years I haven't gained the slightest advantage.

Cultivation hasn't recovered much, but weight on the contrary..."

Speaking, it lowered its head to glance at its own round belly, looking very helpless.

Xu Zhangqing expressed neither agreement nor disagreement, instead asking: "Why look for the Primordial Star Core?"

Chi Ye withdrew its smile, spoke seriously: "The primordial Chaos Qi contained inside the Primordial Star Core can make up for the soul's damage.

If able to absorb one complete Primordial Star Core, I can at least recover around one tenth of my peak strength."

Speaking, it resentfully glanced at Xu Zhangqing: "Master, I only found this one with great difficulty, result just one step short, just one step short ah!"

One step away, result snatched away by Xu Zhangqing!
