Chapter 1067: The Secret of the Return Ruins

"Then why have you returned to the Primordial World this time...?"

Luo Hou asked.

Logically speaking, the larger the world, the higher the upper limit for its cultivators.

Since there are worlds in the depths of Chaos that transcend the Primordial World, why does Yang Mei not cultivate in those worlds?

Even if not cultivating in those worlds, one should continue to travel through Chaos, because the more worlds one experiences, the more essence of civilization and cultivation systems one can collect.

Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one.

This is absolutely of great benefit to one's own cultivation, and is certainly not something that closed-door bitter cultivation can compare to.

If it were him, he would not come back.

Yang Mei smiled slightly: "For the Great Dao."

"For the Great Dao..."

Luo Hou was suddenly startled and blurted out: "You have comprehended the laws to the peak of the Trunk Realm and are about to prove the Great Dao?"

Yang Mei nodded and said: "Correct."

Luo Hou's facial features were almost twisted, his heart filled entirely with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Why!

Why is he still struggling to 'become a Saint', while Yang Mei has already reached the level of Pangu and begun to seek to prove the Great Dao.

They are of the same generation!

Back then, he didn't even put Yang Mei, who only knew how to live in seclusion and cultivate, in his eyes.

Luo Hou tried his best to suppress his emotions, squeezing a smile onto his face: "Congratulations, but I wonder, have you determined your method of proving the Dao?"

Proving the Dao is not that easy, especially proving the Great Dao.

How majestic and brilliant Pangu was back then, yet in the end, he was still forced to open the sky and try to prove the Dao through Strength.

But ultimately, he ended up with his body transforming into all things in the Primordial World.

It is not easy for Yang Mei to want to prove the Dao.

Yang Mei sighed: "Wanting to prove the Great Dao, how could it be so easy? I have traveled through Chaos and seen over a dozen peerless powerhouses comparable to Pangu; they have been trapped for countless years.

However..."

He paused and continued: "I once accidentally obtained a few words left behind by a predecessor who failed to prove the Dao. At the moment of his failure, he pierced through the Return Ruins and saw that there was an opportunity to prove the Dao there."

"The Return Ruins!"

Luo Hou exclaimed: "Could it be that there are also Return Ruins in the Otherworld? How is this possible!"

The Return Ruins.

Isn't it unique to the Primordial World?

The light in his eyes flickered rapidly, and he thought of many things in an instant.

If other worlds also have Return Ruins, doesn't that mean the countless worlds in Chaos are not independent existences?

From another perspective, the Return Ruins must be even more mysterious than he imagined.

It can actually connect the Heavens and Myriad Worlds!

One must know that in Chaos, every world is separated by an infinitely vast distance.

If not for Yang Mei's unique talent, it would be almost impossible for there to be communication between worlds.

Yang Mei nodded: "Correct, every world has Return Ruins; it is the final resting place for all things in the world. It is just that whether the Return Ruins of other worlds are the same as our Primordial World's remains to be verified."

Luo Hou nodded, his expression suddenly changing slightly, as if he had thought of something.

He looked at Yang Mei vigilantly and said in a deep voice: "Why would you tell me such a secret matter so frankly?"

When things are abnormal, there must be a Demon!

If it were him, if he knew such a secret, he would never tell anyone else.

Yang Mei smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, no need to be nervous. I returned to the Primordial World for the Great Dao. But if I want to enter the Return Ruins, I will need your help."

"Me?"

Luo Hou could not believe it: "I am not even a Saint anymore, how can I help you enter the Return Ruins?"

"Because you have fallen before," Yang Mei explained: "For anyone above a Great Luo Golden Immortal, if their life imprint has not been wiped out by others, their consciousness will enter the Return Ruins in a trance. Although you have been resurrected and returned, you still carry the aura of the Return Ruins on you. I need to use this aura to trace the source and open the passage to the Return Ruins ahead."

"So that Strange World was actually the Return Ruins!"

Luo Hou was somewhat stunned.

He once thought that the Strange World was his unique opportunity, a manifestation that appeared when he inadvertently communicated with the Time River in a peculiar state of being neither dead nor alive.

He did not expect it to be the Return Ruins that countless people seek but cannot find.

After a long time, Luo Hou came back to his senses and asked again: "With your cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to resurrect a Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Time River, so why go to such great lengths to come back?"

Chaos is boundless, with no coordinates to speak of.

Therefore, traveling through Chaos is easy, but wanting to return is by no means an easy task.

Yang Mei nodded: "Indeed, it is not difficult, and I have tried it before, but using the Return Ruins aura on them, I could not locate the Return Ruins at all. Therefore, I suspect that perhaps only by returning to the Primordial World can I enter."

Born in the Primordial World, every living being will be tainted with the aura of the world.

No errors, no omissions, no missing content, take a look!

This world aura is very likely the key to entering the Return Ruins.

If it is not one's own front door, the key naturally cannot open it.

Luo Hou nodded gently.

Yang Mei said: "I see that your situation is not very good, Fellow Daoist; you must have encountered a powerful enemy. If you help me, I can also take you into the Return Ruins. With the mystery of the Return Ruins, it might not be difficult for you to become a Saint within it."

Luo Hou's eyes rolled, and he almost wanted to ask Yang Mei to kill Yin Qi and Hongjun.

But in the end, he held back.

Not to mention that in the Honghuang, there are quite a few people who have been resurrected and reborn, such as Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, and many Great Witches of the Wu Clan, who are currently in the Chaos.

Just speaking of Yang Mei's divine abilities, resurrecting a Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Time River is not a difficult task.

Yang Mei does not necessarily have to be the one.

Right now, it is Yang Mei who wants to carry him to success, not begging him.

Thinking of this, Luo Hou hurriedly nodded and said, "Many thanks to you, fellow Daoist, for giving me this opportunity. However, look at my injuries; I am afraid I need to wait for a period of time until I have recovered."

Yang Mei smiled slightly and said, "Naturally. By the way, I happen to have a treasure here that can help you, fellow Daoist, recover quickly."

As he spoke, he took out a milky-white crystal and said, "This item is called the Light Holy Crystal, which I obtained while traveling through the Chaos; it contains endless vitality within."

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist."

Luo Hou was overjoyed and hurriedly took it.

Such a supreme treasure is extremely rare, or even non-existent, in the Primordial World.

Yang Mei asked, "By the way, fellow Daoist, how were you resurrected, and who injured you? From what I can see, there is still Saint's might remaining on your body; you must have been a Saint before, right?"

He had also just returned to the Primordial World when he discovered Luo Hou.

Since they were figures from the same era, having left the Honghuang for over ten million years, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

It is like a traveler who has been away from their homeland for a long time; upon just returning to their Village, even seeing a former 'enemy' would likely evoke a sense of intimacy.

Luo Hou sighed and said, "My resurrection was also an accident. More than forty thousand years ago, a monster was born in the Honghuang, one who was even more formidable than you, fellow Daoist.

In just a few tens of thousands of years, he had already become a Saint, and he was unfathomable.

I joined forces with the six Saints to ambush him, but the result was a crushing defeat.

At that time, various factions were wary of him, and in order to improve their strength as quickly as possible, they successively attacked the Heavens Demon World, plundering the remnant thoughts of Chaos Demon Gods to improve their cultivation, and countless members of the Demon race died miserably.

The remnant thoughts after their deaths stimulated the remnant thoughts of the Chaos Demon Gods in the Heavens Demon World, and they joined forces to pierce through the Time River and fished my True Spirit out from the ancient past."

"Becoming a Saint in a few tens of thousands of years, how is this possible!"

Yang Mei also exclaimed. (End of chapter)
