Chapter 1970: 19: The Secret of Guluo River, Zhao Xing’s Shock! (Part 2)

"Just seeking a minor breakthrough." Guluo River said calmly, "Whether it succeeds is still unknown."Zhao Xing nodded, not intending to probe further. Since Guluo River said it was not feasible, then he should simply call Senior Gu.

But unexpectedly, Guluo River changed his tone: "To resolve the cause and effect with you, I will disclose some matters."

"The cause and effect between you and me?" Zhao Xing was puzzled. Aside from the teaching task entrusted by Old Qing, was there anything else involving him and Guluo River?

"Ever since the Yuanhai Conference incident brought you here, including me stepping up to accept disciples, everything was arranged by Qing Yu Zi." Guluo River stated, "He not only ensured that you could certainly join the Primordial Realm, and that I would certainly accept you as a disciple for teaching, but also prepared a Boundary-breaking Divine Stone early on."

"As long as you can break through to the Reincarnation Realm and establish an Inner World, the current issue can be resolved smoothly."

As he spoke, Guluo River pinched his fingers, and a pale blue light dot appeared at his fingertips.

It was only the size of a grain of rice, yet it seemed to contain a whole world, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but gaze at it, unable to look away.

Boundary-breaking Divine Stone!

Its amplifying effect during the establishment of the Inner World is second only to the legendary Primordial God Stone!

Of course, it’s possible to forcibly establish an Inner World without amplification treasures, but the risk is very high—early times saw a ninety percent fatality rate of Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture because of body explosions at this step.

"His Majesty’s Hun Yuan Tower only maintains stability. Though you can open the Origin Space now, you still can’t control two Emperor Level plant species."

"Ultimately, you need to establish an Inner World yourself to completely resolve this issue."

Zhao Xing understood that Emperor Red Star’s solution was only temporary.

The Hun Yuan Dao Tower was meant to strengthen the Inner World, but for now, Zhao Xing was merely in the Origin Space phase, meaning it hasn’t fully realized its effect.

External items are only aids, in the end, Zhao Xing needs the Origin Space to transform into an Inner World, expand, and enhance the quality to facilitate the survival of plant species; only then can control be discussed.

"With His Majesty’s Hun Yuan Dao Tower aiding you, you’ll soon have enough accumulated power, and when the time comes, you can use it to establish your Inner World."

"The Boundary-breaking Divine Stone is now yours, so I’ve fulfilled Qing Yu Zi’s instructions, resolving our cause and effect."

Zhao Xing put the Boundary-breaking Divine Stone into his embrace rather than into the Origin Space.

Because the Boundary-breaking Divine Stone has a catalytic effect; once thrown into the Origin Space, the transformation becomes irreversible, and now is not the time.

"Next is about you." Guluo River looked at Zhao Xing. "You might be puzzled as to why we have cause and effect to clear."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Indeed, it should be that Guluo River only has cause and effect with Qing Yu Zi; whether it was teaching or accepting disciples, built upon the transaction between Guluo River and Qing Yu Zi.

Usually, the cause and effect of Qing Yu Zi are sufficient to cover all agreed people and matters, not generating extra cause and effect lines; this is the specialty of the Reincarnation Temple and naturally wouldn’t involve Guluo River in additional entanglements with Zhao Xing.

"Because you solved the issue of Stacked Realm Mountain, accelerated the development of Si Yue Desolate Domain, and provided information for the Rain Immortal Festival sacrificial rituals in the Spirit Void Origin Realm, all of these have been fully retained by the Primordial Realm."

"This point is very important to me." Guluo River said. "It has brought me assistance in cultivation, and I am about to make a small breakthrough."

"Sorry for being obtuse, I don’t understand how this helps you." Zhao Xing was still somewhat perplexed.

"That’s exactly what I am about to explain." Guluo River waved his hand, and the scenery of the hall instantly transformed into a void: "I will tell you about my Path of Enlightenment, as my reciprocation to you."

"As is widely known, Self Sect’s theory posits four stages of the world."

"Primordial, Origin, Myriad Phenomena, Silent Extinction."

"When a Small World reaches the silent extinction stage, everything goes towards annihilation, and so does the universe."

"The birth of a Desolate Domain indicates that our universe is transitioning from the Myriad Phenomena stage to the Silent Extinction stage."

"You should know Xuanling Star Domain is part of the Ancient River Region."

Guluo River painted the universe map, and Zhao Xing nodded.

"The spiritual energy from the Void River bursts out, forming a splendid cultivator civilization, with countless spiritual energy territories rising up around this great river."

"During the Five Emperors Era, Xuanling Star Domain was vastly larger than it is now; in fact, when we say the Five Emperors unified the Human Clan territories, it included the entire Ancient River Region, not just Xuanling Star Domain."

Zhao Xing’s pupils constricted as he saw the universe map drawn by Guluo River, which was ten thousand times larger than the present, possibly conflicting with his previous life’s understanding?

In his perception, the Xuanling Star Domain was merely one territory among many, and the Ancient River Region should contain many similar cultivator civilizations and forces.

"Senior, are you saying that the Ancient River Region..."

"Yes." For the first time, Guluo River’s voice held an emotional fluctuation, somewhat desolate: "The Ancient River Region also decayed with the universe’s development."

"Since the end of the Five Emperors Era, the Gu Luo Realm suddenly saw many deserted domains emerging, dividing the Ancient River Region into numerous territories both large and small."

"In the publicity by nations and super forces, the universe boasts vast territories and abundant spiritual energy."

"In reality, that’s impossible, as the universe is poised to enter the Silent Extinction stage, such a theory is untenable."

"Thus, Xuanling Star Domain now stands as the largest territory with the most spiritual energy and life within the Ancient River Region."
