"Although this region is vast and boundless, and its energy is violent and strange, it seems to still have intricate connections with the Origin World where the Origin Continent is located, as if it were a 'buffer zone' or 'extended area' on its periphery."
Xingchen gradually understood.
He did not sense any other source world aura that was completely different and possessed its own complete and independent system of laws.
This means that his current activity range is most likely still within the boundary of the Hunyuan space that the Origin Continent, the source world, can influence and cover.
"Pity."
Xingchen thought with a hint of regret.
"If one could encounter powerful individuals from other source worlds, discuss and exchange ideas with them, and even trade some of the special treasures, cultivation techniques, and secret arts of their respective worlds, it would surely greatly benefit one's understanding of the Dao."
Different origin worlds, due to differences in their gestation process, core laws, and life forms, often evolve into completely different civilizations and power systems.
That clash of ideas and laws was undoubtedly an excellent resource for a cultivator like him who pursued the origin of chaos and all-encompassing principles.
Chapter 379 Cangwu Realm
The stars traversed the bizarre and chaotic torrent, and the God Emperor's perception extended in all directions like an invisible spider web, carefully examining every energy fluctuation and spatial fold.
After an unknown amount of time, just when he thought this area was still only an extension of the Origin Continent, a very faint ripple of law, completely different from the surrounding primordial energy, touched his senses.
"Ok?"
Xingchen immediately stopped, the gray light solidifying to reveal his true form. He stared sharply in the direction from which the fluctuation had originated.
The fluctuations were extremely subtle, as if they were enveloped and protected by layers of primordial energy. If he hadn't already reached the peak of the early stage of God Emperor and greatly enhanced his perception, he probably would have easily overlooked them.
"This kind of law and rhythm... is independent and complete. Although it is faint, its essence is extremely high. It is by no means something that can be produced by ordinary secret realms or energy turbulence."
A sense of curiosity arose in Xingchen's heart. He cautiously approached, his aura completely concealed, as if he had merged into the primordial space itself.
The closer you get, the clearer the fluctuations become. It's not a violent energy source, but more like... a self-contained "bubble," a relatively stable "small world" entrance embedded in the barrier of the primordial space!
"We did indeed find something!"
Xingchen's spirits lifted. He had previously speculated that in the endless primordial space, besides vast source worlds like the Origin Continent, there might be other forms of worlds or spaces.
This one in front of me seems to be one!
He carefully observed the entrance.
The entrance was shrouded in an extremely tough and profound membrane of laws. The membrane was shimmering with light and constantly drawing energy from the surrounding primordial space to maintain its own stability, while cleverly concealing its own existence.
"Such ingenious concealment and defense techniques."
The stars secretly admired it.
"The being who set up this entrance has extremely high attainments in spatial laws and energy utilization, at least at the level of a God Emperor."
This further fueled his desire to explore. After a moment's thought, he decided to go in and find out what was going on.
With his current strength, he should be able to protect himself unless he encounters a high-level Chaos Origin life form or is in a desperate situation.
Moreover, this is just the entrance to a small world, and the risk is theoretically lower than exploring a complete source world.
He extended his finger, and a wisp of extremely pure chaotic divine power condensed at his fingertip, which he gently touched the membrane of laws.
hum!
The thin film trembled slightly, creating ripples.
Instead of forcibly breaking through, Xingchen used his divine power to simulate the rhythm of the laws flowing on the membrane, carefully resonating with it.
He quickly found the frequency. The tough membrane seemed to acknowledge him, and quietly cracked open a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xingchen's figure flashed and instantly disappeared into it.
The moment you pass through the crevice, it's as if you've passed through a curtain of icy water, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changes!
The violent and chaotic energy flow in the Hunyuan Space disappeared, replaced by a relatively stable and bright void.
He appeared in a boundless starry sky!
Behind them, the entrance, like a barely perceptible star, quickly disappeared into the background of the void.
The stars immediately released their senses to examine this novel world.
The stars in the sky are dazzling, but their arrangement is different from that of the Origin Continent, containing a different kind of unfamiliar law and charm.
The energy permeating the void was neither the chaotic airflow originating from the continent nor the violent energy of the primordial space, but a kind of energy that was slightly thin but of extremely high level, carrying a faint ancient aura.
"This world... is indeed independent!"
A look of surprise flashed in Xingchen's eyes.
His divine sense spread out like a tidal wave, rapidly covering an extremely distant area.
The initial findings surprised him even more.
This world is much bigger than he imagined!
Although its overall size is far less vast than that of the Origin Continent, and it lacks the primordial will ocean that encompasses everything and nourishes all things, its vastness is still extremely expansive!
Moreover, this world has a stable structure and perfect laws. Countless stars revolve in the starry sky, some life-bearing planets exude vitality, and some continental plates even float in the void, with the aura of civilization on them!
"A small source world? Or rather... a prototype source world that is about to mature, or one that has been damaged and downgraded?"
Xingchen secretly guessed.
What he perceived next made him freeze in shock, and he put away his newly formed "looking down" mentality.
In his perception, there were several extremely powerful auras deep within this world!
Two of these auras, like the blazing sun, illuminated the core region of this world.
Their power, their condensation, and the subtle sense of oppression they exert on the stars...
"God Emperor level!"
Xingchen's eyes sharpened, and he was shaken.
Although they all seem to be at the early stage of God Emperor, not as good as his current peak state, they are indeed God Emperor level beings!
Besides these two strongest auras, there are about seven or eight other auras that have reached the ultimate level of the God King realm, and there are dozens more God King-level auras!
"This……"
Xingchen was genuinely surprised.
How could a world far smaller than the Origin Continent possibly give birth to two God Emperors and so many high-end combatants?
The origin and cultivation civilization of this world are probably extraordinary!
It seems that this endless primordial space is indeed full of wonders, and no place should be underestimated.
Just as Xingchen's divine sense swept over the area where the two God Emperors were located—
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The two auras of the God Emperor, like sleeping behemoths, stirred almost simultaneously, as if awakened. Their powerful wills, filled with vigilance and exploration, swept fiercely toward the direction of the stars!
Clearly, although Xingchen had concealed his aura, his unbridled probing just now, as well as his aura of law that was completely different from that of a "visitor from another world," instantly attracted the attention of the world's top beings!
"Discovered."
Xingchen, instead of being surprised, smiled and slowly revealed his form, no longer deliberately concealing his vast and abyss-like aura.
Since you're here, you should at least say hello.
It just so happens that he also wants to learn about this magical little world, and the... fellow cultivators of the God Emperor here.
His aura was like an undercurrent beneath a calm sea, deep and terrifying, and it made a light touch with the two sweeping wills.
The silent collision rippled across the realm of the laws of the void.
The two wills visibly paused, revealing obvious shock and solemnity.
Immediately afterwards, a magnificent, ancient, and resonant spiritual wave traversed the endless starry sky and directly reached the mind of the star: "Where do you come from, unfamiliar powerful being? What brings you to my 'Cangwu Realm'?"
The aged spiritual energy wave carried a sense of vigilance, but did not immediately reveal hostility; rather, it was more like a cautious inquiry.
Xingchen remained calm, responding with a peaceful yet imbued with the essence of its own laws. Its voice resonated directly within the consciousnesses of the two God Emperors: "I am Xingchen, from the 'Origin Continent.' While exploring the Chaotic Origin Space, I happened to sense the unusual spatial fluctuations here. Intrigued, I ventured in. I have no intention of disturbing the peace of this realm, nor do I harbor any ill will. Please forgive me."
His response was candid and direct, highlighting his identity as an "outsider" and "explorer," and expressing his apologies.
When you don't know the other party's background or attitude, this is the safest way to communicate.
Xingchen could sense that after he responded, the two powerful divine emperor wills seemed to have exchanged a few words. Their vigilance lessened slightly, but their solemnity remained.
After a few breaths, the aged voice rang out again, this time with a much gentler tone: "The Origin Continent? ...The name of the Origin World is one I have never heard of. It seems that the vastness of the Primordial Chaos is far beyond what my 'Cangwu Realm' can fully comprehend. Fellow Daoist, you were able to pass through the world barrier and arrive here safely, which is both fate and proof of your strength."
The old man's words carried a hint of emotion, seemingly surprised by Xingchen's mention of the "Origin Continent" and by his ability to travel alone across Hunyuan to reach this place. At the same time, he indirectly acknowledged Xingchen's strength, implying that the weak were not qualified to undertake such cross-world exploration.
"I, the 'Azure Wood God Emperor,' and this 'Mysterious Dragon God Emperor' beside me are the guardians of this realm."
The aged voice introduced itself and mentioned another God Emperor.
Xingchen could sense another slightly cold, savage will flicker slightly, as if it were greeting him.
"Since Fellow Daoist Xingchen entered by mistake and has no ill intentions, he is a guest of my Cangwu Realm."
"I am the God Emperor Qingmu," he continued.
"However, Fellow Daoist just now scanned the entire domain with his divine sense, which caused quite a commotion and inevitably caused some unease within the realm. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist to restrain his divine sense and follow the guidance of our will to come to the 'Cangwu Holy Temple' for a chat. Let us also fulfill our duty as hosts, and perhaps we can both gain something from it."
The invitation carried a sense of unavoidable refusal, yet it was also perfectly reasonable.
An unfamiliar god-emperor suddenly barged in and began recklessly probing the entire world. As the master of this place, it is only natural to demand that the other party show up for a talk, which is both a matter of courtesy and a necessary form of oversight.
Xingchen smiled slightly; this was exactly what he wanted. He had always wanted to make contact with the powerful figures of this world.
"That's only right. I was being presumptuous just now, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Qingmu and Fellow Daoist Xuanqiu."
Xingchen readily complied, immediately gathering the spreading divine thoughts back to its surroundings, maintaining only basic vigilance.
"In that case, please lead the way, fellow Daoists."
"good."
Aoki God Emperor responded.
The next moment, Xingchen felt two gentle forces of will acting like lighthouses, guiding him to a clear coordinate direction in the depths of the distant starry sky.
