Chapter 1760: Shijian
*Cough... Cough..." Xie Zuzhou coughed heavily while vomiting blood. He suffered severe injuries after his avatar was destroyed by Ling Yun for the third time, and his injuries this time were much worse than the previous two. "Damn it! Since the appearance of that bastard, all my plans have always ended in failure! Qi Wuhei, Zu Tian’er, my devil baby, and finally Jian Xieshen died at the hands of those people!"
Xie Zuzhou wiped the blood from his mouth and walked out of his cave. He observed his domain using his senses, finding that the number of his race’s members had still not recovered after the heavens attacked them several months ago.
Xie Zuzhou suddenly realized something that made him frown. "What actually happened? Zhizun Buxiu and those immortals should already know that my race is in a state of decline, but they haven’t appeared to attack us."
Xie Zuzhou would certainly be happy if Ling Yun, Zhizun Buxiu, and those immortals did not invade his domain, especially with their current conditions. However, he felt there was something strange behind their decision not to attack his domain.
"Could there be something in this domain preventing them from entering?"
Just as he was thinking that, Xie Zuzhou saw a black light rushing towards a distant area, so he immediately flew towards that area at high speed.
A few minutes later, Xie Zuzhou arrived at the area, and he found a staircase leading underground. He and his race members had lived in that domain since the end of the Ancient Era, but he had never discovered that place before.
Xie Zuzhou took a deep breath before descending the stairs. On his way down, he saw many murals on each side of the wall, but he couldn’t recognize the people on the murals.
"Could they be those immortals?" Xie Zuzhou shook his head firmly. "Jian Xieshen once told me that all the immortals are still alive, but their numbers are small, and they live atop the tower in the mysterious realm. If these people aren’t immortals, then who are these people? How did their murals end up in this place?"
Xie Zuzhou continued down the stairs, and he arrived at the bottom in about half an hour. He raised an eyebrow as soon as he saw the statue of a woman in the middle of the room, and he felt that he had met her in the past.
Xie Zuzhou approached the woman’s statue and rubbed her face. "Hmm? How did this woman’s statue end up in this place? If I’m not mistaken, this woman should be the strongest immortal, the Time Lord."
"Chuckle."
Xie Zuzhou looked at the golden-haired woman who walked out from behind the statue. He hurriedly raised his guard and activated his defense. "Time Lord? How did you get here?"
"Haha," The woman laughed evilly; her appearance was truly similar to Huang Lingzhu’s. "Unfortunately, old devil, you’re wrong about me; I’m not Huang Lingzhu but a failed product. Chaos wanted to dispose of me in the past, but he couldn’t bear to kill me, and he chose to imprison me in this place."
Xie Zuzhou raised an eyebrow. "If you’re not Huang Lingzhu, then who exactly are you? Why did Chaos imprison you in this place?"
"Just like Huang Lingzhu, I am the Time Lord." Xie Zuzhou frowned. "I was the first Time Lord, but I was a failed creation. I am not as perfect as her, and my ability to control time is inferior to hers. By the way, my name is Shijian."
"
"That’s right." Shijian walked towards Xie Zuzhou, pressed her body against his, and circled him. "Long before Chaos created Huang Lingzhu, he created me first. He disposed of me because he thought I was unworthy and twisted, and I’ve been spending time here ever since."
Xie Zuzhou pulled Shijian in front of him and stared into her golden eyes. "Can you help me?"
"Of course!" Shijian smiled smugly. "I don’t know the reason behind Chaos’s decision to show you this place, but I think he wants me to help you. Besides, Huang Lingzhu is your enemy, right?"
Xie Zuzhou shook his head. "I’ve never had any direct problems with Huang Lingzhu, but the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon has thwarted my plans time and time again, and he also injured me three times."
"Hmm?" Shijian frowned. "Does that mean Long Hun is dead?"
"Is Long Hun the first Primordial Chaos Dragon?"
Shijian nodded. "Chaos created Long Hun after me, but he didn’t know anything about me. After he imprisoned me in this place, he created Huang Lingzhu, and he gave all my memories to her. In this universe, she is the only person who knows about my existence, and you are the second person. By the way, what’s the name of his heir?"
"Ling Yun." Xie Zuzhou created a qi screen that displayed Ling Yun’s image. "He ascended to this supreme realm a few years ago, and his progress was too fast. Even with his cultivation still at the Saint God Realm, he was able to defeat my avatar so easily. I’m sure it’s not just because he is the inheritor of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, but—"
"Huang Lingzhu." Xie Zuzhou nodded in agreement with Shijian. "She is the Time Lord, and she must have helped Ling Yun by accelerating time in his domain, which also accelerated his cultivation. Besides, as the heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, I believe he has many women by his side, so his cultivation speed is incomparable to anyone else."
"Yes," Xie Zuzhou created several more qi screens, and all of them showed Ling Yun’s wives and children. "All the female cultivators are his wives, and those children are his children. However, I can’t do anything to them because several immortals, including Huang Lingzhu and the Life Goddess, are protecting them."
"The Life Goddess?" Shijian scowled and forced Xie Zuzhou to show Sheng Ming’s image to her. "Hmm? Her beauty is unrivaled, and she also looks so graceful, so she deserves that title. There are only two women who can match her beauty; they are—"
"You and Huang Lingzhu, right?"
Shijian shot Xie Zuzhou a flirtatious look. "I can help you do something about them, but you must find a way to free me from this place first."
"How can I free you from this place?"
"My statue." Shijian pointed to her statue. "Chaos has bound me to it, and it prevents me from leaving this place. If you want to free me, you must destroy it first, and I will help you fulfill your revenge."
Xie Zuzhou returned his gaze to the woman’s statue, exerted his strength, and punched it. However, it didn’t budge at all, let alone shatter. "How do I destroy this statue?"
"This—" Shijian didn’t finish her sentence, and her eyes widened as she saw her statue cracking.
Xie Zuzhou was also shocked by the sight. He was sure his strength wasn’t enough to destroy the statue, but it suddenly cracked, and the cracks continued to spread. "How could this happen?"
Shijian shook her head, but she had suspicion in his heart. ’Could Chaos have deliberately destroyed my statue to free me from this place? What exactly is he planning? Does he want to use me for some other purpose? Could his goal be Ling Yun and the Primordial Chaos Dragon?’
Soon, the statue shattered into pieces, and Shijian was instantly freed from her prison. She didn’t look happy about it, and she was certain that Chaos wanted to use her for another purpose, one related to Ling Yun and the Primordial Chaos Dragon.
Xie Zuzhou was delighted to see that. "Your statue has been destroyed, so you’re free, right?"
"Yes," Shijian waved her hand, and a golden light immediately enveloped Xie Zuzhou’s body.
"Hmm?" Xie Zuzhou was shocked as he felt the changes in his body, and all his injuries were rapidly recovering. "Did you use the time element?"
"Does that need to be questioned?" Shijian shot Xie Zuzhou a playful glance. "My abilities are not as perfect as Huang Lingzhu’s, but I can still heal you easily, and I can also help you become stronger quickly."
Xie Zuzhou took a deep breath; he had long wanted to become stronger, but his cultivation could never surpass his current level. "Are there other stages after the Three Immortal Realms?"
"Speaking of that, the Three Immortal Realms are not the peak of cultivation, and there are still four other stages above it."
"Four... four other stages?" Xie Zuzhou was truly shocked.
Shijian nodded to him. "The first three stages are called the pseudo supreme realm, and the last stage is the True Supreme Realm."
"How—"
"Unfortunately, you can’t break through to that stage unless you can go to the realm after the Supreme Realm."
Xie Zuzhou was even more shocked. "Are there other realms after the Supreme Realm? As I recall, this universe has a limit, and no one can cross its barrier."
"Haha," Shijian laughed in his ignorance. "After the Supreme Realm, there’s the Void Realm, and the Primordial Realm lies at the edge of this universe. You can go to the Void Realm if you have the ability to cross the barrier of this universe, and the quality of qi there is much better than this realm."
"Damn it!" Xie Zuzhou suddenly cursed. "Is Chaos deliberately restricting our cultivation?"
"That’s right." Shijian nodded. "The Primordial Realm was the first realm in this universe, but the chaos of the past destroyed it and killed almost all the Primordials, except Huang Lingzhu and Long Hun."
Xie Zuzhou took a deep breath. "Doesn’t that mean you’re also a Primordial? This way, only you and Huang Lingzhu are left of the Primordial Race, right?"
