Chapter 2868: Primordial Spirit of the Divine Emperor

Chapter 2868: Chapter 2868: Primordial Spirit of the Divine Emperor

Throughout the Divine Palace, there was an abundance of unimaginable Divine Power that Fang Bai found incomparable to any other Cultivation Holy Land he had ever visited.

"Where is this place?"

Fang Bai was startled. As he stood up, he discovered that his physical body had been restored to its pristine state, becoming even stronger, with Divine Power surging within his Qi Sea, seemingly on the verge of a breakthrough.

"This is... a sign of ascension!"

Fang Bai was overjoyed.

Just then, on the Cultivation Platform in the center of the Divine Palace, appeared the figure of an elderly man in a blue robe, sitting cross-legged.

The elderly man in the blue robe had kind eyes and a pleasant demeanor, looking at Fang Bai with interest.

Fang Bai also directed his gaze towards him.

"You are..."

Fang Bai couldn’t sense any Divine Power fluctuations from the elderly man in the blue robe, but he saw that his eyes seemed to contain stars in motion, harboring endless energy.

Although the elderly man was sitting there, he gave off an aura of profound mystery, making one feel as if they could only look up to him.

"Hehe..."

The elderly man in the blue robe suddenly spoke, laughingly addressing Fang Bai, "What a surprise, young one, your talent is the best I’ve ever encountered in my life!"

The phrase "my life"?

Upon hearing these words, Fang Bai, recalling some past events, blurted out, "Are you the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor?"

The elderly man in the blue robe said, "Yes and no."

Seeing Fang Bai’s confusion, he smiled and explained, "I am merely one of the Primordial Spirits of the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor, responsible for guarding this Divine Palace, while my true form is far away, millions of miles from this place."

Experts in the Divine Realm, upon reaching the Divine Emperor Realm, have their Primordial Spirit become corporeal, possessing autonomous consciousness and independent thinking abilities. Unless the true form imposes strong interference, there is no difference between the Primordial Spirit and the true form.

So the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor before him, although just a Primordial Spirit, was actually equivalent to the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor himself.

Meeting a top expert of legend in the Divine Realm, Fang Bai couldn’t help feeling a surge of excitement.

"Why am I here?"

Fang Bai asked.

He still remembered passing out on the seventy-fourth step leading to the Divine Palace gate; the next moment he appeared inside the Divine Palace, which was truly bewildering.

"I brought you here."

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor stood up, stepped off the Cultivation Platform, and said, "I noticed your unique physique, extraordinary aptitude, and astonishing willpower—a rare talent of ancient times—so I took an interest in you and brought you here to take a look."

He circled Fang Bai’s body once, clicking his tongue in admiration, saying, "Good! Very good! Your physique is rarely seen throughout history, far exceeding the strength of what I know of in the Divine Realm. Your future achievements are difficult to estimate, probably far surpassing mine!"

After a pause, he continued, "You arriving here at my Divine Palace means it’s a destiny between us. Well then, let me impart some things to you."

With a wave of his sleeve, words appeared in the space before Fang Bai.

These words shimmered with a golden hue, each stroke containing the Great Dao Principles, exuding a majestic aura.

"This is..."

Upon a mere glance, Fang Bai knew these words were extraordinary, unlike anything he had ever seen.

"These are some Imperial Grade Divine Method Secret Techniques, which will be useful in your future Cultivation."

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor said, raising his right arm, pointed at Fang Bai’s brow, and the golden words transformed into golden rays, penetrating into Fang Bai’s Sea of Consciousness at his brow.

Moments later, the golden rays disappeared, Fang Bai closed his eyes to sense, and indeed the Sea of Consciousness contained the Imperial Grade Divine Method Secret Techniques, which he could cultivate at any time, his heart swelling with joy.

Despite his high aptitude and unmatched talent, even without assistance from other experts, he might reach the Divine Emperor Realm in the future through his own exploration in Cultivation, though that would likely take much longer.

Now, with ready-made Imperial Grade Divine Method Secret Techniques in his Sea of Consciousness, his Cultivation would have shortcuts, allowing him to attain the Divine Emperor Realm more swiftly.

"Thank you, Upper God."

Receiving such an opportunity, Fang Bai knew it was worth the trip, and he solemnly clasped his hands in salute to the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor.

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor smiled faintly, flicked his fingers lightly, and another Spatial Divine Ring appeared before Fang Bai.

"Take these Cultivation Resources, they will aid your future needs in Cultivation."

Fang Bai expressed his gratitude once again.

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor said, "Of course, I am not giving you these opportunities for free. There is a matter concerning the safety of the Divine Realm, and I hope after you attain the Divine Emperor Realm, you can assist us."

"Us?"

Fang Bai detected this term from the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s words.

This indicated that there were multiple experts at the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s true form’s location.

And the experts who can be with the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor must be strong, potentially other Divine Emperor Realm experts.

He wants me to offer assistance after becoming a Divine Emperor, which suggests that the current danger in the Divine Realm is under control but may require multiple Divine Emperors to eliminate the future crisis?

Fang Bai wanted to ask what precisely the danger the Divine Realm would face was, but after some thought, he decided not to inquire.

He understood that the Spirit Sea Divine Emperor would not hide what could be told, and asking now was useless for what couldn’t be shared.

"Correct, it is us!"

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor’s face became serious, speaking solemnly, "The Divine Realm faces an unprecedented threat, but fortunately, numerous Divine Emperors are guarding it, ensuring temporary safety. However, in a thousand or ten thousand years, that may not be the case. If we lose our defenses, it could spell disaster for the Divine Realm."

Fang Bai said, "Since it concerns the safety of the Divine Realm, I am naturally obliged to assist. However... can I know what the matter is now?"

The Spirit Sea Divine Emperor remained silent, only lifting his hand and making a swipe through the void.

Suddenly, before Fang Bai’s eyes appeared a starry sky, within which there was a massive, terrifying black hole.

Fang Bai found it strange, and then suddenly emerged a mountain-sized mythical beast from the black hole, emitting an astonishing aura.

The beast roared and opened its mouth wide, biting a nearby small star chunk off.

The beast continued biting, until eventually, the entire star was "eaten," its aura growing even more terrifying.

"Hiss..."

A creature of such size that feeds on stars was unheard of, and Fang Bai couldn’t help but gasp deeply.

The beast devoured several stars in succession, some of which were inhabited by Divine Realm beings, most of whom couldn’t escape and became food for the beast.

With each star the beast consumed, its aura increased.

Evidently, it was using star consumption and seizing Cultivation Resources on the stars to increase its power, disregarding the mass death of Divine Realm beings.

While the mythical beast was devouring stars, some beings in the Divine Realm rose to fight in resistance, angrily roaring, and attacked the beast, aiming either to slay it or force it back into the black hole.
