4481 The Primitive Realm
The two elders from the Leng clan watched as Duan Ling Tian, Hu Fei Yan, and Tan Xiu Teng boarded the flying ship and vanished into the horizon.
Leng Jing shuddered inwardly when he sensed the two elders' cold gazes on him. He knew he would be punished for causing the Leng clan to suffer such a huge loss this time.
'Damn it! I hope the clan will be lenient with their punishment…' Leng Jing lamented inwardly, feeling regretful. Then, he gritted his teeth as he continued thinking to himself, 'Zhong Yue is a terrible friend. As the Young Master of the Zhong clan and the next Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, it's not too much for him to shoulder the responsibility, right? It's not like the clan will heavily punish him. From today onward, we're no longer friends!'
…
Zhong Yue was naturally unaware of Leng Jing's intention to sever ties with him. On the journey back to the Zhong clan, he sent a message to his father, the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan.
"Father, I'm really dissatisfied. I'm sure you feel the same way as well. We're only speculating that he has the protection of a demi Saint; nothing's confirmed. I hope we can investigate this matter and find the truth. Otherwise, I won't be able to accept this!"
Zhong Yue did not act recklessly like he did previously. This time, he spoke to his father first. As the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, his father naturally had connections to a few supreme powerhouses. Perhaps, they could use the connections to deal with Duan Ling Tian secretly.
"I'll deal with this matter. Leave it to me," Zhong Yue's father replied immediately.
…
Zhong Han Yin, the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, was a tall and burly middle-aged man with a pair of big and wise eyes. He was also a supreme powerhouse, but he was ranked at the bottom among supreme powerhouses. He was no match for Hu Bu Gui, the Lord of the Colossal Heaven Army, let alone a demi Saint. However, his strength did not affect his authority in the Zhong clan because the strongest supreme powerhouse in the Zhong clan was his great-grandfather. Very few people below the realm of demi Saints were a match for his great-grandfather in the Peaceful Might Realm.
At this moment, Zhong Han Yin's expression was dark, and his big eyes shone with killing intent, like a ferocious beast that was about to pounce on its prey. He muttered under his breath, "Nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings… What a greedy person! I don't care who you are or whose protection you're under… The Zhong clan isn't a pushover you can mess with as you please…"
Following that, Zhong Han Yin moved slightly and vanished into thin air. In just a moment, he reappeared in a room in a spacious courtyard. Then, he sat cross-legged in the air before a translucent figure rose from his body and disappeared into another realm.
Before he left, he could be heard saying, "Nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod… I'm sure many people would covet these things…"
…
The Primitive Realm was a magical realm that was only accessible to supreme powerhouses. When a supreme powerhouse entered the realm with his or her consciousness, he or she would manifest in the realm with a brand new appearance and identity. Even the aura would be different.
No one knew how the Primitive Realm came to be, and how long it had existed. Supreme powerhouses could sense it easily; it was as though the realm was calling out to them. It was difficult for supreme powerhouses to identify each other there unless they willingly did so. Many supreme powerhouses like to go to the Primitive Realm to while away the time and exchange knowledge to raise their cultivation base. Some of them also went to the realm to obtain information regarding the Realms of Origins.
The Realms of Origins were similar to secret realms. However, unlike secret realms that were man-made, Realms of Origins formed naturally from the laws of heaven and earth. They contained many fortuitous encounters for supreme powerhouses. Some of these fortuitous encounters could even improve the strength of supreme powerhouses who were stronger than the average supreme powerhouses. However, there was a catch. Supreme powerhouses could not enter Realms of Origins; only those below the realm of supreme powerhouses could enter them. As such, supreme powerhouses with subordinates in the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods had the advantage in this situation since they could send them in as a proxy. Peerless top advanced Supreme Gods were acknowledged to be peerless among those below the realm of supreme powerhouses, after all. Those who were close to the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods were no match for peerless top advanced Supreme Gods at all; the difference between their strength was like heaven and earth. For example, Duan Ling Tian who was invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods could not even withstand three strikes from a peerless top advanced Supreme God. After becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God, one's energy would be changed by the law of heaven and earth that governed the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, and one would undergo a transformation in all aspects. It was a little similar to the transformation of energy once one entered the realm of supreme powerhouses. The energy was simply known as the Great Energy.
Supreme powerhouses tended to keep information about the Realms of Origins to themselves. However, some weaker supreme powerhouses, who knew they were no match for their peers in competing for a Realm of Origin, would enter the Primitive Realm to spread information about a Realm of Origin to stop stronger supreme powerhouses from monopolizing the Realm of Origin. In fact, this tactic was not limited to Realms of Origins.
Zhong Han Yin had entered the Primitive Realm this time to spread the word about a cultivator close to the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods possessing nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod. Stronger supreme powerhouses might not care about these things. Moreover, their reputation would be tarnished if it was made known that they snatched things from someone weaker than them. However, weak supreme powerhouses did not have such qualms. It was inevitable that some of them would be tempted by these things in Duan Ling Tian's possession.
