"Aren't you going in?" Xiao Ta asked curiously, looking at Cao Ya's calm expression.

“I already have enough. Any more would only distract me and lead me astray,” Cao Ya said, shaking his head. He decided not to wait any longer and then joined Liu Shen, Xiao Ta, Kun Pengzi, and the others to enter the Ancient Treasure Realm to explore the great secrets left behind in ancient times.

Because he knew that trying to do too much at once would lead to failure, Cao Ya was well aware that his aptitude and comprehension were at best excellent, but could never be considered top-notch.

It is only through the combined efforts of many individuals that we have achieved our current strength.

Besides, which of these techniques, such as the Thunder Spirit Treasure Technique, the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, the Grass Character Sword Technique, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique, isn't renowned throughout the ages?

"Is that so? Hmm, very well. The methods you possess are indeed enough to study for a lifetime." Kunpengzi nodded. In this vast world, countless beings cultivate different methods, experience different things, and their choices are bound to be different.

For example, he, Xiaota, Liu Shen, and Shi Hao, although they all want to enter the Primordial Treasure Realm, once they enter that place, their goals are mostly different.

“It is very difficult to recognize one’s true nature,” said Liu Shen. “Actually, I didn’t originally plan to enter the Primordial Treasure Realm. However, that gate may have appeared deep within the Primordial Treasure Realm. So, I want to go in and take a look.”

"What?! That portal that was born in the chaos before the creation of the world?" the little tower exclaimed.

"It's within this ancient treasure realm?" Kunpengzi asked in shock.

"Liu Shen, are you really going to take this risk?" Cao Ya asked, then paused before continuing, "I think you don't need to rush. There's actually enough time."

Although Liu Shen was unharmed in the original work, and with her strength she had many trump cards to venture into dangerous places, she was still on the path of Nirvana and rebirth. If something went wrong, wouldn't her millions of years of hard work be wasted and she have to start all over again?

“Since ancient times, every living being that has entered that portal has vanished, never to be seen again, and only blood has flowed out,” the little tower cried out.

Kunpengzi also showed surprise, his expression shifting between light and dark.

"After the Primordial Treasure Realm opens, I'll go take a look first, and then we'll see what it's like," said Liu Shen.

"What kind of portal is that?" Shi Hao asked hastily, feeling like he had just embarked on the path of cultivation, knowing nothing and needing to ask everything.

"Born before heaven and earth, born in chaos, it has only appeared a handful of times since ancient times. Each appearance has triggered great turmoil, causing blood and rain to fall between heaven and earth." The little tower sighed, quite conflicted. He too was hesitant about whether or not to enter that portal.

“I don’t plan to go in.” Kunpengzi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, “Whether the Primordial Gate appears in the Upper Realm or manifests in a small world, it is hidden deep in the Chaos. Therefore, I will not try to break through the Primordial Gate. I will only enter the Chaos World to absorb the primordial energy I need, and then go to the Upper Realm and cause a great upheaval.”

As he spoke, Kunpengzi let out a cold laugh, his murderous aura palpable.

Many powerful beings from the upper realm joined forces millions of years ago to suppress him for such a long time. Now that he has been freed, how can he not avenge such a great grudge?

"I'm in the same boat as you, Willow God. Let's go inside and take a look before making a decision." Little Tower sighed, still finding it hard to make up her mind without seeing the Primal Gate with her own eyes.

"Is it really that dangerous? Is it absolutely necessary to go?" Shi Hao asked. The attitude of the others made him realize that the portal called "Primitive" was probably an extremely dangerous place, a forbidden zone for life.

He believed that if the Primordial Treasure Realm was really as the little tower said, it didn't really matter whether or not one entered the Primordial Gate. If one could obtain one or two of the great treasures in the Primordial Treasure Realm and refine them, it would be a great harvest, and one should be happy. Why risk one's life?

“So, everyone’s choices are different,” Kunpengzi sighed.

“When you reach the level we have today… Shi Hao, you will understand,” the little tower said.

Shi Hao stopped talking. Once Liu Shen and Xiao Ta made up their minds, they were determined not to waver.

Not to mention Liu Shen and Xiao Ta, even Shi Hao himself is no different.

"Cao Ya, how do you plan to get to the Upper Realm?" Kunpengzi asked.

"Let's go into the no-man's-land and get some experience. A Heavenly God Realm cultivation level is a bit weak in the Upper Realm," Cao Ya said.

"Damn it, a Celestial God Realm cultivator can already possess the combat power of a Self-Slaying Realm cultivator, and you still say he's weak?" Little Tower said irritably.

“But even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Realm of Severing Myself is not the very pinnacle,” Cao Ya sighed. “Above the Realm of Severing Myself is the Realm of Escape, then the Supreme Realm, and above the Supreme Realm is the True Immortal.”

“You are still young, there is no need to rush,” said Liu Shen. Because of their nearly 100-year friendship, Liu Shen was destined to pay close attention to Cao Ya, just as she had been nurturing Shi Hao. The “Original True Explanation” that Shi Hao was cultivating was a gift from Liu Shen.

Of course, that was only the first part; the middle and second parts were still missing. However, according to Shi Hao, he had already obtained the middle part of the "Original True Explanation" by chance.

“You should have noticed that my power is very special. This is also due to a unique opportunity. Due to the restrictions of the laws of Heaven, I cannot promote it. However, from my own perspective, with so many complex powers, there are sometimes internal losses, which can cause my strength to decline to some extent. I must find a way to integrate and unify these many powers,” Cao Ya said softly.

He once tried to teach Shi Hao some methods that did not belong to the Great Universe of [Perfect World], but the Heavenly Dao warned that if he dared to do so, he would probably suffer divine punishment immediately and die on the spot.

Having only severed my power, how dare I defy the Great Universe and the Heavenly Dao?

Six-star powerhouses like Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings can only contend with the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or other realms. If it were the Heavenly Dao of the Perfect World universe, which encompasses the boundless sea and countless cosmic planes, let alone Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings, even a peak six-star Quasi-Immortal Emperor would likely be unable to withstand it and would perish.

Only a seven-star Immortal Emperor can grasp the flawless Heavenly Dao of the seven-star Great Universe.

Just like the Great Universe of "Peerless One", the Heavenly Dao of the Real World is nothing more than a toy for a seven-star otherworldly boss.

In the end, Cao Ya left, and Shi Hao returned to the Xuan Domain, taking his parents with him back to the Shi Kingdom, where he had to handle various affairs.

However, Qin Hao did not return to the Stone Kingdom with him and stayed in the Immortal Mountain. This was because Qin Hao always aimed to defeat Shi Hao, so going back to the Stone Kingdom with him was something Qin Hao was unwilling to accept.

Willow God, Little Pagoda, and Kunpengzi lingered outside the realm, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the brilliance of the stars, while quietly waiting for the opportunity to open the Primordial Treasure Realm.

Willow God and Little Pagoda plan to delve into the Primordial Treasure Realm and then enter the Primordial Gate, while Kunpengzi aims to absorb various energies to restore himself to his peak state millions of years ago, and then go to the Upper Realm to seek revenge.

Unlike the other three, Cao Ya left the Xuan Domain directly after completing his mission of purging the lower realm, attacking the powerful figures in the upper realm, and establishing his authority over the three thousand Dao states of the upper realm.

After returning to the desolate region, he stayed in the wilderness for two days to recuperate and restore his strength. Without hesitation, he entered the no-man's land.

"Go back now, Shi Hao. I look forward to meeting you in the Upper Realm." Cao Ya waved his hand, and his figure disappeared into a peaceful and beautiful world.

"Take care on your journey, my friend. We shall meet again in the Upper Realm." Shi Hao came to see him off.

Seeing Cao Ya leave, he also felt an urge to ascend to the Heavenly Path and go to the Upper Realm. In this Lower Realm, after cultivating to the Venerable Realm, he could feel many limitations. He thought that in the Upper Realm, there would be no such limitations.

After all, the lower realms are like cages, and those powerful figures must have backup plans.
