"What do you mean by 'special'?" Zu'an keenly noticed the words in her words.
“It’s unique in every way,” Mi Li said in a deep voice. “Ever since I awakened some memories, I have been secretly observing this world. Logically speaking, given the prosperity of this world, it should have been contacted by other civilizations long ago. But when I look at their history, it seems that they were only invaded by those demons a few thousand years ago and recently. Apart from that, they have never come into contact with other civilizations. It’s as if they have been shielded from the entire universe by some existence.”
"Besides, there's also a problem with the power ceiling in this world. I've seen many incredibly talented geniuses whose strength shouldn't be limited to this level, yet everyone's cultivation level is much lower than that of geniuses of the same level in other worlds."
Zuan's heart stirred. Even someone as brilliant as Zhao Hao had been stuck at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm for many years, unable to make any progress.
The same applies to myself; given the power I've absorbed from those powerful beings these past few days, I should have broken through long ago.
"It seems that the origin of this world is not strong enough?"
“That’s the problem. Logically speaking, the origin of such a world shouldn’t be so weak.” Mi Li frowned. “Your world seems to have secret realms everywhere, and those secret realms are connected to some special places. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like something a weak world should have.”
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Speaking of which, I also met you in a secret realm of this world."
Thinking back to their first meeting, Mi Li blushed slightly, and quickly changed the subject: "So there must be some secret hidden in this world. By the way, I remember you once said that you wanted to collect the secret manuals of 12 unknown places?"
Zuan nodded: "That's right, each of them went through a near-death experience. It's a pity that there's no relevant information about the remaining few unknown places. I don't know where to look."
"Now that you are the regent of both the human and demon races, you have access to resources far exceeding those of Zhao Hao or the Demon Emperor back then. You can investigate thoroughly to see if you can find any clues," Mi Li said. "If you gather all 12 unknown places, you will surely be able to unlock the secrets of this world, and you will definitely reap immense rewards."
Zuan shook his head: "Compared to those ethereal and unknowable places, I want to save Chu Yan and Hong Lei's lives more now."
Seeing his burning gaze, Mi Li hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Chu Yan's current condition probably requires finding another fragment of the Creation Jade Disc. As for Hong Lei, I have just thought of some ways to save her."
"What method?" Zuan excitedly grabbed her hand.
Mi Li glanced at his hand before continuing, "There are more than a dozen immortal herbs in the universe, each with the power to bring the dead back to life. However, almost every immortal herb is guarded by an unparalleled expert, making it harder than ascending to heaven to obtain one."
"An elixir of immortality?" Zuan frowned. "I remember hearing a legend about an elixir of immortality in the secret realm. Back then, an honest and kind god was killed by another god named Wei. The Heavenly Emperor gave him an elixir of immortality to save him. As a result, although he was resurrected, he turned into a monster called Yayu."
He didn't want Hong Lei to turn into that form too!
