Chapter 785 - 129: The Requirements of the Chaos Primordial Embryo

Shen Fei’s gaze shifted from the star map of South Pole Heaven, turning to Feng Yi: "Elder Feng Yi, is there any inventory of the Chaos Primordial Embryo in the Human Emperor Palace? I need more."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi’s fingers tapping on the cloud bed paused slightly.

He sighed softly, and with a wave of his hand, the flowing star map in the hall faded away, replaced by two peculiar light sphere images suspended between the two of them, radiating a hazy chaotic qi flow.

These light sphere images were not tangible, yet they exuded a palpably intense aura.

They seemed like the solidified Chaos Essence from the universe’s inception, with countless Great Dao runes inside, ebbing and flowing like stars, containing the primordial power to create all things and open the heavens.

Shen Fei was naturally familiar with them, having used four already.

"Chaos Primordial Embryo..." Feng Yi’s voice carried on, "This item is condensed from the Chaos Origin Essence when the heavens and earth first opened, containing the original fragments of the Great Dao of Creation.

Its value is immeasurable. Using it, one can transform a top-level cave heaven, giving it the potential to advance to the Taiyi Level;

You can refine it into a Taiyi Treasure, like the many life-bound treasures of Taiyi are nearly all centered on it;

It can also provide those at the Golden Immortal Peak an opportunity to touch the Chaos Origin and glimpse higher realms."

"Even for Golden Immortals, and up to Taiyi, it is extremely important."

His gaze fell on Shen Fei, filled with honesty: "Shen Fei, I know you desire this item to break through your bottleneck, and I understand. But the Human Emperor Palace has only these two in inventory left."

Feng Yi pointed to the chaotic light sphere image, "And it’s not a regular inventory; even its mere existence allows those at the Golden Immortal Peak to comprehend the Taiyi Dao. I can’t give this to you."

Shen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly, was the Chaos Primordial Embryo truly so precious?

The Human Emperor Palace with all its vast resources had only two left?

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

Feng Yi seemingly noticed Shen Fei’s doubt and supplemented, "Do you know how Yuqing Dao Lineage managed to pull out those four Chaos Primordial Embryos for compensation last time?"

His tone carried a hint of coldness.

"That was nearly emptying their bottom-line inventories by the Yuqing Three Veins and their reclusive old monsters combined!

The rarity of this item is evident."

Feng Yi continued, "And that’s because Ji Yang and I went to Guangcheng Dao Lineage, otherwise they might not have even thought to bring them out."

He added with a sigh, "Besides, Yuqing Dao Lineage, being from the Ancestral Court Period, even after the turmoil, its profound foundation can’t be compared to the Human Emperor Palace."

"Initially, we had not stepped into the Taiyi Realm, and not having many means to gather this treasure was one reason as well."

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Shen Fei’s fingertips unconsciously tapped on his knee, with the image of the Chaos Primordial Embryo reflecting in his eyes.

Forcefully taking the last two strategic reserves from the Human Emperor Palace was unnecessary for him.

The Human Emperor Palace wouldn’t empty everything to aid him, and it wasn’t the only option either.

While Shen Fei pondered, Feng Yi’s voice rang out again: "However... Heaven always leaves a path. Though the Human Emperor Palace’s inventory is exhausted, there is still one place in the world known to ’stably’ produce the Chaos Primordial Embryo."

Shen Fei: "Where?"

"Chaos Secret Realm!" Feng Yi said each word slowly.

He raised his hand, and once again the scene within the hall changed.

This time, instead of a star map, it was a bizarre spectacle beyond conventional understanding: distorted, shattered spaces like an overturned palette, where earth, water, fire, and wind intertwined, collided, annihilated, and were reborn in their primal forms.

Enormous, cloud-like chaotic storms raged within, and at the core of the storm, there seemed to be the embryo-like glow of a terrifying being flickering.

Laws here were fragmented and chaotic, with blurred concepts of time and space, and an ordinary Golden Immortal’s divine thought would likely be shredded and assimilated upon entering.

"This Secret Realm was not artificially opened but formed from a ’fragment’ maintaining a primordial chaotic state since the Dao Realm’s birth!"

Feng Yi’s voice held a touch of awe, "It drifts outside all heavens and myriads of worlds, clinging to the gaps in the Dao Realm Origin Laws, with its entrance location ever-shifting and its appearance time utterly random.

But according to ancient records and the combined calculations of several Dao Lineages, the next relatively stable opening is in -- twenty years!"

Feng Yi’s tone became incredibly grave: "The Chaos Secret Realm, a land of opportunity, is also a realm of deadly peril!

The chaotic origin storms, chaotic law stream, and various bizarre fierce creatures born from chaos are enough to easily tear apart the body of a Golden Immortal! Even at the Taiyi Realm, delving into the core poses a risk of falling!

Nine deaths and one life is no exaggeration!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Shen Fei, continuing: "More perilous than that, are ’humans!’ Every opening of the Chaos Secret Realm is a time when many Dao Lineages display their means!"

"Quota?" Shen Fei captured the key point; this secret realm surprisingly had quotas?

"Exactly!" Feng Yi nodded, "The entrance of the Chaos Secret Realm has limited tolerability, and is constrained by the Dao Realm Origin Laws. Each opening has a fixed number of safe entry slots!

These slots require at least Taiyi-level Dao Lineage to vie for, and the contention is at the Golden Immortal level."

"Twenty years." Shen Fei softly repeated this timeframe.

"Previously, our Human Emperor Palace had no Taiyi, but now with Ji Yang and I stepping into Taiyi, we are qualified to plan this matter, even with a guaranteed slot.

But at the very least, you’ll need the power to slay Golden Immortals by then; otherwise, entering is tantamount to suicide."

Feng Yi advised.

"The essence of the Chaos Primordial Embryo is still a treasure for Golden Immortals to ascend to Taiyi. For now, you can try to seek similar items to the Ten Thousand Devouring Dark Moon."

"The affair with the Yuqing surrounding kill was, after all, due to their excessive aggressiveness; such things are rare opportunities."

Feng Yi’s demeanor was stern, "The period of twenty years will pass in the blink of an eye. More detailed intelligence related to the Secret Realm, extrapolation maps of potential entrance locations, and records of past contentions will be organized by my order and delivered to your grotto heaven shortly."

"In that case, I shall take my leave first."

"I shall also attempt to see if something can be exchanged from the Gouchen Palace."

Shen Fei understood; before, it was partly due to the Human Emperor Palace not having Taiyi, without Taiyi, they couldn’t plan this matter, and thus didn’t have much of this item.

While the Yuqing Dao Lineage has a deep foundation, so much time has passed, and although the item is precious, accumulation over time is possible.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Hearing that Feng Yi intended to help him seek exchanges from the Gouchen Palace, Shen Fei felt gratitude.

"Alright, go prepare then." Feng Yi said.

"Okay!"

Shen Fei’s figure had already vanished within the Xi Huang Hall.
