Chapter 372: Chapter 197: Unlocking Talent: Heaven and Earth!

"They’re that rare?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

’Only three in the entire race?’

"Then where do their bodies go after they die?"

"After a Primordial Giant Demon dies, it usually undergoes self-daoization, turning its body into energy that returns to the world. But one Primordial Giant Demon was different. It didn’t die a natural death—it was ambushed and killed at its peak. It then used its last breath to forcibly undergo daoization, but the process was incomplete, leaving thirteen vertebrae undestroyed. These thirteen vertebrae transformed into streaks of light and shot off to different corners of the world, scattering far and wide. It took me a long time to find these two pieces."

Feng Wuji smiled.

"I see."

Chen Xuan was secretly astonished, but another question soon popped into his head. "Their race never has more than three members? Then how do they reproduce? Don’t tell me they can commit incest?"

"That’s not it."

Feng Wuji smiled and said, "The reproduction of Primordial Giant Demons is unlike any other race. They are too powerful—blessed by the heavens, but also envied by them.

"They are blessed because of how they are born—they emerge from miraculous heavenly stones after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for countless years. The moment they appear, they are the darlings of the world. They are envied because they have no reproductive ability. Even if a male and female pair up, they cannot produce offspring. For a new generation to appear, they must wait for the next miraculous heavenly stone to break open. That’s why their population has always remained stable!"

"Born from a stone?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

’Isn’t that just like Sun Wukong?’

’How badass!’

’These are Innate beings!’

The more he learned, the more he could feel the power contained within those thirteen vertebrae.

If he could obtain every single one and perfect them, he couldn’t even begin to imagine how powerful his physical body would become.

"Brother Feng, if that’s the case, are there still any Primordial Giant Demons in the world right now?"

Chu Shanhe asked curiously from the side.

"It’s unclear."

Feng Wuji shook his head gently. "The Dark Continent is vast and endless. No one has ever reached its end. Perhaps a Primordial Giant Demon is hiding somewhere in its deepest, darkest depths."

"No one has ever reached its end..."

Chu Shanhe’s eyes flickered. "Could it be that not even your mysterious master has reached the end?"

"I don’t know."

Feng Wuji shook his head again and sighed. "I haven’t seen my master in over a hundred years! The last time was when you achieved the rank of Outer Saint. My master appeared once then, and I haven’t heard from him since!"

"Could it be that he ran into some trouble in the darkness?"

Chu Shanhe asked with curiosity.

"Perhaps."

Feng Wuji mused for a moment. "The deepest parts of the Dark Continent are vast and bizarre. Master has disappeared for over fifty years before without returning. Maybe this time he’s just gone deeper!"

"I see!"

Chu Shanhe was shaken.

’The realm of the number one on the Heavenly Ranking!’

’It’s just too powerful.’

He had originally thought that after reaching the Dharma Aspect realm, he could do whatever he wanted.

But facing this master and disciple duo, he realized he was as naive as a blank sheet of paper.

Especially the number one on the Heavenly Ranking!

That person was a monster among monsters!

"Chen Xuan, you must also work hard!"

Chu Shanhe smiled, looking at Chen Xuan.

With Chen Xuan’s aptitude, it wasn’t impossible for him to catch up to them in the future.

"I always aim to surpass the strong. No matter how powerful someone is, I have confidence!"

Chen Xuan smiled.

He had a cheat system on his side. If he didn’t even have this much confidence, he might as well be dead.

Feng Wuji and Chu Shanhe looked at Chen Xuan in astonishment once more.

To have such talent and be able to say such things.

Chen Xuan’s future accomplishments would truly be limitless!

"By the way, Elder Feng, that strange fire you mentioned before?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes flickered as he looked at Feng Wuji and asked again.

Feng Wuji gave a slight smile. "Don’t be hasty. The time is not yet right. I haven’t finished the arrangements. Once everything is ready, I will definitely come find you."

’Hasn’t finished the arrangements?’

Chen Xuan felt suspicious.

"Alright, then."

He nodded again.

The group then chatted and laughed, talking freely.

An hour later, Feng Wuji rose to leave with a smile on his face.

After personally seeing him off, Chu Shanhe’s mind was reeling. He went back to find Chen Xuan and said in a low, serious voice, "Chen Xuan, about that strange fire Feng Wuji mentioned before... I have a strong suspicion it’s not in this world."

"You suspect that too?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Yes. Strange fires and strange winds are divine seeds of heaven and earth. Obtaining them is incredibly difficult. To be honest with you, I’ve basically scoured every corner of Great Xia and the Northern Wildlands. The various secret locations... I might not have turned them over a hundred times, but at least a dozen or two is certain. If there were any opportunities to be had, I would have found them long ago. It’s impossible for one to have remained until now."

Chu Shanhe said in a low voice.

He wasn’t exactly a quiet person in his youth.

He was all over the place, snatching resources and treasures.

Never mind that he’d scoured Great Xia and the Northern Wildlands.

How many of the Grotto Heavens had he not rummaged through?

Whose ancestral graves had he, Chu Shanhe, not dug up?

Why were the masters of the Grotto Heaven worlds so wary of Chu Shanhe?

His strength was one reason.

The other was that the guy was just too unpredictable.

No one ever knew what he would do next.

That’s why they were unwilling to offend him.

It was only in recent years that Chu Shanhe had finally started to settle down.

"..."

Chen Xuan looked at Chu Shanhe, speechless.

’Holy crap!’

’So you were this wild in your youth!’

"Then could it be in the Grotto Heaven worlds?"

"That’s not very likely either."

Chu Shanhe shook his head. "I’ve scoured the Grotto Heaven worlds as well. The energy fluctuations of a divine seed of heaven and earth are incredibly strange; they’re hard to contain even with a seal. So, there’s an eighty percent chance it’s not in this world."
