Chapter 1428 - 652: Youth and Old Man

"It’s him!" Emperor Venerable’s voice trembled.

How could a Saint’s existence be born in the Lower Domain?

Excitement! Confusion! But more than anything, shock!

"How is it possible?"

"The Supreme Domain is the Lower Domain; where did he get the Saint Realm Technique?"

Emperor Venerable muttered.

His gaze turned towards the direction of the Eastern Continent, and even he now felt a sense of submission.

The entire Supreme Domain!

Whether ordinary people or Martial Artists, everyone was on their knees, sincerely looking in the same direction.

Though confused, this was truly from the heart.

And at this moment!

Chen Xuan’s consciousness arrived in a void space.

Everywhere shone with colorful lights.

"Here he comes."

An elderly voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Xuan’s expression froze, as he watched a shadow slowly appear—a white-haired old man, whose wrinkled forehead lifted to look at him.

The last sigh.

"Indeed, nine is the ultimate number, the emergence of the Ninth Saint signifies my impending destruction."

His face did not show much sorrow.

But there was some reluctance.

He was the old World Tree.

"Greetings, elder!"

Chen Xuan slightly bowed, feeling the place only upon reaching the Saint Realm.

This is the core of the old World Tree.

"I feel his aura on you, after all these years of slumber, unexpectedly someone has reached the Saint Realm."

"It seems fate is inevitable!"

At his birth, he foresaw his future ending, so after the birth of the Eighth Saint, he forcibly entered slumber.

Only leaving a trace of consciousness to monitor the Heavenly Dao.

He thought that this way, no one would become a Saint Realm, as without his help, it’s as hard as ascending to heaven.

But unexpectedly... a member of the Human Race managed on his own... No, he must have intervened.

"Perhaps I shouldn’t have accepted this Supreme Domain back then."

"Sigh!"

The old man sighed.

Regret?

Of course, never expected his unintentional action of bearing a drifting continent would eventually birth the Ninth Saint.

"Could you please explain more in detail, elder?"

Chen Xuan asked.

The Supreme Domain was the only preserved piece from the Witch Demon battle, turning into today’s Supreme Domain.

But the specifics, no one knows.

Too much time has passed.

The elder from the Spirit Realm seemed to have forgotten as well.

"Sit, after sleeping for so long, having someone to talk to isn’t bad."

With the elder’s voice falling.

Green mountains and rivers appeared, and the two also appeared in a pavilion.

On the stone table, there was even a pot of hot tea, emitting wisps of white mist.

"Spirit Tea!"

"Consider it a celebration for your becoming a Saint Realm."

"Back then, those Eight Saints didn’t have such a treatment."

After sitting, the elder lifted the teapot, pouring out a stream of purple tea, filling a cup before Chen Xuan.

Then poured himself a cup too.

"Huh—"

Slightly blew on it, then drank it all in one go, "It’s been a long time since I felt this taste."

However, Chen Xuan did not move.

Seeing this, the elder smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, it’s safe, you reached the Saint Realm on your own, I didn’t do anything."

"Haha!"

Chen Xuan gave a slightly embarrassed yet courteous smile, then picked up the teacup, but at first, he only took a small sip, instantly a coolness swept over his heart.

"It’s good tea!" he exclaimed, then drank it all.

"Of course, this tea was gained accidentally by me wandering through the Universe; its presence no weaker than mine."

Universe!

Chen Xuan instantly caught these two words and asked, "What exactly is outside?"

According to his understanding, it might be akin to the universe in his previous life.

But it felt somewhat different.

"Boundless Universe, who can really say?"

The elder’s eyes became lost.

"Where do you always fly towards?"

Chen Xuan asked, he could feel the World Tree constantly flying in one direction.

This must serve a purpose.

"Pillar of Creation!!!"

Chen Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly, what kind of place is this?

And now the elder explained, "When I was born, the first sound in my ear was these four words."

"All things have life, it’s said all life is born from the Pillar of Creation."

"But whether it’s true or false, even I don’t know."

"So I have always been searching."

"Only... now I must leave it to him."

The elder felt a sense of loss, all his life, he ultimately didn’t find the answer.

"So what about this Supreme Domain?"

Chen Xuan continued to ask.

"Back then, my body was flying in the Universe, suddenly feeling a supreme aura, I thought I encountered some heavenly Spiritual Object, so I investigated."

"Finally discovered it was a continent, wrapped by multiple supreme forces outside."

"Seeing this continent was extraordinary, I took it in."

"Eventually, it evolved into a Lower Domain, but it actually weighs much more than an Upper Domain."

Chen Xuan nodded, so that’s how it is, where is the space from the Witch Demon battle?

"Here you go!"

The elder’s fingertip showed a Compass, "This came with the continent, if you want to return to that space, it might be useful."

Chen Xuan received the Compass, after a few glances, he tucked it away.

"Did he ask you to help him devour me?"

The elder suddenly asked.

"Yes!"

This point Chen Xuan did not hide, directly admitting.

"Sigh, my race is like this, the young devour the old, the strong consume the weak."

The elder spoke calmly, his emotions unchanged.

But back then, didn’t he also do the same? Even during growth, he didn’t know how many kin he devoured to reach his current level.
