Chapter 1168: Entering the Upper River Zone (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
No wonder Jin Cong was unwilling to fight the other dark beasts. If it was him, he would also be unwilling.
Even dark beasts devoured the Chaos very slowly. If they encountered a Primordial Chaos Realm expert like him who had fused with the Chaos, their devouring speed would be even slower. It would already be very good if they could eat one Chaos every year.
“Jin Cong, if you can enter from the weak point of the Boundary, then the other dark beasts can also enter!” Shen Ping said.
Jin Cong’s voice rumbled. “The weak point of the Boundary doesn’t always exist. I observed for a long time before I found the pattern. Besides, I destroyed the weak point of the Boundary after I entered. It’s impossible for other dark beasts to enter.”
Shen Ping immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Jin Cong eating alone had saved a lot of trouble for the Chaotic Mother Stream. At the very least, no other hidden beasts would come in. However, he had to grow as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Jin Cong grew up and became an emperor beast or a beast king, all the living beings in the Chaos Mother River would suffer. The beast king was very terrifying.
Returning back to his own chaos, his mind and will condensed into a figure, arriving in the primal chaos beyond the river.
Fortunately, he had not fought Jin Cong head-on previously. The other party was relatively strong. Jin Cong had been suppressing his strength because he was worried that it would cause too much of a commotion.
In the Chaos beyond the river, the black beast appeared after sensing Shen Ping’s aura, and growled, “You’re late. You’ve made me wait for a long time!”
Shen Ping snorted. “We dark beasts have eternal life to begin with. This bit of time is nothing. If you want to know how to enter the Chaotic Mother Stream, I can tell you that there’s a person called Jin Cong in the Chaotic Mother Stream. I followed him in, but he doesn’t intend to let you in.”
He used the power of the dark river to simulate his conversation with Jin Cong.
Looking at this lifelike scene, the black beast was enraged. “Damn it, stupid, narrow-minded fellow. The Mother Stream of Chaos is so huge that it’s impossible for it to devour it. In the end, it doesn’t want to tell me. What a bastard. Don’t let me see it outside the river!”
Shen Ping sneered. “Even if you encounter Jin Cong, you won’t be its match. I often devour the energy of the Mother Stream with it and grow extremely quickly. It’ll be ten times stronger than you!”
The black beast was silent for a moment. It knew that what Shen Ping said was the truth.
Shen Ping continued, “I also don’t like this Jin Cong, so I came to discuss with you and see if I can devour it. This way, I can tell you how to enter the Chaotic Mother Stream!”
The black exotic beast did not doubt this at all, because dark beasts would not lie to each other. Since the other party had said that he would tell it, it would definitely do it. “My friend, please allow me to call you that. It’s still very difficult to eat this Jin Cong. If it was outside the river, I could do it, and I could even give you its corpse. However, it’s in the Mother Stream of Chaos. And I can’t enter at all.”
Of course, Shen Ping knew this, so he asked, “Then do you have a way for me to eat it?”
The black beast glanced at Shen Ping. “You’re too weak. There’s only a chance if I keep giving you corpses and letting you grow. In addition, I’ll tell you my experience in fighting all these years!”
“Deal!”
The dark beasts were all straightforward. If this black exotic beast wanted to enter the Mother Stream, it was willing to pay such a price. Other than corpses, Shen Ping also asked for some other things, such as the rare treasures nurtured by the Chaos outside the river.
…
Time passed quietly on such days.
It was very difficult for the Nine Provinces Chaos to continue growing. Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, Yun Tian, and the others at the Primordial Chaos Realm were very relaxed. Almost every once in a while, they would go to other Chaos as guests and chat with those at the Primordial Chaos Realm. They would even go to some new Chaos together to leave behind legacies and nurture living beings.
It was a very happy life.
On the other hand, Shen Ping studied the power of the dark river and the dark beast every day. His progress was relatively fast, especially after receiving the guidance of the black exotic beast. He became more and more familiar with the transportation of the power of the dark river. Moreover, he could use the void space of the dark beast to increase his understanding of the rules of time.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed. During this period of time, they had experienced many large-scale battles of the Chaos, but with the strength of the Nine Provinces Chaos, they were not affected at all.
On this day, Jin Cong contacted him. “I’m going to the Upper River Zone soon. The delicacies I eat there will be even more delicious. However, there are many experts in the Chaotic Mother River in the Upper River Zone. I have to be careful. You too. Don’t expose yourself, or I’ll be implicated.”
“Don’t worry. Take care of yourself.” Shen Ping was not surprised that the Wu Chaos had entered the Upper River Zone faster than him.
Two more years passed. The Palace Master of the Primordial Palace called him over. “Nine Provinces, this is Deacon Zhan from the Upper River Zone. He’s in charge of bringing you into the Upper River Zone this time. Remember, the Upper River Zone is different from our Middle River Zone. When you get there, you must listen to Deacon Zhan’s arrangements!”
“Yes, Palace Master!”
Deacon Zhan laughed. “You must be Nine Provinces. Don’t be nervous. I’ve received many Chaos in Middle River Zone. Let’s go.”
He left the Primordial Palace with Shen Ping and walked forward along the river of time. When the range of a Chaos has reached a certain range, it would automatically enter the Middle River Zone from the Lower River Zone. However, the Upper River Zone was different. There were two ways to enter. One was to become a Chaos that had reached more than 6,000 years. This was very difficult because the Palace Master was blocking them from the front, and the other Chaos would not give this opportunity.
Apart from that, it was to be extradited by a Primordial Chaos expert from the Upper River Zone.
Shen Ping’s situation was exactly the latter.
Deacon Zhan, who was walking in front, used the power of the laws of time to surge into the Nine Provinces Chaos. Immediately after, the Nine Provinces Chaos increased at a visible speed. However, this was only an illusion. It had only reached the level allowed by the supreme laws.
When the range exceeded 6,000 years, the supreme law circulated and enveloped it. Soon, the Nine Provinces Chaos was wrapped in energy and rushed forward. After rolling for countless times, he sensed that the energy of the Mother Stream had increased greatly, and it was difficult for him to open his bright eyes. Even his mind and will were greatly suppressed.
They had arrived at the Upper River Zone!
The Nine Provinces Chaos finally stabilized and stopped at the edge of the long river of time. A huge amount of energy from the Mother River poured into the Nine Provinces Chaos like the sky falling. The origin of all realms instantly soared, and even the origin of the Chaos increased rapidly.
Under such circumstances, the living beings in the Chaos would grow faster to the Dao Ancestor realm. They no longer needed a huge opportunity to comprehend the power of laws. They could comprehend it through the Chaos Mother River and eventually grow to the Primordial Chaos Realm.
This was the Upper River Zone. It was also the most dazzling area of the Chaotic Mother Stream.
Shen Ping stood by the river of time and looked at the Chaos that was emitting a huge light in the distance. This light was as insignificant as a human standing in front of the sun. Deacon Zhan smiled and said, “The huge light you see is the elders of our Primordial Palace. Their Chaotic Dao Years exceed 100,000! Therefore, the light emitted is incomparably dazzling. It can be seen in any area of the Upper River Zone.”
Shen Ping widened his eyes. “100,000 dao years?” This meant that it could normally accommodate 100,000 Dao Ancestors. If there was a great opportunity, it would definitely be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands. Moreover, the number of laws fused was very high!
Deacon Zhan sighed and said, “Such chaos is beyond my reach. After you stay in the Upper River Zone for a while, you’ll get used to it. Now, you should get used to the surrounding environment first. If you have anything you don’t understand, just ask me!”
“Yes, Deacon Zhan!”
After Deacon Zhan left, Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, Yun Tian, and the other Primordial Chaos Realm experts came to the edge of the River of Time. Their eyes flickered with curiosity as they looked at the glowing Chaos around them.
