Chapter 361 The Chaotic Body
Chapter 361 The Chaotic Body
Just as Zhu Chongjiu was about to answer Murong Yu's question again, Xiao Jin, who had already stood up, immediately stopped him, saying:
"Ninth Brother, since you call me the Storytelling King, then I'll answer the question from the two older sisters!"
After saying that, Xiao Jin smiled at Murong Yu and Empress Huang Ting and said, "Sisters, you know this."
In order to provide Yanhuang Tianxia with a sufficiently safe opportunity to rob, the six of us even fled in the opposite direction from Yanhuang Tianxia, avoiding you.
Do you know how long it would take for Xiao Hei to travel from one end of the universe to the other, even at full speed in his prime?
This is still the straight-line distance.
It's important to know that the Proterozoic Eon was a circle.
If we travel from one end of the Proterozoic Eon to the other from within the cosmic clouds outside the Proterozoic Eon, how much longer is the distance compared to a straight line?
At that time, Xiong Da was seriously injured, Jiu Ge was unconscious, and all seven of us were sacrificed, leaving only Hei Ge as the only good person.
Do you know what we were in back then?
When they saw us and Ninth Brother, they were all lively and energetic. You all came one by one to question this and that. Don't you feel heartbroken?
"And what's this about loving Ninth Brother's woman the most? I think Blackie was right not to take Ninth Brother back to Yanhuang Tianxia immediately."
Seeing the guilty expressions on the faces of those below, especially Murong Yu and Empress Huang Ting, Xiao Jin secretly transmitted his voice to Zhu Chongjiu, asking, "How is it?"
"Awesome!" Zhu Chongjiu gave the most authoritative answer.
"Alright. You don't need to feel guilty about your heartlessness anymore."
Xiao Jin continued, "Our sacrifice of the seven of us was not only to save Ninth Brother, but also to reforge the World Core for him."
More than 10,000 years after the sacrifice, Ninth Brother finally awoke.
After Ninth Brother woke up, he was devastated when he learned what the seven of us had done for him.
Upon learning that all seven of us retained a trace of our original spiritual essence, Ninth Brother placed our original spiritual essence back into the World Core.
Having survived a near-death experience, Ninth Brother started anew from the spirit, using his Myriad Laws Dao to nurture the World Core anew. He then used the power of the World Core to nurture the seven of us, and we, the seven of us, used our own sources of law to nurture the World Core.
Through this infinite unrelated process, it took Ninth Brother over 30,000 years to finally regain his previous peak strength.
Fifty thousand years have passed. After Ninth Brother regained his full strength, he led us back towards the world of Yanhuang.
Of course, this is how Xiao Jin recounted the entire story, making sure each part was logically connected.
Because of Zhu Chongjiu, they kept stopping and starting to comprehend the Dao within the universe, which wasted time, but Xiao Jin didn't mention it.
After this matter is settled, it will be Xiao Jin's time to shine.
It took Xiao Jin five whole days to trap them in an encirclement. How to break through the pursuit of the Immortal Venerable's avatar?
How to fight against a thousand immortals.
How did Zhu Chongjiu single-handedly fight against the four avatars of the Immortal Clan?
Finally, how to face the true form of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable?
How could one then find it so difficult to navigate the Daoist realm under the tutelage of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable?
After Zhu Chongjiu's sword broke, how he and Xiao Huo sacrificed themselves to catch the sword for Zhu Chongjiu.
Finally, after the Great Sword transformed into a Chaos Divine Weapon, how did Zhu Chongjiu then sever the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, accumulated over billions of years, with a single strike?
Wait, wait, wait...!
Xiao Jin's emotions fluctuated wildly, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes passionate, sometimes sorrowful, moving everyone to tears.
Countless years after Xiao Jin finished telling the story, some people, when recalling it, would still murmur with tears in their eyes, "Throughout the eons of the Primordial Era, there were only Ninth Brother and his group!"
On the sixth day after Zhu Chongjiu and his entourage returned, a grand proclamation resounded throughout the entire Yanhuang realm.
"The leader of the Ancient God Alliance, 'Ninth Brother,' led the nine guardians of the Ancient God Alliance: the Black God, the Bear God, the Gold God, the Wood God, the Water God, the Fire God, the Earth God, the Thunder God, and the Wind God, along with an army of 100,000 Ancient God Alliance generals."
They penetrated deep into the heart of the Immortal Clan, killing countless Immortals and destroying tens of thousands of Immortal Venerable's avatars.
Alliance Leader Ninth Brother single-handedly defeated all four giants of the Immortal Clan.
With a single sword strike, he severed the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, which had accumulated billions of years of cultivation.
Despite being severely injured but not dead, the seven guardians sacrificed themselves to catch the sword and prolong the life of the alliance leader, Ninth Brother!
Now, the Alliance Leader, Ninth Brother, and his nine protectors have returned in triumph.
Thus, the entire nation of Yan and Huang celebrated for three days!
At this moment, the entire world of Yanhuang cheered and shouted with joy!
They shouted that their leader, Ninth Brother, was invincible, and that the nine guardians were mighty.
A month later, the second meeting was held after Zhu Chongjiu returned.
Alliance Leader, now that you've returned, what's next?
The strength of our Yanhuang world is now vastly different from what it used to be.
There are hundreds of Venerable-level experts and nearly ten thousand Emperor-level experts.
When the army reached its peak, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire population was mobilized for war.
"Shouldn't we go and take revenge on those beasts of the immortal race?" Empress Huang Ting spoke first.
"I believe our people are all capable of taking on several opponents at once."
Even the ordinary immortals of the immortal race were not afraid.
But those few giants of the immortal race are not so simple.
I have fought against the Celestial Venerable of the Nine Heavens.
At this point, Zhu Chongjiu chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued, "It's called a battle, but it's really just one-sided crushing."
With my strength at that time, if the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable really wanted to kill me, it would only take the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jin and Xiao Huo sacrificed themselves at the last moment to reforge my Great Sword into a Chaos Divine Weapon, I wouldn't have been able to touch a single hair on their head.
Even though I severed his billions of years of cultivation over nine days with a single sword strike, I am still on the verge of death.
"If it weren't for the other powerful figures of the Immortal Clan watching me like hawks, I don't know if I'd live or die, but the newly forged Chaos Divine Weapon Great Sword would definitely have been taken by them."
"According to the Alliance Leader, there are four other immortals on the Immortal Clan who are on par with the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable. What should we do then?"
"Are we really doomed to never see the light of day?" the Emperor said dejectedly.
"Senior Emperor, please don't be discouraged."
This brush with death made me realize the threshold of the Venerable level.
After that, I went into seclusion to try and reach the Venerable level.
I am confident that once I reach the Venerable level, those powerful figures of the Immortal Clan will be no threat to me.
Upon hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, everyone below showed expressions of excitement.
They had always wanted to fight the immortals and were not afraid of death, but what they feared was dying in a meaningless and pointless way.
With the leader's words, they finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel after enduring millions of years of oppression from the immortal race.
Zhu Chongjiu's confidence stemmed from his battle with the four Immortal Venerables.
He believed that if it was simply a contest of Taoist magic, he was not afraid of anyone.
But don't forget, Taoist magic also needs spiritual energy to support it.
This is similar to a missile.
Although your missiles are faster and more accurate than your opponent's, their power is not as great.
Even if it takes someone one round to hit you, you've already hit them ten times, but they only lose half their health bar in ten rounds, while they KO you in one round.
Xiao Jin interrupted Zhu Chongjiu's deep thoughts and asked, "Brother Jiu, there's a question we've been wanting to ask, but we haven't had the nerve to."
But seeing that you're about to break through to the Venerable level, then I have no choice but to ask…!
"You're asking why I'm not advancing as fast as before, even though I've already broken through to the Venerable level?"
As if he could see through the thoughts of the little ones, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "Before, you all had a wisp of your origin connected to me."
Therefore, as I advance, through that wisp of origin, you will also advance with me.
In other words, your rank has always been equal to mine.
But things have changed since you offered sacrifices for me.
Although I have more source energy left in me this time, and the connection between us is closer, why has my strength become slower?
This is because of the primordial divine object.
"A chaotic divine object?" the little ones muttered to themselves in confusion.
"It's nothing much, it's a Chaos Divine Object," Zhu Chongjiu continued to explain.
Previously, although you devoured the Chaos Gods, that was only within the Chaos Gods, when the laws of the Dao were just beginning to unfold.
The true form of the Chaos God remains outside, and has not been merged with by you.
Otherwise, how could your chaotic divine objects have remained within your bodies for so long?
But now, look inside your own bodies, do you still see the primordial chaos within you?
"Oh, it's really gone, could it be...!" The little ones seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, you're right."
Your collective sacrifice to save me this time can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Originally, it was only the four of you, Xiao Jin, who possessed the Chaos Divine Artifact.
But having heard of your sacrifices, which all merged into my legacy, I then gave back to all of you.
This is equivalent to the seven of you transforming from ordinary Law Spirits into Chaos Law Spirits.
That is, the chaotic body.
Not only Xiao Rou, Xiao Huo, Xiao Mu, and Xiao Feng, but even I benefited from the influence of the three of you and became a Chaos Body.
The Chaos Body requires an enormous amount of energy, so I am currently unable to give you much energy in return.
However, these problems will be easily solved when I reach the Venerable level.
Just as Zhu Chongjiu was explaining this to the children, Xiao Rou got up and asked another question.
"Ninth Brother, now that we are both spirits of the Chaos Law, I would like to ask a question."
Elemental spirits like us, even if formed naturally, only need tens of thousands of years to develop sentience.
If there are strong mentors to train them, the time will be even shorter.
But just like the chaotic divine objects we possess, they all existed when the Great Dao was first created.
It's more than hundreds of billions of years.
Why haven't we heard of any truly primordial divine beings cultivating sentience?
