Chapter 704: Fragments of the World
"Hehe~ My master is the best to me!"
Qin Yiyao smiled foolishly.
Gu Heng saw her innocent smile; it wasn't the first time he'd seen such a naive and carefree smile on the little girl's face.
But he had a feeling that Qin Yiyao was probably not naive at all.
She's well over eighteen, practically a grown woman. If she still harbors those feelings for me in the future, wouldn't that be...?
"Ahem, let's set off now, but don't be late."
Gu Heng coughed twice, kicking his inappropriate thoughts out of his mind. "Then, Master, I'll be going now."
Qin Yiyao took the initiative to hug him and gave him a light kiss on the lips: "Next time I come back, I will definitely make Master think that I have made something of myself."
Gu Heng smiled gently but did not answer.
He had long thought that this silly girl was very promising, and that taking her in was indeed a decision he would never regret.
"Be careful on the road."
"Master, be careful not to twist your back when you're lying in the sun."
Before leaving, Qin Yiyao couldn't resist being a little mischievous.
Gu Heng rolled his eyes, wondering if he hadn't tightened this little girl's skin in a while, because her little mouth had become so loose.
After watching his beloved Bao'er leave home, Gu Heng began to consider where to go next. First of all...
He doesn't plan to go back to the Little Mystic Realm for the time being.
Unless the bounty is lifted, or the ancient immortal who issued the bounty is gone, then we'll talk about it then.
Now, he does have the idea of going to the Demon Realm.
After slacking off at home for so many days, Gu Heng also had plans for the next step. Now that he had obtained such a crucial "tool" from the Desert Python Immortal, he couldn't stop exploring the secrets.
However, there is still one problem: how to get to the Demon Realm.
I learned from Manager Jin Qian that the first step in the invasion of the Demon Realm was to quickly build a large-scale teleportation array that could travel between the two realms to ensure the transport of subsequent troops. This was because the first wave of Demon Realm cultivators must have come by some kind of one-way teleportation method, which was particularly unconventional and uncommon, and could not be used for large-scale teleportation.
So, that single teleportation array is currently his only means of getting to the Demon Realm.
But that teleportation array is definitely under the watchful eyes of a large group of demon cultivators, and is being guarded with utmost vigilance.
Blindly charging in would be suicide, and besides, he doesn't know how to use teleportation arrays. He really needs to think of a way, like being taken prisoner and sent to the Demon Realm...
It's almost identical to the method he used to get to the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm.
"What exactly is this thing?"
As Gu Heng was deep in thought, holding the smooth, cool, milky-white jade in his hand, Xiao Bai sauntered over, carrying a plate of freshly fried peanuts.
"Little White, did you blow this up, or did the little dragon you brought back blow it up?"
Gu Heng looked at the peanuts in the dish.
Lately, he's been teaching Xiaobai how to cook different dishes; otherwise, all he does is chop fruit, which is such a waste of his time. If possible, who wouldn't want to outsource all the housework?
Xiaobai pointed inside.
This doesn't mean it, but rather the other little dragon.
Gu Heng picked one up at random, ate it, and found it was bitter and not crispy. He immediately shook his head: "No, it's overcooked. Make another batch."
Xiao Bai nodded, but his gaze then fell on Gu Heng's hands.
Gu Heng was holding a piece of milky white jade in his hand, the purpose of which he himself did not know what it was.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Bai immediately looked away, shook his head, picked up the plate of unpalatable peanuts, flew back to the back room, and then put the plate down.
At this moment, the sacred ginseng was hanging beside the iron pot with hot oil, anxiously awaiting the reply from its ancestor.
"Master said you overdid it!"
With a flick of its dragon tail, Xiaobai struck Shengshen directly on the head, causing the latter to see stars.
"Forgive me, ancestors, I'll try again..."
Saint Can had nothing to say. As the Dragon Emperor, he was not here to do this kind of work, but since the Ancestor had spoken, he had no choice but to do it.
No matter how difficult it was for him, he couldn't possibly disobey the Ancient Holy Dragon. After all, seniority among dragons was a very important thing, not to mention that he was facing the progenitor of all dragons.
"Alright, you don't need to come."
Little White waved its paw: "Anyway, I don't think you'll be able to learn it anytime soon, so you might as well watch me do it."
Educating the younger generation is indeed not an easy task.
Although Shengshen has been living here for quite some time and Xiaobai has handed over most of the housework to him, there is no doubt that Shengshen still has a lot to learn.
"I will definitely learn humbly!"
Saint Can secretly relaxed, thinking that he could finally be briefly freed from this housework.
"By the way, I have something I'd like to ask our ancestors."
"what's up?"
“I’ve been serving my master pastries and fruit more often lately. Recently, when I occasionally saw him, he was holding a piece of white jade stalactite that looked ordinary but whose power fluctuations were quite unusual…”
"Does our ancestor know what that is?"
Saint Can considered himself to be very knowledgeable.
So when he encounters something he doesn't understand, his long-lost curiosity is rekindled.
His knowledge was certainly not as extensive as that of the Dragon Ancestor.
"That's a fragment of the world, just a small part of its power." Little White didn't even turn his head, watching the newly added peanuts bobbing in the oil.
As if he had caught a key word, the dragon scales on his body stood up. He felt as if he had heard some extraordinary words!
"Uh, this junior doesn't understand. What does 'fragment of the world' mean?"
So he continued to press for answers.
"It's normal that you don't understand. Logically speaking, such things shouldn't be known to living beings."
Xiaobai spoke slowly.
"The white jade stone in the master's hand is a fragment of the Xuan Tian Realm, or more precisely, a fragment of the 'World Origin Embryo'."
"As for what the World Origin Embryo is... I can only tell you that it is the root of the seven great worlds, the original creation that carries the power of the will of Heaven, and it is also the core of the world and the foundation of the world's operation."
Saint Ginseng was completely dumbfounded. However, he quickly realized what kind of earth-shattering news he had just heard: the root of the seven great worlds in the endless void was actually that milky white stone.
But being able to understand it doesn't mean you can digest it so quickly.
Saint Ginseng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had lived a long enough life and possessed the strength of an unparalleled emperor, yet he had never heard of this secret before!
Not only did he not know, he was also certain that the old dragon ancestor of the Holy Dragon Clan certainly didn't know either.
The world they live in actually has a "core".
And the thing Gu Heng was holding in his hand was exactly this thing.
This isn't just outrageous, this is utterly abnormal!!!
