What I teach you is real stuff.

In fact, it wasn't just the powerful beings from beyond the realm who chased down the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect back then who didn't believe it; even the Quasi-Saint Uja of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, who was standing with him on this Chaotic Ocean Sea today, didn't believe it.

After all, the Chaos Sea is one of the three forbidden lands outside the realm. No one has ever come out of it alive before. There has never been a precedent for it among the native cultivators of the realm. Even the Quasi-Saints were all wiped out inside.

Now, to make him believe that a person from the immortal realm who came from outside, whose cultivation level was only an ordinary Golden Immortal back then, could actually come out alive from the Chaos Sea, one of the three forbidden lands, and not only did he come out alive, but he also brought things out of it, who would dare to believe that?

This dog's luck is simply unbelievable.

However, faced with the facts, Uga had no choice but to believe them.

Ujah asked, "Are you sure you want to enter this Chaos Sea? Maybe last time it was just luck, but this time you might not be so lucky."

Lu Yuan also remained silent, glancing at the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect beside him, who also remained silent.

To be honest, he still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it now. After all, last time, he didn't know that this place was one of the three legendary forbidden lands outside the realm. He was really incredibly lucky to have come out of there alive last time.

The chances of him coming out alive if he went in again this time were too slim, so the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect immediately backed down.

One can be lucky for a while, but not forever. Besides, there's absolutely no need for them to risk their lives by entering the perilous place just for a few stone shield fragments.

Moreover, no one knows if there are any other stone shield fragments in this chaotic sea. It's all a gamble, and it's not worth it if you actually perish inside.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect said, "Senior Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yuan was aware of the risks involved. Although the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect had come out alive last time, he might not be so lucky this time. He couldn't force anyone to go in with him and take the risk.

Moreover, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was not wrong to worry. Last time he entered the Chaos Sea, he was able to get a stone shield fragment by chance, but this time he might not be able to get other stone shield fragments.

No one knows how big the Chaos Sea is. Searching for something in such a vast ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack; the risks and rewards are disproportionate.

But at that moment, the crisp system notification sounded in Lu Yuan's ears again.

"Host has been detected to have arrived at the Chaos Sea, one of the three forbidden lands outside the domain. Fragments of the Chaos Stone Shield have been detected within the Chaos Sea. The host is to enter the Chaos Sea to obtain the Chaos Stone Shield fragments. Completing the task will reward the host with the [Primordial Tree Seed], [Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons], and [Primordial Purple Qi]."

The system issued a task, and Lu Yuan had actually wanted to quit, but at this crucial moment, the system task was just issued.

This suddenly put Lu Yuan at a crossroads of choices.

Faced with this chaotic sea, should we go in or not?
Both the stone shield fragments in the Chaos Sea and the system's rewards were incredibly tempting to Lu Yuan. The system's rewards this time were exceptionally generous, especially since Lu Yuan also noticed the presence of Primordial Purple Qi among them.

What is Primordial Purple Qi? This thing is the foundation for becoming a saint in the Immortal Realm.

According to Hongjun's words back then, the positions of saints in the immortal realm are determined by heaven, and this Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for becoming a saint. Any saint who wants to become a saint needs to absorb this Primordial Purple Qi to sense the heavenly way.

Hongjun bestowed seven primordial purple energies, which were given to the Six Sages and Hongyun respectively.

Later, when the Six Sages returned to their positions, Hongyun was intercepted and killed by the Three Demons of the Primordial World. The wisp of Primordial Purple Qi belonging to Hongyun dissipated in the Primordial World and its whereabouts became unknown.

There is no longer a foundation for sainthood in this celestial realm, nor will there be any new saints.

The Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for becoming a saint. Countless quasi-saints dream of obtaining this. Now that the system is right in front of him, he can get it easily by completing this task. Naturally, Lu Yuan also wants it.

Although he may not need this thing to pave his path to sainthood, it would be good to have it and study it.

Lu Yuan was now in a complete dilemma. He wanted to leave, but realized that he would lose too much if he did.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. Should he... take a gamble?
Although the Chaos Sea is known as a forbidden zone, since the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was able to come out alive, it means there are precedents of people coming out alive. So why not give it a try?

However, Lu Yuan had other methods before that.

He said, "I'll send a puppet from the Heavenly Demon City down to scout ahead. If we can control the puppet, we won't have to risk our lives."

Lu Yuan had crafted a bunch of Heavenly Demon City puppets. If these puppets could be used to scout ahead in this perilous place, it would be much safer. After all, even if the loss was great, it was only one puppet, which was still acceptable.

But as soon as Lu Yuan voiced his idea, it was immediately rejected by Uja. Uja said, "It's useless. So many powerful beings from beyond the realms throughout history have already tested every method you can think of. Of course, people have already tried using puppets to enter the forbidden zone. Even the old ancestor of the Heavenly Demon City couldn't do anything about it back then."

Even if Lu Yuan's Heavenly Demon City puppet is the best, can it be better than the puppet that the Heavenly Demon City clan's ancestor personally brought and nurtured for many years?
Even the puppets brought by the old ancestor of the Heavenly Demon City disappeared without a trace after entering the forbidden area, and from then on, this path was completely blocked.

Although Uja said that, Lu Yuan still didn't believe it because he hadn't tried it himself.

He believes everything should be based on facts, and he still intends to give it a try.

Immediately, Lu Yuan took out a puppet that looked very much like Chen Nanxuan. Under Lu Yuan's command, the puppet was thrown directly into the Chaos Sea.

As the puppet plunged into the sea of ​​chaos, Lu Yuan began to share his perspective with it.

From the puppet's perspective, the sea of ​​chaos was a dark and chaotic expanse, making it impossible to discern directions or even up, down, left, or right.

After a dizzying sensation, Lu Yuan seemed to see billions of stars swimming around him, and then he saw huge ancient corpses floating up and down.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to control the puppet to do something, he seemed to sense something 'swimming' in the sea of ​​chaos.

With a turn of its head, a gaping maw opened and swallowed 'Lu Yuan' whole.

Lu Yuan's spirits jolted, and he woke up, forcibly severing himself from the puppet as if his soul had been torn apart.

He quickly realized what was happening, and a chill ran down his spine. He said, "What terrifying pressure!"

Uja Quasi-Saint and the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "How is it? Have you found anything?"

Lu Yuan told them what had just happened.

As it turned out, using puppets to enter the Chaos Sea was indeed a feasible method, but the problem was that the Chaos Sea was far too dangerous. His puppet was swallowed whole by an unknown creature just seconds after entering the Chaos Sea, without even time to react, let alone have a chance to fight back.

Moreover, after his puppet was swallowed, it immediately severed its connection with him, and he could not contact it again, as if there was a way to sever the connection.

This chaotic sea is indeed incredibly strange.

The Quasi-Saint Ujah asked, "What do you think? I think we should avoid getting involved and withdraw?"

Lu Yuan said, "No, the more dangerous the place, the more curious I am. The more he tries to stop me from going in, the more it means there are good things inside, so I'm determined to go and see." Most people would probably back down if they encountered something so strange, terrifying, and unknown.

But Lu Yuan is the opposite; he likes to challenge the unknown, and based on his previous experience, the unknown is often not as scary as he imagined.

Just like the mysterious blood-red behemoth at the bottom of the blood lake that he encountered when he first came to the outer realm, Lu Yuan initially felt that the opponent was invincible when he fought with it.

After all, he couldn't kill the other party back then. Although the other party had no brains, his physical body was extremely strong and he could resurrect infinitely, which once drove Lu Yuan to despair.

But after they learned how to control the creatures, the Blood Lake creatures became commonplace and lost their mystery.

All things in the universe are interconnected and mutually restraining, and Lu Yuan refused to believe that these mysterious creatures of the Chaos Sea had no flaws.

Most importantly, in the last second before his puppet was swallowed, Lu Yuan saw many things, and those things made him even more reluctant to leave.

Uja Quasi-Saint and the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect looked at Lu Yuan, speechless for a moment, unsure how to persuade him.

Because in their eyes, Lu Yuan's behavior was suicidal.

The Chaos Sea is so dangerous. Although the Heavenly Demon City puppet he just released into it was only at the Golden Immortal level, it was still quite powerful. It had been cultivated for many years. However, even a puppet at the Golden Immortal level did not survive for long in the Chaos Sea. It was destroyed in just a few seconds.

Such a terrifying thing exists in the sea, and Lu Yuan actually wants to go in? Isn't that courting death?
Ujah Quasi-Saint kindly advised him, after all, their Heavenly Demon Luo Clan truly cherished talent, and Lu Yuan was too important to the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan. Ujah had come with him this time to protect his safety.

If Lu Yuan really dies in this chaotic sea, he won't be able to explain it when he gets back.

Therefore, Uja Quasi-Saint strongly advised Lu Yuan against entering it.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was also anxious, because he was hoping that Lu Yuan would return to the Immortal Realm to stand up for their sect and help them take off.

So why is Lu Yuan now obsessed with studying this Chaos Sea in this extraterrestrial realm?
The two men tried their best to dissuade him, acting as if they were more concerned than the emperor, practically ready to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan still felt he should give it a try; he couldn't let go of the task until he completed it and got the item.

Lu Yuan immediately said, "Then I'll try them one by one. Everything has its nemesis. I don't believe that the mysterious creatures in this chaotic sea can do whatever they want."

The mutual generation and restraint of all things is a universally acknowledged principle of the universe.

He simply refused to believe that the existence within this chaotic sea was unsolvable.

If there was no other way, he would try them one by one, using the Heavenly Demon City puppets as examples. As long as he had enough Heavenly Demon City puppets, he would eventually find out their weaknesses.

Uja Quasi-Saint and the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect exchanged a glance; both could tell that Lu Yuan had lost his mind.

The puppets of the Heavenly Demon City are extremely precious; it takes a great deal of effort and resources to create even one. Now he wants to try them one by one? What a joke! Isn't this obviously being reckless?
However, no one could pull Lu Yuan up there, so Lu Yuan immediately took out a new puppet and threw it in.

The reason why the puppets of the Heavenly Demon City are so precious is that, in addition to their growth potential and independence, they also have a special ability: they can briefly merge with the cultivator's original consciousness and abilities to perform tasks.

For a short time, the puppet of the Heavenly Demon City can unleash a portion of the user's original abilities in battle, but that's enough for Lu Yuan.

He only needed to use the puppets of the Heavenly Demon City to test the weaknesses of the mysterious creatures in the Chaos Sea one by one. He believed that with his abilities, he would definitely be able to find a targeted and effective method.

And so, the first puppet once again entered the Sea of ​​Chaos.

The instant he entered the Sea of ​​Chaos, Lu Yuan merged with the puppet of the Heavenly Demon City, as if his own body were in the Sea of ​​Chaos, and his spiritual power was instantly maximized.

The quasi-saint level soul keenly sensed all directions, ready to deal with the mysterious creatures that might launch a sneak attack at any moment.

Having taken precautions beforehand, Lu Yuan finally saw through the attackers' true colors.

Its true form was actually a huge 'corpse'.

The corpse floated in the endless sea of ​​chaos, wandering endlessly, seemingly following all living things. Once a living thing entered the sea of ​​chaos, it would attract the 'corpse', and then the corpse would swallow it whole.

These corpses were all enormous, like giants, and carried an ancient aura.

This made Lu Yuan feel a chill run down his spine; the immense pressure and sense of oppression put him under tremendous strain.

Could this be the true form of the legendary ancient demon god from beyond the realm?

There are also legends of three thousand demon gods in the celestial realm. However, the celestial realm only knows that the great god Pangu killed countless demon gods, but no one knows where those demon gods went after they died.

However, there are indeed three forbidden lands in this outer realm, which are also places where demon gods have fallen, as recorded in the main texts.

Now, inside the Chaos Sea, one of the three forbidden lands, Lu Yuan, after countless years, actually saw ancient corpses floating there.

These corpses were enormous, profound, mysterious, and powerful.

His first impression was that this corpse must be one of the ancient demon gods.

Could those really be the corpses of demon gods? No wonder I didn't even have a chance to react just now.

Whether from beyond the realms or the celestial realm, the demon gods are incredibly powerful. In life, they probably surpassed even saints, and even after death, though they are corpses, their instincts still possess saint-level abilities.

If Lu Yuan's soul hadn't reached the Quasi-Saint level, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Now that he had discovered the true nature of the other party and knew that it was a corpse, Lu Yuan prepared to take action and see if he could defeat this ancient god corpse.

If the opponent can be killed or repelled, then it will be safe for me to re-enter the Sea of ​​Chaos.

In his first encounter with this ancient corpse, Lu Yuan directly used his strongest methods, unleashing numerous laws to annihilate the chaotic ancient corpse.

However, the laws crushed onto the ancient demon god's corpse without causing the slightest damage, leaving Lu Yuan dumbfounded.

This attack of mine, which could strike a quasi-saint, had no effect whatsoever on this ancient corpse. This was too outrageous.

Can a corpse really have such terrifying self-defense capabilities?

Even a living saint couldn't be more virtuous, could they? (End of Chapter)
