System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"I'm right here in the core continent of the secret realm, and the Enlightenment Tree is about to be born. But now you've drained all the spiritual energy from my Purple Mansion. What am I supposed to use to compete with others?" Chen Xuan was furious and cursed loudly.

Just as he was cursing more and more fiercely, a voice that was neither male nor female, but had an extremely playful tone, suddenly exploded in his mind.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to me?" The small tower spoke as it shot up like an arrow, instantly reaching the sky above Chen Xuan's primordial spirit. Immediately afterward, a dazzling azure light enveloped Chen Xuan's primordial spirit completely.

In the instant he was enveloped and suppressed by the blue light, Chen Xuan was horrified to find that he seemed to have become a statue. Apart from being able to think, he could not move any part of his body, not even his pupils.

"Boy, I ask you, what year is it tonight?" The voice rang out again, revealing no age or gender characteristics, yet carrying a carefree and unrestrained air.

After his initial shock, Chen Xuan composed himself, quickly calculated in his mind, and replied, "This year is April 15th, 2025 BC. What's wrong?"

Chen Xuan was suppressed by the azure light at this moment. He couldn't move his body or even blink. He could only communicate with the tower through his consciousness.

At the same time, he was deeply shocked by the terrifying power displayed by this section of the tower.

"What BC? What 2025? What nonsense are you spouting?" The tower seemed completely bewildered by Chen Xuan's answer. It suddenly trembled slightly, and the azure light enveloping Chen Xuan vanished without a trace.

Then, with a hint of displeasure, it continued to ask, "What I'm asking about is the year of the realm, or the year of the world's destruction."

"Huh?" Chen Xuan looked at the cyan tower surrounding him, a puzzled expression on his face. "I've only lived for less than a hundred years. You're asking me about the age of my realm? How could I possibly know?"

Upon hearing this, the cyan tower seemed to be touched by something, pausing for a moment as if it were caught up in a painful memory.

"Then, how long has it been since the ancient cataclysmic calamity?" the tower asked again.

"The Great Cataclysm of Annihilation?" Chen Xuan fell into deep thought upon hearing this question. Fortunately, he had learned some secrets about the ancient war of annihilation during his discussions with Lin Yuqiong and others, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to answer. "I don't know the exact year, but in any case, countless years have passed since that battle."

"After the endless years since that battle?" This time, the words coming from the tower were clearly emotional, a deep sense of despondency.

"Senior, are you the spirit of this tower's magical artifact, or an ancient power whose primordial spirit, which was slain during the Immortal Ancient Era, now resides within this heaven-defying magical artifact?"

Chen Xuan had to figure this out; after all, if he didn't, it would be like planting a time bomb inside himself that could explode at any moment.

"Master?" Upon hearing Chen Xuan's question, the tower seemed to instantly recall the devastating world-destroying war of the Immortal Ancient Era.

In the ancient times of immortality, it followed its master in the conquest of the Imperial Pass Fortress. In the end, both sides' eternal supreme beings, quasi-emperors, and great emperors descended to kill the powerful invaders from the alien realm. Later, its master was unfortunately trapped by four quasi-emperors from the alien realm with a strange array. The master desperately burned its own essence, and finally dragged three quasi-emperors from the alien realm to its death.

Because the tower itself was incomplete, the little tower's memories were somewhat fragmented, but it still managed to recall some scenes from the great battle of the Immortal Ancient Era, leaving it unable to calm down for a long time.

"Youngster, don't worry, I'm not some ancient primordial spirit. Besides, with your weak divine and demonic body, tsk tsk tsk, I really wouldn't be interested." These words came from the little tower, carrying an incomparable arrogance and nonchalance.

"Your physical body is only barely acceptable because of these nine acquired green lotuses. The rest is a complete mess. Compared to a pure, special innate life form, it is far, far inferior."

Chen Xuan's greatest pride was his unparalleled physical foundation. But Xiao Ta's disdainful words instantly made him unable to sit still.

"Senior, even if you're going to boast, at least give me a draft, right?" Chen Xuan said indignantly, glaring at the small tower. "The foundation of my physical body was forged from dual-attribute innate creation elixir, and then nine acquired creation lotuses were transplanted into it. Moreover, my cultivation path follows the extreme cultivation system, and finally, with the help of legendary talent, I mastered the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' and reshaped the Crimson Bright Divine Body."

At this point, Chen Xuan looked at the small tower with a proud expression and continued, "How about it? With my achievements, even in the ancient times of immortality, I should be a genius that all the major powers would be vying for, right?"

"Looking down from the bottom of a well. It seems that after the world-destroying war in the Immortal Ancient Era, many lineages and traditions have long been wiped out. Otherwise, how could a descendant like you, who only has a third-class aptitude according to the Immortal Ancient Era's standards for assessing foundations, dare to be so arrogant?" The little tower's tone was full of disdain, as if it were looking at a clown.

"What?!" Chen Xuan's eyes widened as he stared intently at the small tower. "My foundation, back in the Immortal Ancient Era, was only a third-grade divine body foundation?"

Chen Xuan stared intently at the tower floating in the distance. For some reason, he had a strong feeling that the little tower's words were not just boasting, but rather a glimpse into the perspective of cultivators in the ancient immortal era.

"Young man, do you know that in the ancient immortal era, some special life forms, even some beings born from heaven and earth, were born with knowledge from the moment they gained consciousness and descended into the world, easily mastering a complete Great Dao?"

"And the next best, once conceived, can also master several complete ordinary paths." The little tower was unrestrained at this moment, and seemed not to care about revealing the secrets of the ancient immortals to Chen Xuan, a small being.

“I even heard my master say that in the late Immortal Ancient period, a disciple of an absolutely powerful figure was born with a Heavenly Dao. Later, under the careful tutelage of that powerful figure, this monstrous youth, even with a wounded true spirit, managed to break through to the peak Great Emperor realm during the final battle in the early stages of the cataclysmic calamity, thus reversing the decline of that realm’s imperial gate.”

"A peak emperor?" Chen Xuan murmured in bewilderment, "Born with knowledge, possessing a complete Heavenly Dao from birth?"

"Damn it, this isn't fair!!" Chen Xuan was filled with indignation and couldn't help but curse. Why was it that he had to reincarnate twice before finally embarking on the path of cultivation with the help of a system?

Others, however, are born with the ability to grasp the Dao of Heaven or the Great Dao, and are even taken in as disciples by super big shots who will teach them carefully.

This is the starting point for others, but the life destination I've always dreamed of!

"Hahaha..." Little Tower seemed amused by Chen Xuan's reaction, letting out a burst of unrestrained laughter that echoed in the sky above the Purple Mansion Sea, as if mocking the absurdity and injustice of this world.

"Fairness? You're just a delicate flower in a greenhouse in this era. In the Immortal Ancient Era, no one would talk about fairness," Little Tower said coldly.

"It seems Chen Xuan has lost his composure. Could you please tell this junior some secrets about the ancient immortals?" Chen Xuan's actions just now were all an act, otherwise how could he possibly peek into the secrets?
