Chapter 1958: Chapter 62: Awakening the Realm Embryo
This is a void wrapped in ruins that can be found everywhere in the Sea of Chaos Realm.
From the outside, no one would ever think that such a vast number of Dao Fields are hidden deep within these seemingly ordinary ruins.
Each Realm Embryo breathes like a living being, absorbing the surrounding Chaos Origin Substance.
When Chong Hua and Yun Qi passed through the scroll, what they saw was such a scene.
“Where do these Chaos Origin Substances come from?”
Chong Hua glanced across these Dao Fields, slightly puzzled.
Whether it was him or his main body, both had navigated Fanming through the Sea of Chaos Realm, yet they had rarely encountered Chaos Origin Substance existing alone.
The entire Sea of Chaos Realm seemed to be shrouded under ruins.
Yun Qi, with a respectful expression, explained truthfully:
“Long, long ago, the Chaos Origin Substance in the Sea of Chaos Realm was almost entirely divided among different factions, especially the Three Realms. Compared to us, they need the Chaos Origin Substance more to nourish their own Domains, and the more life forms they have, the higher the cultivators’ strength, the more astonishing the amount of Chaos Origin Substance they require, far beyond what we need to nurture a Realm Embryo. This also led to many factions being conquered at the outset due to Chaos Origin Substance.”
“However, with the discovery of the Sea Market, there came another way to obtain Chaos Origin Substance… Most of the Chaos Origin Substance in the Red Sky Palace is obtained from the Sea Market.”
“The Sea Market?”
Chong Hua raised his eyebrow slightly.
Understanding Chong Hua’s ignorance of the Sea of Chaos Realm, Yun Qi also hurriedly explained:
“The Sea Market is a very peculiar place located in the Void of the Boundary Sea.”
“Its rules are reversed, there are many restrictions, and also many dangers, yet there are countless treasures and opportunities hidden within, such as Chaos Origin Substance, Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid that can nourish the Primordial Spirit, rare middle to upper grade Innate Dao Treasures, divine beasts… and many more.”
“Some say it is the connection point between the Boundary Sea and beyond, and some say it is the place where the Boundary Sea reincarnates and transforms, which is why Chaos Origin Substance continues to appear from it.”
Upon hearing this, Chong Hua couldn’t help but show an interested expression.
Although his main body has cultivated to this day, he has never encountered any senior immortal cave, fairyland, nor had much significant encounter, which he deeply regrets.
But the Sea Market sounds somewhat intriguing.
However, he quickly realized the problem within:
“If that’s the case, how could the Sea Market not be monopolized by the Three Realms? How are you still able to get a share?”
Yun Qi shook his head in response:
“The Three Realms naturally wish to possess it entirely, but the Sea Market has a peculiarity, its entrance appears and disappears irregularly, and its appearing location is also not fixed; no one can determine where it will appear, even the cultivators of the Three Realms with their extraordinary abilities are helpless.”
“It is precisely because of the existence of the Sea Market that many factions below the Three Realms have the courage to join forces against the Three Realms.”
Chong Hua suddenly understood.
He became increasingly interested in this Sea Market.
Curiously, he asked:
“Is the Sea Market still around now?”
Yun Qi shook his head:
“It disappeared again over a century ago, and who knows when it will appear next.”
Chong Hua asked in confusion:
“Then how do you know where the entrance to the Sea Market is?”
Yun Qi had no hesitation, directly taking out a ring familiar to Chong Hua, engraved with pavilion patterns.
Chong Hua looked astonished, then also took out the ring given to him by his main body, which recorded the map of the Sea of Chaos Realm; comparing the two, apart from the difference in material quality, the patterns were exactly the same.
“So the Master also has such an item.”
Yun Qi commented, somewhat surprised.
Chong Hua shook his head:
“Obtained by looting… This seems to contain a map of the Sea of Chaos Realm?”
“Yes,” Yun Qi nodded: “This item was specially crafted in joint research by various factions based on the fluctuations when the Sea Market appears, in order to be the first to find the Sea Market. The map on it indeed depicts the distribution of various major factions in the Sea of Chaos Realm, but it generally only records factions at least at the level of Hundred Ghost Mountain; those weaker without even a stationed place are not recorded.”
Chong Hua nodded in understanding, it seems his main body guessed right.
Thinking for a moment, he was still curious:
“Is the Sea of Chaos Realm as vast as on the map? Has no one ever been farther?”
“There have… but none have returned, over time, no one is willing to explore further.”
Yun Qi’s expression showed a bit of lament.
Chong Hua nodded, acknowledging that his understanding of the Sea of Chaos Realm was still limited; these matters could be studied slowly later.
Looking at the forty or so Dao Fields in front of him, except for two that were empty with only Chaos Origin Substance slowly flowing within, the rest were nurturing black Realm Embryos, three of which were motionless, and Chaos Origin Substance almost no longer flowed into them.
If not mistaken, these three should be the mature Realm Embryos mentioned by Yun Qi.
Pointing at these three mature Realm Embryos, he asked with slight curiosity:
“The Hundred Ghost Mountain cultivates these Realm Embryos, and you also cultivate them… Are Realm Embryos that easy to cultivate? And what are they for?”
“You are so eager to have a Domain, why not simply cultivate one directly?”
Yun Qi, knowing Chong Hua’s ignorance of the situation within the Sea of Chaos Realm, was not surprised hearing this question, and immediately explained:
“The so-called Realm Embryo, in the end, is the combination of ‘Dao’ and Chaos Origin Substance, so as long as one finds a suitable Dao, they can rely on Chaos Origin Substance to nurture a Realm Embryo…”
