"No matter what conflicts you had with Jiang Chen before, you must follow his arrangements after entering the Five Elements Secret Realm. Do not leave him at any time."
"Have you understood?"
Seeing the stern tone of the Jade Emperor, the seven princesses and the others also realized the seriousness of the issue and quickly said: "Please rest assured, Father. Your daughter remembers and will not engage in a conflict with Jiang Chen."
Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor nodded and said to them: "Alright, you may now follow me to the Fragrance Pavilion to meet Jiang Chen."
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor led the seven fairy maids out of the Jade Pool and to the entrance of the Fragrance Pavilion.
In the Fragrance Pavilion, without having to wait long, the Jade Emperor came in with the seven fairy maids.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward and said, "Jiang Chen pays his respects to Your Majesty, and to the princesses."
The Jade Emperor nodded in acceptance of Jiang Chen’s courtesy. The seven fairy maids also slightly bowed in return, saying, "Tian Shou (Tian Lu...) pays her respects to the Emperor Lord!"
Seeing the respectful demeanor of the seven fairy maids, it was a stark contrast to their initial reactions of wanting to fight upon the sight of Jiang Chen.
The Jade Emperor seemed to be in a hurry and did not exchange pleasantries with Jiang Chen. Instead, he said directly, "Jiang Chen, I know you have many questions. Let’s talk as we go."
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor did not wait for Jiang Chen to respond. He used his divine ability to leave the Heaven Court with Jiang Chen and the seven fairy maids, flying toward Outer Chaos.
It seemed that the Jade Emperor was heading for Outer Chaos, implying that the secret realm formed from the remnants of the Five Elements Demon God was not in the Three Realms, but in Outer Chaos.
It was as if they had passed through a huge barrier, and the scenery before Jiang Chen’s eyes suddenly changed. The originally brilliant stars turned into a gray and dim space.
Here, endless gray-black currents flowed ferociously, presenting a boundless scene, which is the most mysterious and dangerous place in the Prehistoric World: Outer Chaos.
Seeing the surging chaos ahead, even under the protection of the Jade Emperor’s divine ability, a chill arose in Jiang Chen’s heart.
Outer Chaos, it’s the most dangerous place in the Prehistoric World. Even the Innate Dao Sovereigns wouldn’t venture here without necessity. Without the protection of a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure, even an Innate Dao Sovereign risks being swallowed by chaos when venturing into Outer Chaos.
As it was rumored that Jieyin and Quasi-Saint, the two saints who were in their later stages of Innate Dao Sovereign, almost met their demise in Outer Chaos on their way to Zixiao Palace to hear the Tao.
From this, one can know how dangerous this place is.
Even Innate Dao Sovereigns face the risk of falling, let alone cultivators below the Dao Sovereign. Once they come to Outer Chaos, without the protection of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, death is certain, with no chance of survival.
Even for Jiang Chen, without a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, if he fell into Outer Chaos, he would also become part of the boundless chaos.
His prided divine abilities and methods, are completely insignificant in front of the violent chaotic energy. Therefore, Outer Chaos is truly the most dangerous place in the Prehistoric World.
However, this place also holds the most opportunities in the Prehistoric World.
Outer Chaos was a miraculous place created by Pangu Great God with great divine power. It encompassed the entire Prehistoric World, separating it from the true Chaos, which gave birth to Pangu.
The chaotic energy there is even more violent and powerful. Even within the unknown depths of that Chaos, Chaos Demigods lurk.
Although the Prehistoric World is powerful, it’s unable to resist the impact of the true Chaos. Therefore, in order to protect the newborn Heaven and Earth, Pangu specially created this mysterious place, Outer Chaos, as a buffer zone between the Prehistoric World and the true Chaos.
There are two purposes for the existence of Outer Chaos. One is to resist the impact of true Chaos on the Prehistoric World, and the other is to transform the energy of Chaos to supply the needs of the Prehistoric World.
It’s because of these attributes of Outer Chaos that it can produce many treasures.
These treasures were either born from the chaotic energy or transformed from fragments of the Chaotic Spiritual Treasures in the hands of the Chaos Demons that shattered during the creation of the world. Of course, some are special products of Chaos brought by Outer Chaos from the true Chaos.
In other words, these treasures share a common characteristic, they are more powerful than those born of Heaven and Earth. Among them, there are no shortage of treasures comparable to Innate Treasures.
As documented in the Dao Mirror, many of the lost Innate Treasures can be found in Outer Chaos.
Why do people with great divine abilities often choose to reside in Outer Chaos? It’s because there are treasures in Outer Chaos.
In Outer Chaos, there is no sense of up, down, left, right or even time.
Therefore, under the guidance of the Jade Emperor, Jiang Chen did not know which direction they were heading in, nor did he know how much time had passed since they came to the Prehistoric World in Outer Chaos?
In general, they kept on moving silently, until the Jade Emperor broke the silence, and began to tell Jiang Chen about the origin of the Five Elements Secret Realm.
"The Five Elements Secret Realm was not discovered by me, but by my teacher, your master, Honjan Daizu."
It’s related to Daozu?
For a moment, Jiang Chen was even more curious about the Five Elements Secret Realm, but he did not speak, instead patiently listening to the Jade Emperor’s story.
