Chen Qingqing's words left both Chen Chang'an and Yi Tuo stunned.
Yi Tuo needed to absorb Destruction Energy to enhance his strength, but Chen Chang'an didn't. So why would Chen Qingqing say that Chen Chang'an also needed such a place?
Could it be…
World Origin Energy?
Chen Qingqing had once mentioned that Chen Chang'an could only continuously refine the minor world he possessed by absorbing sufficient World Origin Energy.
However, the Ancient Immortal Realm had stabilized, making it extremely difficult—if not impossible—for Chen Chang'an to extract World Origin Energy from it.
Only in shattered worlds would remnants of World Origin Energy remain.
"I'm a bit unclear—what exactly counts as a minor world, and what qualifies as an independent space?"
"Is there any difference between the two?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"Of course, and the difference is significant."
"To put it simply, the independent spaces within the Ancient Immortal Realm, including those blessed lands and cave heavens, do not possess their own unique laws."
"Moreover, they are intrinsically connected to the Ancient Immortal Realm, essentially part of it."
"But minor worlds are different. They have their own laws and rules, existing as completely independent entities."
"For example, the Tai Xuan Realm you resided in before ascending is considered an independent minor world."
"The Tai Xuan Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm are not one and the same but separate existences."
"Honestly, the fastest method would be for you to destroy countless minor worlds like the Tai Xuan Realm and absorb their World Origin Energy to refine your own minor world."
"But doing so…"
Though this was an extremely efficient method, it was far too malevolent.
After all, every minor world contained countless lives. If Chen Chang'an destroyed their world, it would be tantamount to erasing all those lives.
At this thought, Chen Chang'an suddenly froze and hurriedly asked, "Are secret realms independent spaces or destroyed worlds?"
"I remember hearing when I first arrived in the Ancient Immortal Realm that secret realms might be formed from the remnants of blessed lands, cave heavens, or other independent spaces after their collapse."
"But if they were independent spaces, shouldn’t their destruction just lead to disappearance? Why would Destruction Energy emerge?"
"Since independent spaces are fundamentally part of the Ancient Immortal Realm, as long as the Ancient Immortal Realm remains intact, their collapse should only result in vanishing, not becoming secret realms."
Hearing this, Chen Qingqing shook her head. "The person who told you that must have misunderstood secret realms."
"Secret realms can only form from the collapse of minor worlds."
"If an independent space is destroyed, it will vanish completely."
"You must understand, many independent minor worlds, though not part of the Ancient Immortal Realm, can still be connected to it through certain methods."
"Take the Demon Realm from back then, for example—it was an independent minor world, no less advanced than the Ancient Immortal Realm."
"Therefore, the secret realms within the Ancient Immortal Realm are all remnants of collapsed minor worlds that, for some reason, became linked to it."
"That’s what people refer to as the entrance to a secret realm."
Through Chen Qingqing, Chen Chang'an finally understood the true origin of secret realms—not as Chen Wanqing of the Huan Hua Immortal Sect had once described.
"If that’s the case, then I just need to visit more secret realms and absorb their World Origin Energy, right?"
"There are plenty of secret realms in the Ancient Immortal Realm."
"I don’t necessarily have to destroy other minor worlds, do I?" Chen Chang'an asked.
"That’s true, but there’s one thing you must keep in mind."
"After a world is destroyed, it becomes saturated with Destruction Energy, while its World Origin Energy gradually dissipates."
"In other words, the longer a minor world has been destroyed, the more its World Origin Energy will have faded. Eventually, there may be none left at all."
"So it’s not just about visiting enough secret realms—you also need luck to absorb sufficient World Origin Energy," Chen Qingqing explained.
Chen Chang'an gave Chen Qingqing a curious look. Weren’t you just a tree? How do you know so much?
"Qingqing, how do you know all this?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.
"Is that strange?"
"Though I’ve never left the depths of the Wugu Ocean, that doesn’t mean I’m ignorant."
"I once bore World Origin Energy, and my divine sense was connected to the entire Ancient Immortal Realm."
"Isn’t it natural that I’d know a bit more?" Chen Qingqing gave him a peculiar look, as if baffled by such a foolish question.
"Ahem!"
"Fair point, very fair."
Chen Chang'an coughed lightly, though not out of embarrassment—he didn’t even know the meaning of the word. He just felt like he’d been looked down on by a tree.
"Big Bro, you’ve gotta take me with you."
"I miss Destruction Energy so much."
"Fine, I won’t forget you. After all this time together, when have I ever let you down?"
"Every day."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing! I said never!"
A full seven days passed, and Da Huang and Little Earthworm still hadn’t finished their breakthrough, which puzzled Chen Chang'an.
Did these two really need this long to advance?
"It seems their breakthrough this time isn’t a simple one."
"Let’s wait a little longer."
"I’ll cultivate too."
With no other choice, Chen Chang'an threw himself into cultivation. Having already reached the peak of the Immortal King realm, the next step was the Immortal Emperor realm.
Three months flew by. During this time, Yi Tuo noticed that Chen Qingqing hadn’t moved an inch—not even the slightest sway.
This astonishing discovery led Yi Tuo to spend the entire three months staring motionlessly at her.
"Breakthrough! Finally broke through!"
"Big Bro—huh? Big Bro’s cultivating?"
Da Huang was ecstatic after his successful breakthrough. Back in the Qilin Clan, he had already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm through inheritance. Now, he had surged straight to the Immortal Venerable realm—fifth level, no less.
For Da Huang, this was a process of recovery. He just hadn’t expected to regain the fifth level of the Immortal Venerable realm so quickly.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he returned to his former peak—the Immortal Emperor realm.
"Little Earthworm, you broke through too?"
"Yeah. For some reason, this breakthrough was fast and intense."
"I jumped straight from the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm to the first level of the Immortal Emperor realm."
"It’s strange—it feels like there’s some energy inside me pushing my cultivation forward."
Da Huang was surprised that Little Earthworm’s progress had been so rapid. Truly befitting a Nine-Clawed Chaos Dragon—extraordinary indeed.
"Yi Tuo, what are you doing?"
"I’m watching Chen Qingqing. She hasn’t moved for three months. It’s weird."
"How would you know?"
"Because I stared at her motionlessly for three months."
