Chapter 447 - Primordial Realm
Since they had already made the decision to leave, Long Chen and Xiaolang headed in the direction of the Imperial Capital as Long Chen wanted to bid Zhao Qingyun farewell.
Along the way, the brothers slowly bonded with the Reincarnation Beast and Long Chen slowly figured out what the deal was with this cat. The Reincarnation Beast would not tell them about his own origins, only saying that he was from the ancient era and had always been in the Primordial Dragon Talisman. He had woken up after Long Chen found the Primordial Dragon Talisman but had not spoken until now.
This went on until Wang Chao destroyed Baiyang Town.
Long Chen quickly figured out the cat’s main talent. Other than bragging, he did not seem to have any other abilities, to which the Reincarnation Beast replied, “Do you think it was easy to change the fate of the whole town and bring you all back to life? Let me tell you this—I have no combat abilities now because I have wasted all the strength I saved up over ten thousand years on you guys!”
Long Chen only believed half of it.
However, due to the presence of the fat cat, the somber journey suddenly experienced a lift in mood.
In the beginning, Long Chen treated the Reincarnation Beast with great reverence and almost saw him as a god, seeing as he was living within the Primordial Dragon Talisman. However, the longer they chatted, the more he realized that all he did was brag.
They thought less and less of the Reincarnation Beast as time went on, and at one point, Long Chen decided to call him “Little Cat” or “Fat Cat.”
The greatest surprise he learned along the way was that Little Cat was fluent in the language of beasts! If Long Chen could learn it too, then he would be able to communicate directly with Xiaolang!
“Whatever. I see that you two are unable to communicate with each other, so I have decided to shower you with mercy and compassion. Let me teach you the language of beasts; you must learn it properly so you do not embarrass my name. Years ago, during ancient times, I was the famous god of reincarnation!”
“Fat Cat, that’s enough nonsense. Get on with it,” Long Chen said directly.
“Do not call me Fat Cat again, Ant, or I will ... Whatever. A god does not argue with a mortal peasant like you. As for the language of beasts, listen closely ...”
Five days later, Long Chen had almost completely mastered the language of beasts. When he realized that he actually could understand Xiaolang’s words, he was ecstatic.
Of course, Xiaolang was also excited to be able to communicate with Long Chen. Ever since becoming a Sun Devouring Wolf, he felt like he was living in his own world where only Ling Xi could communicate with him. Now that he could finally talk to Long Chen, he was emotional. Long Chen had chosen this path, and that meant they would be on a very, very long journey together, so everything changed when they were able to communicate directly.
“Big Brother!” Xiaolang looked emotional.
“It’s good we can communicate,” said Long Chen, nodding. Then he said to Little Cat, who was hiding in the Primordial Dragon Talisman, “Fat Cat, I’m extremely grateful for this. Let’s be friends, alright? If you ever need anything, you can tell me. If I am able, I will help you!”
“Uh ... Haha! It’s nothing to me. I did it without even lifting a finger; it was effortless. No worries, no worries ...” said Little Cat humbly.
Xiaolang, who was hurrying along, turned around and glared at Little Cat fiercely. Little Cat quickly hid behind Long Chen at such a speed that even Long Chen was impressed.
Xiaolang didn’t feel like arguing, or he would have reduced Little Cat to ashes with his Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. After a while, both Long Chen and Xiaolang discovered that Little Cat seemed to be afraid of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, which was why he was so afraid of Xiaolang.
“Alright. Can you teach me how to use the Primordial Realm now?” Long Chen said with a grin. He planned to move all his possessions into it. If it really was like what Little Cat said, then it was the safest place in the world.
Although Little Cat was snobbish, he was gracious when teaching Long Chen new techniques. Soon, Long Chen learned how to control the Primordial Realm and could sense a gray, blurry space that existed in the Primordial Dragon Talisman. There was a large amount of gray gas inside too.
“This is Primordial Qi; it was formed when the heavens and earth were formed. Both cultivators and demonic beasts alike can benefit greatly from it. The little black dog won’t evolve perfectly if all it absorbs is fire-type treasures. Primordial Qi will nourish his body and merge with him, allowing him to truly become the greatest demonic beast in the world,” Little Cat explained dramatically.
As he spoke, the expression on his face showed that he would be unimpressed even if Xiaolang had become the ultimate beast.
After learning how to use the Primordial Realm, Long Chen attempted to move his possessions inside. Through sensing the space with his consciousness, he could clearly sense the location of his items inside the realm. He could take them out by using his mind too.
This was much safer than storing them in his Universe Pouch. Even if he was killed, other people would not be able to get the items he had stored inside the Primordial Realm.
Letting Xiaolang stay inside the Primordial Realm to cultivate was also a good idea. Bringing a beast like him along was not convenient in certain situations, though since Xiaolang was not willing to enter under normal circumstances, Long Chen would not force him to. It would be all up to Xiaolang.
Very quickly, Long Chen moved all of his possessions into the Primordial Realm.
“Big Brother, the fat cat keeps talking up the Primordial Qi. Let me go in to check it out,” Xiaolang said curiously.
Long Chen nodded. Xiaolang did not resist when he was transferred into the Primordial Realm.
“The Primordial Realm is like a miniverse under your control. When you become stronger, you might even be able to enter the Primordial Realm yourself,” Little Cat said smugly.
Soon, Long Chen moved Xiaolang out of the Primordial Realm.
“How was it?” he asked.
“Fat Cat is right. I did feel something, and although it was faint, I am sure that it was definitely something good ...” said Xiaolang, as if he could not get enough of it.
“In that case, let’s go say goodbye to my master ...”
