CHAPTER 1031: CHAPTER 1021: RETURN TO THE PRIMORDIAL

When the voice fell into Chen Hai’s ears, the Divine Ancestor Douzhan had completely disappeared without a trace.

As the Cave Heaven Master, he should have complete control over everything within the Cave Heaven World.

However, Chen Hai’s ability to control had no effect whatsoever on the Divine Ancestor Douzhan.

He didn’t know how Douzhan came in or when he came in.

After suddenly disappearing from this hall, did he return to Chaos, or is he still somewhere within the Cave Heaven World? Chen Hai couldn’t sense a thing.

It’s as if the Divine Ancestor Douzhan, this Primordial Chaos Great Power, never truly existed; everything about him remains unknown to Chen Hai, the Cave Heaven Master.

"The Land of Slumber? Which region is this?"

Shaking his head, Chen Hai tried to calm himself down.

From the appearance of the Divine Ancestor Douzhan to his disappearance, it only took a few breaths’ time.

But just within that short time, the terrible pressure he brought on Chen Hai soaked his chest and back with cold sweat.

The door of the hall remained tightly closed.

While Chen Hai was in seclusion for cultivation, various arrays covering this hall were naturally in an active state.

Unfortunately, for the arrival or departure of the Divine Ancestor Douzhan, the door was like it wasn’t there, and the arrays seemed non-existent, having no effect at all.

Within the Mirror Moon Space, Chen Hai had fought against the simulated Emperor Pan Ancestor more than once or twice, but facing a supreme powerhouse of the Primordial Chaos Daluo level for the first time was truly terrifying.

In just a few words, without actually engaging with the Divine Ancestor Douzhan, the terror of the power he displayed sent shivers down Chen Hai’s spine.

In his current state of mind, he naturally couldn’t calm himself to continue cultivating.

Pacing back and forth in the hall, Chen Hai racked his brains over the Land of Slumber mentioned by the Divine Ancestor Douzhan upon his departure.

Sadly, he had no recollection of such a place.

He was sure that he had never heard of the name Land of Slumber before.

With a flicker of his body, Chen Hai had already left the hall, standing atop the Immortal Mountain outside.

Near the group of palaces on the mountain peak, numerous generations of those people from the Black Water Lineage gathered in groups, chatting and laughing as they went about their business.

All over the Immortal Mountain stood countless cave mansions.

Except for a few vacant mansions, most had disciples in secluded cultivation.

The Black Water Immortal Mountain, once rich with Spiritual Energy to the point of being tangible, had its energy halved over countless years due to the vast number of disciples.

Hidden within the 31st Layer Heaven, the Black Water Lineage had flourished to an extreme over these years.

Although prosperity must decline, in Chen Hai’s view, the Black Water Immortal Mountain was far from the time of decline.

Of course, a big reason for this situation was that he, the founder ancestor, was still around, capable of forcibly quelling any dissenting voices.

Without alerting anyone, Chen Hai wandered around the Black Water Immortal Mountain, then went to Golden Dawn Island outside.

After the calamity of the Pan Spiders, the desolate Golden Dawn Island had dramatically transformed with years of recovery and growth.

Cities stood tall, and the lands were claimed by the human race.

The remaining demon beasts either fled into deep mountains and forests or were tamed by humans to provide food.

Near every city, the wastelands had been converted to farmland.

Now, Golden Dawn Island seemed to have shifted away from the cultivation civilization and taken on traces of the agricultural era.

Of course, this was mainly because most areas of Golden Dawn Island were poor in Spiritual Energy, and the majority of the inhabitants were ordinary humans, unable to support many cultivators.

Feeling a bit heavy-hearted, Chen Hai wandered around the island.

Then, he exited the Cave Heaven World and returned directly to the Primordial Land.

His whereabouts were not disclosed to anyone, nor did he mention the arrival of the Divine Ancestor Douzhan to anyone in detail.

After all, dealing with such a level of existence was beyond Chen Hai’s capability; he could only take it step by step. If others in the Cave Heaven World knew of this, it would only lead to endless panic and chaos with nothing else to be done.

Upon entering the Primordial Land, Chen Hai was alone; the Cave Heaven World was not carried with him but left in the 31st Layer Heaven.

The Primordial Land had previously shown hints of civilization, but now, it had reverted to savagery.

Walking on the southern Zhan State, which he once knew, now showed no cities, only ruins destroyed beyond recognition.

It was as if everyone had gone bloodthirsty; on this land, people from differing camps would instantly engage in deadly combat upon meeting.

Corpses littered the ground, and the land was stained with blood.

Not to mention living people, even live birds, beasts, insects, and fish were hard to find.

Originally, Chen Hai returned to the Primordial Land to inquire about the Land of Slumber, but in the current chaotic state, there was no stable environment to gather information.

Now, major forces ruling over the southern Zhan State numbered six or seven.

Chen Hai attempted to approach them to search for clues about the Land of Slumber.

However, upon seeing his unfamiliar face and knowing he wasn’t from their camp, they attacked him without hesitation.

Relying on absolute power, Chen Hai eventually subdued them, but, like him, they knew nothing about the Land of Slumber.

Faced with such a situation, what could he do!

Roaming the southern Zhan State for several months, he finally settled in a newly excavated temporary cave mansion at the foot of a great mountain.

Using Divine Sense, he scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was spying.

With a thought, the next moment, Chen Hai appeared in the Mirror Moon Space.

When the Divine Ancestor Douzhan just left, he considered entering the Mirror Moon Space to simulate and challenge him to see the actual gap in power between them.

But thinking it over, he ultimately abandoned this tempting idea.

After all, Douzhan had just left at that time, and who knew if he truly left or if he was nearby, watching his situation.

A chaotic Spiritual Treasure, even if of middle grade, still possessed considerable appeal to a Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm expert.

If he detected Chen Hai’s anomalies, who knew what might happen?

Not until several months later did Chen Hai enter the Mirror Moon Space, purely for caution.
