A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 56 Ancient Yuan Emperor

Wuya Mountain, at the bottom of a bottomless abyss.

Yun Dan groggily woke up and found herself in a mysterious secret realm.

She looked around and saw a misty, dreamlike scene.

"Where am I? Why am I here?" Yun Dan murmured in confusion.

"Little girl, you've finally arrived." An old voice rang in her ear.

Yun Dan was startled and hurriedly turned around. She saw an old man with white hair, but his body was like that of a two-year-old child. His face was old and frail, and he was looking at her with a smile.

"Who...who are you? Why...why am I here?" Yun Dan asked warily.

The old man smiled slightly and said slowly, "Haha... little girl, I am Xu, and my title is Ancient Yuan Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Yun Dan was bewildered and at a loss, not understanding why.

"Then may I ask Your Majesty, how did I get here? Didn't I fall from the top of the cliff? Did I end up here with Your Majesty after the fall?"

Ancient Emperor Venerable lightly scolded, "What a little girl! I was awakened to save you, and this little Heavenly Dao has already noticed."

"You little girl, you didn't even say thank you, instead asking so many questions."

Upon hearing what the child-like old man in front of her said, Yun Dan quickly offered a string of flattering words.

Emperor Gu Yuan knew that she was flattering him, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Enough, enough. The reason you are here is because I have drawn your soul into my primordial spirit."

"What? My soul?" Yun Dan's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Indeed, your body fell into a coma after falling off the cliff."

"I have been calling you for a long time without success, so I had no choice but to bring your soul here," the old man explained.

Yun Dan recalled her fall off the cliff and felt a wave of fear wash over her.

"Your Majesty, did you save me?" Yun Dan asked in a deep voice.

"If that's the case, do you know who I am?" the Ancient Yuan Emperor asked majestically.

"I don't know." Yun Dan shook her head immediately after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, just listen to what I have to say."

My name is Xu, and my Daoist title is Guyuan Emperor.

He was a cultivator from the Void Realm. Due to the opening of the Void Realm's secret realm, he entered with eleven old friends, including Jin, Mu, and Lei, and became trapped inside.

This forced the twelve of us to join forces and spare a wisp of our primordial spirit to escape and seek an opportunity.

This is one of them. When my primordial spirit left my body, that guy, the Fire Emperor, also appeared. After discussing it, we decided to split up and search for him.

The true self has been searching for over ten eons.

Finally, they encountered a demon lord on the way and fought with him, which caused the spacetime of the void to become disordered and a crack appeared.

And my wisp of primordial spirit was caught up in that rift during this battle.

While I was asleep, you seized me and transported me here through a rift in the void.

Yun Dan was completely confused; what was this about the Void Realm and demon gods...?

"Then Your Majesty, are you that blue object?" Yun Dan asked timidly.

Dear readers, I'm a little scared. What level of master is this?!

"Yes, that is a piece of spiritual wood that can nourish the soul."

"You little girl, and that little baby inside you, you really know how to cause me too much trouble."

"They brought me to such a low-level interface for no reason."

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I didn't know at the time. I just subconsciously reached out and grabbed it when I saw something beside me."

"Enough, enough. My time is running out. If I stay here too long, this little Heavenly Dao will soon shatter. After I revive you, I will leave."

Leaving? Why leave? How to leave?

"Your Majesty, can we leave here now? Can I go home now? Can you take me home?" Yun Dan asked excitedly.

Upon hearing Yun Dan's words, the expression on Gu Yuan Emperor's face changed in a myriad of ways.

“I can leave, but you cannot,” said the Ancient Yuan Emperor in a deep voice.

Yun Dan: "Why? Why can't I? Didn't you say you were leaving? Shouldn't you have taken me with you?"

"Alas... little girl. Although I do not know which realm you come from or why you came to this realm, you are indeed unable to leave, nor can you go with me, nor can I take you away."

You cannot go to the Void Realm of this Venerable One, but the Lesser Heavenly Dao of this realm is a small realm among the Three Thousand Great Worlds under the Twelve Great Realms.

The Void Realm is not something a lowly being like you can withstand. Do you understand?

Upon hearing what the Ancient Yuan Emperor had said, Yun Dan stopped making a fuss, but her mood was low. She had thought that she would finally be able to find her way back, but in the end, it was all for naught.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Gu Yuan dispelled Yun Dan's dejected mood.

"Alright, little girl, tell me, in the first realm, did you hear of any demon god's title? Let me see if I recognize it."

However, you, little girl, dare to attempt possession; to us, this is a grave taboo. Yet, I am not an inhuman being.

"Demon? Immortal? Emperor, could you be talking about an immortal? Do you know anything about the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Houtu?" Yun Dan asked with a look of delight.

Ancient Emperor said, "I have never heard of him, and I do not know who he is. He may be a junior, or he may be a person of profound cultivation, such as a demon god who has experienced countless eons."

Yun Dan pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the three thousand demon gods, Pangu, Hongjun, Rahu, Qiankun, and Yin Yang?"

The Ancient Yuan Emperor did not respond, but only murmured softly, "Three thousand demon gods, three thousand demon gods..."

A moment later, he looked at Yun Dan with a face full of astonishment.

"Your world is the Realm of Meng?? The Pangu you mentioned, is he wielding an axe and holding a lotus platform?"

Upon hearing what the Ancient Emperor said, Yun Dan beamed with joy and said, "That's right, that's Hongmeng, that's Pangu. Do you perhaps know the Great God Pangu?"

Upon hearing the Emperor's reply, Yun Dan was so happy that even her speech changed.

“I don’t know that kid, I’ve only heard Meng mention him. So your interface was created by that kid.”

The old man nodded and then said, "I can save you. Although I cannot take you away now, you can try to find your way home in the future."

As for the little one inside you, if you wish to wait for it to awaken, given your own condition, you may not be able to do so even before the end of your life.

"What? Xiaoyu needs that much time? It takes so long to save me."

"Enough, enough. Your own problems haven't been resolved yet. You're possessing other people's bodies but have no ability to merge with them. Sooner or later, you'll fall into the demonic path."

Upon hearing these words from the Ancient Emperor, Yun Dan was nearly startled.

"After we leave, I will help you resolve your soul's matter."

"Let me briefly explain. The realm where your original body was located was the Realm of Illusion, the realm here is the Realm of Yin, and the realm where I am located is the Realm of Void. There are a total of twelve such realms."

Beneath the twelve realms lie three thousand great worlds, each containing a thousand middle worlds, and each middle world further contains a thousand small worlds.

A small world is equivalent to a galaxy, do you understand?

"So that means there are twelve Hongmeng in total, each Hongmeng has three thousand great worlds, each great world has one thousand middle worlds, and finally each middle world has one thousand small worlds. Each small world is equivalent to a galaxy." Yun Dan seemed to be explaining to himself, and also repeating it to the Ancient Yuan Emperor.

"Exactly."

"Your Majesty, after you leave, will I be able to awaken?" Yun Dan continued to ask.

“That’s right. When you wake up, that will be the time for me to leave. If I don’t leave now, I fear this little Heavenly Dao will shatter, and this world will turn into nothingness.”

However, before you depart, you must first unite your soul and body as one, otherwise you may later suffer a qi deviation.

Emperor Gu Yuan's expression was solemn as he solemnly warned Yun Dan.
