"Assist me in reaching the Heaven-appointed Realm? Will you surrender Bao Lu, hand it over to me, and aid my breakthrough into the Heaven-appointed Realm?" Xingtong declared.
Yang Chen promptly shook his head: "Absolutely not, Fellow Daoist Xingtong is overthinking it."
Entering the Heaven-appointed Realm proves far tougher for the Insect Mother compared to ordinary cultivators. This very challenge means that should Bao Lu assist Xingtong in achieving the Heaven-appointed Realm, it could demand her life in exchange.
"You understand this fully yet still claim you'll help me reach the Heaven-appointed Realm, so you must grasp the immense challenges our Insect Queen faces in breaking through." Xingtong gazed at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded: "Indeed, I'm not entirely assured about guiding you to the Heaven-appointed Realm. That said, I'll exert every effort and seek out a solution for Fellow Daoist Xingtong regarding this issue."
Xingtong shook her head: "No need for that. I possess multiple paths to the Heaven-appointed Realm. Should Brother Yang Chen agree to collaborate, aiding my entry won't pose much trouble."
Hearing Xingtong mention her own approach, Yang Chen felt a spark of curiosity momentarily.
Yet, upon realizing cooperation was still required, Yang Chen couldn't suppress a twinge of doubt: "What exactly do you intend, Fellow Daoist Xingtong?"
Xingtong replied steadily: "If Brother Yang Chen consents to mating with me, your potent Law should easily propel me past the Heaven-appointed Realm barrier. Even should failure occur, numerous advantages remain. In case of shortfall, I'll pursue alternative routes to breakthrough and access the Heaven-appointed Realm, without further involvement from Brother Yang Chen."
"Mate?" Yang Chen froze, utterly taken aback.
Xingtong discussed it as though it were a trivial affair: "In human parlance, it might equate to dual cultivation. But our Insect Race lacks such elaborate labels."
Yang Chen's lips twitched, struggling to accept Xingtong's proposal.
One must admit, clan traditions vary wildly. As an Insect Race member, Xingtong addressed the topic with casual indifference.
Were it a Human Race individual, few would broach it so directly.
Glancing back at Xingtong, she seemed quite expectant, as if anticipating his consent.
Xingtong indeed fixed her hopeful gaze on Yang Chen, yearning for his approval.
The Insect Race features solely the Insect Mother, devoid of male counterparts. Their reproduction methods are diverse, capable even of unilateral procreation independent of males.
Naturally, this method carries pros and cons. Solo reproduction yields insects lacking strength or unique traits. Take the Heavenly Separation Insect Clan she leads—they're rather unremarkable.
Producing exceptional insects demands dual cultivation alongside formidable figures from other species.
The mightier the mate, the greater the chances of birthing potent offspring.
For certain supremely mighty beings in their domain, mating could even ignite the Insect Mother’s cultivation surge, propelling her toward the Heaven-appointed Realm.
This exact rationale fueled Xingtong's longing, for it was evident Yang Chen had attained the pinnacle of his cultivation stage.
She desperately hoped Yang Chen would consent, yet would he fulfill her wishes? Without much delay, he responded: "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Xingtong, but you'll have to be let down. I am already wed."
Witnessing Yang Chen's rejection, Xingtong shot him a reproachful look briefly and let out a soft sigh, revealing her dismay.
Nonetheless, after the refusal, Xingtong soon composed herself and stated: "Since Brother Yang Chen refuses to aid my Heaven-appointed Realm entry this way, only one final option remains. It might prove challenging, so steel yourself, Brother Yang Chen."
Yang Chen couldn't hide his astonishment; Xingtong truly held many techniques, including yet another avenue to the Heaven-appointed Realm.
From Yang Chen's viewpoint, regardless of the hardship, he could endure it, as elevating the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo was no simple feat to begin with.
"Go ahead and explain, Fellow Daoist Xingtong." Yang Chen urged.
Xingtong continued, "Brother Yang Chen, are you familiar with the Origin Land?"
At these words, Yang Chen replied without pause: "The Origin Land? Naturally, I've come across it. It's the most enigmatic among all universes."
Yang Chen had delved deeply into studies of the Universe Starry Sky.
While each primary universe falls under the governance of diverse clans, the Origin Land endures as an enigma. Yang Chen scoured countless Ancient Books yet uncovered no details on the Origin Land.
"Legends claim that prior to the emergence of other universes, a single cosmic fragment existed, known as the Origin Land. Whispers suggest it harbors the universe's profoundest secrets. Undoubtedly, the Origin Land stands as the utmost mystery across the cosmos. Yet, unraveling it demands great peril." Xingtong sighed.
"What are you getting at?" Yang Chen's intrigue grew.
Xingtong explained, "Across endless epochs, myriad supreme experts have ventured into the Origin Land. The least powerful among them held Heaven-appointed Realm cultivation, but scarce few emerged alive. Even Heavenly Extreme Realm titans who entered faced minuscule odds of survival, nearing none. To date, every survivor from the Origin Land has etched their name in annals, rising as unparalleled powerhouses. Precisely due to so few returnees, the Origin Land's secrets persist unsolved. Each live returnee draws the avid scrutiny of countless cosmic clans!"
"And then?" Yang Chen sensed Xingtong's main revelation was imminent.
"Three million years past, several Heavenly Extreme Realm experts, dispatched by major cosmic forces, plunged into the Origin Land to unveil its enigmas. Ultimately, just one survived. That individual was a Ruthless Beast Race Daoist Ancestor Expert, dubbed Forbidden Spirit!" Xingtong pressed on, "Upon Forbidden Spirit's return, hordes of mighty figures clamored to extract the Origin Land's truths from the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor. Even his own Ruthless Beast Race yearned for revelation!"
"What decision did the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor make?" Yang Chen inquired.
Xingtong reflected sorrowfully: "The Forbidden Spirit Ancestor's choice was utterly peculiar. Rather than rejoining the Ruthless Beast Race, he journeyed to the Ji Yuan Continent, erected a Dao Palace infused with his personal Law, and proclaimed that all secrets and wonders would reside therein before his transcendence from the world. Following his passing, throngs flocked to seize the Dao Palace's mysteries, alas, it unseals merely once every ten million years. In the million years succeeding the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor's demise, it unveiled for the inaugural time. During that event..."
