In the end, swayed by the rabbit's urging, Chen Xuan set aside his plans to head to the Stone Race for the moment.
Moreover, Xiaoqi stood on the brink of a major realm breakthrough.
During this crucial period, leaving the Primordial Realm was out of the question.
Ten days passed.
"Husband, will Xiaoqi be okay?"
Lan Meng'er stared at the horrifying Spirit Tribulation brewing in the sky, her complexion turning pale, worry flooding her eyes as she watched Xiaoqi hovering in the air.
"Don't worry."
Chen Xuan gently patted her back to reassure her.
As the proverb says, too much concern breeds mistakes; if Xiaoqi's power couldn't overcome even a simple Spirit Tribulation, that would be laughable.
That said, Xiaoqi's Spirit Tribulation ranked as the most fearsome one apart from his own.
Half an hour went by!
"Boom!"
A Sword Qi stretching a mile sliced the Spirit Tribulation cleanly in half!
The Spirit Tribulation scattered into nothingness.
Xiaoqi triumphed over the Spirit Tribulation successfully.
"Good kid, what a show!"
Chen Xuan couldn't hold back his admiration at that instant.
The display outshone anything from his earlier breakthroughs.
"Xiaoqi is the greatest!"
Lan Meng'er glowed with joy, her earlier fear vanished, pride shining on her face as she gazed at Xiaoqi.
This was her boy!
"Rumble..."
A beam of golden light poured down, enveloping Xiaoqi who soaked in the radiance, drawing in the vital essence from heaven and earth, while radiating the mighty presence of the Dao Realm.
"Do you know the true origin of the Spirit Tribulation?"
Chen Xuan turned to the rabbit.
This was within the Primordial Realm, where he reigned as lord, yet the Spirit Tribulation and golden beam broke through the realm's barriers without him detecting their source.
"I don't know."
The rabbit shook its head slowly. "Even those ancient old monsters probably don't know the Spirit Tribulation's true source."
Long ago, a mighty expert probed into it, only to meet a grim end... dead!
Struck down by a bolt of lightning from nowhere!
Not even bones remained.
After that, curiosity lingered, but no one dared investigate further.
"Fine, let's return and let Xiaoqi absorb it properly on his own."
Saying this, he led Lan Meng'er away.
The rabbit dove back to the lake's depths for cultivation; restoring its power was its top priority now.
Quicker recovery meant better odds of advancing.
...
Great Yu Imperial Palace, Qixuan Hall.
Emperor Yu halted his brush abruptly while sifting through memorials.
Immediately after, the surrounding space quivered.
This was Great Yu's Imperial City!
Its spatial stability outmatched even the Three Judicial Departments' Library Pavilion.
Yet it trembled right then.
Within the Nine Palace Star Array, the National Preceptor's aged eyes snapped open, his face twisting in shock, vanishing from the formation the next instant.
"Have they arrived?"
The National Preceptor materialized in Qixuan Hall.
"They have!"
"I figured they wouldn't pass up this chance."
Emperor Yu had risen, his look grave; only that power could send a transmission straight into the palace via the array.
He'd expected more time, but they struck sooner than anticipated.
Right then, a shaft of white light plunged from above.
Emperor Yu and the National Preceptor fixed their gaze on the airborne white light, where a shadowy figure lurked indistinctly.
Slowly, the light faded, unveiling the figure's real shape.
A golden imperial decree hovered silently in the air.
Exchanging glances, Emperor Yu and the National Preceptor bowed deeply in respect.
"Greetings, Emperor Venerable!"
Emperor Venerable!
Even Emperor Yu, sovereign of the Eastern Continent, bowed reverently to the golden decree.
News of this would unleash a tempest!
As they paid homage, the airborne decree unfurled gradually, unleashing boundless imperial might that dwarfed even Emperor Yu.
"By order!"
A voice of ultimate authority echoed through Qixuan Hall.
"Master of the Eastern Continent, Qin Yu, shall unlock the Transmission Channels to the Western Continent, Northern Continent, Southern Continent, and Central Continent."
"Guide the promising youths of the four continents into the Dao Domain!"
"Fail not!"
"As you command, Emperor Venerable!"
Emperor Yu bowed once more, and the decree folded itself, dropping into his grasp.
"The Emperor Venerable's might defies comprehension!"
The National Preceptor murmured, still reeling.
That imperial pressure weighed on him heavily.
This was merely a decree; the true presence... beyond imagination!
"Millions of years back, the Emperor Venerable took that ultimate stride."
Emperor Yu intoned gravely.
Millions of years prior, the Emperor Venerable unified the Central Continent with grand divine arts linking all four others.
Yet he shunned ruling all five continents.
Instead, he passed the portal-opening rites to each continent's lord.
Channels activate only with voluntary consent from all.
Thus, the four continents hailed him Emperor Venerable.
Yet a million years ago, he decreed: should the Dao Domain of Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern continents wane, it would admit the young elites of the others one final time.
The motive behind the decree remained a mystery,
But none in the Eastern, Western, Southern, or Northern continents dared protest.
"When will Your Majesty activate the Transmission Channels?"
"No haste; time it near the Dao Domain's awakening. No deadline was set by the Emperor Venerable, so we're safe."
Emperor Yu replied firmly.
"Incidentally, how soon until the Dao Domain opens?"
Emperor Yu queried the National Preceptor.
"Under three years, though the entry zone stays steady, pinning the precise moment is tough!"
Emperor Yu pondered in silence.
Less than three years!
"This round, who knows how many from Great Yu will emerge alive."
