Shen Haoran stared at the small world with its distinct heaven and earth, completely bewildered. He remembered Elder Yan saying that the small worlds of those who had just advanced to the Spirit Marquis Tier were mostly chaotic. Even as they developed over time, they shouldn’t have such a clear separation.

Moreover, this small world was intrinsically linked to one’s own Spiritual Attribute. For example, for a Fire Attribute Martial Artist, the small world would be a land of magma. For a Water Attribute Martial Artist, it would be a vast ocean. For an Earth Attribute Martial Artist, a desert. For a Wood Attribute, a forest, and for a Gold Attribute, a Sword Forest. In short, a situation like Shen Haoran’s had never been seen before.

’Could it be because I possess the Chaos Divine Body and have all the Five Elements Attributes?’ A sharp glint flashed through Shen Haoran’s eyes as he immediately realized the reason.

The Chaos Divine Body required gathering the Five Great Celestial Spirits, and when all Five Elements were present, creating another world was not impossible. This was why the small world within Shen Haoran’s Dantian was so different from those of Martial Artists with a single attribute. His was a microcosm of the world he lived in. Once he gathered all Five Great Celestial Spirits, perhaps the small world inside his body could truly give birth to life!

At this thought, Shen Haoran couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. ’Creating a world! Who else in this world could do that?’

Gazing at the gray, hazy small world, a satisfied smile touched the corners of Shen Haoran’s lips. He murmured in his heart, ’In the beginning was Chaos, before heaven and earth were separated. I’ll call you the Primordial Realm!’

The moment Shen Haoran finished speaking, the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian transformed into a long dragon and dove directly into the Primordial Realm. It began to twist and turn amidst the gray mist, having the time of its life!

Shen Haoran paid no mind to the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian. Opening his eyes, he held out his palm, and gray Spiritual Power slowly surged forth to envelop it. His Spiritual Power had been black before, due to the Refinement of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian. Now, after establishing the Primordial Realm, it had turned gray.

Gazing at the gray Spiritual Power, Shen Haoran frowned slightly. It carried the auras of five different attributes, but a Martial Artist could have two different types of Spiritual Power in their body at most. ’If anyone finds out I have five, I’ll probably be captured and studied like a guinea pig!’ Shen Haoran had no desire to expose his secret. With a single thought, the gray Spiritual Power was concealed, turning black once more and radiating a scorching aura. Feeling the intense heat, Shen Haoran nodded in satisfaction.

"Tier One Spirit Marquis. Not bad!" Shen Haoran casually threw a few punches. The force of his fists created a whistling wind, its power astonishing.

CRACK... CRACK... However, before Shen Haoran could feel happy, a shattering sound suddenly echoed from within his Dantian. He froze for a moment, then quickly sank his Heart Spirit into the Primordial Realm inside his Dantian.

Arriving in the Primordial Realm, Shen Haoran looked down, his brows tightly knitted. The ground below was covered in white cracks, and from these cracks seeped an extremely familiar aura.

’This is... Elder Yan’s Spiritual Thought aura!’ Shen Haoran thought, shocked. ’How can Elder Yan’s aura be in my small world?’ He was deeply puzzled.

Immediately, Shen Haoran’s figure flashed and disappeared from the Primordial Realm. When he reappeared, he was in his Sea of Consciousness.

In the Sea of Consciousness, a golden Celestial Ladder floated slowly in mid-air. On top of the Celestial Ladder, a phantom-like figure sat with its eyes tightly closed. Wisps of golden Energy flowed into the phantom-like figure, seeming to nourish it.

This figure was precisely Elder Yan. During the great battle with the black monster, Elder Yan had over-expended his power and was now recuperating on the Chaos Celestial Ladder. Shen Haoran didn’t know what the Chaos Celestial Ladder was for, and with his current strength, he couldn’t activate it either. However, the fact that it could nourish Elder Yan’s Spiritual Thought was a pleasant surprise to him.

Stepping onto the top of the ladder, Shen Haoran walked up to Elder Yan and called out softly, "Elder Yan? Elder Yan..."

After a while, Elder Yan’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened. He looked extremely weak. In truth, Elder Yan had already recovered a great deal. After the battle with the black monster, he had fallen into a deep slumber. If the Chaos Celestial Ladder hadn’t been nourishing his Spiritual Thought constantly for the past month, he probably wouldn’t have woken up even now.

"What’s wrong?" Elder Yan asked softly.

Shen Haoran then told Elder Yan about the situation in the Primordial Realm.

Hearing this, Elder Yan also frowned. After a long moment, he finally spoke. "You’re saying my Spiritual Thought Power is in your small world? That must be from when you borrowed my power; it’s still lingering in your body. When you created your small world, my power mixed into it, which is now causing it to be unstable.

"Once a small world is unstable, it’s in danger of collapsing whenever you try to break through. You need to resolve this as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck at Tier One Spirit Marquis for the rest of your life. This is the consequence of overusing external power!"

Hearing this, Shen Haoran’s expression turned bitter. He’d had no choice but to borrow Elder Yan’s power; otherwise, there was no way he could have killed that black monster. But now, looking at the crack-filled Primordial Small World, he felt utterly helpless. ’How am I supposed to repair this small world?’

"The Profound Yellow Pill! A Sixth Grade Elixir, the Profound Yellow Pill, can force my power out and repair your small world. However, the main ingredient for refining the Profound Yellow Pill, the Profound Yellow Fruit, is extremely hard to find. It will all depend on your luck!" Elder Yan said softly, looking at the worried Shen Haoran.

Upon hearing this, Shen Haoran’s face lit up. He repeated aloud, "The Profound Yellow Pill and the Profound Yellow Fruit? I will definitely find them!"

"Until then, do your best to suppress any urge to break through. If you’re careless for even a moment and the small world shatters, your Cultivation will be completely destroyed!" Elder Yan warned gravely. Shen Haoran nodded in understanding. ’I worked so hard to advance to the Spirit Marquis Tier; I’m not about to throw it all away by courting death.’

"Alright. I must now enter deep seclusion for a while, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you. You’re on your own from here on out," Elder Yan said, looking at Shen Haoran before him with a gratified expression.

A guilty expression appeared on Shen Haoran’s face. He was largely responsible for Elder Yan’s current weakened state. ’If I had been stronger, I wouldn’t have had to overuse Elder Yan’s power and leave him so feeble.’

"Don’t worry, Elder Yan. I’ll be careful," Shen Haoran said in a low voice.

"Haha, I believe in you. An eagle must eventually soar through the heavens alone. I can’t help you much. Everything is up to you now!" Elder Yan closed his eyes, his voice growing weaker and weaker until it faded away. Then, wisps of golden Energy rose from the Chaos Celestial Ladder, enveloping Elder Yan in a golden cocoon of light.

Gazing at Elder Yan within the golden cocoon of light, Shen Haoran clenched his fists and vowed in his heart, ’Elder Yan, I will not let you down!’...
