After following the old woman for a while, Ye Tianze felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes spying on him, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.
However, he couldn't see anything in the darkness. His curiosity drove him away and he wanted to stray from the ancient path, but he was soon warned by the old woman.
"Don't come into contact with those things. If they target you, they will suck your flesh and blood dry." The old woman calmly said. "Now that you have come here, you must first learn to accept your fate."
"I don't accept my fate!" Ye Tianze said. "If I accepted my fate, I wouldn't be here today."
The old woman didn't turn around. She continued walking. "Many people who come here are like you. They aren't willing to accept their fate. In the end, they all died."
"I'm not afraid of death." Ye Tianze calmly said.
The old woman turned around and glanced at him, a bit of surprise in her eyes. But she soon turned back and continued walking.
About two hours later, light suddenly appeared in the darkness. This was a connected manor. Around the wooden houses, there were lanterns lit. But, these lanterns could only illuminate a few dozen feet and were unable to penetrate the darkness.
Arriving in front of the manor, the old woman extinguished the lantern in her hand. Before they even entered the manor, Ye Tianze smelled an extremely unpleasant odor. From within the manor came a bubbling sound, as if something was being cooked. It had already begun to boil.
Ye Tianze followed the old woman in. He saw that there was a fire burning within the house. There was a stove hanging above the fire and the bubbling sound was coming from the stove.
It was unknown what was being cooked in the stove, but it emitted black steam and a strange odor.
Ye Tianze didn't know what this was, but he felt hungry. But, he absolutely didn't want to eat this.
The old woman picked up a ladle and took out several dozen bowls. She neatly arranged them outside the wooden house. Then, she lifted the stove and used a ladle to scoop up the black paste into the bowls.
When every bowl was filled to the brim, the old woman looked outside the manor and said, "It's time to eat!"
Soon after, the sound of rustling footsteps could be heard. In the darkness, a red light lit up. Only when they walked closer did they realize that they were pairs of eyes.
A group of people on all fours walked in. Their eyes were scarlet red, their skin was sallow, and they were so thin that they were only skin and bones. They came to the front of his bowl, pushed each other, and lined up neatly. However, they did not eat the food in the bowl.
They seemed to be waiting for the old woman's order. Only when the old woman raised her hand did they approach the bowl, stick out their tongues, and lick the black paste clean.
Seeing them eating so happily, Ye Tianze also felt his stomach rumble. The old woman scooped a bowl for him and put it aside, saying, "Originally, you didn't have anything to eat on your first day here, but you're a little different, so you don't have to work and eat first."
Ye Tianze carefully looked at the food in the bowl. Although it was steaming, it was difficult to swallow and even felt a little nauseous.
He had once eaten raw meat and drank blood, but he had never seen such a disgusting thing.
Moreover, he found that the thing in the bowl was still slowly wriggling, as if the thing inside was still alive.
Seeing that Ye Tianze did not eat, the old woman raised her hand, and the bowl of paste immediately fell outside. The people on all fours immediately fought for it, and in a short while, they licked it clean.
Ye Tianze felt even hungrier.
However, he still had no intention of lowering his head.
The old woman scooped up the paste and ate it herself, saying, "Do you think you're here as a guest? No, you've been exiled here. If I don't want you to die, it'll be difficult for you to die even if you want to. "
"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die either. However, I won't eat these things," Ye Tianze said.
"This is the lowest level of the earth vein, and it's full of filth. The only thing produced here is Purple Crystals, and these things can't provide Chaos Yuan Qi for cultivation."
The old woman said, "Don't think too much. I've been here for ten thousand years, and I haven't found anything for cultivation. Even food is very scarce. With your cultivation, if you don't have Chaos Yuan Qi to replenish yourself, you'll be skinny in less than half a month. At that time, you won't have the strength to mine. I'm warning you, there's a quota for mining every month. If you don't reach this quota, you'll be punished!"
Ye Tianze's face was cold, and he did not speak.
"Did you see those dark things on the way here? They're creatures that live in the dark, and they feed on flesh and blood. If you don't get enough, I'll send you in for three days and three nights. "
As she said, the old woman pointed at a person not far away, saying, "Do you see him? He used to be a Rank Nine Mystic Moon expert, but after three days and three nights, he lost his consciousness, and can only maintain his body's instincts. "
"Other than feeding on flesh and blood, they can also devour a person's consciousness?" Ye Tianze asked.
"That's something else." The old woman said with a smile, "Do you want to rest? Choose any room you want, but you won't need it soon. Here, you should learn how to live with darkness, and light doesn't belong to you. "
Ye Tianze left the wooden house, and came to another room. Before he left, the shackles on his hands were suddenly released.
He turned back to look at the old woman, but she didn't say anything. This reminded him of the old woman's words.
He could escape, but she would definitely not save him.
After Ye Tianze came to the room, he felt the Yuan Qi in his body being depleted. Although the Cycle of Life and Death in his body could produce a portion of Yuan Qi, it was still too little for him, who was supporting all life.
"Your Majesty has cultivated to the Tenth Heaven, but to prevent the Cycle of Life and Death from being discovered in the future, it's best to cultivate according to the method of the Chaotic World."
The leader of the Holy Spirit Race said.
"The method of the Chaotic World?" Ye Tianze was puzzled.
"It's the Mystic Spirit Realm, Mystic Star Realm, Mystic Moon Realm, Mystic Sun Realm …" The leader said. "The Mystic Spirit Realm is equivalent to the emperor realm in your world. The Mystic Star Realm surpasses the emperor realm, which is His Majesty's current realm."
The leader then explained the method of cultivation. The Mystic Spirit Realm condensed spirit and formed the prototype of a world.
The Mystic Star Condensed Star Realm condensed stars in the world, which were divided into nine levels. Each level had ten stars, and the ninth level had ninety stars.
Of course, there were those who were strong enough to surpass ninety stars.
In the Mystic Moon Realm, one would condense a bright moon. The bright moon would be in the sky, and the stars would shine brightly. The stars and the bright moon would provide endless power to the cultivator.
The Mystic Sun Realm condensed a sun. The sun and moon stood side by side, forming a cycle. One side was a star jade.
This was Nangong Yu's realm. The Mystic Sun Realm was already considered a major power in the Chaotic World.
When the leader of the Sacred Spirit Race said this, Ye Tianze was puzzled. "But there's a universe in my body, and there's no lack of these things in my internal universe!"
"Your Majesty's internal universe is rare. Even in the records of the Sacred Spirit Race, we haven't encountered such a situation."
The leader of the Sacred Spirit Race said. "However, Your Majesty can cultivate with this and see what effect it will have!"
Ye Tianze suddenly thought of the scene he saw when he condensed his internal universe. Within the vortex of his internal universe, there was a vortex, and within the vortex, there was another vortex …
And so it went on and on.
The creatures of the Chaotic World seemed to condense a world and then a universe from a vortex, which was the complete opposite of him.
However, the prerequisite for cultivation was having enough chaos yuan energy. He couldn't absorb any chaos yuan energy at the moment.
After a long while, the old woman's voice suddenly sounded. "It's time to work!"
It was impossible to tell day from night in the darkness, but it must have been a long time ago.
Ye Tianze left the hut and saw the people on all fours lined up neatly in front of the manor, waiting for the old woman's instructions.
"Bring back enough amethyst ore to eat. If you don't, your flesh will be stewed into soup!"
The old woman said coldly.
