After glancing at the group chat for a while, Mo Tu continued by provoking Ruoxian, claiming that he was going to strip her naked!
Ruoxian was so angry that she started to quarrel with him.
Chu Xuan was speechless. Mo Tu was a troll, and not one of the good sort.
'Keep quarreling, keep quarreling.'
The Daoyuan realm cultivations arguing in the group chat was a good thing for the Origin Dao Crystal; it would be able to absorb even more Dao aura this way.Furthermore, some Daoyuan realm insights would be infused into the Dao aura, which would help the Origin Dao Crystal to perfect its Great Dao.
Chu Xuan examined the system reward.
"The Myriad Races Atlas records all the races that have existed in the history of the nine zones (including the extinct races) , their details, their influence, and so on..."
This reward had come at the right time. Chu Xuan was lacking in terms of his understanding of the various races.
With the Myriad Races Atlas, he could gain an understanding of the races that had existed in the history of the nine zones, including the extinct races.
Chu Xuan was very curious. Did the Myriad Races Atlas really record the extinct races accurately?
When he chose to receive the reward, a thick book appeared in his hand.Chu Xuan did not choose to have the knowledge instilled into his mind directly. Instead, he took it out and slowly flipped through it. He could use it to pass the time while he stayed in his courtyard.
When he flipped open the Myriad Races Atlas, the first page was an introduction of the myriad races and a note from which point in time the myriad races in the nine zones would be counted.
"The Myriad Races Atlas records the various races that exist (or have existed) in the nine regions from the end of the last Great Dao era to this Great Dao era."
There was also a line of small words explaining the Great Dao era.
"Nine Daoyuans represent one Great Dao era. Each Great Dao era exists for an unfixed period of time. Every nine Great Daoyuan Calamities will usher in a Great Dao Calamity. Once the Great Dao Calamity ends, the next Great Dao era..."
Looking at the note on the Atlas of the ten thousand races, Chu Xuan was shocked. He felt that he had learned some secrets of the Great Dao.
Every nine Daoyuans was a Great Dao era.
What if there were nine Great Dao eras?
That was too far away. The duration of a single Great Dao era was already very long.
What caught Chu Xuan's attention the most was that every nine Great Daoyuan Calamities would usher in a Great Dao Calamity. This represented the end of this Great Dao era and the beginning of the next Great Dao era.
Did it mean that the Great Dao would restart and regenerate all living things after a Great Dao era?
Chu Xuan suddenly understood. The Chaos Indestructible Body and the Chaos Bell referred to the Great Dao Calamity.
In that case, he only needed to work hard to increase his strength and did not need to worry about the Great Dao Calamity, right?
Chu Xuan continued to flip through the pages. The page after that displayed an extraordinary figure who exuded a sacred and mighty aura.
"The celestial race rose up during the third Great Dao era. After going through many ups and downs, they became known for their strength and were revered by all living beings. At the end of the eighth Great Dao era, they disappeared from the nine zones..."
The celestial race!
From the introduction of the celestial race, Chu Xuan deduced which Great Dao era he was in.
The Myriad Races Atlas started from the end of the last Great Dao era. The celestial race disappeared at the end of the eighth Great Dao era. Was that not the last Great Dao Era?
So, it was now the ninth Great Dao era?
What Great Calamity would descend at the end of the ninth Great Dao eras?
With this thought in mind, Chu Xuan's heart tightened. He seemed to have uncovered an incredible secret.
If this Great Daoyuan Calamity also happened to be the ninth Great Daoyuan Calamity, would that not mean that after the Great Daoyuan Calamity, they would not be entering the next Daoyuan, nor the next Great Dao era, but something even greater?
Thinking this, Chu Xuan felt his scalp go numb.
He calmed his mind. Although the end of this Daoyuan was approaching, as well as the end of the ninth Great Dao era, there was still a long time before the Great Daoyuan Calamity would arrive. Moreover, he did not yet know if this would be the ninth Daoyuan calamity.
Therefore, he still had enough time to become stronger. He would be able to overcome these calamities.
Chu Xuan was even more determined to carry out the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan. Perhaps he would be able to handle the calamities once the nine zones were covered by the Heavenly Dao laws.
To do this, the Origin Dao Crystal needed to be upgraded as soon as possible.
Chu Xuan speculated that Hong Yuanchu and the others did not know about the Great Dao calamity. According to his speculation, the two Daoyuan realm experts that Hong Yuanchu had invited were also considered juniors.
However, he did not know where Daoyuan realm cultivators cultivated. There had to be quite a number of Daoyuan realm cultivators since the beginning of the Great Dao era. Where were they hiding?
Chu Xuan continued to flip through the pages.
On the second page, there was an otherworldly figure exuding an immortal and untouchable aura.
"The immortal race rose up during the third Great Dao era. Despite experiencing challenges, they remained exalted and mighty. They were revered and yearned for by all living creatures. At the end of the eighth Great Dao era, they disappeared from the nine zones..."
On the third page, there was a ferocious and terrifying figure filled with bloodthirsty aura.
"The demon race rose up during the third Great Dao era. They went through many battles, but were never destroyed. They were feared by all living creatures. The pure-blooded demon race disappeared from the nine zones at the end of the eighth Great Dao era. There are some non-pure-blooded demons who are active in the ninth Great Dao era..."
After looking at the celestial, immortal, and demon races, Chu Xuan found a common point. These three races rose up during the third Great Dao era and also disappeared at the end of the eighth Great Dao era.
Only the demon race had left behind non-pure-blooded descendants, which was the current demon race.
The introductions also confirmed that they were currently in the ninth Great Dao era.
At the same time, Chu Xuan also noticed a key piece of information. All three clans had only disappeared from the nine zones and were not completely destroyed.
Did this mean that the three races existed somewhere outside the nine zones?
Was there a world beyond the nine zones?
Chu Xuan was extremely puzzled.
From the rise of the three races during the third Great Dao era to their disappearance at the end of the eighth Great Dao era, these three races had always been incomparably powerful. They were revered or feared by all living beings.
So these three races had dominated the third Great Dao era to the eighth Great Dao era?
Why would such powerful three races disappear during the eighth Great Dao era? Was the eighth Great Dao calamity so terrifying that even the three races, who had gone through several Great Dao calamities, were unable to withstand it?
Did the Great Dao calamity get stronger each time?
Would the ninth Great Dao calamity be even more terrifying?
Chu Xuan flipped to the fourth page.
"The monster race was active during the third Great Dao era. There were many types of monster tribes. There were also overlord tribes among them such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin. These overlord tribes disappeared in the nine zones at the end of the eighth Great Dao era, leaving behind the remaining monster tribes that continued to stay active in the nine zones."
There was also other information on the monster tribe classifications...
The fourth page was about the monster race. To Chu Xuan's surprise, there were records of the legendary divine beasts such as the dragons, phoenixes, and qilins.
One had to know that there were no legends about dragons, phoenixes, and qilins in the nine zones.
Apparently, this was because they had disappeared at the end of the eighth Great Dao era.
The current monster race only comprised remnants of the past monster race.
Chu Xuan became more and more curious. What exactly had happened during the eighth Great Dao era that so many powerful races disappeared?
He continued to flip to the fifth page.
When he saw what was on the fifth page, Chu Xuan was stunned. The race recorded on the fifth page was beyond his expectations.
