I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible
chapter-369-2

Chu Xuan listened silently.

The Great Dao of the nine zones had exceeded his expectations. Even existences like Daoist Flying Cloud could not avoid the effects of the Great Dao calamity.

"The Great Dao of the nine zones is the first Great Dao in the chaos. No one can escape it. We opened our Dao paths based on the Great Dao of the nine zones, not independently in the chaos."

"As far as I know, no one can open a Dao path independently in the chaos."

Although Daoist Flying Cloud had not said it outright, he was already questioning why Chu Xuan was not affected by the Great Dao calamity.

Chu Xuan's face was calm.

"I witnessed the birth of the Great Dao of the nine zones and gained some enlightenment, from which I opened my Dao path. After that, I traveled through the chaos. Perhaps because of that, I'm not affected by the Great Dao calamity."

'Come and worship me.'

'Even if you're an ancient cultivator, you're still a junior compared to me.'

'I've experienced the birth of the chaos and the Great Dao of the nine zones anyway'.

Chu Xuan was not worried at all that he would reveal any flaws. In terms of understanding of chaos, no one could compare to him. In addition, he was currently cultivating the Chaos Scripture.

Others might not be able to open a Dao path in the chaos, but Chu Xuan could use the Chaos Scripture to do so.

Although he could, Chu Xuan did not plan on doing so. He would stick to his Heavenly Dao Talisman plan.

Daoist Flying Cloud's heart skipped a beat. The other party was actually such an ancient existence?

Did this not mean that he was even stronger than him?

It made sense then, that Daoist Chu Xuan had managed to find him, but he had failed to find any traces of Chu Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is actually such an existence!"

Daoist Flying Cloud sighed.

"Although I have been around for a long time, I don't know much about the current nine zones and the Ancient Chaos World. I hope Fellow Daoist Flying Cloud can enlighten me."

"Exploring the chaos is extremely difficult, and sometimes I even feel like it's a waste of time."

Chu Xuan sighed.

Then, the two of them continued to talk about the nine zones, the Ancient Chaos World, and the mysteries of chaos.

It was inevitable for them to test each other.

Chu Xuan learned that Daoist Flying Cloud could not enter the nine zones.

The immortal, celestial, and demon races could not set foot in the nine zones, and would be rejected if they got too close.

Chu Xuan was very curious. Why were the three races expelled from the nine zones by the Great Dao?

Daoist Flying Cloud did not elaborate, simply saying that the three races had been too ambitious and touched upon some taboos.

Chu Xuan suspected that the taboo mentioned by Daoist Flying Cloud was most likely related to an attempt to control the Great Dao of the nine zones!

This was worrying. In this case, could his Heavenly Dao Talisman plan really succeed?

Would he end up like the three races?

Chu Xuan felt that he needed to sort out his plan properly to avoid the same outcome.

Right now, Daoist Flying Cloud was outside the nine zones. What had drawn him there was the impending Great Dao calamity.

As an existence who had transcended the Great Dao calamity, he knew very well how terrifying it was.

There had once been an extremely powerful celestial race saint who was above him in terms of seniority and strength. He had even transcended more than one Great Dao calamity. Despite this, he had died during the last Great Dao calamity.

Chu Xuan mentioned the ominous beings of the nine zones and asked in a curious tone if such a thing had ever appeared in the previous Great Daoyuan calamities in the nine zones.

It was then he found out that ominous beings had appeared more than once in the nine zones' Great Daoyuan calamities.

The most serious one was when the ominous beings spread all over the nine zones, and countless races were wiped out and transformed into ominous beings. Furthermore, even after the Great Daoyuan calamity ended, the ominous beings did not disappear; appearing randomly in the nine zones or in ominous battlefields.

Daoist Flying Cloud mentioned that an ominous race had once appeared in the nine zones as well. They were extremely powerful, and the immortal, celestial, and demon races had to join forces to destroy them.

Chu Xuan was shocked.

The strength of the ominous race was evident just from this fact alone.

After understanding the ominous beings of the past, the current ominous beings were just a small matter that was not worth mentioning.

They exchanged information. Chu Xuan learned about the history of the three races from Daoist Flying Cloud, which naturally involved the history of the nine zones, as well as the situation in the Ancient Chaos World.

In return, Daoist Flying Cloud asked him about the mysteries of the chaos.

Chu Xuan gave out some relatively unimportant ones.

Finally, he asked about the current situation in the nine zones.

Chu Xuan gave a brief explanation without mentioning Ji Dexin, or Fengkong's Jade Crystal Palace, nor the hidden expert in the Western Zone.

Since the three races could not enter the nine zones...

The hidden expert in the Western Zone must have used some sort of medium to lay out his plans while waiting for an opportunity.

The threat was much smaller if that was the case compared to if that hidden expert was in the nine zones.
