Chapter 1032: Chapter 1022: Seclusion

In the gray and hazy Mirror Moon Space, the scene shifted, transforming directly into the scene inside the Cultivation Hall of Black Water Immortal Mountain.

As soon as the simulated Divine Ancestor Douzhan appeared, Chen Hai let out a low roar, clenched his fist, and charged directly at him.

With one punch, the Divine Ancestor Douzhan, who was just within reach, had already vanished without a trace.

With another punch, Chen Hai made a sweeping blow, but there was no follow-up…

Amidst the dazzling sword light, he still couldn’t clearly see where the Divine Ancestor Douzhan was, and his awareness became blurred. By the time he regained his clarity, he was already kicked out of the Mirror Moon Space, appearing outside in the extremely rudimentary cave mansion.

“Was I instantly killed?”

Gasping for breath, Chen Hai finally reacted after a while.

“When facing the Emperor Pan Ancestor, I could withstand ten or eight moves.”

“After refining that Hongmeng Purple Qi, my strength should have increased significantly. If I challenge the Emperor Pan Ancestor now, I should be able to hold on for a few more moves.”

“But against the Divine Ancestor Douzhan, I couldn’t even withstand a single move?”

“Both are Primordial Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals; how can the Divine Ancestor Douzhan be so absurdly strong?”

Frowning, Chen Hai muttered to himself.

Originally, after being able to withstand ten or eight moves from the Emperor Pan Ancestor, his confidence had increased significantly, believing that the strength of a high and mighty Primordial Chaos Daluo seemed to be just so-so.

Especially after he successfully wiped out an awareness of the Supreme Xuanyuan, his confidence had soared to an extreme.

But now, after being thoroughly beaten by the simulated Divine Ancestor Douzhan, he had calmed down considerably and regained much of his clarity.

“Even though both are Primordial Chaos Daluo, compared to the Emperor Pan Ancestor and Supreme Xuanyuan, the Divine Ancestor Douzhan is far, far stronger.”

“I just don’t know if the result is because those two are too weak or if the Divine Ancestor Douzhan is just too strong.”

“With such strength, the Divine Ancestor Douzhan must be his true form; there’s no way it’s just an avatar.”

“Thankfully, when facing him, I suppressed the irritation in my heart and didn’t impulsively make a move. Otherwise…”

With a hint of helplessness, Chen Hai sighed deeply.

To say, when facing the Divine Ancestor Douzhan that day, had he thought of just swinging his fist directly at him? The answer is definitely yes.

After all, in the Mirror Moon Space, he had already battled the simulated Divine Ancestor Douzhan more than once or twice.

Having been able to withstand ten or eight moves from the Emperor Pan Ancestor, he wasn’t completely without confidence in directly confronting the Divine Ancestor Douzhan.

At the level of a Primordial Chaos Daluo powerhouse, it seems that the true form has never descended into the Primordial world. If the Divine Ancestor Douzhan appearing before him was merely an avatar, then with his strength, he might not be a hopeless opponent.

However, considering that the place where he and the Divine Ancestor Douzhan were located was within his own Cave Heaven World, Chen Hai was worried that their battle’s aftermath would shatter the Cave Heaven World to pieces.

Additionally, the appearance of the Divine Ancestor Douzhan was so bizarre that when facing him, his heart frantically warned him as if the moment he made a move, a great terror would befall.

It was because of these reasons that as soon as the thought of punching the Divine Ancestor Douzhan appeared in Chen Hai’s mind, he immediately dispelled it.

Thinking back now, Chen Hai felt a lingering fear, and he was extremely grateful.

If at that moment he had truly swung a punch, both he and anyone else in the Cave Heaven World might have turned to dust and vanished.

“When Divine Ancestor Douzhan left, he only mentioned that after some time, I should go to the Land of Slumber under the name of the War God Palace, but he never specified how long ‘some time’ actually is!”

“I am still too weak right now. While I still have some time, I should continue cultivating and try to increase my strength as much as possible!”

“After refining that Hongmeng Purple Qi, although I haven’t stepped into the Late Period of Quasi-Saint, I have already touched that barrier.”

“If I’m lucky, perhaps it’ll only take ten or eight years to successfully advance further and step into the Late Period of Quasi-Saint.”

“Though not becoming Primordial Chaos is ultimately still being an ant, as a Late Period Quasi-Saint, my ability to protect myself will certainly be much stronger.”

“For powerhouses like Divine Ancestor Douzhan, time has long since lost its meaning. I hope the ‘sometime’ he mentioned can last a bit longer to allow me to break through successfully!”

…

Frowning, while muttering to himself, Chen Hai waved his hand and moved a mountain to seal off the newly opened cave mansion directly.

This time, as he retreats to enhance his strength, he is not planning to return to Black Water Immortal Mountain.

After all, considering the recent incident where Divine Ancestor Douzhan silently appeared in his retreat location, Chen Hai now understood that no matter how well he hid, it seemed to make no difference.

In the Cave Heaven World, there are his wife and son, his confidante, and many of his disciples.

No matter where he hides, since Divine Ancestor Douzhan will always find him, it’s better to just find a random place on the Primordial land to retreat.

That way, when the Divine Ancestor Douzhan looks for him to go to the Land of Slumber, others won’t accidentally suffer collateral damage.

After moving a mountain and setting up countless arrays and prohibitions to completely seal the simple cave mansion, Chen Hai took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

On the Primordial Land, the mainstream Quasi-Saint cultivation method is undoubtedly the Three Corpses Cutting Method.

In practicing this method, to advance from the Mid Period of Quasi-Saint to the Late Period requires an Innate Spiritual Treasure to bear one’s Three Corpses Avatar.

Chen Hai’s cultivation method, however, is the Six Desires Hongmeng Heavenly Skill that he created himself.

For cultivating this technique, one only needs to comprehend various laws extended from the Path of Seven Emotions and Six Desires to a certain extent and then integrate them into oneself.

After refining the Hongmeng Purple Qi and digesting the mysteries it contains, in terms of law comprehension, Chen Hai has actually met the standard to advance to the Late Period of Quasi-Saint.

It is precisely because of this reason that he is qualified to touch the breakthrough barrier.

To speak truthfully, regarding the extension laws of the Path of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Chen Hai’s comprehension has not yet reached an extreme.

If he wishes, he can continue comprehending until the laws comprehended truly accumulate to the limit of what he can contain, and then consider breaking through.

In that case, breaking through the barrier to step into the Late Period of Quasi-Saint would naturally be much easier.

However, Chen Hai no longer wants to consider so much. After all, comprehending the laws consumes a vast amount of time. Immersed in the state of Path Enlightenment, accidentally, it may well be a millennium or longer.

The appearance of Divine Ancestor Douzhan makes him feel extremely pressed.

Since he has already touched the breakthrough barrier, he is not prepared to delay any further and intends to try breaking through first.
