In these two hundred years, Wang Xu was not oblivious to outside events; on the contrary, he frequently gathered intelligence.

Among the information about Ancestral Transformation, he had a very detailed and clear understanding.

Ancestral Transformation, rumored to be a grand event of the Six Great Holy Lands, and news about Ancestral Transformation had only recently begun to spread; before this, there had never been any mention of Ancestral Transformation.

Wang Xu inquired for a long time, and finally managed to obtain truly useful intelligence, and when he learned of the destination of Ancestral Transformation, he was even more excited!

The place of Ancestral Transformation is precisely in the greatest forbidden land of the Wufu Divine Palace, within the "Martial God Pavilion"!

"Thank you, Master," Wang Xu said sincerely.

"Haha... This is not just my achievement."

The Mirror Patriarch laughed, "Do you still remember once when I brought an old man in a martial robe to watch your sparring with Sandeng?"

Wang Xu nodded.

Once, when Senior Brother Sandeng sparred with him, the Mirror Patriarch came to watch, accompanied by an old man in a martial robe.

At that time, Wang Xu sensed the extraordinary nature of this old man in the martial robe; even Wang Xu couldn't discern his true strength, he must be an exalted figure like the Eternal Ancestor.

"That was the Wufu Great Emperor," the Mirror Patriarch revealed.

Wufu Great Emperor!

Wang Xu's pupils shrank sharply.

At the time, he only thought the martial-robed elder was extraordinary, perhaps an Eternal Ancestor-level powerhouse, but he never expected it was the Wufu Great Emperor!

"You might have heard, before he became a Great Emperor, I was very close friends with him, braving life and death together! But because of this, after he became a Great Emperor, I seldom met with him," the Mirror Patriarch sighed, "However, this time for your sake, I had to find him; the opportunity of Ancestral Transformation is rare and precious, a chance for you to reach the Ancestor Realm, hence I sought him out and spoke with him at length."

"In the end, he couldn't resist my persistence, so he agreed to come with me to see you, to determine whether you could qualify for a spot in Ancestral Transformation."

The Mirror Patriarch smiled earnestly, "Now the result is out, Wufu was very impressed with you. He said your future achievements are immeasurable, even comparable to 'Dark Night'!"

The Dark Night Saint Venerable was the unparalleled genius Wang Xu encountered in the Profound Dragon Room.

Since Wang Xu broke through the Profound Dragon Room and obtained the Great Emperor's Treasure, the Dark Night Saint Venerable returned to the Wufu Divine Palace, with his formidable Three Forces Cultivation, becoming the undisputed number one Saint Venerable!

"Palace Master praises too highly, I've seen the Dark Night Saint Venerable, his strength is indeed formidable, I feel ashamed in comparison," Wang Xu said.

This unprecedented unparalleled genius, no matter where he went, was surrounded by admiration and reverence, living in the Wufu Divine Palace, how could Wang Xu not know of the Dark Night Saint Venerable's existence?

However, now Wang Xu had altered his appearance, transformed his soul aura, and his achievements in soul power surpassed even that of the Dark Night Saint Venerable, so he recognized the Dark Night Saint Venerable, but the Dark Night Saint Venerable did not recognize Wang Xu at all.

"You don't have to be modest. Given the vision of the Wufu Great Emperor, he would never choose incorrectly. Since you have gained his favor and obtained the qualification for Ancestral Transformation, you should cherish it well, and not disappoint the goodwill of the Mirror and Wufu Great Emperor," the Mirror Patriarch said.

"Master, I will not let you down!" Wang Xu nodded confidently.

"Haha! That's the disciple of the Mirror!"

...

The qualification for Ancestral Transformation has been obtained, and Wang Xu will soon be able to confirm whether the Core of Chaos is within the Wufu Divine Palace.

"The key now is how I convey this information out," Wang Xu thought to himself.

Now stationed in Kedan, with Kedan and Fengye stirring up a chaos war, he must find a way to transmit the information.

Otherwise, even if Wang Xu knows the location of the Core of Chaos, the Emperor's people of Fengye would be unaware, and the outcome would remain unchanged.

"War... perhaps I can leverage the war,"

Wang Xu pondered, "Since it's a war, it certainly requires manpower replenishment, by then I just need to apply to participate in the war, I could go to the Outer Nine Heavens, and further use this chance to return to Fengye!"

The chaos war is a war of the entire Chaos.

Those below the Saint Venerable Realm might not contribute much, but those above the Saint Venerable Realm are formidable combat strength; if Wang Xu voluntarily requests to participate in the war, he can use this to convey information to the Emperor's people of Fengye.

"Everything is ready, only waiting for Ancestral Transformation; if through this opportunity I can truly step into the Ancestor Realm, that would be wonderful!"

Achieving the Ancestor Realm is far rarer than achieving the Saint Venerable Realm.

The path of Cultivation becomes more arduous the higher one climbs.

Throughout Kedan, the number of powerful cultivators is not fewer than Fengye, yet there are significantly fewer Ancestors emerging compared to Fengye.

This is not only a problem of the Chaotic Cosmos itself but also an issue with the cultivators themselves.

Only by constantly treading the line between life and death, squeezing one's potential under great danger, can one have the slightest chance of reaching the Ancestor Realm.

Among ten thousand Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm cultivators, being able to have one breakthrough to the Ancestor Realm is already considered very fortunate.

Usually, it takes one hundred thousand Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm cultivators to barely have one cross Reincarnation and achieve the Ancestor Realm.

As for those who fail, they can only continue to attempt, hoping that one day, by a stroke of fate, they can cross Reincarnation.

"Crossing Reincarnation is even harder than the Myriad Transformations Cosmic Tribulation; even though my Three Forces Cultivation has reached Perfection, it doesn't guarantee I'll definitely cross Reincarnation," Wang Xu sighed, shaking his head.

Wang Xu is now in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, with Three Forces Cultivation, his strength has little room for improvement.

Only crossing Reincarnation, becoming an Ancestor Realm, can vastly increase his strength.

Therefore, he had long begun to understand everything about Crossing Reincarnation.

Crossing Reincarnation is more like attaining enlightenment.

Transforming the path one has walked into reincarnation; when a cultivator successfully reaches the other shore, his Inner Cosmos will turn into a monument to hold all his past.

But too many people cannot cross it.

If there are fetters in the heart, desires, things that cannot be let go, or insufficient strength, the path of reincarnation cannot clearly manifest, or perhaps the other shore does not appear, leaving no end in sight... countless factors can influence the final result of crossing reincarnation.

"Now, let's see if this Ancestral Transformation can help me cross reincarnation."

Quickly crossing reincarnation and giving birth to the Ancestor Realm, whether it truly is as miraculous as the rumors say, Wang Xu can only wait in anticipation.

...

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed again.

But this day was destined to be extraordinary.

"Have all the little Saint Venerables of the Six Great Holy Lands gathered?"

At the Wufu Divine Hall, an elder in martial robes, kind and amiable, surveyed the thirteen geniuses from various Holy Lands below.

Wufu Great Emperor.

His aura was ordinary, no different from an ordinary Ancestor Realm. If unaware, one might not recognize him as the guardian of the Wufu Divine Palace, one of the strongest cultivators of Kedan!

"Reporting to the Palace Master, all the little ones from the Six Great Holy Lands are here," Feng Qiu the Ancestor respectfully said.

"Good, then let's set off."

Wufu Great Emperor nodded, waved a hand, and with thirteen people including Wang Xu, instantly left the Wufu Divine Hall.

Across the vast starry sky, a splendid Star River hung overhead. Wang Xu took one glance and felt as if he was inside the boundless cosmos, reminiscent of the scenes back in the Ancient Luo Cosmos.

This was a pavilion, and beneath their feet were the most ordinary wooden planks.

"Follow me."

The moment Wufu Great Emperor spoke, everyone's mind trembled, withdrawing their gaze from the vast stars.

"That starry sky just now seemed to almost draw my soul in. What kind of place is this?" Wang Xu pondered silently.

Although puzzled, Wang Xu quickly followed Wufu Great Emperor, opened the pavilion door, and walked inside.

A tunnel?

They entered a deep, dark tunnel. Even in the Saint Venerable Realm, they couldn't see anything inside the tunnel, only the sound of footsteps guiding them as they followed Wufu Great Emperor forward.

"Hey!"

As the group walked silently, suddenly a voice entered Wang Xu's mind.

"Hm?" Wang Xu responded.

"Haha, finally someone responds to me!" The voice seemed joyful. "Let me introduce myself, I come from the Li Shui Clan, and I am Li Shui Shen Long!"

"Wufu Divine Palace, Gu Luo," Wang Xu introduced simply.

"Oh? You're from Wufu Divine Palace? It seems you're different from Dark Night and Kui Yao. Those guys all see themselves highly. When I talk to them, they don't even respond, yet you did, haha," Li Shui Shen Long laughed.

"They're just nervous," Wang Xu said.

"Yes, it's understandable to be nervous. I'm a bit nervous too. This chance for Ancestral Transformation is too rare. Originally, the elders didn't think highly of me and wanted another Li Shui person to come, but it was the Clan Leader's insistence that earned me this spot!" Li Shui Shen Long sighed.

"Is Ancestral Transformation really so miraculous?" Wang Xu asked.

"Of course! I heard from the Clan Leader that this Ancestral Transformation is the first time in Kedan's history that it's being opened, and we are the first beneficiaries!" Li Shui Shen Long nodded.

"First time opened? So you know where we're headed?" Wang Xu's gaze shifted as he continued to ask.

"Hehe, I can't believe you don't know. Our destination for this trip is naturally Kedan's core place—the Core of Chaos!"

Core of Chaos!

Wang Xu's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart racing uncontrollably.

It really is the Core of Chaos!

It seems the clues provided earlier by the Artifact Spirit were correct, the Core of Chaos is right at the Wufu Divine Palace.

"Gu Luo, why aren't you speaking?" Li Shui Shen Long's voice pulled Wang Xu back to reality.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a bit surprised. I've only ever heard of the Core of Chaos, never seen it. The thought of being able to see the legendary Core of Chaos soon is making me a bit excited," Wang Xu smiled.

"Your mindset is just like mine! I've also only heard of the Core of Chaos and never seen it. This will be my first time seeing the Core of Chaos too!" Li Shui Shen Long laughed heartily. "But it's normal if you haven't heard, do you know what's truly precious about the Core of Chaos?"

"How can the core of the Chaotic Cosmos not be precious."

"The core indeed, and it also concerns our lives, the lives of all creatures in Kedan!" Li Shui Shen Long said deeply. (To be continued.
