481: Chapter 481 The Fifth Era!

Because they discovered that this Cultivation Technique would ruin too many geniuses.

Those geniuses could have had bright futures, but because they were obsessed with this Cultivation Technique, they wasted their best cultivation years for nothing.

To prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes, they simply banned the cultivation of this technique.

And Qin Yan had not only cultivated it but also successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the fifth-grade, even becoming a Special Grade Disciple.

This meant that Qin Yan not only possessed all Five Elements but also had astonishing Comprehension Ability!

Thinking of this, Shen Wanqian's gaze toward Qin Yan became even more respectful.

But at the same time, he began to worry.

What if the other party got stuck at the sixth-grade?

The Five Elements Primordial Scripture was powerful, indeed, but it was extremely difficult to achieve a Breakthrough!

From ancient times to the present, how many prodigies have met their downfall through this Cultivation Technique?

Now that he was befriending him, he naturally did not want the other party to be stuck at a mere sixth-grade.

He befriended Qin Yan to forge a good connection and to invest in the future.

If Qin Yan couldn't even break through to the sixth-grade, then this connection would seem a bit foolish.

However, he would not say these things now.

After all, Qin Yan had just reached the fifth rank late stage, and there was still some distance to the sixth-grade.

Moreover, seeing the other party's confident and composed appearance, he likely had his own plans.

“Brother Shen, could you tell me about the origins of this Cultivation Technique?”

Qin Yan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Shen Wanqian's thoughts.

He knew too little about this Cultivation Technique.

He only knew it was powerful and difficult to practice, but he knew nothing at all about its specific origins.

Now that he had met someone who knew, he naturally had to ask properly.

Hearing this, Shen Wanqian suppressed the thoughts in his heart and returned to his senses.

He looked at Qin Yan, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: “Brother Qin, regarding the origins of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, I also know very little.

This Cultivation Technique has been passed down for far too long.

The ancient records in my chamber of commerce only contain a few scattered mentions.”

“I only know that this technique originated very, very early, possibly as far back as the Primordial Era.”

Qin Yan was slightly stunned.

“Primordial Era?”

“That's right, the Primordial Era.”

Shen Wanqian nodded, his expression becoming serious.

“The Primordial Era was the earliest era in the Universe. At that time, rules were manifest, and the world was filled with various primitive powers.

Every living being wielded immense rules, and their strength was comparable to today's True Kings and Imperial Realms!

Those primordial beings were born mastering rules; they could move mountains and fill seas with a wave of a hand, and destroy heaven and earth with a flick of a finger.”

“However, later, for some unknown reason, the Primordial Era perished.

Those powerful primordial beings and those existences who mastered the rules all vanished into the long river of history.

Leaving behind only some ruins, some legends, and some breathtaking Cultivation Techniques.”

“And so came the second era—the Space-Time Era.”

Shen Wanqian said, his voice carrying a hint of emotion.

Qin Yan was deeply shocked by what he heard.

As expected, only by coming into contact with major forces and traveling to major realms can one's horizons be greatly expanded.

Previously, he had only heard of the Myriad Races Era and the Era of the Demonic Path.

Now he had heard of the Primordial Era and the Space-Time Era.

It turned out that before the Myriad Races Era, there was such a long history and so many unknown secrets.

“What came after the Space-Time Era?” Qin Yan followed up.

“After the Space-Time Era was the Light Era.”

Shen Wanqian continued, “After the Light Era was the Era of the Demonic Path.

After the Era of the Demonic Path is the Myriad Races Era we currently live in.”

“Brother Qin, our current Myriad Races Era is the Fifth Era.”

Shen Wanqian seemed to see that Qin Yan didn't understand the eras, so with a wave of his hand, a thin book appeared in his palm.

The book was about a finger thick, with a simple and ancient cover that bore the four large characters: 'Compendium of Eras'.

The pages were yellowed, carrying the marks of time.

“Brother Qin, this is the Compendium of Eras, which records some simple events that happened within the eras.

Although the content isn't much, it's enough to understand the history of the eras.

You can look through it later, and if there's anything you don't understand, come and ask me again.”

Shen Wanqian handed the book to Qin Yan and said with a smile.

Qin Yan reached out to take it and then said thank you.

This book was too important to him.

Knowledge like the history of eras was impossible to access back on Blue Star.

Immediately after, Qin Yan asked Shen Wanqian for some information regarding the Special Grade Prodigies this time.

Since they were all Special Grade Disciples, they would inevitably cross paths in the future, so it was always good to know about them in advance.

“Then I will briefly introduce a few of the Prodigy Disciples among the Special Grade Disciples to Brother Qin.”

Shen Wanqian did not withhold anything and told him all the information he knew, one by one.

“Lin Ruoxi, the Seventh Princess of the Great Xia Imperial Family, has shown amazing martial arts talent since childhood and was fully nurtured by the imperial family.

She practiced the sword at three, comprehended Sword Qi at ten, and stepped into the fifth-grade at sixteen!

Now, she has cultivated her sword dao to second-grade Sword Intent and is one of the strongest Disciples in the East Courtyard's Outer Court!”

“Beichen Xing, a prince of the Beichen Imperial Dynasty, Cultivates the Imperial Extreme Heaven-Shocking Art, which is the national treasure of the dynasty.

It is said that when he was born, a celestial phenomenon occurred, with purple qi coming three thousand miles from the east.”

“Long Aotian, from the Dragon Clan royal Bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon Realm, has an incomparably powerful Physical Body and is at the Peak of the fifth-grade.

It is said that he once tore apart a fifth-grade Yao Beast with his bare hands; his physical strength is invincible among his peers.”

“Huang Jiuli, a direct descendant of the Phoenix Divine Mountain in the Phoenix Realm, possesses the Phoenix True Fire.

That is one of the most powerful flames in the world; it is said that a single breath of true fire can incinerate all things.”

“Feng Wuji, the Young Lord of the Wind God Sect in the Heavenly Wind Realm, is a natural Wind Spirit Physique.

It is said that when he was born, he was accompanied by violent winds, and he could ride the wind at the age of three.

Now nineteen years old, he is already at the Peak of the fifth-grade, only one step away from the sixth-grade.

The wind-attribute technique he Cultivates is said to come from an ancient Legacy and is extremely powerful.”

“There are a few more...”

Shen Wanqian introduced them one by one, and behind every name was a string of jaw-dropping achievements.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan couldn't help but be shocked!

These Special Grade Disciples were all truly prodigies!

Sons of True Kings, natural phenomena at birth, Innate divine wonders, special Physiques, True Dragon Bloodlines—every one of them had an incredible background and extraordinary talent.

Fifth-grade at sixteen, second-grade Sword Intent, Dual Cultivation in Qi Refining and Body Refining—these achievements, which would be enough to shock the world on Blue Star, were just basic configurations for them.

The prodigies of Blue Star were completely incomparable to these monsters!

Qin Yan felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Previously on Blue Star, he felt he was already very powerful, with almost no rivals among his peers.

But coming here, he realized there is always a heaven beyond heaven and people beyond people.

Finally, the two finished all the food in front of them, only to feel the blood and qi boiling in their bodies, making them feel warm all over.

The energy from those rare ingredients dispersed within their bodies, nourishing their Meridians and flesh, making them feel invigorated.

This meal cost a total of 3 taixuan points, which Shen Wanqian paid.

3 taixuan points was a significant expense for any New Student.
