482: Chapter 482 The Mystery of the Profound Meaning!

But for Shen Wanqian, it was just a drop in the bucket.

He had plenty of money!

taixuan points can be traded; he could use resources to exchange for them.

After bidding farewell to Shen Wanqian, Qin Yan returned to his own courtyard.

He pushed open the courtyard gate, crossed the yard, and returned to his room.

Closing the door, the world instantly became quiet.

With a wave of Qin Yan's hand, the Era Compendium appeared in his palm.

He flipped to the first page and began to examine it item by item.

The book was very thin, with only a few pages, and the recorded content was very concise.

But for Qin Yan, this was enough.

He saw the Primordial Era—the first era of the Universe, where Laws and regulations manifested, and living beings were powerful.

He saw the Space-Time Era—following the Primordial Era, where time and space became the mainstream.

He saw the Light Era—where the power of light enveloped the myriad worlds.

He saw the Era of the Demonic Path—where darkness and the Demonic Path rose.

He saw the Myriad Races Era—where myriad races stood side by side, competing like a hundred boats racing upstream.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Qin Yan had finished reading it.

Five eras, long stretches of time, countless changes.

Every era had its unique power system, its glorious civilization, and its reasons for extinction.

And the Myriad Races Era they currently resided in was already the fifth era.

Furthermore, he learned about something special!

It was about Profound Truths!

Time Profundity, Space Profound Truth, Light Profound Truth, and Darkness Profound Truth!

These four Profound Truths were all Supreme Profound Truths!

"It seems the information that the Darkness Profound Truth was behind the Era of the Demonic Path is no secret among these great powers."

Through this book, Qin Yan also learned a cruel truth.

It wasn't that the myriad races couldn't tolerate the Demonic Path, but rather that every one of them wanted to obtain the Darkness Profound Truth!

In the Era of the Demonic Path, the Darkness Profound Truth was almost entirely in the hands of the Demon Race.

As long as one killed those powerful demons, they would obtain their Profound Truth!

The Darkness Profound Truth within those demons was like a walking Treasure Trove, attracting countless experts one after another.

Therefore, after the Demon Race was defeated, each powerful demon became a target for the myriad races!

Those once high-and-mighty demon experts, those existences who possessed the Darkness Profound Truth, were hunted by the experts of the myriad races, killed, and stripped of their Profound Truths.

Their corpses and their power became the nourishment for the rise of the myriad races.

Only those Demon Emperors could make the myriad races wary!

After all, the strength of a Demon Emperor was too terrifying!

They were existences that surpassed the True King, experts standing at the Peak of the Demonic Path. Even the master of a Holy Land might not be a match for a Demon Emperor.

To hunt a Demon Emperor required a heavy price and the cooperation of countless experts.

"Is this the cruel truth of this world? It's even more ruthless than I thought."

Qin Yan murmured to himself, his voice carrying a hint of complex emotion.

As his fingertips lightly flipped the pages, the words recorded on the yellowed paper seemed to recount histories of blood and fire.

The destruction of every era was accompanied by massive slaughter!

When the Primordial Era was destroyed, those beings who controlled the Laws—existences comparable to the True King or Emperor Realm—fell in war and perished in the catastrophe.

Their bodies turned to dust, their power returned to heaven and earth, leaving behind only some ruins, legends, and some astonishing Cultivation Techniques.

When the Space-Time Era was destroyed, a large number of beings fought tooth and nail to snatch the Time and Space Profound Truths!

Those were the two great Supreme Profound Truths, existences that countless experts dreamed of.

To obtain them, beings spared no expense: fathers and sons killed each other, brothers turned against each other, and masters and disciples became enemies.

The entire era collapsed in that struggle for supremacy, and countless civilizations were destroyed in an instant.

When the Light Era was destroyed, a large number of beings again fought tooth and nail to snatch the Light Profound Truth!

The power of light purified everything and shone upon the myriad worlds.

Those who called themselves righteous revealed their greedy natures under the temptation of the Light Profound Truth.

They attacked and slaughtered each other, eventually dragging the entire era into the abyss.

The same was true for the current Era of the Demonic Path.

The Darkness Profound Truth was supreme, coveted by countless people.

The Demon Race possessed the Darkness Profound Truth and became the target of the myriad races.

Those once high-and-mighty demon experts fell one by one under the hunt of the myriad races, each stripped of their Profound Truth.

Their blood dyed the entire era red.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan knew he could not expose Xiao Hei even more!

After all, the amount of Darkness Profound Truth Xiao Hei carried was simply too much!

With his current strength, once exposed, there would definitely be no good end waiting for him!

Unless he could possess extremely high strength or an incredibly noble status!

For example—the position of the Saint of the Taixuan Holy Land!

The Taixuan Holy Land was one of the strongest powers in the myriad worlds.

The Saint was the face of the Holy Land, the future of the Holy Land.

Once he became the Saint, he would have the Holy Land as his backing, countless experts to protect him, and the highest-level resources.

At that time, even if someone coveted his Darkness Profound Truth, they would have to weigh whether they could withstand the wrath of the Taixuan Holy Land.

Qin Yan shook his head, temporarily suppressing these unrealistic thoughts in his heart.

He had only been at the Holy Land for one day; thinking about those things was a bit too far-fetched.

The position of Saint was the ultimate goal that countless Prodigies dreamed of, a height that countless Prodigies might not touch even if they gave their all.

What he needed to do now was to keep his feet on the ground and improve his strength step by step.

"However, what are the remaining three of the seven Supreme Profound Truths?"

Qin Yan thought of another question.

When he first fused the Darkness Profound Truth, he could clearly feel seven magnificent Profound Truths.

Each of those seven Profound Truths was as vast as the sea, each as deep as infinity, as if they formed the very Foundation of the entire Universe.

They flickered in his perception, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

But this book only mentioned four Supreme Profound Truths—Time, Space, Light, and Darkness. It didn't say a single word about the remaining three.

Did Supreme Profound Truths exist in the Primordial Era?

Would their Myriad Races Era also form some kind of Profound Truth era?

Countless years later, when the Myriad Races Era reached its end and future generations looked back at this history, would they also name it after a certain Profound Truth?

If so, which Profound Truth would it be?

Qin Yan only felt his head throbbing at this moment.

Today, he had inexplicably met a little fatty, then learned about the roughly mysterious origins of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture, then came into contact with knowledge of the eras, and then fell into the mystery of the Profound Truths.

The amount of information was too large and complex for him to digest all at once.

"Forget it, I won't think about this for now. I should focus on improving my strength first."

Qin Yan shook his head, temporarily pushing down these chaotic thoughts.

Thinking too much was useless; strength was the fundamental thing.

Once he had enough strength, these mysteries would naturally be solved one by one.

With a wave of his hand, a blood-colored crystal appeared in his palm.
