149: Chapter 149: Resolving Doubts and Transmitting Techniques

"It was my rudeness, Senior. I am Bai Xuan; you can just call me Xiao Bai."

Bai Xuan heard this and began his self-introduction, realizing it truly was abrupt of him.

"That's more like it. I am Chen Gu; you can just call me Elder Chen."

Chen Gu laughed heartily, treating Bai Xuan, an outsider beast, quite kindly; had he fallen into the hands of other beast emperors, conflict would have been inevitable.

After all, for a 6th-rank beast to trespass into another 6th-rank beast emperor's territory, the consequences were foreseeable—conflicts were unavoidable, and could even escalate into a life-or-death battle.

"Then, Elder Chen, could you answer a few questions for this junior?"

Bai Xuan asked with a respectful tone; although they were of equal rank and logically he didn't need to be so respectful, Chen Gu's age was there, and since Bai Xuan needed his help, he naturally had to be respectful and polite.

"Go ahead and ask; as long as I know, I will answer you."

Chen Gu could naturally see that Bai Xuan was eager to understand the situation here, and he didn't hide anything or demand benefits, which also showed how good his impression of Bai Xuan was.

It was also true that Bai Xuan had reached such a high level of strength at a young age, making him a rare talent comparable to himself, and building a good relationship now might help him in the future.

At the very least, he wouldn't turn against him later.

"Why is it that after entering here, my divine sense was blocked by a mysterious force and I am unable to use it?" Bai Xuan was the first to ask about the thing that puzzled him most.

He also looked forward to Chen Gu clearing up his doubts; if he could help him solve this problem, that would be even better, as it was very uncomfortable without the aid of divine sense.

"The world rules and cultivation system here are slightly different, so your divine sense has been instinctively blocked by the world's origin; this is also one of the methods to prevent invading creatures."

Chen Gu explained; being knowledgeable, he was very clear about such things, and it was highly likely that Bai Xuan was regarded as an intruder and had some of his abilities restricted, but as long as one stepped into the mid-stage of the 7th rank, these restrictions could be broken.

"I see. Is there any way to resolve this?"

"This is very simple. You only need to understand the cultivation system and rules here and gain recognition, and the restrictions will naturally be lifted. There is also a very violent and effective method: advance to the 7th rank and break through to the mid-stage, and you will be able to remove the divine sense restriction. However, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, as there are other restrictions besides this one, such as weakened strength, spiritual energy consumption, and so on."

The Inner Earth World had also suffered from foreign invasions, even more severely than the surface world, and not just from the Zerg; however, the last invasion was hundreds of years ago, and that war could be described as earth-shattering and devastating.

In the end, the Inner Earth World won and survived, but the casualties were heavy and it suffered severe damage. After hundreds of years of recovery, upon learning that the surface world was being invaded by the Zerg, they knew that the World Tree and the world's origin could not hold on much longer, and the great war was not far off.

"Elder Chen, could you teach me your cultivation method?" Bai Xuan asked tentatively after a moment of silence; if it didn't work, he would have to look elsewhere or snatch one from someone weaker.

After all, advancing to the 7th rank and breaking through to the mid-stage would take a lot of time, and during this period, he would still be subject to various restrictions, which was very uncomfortable. Even if he broke the divine sense confinement, what about the others? Wouldn't he still be restricted and weakened?

Judging by Chen Gu's words, the Inner Earth World must have also suffered an invasion, but now was not the time to talk about these things; it was best to solve the restriction problem early.

"If you trust me, I can teach you our Ancient Tree Clan's basic cultivation method. It's not that I am stingy and only give you the basic method, but rather that advanced methods are not suitable for you, and the cultivation time is long. It is better to find a method suitable for your own cultivation, which will yield twice the result with half the effort."

Chen Gu smiled and said.

"I implore Elder Chen to teach me." Bai Xuan said sincerely. As for whether there was anything wrong with the technique, Bai Xuan was not worried; anyway, he had the Eye of Appraisal, so there shouldn't be too many problems.

"Since that is the case, I will teach it to you." Chen Gu extended a vine, slowly arrived in front of Bai Xuan, and tapped lightly on his forehead.

The technique entered Bai Xuan's mind through the method of divine sense transmission.

The beasts of the Inner Earth World cultivated divine sense, while most beasts of the surface world cultivated spiritual power, but in fact, there was not much difference.

Wood Dust Sutra, the introductory cultivation technique of the Ancient Tree Clan.

Bai Xuan used the Eye of Appraisal and did not find any abnormalities, which also indicated that this technique could be cultivated.

"Many thanks to Elder Chen for teaching me this technique. I will keep this great kindness in my heart and will never forget it." Bai Xuan expressed his gratitude.

"Hahaha, I actually have something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

"You will know when the time comes. Are there any other questions you don't understand now? I will answer them one by one for you. Once answered, you can go and cultivate to gain the recognition of the world's origin and lift the restrictions."

Chen Gu did not tell Bai Xuan directly, or rather, the time was not ripe yet; when the time came, he would tell him to go do it.

"Alright. By the way, I have a few friends who entered the passage with me, but I don't know why, they have disappeared. Does Elder Chen know why?"

"This is the world's origin dispersing the creatures that entered here; this is also one of the methods to protect the Inner Earth World. Your friends must have been teleported to other places. To be honest... if their strength is not strong enough, it is somewhat dangerous."

Chen Gu explained.

"I see, thank you for letting me know." Bai Xuan nodded slightly; after solving the restriction problem, he would go find them. Perhaps they were nearby; he would definitely be able to find them.

"Is there anything else now?"

"There is one last question. Elder Chen, the spiritual energy recovery in the surface world must mean that something big is about to happen, right?"

Spiritual energy recovery certainly wasn't that simple. Bai Xuan wanted to figure it out; know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

"You little one is quite smart. Indeed, something big is about to happen. Foreign invasion. The world's origin has allowed spiritual energy to recover to resist the impending foreign invasion. That is all I know. As for the rest, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the great war arrives to know."

Chen Gu could not reach deeper levels of information and could only draw conclusions based on what he had seen, heard, and guessed. He had never even seen the World Tree or the world's origin; they were just legends passed down from generation to generation.

"I see, it's about what I guessed." Bai Xuan muttered to himself. As for the things that followed, he would need to understand them step by step, and at the same time, improve his rank, otherwise he wouldn't even be qualified to know about them.
