Primordial Harem System

Chapter 338 Chaotic Past

Yue Lan's chuckle carried a tinge of sorrow and pride, her voice soft but resolute as she answered Shen Yuan's question.

[Yes, I was there,] Read exclusive adventures at empire

She admitted, her words carrying the weight of countless eons.

[I am one of the few Pre-Natal Chaotic Lifeforms who survived the upheaval. My essence was strong enough, my Dao Heart strong enough, to adapt to the laws imposed by Pangu's actions. While others faded, were sealed, or chose to rest eternally, I chose to endure. That is why I am here, able to roam the worlds freely.]

Shen Yuan's eyes widened slightly, his composure momentarily shaken. "You... You're one of them? A true Pre-Natal Chaotic Lifeform? Then the knowledge you've shared—it's not just history. It's your lived experience."

Yue Lan's tone became solemn, the hint of bitterness giving way to something deeper.

[Indeed. I saw the war unfold, saw Chaos rend itself apart under the fury of titanic beings clashing. And I witnessed Pangu, at the height of his power, do what none thought possible—split Chaos itself and create the foundation for the worlds as you know them.]

She paused for a moment, as if gathering her thoughts.

[Pangu's strength was unrivaled. He was the first to bring order to the chaos within himself, forming what you now call a Dao Heart. He is the progenitor of Dao Heart.]

[It gave him clarity, purpose, and the power to shape reality itself. But his actions were not born of arrogance. He sought to create stability, a place where life could flourish beyond the endless void of Chaos.]

Shen Yuan leaned forward slightly, captivated by her words. "And yet, it cost him everything."

[Yes,]

Yue Lan said softly, her voice carrying a trace of melancholy.

[After splitting Chaos and forming the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Pangu knew the natural laws he had created were unstable. They needed a foundation—a stabilizing force to hold the new reality together.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[And so, he sacrificed himself. His body became the mountains and rivers, his breath the winds, his blood the seas. His soul scattered, becoming the sky and stars. Even his immense Chaos Essence was divided, birthing the Great Dao that governs all things.]

She continued, her tone growing more reflective.

She smugly replied back.

"Wait, so does that mean if I enter the pagoda and activate the time formation and change it to 10x from outside, and the time here is already running 30x faster than the outside world, will I be able to cultivate for 300 days?" His eyes lit up as he thought of this.

[Yeah, sure. But cultivating here is more beneficial due to the quality of this space. Just think of this as cultivating in a desolate village at the edge of the continent and cultivating at the core of the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect.]

Shen Yuan nodded thoughtfully, rubbing his chin. "Makes sense. Cultivating in a high-quality environment will bring better results, even if the time dilation is less impressive. Still, I'm tempted to try the combination once just to see the effects."

[Suit yourself,]

Yue Lan said with a faint chuckle.

[Though I must warn you, over-relying on such shortcuts can stunt your understanding. Cultivation is not just about speed; it's about depth and mastery. You shouldn't rush it.]

Shen Yuan smirked. "Don't worry, Lan'er. I know the importance of balance. But sometimes, leveraging resources wisely is what separates the talented from the truly exceptional."

He walked to the center of the chamber, the spatial energy of the room faintly resonating with his presence. With a flick of his wrist, his pagoda materialized in the air from his dantian, its intricate runes glowing faintly as it floated above his palm.

Shen Yuan walked towards the Ancestral Pagoda. As he approached the glowing structure, the air around it pulsed faintly, as if recognizing its master.

With a flick of his wrist, the pagoda expanded, revealing its majestic form, towering in the chamber like a guardian of secrets.

"Let's see what treasures I can uncover this time," Shen Yuan muttered to himself, a smirk tugging at his lips. Without hesitation, he opened a portal and stepped into the pagoda's first level.

...

As he arrived on the first floor, the sight that greeted him was both serene and intense. Around a hundred cultivators, clad in the distinctive silver robes of the Silver Fox Sect, were diligently training.

Their synchronized movements, coupled with the faint shimmer of Qi flowing through the room, gave the space an almost ethereal quality.

Among them were the sect's highest-ranking members: the Ancestor, Sect Leader, Grand Elder, Core Elders, and Core Disciples, all focused intently on their cultivation or sparring with one another before attempting the trials of the first floor.
