The moment Xiang Shaoyun and company arrived, Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao started attacking the primal chaos wall. Unfortunately, the wall was too tough. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't break through completely.
"This primal chaos wall is very tough. Young Master Xiang, let's work together," suggested Ling Ziruo.
Xiang Shaoyun shook his head. "You won't be able to get through this way."
"What should we do, then?" Song Tiandao hurriedly asked.
Instead of replying, Xiang Shaoyun looked at an inconspicuous spot. There, a cultivator shining with five colors was slowly blending into the wall. Before long, that cultivator vanished before everyone's eyes.
That cultivator was none other than Dugu Qiubai of the True Martial Academy. With his innate Primal Chaos Physique, the primal chaos world was basically his own home. In other words, apart from the few cultivators with terrifying levels of strength, only those with the Primal Chaos Physique could enter the primal chaos world.
Xiang Shaoyun did not have the Primal Chaos Physique, but his physique possessed all the characteristics of the Primal Chaos Physique. Thus, he could get through the primal chaos wall easily. He was only hesitant as to whether he should bring Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao with him.
"Are Primal Chaos Physique owners the only ones who can benefit from the primal chaos world?" asked Ling Ziruo with indignation.
"I believe Xiang Shaoyun will have a way for everyone to get inside," said Song Tiandao as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun with hopeful eyes.
"Pick 10 people each and come on my warship. I'll take you in," said Xiang Shaoyun after some hesitation.
No matter how generous he was, this was the most that he could do. After all, they were only allies. Their friendship wasn't even that deep.
"Can't we bring more people? After all, you are bringing all your people with you," said Ling Ziruo. She realized that Xiang Shaoyun had a way to bring others in, but a quota of 10 people was too little for her. Thus, she requested for more of her people to follow along.
After all, this was an extremely rare encounter. If the Guangling Palace could send more people inside, they might be able to gain an additional batch of powerful experts. That way, the strength of their group as a whole would increase as well.
On the other hand, Song Tiandao's reaction was much more straightforward. He merely gratefully said, "Thank you, Xiang Shaoyun."
He then started calling out names, gathering the strongest and the most talented people on his side. Those he called were all trusted full members of the Song Clan. He naturally had to share the opportunity with them.
Xiang Shaoyun deactivated the formation on his warship, allowing Song Tiandao and his people to get on his ship. He then looked at Ling Ziruo and said, "Lady Ling, I can't take more than 10. If you continue waiting, I will have to go without you."
"Petty man!" grumbled Ling Ziruo as she stomped on the ground. She hurriedly gathered 10 people and boarded Xiang Shaoyun's warship.
As for the others, they could only watch on helplessly.
"Miss Yue Xi, come on over as well," offered Xiang Shaoyun after some hesitation upon seeing that Yue Xi wasn't part of the 10 people brought by Ling Ziruo.
In the past, Xiang Shaoyun had helped Yue Xi because of Dong Ziwan. Thus, he couldn't bring himself to let her wait outside while the others entered the primal chaos world.
Yue Xi was overjoyed as she said, "Thank you, Young Master Xiang."
Yue Xi was no less talented than anyone present. She only lacked time. She had thought that she would miss out on this big opportunity, but the opportunity had surprisingly returned to her.
After allowing Yue Xi to get on his ship, Xiang Shaoyun started controlling the ship with his God Realm energy. He said to the people on Ling Ziruo's and Song Tiandao's ships, "You better take the chance to absorb the primal chaos energy here while the primal chaos world is still around. That will help increase your cultivation. If you miss out on this, you won't get a second chance."
Then, he utilized the profundity of primal chaos, sending strands of primal chaos energy wrapping around his warship. He then steered the ship toward the primal chaos wall. The other people in the area cried out in alarm.
"That's primal chaos energy! How can he release that energy? Does he have the Primal Chaos Physique?"
"Idiot. He long fused nine different energies to form the strongest physique higher tiered than the Primal Chaos Physique. It is not surprising that he can utilize the primal chaos power."
"Does he think that he can enter so easily? I doubt it's so simple."
"That's right. Even our leader had struggled greatly to enter, yet he's here dreaming of bringing so many people with him. He's simply courting death."
...
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun turned a deaf ear to all their words. He had wrapped the primal chaos energy all around his ship and was currently clashing against the primal chaos wall with his energy cocoon. The people on the ship waited nervously, worried that the wall would repel them.
However, Xiang Shaoyun showed no fear. He was very clear that the primal chaos wall was formed with the profundity of primal chaos. He had the same power, so he would not be repelled.
Sure enough, the warship started phasing through the layers that made up the primal chaos wall. There were 33 layers to the wall in total, and each layer was extremely powerful thanks to the primal chaos origin energy powering the wall. It was almost impossible for the others to break through all 33 layers of the wall.
Nevertheless, a cultivator would still benefit from breaking through the layers. The more layers one went through, the more one would benefit because more primal chaos origin energy would be available for absorption. Because primal chaos energy could be transformed into all living things and all energies, it was the perfect energy for a God to absorb.
Mao Gangqiang and about a dozen ninth-stage alien Gods had reached the ninth layer. They had absorbed a large amount of primal chaos energy. Unfortunately, they were still not satisfied with what they had absorbed so far. If they wanted to reach the Nine Revolutions Realm, they needed to go deeper and absorb more energy.
As for Qin Jiu, Gongsun Sanyang and the other humans, they were also trying their best to advance. They had just reached the eighth layer. In the process of advancing through the layers, both Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang started revealing their trump cards.
Qin Jiu had a five-colored fan in his hand. Lights of green, red, brown, blue, and gold constantly swirled around it. This was the Primal Chaos Fan, a fan made from some primal divine stone and the feathers of five top-tier birds. The fan was a divine weapon Venerable Yuan Shi had given Qin Hongyan in the past. For Qin Hongyan to have handed the fan to Qin Jiu, one could only imagine how much hope Qin Hongyan had for Qin Jiu.
As for Gongsun Sanyang, he also had a primal chaos item at hand. Instead of a weapon, it was a cloak, which was also made by Venerable Yuan Shi. It had an impressive defensive prowess that could withstand even the attacks of regular Nine Revolutions Realm experts.
After taking out the two divine objects, the two were able to advance at a much faster speed than before.
