"Fellow Daoist, how are you?"
Chu Xuan established a connection with Flying Cloud.
"Are you a Fellow Daoist from the ancient world or the nine zones?"
Flying Cloud asked Chu Xuan a question.
The ancient world?
Chu Xuan was helpless. This was the disadvantage of lacking knowledge. He did not even know what the ancient world the other party was talking about was.
Another world beyond the nine zones?
Chu Xuan paused for a moment, and Flying Cloud seemed to understand.
"Since you are not from the Ancient Chaos World, you must be from the nine zones," he continued.
The Ancient Chaos World!
This meant that the three races went to the Ancient Chaos World after leaving the nine zones.
However, he did not know where the Ancient Chaos World was, nor what it was.
Another world?
Chu Xuan recalled the process of him being transformed into chaos. During the evolution of Chaos, before the appearance of the nine zones, there were even giant rocks, like meteorites and asteroids in the chaos.
On some of these, chaotic plants and lifeforms grew.
Could that be the Ancient Chaos World?
However, there was more than one such place.
Moreover, these places would drift within the chaos and were not fixed in one place.
Of course, this had been then, and might be different now.
What was certain was that the Ancient Chaos World was one or perhaps a combination of such places.
It was not a complete world, and was different from the nine zones.
"There's actually an existence like you in the nine zones. As expected of the first world created by the chaos," Flying Cloud sighed.
Nine zones?
He could not admit that he was someone who had opened his Dao path in the nine zones. Otherwise, that would make him seem like a junior.
Chu Xuan said, "Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood. I'm not from the nine zones. I've just traveled through the chaos for countless years and am passing through the nine zones."
During his state of enlightenment, he had seen countless powerful chaotic beings exploring the chaos.
These chaotic beings were far more powerful than those who had been besieged and killed in the nine zones.
Chu Xuan knew very well that he knew very little about the long history of the Ancient Chaos World and the nine zones.
Common knowledge in the eyes of existences like Flying Cloud were undiscovered secrets to Chu Xuan.
If he wanted his status as a big shot to be preserved, he could only give himself the identity of someone who traveled the chaos and did not understand the current situation.
Chu Xuan finished setting up his identity and continued, "The Ancient Chaos World that Fellow Daoist mentioned… is it a world formed by the gathering of giant rocks in the chaos?"
Eh?
This mysterious and powerful being was not someone who opened their Dao path in the nine zones, but a chaotic being?
Or was it a powerful existence from ancient times?
Flying Cloud breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. How could there be such a strong person in the nine zones today?
"The Ancient Chaos World is indeed formed by giant rocks in the chaos. It has been in the chaos for countless years," said Flying Cloud .
Since Chu Xuan was able to ask that question, it meant that he had a very good understanding of the chaos.
He was definitely not someone who opened his Dao path in the nine zones.
The current Daoyuan experts of the nine zones would not even know about the existence of the chaos, much less the Ancient Chaos World.
Chu Xuan took this opportunity to ask about the Ancient Chaos World to gain a general understanding of this matter.
Flying Cloud answered his questions one by one in a very easy-going manner.
The Ancient Chaos World was not a complete world.
Those who could survive in the Ancient Chaos World were at least Heaven realm cultivators. Otherwise, they could not withstand the gravitational pull of the Ancient Chaos World.
There were not many living beings in the Ancient Chaos World, far less than the nine zones.
He also confirmed that the immortal, celestial and demon races had been living in the Ancient Chaos World after they were expelled from the nine zones.
Flying Cloud also asked him some questions about the chaos. This was not difficult for Chu Xuan, so he chose to reply with some unimportant details. He avoided mentioning anything about the mysteries of chaos.
Flying Cloud did not probe further. Both sides were obviously trying to test each other.
After failing to figure out Chu Xuan's strength, Flying Cloud began to take him seriously, feeling that this was an expert no weaker than himself.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you in the nine zones?"
"Yes and no."
Chu Xuan naturally would not admit or deny it.
He finally understood why all the powerful experts liked to talk like this, which was to maintain an air of mystery.
"The nine zones are currently facing the Great Daoyuan calamity. What are your thoughts on that, Fellow Daoist Chu?"
Flying Cloud seemed to be very concerned about the situation unfolding in the nine zones.
Chu Xuan even suspected that Fengkong's Jade Crystal Palace might belong to Flying Cloud .
Of course, it was just a guess and he could not be sure.
"It's just a minor calamity, so why bother?"
Chu Xuan said without a care.
"The calamities of the nine zones are not simple. They may look like minor calamities, but minor calamities can also lead to major calamities."
"Fellow Daoist Flying Cloud, are you talking about the Great Dao calamity?"
"Fellow Daoist Chu also knows about this?"
"Of course. However, the Great Dao calamity of the nine zones should not affect Fellow Daoist Flying Cloud, right?"
Daoist Flying Cloud was silent for a moment.
He then said, "Fellow Daoist Chu has been traveling around the chaos and is not familiar with this. The Great Dao calamity does not only belong to the nine zones. We all come from the nine zones, and the Great Dao of the nine zones encompasses the chaos. Who can completely transcend it?"
