Chapter 517 - 331 Continuously Friendly_2
Time passed slowly; an hour slipped by as Zhong Hui finally stood up, ready to return to his residence as he had mentioned. When Yan Xiaobao returned, not one of the girls had awakened. Yan Xiaobao himself was completely immersed in his cultivation, oblivious to Zhong Hui’s departure. As Zhong Hui stood at the doorway, he nodded slightly and cast a final glance at the white-haired boy. He smiled faintly at Deng Wu and Xu Biao before stepping out.
Xu Biao and Deng Wu were not slow to notice the shift in Zhong Hui’s behavior upon Hui Hui’s arrival to the room. Yet, neither of them understood why his demeanor had changed. Their puzzlement led them to surmise that Zhong Hui might be captivated by her unusual appearance or curious whether her veins carried the mystical blood of a rare beast.
After reaching the Dragon Core, Xu Biao and the others were immediately locked inside the residence. Once Yan Xiaobao completed what he had to do for Lan Feng, the group spent their time training and preparing to leave the Underworld.
All of Yan Xiaobao’s friends were keenly aware that he was planning something that could potentially put them at odds with the Dragon Army. Nevertheless, every single one of them resolved to stand by the white-haired youth, ready to assist him if needed.
Finally, Yan Xiaobao discovered the laws he had long sought after. What he saw shocked him to the core. The mistreatment he witnessed went far beyond his prior imagination.
Knowing that they were being used as a source of energy, Yan Xiaobao understood that these individuals would not die. Their bodies were brimming with astonishing energy. However, harvesting this energy and being able to wield it were entirely different matters.
This energy originated from the laws themselves. It was the power they created—the very same energy used to construct the tunnel system, the energy that forged the entirety of the world. This was known as the Ancestor World Power.
The Ancestor World Power was unfathomably mighty and indestructible. It was this force that ensured the perpetual shining of the sun and moon, cascading their light across the world. It was this energy that drove the changing seasons and the ebb and flow of the tides.
In this world, every aspect of existence—birth, life, and death—was governed by the Ancestor World Power. Even the essence of heaven and earth emanated from the Ancestor World Power.
Humankind could cultivate this through refining essence into Qi, further refining Qi into spiritual energy, and ultimately integrating it into martial power. For the Dragon Army to harvest it in this manner was utterly unprecedented, dangerous, and profoundly astonishing.
