Prime Originator-Chapter 1053 Magma Domain
Chapter 1053 Magma Domain
"I understand why you find it strange, Lord Rhuvek. However, that is because you have the wrong assumption regarding the situation," Leon stated before explaining, "A battle between the Celestials and Demon Lords had indeed occurred several thousand years ago."
"However, that battle did not bring much destruction to the lands on the surface. The battle was fought in a contained space, a secret realm that the humans and demons discovered."
"It was there that I found clues of such a battle occurring in the past," Leon stated.
Lord Rhuvek's eyes brightened at the mention of secret mention before the light in his eyes dulled after a few moments.
Even if there was a secret realm with plenty of opportunities on the surface, it would have nothing to do with him.
He didn't intend to visit the surface just because he met someone from there.
More important, his body was adapted to the dark environment of the Lower Abyss Domain. The sunlight would be very painful for him—in fact, it might even be deadly.
"I see. That makes sense," Lord Rhuvek uttered with understanding before adding, "For this secret realm to withstand the battle between the Celestial and Demon Lords, it must be very sturdy."
"That aside, Lord Leon should have understood the whole picture about our world's history, and I have also learned a bit about the situation on the surface from Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek said shortly after.
Leon calmly nodded.
After learning history from Lord Rhuvek, Leon gained a clearer understanding of the world.
At the very least, he understood why the world had so many huge pocket spaces and buried ruins with treasures deep under the earth.
Suddenly, Leon thought of something and said, "The Dark Elf Clan had lived in the Lower Abyss Domain, far away from the world-resetting battles between Celestials and Demon Lords on the surface, for tens of thousands of years."
"Furthermore, resources in the Lower Abyss Domain and abundant. Given these conditions, your Dark Elf Clan must have quite a few powerful experts, no? Perhaps, even some Celestials?" Leon probed.
However, contrary to Leon's expectation, Lord Rhuvek smiled bitterly before shaking his head.
"If our clan had given birth to a single Celestial in the past tens of thousands of years that we existed, we would have dominated the Lower Abyss Domain already. We wouldn't be pestered by the insect races like we are now."
"Forget about reaching the Celestial Realm; it is simply impossible to obtain that realm in the Lower Abyss Domain. Just reaching Peak Paragon alone is already hard enough."
"Aside from our current clan leader in the main clan, only two other members of our clan had ever reached Peak Paragon in their lifetimes," Lord Rhuvek stated.
Leon revealed his astonishment before asking, "The Celestial Realm is impossible to obtain in the Lower Abyss Domain? How did you come to such a conclusion, Lord Rhuvek?"
"This wasn't my conclusion, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek shook his head and said, "This conclusion was made by our main clan leader after he studied the notes left by the past Peak Paragons in our clan."
"The Lower Abyss Domain has almost everything, but it lacks the most crucial element to advance to higher realms in awakening cultivation, astral energy. Astral energy can be found everywhere in the outer world, but not here in the Lower Abyss Domain."
"I see. That makes a lot of sense," Leon agreed with a look of insight before muttering thoughtfully, "You cannot understand the stars if you have never seen them."
"That's right. Lord Leon can put it that way," Lord Rhuvek nodded before saying, "Our clan leader only managed to advance to Peak Paragon after cultivating in the Magma Domain."
"The magma energy in the Magma Domain is the closest thing to the sun's solar energy, which gives life and strength to all beings in Primal Chaos. Alas, without the baptism of cold space, it will never become astral energy, let alone be transformed into celestial energy."
"As such, the Celestial Realm is simply out of our reach," Lord Rhuvek stated.
"I see," Leon rubbed his chin before wondering, "How long has your clan leader reached Peak Paragon? If he figured out magma energy from the Magma Domain could help Paragons breakthrough the bottleneck, shouldn't there be more Peak Paragons now?"
"On the contrary, no," Lord Rhuvek shook his head and said, "It was by luck that our clan leader managed to advance to Peak Paragon by cultivating in the Magma Domain. Others don't have the same luck."
"You see, the Magma Domain itself is a very perilous place. Trying to withstand the high temperature in that place is one thing, but there are also terrifying fire-attribute creatures, fire spirits, and even fiery oddities that thrive in that domain."
"Not everyone is a fire-user like our main clan leader, let alone a Late Paragon before he made the breakthrough to Peak Paragon in that perilous place."
Lord Rhuvek suddenly clapped his hands together before saying, "Anyhow, let's not talk anymore about this topic."
"If Lord Leon wishes to learn more about the Magma Domain, you will have to find our clan leader in the main clan. You will have to forgive me for my limited knowledge."
"You're too polite, Lord Rhuvek. I have learned much from you," Leon said earnestly.
"As have I, Lord Leon," Lord Rhuvek smiled amicably before his eyes suddenly flickered with interest. "About the trade you mentioned, what do you wish to trade with our city, Lord Leon?"
Even though Lord Rhuvek wasn't interested in visiting the surface, he was excited to obtain some local specialties from the surface.
Sea monster meat he tried earlier, for example, was not only delicious but beneficial for his body cultivation.
And that was only the meat of a Transcendent-level sea monster.
If he could gain a steady supply of Paragon-quality sea monster meat prepared by a Tier-5 Spirit Chef, he had hopes of becoming a Paragon in body cultivation as an alternate path from awakening cultivation.
"I can see that the sea monster meat has left quite an impression on you, Lord Rhuvek," Leon smiled.
