Chapter 1601 A Forgotten Rumor

"According to Yuan, he was taken to a place called the Primal Expanse after going through the rift," said Meixiu after Xu Jiaqi's impatient inquiry into Yuan's situation. "Primal Expanse? Where is that? I have never heard of this place before." Senior Bai mumbled out loud. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

Xu Jiaqi looked at Kelan with a questioning gaze. Seeing this, Kelan shook his head and said, "No, I haven't heard of this place, either."

"Primal Expanse…?"

However, Xi Meili's face was ponderous, almost as if she was trying to recall something.

Xu Jiaqi noticed this and quickly asked, "You have heard of it?" "I think I have heard of it, but I don't remember where or when…" she sighed.

Meixiu then spoke, "This is what Yuan said—the Primal Expanse appears to be its own world that exists outside the Nine Heavens, and there are no humans here, only Magical Beasts they call Primals and Predators."

Upon hearing this, a spark of recognition flickered in Xi Meili's mind, prompting her to exclaim, "I remember now! I recall reading about it in an ancient scroll owned by my father when I was very young. It claimed that Magical Beasts and Divine Beasts didn't simply come into existence but actually traveled to the Nine Heavens from another world called Primal Expanse!"

"When I asked my father about it, he said it was a rumor that was once popular during the Primordial Era but has since faded into obscurity and forgotten by most people."

Xu Jiaqi wore a serious look on her face as she digested this information.

She turned to look at Meixiu and asked, "Did Yuan say anything else about this place?"

"No, but he said that he'd give me an update once he explores the world a little longer. Ah, he also said he's safe and to not worry about him and that he will definitely return to the Nine Heavens as soon as possible."

"I'm relieved to hear that he's safe for now, but he still needs to find a way back to the Nine Heavens. Moreover, the existence of this Primal Expanse has serious implications now that we've confirmed its existence," Senior Bai said.

"Even if we know about its existence, what can we do about it?" Kelan shrugged. "It exists outside the Nine Heavens, and those who have gone there never returned. It might as well not exist."

Xu Jiaqi suddenly glared at him with a dangerous gaze. Kelan trembled when he realized that he'd screwed up by essentially saying that Yuan would never return from the Primal Expanse.

"I believe in Yuan. He'll definitely return to us." Lan Yingying suddenly said.

Sometime later, Senior Bai asked Xu Jiaqi, "What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to see if I can learn more about the Primal Expanse, so I'll leave now. Make sure to update me whenever Yuan gives an update." "You heard it yourself, Kelan. If I am not available, you can directly notify the Celestial Overlord." Senior Bai said to Kelan.

"Yes…" Kelan acknowledged. He never thought he would work as a mere messenger, given his position in the faction, but he did not dare to complain and considered this as punishment for his failure to protect Yuan.

Senior Bai and Xu Jiaqi left the scene and returned to the upper heavens shortly later.

"What now?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Well… there's nothing we can really do until Yuan updates us, so I guess we can return to training," Meixiu said.
