While Yuan journeyed through the Primal Expanse with Yingzi, Xu Jiaqi was traversing the Nine Heavens, gathering more information about the Primal Expanse. Since this topic was related to magical beasts, she focused on meeting the beast clans, such as the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan.
At one of the most ancient Dragon Clans in the Supreme Heaven, Xu Jiaqi requested to meet with their historian.
"The Primal Expanse, huh? It's been a very long time since someone has brought this place up."
The Dragon Clan's historian, Long Qi, spoke with interest as he combed his white beard.
He retrieved a large, ancient scroll and opened it, revealing all sorts of information on the Primal Expanse.
"Don't let the amount of information here fool you, Lady Xu. They're all just speculations and rumors. In truth, nobody has been to the Primal Expanse."
"Then where did the rumor even come from? Who started it?" Xu Jiaqi asked.
"Do you know how some people claim they have memories of their past life? Well, some beasts vaguely recall a place called the Primal Expanse, where they lived in their past life. According to these individuals, the Primal Expanse is strictly ruled by beasts, so no humans exist there."
"..."
'It's exactly like how Yuan described that place…' Xu Jiaqi thought to herself.
"Do you mind if I borrow this scroll?" she asked Long Qi a moment later.
"Of course, but why are you suddenly interested in the Primal Expanse—if you don't mind me asking?" Xu Jiaqi pondered whether she should reveal the fact that the Primal Expanse was not just a rumor but existed somewhere outside the Nine Heavens.
"I heard someone mention it, and it piqued my interest. That's all."
In the end, Xu Jiaqi decided not to reveal this information yet, fearing it might make the world a little chaotic.
'I need more information about the Primal Expanse before I reveal this information… if I even should…' she thought to herself. freewёbnoνel.com
After leaving the Dragon Clan, Xu Jiaqi visited the Phoenix Clan and asked for information on the Primal Expanse. She would visit multiple clans over the next several weeks, gathering as much information as she could.
Meanwhile, Meixiu and the others began their training with Kelan after a quick assessment. It only took a single five-minute spar with each of them for Kelan to understand their prowess and how to train them.
"I will spend a day training each of you, starting from the one I think is the weakest currently." Kelan's gaze fell on Meixiu as he spoke.
"So you'll be first."
"Okay," she nodded.
'I already knew I was quite weak compared to the others, but it still hurts.' Meixiu sighed inwardly.
Although she had been rigorously trained in combat by her mother from a young age to serve the Yu Family, she couldn't match Chu Liuxiang, who had the advantage of training with a cultivator since childhood.
Kelan shifted his gaze to Chu Liuxiang next, "You'll be training with me after her."
Then he looked at Lan Yingying and said, "You're third."
