# Chapter 626: The Revived Primordial Mystic Ark

"Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal... a Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasure?" Yun Che's expression instantly froze.

"The Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal ranks third among the seven Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures, inferior only to the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel. Legend has it that it was born at the center of the Primordial Chaos universe, its vital energy connected to the Primordial Chaos universe itself—as long as the Primordial Chaos universe does not die, it shall be eternal and indestructible!" Mo Li spoke unhurriedly.

"This 'eternal' force you mentioned—what is it?"

"If worn on one's person, one's lifespan will never decrease. In other words... the one who possesses it will have an endless, infinite lifespan!"

"...Huh?" Yun Che was utterly dumbfounded, momentarily feeling as if he were listening to a myth of nothingness: "Infinite lifespan... never die? How is that possible!"

"You're overthinking it!" Mo Li snorted lightly. "Infinite lifespan does not mean immortality and indestructibility! With the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal on your person, though you can never die from running out of lifespan, you can still be killed by external forces! But if a person possesses invincible power, such that neither other living beings nor the forces of nature can put them to death, and then obtains the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal, then they would become a truly immortal and indestructible being!"

"If you could obtain the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal and place it on Xiao Yaohou, then as long as she is not killed by external forces, she could live as long as she wishes! Not only would she not die, but she would never age!"

"The Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal is also the only 'eternal life' artifact in the entire Primordial Chaos space! Back then, even all the true gods went mad for it—after all, though the lifespans of true gods are long, they are not infinite. The more powerful the god, the more frantically they sought to obtain it."

"Eternal lifespan—this is a temptation that no living being can resist! That is why it is worthy of being ranked third among the Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures!"

Yun Che listened silently, not speaking for a long time. Each of the Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures possessed heaven-defying abilities. The Heavenly Poison Pearl had heaven-defying poison, refinement, and purification powers; the Lunhui Jing had heaven-defying reincarnation-crossing power... and this Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasure that Mo Li spoke of actually possessed the fantastical power of "eternity"—that is, "eternal life"!

Eternal lifespan, everlasting life...

But this thing sounded too illusory, so illusory that Yun Che could hardly imagine or describe its existence.

"Then this Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal... do you know where it is?" Yun Che asked in a very low voice.

"What do you think!" Mo Li's three short words expressed her contempt for Yun Che's idiotic question. "I might as well tell you. Among the seven Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures, the fourth-ranked Zhou Tian Pearl, the fifth-ranked Heavenly Poison Pearl, the sixth-ranked Cosmic Thorn, and the seventh-ranked Lunhui Jing have all appeared several times throughout history, sparking countless conflicts. Among them, the Zhou Tian Pearl was obtained by someone long ago and became the exclusive treasure of a powerful star realm... But the top three—the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel, and the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal—completely vanished without a trace after the destruction of the gods, never to reappear! Though countless people have sought them at all costs, they have never found even a single trace."

"Moreover, given the 'eternal' power of the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal, even if it were found, the one who found it would never reveal it, otherwise there would be an endless stream of peerless powerhouses trying to seize it. And it doesn't require use—just wearing it on your person—making it extremely easy to hide its existence. So it's possible that it has already been found."

"What? Are you thinking of trying to look for it?" Mo Li's tone was playful.

"..." Yun Che's brow twitched slightly. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I don't believe there are no other methods besides this!"

"I have the medical skills taught by my master, the Desolate God's Power, the Dragon God's Blood, and the Heavenly Poison Pearl... I don't believe I can't save Xiao Yaohou!"

As Yun Che spoke, he raised his left hand, and the image of the Heavenly Poison Pearl appeared in his palm. He brushed his hand over the Heavenly Poison Pearl, then suddenly froze, followed by a drastic change in expression. He jumped straight up: "Where's my Nine Sun Jade... Where did the Nine Sun Jade go! The Nine Sun Jade is gone!"

Things placed inside the Heavenly Poison Pearl should never be lost. But the Nine Sun Jade, bestowed upon him by the Golden Crow Soul Spirit, had vanished without a trace!

"Idiot, you're only noticing now? Have you forgotten how your Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal and Purple Crystal Essence disappeared back then!" Mo Li said in exasperation.

Yun Che's eyes widened, then his face turned green, and his head felt like it had swollen to twice its size. He roared: "Hong'er... you come out here!"

A flash of red light in front of Yun Che, and Hong'er appeared before him, light and airy. But she looked half-asleep, as if just awakened from a dream. She rubbed her somewhat hazy eyes with her little hands, her voice drowsy and confused: "Master, why did you call me out all of a sudden? You disturbed my sleep."

Hong'er's half-open eyes held four parts sleepiness, three parts confusion, and three parts innocence. Combined with her cute little face, she forcibly suppressed the anger that had just risen in Yun Che's chest. He curled his lips and said in a trembling voice: "Y-you... you ate the Nine Sun Jade?"

"Hmm? Nine Sun Jade? What's that? Is it delicious?" Hong'er blinked her vermilion eyes.

"It's that golden-yellow... stone about this big!" Yun Che gestured with his teeth clenched.

"Hmm... oh!!" Hong'er's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became excited, her sleepiness dissipating entirely: "So that's it! When Master gave that to me, I ate it! That thing was really tasty, especially, especially delicious... even tastier than that 'Nong Que'! I haven't thanked Master for giving me such delicious food yet. Thank you, Master, hehe."

"~!#¥%……"

When he gave it to her... so two months ago, on the very day the Golden Crow gifted him the Nine Sun Jade, she had already eaten it!

Wait! Who the hell said it was for you to eat!! Thank you my foot!

"You... really ate all of it? While eating... you didn't feel any discomfort... or anything strange?" Yun Che's voice trembled even more. The Nine Sun Jade—the divine object that, according to Mo Li, could destroy the entire Illusion Demon Realm if all its power was released! When he had held it in his hands back then, both his hands and heart had trembled. And Hong'er... she had eaten it... eaten it!

"Huh? Discomfort? Why would I feel discomfort?" Hong'er tilted her head in confusion, then suddenly opened her mouth: "Oh right! After eating that thing called... um, that Nine Sun Jade thing, my body suddenly felt very comfortable, and I really wanted to sleep. Even stranger, after that, I didn't feel hungry for a very, very long time. Master, Master, do you have any more of that delicious Nine Sun Jade? I want to eat more!"

"~!#¥%……" Mo Li was only abnormal in terms of profound force intensity. But this Hong'er—she was abnormal from head to toe! Even her very existence was something abnormal!

Want more... want more my foot!

Do you think Nine Sun Jade is candy!

"Hmph, high-level swords and profound jades are Hong'er's food. The former can be converted into her spiritual power, and the latter can be converted into the profound force of the Primordial Mystic Ark. You yourself threw the Nine Sun Jade into the Heavenly Poison Pearl—that's no different from placing it right at her mouth. Who can you blame?"

Yun Che was speechless... How could he have known that Hong'er could even eat this!

"However, the greatest use of the Nine Sun Jade for you at present is to power the Primordial Mystic Ark. It was meant to be eaten by Hong'er anyway, because this is the only way to inject profound force into the Primordial Mystic Ark."

Mo Li slowly materialized. She stood together with Hong'er—one with eerily blood-red hair, the other with light, ethereal vermilion hair: "Summon the Primordial Mystic Ark. With the Nine Sun Jade's profound force, it should have undergone a tremendous change."

Yun Che obeyed and extended his palm. As he called forth with his will, the Primordial Mystic Ark, which had been lying idle in the Heavenly Poison Pearl for a long time, appeared in his palm. But its appearance was no longer the dim, gloomy dark red of before. Instead, it took on the same vermilion color as Hong'er's hair and eyes, while a mysterious and profound aura rippled around the ark.

"This is..." Yun Che was briefly stunned. Then, from the Primordial Mystic Ark, he felt an unmistakably clear soul connection. He tried to focus his mind and manipulate it with his thoughts...

Instantly, the Primordial Mystic Ark rose into the air, moving to the position his mind directed in an instant. It quickly grew larger, expanding to his desired size, then rapidly shrank back, returning to his palm.

Yun Che shifted his thoughts again, and he vanished entirely, along with Hong'er and Mo Li who were before him. Only the Primordial Mystic Ark remained floating quietly in its original position.

As Yun Che issued the mental command to enter the Primordial Mystic Ark, the world before him switched rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a vast stone hall. Around him were walls stretching endlessly into the distance, and above him was a ceiling so high he couldn't see the top. Beneath his feet was a tall, circular stone platform... at the end of the platform, there was a passage barely wide enough for one person to enter.

This was actually the towering ancient castle he had entered when he first explored the Primordial Mystic Ark. Beneath his feet was the very place where he had rescued Hong'er.

Yun Che was dazed for a moment, then slightly shifted his thoughts. Instantly, the scene outside—that is, the area surrounding the Primordial Mystic Ark's current location—appeared with perfect clarity in his mind. He moved his thoughts again, and this imagery materialized into a tangible picture spread before his eyes.

"As expected of a divine object from the ancient era, truly extraordinary." Mo Li appeared beside him, looking around. Even her small face showed a hint of surprise.

"This is... too incredible!" Yun Che drew in a breath. The soul connection that had suddenly emerged—he tried each function one by one, and all succeeded. He could freely control the movement of the Primordial Mystic Ark, change its size at will, enter and exit with a thought, and while inside the Primordial Mystic Ark, he could clearly see the outside world at any time.

Yun Che had seen mystic arks before... but one that was magical to this degree—he had never even heard of such a thing!

Moreover, within that soul connection, there was a clear sense of "space shuttle." That is, if Yun Che issued the mental command to "shuttle three thousand li east," the Primordial Mystic Ark would instantly tear through space and appear three thousand li to the east!

In the blink of an eye!

And the clearest point in that soul connection was this—he only had secondary control over the Primordial Mystic Ark! That is, this incredibly inconceivable mystic ark, which could almost rival the Mystic Heaven Supreme Treasures, had him as only its second master.

The primary control was in Hong'er's hands!!

In other words, when Yun Che and Hong'er gave conflicting commands to the Primordial Mystic Ark—Hong'er wanting it to go east while Yun Che wanting it to go west—the Primordial Mystic Ark would directly ignore Yun Che's command and obediently head east.

For another example, if Hong'er got angry one day and wanted Yun Che to get out of the Primordial Mystic Ark, Yun Che would have no choice but to obediently leave. But if Yun Che wanted to throw Hong'er out of the Primordial Mystic Ark... that would be absolutely impossible.

In conclusion—although the Primordial Mystic Ark had been revived by the powerful profound force of the Nine Sun Jade, if Yun Che wanted to use it comfortably, he first had to please and serve this "big shot" Hong'er.

And if he wanted to comfortably use the "Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword," he also had to please and serve this "big shot" Hong'er.

In short... of the two girls he "carried around with him," Mo Li was both his master and had to work hard as his guide. And Hong'er... was a supreme big shot who didn't have to do anything and still needed to be well taken care of!!
