533. The Secrets of the Ancient Continent

"Greetings, Ancestor!" Lin Fei said upon seeing the elderly figure with white hair and beard. He immediately guessed the identity of the person before him. The Great Dream Ancestor!

Observing the Great Dream Ancestor, connected by so many threads, densely interwoven, supporting the entire Great Dream City, even upholding the entire realm of dreams.

This terrifying power, even if it was just the power of dreams, surpassed Lin Fei's understanding. It was as if one person was upholding an entire world, even the Divine Realm.

Was that even possible? But it seemed the Great Dream Ancestor was doing exactly that. If the Great Dream Ancestor disappeared, and ceased to enter the realm of dreams, would Great Dream City still exist?

For a moment, Lin Fei could somewhat understand why the Great Dream Ancestor was always in slumber. But this was the Ancestor's way of cultivation!

"Whoosh."

The Great Dream Ancestor opened his eyes. "You are Lin Fei? Good, good. With just five thunder tribulations, your physical body can reach the brink of shattering the void. If you transcend another tribulation, you will definitely achieve the shattering of the void. However, you must be aware that shattering the void is not everything; your true goal is to master a complete Dao, to become a Martial Ancestor. So, your journey is still long."

The Great Dream Ancestor seemed to see right through Lin Fei. In front of the Ancestor, Lin Fei appeared to have no secrets!

Lin Fei's heart tightened, and then he respectfully said, "Ancestor, I have come to inquire about the Ancient Continent. Once I achieve the status of True Monarch, will I be unable to enter the Ancient Continent again?"

This was Lin Fei's most pressing concern.

"Ancient Continent... Given your origins from the Ancient Continent, it's not surprising you have such questions. Generally, once someone becomes a True Monarch, they cannot enter smaller worlds anymore. The might of a True Monarch is too terrifying for a small world to withstand, causing it to collapse instantly.

However, not all small worlds are the same. Some small worlds can not only withstand a True Monarch but even Martial Ancestors and True Immortals. Therefore, we categorize them accordingly. Worlds that can withstand a True Monarch are called 'True Monarch-level small worlds.'

Those that can withstand Martial Ancestors and True Immortals are called 'True Immortal-level small worlds.' But no matter how formidable a small world is, if it's a small world, it cannot withstand a Supreme Being. And a small world cannot give birth to a Supreme Being. Supreme Beings can only be born in the Divine Realm! The Ancient Continent, as you may have heard, is the foundation of our Ancient Covenant. It has given birth to True Immortals and Martial Ancestors.

Therefore, the Ancient Continent is also a True Immortal-level small world. Even if you become a Martial Ancestor, you can enter, let alone a True Monarch. However, the Ancient Continent is somewhat special. As the foundation of the Ancient Covenant, only those with special contributions or special reasons are allowed entry!"

Lin Fei's eyes brightened. He understood. The Ancient Continent being a True Immortal-level world meant he could indeed enter it. However, gaining access to the Ancient Continent was not so simple, with resistance coming from the Ancient Covenant.

"How exactly can I enter the Ancient Continent?" Lin Fei asked.

The Great Dream Ancestor smiled slightly and said, "In fact, apart from certain special reasons, only True Immortals or Martial Ancestors, and specifically those from our Ancient Covenant, can enter. But you fall under a special reason. Any Martial God or Deity Transformation cultivator who has come to the Divine Realm from the Ancient Covenant has one opportunity to return. You just need to apply, and you can return to the Ancient Continent.

However, you only have this one chance. So, when to use this opportunity is up to you. This chance is not just about going back to settle your family matters. More importantly, the Ancient Continent actually harbors some secrets. Once you return to the Ancient Continent, you can obtain certain benefits. Therefore, this opportunity is crucial!"

Lin Fei understood. He could return to the Ancient Continent, but only once. This opportunity seemed to be tied to some secrets of the Ancient Continent, offering certain benefits.

Thinking about it, it didn't seem surprising. The Ancient Continent, capable of giving birth to the Dao Integration True Immortals and Martial Ancestors, surely wasn't simple. There must be secrets.

Otherwise, the Ancient Covenant wouldn't have so strictly sealed off the Ancient Continent. Once this opportunity was used, to return to the Ancient Continent again, he would have to become a True Immortal or a Martial Ancestor.

Lin Fei fell into deep thought. He knew that if he wished, he could immediately use this opportunity to return to the Ancient Continent.

"Ancestor, can you tell me what are the benefits of the Ancient Continent?" Lin Fei asked.

The Great Dream Ancestor, with a somewhat smiling expression, said lightly, "I cannot tell you. Revealing it in advance is not a good thing. But I can give you a hint. The secrets of the Ancient Continent are related to the Dao Integration True Immortals and Martial Ancestors. Consider your choice carefully."

Lin Fei was struck by this revelation. Although the Great Dream Ancestor didn't specify, the hints were enough. The secrets of the Ancient Continent were related to Martial Ancestors and True Immortals. Meaning it might aid in achieving the status of Martial Ancestor or True Immortal!

Such a significant secret, no wonder the Great Dream Ancestor wouldn't disclose it. No wonder the Ancient Covenant so tightly guarded the Ancient Continent.

The last time, when Taotie "sneaked" into the Ancient Continent, he likely didn't know this secret. It showed how closely guarded this secret was by the Ancient Covenant.

Lin Fei pondered. He hadn't been in the Divine Realm for very long. All things considered, it was about a year. In just a year, he believed that the Ancient Continent likely hadn't undergone any major changes. Therefore, he made up his mind with determination.

Lin Fei solemnly said, "Thank you, Ancestor, for resolving my doubts. I shall take my leave."

"Go ahead."

With a respectful farewell, Lin Fei departed.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei's consciousness returned, and he abruptly opened his eyes. He found himself still in his secret chamber. However, the recent events in the Great Dream City were vivid in his mind. Clearly, he had indeed met the Great Dream Ancestor.

But thinking back on the state of the Great Dream Ancestor, Lin Fei felt a profound sense of mystery.

"The Dao. The Great Dream Ancestor's Dao may well be related to dreams. To master a complete Dao is to become a Martial Ancestor!"

Lin Fei murmured softly. Yet, he was still far from becoming a Martial Ancestor. Not to mention "the Dao", he hadn't even acquired many laws. He currently possessed only twenty-five world laws.

"I cannot return to the Ancient Continent for now. At least not until I reach the pinnacle of a True Monarch, or even while attempting to comprehend 'the Dao.' Then, I can return to the Ancient Continent. Perhaps at that time, I can gain tremendous benefits there, paving the way to become a Martial Ancestor. Since I'm not going back to the Ancient Continent, I can start using the origins of the worlds, to become a true Martial True Monarch who can shatter the void! Even, to continue transcending tribulations until I pass the ninth thunder tribulation!"

Lin Fei took a deep breath. His mind was made up. He could no longer contend for small worlds because there were no Martial Gods or cultivators searching for them. Should Lin Fei just wait indefinitely? That was impossible!

Constantly suppressing his strength was not a solution. He needed to elevate himself when necessary. With a thought, the origins of one hundred and three small worlds suddenly appeared before him.
