Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon turned his head to glance at Zhang Chen, his eyes full of peculiarity, scrutinizing Zhang Chen up and down as if he were looking at a monster.
"What’s wrong? Could it be that I guessed correctly?" Zhang Chen was also taken aback by the expression of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, feeling a bit uncertain in his heart. Could it be that he really guessed right?
Upon hearing Zhang Chen’s words, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon shook his head: "I’m puzzled as to how you could know the word ’Pangu’."
"Don’t worry about how I know, just tell me if my guess is true or not." Ever since Zhang Chen obtained the Upper Pure Talisman Technique, he had some suspicions in his heart, but there was no more evidence to prove it. Later, when he heard the names Nine Revolutions Profound Skill and Buzhou Mountain, Zhang Chen grew suspicious, but there was no more evidence to corroborate it, as he had not found any evidence related to the Primordial World yet.
Now, standing at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, he merely asked a question, but the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s reaction was beyond Zhang Chen’s expectations. Could his supposition really be true?
Zhang Chen started to get a bit excited. If he truly arrived in the Primordial World, how extraordinary would that be? Wouldn’t he be seizing the first opportunity?
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon didn’t answer Zhang Chen’s words but instead asked, "Do you know what the word ’Pangu’ represents?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen’s eyes turned to the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, pondering the meaning behind this question. Since the other party asked, it certainly wasn’t simply ’creating the heavens and the earth, transforming into all things’.
As Zhang Chen deliberated on how to respond, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon said, "Pan, like Jade Plate, represents a perfect circle, flawless and complete. So, the word ’Pan’ represents Great Perfection. ’Gu’ refers to ancient times, representing the long river of time that traverses past and future, signifying vast time. Combined, the two characters ’Pangu’ stand for Great Perfection."
"In ancient times, there was a Supreme Demon God who reached an unknown realm, whose cultivation was flawless, and could progress no further. He could traverse the river of time and space, could control the birth and destruction of heaven and earth, could create worlds, could transform all beings, gather all destinies, and was the ultimate evolution of the Dao. Later generations, unaware of his name, began to call him Pangu. The realm of Great Perfection was thus named after Pangu."
"I see." Zhang Chen felt a tempestuous wave in his heart: "So, the Buzhou Mountain before us...?"
"That’s right, it is the transformed spine of Pangu. What we see as the base of the mountains is formed from his pelvis, and the top of the spine is already broken," said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.
Upon hearing the other’s words, Zhang Chen fell silent. The Great Freedom Celestial Demon spoke of Pangu, but he couldn’t ascertain whether this was the Pangu he knew from his own understanding.
"It shouldn’t be the Primordial Chaos, right? If it were truly the Primordial Chaos, how could traces of Saints be erased? There’s no record of worshipping the Three Pristine Ones in this world," Zhang Chen pondered.
Moreover, he was sure that in the mythological Primordial Chaos, there would be no Princess, nor would there be an era of the Emperor, nor would an Emperor slaughter countless Celestial Gods and Demons to create a new era for humanity.
Such power didn’t even exist among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
If it truly were the Primordial Chaos, would you dare to massacre Divine Demons indiscriminately, without consulting Emperor Haotian? Without asking the six Saints? Without consulting Hongjun Ancestor?
"Something seems off," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
"You still haven’t said how you know of Pangu, this realm?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon asked beside him with a deeper implication, suspecting Zhang Chen might be an old acquaintance from the past, otherwise how could he possess such formidable power?
Zhang Chen did not respond to the Great Freedom Celestial Demon’s question. He wanted to maintain his aloofness and mystery in front of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, so as not to embolden this old fellow.
"Climb the mountain!" Zhang Chen merely replied with a sentence and began climbing amidst the mountains.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon saw Zhang Chen’s behavior and could only follow behind him, fuming.
The entire Buzhou Mountain was enveloped in a layer of mysterious rhythm, which turned into a pressure that caused Zhang Chen’s Magical Power to cease flowing. He had to rely on his agile body to climb amid the mountains.
Fortunately, Zhang Chen’s body had undergone several transformations, his steps light and swift, continuously leaping and bounding among the mountains, which could not impede him.
Zhang Chen’s physical strength was endless, and even his Crystal Core’s type was unknown, yet even in the face of the mystical pressure, it could provide him with an unending supply of blood to replenish his stamina.
As the two climbed, Zhang Chen’s mind started working again. His eyes looked at the lofty mountains, thoughts flickering in his mind:
"This Buzhou Mountain, flowing with divine rhythm, should be considered mysterious, right? I wonder if I can pick up any skills on Buzhou Mountain."
He harbored a faint hope in his heart; after all, this was the mysterious Buzhou Mountain. Even the most useless skill dropped would be a treasure trove for him.
Only, Zhang Chen was unclear about the pattern of skill drops. By rights, when he had previously tangled with the Ba Snake, which was also considered strange, it should have given him a skill drop. Yet, who knew, the Ba Snake didn’t drop even a single hair?
So Zhang Chen was filled with confusion: What was the basis for his skill drops?
"Could it be that the Ba Snake doesn’t qualify as mysterious?" Zhang Chen was puzzled in his heart.
After all, the Ba Snake could be considered an Innate Spirit, and when he fought the Innate Mosquitoes in the Underworld, didn’t the Innate Mosquitoes drop skills?
