Chapter 329: Questioning Mythology

Bei Ming thought Xiao Fan was asking him.

"How did the Human Race survive without a Cultivation system?"

Bei Ming looked confused and muttered as he turned his gaze toward Xiao Fan.

"Ah…"

Xiao Fan was startled; he had been lost in thought and accidentally blurted out what he was thinking.

"What was the question you just thought of? Let's hear it; I'm a bit curious too."

Bei Ming looked at Xiao Fan.

Although Xiao Fan's strength was very weak, possessing a divine object like the Enlightenment Seed meant there must be something extraordinary about him.

Xiao Fan scratched his head and smiled, "I've made a fool of myself before Elder Bei Ming… Actually, I just thought that when Chaos first opened and the Human Race was born, all kinds of powerful Yao Beasts existed back then…"

"At that time, the Human Race had no Cultivation system and their intelligence hadn't even fully awakened… So how did they survive in that environment?"

"How did they endure until today…"

Bei Ming was stunned, and then he also began to mutter in a low voice…

He suddenly felt that Xiao Fan's question seemed simple on the surface, but in reality, it wasn't simple at all.

In the ancient era, all races stood together and coexisted…

According to ancient records, the Yao Beasts and creatures of the ancient era possessed power that could destroy heaven and earth.

With a casual wave of a hand, they could turn the world upside down and cause the heavens and earth to change color.

So how did the Human Race survive to this day?

"Then what do you mean?"

Bei Ming thought for a moment, but he still had no clue.

The higher one's Realm, the deeper their understanding of the Dao, and the more intense their desire to explore the essence of things.

And Xiao Fan's question just now indeed touched Bei Ming.

If it were someone in a high Realm, even a powerhouse of the Xuandan Realm…

Even if Kong Ping, He Yutang, Jiang Yushan, and others were here,

they probably wouldn't understand how shocking what Xiao Fan just said was!

They would believe what was recorded in ancient books and have unshakable faith in what their predecessors left behind…

But when one's Cultivation reaches the Yuanhun Realm and they Cultivate a Primordial Spirit that can merge into the Great Dao,

only then would some previously misunderstood questions appear in the mind.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know if my guess just now is correct either. I just suddenly felt some enlightenment in my mind… but I can't quite put it into words."

While speaking, Xiao Fan also touched his Dantian.

Seeing this action, Bei Ming understood, knowing it was the credit of the Enlightenment Seed, and hurriedly said, "Tell me."

Xiao Fan nodded…

"In the ancient era, the Human Race must have been one of the weakest races, left at the mercy of others. Even if they crafted stone or wooden tools, it wouldn't have mattered; they could never have been a match for powerful races like the Kunpeng or True Dragon. Even against weaker Yao Beasts, the Human Race likely couldn't have held their own."

Hearing that crafting stone and wooden tools wasn't very useful, Bei Ming felt a bit of annoyance in his heart; this was the honor of an Artifact Refiner.

However, he also knew that what Xiao Fan said was true, so he didn't interrupt and continued to listen…

"If the Human Race couldn't compete, then who created the Cultivation system?"

"And during the process of creation, how did the Human Race survive?"

"How strong was this creator? Did they also start becoming stronger step by step from the Body Tempering Realm, Tongtian Realm, and Xuandan Realm like us?"

"And would those powerful Yao Races like the True Dragon, Kunpeng, and Qilin just sit by and watch the Human Race grow stronger?"

"…"

Xiao Fan's voice was a bit loud as he blurted it out.

It was as if he was resolving Bei Ming's doubts, and also as if he was resolving his own…

However, in the end, he didn't give an answer.

Hearing this, Bei Ming was stunned again…

It was truly because what Xiao Fan said made too much sense.

"Then, what do you think happened?"

Bei Ming's voice was a bit hurried, his eyes fixed on Xiao Fan, eager to know the truth.

Xiao Fan glanced at him and guessed what the other was thinking, but he shook his head…

"I'm not sure either. This is all just speculation…"

"What exactly happened in the ancient era… no one knows…"

Xiao Fan sighed.

The tone of the two men's conversation at this moment was completely like that between peers.

Xiao Fan even faintly took on the air of a teacher, while Bei Ming became a student with a voracious thirst for knowledge.

The Enlightenment Seed had just trembled slightly, giving Xiao Fan many insights…

However, there was no final answer.

If it were when Xiao Fan was weak, he probably wouldn't have thought about these things.

He would have believed that the ancient books passed down and the myths passed down by ancestors were true.

But…

He had now changed his mind.

It wasn't because his Realm was high or his understanding of the Dao was deep.

It was because of the existence of the star chart.

The Enlightenment Seed giving him insights was one aspect.

The mystery of the Zhou Tian Star Chart further allowed him to perceive things beyond ordinary understanding.

He now knew how rare divine objects of heaven and earth like the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang were.

But such things were actually inside the star chart.

What rank was this supreme treasure exactly?

Xiao Fan believed that the star chart must have surpassed the so-called Heaven Rank…

And in all the ancient records existing within the Nine Provinces, there had never been any myths or legends related to a supreme treasure of this level…

"What you said… makes some sense, but some parts still can't be explained."

Bei Ming lamented a bit. Hearing Xiao Fan's words just now made him question those ancient books and myths as well.

Suddenly…

Xiao Fan was startled, as if he had noticed something was wrong.

Wasn't he the student?

Hadn't he come to try and see if he could activate the fourth stage of the star chart?

Why were they chatting about this?

And that old fellow Bei Ming was still there lamenting…

"Cough… Elder Bei, let's not talk about this for now. Tell me some other knowledge about Artifact Refining. I want to learn…"
