Five millennia later, Qin Hanchu arrived at the periphery of the Taiyin Divine Realm.
Just as he had speculated, True Origin power could indeed refine the Taiyin Cold Wind into the World-Ending Cold Wind.
Ten millennia later, Qin Hanchu directly entered the sea of the Taiyin Cold Wind.
The power of this sea of wind was terrifying. It could freeze those who entered into blocks of ice and blow them into powder.
Having already cultivated the World-Ending Cold Wind, Qin Hanchu was naturally unafraid of the Taiyin Cold Wind's onslaught.
Time flowed on, and Qin Hanchu "drifted and sank" within the Taiyin Cold Wind for tens of thousands of years.
While Qin Hanchu was cultivating, the first Ancestor was finally born in the universe.
This Ancestor was not human; it was forged from an Origin Supreme Treasure.
In the subsequent days, several more Origin Supreme Treasures reached the Ancestor stage.
It wasn't until fifty thousand years later that the first human Ancestor appeared.
Across the universe, a man clad in a green robe was traversing the starry sky.
This man was none other than Qin Hanchu's disciple, Zhu Xiao.
After nearly a hundred thousand years of cultivation, Zhu Xiao had now cultivated to the Divine Emperor realm.
"Master, are you still alive?"
Zhu Xiao had always wanted to see Qin Hanchu again. But now, having cultivated to Divine Emperor, he couldn't find Qin Hanchu anywhere.
Another ten millennia passed, and an Ancestor arrived at the Taiyin Divine Realm.
The woman's true form was an Origin Jade Flute. She was considered the first Ancestor to arrive at the Taiyin Divine Realm in this epoch.
The moment the woman entered the sea of wind, Qin Hanchu opened his eyes.
After these ten thousand years of cultivation, the World-Ending Divine Flame within Qin Hanchu had merged with the World-Ending Cold Wind, becoming True Origin power.
Qin Hanchu had now accumulated a large amount of World-Ending Cold Wind and was preparing to return to the Great Sun Divine Realm to refine the World-Ending Divine Flame.
"Finally, an Ancestor has appeared. I wonder when the key to the Great Sun Divine Hall will emerge." For tens of thousands of years, Qin Hanchu finally stood up.
As Qin Hanchu stood, the surrounding Taiyin Cold Wind became even more violent.
"Who are you?"
Qin Hanchu walked outward, while the Origin Jade Flute walked inward. They met in the sea of wind.
Seeing Qin Hanchu emerge from the Taiyin Divine Realm, the Origin Jade Flute's gaze was filled with shock.
She had assumed no one had entered this place yet, but she hadn't expected someone to come out from within.
Had she been too late?
Qin Hanchu smiled indifferently, "Is your realm Ancestor?"
"What is the Ancestor realm?"
With different epochs, the designations for realms had also changed.
The Origin Jade Flute was somewhat surprised. What realm was Qin Hanchu referring to?
"Then what is your realm?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Heavenly Venerate!" The Origin Jade Flute stared at Qin Hanchu and said, "The Ancestor you mentioned should be a title for my realm, shouldn't it?"
"Yes, Heavenly Venerate and Ancestor are indeed of the same level." Qin Hanchu nodded with a smile, "Go in. There are many treasures inside."
"You would leave if there were treasures?" Qin Hanchu's words puzzled the Origin Jade Flute greatly. If there were truly treasures, wouldn't Qin Hanchu have already plundered them all?
Qin Hanchu said, "The treasures here are useless to me."
"You didn't take them because they're useless?" the Origin Jade Flute asked.
"You're not thinking of fighting me, are you? Although you've reached Heavenly Venerate, you're no match for me."
Having been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, Qin Hanchu really wanted someone to chat with.
As he spoke, his tone was filled with a hint of teasing.
"Is that so? I'd like to try." The Origin Jade Flute believed that the treasures within the Taiyin Divine Realm must be on Qin Hanchu. How could she let Qin Hanchu leave her sight?
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Very well. It's been nearly a hundred thousand years since I've fought anyone. I'll play with you then."
"Your ability to talk big is impressive," the Origin Jade Flute scoffed. "Don't tell me you've been a Heavenly Venerate for a hundred thousand years."
"I don't know how many years I've been a Heavenly Venerate. I was already a Heavenly Venerate before you were born."
As an Ancestor from the previous epoch, Qin Hanchu's statement was entirely accurate.
"You dare insult me!" the Origin Jade Flute angrily rebuked.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "I'm just speaking the truth."
The Origin Jade Flute opened her palm, and a ball of green power condensed in it. "Since that's the case, you must be very strong!"
"Yes, much stronger than you should be." Qin Hanchu kept his hands behind his back and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. But after you lose, you have to be my maid."
"You court death!" Hearing Qin Hanchu telling her to be his maid, the Origin Jade Flute was utterly enraged.
She struck out abruptly, her green light transforming into thousands of green chains that rushed towards Qin Hanchu.
Facing her attack, Qin Hanchu made no move.
He stood in place with a smile, letting the chains rush towards him.
Qin Hanchu's actions made the Origin Jade Flute frown. She couldn't understand what Qin Hanchu was trying to do!
Just as the chains reached Qin Hanchu, the surrounding Taiyin Cold Wind suddenly formed a vortex around him.
This vortex spun rapidly, directly shattering the Origin Jade Flute's attack.
Due to the appearance of the Taiyin Cold Wind vortex, the entire sea of wind became violent.
This sudden change startled the Origin Jade Flute, her eyes widening. She hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be able to stir the Taiyin Cold Wind to his will.
Facing this terrifying storm, the Origin Jade Flute hastily used her full power to resist.
"Not good!" The Origin Jade Flute felt her shield being subjected to a terrifying assault. If she didn't leave immediately, her shield would soon be broken by the Taiyin Cold Wind.
At this very moment, the previously violent Taiyin Cold Wind suddenly dissipated.
With Qin Hanchu and the Origin Jade Flute at the center, a windless space appeared.
Qin Hanchu remained with his hands behind his back, standing in place. "If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as flipping my hand."
"You… what kind of existence are you? Did you perhaps originate here?" The Origin Jade Flute looked at Qin Hanchu with disbelief. Qin Hanchu's ability to control the cold wind of this place was truly astonishing.
"Go in and seek opportunities. There are treasures on the Sun God Tree in the Great Sun Divine Realm as well. I'll wait for you in the Great Sun Divine Realm."
After speaking, Qin Hanchu turned and walked into the spatial-temporal passage.
"This…"
Seeing Qin Hanchu enter the spatial-temporal passage, the Origin Jade Flute's expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
Even without the Taiyin Cold Wind, it would be impossible to open a spatial-temporal passage here. Yet Qin Hanchu had done so so easily.
In front of Qin Hanchu, the Origin Jade Flute felt like a mere child.
She didn't even qualify for Qin Hanchu to unleash his true combat power.
"Next time you see me, remember to call me master, or I won't mind obliterating your soul."
At that moment, Qin Hanchu's voice suddenly appeared in the Origin Jade Flute's sea of consciousness.
The Origin Jade Flute was stunned into silence for a long time. Qin Hanchu's strength filled her with dread.
She had thought she was already invincible in this world, but she never expected the existence of someone as terrifying as Qin Hanchu.
Could there be a higher realm beyond Heavenly Venerate?
How many people were as strong as Qin Hanchu?
