The Longevity Family: Starting from the Foundation Establishment Ancestor

The black warship sailed in the chaotic sea, surrounded by endless chaotic mist, obstructing visibility. Even Han Mu's divine sense could only probe a range of a hundred miles.

"My lord, this Chaos Sea is too big. We've been flying for half a month, and all we've encountered are chaotic storms and spatial rifts. We haven't come across anything else," Luo Feng complained as he sat at the bow of the ship, idly counting the stars.

"The Chaos Sea is boundless, said to be even larger than all the heavens and myriad worlds. We have only explored the tip of the iceberg," Zhou Meng said.

"Then we'll be exploring this for ages," Luo Feng sighed.

"No rush, take your time, we'll find an opportunity eventually." Han Mu stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes closed, sensing the fluctuations of the laws in the chaotic sea, searching for places where secret realms or ruins might exist.

Suddenly, Han Mu opened his eyes and looked to his left.

"There's some noise over there, let's go check it out."

The warship turned and flew to the left front. After flying for about half an hour, a huge black vortex appeared in front of it. The vortex slowly rotated, emitting a terrifying suction force, and the surrounding chaotic energy was sucked into it.

"My lord, this is a chaotic vortex, extremely dangerous. Once sucked in, even a Sovereign Realm expert would find it difficult to escape." Han Li's voice came through the communication talisman, filled with tension.

"A chaotic vortex, there seems to be something inside." Han Mu probed the vortex with his divine sense and sensed a palace deep within it.

"My lord, you don't want to go in, do you?" Luo Feng's face turned pale.

"Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to go in and take a look," Han Mu said with a smile. With his current strength, even if he were trapped in the chaotic vortex, he would have a way to escape.

"My lord, I'll go in with you," Zhou Meng said.

"No need. You all wait outside. I'll go in alone. If I don't come out in three days, you can go back to the Holy Domain first. Don't wait for me." After Han Mu finished speaking, he flew into the chaotic vortex.

Upon entering the vortex, Han Mu felt a powerful tearing force that seemed to want to rip him apart, but the power of the Sovereign protected him, and the tearing force could not harm him. Han Mu followed the vortex passage downwards and quickly arrived at the bottom of the vortex.

At the bottom was a huge black palace, built of an unknown black stone, exuding an ancient and weathered aura. The palace gates were tightly closed, and intricate runes were engraved on the gates, which shimmered with an eerie light.

Han Mu walked to the door, reached out and pushed it, but the door didn't budge. He put more force into it, but still couldn't move it.

"There's something strange about this stone door." Han Mu frowned and carefully examined the runes on the door. He discovered that these runes were an ancient sealing formation that required specific techniques to unlock.

After studying it for a while, Han Mu discovered that this sealing formation was similar to an unsealing method in the Time Guardian inheritance. Following the method in the Time Guardian inheritance, he inscribed runes on the door, and after a moment, the stone door made a clicking sound and slowly opened.

Behind the door was a long corridor with murals on the walls on both sides depicting the birth and evolution of the Chaos Sea. As Han Mu walked and looked at the murals, he gained a deeper understanding of the Chaos Sea.

At the end of the corridor was a huge hall. In the center of the hall was a stone platform, on which floated a black bead the size of a fist, which emitted a strong aura of chaos.

"The Chaos Pearl, the primordial treasure of the Chaos Sea." Han Mu's eyes lit up. The Chaos Pearl was a treasure nurtured by the Chaos Sea, containing the origin of chaos. If he could refine it, it would greatly benefit his cultivation.

Han Mu stepped forward and reached for the Chaos Pearl. Just as his hand was about to touch the Chaos Pearl, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of the Chaos Pearl and blocked his hand.

The phantom was an old man dressed in a black robe. His face was blurred, but his eyes were deep, as if they contained endless stars.

"Young man, the fact that you've come this far shows you have some skill, but this Chaos Pearl is not something you can take," the black-robed elder said in a hoarse voice.

"Senior is..." Han Mu asked warily. He felt that the old man in black robes was dangerous, even more so than Lei Di and the other two.

"I am the Lord of Chaos," the old man in black robes said calmly.

Han Mu was startled. The Lord of Chaos, the embodiment of the will of the Chaos Sea, the being that the Thunder Emperor spoke of who far surpassed the Sovereign Realm.

"Junior Han Mu greets Senior Lord of Chaos." Han Mu bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities. Your presence here indicates a connection with the Chaos Pearl. However, if you wish to take the Chaos Pearl, you must pass my test," said the Lord of Chaos.

"What kind of test?" Han Mu asked.

"It's very simple. Take three of my palm strikes. If you can still stand after those three strikes, the Chaos Pearl is yours," said the Lord of Chaos.

Han Mu's expression was solemn. What kind of existence was the Lord of Chaos? Three blows from him were not so easy to withstand. But he did not back down. He came to the Chaos Sea to improve his strength. If he didn't even dare to withstand three blows, how could he talk about becoming stronger?

"Please enlighten me, senior." Han Mu adopted a defensive stance.

"Good, you have guts. First strike." The Lord of Chaos unleashed a palm strike. The palm print appeared ordinary, yet it contained the laws of chaos, as if the entire chaotic sea was pressing down upon him.

Han Mu dared not be careless and activated the Coffin of Origin with all his might. The phantom image of the coffin lid appeared and blocked in front of him.

The palm print slammed onto the coffin lid, producing a deafening roar. Han Mu was forced back three steps, and cracks appeared in the illusory image of the coffin lid, but it blocked the palm strike.

"Not bad, it can withstand 30% of my strength in one palm strike. The second palm strike." The Lord of Chaos struck again, this time with 50% of his strength.

Han Mu gritted his teeth and summoned the Eternal Furnace to defend against the Origin Coffin.

As the palm print landed, the Coffin of Origin and the Eternal Furnace trembled simultaneously. Han Mu was thrown back and crashed into the wall, spitting out blood, but he remained standing.

"Not bad, you can still stand. Third strike." The Lord of Chaos used seventy percent of his strength this time, and the entire hall trembled as he unleashed his palm strike.

Han Mu knew he couldn't block this palm strike, but he didn't back down. He concentrated all his power on the Coffin of Origin and the Eternal Furnace, preparing to withstand it head-on.

Just as the palm print was about to land, the Lord of Chaos suddenly withdrew his hand, and the palm print dissipated.

"Not bad. You've already earned the right to receive the Chaos Pearl after you've refined it twice. I'll wait until you've refined the Chaos Pearl for the third strike," the Lord of Chaos laughed, his figure vanishing.

The Chaos Pearl flew to Han Mu, who grasped it and felt the vast chaotic origin contained within, which filled him with joy.

"Thank you, senior." Han Mu cupped his hands in thanks to the void.

"Go, after refining the Chaos Pearl, you will understand many things." The voice of the Lord of Chaos echoed in the void.

Han Mu put away the Chaos Pearl, left the palace, and flew out of the Chaos Vortex.

"My lord, you're out. Are you alright?" Zhou Meng and Luo Feng greeted them.

"It's nothing, I even got something good." Han Mu said with a smile, taking out the Chaos Pearl.

"This is the Chaos Pearl, the primordial treasure of the Chaos Sea," Zhou Meng exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, with it, my strength can be further improved." Han Mu put away the Chaos Pearl and led the two back to the Holy Domain.
