The City Lord of Chaos's Request
After giving his instructions, the Chaos City Lord seemed to want to answer Jiang Yao's questions and continued, "Monsters in the universe are generally divided into three categories: demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and divine beasts. A typical example is the Starry Sky Behemoth, which is called the Starry Sky Divine Beast."
"But besides that, there are some Special Lifeform, some of which are even Special Lifeform and extraordinary. The Bizhang you possessed should be one of these."
"I have an avatar that is also an extremely powerful Special Lifeform. These special Life Gene Level. For example, your current body has 47 times the genetic level, and it will continue to grow in the future."
"The strength of these Special Lifeform lies in the fact that once they grow up, their strength becomes extremely extraordinary. Fighting opponents of higher levels is commonplace for them; Immortal God can fight against Universe Country Lord."
The Chaos City Lord solemnly warned Jiang Yao: "Once this Special Lifeform achieves the status of Universe Venerable, it is very likely to become an incomparably terrifying existence among the Universe Venerable. No matter how small your chances of becoming Universe Venerable are, once the Alien Race find out, they will definitely invest huge resources to try to kill you in the bud."
"Therefore, you must never reveal Bizhang's true form!"
Seeing Jiang Yao nod respectfully, the Chaos City Lord relaxed and smiled, "The Special Lifeform form you possessed does indeed have some talent for the Path of the Beast God, but since you've made up your mind to cultivate the Universe Chaos Stele, I won't stop you. However, you need to meet my requirements first before I will accept you as my personal disciple!"
The Chaos City Lord said, "A year ago, Jinfu advised you that if you chose the Shenfeng Chaos Stele and could pass the Tenth Layer within 500 years, Law Comprehension would be comparable to that of Immortal God, then he would bestow upon you the <Suishen Secret Code>. After you comprehend the second level and reach the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, he would bestow upon you the Beast God Inheritance Token."
"But since you have chosen the Universe Chaos Stele and even become my disciple, my expectations of you will naturally be raised."
"1000 years," the Chaos City Lord laughed. "If you can pass the 12th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge within 1000 years, I will accept you as my personal disciple."
The 12th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge?
Although 1000 years is twice as long as 500 years, how could the gap between the 10th and 12th levels be bridged in 500 years? And this is the 12th level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge.
Jiang Yao pondered, "Does that mean I have to reach the level of traversing the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, within a thousand years?"
"My standards for accepting disciples have always been the same," said the Chaos City Lord. "I don't care whether you use the Space-Time Law or the Path of the Beast God, as long as you pass the 12th level within a thousand years."
"If you use the Path of Time and Space to pass the 12th level, then you must at least comprehend the first three diagrams of the Chaos Stele, which are 216 kinds of time and space essences. Generally speaking, those who can comprehend the first three diagrams of the Chaos Stele within 3000 years are already considered peerless geniuses. The Universe Chaos Stele is the most difficult of the 52 Respects."
"If you want to pass the 12th level using the Path of the Beast God, then whether it's the <Suishen Secret Code> or the <Star God Six Transformations>, you must at least have a deep understanding of the first level. The difficulty is no less than comprehending the first three diagrams of the Universe Chaos Stele within a thousand years."
The Chaos City Lord looked intently at Jiang Yao: "How you cultivate and what choices you make are up to you, but I will give you more support."
"Youyuan Venerable is my seventh disciple. For the next 1000 years, you may consult your Seventh Senior Sister at any time regarding the Mysteries of Laws of the Universe Chaos Stele."
Jiang Yao immediately bowed to Youyuan Venerable: "Seventh Senior Sister, I'll be troubling you from now on."
Youyuan Venerable snorted lightly, "My standards are very high. If you don't have enough comprehension, I might not have the patience to teach you."
The Chaos City Lord chuckled softly, looking at Jiang Yao: "If you encounter any questions while cultivating the <Suishen Secret Code> or <Star God Six Transformations>, you can also ask your Seventh Senior Sister for guidance. Although she hasn't cultivated the Path of the Beast God, she can still find someone to teach you."
"In addition, I will also bestow upon you some resources, granting you an extra 20 opportunities to comprehend the <Universe Chaos Stele>," said the Chaos City Lord. "Go, and I hope you can cross the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge within a thousand years."
"Yes." Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully, and then disappeared into the Chaos Ruins.
Youyuan Venerable continued to stare at the spot where Jiang Yao had disappeared, and after a long while, he asked in a deep, resonant voice, "Teacher, I have never heard of Beast God having offspring..."
The Chaos City Lord had a deep and calm expression. "Beast God are unique life forms in the universe, embodiments of the eight Fusion Law, and they cannot have offspring."
"Then just now..." Youyuan Venerable's eyes, as deep as the universe, revealed a hint of disbelief. "Bizhang's original form clearly exuded an extremely harmonious divine aura, and it was also two kinds of Beast God Intent. Although the profundity of the intents could not compare with that of a true Beast God, it was still..."
The Chaos City Lord gently shook his head, his eyes as unfathomable as a vast ocean. "Has anyone else seen Jiang Yao's original form?"
Youyuan Venerable quickly replied, "Only Lingcang Marquis of the Xuanshang Universe Country has seen it, but the Xuanshang Universe Lord will restrain him."
The Chaos City Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. "Xuan Shang is a man of principle, I trust him. Don't reveal this matter to anyone, including those within the Virtual Universe Company."
"Yes, teacher, I know what's important."
"Once the Alien Race find out, they will definitely go crazy. Even the Ancestral God Sect's reaction is uncertain. At that time, Jiang Yao will have no chance to leave the Initial Universe to train. But without training, one cannot become a strong person."
Youyuan Venerable nodded. What kind of Special Lifeform Bizhang was, and what his relationship was with the Beast God, was not actually the most important thing.
In a strict sense, the Beast God can be considered Special Lifeform. However, the strength of the Beast God lies not in its Special Lifeform power, but in the fact that it represents a path that can be climbed, a lineage that can be followed.
This is the biggest difference between the Beast God and other Special Lifeform. After all, there are many cases where other Special Lifeform forms have Universe Master or even greater beings. In terms of power, the Beast God is not the strongest among all Special Lifeform.
The eight Beast God are merely eight more powerful Universe Master, yet they are the foundation of the Ancestral God Sect, the strongest force in this Primal Universe.
Because the Path of the Beast God is a path that can be replicated and passed down, it is this path that allows the Ancestral God Sect to recruit the most elite geniuses from Myriad Races in the universe.
Whether or not Bizhang can reach the realm of the Beast God, it will not affect the Beast God Intent he contains. As Bizhang grows, the Beast God Intent may become even stronger, which is absolutely priceless for the Human Race that is being ostracized by other forces in the Ancestral God Sect.
Behind it may lie countless potential King-level Immortal and Universe Venerable.
The key to protecting Jiang Yao without hindering his training lies in striking the right balance. The best approach is to ensure that Bizhang's special abilities are never exposed before Jiang Yao becomes truly powerful.
Youyuan Venerable asked in confusion, "Master, why don't you take him as your personal disciple?"
The Chaos City Lord revealed a smile, "Jiang Yao's good fortune is a great blessing for our Human Race. However, his temperament still needs to be tempered, otherwise he will suffer sooner or later. He must understand as soon as possible that if he wants to gain something, he must give up something else. It is impossible to grasp everything. I need to force him to make a choice. He will only know to turn back after he hits a wall."
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Yao logged into the Virtual Universe and returned to his manor on Yuxiang Mountain.
"1000 years and 20 opportunities to comprehend..." Jiang Yao shook his head slightly. He didn't really care about this reward, because the nine pictures of the Universe Chaos Stele had already been engraved in his Xu Yuan Space in the form of Yan Script texts, and he could comprehend them at any time.
This is also the source of his confidence in choosing the extremely difficult path of the Universe Chaos Stele.
However, he was still very happy to receive guidance from Youyuan Venerable.
As for Youyuan Venerable, King Jingluo had previously told him that Youyuan Venerable was the seventh disciple of the Chaos City Lord, and could be considered the strongest among all of the Chaos City Lord's disciples, even surpassing Venerable Guiyi.
Although Youyuan Venerable is not among the strongest in the Human Race, he is widely recognized as the most likely among the current Universe Venerable to become the Universe Master, lacking only the final step in mastering the Space-Time Law.
Moreover, Youyuan Venerable had two close friends, the Xuanshang Universe Lord and Guluo Venerable.
The Xuanshang Universe Lord is a powerhouse on par with Youyuan Venerable. Although Guluo Venerable is slightly weaker, he has inherited the Beast God Inheritance and is also a Fire Path of the Beast God. He is also Guardian Venerable of the Ancestral God Sect's outer organization.
Youyuan Venerable, the Xuanshang Universe Lord, and Guluo Venerable can be considered a very powerful faction within the Virtual Universe Company.
With the ability to constantly study the images on the Chaos Stele, receive guidance from Youyuan Venerable, and with the upcoming birth of the next Desolate God Chiling, Jiang Yao was confident that he could comprehend the first three images of the Universe Chaos Stele within a thousand years.
However, the most urgent task is to upgrade the Xu Yuan Space.
Jiang Yao calculated his points and wealth. After winning first place in the Genius Tournament, he received a prize of 10,000 Hunyuan Unit.
In addition, there are 10,000 free points.
After passing through the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge, you will receive a total of points due to the tenfold reward over the next 30 years.
Add them up and you get the points.
He originally planned to purchase some secret manuals related to the Universe Chaos Stele, but because of King Jingluo, he was allowed to comprehend the first level of the <Youyuan Secret Codex> for free. Therefore, Jiang Yao did not spend a single point before comprehending the Chaos Stele.
"First, you need to buy the complete Inheritance Secret Technique corresponding to the seven lower-level laws!"
He had already obtained the complete Inheritance Secret Technique of inheriting the Origin Law of Water on Yuluo Island in the Jiuyuan Holy Land; it was a legacy left behind by the Jiuyuan.
Jiang Yao sat in front of the computer, selecting a secret manual. He and Bajie discussed and debated as they went. In order to ensure that no accidents would happen, he gritted his teeth and bought the Inheritance Secret Technique of the lower-level laws that was said to be recorded by Immortal God Marquis-level had been granted titles.
They used up all their points to purchase seven complete sets of lower-level law Inheritance Secret Technique.
Points deducted, remaining points.
"Please wait, someone will deliver the secret technique shortly."
Jiang Yao then looked at the two secret manuals of the Path of the Beast God: the <Suishen Secret Code> and the <Star God Six Transformations>.
However, he simply cannot afford it.
Even the first level.
The "Suishen Secret Code" consists of seven books, and the first book requires 8 million points!
The "Star God Six Transformations" series consists of six books, with the first book requiring 2 million points!
Even with a 30% discount for Primal Secret Region Member, they still couldn't afford it.
Bajie sniffed and pondered, "I looked at the rules. The easiest way to earn points is to conquer the Primal Heaven-Reaching Mountain. Conquering the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain rewards you with 100 million points, but you can only get it when you become a Realm Lord, and you can't conquer it now."
"You can also earn points by completing tasks, but you can only accept tasks after you leave Chaos City and go to the Primal Secret Realm."
"You can also earn points by continuing to conquer the Heavenly Bridge, but you'll probably have to clear at least the 14th floor to afford the first copy of the <Suishen Secret Code>."
Jiang Yao was somewhat taken aback. "Right now, we can't even afford cultivation manuals, let alone purchase enough treasures and resources to cultivate the third level of the 'Zhenhuang Sacred Body,' or even to cultivate Crimson Thunder Grass seeds."
In the original novel, the 107 sets of scriptures that King Zhenyan gave to Luo Feng (including the first three levels of the Seven Changes of Yanshen) cost a total of 8 billion points.
Among them, 106 sets of ordinary books cost 6 million points, which means that the first three books of the Seven Changes of Yanshen are worth 8 billion points, showing that the secret manuals of the Path of the Beast God are quite expensive.
