Dual Cultivation of Time and Space (Seeking Follows)

Inside a courtyard on Three Pure Ones Mountain.

Wu Yun had been here for several years, constantly skimming through various Daoist scriptures. This place housed countless supreme techniques, the worst of which were created by top-tier Heavenly Immortals.

Techniques on the level of the Three-Foot Sword could not even enter this collection.

Studying the supreme techniques created by others was of great benefit to one's own cultivation. It was a form of accumulation; the more profound the accumulation, the higher the probability of a breakthrough.

"If I can comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth or the Streamer Great Dao within a thousand years, I should have a thirty percent chance of success." Wu Yun set down a scroll of the Space Illusion Realm. His understanding of the Dao was now much deeper.

Even if the Three Pure Ones did not take him as a disciple, just coming here had allowed Wu Yun to gain a great deal, giving him hope of becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal.

"To be safe, I should create my own supreme technique and reach a strength near that of a Pure Yang True Immortal while still a Heavenly Immortal. That way, I will have a hundred percent chance of being accepted into the sect of the Three Pure Ones."

A thirty percent chance was still too low; Wu Yun had always preferred to play it safe.

Previously, Wu Yun had mainly studied the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Streamer Great Dao, and the Dao of the Staff. This was not enough to reach a level near that of a Pure Yang True Immortal.

For instance, the Absolute Immortal Sword Realm of Tonghe Heavenly Immortal combined the Five Elements with Taiji. The level of such sword art was in no way inferior to that of an ordinary Pure Yang True Immortal.

The realm of the Dao and the level of a supreme technique could not be equated.

Beyond that, he needed to comprehend a third-level power—for instance, third-level power of Heaven and Earth, third-level power of the Staff, or even third-level Heart Force.

Wu Yun had not even comprehended the first-level power of the Staff, so he chose to walk the path of combining Great Daos to create a higher-level supreme technique.

For example, using the Dao of the Staff as a foundation, he could fuse parts of the mysteries of the Streamer Great Dao and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, then combine them with several other Daos. Once successful, he would be able to reach a strength near that of a Pure Yang True Immortal.

On the other side, in the Swallowed Star world.

The flow of time was identical across all worlds. Even if Wu Yun were to draw the Cang Yuan Diagram world in the future, it would be the same. If he did not hurry his cultivation, his Desolate Era clone might die of old age while he was taking a nap.

While Heavenly Immortal Wu Yun was still painstakingly studying the combination of Daos, World Lord Wu Yun had already arrived at Chaos City, where he would choose a Chaos Stele suitable for himself.

Having just arrived, Wu Yun felt a bit uneasy. He worried whether the Chaos City Lord would be able to peer into the Golden Core within his body.

In terms of life essence, Wu Yun was stronger than an ordinary World Lord. A third-grade Golden Core could still live for 108,000 Chaos Epochs; even three reincarnation eras were not as long as that.

(One Chaos Epoch = 108 trillion years.)

But this was entirely unnecessary worry, as the Chaos City Lord only cared about whether those entering Chaos City were human; what kind of origin core or the like they had inside them did not matter at all.

The universe was vast, with trillions of races and a great many special life forms. Even the strongest in the universe would not dare to claim they knew everything. Perhaps in some corner light-years away, there existed a unique special life form.

The vast majority of special life forms had higher gene multipliers, so their forms of life manifestation varied greatly.

"Have you possessed a special life form?" The Chaos City Lord merely glanced at him lightly and could not be bothered to care. It was enough for him to confirm that Wu Yun possessed a human soul.

In truth, after becoming a Heavenly Immortal, one's true spirit and soul would fuse perfectly into the Golden Core. However, Wu Yun's soul was stronger than that of a normal Heavenly Immortal, and he had gained the World Lord level out of thin air.

This resulted in Wu Yun having a larger total soul volume, which was stored within the Origin Bead. What the Chaos City Lord saw was precisely the human soul within the Origin Bead.

The Golden Core, much like an Immortal god, could not be directly peered into at all.

Entering Chaos City for the first time, Wu Yun was granted one opportunity to contemplate a Chaos Stele, with seven days to observe it. After that, he would have to go and challenge the Heavenly Bridge.

When challenging the Heavenly Bridge, his third-grade Golden Core would be of no use.

Wu Yun looked through all 52 Chaos Steles and their corresponding diagrams. He was well aware of how many Universe Lords humanity had in total; the rest were likely left behind by Universe Overlords.

He first looked at the Giant Axe Chaos Stele, left behind by the only True God humanity currently possessed. That diagram was filled with a sense of power, a feeling of wild, surging energy.

It was the same Law of Space, yet the way it was interpreted was completely different.

In reality, the mainstream cultivation in the universe consisted of the two paths of Time and Space.

Perhaps there were some Chaos Steles that followed the path of fusion, but the vast majority were still based on Time and Space. Although Wu Yun was following the path of the Law of Space, he also had ideas regarding Time.

After becoming a Venerable and mastering a complete high-level law, most would choose to contemplate another high-level law rather than a path of fusion.

Chaos Steles purely focused on space, such as the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and the Dragon Walk Chaos Stele, were excellent.

For the path of time, there was the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele.

"I choose the Universe Chaos Stele." Wu Yun stood before the Universe Chaos Stele for a long time. Its endless mysteries left him intoxicated, and he gritted his teeth to choose this most difficult of Chaos Steles.

The Universe Chaos Stele involved studying the two high-level laws of Time and Space simultaneously.

If one comprehended them fully, one would immediately become a Universe Lord.

In terms of difficulty, it was even higher than the Giant Axe Chaos Stele. Bo Lan had been very ambitious and chose the Universe Chaos Stele, only to struggle bitterly ever since.

Wu Yun only dared to make this choice because he relied on having clones in other worlds.

If he had become an Immortal through the Law of Water, it would be impossible for him to cultivate the Law of Time afterward.

This had nothing to do with anything else; it was because the divine body of an Immortal god was composed of immortal divine power, which was closely linked to the origin laws.

If one became an Immortal using the Law of Water and then tried to contemplate the Law of Time, the possibility of improvement was basically zero. Wu Yun, however, did not have this worry, as his two clones shared their realms.

The Blood Luo Continent clone could simply give up on researching the Law of Water.

Gaining the recognition of the origin laws during the World Lord stage was fine, even if he comprehended it to the tenth level of the Heavenly Bridge; as long as he did not use that specific origin law to become an Immortal, there would be no impact.

"You choose the Universe Chaos Stele?" The black-robed messenger responsible for receiving newcomers smiled. "No one is currently contemplating the Universe Chaos Stele. You may go over there directly now."

Practitioners who dared to choose the Universe Chaos Stele were even rarer than those who chose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele.

The Universe Chaos Stele left behind by the Chaos City Lord truly points toward a broad and smooth path; if one can achieve even a minor accomplishment on it, becoming a Venerable is quite easy.

"He has already been acknowledged by the Law of Water, yet he still chooses the Universe Chaos Stele?" King Pujin was stunned after receiving the news, and he immediately reported it to Venerable Shihuo.

The reason for letting Wu Yun enter the Giant Axe Secret Realm was that Venerable Shihuo felt the other party had some potential, and with systematic cultivation, becoming a Marquis should be no problem.

Perhaps he could even become a King.

"Let him experience it himself; the Universe Chaos Stele can also be based on space, with time as a supplement," Venerable Shihuo said indifferently. "You don't need to say anything more."

Choosing the wrong chaos stele would merely mean wasting some years; Venerable Shihuo would not go out of his way to guide Wu Yun, as the path must be walked by oneself, and only after missing out will one understand what is right.
