After reading the words on the title page, Feng Hui was deeply shaken.
"Teacher, who was this Cosmic Emperor?"
"I'm not sure. He was probably a mighty being from my Dongdi Clan," Teacher Wala replied.
Feng Hui asked nothing more.
Teacher Wala and the others probably thought that this mighty being called the Cosmic Emperor was a great figure from the Dongdi Clan.
But having read the original story, Feng Hui knew that this Cosmic Emperor was most likely not a being from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.
The Cosmic Emperor had been invincible throughout the Cosmic Sea. He must have possessed the top tenth-tier combat strength of a True God, much like the Primordial Ancestor of humanity in the Prime Universe!
The True Gods of the Holy Land Universes had all become True Gods during the Original Universe Era. After countless years, their miniature universes had long since decayed, leaving them to live with their Holy Land Universes as their only foundation.
Without their own miniature universes, even True Gods with Supreme Treasures and secret techniques could only be considered fairly strong. They could never dominate the Cosmic Sea.
Even after the Jin World arrived, not one of the eight Cosmic Sea overlords who led the fight against the World Beasts was a True God from a Holy Land Universe.
Besides, the way he spoke suggested that he had little regard for Dongdi Ancestor or the East Emperor Universe.
The Beizhen who had been entrusted with taking the inheritance away must have been Beizhen Star Lord, an immensely ancient True God from the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.
So this Cosmic Emperor must have been a mighty being born in the Prime Universe during some unknown Reincarnation Era. The extremely perilous undertaking he mentioned was likely an attempt to transcend reincarnation.
From these words, it was clear that the Cosmic Emperor had immense confidence in his own techniques and was incredibly proud.
He didn't want his life's work and inheritance to be lost.
So, before attempting to transcend reincarnation, he gave his inheritance and secret techniques to Beizhen Star Lord of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe, so that he could take them away and pass them down.
But from the looks of it, he must have failed to transcend reincarnation. Otherwise, there would have been three Holy Land Universes in the Cosmic Sea.
The treasure trove of Jiefanzi that Luo Feng later discovered had also been left behind by Jiefanzi, a top tenth-tier True God, before he attempted to transcend reincarnation.
How astonishing was Jiefanzi's Water-Fire Origin technique? Luo Feng believed that if it had been completed, its profundity might even have qualified it for the Core Inheritance of the Duandong River Lineage.
Yet in the end, like this Cosmic Emperor, Jiefanzi had failed to transcend reincarnation.
Feng Hui sighed inwardly.
Transcending reincarnation was incredibly difficult. Otherwise, there wouldn't be just two Holy Land Universes in the Cosmic Sea today.
Since Luo Feng had found the legacy of ancient powerhouses while exploring the Cosmic Sea, it was hardly surprising that the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe—where countless powerhouses had ventured out over an unknown number of Reincarnation Eras—had obtained some inheritances from ancient True Gods.
He turned to the next page.
The universe—the universe. What was the universe?
All directions, extending without limit: this was "yu," which represented the vast, boundless, and unfathomable expanse of space.
From ancient times to the present, through endless ages: this was "zhou," which represented the passage and eternity of time.
"Yu" represented space, while "zhou" represented time.
To comprehend the power of space was to grasp "yu"; to comprehend the power of time was to grasp "zhou."
When the two were united, one could truly master the space-time of the universe and become a Universe Master...
As he read the main text, Feng Hui's consciousness became completely absorbed in it. The words revealing the mysteries of space-time unfolded into endless visions within his mind.
Thanks to the Jade Pendant in his sea of consciousness, the thoughts of Feng Hui's two bodies were completely linked. What his Dongdi Clan clone saw, his human clone in Chaos City saw as well.
Suddenly, the human clone in Chaos City stirred slightly.
The Dongdi Clan clone had long since reached Cosmic Level, while the human clone had still been at the ninth rank of Stellar Level.
When water reached the brim, it overflowed. Though he hadn't deliberately trained, the human clone had already reached the limit of Stellar Level. Stimulated by his first reading of the Cosmic Scripture, he was about to break through naturally.
He frantically absorbed the universe's pure energy, forming a terrifying vortex.
The astonishing energy caused the nine miniature stars within Feng Hui to rapidly expand. In a brief moment, they grew about ten times larger.
The nine rapidly expanding stars trembled. In the blink of an eye, the largest one had reached its limit.
Bang!
The largest miniature star suddenly exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...
The other eight miniature stars had also reached their limits. Set off by the chain reaction from the first star's explosion, they burst apart as well, turning into countless stellar fragments and forming vast clouds of dust.
A moment later, everything settled.
The countless nebulae, star clusters, dust, and tiny planets produced by the explosion formed an enormous spiral galaxy.
At the very center of this vast spiral galaxy, tens of millions of tiny stars gathered together, and the galaxy had eight spiral arms.
In the densest part of the galaxy's core was an almost imperceptible patch of darkness.
There lay the first "black hole" to form in the entire spiral galaxy. This tiny black hole slowly devoured the surrounding stars and dust, while continuously producing even purer energy.
The human clone... had officially reached Cosmic Level!
In the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.
"Phew."
Feng Hui's Dongdi Clan clone took a deep breath and temporarily closed the book.
The Cosmic Emperor truly had been a peerless powerhouse who ruled the Cosmic Sea. Though the secret technique he had left behind was only the most basic opening chapter, it laid bare the true essence of space-time.
It had even inadvertently helped his human clone break through.
However, according to the book, the essence of the Cosmic Emperor's inheritance should all be in Dongdi Tower.
It seemed that he would have to make it through the Eastern Domain Tournament later—and earn the right to enter Dongdi Tower and obtain the Cosmic Emperor's Space-Time Path inheritance.
If the mighty being called the Cosmic Emperor had spoken truthfully, then the Space-Time Path inheritance he had left behind should be one of the most profound space-time inheritances in the Eastern Emperor Holy Land Universe.
Although becoming a True God required one to forge one's own path, this inheritance could at least lay a solid foundation in space-time. For someone seeking to become a Universe Master by cultivating both time and space, it could save them countless detours.
The Great Dao belonged to those who fought for it!
Since he had a chance to encounter this inheritance, he absolutely couldn't let it pass him by.
Feng Hui was determined to obtain it!
The Primordial Universe, Chaos City.
The city walls stretched away without end. Feng Hui walked along the main road toward the city gate.
"Now that my human clone has reached Cosmic Level, it's time to hunt Chaos Beasts and absorb Chaos True Spirits."
Though the Black-Robed Reception Envoy hadn't explained exactly what the third treasure of Chaos City was, Feng Hui, who knew the original story well, certainly hadn't forgotten about the wondrous treasure known as the Chaos True Spirit.
Some strange creatures could naturally be born in the Primordial Universe. These bizarre-looking creatures had been tentatively named "Chaos Beasts."
Chaos Beasts varied in strength. Each was born with an aptitude for certain Primordial Laws—some were skilled in many, while others were skilled in only a few.
After a Chaos Beast was killed, its body would immediately decay into large amounts of chaotic energy and a kind of emerald-green light. Those emerald-green points of light were Chaos True Spirits.
All one had to do was draw a Chaos True Spirit into the body, and the soul would absorb it directly. After absorbing a Chaos True Spirit, the soul would undergo some changes and become more compatible with the universe.
The more compatible the soul was with the universe, the more clearly and easily one could comprehend the Universe Origin Law.
Although they were only effective for those below Immortal, they were already an extraordinarily rare and wondrous treasure.
