Extra Story: The Small Universe Takes Shape!

Mountain top.

"The Scarlet Snow City Lord actually possesses a Domain Flying Boat?"

Ji Ning sat cross-legged on a huge rock, then suddenly opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.

"No wonder he was chasing after me and Jiuchen. It turns out that the Sith Clan Dharma Disk that we obtained earlier is a key component for repairing the Domain Flying Boat."

"Haha, now that he's been killed by our eldest brother through causality, it's actually benefited us."

A Domain Flying Boat!

Even when damaged, their value remains astonishing, enough to drive the Dominator mad.

Thinking that he and Jiuchen now had the Domain Flying Boat, which would give them a better chance of survival in the perilous ' Yaohuo Realm ', Ji Ning felt a deep sense of relief.

"What makes you so happy?" a gentle voice asked.

Ji Ning turned his head and saw Zhou Hao's Dharma Body, dressed in black robes, stepping out from the void.

"I was just about to go find my elder brother." Ji Ning hurriedly got up from the boulder. "Jiuchen and I have been searching for a hundred years, and we have just found the true form of the deceased Scarlet Snow City Lord."

"Oh? Looks like you've had a great haul." Zhou Hao walked over with a smile.

Back then, in the Scarlet Snow Holy City, through cause and effect, no matter how far apart they were, he directly killed all the avatars and Dharma Body of the Scarlet Snow City Lord. Because he knew that the Scarlet Snow City Lord's true body was in the Yu Star Sea, not far from Ji Ning and the others, he immediately told Ji Ning to remember to find it.

The other Eternal Emperor, unaware of the true whereabouts of the original body and weak in strength, are probably not worth mentioning; they likely don't possess any particularly amazing treasures either.

However, an Eternal Emperor of the Lord of the Holy City level, whose wealth is second only to the Dominator, is not someone to be let go of.

"It's huge." Ji Ning nodded excitedly. "The biggest gain is a Domain Flying Boat. Although it's damaged, it's still usable."

"Domain Flying Boat?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder Damo gave you the comment 'Thrilling but safe, extraordinary encounter' for this prediction. With this Domain Flying Boat, you certainly deserve the title of 'extraordinary encounter'."

"That's also my brother's good fortune," Ji Ning said with a smile. "Once Jiuchen and I come out of the Yu Star Sea, we'll send the Domain Flying Boat to my brother."

In Ji Ning's heart, he had received a lot of care from Brother Zhou Hao over the past millions of years. From the initial teaching of the Dharma and the rescue of his senior sister, to the guidance he received on his cultivation and enlightenment, he even helped him comprehend the Ultimate Sword Dao.

Let alone a damaged Domain Flying Boat, even if it were intact, I only had the opportunity to obtain it because Brother Zhou Hao killed Scarlet Snow City Lord. Therefore, this Domain Flying Boat should naturally belong to Brother Zhou Hao.

"Yu Star Sea is as large as a domain, and it's fraught with danger. You two should be careful on your journey. There's no need to send it to me specifically." Zhou Hao smiled and shook his head. "My true body can travel through time and space faster than Domain Flying Boat. My Second Primordial Spirit and Dharma Body are mostly stationed in the Dao Academy and the Three Realms, so having Domain Flying Boat would be useless to me. You need it more than I do when you're out there adventuring."

"But..." Ji Ning was not about to take advantage of Brother Zhou Hao for nothing.

"It's settled then." Zhou Hao waved his hand. "If I really need it, I can just borrow it from you, right? You're not going to lend it to me, are you?"

Although Domain Flying Boat is needed to reach the Supreme Cave Abode, since Lord Dafeng has said he will come to pick me up, I'm not in a hurry, so I won't bother.

"How could that be! As long as I have it, please just ask, brother," Ji Ning replied.

He could also tell that Brother Zhou Hao genuinely didn't care about the Domain Flying Boat.

Since I still need to use it within the Yu Star Sea, there's no point in arguing about the ownership of the Domain Flying Boat now.

We'll talk about everything when I get back.

If Brother Zhou Hao really won't accept it, I'll use it for now, and then pass it on to Zhou Yu when he grows up and ventures into the Chaos.

After discussing the Domain Flying Boat, Ji Ning, remembering that Zhou Hao had come specifically for this purpose, asked, "Brother, did you come to see me for something?"

"There is something," Zhou Hao nodded. "My request to see the Supreme One has yielded results, but it will take several thousand years before the journey can take place. During this time, you and Rulai Houyi can go to the Scarlet Snow Holy City to cultivate."

"Does my elder brother want my Second Primordial Spirit to take them along and stay in Scarlet Snow Holy City to oversee things from now on?" Ji Ning suddenly realized.

Of all the immortals and demons who have emerged from the Three Realms, apart from Brother Zhou Hao whose strength has reached an unbelievable level, the strongest is himself, Heavenly Dao Lord at the third level of the Ultimate Sword Dao.

Although not at the level of the Lord of the Holy City in the Eternal Emperor, he is comparable to the top level among the Eternal Emperor. With the help of the many formations within the Holy City and the rules of the Dao Alliance, he is more than capable of guarding a Holy City.

"That's right." Zhou Hao nodded. "My Second Primordial Spirit's Dharma Body is stationed in the two eternal realms of Damo and Zhouguang, protecting the immortals and demons who venture out from the Three Realms. My main Dharma Body is stationed in the Three Realms, and the Scarlet Snow Holy City will be entrusted to you. This can also be considered a kind of training."

"Understood," Ji Ning replied.

"And one more thing," Zhou Hao continued, "When your true form emerges from the Yu Star Sea, remember to return to the Three Realms. The Blue Flower Cave Abode I mentioned before, I've now thoroughly investigated it..."

Zhou Hao briefly described the situation inside the Blue Flower Cave Abode, leaving Ji Ning dumbfounded.

"This is wonderful! It was left behind by a Supreme, containing all the methods of the two great cultivation universes, as well as the inheritance of the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao and the Supreme Path..." Ji Ning was extremely excited, wishing he could send his true self back right now to visit the Blue Flower Cave Abode.

However, the Yu Star Sea is the most dangerous place in the Flame Dragon Domain. The area that has already been explored exceeds the entire Flame Dragon Domain. Even the Dominator would lose his life if he was not careful. How could he just come out as he pleases?

"Don't rush, the Blue Flower Cave Abode isn't going anywhere," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "Yu Star Sea is an ancient battlefield from the Ancient War, full of opportunities, including heaven-defying inheritances and treasures. Perhaps the extraordinary encounter that Damo predicted for you hasn't truly occurred yet. Explore it thoroughly, accumulate more knowledge, and it will benefit your future enlightenment..."

As the male protagonist of the original novel, Zhou Hao never doubted Ji Ning's destiny and opportunities.

Is Yu Star Sea the first deadly place?

It's often in these most desperate situations that incredible opportunities and chance encounters arise!

"Hmm?" Zhou Hao suddenly paused, Ji Ning looked at him in confusion.

Suddenly, Zhou Hao's Dharma Body emitted a terrifying sense of pressure. As Ji Ning watched, he felt that Zhou Hao's eyes were like an endless dark abyss, and the space around him seemed to be about to collapse at any moment, forming a terrifying void.

"Big brother?" Ji Ning called softly.

"I suddenly had an epiphany, so I'm going into seclusion. Remember what I just told you."

The words still echoed on the mountaintop when Zhou Hao's figure had already disappeared from Ji Ning's sight.

"Brother has gained some new insights? It seems to be about the Dao of Space." Ji Ning recalled his earlier sensations, and even felt that the spatial fluctuations emanating from Zhou Hao Dharma Body more profound and powerful than his own third level of Ultimate Sword Dao.

"Could this be yet another Ultimate Dao?" Ji Ning wondered.

How could that be!

He himself had comprehended the Ultimate Sword Dao, so he naturally knew how difficult this path was.

"Perhaps it's because my elder brother has made another breakthrough in the Ultimate Taiji Dao." Ji Ning stopped thinking about it and transformed into a stream of light to go find Rulai and Houyi Yi.

Blue Flower Cave Abode.

The white-robed Zhou Hao, who was originally studying and comprehending the methods in the jade slips, had already disappeared from the cave.

Instead, there was a vast Small Universe with a faintly transparent membrane...

The white-haired old man, the Cave Abode Spirit, stood in a corner of the quiet room, looking at the Small Universe that almost filled the entire quiet room, which spanned billions of miles. Feeling the vast origin within it, he had a strange feeling, as if he had followed his master to the Origin of Chaos Universe.

"What exactly does Lord Zhou Hao cultivate... how can he possess a universe?"

"Those Supreme, including Master, were able to create other universes based on their own Origin of Ten Thousand Daos, but they were still relying on the power of the Chaos Universe's origin."

"Why does Zhou Hao Hao's Small Universe feel to me like it's an existence on par with the entire Chaos Universe...?"

The white-haired old man, being the spirit of the Blue Flower Cave Abode Spirit, was Supreme Qi's personal immortal Immortal Mansion before Supreme Qi's demise. He traveled with his master throughout the entire Chaos Universe and witnessed Supreme Qi's countless cultivations and the creation of alien universes.

His knowledge and insight far surpassed that of all Dominator and Lord of Alien Universe.

Even after racking his brains, he still couldn't understand why Zhou Hao possessed such a strange Small Universe.

Although this universe is far too small compared to the entire Cultivator Universe, and its primordial energy is far too weak, it is still far smaller than the alien universe created by the Supreme.

The alien universe that the Supreme just created, even without a master to control it, had a diameter of hundreds of billions of miles in the chaos.

Once it has a master to refine it, it will become vast and expansive, no less than a domain.

However, the white-haired old man was certain that, on a cosmic level, the Small Universe before him, even if inferior to Cultivator Universe, was absolutely superior to all the alien universes created by the Supreme.

Within Small Universe.

"A diameter of one hundred million miles?" Zhou Hao stood amidst the endless chaotic currents, sensing his own universe.

Originally, Small Universe condensed within his body. Even with the integration of the perfect Ultimate Taiji Dao, it was only a mixture of reality and illusion, possessing only the origin of the universe. At most, it could manifest illusory images of the cosmic starry sky, more like a chaotic mass.

But today, after comprehending another Ultimate Space Dao, he integrated the perfect Ultimate Space Dao into the Small Universe origin within his body.

Instantly, the seemingly real yet illusory chaos truly evolved into a cosmic framework.

Yes.

Although he had never experienced it before, Zhou Hao knew that the Small Universe he was currently able to manifest outside his body was just a framework of the universe.

Or rather, it has a real cosmic space with chaotic air currents inside, but everything a true universe must have, such as time, light, darkness, earth, water, wind, fire, etc., is still missing.

Even so, it sensed the massive amounts of chaotic energy being drawn from the Chaos Universe outside, and even from the wider and higher worlds beyond the Chaos Universe, by the newly born Small Universe framework.

The chaotic power that surged forth every moment was more than a billion, a hundred billion, or even a trillion times greater than what he could absorb himself. Zhou Hao was left only with excitement and awe.

This is actually quite normal.

After all, no matter how strong a living being is, it is limited by the size of its body and can only absorb so much chaotic power. How could it possibly compare to a Small Universe with a diameter of one hundred million miles?

Like the Cultivator Universe, which supplies countless immortal and demonic cultivators with opportunities to cultivate, fight, and reproduce, and countless realms and Chaos Universe are born and die, the amount of chaotic energy and primordial power consumed and absorbed in it is immeasurable.

"My initial assumption was correct!" Zhou Hao exclaimed excitedly.

"Based on the Ultimate Taiji Dao, condense Small Universe chaos, and then integrate other Ultimate Dao to enrich the fundamental structure of the universe..."

"Once I reach the Supreme Realm's ' One Dao Gives Birth to Ten Thousand Daos,' that Small Universe will become a true Chaos Universe, and even, in terms of level, it will be comparable to Cultivator Universe."

Zhou Hao no longer dared to think about what level of powerful being could create the Blue Flower Tenth-Layer Chaos Restriction.

Even with his current level of understanding and mastery of two Ultimate Dao, he still couldn't comprehend the tenth level of the Blue Flower Chaos Restriction. Zhou Hao understood that the great power's methods were far beyond his imagination, even surpassing the Supreme, a great existence above all cultivators.

"Unfortunately, although the chaotic power of the Small Universe is more than a trillion times that within my own body, it's only increased in quantity, not in quality, so it can't be used to transform my divine body," Zhou Hao thought to himself. "It seems I can only wait for the Small Universe to truly transform before my physical body can also transform."

Wow~~~

The expanding cosmic membrane quickly retracted, and the entire Small Universe was once again drawn back into Zhou Hao's body.

The chaotic space that was originally located in the dantian seemed to become even more mysterious after absorbing the Ultimate Space Dao.

As long as Zhou Hao is willing, he can mobilize the primordial energy within his Small Universe and the virtually inexhaustible chaotic divine power with a mere thought.

His soul and true spirit were also nurtured by the origin of Small Universe in the chaotic space, making him more than ten times stronger than before.

"From now on, we won't need to borrow the power of chaos from the Cultivator Universe to perform secret techniques and engage in combat."

"Even if I fought for hundreds of millions of years, my own Small Universe wouldn't be able to deplete its resources. In fact, it wouldn't even be able to replenish itself as quickly as my internal universe."

"Moreover, once the other universe is refined and placed, it's as if it's taken root and can no longer be moved. And the farther the master is from the other universe, the greater the consumption of the source power. How can it be as convenient as me, which can be released and put away at any time?"

Zhou Hao let out a long breath, feeling a surge of pride.

"I wonder if, while fighting the Supreme now... if I suddenly put the Supreme into Small Universe, I could still kill Supreme..."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Zhou Hao shook his head and dismissed it.

There are only a handful of Supreme in the entire Chaos Universe.

The loss of even one Cultivator Civilization.

He had read about the brutal battles fought by his own cultivators against the Sith Clan in ancient times from various ancient texts.

If it weren't for the few Supreme beings who fought desperately, the entire Chaos Universe would have been occupied and seized by the Sith Clan, and all races would have been wiped out.

Zhou Hao stopped thinking about it and continued to study the countless jade slips and their methods.

This quiet room contains a time acceleration array, which can maintain a thousand-fold time acceleration even for Supreme.

Therefore, although it seems that Zhou Hao only took a hundred years to comprehend the ultimate spatial principle, it actually took him a hundred thousand years.

Even so, it was only because the Void Holy Lord's inheritance he received was the two strongest paths of the Space Dao. Afterwards, his Small Universe underwent four stages of development: ' Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu ', which deepened his understanding of the Space Dao. His realm was already high, and he was Supreme Qi by the twelve volumes of the Ultimate Dao left by the Supreme Qi, as well as the foundation provided by countless methods of the Space Dao. Only then was he able to comprehend the ultimate Space Dao within 100,000 years.

To comprehend and master other Ultimate Dao is not so easy.

Inside the cave dwelling of Supreme Hongran.

A gray sphere, shrouded in countless secret patterns, floated in mid-air.

Each of those secret runes was perfectly formed, allowing all the energy in the gray sphere to be contained within, without leaking out even a trace.

"Heh heh, finally this treasure is fixed."

"I've figured out the principle behind the operation of the secret runes. With a little more time, I can create some weapons suitable for cultivators, modeled after this treasure."

The two fleshy whiskers on the head of the Supreme Hongran twitched from side to side as he reached out and lightly touched the gray sphere.

Wow~~~

All the secret patterns instantly converged, as if they were engraved on the surface of the gray sphere, and were then collected by Supreme Hongran.

Supreme Hongran sensed the time and immediately grinned. "Only 100,000 years? I'm getting smarter and smarter."

Oh, right.

There's another Dao Lord's pursuing the Ultimate Dao that I haven't seen yet.

Supreme Hongran suddenly remembered the report from his servant ' Xian'er ' from 100,000 years ago.

"Hmm?" Supreme Hongran's divine sense swept across the entire cave space.

Didn't come?

"Xian'er!"

Supreme Hongran Being stormed into the palace in a huff, and with a casual reach, grabbed the young man in blue who was drinking.

The young man in blue robes still held a wine cup in his right hand, but the wine had spilled all over him. Seeing that Supreme Hongran was full of anger, he hurriedly asked, "What are your orders, Master?"

"I'm asking you, why hasn't that Changsheng Dao Lord, whom you said you would come to see me, arrived yet?" Supreme Hongran glared at him. "Didn't I tell you to bring him? Did you slack off and not go?"

"Master, didn't you say he should come by himself?" The young man in blue robes asked with a bitter face. "I've already given you the location of your cave, and I even told you to..."

"He's just Dao Lord; even if he were to die, he couldn't come!" Supreme Hongran exclaimed in exasperation.

"If he truly is Dao Lord on the verge of achieving the Ultimate Dao, do you know how precious time is to him?"

"If the time you waste causes a Ultimate Dao Lord who could have achieved Dao Integration to ultimately fail, do you know how great a loss that would be for us cultivators?"

"You, you, sigh... I'm so smart, how could you be so stupid?" Supreme Hongran shook his head helplessly.

"Never mind, I'll just go myself."

After saying that, Supreme Hongran his hand, leaving the boy in blue behind, and then quickly departed, traversing time and space.

"I, I..." The young man in blue was on the verge of tears.

Last time, you were the one muttering to yourself, saying, "The Dao Lord's lifespan is limited to 108,000 Chaos Eras, so a little longer won't make a difference." I heard you!

Why are you blaming me now!

And I specifically told Dafeng to pick them up...

"This Dafeng, it's been a hundred thousand years, and he still hasn't managed to recruit a Dao Lord?" The young man in blue turned back to the palace, full of resentment.
