This master he had picked up so easily was still a formidable fighter. At the very least, any Immortal King-level expert who entered this chaos space would be killed in an instant.
His way of doing things was also rather similar to Qin Feng's. Originally, when the Desolate Heaven Emperor fought alone in Above the Heavens and resurrected Emperor Bone Brother, he had intended for him to protect the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
But the fellow had simply abandoned the task the Desolate Heaven Emperor entrusted to him, run off to Above the Heavens, and become a sneaky ambusher, constantly launching surprise attacks on members of the Weird Clan.
He had lain low in Above the Heavens for countless years, seeking revenge against the Immortal Emperors who had ambushed him back then. After finally slaying a Path-End Tier being, he had returned from the source of the weirdness with emperor bones beneath his feet.
Their fighting styles really were very similar. More importantly, becoming his disciple would grant Qin Feng the complete upper, middle, and lower volumes of the Original True Explanation.
"Master, do you know about Above the Heavens? Have you been there before?" Qin Feng asked.
"Of course I know about it. Otherwise, how could those fellows have ambushed me back then?
"Back then, I had just attained the Dao and become an Immortal Emperor when I discovered the entrance to Above the Heavens. My stagnant cultivation actually showed a hint of movement.
"So I went there to explore and found some truly miraculous materials. I used the most precious of them to forge my Peerless Imperial Weapon. But you had best not try to take that weapon. The karma entangled with it is too great.
"As your master, I wouldn't mind, but I also have a Dark Body. That fellow is no good man. He's a great demon guilty of every conceivable evil.
"You don't need to know the details yet. Your cultivation is too weak right now. We'll discuss it once you become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!" Emperor Bone said.
This disciple had tremendous potential and was his hope of turning the tables. He could not let him encounter that darkness too early. At the very least, he had to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level before he qualified.
It would take this brat several million years at the very least to advance to Quasi-Immortal Emperor. During that time, the only thing he needed to do was cultivate with peace of mind.
"Master, I understand. Honestly, I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want to stay alive and live well. But the dark turmoil attacks indiscriminately, leaving me no choice but to fight back," Qin Feng said as tactfully as he could.
"Haha, fearing death is the right thing to do. Most of those who don't fear death have already become dry bones.
"Only here in this place of yours can I manifest my form. Otherwise, my Dark Body would discover me immediately.
"Or those great terrors in Above the Heavens would discover me. You don't mind if your master lives here from now on, do you?" Emperor Bone asked, looking at Qin Feng.
"Of course not, Master. Stay as long as you like, until you recover your cultivation," Qin Feng said.
Having you live here couldn't be better. If I run into an Immortal King or Dark Immortal King I can't handle, I'll just toss him in here and let you entertain him.
You might be in a miserable state right now, with only a sliver of health left, but killing an Immortal King in an instant couldn't be easier for you.
"You're already scheming to use your master, brat? Unfortunately, things won't go your way.
"I'll be entering a deep sleep soon. While I'm asleep, I won't be able to help you at all, and this sleep could last several hundred thousand years," Emperor Bone said, seemingly seeing through Qin Feng's little scheme.
As the saying went, jade could not become a fine vessel without being carved. He knew what his disciple was thinking, but some tempering was still necessary. If he could not even cultivate to Quasi-Immortal Emperor, how could he qualify to be his disciple?
An Immortal Emperor could, if he wished, easily raise a pinnacle Immortal King into a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could mass-produce armies of Immortal Kings.
"That's fine too, Master. Your box is a treasure as well," Qin Feng said with a shrug.
If all else fails, throwing your Rotten Wooden Box out there would make it the best defensive weapon and a brick to bash people with. The Desolate Heaven Emperor used it that way, after all.
"Don't you go getting ideas about your master's box. The reason I couldn't recover any strength before was that I didn't dare make a single move in the outside world.
"The moment I did anything, my Dark Body would discover me. Only in your chaos space can I recover with peace of mind.
"So don't throw your master's hiding place out there. Otherwise, at worst, I'll just have to keep running, but you'll face certain death without the slightest chance of survival."
This brat was rotten to the core. He actually wanted to use his master's hiding place as a weapon. Absolutely shameless!
"Oh dear, Master, you saw right through me," Qin Feng said, shaking his head in embarrassment.
No wonder an Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit had wandered through the Heavens and Myriad Realms for countless hundreds of millions of years without recovering in the slightest. As it turned out, he had not dared to recover. Only in Qin Feng's chaos world could he recuperate in peace.
"You brat, being your master really is exhausting! Since I've accepted you as my disciple, I will pass a few things on to you.
"I will erect three stone steles here and inscribe my Original True Explanation on them.
"As long as you thoroughly comprehend these three volumes, you'll be able to advance steadily to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
"I won't teach you any other Precious Techniques or divine abilities. Doing so would only spoil your path.
"Remember, every Precious Technique was created by a living being. If others can do it, why can't you?
"Only what you create yourself truly belongs to you.
"This space of yours has enormous potential for growth, so don't abandon what lies close at hand to chase what's far away, learning all those things that amount to wasted effort.
"One unrivaled imperial art is enough."
Qin Feng grew thoughtful at those words. His master was absolutely right.
"Obtaining this chaos space was your good fortune. But don't split heaven from earth within your chaos world just yet. Keep it in this chaotic form and let it grow slowly.
"Once it grows to a certain level, you can open up a portion of it and turn that into a Great Universe.
"Then open up another world and turn that into another Great Universe. You can repeat this endlessly. There is no limit to how much your space can grow.
"Make sure you preserve the chaos space, keeping it at least eighty or ninety percent of the whole.
"That way, this world will always remain in a state of primordial chaos. Its level will be higher, and it will also keep evolving new Great Universes and great worlds for you," Emperor Bone said.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up. As expected of a former Immortal Emperor, his insight truly was exceptional. Holding off on creating a world was actually what Qin Feng had been thinking himself.
An endless chaos world had truly immense potential. Qin Feng had originally planned to wait until his chaos space grew as large as the Immortal Domain or the Primeval Ancient Realm before splitting heaven from earth.
But he had never thought of opening up countless worlds within the chaos to create a cycle. That way, he could treat his own chaos space as Above the Heavens.
And the countless Great Universes he opened up could be regarded as endless Heavens and Myriad Realms. This was a road straight to heaven!
Was Above Sacrificial Dao so impressive? I'd stand directly on equal footing with Above the Heavens and walk the path of the supreme World Lord.
"Rest assured, Master. I understand," Qin Feng said with a nod.
"This young disciple can indeed be taught."
