A moment later.
Chen Qingyu descended in a beam of light, landing at the entrance of the Wanxing Palace:
"Your disciple requests an audience with your master."
"Come in."
Danyang Ju's voice came from the Wanxing Palace.
Chen Qingyu stepped up the stairs and entered the main hall, where he saw Danyang Ju sitting in the main seat, smiling at him.
"Greetings, Master!"
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Please sit down."
Danyang Ju nodded slightly and gestured for him to sit down.
After Chen Qingyu sat down, he smiled and asked:
"How have you been? Have you been comfortable staying in this Wanxing Ancestral Land these past few days?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
" Star Rainbow Palace is quite nice, a good place for cultivation, but..."
He paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said:
" The Emperor Venerable in this Wanxing Ancestral Land is far too enthusiastic."
Over the past three days:
The hundreds of Emperor Venerable guarding the Wanxing Ancestral Land came to visit him one after another, each one more enthusiastic and respectful than the last, and they also brought many gifts.
According to them, this was not a formal apprenticeship gift, but just a small token.
Even such a small amount is incredibly astonishing, exceeding his accumulated wealth many times over.
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Danyang Ju laughed heartily:
"Then you'll have to get used to it. After the apprenticeship ceremony, you'll be receiving these gifts again."
Then, he changed the subject and asked:
"But you came all this way to see me, surely not for something so trivial?"
"But are there any difficulties in your cultivation?"
"Right."
Chen Qingyu nodded.
"Oh..."
Danyang Ju smiled and gestured:
"Then tell me."
"Um."
Chen Qingyu responded and then said:
"After my Dao Path reached the Realm of Creation, I have been trying to comprehend the profound mysteries of Creation in this area for the past few days."
"However, I know very little about the subsequent cultivation of the Realm of Creation, and I hope that Master can give me some guidance."
His current spiritual practice is divided into two aspects.
On one hand, there is the cultivation realm. As one climbs upward from the First Heaven of the Extreme Transformation Realm, the improvement of the realm will also lead to an improvement in the understanding of the laws, so one does not need to painstakingly comprehend them on one's own.
On the other hand, there is the realm of laws, which is at the level of just touching the Realm of Creation.
In the vast knowledge repository of the Great Void Primal Spirit, there are only a few descriptions of the cultivation of the Emperor Venerable realm, and he still has a great lack in this area.
If this cannot be remedied, it will have a significant impact on his future growth and even his peak combat performance.
"Um..."
Danyang Ju paused for a moment, then slowly said:
"Then I'll start by explaining it to you from the beginning, from the basics to the advanced."
"After reaching the Realm of Creation, cultivators transcend the orthodox cultivation system and forge their own path."
"Each Emperor Venerable's path of cultivation is fundamentally different; they can only explore it themselves and can't draw much inspiration from the experiences of others."
"The previous division of each realm into nine heavens no longer applies to the Emperor Venerable."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu asked in confusion:
"Then how should we classify the cultivation levels and strengths among the Emperor Venerable?"
Upon hearing this, Danyang Ju chuckled and said:
"This touches upon the fundamentals of Emperor Venerable's cultivation."
"The path of cultivation in the Realm of Creation lies in deepening one's understanding of the laws, elevating one's level of understanding of the laws, and ultimately gaining complete mastery of a law, thus embarking on the path of Heavenly Lord."
"If we divide them in this general way, each Emperor Venerable can be categorized into early, middle, late, and peak stages based on their cultivation level."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized and said:
"So there are only four levels among the Emperor Venerable."
Danyang Ju shook his head:
"That's not entirely true; it's just the most general classification."
"Especially between the Peak Emperor Venerable and Heavenly Lord, there is still a long way to go."
He paused for a moment, then patiently continued:
"After ascending to the Emperor Venerable, the First Step is to deepen one's understanding of the laws and push them to their limits. Then, one will naturally enter the Middle Emperor Venerable."
"This step is like a slow and steady process; it generally requires a long time to gradually develop and gain insight."
"After Middle Emperor Venerable, one must elevate the level of the laws, striving to upgrade the laws that one primarily cultivates on their Dao Path to Upper-Tier Law in order to attempt to advance to the Late Emperor Venerable."
"This step is much more difficult, blocking over 90% of the Emperor Venerable."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly:
" Upper-Tier Law? Are there truly differences in rank and hierarchy among laws?"
"Good."
Danyang Ju nodded slightly and said:
"The laws governing the universe are countless, interconnected and interwoven, forming a network that governs the entire operation of the world."
"To use a fairly apt analogy, the numerous laws are like a tree..."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a phantom image of a large tree shimmering with starlight appeared in the hall.
"Look..."
He pointed to the phantom of the large tree and said slowly:
" The Lower-Tier Law are the most direct and apparent manifestations of the laws. The rising and setting of the sun and moon, the flow of clouds and water, and the movement of stars are all closely related to them. These are also the easiest laws to comprehend, like the branches and leaves of a tree."
" The Middle-Tier Law is a higher level, involving the profound mysteries of the universe's operation. It is an indispensable factor, like the branches of a great tree."
" The Upper-Tier Law are the highest-level laws, the fundamental principles governing the operation of heaven and earth, like the trunk of a great tree, and are of utmost importance."
"And these three layers of principles are closely interconnected, progressing and interacting with each other."
"For example, the Law of Ice is Lower-Tier Law; ice's fundamental state is water, which is Middle-Tier Law; and the primordial unity of the five elements, the foundation of matter, is the Upper-Tier Law."
"Only by comprehending the Upper-Tier Law and using them to reshape and transform one's own Dao Path, completing a metamorphosis of the Dao Path, and gaining the profound ability to influence the operation of heaven and earth, can one step into the Late Emperor Venerable realm."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was deeply shaken:
"So that's how it is..."
The complex mysteries between the laws slowly unfolded before him.
He fell into deep thought, recalling the Dao Path and laws of all the Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable he had witnessed. (Meow Meow said)
Quasi-Emperor Canliu, Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, and others only practiced Lower-Tier Law; Quasi-Emperor Qinghe and Emperor Venerable Qinglu both cultivated the Law of Wood, which can be considered Middle-Tier Law.
The Great Emperor Hunyuan undoubtedly cultivates the Upper-Tier Law, and he is about to complete his transformation and enter the Late Emperor Venerable.
Needless to say, the Quasi-Emperor Void King's Law of Space are undoubtedly Upper-Tier Law, and likely one of the strongest Upper-Tier Law, which is why he is so powerful.
The Law of Mind cultivated by the Quasi-Emperor Formless Wuxiang are likely among the Upper-Tier Law, possessing immense potential...
As for the numerous laws he cultivates, there are basically no Lower-Tier Law; they are all middle-level and Upper-Tier Law —as for the level of the " Dao of Myriad Calamities," that's hard to determine.
"Oh, right, Master!"
Chen Qingyu snapped out of his daze, pointed to the base of the illusory tree, and asked:
"And what about the roots of this big tree?"
