" The Shi Huo Venerable is quite generous. This time, when sending the Yanzhu King to Earth, he also brought the soul defense Heavy Treasure he had promised before. Truly, the hearts of parents are always full of love and concern. The Shi Huo Venerable Yanzhu King. Is he afraid I'll change my mind?"
"While the Yanzhu King is despicable, it's undeniable that the Shi Huo Venerable is indeed a terrifying genius. My teacher, True Yan King, told me that the Shi Huo Venerable's talent is even comparable to that of Kedi, the disciple of the Chaos City Lord. He advanced to become Universe Venerable in just a few hundred thousand years—truly terrifying!"
Babata used to tell Luo Feng and the others about his old master Hu Yanbo's exploits that spanned over six thousand epochs in the universe, but he doesn't tell them much anymore.
Six thousand epochs, or sixty million years, and Hu Yanbo was still only barely a Marquis. Compared to the geniuses and powerhouses that Zhang Junbao and the others were currently encountering, the gap was simply too great.
"Don't underestimate yourself. After experiencing the Blood Luo World and Demon Sound Mountain, your strength has improved, and you may have a chance to catch up with them in the future. Moreover, you have the advantage of Earth. Mental cultivation may not seem very useful in the early stages, but when you reach a bottleneck, its enormous advantage will become apparent."
"The stronger an expert is, the more likely they are to be stuck at a bottleneck for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. Without a strong mental state to support them, they may very well stop there," Zhang Junbao said.
"I understand. I realized this when we ventured into the Illusion Sea. Hong's Law Comprehension is far inferior to mine, yet they were able to break through illusions that even I couldn't withstand, and see their own path clearly, all through the power of their mental states. I have some ideas now."
"Very good. No matter how much others talk about the path of cultivation, in the end you still have to rely on your own understanding. If you have an idea, be bold and try it."
Keep this safe.
Zhang Junbao casually tossed Luo Feng a World Ring, which contained only one item.
"This is a powerful soul defense Heavy Treasure I obtained from Shi Huo Venerable, named ' Golden Spirit Guardian '."
Luo Feng probed his Spiritual Force into the World Ring and discovered a golden lotus flower inside that emitted a dazzling light, making it very eye-catching.
"This is Heavy Treasure! Junbao, how can you accept this?" Luo Feng hurriedly declined. He knew just how precious a priceless Heavy Treasure was. A single Heavy Treasure was enough to cause a group of King-level Immortal to fight and scramble for it, and it wouldn't be surprising if they even lost their lives for it.
"This is the tuition fee for the Yanzhu King. He handed it over to you to guide him directly after he reached the First Layer level of his mental state. You are already Domain Lord, and you will be carrying out Domain Lord Level missions, which are also dangerous."
This is a powerful soul defense Heavy Treasure, and it's even made of metal; it's perfect for you."
"But didn't you also comprehend the Law of Metal?"
"I already have the ' Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl,' Heavy Treasure bestowed upon me by the Chaos City Lord. A soul cannot fuse two soul defense Heavy Treasure, so it's useless to me." Zhang Junbao waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
He not only possessed the Heavenly Spirit Mind-Stabilizing Pearl bestowed upon him by the Chaos City Lord, but also the ' Extreme Yang Soul-Suppressing Armor ' formed from Clone clone, capable of withstanding Soul Secret Technique at the King Level. Zhang Junbao himself had no need to worry about being Soul Enslavement.
However, Zhang Junbao naturally wouldn't mention the secrets involved in the Extreme Yang Clone, secrets that even the Universe Origin couldn't be revealed.
"Thank you, Junbao. If I ever acquire any treasures in the future, please don't hesitate to ask if you need them!"
"Haha, then I won't be polite!"
After handing the Yanzhu King over to Luo Feng, Zhang Junbao ignored their 'friendly interaction.' He trusted that Luo Feng knew how to handle things and wouldn't ruin the Yanzhu King.
Furthermore, Zhang Junbao also allowed Luo Feng to enslave the Zerg Mother Emperor Nest in Shennongjia on Earth. In his opinion, the Zerg Mother Emperor there had mediocre potential and it would be quite difficult for her to become Immortal. Zhang Junbao himself could easily kill her, so she was of little use. It was better to hand her over to Luo Feng to cultivate.
As for Isabella, the genius Zerg Mother Emperor enslaved by Zhang Junbao, she is still hiding in a World Ring, nurturing Zerg Warrior. Earth is currently under extensive human technological surveillance, and the Virtual Universe Company has transformed Earth to be more suitable for spiritual cultivation, while also protecting Human Race geniuses.
Zhang Junbao didn't let Isabella appear to avoid any misunderstanding. Besides, he already had important arrangements for Isabella, and now was not the time for her to show herself.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Junbao arrived at a courtyard. The courtyard was decorated very elegantly, with green trees embracing the water, strange rocks, and wisps of mist floating among the lush and intertwined trees, giving people a feeling of floating on clouds and being ethereal.
Walking through the courtyard, a human-looking man was sitting cross-legged in a quiet corner.
" Junbao, you're here!"
Upon seeing Zhang Junbao arrive, the man opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, are you satisfied with this courtyard?" Zhang Junbao bowed and asked.
"Quite impressive. Unlike the opulent palaces that can be found everywhere in the universe, it has a unique charm."
"I just finished reading history books about Earth. Earth truly lives up to its reputation as a planet transformed by the Universe Supreme Master, the Sitting Mountain Guest. Even though the humans it has nurtured may not be strong, their comprehension is extremely high."
"Especially their exploration of the mysteries of the Universe Origin; some of their ideas are quite astonishing even to me," the Demon Lord Luan Shen laughed.
During his time on Earth, Zhang Junbao negotiated with the Virtual Universe Company on how to transform the planet, while the Demon Lord Luan Shen read through all the books stored on Earth.
Even now, when communicating with Zhang Junbao, we use Huaxia Language.
"Even if those ancient Huaxia sages were alive today, their ages wouldn't even compare to a Universe Level. Yet their insights are truly commendable."
"I discovered within it the theory of the Chaos Taiji and the Bagua ' evolution of the universe. Your cultivation secrets must have originated from here, right?" asked the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
"That's right. The ' True Meaning of Taiji ' that I practice is derived from the understanding and insights of my predecessors about the Taiji Chaos of the universe. It can be considered my own secret method."
" The True Meaning of Taiji is both a secret method and a worldview; it is the cognition and understanding of the Universe Origin," Zhang Junbao replied.
"Now I understand why the teacher chose you. Although you are already part of my Virtual Universe Company, the teacher is currently suppressed and unable to impart our lineage's true secrets to you. Now, I will guide you," said the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
"To be honest, since joining the Virtual Universe Company, it has always been Senior Brother Chaos who has been guiding my cultivation." Zhang Junbao knew that the Demon Lord Luan Shen had always had a grudge against the Chaos City Lord, believing that he did not want to save the Original Ancestor. If both of them were to guide Zhang Junbao's cultivation, a conflict was very likely to occur.
" Chaos, although he became the Universe Master earlier than me, his cultivation path is different from yours. He is fine if he guides you in cultivating secret techniques or the Space-Time Law and time, but when it comes to the fusion of Law, he is not as good as me!" said the Demon Lord Luan Shen.
Zhang Junbao was surprised. The Demon Lord Luan Shen had just advanced to the Universe Master, and should have been inferior to the Chaos City Lord. However, the Chaos City Lord told Zhang Junbao with great certainty that the Chaos City Lord was not as good as him in terms of Law fusion.
Zhang Junbao had no doubt about this.
His current strength is far inferior to that of the Universe Master, and he cannot discern their cultivation paths at all. However, the Demon Lord Luan Shen does know them. Since he dares to say this, it means he is absolutely certain.
"If you need to cultivate secret techniques and the Space-Time Law in the future, you can seek his guidance. If you need to cultivate the fusion of Law, I will do it."
"His Chaos path is not the one of merging the Ten Great Laws," the Demon Lord Luan Shen said with a hint of pride.
"Yes, senior brother."
Zhang Junbao now realized that the Chaos City Lord, as the first disciple of the Original Ancestor, did not follow the same Law Path as the Original Ancestor. No wonder the Demon Lord Luan Shen always looked down on the Chaos City Lord. It was not only because the Chaos City Lord did not deal with the Original Ancestor, but also because in the eyes of the Demon Lord Luan Shen, the Chaos City Lord did not completely inherit the Original Ancestor's legacy.
Since the Demon Lord Luan Shen had spoken, Zhang Junbao naturally wouldn't object. In the path of cultivation, the difference between having guidance and not having guidance is enormous, which is why countless powerful individuals hope to become disciples.
A powerful being in the universe may have multiple teachers, taking on a different teacher at each stage of their strength.
Now that two Universe Master are guiding him, Zhang Junbao is naturally very happy. Previously, the Chaos City Lord mostly guided him in understanding the Space-Time Law, and his cultivation of the Fusion Law was almost entirely based on his own exploration, using the True Meaning of Taiji as a guide to find the direction of cultivation.
"You have already studied my ' Detailed Explanation of the Ten Great Laws,' so you should know that the Law of the universe can be divided into ten types. From the moment you begin your cultivation, you gradually comprehend one of the most fundamental Law, such as the Law of Metal, the Law of Light, and so on... Becoming Universe Venerable involves studying the Time Law or the Space Law."
The Demon Lord Luan Shen spoke slowly, and Zhang Junbao sat cross-legged opposite him, listening intently. It was extremely rare for a Universe Master of the Universe Master, especially one who shared the same cultivation path as him, to preach, and he couldn't afford to miss a single word.
"Most cultivators use a basic Law as a stepping stone. After cultivating to Immortal and perfecting the basic Law, they then specialize in the Space Law."
But do you think that the Space Law are naturally compatible, while lightning, wind, and light are naturally compatible with the Time Law?
Zhang Junbao frowned slightly at the question about the Demon Lord Luan Shen, and then said, "I have also thought about this question. The Ten Great Laws of the Universe are divided into Eight Great Fundamental Laws and two Higher Laws of spacetime."
If we understand it according to the True Meaning of Taiji, Taiji generates Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang generate the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols generate the Eight Bagua. Among them, the Eight Bagua can correspond to the eight basic Law. However, the laws of Time Law and Space Law do not seem to correspond perfectly with Yin and Yang.
The Yin and Yang principles clearly exhibit opposition and conflict, yet they are also interconnected; however, the laws of Time Law and Space Law seem to lack this connection.
"What you said makes a lot of sense. I have to say, although this generation of civilization on Earth has not been around for very long, the knowledge of the universe that has been passed down to us is truly astonishing."
It's truly remarkable that a group of ordinary people with lifespans of no more than a hundred years could have such a profound understanding of the universe.
"Your question is valid. As far as I know, at the birth of the universe, there were not Ten Great Laws, but only two powerful Law. One of them is broken down into six Origin Law: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space. The other is broken down into four Origin Law: wind, lightning, light, and time!"
"The reason you feel that the Time Law and Space Law cannot be perfectly broken down into the Eight Great Fundamental Laws is because the Space-Time Law, like the Eight Great Fundamental Laws, are simply decomposed from those two powerful Law."
This led to the formation of two factions.
The Spatial School takes space as its Higher Laws and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) as its Lower Laws.
The Time School considers time as the Higher Laws, and wind, lightning, and light as Lower Laws.
"Two powerful Law?" Zhang Junbao took a deep breath; he finally realized where the problem lay.
Do these two powerful Law still exist?
"They no longer exist. At least, these two Law did not naturally exist in the Original Universe; they were all decomposed into the Ten Great Laws. However, according to the teacher's speculation, it might be possible to use some method to recombine the Ten Great Laws back into these two powerful Law."
"The teacher once said that among the countless powerful beings of the billions of races in the universe, there has never been a life that has integrated the six Origin Law of 'metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space' into one, returning to the origin and re-integrating them into one of the two powerful Law at the birth of the universe."
No life has ever merged the four Origin Law of the Time School: lightning, wind, light, and time.
"Not even one of them? Not even the Original Ancestor master could do that?"
"No, Teacher was only one step away from achieving that. Perhaps it was precisely in order to comprehend these two Law that Teacher stimulated the Universe Origin, ultimately triggering the great battle between the two sides." The Demon Lord Luan Shen raised his head and looked at the sky, seemingly recalling the scene of the great battle.
"Even the Original Ancestor couldn't achieve this, yet comprehending these two Law has provoked the resistance of the Universe Origin. Just how powerful must these Law be?"
"That's why I was so shocked when I saw the records left behind by Earth Humans on Earth. Just like you just said, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Bagua. Isn't this precisely the process by which the Universe Laws are born?"
Earth Humans thousands of years ago had already realized this. It should be noted that even the Universe Master are not all capable of truly comprehending this.
The humans born from the Earth that the Sitting Mountain Guest truly transformed are terrifying.
Zhang Junbao frowned. He knew that the Sitting Mountain Guest was not just an ordinary Universe Supreme Master, but a reborn God King, far surpassing the level of all the powerful beings in the Universe Ocean.
He transformed the Earth, gave birth to the human race, and left behind the legacy of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual. Was it all just to cultivate the Universe Supreme Master?
What exactly is his purpose?
Did the ancient people on Earth have such advanced understanding of the universe truly come from their own perceptions, or were they inspired by Sitting Mountain Guest?
Zhang Junbao believed that with the knowledge of Sitting Mountain Guest, it was absolutely impossible for him not to know about the existence of the Chaos Law, nor was it possible for him not to know about the fusion of the Universe Laws.
Could it be that he cultivated the Earth Lineage for this very purpose?
"If that's the case, is it possible for these two unknown, powerful Law to merge again and become an even more powerful Law?"
"For example, the Chaos Law?" Zhang Junbao said.
" The Chaos Law? You mean all the Law of the universe are one?" the Demon Lord Luan Shen pondered.
"That's right. If we True Meaning of Taiji, Taiji generates Yin and Yang. Since there are two powerful Law, where do they come from?"
The Book of Changes on Earth records. "Therefore, the I Ching has the Taiji, which gives rise to the two polarities."
This means that Yin and Yang, the two polarities, originated from the Chaos Taiji.
" The Chaos Taiji? The Universe Origin?"
"My teacher once said that the Universe Origin is a mass of Chaos energy. If the Law you described truly exist in the universe, the only possibility is that they exist within the Universe Origin."
So, was the teacher suppressed by the Universe Origin also because he touched this taboo?
The Demon Lord Luan Shen seemed to understand why the Chaos City Lord didn't try to rescue the Original Ancestor. If it really involved such a terrifying level of power, the Chaos City Lord would have no way to rescue the Original Ancestor.
