This is a terrifying conjecture. Exploring the mysteries of the Universe Origin is something that all life in the universe is doing, but only a very few people can truly glimpse its secrets.
What exactly did the Original Ancestor discover that led him, already an invincible being in the Universe Ocean, to choose to confront the Universe Origin?
Over the years Demon Lord Luan Shen has never been able to figure this out.
If it's for the sake of the Human Race, then humans are already the most powerful race in the universe. As long as the Original Ancestor hasn't perished, no other race can shake humanity's position.
It was under these circumstances that the Original Ancestor decisively chose to wage war against the Universe Origin, ultimately leading to his suppression and the Human Race facing an unprecedented crisis.
"If the Chaos Law truly exist, what immense power they must possess!"
Over countless epochs, countless powerful beings from countless races in the universe have long confirmed that simply fusing any one of these five elements—'metal and space,' 'wood and space,' 'water and space,' 'fire and space,' or 'earth and space'—is as difficult as ascending to heaven, enough to stop countless Universe Venerable from their journey.
For example, the fusion of 'metal' and 'space' creates Fusion Law that, once perfected, is comparable to the Universe Master.
"It's just Fusion Law of two Law; if cultivated to perfection, one can rival the Universe Master?" Zhang Junbao had a general understanding of how to cultivate from Immortal to the Universe Supreme Master, but naturally, the most detailed explanation would come from the Demon Lord Luan Shen, who was the Universe Master.
"That's right. From the moment a cultivator embarks on their cultivation journey, they begin to comprehend a Law. Upon reaching Immortal, they have thoroughly grasped a fundamental Law, such as the Law of Light or the Law of Lightning. Becoming Universe Venerable means studying the Time Law or the Space Law."
At this point, there are two options for advancing to become the Universe Master.
One way is to fully comprehend time and space, first becoming Time Venerable and then understanding the Space Law, or first becoming Space Venerable and then understanding the Time Law. Once both Law are fully comprehended, one can advance to the Universe Master.
Another method is to fuse Lower Laws with Higher Laws, and after cultivating to perfection, one can also advance to become Universe Master.
"If one can break through and become the Universe Master by fusing Lower Laws with Higher Laws, what would happen if multiple Lower Laws were fused with Higher Laws?"
"For example, could the fusion of the Time Law with light and wind, or time, light, lightning, or time, lightning, and wind also lead to advancement?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"Indeed, some powerful individuals have tried it. Based on the predictions of countless powerful individuals in the universe, it can be concluded that this is feasible. However, there are very few powerful individuals in the universe who can achieve this."
The fusion of Law becomes increasingly difficult in later stages. Moreover, upon entering Immortal, one has already perfected one fundamental Law. This means that when Immortal cultivate other Law, their efficiency is far lower than that of World Lord.
Zhang Junbao nodded. He had already thoroughly researched the methods for advancing to Immortal from the Virtual Universe Company's data. The Virtual Universe Network contained extremely detailed records of how to advance to Immortal and what changes would occur afterward. With Zhang Junbao's permission, he could access all information related to the Immortal Level.
"When you become Immortal, the Universe Origin will transform your body from an ordinary physical body into a divine body, and a divine body must be composed of a certain type of divine Divine Power."
For example, a World Lord cultivates the Flame Law, after fully comprehending the Flame Law, will have his body transformed into a body Flame Law, which will help him to fully unleash the Divine Power of fire.
Conversely, a body composed of fire Divine Power will also repel other Law of power.
As he spoke, the Demon Lord Luan Shen stretched out his hands, and ten different kinds of Law energy appeared on his ten fingers.
Different Law energy come into contact with each other, but they do not merge; instead, they repel each other.
"In fact, this phenomenon was already very obvious during the era of the World Lord. A World Lord has been recognized by the Origin of Laws can comprehend the Law he has been recognized by extremely quickly, while the speed of comprehending other Law will be much slower."
If a World Lord the Flame Law has a clarity of 10,000 in comprehending the Flame Law, then his clarity in comprehending other Law might be less than 100, a difference of a hundredfold. This gap will become even greater after advancing to the Immortal realm.
So think about it, how many people would actually attempt to cultivate and comprehend other Law with a speed of less than one percent?
Even among the geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Region, the chance of becoming Immortal is less than one in ten. Although this probability is extremely high relative to the entire universe, it is still incredibly difficult for countless geniuses.
Cultivating a single Law is already so difficult; to simultaneously cultivate other Law, especially since the speed of Law Comprehension is a hundred times slower, simply no one can afford to waste their time like that.
"Therefore, the cultivation Fusion Law in our lineage is extremely difficult, and not all of our teacher's disciples can cultivate the Path of Fusion of the Ten Great Laws."
In reality, only my teacher and I practiced in this way; the other fellow practitioners incorporated more or less the methods of normal practice.
" Senior Brother Luanshen, how did you do that?" Zhang Junbao asked curiously. Since this cultivation method was so difficult, how could the Demon Lord Luan Shen have accomplished it and even successfully advanced to become the Universe Master?
The Demon Lord Luan Shen was silent for a moment before saying, "My success in cultivation is largely due to my Innate Secret Technique, ' Soul Splitting.' Each of my Soul Splitting can independently comprehend the Law, so I initially used multiple Soul Splitting to comprehend the Fusion Law again."
"Moreover, what I cultivate is not a true fusion of ten Law. Strictly speaking, what I have achieved is to further expand the set of components based on the original fusion of Lower Laws and Higher Laws."
In other words, the eight fundamental Law are each merged with two Higher Laws.
"Fuse them separately?" Zhang Junbao looked at the Demon Lord Luan Shen, his eyes filled with doubt.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen trusted Zhang Junbao greatly, which is why he revealed his cultivation method to him. Generally, only between master and disciple would a teacher know the disciple's cultivation method. This method is equivalent to the foundation of a secret technique, and once outsiders learn of it, they are likely to find its flaws and target it.
"As I just mentioned, there are two ways to advance to the Universe Master. I chose the second one, but it's not the common method of fusing the fundamental Law with the Space-Time Law. Instead, I chose to comprehend the eight fundamental Law and then fuse them separately with the Space-Time Law."
In the realm of space, I have grasped the essence of the Gold-Space, Wood Space, Water Space, Fire Space, and Earth-Space— to the point of near perfection, and I am now only a hair's breadth away from achieving it.
As for the concept of time, I have come to understand the Wind Time, Thunder Time, and Light Time, and I am only a hair's breadth away from perfection.
That is, the state you were in when you met me.
"Finally, when all my Soul Splitting converged, the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, space, wind, lightning, light, and time completely merged, allowing me to finally become the Universe Master," the Demon Lord Luan Shen said with a smile.
Although he made it sound easy, Zhang Junbao still knew just how incredibly difficult it was.
Once a fundamental Law is acknowledged by the Origin of Laws, it is extremely inefficient to comprehend other Law. The time spent on such an effort would be enough to deduce the Space-Time Law to a higher level, so almost no powerful individuals would attempt to do so.
But the Demon Lord Luan Shen accomplished it.
"Although doing this delayed my advancement to the Universe Master level by tens of millions of epochs, by taking that first step, I became a top-tier Universe Master Universe Master, progressing much faster than those who spent years cultivating at the Universe Master. Moreover, most of them had already exhausted their potential, while I was just at the peak of my potential. Even if I were to advance to the Universe Supreme Master in the future, I would have a considerable degree of confidence!"
As for the Demon Lord Luan Shen, Zhang Junbao could only say that he was a ruthless person, truly ruthless to himself!
With his talent, if he had taken the conventional path, he might have become the Universe Master long ago. But he chose to take an unconventional path.
For ordinary Universe Venerable, fusing just two Law is already incredibly difficult. Yet he actually fused all the Lower Laws with the Higher Laws —it's simply too monstrous. No wonder he could overpower the Lord Huang Jian and rival the Chaos City Lord, the strongest Universe Supreme Master, as soon as he advanced.
"To squeeze out one's potential at the Universe Venerable stage and lay a more solid foundation for the future, Senior Brother Luanshen's courage is extraordinary, Junbao admires him!"
Zhang Junbao was truly convinced by this expression of admiration. His feat, which even countless Universe Master would hesitate to attempt, was indeed worthy of respect.
"Compared to the teacher, my aptitude is still too poor, so this integration is not perfect."
Even so, the fusion process remains extremely difficult; any imbalance in any of the Law could lead to fusion failure.
"The key is the balance of the Law?"
Zhang Junbao recalled the feelings he had when he was about to receive recognition from the Origin Law.
If Zhang Junbao hadn't insisted on his own ideas and instead followed the guidance of the Origin of Laws, allowing the Law of Light to be recognized first, perhaps other Law would have been difficult to be recognized by the Origin of Laws later.
"If you comprehend one fundamental Law and one Higher Laws, there is only one way to combine them. But if you comprehend multiple Law, there should be multiple ways to integrate them."
"For example, if one comprehends the Law of light, lightning, and time, is it possible to fuse light and lightning into a new Law, and then fuse that new law with the Time Law?" Zhang Junbao asked.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen looked at Zhang Junbao in surprise, as if trying to discern something from him.
" Junbao, you really surprised me. You know what? Your teacher said the same thing before."
"Does that mean there's really a possibility?"
"That's right, it's not just that. Since you can think of the fusion of light and lightning, you should also be able to guess that there is a possibility of fusion between fundamental Law." The Demon Lord Luan Shen felt extremely happy, and suddenly had the same feeling as when he discussed the Universe Origin with the Original Ancestor.
"So, I guess I made the right choice. In fact, Senior Brother Luanshen, I've already achieved this."
The Origin Mark Law between Zhang Junbao's eyebrows lit up, emitting an aura completely different from that of other World Lord who had received the recognition of the Origin of Laws.
" Junbao, you said you'd do it... How is that possible?" the Demon Lord Luan Shen exclaimed in surprise.
"I was puzzled from the first time I met you. Although it is indeed remarkable that you were recognized by the Origin of Laws at the Domain Lord stage, it is not uncommon in the universe to have done so."
"But why is your aura so strange? What kind of Origin of Laws have you gained recognition from that I can't even tell?"
"Haha, Senior Brother Luanshen, take another good look."
The energy between Zhang Junbao's brows began to decompose, slowly transforming into the Eight Great Fundamental Laws.
"You've... gained the recognition of the Eight Great Fundamental Laws? Impossible! Guess how long you've been cultivating? After gaining the recognition of one Origin of Laws, the cultivation speed of other Law will slow down. How could you possibly cultivate so quickly?"
"In fact, I received the recognition of the Eight Great Fundamental Laws at the same time, so there was no situation where my Law Comprehension slowed down."
"Senior brother, you should know that besides the Heart of Extreme Yang, there are eight other Law Core in the Chaotic God Demon Domain. All of those Law Core are with me, so my speed of comprehending the Law is a tiny bit faster," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen originally intended to explain the cultivation path of the Law Fusion lineage to his junior brother Zhang Junbao, but unexpectedly, Zhang Junbao had already begun and was even doing better than he had believed.
"However, after I fused the five Law metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, what I obtained was the Space Law, while the fusion of wind, light, and lightning resulted in the Time Law. I didn't sense any new Law!"
"That's impossible. The teacher's theory is never wrong. If you truly integrate the fundamental Law, the Space-Time Law shouldn't appear."
How did you manage to fuse the eight fundamental Law into the Space-Time Law? Logically speaking, although the Space Law are part of the same system as the five basic Law (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), both originating from one of the original two Law, any fusion should result in the fusion of the original Law, not the Space Law!
"From the moment I became Planetary Level martial artist, the domain I comprehended was the Control of Space-Time. Within my domain, the Space-Time Law are entirely at my command."
"A domain that Control of Space-Time? Is this why you were able to withstand my first attack when we first met? This is an ability possessed only by the Universe Master, and you've actually comprehended such a terrifying domain!"
The Demon Lord Luan Shen was somewhat bewildered. His Soul Splitting contained the soul memories of billions of living beings, but he had never heard of anyone possessing the power to Control of Space-Time at the Planetary Level.
"It's probably related to the practice I've been doing. I've always explored on my own, deducing the True Meaning of Taiji from Huaxia texts and practicing accordingly."
Taiji emphasizes the transformation of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, comprehending the mysteries of the universe and integrating them into every movement. My own comprehension of this realm came naturally from a breakthrough in the True Meaning of Taiji.
Only now do I realize that the True Meaning of Taiji seems to perfectly align with the Universe Laws.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen's mind flashed through countless records from ancient Earth texts, and he also discovered what Zhang Junbao had said.
"Therefore, I attempted to enter the realm of the Eight Law at the Planetary Level, combining the True Meaning of Taiji Chi with the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements. The mutual generation of the Five Elements can be integrated into the Space Law, while the mutual restraint of the Five Elements can decompose the Space Law into the Basic Law."
" Law decomposition? The power of Space Law transforming into fundamental Law?"
Suddenly, the Demon Lord Luan Shen realized that he, a Universe Master, couldn't understand what Zhang Junbao, a Domain Lord Level, was saying!
"Demonstrate it for me, let me see your Control of Space-Time first!" The Demon Lord Luan Shen realized that Zhang Junbao seemed to have touched upon some kind of mysterious Law that even he had never encountered.
"Alright, Senior Brother Luanshen, please enlighten me!"
Zhang Junbao did not refuse. He had always been exploring the True Meaning of Taiji on his own. Although his progress was not satisfactory, only he knew the hardships he had endured along the way.
Now that a trustworthy Universe Master is willing to provide guidance, Zhang Junbao naturally wouldn't mind.
As he spoke, Zhang Junbao opened his Space-Time Domain, covering the Demon Lord Luan Shen within it. However, with his Space-Time Control, he was unable to shake the Demon Lord Luan Shen in the slightest.
Within Zhang Junbao's Space-Time Domain, the Demon Lord Luan Shen wore an unprecedentedly solemn expression. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"Junior brother, this is not the power to Control of Space-Time!"
