Maintaining balance is not wrong, but it doesn't mean that absolute balance is the essence of Taiji.
Taiji is divided into Yin and Yang, which are mutually generating and mutually restraining. Only through mutual interaction and competition can they promote each other. Excessive balance may allow for simultaneous progress, but it also loses its ultimate power.
Having figured these things out, Zhang Junbao no longer insisted on maintaining the perfect balance of the Eight Beast God Paths. While the ten great Universe Laws are interconnected, they are also independent of each other. Overly worrying about the connections would ignore the fact that each Universe Laws itself is a complete system.
"Therefore, it is not wrong for ordinary World Lord to break through to Immortal God by Law Comprehension perfection. They cultivate a basic Law to perfection, while my True Meaning of Taiji, although it focuses on the mutual generation and restraint among the Ten Great Laws Ten Great Laws, is first and foremost a complete Law in itself."
Over the years, I've somewhat neglected this.
"Haha, thank you very much for your guidance, Master of Craftsman God!" Zhang Junbao respectfully bowed in gratitude.
"Although I haven't mastered the Law you specialize in, I know that the methods of crafting treasures in the universe are quite similar to the path of cultivation. Each component is independent and can exert a certain power, but when combined, they can unleash even greater power," said the Master of Craftsman God.
"That's right. There's no conflict between the component and the whole; rather, they are a complete individual and a complete whole. This is the mindset of Mechanical Flow."
"Both the Mechanical Flow and the Secret Pattern Diagram School originated from the cosmic era before the Great Destruction. It is likely that the powerful beings of that time had already grasped the true essence of these Law."
My True Meaning of Taiji essence is essentially the Secret Pattern Diagram School. Since the Secret Pattern Diagram can be divided into the Eight Beast God Paths, why should I still be bound by the balance between the eight Law?
Could the life or death of one Innate Beast God Innate Beast God another? The answer is no, which means that the laws of Law are both interconnected and independent.
"It seems you've broken through your own limitations."
"Yes, I was originally caught in a cultivation misconception without even realizing it. It was only thanks to the Master of Craftsman God that I suddenly realized the truth."
"Hehe, I was just sharing my own understanding. Since you've already grasped it, then go for it. I hope you can pass all the tests."
"Yes, when I meet Senior Sitting Mountain Guest in the future, I will certainly inform him of the help of the Master of Craftsman God. Zhang Junbao takes his leave!"
"Kindness."
With a wave of his hand, the Master of Craftsman God Zhang Junbao from the temple and reappeared at the foot of Craftsman God Mountain.
" The Master of Craftsman God has gone to great lengths to guide my cultivation so that I could become the disciple of the Sitting Mountain Guest. His efforts are truly commendable. I will try my best to speak on his behalf whenever I see the Sitting Mountain Guest. If the Sitting Mountain Guest can accept me as a disciple, then I will have fulfilled the Master of Craftsman God's wish."
Next, Zhang Junbao took out the Void Whale Spaceship and flew inside.
The spaceship soared into the sky and instantly left the Craftsman God Star.
Arriving in the void, and seeing once again the Yinfa Secret Realm, repaired by countless Space-Time Vortex, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. This was the longest he had ever been away from Human Territory, a full 5,000 years.
"Master, Luo Feng sent an email saying he obtained a ' Beast God Inheritance Token ' in the Wuhua Secret Realm, which has the attributes of 'Earth and Space,' and asked if you need it." Having not appeared for thousands of years, Feitian could no longer contain herself. As soon as Zhang Junbao entered the spaceship, she recounted her experiences over the past few thousand years to Zhang Junbao.
"Oh? It seems Luo Feng has already emerged from the Wuhua Secret Realm, and his cultivation has probably made significant progress. Qing Dou Kou Venerable and Purple Dou Kou are indeed diligently carrying out the requirements of the Sitting Mountain Guest."
"This tests both me and Luo Feng. The Sitting Mountain Guest's hidden strength within the Universe Master is truly terrifying."
Although the Sitting Mountain Guest remains unassuming in the universe, only the truly powerful know how terrifying he is.
The fact that a mere master craftsman, Universe Master of Craftsman God whom even the Human Race of Treasure Refining wouldn't accept as a disciple, possesses such formidable treasure-refining abilities that even the most powerful cosmic forces like the human and Demon Race races vie to befriend him, coupled with his ability to refine even the Strongest Supreme Treasure, Sitting Mountain Guest the hidden power of this man in the universe is probably unknown to most.
Not only is the Sitting Mountain Guest incredibly powerful, but his Treasure Refining techniques are unparalleled in the universe. Not to mention the Original Universe, even in the Universe Ocean, no one can match him.
Countless powerful beings in the universe have received his favors. If the Sitting Mountain Guest really wanted to do something, he could command countless powerful beings throughout the universe to come to his aid.
However, the powerful beings in the Original Universe were far from meeting the requirements of the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Yes, Luo Feng also said that he encountered the Lord of Sky Wolf in the Wuhua Secret Realm, but the Lord of Sky Wolf was scared away by the Chaos City Lord who arrived."
"Hahahaha... It seems the Lord of Sky Wolf is really unlucky. He tried to kill Luo Feng in the Wuhua Secret Realm but was scared off by the Chaos City Lord. Then he ran to the Craftsman God Star in the Yinfa Secret Realm, hoping to force the Master of Craftsman God to hand me over while the Chaos City Lord was away."
No wonder he was so angry when he first arrived on Craftsman God Star; it turns out he suffered a loss at Luo Feng's hands.
But he didn't expect that the Master of Craftsman God had a violent temper and was even more ruthless than the Chaos City Lord, and actually started a war with him directly.
He can't defeat the Chaos City Lord, but can he really defeat the Master of Craftsman God? In the end, he'll be defeated on both sides, looking utterly defeated, hahahaha..."
Zhang Junbao burst into laughter inside the spaceship. It has to be said that the Lord of Sky Wolf was truly unlucky. He wanted to hunt down two of humanity's greatest geniuses, but wherever he went, he encountered a Universe Master who came to stop him. And to make matters worse, they were all stronger than him. He couldn't defeat any of them and could only accept his bad luck.
In terms of cultivation, the Master of Craftsman God is not as good as the Chaos City Lord, but on the Craftsman God Star, his strength is enough to rival that of the Lord of Chaos City Lord, making him a Universe Master of the same level. The Lord of Sky Wolf is only one level weaker than them.
It's quite pathetic that the so-called Universe Master has fallen to such a state.
" Luo Feng has now returned to the Primal Secret Region with the Chaos City Lord. He says he now possesses strength comparable to Invincible King and wants to challenge you," Feitian said.
"This kid is still so impetuous after all these years. But his progress is indeed very fast. The thousands of years of cultivation in the Ice Prison have certainly benefited him a lot," Zhang Junbao sighed.
The training arranged by the Sitting Mountain Guest was in places extremely suitable for their own strength development. Whether it was Craftsman God Star or the Ice Prison of the Wuhua Secret Realm, both were very suitable for their cultivation.
Zhang Junbao thought his cultivation speed was already quite fast, but Luo Feng was still able to catch up, which was indeed terrifying.
"Let's go, it's time to return to the Human Territory and have a proper get-together."
" Feitian, while you're at it, send an email to Hong and Thunder God, telling them to come out of the Star Tower. I'll go pick them up."
"Yes, Master."
After the Void Whale Spaceship passed through the Space-Time Vortex, Zhang Junbao summoned the Soul Slave King Ling Yi, whom he had captured on the Star Tower.
" King Ling Yi, leave your spatial coordinates here, then take me back to the Star Tower."
"Yes, Master."
King Ling Yi was Soul Slave subdued by Zhang Junbao in the Star Tower, so naturally he left behind Immortal Crystal in the Star Tower as a spatial coordinate.
The Divine Kingdom Passage opened, and a dazzling beam of light appeared in front of Zhang Junbao. He immediately had Feitian pilot the Void Whale Spaceship into the Divine Kingdom Passage.
A moment later, Zhang Junbao reappeared, having returned to the Outer Domain Battlefield where the Star Tower was located.
The Star Tower still stands on the Outer Domain Battlefield, unknown to outsiders that it actually has its own master. With Luo Feng's current strength, he is simply unable to drive a treasure of the Star Tower's caliber, so he can only leave the Star Tower in its place.
" Junbao!"
A spear-shaped spaceship emerged from a nearby meteorite fragment. At the same time, Hong's virtual projection appeared inside the cockpit of the Void Whale Spaceship.
"It's so boring looking at things through a projection. Come aboard my spaceship, and we'll head back to Chaos City together."
"Alright, we've been wanting to see what your super-rich spaceship looks like for a while now. We won't stand on ceremony."
After saying that, Hong simply put away his spaceship and went with Thunder God into Zhang Junbao's Void Whale Spaceship.
"Haha, Hong, it's been thousands of years since I last saw you. Did you and Thunder God gain anything from your training at the Star Tower?"
"Let me tell you, the strength of me and Brother Hong now is incomparable to what it was when you left. Martial arts training still relies on real combat!" Thunder God, sporting a large bald head, squeezed through and grinned at Zhang Junbao.
"I see, Thunder God. Seeing that your bald head has become even shinier, I knew your strength must have increased significantly. Luo Feng said that his strength is now comparable to that of Invincible King. If you fall too far behind, it won't be good," Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
Having not seen each other for many years, the brothers habitually compared their progress and strength.
"We won't compare to that freak, but we're not too far behind. Even if you hadn't come, we were planning to leave the Star Tower and train elsewhere. Over the past few thousand years, we've basically fought against all the Alien Race King Rank here. It's boring, so incredibly boring."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junbao scrutinized Hong and Thunder God Shen with a suspicious look.
The Star Tower is home to hundreds of thousands of Immortal King Rank from the four major factions, and Thunder God claims they've fought almost all of them—how insane must that be to achieve?
This means they fight an Immortal King Rank almost every one or two days. Such a high frequency of battles is extremely rare at the King-level Immortal.
But Zhang Junbao knew that if Thunder God had said it, it must be true.
Over these five thousand years, he wasn't the only one making progress; others were equally diligent.
Although those Invincible King almost never come to the Star Tower, and only a few Peak King Rank, the majority of those who reach the High King are definitely in the Star Tower.
Even without having fought all of them, such a record is still quite astonishing.
"Don't listen to Thunder God's nonsense. It's impossible for him to have fought against everyone, but he has indeed fought against more than 90% of the King-level Immortal. Two thousand years ago, after Luo Feng successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master, he originally wanted to contact you, but Feitian told us that you were going through a life-or-death test."
Before Luo Feng left, he gave me and Thunder God ten Sealing Star each, which is equivalent to ten sealed Heavy Treasure. Even if we encounter a powerful King Rank expert whom we are no match for, we can hide in the Sealing Star and they will be helpless against us," Hong said modestly.
"Hong, you actually know how to be humble? Isn't 90% of the King-level Immortal enough to satisfy you?"
" Luo Feng was quite generous, giving me ten Sealing Star each. Why didn't he give me any?" Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"He wanted to give it to us back then, but you weren't there. This time when we go back to find him, we must extort a good sum from him. Now he's probably the richest of the four of us."
"Tsk tsk, a whole bunch of Heavy Treasure, including quite a few Supreme Treasure," Thunder God said with a wicked grin.
" Sealing Star sealing Heavy Treasure, not bad, but unfortunately the quality is a bit lacking. Quantity makes up for it. To be honest, I'm going to Craftsman God Star to cultivate this time. If you want any Supreme Treasure in the future, just come to me. What good stuff could that poor bastard Luo Feng have? Just these little broken balls?" Zhang Junbao couldn't help but tease.
"Damn, so the real powerhouse never left. Junbao, I know you've been smart since you were little, could it be that you can now refine Supreme Treasure?" Hong and Thunder God looked at Zhang Junbao in shock and asked incredulously.
"Just average, only third in the universe!"
"When it comes to shamelessness, I, Thunder God, would call you the strongest!" Thunder God said, giving a thumbs up.
"Screw you!"
"Let's go back to Chaos City."
"My Soul Slave are all from Alien Race and don't have coordinates for Human Territory. Does anyone have them? We can't exactly fly back in a spaceship!" Zhang Junbao asked.
"You can't compare to Brother Hong in this regard; he's an expert in this field."
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang Junbao looked at Hong with a smile.
As a master of illusions and an expert in the realm of souls, capturing Soul Slave was indeed the easiest thing for Hong.
"Over the years, we've been hunted down by many Alien Race King Rank. Some of them couldn't defeat me and Thunder God, so we simply enslaved them. Over thousands of years, that's accumulated to several hundred."
"Hiss"
Hong's words made Zhang Junbao gasp. As expected of a master of illusion, he had captured hundreds of Soul Slave with ease.
"Not all of them were enslaved by me. Among the Alien Race that were hunting us, some were originally soul masters, and naturally had many Soul Slave. After I enslaved them, their servants naturally became mine as well."
"Among those Alien Race Soul Slave, some were once human King Rank. By enslaving them, I can indirectly save human King Rank," Hong said.
Soul Enslavement is the most terrifying thing in the universe.
Once Soul Enslavement, one completely loses freedom. Although one retains consciousness and clearly knows that one has been enslaved, one is unable to generate any desire to resist, and all actions revolve around the master.
Even if ordered to kill their closest love, they will carry it out without hesitation, and even after death, they cannot be resurrected by Reverse Time and Space, which is extremely tragic.
Hong's enslavement of the Alien Race races King-level Immortal was, in a way, bringing them back to the Human Race. As long as Hong did not issue an order, their existence would remain the same as before they were enslaved.
"Alright, let's go back to Chaos City first."
Hong ordered one of the Human Race to King Rank the Divine Kingdom Passage. The spaceship entered the Divine Kingdom Passage and returned directly to a desolate planet not far from the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters.
Let's go!
Zhang Junbao unleashed his domain, bringing Hong and Thunder God with him, Teleportation to the spacetime passage leading to the Initial Universe.
Upon seeing the group of powerful human guards appear, they immediately became alert.
"It's me."
"Greetings, Aurora King!"
"These two are Hong and Thunder God. They both have the qualifications for permanent residence in Chaos City. We are going to Chaos City."
"Yes, the Virtual Universe Network has verified the identities of the three of you. Immediately arrange for a spaceship to proceed to Chaos City."
Thank you.
Zhang Junbao, along with Hong and Thunder God, headed straight towards the spaceship.
Only after they left did the Immortal guarding the passage breathe a sigh of relief.
"Was that ' Teleportation ' just now? Legend has it that the Aurora King is also World Lord, yet he can even perform Teleportation. That's terrifying."
"What's so special about that? Haven't you heard the legend of the Aurora King? He single-handedly slaughtered thousands of Alien Race King Rank with just his sword. See those two following behind him? They're from the Giant Axe Arena. Hong is a disciple of the Giant Axe Founder the Giant Axe Arena, the strongest human being, and Thunder God is a disciple of the Lord of Void Gold, the ruler of the Giant Axe Arena. In terms of status, neither of them is lower than the Aurora King."
But the two of them stayed right behind the Aurora King.
Chaos City is a sacred place shared by Human Race, and geniuses and powerful figures from the five major human factions are welcome to visit it.
But for someone like Zhang Junbao to bring along two of the strongest geniuses from the Giant Axe Arena, such a prestigious gesture is rare in the universe.
In the Chaos City, at the residence of the True Yan King, the True Yan King looked utterly bewildered and helpless, which was quite comical.
Luo Feng, Zhang Junbao, Hong, Thunder God, and even the Demon Lord Luan Shen all gathered at the True Yan King's residence, making him feel immense pressure.
Even when facing the Chaos City Lord, he had never felt such terrifying pressure.
The Demon Lord Luan Shen stared at him with a gloomy expression, his face full of displeasure.
