Upon returning to the Human Territory, Zhang Junbao did not rush back to his Origin Clone Universe, but instead returned to the Milky Way Galaxy, Earth, and the Jiangnan Base City.
This time, he returned quietly without much fanfare, without even his family knowing.
Ancient civilizations on Earth...
Zhang Junbao looked at this blue planet. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, Earth has changed beyond recognition. Due to its special status, it has become the third sacred place for cultivation for Human Race, after the Initial Universe of the Original Ancestor and the Miniature Universe of the Giant Axe.
Everywhere you can see students from various races within the Human Race's territory who have come to Earth to study. Most of these students are at the Universe Level or Domain Lord Level level, with a small number being World Lord, and even some Planetary Level occasionally appearing.
The Planetary Level could come to Earth only proves that his family must have paid a huge price.
Zhang Junbao once shattered a portion of the Minor Universe Origin from the Void True Demon God, shrouding it within the Milky Way Galaxy. As the Core Land galaxy, Earth naturally has the highest concentration of this Universe Origin.
Cultivating on Earth now not only allows for rapid improvement in mental cultivation, but also in the Law Comprehension and cultivation speed, which is no slower than that of the Chaos City in the Initial Universe. It is simply the most top-level cultivation holy land in the universe.
The occasional manifestation of laws around Earth often becomes a unique opportunity for these cultivators. Because it is the shattering of the Minor Universe Origin of the Void True Demon God, some True Illusion may even appear occasionally. Some cultivators mistakenly enter these illusions, as if they have stepped into the legendary Peach Blossom Spring, where a day in the cave is equivalent to a thousand years in the world.
Although it was only a short time, the Law Comprehension he gained during that time surpassed those gained from a thousand years of cultivation, which became a topic of endless discussion among the many geniuses gathered on Earth.
Some illusions have the exact opposite effect: a mere moment in the real world can feel like thousands of years in the illusion. Some geniuses seize this opportunity to experience a sudden surge in their cultivation, making countless others envious.
Zhang Junbao walked stealthily through the streets of Earth, taking in the scene before him, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.
"Although Earth was created by the Sitting Mountain Guest through special methods, even he cannot fully control the development of Earth. Every race that Earth gives birth to possesses extremely high mental cultivation."
What's most peculiar is the clarity with which ancient Earth civilizations described the structure of the universe. Even in a technologically advanced universe, let alone in an era without observational tools and relying solely on imagination, a race possessing such a clear understanding of the universe's structure is extremely rare.
This is what Zhang Junbao finds most incomprehensible. Although he comprehended the " True Meaning of Taiji," he did not create it out of thin air. Instead, he combined his own insights with the works left behind by ancient sages on Earth.
Without the initial description of Yin and Yang Chaos, Zhang Junbao would have had a hard time comprehending the True Meaning of Taiji.
"Whether in my original world or the world I devoured, the descriptions of ancient sages on Earth are remarkably similar. Where did they glean these insights from?"
"Moreover, the spirit of the secret arts in * Lie Yuan Technique * actually said that my * True Meaning of Taiji * is on the same level as * Lie Yuan Technique *, a secret art created by Yuan. Could it be that the ancient civilization's works referenced in * True Meaning of Taiji * were left behind by some 'Yuan'?"
Unfortunately, there are so few records about this on Earth that it is impossible to find any more information.
Zhang Junbao shook his head helplessly. He had read all the ancient books on Earth, but still couldn't find any more valuable information in them.
As the spirit of the secret art said, the only way to further enhance the power of " True Meaning of Taiji " is to strengthen the Life Origin and the Destruction Origin.
As he walked along the road, looking at the thriving state of the Earth, he felt very gratified. He had indeed reaped the rewards of protecting the Earth for so long.
And the Earth Lineage did indeed respond to their protection. After Hong and Thunder God became Universe Master, several Universe Venerable were born on the Earth Lineage. The Manka Star race, once known as the strongest Human Race, was no longer a match for the Earth Lineage.
Just as Zhang Junbao was preparing to leave Earth, he heard a familiar voice.
"Let me tell you, back then I single-handedly suppressed the entire Earth Lineage. Even the Galaxy Lord Luo Feng trembled in fear when he saw me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Junbao unconsciously turned his head away. Nowadays, there are very few people on Earth who dare to say such a thing.
Zhang Junbao and his three companions held extremely high positions on Earth, being beings highly respected even by the so-called powerful figures of the Earth Lineage. How dare someone claim on Earth that Luo Feng trembled with fear? Why doesn't he say he himself trembled upon seeing him?
" Yanzhu King, keep bragging. Everyone knows you've been cultivating your mental state on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and you've only just achieved some success. Now you come here to brag to us. Aren't you afraid that if the Earth Lineage hears this, they'll beat you to death?"
"Putting everything else aside, your teacher is the father of the Daoist Sanfeng. How dare you say such things in front of him?" The companions standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and all looked down on Yanzhu King.
The Nightmare Yanzhu King, having his secret exposed, was somewhat embarrassed and blushed, wanting to argue with them.
As for taking action, if these people had dared to speak to him like that before he came to Earth, he would have turned on them on the spot. But now, after being taught by Zhang Junbao's father for hundreds of thousands of years, the Yanzhu King finally knows what forbearance and humility mean.
Although he hasn't shaken off his tendency to boast, at least he has a more normal mindset now.
Upon hearing the mention of Zhang Junbao's father, the Yanzhu King instinctively shrank back and quickly looked around. Only when he realized that no one was paying attention to him did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Clearly, he has been trained quite badly over the past tens of thousands of years.
Seeing this, Zhang Junbao smiled.
"Back then, he accepted a Supreme Treasure from Shi Huo Venerable, promising to educate Yanzhu King. Now, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and judging from his appearance, his jealousy has probably diminished considerably. It can be considered that he has fulfilled his promise to Shi Huo Venerable."
"With his current strength, he's only at the level of Invincible King. The former True Yan King has now become the Venerable Zhen Yan, and under the tutelage of the Demon Lord Luan Shen, his power has reached the level of Universe Overlord. Over the years, Human Race has gained a lot of resources, and the Venerable Zhen Yan has also benefited greatly."
Because of his relationship with Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng, and his becoming a disciple of the Demon Lord Luan Shen, Venerable Zhen Yan's resources and cultivation speed increased rapidly.
For ordinary Immortal God, reaching the level of Invincible King from the Peak King in a few hundred thousand years is actually quite fast. However, Venerable Zhen Yan followed the right person, and his strength improved like a rocket.
"If Yanzhu King dares to be arrogant again when he sees Venerable Zhen Yan next time, won't he get slapped to death?"
"However, the Earth Lineage, through education and without any Soul Secret Technique, was able to transform a violent, eccentric, and extremely arrogant King-level Immortal into someone who only likes to brag to his friends, is truly remarkable."
Zhang Junbao scanned the area with his Spiritual Force and discovered that Venerable Shi Huo Venerable was secretly hiding not far away, watching his son and several new friends chatting amicably, and smiled.
The Shi Huo Venerable, this father, has truly gone to great lengths for his son, the Yanzhu King.
Just as Shi Huo Venerable nodded in satisfaction and was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a figure standing behind him.
Zhang Junbao gently patted his shoulder and said, " Shi Huo Venerable, I promised you I would give you a normal son. I haven't broken my promise, have I?"
Shi Huo Venerable was immediately startled and quickly bowed in respect.
Zhang Junbao of today is no longer someone that a Universe Venerable like him can meet at will.
Zhang Junbao's status among Human Race is comparable to that of the two Universe Supreme Master, the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, a fact that Shi Huo Venerable is certainly aware of.
"Greetings, Daoist Sanfeng!"
"No need to be so polite. I'm just going back to Earth for a visit; there's no need for such a grand ceremony. Are you satisfied with the current Yanzhu King? If not, I have quite a few secret techniques for cultivating one's mental state that he can learn from." Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. This is the son I wanted. Thank you, Daoist Sanfeng, for making my wish come true!"
The Shi Huo Venerable was moved to tears; he was more than satisfied to see a completely normal Yanzhu King.
There's no need to imprison his son in an interstellar prison, nor to worry that Yanzhu King might offend the wrong people due to his excessive tyranny.
Seeing that he is now able to make some true friends and get along so peacefully with them, Shi Huo Venerable was extremely grateful. Although he paid the price of a Supreme Treasure back then, in retrospect, that price was far too worthwhile.
"There are still many cultural traditions on Earth Lineage worth studying. Even I reread them in my spare time to enhance my understanding of the Origin of Laws. You on Earth should cherish this opportunity."
Shi Huo Venerable Supreme Treasure: "Yes, I will certainly study it carefully."
Even Zhang Junbao, with his current strength, needs to continuously study cultural heritage; what reason does Shi Huo Venerable have to slack off?
The next moment, Zhang Junbao had arrived beside Yanzhu King, revealing his figure. He gently patted his shoulder and said, " Yan Zhu, although what you said is true, and you were indeed able to intimidate Luo Feng back then, he is now a high-ranking member of the Human Race. He still needs to be given some respect, don't you think?"
The sudden sound startled the Yanzhu King so much that he dared not move an inch. Although Zhang Junbao did not display any pressure, this sound had lingered in the Yanzhu King's soul for hundreds of thousands of years.
At first, he wanted to cultivate more seriously and improve his strength before settling scores with Zhang Junbao, but soon, the speed at which Zhang Junbao's strength increased made him completely despair.
Not to mention him, even his father, Shi Huo Venerable, a disciple of the Lord of Void Gold and the grand-disciple of the Giant Axe Founder, had to be extremely respectful to Zhang Junbao. It was already a miracle that Zhang Junbao didn't continue to cause him trouble, so how could he dare to say anything?
As for True Yan King, ever since he heard that True Yan King had become Venerable Zhen Yan, Yanzhu King had completely lost hope of revenge.
Venerable Zhen Yan, Universe Venerable has genuinely risen to power, could easily defeat him, King-level Immortal forcibly increased his strength through a secret treasure.
To the Yanzhu King's surprise, he had only been bragging to a friend and had somehow attracted Zhang Junbao, a figure comparable to the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord.
"The Three... Daoist Sanfeng! I..."
The Yanzhu King was so frightened that he could barely speak.
"It's alright, I won't do anything to you. Just don't exaggerate too much when you brag in the future, after all, this is Earth, my home."
"If you have nothing else to do, take good care of your father; this is also a way to cultivate your mind."
Zhang Junbao's figure had vanished, leaving only two sentences echoing in the Yanzhu King's ears.
" Yan Zhu, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?"
"We're waiting to hear you intimidate the Galaxy Lord like that!"
Seeing that the Yanzhu King had suddenly frozen, his friend asked in confusion.
"I?
Overwhelming the Galaxy Lord?
Are you kidding me?!
"If it weren't for the benevolence of the Daoist Sanfeng, who allowed me to cultivate my mind on Earth, would you still be able to see me today?"
Seeing the transformation of the Yanzhu King, Zhang Junbao was also very pleased.
Perhaps this is the world I want to protect.
Cultivating strong individuals involves not only developing their physical strength but also teaching them the proper mental cultivation. For the Earth Lineage, those with a high level of mental fortitude are the true strong individuals.
After leaving Earth, he returned to the primordial Chaos City of the Original Ancestor Initial Universe.
Within the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos City Lord noticed Zhang Junbao's change.
" Junbao, why do I feel different when I see you this time?" the Chaos City Lord asked.
"I have cultivated a secret technique and learned some mysteries about the Earth Lineage, which has given me some insights. I feel that I am now ready to fight the World Beast," Zhang Junbao replied.
Upon hearing this, the Original Ancestor instantly appeared.
"Are you ready to enter the Dim Land again? That's the lair of the World Beast. We don't even know how far the billion World Beast have evolved. Why not cultivate in seclusion for a while longer? You haven't been cultivating for very long."
"That's precisely why I need to investigate this as soon as possible. I feel that continuing to cultivate like this won't significantly improve my strength, and I now know how to enhance my ' True Meaning of Taiji '."
"Since you're so determined, I can't really persuade you otherwise. But let Giant Axe go with you anyway. Now that Giant Axe possesses the Strongest Supreme Treasure armor and the Soul-type Strongest Supreme Treasure, he won't be completely helpless against the World Beast," the Original Ancestor said.
" Chaos guards the Human Race, and Luo Feng's strength is insufficient to face the World Beast. Only the Giant Axe can accompany you to the Dim Land."
"I'll go alone. I have an Clone; even if I can't defeat the World Beast, I can escape. But the Giant Axe is True God; without Clone, if it perishes, that would be the real loss."
Zhang Junbao originally planned to bring the Giant Axe along, but the Universe Supreme Master were at a huge disadvantage when facing the World Beast.
The Giant Axe might be able to hold off one or two World Beast, but if surrounded by World Beast, Giant Axe would become a weakness.
The Giant Axe Founder had just received the Original Ancestor's summons and arrived in Chaos City when he heard that Zhang Junbao was actually looking down on him. But the key point was that he couldn't refute it.
Even after receiving the inheritance of the Duan Donghe Lineage and greatly increasing his strength, the Giant Axe dared not guarantee that he could face the World Beast alone.
If it encounters First Order World Beast, that's fine, but if the world World Beast has already reached the Second Order or even Third Order, then the Giant Axe simply cannot handle it.
Zhang Junbao also had his own plan. He intended to try to infiltrate the World Beast on his own. If he brought the Giant Axe, it would be like bringing a piece of meat into a wolf pack, essentially guiding the World Beast.
The Minor Universe Origin of the Universe Supreme Master is an unparalleled delicacy for the World Beast.
"In that case, let Giant Axe meet you outside the Tilted Peak Realm. If you encounter danger and need to escape the Tilted Peak Realm, you'll have someone to look after you."
"Alright!"
