Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 159 Primordial Embryo
"Fortunately, you are excellent in every way, even far exceeding your master's requirements."

Shi Lun said with a sigh.

"Your current achievements would be considered top-tier even in the primordial universe of the Three Thousand Universes."

"The primordial universe of the Three Thousand Universe Seas?" Zhang Yi feigned surprise, though he was inwardly astonished. It seemed that the Wheel of Time must have originated from the Origin Continent; otherwise, how could it know so much?

"You'll find out later," Shi Lun said, without offering any further explanation.

"From giving you 'The Evolution of Time and Space' to your entry into the Origin Secret Realm, and then to your entry into this Origin Tower, everything was within the master's plan."

"You have indeed performed exceptionally well. You comprehended the second level of 'Space-Time Evolution' in the Origin Secret Realm and the third level in the Origin Tower, which greatly exceeded my expectations." There was a hint of amazement in Shi Lun's eyes. "I originally thought that you would have to become a Universe Venerable and comprehend the laws of space or time in order to comprehend the third level. I didn't expect you to find another way and actually succeed."

Zhang Yi listened quietly, but his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Was all of this orchestrated by the Time Traveler? How could the very origin of the primordial universe cooperate with the Time Traveler?

"You're surprised?" Shi Lun seemed to sense Zhang Yi's astonishment and continued, "The master's greatness far surpasses your imagination. In this Origin World, the only thing that can still limit the master is the supreme rule."

"As for your original cosmic will, the master naturally has a way to make it compromise."

"To be able to make the original will of the universe compromise, this Skywalker is truly formidable," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Time Wheel, the Time Traveler has gone to so much trouble, what exactly does he want me to do?" Zhang Yi asked, calming himself down.

“I don’t know, Master didn’t tell me.” Shi Lun shook his head and said, “However, Young Master, don’t worry. With Master’s personality, even if he has spent a lot of effort to train you, he will definitely respect your opinion when he needs your help and will not force you in any way.”

Zhang Yi nodded slightly.

“From this day forward, I will truly follow the young master,” Shi Lun said slowly.

"Time Wheel, has no one passed the test before?" Zhang Yi asked curiously.

"There were once those who could recognize the spacetime sphere as their master, but unfortunately, their talent in the laws of spacetime fusion was too poor. After becoming the master of the universe, they spent countless epochs to comprehend the fourth level of the Spacetime Evolution. Their spacetime aptitude was too poor, and they were simply unable to meet the master's requirements."

“However, you are different. You have comprehended the third level in just a few thousand years. Your talent for spacetime is no less than that of the master. That’s why I couldn’t help but come out.”

"Originally, according to the master's wishes, I would only appear after you stepped into the fifth level of the Origin Tower, but it doesn't matter anymore, it's inevitable that you will step into the fifth level."

Kalachakra said.

Zhang Yi listened.

"Alright, young master, I've told you everything I can. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Shi Lun said with a smile.

"Is the third stage of the trial in the Black Mountain in the Origin Realm the Origin Palace?" Zhang Yi asked.

“Yes, I originally planned to wait until you were stronger and had passed the third stage before entering the Origin Palace. However, since you happened to come to the Primordial Star this time, I took the opportunity to bring the Origin Palace down.” Time Wheel nodded.

"Just as I thought, no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity about this Origin Palace from the outside in," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

"Shi Lun, you are the spirit of this Origin Palace, so doesn't that mean you have the final say in everything within the Origin Palace?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.

“Young Master, I know what you’re planning. The Master has already stipulated that you cannot fully control the Origin Palace before you step into the sixth level of the Origin Tower,” Shi Lun said, shaking his head.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes. "However, young master, you are not yet ready to fully control the Origin Palace. I can help you as much as I can within the limits of what is permissible," Shi Lun said.

"Hmm?" Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. "What exactly is it?"

"I can give you two great benefits."

The first benefit is that you comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws during your time as a Realm Lord, and then created the Ultimate Secret Technique of the Universe Lord during your Immortal Realm. I can tailor-make a treasure for you; you can decide what kind you need.”

"Tailor-made, could it be the 'original embryo' mentioned in the original work?" Zhang Yi thought with delight.

According to the original work, the Primordial Embryo is a special treasure that a powerful force can only refine by spending endless time and resources.

The Primordial Embryo is a precious treasure that is not yet fully formed. It can be used by the Immortal and can be infused with the secret techniques created by the user. It is a treasure that can grow with the user and is absolutely the most suitable for people with weak strength.

"Would mechanical treasures work?" Zhang Yi asked.

If he were given an incredible mechanical treasure, he would be much safer in the primordial universe, or even the cosmic sea.

“No, the mechanical treasure is too valuable, it exceeds the limit,” Shi Lun said, shaking his head.

“Hmm.” Zhang Yi nodded. “Then I’ll take a long spear, which will maximize my attack power.”

In terms of survival, once he becomes a Universal Venerable, he will be able to control the spacetime sphere, at which point his survival ability will greatly increase.

The only thing missing is a powerful offensive weapon; the 'war gun' is still too weak.

“Alright, young master.” Shi Lun nodded. “Then I will directly use the laws of spacetime fusion as a basis to forge the weapon that best suits you.”

Zhang Yi was startled.

Refining with the Wheel of Time? Is it that easy to refine a 'Primordial Embryo'?

"The second benefit is the inheritance of spear techniques. I have countless secret techniques created by geniuses who have mastered the laws of spacetime fusion, collected by my master. They range from the ultimate secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe to the limits of the True God. You can use them as a reference."

"Are they all secret techniques created based on the law of spacetime fusion?" Zhang Yi was excited. His origin avatar had not been able to collect these secret techniques even in the Chu Yuan Holy Land.

Having these secret techniques as references greatly benefited his understanding of the laws of spacetime fusion and the creation of secret techniques.

"Young Master, you should go and study these secret techniques first. The forging of the divine spear will take some time." Shi Lun waved his hand, and a small spatial vortex appeared.

"Hmm." Zhang Yi nodded and stepped inside. The moment he made contact, his body disappeared.

The square fell silent again, leaving only Shi Lun alone.

"I wonder if Zhang Yi can meet the master's requirements. He stepped onto the sixth level of the Origin Tower, which is the most outstanding achievement in countless reincarnations," Shi Lun muttered to himself.

Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, the surrounding space and time shifted, and a burly figure in golden armor appeared, his face solemn: "Master of Inheritance, why did you summon me?"

"Go and forge a suitable 'primordial embryo' for Zhang Yi, the young master of the cultivation space, based on the law of spacetime fusion," Shi Lun said. "Remember, be quick, and don't be afraid of wasting resources."

"Yes, Your Excellency." The burly figure in golden armor replied respectfully, then disappeared from the square.
