Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 108 Discussing Taoism with the Original Ancestor

The figure in white robes was none other than the Primordial Ancestor. He possessed a refined and scholarly demeanor, with a serene and peaceful gaze that gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

"Zhou Lin, why don't you pay your respects to the Ancestor?"

Giant Axe hurriedly reminded him, "He is the teacher of the Chaos City Lord and the Ice Peak Lord, as well as the true founder of the Virtual Universe Company lineage, and the former pillar of our human race!"

"No need for formalities." The Primordial Ancestor waved his sleeve. "Zhou Lin, could you tell me how you killed them?"

He had seen Zhou Lin's illusory world before.

Although the progenitor was puzzled, he could tell that the intricacy of it was far inferior to that of his virtual universe, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But the original ancestor also wanted to learn this method of cause and effect.

Zhou Lin truly hadn't expected the Primordial Ancestor to appear; in his cultivation plan, the Primordial Ancestor was also a crucial element.

The secret technique of virtual universe is like a low-end version of virtual world universe.

“Okay.” Zhou Lin did not refuse: “I will use causal methods to kill him.”

"cause and effect?"

What is the causal means?

This word left the three of them somewhat bewildered.

Giant Axe felt even stranger. He and the Primordial Ancestor were the strongest beings in the universe, and the Lord of Chaos City was the Lord of the universe. They were actually listening to an immortal preach.

“From a simple perspective, let’s analyze cause and effect. For example, if I killed your disciple, Lord of Chaos City, that’s the cause. If you want to avenge your disciple and hunt me down, that’s the effect.”

Zhou Lin used the most concise language to first explain the essence of cause and effect.

Cause and effect are extremely complex, involving many things, and are also very universal. No matter what path of cultivation one takes, there will be methods related to cause and effect.

The primitive universe system is a low-level system.

The nine fundamental paths of the Origin Continent all contain cause and effect, and almost every emperor, monarch, and the vast majority of god-kings possesses methods related to cause and effect.

Cause and effect can be traced, and can also affect the opponent's clones.

"So how did you use cause and effect to kill those kings?"

Yuanzu asked the question that concerned him most.

Instead of giving a direct answer, Zhou Lin analyzed the cause and effect from various angles once again.

More than half an hour later, Zhou Lin finally said, "I killed those kings for two reasons: first, I knew their names, and second, I have a karmic connection with the Thorn Ring Alliance."

"The consequences of our alliance can affect so many people."

The Primordial Ancestor seemed to be deep in thought. He was the person with the highest realm present. Before being suppressed by the origin of the primordial universe, he was already a tenth-order True God. Over the long years, he had long since acquired the ability to become a Void True God.

In terms of talent, the Primordial Ancestor was far superior to any Blood Blade God Emperor.

Even though Bloodblade God Emperor left the Heavenly Fool Universe and had various inheritances, he still didn't cultivate to become a Universe God, but the Primordial Ancestor will become a God King in the future.

Not to mention that he was able to cultivate to the level of a Void True God even in the environment of the primordial universe.

The difficulty is almost comparable to achieving the Unity Realm in the Tianyu Universe, and the level of the Sword Master is even more exaggerated.

“Yes,” Zhou Lin said with a smile, “because they are part of the Thorn Ring Alliance and have enjoyed the benefits of the alliance, so naturally they will also suffer the consequences.”

The Lord of Chaos City and the Giant Axe were completely baffled.

The Primordial One gleaned many insights from this, realizing that the Primordial Universe was not devoid of the practice of cause and effect.

The continent of origin inherently possesses the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Therefore, with a little guidance from Zhou Lin, the primordial ancestor vaguely understood the essence of cause and effect. As for how to step into it, that was another question.

After all, the causes and effects of the chaotic void and the origin continent will have different branches, not to mention that Zhou Lin himself has only mastered the divine heart and is still far from the original Dao.

"It does offer some inspiration for my path." The Primordial Ancestor sighed, "Unfortunately, I can only accumulate cultivation skills now; it's wishful thinking to hone my abilities in actual combat."

After a long pause, the Primordial Ancestor spoke, "You've satisfied my curiosity. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me." He hadn't heard anyone preach the Dao for a long time.

"I would like to witness your secret techniques, Ancestor."

Zhou Lin clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Although cause and effect are not of any use to you for the time being, I can still tell you things that will be of use to you."

The Primordial Ancestor is currently only a True God, and even if he goes to the Origin Continent, he will not follow the Path of Cause and Effect.

Understanding cause and effect is something to be grasped later in one's spiritual practice; it is merely an auxiliary method.

"Useful to me?" The Primordial Ancestor was somewhat incredulous: "There's no need for such trouble. As a descendant of my human race, it's a small matter for you to borrow this secret technique from me."

He was suppressed by the primordial origin of the universe, and his deepest concern was for his people.

Seeing the younger generation of the clan grow stronger is a happy thing for the original ancestor. With such a monstrous talent as Zhou Lin and all sorts of unbelievable methods, is it a big deal for him to see a secret technique?

"Original Ancestor, your future path is actually to merge all ten laws into one, transforming them into the Chaos Law."

Zhou Lin's words had a much greater impact on the Primordial Ancestor than before, while the Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord seemed completely unable to understand.

"The Ten Laws can be combined?"

The giant axe couldn't help but ask, "Can the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) really merge with time?"

"of course."

Zhou Lin solemnly said, "Everything is formed from chaos, so the final unity is the law of chaos. It is not surprising that three or five laws are completely merged."

The Lord of Chaos City was the most confused person present.

Giant Axe was at least of a higher level, and Zhou Lin's words about the laws of chaos greatly inspired him, but the Lord of Chaos City gained nothing.

Based on his recollection of the original work, Zhou Lin gave a brief explanation of the laws of chaos. As for the specifics, he certainly didn't understand them, since he hadn't even mastered the complete laws of space.

To know something but not to act on it is simply to not know it at all.

But for those who understand, a single word of advice from Zhou Lin, an outsider, is enough.

"Giant Axe, Chaos, you two wait a while."

The ancestor said solemnly, "I am prepared to show Zhou Lin my secret technique in its entirety."

He treated Zhou Lin as a human junior from the very beginning, and listening to the cause and effect was just to satisfy his own curiosity and see if he could gain any inspiration.

Now it truly feels like the two of them are having a philosophical discussion.

"Thank you, Ancestor," Zhou Lin said, clasping his hands in thanks.

Swish!
Zhou Lin was moved to the origin of the virtual universe.

The primordial universe has an origin, and the virtual universe also needs an origin to exist.

"This is the origin I created when I cast the virtual universe," the Primordial said softly, pointing to his statue.

Zhou Lin was in the endless void, surrounded by emptiness. The chaotic energy had dissipated. The Primordial Ancestor had done this so that he could easily experience the origin of this virtual universe.

"Have you ever wondered why it's possible to cultivate all the laws in the virtual universe, including your methods?" the Primordial Ancestor asked.

"Have."

Zhou Lin understood why from the start, but he still replied deliberately.

The original ancestor's move was actually based on the origin of the primordial universe.

It was created for the purpose of possessing another's body, so it naturally overshadowed the original.

The primordial origin of the universe is said to be the fundamental source of life.

However, it also possesses some supreme rules and can even influence the cosmic sea, which is why Zhou Lin was able to use the Void Realm Divine Heart in the virtual universe.
