Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Time flies, and ten eras have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the powerful beings in the universe, they possess eternal lifespans, and the passage of time does not concern them.

However, time does not change according to human will.

Even the supreme ruler of the universe, who may possess the power to briefly reverse time, still cannot turn back time.

Time, once it's gone, is gone.

Everything moves forward relentlessly; this is one of the fundamental rules of the world.

The Five Elements Universe.

The eternally unchanging Heavenly Pool is like a bright mirror, with countless stars floating and sinking in its waters.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

"We are here by order of Dao Master Tianxuan to guard World No. 1092."

A team of fully armed immortal gods descended before the Pool of Heavens.

Leading the group was a wiry man clad in golden armor. His face was covered in golden scales, and his forehead featured a slightly curved, scimitar-like golden horn. He resembled a golden sword capable of splitting the heavens and earth!

Judging from his appearance, it is easy to tell that this Marquis Immortal comes from the Blade Clan, a well-known race among human races.

"Well, let's go in."

The Ice and Fire Venerable checked the information and nodded indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Blade Clan Immortal bowed respectfully, then waved his hand, leading the ten Military Lord Immortals behind him into the Heavenly Pool.

"World No. 1092..."

The Ice and Fire Venerable glanced at them, muttering to himself.

He has been overseeing the Heavenly Pool for a long time, and naturally knows the situation of the ten billion heavenly worlds like the back of his hand.

After 100,000 years of development, the Hongmeng Daoist Temple's "Preaching the Dao to All Heavens" project has been successfully implemented, and the vast majority of worlds have been brought under its jurisdiction.

After all, these worlds were basically just created, and martial arts and technology had not been developed for a very long time.

Even if immortal gods were to be born, they would be no match for the immortal beings descended from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

Secondly, the Hongmeng Dojo controls a billion worlds and establishes its rule, not to enslave the beings in these worlds, but to spread the martial arts tradition, which is beneficial to the development of the world.

of course……

The fact that the vast majority of worlds are under its jurisdiction indicates that some worlds are still outside the control of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

These worlds, due to certain special reasons, have produced a relatively large number of immortal gods, and their native forces are relatively powerful.

The first batch of immortals who descended from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple were caught off guard and were no match for these local forces.

“World No. 1092… If I remember correctly, the local forces, the Free and Unfettered Immortal Court and the Chaos Sect, recently joined forces to organize a large-scale rebellion.”

A slight smile appeared on the lips of the Ice and Fire Venerable.

World 1092 is one of the more developed worlds among the billion-worlds.

Before the Hongmeng Dao Field descended, this world was divided up by three major local forces: the Xiaoyao Immortal Court, the Chaos Sect, and the Eastern Ancient Divine Kingdom, each of which established a very strict rule.

After the powerful figures from the Hongmeng Daoist Temple descended to the realm, the three major local forces naturally united to form an allied army against the "extraterrestrial demons," and the battle was extremely intense at one point.

The most brutal battle involved thousands of immortals from both sides, with one immortal god after another falling, a veritable Ragnarok.

There are ninety-nine war worlds like No. 1092 among the ten billion heavenly worlds.

The existence of these worlds is, of course, due to the tacit approval of the higher-ups of the Hongmeng Dojo. Just as the four top races created an extraterritorial battlefield, the war world is also one of the places used by the Hongmeng Dojo to hone the strength of its subordinates.

Wow~
The calm waters of the Heavenly Pool suddenly rippled, and a burly figure slowly emerged from the bottom of the water.

Black Dragon suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.

"I remember now, I remember everything!"

"I am neither Nicholas, the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, nor Ji Canghai, the one-armed swordsman!"

"He is neither the legendary commander of the Explorer, nor the mighty Immortal Venerable Da Meng!"

"I am the Immortal Black Dragon of the Hongmeng Dojo!"

The black dragon emerged from the Pool of All Heavens, recalling its countless falls into the absurdity of the ten billion worlds, feeling as if its soul had been cleansed.

"The shackles of the past are gone, and only today do I know who I am."

The black dragon's eyes were bright as it murmured to itself.

Ten epochs passed, and through countless reincarnations, countless past experiences surfaced in my mind.

"good."

"Although the Reincarnation Platform training can temper one's will, only a very few can reach the peak of the King's will in one fell swoop."

The hoarse voice of the Ice and Fire Venerable rang out from the side.

The black dragon, who was still lost in his memories, was startled by the eerie voice and quickly bowed, saying, "The black dragon greets the Venerable One."

"No need."

The Ice and Fire Venerable remained calm, his gaze fixed on the black dragon, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Let me ask you, are you willing to become my disciple, Lan Luo?"

"Ice and Fire Venerable said with a smile."

what?
The Supreme Being of the Universe actually wants to take me as a disciple?
The black dragon's eyes widened immediately, seemingly overwhelmed by surprise, and it didn't react for a moment.

Who is the Universe Venerable?
Looking at the entire primordial universe, even the Universe Venerables are considered among the strongest.

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing that the black dragon hadn't answered, the Ice and Fire Venerable chuckled and asked.

"No."

The black dragon shook his head, looking somewhat bewildered, and said, "I was wondering if I was still in the Pool of All Heavens and hadn't come out yet, how could I encounter such a good thing?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Ice and Fire laughed heartily and said, "I have only cultivated for a little over two hundred thousand years and have never taken on a disciple. If you are willing, you will be my first disciple."

"Disciple greets Master."

Black Dragon was thrilled and quickly bowed respectfully.

Being accepted as a disciple by the Venerable One of the Universe is an incredibly auspicious thing, how could he dare to refuse?
"Not bad."

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded in satisfaction, but secretly thought to himself, "Last time, I couldn't beat that old fellow Yan Yun in the battle against Ji Wuming, but taking in the Black Dragon... is not bad."

As for Black Dragon's talent, it certainly hasn't reached the level where a cosmic venerable would actively take him as a disciple.

All of this is only because of Ye Xingkong.

Although he didn't know why Ye Xingkong was so interested in the Black Dragon, in the eyes of the Ice and Fire Venerable, it was just a matter of taking on a disciple.

If the Black Dragon and Ye Xingkong are related, then the Ice and Fire Venerable will definitely make a fortune; if they are not related, he won't lose much anyway.

"Black Dragon, come with me."

With a wave of his hand, the Ice and Fire Venerable led the black dragon to a magnificent palace.

The palace floats in the sky, its surface adorned with carvings of mythical beasts, and is surrounded by concentric rings of rivers interwoven with red and blue.

The mighty river carries both flames that can scorch the soul and icy currents that can freeze it, covering the surrounding void for millions of kilometers.

"Is this where the teacher lives?"

Black Dragon was secretly astonished by what he saw.

The sheer power emanating from the outermost layers of the vast river, a tapestry of ice and fire, could easily have caused his demise, let alone reaching the innermost palace.

"This hall is named 'Hall of Heavenly Observation'."

"I have been sitting here for more than twenty epochs, suppressing a billion worlds by myself."

The Ice and Fire Venerable said with a faint smile.

The black dragon was taken aback and looked down, only to find that the Celestial Surveillance Hall was located directly above the Heavenly Pool.

Looking down from this position, one can see everything happening in the billions of worlds.

"Teacher, there is something I don't understand."

The black dragon followed behind the Ice and Fire Venerable, asking with some confusion, "What do you mean?"

"It is the Venerable Ice and Fire," said the Venerable Ice and Fire.

"Among the many immortals in the Hongmeng Dojo, my talent and strength are rather ordinary. I wonder why you have chosen me, Master?"

Black Dragon voiced a major question that had been bothering him.

Being accepted as a disciple by the Supreme Being of the Universe is certainly a good thing.

However, even now, Black Dragon is still confused and doesn't understand the reason behind all of this.

Upon hearing this, the Ice and Fire Venerable remained silent for a moment, his gaze falling on the black dragon. Even without deliberately emitting the pressure of a Universe Venerable, the latter's breath caught in his throat.

"What level have you reached in your cultivation of the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique?"

The Ice and Fire Venerable, with his hands behind his back, suddenly asked.

"The third floor."

Heilong answered truthfully.

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded slightly and gently touched the void in front of him with a finger.

Wow~
The space was like the surface of water, rippling with waves.

Then 10081 faint fireflies lit up in the darkness, converging like countless streams forming a sea, eventually forming a magnificent purple sun.

"Just wait and see."

"Ice and Fire Venerable said calmly."

The black dragon stared at the purple sun and froze for a moment, a look of infatuation appearing on its face.

"Purple Sun... So this is what the Purple Sun is!"

In the black dragon's eyes, that majestic purple sun instantly transformed into countless phenomena, including mountains and rivers, all things flourishing, stars and the sea, encompassing everything.

After a long time.

The black dragon regained his composure and respectfully bowed to the Ice and Fire Venerable: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

The Ice and Fire Venerable simply smiled and said, "And now?"

"This disciple has entered the fourth level of the Purple Sun Body Refining Method."

Black Dragon said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded, put his hands behind his back, and slowly said, "This is why I accepted you as my disciple."

"The Purple Sun Body Refining Method is an unparalleled secret technique created by the Dao Lord. Every expert in my Hongmeng Daoist Temple cultivates this secret technique."

"Ordinary titles and honors may not lead to immortality, but at most one can master the second level of the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique."

"You have managed to reach the fourth level. You should know that even the most powerful beings in the universe have only reached this level."

The Ice and Fire Venerable said with a smile.

"I see."

Black Dragon nodded, his doubts instantly resolved.

The fourth level of the "Purple Sun Body Refining Method" involves a forty-fold increase in divine power, which is indeed incredible for the immortal stage.

"You have quite a talent for divine power amplification, and perhaps you will have the opportunity to cultivate the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique to perfection in the future."

"That's what the Ice and Fire Venerable said."

"Perfection? Is that so difficult?"

Black Dragon asked, puzzled.

"It's hard."

The Ice and Fire Venerable nodded and sighed softly: "Even for us, it would take an incredibly long time to cultivate it to perfection."

Purple Sun Body Refining Technique...

This secret technique is very easy to learn; it's so simple that even an immortal could master the first level.

Overall, the Purple Sun Body Refining Technique is much easier to cultivate than the Divine Power Amplification Secret Technique of the Primordial Universe.

However, this does not mean that it is easy to cultivate it to perfection.

One ten-thousandth of a trillion is still an astronomical figure.

To achieve great success in the "Purple Sun Body Refining Method," talent, comprehension, and willpower are all indispensable.

For the vast majority of cosmic beings, a hundredfold increase in divine power is an insurmountable hurdle.

"Black dragon."

"The teacher is known as 'Ice and Fire' because he has achieved great success in the laws of water and fire."

The Ice and Fire Venerable pointed gently to the open space in front of him, indicating that the black dragon should sit down.

"The laws of water and fire..."

The black dragon asked in bewilderment, "In the universe, isn't spacetime the ultimate principle?"

"You're right."

"The teacher also became a cosmic venerable only after comprehending the laws of space."

"The path after becoming a Cosmic Venerable is roughly divided into two major schools in the universe: the Way of Space and Time and the Way of the Beast God."

"The path I follow is the path of water and fire!"

"Ice and Fire Venerable said calmly."

"The Way of Water and Fire?"

Black Dragon remained silent, but was filled with doubt.

In the universe, whether one walks the path of time and space or the path of the beast god, one must comprehend the laws of time or space.

The status of the two laws of space and time is unshakeable.

If one could cultivate all the way to the level of a universe master using the two lower laws of water and fire, I'm afraid someone would have already tried it, right?

The Ice and Fire Venerable seemed to see through the black dragon's thoughts and said with a smile, "Just because no one has been able to walk a certain path doesn't mean it's a dead end."

"The principles of water and fire, including the way of the beast god, are actually the same; they are all essentially laws of fusion."

"While the laws of water or fire alone cannot compare to the laws of time and space, what about the law of the fusion of water and fire? Or the fusion of the three laws of water, fire, and space?"

The Ice and Fire Venerable said calmly.

"The Law of Fusion?"

Black Dragon murmured to himself, deeply shocked.

Yes!

Since there are two major laws of fusion, namely water and air, and fire and air, why is there no law of fusion of water, fire, and space?

“Black Dragon, the foundation of my Hongmeng Daoist Temple is far more terrifying than you can imagine.”

"For example, there is no inheritance of the laws of fusion in the universe, but my Hongmeng Daoist Temple does."

"But these inheritances are very precious, and only the cosmic venerables have the opportunity to obtain them."

"Ice and Fire Venerable said calmly."

The path of laws, in fact, leads to the same goal. In the later stages of cultivation, if one wants to become a true god or a void true god, one must eventually merge with the laws.

Some fundamental laws of fusion, which were not passed down in the original universe, are quite numerous in the Seven Towers Realm.

Ye Xingkong naturally copied some of the less profound secret techniques from the Seven Towers Realm.

These secret techniques involve the realm of the Lord of the Universe at most, so the original cosmic consciousness would not block them.

However, the way of time and space is the true way.

Although Ye Xingkong acquired these secret techniques, he did not deliberately encourage or guide the experts of the Hongmeng Dojo to cultivate them.

However, the cultivators are born with the talents of water and fire laws, making them extremely suitable for cultivating the water and fire fusion law, which is why the Ice and Fire Venerable embarked on this path.

The principle of water and fire fusion...

In terms of sheer difficulty, it's far more challenging than the Great Dao of Time and Space or the Path of the Beast God. However, if he can cultivate until he reaches the level of a Universe Lord, it will greatly assist his future breakthrough to True Godhood. (End of Chapter)
