Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

A few months later.

Headquarters of the Hongmeng Dojo, Ancient Origin Star.

The black dragon slowly walked out of the spatial passage, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, still feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

Two hundred thousand years ago, he entered the Five Elements Universe and was just an ordinary immortal.

now……

His divine power amplified fortyfold, his understanding of the laws reached the sixteenth level of the Tower of Babel, his will reached the peak of the King-level, and he even took a cosmic venerable as his teacher.

"Following the teacher's instructions, I don't need to rush to comprehend the laws of space. Instead, I should first thoroughly understand the 108 mysteries of the laws of space."

A thoughtful look flashed in Black Dragon's eyes.

If the laws of space are a building, then the 108 mysteries are its foundation.

Only with a solid foundation can a towering building be erected.

However, the most suitable stage for comprehending the 108 mysteries of the laws of space should be during the realm lord period.

The Realm Lord is the darling of the universe, comprehending the laws most rapidly.

Unfortunately, before becoming a disciple of the Ice and Fire Venerable, the Black Dragon had basically been practicing unorthodox methods and knew nothing about these things.

Now that he has broken through to the Immortal realm, it's not too late to mend things, but it will be much more difficult than when he was at the Realm Lord stage.

"Lord Black Dragon, I have been waiting here for a long time."

While the black dragon was still in a daze, a hearty voice rang out.

A burly man with horns on his forehead, dark purple skin cracked like tree bark, and an extremely robust build strode forward.

"you are?"

Black Dragon was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"I am the Ironclad Marquis, and I currently hold a position at the Tianxuan Palace."

The burly man said with a chuckle.

Black Dragon's expression hardened, and his face immediately turned serious.

Tianxuan Palace, that's the trusted subordinate of the Tianxuan Dao Master.

In the Hongmeng Dojo, the Hongmeng Dao Master is undoubtedly the ultimate boss.

However, the Lord of Hongmeng Dao has always been aloof and unseen, and the Black Dragon has never even shown his face once.

The second-ranked person is none other than Ye Xuan, the master of Tianxuan Dao.

Of course, neither Ye Xuan, the master of Tianxuan Dao, nor the Black Dragon had ever seen her before.

"Ha ha!"

"You don't need to be nervous, it's nothing serious, and it's actually a good thing for you."

Ironclad Marquis laughed heartily and spoke in a bold tone.

"Good thing?"

Black Dragon was completely bewildered and very puzzled.

Could it be that my cosmic master teacher has arranged some benefits for me again?

Black Dragon didn't actually know much about the Ice and Fire Venerable.

However, he could vaguely guess that among all the cosmic venerables in the Hongmeng Dojo, Venerable Ice and Fire was probably among the strongest.

It should be noted that the vast majority of the cosmic venerables within the Hongmeng Dojo were originally Ye Xingkong's fifteen great king-level servants.

They were already at the limit of the King-level realm, invincible at the King-level realm. They had cultivated for countless years and were only one hurdle away from breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm.

The Ice and Fire Venerable, on the other hand, truly started his cultivation from the cosmic level and grew into a cosmic venerable in just tens of thousands of years.

If this cultivation speed were placed in the outside world, it would be far more exaggerated than that of geniuses at the level of Kodi and Venerable Fiery Erosion.

In the original work, it took Venerable Fiery Erosion hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate to the level of Venerable Universe.

Of course, compared to Kodi and Venerable Fire Erosion, Venerable Ice and Fire had much better cultivation conditions.

The Tianyuan Mountain and the Reincarnation Platform alone—the former for comprehending the laws, the latter for tempering one's will—are unparalleled by anything outside.

However, this cannot negate the talent of the Ice and Fire Venerable!

It can be said that the Ice and Fire Venerable is the strongest genius cultivated by the Hongmeng Dojo since its inception.

Even among the human race, a genius of Koti's caliber is one in hundreds of millions of epochs.

"Black Dragon Marquis".

"By order of the Tianxuan Dao Master, I appoint you as the Minister of Commerce of the Qianwu Branch of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple."

After saying that, Ironclad Marquis patted Black Dragon on the shoulder and grinned, "Of course, you can refuse. Our Hongmeng Dojo has always been quite lenient in its management of the strong, and we generally don't force anything."

"But don't blame me for not telling you, the Minister of Commerce is a highly sought-after position!"

"Many immortals would be vying to become marquises, but if our sect didn't have a shortage of kings right now, you wouldn't be in the running."

"Ironclad Marquis said with a smile."

"Qianwu Branch? Minister of Commerce? What is this?"

After hearing this, Black Dragon looked completely bewildered.

What happened to the universe during the two hundred thousand years I was away?
Immediately, the black dragon separated a wisp of its consciousness and entered the virtual universe.

"The Hongmeng Daoist Academy has already established a branch in the 1008 Universe Nations of Humanity!"

"The Force series of medicines are in short supply!"

"The Hongmeng Dojo has become one of the six top powers in humankind!"

……

The messages came like a bombshell, leaving Heilong stunned for a while.

I only secluded myself for two hundred thousand years, how did the Hongmeng Daoist Temple become the sixth top power?

It feels like I joined an ordinary company, and the following year the company became a Fortune 500 company!
"This...this is unbelievable!"

A hint of shock flashed deep in the black dragon's eyes.

"Brother Black Dragon, there's no need to rush into a decision."

Ironclad Marquis seemed to notice that Black Dragon was hesitant, so he said, "Go back and think it over carefully. After the experts of my Hongmeng Dojo break through to immortality, they have two paths to choose from: being sent to other places or staying at headquarters. Each path has its own advantages, but once a decision is made, it is difficult to change it."

"it is good."

Black Dragon nodded.

He has just come out of the Five Elements Universe and is not yet familiar with many situations, so it is indeed not appropriate for him to make a decision immediately.

……

After half an hour.

Black Dragon returned to his cultivation manor.

Two hundred thousand years have passed, and the world has changed, but this ancient manor appears to have remained unchanged on the surface.

"Owner."

An elderly man dressed in a gray suit, who looked much like the black dragon with black scales and horns, was quietly waiting at the entrance of the manor.

"Aslo, you..."

Black Dragon looked at the old man in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing between his brows.

Aslo is the steward of this manor. He is also from the Black Dragon Clan and is considered one of Black Dragon's trusted confidants.

However, two hundred thousand years ago, Aslo was only a second-tier Domain Lord level martial artist. Unexpectedly, he has now reached the peak of World Lord.

"It seems a lot has happened in the outside world since the 20th epoch."

Heilong felt a mix of emotions.

"Master, a banquet has been prepared at the manor."

Aslo bowed slightly, his expression meticulous.

He led the black dragon to a magnificent hall, where hundreds of servants brought out delicious food with beautiful colors, aromas, and tastes.

As the black dragon sat on the throne, he couldn't help but relax.

After years of cultivation, he hadn't enjoyed this kind of experience in a long time.

"Where are the sisters, Buyi and Buko? I haven't seen them."

Black Dragon, enjoying his meal, was in a good mood and casually asked, "Master?"

"They retired and returned to their hometowns 160,000 years ago."

Aslo said calmly.

"That's it..."

Heilong put down his cutlery, a look of realization flashing across his face.

Buyi and Buke were his most beloved maids before, and their appearances were naturally stunning. Most importantly, they looked very much like his first love.

In the past, when he was relaxing after training, Heilong would often play with the Buyi and Buko sisters.

It seems they have probably died of old age by now.

After all, even a cosmic-level being only has a lifespan of 100,000 years.

The 20th century...

For all living beings in the universe, this is indeed a period of great change.

"That's it, everyone, please step aside."

Black Dragon waved his hand, his interest vanished, and ordered his men to remove all the delicacies from the table.

"Aslo, tell me, what major events have occurred in the past 20th century?"

Black Dragon stood with his hands behind his back, letting out a silent sigh.

After all, he was an immortal god who had lived for millions of years and possessed a near-infinite lifespan. He might not care much about the life and death of two mortals, but he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

"As ordered."

Aslo bowed slightly and reported on the intelligence he had compiled over the years in great detail.

After a long time.

"At first, no one realized that the sudden expansion of the Hongmeng Dojo was actually the rise of the sixth top power in the human race."

"Over the past two hundred thousand years, the emergence of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple has indeed brought about great changes to the 1008 Universe Kingdoms of humankind."

A hint of emotion flashed across Aslo's face.

Before the Hongmeng Dojo, the five major powers had existed for countless years.

For the vast majority of beings in the universe, from the moment they are born, five major forces have ruled over the entire human race.

Absolute authority! Absolutely invincible!
However, the emergence of the Hongmeng Daoist Temple broke a major law that had existed for countless years.

The five major powers were not born to be the dominant forces; there are always those who can challenge them.

Everyone living in this era is witnessing history.

"So...so that's how it is?"

Black Dragon was utterly shocked.

"With my original aptitude, I had virtually no hope of breaking through to the realm master level."

"However, with the advent of the Force series of potions, I quickly completed the energy accumulation from the second level of Domain Lord to the peak of Domain Lord, and spent the rest of my time comprehending the laws."

"Finally, 120,000 years ago, I managed to break through to the realm master level."

A glint flashed in Aslo's eyes.

There are three major hurdles in breaking through from Domain Lord to Realm Lord.

Energy accumulation, understanding of laws, and the leap in life genes are all indispensable.

Generally speaking, accumulating energy from the first to the ninth level of a Domain Lord is the simplest, as long as there are sufficient cultivation resources.

For example, the core geniuses of the five major forces don't need to waste a lot of time absorbing energy; they can simply immerse themselves in the energy chamber.

However, understanding the laws and gene leaps require, to a greater or lesser extent, talent, insight, and luck.

However, geniuses are ultimately only a minority in the vast universe.

Even if you add all the geniuses at the core of the five major powers together, they might not be able to exceed ten thousand.

For the vast majority of ordinary strong individuals, even completing the accumulation of energy is a luxury.

"Without the Force series of potions, it would probably take me another sixty epochs to cultivate from the second level of Domain Lord to the ninth level of Domain Lord step by step."

"This is even with the fact that my master left me a lot of cultivation resources."

"Ordinary domain lords would probably have to go on life-or-death adventures in the universe to earn money to buy resources."

Aslo spoke, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

The black dragon nodded slowly.

For the most brilliant minds in the universe, the Force series of potions are actually of little significance.

However, for ordinary martial artists, it might be enough to enable a Domain Lord to break through to World Lord, or even enable a World Lord to break through to Immortality.

"No wonder my Hongmeng Daoist Temple has become the sixth major power."

"The Force series of potions are indeed incredibly powerful!"

"Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you must purchase the medicines from my Hongmeng Daoist Temple. The target audience is too broad."

A slight smile appeared on the black dragon's lips.

At this moment, he felt that the best decision he had ever made in his life was joining the Hongmeng Dojo!

······
Headquarters of Hongmeng Daoist Temple.

Above the boundless heavens, lies the Primordial Dao Palace.

The lush and verdant Enlightenment Tree stands tall and straight, its thousands of shadows swaying as wisps of pure life energy emanate from it.

Just by taking a gentle breath, you can feel every cell in your body cheering with joy.

Living in such an environment for a few days, the life energy absorbed is equivalent to consuming a precious fruit of life.

Under the Enlightenment Tree.

Ye Xingkong, dressed in white, sat cross-legged on the ground with a calm expression.

Several high-ranking members of the Hongmeng Daoist Academy stood respectfully in front of him.

"Reporting to the Dao Master, after 100,000 years of development, my Hongmeng Daoist Academy branches have now covered all 1008 human universes."

"According to the initial plan, one first-level branch, ten second-level branches, one hundred third-level branches... and one hundred million ninth-level branches have been established in each universe country."

The Ancient Illusion Venerable was the first to step forward and report on his work.

The Ancient Illusion Venerable is now considered to hold a high position and great power within the Hongmeng Dojo.

After all, she is the Cosmic Venerable in charge of commerce, which is equivalent to holding the financial power of the entire Hongmeng Dojo.

Hongmeng Dojo needs money to expand and establish branches, right?
Discovering geniuses and cultivating strong individuals requires money, right?

Wherever money is needed, it must pass through the hands of the Ancient Illusion Venerable. How could his power be anything but great?

"Although our Hongmeng Dojo has profited greatly from the Force series of potions, the Dojo has been expanding rapidly, and a lot of funds have been consumed in various places."

"Therefore, over the past 100,000 years, the economy has only barely managed to break even."

After Gu Huan Zun Zhe finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up at Ye Xing Kong's expression.

Ye Xingkong simply nodded slightly, remaining calm and composed.

Today, the Hongmeng Dojo has become the sixth largest power in humankind, with its sphere of influence expanding to the entire 1008 universe kingdoms of humankind.

It would be unrealistic to follow the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield model and establish dozens or even hundreds of Level 9 branches on every inhabited planet within human territory.

Let alone the Hongmeng Daoist Temple alone, even the combined strength of the six major human powers would be far from enough.

Resources are less than population; this is the norm in the universe.

Resources are limited, but the number of lives is increasing.

Billions of races in the universe are competing for territory and resources!

This competition is extremely brutal, even to the point of waging wars.

In the vast universe, countless groups have vanished into the long river of history.

Ye Xingkong's grand ambition in establishing the Hongmeng Dojo was to enable the entire human race to live in peace and prosperity, free from slavery and infighting, and even to usher in an era of universal martial arts.

However, we must take things one step at a time.

Even if Ye Xingkong is incredibly powerful, he still has to respect objective laws. (End of Chapter)
