Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Purple Sun Body Forging Technique, Ancient Ruins God Forging Technique, Seven Star Radiance Array...

The fact that Ye Xingkong was able to take out these three manuals shows that they are not particularly valuable.

In the Seven Towers Realm, they are just the most ordinary, common goods.

After all, it's just an immortal-level secret technique. The truly precious ones... probably violate the original cosmic consciousness, so Ye Xingkong couldn't take them even if he wanted to.

"The primordial universe is the cradle of all life."

"In the previous two cycles, no truly extraordinary powerhouses were born. In this cycle, which is only halfway through, we have the Primordial Ancestor and now the Primordial Dao Lord... and they all happen to be among the human race."

Tip looked thoughtful and said with great emotion.

Actually, there was one more thing he didn't say.

That is, even the Mountain Dweller himself prefers human races.

The eldest disciple, Puti, was of the human race, and the second disciple, Yan Di, was also of the human race at first, but later betrayed his race.

"Could it be that our human race truly possesses some special potential?"

Tip thought to himself.

However, in every cycle of the original universe, there exists a human race as a force.

However, the human race in the previous two cycles was not as abnormal as this one!
"The human race..."

"They are indeed a group with great potential."

The mountain dweller's expression shifted in a mysterious way as he looked at the endless chaotic energy outside the palace and sighed softly.

······
The Yanshen clan.

Amidst a continuous cluster of ancient palaces.

Ye Xingkong, dressed in a white robe, sat cross-legged on the throne and glanced at the proficiency panel.

[Name: Ye Xingkong]

[Realm: Lord of the Universe (Seventh Rank)]

[Primordial Body Refinement Technique: 1000/100000 (Fourth Level)]

[Primordial Soul Refining Technique: 1000/100000 (Fourth Level)]

[Primordial Body Refining Technique: 25000/100000 (Fourth Level)]

[Medicine God Inheritance: 100000/100000 (Third Stage)]

[Inheritance of the God of Weapon Forging: 100000/100000 (Third Stage)]

[The Five Elements Integration Law: 10000/Unknown]

……

【Wind and Time Fusion Law: 110000/200000】

[Thunder Time Fusion Law: 110000/200000]

[Light-Time Fusion Law: 110000/200000]

[The Law of Integrating Water, Wood, and Earth: 30000/500000]

[The Harmony Rule of Metal, Wood, and Water: 30000/500000]

[Life gene level: 10081 times]

Since receiving the true god's inheritance, Ye Xingkong has been diligently studying the three secret techniques: "Cangming", "Wanshan", and "Fushenglu".

These three secret techniques... all correspond to a fusion law.

"First, thoroughly comprehend the ways of the eight great beast gods, and then follow the three great laws of fusion: water, wood, earth; earth, fire, metal; and metal, wood, water."

"Once I comprehend these principles, the Five Elements Fusion Principle will probably pose no difficulty for me."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

Panwu's clone has entered the "Transformation into Chaos" state, which gives him a great advantage in comprehending and integrating the laws. In addition, with the guidance of secret techniques, his progress in the laws is terrifying.

If things continue like this, he has a chance to comprehend the entire Five Elements Integration Law within a thousand epochs.

"As for self-created secret techniques..."

Ye Xingkong's gaze sharpened slightly as it fell on the words "Seventh Rank" on the proficiency panel.

In terms of the level of secret techniques, he did indeed only create seventh-order secret techniques, and only by relying on the most powerful treasures could he unleash eighth-order combat power.

"There are really only two paths to creating your own secret techniques."

"The first path is to try to comprehend the profound laws as much as possible;"

"The second path is to continuously deepen one's understanding of the laws that have already been comprehended."

Ye Xingkong's eyes flickered, and he had many thoughts in his mind.

After coming into contact with the true god's inheritance, he had gained some basic understanding of the cultivation of the strong on the Origin Continent.

Both of these paths... are actually quite easy to understand.

The first path is to comprehend the more powerful laws of fusion, which is also the path taken by the vast majority of mediocre powerhouses.

Regardless of how you look at it, the two superior laws of space and time are more powerful than the eight inferior laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light.

The combined power of the laws of water, wood, earth, fire, earth, and metal is even greater than that of the laws of time and space.

At the same level of esoteric creation, the more powerful the laws applied, the greater the power of the esoteric technique.

Or rather, based on the principle of the fusion of water, wood, and earth, it is easier to create seventh-order secret techniques.

This is why the Lin Kingdom's heritage mentions that the requirement to break through to the True God realm is to have some understanding of the laws of fusion.

It's not necessary to comprehend the Fusion Law; it's just that after comprehending the Fusion Law, creating seventh-order secret techniques becomes easier.

As for the second path, it is a path reserved for geniuses.

Theoretically speaking, even using only lower-level laws such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as long as one's understanding is deep enough, one can still create seventh- or eighth-order secret techniques.

However, this is extremely difficult.

Creating a seventh-order secret technique based on lower-level laws is even more difficult than comprehending the three lower-level fusion laws.

Therefore, for the vast majority of ordinary strong individuals, the focus is on comprehending and integrating the laws.

Only those who are extremely confident in their own talents, or who have reached a bottleneck in their understanding of the laws, will delve deeper into the creation of secret techniques.

"Even in the Origin Continent, only a very few geniuses can create powerful secret techniques based on basic laws."

Ye Xingkong sighed inwardly.

No matter what, the rules are fundamental!

His three main combat avatars are: the main body, which is stationed in the primordial universe; the Five Elements avatar, which is memorizing secret techniques in the Seven Towers Realm; the Panwu avatar, which is dedicated to comprehending the laws of fusion; and the third avatar, "Huang," which is still in the process of being conceived.

"Once the third clone is formed, we will have another top-tier combatant."

Ye Xingkong smiled.

Although his own strength was already enough to dominate the universe, he dared not be too arrogant.

The primordial universe is just a starting area; being a king in a starting area is nothing special.

"Judging by the time, the Mountain Guest should be arriving soon."

Ye Xingkong glanced at Yan Di, silently calculating in his heart: "No matter what, Yan Di is the second disciple of Zuo Shan Ke. Even if he is ruthless, he can't just watch his second disciple die, can he?"

On the other side, Emperor Yan was also very uneasy.

“Tip told me before that the teacher had already set off.”

"But... the teacher came all the way from the Cosmic Sea, I don't know if three days will be enough!"

A hint of anxiety flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.

In recent days, he certainly hasn't just sat and waited; he has also contacted some powerful beings in the universe through special means.

For example, the Northern Frontier Alliance, to which his Yan God Clan belongs, has a leader who is the strongest being in the universe.

It's a pity that this strongest being in the universe is just a figurehead. Even if the entire Northern Frontier Alliance were destroyed, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.

As for Yan Di's friends who were also cosmic masters, they were so frightened by the name "Hongmeng Dao Master" that they immediately refused.

Just kidding, the Lord of Hongmeng Dao is a ruthless person who suppressed three fifth-order universe lords with his own strength! Even if the Lord of the Star River comes to help, unless there is a supreme treasure of the domain type, it will be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, one after another they will be sent to their deaths.

Boom~
An endless aura suddenly enveloped the entire hall.

Ye Xingkong and Yan Di were both slightly taken aback and looked at the distant starry sky.

In the extremely distant void, a colossal figure, towering 90,000 kilometers high, sat atop a golden mountain.

He wore seemingly ordinary cyan armor, with transparent double horns on his forehead, and was also looking at Ye Xingkong across the distant starry sky.

"The Mountain Dweller!"

"Is this the strongest being in the universe?"

Enveloped by this boundless aura, Ye Xingkong suddenly felt a sense of insignificance, just as ordinary humans, facing the sun and the starry sky, are as insignificant as dust.

This is not an aura of oppression, but rather the life force naturally emanating from the strongest being in the universe.

"The reason why the Lord of the Universe can contend with the strongest being in the universe is simply because the original cosmic consciousness suppresses the opponent."

"In terms of true strength, I'm afraid I can't even compare to the most ordinary strongest person in the universe."

A strange light flashed in Ye Xingkong's eyes.

Since breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he had not felt this way for a long time.

He had actually encountered quite a few of the universe's strongest beings, including the creator of the giant axe of the human race, the mechanical father god, and the Zerg queen...

However, since the creator of the giant axe was also a human, he would usually deliberately conceal his aura when facing powerful human beings.

As for the last confrontation between Ye Xingkong and the Mechanical Father God, the Zerg Queen, and the Demon Dream Ancestor, the other party only sent down a wisp of consciousness.

Sitting on the Mountain Guest was Ye Xingkong's first real encounter with one of the strongest beings in the universe.

"The fundamental laws of the universe are receding..."

"Is this the power of the strongest being in the universe?"

Ye Xingkong felt a chill run down his spine.

The strongest beings in the universe, within the range permeated by life force, even the fundamental laws of the universe must give way.

Facing the Mountain-Sitting Guest, he finally realized the true difference between the Lord of the Universe and the strongest being in the universe.

"Disciple pays homage to teacher!"

Emperor Yan stood up excitedly, wishing he could immediately kneel down and kowtow to the guest sitting on the mountain.

The mountain dweller glanced at Emperor Yan, said nothing, and sighed inwardly.

His second disciple was of such poor character that this was probably the most respectful he had ever shown to his teacher in countless eons.

Since Emperor Yan was willing to betray the human race for the sake of a supreme treasure, Zuo Shan Ke had no doubt that, given time, Emperor Yan would also turn against his teacher for other interests.

Otherwise, even if Emperor Yan's talent was lacking, he wouldn't have been abandoned by the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"Go back."

The man sitting on the mountain sighed softly.

Emperor Yan's expression changed slightly, and then a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that the Mountain Guest had come all this way to support him. Even if he was afraid of the Primordial Universe Consciousness and couldn't kill the Hongmeng Dao Master, he should at least teach the other party a lesson.

But now it seems... the Mountain-Sitting Guest not only has no intention of supporting Emperor Yan, but he's even too lazy to pay any attention to him.

"Yes."

A chill flashed deep in Yan Di's eyes, and he unconsciously clenched his fists, but still obediently stepped back.

Although he was arrogant and conceited, the fact that he was able to cultivate to the level of a universe master shows that he was not stupid.

Leaving the main hall, Emperor Yan arrived at a side hall, sat on the throne, and his face was full of gloom.

"That old bastard, Zuo Shan Ke, doesn't care about the relationship between master and disciple at all."

Emperor Yan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.

"All that talk about ethnicity and master-disciple relationships is a complete lie!"

"Only strength matters. To become stronger, one should stop at nothing!"

"Is it wrong to become stronger? I want to become stronger!"

Emperor Yan was furious.

Why was the Lord of Hongmeng able to swagger into his Yanshen Clan?
Why is it that none of the hundreds of forces in the universe and the sea dare to provoke the Mountain-Sitting Guest?
It's all because of their strength!

Strength is everything in this cruel universe.

······
Inside the main hall of the Yan God Clan.

Ye Xingkong and Zuoshanke sat on a stone bench, with a half-finished chess game in the middle.

"The chessboard is nice."

"Among the most powerful and precious treasures, it is considered one of the better ones."

The mountain dweller's gaze fell upon the "void chessboard," and he couldn't help but offer a faint praise, showing no anger at Ye Xingkong's intervention against the Flame Emperor.

"While wandering the universe, I was fortunate enough to obtain this treasure."

Facing the guest who sat on the mountain, Ye Xingkong was unusually humble for once.

"Tell me, what is it you wanted to call me here for?"

The mountain dweller scrutinized Ye Xingkong, his azure eyes seemingly possessing boundless penetrating power, as if trying to see through Ye Xingkong completely.

"The main reason I invited you here this time is for the sake of Earth."

Ye Xingkong said calmly.

"Earth?"

The man sitting on the mountain was somewhat puzzled.

"This planet was originally just an ordinary life-bearing planet, located in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield of my human race."

"Yes, this is the star system where my Hongmeng Daoist Academy headquarters is located."

"If it weren't so close to headquarters, I wouldn't have noticed it."

Ye Xingkong waved his hand, and an image automatically played in the void.

There was an ordinary blue planet floating in the sky. From its appearance alone, it seemed that there was nothing special about this planet.

"So it's Origin Star."

A look of realization flashed across the mountain dweller's eyes, and he laughed, "I never thought that after so long, you humans would finally discover us."

"This planet is now called Earth. Currently, only some low-intelligence life forms live and reproduce here, and no civilization has yet emerged."

"Based on my observations, life born on this planet seems to have a high talent for the soul."

Ye Xingkong looked at the mountain dweller with a questioning look in his eyes.

With his current strength and status, he doesn't need to be too humble in front of the Mountain Guest.

"Just some little gadgets I played with out of boredom."

"If you're interested, I'll give it to you."

"The mountain dweller said with a smile."

"Give it to me?"

Ye Xingkong was taken aback, not expecting the old man to be so generous.

But that makes sense. In the original work, although the Mountain Man was always paying attention to the Earth lineage, he mainly adopted a laissez-faire attitude and never showed any interest in the ownership of the Earth.

"Who the Earth belongs to does not actually affect the selection of the leader of the Earth lineage by the Mountain-Sitting Guest."

"Whoever gets the Earth will try their best to use it to cultivate geniuses, which in a way can be considered as helping the Mountain Dwellers cultivate geniuses."

"After all, there is no conflict between a genius being loyal to his clan and taking the Mountain Hermit as his master."

Ye Xingkong nodded to himself.

He brought up the Earth issue merely to test the attitude of the Mountain Dweller.

It seems... the Mountain Dweller doesn't really care about the ownership of Earth. (End of Chapter)
