Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 697 The True Master of the Dao of Escape

"A semi-primordial level innate Great Dao?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

He was already shocked by what Yuan had said about the Great Dao possessing self-awareness, but now he was even more shocked that the Innate Great Dao could actually cultivate autonomously? And even cultivate to the semi-primordial level?

"Goodness gracious." Yuan Ye couldn't help but exclaim, "After tens of trillions of years, this origin has already cultivated into a semi-chaotic origin? I remember the last time we met, it was only at the late stage of God Emperor."

"Yes," said the Jade Palace Master. "This one who escaped broke through 300 million years ago, but his origin strength is relatively average, only at the level of a half-primordial bloodline."

"It's already quite good, considering it's not a real life."

Yuan circled the purple pillar of light a few times, then shook his head: "This thing is still rejecting me, and the rejection is even stronger now. Forcing myself to comprehend it is more than ten thousand times more difficult than before."

"Tsk tsk, a conscious innate source is rejecting something, and even I can't comprehend it at all. How interesting."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Palace Master immediately bowed: "I'm sorry, Senior Yuan, I've told it many times, but it just won't listen—"

There was no way around it; she was very clear about the role of this Great Dao in the Yuan Lord's affairs, because the Yuan Lord controlled the Dao of the Chaotic Origin Rules, which was a perfect match for the calculation ability of the Heavenly Evolution Great Dao.

Unfortunately, this Great Dao is incredibly stubborn; it simply refuses to allow others to comprehend it, even after countless attempts to persuade it. Otherwise, one might truly believe...

Why does she have to go against people? Wouldn't it be better to find a lord to back her up?

Even though her father, Gu Jun, had some connection with Lord Yuan, countless eons had passed, and Lord Yuan had repeatedly met with setbacks; this connection had faded.

The points have long been used up.

This is why she always acted respectfully, never daring to mention their past friendship in front of the other party.

Yuan glanced at the kneeling Jade Palace Master and could only sigh, saying, "Get up. I really don't care about this."

O

He was telling the truth; he genuinely didn't care about offending the Dao of Escape and truly regarded Gu Yao as a junior.

Unfortunately, these things are hard to explain. Over the years, Gu Yao has never overstepped the bounds and has lived in constant fear. This makes him both annoyed and helpless.

Gu Yao rose as instructed and stood respectfully to the side, ignoring Yuan's explanation.

In fact, she also felt that this "Uncle Yuan" had not lied to her, but the human heart was something that even the Great Dao of Heaven could not fathom.

Yuan's attitude might be genuine, but for the Jade Palace Master who had calculated everything, it was like an unknown black hole. No one knew what was hidden beneath the black hole, so she dared not gamble.

Maintaining the status quo at least avoids any danger to life.

Yuan was at a loss; he had explained it many times, but the other party never listened and remained respectful and...

An attitude of distance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Yuan, thinking to himself that this kid had become much bolder. He hadn't known him for very long, but now he was already calling him Brother Yuan.

"Sigh, I just hope that my niece Gu Yao will have that kind of courage someday."

Yuan sighed inwardly.

Chen Yuan, standing to the side, paid no attention to the relationship between the two. At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on the purple primordial path before him. He had silently activated the Primordial Eye and aimed it at the fleeing figure.

"As expected, it's at the semi-primordial level. Was this truly cultivated from the innate Great Dao itself?"

Chen Yuan immediately noticed the strength of the source before him and was secretly shocked. Even if the Great Dao had self-awareness, it was still not considered life.

If the Great Dao can be cultivated autonomously, then what is the point of cultivators?

But the facts were right in front of them. Although the lords found this isolated case strange, they couldn't investigate it further. They couldn't just demolish the other party, could they?

However, Chen Yuan was not worried about damaging the Great Dao in front of him. With the Eye of Primordial Beginning, he could explore its secrets without dismantling the source.

"let me see----"

A barely perceptible glint appeared in his eyes. Since the Primordial Secret Techniques had become his innate talent, the use of these powers no longer revealed any special characteristics.

As the power of the Primordial Eye fell upon the purple avenue before him, Chen Yuan could feel the resistance of this origin, as if an invisible force was isolating him from any external probing.

Although the power of this isolation is not strong, the opponent is very clever, knowing how to disperse the power throughout the entire source, making the source extremely blurry, just like a high-definition picture being pixelated.

"No wonder even with Elder Yuan's comprehension, he couldn't comprehend it. It's so blurry, who can see what's inside this Great Dao?"

Chen Yuan shook his head secretly, then a look of excitement appeared on his face. "Haha, it's a pity that this kind of method won't work on me."

"The Eye of Primordial Beginning! Insight!"

In an instant, he amplified the power of his secret technique, his gaze seemingly ignoring any obstacle, as if he wanted to see through the entire Great Dao.

that's the truth.

Although the Dao of Escape has been elevated to the semi-primordial level, it is only equivalent to the seventh level of the Primordial Secret Technique.

It should be noted that his Primordial Eye had already been raised to the peak of the eighth level, and analyzing the information of the seventh level was not exactly easy, but it was also a piece of cake.

Chen Yuan's gaze pierced through any defenses in an instant, his posture of facing the Great Dao itself. Countless pieces of information flooded into his mind and were then rapidly digested by the Primordial Brain.

However, Chen Yuan could sense that although his analysis efficiency was fast, it was still much slower than analyzing the ultimate realm's origin.

"If it takes me about ten days to analyze the complete Ultimate Realm Origin, then analyzing the Origin before me will take at least hundreds, even thousands of times longer!"

"Hiss—Although the strength of this Great Dao is not high, the difficulty of analyzing it is probably no less than that of the Fusion Dao of Half-Chaotic Origin."

In other words, regardless of the power of the Dao of Escape, its cultivation difficulty is comparable to that of the Half-Chaotic Origin Fusion Dao.

Even at Chen Yuan's speed, it would take him tens of thousands of days to be confident that he could fully master it!

"Of course, mastering half of the Chaos Origin Fusion Dao in just tens of thousands of days is an incredible windfall, but is there a way to do it faster? —"

Chen Yuan was somewhat greedy, mainly because he had never experienced such a long period of time in his cultivation, so he naturally felt a little cheated.

Moreover, even considering only the spiritual index, 10,000 days would be enough for him to cultivate to the advanced Hunyuan level, while the spiritual index that one and a half Hunyuan Fusion Dao can bring is estimated to be only a few thousand, or even a few hundred points if one is unlucky.

After all, while the difficulty of comprehending the Dao of Escape is comparable to that of the Dao of Fusion, the difficulty is not necessarily equal to the intensity; it might even be more challenging for one's heart.

If the bonus from the Spirit Index is only equivalent to that of a normal Primal Dao, then it's a bit of a loss.

"Is there any way to speed things up—how ​​about trying to combine the system's power?"

However, just as Chen Yuan had this thought, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the purple pillar of light, drawing a wisp of his consciousness into the pillar.

"Huh?!" Yuan, standing nearby, immediately sensed something was wrong. "The one that escaped absorbed Chen Yuan's consciousness. Could it be trying to possess him?"

He immediately considered this possibility, but then realized something was wrong.

"They only absorbed a wisp of consciousness. If it were possession, it would definitely be more than that."

Yuan shook his head and looked at the Jade Palace Master beside him, only to find that she also had a look of surprise on her face.

"My niece, Gu Yao," Yuan began, "have you ever encountered a situation like this?"

"I----"

Gu Yao opened his mouth, his eyes full of confusion, but he could only shake his head: "I'm sorry, Senior Yuan, this is the first time I've encountered this situation."

She thought her words would offend the other party, but Yuan simply nodded slightly: "Understood."

"In that case, let's wait here."

Yuan said calmly, "I believe the current situation shouldn't be too difficult for Chen Yuan."

Moreover, it might be a good thing. Yuan thought to himself, knowing Chen Yuan's background, he was never worried about the other party's safety.

Meanwhile, inside the purple pillar of light.

No one knows that deep within this origin lies the Origin Space, but it is incredibly small compared to the origin of the Origin World and possesses no power whatsoever.

Chen Yuan's consciousness suddenly appeared here, and he immediately sensed this space: "This is actually the depths of the origin! I was sucked in by the Dao of Escape?"

"The spatial structure here seems to be the primordial core, or rather, the Dao of Escape once served as the primordial core of the Primordial Ancient Realm?"

This discovery struck him as somewhat novel, because as far as he knew, the core of the Origin World was generally formed by the fusion of several origins, and there was no clear indication that a particular Great Dao was at its core.

"So, this must be the special feature of the Dao of Escaping Oneness—unifying all origins in this way?"

Chen Yuan murmured to himself, thinking of the power of the Primordial Ancient Realm at its peak, which was enough for the Lord of the Origin World to control one-tenth of the power of the Primordial Ancestor.

It now appears that, in addition to the inherent characteristics of the Dao of Escape, this unique method of unification is also a reason for its power.

And at that very moment—

"You are very clever, Future Being, you saw through the essence of the Source World at a glance."

A figure suddenly materialized before him, transforming into a man in black robes. His gaze was profound, seemingly containing boundless wisdom, and he was looking at Chen Yuan with a smile.

Chen Yuan was not surprised by the appearance of this person, and simply nodded: "You have finally agreed to show yourself, the true master of the Dao of Escape."

"Or perhaps, I should call you by another name—"

"Gu Jun, the former ruler of the Origin World?"
