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

Chapter 699 Trading

"You're directly giving me the Dao of Escape at the semi-primordial level?"

Chen Yuan looked completely bewildered: "Senior Gu Jun, forgive me for not understanding, but can the Great Dao of Origin be given away?"

The path to cultivation has always been a step-by-step process; he had never heard of it being inherited from someone else.

Moreover, even if Gu Jun could give it to him, he might not dare to take it—who would dare to use something that he didn't comprehend himself?

"Don't worry, what I mean by 'gift' is not about directly imparting all my insights to you, but rather manipulating the source to help you comprehend it."

Gu Jun smiled and said, "After merging with the Heavenly Evolution Great Dao, I have come to know the essence of this Great Dao and have achieved complete control over it."

"Therefore, I can reveal all the mysteries of the origin to you, dissecting any factors that constitute the origin so that you can understand it more quickly."

"In this way, your efficiency in comprehending the origin will increase by at least a hundred times, and with my help, you will not encounter any bottlenecks."

"I can guarantee that even if your talent is terrible, you will be able to completely master the Heavenly Origin within ten thousand epochs, and at the semi-primordial level!"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan finally understood what Gu Jun meant by "gift".

Indeed, according to this statement, he could master this origin in a very short time, and there would be absolutely no future problems.

Because the way Gu Jun helped him was actually by starting from the essence and breaking down the originally complex information into the most basic factors.

If we compare the Great Dao of Origin to a sophisticated and complex object, this method is equivalent to breaking down that object into its most basic parts, and also providing a complete set of assembly instructions.

This is difficult because it requires an extremely high level of understanding of the essence of the Tao to be confident in breaking it down.

Not to mention, the means of dismantling the origin also require absolute control over the origin, and this absolute control is actually one of the methods of the Hunyuan Lord.

In other words, there are no more than ten beings in the entire Hunyuan Space who can dismantle the origin, and Gu Jun is one of them.

"As expected of someone from the same era as Yuan, his methods are indeed astonishing." Chen Yuan was secretly shocked, thinking that although the other party's experiences over the years had been tempering, they were also a kind of opportunity.

Having gained absolute control, once the opponent is resurrected, as long as this method can be regained, it is almost equivalent to having one foot in the Hunyuan Lord level!

Next, all you need to do is comprehend the Great Dao you are cultivating to the Hunyuan level. With the help of "absolute control," this last step is not difficult at all; it is at least billions of times simpler than breaking the law with force.

"So, if Gu Jun can be resurrected, then the chances of him becoming a Hunyuan Lord in the future are very high?"

As for the probability of a breakthrough, Chen Yuan felt it was probably less than 50%, but definitely more than 30%.

Being able to resurrect a future lord, even if he doesn't want anything, the favor owed by the other party alone can bring endless benefits in the future.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't think too much about the future, and even if Gu Jun could break through, he would inevitably be ranked after him.

For a being confined to the cage, the favor of a future lord is very useful, but for another lord, it may not be so, not to mention that once Chen Yuan breaks through, he will definitely become a top powerhouse among the lords.

So after a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "The method you mentioned is indeed feasible. It's a hundred times more efficient for comprehension and there are no bottlenecks. It can barely be considered a gift of origin."

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Gu Jun did not show any surprise on his face, because he could tell that this condition did not tempt the other party.

Sure enough, Chen Yuan continued, "However, even without your help, senior, I am confident that I can completely master this semi-primordial Dao within ten thousand days. I can afford to waste that much time."

"Even if you help me, the most you can do is shorten the time to one hundred days. But in our eyes, is there really a difference between one hundred days and ten thousand days?"

"Ten thousand days? That's impossible!" Gu Jun's expression changed. "Don't you know that the difficulty of comprehending the Heavenly Evolution Great Dao is comparable to..."

Fusion of the Dao!

"Of course I know that." Chen Yuan smiled, his expression calm. "I'm talking about the fusion of the Dao. If it's just the conventional semi-primordial Dao, I wouldn't even need ten thousand days."

"How is this possible!" Gu Jun looked at him in disbelief and gave him a deep look: "I can sense that you have not yet broken free from the cage, you are only a half-primordial life form."

"Even if you have exceptional comprehension, without a life that has broken free from its constraints, your thinking speed is not fast enough to process such a massive amount of information."

"Let alone ten thousand days, even if you were given ten thousand epochs, the number of beings who could master half of the Chaos Origin Fusion Dao would be very small."

"So, you don't believe me?" Chen Yuan's expression remained unchanged. "But why should I prove it to you?"

"Don't forget, now it's your turn to ask me for a favor."

Gu Jun looked rather grim, because he knew the other party was telling the truth. Now that he needed their help, why should he ask them to prove it?

But who knows if the other party's words were just an attempt to lower the price? He thought the half-chaotic origin of the Heavenly Dao was very valuable, but if the other party didn't acknowledge it, there was nothing he could do.

If he still wants to achieve his goal, he will inevitably have to raise the price again, but the problem is that he really has nothing left except the Heavenly Evolution Dao, and he can't offer any resources.

Gu Jun gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "How about this? My daughter should still control a force. If I am successfully resurrected, then besides the Heavenly Evolution Dao, I will give you this force entirely. Is that alright?"

He thought he had already paid a high price, but Chen Yuan still shook his head: "Although the Jade Palace Star Palace is not bad, it is only a semi-primordial force, which is of little use to me."

Gu Jun was helpless; this was all the price he could think of, but the other party still didn't agree.

Left with no other option, he said, "Just tell me what you want, and I'll try my best to satisfy you."

"It's actually very simple." Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jun and smiled. "What I want is you."

"You want me to be a slave? That's impossible!" Gu Jun's expression changed. Sell his freedom for his life? He would rather not be resurrected.

"Relax, I have plenty of servants."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, "But my world lacks a strong guardian. After you are resurrected, I need you to go to my world to guard it and prevent attacks from naturally occurring chaotic life forms."

"As for the time, it won't be long; I just need to stay and oversee things for ten thousand epochs."

It is foreseeable that Chen Yuan will soon master this last innate Dao and break free from its constraints in a short time.

When the three thousand innate origins gather and the Primordial World has completely transformed, its enormous size will certainly no longer be able to remain hidden within the Origin World, and it will have to leave the Origin World to develop on its own.

That's why Chen Yuan made this request. With a world-class Hunyuan life form stationed in the Primordial World, he wouldn't have to worry about encountering danger in the Hunyuan Space.

"Your world?" Gu Jun was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Is it the Source World?"

"certainly."

"You say you control a source world?!" Gu Jun's eyes widened. "Then why haven't you become a world-level Chaos Source yet?"

"Well—you'll find out when you get there."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Staying in charge of the Origin World for ten thousand epochs, plus the Great Dao of Escape—these two conditions are in exchange for your resurrection. How about it?"

"this----"

Gu Jun fell silent, his mind in turmoil.

After a moment, he slowly exhaled and said, "Okay."
