Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 277 Yu Duan's Choice: Fortune and Misfortune are Unpredictable

Fengdu, Hengjie Royal Palace.

"Congratulations, Giant Axe, on breaking through to the Eternal True God realm!"

In the spacious training ground, a burly giant stood in the center, surrounded by powerful figures from various human races offering their congratulations.

The fourth eternal true god of the human race has finally been born.

More than six centuries have passed since the elites of the human race transcended.

With the support of numerous cultivation resources, the founder of the giant axe finally reached the realm of an eternal true god.

This was exactly what Duan and Yuanzu had anticipated.

After all, the Great Axe's talent was already very high, second only to the Primal and the two external cheats.

In the environment of the cosmic sea, without guidance or inheritance, the giant axe, at the level of an eighth-order true god, was able to vaguely sense the existence of the source of laws.

Such talent amazed even the mountain dweller.

Of course, the main reason for the amazement is that so many outstanding individuals have emerged from such a small cosmic sea within a short cycle.

"Hahaha, Chaos, Darkness, Engineer Peng, you guys need to step up your game!"

Giant Axe laughed heartily, looking at the Void True God Chaos City Lord beside him, as well as Darkness and Peng Gong, two peak True Gods.

With a lineage in place, when the Lord of Chaos City broke through to the True God realm, he was already a top-tier Eighth-Order True God.

Now, having cultivated for 170 billion epochs within the God-King Universe of the End, without information shielding, he can directly comprehend the materialized laws of chaos, making his attainment of the Void True God a matter of course.

Even if they transcend reincarnation, they still possess divine power and can continue to comprehend the laws of chaos within the God-King Universe of Yu Duan, which is far more effective than comprehending the Ruins of Chaos.

"Giant Axe, now that you've broken through, what are your plans?"

The Lord of Chaos looked at the giant axe.

Giant Axe pondered for a moment and said, "We need to find a way to make money. We can't always depend on the End. We have to be self-reliant."

After Luo Feng and the others arrived at the Origin Continent, Yu Duan dispatched an Eternal True God named Duan Gan Hongcheng to deliver 10 billion cosmic sands, which the Giant Axe and the others could distribute themselves.

One billion cosmic sands are nothing to Yu Duan now, not even a drop in the ocean.

But for Giant Axe and his men, this wealth was an absolute fortune, enough to buy a vast amount of resources.

Just as Giant Axe and the others were talking, a message came through.

The Primordial One is about to break through.

The original ancestor who transcended along with Yu Duan was already at the peak of the Eternal True God realm, and possessed numerous inheritances and resources.

In just over fifty epochs, he is about to reach the Chaos Realm, which is about twice as fast as in the original story.

……

On that day, inside the Eternal Royal Palace, the Primordial Ancestor came to visit Yu Duan's clone.

"To establish the Chaos Continent?"

Yu Duan looked at the Primordial Ancestor and said, "There are relatively few Chaotic Ruins in the Eastern Extreme Region, and they are all limited in number. Every one of them who can open up a Chaotic Continent is a top-tier Chaotic Realm cultivator. Is the Primordial Ancestor confident?"

The Eastern Extreme Region is relatively barren, containing only small Chaos Provinces. Each Chaos Province has only one large city, occupying a Chaos Ruins.

Therefore, the competition is also very fierce.

In the outside world, a mid-level Chaos Realm cultivator is generally capable of establishing a small Chaos Continent.

The Primordial Ancestor nodded and said, "I am somewhat confident. I have comprehended the source of the two great laws of the world and illusion, and created a special path, which I call the Void Realm."

"When I was at the Eternal True God realm, I perfected the Virtual Universe techniques to the mid-level of the Chaos Realm."

"Now that I have broken through to the Chaos Realm, as long as I settle down for a period of time, I can create a top-level Chaos Realm technique. At that time, with the Illusory Clone Technique and the Ninefold Divine Realm Grand Array Technique by my side, I will not be without hope of defeating ordinary top-level Chaos Realm opponents."

The Primordial Ancestor's illusory clone technique was extremely unique, having been created as early as the Eternal Realm.

Each clone possesses 30% of the original's strength, and nine clones can be maintained.

Most importantly, the illusory clone hardly affects the original's divine power and can be regarded as an independent, weak clone.

Nine clones, each at 30% of their original strength, fought alongside the main body, unleashing array-type techniques. The effects were far more than just additive.

"You've blazed a new trail, a path I've taken before."

Yu Duan was somewhat moved. The Primordial Ancestor was indeed worthy of being called the Primordial Ancestor. This was a prodigy who possessed an eternal level of will even though he had no inheritance.

If Yu Duan wants to exchange for the treasures he needs in the infinite space, he needs to create a new path and obtain enough reward points.

However, creating a new path is not so simple.

A level of primordial understanding of the void realm, like that of the Primordial Ancestor, would not be recognized by the Infinite Space.

One must at least rely on the origin of the void realm to create a god-king level technique in order to obtain the reward of infinite space.

If Yu Duan wants to take this path, it will take a lot of time.

It's not too late to consider opening up new paths when we run out of reward points later.

"There's no problem establishing Chaos Continent. If you need anything, you can contact me."

Seeing that Duan agreed, Yuanzu did not linger any longer and immediately got up to take his leave.

Next, the Primordial Ancestor plans to recuperate for a while before challenging the Chaos Lord of the Eastern Extreme Region.

After the Chaos Continent was established, the human race finally had its own territory on the Origin Continent.

In fact, if Yu Duan were willing, establishing a country wouldn't be a big deal.

However, Yu Duan was simply too lazy to waste his energy on these things, and the strong among the human races wouldn't comment on them either.

After all, without Yu Duan, they would probably still be in the primordial universe, shrouded in the shadow of the Great Calamity of the World Beasts.

A sacred land in the far east, far from Fengdu.

This place is located in the center of the Eastern Extreme Region, surrounded by twelve imperial capitals on all sides.

"With Luo Feng's understanding at the peak of the Eternal Realm, it probably won't take many epochs for him to break through to the Chaos Realm."

In the ancient and rustic courtyard, Yu Duan opened his eyes: "I can't let my disciple surpass me."

According to Yu Duan's estimate, it would take Luo Feng at least a hundred epochs to cultivate into a God King.

If all goes well within a hundred years... Yu Duan will be able to cultivate both Great Daos to the second level of the God King realm.

If you borrow a second-level Dao in advance and comprehend a second-level Dao on your own, a hundred epochs will be enough.

"call……"

Yu Duan let out a long breath and glanced at the Book of Cause and Effect.

More than six eras have passed, and the four major branches of the world's fundamental path have been fully mastered. However, the cost of this advance payment will take more than an era to repay.

This cultivation speed is much faster than when he comprehended the Boundless Origin Great Dao.

This is because Yu Duan is more in line with the fundamental Tao of the world.

This kind of harmony is not a harmony of talent or understanding, but a kind of mysterious harmony.

If mastering the ultimate Dao simply meant increasing one's talent compatibility, then the God Emperors training outside the cage would have already mastered countless ultimate Daos.

However, the reality is far from that.

Even Yuan, who mastered the most ultimate Daos, only mastered more than twenty kinds of ultimate Daos.

This is what is called compatibility, something very mysterious.

"Next, it's time to cultivate the third Great Dao."

Originating from the nine Great Daos of the continent, Yu Duan possesses three treasures: the Origin Realm Symbol, the Primordial Universe, and the Boundless Eye, which allow him to directly confront the three Great Daos of the World, Life, and Boundless.

However, the fundamental principles of life have a very low priority here.

"What is most in line with the boundless Dao is cause and effect, matter, and the world."

"What resonates most with the Great Way of the World are time, space, matter, and the immeasurable." "Time, space, causality, matter..."

These four main roads are Yu Duan's top priority choices.

Yu Duan is no longer the same naive person he once was. When choosing his path of cultivation, he no longer needs to worry about the opportunity to directly confront the Great Dao of Origin.

"Senior Sister Fengdu has a treasure that directly confronts the Great Dao of Time, so it won't be a problem for me to go and learn from her."

"Moreover, by cultivating the fundamental Dao of Time, one can also cultivate a peak-level clone."

Of the nine fundamental paths, only time, space, life, and the boundless can cultivate avatars.

Among them, Time and Space have fewer clones, but all of them are peak clones.

Without special opportunities, it is difficult to cultivate a peak clone of life and the boundless Dao through secret methods.

"And there's the Great Dao of Cause and Effect... My Book of Cause and Effect must be connected to the Great Dao of Cause and Effect in some way."

"By first mastering the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, one may be able to uncover the mysteries of the Book of Cause and Effect."

Yu Duan hesitated for a couple of seconds before making a decision.

First, cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Among the nine fundamental paths, the ones with the fewest branches, such as the paths of cause and effect and time, have only three branches each.

Some, like the fundamental principles of matter and space, have eight or nine branches.

"First, we will choose a lineage that teaches the principles of cause and effect."

With a thought, Yu Duan activated his clone within the Fengdu Royal Palace and went to the Fenghuang Palace to pay respects to Senior Sister Fengdu.

Inside a magnificent royal palace.

There is a vast and mysterious phantom here, like a projection of the entire Origin World.

Endless array runes surged in the void; these were pure runes of the Great Dao of Time, deducing and calculating something.

Empress Fengdu, dressed in blue, sat cross-legged on a futon, seemingly contemplating something.

With the insights of the Queen of the Wind City, she was able to integrate her consciousness into the universe and time.

The Earth God Emperor and the Fire Ancestor, who are on par with the Elegant Empress, can also integrate their will into the entire earth or all the flames in the world, thereby comprehending the Great Dao.

"Junior brother, come in directly."

The Empress of Fengdu suddenly opened her eyes, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

The Empress of Fengdu values ​​her junior brother highly.

During the process of merging with time and space, the Empress of Fengdu had been keeping an eye on Yu Duan. She knew that Yu Duan was comprehending the fundamental Dao of the world, but she was not clear about the specific level he had reached.

"Senior sister, I want to choose two inheritances."

After bowing to Senior Sister Fengdu, Yu Duan directly expressed his thoughts.

The Empress of Fengdu was slightly surprised and said, "Could it be that the 'Heart of the World' is not compatible with my junior brother?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Duan immediately explained, "That's not the case. Junior brother has already cultivated the Heart of the World to the peak of the third level and comprehended the four branches of the Great Dao."

"I plan to choose the ultimate inheritance of the third path, preferably a medium-grade inheritance and a top-grade inheritance."

When Yu Duan chose to inherit the Heart of the World and simultaneously sought to gain insights into the secret techniques of the Boundary Seal, he discovered a problem.

Comprehending more difficult and complex lineages, and drawing upon lower-level esoteric techniques in advance, can both hone one's comprehension and accelerate the repayment of those advances.

The Empress of Fengdu was taken aback, and then suddenly realized what was happening.

"Junior brother, are you going to walk the five great paths and become the master of the Origin World?"

The Empress of Fengdu, being of that caliber, naturally knew that this path existed.

In the introduction of some inheritances and treasures in "Infinite Space", it is mentioned that once more than half of the Great Daos within the Supreme Rules are mastered, and each Great Dao reaches at least the second level of the God King Realm, one can hope to control the Supreme Rules and become the master of the Origin World!

Of course, this is only a possibility.

By comprehending the Great Dao of the second level of the God King realm, one can, to a certain extent, draw upon the corresponding power of the Great Dao's origin.

This is why someone who has comprehended half of the second level of the Great Dao has the potential to become the master of the Origin World.

When a person is able to draw upon more than half of the power of the Great Dao from the source world, they can attempt to control the source world and refine its origin.

However, if someone has a deeper understanding of a certain path than you, they can block you in the process; this is the struggle for the path.

However, this is a minor issue.

Any strong person who walks this path, as long as they have the potential to become the Lord of the Origin World, will be appreciated by the Lord. Who would dare to cause trouble?

However, in addition to the requirements of the Enlightenment Realm, in order to control the Origin World, one's will also need to reach the limit under the Cage, that is, the Perfection of the God Emperor.

Without this level of will, even if one can draw upon more than half of the Origin World's essence, it would be difficult to suppress the Origin World's will and become its master.

However, for the vast majority of God Emperors, this last condition of will is the easiest to achieve.

If one does not possess the Dao at the perfect level of a God Emperor, then one needs to control more of the Great Dao's origin and occupy a larger share of the Origin World's origin.

In theory, as long as a person can control all the Daos within the Origin World, and all of them are at the second level, then with a thought, they can become the master of the Origin World and directly ascend to a world-class Chaos Origin Life.

"Senior sister, you are wise. I intend to give it a try. If I cannot succeed, there is no harm in comprehending more of the Great Dao."

Seeing Yu Duan's words, the Empress of Fengdu pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, junior brother, which path do you intend to cultivate? Cause and effect, or matter?"

There are only a few choices that best align with the two paths of Boundless and World, and the Empress of Fengdu naturally knows this as well.

"The Great Dao of Cause and Effect!"

Yu Duan quickly said, "Junior Brother has a premonition that the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is most compatible with you, and your cultivation should be faster than that of the Great Dao of World and Boundless."

Seeing Yu Duan's confidence, Empress Fengdu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Very well, I'll take my junior brother to choose a mid-level inheritance first, and then we'll go to pay our respects to our teacher. The top-level inheritances are all in our teacher's hands."

In the Treasure Universe, any God-King from the Eastern Extreme Region can enter by contributing and exchange for inheritance.

Therefore, truly precious legacies will certainly not be kept in the treasure storage universe.

A moment later, Yu Duan selected a mid-level inheritance called "Causal Embers".

This is an extremely common ultimate inheritance; it exists in the two ancient kingdoms, the myriad realms, Tianmu, and the Eastern Extreme Region.

This lineage is the easiest to cultivate among all the ultimate lineages of cause and effect on the Origin Continent.

Within the two ancient kingdoms of Yanfeng and Leiting, this inheritance is even open to guest elders for exchange, though it requires a great deal of merit.

……

A moment later, Yu Duan followed the Empress of Fengdu to the deepest part of the Eastern Sacred Land to pay his respects to his teacher.

Upon hearing Yu Duan's idea, the Ancestor Feng Xi was slightly moved.

Yu Duan's cultivation speed on the Boundless Great Dao of the World is terrifying; achieving the second level of the God King realm in the future will not be difficult for him.

If Yu Duan can also cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to the second level of the God King realm, then there will be three paths.

A genius who cultivates three paths simultaneously is extremely rare even in billions of chaotic universes. As long as Yu Duan can reach the ultimate realm, and with the advantage of cultivating three paths simultaneously, he will surely attract the attention of a true super being, who will provide him with resources and training.

"I have not obtained much of the special inheritance of the Dao of Cause and Effect; I only have three gates."

As soon as the Ancestor Fengxi finished speaking, he raised his hand and lightly tapped the air.

Instantly, three streams of light appeared: a stele, a pagoda, and a treasure wheel.

These are three ultimate-level treasures, imprinted with complex runes. Each treasure contains a top-tier ultimate secret technique.

"The legacy within this ancient stele is called 'The Fire of All Beings,' while the legacy within this ancient pagoda is 'The Light of Calamity.'"

"The final inheritance within this Wheel of Cause and Effect is called the 'Zhou Tian Cheng Fu'..."

The origin of cause and effect has three branches: fortune, misfortune, and impermanence.

These three special lineages are based on the three branches of fortune, misfortune, and impermanence.
