Chapter 645 The Unborn Palace and the Supreme Treasure
Next, Tongtian shared all his insights into the Law of Chaos with Chu Yang.
One day later.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Chu Yang said, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.
After bidding farewell to the Tongtian Sect Leader, Chu Yang returned to his Yingzhou Island.
Even after not returning for hundreds of years, Yingzhou Island is still shrouded in ethereal mist, its spiritual energy so rich it's almost tangible; a single breath of it brings a sense of refreshment.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and began to digest the knowledge of the Chaos Laws imparted by the Tongtian Sect Master.
The chaotic laws spoken by the Tongtian Sect Leader are profound, mysterious, and as vast as the starry sky, captivating all who hear them.
Chu Yang was completely absorbed in it, eagerly absorbing this precious knowledge, and felt his primordial spirit growing stronger and stronger.
"The laws of time, space, yin and yang, the five elements, the law of cause and effect..."
Chu Yang silently recited the names of these laws, and various mysterious patterns kept appearing in his mind. These patterns were like dancing musical notes, playing out the mysteries of the universe.
With a thought, he entered the Palace of Souls.
Within the Soul Palace, chaos reigned, with countless stars twinkling, resembling a miniature universe.
In the center of the palace, rows of jade-like chairs were placed, and many of them were already occupied.
Honghuang Chuyang: "The laws of devouring worlds and the laws of the primordial world are different, but they also have commonalities."
Martial arts expert Chu Yang nodded: "Indeed, the basic laws of these two worlds are the same, but the way they are combined is quite different. It's like ordinary cement and sand; some can be used to build skyscrapers, while others can only be used to build low bungalows."
At this moment, the twelve Chu Yangs appeared one by one. After they were all present, the Primordial Chu Yang shared his insights on the laws of chaos with the "Chu Yangs" of other worlds.
"I hope this will be of some help to you," Honghuang Chuyang thought to himself.
The "Chu Yangs" from other worlds received this insight and began their own cultivation.
The world of Swallowed Star.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged, his mind constantly replaying the insights he had received from the primordial world.
"With the insights into the chaotic laws of the primordial world shared with me by Honghuang Chuyang, I now have another direction to consider regarding the chaotic laws within the Devouring World!"
"However, I am now only one step away from becoming a true god through the laws! My understanding of the laws is sufficient; now all that remains is to condense the heart of a true god!"
The Heart of the True God is a hidden space within the body. For other universe lords who want to become true gods, the easiest thing to do is to first condense the Heart of the True God. But Chu Yang is different. He has only recently advanced to the level of universe lord and has not yet reached the peak of the universe lord. He is far from being able to condense the Heart of the True God.
Chu Yang opened his eyes, and the familiar sky of the Devouring World came into view.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. If the strongest being in the universe were here, he would definitely discover that Chu Yang was currently imbued with a powerful aura of the law of fusion.
"Phew... As expected of the insights into the laws of the primordial world. Although the systems are different, by drawing parallels, my understanding of the laws of the Devouring Star world has deepened considerably. I've also fused with one more law!" Chu Yang muttered to himself.
Now, Chu Yang has fully integrated the laws of the space faction, leaving only the laws of the time faction, as well as the laws of light and wind, which he has not yet integrated.
In other words, Chu Yang has now integrated eight of the ten fundamental laws!
Once Chu Yang has mastered all ten laws, his realm will be comparable to the Chaos Realm. Of course, this is only a comparison in terms of realm. In reality, to truly reach the Chaos Realm, he still needs time to improve himself.
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt a powerful surge of strength throughout his body.
"Only one last step remains: to condense the heart of a true god, and then I can break through to the realm of a true god!" A glint of light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes.
However, condensing the heart of a true god is no easy task. It requires the lord of the universe to reach his peak and his inner world to be completely stable before he can begin to attempt it.
"I'm still a ways from the peak of the Universe Master, it seems I need to keep working hard," Chu Yang thought to himself.
He flashed into the virtual universe, preparing to enter the cosmic sea once again to hone his skills and improve his strength.
As soon as I entered the virtual universe, a message popped up.
"Your Excellency, Lord of All Laws, the Lord of Chaos City invites you to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company for a discussion."
"Senior brother summoned me??" Chu Yang was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit confused. Without much hesitation, he disappeared and reappeared in the space where the Virtual Universe Company headquarters was located.
In the grand hall of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, the Lord of Chaos City sat upright. Upon seeing Chu Yang arrive, he nodded slightly: "Junior Brother, you've come."
At the same time, all the universe lords around also saw Chu Yang.
"Junior brother, you've arrived!"
"Junior brother!"
"Senior Brother Chu Yang!"
The Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Ice, the Lord of Dragons, the Lord of Youhou, Luo Feng, and the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace all stood up to greet them.
Chu Yang bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Fellow disciples, what important matter has brought me here?"
The Lord of Chaos City did not answer immediately, but instead looked Chu Yang up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Junior brother, your aura... seems to have improved quite a bit again? It seems you have made a new breakthrough in your understanding of the laws."
Chu Yang smiled modestly: "I've gained some insights, just a little."
The Lord of Chaos City didn't press further, but instead said, "I've summoned you here today because of important matters. You should know that hundreds of years ago, our human race wiped out the Cloudwing Beast race and occupied Flowing Cloud Valley, right?"
"I know!" Chu Yang nodded. He had personally participated in that battle hundreds of years ago.
Although this battle was not in the original work, the creator of the giant axe obtained the supreme treasure, the giant axe, ahead of time because of this battle.
"The Cloudwing Beast clan does indeed have a cosmic lord called the 'Lord of the Cloud Sea,' who possesses the secret technique of creating clones," the Chaos City Lord said slowly. "Although the Cloudwing Beast clan's territory has been occupied by us humans, this Lord of a Thousand Illusions has escaped our pursuit."
Chu Yang stroked his chin, recalling the events of that battle.
This Lord of the Primordial Sea isn't particularly strong. To the current human race, he certainly doesn't pose much of a threat.
Seemingly sensing Chu Yang's thoughts, the Chaos City Lord laughed and said, "Actually, his existence poses no threat to us. We humans, even the newly promoted Universe Lord, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, can handle him!"
"The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
He knew that the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was the third cosmic ruler born by humankind in the past few hundred years.
The first one is Chu Yang, the second one is Luo Feng, and the third one is the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.
This Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was originally just a top cosmic overlord among the human race, presiding over one of the most important secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company. His advancement to the position of Universe Lord can actually be attributed to his influence.
Since that battle hundreds of years ago, when Chu Yang returned to the Primordial Universe, he has often lectured the members of the Yi Shi School and imparted his cultivation insights, which has led to a rapid increase in the strength of the Yi Shi School.
Currently, the Yishi School alone has twenty Universe Venerables, and even the True Yan King is almost comparable to an ordinary Universe Overlord.
"Indeed." The Chaos City Lord nodded. "Thanks to your guidance, Junior Brother, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master was able to make rapid progress in his understanding of the laws and finally break through to the realm of the Universe Lord."
Indeed, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace had been stuck at the peak of the Universe Overlord for countless years. If it weren't for Chu Yang's guidance, which gave him a great trigger, he might not have been able to break through now.
"Senior brother, you flatter me." Chu Yang waved his hand. "Senior brother, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, is exceptionally talented. Even without my guidance, he will surely become the Lord of the Universe in the future."
"Haha, Junior Brother, you're too modest." The Chaos City Lord laughed. "However, although this Lord of the Cloud Sea isn't very strong, he's exceptionally cunning and has the ability to create clones. Over the years, he's been hiding in various corners of the Cosmic Sea. We've sent people to hunt him down several times, but he's always managed to escape."
"So, Senior Brother intends for me to make a move this time?" Chu Yang asked.
The Lord of Chaos City shook his head and said, "We're not chasing him!"
"What is that?" Chu Yang asked, puzzled.
"Chasing down the Lord of the Cloud Sea was just a side matter." The Chaos City Lord waved his hand, his expression suddenly turning serious. "The main reason I called you here is for something else." He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Chu Yang, and said, word by word, "A supreme treasure is about to be born in Flowing Cloud Valley!"
Chu Yang was slightly taken aback, then a thought struck him. The Cloudwing Beast clan had occupied Flowing Cloud Valley for so many years, could they possibly harbor some secret?
Seeing Chu Yang's puzzled expression, the Chaos City Lord explained, "The Cloudwing Beast clan didn't choose to reside in Flowing Cloud Valley randomly. There, in a peculiar place, lies a powerful treasure. Previously, this treasure remained dormant; even after an entire cycle of reincarnation, less than a third of it had been revealed. But since the last great war, the treasure's emergence has suddenly accelerated, and now more than half of it has been revealed!"
The Lord of Darkness, sitting to the side, chimed in, "Based on our deductions, this treasure should be a palace-type treasure, and its grade is definitely at the level of a supreme treasure!"
"A supreme treasure of the palace type?!" Chu Yang was shocked. The only palace-type treasure he knew of was the Star Tower in Luo Feng's possession. If they could obtain another such supreme treasure, the strength of the human race would be greatly enhanced!
The Lord of Chaos City seemed to have seen through Chu Yang's thoughts and said with a smile, "That's right! Although the Star Tower is powerful, only Luo Feng can use it. But if we can obtain this supreme treasure, then the human race will truly be worry-free!"
"How long is it expected that this treasure will be fully revealed?" Chu Yang pressed.
"Based on our estimation, it will probably be in two or three more eras," the Chaos City Lord said after a moment of contemplation. "However, this is just an estimation; no one can say for sure when it will be born. It could be born tomorrow, or it could be millions of years from now."
"Two or three epochs..." Chu Yang stroked his chin, calculating in his mind. Two or three epochs is neither a long nor a short time. It's enough time for him to do a lot of things.
"So, the reason we called you here today is to discuss with you how to deal with the emergence of this priceless treasure."
"With the Lord of the Clouds and Seas present, we simply cannot hide it!"
The Lord of Icebound sneered, "I reckon the Lord of the Cloud Sea probably wishes as many people as possible knew!"
The Lord of Chaos City added, "The appearance of this treasure will inevitably attract the attention of other races, and a struggle for it will be unavoidable."
"Compete for it?" Chu Yang's lips curled into a cold smile. "Anyone who dares to try and take it will never leave alive!"
The strongest force of the human race right now, the Giant Axe Founder, is still in seclusion comprehending the supreme treasure weapon he just obtained not long ago. So for now, if we want to defend Flowing Cloud Valley, we still have to rely on these human universe masters.
"Haha, I'm relieved to hear you say that, junior brother."
The Lord of Chaos City laughed, "However, we cannot let our guard down. The cosmic sea is teeming with powerful beings, and no one knows what formidable figure might emerge."
The Lord of Darkness nodded, saying, "That's right. Especially the demon race, the insect race, and the machine race of the primordial universe; their desire for this treasure is even greater than ours. If they were to obtain it, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Even if some powerful races in the cosmic sea obtain it, we must not let them get it!"
"I've received news that the leaders of these three top-tier races seem to have also learned of this and are preparing to enter Flowing Cloud Valley to investigate. Furthermore, some races from the Cosmic Sea are also starting to head towards Flowing Cloud Valley! I've already seen no fewer than thirty Universe Lords outside Flowing Cloud Valley, and even two of the strongest beings in their respective universes! If Luo Feng hadn't killed two fourth-tier Universe Lords, these powerful figures might have directly stormed in!"
The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng: "However, this also exposes that Luo Feng obtained the Star Tower!"
Luo Feng rubbed his nose and shrugged helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. I can't just stand there and take the beating, can I? Besides, the Star Tower thing will be exposed sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't make a difference whether it's sooner or later."
"That being said, we still need to be careful." The Chaos City Lord said solemnly, "Those strongest beings in the universe are not to be trifled with."
In fact, even without the strongest being in the universe, the ruler of the universe alone could pose a serious threat to humanity.
"Two of the strongest beings in the universe..." A cold glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. "It seems this time they're really going to get serious." He paused, then turned to the Chaos City Lord and asked, "Senior Brother, how confident are we in our ability to defend Flowing Cloud Valley?"
The Lord of Chaos City gave a wry smile: "To be honest, I'm not very confident. Although our human race has quite a few Universe Lords, only Giant Axe and I can truly contend with the strongest beings in the universe. And Giant Axe is currently in seclusion. We can only rely on you and me, plus Luo Feng."
The Lord of Darkness added, "Furthermore, we must also be wary of those beings from the primordial universe. While they are not as strong as we are, their numbers are vast, and if they join forces, they will be a force to be reckoned with."
Hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but frown.
The situation was worse than he had imagined. Although the human race had won the last great war, this time it was an unborn supreme treasure. Not to mention the powerful beings in the cosmic sea, even those from the primordial universe would definitely come out to fight for it.
If they were to cause trouble for humanity in the primordial universe, humanity would have no way to defend itself. (End of Chapter)
