Chapter 475 Ancient God Inheritance and the Origin of the Heavenly Dao! A Copy!
"The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Formation..."
Chu Yang looked at the tombs again, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He had naturally heard of the Zhou Tian Star Array, but he never expected that he would encounter a flawed version in the Super God World.
The power of this Lesser Heavenly Array is incomparable to the legendary Great Heavenly Array.
Otherwise, why would it take a full 108 ancient gods to barely suppress a whole celestial origin?
Of course, these 108 ancient gods probably weren't considered particularly powerful in prehistoric times.
This also shows that although the Lesser Heavenly Array is not as powerful as the Greater Heavenly Array, it is still quite profound.
To Chu Yang's regret, he was unable to figure out the thing he was most curious about: whether the ancient Heavenly Court existed!
If an ancient celestial court really existed in the world of Super Gods, that would be quite interesting...
This shows that all Chinese myths and legends are linked to prehistoric civilizations, and everything can be traced back to a specific source.
Even without getting an answer, Chu Yang became more and more convinced of this.
Just now, when he looked down over the entire ruins universe through the Small Heavenly Array, he made an amazing discovery!
The so-called remnant universe is not a space or a galaxy, but a vast continent floating independently in the universe!
This continent covers an extremely vast area, but in Chu Yang's eyes, it was simply a magnified version of China!
This gave him the illusion that this continent was forcibly moved from Earth to this place by some powerful being in prehistoric times!
Considering Earth's ambiguous and difficult-to-trace origins, Chu Yang even came up with an even bolder guess.
That is, in prehistoric times, in an unknown universe, there once existed a huge planet, on which lived the most powerful cultivators, a place of exceptional beauty and talent.
As the catastrophe descended, that planet became the primary target of the Heavenly Dao.
Ultimately, that planet was shattered into pieces. A group of powerful beings preserved the land of China and moved it to the Remnant Universe.
The name "Relics" comes from this.
Although it was shattered into pieces, the planet was not completely destroyed. The great sorcerer preserved its core part and sent it to the vast void of the universe.
And that most core part is the Earth as it is today!
Chu Yang let out a long breath; this was the conclusion he had finally deduced after combining all the clues.
Although it has not been confirmed yet, he is almost certain that his guess is correct!
From this perspective, it seems that he has figured everything out and achieved all the purposes of coming to the unknown universe.
But in reality, for Chu Yang, it was just the beginning.
This universe of ruins is a great opportunity for him!
Regardless of whether the ancient Heavenly Court exists or not, the legacy of those ancient god cultivators plays a crucial role for Chu Yang.
The ancient gods cultivated the Heavenly Dao, while Chu Yang comprehended the Heavenly Dao!
Although the two are vastly different, they share some similarities.
Chu Yang's comprehension of the origins of Fengdu and Tianque has reached a bottleneck, and the many inheritances in this relic universe are the opportunity for him to break through the bottleneck!
He didn't want his progress in comprehending the origin of [Tianque] to be too far ahead of the origin of [Fengdu]. Ideally, the two should always be on par and maintain a balance.
At present, although the Divine Thunder Jade Palace is much more powerful than the Soul Lamp, the latter is also quite mysterious and still maintains a balance.
However, if Chu Yang gains a deeper understanding of the essence of one of the two Zanpakuto, this balance will be broken.
What he pursued was not to reach the pinnacle in a certain direction, but to one day hold the power of both the Underworld and the Heavenly Emperor.
However, now, the opportunity to further comprehend the essence of these two Zanpakuto has been found!
The only problem is that after Chu Yang received the inheritances of the various ancient gods, he would never stay in the ruins universe to suppress those origins of the Heavenly Dao with his own power.
Therefore, this inevitably leads to the loss of much of the Heavenly Dao's essence, causing the power of the transcendent Heavenly Dao to recover significantly.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. But as long as he keeps the situation under control, even if the power of the Heavenly Dao recovers significantly, he can still suppress it!
Besides comprehending the origin of [Tianque], Chu Yang had another consideration.
Now, on the surface, all the clues seem to have come to an end, and all the problems seem to have been solved.
The key lies in...
According to the judgment of the Soul Palace, the Super God World has never been "cleared"!
Logically speaking, the biggest "boss" in the world of Super Gods should be Karl and Void, but now Karl is dead, and the problem with Void has been completely solved. Chu Yang has only left a tiny gap.
In this situation, the world of the gods should have been "completed" by now, but the Soul Palace remained completely silent.
This suggests that the world of Super Gods hides an even bigger "boss," or rather, a greater secret.
Luo Shen quickly ended her state of enlightenment, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a sharp light, clearly indicating that she had gained a great deal.
Chu Yang summoned back the three sacred spirits, and then directly ordered, "Separately search for the forbidden land of the gods."
After speaking, he looked at Ao Ting, frowned, and asked, "How many prehistoric gods are known?"
Ao Ting gave a wry smile and said, "There are no records of any prehistoric ancient gods, and no one even knows their names."
"However, what is certain is that at least four figures have received the inheritance of the ancient gods and chosen to remain in the Ruins Universe over the past 100,000 years!"
Thousands of people?
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes. This was no small amount. Although there were strong and weak stock market gods, even the weakest one was comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign.
If thousands of people obtain the inheritance of the ancient gods, it is equivalent to the existence of thousands of powerful beings above the Heavenly Sovereign level in this relic universe!
But the problem is...
After entering the Relics Universe, he and Ao Ting rushed to the area where Xiao Zhou Tian Xing Chen Town was located, but they did not encounter a second forbidden land along the way.
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Ao Ting quickly explained, "Master, we have been traveling around the edge of the Ruins Universe. This is a safe route that I discovered last time."
"However, the Forbidden Lands are indeed scattered, and the Relic Universe is too vast, so finding the Forbidden Lands is not an easy task."
Chu Yang nodded. He had expected this. If the Forbidden Land of Gods were really that easy to find, countless powerful individuals would not have risked their lives and gained nothing.
"Tell me about the dangers of this remnant universe..." Chu Yang said thoughtfully.
For 100,000 years, 99% of the cultivators who entered the Relics Universe died here without even seeing a glimpse of the Forbidden Land of Gods.
This suggests that, besides the forbidden lands, other dangers exist in the Relic Universe.
Upon hearing his question, Ao Ting's expression turned strange, and he said, "This so-called danger is completely negligible to Master..."
Ao Ting gave a brief explanation, which surprised Chu Yang.
Why is it said that the stronger a person is, the greater the danger they face when entering the Lost Universe?
Because there exists a strange rule in the Relics Universe, and this rule originates from the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Its effect is simple: it creates a copy of the entrant.
Everything about the clone is exactly the same as the original, and it knows no pain and has no fear of death.
Ao Ting encountered three clones last time. These clones are born from the center of the Relic Universe, then lock onto the location of the clone and begin their pursuit.
The number of copies is not fixed. Lucky people may only encounter one copy, while some unlucky ones may encounter a dozen or even dozens of copies!
Copyists only target those they copy, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on the individual.
These few pieces of experience and information were obtained at the cost of countless lives in the unknown universe, and are the accounts of only a handful of survivors throughout history.
No one knows when they will encounter a clone, and they could be attacked at any time.
The reason why the stronger a person is, the greater the danger they face is because a clone only possesses the means and strength of the cloned person, but cannot clone external forces.
For example... magical artifacts!
For those with weaker abilities, possessing a powerful magical artifact can allow them to defeat a large number of clones effortlessly.
However, for the strong, even with powerful magical artifacts, they can only defeat one or two clones at most. Once the number of clones increases, they can only run for their lives.
As for why Ao Ting said that Chu Yang could ignore the threat posed by the clones?
The reason is simple: the last time Ao Ting entered the Relic Universe, he was able to face three clones while simultaneously triggering the Forbidden Land of Gods, and ultimately escape unscathed...
It was because his three clones were rather weak.
At least relative to him, these three clones were not able to fully replicate his power.
Since the so-called replicators are created by the power of the Heavenly Dao, they naturally cannot replicate when they encounter a power that the Heavenly Dao cannot comprehend.
This is undoubtedly more evident in Chu Yang than in Ao Ting.
Let alone replicating his power, even the Heavenly Dao probably couldn't replicate his body; at best, it could only replicate an empty shell that looked exactly the same.
After Chu Yang learned everything, he didn't take the matter to heart, and the other three Holy Spirits did the same.
They can be considered "bugs" in the world of gods, and can roam freely in this universe of ruins.
So the five of them split up and began exploring in different directions in search of the forbidden land.
For the Four Sacred Spirits, the inheritance of the ancient gods is of little value, because what they need to become stronger is to refine rare and precious materials or special energies through the Spirit Ascension Technique.
So-called inheritance is at best icing on the cake; some weaker inheritances don't even qualify as icing on the cake.
After separating from the four sacred spirits, Chu Yang unleashed his speed to the extreme, speeding along the way.
But what left him speechless was...
In just half a day, I encountered six clones in a row!
These guys were so weak that Chu Yang didn't even need to mobilize any power; he could kill them with a single slap.
The problem is, these clones always seem to appear in his path from time to time, purely to annoy him even though they don't bite...
For three consecutive days, Chu Yang searched a large area and successfully found two forbidden lands, obtained the inheritance within them, and released the sealed Heavenly Dao Origin.
Just like the situation Ao Ting encountered back then, after escaping its predicament, the Heavenly Dao Origin did not hesitate at all and turned to run away, as if it was afraid of being intercepted by Chu Yang.
Chu Yang could clearly sense that the power of those Heavenly Dao origins was very weak, even much weaker than the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao.
He was perfectly capable of stopping it, or even erasing it.
But Chu Yang did not do that. He had a deeper plan, and he was not afraid that the power of the Heavenly Dao in the known universe would be greatly restored.
It's worth mentioning that Chu Yang encountered twenty-four clones in these three days!
Including the original six, there are a total of thirty clones!
Good guy!
This power of Heaven is mainly used to defeat disgusting people, right?
At the same time, it was also determined that the power of the Heavenly Dao that created those replicas did not come from the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao.
Clearly, during the process of the Azure Lotus Heavenly Dao creating the Relic Universe, the Supreme God Heavenly Dao also successfully infiltrated its power into it.
The two ancient god inheritances that Chu Yang obtained were very weak, and at least for him, they had almost no value.
The two ancient gods were probably at the late stage of the Celestial Supreme level when they were alive. Chu Yang gained insights into the Dao of Heaven from their inheritance.
However, their insights were rather superficial, and Chu Yang could tell at a glance that they had gone astray.
If I were to adopt this approach, it would not only fail to provide any help, but would also lead him astray.
…………
The world of Dou Qi, the vast world, the hills of the northern wilderness.
Upon Chu Yang's arrival, the tomb guardians greeted him with the highest honors.
Now that there is no longer a need to suppress the Heavenly Evil God, the lineage of tomb guardians has become much freer, and many of their members have begun to travel throughout the Great Thousand Worlds.
In the past, the lineage of tomb guardians only chose to follow Chu Yang because of the orders of the Undying Lord and the will of the Immortal Emperor.
Now, every tomb keeper is completely convinced, and even has an almost fanatical worship of Chu Yang.
In a small courtyard, Chu Yang and the Lord of Immortality sat facing each other.
This is not the courtyard where the array's core is located, but the one next to it, with only a fence separating the two courtyards.
If they simply looked up slightly, they could see the green-robed swordsman standing upright beside the stone table in the neighboring courtyard.
The Undying Lord sighed softly and said, "His will is more resolute than mine, and his goal is clearer."
"With this unstoppable momentum, perhaps the day he completes his enlightenment will be the day he breaks through the heavens and transcends realms!"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "It's just that we follow different paths. If you can take that step, you will be no weaker than him."
The Undying Lord shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although he had gained some understanding, he was still completely lost in the fog.
Chu Yang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and chuckled, "I've come here this time to bestow a great fortune upon the predecessors buried in the Northern Wilderness Hills, and also to help you further experience the power of reincarnation."
The Undying Lord paused for a moment, then a glint flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Let's go!" Chu Yang put down his teacup, got up, and walked out of the courtyard.
The Undying Lord took a deep breath. This old monster-level guy's eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration, just like a passionate young man.
After leaving the village where the tomb was kept, the two arrived at a mountain valley.
The valley is filled with graves, many of which have no inscriptions.
Upon arriving here, even the Undying Lord's expression became much more solemn.
Those buried here all died in battle in ancient times, and many of them are ancestors of the tomb keepers.
Chu Yang raised his hand and made a grasping motion, a black light transforming into [Fengdu], then looked at the Lord of Immortality and said:
"Retreat a thousand feet away!" (End of Chapter)
