Chapter 738: Cultivation for 30 Million Years
Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
This was a cultivation system that contained flaws. It was called the 'Cosmos Emissary Cultivation System'. The many beings in that cosmos had continuously improved and perfected this system for the sake of surviving and becoming stronger, and to achieve their many desires.
This system allowed weaker cultivators to communicate with the world and utilize World Energy to fight! The cultivator could also employ the World Energy to gradually strengthen his body.
When the cultivator becomes stronger, he could communicate with the origin of the cosmos! With continuous strengthening, he could even control a portion of that origin.
They would be able to use the energy from the origin of the cosmos in every action, and they would be exceptionally fearsome in battles.
And in the end, a terrifying existence of this cosmos had actually become one with the origin of the cosmos! His will was the will of the cosmos. He was unparalleled within the cosmos! However, with that cultivation system, that was the end of the path for him. After merging with the cosmos, the cosmos practically became his prison, and he would never be able to leave that cosmos.
Other Cosmos Emissaries could no longer fuse with the origin of the cosmos, as there was already one who did so. Unless they switched to another system, they would be unable to improve their strength.
This cosmos of theirs was truly powerful!
However, it also had obvious flaws. They were incomparably strong within their own cosmos, yet the moment they left their cosmos, they could not utilize the energy from the origin of their cosmos! Thus, they would become drastically weaker.
Of course, there was another issue with this system.
Like Forefather Tian Yu and the 'primogenitor' who created the cosmos with the bloodline cultivation system, being existences who had created a cosmos, they would painstakingly defend the origin of their cosmos! Thus, the origin of created cosmoses would never be controlled by others, much less fusing with others!
...
On the grass plains, Xue Ying was seated cross-legged as he cultivated.
"Hong~"
Xue Ying's realm was extremely high, and his body was overbearing. Hence, merely 100 years had passed before he comprehended this cultivation system and successfully linked up with the origin of this cosmos.
"Hong long long~"
The slaughter force from the origin of the cosmos descended around Xue Ying.
'This, this is truly too awesome!' Xue Ying felt thrilled deep in his heart, 'I originally did not care about this cultivation system, thinking that the flaws were too obvious. But now it seems that I have really belittled it. Any cultivation system that could become the official system of a cosmos is amazing.'
'This...'
'I've just grasped the Laws and Profound Mysteries, yet is it sufficient for the cosmos origin energy to descend?' Xue Ying was both delighted and stunned.
According to the classification of Laws, the Law of the world most commonly seen in the mortal realm was the most basic of Laws. Examples of higher levels were the Laws governing the entire material realm, the Dark Abyss laws, the operating arrays of the Lake Heart Island, the Laws of the Sun Star and the Laws of the Moon Star. These were laws at an extremely profound level.
The highest leveled law was one that governed the operation of an entire cosmos.
For Xue Ying to cause the energy of the cosmos origin to descend around him, it meant that he was directly examining the operating laws of this cosmos! It was extremely beneficial towards cultivating the laws. Xue Ying was primarily studying the Dao of Mirage and Dao of Slaughter. Thus, he had first attempted to control the 'slaughter' energy within the cosmos origin.
'Just sensing it isn't enough. I must still cultivate other techniques.'
'The "Dark Ripple Art".' Xue Ying began training in a slaughter-related technique originating from that cosmos. Through the crystals he had obtained from the Third Highness, he could personally experience the understanding the native life forms had towards "slaughter". Every single technique involved the mobilization and control of slaughter energy from the cosmos origin. Once he had thoroughly analyzed and studied these techniques, Xue Ying's understanding towards the Dao of Slaughter would become greater.
How many people had opened the Dao of Slaughter in his hometown?
As for the 'Cosmos Emissary System', there were many more who decided to cultivate the 'energy of the slaughter cosmos" origin'. They sought strength and were naturally willing to set the slaughter energy as their main focus. That led to the proliferation of many slaughter-related techniques.
'Slaughter...'
'My prior understanding of it was too shallow.'
Xue Ying was completely engrossed in it. He could feel his understanding of slaughter deepening every single day.
He was so enraptured with it, he had unabashedly visited the Third Highness, requesting his assistance in collecting all the cultivation techniques and absolute arts in the 'Cosmos Emissary System' which were related to the Dao of Slaughter. The Third Highness immediately agreed to his request and had contacted his own clan to request for all the techniques and absolute arts belonging to the Cosmos Emissary Cultivation System.
"Third Highness, this system has no future. It will only improve your ability to perceive the cosmos origin." The higher-ups in his clan were not pleased and had even reprimanded him. "You should still focus more on tempering yourself by fighting others. As long as you awaken your bloodline, your combat power will naturally see a great improvement."
"Understood. I am only planning to use these as a reference, so Uncle Fu, I'll have to trouble you to hurry up and collect them before passing to me." Third Highness entrusted this to his uncle.
"Alright."
Just half a month later, only two more ordinary cultivation techniques were collected. However, a total of eight absolute arts were collected. Third Highness passed them along to Xue Ying.
This made Xue Ying speechless. No matter what, it seemed that the Third Highness was genuinely conscientious in taking care of the protectors under him.
******
Xue Ying focused on the slaughter-related origin energy cultivation techniques, as well as the absolute arts related to the Slaughter Dao. He did not care about others. The only thing he cared about was to deepen his understanding of slaughter. In a million years time, his understanding of the Dao of Slaughter reached the apex level.
Naturally, other than comprehending other cultivation systems, he did not slack off in his studying of the more important "Walker's Hidden Secret". This was also the reason why he had hidden in the Eden World to cultivate. The "Walker's Hidden Secret" would require him to control the Primal Chaos Void Energy every single time he cultivated it. The moment he was discovered, it would be troublesome! Just by comparing the degree of strength, the "Walker's Hidden Secret" was far beyond other cultivation systems. After all, it was tough to even find an inheritor who could succeed in cultivating it within an entire cosmos.
...
Time passed.
Because the time flow here was over 3,000 times faster than his hometown, less than 10,000 years had passed in his hometown cosmos, yet more than 30 million years had elapsed here in the Devil Mountain Cosmos.
"Very good."
"This is too awesome."
Deep under the surface of the planet Xue Ying was currently inhabiting and cultivating on, the Third Highness 'Jiao Yun Liu' gazed at that black plant with great fervor. The three fruits on the black plant had turned deep black. On the surface, they looked ordinary and did not have any particularly noteworthy characteristics. Suddenly, the leaves of this black plant began to wither.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Your Highness. It seems that the Black Devil Holy Fruits are turning ripe soon. Your Highness will certainly be able to step into the Ruler realm." There were a total of four protectors by his side. All were ecstatic at this moment.
"Hahaha... the moment I become a Ruler, things will be completely different." Jiao Yun Liu could hardly conceal the smile on his face and extended his hand. The arrays that were protecting the black plant gradually dissipated. As the leaves continued withering, he positioned his hands below the fruits. "Pa pa pa." The three fruits finally fell from the tree and landed in his hands.
Third Highness Jiao Yun Liu revealed a happy expression. He retrieved a golden bottle and placed the three black fruits within.
"I've obtained it."
Third Highness Jiao Yun Liu held onto the golden bottle. His eyes were flashing brightly.
After so many years of living in seclusion and protecting this plant, he had truly given up too much for the sake of these Black Devil Sacred Fruits. And now, he had finally obtained the ripe fruits.
"It is time for me to metamorphose!' Jiao Yun Liu thought silently. He then turned around and headed out. "Let's go."
He could no longer wait.
He had to begin his cultivation post-haste.
