Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 405 Disciple
This calamistic region is called the Great Thousand World by the beings here.

Within this vast world, there are numerous planets suitable for life to inhabit.

Beyond the void, stars generally orbit worlds, each of which is enormous.

In this vast world, planets suitable for life are generally those that revolve around stars, much like the universe in Yi Dong's previous life.

The warship charged straight toward a massive star; the 600 billion degree Celsius temperature did not affect its speed in the slightest.

This massive warship was rapidly constructed by the Great Awakening Puppet after Yi Dong fell into this calamity.

At Zijin Mountain, Yi Dong summoned all the Great Awakening Puppets. However, the teleportation was too sudden, and only 1,260 Great Awakening Puppets came with him.

The pagoda also followed.

Using the Pagoda to travel through the void is faster and safer.

However, the Karma Puppet did not allow the Great Awakening Puppet to stay inside for a long time, clearly not wanting the Great Awakening Puppet to understand the Floating Pagoda.

Previously, Yi Dong had the Great Awakening Puppet research the Floating Pagoda, and was able to manufacture a Floating Pagoda that was slightly inferior but comparable to the most powerful Primordial Series warships of Purple Gold Mountain.

Unfortunately, those pagodas were too expensive to build compared to the primordial warships, so they were never constructed.

Later, the Karma Puppet made some kind of modification and stopped the Great Awakening Puppet from researching the Floating Pagoda.

The Floating Pagoda, which had been modified by the Karma Puppet over the years, possessed a power that constantly distorted people's hearts, and Yi Dong did not like to stay in it.

Previously, Yi Dong felt that the Pagoda was safe, but now, with the Causal Puppets becoming more powerful, he feels that these puppets and the Pagoda are too evil, and he no longer likes to be with them.

At this moment, the pagoda also shrank slightly inside the warship.

The warship broke through layers of flames and crashed into the earth, instantly transforming and reassembling into a huge, steel-textured city.

Numerous pipes were inserted into the star's interior from the city to extract energy, and the city's manufacturing plants began to operate, producing a large number of puppets.

Even while traversing the starry sky, the Great Awakening Puppet did not stop creating various psionic structures.

Soon, three months passed, and the star's flames had mostly died down, with most of the planet's energy being drained away by the steel behemoths.

Over the course of time, Yi Dong also learned about the nature of this calamity.

In general, what is an intangible concept in the outside world may have a physical form here.

Such as time.

Time within this calamity can actually form a Time Gem, condensing intangible time into a gem-like form.

Using gemstones can potentially allow one day to experience a year or even ten years. This is the most common type of time gemstone. Some are even said to be able to travel between the past and the future, but Yi Dong doesn't know if it's true or not.

Of course, Yi Dong doesn't need this ability to accelerate time.

He had no enemies he needed to kill immediately, nor did he need to quickly increase his strength, so accelerating his cultivation was meaningless to him.

It's not just conceptual things like time; even the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can be formed into physical objects. I've heard of things like the spiritual roots of the Great Dao.

These treasures produced by calamities can only be condensed in the presence of native cosmic beings.

In the starry sky, not only do powerful humans and demons preach or teach, allowing celestial beings to collect all kinds of rare treasures and then pocket them.

There are many spaces in the starry sky where extraordinary treasures are being formed, spaces that are inaccessible to beings from the outside world.

The powerful figures of each race usually send their disciples to compete for it.

The appearance of valuable rare treasures usually marks the beginning of a major war.

Long ago, within the calamity, various races fought each other, and many stars in the starry sky were shattered.

Later, the human and demon races formed an alliance. On the surface, they were mortal enemies, but in secret, they made a pact to continuously eliminate their apparent allies. They slowly wiped out most of the other intelligent races' powerful members within the calamity, allowing the human and demon races to gradually dominate the core area of ​​this great world.

Now that the human and demon races have finished fighting their teammates, they'll probably start fighting each other.

Of course, Yi Dong didn't know when the human race and the demon race had fallen out, because in the past three months, the strongest human and demon race members he encountered in the starry sky were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't find any more valuable information.

"This starry sky is strange. Even Nascent Soul cultivators can travel through space at will. It must be because of those so-called rare treasures."

Yi Dong began to ponder how to find the rare treasure he needed and condense his own unique human destiny.

That's right, what Yi Dong thought of was to steal it, as it was the simplest method.

In fact, competition is everywhere in the starry sky.

Of course, we know from the Soul Search that at normal times, it is impossible to snatch the rare treasure. It seems that only at special times, when some kind of divine war is initiated, is it possible for the rare treasure to "drop".

However, Yi Dong wouldn't believe such a thing could happen unless he tried it once.

The latest power seems to be a stronghold planet called Qingyun Sect. Yes, that's it.

Yi Dong didn't care whether the target was a human or a demon, nor did he care how powerful the force was.

According to the principle of proximity, let's just say the Qingyun Sect is unlucky.

Next, Yi Dong operated the magic instrument, outputting a series of commands.

Before long, the pagoda took off from the city and then traversed into space.

"How can it be a causal puppet?"

Yi Dong was somewhat surprised, as he had originally intended for the Great Awakening Puppet to lead the fleet.

Many of the Great Awakening Puppets are also about to break through to the Bodhisattva realm. They are not weak in themselves, and if they lead the fleet, their combat power will be even stronger. There is no reason why they cannot take down a life-bearing planet.

It's certain that the Qingyun Sect's stronghold planet has been captured, but the difference between the Karma Puppet and the Great Awakening Puppet is that the Great Awakening Puppet will not engage in unnecessary killing and will return once it completes its mission.

As for the causal puppets, their advancement is related to killing. If they go out, not only will the Qingyun Sect be wiped out, but all living beings on that star will probably be exterminated.

Yi Dong didn't want to kill indiscriminately unless necessary, after all, he was also human, and killing too many people was never a good thing.

However, things had already come to this point, and there was nothing he could do. Now that things weren't directly related to his own interests, he didn't want to concern himself too much with the Karma Puppet. After all, the Lotus Puppet had run away first, and he was afraid that if he controlled it too strictly, the Karma Puppet might run away at this critical moment, which would be disastrous.

Sky Blue Star, Crimson Bright Kingdom, Wutong City No. 8 High School.

In this era of divine manifestation, ascending to immortality and becoming a god are the most popular topics among the human race of Tianlan Star.

Class 5 of Senior Three is preparing for tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony.

The so-called ritual is to sign a covenant with God, and then one can become a disciple, fight for God, and ascend to God step by step.

As for ascending to immortality, it's almost the same as ascending to godhood.

On the podium, a middle-aged man wearing glasses looked down at a boy whose face appeared more mature than the students around him.
"Zhou Zun, you've already repeated a grade twice. You can't repeat it again this time."

This time, our school has been allocated passages for six True Gods and three True Immortal Disciples. Shouldn't you perform the class-change ceremony now?

The homeroom teacher looked at Zhou Zun with some helplessness, really wondering what the other party was thinking, actually giving up on the transfer twice in a row.

Of course, if it were an ordinary student, the school would have expelled him long ago.

However, Zhou Zun possessed a superior spiritual root, a talent that only appeared once every ten years at the Eighth High School, which is why the school was lenient towards him.

In the starry sky, there are immortals and gods. Immortals are divided into True Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Human Immortals, while gods are divided into True Gods, Heavenly Gods, and Human Gods. In reality, these are the titles given to cultivators who have accumulated the human destiny after reaching the three levels of cultivation: True Immortal of the Dao, Returning to Emptiness, and Transforming into God.

In the celestial realm, those born into great sects are generally called gods, while those from celestial sects are called immortals.

Gods and immortals are essentially the same; it's just that using the name of a god makes it easier to spread religion.

After listening to the teacher's words, Zhou Zun remained silent.

The spiritual energy of life-bearing planets on Tianlan Star, along with those in the surrounding star systems, is not particularly abundant.

There won't be many slots available for disciples at the True God or True Immortal level to change jobs.

There are quite a few disciple slots available for those below the True Immortal level.

Becoming a disciple of an Earth Immortal or Human Immortal from a great sect or powerful immortal clan would be quite good.

Unfortunately, most of the immortals and gods in this star system are independent cultivators or come from small sects.

Just like on the planet Tianlan, there are native immortals and gods who recruit disciples.

However, these earth-rooted immortals and gods, not to mention having few resources, even cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities are extremely rare.

If one becomes a disciple of such a deity, and then enters the battlefield of deities, one might be overpowered by the disciples of those powerful deities.

Moreover, if the gods and immortals they worship are not strong, they may perish in a war of gods within a few hundred or a few thousand years.

The gods and immortals of faith died in the war of gods, and the disciples could only rely on the insignificant spiritual energy on the planet to slowly cultivate, and then die without hope of advancing.

Therefore, for those with lofty ambitions, choosing a deity is of great importance.

Of course, if you only want to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator and live for another three to five hundred years, the choice is not so important, since divine wars usually last for thousands of years.

Zhou Zun was a man with lofty ambitions.

"Could you show me the list of gods and immortals?"

Zhou Zun glanced at it, and soon, a title appeared in his eyes—"Lord of the Abyss"!
"The wait is finally here."

At this moment, Zhou Zun was slightly excited.

He came from the future.

In the starry sky, there exists an exceptionally rare time gem, and some special time gems can even travel back to the past.

Zhou Zun used a special reincarnation gem to return to the past. Unfortunately, the time gem he used was not high enough, so he could not bring back his cultivation level, only his memories.

In the future, Zhou Zun will also become a deity or immortal.

And then, there was no way forward.

In the starry sky, there are two paths to becoming a true immortal. One is the path of destiny immortal, which is to merge with the Dao through the way of destiny and become a true immortal in the human realm.

Another type is the normal True Immortal who is in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve either the Human Path True Immortal or the Dao-Merging True Immortal.

Relatively speaking, becoming a True Immortal of the Human Path is easier, while becoming a True Immortal of the Dao Integration Path is virtually impossible without the inheritance of the Heavenly Book.

The transmission of celestial books is extremely rare in the starry sky; even major immortal sects rarely release their celestial book transmissions.

Zhou Zun only knew one secret.

In his previous life, when this Abyss Ruler first descended upon the starry sky, he released a great many heavenly books and inheritances.

Then, it became the target of covetousness of countless immortals and gods, and was besieged for thousands of years.

However, even when Zhou Zun was reincarnated, the Abyss Ruler was still active in the central region of the starry sky.

In his previous life, Zhou Zun was not a disciple of the Abyss Ruler and did not know how the other party survived the repeated sieges. He only knew that this Abyss Ruler could not be defeated by either the siege of immortals and gods or the war of gods.

There are many true immortals and gods who can live a long time, but not many will grant their disciples the right to exchange Heavenly Books.

Zhou Zun's first step in this life was to obtain the Heavenly Book.

Moreover, although the Abyss Ruler was always a Human Immortal and didn't have a high reputation at first, his disciples were quite powerful.

Of course, becoming a disciple of the Abyss Overlord is not all good things. The Abyss Overlord's disciple attrition rate is notoriously high, a fact well-known throughout the starry sky.

In the presence of other immortals and gods, disciples with superior or top-grade spiritual roots generally receive some preferential treatment, but the Abyss Ruler treats everyone equally.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind. I'll prepare for my job change tomorrow."
