Chapter 401 The Method of Ascension to Heaven, Ye Yang Presents His Treasure

The methods of cultivation do indeed have an astonishing effect on improving one's comprehension.

After Ye Yang began to calmly comprehend the remaining parts of the Ten Fundamental Laws, he felt that the progress was incredibly rapid!

As the master of the universe, Ye Yang's divine body can simultaneously manifest the attributes of time and space. And time and space, as two superior laws, can also manifest the eight attributes of wind, light, thunder, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Manifesting as wind attribute, Ye Yang can more clearly perceive the fluctuations of the fundamental law of wind. When he transforms into the [Peng] form of Kunpeng, he is even more at ease, truly deserving to be called the darling of the wind law in the universe.

Even so, it generally takes at least ten thousand years to fully comprehend a lower-level law.

However, Ye Yang only took 533 years!

While the effects of the secret technique "Soul Possession" are undeniable, the astonishing attention, associative abilities, and capacity for learning, understanding, and assimilation also raise the upper limit of the efficiency of shared perception in the state of soul resonance.

Except for the final bottleneck, there were no obstacles in the process of enlightenment at other times; everything came naturally and smoothly.

The next one is the fundamental law of water.

Ye Yang summoned the spiritual servants who had achieved immortality through the laws of water, and used the secret technique of "Soul Subservience" to simultaneously mimic the form of the Kunpeng.

It took 300 years to reach near perfection, 300 years to comprehend perfection, and only 600 years to master the Law of Water.

Less than three thousand years later, lightning, light, earth, and wood were all harvested by Ye Yang.

It's as simple as eating and drinking!

Even Ye Yang's boundless bursts of inspiration resulted in the creation of various secret techniques during his comprehension of the laws.

It could be at the peak level of a cosmic overlord, or at the peak level of a cosmic master—and there was even a technique that was created as the ultimate secret method of a cosmic master.

This is an extremely terrifying illusion technique, which Ye Yang calls "Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing, Dust Staining the Heart".

The vibrant imagery of life's birth and the decaying imagery of life's death, these two opposing themes, cycle and erode the enemy's state of mind.

Willpower and beliefs become dusty, causing the soul to lose its light and be constantly worn down.

Ultimately, the soul will be worn down and destroyed in the illusion!

Although it is not as powerful as "Fire in the Heart", "Life, Death, Withering and Flourishing, Dust Staining the Heart" is special in one aspect: the laws it uses are only the four lower laws of water, fire, wood, and earth.

It's quite remarkable that the secret technique could reach the ultimate level of a universe master without using the laws of time or space or fusing with them.

"I have comprehended the Ten Fundamental Laws. Next—the path to breaking through limitations and becoming a true god! The path to condensing the void!"

Master the path to the origin!

"Ultimately, all laws converge into one, one comprehends the laws of chaos, and becomes a saint."

Above the Chaos Ruler, one continues to comprehend the fundamental Dao contained within the supreme rules, but Ye Yang is not yet that far ahead.

His current goal should be to first control the source of spacetime, and then ultimately control chaos.

"The Ouroboros —"

A small bead rolled around in Ye Yang's hand, its surface covered with countless mysterious patterns that shifted and changed.

"The 215th-order Serpent Scale Secret Pattern is a path that starts from 216 essences of time and space, integrates them, and thus analyzes the laws of time-space fusion."

"After I have thoroughly understood space and time, I take the complete laws of space and time as my guide and integrate them as a whole, which is another path."

"Clearly, starting from the essence of the laws means starting from the bottom layer, which is more in line with the understanding of the laws of spacetime in the main world, mutually verifying each other, and making the connection clear."

"From a holistic perspective, the time and spacetime principles of the two worlds become completely unrelated, forming two entirely different systems, making it difficult to learn from each other."

"So even though I've encountered difficulties in deciphering the 215th-tier Serpent Scale Secret Pattern, I still want to give it a try. For now, I'll focus on the underlying path and use the overall path as a supplement, while also comprehending the laws of spacetime in the main world."

As Ye Yang experienced the familiar yet ever-changing infinite spacetime conception, the ouroboros formed by the secret patterns became even more vivid in his eyes.

I vaguely sensed something.

"Huh?" A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he stared at the mysterious, overlapping patterns of law evolution.

This was Ye Yang's first time comprehending the Serpent Bead after mastering the third volume of "True Nature Condensation and Divine Awakening Record" and creating numerous of the strongest secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe.

Previously, perhaps due to insufficient understanding or lack of comprehension, Ye Yang had failed to notice this point.

Now he noticed the special pattern in the flow of the secret patterns on the surface of the snake-patterned bead.

Sitting quietly in meditation, engrossed in contemplation, three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

When Ye Yang came to his senses again, he showed a look of surprise: "It really worked."

"So I can skip class using the snake beads?"

Trying to comprehend the laws of spacetime fusion by analyzing the 215th-order serpent scale system will lead to a dilemma where the amount of computation becomes increasingly large until it becomes completely unacceptable.

The advantage of this path is its extremely solid foundation! One step at a time, understanding not only the "what" but also the "why," only by fully analyzing and deducing the previous level of the serpent scale rune system can one proceed to deduce the next level. Like building a pyramid, the project is massive, but its strength lies in its stable foundation.

But if you have a snake-patterned bead, things become completely different.

"This serpentine bead is like a ladder to heaven; though narrow and possibly with a break at the end," it will help me ascend!

"With only a small portion of the scale patterns deduced, it is not necessary to fully deduce them to comprehend the mysteries of the next level."

"A castle in the air is still a castle, it just requires a high level of understanding."

Ye Yang muttered to himself.

In the past three thousand years, he skipped a large amount of deduction in the middle and relied on a small part of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth order snake scale patterns that appeared in the snake pattern bead, as well as the special operation mode and profound laws of this small part of snake scale patterns.

He comprehended the profound mysteries of the 11 combination patterns of the eleventh-order secret rune system.

悟出了十二阶秘纹的12种组合玄妙、13阶秘纹、14秘纹————直至29阶蛇鳞秘纹的29种组合玄妙。

While no specific derivation was done, Ye Yang already had a clear understanding of the patterns in these combinations; all that remained was mechanical calculation.

"To comprehend the limits of one's current abilities in one go, skipping the tedious steps in between, and then to conduct detailed deductions to obtain the combat power of the corresponding realm, this is the method of 'skipping class to comprehend.'"

Ye Yang smiled with satisfaction.

This can greatly reduce the pressure of deduction.

He stopped his comprehension. Although the 29th-order secret rune system was not his current limit, continuing to comprehend it would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Now that Ye Yang has become the master of the universe, he has enough power to have a certain say in the highest levels of the human race.

So, many things can start now, and we should do them as soon as possible.

"teacher."

Ye Yang smiled as he looked at the White Foam King who had just returned from Chaos City.

Several eras have passed, and she still has not been able to advance to the level of a Universe Venerable.

Of course, a few eras is a very small improvement for an ordinary immortal.

"You called me out and said there was a surprise. What surprise is it?" Bai Mo Wang asked in confusion.

She was naturally very proud of this disciple who had far surpassed her, and at the same time, she worked even harder to become a cosmic venerable one.

So he has been cultivating diligently in Chaos City.

"Hehe, teacher, just you wait and see."

Ye Yang smiled mysteriously.

He brought Bai Mo Wang to a starry sky, and amidst the other's puzzled gaze, he immediately began to reverse time and space—

"This—" Bai Mo Wang was stunned.

"The records say that the Barbarian Mountain King stayed in this area tens of thousands of years ago, that should be correct, right?"

Ye Yang looked back at the scene, all the way to tens of thousands of epochs ago—a metal life-body spaceship appeared before the two of them, and through the metal spaceship, they could see a tall and strong minotaur sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

Bai Mo Wang was excited, and her gaze towards Ye Yang was both joyful and complicated.

She really didn't know what to say.

Ye Yang extended his divine power to protect the Barbarian Mountain King, and then brought him back to the normal time and space.

The King of Barbarian Mountain looked confused for a moment, then immediately became extremely anxious and vigilant.

He looked at Ye Yang, whose divine body possessed boundless power, and at Bai Mo Wang, whose eyes held an incredibly complex expression, yet he remained doubtful and uncertain: "An illusion?"

The Barbarian King frowned and shouted, "Damn insectoids, this illusion is far too realistic!"

"Wait a minute, didn't I self-destruct? How come I'm still alive?"

"Could it be—" The King of Barbarian Mountain's expression gradually turned very bad.

King Baimo, feeling helpless, immediately interrupted his wild thoughts, saying, "You have already perished, but have now been resurrected by reversing time."

"Don't try to fool me!" The Barbarian King was completely unconvinced, looking at the two with suspicion. "If I were resurrected, it must have been by a great being among my human race. How could this be—uh—"

He stared at Ye Yang. The terrifying aura emanating from Ye Yang's divine body had disappeared, but he could still sense its extraordinary nature.

"This illusion is so realistic, but the logic is truly absurd. How could this kid possibly become the Lord of the Universe? And even if it's set in the infinitely distant future, Bai Mo is still only a King-level Immortal, not even having broken through to the Venerable realm. Isn't that underestimating her?"

As the Barbarian Mountain King spoke, Ye Yang's expression became subtle, while the White Foam King beside him quickly turned gloomy.

Looks like someone's going to be in trouble.

Ye Yang's resurrection of the Barbarian King naturally aroused the surprise and curiosity of many powerful humans.

It's clearly not time for the clan to revive its powerful members on a large scale yet!

Therefore, many people asked the King of Manshan about it, but the King of Manshan remained tight-lipped about it, saying only that it was unspeakable.

But this couldn't be kept secret from the highest levels of humanity, or rather, Ye Yang only wanted the highest levels of humanity to know.

"Teacher, I resurrected the Barbarian King. The higher-ups of humanity no longer need to question him," Ye Yang said to the Lord of Chaos City in the virtual universe.

Although the Lord of Chaos City had suspected something, he didn't expect Ye Yang to reveal his hand so quickly. He thought for a moment, then asked, "To what extent do you plan to keep this a secret?"

He meant to ask whether they should keep it a secret from their own people as well.

The Lord of Chaos City can take responsibility for the resurrection of the Barbarian King.

"Teacher, now that I have broken through, I am not afraid of any challenge from other races. I did not announce it immediately for two reasons: firstly, because it would be shocking, and secondly, because I wanted to see how the race would react."

Ye Yang laughed and said, "Our human race must have some universe masters who have made breakthroughs but have been hiding their identities, right? If needed, I can become one of them, and I can use an avatar to play other identities when I'm out and about."

Ye Yang's meaning was clear: whether or not to make it completely public could be determined based on the group's strategic considerations, but there was no need to keep it a secret from the human group.

There's another underlying meaning here—knowing that Ye Yang is the Lord of the Universe, even if it's not made public, he shouldn't receive less treatment, right?

Ye Yang now needs to have corresponding power within the human race.

"I see."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded and smiled, "Then I will first inform the various universe lords of my human race, as well as the creator of the giant axe, of this good news—by the way, have you decided what title you want to use?"

Within the primordial universe, reaching the level of the Lord of the Universe means standing at the pinnacle of the universe and having the right to choose a title one likes, as long as it's not too outrageous.

For example, if Ye Yang were to give himself the title of "Zerg Overlord," the Zerg would probably be furious and come after him the next day.

"Let's call him Master Minghong," Ye Yang said.

Next, he will spread his teachings throughout this world, not only the immortal path of the heavens, but also the path of seeking truth and cultivating immortality.

After fully controlling the [Gate of All Heavens], the Devouring World will become the second homeland of the Immortal Alliance civilization, and the human race here will merge and integrate with the human civilization of the main world.

The first step is the exchange and collision of cultures, knowledge, and traditions.

"Teacher," Ye Yang suddenly said, "I've arrived in the Initial Universe, and I've brought something with me this time."

He laughed and said, "Maybe it will give you some inspiration, teacher."

The Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up: "Could it be an ancient civilization—"

Ye Yang nodded: "Yes, it's a higher level of inheritance."

The Chaos City Lord, who had remained calm in front of Ye Yang, now had excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

Ye Yang has grown steadily over time, and his progress has accelerated as time has progressed, which has been observed by all the Chaos City Lords.

Naturally, he was looking forward to that mysterious inheritance, but it was a disciple's opportunity, and if Ye Yang didn't take the initiative to offer it, the Lord of Chaos City wouldn't ask for it either.

Now that Ye Yang has become the Lord of the Universe and has the strength to protect his great secret, he is willing to give something back to his clan, which makes the Lord of Chaos City very happy.

Perhaps this ancient civilization's legacy can allow humanity to produce a few more cosmic masters, or even one or two of the strongest beings in the universe.

Initial Yu Shen, inside the Lord's Mansion of Chaos City.

Ye Yang took out the snake-patterned bead.

"Teacher, this treasure is like the 52 Chaos Steles in Chaos City, or even more precious! I call it the Serpent Bead."

"Afterwards, I will also leave behind a Chaos Stele based on my understanding of the Serpent Bead."

"The Path of the Beast God is an eight-path system that integrates the eight lower-level laws with time and space. This Serpent Bead elucidates a path that originates from the fundamental level of the law of spacetime fusion!"

Ye Yang said, "Now I will offer it to my clan and place it in Chaos City, while leaving an avatar to guard this pearl—"

However, I do have conditions.

He naturally wouldn't give up the Serpent Pattern Pearl for nothing. Although he was using his clone to guard it, Ye Yang could still freely comprehend the Serpent Pattern Pearl.

He planned to use the snake-patterned bead and cultivation techniques to exchange for some substantial benefits.
