Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 278 Then I can only hope that Huyanbo has no future!

The original place, Huyanbo's cave.

The cave was quiet and still, with the power of Hunyuan spontaneously swirling around it. Huyan Bo sat cross-legged, his aura returning to stillness.

He had been busy reorganizing the Origin Continent and settling his powerful subordinates, and had not yet had time to concentrate all his will to observe the core of the pre-received panel in his mind.

At this moment, Hu Yanbo took a deep breath, his mind completely immersed in his sea of ​​consciousness, and focused all his will on the pre-support panel floating in the center of his sea of ​​consciousness.

After becoming a world-class Chaos Origin Lifeform, his divine power had already transformed into pure Chaos Origin Power, and even his original late-stage God Emperor's mental will had directly leaped to the level of a world-class Chaos Origin Lifeform.

Therefore, in that instant, the fundamental path of cause and effect at the core of the panel—which was originally a mysterious vein condensed into the shape of an infant—began to change and grow rapidly under the reflection of the spiritual will of a world-class primordial being.

The mysterious meridians that were originally curled up like an infant slowly unfolded, and countless causal patterns grew from the core of the meridians, intertwining and constantly changing, constantly being comprehended by him.

"Too fast, too fast!" Hu Yanbo was shocked. His own Dao of Cause and Effect had entered the early stage of God Emperor in a short time.

Moreover, the improvement has not stopped; the mysterious vein resembling an infant is still constantly unfolding and transforming.

Hu Yanbo suddenly recalled that when he was honing his Dao of Fruition in its early stages, his mind and will were constantly being suppressed. He started from the edge and slowly observed and studied until he reached the tomb. It took him hundreds of years to barely touch the gateway to the Great Dao.

Now, with just one observation of the world-class Hunyuan will, a leapfrog breakthrough has been achieved.

"As expected, the decision to first refine the Origin World and become its master was correct," Hu Yanbo thought to himself.

Perhaps compared to becoming a lord by breaking through the laws of brute force, becoming a lord by refining the source world and then slowly cultivating is more ordinary and less remarkable.

However, in Hu Yanbo's view, this path is far less secure than refining the source world.

To reach the level of breaking through the law with force, Hu Yanbo needs to rely on the mental will of the panel multiple times in order to pry forward the path of cause and effect.

Choosing to become the master of the source world, and holding the answer to the Great Dao in the pre-funded panel, one only needs to digest the Great Dao by following the answer to steadily advance.

It not only saves the need to repay countless advance payments, but also allows the transformation of the Great Dao to proceed without hindrance by leveraging the identity of the Lord of the Source World, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

As Hu Yanbo pondered, his mind once again focused on capturing the ever-advancing trajectory of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

His consciousness followed every change in the meridians. Originally, he was oblivious to the powerful mental pressure brought by the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. He only clearly saw the Great Dao of Cause and Effect moving forward step by step, and he was thoroughly understanding and transforming every mystery.

Sure enough, in less than a day, Hu Yanbo's Dao of Cause and Effect advanced another step, directly entering the mid-stage of the God Emperor realm.

This is the benefit of knowing the answer while having a strong mental will.

The answer is not a reference point.

Like Luo Feng, referencing the ancestral scales within the Star Tower that contain the profound and mysterious patterns of birth and death.

The combination of birth and death is extremely profound and is part of the existence of a Primordial Ancestor, but Luo Feng dared not copy it.

He could only repeatedly dissect the birth and death patterns on the scales, ponder the trajectory of each pattern, and then combine it with his own path to integrate new understanding. He carefully deduced the patterns, barely managing to scratch the surface, for fear of copying the wrong trajectory and ruining his own path.

Hu Yanbo, on the other hand, simply copied the answers from the pre-drawn panel. He didn't need to repeatedly try and fail, nor did he need to worry about going astray. The path of the Great Way naturally aligned with him.

Of course, besides the fact that the answer was accurate enough, only such a strong will could digest such a vast and profound Dao in such a short time.

Looking at the original infant's mysterious rune now, it has completely shed its childish and curled-up posture. Its body is stretched out, its eyebrows and eyes are beginning to appear, and it has transformed into the outline of a young man. Faint fruition runes surround its body, and as they flow, they reveal the solidity of the newly formed Great Dao.

Hu Yanbo stared intently, and the boy's silhouette became clearer in his mind and eyes, even faintly revealing a sense of familiarity.

A slight stirring ran through him, but he couldn't recall where he had seen such an aura before.

"Could it be me?"

"Right now, there's only an outline, no concrete form, but this great path of cause and effect is constantly evolving. Could it be that in the end, it will resemble me?"

A hint of mockery rose in Hu Yanbo's heart.

The idea that the ultimate form of a great path is perfectly aligned with the cultivator himself sounds overly narcissistic to outsiders.

But then he thought about it again and Hu Yanbo suppressed his smile.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect has been with him ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, and has long since merged with his original nature.

Even without the lords' notification, Hu Yanbo guessed that this advance payment panel might be the core of some mysterious place, or even a complete mysterious place itself.

"If this pre-requisite panel is indeed a mysterious place, I wonder what level it is." Hu Yanbo's mind stirred slightly, and his gaze pierced through the cave, looking towards the direction of the infinite primordial space.

The boundless primordial space is vast and boundless, concealing countless mysterious places of unknown origin.

Mastering even the most ordinary mysterious power can cause a drastic increase in the strength of a Lord-level or Ancestor-level being.

Among these countless mysterious places, three are the most special, being the three pillars of the endless primordial space.

These are the Abyss of Destruction, the Land of Eternity, and the Wall of Hellfire.

The walls of the fiery inferno radiate boundless energy, permeating the endless primordial space. They are the source of all primordial power, nurturing countless living beings and the resources of heaven and earth.

The Eternal Land, like a stabilizing pillar, firmly establishes the foundation of the entire endless primordial space and maintains spatial order.

The Abyss of Destruction devours anything that threatens the Chaotic Origin Space, eliminating hidden dangers.

Each of the three functions works together to maintain the eternal existence and continuous expansion of the endless primordial space.

"It is said that these three pillars have been suspended in the core of the endless primordial space since its birth. Even many ancestral beings can only glimpse them from afar, and do not even have the qualification to enter."

"Only those extraordinary progenitors are allowed to enter."

"But even after entering, we couldn't find its core!"

"If my pre-built panel can truly rival these three mysterious places, then that would be truly..."

'

The primordial energy surrounding Huyan Bo fluctuated slightly, gently pulling his wandering thoughts back.

His mind was clear; the most important thing right now was not to speculate on the final level of the panel, but to seize the time to go into seclusion and refine the path of cause and effect.

Ultimately, only those with a solid foundation in their own path can truly control the panel, even if it possesses an astonishingly powerful foundation.

Thinking of this, his mind sank, and he returned to his thoughts, gazing intently at the outline of the Dao of Cause and Effect that resembled a young man.

This vein was originally just a chaotic egg, then it broke out of the egg to become an infant, and now it has transformed into a teenager. Each change in form is accompanied by a surge in the profound and mysterious patterns of the Great Dao.

Only the infant form is the finishing touch to the outline of the light spots in the second realm of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. The changes are not significant, and the mysterious patterns on it are only slightly increased.

In addition, with each transformation, the number of secret runes increases exponentially, and their complexity also increases exponentially. The birth of each new secret rune carries a deeper truth of cause and effect.

This time, when Hu Yanbo focused his attention on the boy's outline again, a powerful sense of oppression suddenly struck him—a sense of oppression comparable to the mental will of a high-level Hunyuan peak cultivator.

"It seems that it's no longer possible to see through things at a glance and digest them instantly like before."

Hu Yanbo calmed his mind and began to spend time quietly observing as the mysterious patterns on the outline of the boy in front of him gradually took shape.

At the other end of the original land, by a lake, two figures sat quietly fishing.

Yuan lowered his eyes to look at the ripples on the lake, his fishing rod remaining motionless.

Xingmang lightly flicked the fishing line with his fingertips and spoke first: "I am now quite certain that Huyan Bo must hold the opportunity of this mysterious place in his hands."

As one of the top two strongest beings in the Hunyuan Space, Xingmang cultivates the Hunyuan Time-Space Dao and has countless clones, traveling through different future timelines.

If reality changes even slightly, those contradictory future timelines will completely collapse and be obliterated, never to come true again.

Given Hu Yanbo's special circumstances, the Star Lord created a clone specifically to travel along Hu Yanbo's future timeline, observing his potential to become the 8th Hunyuan Lord.

"Are you so sure?"

Yuan turned to look at Xingmang, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"I have observed more than 3000 million possibilities for Huyanbo, and I have not seen any possibility of him becoming a lord!" Xingmang nodded.

"Not a single one."

"You should know that for some of the world-class Chaos Origin beings under my command, there is always a glimmer of hope among many possibilities for them to break through to the level of Lord."

"But Huyanbo, no."

Given Huyan Bo's own talent and comprehension, it was completely impossible for him to become the Lord of Hunyuan.

The future of stargazing is definitely in the right direction!

"I was initially very disappointed about this!" Starlight laughed.

"But the longer time goes on, the less I see of Huyanbo's future—less of a future, and less of a possibility of him becoming a lord!"

"You should know that even among those of you who have mastered the supreme path, I can see many possibilities for your future actions at a glance. I have never seen anything so unusual before."

Even ordinary Hunyuan experts, if not as powerful as Xingmang, can glimpse the future trajectory of lower-level beings. As a top-tier being, Xingmang should be able to see through the millions of futures of all beings, and even ancestral beings cannot escape his scrutiny.

But Huyanbo is different!

"In the increasingly fewer futures I've observed, Huyanbo has neither died nor has the potential to become a lord!"

"It's simply that his future timeline is becoming increasingly fragmented!"

"So I speculate that the extraordinary opportunity he possesses is being continuously refined by him." Xingmang's smile grew even brighter.

Huyanbo's future prospects kept dwindling, and he failed to become a lord, ultimately collapsing into a single, untapped position.

This abnormality is no accident; it must be the work of the mysterious place in his possession. It is precisely because of the shielding effect of the mysterious place that the starlight is difficult to see even a fraction of it.

"I think that special, mysterious place has quite a background."

"At least it's much stronger than my time on Planet Light!"

Starlight also controls a mysterious place called Time Star, which is very good at moving and can reach any location at will, drifting freely in different timelines.

If an ordinary Chaos Origin expert were to obtain the Time Star, they would be able to traverse the Chaos Origin space with their mobility, and no one could catch up with them.

However, Xingmang himself controls the Chaotic Origin Spacetime Dao, and can freely travel through timelines and traverse the Chaotic Origin Space.

Therefore, the light star was not very useful to the starlight.

As he listened to Xingmang's description, Yuan's fishing rod swayed constantly, the float bobbing up and down several times, but his entire mind was focused on Xingmang's words.

"So, does that mean the possibility of him becoming the eighth lord..."

99

"Yes!" Xingmang nodded emphatically.

"If he manages to master such a special and mysterious place, even if he fails to comprehend the supreme Dao in the end, as long as he completely refines this mysterious place, his strength will be comparable to those ancestors who mastered mysterious places."

Even if an ordinary progenitor controls a common mysterious place, he can occupy a place in the Hunyuan Space and his strength far exceeds that of others of the same level.

The mysterious land in Huyanbo's possession is even more powerful than his Time Star. Once refined, its combat power will be enough to play a key role in their battle against the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan.

"Great, fantastic!" Yuan finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. As his laughter subsided, Yuan spoke again: "Then how long will it take him to complete the refinement of this mysterious place?"

Xingmang shook his head, lightly tapping the fishing rod with his fingertips, and looked in the direction of Huyanbo's cave: "I'm not quite sure."

He paused, then added, "However, I am certain that the day I can no longer observe his future timeline will be the day he completely refines that mysterious place."

"Then I can only hope that Huyanbo has no future soon!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan smiled.

He then turned his gaze back to the lake, but this time, his expression held a hint of anticipation, and his fishing rod moved with a more composed air.

In the blink of an eye, about a century has passed since Huyanbo became the master of the Origin World.

On this day, in the highest heaven within the Heavenly Sect of the Origin Continent.

The rosy clouds spread and the divine light rose. Countless primordial Daos materialized here, some as intertwined golden patterns, some as solidified divine forms of the Dao, and some as ever-flowing phenomena, suspended between heaven and earth. Their aura was heavy yet peaceful. There was no need for deliberate deduction; one could simply concentrate and observe to capture the true essence of the Dao.

A young man dressed in coarse cloth, with clear eyes and bright brows, clutched the hem of his clothes, his steps hesitant, cautiously surveying this world. He was Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's fingertips turned slightly white, his breathing was extremely light, and his eyes were full of unease and awe. He didn't even dare to raise his head too high.

"Senior, do you think the great Celestial Sect Master will accept me as a disciple?"

Lin Yan looked at the Empress of Fengdu beside him, his heart filled with unease. He was originally an ordinary cultivator on the edge of the Origin Continent, just a nobody little True God.

To be able to step into the highest heaven of the Heavenly Sect and be summoned to be accepted as a disciple by the sect leader is like an unreal dream.

Beside Lin Yan, the Empress of Fengdu, her robes fluttering, looked at him and chuckled, "You silly child, what is there to doubt?"

"Throughout the entire Origin Continent, who dares to falsely convey the decree of the great Celestial Sect Master!"

"Furthermore, no one dares to bring anyone into this supreme heaven without authorization—every ray of divine light and every secret pattern here is shrouded in the sect master's will, and ordinary experts don't even have the qualifications to approach it."

Ordinary cultivators would spend their entire lives trying to get even half a step closer to the Supreme Heaven, let alone be personally summoned by the Lord of the Origin World and offered a disciple. Even those exceptionally talented new generation Chaos Realm experts could only train on the Origin Continent and could not even touch the threshold of the Supreme Heaven.

In fact, it wasn't just Lin Yan who was curious; the Empress of Fengdu was also curious.

Junior Brother Hu Yanbo is now the Lord of the Origin World. He has extremely high standards and has countless powerful figures under his command. Even God Emperors are hard to catch his eye. How could he possibly take a fancy to Lin Yan, a young man who is a true god?

They even went so far as to send people across millions of miles to find this child from the fringes of the country, which suggests they've been watching this child for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan slowly raised his head, his gaze once again falling upon the Dao runes in the sky. The hesitation in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of hope and disbelief.

He could clearly feel that there was no pressure on his mind and will when he cultivated here. Every ray of divine light was nourishing his origin. This kind of sacred place for cultivation was a place he never dared to imagine before.

"Let's go see your teacher!"

Empress Fengdu chuckled and led Lin Yan toward the depths of the Supreme Heaven.
