Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 296 The Legacy of a Venerable One!

Jiang Heng found it hard to believe that after working so hard for so long, he had only scratched the surface of the Law of Destruction.

But precisely because of this, Jiang Heng could also sense that the power of the Law of Destruction far exceeded his imagination.

It is clear that although Jiang Heng has already entered the realm of Immortal Emperor, the road ahead for him to continue climbing is still very long.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely work harder and will not let you down!" Jiang Heng said confidently, his expression turning serious.

Jiang Heng has never lacked confidence. This invincible spirit is forged from his humble beginnings and his gradual rise to where he is today.

Looking back, even when facing powerful demons, lofty saints, and the almost invincible Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Heng never gave up.

Even in the eyes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it was incredible that Jiang Heng had reached this point, an unrepeatable miracle.

Although Jiang Heng seems to be on a completely different level from Chi Yuan, the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, the gap is not insurmountable.

Given enough time, Jiang Heng is confident that he can reach, or even surpass, the heights that Chi Yuan once reached.

If Jiang Heng doesn't even have this much confidence, he shouldn't bother cultivating anymore. He should just stay in the prehistoric world and live a peaceful life.

"Now that you have comprehended ten thousand Heavenly Steles, you are qualified to become my personal disciple and inherit everything I once had."

But there is one thing I must tell you: if you choose to become my personal disciple, you will not only inherit my lineage.

You will inherit the karma that binds me. The reason I perished back then was due to a meticulously planned conspiracy.

Through Chi Yuan's narration, Jiang Heng gradually learned about Chi Yuan's legendary life and how a supreme expert had fallen.

Even among the myriad worlds, the Xuanhuang Venerable Chi Yuan is a top-tier expert, and he is renowned in the Supreme World.

According to Chi Yuan, the so-called supreme world is actually the first world born in the chaotic universe, the origin of all worlds.

The Supreme World has existed for countless ages, and countless powerful beings have been born within it. In fact, there are quite a few powerful beings like Venerable Xuanhuang.

Even in the Supreme World, there are beings even more ancient and powerful than the Xuanhuang Venerable.

However, according to Chi Yuan, there are actually not many such powerful individuals, and without exception, they have all existed for a very long time.

Generally speaking, such ancient beings do not easily manifest themselves in the world, and many people are unaware of their existence.

Therefore, although the Xuanhuang Venerable is not the strongest among the myriad worlds, he is still powerful enough to roam freely and will not easily perish.

But this is just the normal situation. The abnormal situation is when Chi Yuan is ambushed by someone, and by the person he trusts the most.

The plot is a bit melodramatic, with the protagonist being betrayed by his beloved woman and his brother—a scenario Jiang Heng had seen plenty of in his previous life.

Who would have thought that even a powerful figure like Chi Yuan couldn't escape this fate, and such a melodramatic plot could still continue to unfold.

According to Venerable Xuanhuang, he had indeed perished, and was dead beyond any doubt. In the end, he only managed to send the body out of Xuanhuang Dao Palace with all his might.

The Xuanhuang Dao Palace contains methods left behind by Chi Yuan, which can ensure that Chi Yuan can find a suitable successor.

What Jiang Heng is seeing now appears to be Chi Yuan, but it is actually just a fragment of Chi Yuan's memory, which can only exist within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

According to Chi Yuan, becoming his disciple was nothing special; it was merely a way to establish a good relationship.

Becoming a formal disciple isn't a big deal; all you need to do is help him deliver something to a designated location to sever the karmic ties between you.

Therefore, the distinction between nominal and formal disciples is actually not important to Chi Yuan at all; it's simply that Chi Yuan doesn't want his skills to be lost.

However, becoming Chi Yuan's personal disciple is different; one will inherit everything from Chi Yuan, including all the causes and effects of Chi Yuan's past.

According to Chi Yuan, although he was killed by a conspiracy, his brother was actually no weaker than him.

Those who reach that level of strength usually have a mysterious sense of things, including cause and effect.

Jiang Heng became Chi Yuan's personal disciple, inheriting everything from Chi Yuan, which meant he had formed a deep karmic connection with a powerful figure.

Even if Chi Yuan has left behind a way to cover up the cause and effect, it can only deceive people for a while, not forever.

Moreover, as Jiang Heng's strength continues to increase, this connection will become increasingly difficult to conceal.

One day, the powerful figure who caused Chi Yuan's downfall will appear before Jiang Heng through some unseen cause and effect.

Moreover, according to Chi Yuan's judgment, the other party would definitely not wait until Jiang Heng had grown up before appearing in front of Jiang Heng.

Unless Jiang Heng can break through realms one after another in a very short period of time, it is impossible for his opponent to have time to react.

But this is almost impossible; the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through. Even if one were to break through, it would inevitably take a very long time.

"So, after knowing all this, are you still willing to become my personal disciple?" Chi Yuan looked at Jiang Heng and said expressionlessly.

Knowing that they would be facing the threat of an unparalleled expert at any moment, few people would be able to remain calm.

Regardless of Jiang Heng's choice, Chi Yuan wouldn't be surprised, but he still had high expectations for Jiang Heng.

Chi Yuan had encountered geniuses with even greater talent than Jiang Heng before, and those geniuses would take less time to comprehend ten thousand Heavenly Steles than Jiang Heng.

But Chi Yuan had never seen anyone like Jiang Heng, whose speed of comprehending the Tongtian Stele was getting faster and faster, and whose time was getting shorter and shorter.

In Jiang Heng, Chi Yuan vaguely saw infinite possibilities. Moreover, Jiang Heng's personality was actually quite to Chi Yuan's liking.

"If it's just a threat from a peerless expert, what do I have to fear!" Jiang Heng said confidently.

Jiang Heng never flinched when facing the demon race. He did not back down when facing the sages. Even when facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Jiang Heng still rose to the challenge.

It's just a threat from a powerful figure; what is there for Jiang Heng to fear? Besides, it's really uncertain who will cause trouble for whom in the end.

"Good! Good! Good! I am really pleased that you have such confidence. You don't need to worry so much. I am prepared for some things."

"As long as you don't show yourself, you should be safe for the next Dao Era!" Chi Yuan said.

The time of a "one-era" refers to the time of the evolution of a universe, which, according to the time of the primordial world, is roughly equivalent to billions of years.

Jiang Heng had only cultivated in the primordial world for a few million years since he transmigrated here; billions of years is undoubtedly an extremely long time.

Of course, for Chi Yuan, a century is not a very long time, barely enough for Jiang Heng to grow.

Chi Yuan was known as the Xuanhuang Venerable during his lifetime. In the Supreme World, he was actually a powerful Venerable.

Jiang Heng's current Immortal Emperor realm is still a long way from the Venerable realm. It will be difficult for Jiang Heng to overcome this huge gap in billions of years.

"Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely avenge you in the future!" Jiang Heng said firmly.

Now that he has decided to become Chi Yuan's disciple, Jiang Heng will naturally inherit Chi Yuan's past karma.

In the future, even if the powerful figure who caused Chi Yuan's downfall doesn't come looking for Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng will take the initiative to find that powerful figure.

"The past is gone. If you have the ability, you may help me avenge myself, but I still hope to inherit my lineage!" Chi Yuan said with a sigh.

There were some things he didn't say explicitly. In his view, whether Jiang Heng could reach the Venerable Realm was still uncertain.

In this vast world, there are countless brilliant geniuses, but very few can truly reach the Venerable Realm.

Unless Jiang Heng can truly and completely control the Law of Destruction, there is no hope of breaking through to the Venerable Realm.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely not act rashly!" Jiang Heng said.

"Good! From this day forward, you are my personal disciple, and everything in the Xuanhuang Dao Palace will be inherited by you!" Chi Yuan said with satisfaction.

The Xuanhuang Dao Palace is Chi Yuan's most important magical treasure. It not only contains Chi Yuan's lifelong collection, but is also a supreme treasure in itself.

How much wealth does a Venerable One possess in his lifetime? It is no exaggeration to say that even if the entire Primordial World were sold, it wouldn't be worth a fraction of his wealth.

After becoming Chi Yuan's personal disciple, Jiang Heng was already the master of the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, and Chi Yuan's wealth naturally belonged to Jiang Heng.

Moreover, Chi Yuan's unique skills will be inherited by Jiang Heng. These skills represent the lifelong learning of a Venerable One, and their value even surpasses that of wealth.

Besides Chi Yuan's signature technique, the "Mysterious Yellow Sword Manual," all of Chi Yuan's knowledge has been compiled into a single scripture, the "Mysterious Yellow Primordial True Scripture."

After explaining everything, a relieved smile appeared on Chi Yuan's face, as if he had completed his mission.

Jiang Heng could sense that Chi Yuan's figure was gradually fading, and he feared that it would disappear completely soon.

The current Chi Yuan is merely a fragment of memory, existing only to leave behind a legacy. Now that Jiang Heng has become its successor, there is naturally no need for Chi Yuan to continue existing.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Jiang Heng said earnestly.

Although he hadn't known Chi Yuan for long, Chi Yuan was, after all, his teacher, and had given everything he had to Jiang Heng.

The bond between master and disciple is stronger than anything else. Although Chi Yuan had long since passed away, Jiang Heng still couldn't help but feel a little sad at this moment.

"There is no need for that. Your teacher has already passed away. Now it is just a matter of time before I completely return to Nirvana."

"Oh, right! There's something I almost forgot to tell you. Do you know why I came to this world?" Chi Yuan said.

Jiang Heng's heart skipped a beat. If Chi Yuan hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed this point. It was indeed a problem.

The Xuanhuang Dao Palace exists so that Chi Yuan can select disciples. Logically speaking, the higher the level of a world, the greater the chance of producing geniuses.

The world where the primordial world is located is just one of countless worlds, not only insignificant but also of a low level.

Even if they wanted to avoid the powerful figure who killed Chi Yuan, the Xuanhuang Dao Palace would not actually descend upon this world of the Primordial Era.

"Could there be some other reason behind this?" Jiang Heng asked, his expression hardening.

"It's quite a coincidence that the world you live in is connected to a forbidden area in the Supreme World."

It was a peculiar place where everything returned to nothingness, and contained immeasurable power; it was definitely not an ordinary place.

By the time I became aware of that power, it was already too late.

According to Chi Yuan, he had sent the Xuanhuang Dao Palace into a forbidden area of ​​the Supreme World in order to avoid a certain powerful figure.

That forbidden area was renowned even in the highest world, and even when Chi Yuan was at his peak, he dared not venture there lightly.

Within that forbidden land, Chi Yuan discovered a strange place where all things returned to nothingness, possessing an unimaginable power.

Within that power, Chi Yuan was completely unable to control the Xuanhuang Dao Palace and could only drift continuously in that strange void.

After a long period of time, Chi Yuan and Xuanhuang Dao Palace unexpectedly arrived at the world where Jiang Heng was.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng was slightly startled. He had seen the void that Chi Yuan had mentioned before.

If what Chi Yuan said is true, that void is actually connected to the Supreme World, then wouldn't that mean that Dao Ancestor Hongjun came from the Supreme World?

"What exactly is that ethereal power?" Jiang Heng asked curiously.

"I'm not entirely sure either. After all, I've already perished, and what remains is just a fragment of memory. It's difficult to sense the true nature of that strange power."

"But in my opinion, that strange power is not simple. I'm afraid even I, your teacher, would have difficulty finding the core of that strange power in my lifetime!" Chi Yuan said.

"If we pass through this void, wouldn't we be able to enter the Supreme World?" Jiang Heng asked.

The Supreme World is the origin of countless worlds, containing not only numerous powerful beings but also the most fundamental laws of the universe.

As long as one desires to reach the supreme realm, the strongest beings in countless worlds will eventually enter the highest world to seek an opportunity for breakthrough.

"In theory, that is true. Although the power of nothingness can turn everything into nothingness, it is not difficult to resist if one is prepared."

By the way! Before you, in your world, there was also a being who came to the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, but he failed the test.

"It is fate that we met. At that being's request, I sent him into the Void. Whether he can enter the Supreme World depends on his destiny!" Chi Yuan said.

"Someone actually arrived at the Xuanhuang Dao Palace ahead of time? I wonder who that being is?" Jiang Heng asked curiously.

"That was a primordial god-demon born in your world, named Yangmei!" Chi Yuan said.

Yang Mei? Jiang Heng never expected that Yang Mei would have the opportunity to enter the Xuanhuang Dao Palace ahead of time, but unfortunately he failed the test.

Just then, Chi Yuan smiled slightly at Jiang Heng, and his figure had completely disappeared from the Xuanhuang Dao Palace.

Jiang Heng bowed respectfully. As Chi Yuan's figure completely disappeared, a Venerable-level expert had vanished without a trace in this world.
