Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

For the next period of time, Yang Wu continued to browse through the many classic texts in the secret realm of the Falling Cloud Sect.

The cultivation experience of countless powerful individuals, the insights of various cultivation schools, and the vast collection of secret techniques all became nourishment for Yang Wu on his cultivation path.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed.

Of course, there are simply too many books in this world of secret arts. In a mere hundred years, Yang Wu has only read a tiny fraction of them.

Even so, Yang Wu's understanding of the rules of the universe became more profound, which greatly improved his own strength.

Although he failed to create a tenth-level secret technique, his understanding of the ninth-level secret technique became even more profound.

Yang Wu's creation of a top-tier ninth-order secret technique was indeed stunning, but his other techniques were not considered the most advanced at the ninth-order level.

But now, even the ninth-tier powerhouses among the super powers on the Origin Continent, if we disregard the difference in divine power between the Lord of the Universe and the strongest in the universe, are probably no match for Yang Wu.

"The scriptures in this secret realm are so detailed and so precious!" Yang Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

Yang Wu himself had some understanding of these precious inheritances, after all, he had obtained the Duan Donghe inheritance in the simulation experience.

Even the Duan Donghe inheritance, which is considered extremely precious on the Origin Continent, immediately seems ordinary compared to the Secret Realm before Yang Wu.

However, after spending nearly a century browsing through numerous classic texts, Yang Wu temporarily put the matter aside.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the spirit of Luoyun Peak, Yang Wu witnessed many treasure lands within Luoyun Peak.

Yang Wu first arrived at a space specifically used for trial battles.

Within those small spaces, there are many different opponents; even fighting against a God-King level expert of the same realm is an easy feat.

Yang Wu also tried to fight Yun, who was at the level of the Lord of the Universe, but was completely crushed.

After all, when Yun was at the peak of his universe mastery stage, he created ten levels of secret techniques.

Tenth-order secret techniques and ninth-order secret techniques may seem very similar, but there are actually huge differences between them.

After all, a tenth-tier secret technique is already at the level of a Void True God. If the strongest being in the universe can create a tenth-tier secret technique, then he can easily break through to the level of a Void True God.

"I really don't know how Yun cultivated back then?"

Standing before the trial space, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh, "To be able to create a tenth-tier secret technique at the Universe Lord stage... could it be that he cultivated for an incredibly long time at the Universe Lord stage?"

Meanwhile, the spirit of Luoyun Peak looked at Yang Wu and comforted him, "Yang Wu, don't be too discouraged. Even on the Origin Continent, there are only a handful of people as amazing as our master!"

"Moreover, the time they spent cultivating at the level of Lord of Laws was far longer than yours. I believe that if you continue cultivating, you will definitely surpass your master's achievements. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have been able to seize control of the primordial universe and evolve it into your own miniature universe!"

"Beyond the clouds of yesteryear?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu couldn't help but smile inwardly.

He has a time simulator. Putting aside whether he can reach the Hunyuan level, surpassing Yun at the Universe Lord stage is just a matter of minutes.

The thought of the time simulator stirred something within Yang Wu.

It should be noted that although he had been asleep for tens of thousands of years, one of his avatars remained in the area within the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space where the time flow was seven thousand times faster.

Therefore, now that more than 30,000 years have passed, the number of simulations on the time simulator in Yang Wu's mind has accumulated to several hundred.

However, Yang Wu did not immediately begin the simulation. Instead, he said to the spirit of Luoyun Peak, "This junior will certainly do my best!"

Next, Yang Wu followed the spirit of Luoyun Peak to other places.

There is a place that is extremely suitable for creating secret techniques;

There are also places that specialize in cultivating weapons, various combat tools, insects and beasts, and so on.

There are also secluded rooms specifically for meditation;

……

In short, the entire Luoyun Peak is filled with all kinds of treasure lands.

What pleased Yang Wu the most was one of the time acceleration zones.

This kind of time acceleration space can be said to be a must-have for all super powers. Although time acceleration is not very useful for strong people to hone themselves, it can save a lot of time if used to create secret techniques.

The time acceleration space within Luoyun Peak is considered top-tier even on the entire Origin Continent.

Its limit is that it can even accelerate the flow of time to tens of millions of times the original flow of time.

However, maintaining such a limit must require a lot of energy.

Although Luoyun Peak stores a massive amount of energy, it also needs to constantly maintain various core areas, so the amount of energy available for the time acceleration space is probably not much.

"Spirit Master!"

Standing inside the time acceleration space, Yang Wu looked at the spirit of Luoyun Peak and asked with some anticipation, "If I use this time acceleration space, I wonder how many times I can accelerate the flow of time?"

"Time acceleration?"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak was somewhat puzzled: "You haven't encountered anything urgent right now, so why do you need such a high time flow rate?"

However, the spirit of Luoyun Peak was only asking casually. Before Yang Wu could answer, it continued, "This time acceleration space consumes a lot of energy. If it's kept open, it can maintain a time flow rate of about 100,000 times. This way, the energy I absorb can be easily sustained, and I don't need to store any extra energy!"

"If we encounter some critical moments, such as when a user breaks through from the Lord of Laws to the True God stage, and can observe the process of chaotic evolution at the beginning of the creation of a small universe, I can accelerate the flow of time by tens of millions of times, greatly improving the efficiency of the user's observation of chaotic evolution."

"Speaking of which, the chaotic evolution process within the small universe when breaking through from the Lord of Laws to the True God stage is truly incredible, and it is extremely important for the cultivation of the strong."

"Back then, one of the God-Kings in my Falling Cloud Sect sent three Saint-level beings who had fully mastered the Laws of Chaos to continuously evolve the Laws of Chaos for a Law Master junior whom he greatly admired. This continued for nearly three reincarnation eras, with the hope that the junior would have the highest possible strength at the Law Master stage."

"Three beings at the Saint level, who, as the master of the universe, have governed the laws of chaos for nearly three cycles of reincarnation?"

After hearing the introduction from the spirit of Luoyun Peak, Yang Wu was a little confused, but considering that this was Luoyun Sect, one of the most powerful forces on the Origin Continent, he felt it was normal.

"Indeed!" The spirit of Luoyun Peak nodded, then sighed and continued, "Those three Saint-level beings have been evolving the chaotic laws for nearly three cycles of reincarnation, yet they haven't been able to allow that God-King's descendant, the Law Master, to advance from the top-tier seventh rank to the eighth rank. However, that Law Master, upon breaking through to the True God realm, directly created a top-tier tenth-rank secret technique, instantly reaching the Void True God level!"

"Therefore, the chaotic evolution experienced when breaking through from the Lord of Laws to the True God stage is an extremely important opportunity on the path of the strong."

"Back when our master was at the level of Lord of Laws, he created ten levels of secret techniques. After breaking through to True God, he reached the level of Eternal True God in one fell swoop!"

"If you can truly seize control of the primordial universe and evolve it into your own miniature universe, you might be able to use this opportunity to master the laws of chaos and reach the Saint level!"

"The three Saint-level beings have evolved the laws of chaos for nearly three cycles of reincarnation, yet they are still far from being able to compare with the effect of the chaotic evolution at the time of their breakthrough?" Yang Wu was first surprised, and then overjoyed.

You should know that as long as he doesn't break through, he can continue to observe the process of chaotic evolution by using the time simulator.

Given enough time, he might even be able to master the laws of chaos at the level of a universe master.

If that's the case, will the Chaos Evolution still have an effect when one breaks through to the next level?

"These are still a long way off for you. You haven't even broken through the first level of the divine power path yet. You should just focus on your cultivation!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak looked at Yang Wu and said, "If you're going to use this time acceleration space, you'd better not exceed a time flow rate of 100,000 times! Otherwise, no matter how much energy I store, it will eventually be exhausted!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded in response.

A time flow rate of 100,000 times is now sufficient for his use.

After all, during the time simulator's mastery phase, the interval between each simulation was only 720,000 years.

This means that he could conduct a simulation every seven years or so in the original universe.

"In such a short time, even if I slowly grind it out, I'm afraid I can grind my understanding of the laws to the level of a Saint, right?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Now that many things have been settled, it's time to return to the primordial universe! With the help of numerous supreme treasures, the overall strength of our human race will surely increase significantly!"

Thinking of this, Yang Wu immediately turned to the spirit of Luoyun Peak and said again, "Senior Spirit, now that many things have been sorted out, I plan to leave one of my avatars to cultivate in this time-accelerated space, while my main body temporarily returns to the clan to handle some matters!"

"This matter isn't urgent!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak looked at Yang Wu and said with a smile, "I do have something I need your help with!"

"You need my help?" Yang Wu was quite surprised, but he quickly replied, "I wonder what kind of help Senior Spirit needs? I will certainly do my best!"

"Look!" With a wave of his hand, the spirit of Luoyun Peak displayed a scene in mid-air.

On the screen, an ancient, cyan palace is suspended in the sky above the Boundless Sea region.

Above the ancient, blue-green hall, two characters exuding an astonishing aura were inscribed.

"The Prince of Jin?" Yang Wu's expression faltered slightly upon seeing the two characters. "Could it be the Prince of Jin's Palace, Master Zuoshanke's residence?"

Just then, the spirit of Luoyun Peak waved its hand, and a majestic old man's phantom appeared beside the scene; it was none other than the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, not long after you received the inheritance, this person came to my Falling Cloud Peak!"

The spirit of Luoyun Peak looked at Yang Wu and continued, "If he were just an ordinary True God, that would be one thing, but this person is actually riding a palace treasure at the God-King level—that azure palace!"

"You should know that treasures at this level are far more valuable than the embryonic material you have. Even embryonic materials that have already been inscribed with God-King level secret techniques would probably require more than ten pieces to compare to that palace-type treasure, not to mention those embryonic materials that haven't been inscribed with secret techniques yet!"

"Therefore, this person's appearance naturally attracted my great attention."

"But after observing this person for a while, I realized that he was actually your teacher, and that he came to my Falling Cloud Peak to search for you!"

"However, you were receiving the inheritance left by your master at the time, and you absolutely could not be disturbed, so naturally I wouldn't let him discover you!"

"Master Zuoshanke!" Yang Wu was taken aback after hearing the words of the spirit of Luoyun Peak.

You should know that the Mountain-Sitting Guest usually roams the cosmic sea, but he has never used the Jinwang Palace in front of him.

But now, in order to find his whereabouts, he directly took out his own god-king level treasure.

Although Yang Wu didn't encounter any danger at all, he was deeply moved by the concern shown by the Mountain Hermit.

Along the way, Yang Wu has also studied under several teachers.

Hu Yanbo, who perished on Earth, needs no further explanation. Following him are Jin Guanghou, the Nine Swords Venerable, the Dragon Lord, and the Mountain-Sitting Guest...

Among them, Yang Wu had no original plan for becoming a disciple of Jin Guanghou, Jiujian Zunzhe, and Longxing Zhizhu; it was entirely due to a chance encounter.

Yang Wu had been planning to become the disciple of the Mountain Hermit for a long time.

It even began as early as the moment the first avatar of the Flame God was conceived.

Throughout his journey, the mountain dweller remained extremely kind to him and continuously helped him grow.

Various treasures, various opportunities...

Now that Yang Wu has lost contact, the Mountain Hermit came here tens of thousands of years ago to search for him.

How could Yang Wu not be moved by such kindness?

However, after the initial感动 (feeling of being moved), Yang Wu still had some doubts. He then looked at the spirit of the Cloud Peak artifact and asked, "Senior spirit, this is my teacher. Is there anything I can help you with?"

It couldn't be for that Prince Jin's Palace, could it?

Although God-King level treasures are very precious, they probably wouldn't be taken seriously by the spirit of Luoyun Peak, right?

Just then, the spirit of Luoyun Peak finally spoke again.

"This person was able to obtain a palace treasure at the level of a God-King, so he must have also obtained a precious inheritance from the Origin Continent!"

"Furthermore, I've never heard of that God-King level palace treasure before, so the inheritance this person received must have appeared after the master's death!"

"I would like you to bring this person here and give me a briefing on the current situation on the Origin Continent!"

"Now that so many years have passed, I wonder how many of the many powerful figures from my Falling Cloud Sect are still alive, and whether the Falling Cloud Sect's lineage has been severed?"

As he spoke, a hint of reminiscence appeared on the face of the spirit of Luoyun Peak.

"So that's how it is!" Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, it seems that even this spirit senior cannot see through the identity of Master Zuoshanke, the reincarnation of a god-king!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"Where should I lead you, Master?" Yang Wu then asked the spirit of Luoyun Peak.

With a wave of its hand, the spirit of Luo Yunfeng revealed another twisted passage before them: "Go out through this passage, and you will see your teacher. Then, guide him back into the passage!"

In fact, if the Mountain Guest had not taken the Divine King-level Treasure Palace, the spirit of Luoyun Peak could have easily used its abilities to teleport him to a fixed area.

However, the Jinwang Palace is, after all, a supreme treasure of the God-King level, with boundless power.

Even though Luoyun Peak is more powerful, it still cannot subdue such a god-king level treasure without its master's control.

"Okay!" Yang Wu nodded slightly and then stepped into the passage.

……

On the other side, in the Wuwang Sea region.

Inside the ancient and simple Jinwang Palace.

"What exactly is inside this Liuchong Mountain? It's so mysterious that even I can't see through it?" At this moment, the Mountain Guest's brows were tightly furrowed.

You must know that he was a God-King level expert who was skilled in refining treasures. Even though he had been reincarnated, his vision was still intact.

He couldn't see through this Flowing Mountain before he entered, which was fine, but now that he's already deep inside, he still feels shrouded in a thick fog.

"And Yang Wu, tens of thousands of years have passed, and there's still no news of him. Could it be that he really encountered some great danger?" The Mountain Hermit was extremely worried.

"However, now that Luo Feng has obtained the Broken East River inheritance, the other forces in the Cosmic Sea will probably not let him return to the Primal Universe so easily!"

"While that giant axe is already quite powerful, it might not be a match for the combined forces of the various powers in the cosmic sea!"

"I'll go meet Luo Feng first, and then come back to find Yang Wu after he returns to the original universe!"

Thinking of this, the Mountain Dweller immediately prepared to leave Liuchong Mountain and head to the Flame Ice Domain of the Universe Boat.

Suddenly, a very strange vortex appeared in front of the Prince of Jin's palace.

"What?"

Upon seeing the vortex appear, the Mountain-Sitting Guest was immediately alarmed, as he had not noticed it at all before.

"Is this a whirlpool passage that could appear at any time in the Boundless Sea region?" The Mountain-Sitting Guest looked at the whirlpool. "But why is it so strange?"

Just then, a figure with short black hair and wearing dark gold armor walked out of the vortex passage; it was Yang Wu.

"teacher!"

Yang Wu looked at the ancient, blue-green palace in front of him and greeted it respectfully.

Whoosh!

The moment Yang Wu appeared, the Mountain Hermit also appeared beside him.

"Yang Wu, my disciple, have you been alright all these years?" the Mountain Hermit asked with great concern.

Although Luo Feng has begun to rise in power, Zuo Shan Ke still places his hopes for revenge against the three monarchs of Shi Guo on Yang Wu. When he sees Yang Wu appear in front of him, he is naturally very happy. He no longer even pays attention to why Yang Wu was able to find him in the Jin Wang Palace.

"Master, I'm doing very well lately!" Yang Wu said respectfully. "However, the reason I was able to see you this time is because a senior wishes to meet you!"

"Senior?" The mountain dweller was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Could it be that you, Yang Wu, have also obtained a legacy from an ancient civilization?"

Otherwise, with Yang Wu's current strength, who in the Cosmic Sea could be worthy of being called a senior?

"Master, your insight is truly remarkable!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "This disciple has indeed received an extremely precious inheritance, and the spirit that guided me, upon learning that you were also here, wished to meet you!"

The operating rules of this place were not concealed, so Yang Wu naturally could not explain things too clearly to the Mountain Guest.

"A precious inheritance? A spirit of the artifact?" The mountain dweller's heart stirred slightly.

However, as a reincarnated god-king, Zuo Shan Ke naturally also harbored pride.

In his view, no matter how precious the inheritance Yang Wu obtained was, it was at most comparable to the inheritance of Duan Donghe, and it was still inferior to the inheritance of Jin State.

Not to mention the personal guidance from him, the reincarnated god-king.

Of course, due to the limitations imposed by the laws governing the operation, the Mountain-Sitting Guest was unable to fully disclose this matter to Yang Wu.

"However, given how mysterious this Liuchong Mountain is, it might actually have been left behind by a god-king level power!"

The Mountain Hermit thought to himself, "If that's the case, my disciple's path to becoming a powerful figure will likely be much smoother!"

"The only thing we need to be careful about is that this lineage must not be related to the three monarchs of the Food Kingdom!"

The three rulers of the Food Kingdom existed for a much longer period than the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so the Mountain-Sitting Guest was also worried that the inheritance Yang Wu received might be related to the Food Kingdom, and if he wanted to take revenge then, he would have a lot of trouble.

"In that case, I'll go with you, my disciple!"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest calmly said, "It's a good opportunity to see just who this so-called spirit you've been talking about really is."

Meanwhile, the mountain dweller was also secretly making plans.

"If this inheritance is harmful to my disciple, I will use the Jinwang Palace to suppress and seal that so-called artifact spirit!"

With the Prince of Jin's Palace in hand, the Mountain Guest naturally had no worries whatsoever.

After all, even a spirit at the God-King level can be suppressed by the Jinwang Palace as long as it is not driven by its master.

"Teacher, please come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wu immediately turned around and stepped into the vortex passage, while the Mountain-Sitting Guest followed with the shrunken Jinwang Palace in his hand.

……

In the vast and mysterious hall, Yang Wu and Zuo Shan Ke suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Meanwhile, the spirit of Luoyun Peak was already waiting on the side.

"Senior Artifact Spirit!" Yang Wu looked at the Artifact Spirit of Luoyun Peak, asking with his eyes whether the laws governing its operation had been blocked.

Sensing Yang Wu's gaze, the spirit of Luoyun Peak nodded slightly.

At this moment, Yang Wu turned to the guest sitting on the mountain and introduced him with a smile: "Teacher, this spirit is none other than the supreme treasure used by Senior Yun, the sect master of the Falling Cloud Sect, the Falling Cloud Peak!"

The mountain dweller's gaze fell upon the spirit of Falling Cloud Peak, various thoughts flashing through his mind: "Falling Cloud Sect? Cloud? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Suddenly, the mountain dweller paused slightly, then looked sharply at the spirit of Falling Cloud Peak and asked in utter shock, "Could it be the Falling Cloud Divine Sect where the Cloud Emperor resides?"

Several parts of the previous text have been revised.

First, regarding the matter of the laws of operation, the Cosmic Sea is only a small part of the Origin Continent, and the laws of operation here are certainly not comparable to those of the Origin Continent.

Furthermore, the level of Luoyun Peak has been changed to a super treasure below the Hunyuan Supreme Treasure;

Regarding the clone technique from the previous chapter, some readers said it was too powerful. If it were to be weakened, do you have any good suggestions?
