"Having arrived in another universe, putting everything else aside, this bountiful harvest alone is enough to satisfy me."
Cao Ya muttered to himself, but did not give up the idea of going into seclusion to cultivate himself in order to achieve immortality.
He disappeared directly, leaving the Bright Light Domain and even the Flame Dragon Domain. I was a little worried about the future situation in the Bright Light Domain!
To return to the Flame Dragon Domain, one must find the rulers of the other universe!
As the master, the Lord of the Destruction God Court, controlling the origin of all things, is naturally the best candidate. However, given his identity, he probably wouldn't be able to meet this Lord of another universe.
Like the Black Emperor, the White Emperor and the Dan Venerable, who are ranked alongside the ancient star lords, are relatively easier to meet!
"If all else fails, I'll first improve my cultivation level and strive to reach the third or fourth step of the Dao Lord level. At that time, with the superposition of various systems, my combat power should be comparable to that of the Lord of the Holy City. In other universes, that would be the level of an ordinary Star Lord!"
"At that time, when I recount my situation, I will be known as the Black Emperor, one of the three ancient star lords, and sent to another universe!"
"With strength and connections, it's entirely possible to gain an audience with the White Emperor, the Pill Venerable, or even the Lord of the Destruction Divine Court!"
Cao Ya pondered for a moment, then took away the relics of the Three Silkworm Emperors and continued his journey towards the origin of the ancient domain without lingering.
Although his path is clear, he will not follow the path of others. Even the inheritance of the Sovereign is only a reference, not the fundamental one!
Therefore, the Black Emperor's initial plan, which was for him to venture into the Land of Origin and find the Dao of the Fallen Sovereign, was destined to fail.
However, Cao Ya still decided to go to the Origin Land, mainly because of the special nature of this territory!
Only by going there can one become famous throughout the other universe and attract the attention of the star lords!
There's no way around it; the Origin Land is the core of the core of the alien universe, and the vast starry sky was conceived from here.
Basically, all the Eternal Emperors in the other universes, after attaining enlightenment, have ventured deep into the Land of Origin to seek creation and attempt advancement.
Even the greatest opportunity—to become the master of another universe—has already been obtained by the master of the Divine Court!
However, there are still many opportunities deep within the land of origin. Even the most precious treasures of the universe have been fortunate enough to have someone recognize them as their master!
The classification of treasures in the universe in the 【Desolate Era】 is not worth describing too much, given Cao Ya's cultivation level and the fact that those below the World Realm are not worth mentioning.
Those at the World Realm might use Chaos Treasures and also hope to obtain the Dao Divine Weapon forged by the Dao Lord of Life and Death!
Of course, the Dao Lords of Life and Death generally use divine weapons of the Dao, which are distinguished by their grade: low, medium, high, and top.
Cao Ya's Bright Light Divine Axe was forged by his own family and is a top-grade Dao divine weapon, which is quite precious.
Next are the Eternal Divine Weapons that only an Eternal Emperor can forge, containing the essence of the universe and extremely precious!
Some powerful Dao Lords, or those with strong backing, can also wield eternal divine weapons, causing their combat power to soar.
Finally, there are cosmic treasures, which cannot be forcibly refined; they must be recognized as masters! The requirements are very stringent!
The vast majority of cosmic treasures are crafted by supreme beings; only a small portion are nurtured by rulers through fortuitous circumstances.
Very few Dao Lords of Life and Death can wield the treasures of the universe; even Eternal Emperors can only dream of them!
Cao Ya's divine axe was forged by himself and grew with him. If it were eternal, the divine axe would naturally also be upgraded!
Because of Cao Ya's current special circumstances, there are many laws, not just the Bright Light Path, that can nurture the Divine Axe, and there is some hope that this divine weapon of the Dao can break into the level of an eternal divine weapon ahead of schedule!
"It's a pity that my Path of Bright Light is not eternal, and other laws ultimately do not belong to this world!"
Cao Ya sighed softly. He had no problem applying the various laws, after all, he had the system space to adjust them!
While this method of nurturing divine weapons may present some problems, the principles of Tao are complex, and some are of very high quality. Regardless, it will still offer some assistance.
It's much better than the single, second-step Mingguang Road!
"If my weapon-refining skills could be improved..." Cao Ya shook his head.
Alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making are all part of the myriad arts of cultivation. Even if one transcends the chaotic world, breaks through the world realm, or even becomes a Dao Lord of Life and Death or an Eternal Emperor, the value of these arts remains no less than that of other arts!
If one can reach the pinnacle, even if one is still a Dao Lord, or at most an ordinary or top-level Emperor, one can still be famous far and wide, respected by rulers, and befriended by peers!
Even among the Eternal Emperors, who are considered extremely powerful rulers, there are still differences in strength and status among them.
Ordinary rulers are clearly inferior to the rulers of other universes. If they were to trespass into a hostile other universe, they would face a life-threatening situation!
Not to mention, some rulers who obtained ancient weapons of war are practically comparable to the rulers of other universes!
These beings, without exaggeration, can all be hailed as "super rulers"!
Ordinary rulers would be in danger if they faced them. Naturally, the various rulers were unwilling to do so, either thinking of vying for control of the unclaimed alien universes, or yearning to possess powerful weapons!
How could the status of a master weapon refiner not rise rapidly?
In fact, many rulers, due to their long lifespan and boundless lifespan, are stuck below the Supreme level and cannot improve their cultivation. Therefore, they study other skills and rely on time to accumulate experience, so that their skills in crafting, alchemy and other arts have improved significantly. It is no exaggeration to call them "masters"!
Moreover, under the rule of the sovereign, who among the Lord of the Holy City, the top emperor, the ordinary emperor, the fourth-step Dao Lord, and even the World Realm, would not wish to wield a powerful divine weapon?
While one can indeed only rely on oneself to forge one's own path, there are many treasures in the universe that can help cultivators comprehend the Dao, reduce detours, and avoid wrong turns!
Clearly, such treasures of enlightenment and union with the Dao are extremely rare and incredibly valuable. Which cultivator wouldn't want to possess one or two of them?
Every time it is born, it will cause a sensation in countless territories, with powerful forces competing and blood flowing like rivers!
Therefore, having a suitable divine weapon and increasing combat power without changing one's cultivation level is still of great help to people. When competing for the rare treasures of enlightenment and merging with the Dao, their chances of success are undoubtedly much greater!
Having cultivated for trillions of years, Cao Ya has not only reached the second step of Dao Lord in terms of Dao cultivation, but also possesses considerable skill in weapon crafting.
However, without a weapon-refining inheritance at the Emperor level, Cao Ya is currently stuck at the Dao Lord level and finds it difficult to make progress.
"For me now, I am somewhat lacking in top-grade divine weapons. For example, when I fought against the Three Silkworm Emperor, I couldn't even take out the Bright Light Divine Axe. It was easily destroyed by the Three Silkworm Emperor!"
Cao Ya sighed, because due to the rapid improvement in his combat power, under the eternal divine weapon with its own origin, no other weapon was suitable for him!
"Sizzle..."
Cao Ya used his unparalleled divine power to tear apart the starry sky, traverse the ancient domain, and quickly head towards the place of origin.
In terms of the inheritance of Taoist teachings, his path forward is clear, so he doesn't have any particular need. In addition, his own insights can be applied to other areas to help his cultivation and open up his own path!
Of course, Cao Ya would not miss the opportunity to obtain the supreme master's ultimate skills and would strive for it with all his might!
The creation of one's own path truly originates from oneself; at most, it is a treasure of enlightenment and harmony with the Dao, which may be helpful.
But when it comes to the application of power, the tempering of the physical body and the soul, and the mastery of millions of years of research, how could one be weak?
Even the most monstrous Dao Lord would be extremely envious and yearn to obtain the Sovereign's Secret Technique to greatly enhance their own combat power tenfold or a hundredfold!
Besides, if one were lucky enough to obtain an eternal divine weapon, or the weapon-forging skills of a certain emperor...
Cao Ya suddenly chuckled. He was dreaming too much. Many experts from other universes entered the Origin Land, but very few actually gained anything!
Ultimately, only a very few lucky individuals have obtained cosmic treasures and eternal weapons.
Many years have passed, and Cao Ya has gotten closer and closer to the place of origin. One day, while traveling through the ancient domain, he came face to face with a powerful emperor!
"May I ask, are you the powerful figure who killed the Three Silkworm Emperor?" the man asked, bowing respectfully.
Cao Ya was slightly taken aback. Instead of rushing away, he paused for a moment and looked at the mysterious emperor who was hundreds of millions of miles away!
The man was dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe and wore a tall crown. He had a long, narrow face and eyes, but he did not have a cold or sinister air about him. Instead, he was all smiles and very polite.
Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Could it be that you are Emperor Fu Bo?"
The man nodded and said, "It is indeed I. I have not yet thanked you, fellow Daoist, for slaying the Three Silkworm Emperor and helping me avenge my great grudge!"
Cao Ya smiled and introduced himself briefly, without mentioning his background, only giving his Taoist name.
Emperor Fu Bo was sensible enough not to press him with questions, and at the same time, a look of amazement appeared on his face!
"Dao Lord Mingguang, I'm afraid even the most powerful Dao Lords are only among the very top few, and only they can compare to you!" Emperor Fubo exclaimed in amazement. The most powerful Dao Lords are the pinnacle of the Dao Lord realm in the minds of most cultivators!
Generally speaking, the most powerful Dao Lords are those who have merged two or more of their strongest Daos and advanced to the late stage of the fourth step, almost at the edge of Dao Integration.
Basically, these Dao Lords are all comparable to top-tier Emperors who have achieved eternity through a stronger Dao.
Moreover, the best among them, such as those who have mastered the supreme techniques and achieved great success, can amplify their power by tens or hundreds of times, or those who have obtained the cosmic treasures that recognize them as their masters by chance... they are even better than other top Dao Lords, and ordinary top Emperors would not be their match!
He has clearly touched the threshold of becoming the Lord of the Holy City. He is abnormally strong. It would be difficult to find such a super-strong peak Dao Lord in the entire alien universe and realm!
It should be noted that the lords of the Holy City are all on the strongest and eternal path, and are by no means weak.
Even if one can only barely reach this level, it is enough to demonstrate how terrifying those Dao Lords are!
Emperor Fu Bo, in terms of combat power, belongs to this level, almost on par with the most powerful Dao Lords.
For example, the Three Silkworm Emperor is probably on par with the most powerful Dao Lords, but he is still inferior to such an extremely monstrous Dao Lord!
In Emperor Fu Bo’s view, the fact that Daoist Mingguang Cao Ya was able to kill Emperor Sancan was enough to show that his strength surpassed that of ordinary peak Daoists and all the top emperors!
"A monstrous, heaven-defying Dao Lord, a figure of extraordinary talent throughout history! If he were to become eternal, he would likely be no ordinary ruler, perhaps even worthy of contending with the Lord of another universe!"
Emperor Fu Bo pondered to himself, then shook his head. It was a pity that the more abnormal a Dao Lord was, the harder it was for him to remain eternal!
The fourth step of the ordinary path is the Dao Lord, and after the Eternal Path comes the Ordinary Emperor; the stronger path leads to the Top Emperor.
The edge of the strongest path to Dao integration is the second-level Dao Lord, comparable to an ordinary Emperor. If it is eternal, it is directly at the level of the Lord of a Holy City!
At the edge of merging the strongest paths, one reaches the pinnacle of Dao Lords—those super prodigies whose cultivation is actually the same as the pinnacle of Dao Lords, only their unique skills can amplify their power many times over, or they possess cosmic treasures, which naturally boost their combat power—comparable to top-tier emperors. If they achieve eternal success, they will instantly become rulers!
As for the truly strongest ultimate emperor... even in millions of chaotic eras and countless alien universes and realms, there might not be one!
In a true comparison, the ultimate emperor on the verge of merging with the Dao is even better than the most monstrous and peak Dao Lord!
They are fully capable of confronting the Lord of the Holy City, rather than merely touching the threshold.
If one completes the Journey of Dao Integration and attains eternity, one becomes the Ultimate Emperor, surpassing ordinary rulers and various super rulers and other cosmic lords. In terms of combat power, one will not lose to the Supreme!
Unfortunately, so far, in the entire chaotic universe, accumulated over billions of chaotic eras, while some ultimate Dao Lords have indeed appeared, there has not been a single ultimate Emperor!
"Daoist Mingguang, please come with me to the Origin Land for a chat. I will certainly host a banquet to repay your great kindness!"
Emperor Fu Bo bowed deeply, truly grateful. He had been chasing Emperor Sancan for nineteen Chaos Eras, reaping considerable gains and causing Emperor Sancan to exhaust many treasures. However, there was nothing that could be done about Emperor Sancan's hiding place.
Mingguang Daojun's counterattack and killing of the Three Silkworm Emperors, regardless of the reason, helped Fu Bo Emperor avenge his second disciple's great grudge!
Cao Ya did not refuse, since he was going to the Land of Origin anyway, and it was just on the way.
During the journey, Cao Ya also inquired with Emperor Fu Bo about various news regarding the destruction of the Divine Court.
"Could it be that Daoist Mingguang is truly not from another universe?" Emperor Fubo wondered to himself. He did not reveal the truth, but instead reciprocated by sharing the information he knew with Cao Ya.
As an emperor, nineteen chaotic eras ago, he revealed his full strength, almost comparable to an ordinary star lord!
Regarding the knowledge of the Destroyer of the Divine Court and the Other Universe, Emperor Fu Bo dared not say that he knew everything, but he knew at least 70-80% of it!
"After becoming eternal and venturing into the Land of Origin, the Lord of the Divine Court received an immense blessing, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, he unified the four directions, became the Lord of the Other Universe, and established the Divine Court of Destruction!"
Emperor Fu Bo sighed, "Who among those who ventures into the Land of Origin doesn't yearn to emulate the Lord of the Divine Court?"
But he knew that once the position of the Lord of the Other Universe was determined, it could not be changed—unless the original master perished!
The master of another universe manipulates the origin of all things. Even if it is just another universe and not the origin of the chaotic universe, ordinary rulers still cannot defeat it.
Only a supreme ruler can be compared to the lord of another universe!
Cao Ya also sighed inwardly. Under the chaotic universe, although the alien universe and the domain are the same geographical units, due to their different origins, the alien universe can have a master, but the domain will never appear!
Even if a super ruler rises up in a domain like the Flame Dragon Domain and can suppress a group of emperors, including ordinary rulers, they will only become the overlords of the domain, not its masters!
After all, the origin of the other universe lies in the core area, which can be refined by the Emperor.
The origin of the realm is managed uniformly by the chaotic universe, and even the supreme beings cannot refine it!
Of course, the origins of all paths in other universes, in the final analysis, are actually under the chaotic universe, belonging to some branches within it, which are listed separately.
"However, the Lord of the Destruction Divine Court seems to be inferior to other lords of other universes. He is only slightly better than an ordinary ruler, but slightly inferior to a super ruler!"
