“Fellow Daoist Cao Ya, this is cultivation at the Immortal Realm, how can it be an easy matter?” Long Jia couldn’t help but speak up.
"However, with Fellow Daoist Cao Ya's abilities... he has the qualifications to achieve creation in just one or two hundred million years... which is indeed beyond the reach of us immortal primordial spirits." Shi Tuo said, also admiring him.
"Uncle-Master Cao Ya, you're that strong?" Jiao Fei was startled.
According to the Second Patriarch of Buddhism, Uncle Cao Ya is already like the old Qiu of yesteryear.
It can be said that it has surpassed immortality, only slightly weaker than creation itself!
"There has been some progress, but it's not enough to guarantee a great future," Cao Ya said, shaking his head.
After all, some of the three thousand Great Daos are repeated.
Furthermore, the Great Dao Laws required for his path number over ten thousand!
"That's terrifying too." Jiao Fei exclaimed in surprise. He thought that he had obtained the Immortal Fruit in the Primordial Universe and had narrowed the gap between himself and his master uncle. He didn't expect that he was still far behind.
"The primordial universe is running out of time. Now, even those who have attained the Dao cannot be born."
"You must hurry up and break through to the Creation Realm, then take the Heavenly Drum Star Dojo, the Floating Dawn Star Dojo, and all those countless clans to another realm."
Cao Ya instructed that the survival of these creatures depended entirely on Jiao Fei's cultivation.
"Hmm." Jiao Fei's expression also became solemn. The life and death of both dojos, including the lives of all the spirits, rested on his shoulders. Any negligence or slackness could lead to irreversible consequences.
However, cultivating the primordial spirit of creation is no easy task. Collecting the three thousand great Daos depends on both personal comprehension and luck.
Although Jiao Fei is a genuine immortal, he still falls far short of the requirements of the Three Thousand Laws.
"We do have a few cosmic coordinates here, which might be of help to you, young friend."
The two patriarchs of Buddhism smiled and spoke, each pointing with their fingers, and light and shadow flickered.
Jiao Fei's eyes lit up. The two patriarchs of Buddhism were veteran immortals. Although the final chapter of the Buddhist path had not yet been completed, Shakyamuni and Nagarjuna, who spread the Dharma throughout the heavens, certainly had a much deeper understanding of the universe than he, a newly promoted immortal!
Moreover, since the two patriarchs of Buddhism came here specifically, it means that the coordinates they provided are absolutely correct!
"Thank you both, esteemed ancestors," Jiao Fei bowed.
“We are all from the same world, and helping each other is only natural,” the Second Patriarch of Buddhism said with a smile.
"Moreover, the Buddhist and Taoist traditions of the primordial universe owe a great deal to your help after we left."
Jiao Fei solemnly stated that he had also studied Buddhism and would definitely spread and promote Buddhism in a suitable universe.
“Nephew, I also have some here…” Cao Ya said with a smile. He came to see Jiao Fei, naturally to give him a chance to achieve the Great Dao.
Jiao Fei was deeply moved and extremely grateful.
In fact, Cao Ya also visited not only Jiao Fei, but also the seven immortals, including Zhong Shenxiu, Qiao Kui, Yuanqi Daoren, and Wang Fu Daoren.
In the primordial universe, destruction was imminent, yet the eight immortals had not yet departed.
In this critical moment, most of the heroes will lend a helping hand.
Anyway, since they no longer face a crisis, it doesn't matter if they achieve enlightenment billions of years later.
Moreover, if they encounter difficulties when extracting the laws of the Great Dao in the future, these eight immortals will surely repay today's gift.
This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Since we have no life-or-death grudges, there's no need for a blockade.
They came from the same primordial universe, know each other inside and out, and who knows, they might even cooperate in some other universes.
The universe is as vast as the sands of the Ganges, and there are countless immortals and creations. No one dares to say that they are invincible.
Why not cultivate more good relationships without much effort?
Meanwhile, Cao Ya himself, residing in the Tianhuang Universe and in charge of the four major portals, is gradually taking shape. His avatars in the Suspended Universe, Kunlun Universe, Kongtong Universe, and Fuli Star Universe are also making similar moves.
Occasionally, he would also pass on opportunities and mentor Jiao Fei and others.
Of course, Cao Ya's own progress is also visible to the naked eye, constantly improving, accumulating and preparing for his future groundbreaking endeavors.
He also kept in mind the evolutionary process of the five universes, which is a valuable experience that will surely benefit him in the future.
Meanwhile, while Cao Ya of the [Immortal Gourd] was diligently cultivating, Cao Ya of the [Stellar Transformation] also encountered an extraordinary event.
******
【Stellar Transformation】The Universe.
The highest level of the divine realm.
Unlike the [Immortal Gourd] universe, the [Stellar Transformation] universe has a clear concept of ascension.
The lowest level is the mortal realm, the middle level is the realm of immortals, demons, and monsters, and the highest level is the realm of gods, a space with solid energy, abundant natural treasures, and countless rare and precious materials.
Of course, there are a great many of these worlds in the first two levels, not just one or two.
However, there is only one realm of gods, making it unique.
This [Stellar Transformation] universe is vast, with countless billions of years passing in the blink of an eye.
However, in this extraordinary system, immortality is easy. Although one must overcome various tribulations afterward, these are all heavenly tribulations during breakthroughs in cultivation levels, with precedents to follow. If one makes sufficient preparations, the possibility of breaking through tribulations to become an immortal or a god is not small.
Therefore, in the realm of gods, there are countless people who live to a ripe old age. You might just bump into someone on the road who has lived for countless trillions of years!
Because of their infinite lifespan, the people of the divine realm generally have a weak sense of time.
It often takes hundreds of millions or billions of years for a major event to occur, affecting the divine realm and shaking the world.
However, in recent years, the realm of gods has indeed been very unstable, with god-kings appearing one after another, inspiring awe in both celestial beings and divine beings.
The Heavenly Venerable Mountain deep within the Asura Sea, its arrival years ago, caused a stir throughout the entire God Realm!
However, everyone knows that Tianzun Mountain is related to the quota of Tianzun, and it is a place for the gods to compete for, and has nothing to do with gods or gods.
Even ordinary god-kings dare not set foot here!
The last time Tianzun Mountain appeared, quite a few God-Kings died.
"The Houtu Seal is about to be born."
Inside the Misty City, Qin Yu, Jiang Li, Jiang Lan, Yi Feng God King, Death God King, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Cao Ya, a total of eight God Kings, are all paying attention to Tianzun Mountain.
"Mount Tianzun contains the spiritual treasures of the Heavenly Venerable. It is divided into three parts, each of which interprets a part of the mysteries of the laws of time. Whoever can comprehend it thoroughly can instantly become a Heavenly Venerable."
"Even if we don't succeed, if we can snatch all three incomplete Celestial Venerable treasures... tsk tsk, that's enough to secure a Celestial Venerable spot."
Hou Fei said that he was somewhat eager to try, but in the end he gave up.
He had only recently become a God King, and was not a super prodigy like his elder brother Qin Yu or Cao Ya. In terms of combat power, there were many people stronger than him at the God King level.
Joining the battle for the Heavenly Venerable's treasure without authorization is too risky and could easily lead to an accident!
Even with Qin Yu's backing, Hou Fei didn't want to cause too much trouble for his elder brother Qin Yu.
Besides, Hou Fei didn't think he could compete with so many powerful God-Kings.
Like him, Hei Yu and Jiang Li also showed no intention of leaving the game.
In the competition for the first Celestial Treasure—the Azure Heaven Seal, only Cao Ya God King, Yi Feng God King, and Death God King from the Misty City side actually tried.
Jiang Lan is a special case; his current situation makes it difficult to categorize him under either Misty City or Arctic Snowdrift City.
"Fellow Daoist Cao Ya is truly remarkable; he almost single-handedly snatched the Azure Heaven Seal into his hands," Jiang Lan said with a smile.
When this matter was mentioned, not only Jiang Lan and God King Yi Feng, but even the usually cold-faced God King of Death showed a rare smile.
After all, Cao Ya didn't avoid them; the Azure Heaven Seal was something that several God-Kings could easily figure out if they wanted to.
"The number one God-King in the current God Realm is Fellow Daoist Cao Ya," God-King Yi Feng remarked.
In the battle for the Azure Heaven Seal, Cao Ya was invincible, even defeating the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen.
Even the eight great holy emperors, who possess first-class primordial spiritual treasures, cannot match him!
It can be said that in the vast realm of gods, if the Heavenly Venerable does not appear, then God King Cao Ya is the number one!
"Who is more powerful, Cao Ya or Qin Yu?" the Death God King whispered.
She had never forgotten that when Qin Yu and Jiang Li found her, she had fought with Qin Yu and naturally lost.
Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Jiang Li and the others were all quite interested.
Yes, who should be the first king of the divine realm?
Anyway, the Asura God King, the Blood Sea Queen, and the Eight Great Holy Emperors have all been ruled out.
Cao Ya and Qin Yu exchanged a glance and both smiled.
They had known each other for a long time; they were already acquaintances when they were still gods.
Now that they are all at the level of God-King, looking down upon the God Realm, there is no need for them to clash with each other.
After all, whether or not one is the number one king is meaningless. When the Celestial Venerable descends from the mountain, even the strongest God-King must submit!
"Qin Yu's new universe is already quite complete."
"We are not far from becoming a seven-star Hongmeng controller."
Cao Ya sighed inwardly. Qin Yu's path of cultivation was different from others. He had already connected with the Primordial Space, drawn in Primordial Spiritual Energy, created the world, and created the prototype of the universe. It was constantly evolving with the help of the divine power of Primordial Spiritual Energy.
As that new universe was perfected, Qin Yu's strength continued to rise.
Cao Ya knew that when the new universe was completed, Qin Yu would naturally become the controller of Hongmeng.
It's no exaggeration to say that Qin Yu is already a potential seven-star boss!
Whether he comprehends the spatial and temporal laws of this divine realm or not is actually irrelevant.
Therefore, Qin Yu's strength is extremely terrifying. In the God King realm, he is equivalent to a top performer at the "time freeze" level.
The extraordinary systems of this world, especially those in the first and second layers, will not be discussed further.
In the highest level of the divine realm, the upper, middle, and lower-level gods are four-star beings, while the upper, middle, and lower-level celestial gods are five-star beings.
The God-King is at the level of six-star beginner to advanced, while the Heavenly Venerable is at the level of six-star peak.
Once the laws of space are mastered, one can reach the first stage of God-King. After that, one needs to comprehend the laws of time.
The mastery of the laws of time has three levels: time acceleration, time stillness, and time reversal.
That is, the second, third, and fourth stages of the God-King.
Of course, the fourth-stage God-King has already advanced to the Heavenly Venerable level, and has control over time and space.
Even among god-kings at the same stage, there are obvious differences.
Simple examples: how can we generalize about time speeding up by 10,000 times, 100,000 times, or 1 million times?
The vast majority of the kings in the divine realm are in the first stage of "spatial mastery" and the second stage of "time acceleration".
The third stage of "time freeze" has so far only been achieved by the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen.
Even the eight Holy Emperors, the native races of the God Realm, are merely the best of the best in "time acceleration." They only enjoy the reputation of being at the King Realm and are feared by the various God Kings because of their top-notch Primordial Spiritual Treasures.
Jiang Li and Jiang Lan both come from the Arctic Snowdrift City, one of the eight royal families.
Because of Jiang Li's marriage and the "Meteor Tear" left by the God of Life, he had a falling out with the Holy Emperor of the North Pole.
After eloping with Jiang Li, Qin Yu established the Misty City, defeated the Holy Emperor of the Northwest and the God King of the Northwest Thunder Punishment City, and gained a firm foothold.
Besides Qin Yu and Jiang Li, as well as Hou Fei and Hei Yu, Qin Yu also won over Cao Ya, who also joined Misty City, which greatly enriched Misty City's resources.
Yi Feng, the God King, was once a follower of the God King of Life. After learning that Qin Yu and Jiang Li had each inherited half of the God King of Life's knowledge, he naturally chose to help Qin Yu and join the Misty City.
The Death God Queen was the elder sister of the Life God Queen. Although there were some conflicts between the sisters, she always held a grudge over the death of her younger sister, the Life God Queen, and hated the eight royal families!
Back then, it was the eight Holy Emperors who, wielding top-tier Primordial Spiritual Treasures, froze space, causing the Life God King to perish!
She felt that this Misty City held great promise, and that she could defeat the eight royal families and rise above them!
Jiang Lan, who was in love with the God of Life, was heartbroken because she couldn't save him. This also caused a huge conflict with the Arctic Holy Emperor, who was her brother and one of the executioners.
Although he did not publicly announce his withdrawal from Arctic Snowdrift City, he has been living in Misty City for a long time and is too lazy to go back.
In fact, Misty City is now widely regarded as the number one power in the God Realm!
With Qin Yu and Cao Ya in charge, who can rival them at the King level?
"My overall combat strength has reached the peak of the six-star level, which is equivalent to the supreme Celestial Venerable."
"It's hard to say who is stronger between him and the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu."
"But Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and Carefree Celestial Venerable are definitely no match for me!"
It wasn't that Cao Ya was arrogant, but rather that he had a considerable understanding of the situation of the three Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Realm.
That Celestial Venerable Piaoyu was a disciple Lin Meng took in during his travels through the Primordial Chaos Space, to whom he imparted all his knowledge. The other two Celestial Venerables were utterly no match for him.
Lei Fa Tianzun was the holder of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain quota during the first era of the Linmeng Universe, belonging to the native royal family of the God Realm.
The Carefree Celestial Venerable was an ascendant, a lucky one from the second era of evolution.
Now, we have entered the third era, and Tianzun Mountain has reappeared to select a new Tianzun!
"This spot has already been decided; it belongs to the former Craftsman God, Marquis Yuan!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, "Don't be fooled by the fact that most of the kings in the God Realm are fighting to the death and shedding blood for Tianzun Mountain, but it's all meaningless."
Lin Meng has already identified the third candidate for the Heavenly Venerable of the Yanji era as Che Houyuan!
"But that's what Che Houyuan deserved!"
"To be precise, the Heavenly Venerable title is already a consolation prize for Che Houyuan."
"His potential should have been that of a Controller, what a pity..."
Thinking of Che Houyuan's situation, Cao Ya felt sorry for him.
This is a seed of a seven-star controller!
The road ahead was cut off for some reason, and both Lin Meng and Hong Meng felt deep regret. This position of Heavenly Venerable could only be considered a form of compensation.
"Well, to be honest, the competition among the kings for the Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure is still somewhat useful."
"After all, the Heavenly Seal reveals a portion of the mysteries of time. What if one were to gain enlightenment after studying it..."
Cao Ya smiled inwardly; the possibility was indeed extremely low!
There isn't a single Celestial Venerable who has achieved a natural breakthrough in the Lin Meng Universe!
Piaoyu Tianzun was a being from the Hongmeng Universe, while Leifa Tianzun and Xiaoyao Tianzun were able to attain enlightenment only after Lin Meng gave them a strong push from behind.
Otherwise, given their comprehension, even if they were given a hundred more epochs, they would never be able to break through to the God King level and attain the position of Heavenly Venerable!
"Completely mastering the laws of time is truly difficult."
