Chapter 538: 960 Years! Chaos City Lord Takes Disciples! The Revered Tongan!

After Chu Yang founded his sect, his first lesson shook the top leaders of all five great powers.

This differs from previous strongmen who founded sects in Chaos City; Chu Yang did not base his school on an existing Chaos Stele, but completely forged an entirely new path!

Moreover, he publicly proved that this path is by no means inferior to the Chaos Stele!

This prodigy seems always able to blaze a trail and always leaves people shocked.

Consequently, Chaos City became even more bustling, and this bustle lasted a full hundred years!

During those hundred years, people came and went from Chaos City frequently, but far more entered than left.

Even when Chaos City began to gradually calm down, it wasn't because the excitement waned, but because those who only held temporary slots had their terms expire.

Forced by helplessness, they could only choose to leave the Prime Universe.

What Chu Yang didn't know is that in the Original Universe, this matter continued to ferment and grew ever more intense.

Slots in the Prime Universe became increasingly precious; the Five Great Powers, to prevent Chaos City from becoming overpopulated, had to raise the threshold for obtaining Prime Universe slots.

Of course, this was overseen by the Virtual Universe Company.

Because the executives of the Virtual Universe Company knew clearly that, compared with guiding numerous Realm Lords and Immortals, overall strength would improve, Chu Yang's cultivation became even more important.

Everyone has realized that if a prodigy like Chu Yang continues to grow, he may one day stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Axe Founder.

When that time comes, the Human Race's status among peak clans will rise dramatically.

During those hundred years, Chu Yang, as he promised, held at least one lecture every ten years, occasionally holding multiple lectures within a decade.

Each lecture lasted no more than three days, so it had little impact on him.

Beyond that, he personally instructed Long Na, Xing Hai, and Bei Qiu in cultivation.

The three progressed quickly; Long Na has now reached the King‑Sealing limit, only half a step away from King‑Sealing Invincible.

Xing Hai, as Chu Yang expected, slowed his advancement after breaking through to the higher King‑Sealing stage, and to this day has not yet reached the King‑Sealing limit.

However, Xing Hai's integration of Blood Luo Crystals has increased, and now the Beast‑God mysterious pattern covers his entire upper body.

After entering the Prime Universe, Chu Yang sent Bei Qiu to contemplate the Nine‑Universe Chaos Stele while cultivating the secret technique left by Xi Luo Duo.

It is worth noting that Chu Yang exchanged a Beast‑God Seven‑Kill in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company, and later, through his connection with the Lord of Dragon Walk, purchased another Beast‑God Seven‑Kill at Yubao Hall.

Yubao Hall exists on the Hongmeng Plane of the Virtual Universe; although, like the Virtual Universe Company's vault, any purchased secret technique may not be disclosed, it can be directly gifted to others at the time of purchase.

Although it cost double the price at once, it saved a lot of trouble.

The Beast‑God Seven‑Kill bought at Yubao Hall was given directly by Chu Yang to Bei Qiu.

Bei Qiu is destined to walk the path of the Gold Beast God, bearing the inheritance of the Gold‑Horn clan and the secret technique and insights left by Xi Luo Duo, which are enough to smooth his way to comprehending the Gold Primordial Law.

The Nine‑Universe Chaos Stele follows the pure Spatial Primordial Law route, and among the fifty‑two Chaos Steles it ranks highly, enough to smooth his path to understanding the Spatial Primordial Law.

The Beast‑God Seven‑Kill is the embodiment of the Gold Beast God and will give Bei Qiu a solid foundation.

Besides instructing the three, Chu Yang, in the subsequent thirty years, added another focal disciple: Liang Wei.

In the first seventy years, Chu Yang successfully fused the Wood Primordial Law with the Time Primordial Law, achieving the prerequisite to help Liang Wei complete her foundation.

The Lord of Chaos City taught him a special secret technique that directly targets the level of life genes; this technique is rather arcane and faintly related to creating life and clans.

It should be noted that even many true gods cannot independently create a clan, making this technique extremely precious.

Of course, this technique cannot directly create life or a clan; it merely has some connection to that kind of power.

Its most obvious manifestation is influencing life genes from the source.

All flesh‑based life falls within this technique's sphere of influence.

This technique is called 'Divine Grace', and it works to fundamentally weaken or strengthen a target's life genes!

However, the enhancement of Divine Grace has a limit: it cannot exceed the target's maximum life‑gene threshold.

For example, the Human Race's life‑gene starting point is '1', and its maximum threshold is also '1'.

Unless later boosted by external factors, this will not change.

But for many among the Human Race, their life genes have not reached '1'; because of this, even within the Human Race, different clans vary in strength.

Only upon becoming planet‑level does the life gene reach the '1' full value.

Thus, Chu Yang could use Divine Grace to create unlimited numbers of planet‑level warriors, but doing so would be essentially meaningless.

The greatest strength of Divine Grace is that it can weaken genes, lowering a '1' gene to 0.8, 0.5, or even lower! When the life‑gene level drops, the obvious effect is a slower speed of cultivation and law comprehension.

True to its name, Divine Grace is grand and its rewards and punishments are clear!

Nevertheless, this technique is somewhat of a chicken‑rib; after all, the cultivation threshold remains, requiring the fusion of the Wood Primordial Law with the Time Primordial Law.

Anyone capable of this must be an extremely powerful being.

Since they are already so powerful, what meaning is there in creating more planet‑level warriors? Indeed, weakening gene levels is potent, because once a gene level is weakened, its starting point is permanently lowered.

Take the Human Race: the life‑gene level starts at 1, and subsequent gene amplitude multiplies on that base.

But if the starting point becomes 0.5, then multiplication occurs on the 0.5 base.

That would require a twenty‑fold gene amplitude to reach the level of an ordinary person's ten‑fold gene amplitude.

However, this effect only works below Immortal level; once one reaches Immortal realm and forges a Divine Body, the life‑gene level can no longer be altered.

Therefore, Chu Yang believes that the great being who created Divine Grace likely intended it to punish his subordinate clans.

Or perhaps, if a clan displeases him, he directly weakens the gene levels of all its members below Immortal; thus, even the Immortal‑above elites can continue to reproduce and gradually restore the clan's vigor, but it would still take a long time.

According to the Lord of Chaos City, acquiring this technique from the Great Axe Founder originally cost a considerable price.

It seems the Great Axe Founder also obtained Divine Grace by a fortuitous coincidence.

The Lord of Chaos City obtained Divine Grace with the purpose of completing Liang Wei's deficiency.

This does not directly use Divine Grace's effect, but rather, through its principle, uses the link of life‑gene levels as a medium, employing the Wood‑Time Primordial Law as a 'medicine guide'.

One must admit, the Lord of Chaos City is truly a genius; otherwise, this method would not have been conceived.

During these thirty years, Chu Yang each year set aside a few days to help Liang Wei remedy her deficiency.

The effect is noticeable, yet it still requires a long time; Chu Yang roughly estimates at least another three hundred years or so.

He was not in a hurry either; Liangwei had waited so many years, so naturally he wasn't lacking these three hundred years.

Worth mentioning is that Aisha and Kasiya never needed Chu Yang to worry; they have already caused two completely new spatial origin laws' profundities to form a system on their own, and their comprehension and affinity are increasing.

Chu Yang felt that, probably before he left Chaos City, Aisha and Kasiya could together break through to Cosmic Venerable! In the following thirty years, aside from guiding Longna and the three others and helping Liangwei make up her deficiencies, Chu Yang had been continually contemplating the Earth Origin Law.

Back when he was on Earth, he had already stepped into the threshold of the Earth Origin Law; now he is saving some time.

In thirty years, he has roughly comprehended one-third of the profundities of the Earth Origin Law.

If this rate of progress were spread, it would definitely overturn the cognition of countless powerhouses.

However, Chu Yang is very clear that this is due to the assistance of various factors, and after his life gene level increased, the influence of the Sea of Laws greatly diminished.

However, as Chu Yang's comprehension of the Earth Substance Origin Law deepens, he can clearly feel that the influence of the Sea of Laws is gradually strengthening.

It is obvious that he has once again reached the limit of the Immortal Realm given his current life gene level.

It is estimated that after he fully comprehends the Earth Origin Law, the influence of the Sea of Laws on him will once again reach its former level.

There is also another matter that once caused a great stir in Chaos City; during that period, it even faintly overshadowed the heat of the Glazed Tower and Chu Yang's lectures.

This matter is that Luofeng, with a Domain Lord-level realm, cleared the thirteenth layer of the Nine Realms Heaven-Reaching Bridge! This also made Luofeng famous overnight, acclaimed as a genius encountered once in a hundred million years, and the second genius in the current Virtual Universe Company after Chu Yang! For a time, many Cosmic Venerables wanted to take him as a disciple, and some Cosmic Venerables even personally sent emails to Chu Yang.

But no one expected that the Chaos City Lord would personally step forward and take Chu Yang as a nominal disciple!

It is said that the Chaos City Lord left Chu Yang a test; if he can pass it, he can become a formal inner disciple.

Many people know that the Chaos City Lord has not taken any disciples for many years; it is said that because of the Kedai incident back then, he has always been unable to let go.

But they do not know that, while taking on disciples, the Chaos City Lord indeed feels some helplessness and gloom in his heart.

Back then, Chu Yang had subtly mentioned this to him and hinted that Luofeng's talent was extraordinary.

But at that time, the Chaos City Lord did not pay much attention, merely regarding him as a young person bearing a great era.

After all, when Luofeng first came to Chaos City, he immediately discovered the true form of Luofeng's Golden Horn Giant Beast.

But since Luofeng's soul is essentially still human, the Chaos City Lord did not take it to heart.

Normally speaking, even if Luofeng passed the thirteenth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, the Chaos City Lord would have no need to pay too much attention, let alone publicly step forward to show his intention to take on disciples.

He could completely have someone hint to the True Expansion King, then relay it through the True Expansion King to Luofeng, giving the latter an opportunity.

If Luofeng could seize the opportunity, the Chaos City Lord would not mind having more disciples.

If he could not seize the opportunity, then that would be that.

But after hesitating, the Chaos City Lord directly chose to step forward personally and, in Chaos City, openly declared that he would take Luofeng as a nominal disciple!

The reason he did this is because he recalled Chu Yang's words.

Even Chu Yang said Luofeng's talent was not bad; perhaps what Luofeng is now displaying is not his limit?

If that is truly the case, then this is definitely a malleable talent! Although overshadowed by Chu Yang's brilliance, it may seem somewhat unremarkable, yet it is bound to achieve great things! Even Chu Yang did not know that his offhand remark back then would actually stir up so much mental activity in the Chaos City Lord.

However, even if he knew, he would not pay too much attention, after all this would not affect the outcome of things in any way.

The Chaos City Lord taking Luofeng as a disciple is a settled matter, for besides him, there really are not many people in the Virtual Universe Company qualified to teach Luofeng.

Another sixty years passed, and Chu Yang finally fully comprehended the Earth Origin Law, just as he had expected; the influence of the Sea of Laws returned to its peak! After fully comprehending the Earth Origin Law, Chu Yang's lecture frequency in Chaos City began to decrease, eventually fixed at once every ten years.

This also made Chaos City lose its former liveliness; only the Glazed Tower lecture held every ten years would draw out the city's various powerhouses and heavenly talents.

During the first stage of secluded cultivation lasting 160 years, Chu Yang was not particularly focused, diverting his attention to many things.

But in the second stage of secluded cultivation, he settled down completely; aside from the lecture every ten years, he no longer paid attention to anything else.

Liangwei was constantly by his side; while Chu Yang contemplated the laws, he also helped her make up her deficiencies.

Liangwei did not act flighty as usual; she remained obedient and did not disturb Chu Yang's cultivation, to the point that even the Chaos City Lord was astonished.

Chu Yang's second stage of secluded cultivation lasted eight hundred years, during which many things happened.

At the two-hundred-year mark, Liangwei's deficiencies were completely made up, she broke through to Cosmic Venerable, and entered the Lord's Manor to begin secluded cultivation.

Accumulated over many years, this will allow her to achieve deep accumulation and sudden eruption; as long as she seizes this opportunity, her strength will surely leap forward!

In the three-hundredth year, the Star Sea broke through the Kingship limit! In the four-hundredth year, according to the Virtual Universe Company's standard for measuring geniuses, Beiqi reached the level of the thirteenth layer of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge!

However, with Chu Yang and Luofeng as precedents, this matter merely caused a small ripple and did not create a major stir.

Moreover, no one tried to take Beiqi as a disciple, for everyone knows that this Golden Horn clansman from the Lasuo World is a follower of Chu Yang! In the five-hundredth year, in the Glazed School, the first invincible king who broke through to Cosmic Venerable appeared! His honorific title—Tongnan! Formerly King Tongnan, now Venerable Tongnan, he is a close friend of the True Expansion King and the Beautiful Jade King, and moreover secretly harbors affection for the Beautiful Jade King, though they have never made their relationship explicit.

Even Chu Yang did not expect that he would be the first to break through! The matter of the Beautiful Jade King also boosted Chu Yang's influence again! In less than seven hundred years, guiding a king who broke through to Cosmic Venerable undoubtedly refreshed many people's cognition once more! (End of chapter)
