Chapter 474 The True Legacy of the Mountain Dweller: The World Map!
Meanwhile, inside the Shiyuan Hall.
The guest who had just entered suddenly felt that the gaze that had been watching him in the past had disappeared at this moment, and he was immediately shocked.
Although he knew in his heart that the source of that gaze was not the supreme rule, but merely the primordial will of the universe.
But since even the gaze of the primordial will can be blocked here, perhaps this disciple really wasn't lying to him, and that even the supreme rules can be blocked in the same way.
Thinking of this, the Mountain Hermit looked at Chen Yuan who had walked in and tentatively asked, "Do you know about the Origin Continent?"
"certainly."
These two words shocked the user: it's really blocked!
Otherwise, neither his tentative question nor Chen Yuan's answer should have been uttered.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "With the detection shielded by the supreme rules, I have gained a certain understanding of the Origin Continent through the two great inheritances. Teacher, you can speak freely now."
"It's actually unrestricted now."
The mountain dweller looked at his disciple with mixed feelings. Unbeknownst to him, the disciple had grown to a point where even he could not understand him.
It's only been a few years!
"Are you really not a reincarnation of a powerful being?" He couldn't help but repeat the question again.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't think of any other way to explain how a mere cosmic lord could accomplish such a thing.
"This disciple can guarantee that it is absolutely not true." Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head; he was indeed not lying.
After all, although he was a transmigrator, he was not a strong person in his previous life, but just an ordinary person.
"Alright, I believe you." The Mountain Guest nodded. Since his disciple had said so, there was no need for him to persist.
"Here, we can speak freely without worrying about breaking any rules."
Chen Yuan said, "Let me continue explaining how I discovered the teacher's flaw."
"No need for that, I can roughly guess." The Mountain Guest shook his head. "Since you know a lot about the ancient times—that is, the Origin Continent—then some of the flaws I showed in the past are quite obvious."
"You just mentioned three flaws. I guess they're related to the treasure-refining technique I taught you, and also involve that treasure-refining inheritance."
"As for the last flaw—it's a secret technique of willpower, isn't that right?"
Neither the Divine Eye Technique nor the Rank Technique are things that a true god is capable of discovering and possessing.
The reason why the Mountain Hermit dared to teach these secret techniques to Chen Yuan so openly was that he felt that under the influence of the supreme rules, this disciple would not be able to access such high-level information.
Who knew that his disciple actually had a way to bypass the supreme rules and gain early access to information about the Origin Continent.
"As expected of a teacher," Chen Yuan said with a smile. "That's absolutely true."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "In addition to the inheritance of the Broken East River, this disciple also obtained another inheritance from the Wu Kingdom, called the Sacred Weapon Sect."
"It's actually the Sacred Weapon Sect?!" The Mountain Guest exclaimed in realization, "The legacy left behind by the Taiyan God King? No wonder you were able to discover the flaw in the treasure-refining technique."
"However, the outer edge of the cosmic sea is blocked by powerful dimensional forces, and life forms crossing dimensions will encounter random teleportation."
He was somewhat puzzled by this question. "Although the Holy Weapon Sect and Duan Donghe entered at the same time, according to common sense, they shouldn't have appeared in the same cosmic sea."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded and explained, "But I didn't find the Holy Weapon Sect's inheritance in this cosmic sea. Instead, I used the power of the virtual universe to discover a wormhole leading to other dimensional universes."
"The reason why I was able to cultivate the Infinite Divine Body in just one and a half epochs is largely due to the materials contributed by these alien life forms."
As he spoke, he told the Mountain Guest how he developed the alternate universe and used it as a resource for his advancement, and also recounted how he discovered and obtained the Holy Weapon Sect's inheritance.
"So that's how it is—"
After listening to his disciple's account, the Mountain Hermit finally understood that Chen Yuan had gone through so many things before he cultivated the Infinite Divine Body.
"Your experiences are quite colorful," the Mountain Guest exclaimed. "Taiyan's inheritance is extraordinary; even Duan Donghe is probably slightly inferior to him."
"Especially Taiyan's treasure refining technique is extremely profound, comparable even to my previous life."
"So it seems that you were also a god-king in your past life, teacher." Chen Yuan asked tentatively, "Zuo Shanjin—the God-King of Ashes?"
"No, it is the God King of Jin." The Mountain Guest shook his head. "But don't spread this title around. I perished in my previous life because I encountered a great enemy, and that enemy is still around."
He then directly told Chen Yuan about the fall of the Jin state in his previous life and the information about the three rulers of the Shi state.
After saying all this, he concluded, "Faced with the powerful Food Kingdom, I knew that revenge was hopeless, so I risked reincarnating into the Cosmic Sea in the hope of enslaving the Beasts of the Realm and turning the tide. But at that time, I overlooked the influence of the primordial cosmic will."
"Under the strict supervision of the original will, it is impossible for me to successfully enslave the world beasts. Therefore, I have no choice but to change direction and try to cultivate a genius in terms of will to enslave the world beasts in my place and finally complete the revenge."
"That's why I took you as my apprentice."
The Mountain Guest looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated expression: "Chen Yuan, your talent has completely exceeded my expectations. I believe that even if you go to the Origin Continent, you will continue to shine. Surpassing the three rulers of the Food Kingdom in the future is probably not a problem."
"Unfortunately, I have had very little influence on your growth as well, and I cannot force you to help me."
"But emotionally speaking, apart from you, the hope of revenge is extremely slim, so I have to swallow my pride and ask you this once."
"I hope that once you have enough strength, you can help me this time."
"—Teacher, please don't say that. Your help to me has been crucial." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Therefore, please leave the matter of avenging ourselves against the Food Kingdom to me."
Upon hearing this, the mountain dweller finally felt relieved, let out a long sigh of relief, and then smiled, saying, "With your words, I do feel much more at ease."
"However, the three rulers of the Food Kingdom are quite powerful. If you are not absolutely certain of victory, remember not to make a move."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Your fourth junior brother, Luo Feng, also has quite good talent; he might have the potential to become a God King in the future."
"If we really can't find an opportunity in the future, we can wait until your fourth junior brother becomes a god king, and then the three of us, master and disciple, can work together. At that time, our chances will be much greater."
"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing." Chen Yuan nodded. "I won't make a move until I'm absolutely certain."
"That's good." The guest sitting on the mountain relaxed completely and responded with a smile.
"By the way, now that we've laid it all out, I don't need to hide anything anymore."
The Mountain Guest took out a large pile of Memory Stones: "These are the core inheritances of my previous life in the Jin Kingdom. I will hand them all over to you, including my most proud treasure-refining technique."
"The art of refining treasures?" Chen Yuan asked疑惑地, "Didn't you already pass on the complete art of refining treasures to me in your previous inheritance?"
He remembered that the treasure refining technique in the Jin inheritance he had previously obtained was directly aimed at the God King realm.
"That inheritance," the Mountain-Sitting Guest explained with a smile, "Although it points directly to the God-King, it is only in terms of technique."
"In fact, to master the essence of my lineage, in addition to having the skills, one also needs to master the power of the Great Dao."
At this point, he looked at Chen Yuan and said with a smile, "Since you have inherited the lineage of the Holy Weapon Sect, you should know which Great Dao the treasure-refining inheritance left by the Holy Weapon Sect involves."
Chen Yuan nodded: "It is the Great Dao of Matter, from which all things are of one origin."
"Indeed," the Mountain Guest sighed. "In reality, no matter what school of treasure-refining tradition it is, it cannot escape the Great Dao of Matter. The only difference is the different branches."
"And the treasure refining technique I created also follows the material path, only it belongs to the world lineage."
As he spoke, his expression became solemn: "Chen Yuan, the inheritance you received before only included refining techniques, but lacked the essence of the Great Dao."
"And now, I will pass on to you the essence of the great Dao of the world."
The essence of the universal path!
Previously, Chen Yuan learned from the information about the matter on the Origin Continent that the Great Dao of Matter has three major branches: All Things, the World, and the Origin Point.
He had already collected one-third of the information about the interconnectedness of all things, but unexpectedly, he has now encountered another branch of the Great Way of Matter: the World!
"The original work does record the Great Dao that the teacher cultivated, but it only says that it is one lineage of the world."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "I originally thought this world referred to the Great Dao of the World, but I didn't expect it to be a branch of the Great Dao of Matter."
This is not surprising.
In fact, many of the great principles interact with each other.
For example, in the original work, the path that Yuan Zu initially studied was the illusory world. If you go deeper into this path, you can go either towards the soul or towards the world.
Because this primordial world lacked a complete guide to the Great Dao of the Soul, the Primordial Ancestor ultimately chose the path of the "Great Dao of the World's Origin".
Besides this example, there are many other examples.
"Like the boundless primordial Dao," it contains the application of many energies such as thunder, wind, fire, and earth.
However, these individual energies, once separated, can also follow the original path of a single attribute, such as the original path of thunder, the original path of wind, and so on.
The various powers of the Great Dao are not mutually exclusive, but rather in a state of mutual interdependence.
Therefore, the power of the world can be a branch of the material path, or it can be comprehended as a complete path, but the two are ultimately different.
The power of the Great Dao that the Mountain Dweller comprehended, though named "World," is a branch of the Great Dao of Matter, not the Great Dao of the origin of the World.
However, Chen Yuan thought about it carefully and felt it made sense. After all, his teacher was only at the first level of the God King realm in his previous life, and could at most comprehend one branch of the God King realm.
If a teacher can grasp the fundamental Dao of the entire world, then he should become the ultimate God King, ranking at the peak of the Origin Continent. How could a small Food Kingdom dare to provoke him?
So, under Chen Yuan's solemn gaze, the Mountain Hermit took out a scroll and unfolded it in front of him.
"This is----"
Chen Yuan's eyes were immediately drawn to the scroll's contents, unable to look away.
The scroll depicts a painting with mountains, water, forests, oceans, and storms.
There is a bright sun, a radiant moon, and a multitude of stars.
The whole world is contained in a small painting!
Simply beautiful.
Most importantly, the imagery contained in the painting deeply moved Chen Yuan.
"I have compiled all my insights about the branching of the world into this 'world map'."
The visitor's expression was somewhat complicated. He didn't look at the objects in the painting at all, as if he was worried about being reminded of something he had seen.
He deliberately looked away and explained to Chen Yuan, "The power of the World Lineage is my proudest achievement in this life. If you can fully comprehend it, you will be able to master a complete branch of the Great Dao of Matter."
"With this portion of the Great Dao's power, you will be able to become a God-King level expert in the future!"
After saying this, he rolled up the scroll again and handed it to Chen Yuan, saying earnestly, "That's true, but people choose the Great Way, and the Great Way also chooses people."
"Although I have passed on the power of the world lineage to you, if you cannot fully comprehend it, do not force yourself to comprehend it, because this means that the material path is not suitable for you."
Hearing his teacher's words, Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze, took the scroll, and nodded emphatically: "Teacher, rest assured, I will pay attention."
"That's good." The mountain dweller nodded with satisfaction.
He had always trusted his disciple's character, knowing that Chen Yuan wouldn't do anything meaningless.
Chen Yuan lowered his head, gazing at the scroll in his hand, and thought to himself, "Man chooses the Great Way, but the Great Way chooses man?"
"Unfortunately, I choose to have it all!"
