Chapter 572 The Incident at Buzhou Mountain
"Don't worry, senior."
Chu Yang smiled calmly, then waved his hand, and a misty, chaotic energy gathered in his palm, gradually condensing into an ancient jade slip.
"This is the introductory mental technique for my fusion of laws. Senior has a profound understanding of the Dao of Time and Space. Perhaps you will gain something from studying it."
"Yeah?"
The strongest World Tree stretched out a thick branch and rolled the jade slip into its hand.
The immense consciousness instantly probed into the jade slip and began to study it carefully.
Chu Yang didn't disturb him, standing with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
Chu Yang knew in his heart that although the strongest World Tree expressed concern, deep down it was also filled with a desire for power.
Time passed by, and the tree island was quiet and still, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
After a long time, the strongest World Tree slowly opened its "eyes," which shimmered with complex light.
Looking at Chu Yang, his tone was tinged with disbelief: "This...this fusion law is so exquisite! I never imagined that laws from different realms could fuse together like this, giving rise to new power!"
The strongest World Tree's tone was filled with shock, and even a hint of barely perceptible greed.
Chu Yang chuckled inwardly; this old guy had indeed taken the bait.
On the surface, Chu Yang remained calm and simply said, "The laws of fusion are profound and complex. It is enough that my methods can give you some insight into them, senior."
The strongest World Tree was so engrossed in the mysteries of the laws of fusion that it could not extricate itself for a long time.
After a long while, it finally raised its head, its tone pleading: "Venerable One of Ten Thousand Laws, may I...?"
Chu Yang naturally understood its meaning, and interrupted it before it could finish speaking, saying, "If you wish to gain a deeper understanding of the Fusion Law, you are welcome to come to the virtual universe to find me at any time. However, I am currently very busy and I am afraid I will not have much time to communicate with you."
Upon hearing this, the strongest World Tree was slightly disappointed, but it also knew that time was extremely precious for a first-class powerhouse like Chu Yang.
"It's alright, I'm willing to wait until Your Excellency has time to discuss this further!"
At this moment, the strongest World Tree completely regarded Chu Yang as a powerhouse of the same level.
Chu Yang nodded and then said, "Senior, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Venerable One!" The most powerful World Tree shook its canopy in farewell.
Chu Yang's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Looking in the direction Chu Yang left, the strongest World Tree fell into deep thought.
This law of heterogeneous fusion is definitely a brand new path. Although we haven't heard of any universe master who achieved their status through the law of heterogeneous fusion yet, it is absolutely feasible!
Chaos City, Thunder Mountain, Chu Yang arrived at his residence.
Chu Yang took out a section of the 'World Tree' branch that was hundreds of kilometers long.
Swish!
The figure of the Chaos City Lord appeared beside him.
"Senior brother."
"This is... a branch of the World Tree?"
The Lord of Chaos looked at the tree branch, his fingertips tracing the bark of the World Tree, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"That's right."
Chu Yang nodded and briefly explained the origin of the tree branch, including the deal with the strongest World Tree and the olive branch extended by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
After listening, the Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The Ancestral God Cult, ha, a bunch of cowardly fellows. However, they are very powerful, so getting involved with them isn't all bad."
Many cosmic lords, even the strongest beings in the universe, have intricate connections with the Ancestral God Cult, so you don't need to worry about it too much.
Chu Yang smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He knew in his heart that the Lord of Chaos City was indirectly reminding him not to get too close to the Ancestral God Sect, but also not to strain the relationship.
After all, the foundation of the Ancestral God Sect is not something to be taken lightly.
Chu Yang nodded, then, as if remembering something, took out a small piece and handed it to the Chaos City Lord: "Senior Brother, this piece is from those World Trees at the Realm Lord level. My fellow Earthling... who is also your newly accepted disciple Luo Feng, isn't he on his way to find World Tree genes? This is perfect for him!"
The Lord of Chaos City took the branch; it felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a rich life force wafted towards him.
He naturally understood Chu Yang's meaning and didn't refuse, saying with a smile, "You know how to handle people. Luo Feng has gone to the extraterritorial battlefield now, this thing will be of some use to him."
Chu Yang chuckled inwardly. He was naturally aware that Luo Feng had gone to the outer battlefield to recognize the Star Tower as his master.
Although this branch is not as good as the main body, it is probably the most suitable for nurturing the third branch.
In the original story, Luo Feng only obtained a leaf from the World Tree.
Unfortunately, the gestation attempt ultimately failed!
Of course, because he was unable to create a World Tree clone, Luo Feng eventually chose the Nine Netherworld clone by chance.
After seeing off the Lord of Chaos City, Chu Yang arrived at his third divine kingdom.
This divine kingdom is not particularly remarkable among Chu Yang's four divine kingdoms.
Chu Yang inserted a branch of the World Tree into the core of the divine kingdom.
Rumble!
The divine realm trembled, as if a sleeping behemoth had been awakened.
A powerful life force surged from the branches and quickly spread throughout the entire divine kingdom.
The moment the World Tree's branches pierced the core of the divine kingdom, Chu Yang felt a powerful tremor coming from beneath his feet, as if the entire divine kingdom had come alive.
The once barren land of the divine kingdom began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The soil churned, and tender shoots broke through the earth, growing wildly upwards, weaving together into a green ocean.
In the blink of an eye, the once empty divine kingdom has transformed into a lush primeval forest, full of vitality and wildness.
At the same time, a pure world power flowed continuously from the tree branches into the divine kingdom, like a rushing river, nourishing this newborn world.
The space of the divine kingdom also began to expand continuously, and the originally somewhat illusory boundaries became clearer and more stable, as if a true prototype of the universe was gradually taking shape.
Chu Yang sat cross-legged in the center of the divine kingdom, feeling the earth-shaking changes, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Become!
The branches of the World Tree merged perfectly into his divine realm, bringing unexpected and immense benefits.
The World Tree also began to take root and sprout, and in time, it will grow into a giant Tree of Life.
Next, we'll discuss the laws of fusion.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and began to mobilize the Wood Law and Time Law within his body, attempting to integrate them into this newly born divine kingdom.
Chu Yang was initially worried about the conflict between the two laws, but to his surprise, the fusion process went exceptionally smoothly.
The life force contained within the World Tree's branches seemed to act as a wondrous catalyst, allowing the two laws to blend together perfectly, like water and milk, and to be perfectly presented in his divine kingdom.
With the integration of the Wood-Time Fusion Law, the Divine Kingdom underwent another change. The once lush forest began to mutate, the trees grew taller and the branches and leaves became more abundant, and some strange plants began to appear, radiating multicolored light.
The flow of time also became strange; in some places, time passed slowly, as if it had stopped.
In some places, time speeds up, and the withering and flourishing of plants happens in the blink of an eye, like a revolving lantern.
Chu Yang was immersed in this wonderful experience, feeling his cultivation level constantly improving, and he was one step closer to the realm of the Universe Venerable.
"This is the true Kingdom of Life!" Chu Yang opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.
The Third Divine Kingdom has finally reached its complete fulfillment!
He even felt that he could break through to the level of a Universe Venerable at any time if he wanted to.
However, Chu Yang was not in a hurry to break through. He had a feeling that if he could continue to improve this third divine kingdom, his future achievements would be limitless.
"I wonder if life can be born in this divine kingdom?" Chu Yang suddenly wondered.
Chu Yang looked into the divine kingdom. Although it had merged with the branches of the World Tree, so far, apart from plants, there were no other signs of life.
With this thought in mind, Chu Yang mobilized the power of the divine kingdom and attempted to create life.
He first tried to create some simple insects, such as ants and butterflies.
However, these insects, barely formed, quickly disintegrated, turning into wisps of energy that vanished into the air.
"It seems that creating life is not an easy task." Chu Yang frowned.
The Third Divine Kingdom has been completed; the Fourth Divine Kingdom will follow.
Chu Yang's original plan was to integrate the four laws of metal, earth, wood, and water to create four great divine kingdoms. Once the four great divine kingdoms were fully completed, he would advance to the position of a cosmic venerable.
Now that only the Water element remains of the fusion law, which is not yet perfected, he also needs to think about what to use to perfect the divine kingdom.
The Heavenly Court and Divine Kingdom merged with the Heavenly Palace.
The underworld and the divine realm merged with Fengdu.
The Kingdom of Life merged with a section of the World Tree.
The fusion of the laws of water and the laws of time sounds wonderful, and is also terrifyingly powerful.
But Chu Yang always felt that something was missing, like a delicate dish that was missing its most crucial seasoning.
The first three divine kingdoms each had their own core, but what about this fourth divine kingdom?
Water is both the softest and the hardest, while time is eternal yet ever-changing. When the two are combined, what should be the core element?
"Something of the origin of water..." Chu Yang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
There have indeed been many primordial entities in the original universe, and there are even records of primordial entities being born in the secret realms of the Ancestral God Cult.
Chu Yang sighed. The virtual universe was as vast as the sea, and although the human race's treasure trove was only a drop in the ocean, it was still enormous enough for an individual.
Not to mention the countless secret realms and ruins scattered throughout the universe, which contain information about countless treasures.
"Zando, make the selection criteria more precise. It must be water-based, containing primordial laws, no, even just a trace of primordial aura will do! Size... preferably small, don't make something as big as a planet."
A slightly mechanical voice sounded: "Master, based on your request, 3718956 relevant records have been filtered. Would you like to narrow down the search further?"
"More than three million?!" Chu Yang felt a chill run down his spine: "Forget it, let's just show the first ten thousand."
The dense text and images instantly filled Chu Yang's field of vision, making him dizzy.
Seeing terms like "Ice Marrow," "Heart of the Deep Sea," and "Water Pearl," Chu Yang wanted to curse.
These things have impressive-sounding names, but in reality, they are either cheap or have already been divided up by various powerful forces. How could he possibly have a chance?
As time went by, Chu Yang felt like he was turning into a data filtering machine. Even he couldn't withstand the long hours of high-intensity information input.
Just as Chu Yang was searching for the source of the water system, a major event occurred in the primordial world.
The two ancestral witches of the Wu tribe, Gonggong and Zhurong, had a civil war at Buzhou Mountain. Later, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing it to collapse.
Mount Buzhou, the primordial pillar supporting the heavens, now sways precariously like a candle flickering in the wind.
The mountain has collapsed, and sand and rocks are flying everywhere. What was once a blessed land of immortals is now a scene of apocalypse.
In the primordial world, the sky was originally a chaotic mass, with no distinction between clear and turbid.
Since Pangu separated heaven and earth, there have been the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and Mount Buzhou collapsed just like that.
The collapse of Mount Buzhou was nothing short of earth-shattering.
A deafening roar was heard, as if the whole world was about to split open.
Immediately afterwards, the waters of the Milky Way surged down like a wild horse, instantly turning the once peaceful and serene primordial land into a vast expanse of water.
Countless lives were swallowed up by the sudden flood before they could react, their cries of agony rising and falling, only to be quickly drowned out by the towering waves.
The scene was extremely tragic, like a living hell.
At that time, the Tongtian Sect Leader was preaching in the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, and his disciples were gathered there, listening with great interest.
Suddenly, Tongtian's expression changed. He did some calculations with his fingers, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
"Oh no! Mount Buzhou has collapsed!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader let out a low shout, his originally calm voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible anger.
The disciples were immediately in an uproar. Mount Buzhou was a pillar of heaven and earth. If it collapsed, wouldn't the sky be collapsing?
Immediately, the hall was filled with discussion and unease.
Tongtian didn't explain much, just gave a few simple instructions, and then transformed into a streak of light, hurrying towards Buzhou Mountain.
At the same time, the other five sages, Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa, also noticed the anomaly and set off for Buzhou Mountain.
On Jin'ao Island, the primordial Chu Yang sat cross-legged, cultivating.
The moment Buzhou Mountain collapsed, he also felt the earth-shattering power.
"Mount Buzhou has collapsed, the heavens and earth are in turmoil, and the human race is in grave danger!" Chu Yang thought to himself.
Chu Yang was not a saint, nor did he care about the stability of heaven and earth. What he was worried about was the human race near Buzhou Mountain.
I myself am of human origin. How can those newly born, weak creatures withstand this raging flood?
With that thought in mind, Chu Yang no longer hesitated, stood up, transformed into a golden light, and flew towards Buzhou Mountain.
Along the way, he saw countless creatures struggling in the flood, their cries of agony never ceasing.
There were birds and beasts, as well as plant spirits, and even the weak human race, all swept away by the flood, their fate unknown.
Chu Yang felt a pang of sorrow, yet there was nothing he could do.
Although he wanted to help, he was overwhelmed with other tasks and could only try to speed up his journey so that he could reach Buzhou Mountain as soon as possible and save more people.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, Chu Yang finally arrived near Buzhou Mountain.
The sight before him made Chu Yang gasp in shock.
The once majestic Buzhou Mountain is now nothing but ruins. The waters of the Milky Way cascade down from the broken section, like a giant waterfall, its power overwhelming and awe-inspiring.
The six sages have begun to save the sky. Nuwa refined stones to mend the heavens, and the Primordial Sage cut off the limbs of the giant tortoise in the North Sea to support the sky.
The other sages also used their magical powers to try their best to slow down the speed at which the heavens were breaking apart. (End of Chapter)
