Chapter 604 Meeting the Original Ancestor
In the past, if they wanted to ask the God of Crafts to forge a high-grade treasure, they would have to wait at least 100,000 epochs and prepare more than twice the amount of materials to forge one.
The long wait and the high cost deterred many cosmic rulers from taking the plunge.
Now that the human race has its own top-notch weapon-refining masters, they naturally won't let this opportunity slip by.
They were eager to hand over the materials they had to Chu Yang so that he could forge a suitable treasure for them, thereby enhancing their strength and making greater contributions to their clan.
Chu Yang's avatar looked at the mountain of materials in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Chu Yang was unaware of the convening of today's meeting, nor had the Lord of Chaos City revealed anything to him, but judging from everyone's behavior...
"Senior brother, this..."
Chu Yang transmitted his voice to the Lord of Chaos City.
"No need to refuse, this is the will of me, Giant Axe, and my teacher!" The Chaos City Lord transmitted his voice with a smile.
"Alright!" Chu Yang shrugged indifferently. He knew in his heart that he wouldn't hide the fact that he could refine treasures for long, after all, there wasn't a single weapon-refining master among the human race who could refine treasures.
"Ahem!" Chu Yang coughed twice and said, "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but refining a supreme treasure is not something that can be done overnight, and I don't need that many materials for the time being..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Founder of the Giant Axe interrupted him: "Lord of All Laws, don't be modest! Take these materials and use them as you please; if it's not enough, we'll collect more! Just focus on crafting treasures and enhancing the strength of my human race!"
Master Peng said, "Lord of All Laws, go ahead and refine them! Just ask if you need any materials, and we'll do everything in our power to gather them for you!"
"That's right, we're willing to give anything as long as it can help the human race advance further!" Another universe lord chimed in.
"All right!"
Chu Yang helplessly spread his hands, gesturing for the Chaos City Lord to put the materials away, and then said, "Then I will accept them without hesitation. However, refining a supreme treasure takes a long time, so please be patient."
"Of course, of course!"
The lords of the universe nodded in agreement, their faces full of anticipation.
The Lord of Desolate Mirrors laughed, "Lord of All Laws, our main battle avatar is still in the Cosmic Sea, so we can't provide many materials for the time being. However, we've already planned to return to the Primordial Universe, and our avatars have quite a few materials on them!"
The Lord of Darkness nodded in agreement, as his situation was similar.
Not only the two of them, but also several other powerful universe lords who possess clones have done the same, sending their clones to roam the cosmic sea.
Chu Yang: "Alright! No rush. However, the forging of this supreme treasure can only begin after my true body returns!"
……
After passing through layers of space, Chu Yang finally saw the statue of the Primordial Ancestor.
It was a towering and majestic giant statue, radiating boundless pressure, as if suppressing the entire universe.
Chu Yang was filled with emotion and respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
Just then, the statue of the progenitor suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and a vast consciousness descended, enveloping Chu Yang.
"Chu Yang, you did a great job."
A deep and authoritative voice rang in Chu Yang's ear: "You have given the human race the ability to forge supreme treasures. This is a blessing for our race, and it is because of your help that the primordial universe's will has shown me leniency!"
Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied respectfully, "This disciple dares not take credit; it was all for the sake of humanity."
"Your contributions will be remembered by the human race, and I will remember them too!"
The primordial consciousness continued, "I hope you will continue your efforts to make humanity stronger, so that we may ultimately stand at the pinnacle of the universe!"
"This disciple will certainly do his utmost!" Chu Yang replied firmly.
Suddenly, the statue's eyes burst forth with a dazzling light, directly entering Chu Yang's mind: "These are my insights into the laws of nature accumulated over countless years, including the laws of space, time, metal and space, and other fusion laws... I know you follow the Laws-based school; I hope these can be of some help to you!"
The voice of the primordial ancestor echoed in Chu Yang's mind, and a vast torrent of information surged in, almost bursting the consciousness of his avatar.
Chu Yang gritted his teeth and exerted all his divine power, eagerly absorbing these invaluable insights.
A vast torrent of information assaulted his consciousness, threatening to overwhelm him.
Chu Yang felt his soul trembling, and the mysteries of the laws were constantly unfolding and changing in his heart.
Time seemed to lose its meaning as he immersed himself in the ocean of laws, feeling the pulse of the universe.
It is unknown how much time passed, but the light gradually dimmed, and the primordial consciousness dissipated along with it.
Chu Yang then snapped out of his reverie. He took a deep breath and felt a significant improvement in his understanding of the laws of fusion.
He bowed again to the statue, his heart filled with gratitude, and respectfully said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Chu Yang had only ever held the nominal title of the original ancestor's disciple. It was only because the Chaos City Lord had accepted him as a disciple on behalf of his master that Chu Yang was given the honorary title in order to increase his status.
Now, the ancestor has passed on such precious insights to him, and he will always remember this kindness.
This gift from the Primordial Ancestor is extremely precious. The understanding transmitted from this wisp of his consciousness was almost forcibly ripped off from his own body. If it were given to another Universe Venerable, he would probably become the Lord of the Universe in less than a hundred years.
In fact, this caused the ancestor's last vestige of consciousness to completely dissipate.
In other words, the original ancestor's consciousness could have existed for more than ten thousand years, but because it was all poured into Chu Yang, this wisp of consciousness dissipated at the moment of its end.
Moreover, the primordial true body suppressed in the place of origin will also suffer some losses, since it was a part of him that he had extracted, which will have a great impact on him.
Chu Yang quickly realized this and his approval of this 'teacher' rose to an extremely high level, almost on par with that of the Chaos City Lord!
The primordial being bestowed upon him not only insights into the laws, but also expectations and entrustments for the future.
As soon as he appeared, the Lord of Chaos City came forward and asked with concern, "How is it, Chu Yang? Did the Primordial Ancestor bestow anything upon you?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "It's a secret!"
The Chaos City Lord rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're still keeping me in suspense! But judging from your expression, you must have gained quite a bit."
"Of course!" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow smugly and said, "You'll see when my true form returns."
"Oh, right, senior brother!"
Chu Yang suddenly remembered something, "I need a list of all the materials needed to refine a supreme treasure. Could you help me compile one, the more detailed the better?"
"No problem," the Chaos City Lord readily agreed.
Chu Yang changed the subject: "There's one more thing, concerning your disciple, Luo Feng!"
"Luo Feng? What happened to him?" the Chaos City Lord asked in confusion.
In recent years, another extremely brilliant genius has emerged among the human race, namely Luo Feng.
Luo Feng has now become an immortal, possessing the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.
Chu Yang gave a branch of the World Tree and some seawater from the Nine Netherworld Imperial Sea to the Lord of Chaos City, who then offered it to his clan. As a result, Luo Feng did not go to the Nine Netherworld Space-Time, which allowed him to develop his third avatar earlier than in the original story.
However, what remained unchanged was that Luo Feng still failed to create a World Tree clone, but successfully created a Nine Netherworld clone.
After tens of thousands of years, Luo Feng finally broke through to the Immortal Realm. In several battles, his strength was comparable to that of a top-tier cosmic overlord.
"I've received information that the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race are planning to deal with Luo Feng again, just like they did with me. However, their ambush attempt that time failed. This time, I suspect they might invite the strongest being in the universe to join the fight!"
"The strongest?" The Chaos City Lord exclaimed in surprise, "The strongest beings from the three races in the universe, would they dare to make a move against the Ancestral God Sect? Many of their descendants probably serve as Divine Generals or candidates for Divine Generals within the Ancestral God Sect!"
"No!" Chu Yang shook his head slightly. "They certainly wouldn't make a move within the Ancestral God Sect themselves; they'd probably invite the strongest lone individual!"
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Chaos City nodded thoughtfully: "Now that you mention it, Luo Feng really is in some danger! Should we send him back to our human territory?"
Chu Yang continued, "No need. My true form is about to complete its cultivation, and I plan to secretly protect Luo Feng for a period of time. This might also be a trial for Luo Feng; to grow, he must undergo countless trials!"
"Are you confident you can handle the strongest opponent?"
"Yes, self-preservation is not a problem, and the Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect will not allow others to run rampant in the Ancestral God Mystic Realm without taking action!"
The Chaos City Lord breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly, "Alright, if you feel there's anything amiss, tell me immediately. The Giant Axe is still within human territory. Don't forget, you have us behind you!"
"Senior brother, let's stop here for now. I still have some doubts about the principles the teacher imparted to me, and I need to verify them!"
"Alright, let's talk about it when your real body comes back."
The Lord of Chaos City said, "By the way, I have already compiled the list of materials you need. I will give it to you when you arrive."
"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother!" Chu Yang said, cupping his hands in thanks.
Having said that, his avatar left Chaos City.
Within the secret realm, Chu Yang sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless threads of law runes. These threads, like living things, constantly intertwined and coiled, eventually merging into the six supreme treasures floating before him.
The three eras passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.
Six treasures, each radiating a different color of light, floated before him. One of them, a palace-shaped treasure, was particularly eye-catching. It was entirely black, with countless mysterious runes engraved on its surface, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"Finally finished!" Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of fatigue showing on his face.
Refining high-grade treasures requires extremely high levels of mental strength and comprehension of laws. Even with Chu Yang's current strength, it still took a huge amount of effort.
This palace-type treasure, in particular, has an incredibly complex internal structure that requires the integration of numerous fusion law runes, making its crafting difficulty far exceed that of the other treasures.
Chu Yang reached out and gently stroked the palace treasure, feeling the warm touch it emitted, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
This palace treasure is not bad even among high-level palace treasures!
"It's a pity I already have a top-tier palace treasure. I'll offer this palace treasure to the clan," Chu Yang thought to himself.
Although these treasures were all made using materials provided by the Ancestral God Sect, Chu Yang only needed to give half of them to the Ancestral God of the Ancestral God Sect.
In other words, he only needs to produce three relatively ordinary high-grade treasures to meet the demands of the Ancestral God Sect.
He stored the other five treasures into his inner world, leaving only this palace treasure floating in front of him.
"Let's call this palace treasure the 'Palace of a Thousand Stars'."
Chu Yang's heart stirred, and immediately, the three ancient characters "Thousand Star Palace" appeared on the palace's treasure.
"Phew~ As agreed, I just need to give the Ancestral God Sect three high-grade treasures, and then I don't need to worry about them for the next 300,000 epochs!"
Chu Yang stretched and muttered to himself.
Since this was the first time they had crafted a supreme treasure for the Ancestral God Sect, the sect didn't have overly strict requirements. As long as it was a high-grade supreme treasure, that would be fine. After all, there were differences in value among high-grade supreme treasures. For example, palace-type and soul-type supreme treasures were a level higher in value than attack-type and armor-type supreme treasures!
Chu Yang knew perfectly well that the reason the Ancestral God Sect had asked him to refine a supreme treasure was simply to exploit his talent for their own benefit.
Of course, Chu Yang wasn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't risk his life for the Ancestral God Sect for nothing.
He agreed to forge the treasure for two reasons: one was to release the Primordial Ancestor, and the other was to improve his own weapon-forging skills.
He has now crafted six high-grade treasures, which can be considered as exceeding the target.
Chu Yang flashed away and left the secret realm. After several twists and turns, he finally returned to Zijing Island.
The three Ancestral Gods had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Chu Yang arrive, the leading two-faced Ancestral God immediately rose to greet him, his face beaming with smiles: "Lord of All Laws, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"
Chu Yang replied, "I apologize for keeping you ancestral gods waiting. Crafting a supreme treasure is no easy task."
After saying that, he casually tossed three high-grade treasures over.
Chu Yang kept the palace-type high-grade treasure in his possession.
So far, besides the three treasures he gave to the Ancestral God Sect, Chu Yang still has nearly ten high-grade treasures, nearly fifty ordinary treasures, and almost one hundred top-grade heavy treasures.
The three ancestral gods quickly reached out and took it, carefully examined it, and after confirming that it was a high-grade treasure, their smiles became even brighter.
"Indeed, they are all high-grade treasures, and their quality is quite good."
The two-faced ancestral god nodded in satisfaction.
The elderly ancestral god also laughed and said, "The Lord of All Laws is indeed exceptionally gifted. To be able to refine such a high-quality treasure at such a young age is truly awe-inspiring!"
Chu Yang smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
"Three Ancestral Gods, I plan to stay on Purple Thorn Island for a while. Is that alright?" Chu Yang glanced at the Two-Faced Ancestral God and suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the three Ancestral Gods were slightly taken aback. The Two-Faced Ancestral God said, "Of course you can. You are now an elder of our Ancestral God Sect. You can stay as long as you want. You can even stay in the Purple Thorn Island Lord's Palace if you wish!"
The master of Purple Thorn Island is a beast god, so appointing Chu Yang as the master of Purple Thorn Island is indeed just a matter of a word. (End of this chapter)
