Chapter 452 The first Universe Lord to seek advice from Zhou Ze!
Chapter 452 The first Universe Lord to seek Zhou Ze's advice!
Zhou Ze shook his head slightly: "I'm lacking energy. The energy I lack is so great that even all the energy-related treasures in the entire clan's treasury combined wouldn't be enough for me!"
The Lord of Chaos City fell silent and pondered, but he did not ask any questions immediately. He knew some of Zhou Ze's secrets, and he felt that they were related to the Pearl of Nirvana.
Zhou Ze has already revealed enough of his secrets; he can't keep asking endlessly just because the other person is nice.
Boom~~
The gates of the Giant Axe Temple opened, and everyone immediately stood up.
It seemed like they talked for a long time, but it was actually very short. Most top meetings are this quick, unless there are major issues that require a vote.
"Holy Master, welcome to my place!"
"Holy Master, please guide me in the future!"
"Holy Master————"
Almost all the lords of the universe secretly exchanged a few words with Zhou Ze before leaving.
Zhou Ze responded to each person in a friendly manner, without being arrogant because of his status or position.
After leaving the Giant Axe Temple, Zhou Ze planned to activate overclocking mode a few times and then relax in the virtual universe for a while.
However, they discovered that the Lord of Chaos City was standing at the main gate of the mansion.
Zhou Ze immediately teleported to appear before the Chaos City Lord and asked in confusion, "Senior Chaos, what is this?"
The Lord of Chaos waved his hand: "Just call me the Lord of Chaos. You've grown to this level, it's not appropriate to keep calling me senior. In the universe, strength is paramount."
"Okay, it sounds natural now, haha————"
Zhou Ze smiled and led the Lord of Chaos City to the stone table in the lakeside pavilion, which was specially used to receive guests.
"Zhou Ze, I'm a little sorry, I've barged into your residence—it's not appropriate for me to be standing outside your residence—"
"—" The Lord of Chaos City expressed his slight apology.
Zhou Ze said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. This is for the best. There are too many people coming and going outside. If word gets out that you're waiting outside my residence, it will inevitably cause a stir."
"Lord of Chaos City, what brings you here—" Zhou Ze asked, slightly puzzled.
Is it that some things are not suitable to say in front of other people?
Zhou Ze looked at the Lord of Chaos City, pondering to himself.
The Lord of Chaos City went straight to the point: "I've come here mainly to ask you about methods for cultivating one's mental state—"
Zhou Ze looked slightly taken aback. He had considered that a universe master might ask him for guidance, but the probability was very small. After all, what kind of status and self-respect did universe masters have? Unless he showed strength that surpassed theirs, they would find it difficult to put aside their pride.
He truly didn't expect that the first cosmic ruler to consult him would be the Lord of Chaos City!
This is the Lord of Chaos City, the strongest being under the giant axe of the human race, and a great being whom the Eastern Emperor believes is most likely to break through to become the strongest being in the universe.
Moreover, he has always taken good care of me. You could say he has watched me get to where I am today step by step. I never expected him to come and ask me for advice.
Zhou Ze was momentarily confused; he had thought the Lord of Chaos City had something else on his mind.
"Hehe, what? Does our human race's holy teacher think he can't guide me?" The Chaos City Lord said with a slightly mocking smile.
He had struggled internally about asking Zhou Ze for guidance, but he had indeed had this idea in his heart for a long time.
The reason he finally made up his mind this time was because the Star Prison Demon Lord went to consult his teacher, but the teacher told the Star Prison Demon Lord to find Zhou Ze.
Even the teachers believed that Zhou Ze's guidance ability was superior to theirs, so he naturally felt relieved.
"No, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect that the first Lord of the Universe to ask me for advice would be a senior like you—" Zhou Ze subconsciously still habitually addressed the Lord of Chaos City in this way.
Even though the Lord of Chaos City repeatedly asked Zhou Ze to change his address, Zhou Ze genuinely found it difficult to do so. Over time, the Lord of Chaos City simply let Zhou Ze do as he pleased, though he would still remind him occasionally.
"Haha, what's so surprising about that! To be honest, it took me a lot of courage to make this decision. I was just hypnotizing myself, muttering to myself, 'The accomplished are my teachers, the accomplished are my teachers'—" Chaos City Lord laughed.
"Well, it's mainly because the teachers all sent Xingyu to consult you. They all gave you such high praise that I finally felt relieved!" The Chaos City Lord sighed. "I understand my own feelings, but putting it into practice is truly quite difficult—"
After brewing tea for the Chaos City Lord and personally pouring him a cup, Zhou Ze smiled and said, "Since you think so highly of me, Senior, I certainly won't let you down!"
"Haha, that's good. Otherwise, I would feel unbalanced if I put so much effort into it but didn't get anything in return," the Chaos City Lord joked.
"Zhou Ze, I'm quite interested in your disciples. It seems like they've all grasped the basics of mental cultivation techniques, haven't they?" the Chaos City Lord asked curiously. "Does your lineage have some secret techniques that aren't publicly revealed? Techniques that can't be passed on?"
Zhou Ze pondered for a moment and said, "It's not some secret technique that can't be passed on. It's a secret technique that I created many years ago with the help of my disciple Shenyou, specifically to assist in cultivating one's mental state."
"It's just not very complete, so it hasn't been released yet —"
The Lord of Chaos City put down his teacup and asked, "Are there any aftereffects?"
Zhou Ze nodded, unable to suppress a chuckle, and said, "I almost got Clark and Tu Man completely confused. Luckily, their cultivation wasn't too deep. If they had cultivated for a longer time, they might have completely lost themselves. Their body, mind, and soul would essentially be them, but in reality, they wouldn't be themselves at all!"
"Oh?" The Chaos City Lord was intrigued. "What special secret technique did you create? Tell me?"
"Reincarnation!" Zhou Ze said slowly in Chinese characters.
"Reincarnation?" The Lord of Chaos City is now an expert on Earth, and his understanding of various aspects of Earth is clearer than that of many Earthlings.
He understood the concept of reincarnation.
There were also some vague guesses about the secret method Zhou Ze had created to assist in cultivating the mind.
"That's right! This secret method of reincarnation—"
Zhou Ze explained the characteristics and side effects of the Reincarnation Secret Technique to the Lord of Chaos City in detail.
"A brilliant idea and concept!" The Chaos City Lord clapped his hands and laughed. "This secret technique is derived from Earth's Chinese culture, just like the mental cultivation method. Indeed, if you want to learn your secret technique, you still have to study Chinese culture in the end."
Zhou Ze looked at the Chaos City Lord and said, "Senior, you are actually quite suited to practice this. After all, an Immortal possesses a divine power clone, so it's very easy for them to adjust their cultivation level."
"However, if you really want to cultivate the Reincarnation Secret Technique, you'd better be careful about the choice of reincarnation. If you end up with a bunch of relatives and friends, that would be quite—"
"You can ask your relatives and friends to help you cultivate the secret method. Reincarnation is not the goal. The goal is to gain insight into the soul by experiencing different roles."
"And to have the most profound experience, it's best to fully engage all your willpower and consciousness, but you—"
As the top leader of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City has his main body and two avatars. Two of his main bodies are needed to guard the initial universe and the primordial secret realm respectively, while the other is adventuring in the cosmic sea. It is indeed somewhat inconvenient for him to devote all his will and consciousness to them.
The Lord of Chaos listened attentively to Zhou Ze's summaries of the Reincarnation Secret Technique over the years, nodding occasionally like a student listening to a lecture.
"That's about it. As for the specifics, you'll need to adjust them one by one. However, there's no need to worry about your will being completely altered. After all, you're at a high level and have existed for countless years. In fact, the longer you live, the more suitable you are for cultivating my Samsara Secret Technique!"
"Take my disciple Luo, for example. He's lived for nearly ten million years, and he's cultivated this Reincarnation Secret Technique without experiencing any side effects!"
"Different people need different amounts of time depending on their spiritual talents, but I have high hopes for you. Generally, the calmer your mind, the higher your spiritual talents tend to be."
The Lord of Chaos City smiled and nodded: "Alright! Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll go try it now!"
After saying that, the Lord of Chaos City disappeared from Zhou Ze's sight.
Zhou Ze sat there for a while before activating overclocking mode to begin his cultivation.
After doing this more than ten times in a row, Zhou Ze felt mentally exhausted to the limit and, as usual, went to the virtual universe to relax.
After playing the virtual reality game "Covering the Sky" for a while, Babata prompted Zhou Zeluofeng to find him.
"No breakthrough? Why are you looking for me?"
As Zhou Ze's disciple, if Luo Feng were to break through to the next level, Zhou Ze would receive the news immediately through the cheat system.
Lakeside inside the temple.
Zhou Ze and Luo Feng, master and apprentice, were taking a walk.
"Teacher, over the years I have created the ultimate secret technique of the universe overlord, but I haven't even been able to create the peak secret technique of the universe lord. I'm a bit lost. How can I go further? How can I break through to immortality?"
Luo Feng was somewhat dejected.
Zhou Ze smiled with a doting expression and said, "Look, you're in such a hurry again."
"You've gained a lot over these tens of thousands of years. Your mental state has broken through to the second level, you're almost fully comprehending the laws of space, and you've grasped three profound mysteries of the laws of time. Your strength is comparable to a cosmic overlord. What's the rush?"
"But—" Luo Feng sighed, "Without breaking through to immortality, lifespan is always limited. Even if my genetic level is very high and my lifespan is thousands of times longer than that of an ordinary realm lord, I am still not immortal and cannot exist forever."
"So—" Zhou Ze spread his hands and asked, "You're planning to give up because you can't comprehend a higher level of secret technique?"
"That's impossible!" Luo Feng said firmly.
"That's terrible. That's just how it is. You haven't been able to comprehend the secret techniques at the level of a universe master yet, so you just have to accept it. But that doesn't mean you can't comprehend them in the future, because you've been constantly improving!"
Zhou Ze said, word by word, "How many years have we lived? Only tens of thousands of years. Luo has lived for nearly ten million years. He has survived all of that. And your friends, Venerable Chaman and Venerable Aurora, have wasted countless epochs without making any progress. That is true torment!"
"Remember, as long as you keep making progress, even just a little bit, it's something to be happy about. As for the result, that's just something that will naturally blossom and bear fruit."
"This world is never about who cultivates the fastest, but about who cultivates the furthest. Many Venerables, even Universe Lords, are not as talented as those peerless geniuses who appear only once every tens of millions of epochs. Yet, many peerless geniuses are stuck at the King level, or even the World Lord level, or even perish along the way!"
"You've only cultivated for tens of thousands of years, what's the rush! As long as you're making progress, that's enough. With your talent and comprehension, there's no need to worry about not breaking through to immortality!"
Luo Feng felt much better, but he still pouted and looked at Zhou Ze, saying, "That's true, but teacher, isn't it because of you that I'm in such a hurry to break through? There are too many powerful alien races watching me now. I feel like they've even sent their universe masters to secretly take me down!"
"Uh—is it my fault? You're such a heartless brat. It's all because you've been so reckless. Look at your junior brothers, they're so low-key. Your teacher, nobody even knows my personal information yet—"
Zhou Ze looked at Luo Feng's head with ill intent. Luo Feng subconsciously put distance between himself and Zhou Ze, moving so fast it was almost like teleportation. Then he looked at Zhou Ze with a wary expression.
