The sky was blue, and the earth was black.
A gust of wind blew through the lush mountain peak, causing the grass and trees to sway. At the same time, the clothes of the person sitting at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, fluttered. His long hair fluttered, giving him a sense of elegance.
At the foot of the mountain peak was a depression. Some wooden houses and people could be seen living there, making it look like a village.
The village was not large. There were only a few dozen houses, and less than a hundred people lived there. It looked very peaceful, as if the entire village was brimming with joy.
Looking down from the mountain peak, three to five children could be seen running around the village, laughing. Occasionally, they would raise their heads and secretly look at the mountain peak.
"The Dao of Joy is mostly good intentions." The figure sitting on the mountain peak retracted his gaze from the distance and looked at the village below. As he muttered to himself, he sensed that someone was slowly walking towards him.
Not long after, a respectful voice came from behind him.
"Senior, the children at the foot of the mountain have gathered some flowers for you. They want to personally give them to you, but they are timid." The person who spoke was none other than the young man from the Joy Branch who had been captured by Wang Baole.
At this moment, he had a respectful expression on his face, and he held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
The figure on the mountain peak turned around and smiled. After cultivating the Dao of Joy, the smile on his face had gradually increased, and the joy he exuded was even more contagious. Even the young man could not help but fall into a daze after experiencing it many times, and a smile would appear on his face.
"Thank them for me." The figure on the mountain peak waved his hand, and the flowers were brought over. He placed them on his lap and restrained the Law of Joy in his body. Only then did the young man regain his senses. He quickly bowed and then left the mountain.
As he walked down the mountain, he could not help but look back at the figure on the mountain peak many times, especially when he saw the grass around him swaying on its own even though there was no wind. His heart was filled with emotions. He could not imagine whether this person had exceptional talent or was especially suited for the Dao of Joy. In any case, after cultivating the Law of Joy for a few months, he had cultivated it to the level where he could assimilate all things.
Although this level was not the highest level, in the entire branch, only the Grand Elder could do it.
The figure on the mountain peak was Wang Baole.
It had been several months since he arrived at the second level of Origin Space Dao Kong.
In the past few months, he had restrained all of his aura and didn't circulate the slightest bit of the laws of the outside world. He immersed himself in comprehending the Dao of Happiness and gained a lot.
At the same time, in these few months, he finally had a more comprehensive understanding of this world.
There were indeed only fourteen laws in this world. Only the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, as well as the Origin Ancient Method, were allowed to be used in this place.
In addition to that, if he used any other Dao of Laws, it would attract the attention of the king spirits. Wang Baole was certain that the situation would become even more dire.
In fact, it was very likely that the Celestial Emperor would wake up from his slumber.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Wang Baole would not use the Art of the Outer World. This was also the reason why he had stayed here for so many months. The Dao of Joy would become his replacement.
The fourteen laws of this world did not come from nowhere. It was similar to what the young man had said. There were three forces in this world: the Seven Emotions, the Six Desires, and the Ancient Era City.
However, there were some things that Wang Baole only understood after arriving here. That was … the opposition between the Seven Emotions and the Six Desires.
To be more precise, this world was once dominated by the Seven Emotions. Later on, the Six Desires rose to prominence. After the Seven Emotions were defeated, they were labeled as traitors and were hunted down by the Six Desires. After a long time, the Seven Emotions' seven branches had completely declined.
For example, the Joy Branch's Joy Branch's Joy Branch was suppressed and sealed by the Desire Branch's Desire Branch's Desire Branch. As for the other Seven Emotions, most of them were scattered in this world, hiding in their own places.
As for the Six Desires Branch, they continued to develop and become stronger and stronger, becoming the strongest overlord of this world. However, the strange thing was that the Six Desires Branch's cities were not six, but five.
It was the same for the Desire Branch. There were only five of them.
Among them, the City of Desire did not exist. In other words, it did not exist in this world. There were even rumors that the Desire Branch's Desire Branch had yet to descend.
Wang Baole did not know the specific details. What he knew was what most people in this world knew. At the same time, Wang Baole also had a guess about the Six Desires Branch's cultivation.
Most likely, each of them had the power of the fifth step, or perhaps even stronger. This was because … they had another identity besides being the Desire Branch's Desire Branch.
That was … the Emperor's Son.
Some of these things were recorded in the ancient books, while some of them were things that Wang Baole had heard from the strongest Grand Elder in the village at the foot of the mountain when he had arrived a few months ago.
Since ancient times, there had been a godly spirit in this world.
This godly spirit's name was only one word.
Emperor!
The Emperor's Spirit was the godly spirit's guard, and the Six Desires Branch's disciple.
However, the godly spirit was always asleep, and would only occasionally awaken. Therefore, no one could touch it. In the place where the godly spirit slept, there was a Dharma Protector. This Dharma Protector was superior to the Emperor's Son, and while the godly spirit was asleep, he controlled the entire world.
His cultivation base … was impossible to estimate. According to the Grand Elder in the village, a long time ago, the Lord of Seven Emotions had joined forces to challenge the Dharma Protector. However, they failed and were seriously injured by the Dharma Protector.
That had given the Six Desires Branch a chance to rise to prominence.
All of this made Wang Baole even more cautious. He had already guessed that the godly spirit was the Emperor. As for the Dharma Protector … he didn't know if he was the Emperor's clone, but judging from his strength, it didn't seem likely. This Dharma Protector was obviously stronger.
In fact, it was possible that he was second only to the Emperor.
Therefore, he had to observe for a bit longer. He planned to completely assimilate into this world. Only then would he have a chance to walk up to the Emperor, merge into the Blackwood Spike, and resolve the Karma between them.
"Perhaps the 108 universes of the Primordial Universe and the Dao of the Void aren't real," he thought. "Perhaps this place has already been completely assimilated into one."
Muttering to himself, Wang Baole closed his eyes and continued to gain enlightenment of the natural laws of the Dao of Joy.
Meanwhile, in the higher levels of this world, the legendary First World, the Sleeping World, there was no distinction between day and night. The lands were filled with ruins and corpses, as if death and withering were the main themes of this place.
In the middle of the ruins, there was a statue of a giant parrot.
Sitting cross-legged on the parrot's head was a black-robed man. His robes were enormous, and not only did they cover the man's head, but they also draped over his shoulders.
Apparently, this statue had existed for countless years. Slowly, the black-robed man lifted his head, and suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness of his robes. He looked off into the distance, as if he were searching for something.
After a long moment passed, the eyes seemed to be searching for something, and then slowly closed again.
