Gao Zhengyang learned about the Heavenly Cycle Strategy from Gou Chen and was very interested in it.
A divine item that could record the information of all living beings in the Mixed Essence Realm was too amazing. This was equivalent to turning the Mixed Essence Realm into data, and the Heavenly Cycle Strategy was the server that recorded all the data.
With the Heavenly Cycle Strategy, even if the era was destroyed, Taishang Dao Lord could restart the Mixed Essence Realm. This was equivalent to a game going bankrupt, but someone kept the server data and opened a private server.
Although it was a private server, it did not affect the game experience. From this aspect, there was nothing wrong with what Taishang Dao Lord did.
It was just that in terms of operation, to create a world independent of the era was billions of times more troublesome than transferring server data.
Taishang Dao Lord was not a saint who sacrificed himself for others, he did this to protect himself.
Only by gathering the power of all living beings could a powerful enough nomological imprint be formed. Mastering this nomological imprint would allow one to have rank 14 or 15 power.
Gao Zhengyang subdued Gou Chen and Soaring Snake because he wanted to bind their essence fruit imprints to the world to make it easier to control. But after binding them, he discovered the true secret of rank 14 power.
It was not that he was not imaginative enough, but this kind of experience was too rare.
Along the way, Gao Zhengyang killed quite a few thirteenth steps. But he had never truly subdued any rank 13. This time, he had a sudden idea, which led to this result.
It turned out that all Rank 13 powerhouses were resources. Once enough resources were gathered and integrated into the world, they could push the world to a higher level.
As the master of the world, the boat would naturally rise with the tide.
Gao Zhengyang did not think that this was the only way to rise. So many rank 14 and 15 experts in ancient times did not take this path.
But he only found this path, and this was the only path he could take.
The problem was that the Mixed Essence Realm was Taishang Dao Lord's territory. This was equivalent to him farming for millions of years, and when it was time to harvest, someone wanted to share the fruits of the harvest.
If it were Gao Zhengyang, he would not be able to tolerate it either.
In other words, rank 14 and 15 were limited, first come, first served. There was no way to share.
All experts were in a competitive relationship. If others took a step forward, they had to take a step back. This competition was not a competition with Ji Yuan, but a competition with their own kind.
It was just like the 100m sprint. Only the fastest person could become the champion. Even if the others were just a hair's breadth away, they still wouldn't be able to become champions.
When Gao Zhengyang thought of this, he felt a little anxious. He had fallen too far behind in this competition.
An expert like the Taishang Dao Lord had been running for hundreds of thousands of years. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Fortunately, Taishang Dao Lord was not truly at the fourteenth level, so he could still fight Taishang Dao Lord.
However, after losing the Soaring Serpent and North Star Primordial Fruit imprints, Daolord Taishang should have sensed that something was wrong.
Gao Zhengyang sat on a deserted island in the East China Sea. He looked at the rolling waves and felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
"He's here …"
At Gao Zhengyang's level, once he sensed something, he wouldn't make a mistake.
Spiritual light flashed in the air, and a massive gate of light appeared.
The door of light slowly opened, and a gentle and melodious celestial music came from within.
One by one, flying fairies walked out of the door of light with their musical instruments in their hands. With every step the flying fairies took, fresh flowers would fall from the sky.
Flowers fell from the sky, and celestial music floated in the air. Faint clouds swirled.
The inconspicuous deserted island turned into a celestial realm in the blink of an eye.
A white-browed elder in a daoist robe walked in front of Gao Zhengyang and bowed deeply. "I am Taibai Xing. Greetings, Divine Lord Gao. My master invites Divine Lord into the palace as a guest, is it convenient for Divine Lord now?"
If Gao Zhengyang wanted to leave, no one could stop him. However, he thought about it and nodded. "Lead the way."
Since the Taishang Dao Lord came looking for him, it shouldn't be anything good. However, Gao Zhengyang also wanted to chat with him.
Although the Taishang Dao Palace was strong, he was confident that he could escape. If he was trapped in the Taishang Dao Palace, he wouldn't be qualified to fight with the Taishang Dao Lord.
The white-browed elder led the way respectfully. After entering the gate of light, there were jade steps, golden pillars, and richly ornamented rafters. Layers of palaces stretched endlessly, and it was extremely glorious and magnificent. However, there was a kind of ethereal and celestial Dao aura. The atmosphere was ever-changing, and it couldn't be compared to an ordinary palace.
Gao Zhengyang also nodded. As expected of the strongest person in this realm, his atmosphere was extraordinary. He really had the prestige of dominating the Primordial Chaos.
When they arrived at the Dao Palace, there was only a cloud table in the huge palace, and a handsome daoist in a daoist robe and a star crown was sitting on it.
Gao Zhengyang was also a little surprised that the other party was so young. It wasn't in terms of appearance, but in terms of spirit and temperament. The exuberant vitality looked even more fresh and tender than him.
"Daoist Gao, please take a seat."
The handsome daoist in the daoist robe and a star crown waved his horsetail whisk, and the clouds condensed into a cloud table below him.
Gao Zhengyang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on it.
The handsome daoist waved his horsetail whisk again, and maidservants served immortal fruits, spirit wine, and other delicacies. They were all placed on the table.
"They are all specialties of the Primordial Chaos Realm, don't stand on ceremony, Daoist Gao."
The handsome daoist waited for Gao Zhengyang to have two bites before saying, "My dharma name is Taishang, and I'm called Dao Lord in this realm. Actually, the two words' Dao Lord 'are exaggerated, and I don't deserve it. "
Gao Zhengyang glanced at the book placed in front of Dao Lord Taishang. "This is the Heavenly Cycle Strategy?"
"Yes."
Dao Lord Taishang smiled and waved his horsetail whisk, sending the book to Gao Zhengyang. "Daoist Gao Zhengyang can take a look if you're interested."
The Heavenly Cycle Strategy was blue in color, and there were four mysterious runes on it. Gao Zhengyang didn't recognize them. He wasn't even sure if those four words were the Heavenly Cycle Strategy.
At his level, he already had the wisdom to understand everything. He could recognize any words at a glance. Yet, he couldn't recognize these runes, which showed how extraordinary this book was.
Gao Zhengyang flipped two pages, and after the book opened, the ink words were like wisps of smoke, constantly changing. When his gaze landed on it, the words immediately evolved into a light and shadow.
The light and shadow recorded all kinds of information. As Gao Zhengyang's consciousness went deeper, the information became more detailed.
Gao Zhengyang's thoughts turned, and he thought of the East Sea. Information about the East Sea appeared one by one.
He then thought of the North Star Continent, and the records about the North Star Continent also appeared. The last record was that the North Star Continent Origin Guo's imprint was lost, and its whereabouts were unknown.
Gao Zhengyang thought, As expected, the Heavenly Cycle Strategy isn't omniscient.
If the Heavenly Cycle Strategy could calculate everything, the North Star Continent wouldn't be trapped in Old Sun's inner world.
"It's really amazing."
Gao Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and returned the Heavenly Cycle Strategy to Dao Lord Taishang.
Such a divine item couldn't be snatched by force. There was no need for Gao Zhengyang to be a vile person.
Dao Lord Taishang raised his wine cup and said to Gao Zhengyang, "Fellow Daoist, you've come to this realm, but as the host, I couldn't welcome you. Please forgive me, Divine Lord Gao. "
"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist."
Since the other party was so polite, Gao Zhengyang also raised his cup and cooperated.
Dao Lord Taishang raised his cup again and said, "Fellow Daoist's divine abilities are endless, I'm also very impressed. Please."
Gao Zhengyang also raised his cup and drank.
Dao Lord Taishang put down his cup and said with a smile, "I wanted to toast you three times, but I really couldn't think of a reason, so I'll let it go."
Gao Zhengyang laughed heartily. Dao Lord Taishang was really interesting. To be able to say such impolite words so politely!
"There are naturally countless reasons to toast, but you're too perfunctory, Fellow Daoist."
"I don't drink, I just want to express my respect from the bottom of my heart."
Dao Lord Taishang smiled and said, "If you don't have a reason, there's no need to force it."
"Fellow Daoist is a refined person."
Gao Zhengyang nodded and said, "However, I'm a layman. Why did you ask me to come, why don't you just say it? "
Dao Lord Taishang pondered for a while and said, "I naturally have something to ask you to come."
"My disciple, the North Star Continent, and my attendant, the Soaring Snake, are they with you?"
"Yes."
There was nothing to hide about this, so Gao Zhengyang admitted it.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but can Fellow Daoist return the North Star Continent and the Soaring Snake to me?"
Dao Lord Taishang said to Gao Zhengyang with a straight face, "The two of them are my left and right arms, so I have no choice but to thicken my skin and plead with you."
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang was silent, Dao Lord Taishang said again, "This matter is indeed because I didn't think it through thoroughly, which is why such a thing happened."
He paused and said, "Fellow Daoist, forgive me for being straightforward, but this world can't accommodate a second Dao Lord. I can understand your desire to seek the Dao, but the Dao isn't here. "
Gao Zhengyang found it a little funny and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you so sure?"
"Of course."
Dao Lord Taishang looked deeply at Gao Zhengyang and said, "Fellow Daoist, you must have understood something, so there's no need for me to say more."
"I'd like to hear your opinion," said Gao Zhengyang.
Dao Lord Taishang couldn't see through Gao Zhengyang's thoughts, nor could he see through Gao Zhengyang's current realm. After all, he was an expert from the outside world, so nothing would appear in the Book of Heavenly Cycle.
However, the North Star Continent and the Soaring Snake's Essence Fruit imprints were lost, which was obviously Gao Zhengyang's doing. Lost was not destroyed, but Gao Zhengyang had used some method to snatch them away.
This meant one thing: Gao Zhengyang had understood the true use of the Essence Fruit imprints. However, Dao Lord Taishang couldn't be sure of Gao Zhengyang's question.
If Gao Zhengyang didn't know, he would be too stupid to tell him the secret of rank fourteen power.
After pondering for a while, Dao Lord Taishang made up his mind and openly talked to Gao Zhengyang.
At this level, there was no use in scheming. Everyone relied on their own abilities.
Dao Lord Taishang said, "The Essence Fruit imprints are the condensation of the world's laws. Once you collect enough of them, you can evolve the world's laws and become a Dao Lord, the rank fourteen mentioned by the epoch. "
"Fellow Daoist actually told me such a shocking secret, I'm a bit ashamed."
"Fellow Daoist has understood it long ago, it doesn't matter if I say it or not."
Dao Lord Taishang paused and said, "This isn't a secret to experts."
"I have some understanding of rank fourteen."
Gao Zhengyang asked seriously, "But what does rank fifteen look like?"
Dao Lord Taishang glanced at Gao Zhengyang. This person really wasn't polite, asking directly. But understanding the principle of rank fourteen meant that he was just a bit away from rank fifteen.
He could not say it, but it wouldn't affect Gao Zhengyang's cultivation.
Dao Lord Taishang said, "Dao Lord is the monarch of the great dao. In other words, the master of the world's laws. One step further, rank fifteen, and Heavenly Lord Primordial Chaos is the master of the epoch's laws. One step further, rank sixteen, and the epoch's core laws appear. In other words, the sun, moon, and stars … "
Gao Zhengyang also gained a lot. So that's how it was. Dao Lord Taishang's explanation was concise, but the principle was clear.
Simply put, rank fourteen was the combination of many law imprints together to form a more powerful law imprint. If this imprint could form a real world independently, it would be rank fourteen.
The real world that Gao Zhengyang constructed was the embryonic form of rank fourteen. It was just that the laws weren't perfect enough, so Gao Zhengyang could only create a blue planet.
When he constructed the Milky Way, he would be at the Fourteenth Level. When he constructed the real universe, it would be rank fifteen.
This was just a rough analogy, the specific situation was more complicated, and it wasn't that the larger the constructed world, the stronger it was.
Dao Lord Taishang's level could only give a rough explanation. It wasn't necessarily correct, and it wasn't the truth.
It was just that he had more experience than Gao Zhengyang, and his level was also higher, so what he said was something that Gao Zhengyang didn't know. It was very useful for him to refer to.
"Seeking the Dao is difficult, but seeking the Dao is even more difficult."
Dao Lord Taishang sighed and said, "Ever since I learned from Heavenly Lord Hong Jun, I gained some enlightenment and have been painstakingly seeking the Dao for a million years. Up until now, I have achieved nothing in the reincarnation of the epoch. I'm ashamed … "
"Fellow Daoist has the Heavenly Cycle Divine Strategy, yet you say that you have achieved nothing. That's too much of a joke."
Gao Zhengyang couldn't agree with Dao Lord Taishang. This person was living too comfortably, yet he wasn't satisfied. It was really too much.
What should someone like him, who had climbed up from the bottom, do?
Dao Lord Taishang shook his head and said, "I'm not putting on an act. Fellow Daoist has your difficulties, and I have my difficulties."
Gao Zhengyang didn't say a word. He couldn't understand Dao Lord Taishang, and he didn't intend to.
Dao Lord Taishang wasn't embarrassed either. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I still have the same request. Return Gouchen and Teng She to me. I'll send you out of the Primordial Chaos Realm. "
"I didn't say I'm leaving."
Gao Zhengyang found it funny. "The Primordial Chaos Realm is at the top of the epoch, and it gathers endless Spirit Qi. Why should I leave? "
"Fellow Daoist has already reached the peak of the thirteenth rank. There's no more room for improvement."
Dao Lord Taishang said, "All living beings in the Primordial Chaos Realm are in the Heavenly Cycle Divine Strategy. I've refined it for more than a million years, and no one can snatch away the nomological imprint of the Primordial Chaos Realm. "
Dao Lord Taishang asked Gao Zhengyang, "Fellow Daoist, what else can you gain by staying in the Primordial Chaos Realm other than becoming enemies with me?"
"Since Fellow Daoist has asked, I'll be straightforward."
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "There are three thousand immortal sects in this realm, and a hundred thousand Essence Guo Divine Lords. I can kill thirty to fifty thousand Essence Guo Divine Lords, and that's enough to condense the nomological imprint. "
Dao Lord Taishang's face darkened. Gao Zhengyang was really savage. He didn't take him seriously at all.
He asked coldly, "Fellow Daoist, do you really want to be enemies with me?"
Gao Zhengyang shook his head. "It's not that I have to be enemies with you. There are only a few spots on the fourteenth rank, and all the experts in this era are my enemies. "
He said to Dao Lord Taishang, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't like fighting, give me the Heavenly Cycle Divine Strategy, and I'll ensure your safety. I'll continue to be the Primordial Chaos Realm's Lord."
Dao Lord Taishang was silent. What was the point of being the Primordial Chaos Realm's Lord? He just needed the Primordial Chaos Realm's nomological imprint to forge the fourteenth rank's authority.
Gao Zhengyang was right. On the path to the fourteenth rank, everyone was an enemy.
The Great Dao was heartless. To pursue the Great Dao, one had to give up everything.
Dao Lord Taishang thought for a while and said, "I have the Heavenly Cycle Divine Strategy. You can't beat me no matter what. Fighting with you in this realm will only exhaust each other's strength, and others will benefit. "
At this point, Dao Lord Taishang was no longer in the mood to call himself 'Fellow Daoist'. He wanted to make things clear with Gao Zhengyang. He wasn't afraid of Gao Zhengyang, but he didn't want to waste his strength on him.
Dao Lord Taishang had to admit that Gao Zhengyang was indeed strong. His physique tempering divine art was especially troublesome. Unless he could reach the fourteenth rank, he wouldn't be able to kill Gao Zhengyang.
But Gao Zhengyang wouldn't be able to beat him either. This kind of battle would only exhaust both sides. If he wasn't careful, others might benefit.
The epoch laws were collapsing, and any changes could happen. If someone reached the fourteenth rank first, it would be a disaster for all the other experts.
Moreover, there were many Xiantian experts in slumber in the depths of the epoch laws. As the epoch laws continued to collapse, these experts in the depths of the epoch laws would revive.
When that time came, the weak would be in a miserable state.
Dao Lord Taishang persuaded again, "Fellow Daoist, you're walking the path of physique tempering. Actually, you don't need to condense the essence fruit mark to prove your Dao. I know of a Precelestial Level 14 body-tempering Great Dao. "
"Oh, tell me about it."
Gao Zhengyang was very interested in this. As long as he could reach the fourteenth rank, he didn't care what path he took.
Condensing the essence fruit law to form the Dao was easy to say, but it wasn't easy to do. It wasn't as simple as killing an essence fruit expert. Instead, it required the expert to willingly summon the essence fruit mark and fuse it with the laws of the world.
Dao Lord Taishang had the Universe Strategy, and all the experts in this world were his disciples. It would be easy for him to do so. But even with such good conditions, he couldn't reach the fourteenth rank.
One could imagine how difficult this path was.
Dao Lord Taishang said, "During the golden epoch, rank 14 experts were everywhere, and rank 15 experts weren't rare either. These experts were all born precelestial, and had never condensed the essence fruit law. "
"I know this, but where did their power come from?"
Gao Zhengyang naturally knew this, and he wanted to know more.
"These experts were born from the precelestial laws of the epoch, and are actually living beings transformed from the epoch laws."
Dao Lord Taishang wanted to dismiss Gao Zhengyang, so he could only tell him the ancient secret. "Condensing the essence fruit mark to reach the fourteenth rank is actually using the essence fruit mark to reorganize these laws. The essence fruit mark of the fourteenth rank needs to be matched, and it's not better to collect more. "
At this point, Dao Lord Taishang glanced at Gao Zhengyang with a look of hidden bitterness.
This guy was extremely simple-minded. After knowing the secret of the fourteenth rank, he just stared at him and bit him. Dao Lord Taishang felt sour inside.
