Jade Token Origins and the Three Great Paths

Noon the next day.

The scorching sunlight woke Zhou Tong from his sleep.

When Zhou Tong woke up, he found himself covered in a layer of filthy, mud-like substance, which also emitted a foul stench.

Zhou Tong's first thought was to use the jade tablet and the Gate of Truth alchemy to get some water to cleanse his body.

Then he discovered that the jade pendant around his neck had disappeared, and only then did he gradually recall what had happened the night before.

"The jade pendant has merged into my body, and it seems to have awakened some spiritual power as well."

With that in mind, Zhou Tong immediately began to try it out.

He reached out and made a grabbing motion towards a piece of rubble outside the room, while simultaneously thinking...

"Come here! Take it into my hands!"

The next moment, the pebbles trembled and flew up, landing in Zhou Tong's hand.

After playing for a while, the stench on his body reminded Zhou Tong of what he was about to do, so he quickly withdrew his mental energy and began to sense the jade tablet.

After a moment, Zhou Tong saw the jade tablet in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness. At this time, the jade tablet had turned into a chaotic egg-shaped mass.

It is covered with the imprints of the Three Thousand Great Daos, while the imprint of the Gate of Truth floats to the side, as if it has been abandoned.

The moment Zhou Tong's thoughts touched the embryonic egg, a surge of information flowed from the egg into his consciousness.

It turns out that this jade tablet was originally a primordial chaotic embryo with enormous potential, and it was possible for it to grow into a chaotic world like the Supreme Primordial World.

Unfortunately, the primordial chaos was a blank slate from its birth, devoid of any concepts or laws, and unable to evolve in any way.

Over the course of countless years, it was worn down and weakened by time. It was then encased in a stubborn rock, discovered by chance, and carved into a jade plaque, which was then purchased by Zhou Tong.

Then it was continuously influenced by Zhou Tong's strong will.

The blank primordial chaos began to have vague concepts, and after imprinting the Gate of Truth, the concept materialized and possessed the ability to imprint any [Gate] and have its functions.

However, the primordial chaos embryo has become extremely weak after being worn down over countless years. Although its essence is extremely high, its power is limited.

Unaware of these things, Zhou Tong used it to imprint the Gate of Immortality, and was thus devoured by the powerful Gate of Immortality, which even tracked him down via the internet.

Fortunately, Earth, where Zhou Tong was located, was the source of the Gate of Immortality. The Gate of Immortality that Zhou Tong tried to force his way in was directly shattered and disappeared.

The patterns on the primordial chaos embryo are a portion of the power of the Gate of Immortality that it imprinted: the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Zhou Tong has now completely figured out the origin of the jade tablet, and the Chaos Primordial Embryo has recognized its master and belongs to him completely.

Zhou Tong can now use the three thousand Great Daos of the Gate of Immortality imprinted on the Primordial Chaos Embryo.

However, Zhou Tong went there full of enthusiasm but returned disappointed. The Gate of Immortality imprinted on the Primordial Chaos Embryo was not complete, containing only the Three Thousand Great Daos. Therefore, it could not be used directly like the Gate of Truth. Zhou Tong needed to learn the Three Thousand Great Daos on his own before he could use it.

Fortunately, the Primordial Chaos Embryo had already modified the Three Thousand Great Daos to adapt to the rules of the Devouring Star World; otherwise, Zhou Tong probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate them.

Having figured out the situation, Zhou Tong once again immersed his consciousness into the Chaos Primordial Embryo, preparing to examine the cultivation methods of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Wow~

The next moment, Zhou Tong opened his eyes and began to vomit repeatedly.

He felt a splitting headache, as if his mind was being cut by a knife, and his whole body felt uncomfortable, as if he had been put into a centrifuge and spun around for hours.

Viewing all three thousand Great Daos at once is something Zhou Tong is currently unable to handle. If it weren't for the protection of the Chaos Primordial Embryo, he might have already been assimilated or eroded into something unknown by now.

I was too reckless just now. I can't even eat a full meal in one bite, let alone the Three Thousand Great Daos.

After a while, Zhou Tong managed to recover some of his strength.

Then Zhou Tong used the Gate of Truth inscription and alchemy to get a large bucket of clean water to wash away the filth from his body.

At the same time, he also took this opportunity to think carefully about which of the three thousand great paths on Earth's resources could be used to cultivate first.

After awakening his spiritual power, coupled with the effect of the Chaos Primordial Embryo, Zhou Tong's memory ability has become so strong that he can remember everything he has ever seen.

Zhou Tong could vividly recall both the book and the anime, Swallowed Star and Immortality, as if he were watching them all over again.

Therefore, Zhou Tong quickly selected several of the Three Thousand Great Daos that he was currently able to comprehend and cultivate.

First, regarding his physical body, Zhou Tong chose the Great Blood Soul Technique.

The Great Blood Soul Technique is the fundamental path to condensing physical flesh and blood. It has simple resource requirements; the flesh and blood of various monsters on Earth should be able to meet the needs in the early stages. Once in the universe, various peak races and special life forms can also keep up with the subsequent cultivation.

As for the major acupoint techniques, the major five elements techniques, the major divine consecration techniques, the major protective techniques, and so on related to the body, Zhou Tong could hardly find the corresponding cultivation resources on Earth, so he could only postpone them until he entered the universe.

Other things, such as the spirits of plants and trees on Earth, might meet the cultivation requirements of the Great Five Elements Technique, but the spirits of plants and trees are simply not something Zhou Tong can find or possess at present.

Then came the genetic energy, for which Zhou Tong chose the Great Devouring Technique.

The Great Devouring Technique can devour all energy and matter and transform it into vital energy to nourish itself. What Zhou Tong likes most about it is that it is not picky about food; it can utilize anything, whether high or low, good or bad.

There is also the Great Star Technique. The energy of the universe must include various stellar energies, but Zhou Tong's current abilities are limited, so he can only comprehend it for now and formally cultivate it when he has the opportunity.

Next is mental power.

The first choice would definitely be the Great Origin Technique, but Zhou Tong had no idea how to collect the energy of war and killing, the power of faith, etc. Although the Great Origin Technique contained relevant knowledge, he couldn't use it for the time being.

Fortunately, he still has the Great Soul Technique to choose from. Its cultivation resources are the souls of various living beings, and it is also a supreme soul attack technique. As long as Zhou Tong is flexible with his bottom line, he may not have any problem getting started on Earth.

As for the Great Heart Magic, it should be able to be used to cultivate willpower, but Zhou Tong doesn't dare to comprehend it yet. He believes that his current willpower and mental state are not qualified, and if he forces himself to cultivate it, he might end up going crazy instead of succeeding.

For movement and attack, Zhou Tong chose the Great Teleportation Technique, the Great Blink Technique, the Great Slicing Technique, and the Great Slaughter Technique.

However, the first three require spatial resources, so Zhou Tong can only learn them first and then formally cultivate them after finding spatial resources.

The Great Slaughter Technique can be learned immediately, but it still takes some time to learn.

Finally, there are some special abilities. Zhou Tong chose the Great Healing Technique and the Great Poisoning Technique, one to save his life and the other as a trump card.

He remembered that the poisonous gas emitted by the world lord-level Zerg hive in Shennongjia could instantly kill cosmic-level powerhouses, making it practically invincible on Earth.

If Zhou Tong can use it to cultivate the Great Poison Technique, he can be invincible on Earth before entering the universe, and even in the early stages of the universe, it can be used as a super trump card.

The Great Healing Technique can not only heal wounds and save lives, but also, under the same circumstances, can to some extent counteract the Great Poison Technique, which is just right to help Zhou Tong go to Shennongjia to cultivate.

After making the plan, Zhou Tong also finished taking a shower.

Then he used the alchemy of the Gate of Truth to get some steamed buns and water to fill his stomach.

Then he began to carefully sense and distinguish the patterns of the various Three Thousand Great Paths, slowly searching for the Three Thousand Great Paths he had planned for.
