Becoming an Apprentice of the Original Ancestor

Chapter 83 Becoming an Apprentice of the Original Ancestor

The original ancestor was the disciple chosen by Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong went to great lengths to participate in the Genius Battle just for this moment.

Find a powerful figure to provide him with resources, protect him when he is weak, and give him time to grow.

Of these conditions, the original ancestor is the most outstanding candidate.

The key is to become an apprentice of the Primordial Ancestor. Once he succeeds, he will be able to stand on equal footing with the Lord of Chaos City and the founder of the Giant Axe.

If we consider the worst-case scenario, if Zhou Tong encountered the same forced sale situation he experienced on Earth in the book because of the Three Thousand Great Daos, then no matter what the reason, the Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City would be the first to refuse.

Therefore, Zhou Tong added another strong dose of medicine.

"My Three Thousand Great Daos can help the Primordial Ancestor break free from the suppression of the primordial universe's origin, and even allow the Primordial Ancestor to go a step further, break through to the True God realm, see the scenery of higher worlds, and a broader future."

Ever since the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, the Lord of Chaos City has been trying to find a way to rescue him.

Although he felt that Zhou Tong, a mere celestial being, could not possibly have that ability, the Chaos City Lord would still try even if there was only a sliver of hope or possibility.

In order to break through to a higher realm, the Primordial Ancestor did not hesitate to try to take advantage of the Primordial Universe, which is why he was suppressed by the Primordial Universe. Now that there is a way to break free from the suppression and a more distant future, it is impossible for him not to be tempted.

Of course, mere words are not enough to prove anything.

So Zhou Tong used the Great Devouring Technique to absorb the surrounding chaotic energy and began cultivating the Great Chaos Technique.

"This is the Great Chaos Technique. When cultivated to its ultimate level, it can manipulate creation and evolve chaos."

Gradually, a chaotic aura emanated from Zhou Tong.

"It can help cultivators comprehend the laws of chaos more easily..."

"The Laws of Chaos!?"

Without a sound, a figure in white robes appeared beside Zhou Tong and the Lord of Chaos City.

"teacher!!!"

Zhou Tong looked at the white-robed man staring at him and continued to reveal: "All cultivation paths can be broadly categorized into two main routes. One is the divine power route, which uses brute force to break through laws, and it is extremely difficult. The other is the law route, which is also the most common route for cultivators."

The Lord of Chaos asked with concern, "Can both of these paths allow a Universe Lord to break through to become the strongest being in the universe?"

Zhou Tong gave an example: "Of course, the Beast God Cult in the primordial universe must know, and some top forces in the cosmic sea also know."

At this moment, the Primordial Ancestor also asked, "The Law of Chaos, is this path the correct one?"

Zhou Tong nodded: "Of course, the detailed information and specific cultivation methods of the inheritance in the Tomb Ship of the Cosmic Sea can be found by the original ancestor. The founder of the giant axe can ask the Mountain Guest to find out the truth."

"The Primordial Ancestor should already be able to break through to True God and reach the realm of Void True God, but he is unable to break through due to the suppression of the Primordial Universe's origin."

The Lord of Chaos asked curiously, "How do you know these secrets?"

Zhou Tong said calmly, "It's just some serendipitous encounters and opportunities. Moreover, Earth and the Mountain-Sitting Guest have a deep connection, but I can't go into details."

The Lord of Chaos City didn't delve into the matter upon hearing this, as it wasn't really his concern. He was more concerned about whether his teacher could truly escape the predicament.

"Then how can you help my teacher get out of this predicament?"

Zhou Tong said confidently, "I have only cultivated the basics of the Three Thousand Great Daos so far. Once I have mastered them, it will be a new beginning. Multiple Three Thousand Great Daos can be combined to form even more powerful immortal techniques. The highest number of Great Immortal Techniques that fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos is 99. If unleashed, it would be easy to destroy the primordial universe, or to convert and subdue it, refining it into resources..."

Zhou Tong quickly changed the subject, realizing they had gotten a bit too deep into the topic.

"If the original ancestor can still cultivate, I can directly impart the relevant Three Thousand Great Daos. After the original ancestor successfully cultivates them, he can free himself. If not, he can only wait for someone to rescue him."

The Primordial Ancestor smiled faintly: "If I could still cultivate, I could directly break through to True God and become the Void True God you mentioned. I would have already escaped this predicament."

Zhou Tong nodded: "Cultivating the Three Thousand Great Daos requires not only learning and comprehension, but also even more resources. However, I can first pass on some of the Three Thousand Great Daos, such as the Great Chaos Technique, to the Primordial Ancestor so that he can continue to comprehend the Chaos Laws."

Yuanzu neither agreed nor disagreed, but looked at Zhou Tong with a smile.

"Going to such lengths, even risking exposing your secrets, you must have something to ask for. Tell me?"

Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "I wish to become the disciple of the Primordial Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord looked at Zhou Tong with a strange expression, thinking to himself with amusement, "What an audacious brat! He actually wants to rise to the top in one step and sit on equal footing with me."

The progenitor laughed heartily: "What if I disagree, or even try to forcibly take away your opportunity?"

Zhou Tong said nonchalantly, "I have long prepared a backup plan. Whether it is death and resurrection or being trapped by the seal, I have enough means to escape."

"I can afford the consequences, but can you bear them?"

The Lord of Chaos City smiled faintly: "You have a big mouth but not much strength. However, it's good that you have such a cautious mind. The universe is very dangerous."

The Primordial Ancestor then spoke up, "I haven't taken on any disciples in a long time, and the weakest of my disciples are all Universe Lords. The key is that even if I took you on, I wouldn't be able to teach you. So, it would be better to..."

Zhou Tong hurriedly interjected, "I have the Three Thousand Great Daos, I don't need to learn anything else. What I lack are resources and status."

The Primordial One asked in confusion, "These chaotic elements can also be given to you..."

Zhou Tong shook his head: "The Lord of Chaos City is indeed a very good teacher, and Luo Feng is very suitable for him. The path I will take in the future is destined to be somewhat unsociable, and I need to have an identity that can keep some people in check before I grow up."

The Primordial Ancestor pondered for a moment: "Is it because of the Three Thousand Great Daos... In that case, let you become my disciple in name only. If you can grow into the strongest being in the universe, I will accept you as my personal disciple."

A few resources and an identity can be exchanged for a chance to escape trouble and guidance for the future. For people at the level of the Primordial Ancestor and the Lord of Chaos City, it's almost like getting something for nothing, so it doesn't matter to them.

As for Zhou Tong lying to them, haha...

Then he'll have to learn what the methods of the strong truly are.

When Zhou Tong heard that the ancestor was willing to accept him as a disciple, he was overjoyed. The thing he had been trying so hard to achieve had finally come true.

He immediately knelt down and performed a grand salute.

"Disciple Zhou Tong pays respects to the original ancestral master!"

The Primordial Ancestor nodded: "Get up. I can't give you any guidance. If you have any questions, you can ask your senior brothers. As for resources, Chaos, you can arrange them."

The Lord of Chaos nodded: "Yes, teacher!"

Zhou Tian stood up and asked, "Teacher, how can I give you the Three Thousand Great Daos?"

The Primordial Ancestor looked at the Lord of Chaos City: "Bring your junior brother to my true body."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, and with Zhou Tong, they soared into the sky, flying straight into the depths of the endless chaotic air currents.

Soon, the two arrived at the depths of the endless void.

A towering statue, surrounded by chaotic energy, exuded the fluctuations of the Ten Laws, which were even clearer and more powerful than the outward manifestations of the laws of the Three Treasures of Chaos City, as if he were the laws themselves.

This statue is exactly the same as the original white-robed phantom.

The two bowed and greeted, "Teacher!"

The primordial voice rang out out of thin air: "Zhou Tong, I suppose you already have a way to pass on the Three Thousand Great Daos to your master."

Zhou Tong nodded: "Senior Brother Chaos, please take me to a place where I can reach the teacher."

The chaotic energy here is oppressive, and the fluctuations of the laws are very obvious. If Zhou Tong hadn't been protected by the Lord of Chaos City, he wouldn't have been able to stay here at all.

The Lord of Chaos nodded and escorted Zhou Tong to the statue of the Primordial Ancestor.

Zhou Tong immediately communicated with the Primordial Chaos Embryo and transmitted the Great Chaos Technique, the Great World Technique, the Great Yin-Yang Technique, and the Three Thousand Great Daos, which would help him comprehend the laws of chaos and the primordial Dao, to the Primordial Ancestor.

He also passed on to the original ancestor a technique called the Eternal Freedom Great Immortal Technique, as well as the 99 techniques of the Three Thousand Great Techniques that combined with it.

The Eternal Freedom Immortal Technique allows one to transcend all suppression, sealing, restriction, confinement, scheming, cause and effect, and so on, attaining great freedom and unfettered liberation.

Based on the information Zhou Tong saw, he speculated that the Wings of Freedom, the immortal artifact created by Duobao Tianjun in the Book of Immortality, might have been based on the concept of this Great Immortal Technique of Eternal Freedom.
