Chapter 1 An Ordinary Room

This was an ordinary room, with a long table and a prayer mat inside. On the table were a set of purple robes and a purple token. The moment Jiang Xuan stepped inside, a phantom appeared on the prayer mat.

It was an old man with a slight hunch. He looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile, "Young man, you were able to pass the Kai-Pijing (Opening Realm) test to come here. From now on, you will be a purple-robed disciple of my Tai Xu Heavenly Palace..."

This phantom was left behind by Tianyu Laozu (Old Ancestor Tianyu) to explain the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace to those who came later.

Naturally, there was more than one set of purple-robed disciple equipment here, but only after the previous set was taken would the next set appear. However, over the long eons of several universe eras, not many people had been able to pass the Kai-Pijing test.

As for the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, it was a sect created by Tianyu Laozu at the invitation of the Moshan Shizu (Founding Ancestor of Demon Mountain) and the Yao Guang Zhizhu (Lord of Yao Guang) in the Seven Star Sea Sacred Realm.

Of course, Jiang Xuan estimated that he wouldn't need this disciple status. Although the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace was extremely protective of its own, by the time he reached the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, his strength shared through the Chaos Space would have reached an unknown level. So, this Tai Xu Heavenly Palace disciple status wasn't very useful to him.

"As a purple-robed disciple of the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, you will receive robes, a token, and you can choose three Chaos-level foundational techniques..."

Chaos-level foundational techniques. Although they were called "foundational," don't forget that this was the Chaos level! Jiang Xuan was only at the Kai-Pijing realm now. Above that were the True God Ruler realm, and then he could step into the Void God level. Besides that, he also had to pass through the nascent stage and the unity stage before reaching the Chaos realm!

It could be said that every inheritance here far surpassed Jiang Xuan's current realm. Any one of them was the most top-tier secret technique inheritance in this universe, something that other forces couldn't produce.

For Jiang Xuan, it was also a rare opportunity. The most top-tier techniques he possessed were the three Ten Ferocious Treasures, but the Ten Ferocious Treasures focused more on killing. He didn't have top-notch methods in other aspects, but now things were different. The three Chaos-level foundational techniques could make up for this.

Soon, the phantom of Tianyu Laozu dissipated. Jiang Xuan picked up the purple robe, and with a soul wave, he easily refined it. The purple robe naturally recognized him as its master.

With a thought, he put on the purple robe. It was a treasure for protecting the body. At least with Jiang Xuan's current power, he couldn't damage it in the slightest. It could definitely be said to be indestructible.

"It should be a Void God weapon..."

Jiang Xuan thought to himself. He didn't have a Void God weapon to compare it with, but he could see that this purple robe definitely surpassed the level of a True God artifact, enough to defend against the attacks of most beings below the Void God level.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much. He was very satisfied to obtain a treasure for protecting the body. Moreover, this was just the clothing of a purple-robed disciple. Above that were the robes of the gold-robed disciples.

Afterward, Jiang Xuan picked up the purple token next to it. With a slight sense, a large amount of information quickly flooded into his mind.

A great deal of common knowledge about the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, including information that the robe was personally refined by Tianyu Laozu and was indestructible, was recorded. There were also records of Chaos-level techniques.

"The Tai Xu Heavenly Palace has a total of one hundred and nine Chaos-level foundational techniques, which are the techniques I can choose from." Jiang Xuan quickly sorted out the information.

The Tai Xu Heavenly Palace had one hundred and nine Chaos-level foundational techniques. The so-called "foundational" actually referred to techniques that specialized in one path. One foundational technique carried a single dao.

"It's a pity that I can only choose three."

With a sigh, Jiang Xuan didn't think too much about it and continued to read the information about the Chaos-level techniques.

" *Shenguang Jing* (Divine Light Scripture)?"

Soon, Jiang Xuan discovered a special technique. This technique was extremely high-level. Even among these one hundred and nine Chaos-level techniques, it was considered top-tier.

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The true special aspect of the *Shenguang Jing* was that it mainly cultivated the soul. If one could cultivate it to a certain level, one could even produce divine soul light. Wherever the light shone, it would be a soul pure land, which could isolate all soul-related powers.

"If the Desolate Jiang Xuan could cultivate it to great success, could he envelop those great powers in the soul pure land and isolate the Yuan Laoren's (Old Man Yuan) methods?" Jiang Xuan thought, while also calculating its feasibility. "...It's a viable method!"

Moreover, the *Shenguang Jing* specialized in cultivating the soul. It was the strongest method for cultivating the soul in his known range. It would be of great use to Jiang Xuan in any world.

For example, for Wuji Jiang Xuan, if he wanted to transcend that world, he first had to reach the ultimate perfection of essence, qi, and spirit. However, among the methods currently mastered by Wuji Jiang Xuan, there wasn't one that could be cultivated to that level, while the emergence of the *Shenguang Jing* happened to fill a gap.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan naturally chose this method.

"The second one... I'll choose this *Mieshi Jian Dian* (World-Destroying Sword Canon)."

Jiang Xuan quickly selected the second foundational technique. He had already decided to cultivate the sword dao. Since he could obtain a Chaos-level sword dao secret canon here, he would naturally take it.

Moreover, this *Mieshi Jian Dian* was simplified from the *Mieshi Shisan Jian* (Thirteen World-Destroying Swords), one of the three great palace-guarding techniques of the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace. It elucidated the path of the sword, directly pointing to the Chaos realm.

One should know that the *Mieshi Shisan Jian* was personally created by Tianyu Laozu. It was said that with the thirteenth sword, one could destroy a Sacred Realm. That kind of power was unimaginable. Even if the *Mieshi Jian Dian* was just a simplified version, it was still the most top-tier among the many Chaos-level foundational techniques.

"As for the third..." Jiang Xuan flipped through the techniques one by one. He could only obtain three out of more than a hundred top-tier inheritances. One could imagine his mood, so he was very entangled now, not knowing which one to choose.

"I'll choose it, *Sanqian Huashen* (Three Thousand Avatars)!"

This inheritance was the dao of the illusory realm, and it was also a different kind of avatar method. If one successfully cultivated it, one could split off an avatar with a single thought, and the avatar's strength wouldn't be too weak.

Taking Jiang Xuan as an example, if his strength was at the True God Ruler level, then the avatar he split off with *Sanqian Huashen* could also reach the threshold of the True God Ruler level.

This also meant that if he cultivated this inheritance to great success, he could split off three thousand avatars with a single thought, and each avatar would have a combat power at the True God threshold level.

Of course, it was impossible to cultivate to great success at the True God level. This was a Chaos-level secret technique inheritance. Not to mention great success at the True God level, it was extremely rare to achieve great success in the Chaos realm.

However, just mastering the basics was very useful to Jiang Xuan, because this inheritance didn't require the help of too many precious divine objects to cultivate. It could be used in any realm.

...

With the three Chaos-level foundational techniques selected, Jiang Xuan also asked the white-haired old man to give him the complete inheritance of these three techniques. Afterward, he didn't leave but chose to cultivate in seclusion in the thatched hut.

This thatched hut was a cultivation place specially left by Tianyu Laozu for purple-robed disciples. The time could be accelerated to ten thousand times, and even the prayer mat inside was a treasure. Sitting on it to cultivate would greatly improve one's comprehension and cultivation speed.

"Let's begin..."

Jiang Xuan first focused his mind on the *Shenguang Jing*. This was a soul cultivation secret canon, with many mysteries and endless profundities, which couldn't be refined in a day or two.

Time passed. A full thirty thousand years passed in the thatched hut before Jiang Xuan finally ended his seclusion. Thirty thousand years was longer than all of Jiang Xuan's cultivation time combined. The many mysteries caused countless insights to emerge in his heart.

"The higher the realm, the slower the speed of improvement." Jiang Xuan thought. It took less than ten thousand years for Wuji Jiang Xuan to reach the Heavenly Venerate level from a mortal, but wanting to transform again and transcend a universe, no matter in which world, couldn't be done in a short time.

"In comparison, my world, which can change the flow of time for cultivation, is the most useful."

Being able to change the flow of time for cultivation meant that within the same time, he could comprehend more and accumulate more. Perhaps these accumulations in his world weren't enough for him to take it a step further, but converting the many insights to other worlds might allow himself in other worlds to take it a step further, thereby allowing himself to transform.

In the thatched hut, during these thirty thousand years, in addition to cultivating the three Chaos-level foundational techniques of the Tai Xu Heavenly Palace, he also deduced all the methods of the various worlds to the limit of his own comprehension. Unless his comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth and the myriad daos could break through, it wouldn't be possible to deduce these methods to a higher level.

"Creak!"

Having reached a limit, Jiang Xuan didn't need to continue cultivating in seclusion, so he pushed open the door and walked out.

Now, only three years had passed outside, but for Jiang Xuan, this was a real thirty thousand years of time. In these thirty thousand years, he also allowed himself to reach the true peak of the Kai-Pijing realm. Even if he hadn't broken through to the True God Ruler, his strength could easily crush his former self.
