Chapter 1204 - 711: Truth Unveiled, Innate Deities, the "Light" of the Cosmos!
The words that followed were somewhat vague, because she didn’t understand things like Laws, so she really couldn’t make it clear.
Meng Chuan had practiced them; he would definitely grasp the general meaning...
At the same time, after listening to Cui Yunyu recount the whole story, nothing showed on his face, but inwardly he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Cui Yunyu came looking for him purely to remind him that he didn’t need to hold back; in the matches he could use the power of Laws—Divine Power.
However...
As his Realm rose, Meng Chuan had long since stopped fearing the exposure of the fact that he cultivated the Cosmos methods.
So when Cui Yunyu mentioned it just now, his response wasn’t flustered in the slightest.
In this human world, his connections and status were already completely different from before.
Even though Cui Yunyu was a Four-Directions Warden, if he had objections to Meng Chuan cultivating the Cosmos methods, he still wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
But clearly Cui Yunyu didn’t think like that; instead he’d specially come here today just to "urge" him to use it...
Why?
"Could it be related to the powerful opponents I’m going to face later?"
Meng Chuan now was far too sharp...
In an instant he guessed some "truths".
But he didn’t ask Cui Yunyu.
The other party’s wording was vague, obviously because what he said today was skirting the boundary of the rules’ definitions; asking more would be discourteous...
However.
Meng Chuan would not follow Cui Yunyu’s advice and reveal the Cosmic Laws in the competition.
He wasn’t afraid of exposing that he cultivated Laws; he was afraid of exposing exactly which Law he cultivated...
Terminal Ruins of the End, All Laws Vanished—
Supreme Destruction!
Out of tens of billions of spectators there would always be some who recognized it, not to mention that the human world was riddled with holes; this grand tournament would definitely draw the attention of the Cosmos invaders as well.
No matter how carefully he tried to use it... it would be pointless.
Once this information spread, the entire Cosmos would probably come hunting him, seeking to obtain an Evolution Method capable of absorbing Destruction power!
It wasn’t Meng Chuan scaring himself, crying wolf.
Back then in the Red Fiend Nest, Big Buddha Head had witnessed him using the power of Destruction.
Even when he later lay dying with only a remnant spirit left, he still hid himself in the Duo Wen Celestial King’s Dharma Crown to set him up, all for the sake of the Destruction Law...
That was the Shaolin Temple!
From this you could see how immense the lure of Destruction was to the abominations of the Cosmos.
Back when his master first led him into the Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill, that whole set of teachings passed down by Patriarch Luo Fang.
Ever since his master went to the Cosmos, Meng Chuan had sealed all of it away, storing it in the Magic Mirror under his own care.
That was precisely to prevent the Root Chapter of Tao Heart Demon Planting from leaking by accident.
The tortoise shell engraved with the incomplete Chapter, Meng Chuan also carried with him, but the shell was far less important than the former.
Without cultivating the Root Chapter, no one would link a Demon Skill that draws in others’ Spiritual Power with the Supreme Destruction Law.
...
After listening to the elder nag on for half a day, Meng Chuan saw Cui Yunyu off, and his heart had made its decision.
"At the supreme conference they said, no one may probe the Law I cultivate, not even my guarantor, Principal Sui..."
So did Principal Sui know or not...
If he didn’t know, then why add such a clause? That was what made it strange...
But it didn’t matter; Principal Sui would never be harmful toward him—on this point Meng Chuan was completely certain.
In the future he could use Laws openly and uprightly, however!
With the Cosmos invasion intensifying, the more frequently he used them, the higher the chance of exposure.
Though he could use them, when unleashing Destruction Divine Power he had to use it with method, use it cleverly...
For example, like the way Star Annihilation looks after he Weaponizes Himself...
Meng Chuan believed that even if the Purgatory Divine Master "Wrath" watched from up close, he still wouldn’t see that this move traced back to the Destruction Law.
So the power of Destruction, after Weaponizing Himself, could be used.
If directly using it would cause the Supreme Law to be exposed, then he’d have to prepare to Transcend and leave Blue Star, starting the great escape through the Cosmos...
...
While he was thinking, time unconsciously flew by.
Rising from the Team Divine Mat, Meng Chuan walked into the bathroom, stripped off his clothes to reveal a flawless physique, and slid into the constant-temperature spring water.
It was precisely after thinking things through today that he gradually came to understand many things that had puzzled him before.
Why was it that when cultivating Tao Heart Demon Planting in the Red Refining Banner, his Qi Blood rose so fast?
His previous understanding had been rash and superficial.
"Wrath" was an Upper-Rank Law among the branches beneath Destruction, and the "Demonic Qi" within the banner was of the same origin, far denser than what existed outside.
So the efficiency of Qi Blood conversion was high.
But in fact it was far from that simple.
"The cells in my body, after I entered Tao Heart Demon Planting, have already been subtly changing all along, able to absorb the Cosmic Energy flowing between heaven and earth.
While cultivating this method in the human world, I thought I was absorbing Yuan Qi, but that was utterly wrong..."
What exactly is Cosmic Energy?
This was also intel Meng Chuan had obtained when he’d previously pondered how his punches and techniques absorbed the Cosmos’ Qi current, and consulted the materials.
Cosmic Energy is a blanket term.
From the information passed on by the Dragon Realm, he learned that, like Yuan Qi, it was a term coined by people.
What is its essence?
Several Tier Eleven Dao-proven powerhouses and cosmologists once asserted that the source of Cosmic Energy lies in the "light" that pervades the Cosmos.
The birth of light must be traced back to that great explosion during the Cosmos’ initial birth period, countless tens of thousands of years ago.
After that explosion, the Cosmos turned from cold to scorching hot and extremely dense, with energy transforming into large numbers of free photons.
Yet the movement of these light particles was trapped within the Cosmos’ structure, that dense plasma soup of high temperature and heat produced after the great explosion.
Light could not take even an Inch Step; the Cosmos was pitch black, completely entering a thirty-eight-thousand-year-long Cosmic Great Dark Age.
Until, as the Cosmos’ temperature fell with time, the light particles were no longer imprisoned.
They spread freely, bringing vitality to the Cosmos.
And having been "stifled" for too long, that violent burst of energy first created one Innate cosmic god after another.
They were born extraordinary; according to the Cosmic Energy conferred by "light", they each took up their duties and ruled the stars.
For example, Pangu, the vanished master of the Pangu Divine Hall, and the projection of Shanghao beyond Blue Star...
Later, the power of light gradually stabilized, silently illuminating the Cosmos.
Having gone through extreme cold and intense heat, the Cosmos became gentle, suitable for living beings and all things to multiply and thrive.
They were unwilling to merely survive under the rule of the Innate gods—or perhaps it was the upward instinct of life itself driving them.
They tried to make use of the Dao Laws of light and the Cosmos to carry out the evolution of life.
Each leap in life was essentially a mutation of the physique.
Tier Seven was like a fixed vertical line drawn by the Cosmos; if one broke through to Tier Eight, the essence of life would undergo a huge leap, and the ultimate meaning it represented—
Eternal life and immortality!
After those lofty reflections, Meng Chuan turned to his current matters.
Ever since he studied the Western path of life evolution, he understood more.
Westerners did not refine Qi Blood, nor did they absorb Yuan Qi—so how did their strength rise bit by bit? How did their Evolution Methods advance?
Any cultivation system still has to conform to the physical laws of the Cosmos.
Energy neither comes from nothing nor vanishes into nothing; it merely converts from one form to another, with its total amount always remaining constant.
Just like when practicing Fist Skills and drawing in Yuan Qi to convert into Qi Blood, the energy of Yuan Qi is turned into the energy of Qi Blood stored in the body.
By reverse deduction, one can see that when Westerners cultivate Evolution Methods, and when Meng Chuan cultivates Tao Heart Demon Planting, what the body is absorbing is precisely this Cosmic Energy.
Because the "light" that carries Cosmic Energy is everywhere.
