Chapter 356 The Venerable One's Pride!
"Since the Venerable One thinks so highly of me, I must help even if I don't cultivate." Although Zhou Ze was excited inside, he remained relatively calm on the surface.
He never expected that Venerable Guiyi would be so decisive, coming over to request guidance immediately after he guided True King Yan to break through to the Venerable realm.
Venerable Guiyi's smile widened: "You're too kind. I'm the one asking you for a favor. Your attitude makes me uncomfortable, haha."
Seeing Zhou Ze's demeanor, Venerable Guiyi felt even more favorably disposed towards him. He knew how much his teacher valued Zhou Ze, yet Zhou Ze's respect for him had remained unchanged since he was a child, which was truly remarkable.
He truly deserves to be called the founder of the mental cultivation method.
Zhou Ze's smile was like a warm breeze: "There's nothing to ask for or not ask for; it's all about discussion and mutual progress. When I guide others, I'm also improving myself."
"Venerable Guiyi, besides this matter, you seem to have other matters to attend to?"
Venerable Guiyi nodded and said, "I'd like to ask you what your current situation is? Since you were able to guide Venerable Zhenyan through his breakthrough, you must have already comprehended the laws of space, right? But why do I feel that you're not a Venerable? That's very strange—"
Zhou Ze said, "I have indeed comprehended the laws of space, but due to some circumstances, I am not yet a cosmic venerable, or rather, my divine power has not yet reached the venerable level."
Since it concerned personal privacy, Venerable Guiyi did not ask further, but kindly reminded him:
"If possible, you'd better not break through to the Venerable realm yet!"
Zhou Ze asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
Venerable Guiyi explained, "If it were anyone else, they would directly become a Venerable. But if it were you, you could advance in time and space simultaneously. Once you become a Venerable, your divine body becomes part of the ocean of spatial laws. In that case, it will be extremely difficult for you to comprehend the laws of time!"
"Whether you're a Space Venerable or not, the difficulty of comprehending the laws of time is a thousand times, ten thousand times greater!"
Zhou Ze suddenly realized, "Is this the same principle as a Realm Lord who can enter the Origin of the Universe to comprehend the laws, thus achieving the fastest comprehension speed?"
Venerable Guiyi nodded: "More or less. Realm Lords can enter the Origin of the Universe, have the closest connection with the Origin of the Universe, and have the clearest understanding of the Laws."
"After becoming immortal, not only will you no longer be able to enter the origin of the universe, but even if you gain the recognition of other laws and can communicate with the ocean of laws through the imprint of laws, your divine body will become a part of another ocean of laws, and your consciousness and will will be closely connected with that ocean of laws. If you try to comprehend other laws, you will be rejected!"
"This is also why the Law of Fusion is thousands or even tens of thousands of times more difficult to apply than individual Laws of Time or Space!"
"Once you become a Venerable One, your divine body will become part of the laws of time or space. If you want to comprehend another law, the difficulty will probably be thousands of times greater than that of the Immortal stage, and no less than comprehending and fusing laws."
Zhou Ze nodded and said, "I understand."
Venerable Guiyi laughed and said, "With your talent, you can fully comprehend the two superior laws at the Immortal stage. Breaking through to the Universe Lord will be much easier then. Of course, comprehending the two superior laws is only one of the basic conditions for becoming a Universe Lord, and it is often one of the most difficult conditions."
"Of course, there are too many necessary conditions to become the master of the universe. Even if everything is ready, there is still a trigger. Many universe overlords and countless eras have failed to grasp that trigger."
Zhou Ze chuckled and said, "Senior Guiyi, you think too highly of me. I'm still quite a distance from being a Venerable, and the Lord of the Universe is far beyond my reach."
"You've been preparing for this. I'm rooting for you!" Venerable Guiyi smiled slightly.
"Well then, I'll accept your kind words, senior." Zhou Ze smiled.
For others, it would indeed be a problem, but for Zhou Ze, he has never had the opportunity to enter the origin of the universe. His current understanding of the laws is purely due to his comprehension and speed of comprehension.
As for the repulsion between laws, it wasn't very obvious when he comprehended them. Perhaps this could be considered a kind of compensation for not being able to enter the origin of the universe. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
He is now only missing the Law of Time to fully comprehend the Ten Fundamental Laws.
However, when creating his own secret techniques, he gained a deep understanding of the repulsion between laws, let alone their fusion.
It's hard to imagine how difficult it would be to become the ruler of chaos in the future and to integrate the ten fundamental laws into the laws of chaos.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to take it one step at a time. You can't give up trying to understand it just because it's too difficult. With the cheat code, his goals are much bigger.
After seeing Venerable Guiyi off, Zhou Ze's lips twitched slightly, inwardly complaining. So that's what it was about. He had thought Venerable Guiyi had really come to ask for his guidance.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Venerable Guiyi usually seems peaceful and approachable, but don't forget that he is the personal disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, an absolute genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, and a great being who has long held a high position.
How could I so easily swallow my pride and ask him for guidance?
The more talented and powerful a person is, the more arrogant they become, not to mention someone like Venerable Guiyi.
"Speaking of which, Venerable Zhenyan is indeed decisive, straightforward, and true to his nature—"
"Of course, it's also possible that he's just become a Venerable and is a bit headstrong—"
At this moment, Zhou Ze gained a deeper understanding of the pride of the strong.
After all, even a cultivator like Hong, whose mental state had reached the third level and was comparable to an ancient sage, couldn't bring himself to ask Zhou Ze for guidance back then, let alone the strongmen in the universe.
"In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough. If I were the Lord of the Universe right now, Venerable Guiyi wouldn't have any psychological burden at all—"
Zhou Ze had initially thought that some Venerables might come to seek his guidance, but now it seemed impossible. How could those Venerables possibly seek guidance from a stranger of the same level? Every one of those Venerables was arrogant, and even if Zhou Ze could truly guide them, they would not be willing to lower themselves.
"However, being able to guide those who have reached the King level is already quite good. Among those who have reached the King level, there are countless peerless geniuses. Even among those peerless geniuses who appear only once every tens of millions of epochs, two-thirds of them do not become Venerables."
After calming his slight disappointment, Zhou Ze went to the Chaos Stele to begin comprehending the Law of Time. It wasn't enough to just understand the Law of Space; he also needed to understand the Law of Time.
In the game "Immortal King," there are quite a few players who specialize in the laws of time.
On the other side, Venerable Guiyi, who had just returned to the inner palace from the Holy Master's Mansion, felt somewhat uneasy.
"I still can't let go of my pride. Zhou Ze can definitely guide me, but for some reason, when it really comes down to it, I just can't bring myself to ask."
"Being too proud to admit defeat is why many people would rather suffer than relinquish their status."
Venerable Guiyi felt somewhat stifled.
"If only Zhou Ze would offer to give me guidance, I could easily agree to it."
