Chapter 1271: Chapter 544 Unsolved Mystery, The Arrival of the New God Zhong Part 2

Therefore, he and the Realm Lord of the Three Woods were equals in friendship.

"Let’s see when you can step into the Yangshen Third Level, achieve great freedom, and great leisure," said the Realm Lord of the Three Woods, his figure flashing and turning into the likeness of a mischievous child. However, this child had white hair and eyebrows, exuding an air of aged wisdom.

"Difficult," Feng Ti answered.

Even in the Great Venerate Realm, he had grasped the heart of the rules, but to transform it into the true Cosmic Rules and inscribe it in the Universe was particularly challenging.

He had been trapped in this realm for a hundred million years.

"Your cultivation time is still short; this is nothing. I myself was stuck for twelve billion years," said the Realm Lord of the Three Woods.

"Tell me, what did you really come to find me for?" Feng Ti asked gravely, looking at the Realm Lord of the Three Woods.

Realm Lords possess nearly endless lifespans; their souls persist even when Universes perish.

A trace of the True Spirit remains forever, and upon the start of the next Era, it will awaken once again within the Cosmic Rules.

The Realm Lord of the Three Woods had lived through three Eras and, despite his eccentric personality, he must have a significant reason for coming.

"Recently, I’ve heard an interesting piece of news. At the Radiant Conference, a Feng Ti created in your image... actually lost to a native of the Divine Wood Universe," said the Realm Lord of the Three Woods, his eyes narrow with a triumphant expression.

Feng Ti was his ageless friend, and the Realm Lord of the Three Woods often compared himself to Feng Ti, bearing a grudge that Feng Ti was ranked third in strength among those who had mastered the Skystep Five Steps in the current Cosmic Epoch.

"Oh, is it a legend?" Feng Ti mused, his tone nonchalant.

After all, the Divine Wood Universe was just a Cosmic Embryo, so the emergence of some true Heaven Prides was not surprising.

But whether those Heaven Prides could grow up was uncertain.

In his own generation, there was a Heaven Pride whose strength was greater than his.

In the end, that peer had perished before even stepping into the Realm of Sun God.

"Not exactly... it’s a Venerable... perhaps even a Venerable," the Realm Lord of the Three Woods said, a brilliant smile in his eyes.

Finally, a flicker of interest showed in Feng Ti’s eyes, "What, are you interested in him?"

Such an individual spurred Feng Ti’s thoughts of taking a disciple, though he only entertained the idea.

After all, that person was a life from the Divine Wood Universe, and even if he stepped into the Sun God Realm within the Radiant Universe, it would be difficult to reach the Yangshen Third Level.

Because the rules of the Radiant Universe wouldn’t recognize him.

However, for those beings who had been stuck at the Sun God Second Level for billions or even tens or hundreds of billions of years, that individual might be of interest.

"The waters of the Divine Wood Universe run deep; the Dao Lord has decreed that Realm Lords must not enter the Divine Wood," said the Realm Lord of the Three Woods.

Realm Lords who have merged with Cosmic Rules could provoke hostility from other Universes if they rashly descend upon them, potentially triggering special events.

Thus, Realm Lords rarely leave their own Universe.

After all, their own Universe is so vast and boundless that a regular Realm Lord wouldn’t be able to explore it fully in several Eras.

"My pupil, ah, he’s always striving to be the strongest; he’s been wanting to become the number one in Skystep Five Steps strength of the current Epoch..."

The Realm Lord of the Three Woods had an exceptionally talented pupil, who was only in the Great Venerate Realm.

Because of the Realm Lord of the Three Woods’ constant mentioning, that pupil had always aimed to surpass the young Feng Ti.

"This time, his true body is heading to the Divine Wood Universe to measure himself against that native.

Hehe, what do you think, if my disciple wins, doesn’t that mean... you’re not as good as me?" The Realm Lord of the Three Woods chuckled mischievously.

That was his true motive for coming here.

For beings of their realm, becoming stronger was exceedingly difficult.

Adding some enjoyment to life is what really counted as happiness.

If his disciple surpassed the young Feng Ti, it would be a happy event worthy of being recorded in the annals.

"Hmph, aren’t you afraid your disciple will die in the Divine Wood Universe?" Feng Ti scoffed.

"If he dies, it’s no big deal. I’ll simply go and beg... the Time Lord to fish out his True Spirit from the Cosmic Mother River," the Realm Lord of the Three Woods said nonchalantly.

Universes with and without Dao Lords are hugely different.

In Zhou’s Universe, without a Dao Lord, if a life perishes and the True Spirit is annihilated, it is truly dead.

However, once a Universe births a Dao Lord, a Cosmic Mother River will appear, and all True Spirits are recorded by it.

Even if a life perishes, it can still be resurrected from the Cosmic Mother River using great means.

Of course, the Realm Lord of the Three Woods did not possess such means, but the Time Lord was a Realm Lord of the All Things Realm, powerful enough to fish a Great Venerate out of the Cosmic Mother River.

"Boring," Feng Ti snorted coldly, "Even if your disciple wins, you’re not my match in the Great Venerate Realm, not even ten of you!"

He proudly stated.

"Hmph, if I hadn’t been born earlier, maybe I could have grasped the heart of the rules in the Great Venerate Realm too!" the Realm Lord of the Three Woods argued.

In every Cosmic Epoch, the civilization of cultivation progresses gradually.

In the current Epoch, there have even been instances where a Great Venerate has grasped the heart of the rules.

Such a thing was unimaginable in the Realm Lord of the Three Woods’ Cosmic Epoch.

"Old man, if you had been born in my Era, you wouldn’t even qualify to be my disciple!" Feng Ti boasted proudly.

"Tch, my disciple is stronger than you!" the Realm Lord of the Three Woods said arrogantly, "Wait for my good news."

With that, the Realm Lord of the Three Woods vanished from sight.

In this place, only Feng Ti remained, his expression complex.

Just then, a voice sounded by his ear.

"How about it, do you want to leave the Radiant... and follow me in search of..." The last few words seemed to have been muted.

Feng Ti remained silent, not responding.

"A Universe with a Dao Lord... is nothing more than a stagnant pond, no future to speak of," the voice continued to tempt.

A sharp look flickered in Feng Ti’s eyes, "So, a Universe like the Divine Wood Universe has a future?"
