Chapter 1408

Extremely Slow World, Lightning Speed.

Fast and Slow were two completely different Daos. It was as though they had opened up a whole new world for Gu Chen.

He had guessed correctly. The Origins of these two people were indeed of great help to him.

Another seven days passed.

At some point, the Wings of Time on Gu Chen's back suddenly shone brightly. The surroundings were shrouded in a dense glow.

The strange thing was that within the range of the glow, the flow of air was so slow that it almost stopped. Gu Chen's opened eyes also revealed a hint of a feeling that no matter how the world changed, he would still be as immovable as a mountain.

"The old turtle's Slow Origin is indeed powerful. In just a short seven days, it actually allowed the Space-Time Origin to cross two Heavens and reach the same level as the Nature Origin."

Gu Chen murmured to himself. He was thinking about what he had gained from refining the Origin.

Yang Yongxing's Lightning Origin had reached the eighth Heaven of the Dao Querying level. But for the Nature Origin, which had already reached the seventh Heaven, it had only improved by one level. The improvement was not even enough for it to reach the eighth Heaven.

But the old Black Tortoise's Slow Origin was different. The effect was extremely shocking. It directly raised the Space-Time Origin to the seventh Heaven of the Dao Querying level. The effect was even more shocking than the Chaotic Primal Stone.

Although the difference in Origin power between the eighth and ninth Heaven of the Dao Querying level was huge, the difference in effect still made Gu Chen ponder deeply.

The Slow Origin was a branch of the Space-Time Origin. The domain it involved was originally blank. It played a very important role in perfecting Gu Chen's Space-Time Origin.

On the other hand, although the Lightning Origin was also a branch of the Nature Origin, there were too many such branches. Wind, Thunder, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and so on. And he had previously absorbed such Origins.

From this, Gu Chen concluded that absorbing the branches of the original Origin would be more effective in perfecting the Origin, and the easier it would be to raise one's level.

"But one is at the ninth Heaven of the Dao Querying level, and the other is at the eighth Heaven of the Dao Querying level. The majesty of their Origin power far exceeds my level, but they still can't help me reach the ninth Heaven in one go. The aptitude of the Space-Time Origin and Nature Origin is indeed shocking."

Gu Chen secretly sighed. The more precious the Origin was, the more difficult it was to raise it.

The Old Black Tortoise's power, which had reached the Ninth Firmament, could only raise the Origin of Time by two Firmament.

It would only get harder and harder to increase the difficulty of the later stages.

Fortunately, even though cultivation was difficult, every time he increased his strength by a level, his ability to fight against those of a higher level would also become more terrifying.

His cultivation could no longer be measured by common sense. In terms of fighting ability, he could probably defeat most ninth tier Dao Querying cultivators.

If this were to continue, would he be able to surmount a major realm and kill a Daolord one day?

When Gu Chen thought of that possibility, he felt a sense of longing.

Henceforth, the soul was at the fifth Firmament, life and death were at the sixth Firmament, and the Origin of Time and Space were both at the seventh Firmament!

Gu Chen was very satisfied with the gains he had gained from this round of closed-door cultivation.

"I wonder how the evolution of the Dominating Cauldron of Origin and the butterflies is going?"

Satisfied with his own progress, Gu Chen began to think about other things.

The Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterflies had devoured the insect king, which was close to a half-step Daolord, and even its entire tribe. The Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo suppressed by the Dominating Cauldron of Origin was extremely mysterious. Gu Chen was looking forward to their transformation.

During this period of time, he had been engrossed in his own cultivation and hadn't carefully checked on their situation.

Gu Chen first looked into his dantian and extended his divine sense to where the Dominating Cauldron of Origin was.

He was completely stunned by what he saw.

Over the past two months, the originally grayish-brown Dominating Cauldron of Origin had gone through a huge change. At this moment, its entire body seemed to be made of gold, and it shone brightly.

There were more cauldron patterns on it, and every one of them was extensive and profound. Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see lightning flowing on them.

The Dominating Cauldron of Origin was still filled with chaotic aura, but the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo had completely disappeared!

Clearly, the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo had been completely absorbed by the Dominating Cauldron of Origin, and the Dominating Cauldron of Origin had gone through a huge change!

"Where did this Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo come from?"

Gu Chen's expression flickered. The Dominating Cauldron of Origin had evolved from the root of all things. He knew how special it was, and how difficult it was to make it undergo such a transformation.

In the past, it had absorbed so much chaotic aura, but it had only made the body of the cauldron tougher and added a few more cauldron patterns. When had it ever undergone such a huge transformation?

This could only be attributed to the fact that the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo itself was too precious. Its value was enough to make the Dominating Cauldron of Origin evolve greatly!

"How much has it evolved to?"

Gu Chen was extremely curious about the transformed Dominating Cauldron of Origin. With a thought, he summoned it from his dantian.

Just summoning it caused Gu Chen to feel that his spiritual power was being greatly depleted. If it wasn't for the fact that his soul had increased by three levels, it would have been very difficult for him to even summon it.

Whoosh.

The Dominating Cauldron of Origin appeared in Gu Chen's left palm. It was completely golden, and its surface was flashing with lightning. It looked many times stronger than before.

And the invisible and domineering aura that seeped out from it caused the restrictions that Gu Chen had set up in his side courtyard to crack and collapse. The surrounding space also began to become unstable, and spatial cracks began to appear!

Gu Chen was shocked. From the looks of it, if he used the Dominating Cauldron even a little, the Qian family's Patriarch's mystic realm would not be able to withstand it. It would most likely collapse!

He quickly put the Dominating Cauldron away. This place was really not suitable for testing its power.

"The Insect King and the head spirit were only able to surpass the other living beings in the mystic realm because of the Golden Lightning Bamboo's influence. And after the Dominating Cauldron absorbed the Golden Lightning Bamboo, it also evolved greatly. What is its origin?"

While Gu Chen was happy about the Dominating Cauldron's evolution, he was becoming more and more confused about the Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo.

It looked like just a stalk of immortal medicine, so why was it able to evolve both living beings and artifacts?

Gu Chen's intuition told him that there was something strange about it. Unfortunately, it had been completely refined by the Dominating Cauldron, so he could no longer pry into its secrets.

"Forget it. No matter what, the Dominating Cauldron's evolution has far exceeded my expectations. That's enough."

Gu Chen put aside the things he could not understand. He withdrew his divine sense from his dantian and extended it into a space within his body.

Within that space, there were tens of millions of Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies. It had been more than two months. How was their evolution?

As soon as Gu Chen's divine sense entered the space within his body, his expression changed again!

But this time, it was not a pleasant surprise. It was a shock!

Less than a tenth of the originally tens of millions of Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies remained. The ground was littered with their corpses!

Some of the remaining Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies were gnawing on the corpses of their companions. Some were biting each other.

This scene was like hell. The butterflies were actually killing each other!

"What's going on?"

Gu Chen was shocked. So many Demonic Heaven Devouring Butterflies had died. It made his heart ache.
