Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 527: A seed that Zhou Ze casually scattered actually possessed the potential to become the L

"Perhaps you've seen too much of life and death..." Zhou Ze looked at the Lord of the Wasteland and said, "But that's no excuse for indulgence..."

"Furthermore, Huang Jian, how can you believe that there aren't any outstanding geniuses among the slaves, or any geniuses with the potential to become masters of the universe?"

Zhou Ze calmly said, "Leaving aside myself, Hong, and Lei Dian, if it weren't for that opportunity, we would all have become slaves..."

"A seed I casually sowed during my 20,000 years of 'wandering' in the universe has become the number one ranked genius today!"

Amidst everyone's slightly surprised gazes, Zhou Ze had a thought, and a three-dimensional figure appeared above the stone table.

"This is a seed that I casually sowed when I was 'wandering' in the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom. It and its home planet were controlled by slave owners. This planet, which originally belonged to the life-bearing planet recognized by the Universe Kingdom, became a slave farm for breeding and selling because of some insignificant interests."

"This little guy comprehended the laws at the planetary level, and with his peak planetary level power, he burned his soul power to fight against and kill a subordinate of a peak-level slave master!"

"If he hadn't met me, what good would his talent and comprehension have done? In the end, he would either have been fleeing the stars until his lifespan was exhausted and he still wouldn't have been able to find another habitable planet, or he would have been captured and disposed of by the slave owners. After all, his aptitude was too outstanding, and the slave owners didn't even dare to sell him."

Zhou Ze sighed.

Moody's aptitude is even superior to that of Hong and Thor, and his talent in mental state is no less than theirs. He is definitely a potential future master of the universe.

"I thought I would see him again in that battle of the top geniuses, but I didn't expect that he was targeted by the Blood Demon King and was willing to destroy his own foundation rather than break through to the realm master level."

"Oh, by the way, I casually passed on to him the introductory secret method of 'Mental Cultivation,' and he successfully mastered it. Huang Jian, do you still believe that outstanding geniuses cannot emerge from among slaves?"

The Lord of the Wasteland was unable to refute it for a moment and felt frustrated.

The Chaos City Lord said with slight surprise, "I never expected such a little fellow to have such a tragic fate!"

"More than that," Zhou Ze scoffed. "Back then, after rescuing him, I even dumped him near the Ancient Wheel Sect on the Ancient Wheel Continent."

"We thought the Ancient Wheel Sect would take it very seriously, but who would have thought that some of the sect's higher-ups were connected to the Blood Demon King and gave it to him!"

Peng Gongzhi, his eyes blazing with fury, exclaimed, "This is truly despicable! Such a peerless genius, who could be considered a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch talent, has been destroyed just like that. Fortunately, he has been discovered now."

"More than that!" Zhou Ze chuckled. "Engineer Peng, do you really think that only one in ten thousand epochs can cultivate the basics of mental state?"

"Few of you here have even scratched the surface, right? Among the cosmic venerables, only the former ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has truly grasped the basics!"

When Zhou Ze mentioned him, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom laughed and said, "Teacher, I didn't expect to have a talent for the mental cultivation method. However, among the Venerables, I should be the only one who has entered the door. Uh, Junior Brother Luo doesn't count..."

Luo was a later arrival, and had already entered the realm of mental cultivation long before the Venerable One.

The Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect this little fellow named Moody to have actually entered the realm of mental cultivation!"

"He possesses the potential to become the ruler of the universe!"

For the Lord of Chaos City, his greatest wish was to promote and glorify the human race. He was selfless; his acceptance of disciples wasn't for factional disputes, but rather to cultivate pillars capable of supporting his people.

"Chaos? What do you mean by that...?"

"Chaos, can one become the master of the universe simply by mastering the basics of cultivating one's mental state?"

"Chaos, really? Is it real? Is it really that exaggerated?"

The previously quiet Lord of the Universe suddenly became lively after hearing what the Lord of Chaos City said.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and said, "You haven't even scratched the surface of the Mind Cultivation Method, so naturally you don't know how heaven-defying this Mind Cultivation Method created by the Holy Master is. But I have, and even my teacher, the Primordial Ancestor, has grasped it, and his realm is far higher than mine!"

"If I wasn't entirely confident I could break through to become the strongest in the universe, I'm now somewhat confident..."

"Moreover, the Mind Cultivation Method is the most heaven-defying secret technique I know of. It has immense benefits for the divine body, soul, and amplification in every aspect. It's no exaggeration. Those who can even begin to cultivate the Mind Cultivation Method have limitless potential for the future!"

"Moreover, each level possesses extremely unique abilities! The entry level is merely the foundation. If one can reach the second level of mental state, as long as their willpower doesn't surpass yours by much, they will be no match for you!"

Even the teacher lamented that if he had encountered the mental cultivation method earlier, he wouldn't have been trapped!

The Chaos City Lord's words immediately made everyone present, including Giant Axe, feel a little itchy.

Especially the giant axe, he has unconditional trust in the Primordial Ancestor and the Lord of Chaos City. If he can successfully cultivate it, wouldn't he be able to roam freely in the cosmic sea with his will?

Just like the original ancestor, even without the most powerful treasures, he could still achieve strength surpassing the strongest beings in the universe.

It seems I need to pay more attention to mental cultivation methods in the future.

It wasn't just the giant axe; other universe lords also took it more seriously to varying degrees.

Zhou Ze then spoke up, "Talent and comprehension can be directly improved through treasures, but willpower and temperament can only be cultivated by oneself!"

"That's why I'm hosting this Genius Battle, which only tests willpower and mentality."

"However, there's one thing Chaos might misunderstand..."

Zhou Ze paused slightly, then smiled and looked at the Lord of Chaos City, whose tranquil eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

"Perhaps you and the Primordial Ancestor both underestimated this mental cultivation method, and also underestimated me..." Zhou Ze smiled slightly.

"The greatest benefit of mental cultivation methods is their ability to steadily and effectively improve willpower, rather than passively enhancing it through purely primitive methods of life-and-death trials!"

"It's like the effects of martial arts techniques, secret manuals, and secret methods on people. The difference between someone who only uses their instincts and someone who has practiced martial arts techniques and secret methods is like heaven and earth."

"Those who are beginners in mental cultivation methods are like people who previously could only improve their willpower and character through life-and-death trials, now receiving a legitimate cultivation technique. Even without experiencing life-and-death trials, they can still improve through the technique!"

"As we all know, there is great terror between life and death. Facing life and death can promote the evolution of a person's body, genes, soul, and even their level of life!"

"But never forget, a real life-or-death crisis means you really can die, which is why it's so difficult to improve fundamentally in the virtual universe! Because there's no risk of death..."

"But in reality, death is the end of everything. Countless geniuses throughout history have perished, many of whom were no less talented than any of you here today, yet they are still dead!"
