Chapter 408 The Primordial Ancestor Escapes!
Like the ability to become intangible, the ability to create illusory clones is also an application of the branch of illusion, and the two have the same source of power.
Therefore, since one can escape the cage set up by the original will through illusory transformation, it is natural that one can also let illusory clones leave through the gaps.
Although the original ancestor's main body cannot escape for the time being, the illusory clone also contains the original ancestor's will, and he can even project most of his will into the clone.
Furthermore, although the illusory clone is illusory, it can still perceive, cultivate, and even experience all aspects of life normally, making it almost indistinguishable from a normal clone.
In the original story, after the primordial ancestor arrived on the Origin Continent, he relied on his illusory clones to travel outside and comprehend the Great Dao.
It can be said that by projecting a phantom clone outside the cage, for the Primordial Ancestor, apart from his main body still being trapped, he was almost no different from his state after being released.
That's why the original ancestor and Chen Yuan were so happy. After all, even if it was just a clone, it was still better than being trapped in that small space forever.
However, the only problem now is—
"Grandmaster, you've comprehended the power of illusion; are you now able to condense illusory clones?"
Chen Yuan inquired.
If you look closely, it was about seven hundred years ago when he first transmitted information about the power of illusion to the Primordial Ancestor.
However, the amount of Dao power transmitted that time was not much.
If the illusory branches contained in the eternal virtual universe account for one-tenth, then the illusory branches contained in the void-level secret arts account for less than one percent.
It has only been a little over a year since the second data transmission. The time is too short, which is why Chen Yuan is worried about whether the Primordial Ancestor has a sufficient grasp of the power of illusion.
"If I weren't confident, why would I have brought up this method?"
The Primordial Ancestor smiled faintly and explained, "Although I have only been comprehending the power of illusion for a little over seven hundred years, don't forget that we have also merged with the origin of the virtual universe twice, which adds up to 31 years."
"During the fusion with the origin, my efficiency in comprehending the power of illusion skyrocketed; one day of comprehension was equivalent to one year in the outside world."
"Therefore, the time I've spent comprehending these illusory powers has actually exceeded an entire epoch!"
The Primordial Ancestor looked at Chen Yuan, who seemed to be deep in thought, and smiled: "I am confident that I can master the etherealization over ten thousand eras. A mere illusory clone is more than enough for one era."
After listening, Chen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the former number one person in the Cosmic Sea, I admire you."
Honestly, if he didn't have the system's help and relied solely on his comprehension to understand the power of illusion, he might not be able to match the level of the Primordial Ancestor.
Of course, that's also because his willpower wasn't strong enough. After all, the Primordial Ancestor already possessed an Eternal True God-level will, and his efficiency in comprehending the Great Dao was definitely stronger than that of the Void True God.
If the two are placed on the same level, based solely on their level of comprehension, they are currently at most roughly equal.
However, Chen Yuan was not discouraged. After all, his comprehension was not strong at the beginning, and his rapid cultivation in the early stages was entirely due to the system supporting him.
However, he did not fail to grow. As he comprehended more and more secret patterns and the power of the Great Dao, his comprehension also increased steadily. In just a few thousand years, he grew from an ordinary person to someone with comprehension comparable to the Primordial Ancestor.
Moreover, the further he progresses, the faster his comprehension will improve. After all, the power he comprehends now far surpasses that of cultivators at the same level, which greatly enhances his comprehension.
Chen Yuan believed that as long as he continued to cultivate, his comprehension would eventually surpass that of the original ancestor.
"Since our master has confidence."
"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Then this disciple will naturally accompany you. Grandmaster, you can start preparing now. Once everything is ready, this disciple can open the external passage for you at any time."
"Yes." Yuanzu nodded gently. "I'm all ready, but there's one more thing I need to tell you."
"Please speak, Master."
"Regarding the Origin Will," the Primordial Ancestor's expression turned slightly serious, "just now, my true form sensed the arrival of the Origin Will."
"Although the other party only came to check briefly and seemed to find nothing unusual before leaving, we still need to be vigilant."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan wasn't surprised by this. After all, he had opened the Primordial Ancestor's suppression ground without authorization, which was a violation of the operating rules of the original universe. It would be strange if the Primordial Will didn't come to see.
In any case, as long as one does not defy the rules in front of the original will, or leaves no evidence afterward, the original will is like an incompetent husband, only able to watch helplessly as the rules of the universe are repeatedly disrupted by it, yet unable to find any problems.
So Chen Yuan simply nodded and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Grandmaster, I will be careful."
"It's good that you're confident."
The Primordial Ancestor didn't know much about the powers of the Primordial Universe and only mentioned it out of concern. Seeing Chen Yuan's confident expression, he also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He nodded and said, "My main body is ready, you can begin at any time."
"OK."
After saying that, Chen Yuan had a thought and, with the help of the power of the Origin Land, turned his gaze back to the place where the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed. Sure enough, he saw that the Primordial Ancestor's true form had awakened.
"Grandmaster, I'm beginning."
He whispered his voice, and the primordial being in the cage clearly heard it and nodded slightly.
Chen Yuan then confidently activated his authority, shaking the rules set by the original will and creating a crack in the cage that suppressed the primordial ancestor.
"Grandmaster, hurry up! You only have one second."
Knowing that the Origin Will had been here before, Chen Yuan did not intend to keep the gap open for too long this time. After all, the longer it was open, the bigger the commotion would be, and the more attention it would attract from the Origin Will.
If it only lasts for a second, Chen Yuan is confident that he can clear out the beginning and end before the original will descends and retreat calmly.
"That's enough."
The Primordial One will appear soon. A faint, indistinct fluctuation immediately slipped out through the crack. As someone who also controls the power of illusion, Chen Yuan immediately sensed it.
"That's fine."
Almost the instant the progenitor spoke, Chen Yuan had already closed the rift, cleared away the remnants of his will, and then left the place.
At the same time, the original ancestor's main body also sealed off its consciousness and returned to a state of slumber.
A few seconds later, a powerful wave of will descended angrily, as it sensed the changes here once again!
This fluctuation naturally originated from the primordial will. Although it was not very intelligent, the fact that two unexpected events had occurred in this place of suppression had alerted it.
It came immediately upon the second discovery of the rule change.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan had already left and swept away all traces of his will, leaving no trace of the original will!
Thus, the primal will of anger only raged for a moment, because it could not find the thief who stole power, and even if it wanted to punish him, it could not find a target.
Just then, the primordial will turned its attention to the progenitor. Instinct told him that the changes in the suppression ground might be related to this only prisoner.
So the primordial will sent a wisp of consciousness fluctuation over, essentially asking the primordial ancestor if he knew if anything had happened at the place of suppression.
Upon receiving the information, the Primordial Ancestor found it amusing. This primordial will was far too naive. Did it not know what the Suppression Ground was for? It actually came to ask him, a prisoner, about it?
How could he possibly tell the Origin Will about such a thing? Naturally, he didn't even bother to answer. Seeing that the Origin Ancestor was unmoved, the Origin Will was furious but helpless.
There's no way around it; although the primordial will governs the entire original universe, it must still act within the bounds of the supreme rules, and there's no way to disobey it.
Although the Primordial Ancestor once violated the supreme rules, prompting the primordial will to exert its full power to suppress him, he has already paid the price for his rebellion since he was suppressed.
Without the permission of the supreme rules, the primordial will forbids any action against any living being!
The only ones in the entire universe who obey the will of origin are the high-ranking members of the Ancestral God Sect. Apart from them, any other powerful being can ignore the will of origin because they pose no threat whatsoever.
Therefore, the Primordial Ancestor was fearless. Since he had already been suppressed, the Supreme Rules would not bring up past grievances and would naturally not allow the Origin Will to attack him.
The primordial will is not very intelligent and can only act according to the rules. When it sees that the primordial ancestor does not listen to it, the primordial will is angry, but cannot think of any other way.
Ultimately, having no other choice, it could only leave a trace of its will here to keep watch. As long as that little thief who stole power dared to come again, it would definitely catch him and punish him severely!
At the same time, within the primordial space of the virtual universe, the illusory clone of the progenitor suddenly appeared.
"Congratulations, Grandmaster, you are temporarily out of danger."
Upon seeing the illusory clone of the Primordial Ancestor, Chen Yuan immediately offered his congratulations.
