Chapter 84: Dust World Vessel
Chapter 84: Dust World Vessel
Jiang Zhe first pulled out the first volume of the Secret Manual. Its general principles weren’t listed separately but were compiled together with the explanation of the first esoteric spear technique.
The general principles mainly discussed methods for cultivating Time Law and improving efficiency in practicing this secret art… The rest detailed the story of Ying Jun Wang, a king-level limit warrior who had mastered three Time Law esoteric techniques and stood on the brink of becoming a Time Sage. Unfortunately, he perished in a special Universe Secret Realm.
Jiang Zhe mused that Ying Jun Wang’s failure to be resurrected might stem from insufficient value or the Realm’s unique prohibition against reversing time.
No matter—this Secret Manual suited him perfectly.
Though merely a foundational guide for cultivating Time Law, the endorsement of a king-level limit warrior elevated its worth. He estimated its value exceeded the Vermilion Blood Secret Canon, placing it between several thousand to ten thousand points.
While such points were trivial to a Qianwu-level powerhouse, Jiang Zhe understood this was still a significant investment in his potential.
After all, when someone gives you ten thousand dollars during hard times, you shouldn’t scoff at it like a heartless ingrate.
Jiang Zhe browsed the first volume.
Since he’d already mastered the first Time Law esoteric technique, he grasped the spear art within two hours.
Eight hours later, he mastered the second spear technique!
Two days later, the third!
Five days later, the fourth!
Fourteen days later, the fifth!
Sixty-eight days later, the sixth!
One hundred thirty-four days later, the seventh!
Holed up in his basement for over four months, Jiang Zhe finally paused after exhausting his accumulated insights.
He felt refreshed, like enjoying a popsicle on a sweltering summer day.
Finger outstretched like a spear, he carved mysterious curves in the air before thrusting forward—a stream of light shot forth, blinding in its speed.
Withdrawing, he struck a second finger.
This time, time itself seemed distorted, leaving layered afterimages that obscured the true trajectory.
Satisfied, Jiang Zhe nodded, tidied his messy desk, and asked, “Anna, how long has it been?”
“Master, it’s October 23, 2066.”
Jiang Zhe slapped his forehead. “Too absorbed in cultivation—I forgot to check on the arena battles. How did they end?”
“During the chaotic elimination rounds, they all passed unscathed,” Orianna reported.
“Hong narrowly defeated a martial artist who’d entered the Principle realm, securing the first qualification spot.”
“Luo Feng faced Rong Jun. In the final moments, both unleashed spatial illusions simultaneously, resulting in mutual destruction. Luo Feng lost by a hair and entered the cycle wars.”
Jiang Zhe nodded. Before obtaining his Demoncore Race Doppelgänger, Luo Feng had already breached the Space Law threshold—proof his teachings bore fruit.
The three-year cycle wars would be the ideal time for him to refine his Space Law Comprehension. He could freely experiment with combat techniques infused with Space Laws against worthy opponents—a luxury solo cultivation couldn’t offer.
“As for Lei Shen… After entering the cycle wars, my Doppelgänger mentored him for a while. With the Law Engraving Plate, he managed to touch the Thunder Laws faintly. His application is still crude, but he’s steadily improving. His metamorphosis potential is immense.”
Jiang Zhe calculated—Lei Shen had a real shot at qualifying.
“Master, I’ve analyzed the data. Among the defeated groups—including Luo Feng—49 warriors have breached the Principle realm. For Lei Shen, who’s mastered basic Principle applications, they pose no threat.” Orianna concurred.
After greeting his family, Jiang Zhe watched Luo Feng and Lei Shen’s matches. Both finished their fights decisively.
Afterward, the three reunited at Luo Feng’s home.
Inquiry revealed no one had approached Hong to become his disciple.
Jiang Zhe pondered—anyone entering the top 1000 was practically considered Qianwu Monarch’s property.
To repay debts to his race, Qianwu Monarch used these geniuses as collateral, prohibiting other factions from establishing martial arts halls within Qianwu Cosmic Nation.
These 1000 candidates were untouchable prizes—no wonder even Luo, a Domain Lord, couldn’t snatch them.
The four had a small gathering. After spending five more days with his family, Jiang Zhe returned to cultivating Time Law.
He paused his Thunder Primordial Law studies, but his 55th esoteric technique was sufficient for Huisuo’s Hand applications.
Luo Feng once faced a similar dilemma—his Space Law Comprehension was sufficient, but his Gold Law cultivation lagged, hindering his Yan Shen Weapon’s full potential.
The Mechanical Race’s method of quantifying Law Comprehension had its merits, but Jiang Zhe preferred the human approach—honing combat techniques to enhance cultivation.
Despite his “alchemy” talent revealed by the Prismatic Light Points, Jiang Zhe remained somewhat technologically averse. He happily used tech but had no interest in dissecting its inner workings.
While his Silver Robe Yuan Shen focused on Earth and Void Primordial Laws under Huisuo Behemoth’s supervision, Jiang Zhe couldn’t rely on him for distractions.
Stroking his stubbled chin, Jiang Zhe decided:
He would study the Shadow Monarch Spear Canon and the silver metal plate himself, while assigning his Zhu Zhao Doppelgänger to cultivate the Law Engraving Plate.
As for the 90,000-kilometer “Miniature Star,” how could one achieve precise control?
This was a common challenge for massive special lifeforms—size brought clumsiness. The Nine You Sea, World Tree, and Li Volcano all faced this.
They required a Doppelgänger!
The Nine You Sea created energy bodies for mobility and expansion. Zhu Zhao's Doppelgänger had a similar technique, though not energy-based. His method, akin to Soul Transference, was called the "Dust World Vessel" and required sacrificing a living being.
“Anna, contact HR Union. Find me a death-row prisoner from Europa’s prison—War God Rank minimum, the stronger the better.”
“Also, summon Earth’s faction leaders to Jiang Clan for a meeting. We need to discuss immigration.”
The order spread. Within two hours, HR Union delivered a mid-tier apprentice-level white prisoner.
Orianna verified his record—he was guilty, deserving death.
Using illusions to control him, Jiang Zhe led the prisoner to his Bracelet Inner World, beneath Zhu Zhao Doppelgänger.
Under the Enlightening Radiance’s intense illumination, the prisoner’s soul shattered, becoming a fanatic worshiping Zhu Zhao as god.
A crystalline tetrahedron Core dropped from Zhu Zhao, merging into the prisoner’s body and soul.
The prisoner’s power skyrocketed.
Stellar-Level 1st Stage… 2nd… 9th!
Stellar-Class 1st Stage… 2nd… 9th!
When he reopened his eyes, his essence was transformed—a Zhu Zhao-controlled “Dust World Vessel.”
The Vessel followed Jiang Zhe back to the Machinery Factory’s central tower.
Replacing Jiang Zhe at the workstation, it began studying the Law Engraving Plate and silver metal plate using its ultra-precise Time Law Comprehension.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhe’s true body attended Earth’s leadership meeting, focusing on cultivating the Shadow Monarch Spear Canon in virtual space.
Jiang Clan’s influence on Earth was unmatched. Within five hours, global leaders gathered.
Orianna constructed a virtual space for the conference.
“I have access to Qianwu Cosmic Nation’s territory. In its affiliated Qianboluo Star Region, ten star systems containing nearly five million habitable planets belong to me. I’d like to offer immigration opportunities…”
After contact with the universe, Earth’s nations longed to escape this barren backwater. Jiang Zhe now handed them the ladder.
First: Jiang Clan would organize free migration using hired spacecraft!
Second: Each immigrant received full sovereignty over a habitable planet!
Third: A planet hosting over ten million Earthlings earned a 100 million Qianwu Coin subsidy!
Fourth: Each planet received a Stellar-Class Ninth Stage slave as guards!
Fifth…
Sixth…
You’re not colonizing to struggle—you’re becoming overlords! Let’s use my Jiang Clan’s resources together. Aliens are unreliable; we can only trust Earthlings.
Worried about Qianboluo’s Mingying Star System being too distant?
No problem— nearby migration options exist. Luo Feng will soon rule the Milky Way Galaxy, offering 210,000 habitable planets.
Tempting bait after bait—Earth’s factions saw no reason to refuse.
The populous Hanxia Kingdom naturally sought its share.
Afterward, Jia Yi approached Grandmaster Jiang, then sought Jiang Zhe.
“Uncle, do you think struggling on alien worlds is better, or staying here with Jiang Clan and Luo Family?”
Jia Yi, astute and cunning, sensed traps in the “immigration plan.”
After a moment’s thought, he decided on cautious support.
After securing better terms from Jiang Zhe, he planned to send only 20% of Hanxia’s population—only to the Milky Way, not distant Qianboluo.
Under Orianna’s Doppelgänger’s management, the migration plan proceeded smoothly.
…
Four years later.
Hong deepened his Light Law mastery, breaking into the Principle realm.
Luo Feng and Lei Shen steadily climbed the ranks via cycle wars, securing spots within the top 275.
Jiang Zhe remained engrossed in Time Law cultivation, progressing at a blistering pace.
Hanxia Calendar, September 5, 2070.
The Earth quartet embarked once more.
Teleported from their homes, they arrived at a Floating Island above Qianwu Mainland.
