chapter-1067
Luo Feng was filled with amazement. He thoroughly appreciated the intricate and delicate engraving picture of the miniature universe. Time passed, and the godly power consumed in 90 seconds was equal to that of the Remote Ocean body at the height of more than 55,000 miles. However, Remote Ocean body could withstand it easily.
“This… Is this?”
Luo Feng had made the shocking discovery that the engraving picture could be disintegrated, and small engraving pictures showed up after the disintegration. Each of the small engraving pictures was an engraving picture on the 64 beast god sculptures. After the disintegration, 92 small beast god engraving pictures showed up, and many of them were identical. However, they all came from the engraving pictures of the 64 beast god sculptures.
The 92 beast god engraving pictures were like components, making up a single mechanism after being combined. There were countless threads connecting all the pictures, and the connections were natural and perfect, comprising a miniature universe.
“How could this be?” wondered Luo Feng. “64 engraving pictures combined to form an engraving picture of a miniature universe?”Luo Feng suddenly saw a new door open! If he didn’t know those 64 beast god engraving pictures, the miniature universe engraving picture would be too intricate for him to understand. However, now that he was viewing it as beast god engraving pictures… they were much easier to understand. It was just a combination of 64 engraving pictures.
“Incredible,” said Luo Feng.
He was mesmerized. He had not realized, until now, that there was another way to understand the incredible inherited technique.

Inside the original universe flew an ordinary spaceship.
“This disciple of mine has a Remote Ocean body that has reached the perfect life gene level even before he became undying,” Sitting Mountain Guest whispered in the spaceship. “He must have been bestowed a supreme inherited technique. As for supreme inherited techniques, they hold the top spot among all the techniques in the universe, and all of them are perfect. As for those 64 engraving pictures! They’re the perfect embodiment of eight inborn beast gods. The eight beast gods stand for eight merge laws. Universe operation laws can be classified into gold, wood, water, fire, ground, light, wind, lightning, time, and space… However, they can also be classified into eight merge laws.”
Sitting Mountain Guest smiled. He had already reached the pinnacle level possible in the universe, and he could see everything clearly.“All of the highest-level techniques can be disintegrated into 64 engraving pictures. As for those that are inferior, they can’t even rival one beast god engraving picture. They do not qualify. Luo Feng is examining those 64 beast god sculptures, and he knows those 64 engraving pictures… Once he performs his supreme inherited technique, he’ll realize the connection between the supreme inherited techniques and the 64 engraving pictures. He’ll start with the engraving pictures and create techniques using those pictures.”
He doesn’t even need to understand those engraving pictures, Sitting Mountain Guest thought. All he needs to do is remember those engraving pictures and their structures! And with the engraving picture he got from his own supreme inherited technique… he can totally try that! Once he succeeds, it will be possible for him to create a simplified technique of a supreme inherited technique. And if he can actually succeed, it means he’s a high achiever in engraving pictures. Using those 64 engraving pictures as elements, there were great beings who did that before the Grand Nirvana. If Luo Feng can also accomplish something in that field, and together with his ordinary law training, he’ll make many more improvements. Plus, he is able to better see the origin of the universe.
Sitting Mountain Guest was making a huge bet! No one had succeeded on the path of engraving pictures since the original universe came into being.
The main reason for this was that only a few were qualified to see the 64 engraving pictures. Even those who saw them couldn’t understand them. However… Before the Grand Nirvana, some great beings had succeeded, which meant that the method was possible. Different methods supported each other, but they all led to the same end, the origin mystery of the universe.
You’ve come so far after only 100,000 years, Sitting Mountain Guest thought. And you survived the life-or-death inheritance. Now, I’ll give you a billion years. Let’s see whether you can make some accomplishments on engraving pictures.
Engraving pictures training had always been a secret. After all, the time of the Grand Nirvana was immeasurable, and even before the Grand Nirvana, only a few practiced engraving pictures.

Obsessed… Luo Feng was completely obsessed.
He hadn’t expected those 64 engraving pictures to form such an incredible technique! He had always thought that “I Am the Universe” was so powerful and intricate that he couldn’t possibly understand it. However, he could now! It was the combination of those 64 engraving pictures, and some of them overlapped with each other, leading to 92 engraving pictures.
“Does that mean the combination of those 64 engraving pictures result in significant power?” Luo Feng immediately started to study it.
******
At the peak of one of the mountains in the Beast God Sector.
Ancestor appeared and looked down.
“Weird… Why does he keep drawing engraving pictures?”
Ancestor watched from a distance and saw one engraving picture after another forming around Luo Feng, who sat in front of a gold beast god sculpture with his legs crossed.
“He’s been drawing the engraving pictures for 10,000 years?” said Ancestor, thoroughly confused.
******
Luo Feng found the combination of the engraving pictures to be unpredictable and mysterious after studying all of them. If he made a mistake, the power would tumble. However, Luo Feng was randomly combining different engraving pictures based on the engraving picture of I Am the Universe, and he had created dozens of techniques. Most, however, were weak, and only one of them could rival an undying technique. It came close to the third move of Star Map.
This thrilled Luo Feng. He now understood that the engraving pictures were a new path! And it might be his only chance to defeat Ancestor body within a period of 100,000 eras.
Luo Feng started with a random drawing. There were billions of ways for law threads to be combined for I Am the Universe. He started by randomly copying and simulating without rules, but after 10,000 years of trying, he had successfully created some weak techniques. He also understood the differences between different combinations.
Based on his extensive practice, he extrapolated the possibilities, and from the possibilities, he extrapolated his theories.
In the first 100,000 years, Luo Feng worked by trial and error. He only created two techniques that could rival the third move of Star Map. He did, however, discover some patterns after all those trials.
Luo Feng decided to concentrate on the eight engraving pictures of the Gold Beast God while temporarily giving up the other 56 engraving pictures. Based on his 100,000 years of trial and error, Luo Feng was most accurate when randomly combing the eight engraving pictures of the Gold Beast God.
After a million years, Luo Feng started to understand the mysteries of the engraving pictures of the Gold Beast God. After ten million years, he completely understood the mysteries and power of the combinations of those engraving pictures. Of course, it was only the tip of the iceberg compared to the engraving picture of I Am the Universe… But finally, Luo Feng completely comprehended it.
During those ten million years, Luo Feng accidentally created an ultimate technique for universe knights. Although he didn’t understand the theories behind it, he remembered the way to perform it, just as he did with his inherited techniques. He memorized all the law threads and was able to perform it instantly, which was theoretically impossible!
Law threads required users to understand the fundamentals of them in order to be performed—unless they were sculpted in the mind, like inherited techniques. However, Luo Feng didn’t need to perform all the law threads. All he needed to do was perform several engraving pictures and combine them!
The implications were profound! Luo Feng found the engraving pictures to be mysterious. It might be a unique and unusual way, but it was a highway to the top!
“Did Master Sitting Mountain Guest know this before?” he wondered. “Is that why he led me into the Beast God Sector? Why haven’t I heard of anyone among us humans who has practiced it? Why have I never heard of this practice method?”
Luo Feng was sometimes baffled by these many questions.
“For what it’s worth, it’s an incredible practicing method.
Engraving pictures were like components. If the universe was a skyscraper, the components were the individual resources combined to create the whole… And there were many ways to build a skyscraper.
So far, Luo Feng had found 900 million ways to combine the engraving pictures, and he could perfectly manipulate more than 100,000 of them. It was a path that was completely new to him, so he could only explore it all by himself. The more he studied it, the more combinations he knew and manipulated.
Luo Feng forgot about the passage of time; he was immersed in the engraving pictures of the Gold Beast God.
Time flew by. Ten million years, followed by another ten million years. Luo Feng frequently went to watch the beast god pictures of the Gold Beast God and studied them.

At the peak of the tallest mountain in the Beast God Sector, Ancestor looked down, frowned.
Luo Feng had been in the Beast God Sector for 180 million years, and Ancestor could tell from the way Luo Feng trained that he was following the path of engraving pictures, a path that led to the top.
I might lose this time… thought Ancestor.
“Sitting Mountain Guest is indeed impressive,” he said. “He was aware of this way to practice, and he was certain that his disciple would succeed on that path.”
Ancestor also speculated that the disadvantage of that path was that it didn’t have a strong foundation. However, if one was lucky enough to have inspirations, he could create terrifically powerful techniques.
“Hmm…”
Ancestor’s face became grave.
