Chapter 257: Flash of Inspiration
“Finally?”
Ray chuckled as he willed the red panel to change before him.
The mutation energy was gone, replaced entirely by Chaos Qi. However, that wasn’t the important part.
Scanning through the shop, his eyes gleamed when he noticed something—he could now purchase comprehension of the principle of Chaos.
“With my power, very few things are actually useful. Even if I buy a higher-level skill, it’s not worth it. But if I could increase my cultivation tier to Thirteen directly, then…”
His eyes gradually brightened before his figure vanished into his private seclusion.
Without hesitation, he focused on the two cultivation points and decisively used them to advance.
“Ho.”
At once, a pure stream of Chaos Qi surged through his inner world, nourishing his divine tree.
Gradually, golden fruits began to sprout from the branches.
Ray was momentarily overwhelmed as a flood of information surged into his mind, nearly rendering him unable to think.
The fruits on his divine tree grew steadily—one after another, then two, then three.
By the time the fourth golden fruit fully formed, a breakthrough occurred. Ray ascended to Tier Eleven, and though the transformation couldn’t be quantified, he could distinctly feel the improvement in the very essence of his being.
Even his perception of the world had shifted, and his efficiency in harnessing strength had increased significantly.
If he had previously been able to exert a punch force of 100 kg, that same punch would now carry the weight of a thousand kg. With his breakthrough to Tier Eleven, it increased further to 1,200 kg. This wasn’t because his strength control wasn’t enough but his understanding of his entire world has changed.
The principles he had comprehended became even clearer, and the questions that once puzzled him now unraveled as he took another step toward becoming a universal being.
The golden fruits on his divine tree grew larger and more vibrant, and then, one by one, more began to sprout.
From four to five, five to six, six to seven.
They continued to grow until sixteen fruits adorned the branches—at that moment, Ray broke through once more, ascending to Tier Twelve.
And with that, his growth came to a halt.
After a brief moment of stabilization, Ray snapped open his eyes and stood up, letting out a light sigh.
“I still have a long way to go.”
Although his comprehension of Chaos had reached a high level, it was still far from its limits. He wasn’t confident he could wield it even be used effectively against someone using Universal Detachment, let alone defeat it using it only.
As he pondered this, he suddenly paused. A spark of inspiration flickered in his mind.
His thoughts drifted back to the dimension he had gained through his Space skill.
He had considered it before but never had the means to implement his ideas. Now, with his cultivation significantly advanced, his understanding of his inner world had deepened—and its structure bore a striking resemblance to his personal dimension.
“Until now, it hasn’t been my strength holding me back but the limits of the universe itself. But if I can use the universe within me as my foundation, drawing power from it, then those limits won’t matter.”
Ray’s eyes lit up with newfound determination. His motivation to cultivate surged—he would need to reach at least Tier Thirteen before he could bring this idea to fruition.
Without hesitation, he commanded his bot to assist in further progress, analyzing the feasibility of his plan.
However, Ray knew one thing with absolute certainty—attempting to attain Godhood would trigger something terrifying, an event that could threaten his very existence.

This wasn’t mere speculation; it was an instinctual warning from the depths of his soul. And he had no intention of gambling with it.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. Outside, Universal Beings were being slaughtered one after another, yet within Ray’s base, everything remained eerily peaceful—like the calm before the storm.
The cultivators understood all too well the terrifying consequences of betraying the Heavenly Dao. Yet, in pursuit of strength, they were willing to do anything. Besides, Lord Ray was just as terrifying—if not more so.
Emerging from seclusion, Ray rubbed his forehead, a trace of exhaustion in his expression.
“Although the testing is nearly complete, I still need to make more progress in my cultivation.”
As he stepped into his bedroom, the faint fragrance of flowers drifted through the air. The soothing scent washed over him, bringing his mind to a state of quiet peace.
He glanced at the cold jade beauty lying on the bed. She wore a red hijab, her long legs adorned with mismatched stockings—one black, the other white.
Her curvy hips and slim waist formed the elegant outline of a hill, but it was her ample chest that truly captured the eye, a tantalizing sight difficult to ignore.
“Disciple?” Ray tilted his head.
“Master…” Luo Shuchun lowered her head, her voice soft, her demeanor both shy and endearing.
“What are you doing here?”
“I… I want to…”
“To what?” Ray chuckled. She had been one of the first to join his forces, yet he had never laid a hand on her. Mostly because he had been too preoccupied—and truthfully, he never felt the need.
“I want to do it with you, Master.” She bowed her head, her body trembling ever so slightly.
Ray’s expression remained calm as he gazed at her.
“Tell me, why should I?”
Ray narrowed his eyes and lifted her chin, revealing her delicate face, lightly adorned with makeup.
“Are you hiding something from me?” His eyes glowed with divine light, forcing her to avert her gaze.
“Tell me.”
His tone was firm, almost aggressive.
“Okay, Master…”
She could only respond meekly before finally speaking the truth. “I had a childhood lover who wanted to become stronger. So he went to the Yin sect, but… but…”
Ray was momentarily stunned. Releasing her chin, he pulled her into a warm embrace, his lips brushing against her ear, making her blush.
“But what?”
“He was killed by those bastards.”
“I see. So you want revenge?”
“Yes.” Her voice carried the weight of deep-seated anger.
“How strong are they?” Ray shook his head, already sensing the answer.
“They belong to one of the strongest sects in the cultivation world.”
Ray’s eyes flickered with meaning. “And you intend to do this alone?”
“Yes.” Her resolve was unwavering.
“Then please me. If you can, I will grant you power beyond imagination.” Ray’s voice was commanding, filled with undeniable dominance.
Luo Shuchun wiped away her tears, her determination solidifying. Slowly, she removed her clothing, revealing her curvaceous figure before lying on the bed, her legs forming a tempting “V” shape.
But Ray didn’t move.
Instead, he shook his head and turned away, leaving the room without a word.
“Master?” she called out, astonished.
Ray didn’t reply. The door shut behind him with a firm thud, leaving her flabbergasted.
This woman had merely been trying to use him. Why should he go along with it? Perhaps in his early days, he might have entertained the idea for power, but now? He had no shortage of women, nor did he have time to waste on her.
She was indeed a cold jade beauty, but she wasn’t as rare or intriguing as the master and disciple pair he already had. Pursuing her felt unnecessary, even odd.
Without a second thought, Ray left her behind and made his way to the disciples of the old woman he had revived. Unlike before, he now spent his time leisurely, indulging in their company at his own pace.
In just a few weeks, he had already won over every disciple, capturing not only their favor but their hearts. The old woman could only watch in speechless disbelief.
It wasn’t just her personal disciple, or even her disciple’s disciple, who had succumbed to him. Nearly all of them now bore the same infatuated look, leaving her utterly helpless.
Of course, she wasn’t to blame. Ray’s absolute power, coupled with his experience in dealing with thousands of women, had long made him a seasoned veteran in such matters.
