Mu Xing Country Lord (Part 2)

In the Virtual Universe, in the Original Zone, Bolan's training ground was a frozen wasteland.

Amidst the flying snow.

Bolan, dressed in a white robe and holding a blood-stained sword, practiced his swordsmanship amidst the snow. His swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, and his movements were unpredictable and elusive.

Call!

"Bolan." A cold voice rang out.

Bolan stopped abruptly, plunged the blood sword directly into the snow, and turned to look behind him.

A tall, thin man with narrow, snake-like eyes and an aura of law emanating from his entire body appeared in the icy snow.

"Teacher." Bolan bowed slightly.

Primal Secret Region Member are assigned a personal mentor, and the one before us is an Immortal God at the Marquis level.

"What? Lin Yan passed the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, while you only passed the second level. Are you feeling discouraged?" The man's cold eyes swept over Bolan. "Heh, foolish, utterly ridiculous."

"Lin Yan is now highly regarded even by those Universe Country Lords and Venerable level beings, while you haven't even passed the third level of the Tongtian Bridge, and you don't even have the qualifications to become a disciple."

Even if you manage to get through it, Lin Yan and Rong Jun both have Venerable level teachers, but those high-ranking experts still won't pay any attention to you.

The cold-blooded man spoke without a trace of mercy, sneering, "Bolan, do you still hold onto your ideas?"

Bolan was silent for a moment, then bowed slightly. "Teacher, I have figured it out."

Upon hearing this, the cold man's expression softened somewhat.

He said slowly, "I will help you find a way. You have just arrived in Chaos City. I will try to see if I can transfer you to the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele'. Maybe there will be a chance."

In his eyes.

Bolan's Space Law talent is exceptionally brilliant, so the most suitable thing for him should be the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele".

If he were to cultivate the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele," his cultivation speed would be much faster, and his foundation in comprehending the Space Origin Law would be very solid. He could quickly comprehend the first two diagrams and pass through the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge within a few years.

Bolan shook his head and said, "Teacher, there's no need."

"Hmm?" The cold-looking man frowned slightly.

"Several years ago, I began to comprehend the Wind Law, hoping to use it as a springboard to comprehend the Time Law," Bolan said in a low voice. "I admit that I did overestimate myself and had too much confidence in myself."

"But I don't want to give up the Universe Chaos Stele and choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele for these reasons."

"Lin Yan's performance woke me up and made me realize where I went wrong," Bolan said. "But I also know that if I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, I might still want to compete with him, because I made a decision that does not align with my own thoughts. I should always think about what I can gain."

"I don't want this to happen."

Bolan was like a child pouring out his thoughts.

"From the moment I first thought about comprehending the Wind Law, I wanted to walk this path. Since I wanted to, I shouldn't have given up so easily."

Bolan said softly, "Teacher, regarding the 'Universe Chaos Stele,' I have decided to deviate from the path of Space Law."

The "Universe Chaos Stele" cultivates both space and time, but even after billions of years, how many people can develop in both time and space at the same pace and at a similar speed?

Therefore, there are three methods to comprehend the Universe Chaos Stele.

One approach prioritizes time and uses space as a secondary factor.

One approach prioritizes space and uses time as a secondary factor.

One method involves cultivation that combines time and space.

The third option, if successful, is the most exaggerated and abnormal. Previously, Bolan chose to take the third path, but now, he has chosen to take the path that prioritizes space and uses time as a secondary factor.

This was his choice, and also his persistence.

"Congratulations on making a wise decision." The cold-faced man looked at Bolan, who had a serious expression, and a smile appeared on his face.

"If before I thought the chances of you becoming a super strong person were very low, now you finally have some of the mindset of a strong person."

He taught Bolan for three years and had a relatively deep understanding of Bolan. Although he was very talented, he was arrogant, haughty, and foolish.

"Since that's the case, then let's begin with my teaching plan," the cold man said. "You should be grateful that in previous years, your arrogance would have ruined you, but this time, you've met Lin Yan."

"He makes you realize that you are not as good as you think."

Bolan remained silent, a ripple appearing in his eyes.

Lin Yan...

He buried his competitive spirit deep inside, not wanting to be obsessed with immediate gains and losses, but ultimately he could leave it for the future.

The road ahead is still long.

Chaos City.

A building with an unusual style, where light and darkness are blended together.

In the quiet room on the third floor.

At this point, half a month had passed since he crossed the Tongtian Bridge.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged and slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy flashing across them. "In the secret manual of the Yun Mo lineage, the 'Control Chapter,' there are Nine Basic Arts: 'Condensation,' 'Dispersion,' 'Sharpness,' 'Resilience,' 'Softness,' 'Strength,' 'Dance,' 'Illusion,' and 'Fusion,' which emphasize the most subtle control of Mental Power."

Back on Earth, before Lin Yan came into contact with the Yun Mo lineage, his mental power was ineffective when applied to combat suits, and when applied to a person's body, it would simply merge into the suit. However, after mastering the Nine Basic Arts, his mental power became incredibly refined, heavier than Mount Tai pressing down, and sharper than a piercing arrow.

This is the foundation of Mental Power, Lin Yan has long since mastered completely.

"But after reading all these books left by King Tong Nan teacher, I realized that the research on Mental Power is so thriving. Even the most basic manipulation can be extended to such a depth!"

Of these 116 books, apart from "Heavenly Punishment," created by King Tong Nan himself, which is Soul-type Attack Secret Technique, the other 115 books are quite varied in content and cover a wide range of aspects. However, they are mainly explanatory, auxiliary, and research-oriented basic techniques.

Although they are called basic sets, each set is at least comparable to "The Tower of Void" and "Soul Seal", or even more valuable.

In one of the secret manuals, "The Deels' Secret Codex," the creator "Deels" states that much of humanity's research into the soul was obtained from the Zerg. Among the Six Great Peak Races in the Primordial Universe, the Zerg can be considered the most advanced race in the application of the soul.

Take the Immortal level Zerg Mother Nest as an example. The Zerg Warrior bred within it have no inherent intelligence and are all controlled by the Mother Emperor. In a one-on-one fight, they are much weaker than true Immortal God.

But they all share a common consciousness—the consciousness of the Mother Emperor!

The Zerg Mother Queen possesses extremely high intelligence and exceptional computational abilities, enabling her to control countless Zerg Warriors. Under the Mother Emperor's control, these Zerg Warrior can even unleash incredibly sophisticated attacks imbued with the laws of nature.

A single immortal being is far inferior to a true Immortal God, but the combined might of several thousand Immortal Zerg Warriors far surpasses the combined might of several thousand true Immortal God, making them incredibly terrifying.

Lin Yan's Green Line Devouring Worm Clone is very similar to the Zerg in many ways. For example, its talent "clone" is not like the clone that Lin Yan nurtured with crystal cores. It is the same soul, only the consciousness carrier is different.

Instead, it is a kind of "self-awareness" similar to the consciousness of Mother Emperor.

The Green Line Devouring Worm's consciousness carrier is the ten thousand Soul Source within its body. Each Soul Source is like a dazzling ball of light, and countless energy rays form conduits between them, creating a mysterious and unpredictable network.

At the core of each sphere of light is a tiny Black Hole, and each of these Micro Black Hole is connected to a separate part of the Green Line Devouring Worm. The Green Line Devouring Worm transmits its "self-awareness" through the Micro Black Hole, so the separate parts can act under the control of the "self-awareness".

When the Green Line Devouring Worm reaches its peak strength, it can Thousand Clones. The strength of these clones is not a fixed number, but depends on the ability of its "self-awareness" to control them. Whether it can control ten or a thousand at the same time, the difference is obvious.

For Lin Yan, his mastery of soul manipulation has a huge impact on his strength.

The cultivation lineage he had previously studied, the Yun Mo lineage, was still quite limited for Huyan Bo, who barely managed to be granted the title of Marquis, due to his own strength and the level of contact he had with others.

Now that we've entered this Original Secret Realm, that knowledge seems shallow.

During this period, Lin Yan read through these manuals and found that the Nine Basic Arts of the "Control Chapter" were described in a more rigorous and systematic way, with more profound content, which could effectively improve his ability to control his mind power.

Then he took out a book.

"Heavenly Punishment? I wonder in what form this Self-created secret technique of King Tong Nan teacher is presented?"

Lin Yan looked at the word "Heavenly Punishment" on the cover, then gently opened the book cover.

The content of the first page is—

"The 'Heavenly Punishment' is Sound Kill Secret Technique. It can adjust the syllables, concentrate the spirit and will into the sound, condense it and make it undispersed, shake the soul, hallucinate the soul, erode the soul, and cause great damage."

As Lin Yan read on, he learned more and more about this secret method.

This so-called "sound kill" does not actually involve producing sound with the vocal cords.

Soul Attack is the most effective arrangement and combination of psychic energy into an attack.

The "Myriad Sword Soul Seal" is a relatively iconic psychic attack, while "Heavenly Punishment" is even more sophisticated. This invisible sound wave cannot be heard by the ears, but it directly penetrates into the enemy's sea of consciousness, like thunder and the collapse of the sky, shaking and eroding, and causing a certain degree of hallucination.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. "This Soul Attack method has the highest requirements for Will and Consciousness, and the strength of Soul Amplitude."

"For me, this is a perfect opportunity to play to my strengths."

This secret method relies on Will and Consciousness, and the intensity of Soul Amplitude as a "foundation." The stronger the foundation, the easier it is to cultivate, and the foundation also determines the highest achievement.

Certainly.

Although the strength of the Soul Amplitude is valued, there are also requirements regarding the laws, the quality of mental power, and so on. If it is the Immortal Divine Power cultivation of Immortal God, it will naturally be much easier, while the World Power of World Master is much more difficult.

Lin Yan, however, is only at the Cosmic level, and his power is merely in the form of Mental Power, making it much more difficult. But since King Tong Nan personally created this secret technique, he must understand this point. The fact that he was able to teach it to Lin Yan must mean that he thought it was feasible.

Lin Yan read through the secret technique once, then closed the book. He decided not to rush into practicing the "Heavenly Punishment" technique for now, but to first lay a solid foundation using the basic techniques.

And--

He has more important things to do now.

"Wind Queen," Lin Yan cried out in his heart.

"Master, what's wrong?" Wind Queen immediately responded.

"Activate Virtual Universe Network reception." Lin Yan pursed his lips. "Now this matter should be settled."

"Yes, Master."

Wind Queen immediately activated the Virtual Universe Network to receive email notifications.

"There were a total of 127 emails and 5 call requests," Wind Queen said.

"Um?"

Lin Yan sensed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, those geniuses who came to Chaos City with him and whom he was more familiar with should have sent him emails, so the number seems a bit too small.

Lin Yan shook his head and smiled. Could it be... that he was just being presumptuous?

That seems unlikely.

He immediately separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain, Original Zone.

Lin Yan watched the screen, checking one email after another.

"The emails mainly came from Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Uka, and their group, but there was only one email from the Universe Venerable," said Lin Yan's virtual assistant, "Wind Queen."

"The Mu Xing Country Lord?" Lin Yan frowned slightly as he looked at the email in front of him.

In this email, the person known as "Mu Xing Country Lord" proposed to take Lin Yan as his disciple.

However, there was no coercion involved.

But... Lin Yan felt that this situation was somewhat strange.

If there were none, it could be explained that those Universe Venerable looked down on him, but there was only one letter?

"Let's ask King Tong Nan teacher first." Lin Yan thought for a moment, thinking that King Tong Nan should be able to find out some Inside story.

Lin Yan walked out of the quiet room on the third floor and went directly to the main hall.

True Yan King must still be here, chatting with King Tong Nan. For them, half a month is just a fleeting moment.

"Teacher." Lin Yan bowed respectfully.

"What? Is there a result?" King Tong Nan asked with a smile when he saw Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded. "Yes, a Universe Country Lord sent me an email."

"One?" True Yan King stared wide-eyed in surprise.

King Tong Nan frowned and said, "How can there only be one?"

"Who is this so-called Universe Country Lord?"

Even True Yan King and King Tong Nan found it hard to understand. With their knowledge, they naturally understood how extraordinary Lin Yan's talent was, and those Universe Venerable couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"It is the 'Mu Xing Country Lord'," Lin Yan replied.

"The Mu Xing Country Lord?" True Yan King's eyes lit up. "It's actually the Mu Xing Country Lord?"

Through the accounts of True Yan King and King Tong Nan, Lin Yan gained a basic understanding of the Mu Xing Country Lord.

The 1008 Universe Country Lord are all extremely ancient Universe Venerable.

After the number of Universe Country reached 1008, the human race never established another Universe Country because it did not have enough territory.

Zerg, Demon Race, Mechanical race, Human.

The Four Great Peak Races reside in what can be considered the best regions in the entire Primordial Universe! Creatures born from these regions possess even greater potential!

Although the Primordial Universe is vast, some territories are simply unable to nurture life forms with potential, while others can give birth to more powerful beings.

As for the continents in the divine kingdom or the Cosmic Secret Realm, although they are vast, the potential of the creatures they nurture is insufficient, especially the Divine Kingdom Humans, who are almost impossible to become immortal.

Thus, the Four Great Peak Races have been at war for countless years in their struggle for territory.

These 1008 Universe Nations were not established simultaneously; there was a significant time gap between them.

The Mu Xing Universe Country is one of the oldest Universe Country. Legend has it that at that time, the human race divided its territory into nine Universe Country, thus beginning the prelude to competing with other top races for territory.

The Mu Xing Universe Country is one of these nine Universe Country.

This history is incredibly distant, and even True Yan King and King Tong Nan would find it difficult to verify, as their authority was insufficient to search for valid information in the Virtual Universe Network.

"Lin Yan, do you remember those 52 Chaos Tablets?" King Tong Nan asked with a smile.

Lin Yan was taken aback. "Teacher, what do you mean?"

"Among those 52 Chaos Tablets, one of them was created by the Mu Xing Country Lord and is called the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele.' This Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele ranks among the top 20 of the 52 Chaos Tablets, or even higher," said King Tong Nan. "The Tongtian Bridge corresponding to the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele has 24 levels."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

If one can comprehend the laws and pass through the 21st level, one becomes Universe Venerable level. While the 24th level does not reach the "cosmic master" level above the Venerable level, one can be considered a "Universe Overlord" level powerhouse.

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele?" Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to the Mothership Planet? Could it be located in this Mu Xing Universe Country?"

In the vast universe, there are some planets that are mysterious or extremely famous.

Such as Manka Star, Augustus Planet, Mothership Planet...

Among them, the Augustus Planet, where Jiang Mo and Qian Shui were born, is known as the "mysterious land". However, the Mothership Planet is even more mysterious than the Augustus Planet.

"It should be related to the Mu Xing Universe Country," True Yan King said, shaking his head. "But it's not within the territory of the Mu Xing Universe Country."

"The Mu Xing Country Lord is very mysterious, and we know very little about him."

According to rumors.

On Mothership Planet, even the most ordinary tree is an "Immortal Tree" that grows "Life Fruit." The Kras Ancient Tree, which is extremely rare in the universe, grows into a golden forest there, filled with an incredibly rich life force, making it an exceptionally prosperous treasure land in the universe.

Although it's unclear how such rumors originated, they do seem to have some basis in fact.

At this moment—

"I just asked Long Yu," King Tong Nan suddenly smiled. "She told me that the Nine Swords Venerable had also sent an email to Lin Yan, but the email was retracted by the Virtual Universe System after Lin Yan turned off the Virtual Universe Network."

True Yan King was somewhat surprised. "The Virtual Universe System directly retracted the Venerable's email?"

This is simply unbelievable.

"Um."

King Tong Nan nodded, his voice revealing a hint of joy. "During his conversation with her, Nine Swords Venerable revealed that this was the intention of the Chaos City Lord."

"This matter may be an opportunity for you, Lin Yan."

He had just contacted Longyu King through the Virtual Universe Network. Longyu King and he were not only close friends, but also had a deep bond and even developed feelings for each other. However, they had not yet broken through that barrier. Although he understood the other's feelings, he still kept his distance.

They seem like friends, yet also like partners.

However, since he asked, Longyu King naturally wouldn't hide anything from him.

Lin Yan understood what King Tong Nan meant.

What is the identity of the Chaos City Lord?

The fact that they would intervene in such a matter, directly revoking the emails of the other Venerables but leaving only the Mu Xing Country Lord, clearly indicates their intentions.

Perhaps the Mu Xing Country Lord did not intend to force him.

But the Chaos City Lord...

It seems they don't want him to make any other choice.
