Sky Dome Star.

Unlike Viska Star, which was transferred from other Cosmic Secret Realm, Sky Dome Star is an ancient planet that evolved from the Original Secret Realm.

The "Sky Dome race" that emerged from this group is one of the millions of Energy-type Lifeform forms. It is a very strange life form that can change into countless forms and is not afraid of Soul Attack.

It's somewhat similar to the "Moshazhu Race," although it doesn't have the same powerful spatial talent as the Moshazhu Race, nor does it possess that strange "copying" talent.

However, the Sky Dome race is born with the ability to condense a drop of water within their bodies. This drop of water is generated within the "Life Crystal Core," and once used in battle, it can penetrate the enemy's Life Imprint, making it extremely powerful.

But--

Once this water droplet is used, the Life Crystal Core will gradually collapse, and it can only be used as a desperate last resort. Only after entering immortality will the Life Crystal Core decompose and completely merge with the body, so that it will not result in death after use.

When a member of the Sky Dome race dies, the water droplets will return to the "Sacred Lake".

The Sacred Lake was created in the unique environment of the Sky Dome Star. Every Sky Dome race's Life Crystal Core must be baptized by the Sacred Lake when they are born. The Sky Dome race are transformed by the Sacred Lake are born to be the darlings of the Water Law. They are extremely skilled in comprehending the Water Law and can unleash tremendous power.

As each generation of Sky Dome race members absorbed the "water droplets" generated in their Life Core into the Sacred Lake, the Sacred Lake's transformative power grew stronger, making the Sky Dome race's descendants even more gifted.

"There is only one mission on the Sky Dome Star, which is to collect 'Phantom Color Stone'. This mission is not very difficult, and the reward is not high."

Lin Yan pondered, "The secret of Sky Dome Star is actually quite obvious, it's the 'Sacred Lake,' but that area is very dangerous, and under normal circumstances, no one would choose to take the risk."

"Let's complete the mission first, then go explore."

Lin Yan made a decision. His system had not found any noteworthy special opportunities on Sky Dome Star, and in fact, he was not very interested in the "Sacred Lake".

However, the Sky Dome race has no soul. Although they are not afraid of Soul Attack, they are also unable to Soul Attack.

Therefore, as long as Lin Yan does not carry the Life Crystal Core, the Sky Dome race poses no threat to him whatsoever.

Since there's no risk, you can certainly give it a try.

The location of the "Sacred Lake" is not hidden; in fact, it is quite obvious.

On the horizon of the Sky Dome Star, there is always an incomparably magnificent glow, and this glow is produced by this.

"Sky Dome Star" mission (Dangerous Level).

Completed in 42 days, rewarded with 10,000 points.

"Divine Martial World" Quest (Dangerous Level).

Completed in 87 days, awarded 20,000 points.

Lin Yan calmed his mind, cultivating and honing his skills while seeking opportunities, and comprehending the laws and cultivating secret techniques during missions.

Although it was said to be completed quickly, it was only compared to Viska Star. Lin Yan did not leave immediately after completing the mission, but rather conducted some exploration, so the overall speed was not too fast.

According to the rules of the Virtual Universe Company, Cosmic level geniuses are assigned to Cultivation Mission, Domain Lord level are sent out to other regions, and World Lord level undergo Life and Death Hone.

Cosmic level geniuses can only take on a maximum of 10 missions every 100 years.

Furthermore, there is a limit to the total number of missions each person can accept. For example, a member of the Original Secret Realm Cosmic level can accept a maximum of three Desperate Level Mission missions and a maximum of fifteen Dangerous Level missions!

Even if one cultivates at the Cosmic level for thousands of years, the total amount is still this much.

Firstly, it's for safety reasons, to prevent these geniuses from being careless.

Secondly, there is the allocation of resources, because the minimum point reward for Desperate Level Mission is 100,000, and the maximum is one million, which is an extremely exaggerated number for Cosmic level.

Because they were all in the Original Secret Realm, the time spent traveling was saved, but it still took Lin Yan five years to complete all of these Dangerous Level missions.

This is mainly because I spent more than three years in one of the missions, "Ruined Ancient God Temple".

This is a ruined continent suspended in the void, shrouded in an eerie red mist. This mist contains a special toxin that has caused varying degrees of mutation in both humans and demonic beasts.

It can even easily lead to mental confusion.

The outermost perimeter of the Ruined Ancient God Temple was not very dangerous, and Lin Yan completed the mission requirements in just three days. However, the secrets hidden deep within were fraught with peril.

Lin Yan used his "Shadow" talent and the Green Line Devouring Worm clone to enter the dangerous area and explore cautiously.

It was a Tree Island.

Lin Yan discovered that this strange red mist was harmful to both humans and monsters, but it was incredibly nourishing to Plant Lifeform.

On that Tree Island, all kinds of plants are everywhere, with lush trees, bright flowers, and a large number of Plant Lifeform, making the scenery extremely beautiful.

Lin Yan discovered a poisonous pool on this Tree Island. The water in the pool was highly poisonous, yet it was also filled with strong fluctuations of the Law of Wood, and many poisonous Plant Lifeform grew around it.

At the time, he only felt that this environment might be very beneficial to the Green Line Devouring Worm.

Fortunately, although Plant Lifeform are far more powerful than humans of the same level, before they become immortal, they only possess simple consciousness and Rooting in the soil. They do not like to move, so under Lin Yan's caution, they did not cause any trouble.

He tried letting the Green Line Devouring Worm clone into the poison pool and found that the effect was even better than he had imagined.

Only after reaching the Domain Lord level can the Green Line Devouring Worm develop its second form and reach its peak in sensing the Space Law. When it is in its first form, "Qingfu Mengchong," its strongest talent is still the Law of Wood.

The Green Line Devouring Worm naturally secretes toxins within its body. Based on its understanding of the Wood Origin Law and other knowledge, it refines these toxins. This method of applying the Law of Wood has, to a certain extent, broken free from the constraints of inferior laws.

Lin Yan purchased three research books for this purpose: "Yu Luo", "North Factor" and "Overview of Ten Thousand Poisons". Starting with the Law of Wood, he conducted research along three routes: "Energy Toxin", "mental toxins" and "Biological Toxin".

However, the effect was not very good, because the martial artist's overall qualities are terrifying. After so many years of research, the toxin of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone can have a huge impact on even Domain Lord level, and low-level Domain Lords or Cosmic level will basically die upon contact.

But this level is meaningless.

This is because it is based on the toxins secreted by the Green Line Devouring Worm itself and an extremely high level of understanding of the Law of Wood. In fact, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone can easily achieve this by cultivating any secret technique.

Lin Yan's requirement was that it should at least be able to influence those at the World Lord level, only then would it have any meaning.

In that poisonous pool, the incredibly terrifying toxins almost caused the Green Line Devouring Worm clone to collapse, which surprised Lin Yan.

It should be noted that the Green Line Devouring Worm possesses terrifying physical attributes in all aspects. When it activates the Beast God Power, it is comparable to a human at the second or third level of the World Lord level. Moreover, it is extremely skilled in poisons and has a strong resistance to them.

Even a human powerhouse at the World Lord peak level would likely die instantly in this poisonous pool.

Every two days, the Green Line Devouring Worm clone would be completely corroded and needed to be replaced. The process was extremely painful, but it couldn't even affect Lin Yan's cultivation due to his current willpower.

Lin Yan simply returned to the outermost edge of the Ruined Ancient God Temple, and sent the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone into the Tree Island, constantly using his talent "Clone Technique" to switch between clones.

He purchased several more sets of research books along the way, spending 180,000 points even as Primal Secret Region Member. During this process, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's understanding of the Law of Wood and its mastery of toxins increased day by day, making rapid progress.

This training lasted for more than three years.

Lin Yan himself had no idea how potent the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's toxins were now; however, the Green Line Devouring Worm clone was no longer corroded by the poisonous pool.

Afterwards, he simply let the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone explore the Tree Island. Its combat power was far superior to Lin Yan's main body. After several twists and turns, it obtained a lot of valuable plant materials on the Tree Island.

But!

In the process of exploring the origin of the red mist, Lin Yan remotely discovered a special Plant Lifeform. Without daring to think about anything, he was so frightened that he fled in panic.

The Blood Demon Flower stretches for millions of kilometers!

It is definitely Plant Lifeform of the Universe Venerable level. In the Mission World of "Ruined Ancient God Temple", there is such a terrifying existence!

Among these five Dangerous Level missions, Lin Yan discovered opportunities hidden within four of Dangerous Level.

The "Sky Dome Star" Mission World.

Naturally, it was the "Sacred Lake" of the Sky Dome race. Lin Yan snatched the food from the tiger's mouth, using the Green Line Devouring Worm clone to attract attention while he himself became a shadow, secretly obtaining a considerable amount of the Sacred Lake's water.

Fearing discovery, he didn't dare to do too much.

Although this item is precious, it can only enhance the talent of the Water Law and is of little use to Lin Yan. However, Wen Zhi'an is a water-attribute martial artist.

To be honest, she was quite talented and had plenty of resources. Lin Yan had a Green Line Devouring Worm clone with her and often gave her personal guidance. Besides... there were also open classes available in the Doomsday Secret Realm.

More than a hundred years have passed, so it is certainly at the Cosmic level, and it has quite a bit of expertise in the Water Law.

The water of this Sacred Lake only needs a few more materials and treasures added to it to have a very good effect on her.

The "Divine Martial World" Mission World.

The objective is to win first place in the "Martial Arts Tournament" and obtain the title of "Martial Artist".

Lin Yan discovered through the system that the secret of the Divine Martial World was a "Divine Martial Treasury," which contained martial arts manuals and insights from powerful figures throughout history. He was interested in this, as it would be of considerable value to him.

After some investigation, it was discovered that one had to enter a special organization called the "Martial God Hall." Not only were the requirements for entering the organization high, but one also had to have a very high contribution value in order to be qualified to enter the "Divine Martial Treasury" for seven days.

Lin Yan did the math and realized it would take at least twenty years, so he chose to leave that very day.

He could certainly get in by chance, but it's clearly not worth it.

The "Sinking Moon Lake" Mission World.

The mission objective was to hunt down several kinds of monsters in the lake, but in this world, Lin Yan's system did not indicate the existence of any special opportunities, and he himself did not find them.

The hidden secrets may take different forms.

Lin Yan didn't care; he wasn't bothered by the small amount.

The "Cloud City" Mission World.

In Cloud City lives a powerful Feathered Race, born to be favored by the Law of Light.

This was indeed a perfect match for his expertise. During the mission, Lin Yan transformed an arrogant and brutal Feathered Race general into Life Puppet, and through the identity of this World Lord level Feathered Human puppet, he entered the Feathered Race's Inheritance Sacred Hall.

In this Inheritance Sacred Hall, Lin Yan obtained a secret technique for escaping by flying called "Falling Star," and a special flying artifact called "Star Wings."

Due to some unexpected events, he was still discovered, but fortunately he managed to escape using his "Shadow" talent.

After consulting the information in the treasure vault, Lin Yan learned that the "Star Wings" were comparable to the flying weapons used by Feng Wang level Immortal. Even with Lin Yan's 30% discount privileges, the price was still around 1.6 million points!

The "Falling Star" technique can be considered a decent escape technique, but it pales in comparison to the "Star Wings," and is worth about 100,000 points.

After completing these Dangerous Level missions, Lin Yan returned to the Ninth Time-Space to rest.

Wu Chen Continent, Lin Yan's territory.

A quiet little building.

The place was empty at the moment, and on the desk, a pale silver World Ring lay peacefully.

In A World of the World Ring.

Lin Yan stood on the land, looking up ahead. A set of exquisitely crafted, dark blue wings was floating in the air. The feathers on the enormous wings were made of strange metal and were exceptionally sharp.

"The Feathered Race are naturally skilled at using their wings, so for them, the best weapon is not a sword or blade, but their innate wings."

"However, their natural wings are good for escaping, but not for attacking, which is why they created such a weapon."

Lin Yan laughed heartily, "Good talent, indeed, is just willful. 'Star Wings' should be considered one of the best flying weapons among the Feathered Race, and I actually got my hands on it directly."

This wasn't obtained through a system-related stroke of luck, but rather because his talent was so exceptional that he received the best treasure from the Inheritance Sacred Hall.

It's funny when you think about it.

The reason he was exposed was because his talent, which was detected in the Inheritance Sacred Hall, was too good, which directly alarmed many immortal elders of the Feathered Race. Fortunately, the Feathered Race general was his Life Puppet. When Lin Yan saw that the situation was not good, he immediately hid using his "Shadow" talent.

These five Dangerous Level missions, in total, only yielded 75,000 points, but the other rewards were much greater.

The biggest gains were from the "Ruined Ancient God Temple", followed by the "Cloud City", and the Sky Dome Star was also decent.

Lin Yan said softly, "Wind Queen, search for methods to refine the 'Star Wings' in the Virtual Universe Network."

This is a flying weapon created by the Feathered Race, so it is naturally different from normal telekinetic weapons.

"Master, I've already looked!"

With a touch of miserly excitement, Wind Queen said happily, "Because the Feathered Race's flying weapons need to be integrated into the body, they possess a trace of life characteristics. They need to absorb your blood first, and then be soothed with Mental Power over a long period of time before the Spiritual Imprint can be integrated into them."

"Once the Spiritual Imprint is established, it can integrate into your skin like it assists Plant Lifeform, and its size can change to a certain extent according to your thoughts."

"But!"

Wind Queen reminded him, "Although the 'Star Wings' are also crafted by combining the laws of 'time and light,' they are completely different from the flying telekinetic weapon 'Sky Shattering Shuttle' that the master used before. It will take a lot of time to practice using them."

"Um."

Lin Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

For the Feathered Race, flying weapons like "Star Wings" are not simply flying objects; the feathers on them are made of strange metals, each one as sharp as a blade.

While in flight, you can use your wings to attack, cutting like wing blades!

Most human races do not have wings and generally do not use wing-shaped flying telekinetic weapons. Instead, they mostly use foot-operated weapons like the "Sky Shattering Shuttle," which are more suitable for their fighting style.

But--

Lin Yan had originally planned to cultivate this kind of secret technique, because the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone was born with two pairs of blade-like wings.

This was something he was born with, and he was quite adept at using it. However, Lin Yan was also aware that he had not yet developed the true power of these Blade Wings.

The arrival of these "Star Wings" was quite coincidental.

"Laugh!"

Lin Yan remained calm as he cut his wrist, forcibly suppressing his own healing ability. Blood gushed out and drifted toward the pale blue wings floating in the air.

Hiss...

The surface of the dark blue wings seemed to crackle with crimson lightning, constantly absorbing Lin Yan's blood.

Suddenly--

"Snap!"

With a gentle flap of its wings, it produced a metallic clanging sound, and around the dark blue wings, the Time Flow Rate seemed to naturally distort slightly.

Lin Yan simultaneously channeled a wisp of his mental energy into the Star Wings, slowly soothing and refining them. At the same time, a dark blue metallic book appeared in his hand.

The words "Falling Star" were written in the script of the Feathered Race.

This "Falling Star" is a secret technique that unleashes the power of "Star Wings." It is based on time and also incorporates the Law of Light, but in Lin Yan's eyes, it can only be described as ordinary.

"Escape ability is very important. I am the Law of Light, which gives me the greatest advantage in speed. I need to strengthen this ability even more," Lin Yan pondered.

He was already outstanding in speed.

Lin Yan's previous flying technique was "Mirror Flower Water Moon," which also started with the Law of Light and then delved into the Time Law.

"The Mirror Flower Water Moon" is divided into five parts.

First level: Divine Speed Storm!

The second layer: Splitting Light and Shadow!

The third level: The Shifting Stars!

The Fourth Layer: Fate Woven Like a Thread!

Fifth level: Mirror Flower Water Moon!

This secret technique was obtained by the God Tree King by chance and passed on to the Fensun World Lord, "River." The Fensun World Lord only received the first three levels.

Lin Yan had searched for this secret technique through the treasure vault. It was actually created by a Universe Venerable from a human vassal race and was worth 1 million points, which was quite good.

Lin Yan had long ago cultivated the second level to its limit, and now, his Law Comprehension is enough to unleash the third level of "Shifting Stars," but he has not yet reached a very deep level.

Lin Yan studied it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief, "The essence of 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' can also be applied to the Star Wings."

He thought to himself, "In that case, I will focus on 'Falling Star' for now, and use 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' as a supplement, and first develop the method of using 'Star Wings'."

Five years.

Lin Yan has completed six Dangerous Level missions in the Original Secret Realm. Next, he will begin the Desperate Level Mission.

Compared to Dangerous Level missions, the risks in Desperate Level Mission are much greater, especially for someone like Lin Yan who is unlikely to stay put; it is naturally more dangerous for him.

Although Lin Yan now possesses formidable combat power, far exceeding the Cosmic level or even the Domain Lord level, every extra bit of power provides greater security.

Moreover, it is an extremely important method of escaping.

There are two Desperate Level Mission worlds in the Original Secret Realm.

This includes "Purgatory Abyss," which ranks first among the Desperate Level Mission. The average death rate for Desperate Level Mission is 90%, while in Purgatory Abyss it is 99%!

Just one task.

Survive for one year and receive a reward of 1 million points!

However, the Super genius cultivated by the Virtual Universe Company generation after generation could not even survive a year after going to the Purgatory Abyss, and perished there.

Lin Yan had read the introduction to the "Purgatory Abyss" and had a basic understanding of it. Even though he was very confident in his strength, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

There is no doubt that it contains the greatest secrets and opportunities.

His current strength has not yet reached its peak, so Lin Yan plans to save the "Purgatory Abyss" mission for last.

The other mission, "Mizong Galaxy," is less difficult, and the task itself is quite simple: a "search mission."

Finding 39 crystals (see attachment for detailed information on crystals) will earn you 500,000 points.

But--

Lin Yan's first task was not these two, but the "Demon Mountain" far away in the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm.

The Demon Mountain has two sides.

It can be divided into two places: Magic Sound Mountain and Ice Mountain. The Universe Evolution has created two special environments in this Demon Mountain, which contain extreme danger.
