Heavenly Demon
The Emperor Ship is traveling at 100 times the speed of light in the Dark Universe, and it will take about seven months to reach Fengtian Star.
It will take nearly half a month to return to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Of course, Divine Kingdom Teleportation is also an option, but Lin Yan doesn't have any urgent plans for the time being, so he doesn't do that and instead relies on the Emperor Ship for interstellar travel.
At this time.
In A World of the World Ring.
Lin Yan looked down at the crystal-like Plant Lifeform and smiled, "Although this Alien Race assassination only dispatched a High-class Feng Hou Immortal God, it was still a huge investment."
A High-class Feng Hou Immortal God granted the title of Marquis, plus a Plant Lifeform Initial Feng Hou.
It has to be said that even when assassinating an Original Secret Realm World Lord, it would be difficult to produce such a lineup.
The result, of course, was that they failed.
But the story isn't over yet.
Virtual Universe Company investigated Koser, examining all his activities on the "Virtual Universe Network," such as emails, calls, and conversations, and discovered some clues.
However, when preparing to take control of an important target, the target's planet exploded, killing all 22 billion people on the planet.
This is the ruthless tactic of the Zerg Infiltration Organization.
The Zerg are adept at using Soul Invasion to control large numbers of lives, making their Zerg Infiltration Organization extremely difficult to deal with. Once a piece on their side has a problem, they will immediately abandon that line completely and even retaliate.
To send a planet to mass extinction is a form of revenge.
However, even knowing there might be retaliation, the investigation must continue. Even if it fails a hundred or a thousand times, just one success would be enough to severely damage the Zerg's infiltrative organization, which they had built with countless resources.
This time, the Zerg Infiltration Organization suffered heavy losses in its assassination attempt against Lin Yan.
A servant of High-class Feng Hou Immortal God has been granted a title is nothing.
To them, any Immortal God lurking within the 1008 Universe Nations of humanity is an invaluable resource; however, Immortal God without any value in lurking are a different matter entirely.
Originally, according to the Zerg Infiltration Organization's plan, Koser had been working in the Wu Long Star Domain for millions of years. Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the human race to determine when they arranged for this Feng Wang Immortal God.
But Lin Yan was very certain!
It was definitely an infiltration recently, and the operation was carried out accordingly, not simply waiting for an opportunity.
Since the person involved was so certain, King Long Jue and his men naturally had to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Then--
After Lin Yan arrived in the Wu Long Star Domain, within three years, through monitoring and other information, the movement trajectories of all personnel in the Wu Long Star Domain were strictly mapped.
The number of low-level personnel in a star system is extremely alarming.
Comparing this with Koser's movements, all the points of intersection were suspicious.
In this way, after conducting a detailed investigation, they finally found another pawn lurking in the Wu Long Star Domain, as well as... the bald old man in black robes who had come to the Wu Long Star Domain to conduct a transaction some time ago.
That was actually a king from the Nine Flame Universe Country!
After a detailed investigation by the Virtual Universe Company, it was determined that he had long been Soul Invasion of Zerg powerhouse. Over the past 1.74 million years, because of him and his forces, the Zerg have infiltrated and exploited them, causing great losses to humanity on the Outer Domain Battlefield!
If one did not wish to enter the Wu Long Star Domain for trading, the requirements for identity and permissions would be extremely high, and this would not have directly led to the Zerg Infiltration Organization exposing this precious pawn.
Afterwards.
The top management of Virtual Universe Company ordered the complete eradication of this force, resulting in the deaths of over 200 million people.
This is the cruelty of Clan War.
These events were relayed by King Long Jue and had little to do with Lin Yan.
What's related to him is the outcome of dealing with that Marquis-level Immortal God.
Such a powerful being, whose Soul Invasion, would never betray his master, and his memories could not be forcibly searched, so he was of little use. The original plan was to kill him directly.
But... Lin Yan took a liking to his Plant Lifeform.
That's right, the Plant Lifeform on this High-class Feng Hou Immortal God is the Mo Yun Vine.
At the World Lord level, the worst Mo Yun Vine has 36 main vines, and the best has 360 main vines.
Back then Yun Mo Star Master, "Huyan Bo," had 108 main vines at the Realm World Lord level the Mo Yun Vine. It took 6.2 million Hun Yuan Unit to finally allow the Mo Yun Vine to break through to Immortality and possess the strength of "Initial Feng Hou".
Taking the best solution offered by Virtual Universe Company as an example, 108 main vines, the Mo Yun Vine, require 18.1 million points and have an 80% probability of becoming Immortal God.
The plan that Huyan Bo chose at the time had only a 40% chance of success, and his success was largely due to luck.
While 18.1 million points is a considerable sum, Lin Yan wasn't particularly concerned about it.
The most important thing is time!
Not to mention that Lin Yan doesn't really like this method, even if he really intended to cultivate Plant Lifeform for "Parasitism," there would be a long cultivation period involved.
You can only speed up, not skip ahead.
Take the Golden Horn Beast as an example; using some precious metal ingredients can increase its evolution speed by dozens of times.
The same applies to Plant Lifeform. While it may be possible to quickly break through several levels using materials such as Life Fruit, Plant Lifeform that is completely induced is unlikely to achieve immortality, and even World Master would find it difficult to break through.
As for the Nutrient Pod.
Given the size of Plant Lifeform, this is simply not possible.
Therefore... even if Lin Yan has the Loch God Water Lake, which can provide various resources, it will still be impossible for the "Konota Tree Spirit" he cultivates to break through to immortality for at least a hundred years.
Lin Yan planned to use his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone to search for treasures in the Cosmic Secret Realm during his time as a Domain Lord. However, unlike the "Original Secret Realm," which was a fully developed Cosmic Secret Realm, he wanted to find precious treasures, so the danger level of the Cosmic Secret Realm was naturally extremely high.
Before the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone Parasitic Immortal Plant Lifeform, it clearly did not possess such an ability.
Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of a Plant Lifeform with the strength of "Initial Feng Hou" was indeed very tempting to Lin Yan.
Possessing the Immortal Divine Power of "Initial Feng Hou," Law Comprehension of Marquis, coupled with powerful treasures and secret techniques... the improvement in strength will reach an unimaginable level!
Therefore--
Lin Yan directly expressed his desire to collect the Immortal Mo Yun Vine as a memento.
Although King Long Jue and the others didn't understand what was so special about this thing that they wanted to collect it— the Mo Yun Vine had recognized its master was something that no one else could use—they still readily agreed, considering the genius's eccentricities and the fact that they also bore responsibility for Lin Yan's assassination attempt in the Wu Long Star Domain.
The owner of this Immortal Mo Yun Vine had suffered too much damage to his Immortal Divine Body, lost consciousness and fell into a permanent slumber, and was sent to the Starfield Prison.
The reason it wasn't killed was because once the Mo Yun Vine recognizes a master, it only has one master for its entire life. Once the master dies, the Mo Yun Vine will also die.
Human populations are very experienced in this regard, and under certain special circumstances, they would rather let their prey sleep than choose to kill it.
For example, if the opponent learns some important information and is killed, there is a possibility that they could be resurrected by the cosmic ruler of the opposing faction.
The soul sleeps for billions of years and cannot awaken. It is different from death, so there is no question of resurrection.
Wow!
Endless black mist shrouded the frozen Mo Yun Vine.
The black mist was composed of countless dense Black Particles, each with a tiny, mysterious hole in its center. An invisible, mesmerizing power emanated from the black mist.
In the center of the black mist was a pale silver, humanoid Green Line Devouring Worm, about 960 meters tall. If it stood on the Earth's surface, it would be a towering mountain.
Its four pairs of blade-like silver wings on its back can easily tear through space.
Three pairs of differently shaped eyes looked down at the Immortal Mo Yun Vine, their cold gaze sending chills down one's spine.
"Although I am only Domain Lord ninth stage, after activating the Beast God Power, my Life Gene Level is 2200 times higher. My Soul Amplitude has reached 64 times by absorbing the second drop of Clear Soul Yuan Dew and by cultivating the 'Desireless' secret technique!"
"I possess a full 140 times the mental power of World Lord peak!" Lin Yan thought to himself. "In addition to my super strong will, I have already mastered the basics of the Soul Illusion Technique, the first volume of the Heavenly Demon Illusion."
"The 108 main vines, the Mo Yun Vine, are only at the Initial Feng Hou. Under the sealing of the King Zhui Yu's Soul Secret Technique, they have already fallen into a deep sleep. As long as my illusion technique is strong enough, I can prevent them from waking up and Divine Power Burning."
He pondered for a moment, "The Green Line Devouring Worm is Special Lifeform that is even more adept at Soul Invasion than the Zerg Mother Queen. It can use its talent 'Parasitism'... It might not be impossible."
Lin Yan hovered in mid-air, beside the Green Line Devouring Worm that resembled mountain peaks, gazing at the Immortal Mo Yun Vine that looked like a giant ice sculpture. The ice crystals on the surface of the main vine's leaves shimmered with light, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
He was prepared to give it a try.
"Let's begin!" Lin Yan landed directly, sat cross-legged on the grass without moving, and his consciousness completely entered the Green Line Devouring Worm's body, giving the Green Line Devouring Worm its strongest and most perfect strength.
Laugh!
The Green Line Devouring Worm began to unleash the "Heavenly Demon Illusion," instantly transforming its ethereal mental power into strange black threads. Hundreds of millions of threads intertwined with each other, immediately forming countless secret patterns, and finally creating a Black Lotus.
Whoosh!
The Black Lotus quickly flew through the air and directly invaded the body of the Mo Yun Vine.
"Boom!"
It works instantly on the soul.
Streams of black mist flowed out from the black lotus, seemingly creating endless illusions.
"Heavenly Demon" is a thought, a wisp of idea, or rather, all sentient beings.
It is "desire".
As long as there is life, there will inevitably be desires. Desires are endless, they are the great way, the source of life's progress. They are hazy, dreamlike, and infinitely complex. Even the most detached person will have desires.
Even those great ancient people who were called saints had all sorts of dreams and pursuits.
To suppress desires is to go against one's true nature.
In the years that Lin Yan has been studying "The Heavenly Demon Illusion," he has come to a deep understanding that it is not only a Soul Illusion Technique, but also a form of self-examination.
Achieving great success as an illusionist is extremely difficult, but once successful, it is terrifying.
Unlike martial artists and Controller, they understand the weaknesses of human nature. Those who achieve amazing success as illusionists all have a very deep understanding of human nature.
The Heavenly Demon Illusion is divided into three volumes.
The first volume is about the "Six Desires", the second volume is about the "Seven Emotions", and the third volume is about "enlightenment".
The first two involve exhausting emotions and desires, indulging in the wonders of illusion, leading to the collapse of natural Will and Consciousness, the breakdown of the soul, and ultimately, death.
The latter is a higher realm, where falsehood and truth are confused with each other.
Legend has it that the highest level of illusionist is to make people believe that the illusion is real, and to live in the illusion for their entire lives.
The black mist flowing from the Black Lotus rippled faintly, gradually forming the shape of a Gu worm that slowly wriggled.
At the same time.
A strange, transparent worm also entered the body of the Mo Yun Vine, gradually approaching the black mist worm and eventually merging into one.
Methods of enslavement can be divided into many types, such as forced enslavement and illusionary enslavement. Illusionary enslavement involves making the other party fall into an illusion without their knowledge, and then they become a servant without realizing it.
The Green Line Devouring Worm's Talent Secret Method "Parasitism" is, strictly speaking, a method of forced enslavement, only this kind of "enslavement" is more domineering.
The Soul Control secret technique "Heavenly Demon Gu" in "Heavenly Demon Transformation" is itself a secret technique of forced enslavement, but when combined with "Heavenly Demon Illusion," it becomes an Illusionary Technique flow enslavement technique.
Therefore, Lin Yan had been thinking about how to combine the "Heavenly Demon Gu" and the "Soul Worm" to form a special connection with "Heavenly Demon Illusion".
Although the Green Line Devouring Worm has a strong ability to Soul Invasion, it is simply impossible for it to Parasitism a Marquis level Plant Lifeform by relying solely on its own innate abilities.
When using Talent Secret Method, one cannot rely on external forces.
Only through the method of "Illusionary Technique flow enslavement" can Lin Yan's incredibly strong Will and Consciousness, even with some deficiency in mental strength, allow him to unleash the full power of illusions and achieve his goals without anyone noticing.
Whoosh!
The black mist seeped into the soul of the Mo Yun Vine. At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Gu, which was fused with the "Soul Worm," also continued to infiltrate and invade. The Immortal Mo Yun Vine did not resist at all; under the Soul Secret Technique of the King Zhui Yu, it was in a state of unconsciousness and slumber.
Now I'm lost in the illusion again.
"Fine."
"Hang in there a little longer."
The Green Line Devouring Worm fully controlled the Heavenly Demon Gu to invade and began to try to devour its soul. Strands of green threads spilled from its mouth, and countless threads merged into the soul of the Mo Yun Vine.
Suddenly--
The Green Line Devouring Worm stopped moving, and Lin Yan, who was in the distance, opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"No."
"We can't continue like this."
During his attempt at "Parasitism," Lin Yan discovered that when the soul faced a true crisis, the consciousness of the Mo Yun Vine resisted extremely strongly. If this continued, the illusion he created would be broken, the Soul Secret Technique of the King Zhui Yu would be destroyed, and the Mo Yun Vine would inevitably awaken.
"My previous ideas were too idealistic."
If it were World Master lord or domain lord, Lin Yan could easily force his way in this situation. However, it's different for Immortal God. Once the Mo Yun Vine breaks through the illusion and burning Divine Power, its strength will soar to an extremely high level.
Once the illusion is broken, defeat is inevitable.
"The Heavenly Demon Illusion ..." Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh, "I have only studied this secret technique for a few years. Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. I still lack a lot of refinement."
"Let's try again when our skill level is higher."
Lin Yan took a deep look at the Immortal Mo Yun Vine, which resembled a giant ice sculpture, and then his figure immediately disappeared from this A World.
The Emperor Ship.
Lin Yan lay on the bed in the rest pod, looking at the decorations above his head.
Although he failed to successfully Parasitism the Mo Yun Vine this time, which would have brought about a dramatic change in his strength, he knew the principle of taking things one step at a time and wasn't too disappointed.
"From the experiment just now, it can at least be said that my idea is correct."
"It's just that I'm still lacking in ability."
Lin Yan's expression grew increasingly resolute.
"Anyway, we already Immortal-level Plant Lifeform in our hands. We just need to spend time studying the secret techniques, and everything will fall into place naturally."
"Besides... it will be more than thirty years before the Xue Qiao Clone is born, so I'm not in a hurry."
Thinking of this, he immediately sat up, stroking a Six-Pointed Star- shaped metal piece in his hand.
He thought to himself, "Although it is an extremely important treasure, I am still unable to obtain the information about its inheritance."
This was, after all, the biggest secret of the Yan Ji Tribe. Through the system information, Lin Yan learned that only the life force of the Yan Ji Tribe could recognize this Inheritance Item as its owner.
Of course, the strongest Yan Ji Tribe is only Universe Venerable. Finding a top-tier existence like the Chaos City Lord would be a piece of cake for them.
However, Lin Yan had no intention of bringing it up now.
Because he is too weak right now.
Just like in the original novel, the Virtual Universe Company only spent 50 billion Hun Yuan Unit to buy half of the ownership of Earth. This is because for Luo Feng at that time, 50 billion Hun Yuan Unit was an unimaginable number.
It is true that this "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" is most beneficial to the clan, but such an opportunity is rare, and Lin Yan also needs to take advantage of this to fight for his own interests.
Of course, you should seize any opportunity that arises.
The Chaos City Lord just gave him the "Black Phoenix Armor," and there are other Origin Supreme Treasure and materials to follow. If he takes them out now, how easy will it be for Lin Yan to complete his training World Lord level?
Taking this into consideration, they won't give him any particularly powerful treasures.
"We still need to wait for the right opportunity."
At the very least, we should wait until he reaches the Peak Feng Wang or Feng Wang Limit combat power before taking it out. The minimum reward would be a Supreme Treasure.
One Supreme Treasure is worth more than a thousand precious treasures!
Given his pace of progress, the time gap shouldn't be too long, so it shouldn't have any significant impact.
Moreover, he was quite interested in what these "Sacrifice Secret Pattern" actually were.
Unable to recognize a master... Once the Xue Qiao Clone is born, it can be transformed into a native of the Yan Ji Continent, which will easily solve this problem.
Lin Yan made up his mind.
In the next instant, the Six-Pointed Star -shaped metal piece disappeared from his hand and was carefully stored away again.
