Luo Feng Returns!
After giving these instructions, the Mu Xing Country Lord disappeared from the spot without lingering any longer.
Lin Yan was left alone in the vast hall. Looking around, the ancient and simple charm calmed his mind as he quietly gazed at the endless secret manuals on the spiraling bookshelves.
"The teacher recommended 5,679 common secret techniques and 384 top-level secret techniques to me. They can be purchased through the treasure vault and cost 700 million points. Although they are far inferior to those Peak Ultimate Skills, being selected by the teacher means that they can be considered superior or even top-level among the same level."
Even among "ordinary" secret techniques, there are significant differences. For example, Huyan Bo's secret technique "Soul Seal" is only considered ordinary because it has escaped the category of "unordinary".
However, some people who have remained at the Peak Feng Hou for countless years have created secret techniques that are not enough to transcend this category and are still considered ordinary.
Lin Yan thought to himself, "These secret techniques were mainly selected by my teacher based on the two Origin Law of time and space. The direction he started with was mostly the Law of Wood and the Law of Light, which are in line with me. They are just a small part of the classics in this Knowledge Repository."
"As for the other secret techniques... they may be of great use to me in the future as well."
If his cultivation speed is appropriate, Lin Yan also plans to comprehend other Origin Law during the World Master stage. At that time, this Knowledge Repository will be of great use.
"Especially these two sets of precious books, their value is astronomical!"
Lin Yan looked at the 40 thick books on the table in front of him, namely 36 volumes of the "Azure Firmament" Secret Manual and 4 volumes of the "Azure Luo Secret Technique", and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Speaking of which, I had originally searched the treasure vault for secret methods to help the Green Line Devouring Worm cultivate the 'Mu Kong Fusion Law'."
"Although that set of secret techniques has six levels and its creator has reached the level of Universe Overlord similar to the elder of the Golden Horn Clan, 'Xerod,' the price is extremely high. Even if you only buy the first three volumes, the value is close to 10 billion points, which is simply unaffordable."
"The level of this 'Azure Luo Secret Technique' is not as high as that set of secret techniques, but since it was chosen by the teacher, it must be more suitable for the Green Line Devouring Worm."
"Only..."
"Should I start cultivating now?"
Lin Yan hesitated.
He hadn't originally considered studying the "Wood Beast God" path right now, largely because he lacked the assistance of secret techniques. Since that was the case, he simply decided not to spend his energy on this aspect for the time being.
This road is difficult to travel!
Successfully integrating the Space Law and the Law of Wood is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than simply comprehending the Space Law.
But now, with the help of his teachers and his community, he has long since exceeded his goals in the field of secret arts, and has a very accurate and clear path to follow.
"The Path of the Beast God..."
"Although I do not have the Beast God Inheritance Token and cannot go to the Beast God Inheritance Grounds, the Green Line Devouring Worm clearly has a strong talent in the Path of the Beast God."
"Now, with the 'Azure Firmament' secret manual created by the predecessor Augustus as guidance, the Beast God Carving images as assistance, and this Combat Secret Technique 'Azure Luo Secret Technique,' the conditions in all aspects are no worse than my cultivation of the Path of Space-Time."
Should we change our previous plans?
This Beast God Carving is to the Green Line Devouring Worm Path of the Beast God what the Universe Chaos Stele is to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan pondered for a moment, then sat down at the table and began reading these precious books, devouring them all in one go.
Even without seeking a thorough understanding, one can still gain a rough understanding of these two sets of secret texts.
If we compare the Beast God Carving to the Universe Chaos Stele, then the Azure Firmament is naturally like the Chaos Principle.
The "Azure Luo Secret Technique" is purely Combat Secret Technique, with very little guidance on Law Comprehension involved.
Lin Yan was secretly amazed. "No wonder the value of the four volumes is only 12 billion points. It turns out that it lacks content on the Law Comprehension. This is about Fusion Law. Simply learning the 'method of application' is not enough to cultivate it."
"From this perspective, I have clearly underestimated the Azure Luo Secret Technique."
In terms of Law Comprehension, both the Path of the Beast God and the Way of the God of Beasts can be said to originate from the same source.
The systematic "Azure Firmament" secret manual was created by "Augustus," the Universe Overlord of the human race. He had already fully comprehended the Mu Kong Fusion Law countless eons ago. The manual he created, which is more explanatory and research-oriented, is much easier to comprehend with half the effort.
With this secret manual in hand, the Mu Xing Country Lord naturally placed more emphasis on methods used in combat when making selections. This shows that the "Azure Luo Secret Technique" is also extraordinary and is an extremely powerful secret technique of the martial arts lineage.
Of course, it belongs to the martial arts lineage.
To reach the pinnacle of the Path of the Beast God and become a being comparable to the Beast God, one must be a martial artist. Relying on the Mental Master lineage will inevitably lead to failure.
This is a top secret for the weaker races in the universe, but it is no secret for the super-strong among the elite races like humans.
Because those Eight Innate Beast Gods are all close-combat fighters, including those from the Ancestor God Cult who have entered the realm of universe masters through cultivating the Path of the Beast God, none of them have ever become Mental Master.
This had no effect on Lin Yan, because what the Green Line Devouring Worm lacked was close-quarters combat.
Lin Yan flipped through the thick book, and finally closed the cover heavily.
With a thought, his consciousness descended upon a vast, dark green planet in the Original Secret Realm, surrounded by numerous fragments of stars.
The Original Secret Realm, Viska Star, Blood Demon Forbidden Zone.
The overwhelming pressure of the will, as powerful as the heavens, surged continuously. In the bottomless abyss, thick blood mist flowed naturally, forming various patterns, which vaguely condensed into the shapes of various Blood Demon Beast.
The deepest part of the abyss.
A Green Scale Armor- scaled Qingfu Mengchong floated 70,000 kilometers underground, its protruding compound eyes flashing with a cold light.
Its gaze was fixed on the mountainside in front of it.
"Rumble..." An ancient and eternal aura flowed between heaven and earth, making people hold their breath.
The wall is carved with enormous ancient monsters. There are eight ancient monsters in total, which exude a terrifying aura that makes people's hearts tremble.
These are the former... Eight Innate Beast Gods!
The Qingfu Mengchong stared intently at one of the carvings, at every scale, and at the incredibly clear hooves and wings.
"Bah!"
It was as if a sharp, frenzied roar was echoing in my ears, as if it had traveled through countless years, and that ancient Beast God was about to leap out of the stone wall and slaughter thousands.
It resembles both a bird and a beast, with wings on its back and a bizarre head entwined with vines that looks extremely ferocious.
"Hiss!" The Qingfu Mengchong couldn't help but hiss and roar, its protruding compound eyes filled with longing and excitement.
When the universe was born, the Eight Innate Beast Gods were born. They were born as the masters of the universe, and every move they made contained the Fusion Law. They themselves were the embodiment of the Fusion Law.
Lin Yan didn't know the origin of this Beast God Carving or its connection to the Heaven Mending Divine General. He only knew that the entire planet was taken back from other places by the super-strong people of the human race.
Although this Beast God Carving is not as powerful as a true Beast God that is an embodiment of the Fusion Law, it itself contains the Fusion Law, which is why the Green Line Devouring Worm can feel its special Conception and special pressure.
The Beast God Carving is unique yet very understated. Ordinary people cannot perceive the special artistic Conception within it. Without a special connection, one must cultivate the Fusion Law to an extremely high level to understand the special nature of the Beast God Statue.
If the Golden Horn Beast and other Starry Sky Beast are descendants of Innate Beast God, then they are suited to cultivate the Path of the Beast God.
The fact that the Green Line Devouring Worm is so compatible with the Blood of the Lin Yan Beast God's Blood suggests that its origins are likely related to its Special Lifeform form.
Whether they are Special Lifeform or Innate Beast God, they are all naturally born in the universe and receive more favor from the Primordial Universe, as if it were a special gift from the Laws of Cosmic Operation.
The former usually grows from weakness to strength, while the latter is born strong.
Take the Ancestor God Cult, which controls the Beast God Inheritance Grounds, for example. It also cultivates geniuses, but its standards are extremely high. Even the so-called peerless geniuses in the universe, such as Ke Di, are looked down upon by the Ancestor God Cult.
What they seek are powerful Special Lifeform. Firstly, their Life Gene Level of a very high level, and secondly, those Special Lifeform have more outstanding talent in the Path of the Beast God!
Virtual Universe, Knowledge Repository.
Lin Yan's expression was solemn, with a hint of madness in his eyes. "Since we have such an opportunity, we must seize it."
"I possess the Beast God Carving image, which can be verified at any time. I also have the extremely precious research-type secret manual 'Azure Firmament,' worth 600 billion points. Furthermore, I have a heaven-defying Special Life Clone — the Green Line Devouring Worm —that has fused with the Beast God's Blood to its limit and reached Life Gene Level of more than two thousand times at the Domain Lord level!"
"Once you reach the World Lord level, your Life Gene Level will likely transform to more than three thousand times!"
"Although the path of Fusion Law is thousands of times more difficult than becoming Universe Venerable, for me, it seems that everything is ready to achieve great success on this path; all that's needed is time."
Whether it's the Beast God Carving or precious manuals like "Azure Firmament" and "Azure Luo Secret Technique," they all belong to the realm of chance encounters.
But relying solely on luck is not enough; it also requires talent, hard work, luck, and many other factors... After all, standing at the pinnacle of the universe is extremely difficult.
But Lin Yan has all of these things, and in fact, he has them to an unbelievable degree!
Therefore, in his view, some things could be done with greater boldness.
"Thinking about it this way, it's not a big deal to let the Green Line Devouring Worm come into contact with the Fusion Law now," Lin Yan pondered.
He has already gained the recognition of the Origin Law of Wood, and is extremely close to fully comprehending the Law of Wood. In terms of the Law of Wood, Lin Yan is more than capable of meeting the requirements of the fifth level of the Beast God Inheritance, while the Azure Luo Secret Technique has only reached the Fourth Layer.
Regarding the Space Law, the First Level of Beast God Inheritance is... to be able to comprehend the essence of the 108 Space Law in the first three diagrams of the Chaos Stele.
After mastering the first level, his Law Comprehension Mu Kong Fusion Law was roughly equivalent to the level of the 16th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
Lin Yan has already approached the level of the 16th floor in terms of both the Time Law and Space Law.
He believed that if he was able to master the even more difficult "Primordial Beginning" when his foundation was weaker, there was no reason why he would be stumped by the "Azure Luo Secret Technique" now that all conditions had reached their limit.
In fact, he believed that with the Green Line Devouring Worm's talent, mastering the first level was entirely within a short period of time.
"Moreover... given my status among the human race, as long as I demonstrate astonishing talent in the lineage of the Beast God, obtaining the 'Beast God Inheritance Token' from the race shouldn't be difficult at all. Then I can use it to travel to the Inheritance Land of the Ancestor God Cult."
Thoughts raced through his mind.
This Inheritance Land is located in the "Ancestor God Secret Realm," the highest and most dangerous Cosmic Secret Realm in the universe. Ordinary dangers can cause even Universe Venerable to perish, and some extremely dangerous places are avoided even by cosmic lords.
In Lin Yan's future plans, this Cosmic Secret Realm is a place that World Lord level must go to.
It's not just because of the Beast God Inheritance, but also because the Ancestor God Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, yet the opportunities it presents are the most astonishing in the entire Primordial Universe.
Aside from the opening of the Original Star, if one wants to find opportunities, this Ancestor God Secret Realm is clearly the best place.
Moreover, as far as Lin Yan knew, there was a "Treasure Land" within the Ancestor God Cult, containing many treasures left behind by the Ancestor God Cult's predecessors. These treasures, at the very least, were worth the same as Ordinary Heavy Treasure.
Among the top 108 treasures, any one of them is so precious that it meets the threshold of Supreme Treasure.
He would likely remain at the World Lord level for a long time. If he wanted to obtain Supreme Treasure at this stage, Lin Yan had considered all the possible methods, but they were all limited to a few.
One way is through sheer luck, which is somewhat unpredictable; another is through a gift from the clan, for which the Sacrifice Secret Pattern were prepared; and the simplest way is through this Treasure Land.
Others go there to try their luck, but if he goes... he'll unlock a new opportunity, and I'll become the master of destiny!
"Considering these points, I definitely need to cultivate this Fusion Law. The Green Line Devouring Worm have this need, and I also need to consider the long term."
Lin Yan pondered, "It's nothing more than having the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone focus its energy on this aspect, which will slow down my progress in Law Comprehension. But this just means that I have to spend more time in seclusion, which won't have much of an impact on me at all."
Given his foundation and speed of Law Comprehension, it would be no problem for him to comprehend the first six diagrams of the "Universe Chaos Stele". He only needs to spend some time to achieve it naturally. So what if he starts cultivating a few hundred years later?
For the strong, a few hundred years is but a fleeting moment.
Whether it's the Great Dao of Space-Time or the Great Dao of Beast God, Lin Yan is full of confidence. This is the advantage of having clones, and he will try his best to tap into the potential of his clones.
The more extraordinary his performance, the more attention the Virtual Universe Company and even the human race will pay to him, investing massive resources in his development. The stronger he becomes, the more resources he will receive.
Lin Yan has already reaped considerable benefits from this.
He quickly made up his mind, and when he looked at these secret manuals again, a strange light appeared in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "Speaking of which, Luo Feng's method of imitating and carving the 'Beast God Artistic Conception' in the original work is also of great reference value to me. I should take the opportunity to explore whether something like the giant Beast God Statue in the 'Beast God Canyon' of the Golden Horn Clan exists on the 'Wood Beast God'..."
The Beast God Carving in the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone are impossible to copy. If you try to copy even a little bit, you will be subjected to cosmic pressure. However, the sleeping Beast God Statue that Xerod left behind for the Golden Horn Clan are possible to copy.
This information is at least about the Universe Overlord, and he doesn't have the authority to access it. We'll have to ask Mu Xing Country Lord later.
Lin Yan believed that it should exist.
Moreover, he doesn't need to go in person at all; he can simply send the photos he took over the Virtual Universe Network.
As long as such a thing exists, solving it would be no difficult task for someone of his status and position.
"Call..."
He exhaled deeply, his eyes bright, feeling that the future was bright.
"Oh, right." Lin Yan remembered something very important. "I have a Soul-type Amplitude Secret Method 'Desirelessness,' which allows Plant Lifeform to cultivate and requires Divine Body Amplitude Secret Method that doesn't cost too much. Let's see if this Knowledge Repository has it."
He quickly instructed Wind Queen to begin the investigation.
Lin Yan's own Body Amplitude Secret Method is the "Black Hole Sacred Body," which is not only extremely difficult to cultivate, but also requires the body's cells to devour various Cosmic Rare Treasure to enhance the quality and density of the cells, which comes at a great cost.
Let alone Plant Lifeform being unable to cultivate, even if they could, Lin Yan wouldn't have the money to squander on the Immortal Mo Yun Vine, which was only at the Initial Feng Hou.
Speaking of which...
The first set of ultimate techniques in "Azure Luo Secret Technique" is Body Amplitude Secret Method similar to "Black Hole Sacred Body". After all, Divine Body Amplitude is indispensable for the Universe Venerable of the martial arts lineage.
This Divine Body Amplitude Secret Method is called "Qingluo True Body". Unlike the Black Hole Sacred Body, it is extremely easy to learn. As long as Law Comprehension reaches a certain level, it can be learned in no time.
However, this Law Comprehension refers to the "Mu Kong Fusion Law," which, once mastered, can only be used by the user.
Fortunately, he possessed not only the "Azure Luo Secret Technique," but the entire Knowledge Repository.
The search in Wind Queen was completed quickly, and the results were very encouraging.
There are very few Amplitude Secret Method suitable for the human body because the foundation of the divine body is poor, and the logic of many secret techniques is not applicable. Those that can be used still have a very high threshold in terms of Law Comprehension or Life Gene.
However, the Plant Lifeform form is enormous, which is a unique advantage in this respect, making it much easier to find the Body Amplitude Secret Method.
As a result, Wind Queen found more than ten suitable secret techniques in the Knowledge Repository!
After some selection.
Lin Yan finally decided to name the secret technique "Nine Spirits," a special technique that enhances combat power by shrinking one's size, and also requires a certain level of Law Comprehension.
As the body shrinks, its mass condenses, its density increases dramatically, and its combat power soars, theoretically reaching up to 12 times the amplitude.
To be fair, from Lin Yan's perspective, this secret technique is really not that sophisticated.
Both the "Black Hole Sacred Body" and the "Qingluo True Body" are far superior to the "Nine Spirits" in terms of the exquisite and profound secret techniques.
The most demanding cultivation requirement is the size of the divine body.
Relying on shrinkage to increase amplitude requires room for shrinkage. If it were a human, even if shrunk to the size of a speck of dust, it would not be able to achieve twice the required amplitude.
But since this was created by Plant-type Lifeform forms, they don't need to consider these things at all. Even if their divine bodies are cultivated to the perfect peak—12 times the amplitude—their divine bodies will still be far larger than those of Flesh-type.
However, there are also requirements for Law Comprehension. To reach the peak level of cultivation, one generally needs to be at the Peak Feng Wang to achieve a high level of Law Comprehension.
Its advantage is that it's easy to cultivate, doesn't require many resources, and even has very low cultivation time requirements. For Lin Yan, this is enough, or rather, it couldn't be more suitable.
"Bring it on!"
"Cultivation has begun."
A hint of anticipation flickered in Lin Yan's eyes.
Then.
The Xue Qiao Clone then began its cultivation in Chaos City, sitting cross-legged on the rooftop of its Cultivation Residence every day, sometimes looking up at the sky to observe the operation of the external Universe Law.
Sometimes they study the structure of life or matter, pushing forward with the 'Golden Framework'.
The Green Line Devouring Worm began to comprehend the "Azure Firmament" secret manual and to grasp the Beast God Artistic Conception the Beast God Carving.
Lin Yan himself began the most peaceful time of his life on Earth, comprehending the Universe Origin Law together with his Xue Qiao Clone.
The three combined!
With the assistance of the "Beast God Carving," one can observe the laws governing the Initial Universe, and occasionally even visit the City Lord's Mansion to personally witness the Chaos Stele...
Lin Yan's teaching conditions were truly excellent. He could consult Tong Nanwang about the King Tong Nan of the Path of the Soul, seek guidance from King Tian Yu on the difficulties of the Universe Chaos Stele, and freely attend classes taught by the Feng Wang level Immortal in Chaos City, seeking inspiration from their lectures.
They also have a Universe Overlord teacher at home, from whom they can receive instruction.
Under these circumstances, Lin Yan's cultivation speed increased dramatically compared to before on Canglan Star.
Time passes.
He devoted himself to cultivation, comprehending the laws while studying the many secret techniques recommended by his teacher Mu Xing Country Lord. He was like a precise machine constantly running and steadily moving forward, or like a parched desert frantically absorbing water and nutrients.
In the blink of an eye.
About 19 years after the Xue Qiao Clone entered Chaos City, 62 years had passed in the Primordial Universe.
The Original Secret Realm, Wu Chen Continent.
The Palace Cluster stretches as far as the eye can see, and it has been home to geniuses from the Original Secret Realm throughout the ages.
The control center of the entire Wu Chen Continent is a 66-story, dark-colored tower. The lowest floor of the tower is over a thousand kilometers long and wide, and its height reaches tens of thousands of kilometers.
This tower controls a space-time area around it.
Inside the hall on the 45th floor of the tower, there are countless sophisticated instruments and screens. Around these instruments are many people dressed in silver and a very few people in black uniforms.
Those enormous screens floated above the hall.
Suddenly--
One of the screens lit up, and at the same time, a magnificent sound resounded throughout the hall.
"I want to board a spaceship and leave the Original Secret Realm for the Ganwu Universe Country."
Immediately, a group of men in black in the hall looked up.
A figure appeared on the huge screen; it was a black-haired youth wearing Silver Battle Armor.
He was somewhat thin, but the barely concealed ferocity about him was terrifying; he was like a cold, blood-stained blade that had emerged from a sea of blood.
The Original Secret Realm, a newly promoted Domain Lord level member.
Luo Feng!
