Important Opportunity: Treasure of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord!
In a quiet courtyard.
Luo Feng and Lin Yan sat facing each other.
"No wonder it can simulate the universe's cycle within its body and automatically drive the evolution of its genes... This mysterious cultivation manual is so heaven-defying!" Luo Feng's eyes were filled with disbelief. "What kind of great being could create this secret technique?"
Once you begin cultivating this mysterious manual, you need Soul Crystal Ball and Origin Crystal Ball as your two cores to release your mental power and Origin Force, continuously integrating them into every cell of your body.
Through 72,000 auxiliary threads, 1,440 main threads, the Origin Crystal Ball, the Psionic Crystal Ball, and the body, the incredibly abstract workings of the universe are simulated, thereby driving the evolution of the body's genes.
However, this secret method for driving genetic evolution is extremely dangerous. Each of the Nine Tribulations can easily lead to collapse if one is not careful. The way to increase the safety factor is twofold: first, to have a strong enough body; and second, to make the cosmic cycle more perfectly constructed.
According to the secret manual, if the established cosmic cycle is truly close to perfection and close to the true mysteries of the cosmic cycle, then even the weakest body will not have any problems during cultivation.
Although Luo Feng couldn't do that, because he had clones, it wouldn't be life-threatening. Even if he turned to ashes, he could reassemble and continue trying to cultivate.
During his cultivation, Luo Feng guessed that... the person who created this secret technique had reached the point of understanding the essence of the universe.
But now it seems that it is far beyond my imagination.
Lin Yan picked up the teacup, its fragrance wafting around him. He took a sniff and felt his mind and soul become clear.
After taking a small sip, he smiled slightly, "The universe is mysterious and unpredictable; it's possible that such a heaven-defying secret technique could appear."
"However, Luo Feng, there's something I need to remind you of."
"Hmm?" Luo Feng looked over intently. "What is it?"
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. "I've thought about it carefully. This metal plate contains this mysterious cultivation manual, which is so special... So the reason for its appearance is questionable. I think this may not be a coincidence."
Luo Feng was taken aback.
Yes.
There's something fishy about this Black Metal Plate no matter how you look at it. However, he has already practiced all the contents of the cultivation manual, which is indeed extremely incredible. So what secret is hidden behind it?
He Jueyi was shrouded in mist.
Lin Yan looked up at the sky, and after a moment transmitted his voice, he said, "Since you say that this secret technique is incomplete, I think this matter may not be over yet. You will truly come to know the truth of this matter in the future, so you should pay more attention in the future."
"I will." Luo Feng thought for a moment, then frowned slightly. "Lin Yan, have you considered what might be the reason behind this?"
Lin Yan nodded slightly.
Luo Feng was startled, staring at him with wide eyes, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Lin Yan pointed to the ground. "Earth."
Earth?
"Just like when I first raised doubts about the special nature of Earth, but among the countless Life Planet in the Primordial Universe, we have never heard of such a situation, so the special nature of Earth cannot be naturally occurring." Lin Yan pondered, "If this Earth and the secret manual you mentioned were created by the same person, then it makes sense."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up immediately.
Yes.
If we follow this line of thought, everything becomes understandable. Whether it's a Laws of Cosmic Operation to promote genetic optimization, or Life Planet that can enhance the Soul Potential, these are all unheard of in the universe.
Even if these two works were not created by the same person, there must be some connection between them.
"Since you're here, make the best of it." Lin Yan sighed. "I think... if that's really the case, it's very likely to be a good thing for you. The most important thing is to cultivate well and make good use of it to strengthen yourself."
Luo Feng nodded.
He didn't think that the Great Existence who created the Earth and the Nameless Secret Codex would be at odds with him, at least not now.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
They stopped talking about it, and Luo Feng started asking him questions about the Golden Horn Clan. Given Luo Feng's own level of authority, he was not qualified to know anything about vassal tribes.
As they talked...
Suddenly--
"Hmm?" Lin Yan's calm eyes shifted slightly, a glint of light flashing within them.
A surge of ecstatic joy rose within him.
"The faint hope I once held onto has actually come true. The legacy of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord 'King Zhenyu' has always been here, waiting for the successor of the Earth lineage."
Thinking of this, the ecstasy in his heart quickly turned into a faint sadness.
Only when you are truly immersed in this story can you understand what kind of story is being told behind those pale words.
The Nine Tribulations Scripture has been passed down to this day. Luo Feng is the third candidate. Before him, there were two other geniuses of their generation, both of whom were the most outstanding elites of the Earth lineage and were unparalleled figures. They also followed the path that Luo Feng was about to take, and ultimately perished in the Star Tower.
The Earth was named differently in the different eras of the first two candidates.
In the era of the first candidate, Earth was called "Mountain Sea Realm," which is over 50 billion years old. The candidate's real name is unknown. King Rank was the Realm World Master, and his title was "King Zhenyu the Universe." His mental state was "Unity of Heaven and Man and man, Heart of a Child." During the process of recognizing the master of the Star Tower, he persisted for 2,600 years before falling.
The second candidate's era was when Earth was called "Origin Star," more than 8.2 billion years ago. The candidate's real name is unknown. He was immortal and King Rank given the title "King Huanshen." His mental state was "Mind Embraces All and Mind Embraces All." During the process of recognizing the master of the Star Tower, he persisted for 3,300 years before falling.
For thousands of years, they had to endure this soul-wrenching pain at all times, bearing this endless and terrible torment with an absolutely steadfast heart.
As long as the process of recognizing the Lord continues, the excruciating pain of the soul tearing apart will continue to escalate and will never stop.
Ultimately, however, they all ended in failure.
Based on this clue gleaned from the original plot and the information gleaned from the Virtual Universe Network, Lin Yan gained some understanding of the two individuals.
The former is World Master, but this is unknown to others. Relying on Supreme Treasure, the Nine Tribulations Scripture, the King Armor, and other means, the information he recorded in the Virtual Universe Network is that Peak Feng Wang Expert.
The latter is immortal, but he has suffered too much, had poor circumstances, and his Law Comprehension the laws is not outstanding. His strength has not yet reached the Feng Wang Limit, and he is weaker than King Zhenyu, who is only World Master.
But--
His title, "King Huanshen," reveals him to be an incredibly mysterious illusionist and one of the most terrifying beings on the Outer Domain Battlefield at the time. Once attacked by him, one would unknowingly fall into an illusion and die. He also had more than ten King-level Immortal God servants!
With an "Mind Embraces All," this King Huanshen, even though his understanding of the Universe Law was slightly inferior and he didn't even have a single treasure, possessed extremely high attainments in the realm of the soul.
Lin Yan found it easy to find information about the former, because this "King Zhenyu" was the lord of the Mountain Sea Realm. The latter seemed to have no connection with the Origin Star. However, by using the timeline of 8.2 billion years ago, it was still easy to filter out anyone who came from the Ganwu Universe Country.
Lin Yan guessed that this might be related to the hardships he had endured, but such things were too far in the past to be verified.
Having grasped this information, Lin Yan had a much broader understanding of the situation.
Pu Ti commented that King Zhenyu had the strongest fate among the three candidates, while Luo Feng, who was the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord during the time of recognizing the Star Tower, was bestowed with the wing-like Supreme Treasure "Slaying Wu Wings".
Even though the Slaying Wu Wings were considered Ordinary Supreme Treasure at the time and their true value was not discovered, such Supreme Treasure are still much more precious than weapons or armor of the same level.
Therefore, at the very least, King Zhenyu possesses ordinary Soul-type, Domain-type, or Palace Supreme Treasure, or even High-class Supreme Treasure.
After his fall, the Supreme Treasure could not possibly be in the Star Tower. After all, Luo Feng, at the World Lord level, recognized the Star Tower as his master. At that time High-class Supreme Treasure was of immense value to Luo Feng. If he had it... it would be impossible not to mention it.
That leaves only two possibilities.
One possibility is that it was arranged by King Zhenyu himself, and the other is that it was taken by Pu Ti after his death. These two possibilities are roughly equal, and the former is even more likely.
No matter what, Puti is the Lord of the Universe and the eldest disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest. This treasure has limited appeal to him. If the King of Zhenyu really makes the offer, even if he is willing to let him integrate the Star Tower Beads, he cannot refuse such a reasonable request.
Since that's the case, it's certainly worth Lin Yan putting in some effort here.
Based on the information Lin Yan gathered, he ultimately determined that the direction to search was the vast starry sky near Earth.
A total of 45 Green Line Devouring Worm clone, all centered on the Solar System, spread outwards, using the system's opportune functions to search for potential treasures in this vast starry sky.
As it turned out, Lin Yan's deduction was correct.
In just over sixty years, he found the former Lord of the Mountain Sea Realm and left behind his last blessings for Earth... or rather, for the Mountain Sea Realm at that time, before embarking on that path of life and death.
At that time.
If he returns, all preparations will naturally cease. At that time, Earth will probably be another holy land for mankind, and the Earth lineage will have the best birth for the human race. He will have become a powerful and influential Peak Existence the universe.
But he did not return.
Even the once Mountain Sea Realm has fallen into decline and has never regained its former glory. Its treasures await their inheritor in the dark starry sky.
Milky Way Galaxy.
Lin Yan stood in a vast starry sky, about 42 light-years away from Earth.
He looked around and saw that this was an asteroid belt, containing more than 500,000 asteroids, the largest of which was 950 kilometers in diameter and the smallest was only the size of a pebble, all orbiting a star.
In the distance, there are also planets, meteorites, dust, and so on.
Although this place is only 42 light-years away from Earth, it is still an extremely difficult thing to find by looking outwards from all directions. Even if Lin Yan used the Green Line Devouring Worm clone to explore through the system opportunity, it was still like finding a needle in a haystack.
The Domain Lord level opportunity exploration range is "one hundred billion kilometers," which is a fixed area. As long as he is within this area, he can analyze opportunity information.
In this endless starry sky, there is not even a minor opportunity. Therefore, every time the Green Line Devouring Worm clone identifies a region, it enters the Dark Universe, then leaves the Dark Universe to identify the next region, and so on.
It's also thanks to the fact that the secret method for concealing the coordinates of the Dark Universe was personally arranged by Lin Yan that we can directly escape it, instead of having to spend five minutes circling the Dark Universe each time to find the true coordinates as before.
And so, this extremely important opportunity has finally been discovered.
[Important Opportunity Discovered: The Treasure of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord!]
Five hundred billion years ago, before the Star Tower's recognition process began, the Mountain Sea Realm Lord, "Xuan Pin," arranged many affairs within the Mountain Sea Realm. However, considering the dangers of possessing such a treasure, she sealed away her most precious possessions, leaving behind a treasure trove in a nearby star Mountain Sea Realm, awaiting its successor to unlock it!
[Limited: Bloodline of the Mountain Sea Realm (Not yet met)]
[Extremely valuable, level of opportunity determined: Cosmic!]
[Should we activate the opportunity?]
[Note: This function cannot be activated if certain conditions are not met.]
[Yes/No] (Domain Lord level Activation Count: 3/4)
Lin Yan's star-like eyes swept around again, his brows furrowing slightly.
"It seems that the method of relying on detection instruments, as we did before in the Wu Long Star Domain, will not work." He let out a long sigh.
When he went to the Garbage Star Domain to search for treasure, he used the method of combining information of chance with detection instruments. He was able to search through detection instruments without relying on chance, and finally found precious treasures such as "Feather Snail Sky Gold".
He originally thought that this was the universe, and compared to the complex environment of the Garbage Mountain in the Wu Long Star Domain, this was mostly outer space. Detecting planets, asteroids, and so on within this range of hundreds of billions of kilometers should have been a piece of cake.
But--
Lin Yan gained nothing.
Within this area of 100 billion kilometers, even a single speck of dust was thoroughly detected, yet nothing was found.
"Given King Zhenyu's wealth, it's normal that I wouldn't be able to detect this treasure if it were concealed by Mini Detector. However, I also activated Mini Detector. If the other party had activated Large Detector, I should have been able to detect it as well," Lin Yan pondered. "Could it be that King Zhenyu's Large Detector is of the level used by Universe Venerable?"
The information revealed from the opportunity was still too little, making it difficult for Lin Yan to determine how King Zhenyu sealed his treasure. Given King Zhenyu's circumstances, it would be entirely plausible to say that he obtained the inheritance of a fallen Universe Overlord.
Therefore, it is quite reasonable that they are using detection instruments of the caliber of Universe Venerable.
"Of course, there is another way, which is to collect the starry sky within this 100 billion kilometers into the World Ring and use the process of elimination, but this method also has serious flaws."
"Referring to the Intelligent life form 'Babata' in the Yun Mo Star Inheritance, it is very likely that King Zhenyu also had his Intelligent life form do this. If I go too far and anger this Intelligent life form, I will completely cut off the possibility of opening the opportunity."
After a relationship is "recognized as a master," the death of the master will cause the death of the Soul Servant and Auxiliary Life forms, but Intelligent life form are different.
Although it possesses human emotions and other qualities, it is still intelligence, but lacks a soul.
"Recognizing a master" is merely a core ability of Intelligent life form. Once a master is recognized, the life form is essentially obedient to the master and will not have the slightest thought of betrayal. If the master dies, the life form will still obey the master's commands but will not be affected by them.
Take the "Mechanical race," one of the pinnacle races in the universe, for example. Every member of the Mechanical race is Intelligent life form, which creates a pyramidal structure within the entire Mechanical race.
A master of the universe will cause the Mechanical race, Universe Venerable, to acknowledge him as their master! Universe Venerable, in turn, will cause the immortals of the Mechanical race to acknowledge him as their master!
These master-servant relationships have been established long ago... Unless the servant's strength surpasses that of the master, the higher-ups of the Mechanical race will order the master to terminate the master-servant relationship directly; otherwise, the master-servant relationship will remain forever.
This is the Mechanical race, a race with an absolute strict hierarchy, incapable of any betrayal, and also an extremely terrifying race.
Unlike Soul Servant, they do not have high requirements for Soul Secret Technique, nor do they experience the phenomenon of servants dying when their master dies. This is something that other races cannot and will not be able to imitate.
Lin Yan knew too little about the Treasure of the Mountain Sea Realm Lord, and did not know in what way it existed, so there were some methods he dared not use at all.
The system opens up opportunities mainly by relying on information asymmetry, rather than directly distorting people's perceptions, etc.
For example, if the Yun Mo Star Inheritance is unclaimed, Huyan Bo's enemies were to open the opportunity, Babata would never agree to it.
"Since that's the case, using another opportunity is nothing," Lin Yan thought to himself. "This could very well be related to High-class Supreme Treasure, so I can't just ignore it, nor can I take risks I shouldn't take."
"However, I do not meet the requirements of the 'Mountain Sea Realm Bloodline'."
In fact.
The so-called "Mountain Sea Realm bloodline" refers to the bloodline of Earthling.
Human beings are divided into billions of races, primarily because of intermarriage, which creates new hybrid races. Secondly, the living environment also plays a significant role. Each Life Planet has its own unique characteristics, and ordinary life forms are gradually influenced by the environment as they reproduce and evolve.
The higher the bloodline, the less it is affected.
The fact that the Chaos City Lord can see through a person's soul is something that not everyone can do; being able to limit bloodlines is already the limit.
When Lin Yan first transmigrated, he was indeed of Earthling blood. However, after he began to integrate Superhuman Cells, he could only say that his appearance was the same. His cells, genetic material, and so on had no connection to his previous appearance.
"We can only rely on others. We don't know the specifics of this matter yet, and we can't just do someone else's work for us."
Lin Yan thought for a moment, "Zhi'an absorbed the Spirit Marrow and is now at ten times the Gene Level. Her situation is different from mine. She can still be considered to have Earthling blood in essence, but that's all we can say. After all, I'm not facing an existence like the Chaos City Lord. I shouldn't overestimate his abilities."
"Fine, I've decided on you, Lin Tangtang!"
After thinking it over, he finally decided on the candidate.
Whoosh!
Lin Yan into a stream of light, his physical body traversing the Dark Universe to find Lin Tangtang on Earth.
In a vast divine kingdom.
The endless ocean ripples, with scattered icebergs dotting its surface, and majestic mountain ranges stretching endlessly.
"Whoosh..." Between these mountains and seas, countless azure dragons meandered and flew through the heavens and earth.
"Hold head high!"
Beautiful birds with colorful wings can be seen everywhere. In this vast divine kingdom, there are thousands of strange and peculiar beasts, some beautiful and some ferocious.
Millions of monsters inhabit and live here, creating a vibrant and thriving place.
At the highest point in the center of the entire divine kingdom, an ancient temple floats, its doors tightly closed, and its walls covered with intricate carvings.
Nine silver-white Pyramid Ship slowly rotated around the temple below, endlessly repeating the cycle.
Suddenly--
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
The nine pyramids trembled simultaneously and emitted a dazzling purple light. Their bases also cracked open at the same time, and countless streams of purple light flew out from the bases. These countless purple rays quickly connected to the temple at the highest point of this divine kingdom.
Boom!
The temple was bathed in a brilliant purple light, and its gates slowly opened.
At the same time, on the throne of the temple, eternal and immortal life awakens from its long slumber.
His entire body seemed to be cast in metal, all silver except for some gold at his waist and arms. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils that were chilling, filled with a profound sorrow.
"Master, I miss you so much." He clenched his fist, his body trembling slightly.
"Smack!"
"Plop!" Tears as white as ice crystals dripped from his eyes.
Through the hazy, tearful light, he seemed to see that carefree departing figure, embarking on that path of Life and Death Inheritance with uncertainty and fortune.
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Obeying his master's command, he waited there.
Waiting and waiting...
Over a period of 2600 years, his recognition process automatically ended, and his owner never returned.
He was heartbroken and in great pain, but he still waited there.
Because the master said that as the lord of the Mountain Sea Realm, he bears the responsibility of making the Mountain Sea Realm rise. The master had made prior arrangements, and there is such a route with another Life Planet in the surrounding star field.
If any outstanding geniuses emerge in the Mountain Sea Realm, let them travel along this route, and instruct them to observe who among them is qualified to inherit the master's treasure once all the aftermath has subsided.
That's how it started.
But as time went on...
No one knows what happened, but no one has traveled this route since.
As time went by, he even went back to the Mountain Sea Realm in person, but by then, that blue planet had been completely shattered!
Having lost his goal, he returned to the temple and fell into a deep sleep, but still followed his master's instructions, using the intelligent system to monitor the flight path.
Now... billions of years have passed.
"The successor?" He suddenly stood up from the throne, a hint of madness in his eyes, but then he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was much calmer.
His soft voice echoed in the temple.
"Master's treasures... are not so easy to take."
