Mu Xing Country Lord's Past!

Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.

Above Thunder Island was an endless Chaos Qi flow. The palace of the Chaos City Lord was shrouded in this Chaos Qi flow. The Mu Xing Country Lord led Lin Yan to fly deeper into the air, and the Chaos Qi flow currents parted to both sides as they continued to move forward.

Silence.

The Mu Xing Country Lord didn't say much, but Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart as he looked at the Chaos Qi flow.

Through the original plot, he knew...

At the deepest part of this Chaos Qi flow lies the Universe Origin of the Virtual Universe!

In Lin Yan's view, the most powerful and heaven-defying aspect of the legendary human race's "Primordial Ancestor" was not his invincible combat power in the Cosmic Sea, but rather the secret method he used to create this "Virtual Universe"!

In the Primordial Universe, countless Myriad Races and beings cultivated by sensing the Universe Origin. Only by receiving the divine power supply from the "Origin Ocean" could they achieve everything. Even the Universe's Strongest dared not resist in the slightest, making it incredibly mysterious.

In fact, the technology of "virtual world" in the universe is quite advanced, but even the virtual world of the Mechanical race cannot allow strong people to comprehend and cultivate in it, because the Universe Origin cannot be sensed in the virtual world.

Moreover, the most advanced virtual world of the Mechanical race can only cover a star sector and requires a large amount of energy.

However, the Virtual Universe is different. It almost permeates the entire universe, forming its own Universe Origin. Everything in it can be virtualized, and any law can be comprehended and cultivated within it!

In the Virtual Universe, countless powerful beings cultivate every moment, and even Universe Venerable and universe masters practice secret techniques, yet they consume almost no energy.

Just as the energy of the Primordial Universe is eternal, the Virtual Universe can do the same, except that one is real and the other is virtual. It is almost another Primordial Universe!

How incredibly defying the heavens!

Lin Yan could guess that the person his teacher, the Mu Xing Country Lord, was taking him to see... must be this Primordial Ancestor! The new teacher she recommended was none other than this unparalleled figure in the human race throughout history!

To be honest, Lin Yan wouldn't be surprised if the Chaos City Lord or even the Great Axe Founder took him as a disciple. After all, he had demonstrated his value. In fact, having cultivated to this level, even if a Lord of the Universe took him as a disciple, it would be difficult for anything to change.

But...

That was the Primordial Ancestor!

The three powerful universe masters of the Virtual Universe Lineage are secondary.

In the original story, the Universe's Strongest, the "Great Axe Founder," unleashed his power after obtaining the Ultimate Supreme Treasure, the axe. His strength was so great that it was close to that of the original Primordial Ancestor. This was largely due to the guidance and influence of the Primordial Ancestor.

This is just one example.

Such a being would actually want to take me as a disciple?

"If I were truly accepted as a disciple by the Primordial Ancestor, wouldn't I become the junior brother of the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Ghost Marquis, Luo Feng's senior uncle?"

"Putting everything else aside, this seniority is indeed outrageous. No one in the clan will dare to make things difficult for me anymore."

Such a thought suddenly surfaced in Lin Yan's mind.

Then it was quickly dismissed.

The Primordial Ancestor has been suppressed by the Universe Origin and can only appear in the Virtual Universe. Even if he really takes me as his disciple, this matter will definitely be kept secret. It is estimated that only the Lord of the Universe will know about it.

Even if the Lord of Ghost Marquis knew that he was the Lord of the Universe, he would not be willing to call a World Master "Uncle-Master," and would probably try to avoid him in normal times.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but cast his gaze at the Mu Xing Country Lord.

The teacher knows all sorts of secrets, some of which are known in far too much detail. He is clearly not an ordinary Universe Overlord. Could he also be a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor?

He was thinking about it.

"We've arrived!" said the Mu Xing Country Lord.

All around, the endless air currents had thinned, and in the far distance of the endless void, there stood an immeasurably majestic statue.

Surrounded by air currents, the towering statue, whose height was immeasurable, emanated endless fluctuations of laws.

Not only the Ten Great Basic Laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time, but also the fluctuations of the integrated operation Law of Golden-Space, Mu Kong, Water-Void, etc., all surged out from the endless statues.

"The Primordial Ancestor," Lin Yan murmured to himself, gazing at the towering statue in the distance.

He was a slightly thin man, wearing a simple white robe, with a smiling face. His smile... was a kind of perfection born from seeing through everything.

He was tall and imposing, standing tall and upright.

The endless universe revolves around him.

"Lin Yan, do you remember the story I told you?" The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at the statue and said softly, "This is the Primordial Ancestor! The greatest being in the history of the human race, the founder of the Virtual Universe!"

"In the Virtual Universe Company, the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the top-tier Universe Overlord guards the Blood Luo World, the 'Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace,' are all his personal disciples. If he hadn't been suppressed, how would the Alien Race dare to plot against you in the slightest? If you offend them even slightly, they would have to apologize."

"The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace was originally a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor. There are only three top-tier Universe Overlord among the human race, and each of them has an extraordinary identity," Lin Yan thought to himself.

Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace, Venerable Ancestor Tree, Lord of Star Prison Demon!

Lin Yan had contact with both of them, and even had a significant connection with them. Ancestor Tree was the eldest disciple of the Mu Xing Country Lord, and the "Primordial Beginning" technique created by the Lord of Star Prison Demon had a profound influence on Lin Yan's cultivation path.

The Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace appears even more mysterious, with such an unexpected identity.

"Qian Xing." A very ordinary voice rang out.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan turned his head sharply and saw the white-robed figure not far away. It looked like the man in the towering statue. The smile on his face was as gentle as a spring breeze, which made people feel extremely peaceful.

"Father," Mu Xing Country Lord, bowing as he saw the man in white robes.

Lin Yan blinked.

Father?

In other words, the Mu Xing Country Lord was not the Primordial Ancestor's disciple, but his daughter?

Is Qian Xing... the teacher's real name?

"Hmm." The man in white robes nodded, then turned to look at Lin Yan, his eyes seeming to see through everything in the Infinite Universe. "This is the first time we've met, Lin Yan."

"Lin Yan pays respects to the Primordial Ancestor!" Lin Yan respectfully.

"Your cultivation time is extremely short, your will is extremely strong, and your encounters are extraordinary. Very good." The Primordial Ancestor praised softly. "Chaos and Mu Xing both think highly of you and believe that your existence can shoulder the expectations of the clan. They want me to personally take you as their disciple. Are you willing?"

"This disciple is willing," Lin Yan said respectfully.

He originally thought that as the Primordial Ancestor, even if he accepted him as a disciple, he would likely only be a nominal disciple for the time being, and only after observation and confirmation could he become a personal disciple. However, there was no such step at all, which surprised Lin Yan.

The white-robed Primordial Ancestor nodded slightly.

He had already stood at the pinnacle of the universe before he was suppressed. That battle against the origin of the Primordial Universe gave him many insights. He became even stronger during the years of Permanently Suppressed. No matter how talented he was, he didn't care. But since he had really decided to take Lin Yan as his disciple, why should there be any more tests?

If someone feels there's a possibility they won't pass the test, they won't even appear before him.

"Father, I shall take my leave now, but... Lin Yan is my most prized disciple. He is in your hands now, so you must teach him with care," the Mu Xing Country Lord suddenly said.

"Don't worry," the white-robed man smiled, then asked, "Still unable to break through?"

The Mu Xing Country Lord shook his head.

The Primordial Ancestor sighed softly in his heart.

The Mu Xing Country Lord looked at Lin Yan again. "Lin Yan, when you return from the Imitation Black Hell Tower, remember to come see me in the Mu Xing Universe Country."

"Yes, teacher," Lin Yan replied respectfully.

The Mu Xing Country Lord revealed a slight smile, and then his figure vanished into thin air.

Lin Yan watched the disappearing figure, his eyes flickering slightly.

"I can sense that you have many doubts." Primordial Ancestor looked at Lin Yan and suddenly said softly, "Don't underestimate Qian Xing just because she's Universe Overlord. She's just lacking some luck. She's a truly remarkable person."

"Hmm?" Lin Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Teacher of the Mu Xing Country Lord?

Why would the Primordial Ancestor say such a thing?

"For most powerful beings, as time goes by, their loved ones will leave them. Very few can become Immortal God."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in the Primordial Ancestor's eyes. "Back then, I was the most dazzling genius of the clan, but I was just an ordinary human. I had only cultivated for ten thousand years, yet my Law Comprehension was comparable to that of Peak Feng Wang."

"As for Qian Xing... in terms of comprehension, aptitude, and talent, he is not even average, but very poor. It is extremely difficult for him to make any progress. Even with my guidance, it is still extremely difficult for him to become World Master."

Lin Yan was taken aback.

If it were without anyone to guide them, it would be fine, but even with Yuan's guidance, they still struggled to become World Master?

With such qualifications, how could Master Mu Xing Country Lord possibly become Universe Overlord?

"At that time, it was the early stage of the birth of the Primordial Universe. All kinds of secret techniques and treasures were almost in the desert. With such comprehension and talent, it was almost impossible for her to cross the threshold of immortality. She cultivated very hard, but unfortunately she could not get results. In this way, she devoted her limited life to cultivation in which she could not see any hope."

"Many people secretly mocked her, and even I heard about it, not to mention she herself." The Primordial Ancestor shook his head. "But what was unexpected was that... with her amazing will and perseverance, plus some resources I obtained, she actually managed to break through to immortality when she was nearing her limit, even if she was just a common Immortal God."

Lin Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

The lifespan limit of the human World Master is 1000 epochs. He never imagined that his teacher had such a past.

This reminded Lin Yan of the King Yan Zhu. His father, the Venerable Shi Huo, was a genius on par with Ke Di, while the King Yan Zhu's talent was quite ordinary.

Strictly speaking, however, Venerable Shi Huo's talent is far inferior to that of the Primordial Ancestor, and the talent of the Mu Xing Country Lord's teacher should be far inferior to that of King Yan Zhu.

He continued to listen.

"But for the path of the strong, immortality is only the beginning. Once you reach immortality, it becomes even more difficult to comprehend the laws and to make further progress."

The Primordial Ancestor shook his head. "It was during that time that Giant Axe and Chaos began to follow me and learn. During that long period of time, I became the first Universe's Strongest for my race, and Giant Axe and Chaos both became masters of the universe, but Qian Xing... is still just an Immortal God."

"If it were an ordinary person, they would have given up long ago. But she persists. She is my only remaining relative, and I am willing to give her more help and resources to improve her Life Gene Level. Supreme Treasure even has several supreme treasures. Even though she is much worse in other aspects, she is still unmatched among Immortal God."

"I thought this was the limit, but I never expected that... the encounter she had during an adventure in a Cosmic Secret Realm would change everything for her."

Lin Yan's dark eyes suddenly became bright and piercing.

He looked at the man in white robes, and when he heard those words, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"In that Cosmic Secret Realm, Qian Xing obtained a treasure from before the Great Destruction Era, called the 'Blood Sea Plate'!"

"That should have been a special object in the Cosmic Sea, but for some unknown reason, it was left in the Primordial Universe. Even though the Primordial Universe experienced destruction and rebirth, it was not damaged in the slightest and formed Cosmic Secret Realm during the evolution process."

"This Blood Sea Plate is a rare treasure in itself, and it contains a heaven-defying inheritance. Perhaps due to the fate of the Ancient Civilization's powerful figures who left behind this inheritance, it is restricted to those with extremely poor talent but extremely tenacious willpower, who may be able to obtain the treasure."

"After receiving the inheritance, she obtained several Core Inheritance, but due to the Inheritance Mark, if they were passed on to outsiders, her soul would be immediately Annihilation, and even if Reverse Space-Time and be resurrected, it would not change anything!"

"Besides the core Inheritance Secret Technique, there are a few special inheritances that can be passed on to outsiders. For example, the 'Black Hole Sacred Body' that you cultivate is one of them. There are also some other cultivation information. Although there is very little of this information, it is of immeasurable value and has greatly inspired me," the Primordial Ancestor said.

Lin Yan was secretly alarmed.

The source of "The Black Hole Sacred Body" is actually here.

He had long harbored doubts. When he first obtained this secret technique, he thought it was just a Body Amplitude Secret Method. However, after actually cultivating it, he no longer thought that way. The "Black Hole Sacred Body" has almost strict requirements on the Law Comprehension, the Life Level, and the resources and materials. A normal Body Amplitude Secret Method only needs to meet one of these requirements.

For example, "Qingluo True Body" is about Law Comprehension, while "Myriad Manifestations" of the Golden Horn Beast is about resources and materials. As for the Life Level... if one reaches Perfect Gene, many Body Amplitude Secret Method can be easily cultivated to their extreme.

The Black Hole Sacred Body is divided into nine levels. The fifth level requires reaching the Perfect Gene Level, and the requirements for the Life Level are even higher. Obviously, it could not have been created by the strong of the human race. He judged that it should be a secret technique that complements the Divine Power route.

This is different from the "Nine Tribulations Scripture".

The Nine Tribulations Scripture is capable of defying the Laws of Cosmic Operation and surpassing the limits by a hundredfold in front of the Lord of the Universe. The Black Hole Sacred Body is not used to improve one 'Life Level at all, but is an auxiliary secret technique after reaching the corresponding Life Level. Its later content is also related to the Space-Time Fusion Law.

Although they are special, neither the "Divine Power route" nor the "Space-Time Fusion Law" exceeds the scope of the Universe's Strongest, so they are naturally not affected or obscured by the Primal Universe Will.

"Even if the Primordial Ancestor was extraordinary, how could he have reached that level if he was just a blind man feeling an elephant? Even the clan's treasure that he left to the Chaos City Lord incorporated the ideas of Mechanical Flow, which was extremely brilliant." Lin Yan pondered in his heart, "It's just a pity that it doesn't contain much cultivation information, and we still took many detours."

The Primordial Ancestor, unaware of Lin Yan's thoughts, continued, "And within this Core Inheritance, the one that will be of the greatest help to Qian Xing... is a secret technique that defies the Laws of Cosmic Operation!"

"This secret technique allowed her to break through the limitations of the Laws of Cosmic Operation, elevate her Life Gene Level, and enhance her Soul Potential and talent. It was precisely because of this secret technique that she gradually transformed from an Immortal God with extremely poor aptitude into Universe Venerable!"

"In addition to the other Inheritance Secret Technique and powerful Supreme Treasure she obtained, although she did not reach the level of the Lord of the Universe, her strength was in no way inferior to that of Chaos. At that time, she was not yet the 'Mu Xing Country Lord'. She killed countless people and achieved a great reputation. However, the Alien Race had no idea that she was a powerful figure of my human race and the daughter of my 'Yuan'!"

The Primordial Ancestor's voice suddenly rose in pitch, tinged with pride.

Lin Yan was completely stunned when he heard this.

Isn't the development after obtaining the "Blood Sea Plate" just a replica of Luo Feng's future?

At best, the "Duan Donghe Inheritance" is better. In addition to the "Duan Donghe Inheritance", Luo Feng also has the "Nine Nether Blood Sea" clone, as well as various arrangements made by the Mountain Master, including the Star Tower.

Lin Yan couldn't help but ask, "But why now..."

Although he asked the question, he already knew what was going on in his heart.

The Mu Xing Country Lord... must have perished once!

This was the only explanation he could think of.

It's hard to say whether the secret method for elevating Life Level is similar to the "Golden Framework," but it's at least equivalent to the "Nine Tribulations Scripture." Lin Yan knew very well that besides the "Nine Tribulations Scripture," there were other opportunities like this that had appeared in the universe before.

In the original story, when other top-tier Universe's Strongest wanted to assassinate Luo Feng, their first target was Soul Control, and their second target was soul infiltration and annihilation. This was because they knew that Luo Feng must have had an extremely extraordinary Special Encounters. Once he was resurrected by Reverse Space-Time, those experiences and even his memories could not be brought back.

If one did not clearly know this, how could one easily make such a judgment?

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, Qian Xing had no choice but to abandon her most Supreme Treasure and perished in the Cosmic Sea. The Blood Sea Plate, which was extremely important to her, could never be retrieved."

The Primordial Ancestor sighed softly, "At this time, she was only half a step away from becoming the Lord of the Universe. Even if she was resurrected, she lost that miraculous secret technique and could no longer transcend the Zhou Ji. She only had a body a hundred times stronger than that of a human Venerable, and she could not use many secret techniques."

"If she could truly cross that threshold, she might be able to return to her peak. However, after losing that miraculous encounter, her talent returned to its former state, and even after countless epochs, she still couldn't make any progress."

"What a pity, what a pity."

Lin Yan remained silent for a while.

Perhaps it really is fate playing tricks on us; after cultivating diligently for millions of years, we were ultimately just one step short of success.

"Besides me, only Giant Axe and Chaos know about this," the Primordial Ancestor said. "Chaos didn't take you as his disciple because he felt it was unnecessary. He might not be able to do better than Qian Xing. Qian Xing didn't want to talk about these things, so he never told you."

"But I want you to understand that my daughter is a remarkable person, and that is not because she is 'Yuan's' daughter."

Lin Yan was slightly shaken.

The image of that figure in the bright purple robe appeared in his mind. In these endless years, she seemed to be persisting in cultivating to a higher realm, even if there was no result, even if she had fallen from a higher peak.

Just like her more distant past, she never gave up.

"I created the Virtual Universe, and I know a great deal of secrets. Take the Mountain Master who transformed the Earth, for example. I know that in addition to nurturing the Yan Di, he also had another universe master hiding in his race as Universe Overlord, but I never interfere."

Lin Yan knew that he was referring to "Pu Ti," the eldest disciple of the Mountain Master. It was indeed impossible for a universe master to hide something from the Virtual Universe within the human race.

The Primordial Ancestor looked at Lin Yan: "I have been watching you for a long time. Your will is very strong, comparable to Universe Overlord, and your mental state is also very impressive. It is unheard of for World Master to be able to do this. As for your opportunities... needless to say, Chaos and the others said that you can change the future of the race, and I believe it."

"However, opportunities can be gained, but they can also be lost. You have the potential to become a super strong person, but you are not yet one."

He said softly, "From now on, follow me in your cultivation."
