Inside the black streamlined spacecraft speeding through space.
Lian Luo sat cross-legged, a thread of consciousness entering the Cosmic Origin as he comprehended the omnipresent Space Law.
Before breaking through to immortality, he had already fully grasped all 108 essences of the Space Law. Thus, even after becoming immortal, converting his body into a Fire Divine Body and his internal world into a divine kingdom, it did not affect his continued comprehension of the Space Law.
Of course, as for laws other than the Space Law, he could barely sense any law fluctuations at all. Trying to comprehend them was not merely a thousand or ten thousand times harder than during his World Master stage.
"Oh? The secret techniques have arrived?" Lian Luo suddenly opened his eyes as he calmly comprehended the Space Law, a faint smile on his face.
Unlike weapons, treasures, detectors, and other items, purchased secret techniques only needed to be copied and delivered to him through the Virtual Universe.
Thus, not long after he placed the order, the Virtual Universe notified him that the "Soul Suppressing Seal" and "Myriad Streams Return to Origin" he had purchased had been delivered to his Thunder Island palace.
Whoosh!
A thread of Lian Luo's consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, and his figure appeared in his Thunder Island palace.
At this moment, a company staff member was already waiting outside the palace. Upon seeing Lian Luo appear, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Lord Blood-Robed Marquis, these are the secret techniques you ordered. Please inspect them!"
"Not bad!" Lian Luo accepted the golden and black briefcases with a smile.
The staff member respectfully said, "Lord Blood-Robed Marquis, if there are no issues, I shall take my leave!"
Lian Luo nodded. "Go!"
"Secret technique Soul Suppressing Seal! And the secret technique Myriad Streams Return to Origin!" After returning to the palace, Lian Luo placed the two briefcases on the table and opened them with a click.
Once the cases were opened, Lian Luo clearly saw what was inside.
The golden briefcase contained only a single book. The book was slightly smaller than the briefcase and roughly twenty centimeters thick. Its cover bore the four ancient characters, "Myriad Streams Return to Origin," with the signature "Mother Ancestor" beneath them.
These six characters resembled tangled, interwoven roots of a withered tree, emanating an ancient, eternal mystery.
"Mother Ancestor created the secret technique Myriad Streams Return to Origin!" Lian Luo nodded slightly. Mother Ancestor was a supreme existence within the Human race, qualified to leave behind a Chaos Tablet in Chaos City!
With Lian Luo's current authority in the Virtual Universe, he still could not look up any information about her.
"Even Venerables have the authority to investigate her. Since I cannot find anything, Mother Ancestor should be a Universe Master or a Universe Overlord!" Lian Luo thought to himself.
Then, he looked toward the black briefcase. The manual inside was much thicker, roughly thirty centimeters thick. Aside from the three characters "Soul Suppressing Seal" on the cover, the edge bore the signature "Tian Shi."
Seeing those two characters that resembled the cosmic starry sky, Lian Luo could not help but be somewhat surprised. "Palace Master Tian Shi actually created the Soul Suppressing Seal secret technique!"
Lian Luo likewise lacked the authority to investigate Palace Master Tian Shi's information. However, Palace Master Tian Shi had appeared in the original novel, so Lian Luo knew of his existence.
Palace Master Tian Shi had long been stationed on the Blood Luo Continent, suppressing an entire race by himself. He was one of the Human race's three top-tier Universe Overlords, with combat power comparable to that of the most ordinary Universe Masters!
In fact, to the Human race, a top-tier Universe Overlord like Palace Master Tian Shi was even more important than an ordinary Universe Master.
Because Universe Overlords could be resurrected by reversing time and space, they were not afraid of death at all and dared to fight and kill. In certain situations, Palace Master Tian Shi could play a greater role than even a Universe Master.
Shaking his head and casting aside the various thoughts in his mind, Lian Luo's gaze settled on the two manuals.
Very quickly, he made a decision. "Let the Nine Li clone study the soul enslavement secret technique! I'll study the soul defense secret technique!"
Although, due to the Bula Race's peculiar nature, his personality and temperament were completely different from those of the Nine Li clone, as though they were two separate people, their memories could be shared. Naturally, their comprehension could be shared as well.
If he learned something, it meant the Nine Li clone had learned it too. If the Nine Li clone learned something, he would naturally be able to master it as well!
Of course, to keep his alternate identity from being discovered by the Virtual Universe, he could not directly give this manual to the Nine Li clone. Opening the "Myriad Streams Return to Origin" secret technique, Lian Luo carefully read every word and diagram, firmly memorizing its contents.
Once he remembered it, the Nine Li clone naturally remembered it as well.
As he read, he also pondered the secret technique. It was rather unusual: one treated one's own soul as an ancient tree, then split strands of soul threads like roots from within it to control one soul servant after another. However many times one's divine body amplitude was multiplied, that was how many roots one could split off. The so-called myriad streams referred to these ten thousand soul threads...
Beep beep! Master, you have a new email!
After recording all the contents of the "Myriad Streams Return to Origin" secret technique and handing it over to the Nine Li clone for study, Lian Luo opened the "Soul Suppressing Seal" secret technique. Just as he was about to begin comprehending it, his artificial intelligence assistant's notification sounded by his ear.
"Who sent me an email?" Lian Luo wondered as he opened his inbox. At a glance, he saw the email sitting at the very top. The sender was Lian Qingzhu.
Lian Luo opened the email with a smile. "It's from that descendant of mine. I wonder what she wants from me?"
At this moment, in the Virtual Universe, on Rock Island of Ganwu Continent, within the Lian Clan's core territory.
Inside a towering palace stood only a purple-robed young woman and a thin bald young man, speaking quietly together.
The thin bald young man looked somewhat anxious. Unable to restrain himself, he asked, "Great Elder, do you think our ancestor will receive me?"
"Our ancestor is currently fighting in the Outer Domain Battlefield. I cannot say whether he has time to receive you!" Lian Qingzhu said with a smile. "But Chi Tong, you passed the qualification battle and entered the Virtual Universe Company's strongest Primal Secret Realm. Our ancestor will definitely be delighted to hear about it!"
She looked at the thin bald young man before her, her eyes filled with delight.
More than five thousand years ago, when Lian Luo returned to Blood God Star, he had met only her. The other members of the Lian Clan did not even know that their ancestor had returned from death.
Lian Qingzhu had not revealed this secret to anyone else. Only today, when the Lian Clan's most outstanding genius, Lian Chi Tong, passed the Virtual Universe Company's internal qualification battle and entered the Primal Secret Realm, coming to share the good news with her, did she reveal for the first time that their ancestor had returned to life.
Upon hearing this secret, Lian Chi Tong was naturally overwhelmed with excitement and immediately expressed his hope of paying respects to his ancestor.
After all, every member of the Lian Clan had grown up hearing the legendary tale of Lian Luo's rise from the moment they were born. In their hearts, Lian Luo was a true god. How could they not be thrilled at having the chance to meet their living ancestor?
Just as he was feeling excited and anxious, Lian Qingzhu smiled. "Chi Tong, our ancestor has asked me to take you to see him!"
