Secret Method Cultivation

After completely taking over the Ruins of Civilization No. 12, Lin Qingyu spent a few more days roaming the sea. With Bata's radar, he recorded the distribution and movements of a large number of sea monsters.

After casually killing two Monster Kings, Lin Qingyu returned to the Base City with their corpses.

"Xiao Yu, you want to exchange for items produced by Ancient Civilization Ruins? And in such a large quantity?" Jia Yi asked.

"Mm, I'm interested in those things." Lin Qingyu replied. "Also, if possible, help me purchase some materials from other organizations as well."

After considering it for a moment, Jia Yi did not refuse Lin Qingyu's request.

Although there were not many items left behind in the Ancient Civilization Ruins, the uses of most of them were unknown. Rather than simply leaving them there, it was indeed better to hand them over to Lin Qingyu's research institute for study.

If not for the sheer quantity Lin Qingyu was exchanging for this time, he would not even have needed to trade King level monster corpses. He could have simply submitted an application in his capacity as the director of the research institute, and materials would have been allocated to him directly.

As for purchasing from other organizations, that was not a problem either.

After all, Lin Qingyu had recently become one of the most talked-about figures in martial artist circles. He had become Planetary level the moment he awakened, and within a few months, he had been able to exchange blows with Hong.

Now, he had even become the Third Speaker of the War God Palace Council!

Martial strength, wealth, authority—Lin Qingyu had reached the pinnacle of this world in every regard, yet he had only just turned sixteen!

His miraculous rise had left many people unable even to feel jealous. Aside from certain top-tier powers that wanted to probe the secret behind Lin Qingyu's rise, most people qualified to know his background were trying to curry favor with him.

Unfortunately, to outsiders, Lin Qingyu seemed almost autistic.

Every day, he was either cultivating or heading into the Wilderness Zone to kill monsters. At most, he would pay attention to the affairs of his research institute.

The people he interacted with were basically limited to his father and mother, as well as Hong, Jia Yi, and Li Dawei.

This left many people who wanted to ingratiate themselves with Lin Qingyu unable to find an opening.

Now that Lin Qingyu had finally made a request, those people naturally would do their utmost to handle the matter well.

To the various organizations around the world, Ancient Civilization Ruins—or rather, extraterrestrial civilization ruins—were important, but they did not affect their foundations.

After all, they did not have an intelligence like Bata. They had no way to piece together a spacecraft from those wreckages.

"When the time comes, we'll place the Ancient Civilization Ruins wreckage here. Do you need us to send a separate unit to receive it?" Jia Yi said.

"That won't be necessary." Lin Qingyu said. "I have a way to handle it. I visited the Civilization No. 12 Ruins before and gained something from it."

"What!" Jia Yi stood up in shock. "No. 12? Xiao Yu, you went to a Deadly zone!"

"I only went because I was confident." Lin Qingyu looked at Jia Yi.

"You..." Jia Yi frowned at Lin Qingyu, and there was even a trace of anger in his voice. "Your life is far more important than exploring the mysteries of those so-called Ancient Civilization Ruins! Those who are good at swimming drown in water. Don't always rely on your talent and strength to act recklessly!"

"Sorry. It won't happen again." Lin Qingyu did not argue with Jia Yi. After all, to anyone unaware of his circumstances, his actions really had been far too risky.

"This time, you were truly in too much danger! As punishment, I order you to stay in the Base City for one month. You are not allowed to go to the Wilderness Zone." After thinking for a moment, Jia Yi spoke sternly.

Although he was no longer as strong as Lin Qingyu, he was still, at least, Lin Qingyu's teacher. Naturally, he could make Lin Qingyu accept some punishment.

Lin Qingyu obediently nodded and agreed to Jia Yi's suggestion.

After all, he still had to wait for Bata to repair the Black Dragon Mountain X81. It truly was not suitable for him to travel far anytime soon.

After Lin Qingyu left, Jia Yi sighed, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Old Jia, what is it?" An elderly man's voice sounded.

"Old Zhou, I need to ask you for a favor." Jia Yi said. "You know Lin Qingyu, right?"

"Of course. Your disciple has already become the Third Speaker. If we really count it, he's probably Huaxia Country's strongest person now, isn't he?" the old man surnamed Zhou said. "What happened?"

"Mm, I hope you can give him a Black God Suit." Jia Yi said. "This time, he brought back a distribution map of the sea monsters. Combined with the monsters he killed before, his contributions should already be enough."

Lin Qingyu had risen too quickly. It had been less than ten months in total, and he had not applied for one himself, so he still did not have a Black God Suit.

"That won't be a problem, but did something happen to him? Was he injured?" the old man surnamed Zhou asked.

"No, but he went into the Ruins of Civilization No. 12." Jia Yi said.

"Gasp—" the old man surnamed Zhou sucked in a cold breath. "That kid has too much nerve! That's a Deadly zone!"

"I've put him under house arrest in the Base City for a month, but he is a Speaker level powerhouse after all. I can't keep him from going out forever, so I can only find ways to improve his ability to save his own life." Jia Yi sounded rather helpless.

"I understand. I'll arrange it immediately," the old man surnamed Zhou said.

Lin Qingyu's safety was far more important than a Black God Suit.

Thus, the next day, while Lin Qingyu was training within the Virtual Space opened by Bata, he received a Black God Suit.

Although Bata had already prepared one for him, Lin Qingyu still contacted Jia Yi to express his gratitude as soon as he received it.

Three days after he began his house arrest in the Base City, Hong sent Lin Qingyu a message. Thor had gained some insight into Domain and needed to enter seclusion for a while. After breaking through to Domain 3rd layer, Hong had also sensed his body beginning to evolve, and he was about to advance to a higher Planetary level. Furthermore, they needed to cultivate new force techniques and moves, so their originally planned sparring and exchange with Lin Qingyu might have to be postponed for some time.

"Postponed?" Lin Qingyu looked at the message. "That's fine. It's about time I used this period to cultivate Yunmo Star's secret techniques."

Although several months had passed since he received Meteorite Star's inheritance, he had spent most of his time in seclusion comprehending Domain and had not cultivated Yunmo Star's secret techniques at all.

There was still some time before Bata repaired the Black Dragon Mountain X81, making this the perfect time to cultivate the secret techniques within Yunmo Star's inheritance.

In June of 2051, while still under house arrest, Lin Qingyu began memorizing the various secret techniques within the Yunmo Star Inheritance.

Making use of this period of house arrest at home, he also became sufficiently familiar with Yunmo Star's various inheritances. With the two abilities of Absolute Record and True Deduction within Will Space, he gained entry into the "Control Chapter" and "Illusion Chapter" of the foundational section of the Yunmo Star Inheritance.

Lin Qingyu's willpower had reached the Undying level, while Void Conception gave him a thought speed close to that of an Undying.

Within Will Space, he could multitask, controlling several different Information Models at once to practice Yunmo Star's inheritance. Naturally, his learning speed was astonishingly fast.

Inside the Gravity Room modified by Bata, Lin Qingyu stood bare-chested, using Mental Force to control dozens of blades beneath twenty-thousandfold gravity.

The high-speed blades circled Lin Qingyu, leaving behind streaks of afterimages, like comets orbiting a star.

"As expected of a genius who grasped Domain at the Planetary level. In just one month, you've cultivated the Control Chapter to this degree." Bata praised. "You've already achieved minor mastery of the two key principles, 'Condense' and 'Dance.' There are still seven principles left. Try to bring all of them to minor mastery before the spacecraft is repaired. That way, your Mental Force amplitude should be able to reach above 50."

"If the other principles are at the same level as Condense and Dance, I estimate I won't even need half a year. They're not challenging at all." Lin Qingyu said confidently.

"Heh, I never thought the requirements set by Demon Bata would be considered easy by someone?" Bata cried out strangely, as though Lin Qingyu's arrogant words had provoked him. "Lin Qingyu, you want something more challenging? No problem. I'll set some standards for you!"

Very quickly, a large number of additional requirements set by Bata appeared before Lin Qingyu. They were far more difficult than the plan originally laid out.
