Yang Yu could see the skin on his hand vibrating very rapidly, albeit with a small amplitude.

During this vibration, wisps of grayish-black substance seeped out from the skin's pores.

This feeling is wonderful...

Feeling cool all over!

It felt as if all the flesh of my body had detached from my bones, leaving me out of control. I could only vaguely feel the continuous tremors, like a massage.

Deep within Yang Yu's body, the essence contained in the Millennium Willow Wood Heart, with its surging and boundless vitality, almost instantly merged into every part of Yang Yu's body, even penetrating to the genetic level.

This astonishing life force caused dramatic changes throughout Yang Yu's body, much like a sapling growing into a towering tree.

This moment.

Countless cells within Yang Yu's body are undergoing astonishing changes, and his genes are developing and improving rapidly, shedding useless genes and undergoing another perfect integration. This process is extremely swift, and it seems that Yang Yu's genes have absorbed a trace of special energy from the Millennium Willow Wood Heart, resulting in unique changes.

Cell activity is increasing rapidly.

Under this vibrant environment, Yang Yu's physical abilities are improving rapidly.

The texture of his bones and muscles seemed to have changed, and his skin and muscles were undergoing amazing changes. However, these changes did not cause Yang Yu any pain. He only felt a comfortable sensation, like a massage.

Within the boundless Consciousness Sea.

The Solid Spiritual Force, which had already decomposed into fragments, now completely transformed into droplets, and then into mist.

Instantly, his Consciousness Sea was filled with purple Spiritual Force Mist.

Furthermore, after being transformed by the Thunder Inheritance, these mists all carried wisps of purple Electric Glow!

The boundless Consciousness Sea had now become Paradise for Thunder!

As the Mental Force completely disintegrated.

The vital energy of the Millennium Willow Wood Heart is also at work.

Yang Yu's physical abilities are undergoing a terrifying improvement!

As the Spiritual Force within the Consciousness Sea was fully released.

The projected Mental Force was also constantly working in conjunction with the energy of the Millennium Willow Wood Heart to strengthen the body.

Finally.

More than half an hour passed.

When Yang Yu completely absorbed the Millennium Willow Wood Heart and the fragments of Mental Force in his Consciousness Sea were completely decomposed, Yang Yu's physical fitness and Spiritual Force both reached the limit of the Apprentice Stage!

Open your eyes.

A hint of shock flashed in Yang Yu's eyes. "As expected of the Willow Tree King that will become Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart tree in the future, even though the crystal core it is currently nurtured is only at the Millennium Willow Wood Heart level, the effect is surprisingly good."

Enhanced by the combined power of the Millennium Willow Wood Heart and the Thunder Spiritual Force.

At this moment, Yang Yu's physical abilities had been pushed to their limit.

The true limit below the Planetary Level!

"The upper limit of pure punching power for Senior War God is 512,000 kilograms, but I should have exceeded that by quite a bit!"

Having reached the limit of his soul strength at the Apprentice Stage, Yang Yu was able to clearly perceive the deep changes in his body.

The surging, boundless Thunder Origin Energy within his body, and the limitless Thunder Spiritual Force within his Consciousness Sea.

All of these factors allowed Yang Yu to build an incredibly solid foundation during his Apprentice Stage!

True perfection!

When both physical fitness and Mental Force reach a perfect state.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, this idea popped into Yang Yu's mind.

This state is also described in the Thunder Inheritance.

It is the most ideal and perfect state.

It is recorded in the Thunder Inheritance.

Even if the Successor's Bloodline Level.

However, as long as a solid foundation is laid before Planetary Level, one can achieve perfection in both physical and Mental Force.

Once one's strength reaches a certain level, the problem of low Bloodline Level can be completely compensated for.

And it can continue to improve in the future!

At that time, the Soul Devour Secret Technique will also introduce new content as the Successor's strength increases.

When the time comes, the new Soul Devour Secret Technique will not only be able to devour the True Spirit within the enemy's soul, but also devour and refine flesh and blood, optimizing and enhancing one's own genes!

This also elevates the Bloodline Level and Life Level of the Successor!

This information was revealed by the Thunder Inheritance in the illusory memory after Yang Yu's physical fitness and Mental Force reached a perfect state.

However, it may be too early to reach that stage, since it involves the profound essence of life. Without sufficient basic strength, even knowing such Secret Technique is useless for the time being.

After all, consuming flesh and blood to elevate Life Gene Level is roughly equivalent to choosing between the Divine Power Path or the Law Path to break through to True God after becoming the Universe Master.

Of course, improving the Life Gene Level is also very useful in the early stages, but these should be seriously considered after Yang Yu reaches the World Lord.

"A dual enhancement of body and soul!" Yang Yu's eyes gleamed. "This Soul Devour Secret Technique is truly miraculous!"

Yang Yu was already overjoyed by the increased soul strength and comprehension, but now the Soul Devour Secret Technique seems to have foreshadowed something new!

The methods used by the mysterious and powerful figure who left behind this This Inheritance truly shocked Yang Yu.

The 'Nine Calamities Secret Manual' left behind by the Zuoshanke is powerful enough, but compared to the Thunder Inheritance, it is far inferior!

And this is only the inheritance received before Planetary Level. I wonder what surprises the inheritance will bring as my strength increases?

"I can't wait!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Yang Yu stood up abruptly.

He jumped down from the tree and began practicing the Heavenly God Diagram.

With his physical abilities reaching their limit and his soul strength and comprehension greatly enhanced, Yang Yu is now beginning to feel more at ease practicing the second Heavenly God Diagram.

This time, Yang Yu practiced for much longer than before, and it didn't take him long to reach the later stage of the second Heavenly God Diagram!

Specifically, Yang Yu's current Body Force Output has reached 13 times!

He's not far from breaking through the 16-fold power threshold to become Planetary Level Martial Artist.

This was indeed a very fruitful experience.

Completed practicing the Heavenly God Diagram.

Yang Yu didn't rush to collect the Spirit of Plants and Trees; they wouldn't run away if left there.

Yang Yu is now eager to practice using the Thunder Net Diagram.

A thought crossed my mind.

Sixteen throwing knives, gleaming with a bluish-gold light, hovered around him.

Yang Yu then began practicing according to the requirements of the Thunder Net Diagram in the inherited text.

The Thunder Net Diagram, which was originally difficult to understand and had extremely high requirements, is now something Yang Yu practices with the same ease as the Heavenly God Diagram.

With practice.

The number of throwing knives flying around Yang Yu gradually increased.

17 handles.

18 handles.

Two and a half hours later.

The number of throwing knives swirling around Yang Yu had reached a staggering 24!

At this point, the Thunder Net Diagram composed of three bolts of Thunder was beginning to take shape.

You only need 32 throwing knives to truly master the skill.

By then, Yang Yu will also be able to meet the requirements for breaking through to the Planetary Level Spirit Reader.

I thought it would be difficult before, but this trip to Australia...

This allowed Yang Yu's body, soul, Mental Force, comprehension, and so on to reach the limits of the Apprentice Stage.

Practicing with these catalogs that I previously found obscure and difficult again felt surprisingly easy.

This also shows that the benefits of strengthening the soul, leading to a stronger consciousness and improved comprehension are immediate.

Yang Yu stopped practicing the Thunder Net Diagram only after he could no longer increase the number of throwing knives in a short period of time.

"In just two and a half hours, the Psychic Amplitude increased from 16 times to 24 times, wow!"

Even Yang Yu was taken aback by this terrifying rate of improvement.

However, considering that he had such an extraordinary Inheritance Guidance and that his own foundation had reached true perfection, such an improvement seemed understandable.

Satisfied, he put away the 24 hovering throwing knives.

Yang Yu began collecting the Spirit of Plants and Trees that had appeared on Mist Island so far, following the memories of the Willow Tree King.

Half a day later.

Yang Yu turned the already small Mist Island upside down.

Arriving at the edge of the lake, bathed in the bright sunshine.

Yang Yu began to tally up the spoils of this operation.

From the Willow Tree King's memories, Yang Yu also learned the names of these Spirit of Plants and Trees, which, in human language, are:

"Bailu Grass!"

"Iron-Armored Spirit Pearl!"

"Emerald Spirit Fruit!"

"Flame Bone Spirit Flower!"

"Cloud Spirit Flower!"

Among them, the Bailu Grass, just like its name suggests, is a small grass that grows to about half a meter tall, with its leaves covered in dewdrops.

The Iron-Armored Spirit Pearl is quite special; it is a spirit pearl nurtured within the Iron-Armored Spirit Tree, somewhat similar to the Willow Wood Heart. However, the Iron-Armored Spirit Pearl is perfectly round and about the size of a goose egg.

The size of the Emerald Spirit Fruit is similar to that of an apple, except that its skin is a vibrant emerald green and it emits a captivating fragrance that makes it very appetizing.

The Flame Bone Spirit Flower is truly magical; its three flowers seem to be flowing with crimson flames! Once you get close, it's like touching a flame, with extremely active energy flow—it's clearly no ordinary object.

The Cloud Spirit Flower, on the other hand, is more elegant, its entire body hidden in a light mist, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

Looking at the five Spirit of Plants and Trees placed in front of him.

Yang Yu was quite satisfied.

After all, this is only the early stage of the Grand Nirvana, and it is already quite remarkable that such a number of Spirit of Plants and Trees have been nurtured.

The only regret was that Yang Yu searched the entire Mist Island but couldn't find the Moyun Vine. Perhaps it was too early, and Babata hadn't released the Moyun Vine Seed or scattered the Muya Crystal to cultivate more powerful Monsters.

This is also why Yang Yu didn't find many Lord Monsters in the lake.

Moreover, after searching Mist Island for so long, Yang Yu still couldn't find any trace of Muya Crystal.

Although it's a bit of a pity that he didn't get the Moyun Vine, Yang Yu's strength is now no less than that of this Moyun Vine juvenile.

And who knows, if they find Babata deep underground later, he might just deliver it to them.

Yang Yu is quite confident in his talent.

After all, Babata was merely Sentient AI beside Marquis Level Immortal; how many Peerless Genius could he have possibly seen?

Babata would definitely be shocked to see that he had already achieved the Second Realm Domain Apprentice Stage.

However, Yang Yu has already obtained the heaven-defying Thunder Inheritance, which means he is destined not to become the Core Inheritance of the Yunmo Planet Lineage, but at most he can only become Registered Disciple.

But that's enough.

Yang Yu's original intention was simply to obtain some basic cultivation manuals for Martial Artist and Spirit Reader from Babata.

After discarding some of the less important Monsters materials from his backpack, Yang Yu put five Spirit of Plants and Trees into it.

Then, following his instincts, he controlled the throwing knife to dig into the ground!

The Original Work does not specify the exact location of the Yunmo Planet Spaceship, only stating that it is deep underground on Mist Island.

Luo Feng was able to find it because Babata was secretly guiding him.

Given Yang Yu's exceptional talent Spirit Reader, Babata will surely guide Yang Yu to find him.

In fact, Yang Yu had already attracted Babata's attention long ago.

At a location more than 10,000 meters underground.

Babata had regained his composure, but when he saw Yang Yu cultivating in a peculiar and mysterious way, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. "Could it be that this genius Yang Yu has already received some kind of inheritance?"

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why his cultivation speed was so fast. He could make such a great improvement in less than half a day by simply practicing according to a manual he had never seen before.

Moreover, the depth of those catalogs was so profound that even Babata, who prided himself on being knowledgeable, was completely unfamiliar with them.

"Is it just wishful thinking?" Babata suddenly became very frustrated. "No, we still have to bring him. Who knows how long it will take for another genius like him to emerge from Earthlings. Even if he has cultivated other inheritances, judging from his performance, as long as we accept his help, it's not impossible to ask him to avenge our boss when he becomes a true powerhouse!"

"After all, in the eyes of truly powerful beings, that Demon Hand King is just an ordinary nobody. Of course, it would be even better if he hadn't cultivated any other inheritances."

Having made up his mind, Babata quickly controlled the energy in the spaceship to sweep up several Muya Crystal and throw them in the path Yang Yu was exploring. At the same time, he secretly released the special Mental Force waves brought by the Yunmo Planet Spaceship, invisibly guiding Yang Yu to dig in his direction.

Deep underground.

Enveloped in Mental Force, Yang Yu was controlling a throwing knife to burrow forward through the ground.

Lacking a specific direction, Yang Yu began to dig according to his subconscious.

Sure enough, Yang Yu hadn't been digging for long when he smelled a strange aroma of rice.

"The smell of rice?"

Yang Yu, engrossed in digging through rocks and soil to clear a path, suddenly realized something and his eyes lit up. "Isn't that Muya Crystal?"

Sure enough, Babata was watching his every move, and his talent had caught his attention.

However, having already mastered the Thunder Inheritance, he was destined to be unable to accept the Yunmo Planet Inheritance.

However, as long as Babata's sincerity is sufficient, Yang Yu would not mind helping him take revenge in the future.

Alternatively, we could wait until Luo Feng appears and then let Luo Feng receive the Yunmo Planet Inheritance; either way is fine.

Thinking about all this, Yang Yu followed the scent as he moved forward.

Sure enough, three minutes later, Yang Yu saw a white dot of light floating in mid-air, releasing a rich aroma of rice.

The dark underground environment was also slightly illuminated by the faint light emitted by the Muya Crystal.

Approaching Muya Crystal, Yang Yu took a deep breath. "So fragrant! Such a rich aroma of rice! If the Yunmo Planet Spaceship hadn't crashed here, where on Earth would there be such a treasure!"

He happily waved and put away the Muya Crystal.

Although Yang Yu knew that this was definitely something Babata had deliberately released, he pretended to be completely unaware and continued exploring with a look of surprise.

Continue digging deeper, following the direction of the subconscious.

Yang Yu quickly obtained more Muya Crystal.

Before he knew it, Yang Yu had descended more than 15,000 meters underground.

At this moment, Yang Yu had already collected a full thirty Muya Crystal in his pocket!

"Haha, even if I can't get any other benefits later because I can't accept the Yunmo Planet Inheritance, what I've gained so far is enough!"

It should be noted that the life energy contained in just one Muya Crystal is enough for an Intermediate War God to directly break through to the Planetary Level.

Thirty pills would be enough for Yang Yu, who is both Martial Artist and Spirit Reader, to cultivate for a long time.

With a treasure like the Muya Crystal, he now has the foundation to begin his cultivation journey or his journey into the universe.

Yang Yu collected the last scattered Muya Crystal.

Babata finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Hatch concealment, close!"

Suddenly, a dusty, half-open hatch appeared abruptly in the depths of the rocks and soil not far in front of Yang Yu.

This was precisely the moment when Yang Yu put away the thirty-first Muya Crystal.

"Keep moving forward!"

Yang Yu knew that the Yunmo Planet Spaceship should be nearby.

As Yang Yu manipulated his Spiritual Force to push aside the surrounding rocks, a passage large enough for several people to walk side by side appeared.

At the end of the passage.

Yang Yu indeed saw a strange, silvery-white metal 'door' that looked old and was covered in dust!

After cautiously observing his surroundings and confirming that there were no major problems, Yang Yu first used his Spiritual Force to control a stone and throw it into the hatch.

Finding nothing unusual, they stepped inside with peace of mind.

Although he knew Babata wouldn't target a genius like him, he still needed to be cautious.

As Yang Yu approached the hatch, he finally saw the scene inside.

"This is?!"

Although I was quite satisfied with the 31 Muya Crystal I had acquired, who could complain about having too many treasures like these?

Looking at the small pile of Muya Crystal floating on the floor of the passageway inside the front hatch entrance.

Even Yang Yu was extremely excited.

He quickly stepped forward and put the pile of more than two hundred Muya Crystal into his pocket.

As Muya Crystal were put away, the previously suffocatingly rich aroma of rice finally dissipated.

"That's almost three hundred Muya Crystal!" Yang Yu thought happily, this trip has really been a windfall.

At least most of the resources were available after cultivating to the Planetary Level.

Continuing cautiously deeper into the passage, Yang Yu knew that Babata was inside.

At the end of the Entrance Passage is a wide passage leading to the left and right.

Yang Yu stepped into the intersection, he looked to his left and saw, sure enough, huge fist-shaped imprints on the walls of the passage, which were made entirely of Exotic Metal.

I counted them; there were nine fist marks in total.

It was exactly the same as when Luo Feng first entered the Yunmo Planet Spaceship.

At this moment, a huge corpse was leaning against the ground in front of the passage!

Mental Force swept across.

The corpse had dark skin all over its body, thick arms, and wore a suit of Battle Armor with special patterns. It also had special gloves on its fists, and its blood-red eyes were still struggling to stay open.

"It seems this is an immortal corpse. These equipment must be good stuff too," Yang Yu thought with great interest.

Without looking directly into the eyes of a corpse, Yang Yu knew that his current strength was far from being able to look directly into the eyes of an immortal, even a dead immortal.

Just now, when Yang Yu scanned the corpse with his Mental Force, he was shocked by the residual fluctuations of will on it.

As expected, even the weakest among the immortals is still not someone an Apprentice Level kid can look directly at.

Continuing along the passage, when he saw a fork in the road, Yang Yu still chose the widest passage to continue forward.

I walked about 300 meters.

The passageway began to turn, and then there was a tall door!

The gate is over ten meters long and wide, and it is currently half-open.

"This Babata is deliberately keeping his distance; he probably wants to intimidate me with those corpses and treasures first," Yang Yu thought with a strange expression.

Indeed, if a native Earthling saw that corpse outside, they would likely be terrified, but Yang Yu was someone who had thoroughly read the Original Work.

Although he showed a shocked expression, it was just to cooperate with Babata's performance.

Stepping through the gate, Yang Yu was curious to see when Babata would appear.

Enter through the door.

Before them suddenly appeared a magnificent, semi-circular hall, tens of meters high and over two hundred meters long and wide.

There are also six corpses lying here!

Each one exuded an astonishing aura.

Mental Force to probe each area, he still found no trace of life.

Just as Yang Yu was staring in 'shock' at the various corpses...

"Drop!"

An electronic voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmm?" Yang Yu was overjoyed, knowing that Babata was finally about to show himself.

Really.

The previously dimly lit hall suddenly came to life, with bright lights shining down from above, making the spacious hall bright and airy.

At the same time, a strange light converged in the center of the hall, beginning to form a black virtual human figure.

Once the figure solidified.

Yang Yu took a look and, sure enough, it looked exactly like the Babata described in the Original Work.

He was a short man, about 1.45 meters tall, who looked like a child. He had two sharp horns on his forehead, blood-red eyes, and wore a black robe.

"Yang Yu, you've finally arrived!"

Babata, clad in black robes, stared directly at Yang Yu, his blood-red eyes filled with surprise.

"Who are you?" Yang Yu asked, even though he knew who he was.

"You can call me Demon Babata!" the little boy-like Babata declared proudly.

"Fifty thousand years! A full fifty thousand years! Your Earth has finally produced a genius who surprises and satisfies me."

"Huh??" Yang Yu still looked puzzled.

Babata then recounted to Yang Yu their encounter with their enemies, the death of Hu Yanbo, the Master of Yunmo Star, the loss of all life on the spaceship, the survival of only him as a Sentient AI, and the eventual flight of the Yunmo Planet Spaceship into Earth to hide.

In the end, Babata, with a touch of sadness, asked Yang Yu to follow him to pay respects to Hu Yanbo Master of Yunmo Star.

It was clear that because Yang Yu's talent was so outstanding, Babata didn't beat around the bush and directly told Yang Yu most of the truth.

Faced with a true genius, even the somewhat eccentric Babata had to show the respect he deserved, instead of yelling at Luo Feng like he did at the beginning of the Original Work.

Seeing that Babata was quite polite and sincere, Yang Yu smiled and nodded, "I see. Then let's go and pay our respects to your master."

Thinking that he would have to ask the other party for benefits later, Yang Yu did not refuse and followed Babata directly to a dark hall below.

"Open!"

Babata points to the ground.

"Click click click~"

As the ground trembled slightly, a transparent coffin resembling an ice coffin gradually emerged.

"The master's body is being kept very secure; you'll have to wait a while before you can see it. Remember to show respect!"

Babata was unusually serious at this moment.

"Okay." Yang Yu didn't argue and agreed directly.

Yang Yu still held Hu Yanbo in high esteem, considering he was a deceased, Marquis Level Immortal expert who had risen to power through his own efforts.

After all, not everyone has the same extraordinary opportunities as Luo Feng in the Original Work.

In the vast universe.

Reaching the level of immortality through cultivation is already an extremely difficult feat.

That's the once-in-ten-thousand-years Peak Genius Competition, covering all of humanity's Universe Country. Of the top one thousand, only a handful will ultimately succeed in breaking through to immortality.

This shows that breaking through to immortality is extremely difficult.

As the transparent coffin fully emerged.

Yang Yu also saw Hu Yanbo inside the Crystal Coffin.

Hu Yanbo's body was about three meters tall, and he had two flexible antennae on his forehead.

Apart from their tentacles and large size, they look no different from Earthling Humans.

"Owner!"

Babata could no longer control her emotions; her ethereal, pale hands gripped the Crystal Coffin, her expression contorted in agony.

After a long while.

Babata's mood has improved.

"Yang Yu, pay your respects to my master Hu Yanbo. If you don't want to kowtow, you can bow deeply three times."

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yu Hu Yanbo deeply three times towards Hu Yanbo, who had lost all life.

Seeing that Yang Yu indeed had his own arrogance, Babata was not annoyed.

True geniuses in the universe are all arrogant!

Moreover, Babata had been secretly observing Yang Yu's expression throughout the journey, and found that although he was shocked, it wasn't much.

Thus, the highly intelligent Babata knew that Yang Yu had most likely already obtained the inheritance.
