The Clone Technique (Part Two)

Once Yang Wu regained consciousness, he immediately found himself in a vast, desolate space.

"Teacher!" the Nine Sword Venerable called out respectfully.

"Huh?" Yang Wu then noticed that an incredibly imposing figure had suddenly appeared not far in front of him.

This figure was as imposing as a mountain, dressed in ancient crimson armor, with a long dragon tail and eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe. The invisible, domineering aura emanating from him distorted the surrounding space.

When Yang Wu's gaze fell upon this figure, he immediately felt a tremor in his soul. Even with his second level of Heart Cultivation, he was unable to withstand it.

At first, Yang Wu only saw a figure, but then he seemed to see endless cosmic Law.

The magnificent and vast Law of the universe constantly exuded an aura of dominance, causing Yang Wu to completely submit to them.

"Teacher!" Nine Sword Venerable bowed and said, "Another Black Warrior has emerged in my Virtual Universe Company lineage. He is also my disciple, Yang Wu. Today, I have been ordered to bring him to pay his respects to you, Master!"

"Yang Wu!" The Nine Sword Venerable turned his head slightly to look at Yang Wu and said softly, "Greetings to your grandmaster!"

Yang Wu also bowed respectfully and said, "Yang Wu greets Grandmaster!"

Yang Wu held these most outstanding beings among humanity in the highest esteem. It was because of their existence that the Human Race was able to stand at the pinnacle of this vast universe.

Without the protection of these great beings, the status of humanity in the universe would be predictable, probably not much better than that of the native inhabitants of the Outer-Region Battlefield.

"Yang Wu!" A powerful voice rang out.

Yang Wu and the Nine Sword Venerable listened respectfully.

The Lord of Longxing looked at Yang Wu and said with a smile, "Your performance in the Xueluo World was quite good. You were able to fuse twelve Xueluo Crystal, which is extremely rare among our Human Race!"

"Your cultivation time is extremely short, yet your willpower is remarkably strong, and now you have even become Black Warrior," the Lord of Longxing praised. "Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

"A disciple of the Lord of Longxing?" Yang Wu was slightly taken aback, then looked at the Nine Sword Venerable beside him.

In Human Race, the master-disciple relationship is incredibly strong, and it is virtually impossible for someone to betray their master or ancestors. If someone were to do such a thing, they would immediately become the common enemy of all powerful individuals!

Moreover, most strong individuals will have several teachers.

Because when you climb from the bottom to the top, you may easily encounter the problem that your teacher is not capable enough to guide you.

For the sake of human development, we cannot limit each person to having only one teacher, as that would only hinder the talent of the students.

Like Yang Wu's teacher, Jinguang Marquis, although his Law Comprehension was still superior to Yang Wu's, Jinguang Marquis could no longer guide him after Yang Wu embarked on the path of analyzing the Law Essence.

Yang Wu never imagined that he would only have two teachers. If other Universe Master wanted to take him as a disciple, Yang Wu would definitely not hesitate.

However, this Lord of Longxing was the teacher of the Nine Sword Venerable, his nominal grandmaster, so Yang Wu naturally had some hesitation.

Upon seeing Yang Wu's gaze, the Nine Sword Venerable quickly nodded, signaling Yang Wu to agree.

As for the Lord of Longxing, he was quite satisfied after seeing Yang Wu's gaze.

This also shows that Yang Wu was a person who respected his teachers and valued the Way.

"Such things are very common among our Human Race!" the Lord of Longxing explained. "You two can continue to address each other as master and disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu immediately bowed respectfully and said, "This disciple is willing!"

The Lord of Longxing nodded slowly.

"Yang Wu, I know you are on the path of analyzing the Law Essence," said the Lord of Longxing. "I will give you fifty thousand years! If you can become King Level Immortal within fifty thousand years, I will accept you as my personal disciple!"

"To become King Level Immortal within 50,000 years?" The Nine Sword Venerable standing to the side thought to himself, "With Yang Wu's talent, achieving this shouldn't be too difficult."

Generally speaking, once Law Comprehension reaches the Eighteenth Layer of the Heavenly Bridge, one can become King Level Immortal, which is much simpler than traversing the Primal Heavenly Mountain.

The most crucial point is that Yang Wu became Black Warrior, so the Lord of Longxing lowered his requirements for his Law Comprehension considerably.

"This disciple will certainly strive to do my best!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

"You have comprehended the Law of Space. From now on, just continue cultivating with the Nine Swords!" The Lord of Longxing smiled and said, "My Virtual Universe Company cultivates geniuses, and the higher their talent, the more resources they receive. Of course, most resource allocation will only take place after reaching the World Lord Level. You are my disciple, so I will also give you some resources."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

"What do you need right now?" the Lord of Longxing asked casually. "Secret techniques? Treasures? Or rare and precious items?"

Yang Wu quickly and respectfully said, "This disciple wishes to request the Clone Technique!"

"The Clone Technique?" The Lord of Longxing smiled, then asked, "Was it Nine Swords who reminded you of it?"

"Teacher!" Nine Sword Venerable bowed immediately.

"Nine Swords, it seems you still can't forget what happened back then!" The Lord of Longxing shook his head and sighed, "Actually, you were just unlucky!"

"What happened back then? Was Master Nine Sword Venerable unlucky?" Yang Wu thought to himself, "Could it be about the Clone?"

Suddenly--

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Longxing conjured a giant screen in mid-air.

"There are 27 Universe Level Clone Technique here; you can choose any one of them!"

The Lord of Longxing said in a deep voice, "Of course, different choices will lead to different levels of difficulty in breaking through to Immortal in the future. You must choose carefully!"

"27 Clone Technique that can be used at the Universe Level?" Yang Wu stared at the enormous screen, utterly shocked.

He only had one Clone Technique to choose from in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury, but unexpectedly, there were 27 Clone Technique to choose from.

Yang Wu carefully observed the Clone Technique on the screen, trying to find the one that best suited him!

"These 27 Clone Technique can be broadly divided into two categories! One is to Possession other cosmic life forms with the Clone Talent, such as the Golden Horned Beast and the Qiuhe Giant Beast among the Starry Sky Giant Beast, some special bloodlines of the Monster Race, and some uniquely gifted races in the universe; the other method is to fuse with some special treasures. When breaking through to the Domain Lord, one's Singularity can merge with that treasure, and finally, when breaking through to the World Lord, they will become one and the same as the Internal World!"

The Lord of Longxing explained, "The first method requires sacrificing one's own body; the second method, relatively speaking, is much more difficult to break through to Immortal!"

"At the Universe Level, the second option is the best choice! Because, if Possession, the best choices are the Golden Horned Beast and the Qiuhe Giant Beast. Although these two are good, the number of Clone they can create is limited. They are completely unable to create some of the most extraordinary Special Lifeform in the universe."

"As for Special Lifeform even more powerful than the Golden Horned Beast, there simply isn't a 'Universe Level' realm among them!"

"However, if you choose the second method, because that special treasure and the Singularity are fused together, breaking through to Immortal will be even more difficult in the future. You can decide which one to choose yourself!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

As the Lord of Longxing explained, the most outstanding methods of Possession are those of the Golden Horned Beast and the Qiuhe Giant Beast. However, these two have a limit to the Clone they can create. Even after cultivating the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual>, Luo Feng's Golden Horned Beast Clone could only create Clone with hundreds of times the Life Gene.

Although he didn't know whether the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual> had raised the upper limit of the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create Clone, Yang Wu didn't dare to gamble. Moreover, even Special Lifeform with hundreds of times the genetic potential wouldn't amount to much in the universe without the <Nine Tribulations Secret Manual>.

Therefore, Yang Wu focused all his attention on the second method from the very beginning.

Most of the 27 Clone Technique on the screen are obtained through Possession, while only three involve fusing with treasures.

Once successfully fused, the Yiqi Yuan Water Bead can give birth to a Clone, and at most, it can give birth to Special Lifeform with no more than a hundred times the genetic potential. However, to break through to Immortal, Law Comprehension must be comparable to that of King-Level being!

Once successfully fused, the Origin Bead can give birth to two Clones, and can even give birth to Special Lifeform with a gene density of up to a thousand times. To break through to Immortal, one must at least have the Law Comprehension at the Peak King Level!

After successful fusion, the Star Bead can give birth to three Clones, and can even give birth to Special Lifeform with up to three thousand times the genes. To break through to Immortal, one must first have the Law Comprehension at the Peak King Level- level, second, comprehend the Ultimate Secret Technique that suits oneself, and third, have an extremely powerful Amplitude Secret Technique!

These three treasures are all incredibly powerful, each more difficult than the last to break through to Immortal, and each one presents a greater challenge than the last!

Ordinary World Lord beings only need to comprehend any one of the eight Lower Origin Law —metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light—to break through to Immortal.

For a typical Golden Horned Beast, whose Internal World far surpasses that of World Lord and whose genes are ten times that of an ordinary life form, breaking through the shackles of the Origin Core is ten or even a hundred times more difficult than for an ordinary life form. Generally speaking, it takes at least Marquis Level Law Comprehension to break through to Immortal.

Above that are beings like the Zerg Mother Emperor, who defy the heavens. To break through to Immortal, one needs at least the enlightenment of King-Level!

The more powerful and extraordinary a life form is, the more difficult it is to achieve Immortal!

If one were to fuse with that Star Bead and attempt to break through to Immortal, their achievement would likely be comparable to that of Luo Feng in the original story!

After careful consideration, Yang Wu focused his attention on the Star Bead and respectfully said, "Teacher, this disciple wishes to fuse with the Star Bead!"

Yang Wu chose the Star Bead for two reasons.

First, Yang Wu has the aid of Simulator, which allows him to simulate events for a hundred times longer. Even if breaking through the constraints is extremely difficult, he has enough confidence.

Secondly, after choosing the Star Bead, it can nurture Special Lifeform with three thousand times the genetic potential, which is enough to nurture most World Lord Level Special Lifeform in the universe. This gives Yang Wu more options for Clone.

"Kindness?"

Upon hearing Yang Wu's choice, the Lord of Longxing was quite surprised.

In his opinion, Yang Wu was most likely to choose the Yiqi Yuan Water Bead, and choosing the Origin Bead was also possible, but he never thought that Yang Wu would choose the Star Bead.

After all, Yang Wu's current talent for the Law is still somewhat inferior to that of the most outstanding human geniuses.

Moreover, even among the top geniuses, most would choose the Origin Bead.

The Lord of Longxing was only slightly surprised, but the Nine Sword Venerable beside Yang Wu's face changed drastically.

He finally managed to take on such a talented disciple; if he fails to break through to the Immortal in the end, then things will get really messed up!

"Yang Wu, the Origin Bead is actually quite good!" the Nine Sword Venerable said softly.

"The Star Bead is an extremely rare treasure in the universe! Since our Human Race obtained Star Bead, a total of 17 peerless geniuses have tried to fuse with it! To date, only one person has successfully broken through the shackles and become Immortal!" The Lord of Longxing did not stop the Nine Sword Venerable from persuading Yang Wu, but slowly said, "As for the others, they have either already perished, or they underwent another Possession before their lifespans expired!"

"So, Yang Wu, do you still want to choose that 'Star Bead'?"

The Lord of Longxing calmly said, "If you give up, I can let you choose again!"

The Nine Sword Venerable, standing to the side, also looked at Yang Wu expectantly, hoping he would change his mind.

Yang Wu's expression also turned serious.

This was undoubtedly an extremely important choice for him.

"Even with the help of Simulator, can I really break through the constraints?" Yang Wu hesitated.

Not everyone can continue to make great strides on the path to becoming a strong person. Once they get stuck at a hurdle, they will not make any progress for a long time.

Before reaching Immortal, King Zhenyan was considered a peerless genius, but after breaking through to Immortal, he failed to create Ultimate Secret Technique for hundreds of millions of years!

As for the other King Level Immortal, the gap is even greater!

These people were all unparalleled geniuses; after all, humanity's accumulation over countless years had amounted to only a hundred thousand King Rank.

However, after a slight hesitation, Yang Wu made his final decision.

"There's no need to dwell on this! If even with a Simulator, I still can't break free from these limitations, I might as well just give up!"

"Master, my mind is made up. Please grant my request!" Yang Wu said respectfully to the Lord of Longxing and the Nine Sword Venerable.

Even with the help of Simulator, Yang Wu would have hesitated when he first arrived in this world.

But now, as Yang Wu's will has been tempered and strengthened, his belief has become more and more steadfast!

"If Luo Feng could kill Limit King Level Breaker at the World Lord stage and rival Top Universe Overlord at the Immortal stage, so can I!"

This is how Yang Wu has grown!

"Excellent!" the Lord of Longxing exclaimed, "The Star Bead is incredibly precious, comparable to a top-tier Heavy Treasure! But since you're so confident, Yang Wu, I'll bestow it upon you directly!"

For the Lord of Longxing, while top-tier Heavy Treasure are precious, they are not something he would even consider worth mentioning.

In his view, the most important thing is that Yang Wu sticks to his choice!

At worst, he can just Possession before his lifespan ends. It's just a top-tier Heavy Treasure; he can afford to waste it!

Of course, for the Nine Sword Venerable, top-tier Heavy Treasure are already quite precious! The cyan battle robe he wore was only a treasure of this level.

"Thank you so much, Master!" Yang Wu said with great gratitude.

Even an ordinary Heavy Treasure can cause powerful experts at the Limit King Level to fight each other to the death, let alone a top-tier Heavy Treasure?

A top-tier Heavy Treasure, if converted into Hunyuan Unit, would cost at least trillions! Moreover, no one would be foolish enough to exchange Heavy Treasure for ordinary money.

Such a treasure, if not bestowed by the Lord of Longxing, would have been impossible for Yang Wu to obtain at the Universe Level, even with the aid of Simulator!

"This is the 'Star Bead'!"

With a flick of his hand, the Lord of Longxing conjured a dazzling pearl that appeared out of thin air.

This bead is no bigger than a fist, and it looks very ancient. It is covered with extremely complex patterns and various star carvings.

"Even if a Universe Venerable were to emerge from my Human Race, the race would only reward him with a treasure of such value. Now, it is yours!"

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Longxing sent the dazzling Star Bead flying right in front of Yang Wu.

"By imprinting your spirit upon it, you can see its specific usage. Simply store it in your Sea of Consciousness or Dantian, and after ten days, it will be completely integrated! Once the integration is successful, you will be able to create your first Clone!"

Yang Wu reached out and took the Star Bead, then a wisp of his mental power seeped into it, instantly establishing a mental connection.

After a brief consideration, Yang Wu directly integrated it into his Dantian.

Yang Wu is a martial artist, so his ability to utilize the Gene Force within his Dantian is naturally stronger.
