Secret Technique

He took out the items from his Space Ring. It was a vial containing blood preserved in a special material; under the protection of this substance, the blood would never lose its vitality. After all, only genetic material that retained its vitality could be used to gestate a Clone, and the greater the quantity and the higher the vitality, the higher the probability of a successful gestation.

Within his Internal World, on a vast, boundless grassland.

Qin Cang stood upon the earth, holding the vial of Sky Canopy Python blood in his hand.

He opened the cap and extracted the blood.

"Innate Secret Technique, Clone, Gestate!" Qin Cang whispered.

As the Innate Secret Technique was activated, the fist-sized crystal of blood slowly floated into mid-air. World energy surged, and countless rays of red light erupted, rushing toward the blood and slowly enveloping it.

As the light intensified, the genetic material within the blood was gradually analyzed. Once the life genetic material was completely decoded, it meant the gestation of the Clone had begun!

Time passed slowly, and Qin Cang grew increasingly nervous.

Although there was a theoretical gestation limit of 6,000 times the gene multiplier, theory was ultimately just theory, not fact.

This was a Special Lifeform with a gene multiplier as high as 5,000 times, extremely close to the gestation limit. It would not be strange at all if the gestation failed for any number of reasons.

Perhaps it would take a while, perhaps a day; Qin Cang did not know. He only knew that this waiting period felt incredibly long.

"The life material has been completely analyzed; gestation has begun!" Qin Cang sensed the information transmitted from his Internal World and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, wonderful! The Sky Canopy Python will finally be gestated by me. Such a heaven-defying Special Lifeform will be one of my Clones in the future. Hahaha, this is great!!!"

Hearing Qin Cang's voice, Chaos City Lord also understood that the gestation had succeeded; otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy.

"Little guy, it seems you have successfully begun gestating that Sky Canopy Python. This is great news for you and for our human race. However, your cultivation life in Chaos City as a World Lord has only just begun. How long will it take for your Clone to finish gestating?" Chaos City Lord asked.

"Replying to City Lord, it will take about two thousand years," Qin Cang answered.

Two thousand years... but thinking about it, for such a terrifying Special Lifeform, two thousand years was actually quite fast. However, when he thought of his Internal World with a diameter of 600 million kilometers, it made sense.

An average World Lord's Internal World only had a diameter of a few million kilometers. Even for the most terrifying geniuses among the Golden Horned Beast race, it did not exceed 100 million kilometers. If Qin Cang were to use his 600 million-kilometer-diameter Internal World to face an enemy, the suppression force would be terrifying.

"Not bad. Two thousand years. Your primary task now is to comprehend the Chaos Stele, gain insights into the laws, and cultivate secret techniques.

I remember you cleared the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain; the reward points must have been credited to your account by now. You must make good use of these points to improve yourself—that is the real priority. Come back here again when you leave Chaos City.

For now, go and cultivate on your own. I will gift you twenty additional opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele. If you encounter any problems you don't understand, go ask your senior brothers and your teacher; at this stage, their guidance is sufficient," Chaos City Lord said. With a wave of his hand, Qin Cang left the Chaos Ruins and arrived before the gates of the City Lord Mansion.

"As expected of the City Lord. When will I be able to master such methods? By then, I will surely have made a name for myself in the universe. For now, I had better focus on my cultivation." He shook his head and hurried toward the residence of Blood Blade King.

Qin Cang's days in Chaos City were extremely fulfilling. With 3 billion points as a foundation, he spent 1 billion on the first seven volumes of the Space-Time Essays, which was one of the secret techniques Qin Cang focused on.

As a secret technique written by the creator of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, the Space-Time Essays were extremely suitable for practitioners of the Nine Universes lineage. However, the biggest drawback of this set of techniques was its cost; even as a member of the Primal Secret Region, there was no discount.

In addition to the Space-Time Essays, under the advice of his senior brother Blood Blade King and his teacher Demon Wing Venerable, Qin Cang purchased hundreds of ordinary secret techniques. Although these techniques were far inferior to the Space-Time Essays or even the Blood Blade Canon written by Blood Blade King in terms of power and precision, their greatest value lay in broadening his horizons, allowing him to see the thought processes of practitioners at different levels and their methods of applying the laws.

Beyond the Space-Time Essays and these ordinary techniques, Qin Cang also practiced the Demon Wing Canon, created by Demon Wing Venerable himself. This was a summary of Demon Wing Venerable's life work, recording his understanding of space laws and time laws, as well as various secret techniques he had created. It could be said that this was the foundation of Demon Wing Venerable's entire cultivation.

Furthermore, Qin Cang's senior brothers were very generous, sending over the secret canons they had written themselves without asking for a single point. Whenever Qin Cang needed help, they would answer his questions about cultivation whenever they had time, which moved Qin Cang deeply.

Blood Blade King spent his days in deep cultivation within Chaos City, not to mention Xue Yu King, who was constantly roaming the universe; he might be fighting in some dangerous secret region or the Outer-Region Battlefield at this very moment.

As for Golden Feather Venerable and Mi Hao Venerable, both were high-level Venerables. Ordinary Kings couldn't even see their faces on a normal day, let alone receive personal guidance on their cultivation at any time—even their own direct disciples didn't enjoy such treatment.

Of course, all of this was because Demon Wing Venerable had personally spoken; these disciples dared not disobey his orders. Moreover, they were quite fond of this junior brother who was blessed with immense talent and luck.

With the sponsorship of these senior brothers and sisters, Qin Cang saved an untold amount of points.

Of the 3 billion points rewarded for clearing the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, 1 billion had been spent on the Space-Time Essays, leaving a full 2 billion points. In the end, he spent another 1 billion points to purchase another top-tier secret canon—Black Hole Evolution—and an amplification secret technique—Blazing Flame True Body.

The Black Hole Evolution canon was different from the Space-Time Essays; it was a purely combat-oriented secret technique. Once mastered, every move could generate a black hole. Qin Cang had been coveting it for a long time, but he hadn't had enough points initially, which was why he had purchased the law-comprehension-focused Space-Time Essays first.

Even after purchasing Black Hole Evolution, he still had 1 billion points left. However, Qin Cang did not purchase any other items or techniques because he had already planned to use those 1 billion points for a specific purpose—and even 1 billion might not be enough.

However, Blazing Flame True Body was different. It was a Divine Body amplification secret technique, and its price was as high as 10 billion points!

Of course, that was for the entire set of techniques. The first three levels alone cost 10 million points, and after the Primal Secret Region discount, they cost only 6 million points.

Once mastered, it could achieve an 8-fold Divine Body amplification. It was recommended by Demon Wing Venerable and was the most suitable amplification technique for Qin Cang at this stage.

Moreover, Demon Wing Venerable had already promised that once Qin Cang achieved Immortality, he would apply for the most suitable Divine General Inheritance for him.

At the Immortal stage, the best way to increase amplification was through the Divine General Inheritance. However, the Divine General Inheritance opened only once every endless age, and each time it required pulling strings, spending money, and so on, with no guarantee of success. But for Qin Cang, the Divine General Inheritance was still too far off; for now, the best path was to cultivate amplification through secret techniques.
