"I've decided. Boundless Myriad Force is absolutely the most suitable Amplitude Secret Technique for the Crowned Python Clone. There's simply no better option."
Boundless Myriad Force was an extremely versatile Amplitude Secret Technique of the Human Race. No matter what Law one cultivated or what race one belonged to, any life-form with flesh and blood could use it to increase its amplification by spending a tremendous amount of resources.
Of course, the resources required depended on the size of one's Divine Body. Many King-level Immortals, as well as Marquis Immortals with substantial wealth, would buy it to cultivate.
For the Crowned Python Clone, whose Divine Body stretched over sixty thousand kilometers, successfully cultivating even the first level would require more resources than an ordinary King-level Immortal could afford.
After Pato's calculations, the first level alone would consume resources worth 850 million points. And that was after the discount available to a Primal Secret Region Member.
Of course, the results were well worth the cost. The first level of Boundless Myriad Force placed very little demand on Law Comprehension; practically any World Lord could meet the requirements. After that, all one needed to do was absorb the resources.
Once the first level was complete, it would grant a threefold amplification. It could also stack with other Amplitude Secret Techniques. The Crowned Python Clone had already mastered the first level of Blazing Flame True Body, which gave him a twofold amplification.
With that combined with the threefold amplification from Boundless Myriad Force, his amplification would reach sixfold!
Keep in mind that the Crowned Python Clone had a Life Gene Level of five thousand times. Combined with a sixfold amplification, he could unleash 30,000 times World Lord Power at full strength.
A King-level Immortal needed only 10,000 times World Lord Power. With 30,000 times World Lord Power, he had already reached the level of a High King.
In other words, with just two Amplitude Secret Techniques, the Crowned Python Clone had gained the combat strength of a High King!
And that was only his basic divine power. There were also secret techniques, treasures, and other advantages. Qin Cang's secret techniques were already close to the peak level, and he expected to develop two Peak Secret Techniques before leaving Chaos City. With those and the Crowned Python Clone's powerful Innate Secret Technique, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against a Peak King—and might even be able to fight a pinnacle King.
That would be more than enough to keep him safe while roaming the universe.
"Pato, how are the Star-Eating Grasses?" Qin Cang asked. These three Star-Eating Grasses were his precious treasures. Before he became a Venerable, they would be one of his greatest sources of support. In particular, he would need the Star-Eating Grass to establish his God Kingdom before he became an Immortal.
Since he was cultivating in Chaos City and the Star-Eating Grass could become an Immortal at any time, it would be inconvenient for him to be inside the city when that happened. But the Star-Eating Grass would need to establish its God Kingdom without delay. So he had left it in Wuchen Spacetime in the Primal Secret Region to be cultivated.
A few days ago, Pato had sent word that the first Star-Eating Grass had failed to become an Immortal. All the tremendous resources spent on it had gone to waste.
Resources worth a full 120 billion points had gone down the drain.
All three Star-Eating Grasses had reached the ninth level of the World Lord stage at nearly the same time. To avoid wasting resources, Qin Cang had decided to advance them one at a time.
After the first one failed to become an Immortal, he had chosen to try advancing the second one today. If it succeeded, he could use a method with a higher chance of success for the third. Its combat strength might be a little lower, but it would still make a capable guard back in his home world.
After all, the Crowned Python Clone had only reached King-level combat strength today. As the saying went, good things came in pairs, and misfortune never came alone.
Something good had already happened today. Surely there would be a second.
"Master, have you made up your mind? A thirty percent success rate is really too low. We lost 120 billion points' worth of resources just a few days ago. It's heartbreaking." Pato's insufferably smug voice rang out, laden with regret.
"You have a heart? And you're heartbroken?"
"Master, you've wounded me deeply. I can't go on! Aaaah..."
Ignoring the Intelligent Life's over-the-top theatrics, Qin Cang focused on the Star-Eating Grass's advancement.
Inside Qin Cang's palace in Wuchen Spacetime, all sorts of rare items had been laid out: assorted ores, Nutrient Solution, and a piece of jade that was green all the way through.
The jade radiated intense fluctuations of the Law of Wood and the Law of Space. It was the key to the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass's advancement to Immortality.
Slowly, the Star-Eating Grass absorbed all the rare ores in the palace. At last, only the piece of green jade remained.
By now, the aura surrounding the Star-Eating Grass had grown stronger and stronger. At last, it seemed to reach some sort of critical point.
The Star-Eating Grass drew the jade into its Internal World.
Every World Lord broke through their Internal World from within to become an Immortal. The Star-Eating Grass was no exception.
For a plant life-form with such limited intelligence, the best way to break through its Internal World was to rely on an external object.
As time passed, the fluctuations of Law around the Star-Eating Grass grew more and more intense.
At last, the Wood Origin Law descended!
"Wonderful! It finally worked—the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass!"
Whenever a World Lord became an Immortal, the corresponding Universe Origin Law descended, sending divine power into their body. The larger the Divine Body, the more divine power it required. And only when becoming an Immortal would the Universe Origin transform the entire Divine Body without reservation. At that point, as long as one could absorb divine power, one could absorb as much as one wanted.
Most World Lords gained only a hundred or a few hundred times World Lord Power when they became Immortals. A small amount of divine power was enough to finish transforming them.
But the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass reached the level of a Peak King the moment it became an Immortal, gaining a full 100,000 times World Lord Power. Even more importantly, the Star-Eating Grass was enormous. Qin Cang had cultivated his Star-Eating Grass to the maximum size possible for a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
It had a full thousand vines, each a million kilometers long. Just how vast a quantity of divine power would that require?
The moment the Wood Origin Law descended, a gaze pierced through from beyond Wuchen Spacetime. It belonged to the Universe Venerable guarding the place.
"Which little fellow has become an Immortal? That's quite a commotion. Judging from the display, he'll probably be a Peak King after breaking through. Among this batch of little fellows, I don't recall any geniuses close to becoming Immortals. The only one with a chance should still be in Chaos City."
"If I can't figure it out, I might as well take a look."
The Venerable immediately swept his divine consciousness across all of Wuchen Spacetime and noticed Qin Cang's palace.
"I didn't expect this little fellow to be the one causing the commotion. It really is a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass. What luck! To have a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass protecting him—Demon Venerable really does favor this one."
Then the Venerable withdrew his divine consciousness and resumed his cultivation. No one in Wuchen Spacetime noticed a thing.
"Hahaha, good things really do come in pairs! From now on, I'll have two King-level fighters. One of them is even a Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass, with the combat strength of a Peak King! But first, I need to get the Star-Eating Grass to establish a God Kingdom."
"Pato, take Star-Eater and find a place to establish his God Kingdom. Then scatter some Divine Power Coordinates throughout the universe. I'll rely on Star-Eater for my teleportations from now on." Qin Cang gave Pato its orders.
There were still a full thousand years before his cultivation in Chaos City would end. Pato could pilot the spare spaceship through the universe during that time, taking Star-Eater along to leave behind more Divine Power Coordinates. That was what mattered.
"In just two thousand years, I've ended up with two King-level fighters. I need to keep working hard and try to reach the Eighteenth Layer of the Sky Bridge before I leave. World Lord Level really is the fastest stage of cultivation. It's so much faster than Universe Level and Domain Lord Level. I've made such huge strides in just two thousand years. Now that my clone has emerged, my cultivation speed will climb another level. I have to cross the eighteenth layer of the Sky Bridge before leaving Chaos City."
Then Qin Cang headed toward the Chaos Stele. He had accumulated enough questions; it was time to study the stele.
