Floating Blood Secret Art

Three thousand years—too short.

He needed more time, more resources, more opportunities.

But with his authority, keeping Qian Yu within the core layer of the human race was far too simple.

With a single thought, he sent a command through the Virtual Universe.

"Transfer Qian Yu into the Virtual Universe Company's core genius tier, grant him core member status, and provide corresponding treatment."

The order was issued and took effect instantly.

From this moment on, Qian Yu was no longer a visitor who had bought a spot through an auction, but a core member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Chaos City Lord withdrew his gaze, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.

"Little one, let me see how far you can go."

Half a month passed quietly.

On the third-floor rooftop of Qian Yu's cultivation residence in Chaos City.

Qian Yu sat cross-legged, faint ripples of law energy swirling around him.

Over these two weeks, he had immersed himself entirely in cultivation, fully digesting and absorbing the gains from his battle on the Tenth Floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

Within his Inner World, the Wild Beast Clone also ceased its drills at the same moment.

It let out a low roar, its aura more solid than half a month ago, and its mastery of the Law of Space had reached an entirely new level.

With each claw strike, the freezing, tearing, and folding of space had become as instinctive and natural as breathing.

Qian Yu opened his eyes and let out a long breath of stale air.

"Almost there..."

He murmured, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He had basically grasped all the spatial law techniques used by the Guardian of the Tenth Floor.

Though he hadn't yet reached the other's level of effortless mastery, he could now use them proficiently.

Next, he would continue to comprehend the Chaos Stele, then challenge the Eleventh Floor.

Just then.

"Master."

A phantom suddenly materialized before Qian Yu—it was Azure Luan.

"Master, you have been confirmed as a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, granted Realm Lord Level authority in the End Times Secret Realm."

Qian Yu froze.

"What?"

He thought he had misheard.

"End Times Secret Realm authority? Core member? Me?"

Azure Luan nodded, displaying the specific authority information before Qian Yu.

"Yes, Master. The authority has officially taken effect. You are now a core member of the Virtual Universe Company's End Times Secret Realm, entitled to corresponding treatment. This includes, but is not limited to: residence rights in the End Times Secret Realm, points exchange privileges, access to core member exclusive missions, and..."

She paused, then continued.

"The right to apply for a Nutrient Tank."

Qian Yu was completely stunned.

The right to apply for a Nutrient Tank.

This was exactly what he had dreamed of!

With a Nutrient Tank, he could accumulate energy to the peak of Realm Lord Level Nine in a short time, saving vast amounts of tedious energy accumulation.

That would allow him to devote all his effort to comprehending laws and cultivating secret techniques.

But...

"How did I suddenly become a core member of the End Times Secret Realm?"

Qian Yu frowned, his mind racing.

How could a visitor who bought a spot through an auction suddenly be granted core member status?

Unless... Chaos City Lord.

Only Chaos City Lord had the authority to casually transfer someone into the Virtual Universe Company's core layer.

And only he would take notice of an obscure nobody like Qian Yu.

"So I've been found out..."

Qian Yu murmured, but there was no panic in his heart.

From the moment he entered Chaos City, he had long been prepared.

He wasn't worried, because he knew that Chaos City Lord was a true guardian of the human race, a great being who genuinely cared for the future of the entire species.

In the original novel, Luo Feng was also discovered by Chaos City Lord, who then nurtured him all the way until he became a pillar of the human race.

Chaos City Lord's character was trustworthy.

He didn't care about the End Times Secret Realm or the treatment of core members. Those things were merely icing on the cake for him.

What he cared about was what he could access after becoming a core member.

For example, the Nutrient Tank.

He could immediately apply for a Nutrient Tank and directly advance to the peak of Realm Lord Level Nine.

Saving him a massive amount of time spent accumulating energy.

Another example was the authority to exchange points.

As a core member, he could use points to exchange for many things he originally couldn't even touch—secret techniques, treasures, intelligence, and even some special cultivation resources.

These things were far more important to him than any secret realm authority.

"Very good."

Qian Yu stood up, a glint of sharp light flashing in his eyes.

With this identity, his years in Chaos City would become much more fulfilling.

Over the next ten years, Qian Yu barely left his cultivation residence.

He did not attempt the Heavenly Bridge again but instead devoted all his time to cultivation.

Every day, aside from necessary rest, it was nothing but comprehension, cultivation, and more comprehension.

That almost insane level of focus was enough to make anyone marvel.

During these ten years, he went to comprehend the Chaos Stele a total of five times.

An average of once every two years.

Each seven-day session of comprehension was like a baptism to him.

Those Nine Diagrams became clearer and deeper in his mind. Every raindrop, every star, every galaxy seemed to come alive, constantly evolving within his thoughts.

And aside from comprehension, he also did one important thing.

Purchasing a secret technique.

After becoming a core member, he gained the authority to exchange points.

He didn't hesitate and directly bought the secret technique most suited for cultivating the Nine Universe Chaos Stele—Floating Blood.

This was a very famous secret technique, one that followed the path of dissecting patterns and studying the essence of the Law of Space.

According to the description in the first volume of Floating Blood, as long as one fully comprehended seven diagrams, they could become a Space Venerable.

The Nine Diagrams of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele were clearly divided into three stages.

The first diagram, the Raindrop Diagram. Nine raindrops.

The second diagram, the Drizzle Diagram. Thirty-six raindrops.

The third diagram, the Rainstorm Diagram. One hundred and eight raindrops.

These three diagrams were a continuous, deep dissection of the fundamental Law of Space.

Although the fundamental laws of the universe were profoundly deep, the most basic, most essential things were actually not that complicated.

From the first diagram to the third diagram, the fundamental laws of the universe were dissected bit by bit, ultimately broken down into one hundred and eight different profound mysteries.

The first three diagrams represented the deepest level of dissection.

The fourth diagram, the Star Chart.

One planet, with four satellites orbiting it.

The fifth diagram, the Stellar System Chart.

One star, with twelve planets orbiting it, each planet having varying numbers of satellites.

The sixth diagram, the Galaxy Diagram.

Countless densely packed planets forming a vast, boundless galaxy.

These three diagrams represented a kind of system combination.

They took those most fundamental factors from before and continuously combined them, continuously expanded, gradually perfected, and constantly extended, finally forming the perfect fundamental Law of Space.

And the seventh diagram, that bizarre and extraordinary beast, represented the most complete fundamental Law of Space.
