Qian Yu could not help but draw a sharp breath.
The gift bestowed by the Chaos City Lord was far too generous for a first meeting.
He continued reading and quickly discovered another profound aspect of this secret technique.
While cultivating the fusion of laws, Beast God Transformation also simultaneously cultivated amplitude. Each level could increase the body's amplitude.
First level: thirteenfold amplitude.
Second level: twenty-sixfold amplitude.
Third level: thirty-ninefold amplitude.
Fourth level: fifty-twofold amplitude.
Fifth level: sixty-fivefold amplitude.
Sixth level: seventy-eightfold amplitude.
Seventh level: ninety-onefold amplitude.
"Ninety-onefold..."
Qian Yu's eyes gleamed. It was indeed powerful, but he had to take things one step at a time.
He had not even grasped the first level yet. Thinking about that was still far too distant.
"The most urgent thing is to raise my realm first."
He was currently only a First-Order Realm Lord. Though his combat strength was astonishing, his realm itself was still too low.
The energy accumulation required at the Realm Lord stage was immense, but it was not difficult for him.
Qian Yu closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.
As the Chaos City Lord's personal disciple, he possessed extremely high authority within the Virtual Universe.
He quickly found what he needed.
"To advance from First-Order Realm Lord to Realm Lord Ninth-Order Pinnacle requires 5,800 portions of Nutrient Fluid."
Qian Yu submitted an application directly.
Given his status, such basic resources required no approval at all.
The application was approved the moment it was submitted. The system notification stated that delivery would arrive within thirty minutes.
"That's convenient."
Qian Yu opened his eyes, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
About half an hour later, a faint ripple came from outside the residence.
Qian Yu rose and went out to receive it. An Immortal God-level attendant respectfully held up a Space Ring with both hands.
"Your Highness Qian Yu, the supplies you requested have arrived."
"Sorry for the trouble."
Qian Yu accepted the ring. The attendant bowed, then departed.
Returning to the cultivation room, Qian Yu took out the Nutrient Tank.
It was a crystal-clear capsule, approximately thirty feet long and ten feet wide.
He poured that portion of Nutrient Fluid into the tank. The liquid inside immediately glowed with a faint golden halo, and the dense energy fluctuations nearly solidified.
Qian Yu removed his outer robe and stepped naked into the tank.
The icy liquid enveloped his entire body, yet he felt no discomfort.
The Nutrient Fluid seemed alive as it slowly seeped into his body through his pores, gently and continuously nourishing every inch of flesh and every cell.
"Twenty years..."
Qian Yu closed his eyes and relaxed his mind.
Advancing from First-Order Realm Lord to Realm Lord Ninth-Order Pinnacle through ordinary cultivation would require tens of thousands of years, or even longer, to accumulate enough energy.
Yet this Nutrient Tank could shorten the process to twenty years.
This was the foundation of the Human Race.
Naturally, he would not refuse such convenience.
The tank lid slowly closed, and the cultivation room fell silent.
Only the pale golden liquid within the Nutrient Tank continued to ripple faintly, transferring energy into Qian Yu bit by bit.
Twenty years later, he would be a Realm Lord Ninth-Order Pinnacle.
Only then would it truly be time to begin cultivating Beast God Transformation.
As for the End Times Secret Realm...
Qian Yu shook his head inwardly.
There was no rush.
Chaos City had sufficient cultivation resources, a holy cultivation ground like the Chaos Ruins, and endless secret techniques in the Virtual Universe for reference.
Why did he need to rush off to those secret realms?
First, he would lay a solid foundation here.
A thousand years was neither long nor short.
It was enough for him to accomplish many things.
Twenty years later.
In the cultivation room, the lid of the Nutrient Tank slowly opened.
A figure stepped out from within.
Qian Yu stood bare-chested, faint energy fluctuations swirling around him.
Twenty years of immersion had given his skin a healthy bronze hue. Every muscle was sharply defined, containing explosive power.
He clenched his fist and sensed the surging energy within him, so abundant it seemed ready to overflow.
Realm Lord Ninth-Order Pinnacle.
"I've finally reached this point."
The corners of Qian Yu's lips rose slightly, satisfaction flashing through his eyes.
Twenty years, from First-Order Realm Lord to Ninth-Order Pinnacle. True cultivation had only just begun.
He put on his robes and walked to the window. Looking out over Chaos City, he knew it was time to begin cultivating Beast God Transformation.
In the days that followed, Qian Yu remained in seclusion almost constantly.
Apart from necessary rest each day, he comprehended, cultivated, then comprehended again.
He immersed himself completely in the mysteries of Beast God Transformation, feeling his way forward bit by bit, advancing step by step.
First level: thirteenfold amplitude.
It sounded simple, but doing it was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
The Primordial Dao Tree swayed gently in the mysterious space, transmitting countless insights to him.
The Wild Beast Clone continuously practiced in the void, verifying each of those mysteries one by one.
Meanwhile, his true body attempted it again and again in the cultivation room, failed again and again, then started over again and again.
Fortunately, the Wild Beast Clone was incomparably compatible with the Beast God Path. Its cultivation progressed extremely quickly, improving by a great margin almost every time it trained.
Outside of cultivation, he would also enter the Virtual Universe to hone his combat skills.
The Heavenly Bridge was the finest proving ground.
The first time, he reached the sixteenth level.
The second time, he reached the seventeenth level.
Every time, he gave it his all. Every battle brought immense gains.
Time flew by amid this nearly crazed cultivation.
One year.
Ten years.
A hundred years.
Five hundred years.
One thousand years.
A thousand years was enough to turn seas into mulberry fields, enough to turn mortals into dust.
But for Qian Yu, these thousand years were the period of fastest improvement in his life.
He had succeeded.
He had mastered the first level of Beast God Transformation, achieving thirteenfold amplitude.
His comprehension of the laws had also reached an entirely new height through constant contemplation and battle.
The eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
King-sealing level.
On this day, Qian Yu awoke from cultivation.
He rose to his feet and walked to the window, gazing at the eternally unchanging chaotic currents above Chaos City, his eyes as still as an ancient well.
A thousand years of cultivation had changed his temperament as well.
His former sharpness had become restrained calmness.
His former edge had settled into resolve.
"It's time."
He murmured softly.
Turning around, he pushed open the door and strode out.
City Lord's Mansion, Chaos Ruins.
Qian Yu stepped into that vast battlefield ruin and immediately saw the towering figure.
The Chaos City Lord still wore that dark red battle armor, faint chaotic currents swirling around him. He seemed to be eternally present, as though he had merged with the ruins themselves.
"Teacher."
Qian Yu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The Chaos City Lord turned to look at him. A trace of satisfaction flashed through eyes that were calm as water yet vast as the starry sky.
"Ready to depart?"
Qian Yu nodded.
"Yes."
The Chaos City Lord asked,
"Will you choose to go to a Universe Secret Realm, or the Outer Domain Battlefield?"
Qian Yu did not hesitate in the slightest.
"This disciple chooses the Outer Domain Battlefield."
