Earth Beast God
Venerable Haoshi and Golden Dragon Venerable, along with Gulanxiu, arrived at the entrance of a Universe Secret Realm in a few Teleportation.
Venerable Haoshi pointed to the wormhole ahead and said to Gulanxiu, "Little Human Race! On the other side of this wormhole lies the Holy Land of my Mountain Giant Clan, the Kalaqi Continent. You have five hundred years to cultivate there. How much you comprehend depends on yourself. There are also many powerful members of my Mountain Giant Clan cultivating within the Holy Land. Remember, do not disturb them!"
Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Understood, Senior!"
Venerable Haoshi nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
Just then, Golden Dragon Venerable suddenly laughed and said, "Haoshi! If you're going to help someone, go all the way! Why don't you give him your clan's Kun Yuan Seven Forms too!"
"Hmph! Your Human Race isn't without its own versions of the <Kun Yuan Seven Forms>. Let him buy it from his own clan!" Venerable Haoshi refused without hesitation. Gulanxiu's talent was indeed impressive, and since Golden Dragon Venerable had spoken, he could give him face. However, the <Kun Yuan Seven Forms> was the core inheritance of their Mountain Giant Clan. Although it was also listed for sale in the Virtual Universe after joining the Hong Alliance, it was only a simplified version. While there weren't many problems with cultivation, it lacked many annotations personally left by Kun Yuan, making it difficult to even begin to understand.
The Golden Dragon Venerable muttered to himself, "Just a secret manual? How stingy!"
Venerable Haoshi glared at his single eye between his brows and said, "Don't you Human Race also keep your core secret manuals from being sold to outsiders? Not to mention Senior Nine Universe's <Space-Time Essays>, aren't you also not selling them to us?"
The Golden Dragon Venerable chuckled awkwardly, saying nothing more, but turned to Gulanxiu and said, "What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and go in! That stingy Haoshi might have already started the timer."
At the same time, Gulanxiu also heard the Golden Dragon Venerable transmit his voice, saying, "Boy! Buy the first volume of <Kun Yuan Seven Forms> in the Virtual Universe later. It can help you cultivate the Beast God Path."
Gulanxiu nodded and bowed to the Golden Dragon Venerable, saying, "Thank you, Senior!"
With that, he turned and flew into the wormhole.
As time and space shifted, in the blink of an eye, Gulanxiu found himself in the center of a massive continent. This continent seemed to stretch endlessly, and even with Gulanxiu's own power, he could not see its boundaries!
At the center of the continent is a towering structure resembling a temple, which is thousands of miles high and covers an area of hundreds of thousands of miles in length and width.
The temple is surrounded by a vast plain, beyond which rise stone mountains. On these mountains, one can see mountain giants gazing with pilgrim eyes toward the temple in the center of the continent.
The central temple houses eight statues, all of which depict the same creature, differing only in their sitting or reclining postures.
Without exception, every single statue exuded a powerful aura of oppression!
"The Earth Beast God!" Gulanxiu thought to himself. From the words of the Golden Dragon Venerable Gulanxiu already knew that this creature was the Innate Earth Beast God.
This is a creature similar to the Qilin in Blue Star's mythology, possessing the physical characteristics of a dragon's head, deer antlers, lion's eyes, elk's body, dragon scales, and ox's tail.
Although there were only eight statues, their imposing aura was no less than that of Universe Venerable. In comparison, the imposing aura of the Golden Beast God Statue of the Golden Horn Race seemed like a joke.
This is normal, after all, the Mountain Giant Clan are servants of the Earth Beast God. Their strong members have seen the Earth Beast God, and their strength is much greater than that of the Golden Horn Race, so it is reasonable that they can carve such a powerful statue.
A moment later, Gulanxiu discovered that there were also some powerful Mountain Giant Clan cultivating near the eight statues. Judging from their aura, most of them were powerful beings among the Immortal.
With limited time, Gulanxiu glanced at the statue briefly before immersing himself in the Virtual Universe to begin purchasing the secret manuals!
A virtual voice suddenly sounded, "<Kun Yuan Seven Forms> Volume 1, total price 7 billion points, purchase?"
"Wow, that's expensive! If it weren't for the sudden wealth of the Bloodfall Continent, I really wouldn't be able to afford it!" Gulanxiu thought to himself, but still nodded without hesitation!
Although he felt a pang of emotion, Gulanxiu was actually quite prepared. After all, in the original story, the Beast God Seven Kills also cost eight billion points! This Kun Yuan Seven Forms was actually a bit cheaper in comparison!
With a sudden thought, Gulanxiu checked the price of <Beast God Seven Kills> again! Seeing that it was only 5 billion points, a sense of understanding flashed through Gulanxiu's mind.
Since Xilodo has not yet perished, the Golden Horn Race has not put the complete version of "Beast God Seven Kills" for sale in the store, but has kept it a secret.
The price mentioned in the original work is estimated to be from the time the Golden Horn Race released the complete manual for sale in the Virtual Universe after Xilodo's death. This was partly to quickly accumulate enough resources to resurrect Xilodo, and partly to show their loyalty to the Human Race!
A moment later, the secret manual that Gulanxiu had purchased in the Virtual Universe had been delivered to his manor in the Virtual Universe.
Gulanxiu looked at the three dark gold metal books placed in front of him. The covers of the three books each had only one word: "-", "two", and "three", which clearly represented the first to the third volume, with no other words.
Gulanxiu gently turned the cover of the first volume.
The content on the first page is--
"From the evolution of the Original Universe, billions of races emerged, giving rise to numerous wondrous life forms. Among these wondrous life forms, a naturally born super being arose, its body a fusion of the Space Law and Earth Law. Every casual claw strike, tail lash, and charge it makes contains the ultimate principles of the universe. I, Kun Yuan, have comprehended the ultimate technique, <Kun Yuan Seven Forms>, based on the Beast God."
Mastering the first three levels will make you invincible below the "Universe Venerable".
Mastering the first six levels will make you invincible below the Lord of the Universe.
Upon mastering the Seventh Layer, one can transform into a true Beast God, just as if the Beast God were incarnate, becoming the true master of the universe and standing at the pinnacle of the cosmos.
I created the Kun Yuan Seven Forms, but I only mastered the first six levels. Although I have almost mastered the Seventh Layer, I am stuck at the last step of transforming into Beast God, which is a great pity. I hope that those who come after me can surpass my level and completely complete the Kun Yuan Seven Forms.
After reading Gulanxiu thought to himself: Just as I thought! This Kun Yuan Venerable of the Mountain Giant Clan has gone further Xilodo on the Beast God Path. Judging from his description, he is most likely stuck on the last step, the Beast God Heart. If he comprehends the Beast God Heart, then he will become the Lord of the Universe.
With the detailed explanations in the "Kun Yuan Seven Forms" and these eight Beast God Statue, it is indeed more suitable to cultivate the Beast God Path in this Holy Land of the Mountain Giant Clan. I wonder how long it will take me to master the first form of the Seven Forms of Kun Yuan!
With this in mind, Gulanxiu quickly entered a meditative state. At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon Clone within the Green Lotus continuously inscribed the fusion Law of the Earth and Space Law based on the various secret runes on the eight Beast God Statue!
Meanwhile, within an endless Space Fragment, in a vast Divine Kingdom, the Dream Tapir Venerable roared in fury, "Damn it! How dare the Human Race be so unruly! Sending a Universe Overlord to personally protect Gulanxiu! Assassinating him would require at least a Universe Venerable to intervene. Am I just supposed to give up like this?"
After a moment, it said dejectedly, "Forget it! He's just a genius who appears only once every ten million epochs! It's not worth losing a Venerable for him! Once he breaks through to the Realm Lord Level, he will definitely go to the Star Domain Battlefield, and there will be plenty of opportunities then!"
Meanwhile, in another Divine Kingdom, the Immortal Level Zerg Queen also received the news. She frowned slightly, looking pitiful, and said softly, "The Beast God Race is truly useless! They even failed in an assassination attempt outside Human Territory! But now is the time for our three races to form an alliance; it wouldn't be good for the Human Race to have leverage over us. Let's leave it at that for now!"
Its voice gradually lowered as it spoke.
At this moment, Gulanxiu was unaware that because of the appearance of the Golden Dragon Venerable, the Alien Race had temporarily given up their pursuit of him. Originally, the Nine Universe Master arranged for the Golden Dragon Venerable to follow him to guard against the various underhanded tricks of the Emperor Yan. Unexpectedly, the Emperor Yan was provoked by the Chaos City Lord and went into seclusion to create the Universe Master Strongest Secret Art. He did not waste any energy on Gulanxiu at all.
As a result of unforeseen circumstances, the presence of the Golden Dragon Venerable actually deterred the Alien Race assassination attempt.
Gulanxiu immersed himself in the study of the Beast God Path. Because Gulanxiu had made considerable progress in the Space Law and Earth Law, he found the cultivation process much easier than the fusion of Gold-Space.
Moreover, the Ancestral Dragon Clone may indeed have some connection with the Primordial Beast God, and it is even more adept at cultivating the Beast God Path.
He quickly fused the two simplest Earth Law runes and Space Law Secret Patterns.
Having reached this point, Gulanxiu can be considered to have entered the Beast God Path. Although he is still far from mastering the first level, he has successfully taken the first step.
Next, Gulanxiu continued to delve into the cultivation of the Beast God Path, shielding himself from all external perception. His eyes, blank and mechanical, traced various secret patterns and attempted to fuse them. There were failures and successes during the fusion process! But overall, Gulanxiu was making continuous progress.
Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, utterly insignificant to the Universe Venerable. Venerable Haoshi said to Golden Dragon Venerable, "Golden Dragon! Five hundred years have passed! Time to go and fetch that little Human Race!"
Golden Dragon Venerable chuckled and said, "Haoshi, don't be in such a hurry! I think you've already realized that the little guy is at a crucial moment. Waking him up now won't earn you his gratitude, and might even create an enemy!"
Venerable Haoshi shook his head and said, "It was agreed upon back then that it would be five hundred years! That's five hundred years! Not even a day more!"
Golden Dragon Venerable was quite familiar with Venerable Haoshi and knew that he always meant what he said, so he smiled wryly and said, "You really are a blockhead. You can even tell that he's in a special cultivation state. Wouldn't waking him up in this situation offend someone?"
Venerable Haoshi rolled his one eye and said, "I can let him cultivate for a longer period of time, but you must agree to one condition!"
"What are the conditions?" Golden Dragon Venerable asked curiously.
"Come with me to explore the Rios Secret Realm! The Rios Secret Realm is a new Universe Secret Realm discovered within the territory of the powerful Eridanus Race! It is extremely dangerous inside; anyone below the level of Universe Venerable will surely die if they enter. Not only is the environment dangerous, but several Universe Overlord- level beings also live within the Secret Realm. I am not confident in exploring it alone, so I thought I would ask you to come with me!" Venerable Haoshi explained.
After hearing Venerable Haoshi's words, Golden Dragon Venerable quickly searched for information about the Rios Secret Realm through the Virtual Universe and understood Venerable Haoshi's meaning.
Although both are Universe Overlord, Venerable Haoshi's strength is similar to that of Golden Dragon Venerable, and he even has an advantage in a prolonged battle due to his enormous Divine Body.
However, in terms of various methods and Supreme Treasure, Venerable Haoshi is far inferior to Golden Dragon Venerable. Supreme Treasure Venerable Haoshi, who comes from an ordinary race, only possesses the two most basic treasures: weapons and armor.
In addition to his weapons and armor, Golden Dragon Venerable also possesses a common Domain-type Supreme Treasure and a top-tier Palace-type Treasure, making him far more capable of protecting himself than Venerable Haoshi. Moreover, Golden Dragon Venerable is a disciple of the Nine Universe Master, and can unleash Great Summoning Art if he encounters an insurmountable enemy!
It was obvious that Venerable Haoshi wanted to take advantage of Golden Dragon Venerable Golden Dragon Venerable's various Supreme Treasure, which made Golden Dragon Venerable fall into deep thought.
If he agrees to Venerable Haoshi now, then because of Gulanxiu's favor, he cannot discuss the distribution of the gains from exploring the Secret Realm with Venerable Haoshi. It would be equivalent to him paying a price so that Gulanxiu could continue to comprehend.
Although he thought highly of Gulanxiu and had received instructions from his teacher to help Gulanxiu within his capabilities, he was still somewhat resistant to the idea of using his own interests to pave the way for Gulanxiu.
But at this moment, Venerable Haoshi brought it up, and if he didn't agree, it would seem like he didn't care about the younger generation, which would be Human Race.
Thinking of this, Golden Dragon Venerable sighed inwardly and prepared to agree. He couldn't let the Alien Race look down on the Human Race! He was Golden Dragon Venerable, who cared about the younger generation!
However, at this moment, another change occurred with Gulanxiu. Gulanxiu held a slightly complex rune in each hand and slowly controlled the two runes to merge together.
As the two runes merged, they also underwent continuous changes, eventually combining into an even more complex rune.
A powerful energy emanated from the secret runes!
"How is this possible?" Venerable Haoshi said in disbelief. As Mountain Giant Clan, most of their powerful members had cultivated the Beast God Path, so they could naturally see that this was Gulanxiu's manifestation of having completely mastered the first level of the Beast God Path.
But that's precisely why he found it hard to believe. You see, the Beast God Path is difficult to understand. Even the creator of the Kun Yuan Seven Forms, Venerable Qianyuan, took three thousand years to master the first level.
Of course, this is also because Qian Yuan was exploring on his own. Although there were living Beast God as a reference, the Beast God could not explain things to Qian Yuan in too much detail. He had to rely entirely on his own understanding.
Even the later Mountain Giant Clan didn't have such a fast cultivation speed! Take Venerable Haoshi himself for example, it took him a full 1,800 years to complete the first level. He ranked second in the clan in terms of speed. His cultivation conditions were much better than Gulanxiu's. He had all of Venerable Qianyuan's insights and guidance from a powerful cultivator of the Beast God Path.
"Is this the peerless genius of the Human Race? With this kind of cultivation, this Human Race boy actually has the potential to become Universe Overlord." Venerable Haoshi thought to himself. At the same time, he regretted not agreeing to Golden Dragon Venerable's request to continue doing him a favor. After all, it was just cultivating in the Holy Land and wouldn't cost much!
At this moment, Golden Dragon Venerable was also shocked, but it was good news after all! This way, he wouldn't have to agree to Venerable Haoshi's request to extend Gulanxiu's time.
The Golden Dragon Venerable laughed heartily, "Good lad! Impressive! You've mastered the first level of the Beast God Path in just five hundred years! No wonder even our teacher has recognized your talent. The Beast God Path is a path to heaven; if you continue cultivating, you'll have the chance to fight alongside me!"
Then he turned to Venerable Haoshi and said, "Haoshi! Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave!"
Venerable Haoshi said to Golden Dragon Venerable, "Golden Dragon! Think carefully about my suggestion. We can split it 40/60, I'll take 40% and you take 60%!"
The Golden Dragon Venerable thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "This allocation is reasonable! Let's go after this little guy finishes his mission!"
Venerable Haoshi nodded and said, "It's a deal!"
The Golden Dragon Venerable nodded and said, "It's a deal!"
After saying that, he Teleportation away with Gulanxiu.
