The Days of Getting Beaten

At Thunder Mountain, Chaos City Lord had finished his work and was looking over the list before him, his aura surging unpredictably.

"Alien Race!"

For the past ten years, the most hotly discussed topic in the Primal Universe had been the Human Race's Virtual Universe. Even the Holy Lands in the Universe Ocean were doing everything they could to find out more.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the clan had rooted out quite a few spies. They had even found some famous names among them. The gains had been substantial, but the losses were heartbreaking.

"Thankfully, access to the Nine Basic Forms inheritance has been strictly controlled. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Now, the inheritance was available only to a few World Lords with outstanding military achievements on the battlefield, along with some ancient Venerables and King-Rank powerhouses who could be trusted.

No matter how talented they were, none of the other geniuses had been included. Apart from the old version of the Seven Forms used by the Earth Lineage, no information had leaked outside.

This was especially true of the World Lords, many of whom were Divine Kingdom Humans. They had to complete their inheritance in the Initial Universe.

"But the clan has been studying it for hundreds of years without making any progress. Should I tell that kid?"

Palace Master Biluo had already made her breakthrough. Maybe she could put in a word for him?

Just as Chaos City Lord was wondering how to bring it up, an email arrived from Palace Master Biluo.

"Jade Lotus Body?"

Chaos City Lord murmured in confusion. A moment later, he sprang to his feet, eyes wide, and exclaimed,

"A hundredfold amplification! And it doesn't even require many resources? Something like this has appeared in the Primal Universe?"

This was an unlimited Divine General Inheritance. The best amplification the entire clan currently had was only sixty-fourfold.

"Good... good... brilliant!"

Chaos City Lord read through the details and tested it at the same time. With the thought processes of a Universe Master, he quickly completed the training, though he still couldn't achieve perfection.

But he could tell that as long as he made use of the secret patterns within it, even if he wasn't in a Human Race body, he should still be able to do it with the help of a few treasures.

"Looks like there's no need to ask him. Let him do as he pleases! If he could get a few more bodies, he might comprehend even more."

There was no need to mention Chen Qing's military merits. The treasury had a few options, and if those weren't enough, he was sure others would be willing to offer items from their collections.

Having alternate bodies would be immensely useful for both cultivation and safety, but they would have to wait until he came out.

"I hope it won't be too late by then!"

"Boom!"

With a violent collision, the surrounding mist was blasted away, and a graceful figure slammed into the mountainside. Moments later, she crawled back out.

"Sister Yao Rao, that's the third time! That's nine days in total!"

Ever since Chen Qing had perfected the Jade Lotus Body, his desire to explore had waned. They had now confirmed that this was Mist Shadow Race territory and were almost certain there was a Supreme Treasure here.

It seemed this entire area was part of the region where the Supreme Treasure was being nurtured. With puppets like these around, there probably weren't any other living creatures here.

They still didn't know how many puppets there were. He needed to get stronger first.

Jiang Fang and Yao Rao, however, were both fired up. This was their first time fighting Alien Race members in person!

With Chen Qing's domain and his Quake Seal Innate Secret Technique suppressing the puppets, the two of them had insisted on giving it a try.

But Chen Qing had his limits, too. He had taken the opportunity to sign a "peaceful" agreement, and only then had things reached this point.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

Hearing Chen Qing's cheeky voice, Yao Rao's temper flared. She was still a little unfamiliar with using the new essence she'd recently deciphered.

Chen Qing shrank his neck and looked toward Sister Fang. Her lithe, spirited figure darted through the air. She was beautiful, but in front of the black shadow, she wasn't even as threatening as a mosquito.

The worst part was that the black shadow didn't just have arms—it could grow them anywhere, leaving the two of them unable to defend themselves.

In a small cabin far from the battlefield, Chen Qing held the two women, their passion still lingering, as he savored the thrill of their "battle."

"You haven't been studying the laws much lately!"

Jiang Fang gave a soft snort, her husky voice carrying a unique charm.

"Mm. I've only completed the space-time Law Essence. There's also the inheritance for crafting weapons. Weapons can boost our secret techniques by too much to ignore."

In truth, Chen Qing hadn't told them what the secret patterns were really for. Lately, as he worked on comprehending the fourth layer of Creation, the dense secret patterns had made his scalp tingle!

Creation didn't increase one's genes for no reason. It was the evolution of the Great Dao, manifested through secret patterns.

The fourth layer was also divided into nine minor stages, but each one had to be completed in a single, uninterrupted flow. Only after all nine were complete would they fuse together and trigger a leap in life.

Secret patterns could be said to be a more detailed application of the laws, and they would also benefit his secret techniques in the future. With Luo Feng's experience to learn from, Chen Qing naturally took them seriously.

Even without comprehending the laws, by the time he finished cultivating the fourth layer, he figured the laws would more or less acknowledge him.

Unfortunately, the clan didn't have many secret-pattern inheritances, and most of them were related to crafting weapons. Besides, he'd already taken nearly everything he could the last time.

"As long as it hasn't held up your cultivation. Our law comprehension is still a little slow!"

Chen Qing squeezed her delicate breasts. Hearing Yao Rao's soft moan, he reassured her,

"We're still so young. We've got plenty of time! We should learn from big brother. So what if we're slow? We just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other!"

"Mm..."

Sister Fang shifted into a more comfortable position, her head bobbing like a little caterpillar.

"Our teacher emailed us. Before long, we'll have to start the earlier lessons again!"

At the sound of Sister Fang's soft, mature voice, Chen Qing's hands paused.

"What? You've already made your breakthroughs. Does she really have time to keep an eye on you every day?"

"Who's keeping an eye on us? She's keeping an eye on you, isn't she? Do you really think we're stupid?"

Yao Rao had been resting with her eyes closed, but she couldn't stand listening any longer. She lifted her head to interject, then quickly slumped back down as the hand on her started wandering again.

Chen Qing's hand had been moving unconsciously, but his thoughts couldn't help drifting.

Back when Original Ancestor introduced their teacher, he'd said that Palace Master Biluo was the Overlord guarding Mother Ancestor Planet. She was definitely connected to the Lord of Mother Ancestor.

The original story had never introduced Mother Ancestor. Even when Luo Feng attended the Giant Axe Meeting, there had been no mention of her among the eighteen leaders.

If Mother Ancestor's identity was that special, and she was still around, then she shouldn't have been left out entirely—not even mentioned in the background.

If she was gone, then the only thing Palace Master Biluo could be seeking was Mother Ancestor's revival!

A Universe Master, no less. He wondered whether the Primal Universe would allow it. Come to think of it, could there have been a reason Original Ancestor wanted to possess the Primal Universe?

But the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Original Ancestor was an exceptionally clever man who had dominated the Universe Ocean early in the cycle of reincarnation. Why had he been in such a hurry?

Or had the Purple Moon Holy Land spread some information to mislead him? That guy had treated the Primal Universe like his most precious treasure.

Chen Qing felt his curiosity burning. He wanted to haul Original Ancestor out right then and interrogate him thoroughly.

In the end, though, Chen Qing didn't act on the idea. Original Ancestor had already suffered enough, and doing that would have been a little too rash.

His wives returned to the base. They were now in the prime period for comprehending the laws, and if not for the matter of amplification, he wouldn't have let them stay out for so long.

Otherwise, when the secret realm emerged and they left the Origin Land, given their aptitudes, who knew how long it would take them to break through!
