The Days of Getting Beaten

Thunder Mountain. The Chaos City Lord, having finished his busy work, looked at the list before him, his aura surging and unstable.

"Foreign races!"

Over the past ten years, the most discussed topic in the Primal Universe had been the Human Race's Virtual Universe. Even the sacred lands of the Universe Ocean were desperately trying to pry for information.

Taking this opportunity, the race had rooted out quite a few planted spies, even spotting some famous names among them. Though the harvest was bountiful, it was also deeply heartbreaking.

"Thank goodness the inheritance of the Nine Basic Forms was strictly controlled. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Now, aside from a few exceptionally meritorious Domain Lords on the battlefield, and some ancient Venerables and King-level powerhouses who were confident in their abilities, Not even the most talented geniuses were included in the scope of inheritance. Apart from the old Seven Forms of the Earth lineage, there was no information available to the outside world.

Especially those Domain Lords—many of them were humans from the God Kingdom and had to complete their inheritance in the Initial Universe.

"But the race has studied it for centuries without any progress. Should I mention it to that kid?"

The Palace Master Biluo had already broken through. Could she perhaps bring it up?

Just as the Chaos City Lord was pondering how to broach the subject, an email from the Palace Master Biluo arrived.

"Jade Lotus Body?"

The Chaos City Lord read the name with confusion, then suddenly shot to his feet. His eyes widened as he exclaimed in disbelief, "A hundredfold amplification! And it doesn't require too many resources? Something like this appears in the Primal Universe?"

This was an infinite Divine General inheritance! To think that the best amplification the entire race currently had was only 64 times.

"Good... good... exquisite!"

The Chaos City Lord experimented as he read. With the mind of a Universe Master, he quickly completed the cultivation. Though he couldn't yet achieve perfection, He had a feeling that, by relying on the secret patterns within, even if he didn't have a human body, with the help of some treasures, he should be able to complete it.

"It seems there's no need to ask. Let him do his own thing! If only he had a few avatars, he might comprehend even more."

Chen Qing's contributions went without saying, and the treasury had some options. If that wasn't enough, he was sure other people's collections would be willingly offered.

Having avatars was immensely beneficial, both for cultivation and for safety. But he had to wait until the kid came out.

"I hope it's not too late when he does!"

"Boom!"

With a violent collision, the surrounding mist was blasted apart. A graceful figure slammed into the mountain, only to emerge moments later.

"Sister Yao Rao, that's the third time! That adds up to nine days!"

Ever since Chen Qing perfected the Jade Lotus Body, his desire to explore had diminished significantly. Now that he had confirmed the Mist Shadow Race, he had essentially identified the supreme treasure.

This entire area was likely the range where the supreme treasure was gestating. With these puppets around, there probably weren't any other living beings.

He still didn't know how many puppets there were. He needed to improve himself further.

Jiang Fang and Yao Rao, on the other hand, were in high spirits. This was their first real battle against an alien race in reality!

With Chen Qing's domain and the "Quake Seal" innate secret technique suppressing the puppets, the two women insisted on giving it a try.

But Chen Qing was also expending energy. Only after seizing the opportunity to sign an "equal" contract did the earlier scene unfold.

"You think I'm scared of you, you bastard?"

Hearing Chen Qing's smug voice, Yao Rao's temper flared. She had recently been analyzing a new essence and was still a bit rusty in its application.

Chen Qing shrank his neck, then looked at Sister Fang. Her fierce and graceful figure weaved through the air. Though beautiful, she was less than a mosquito compared to the black shadow.

The crucial problem was that the black shadow not only had hands, but could grow them anywhere, making it impossible for the two women to defend against.

In a small wooden cabin far from the battlefield, Chen Qing held the two women, whose lingering excitement had yet to fade, as he savored the thrill of their "battle."

"You haven't been comprehending the laws lately, have you?"

Jiang Fang let out a soft hum. Her hoarse voice carried a unique charm.

"Mm. The only essence of the laws I haven't completed is space-time. There's also the inheritance of artifact forging. The amplification weapons provide for our secret techniques is too important."

In truth, Chen Qing didn't mention the true function of the secret patterns. Recently, when comprehending the fourth layer of Creation, the dense, intricate patterns had made his scalp tingle!

Creation wasn't about randomly increasing genes. It was the evolution of the Great Dao, manifested through secret patterns.

The fourth layer was also divided into nine minor stages. But each minor stage had to be completed in one go. Only after all nine minor stages were finished would they merge into one, driving the leap in life.

Secret patterns could be considered a more refined application of the laws, which would also benefit future secret techniques. Drawing from Luo Feng's experience, Chen Qing naturally took them seriously.

Even if he hadn't comprehended the laws, he estimated that by the time he finished cultivating the fourth layer, the laws would be ready to acknowledge him.

Unfortunately, the race didn't have many secret pattern inheritances, and most were related to artifact forging. Besides, he had already milked them dry last time.

"As long as it doesn't hinder your cultivation. Our comprehension of the laws is still a bit slow!"

Chen Qing squeezed the jade-like peaks in his hands, and upon hearing Yao Rao's coquettish hum, he comforted her:

"How old are we? We have plenty of time! Learn from Big Brother. What's wrong with being slow? Just take it one step at a time!"

"Mmm..."

Sister Fang shifted to a more comfortable position, her head nuzzling like a caterpillar.

"The teacher sent a message. The next phase of lessons will start soon!"

Hearing Sister Fang's soft, mature voice, Chen Qing's hands paused.

"Come on, she's already broken through. Why does she still have the energy to keep an eye on you all every day?"

"Keeping an eye on us? Isn't she keeping an eye on you? Do you really think we're stupid?"

Yao Rao, who had been resting, couldn't take it anymore. She lifted her head to cut in, then quickly wilted again as that hand of hers started wandering once more.

Chen Qing's movement was unconscious, but his mind began to churn.

Back then, when the Original Ancestor introduced the teacher, he said that Palace Master Biluo was the overlord guarding the Mother Ancestor Planet, so she must be connected to the Lord of Mother Ancestor.

The original story never introduced the Mother Ancestor. Even when Luo Feng attended the Giant Axe Meeting, none of the eighteen leaders were introduced.

If the Mother Ancestor's identity was so special, and if she still existed, she shouldn't have been reduced to mere background decoration.

If she was gone, then the only thing Palace Master Biluo sought was to resurrect the Mother Ancestor!

A Universe Master... I wonder if the Primal Universe would allow it. Speaking of which, could the Original Ancestor's desire to take over the Primal Universe be related to this?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The Original Ancestor was such a clever man, dominating the Universe Ocean early in the reincarnation cycle. Was he really that impatient?

Or did the Purple Moon Holy Land send out some misleading information to trick him? That guy treated the Primal Universe as his own precious treasure.

Chen Qing felt the flames of gossip burning fiercely within him. He had an impulse to drag the Original Ancestor out right now and interrogate him thoroughly.

But in the end, Chen Qing's idea didn't come to pass. After all, the man had already suffered enough; such an act would be too rash.

His wives returned to the base. This was their golden period for comprehending laws. If it weren't for the amplification issue, he wouldn't have let them stay out this long.

Otherwise, once the secret realm emerged and they left the source land, with their talent, who knew when they would ever break through!
