"Since you're going to compete in the Universe-Level Warrior Tournament, I assume your Desolate God Clan true body will be the one going. So take this Phantom Spirit Armor!"
Huang Tian saw that his son had made up his mind and said no more. He took out a colorful suit of soft armor and handed it to Huang Wuye.
Huang Wuye looked at Huang Tian in puzzlement, but he didn't hesitate to take the armor from him.
"This is a special treasure. Apart from providing basic protection, its main function is to change the size of your body.
"It's a protective treasure passed down through our branch for disciples to use during their trials.
"With it, you can change your body to the size of an ordinary person.
"After all, members of my Desolate God Clan are far too conspicuous."
Seeing his son's puzzled expression, Huang Tian explained.
"Change my body size? Then you should keep it for yourself, old man!"
Seeing Huang Tian's body suddenly grow taller, and remembering the transformation secret technique he had gained by analyzing the Demon-Slaying Clan's genes, Huang Wuye decided to return the Phantom Spirit Armor.
To make sure Huang Tian believed him, he kept changing his body as he spoke.
Huang Tian was surprised to see his son's body changing repeatedly. But he didn't take the Phantom Spirit Armor back; instead, he pushed it toward him again.
"What kind of secret technique is that? I don't know its limits, but I can make a rough guess. Besides, it can't change your aura.
"With the Phantom Spirit Armor, you can completely conceal your aura.
"And the Phantom Spirit Armor's defense is no weaker than that of ordinary Immortal Level armor. Most importantly, it's no use to me anymore."
"Fine, then I'll give it to my Gluttonous Golden Ape clone. Hmm, old man, are you planning to break through to immortality?"
Huang Wuye immediately caught the key point. If even the Phantom Spirit Armor, which could rival an immortal treasure, was no use to Huang Tian, then he was probably about to break through.
"Mm. Your mother was ready to break through a long time ago. It's time for me to do the same." Huang Tian smiled and nodded.
Huang Wuye was delighted. Huang Tian's several clones already had strength on par with a Marquis-level or even King-level Immortal.
Once he broke through, he would be an absolute powerhouse even among King-level Immortals.
And Huang Tian had clones, making him even stronger than ordinary King-level Immortals.
Huang Tian was happy too. After countless years of cultivation, he was finally about to step into immortality. Now he could share his joy with his son, and that lifted his spirits.
"Has your second soul clone been born yet?" he asked Huang Wuye.
"It has." Huang Wuye was puzzled. Had his father found a clue about a second clone?
"Since it's already been born, you need to pay attention. If I'm not mistaken, you'll make a discovery here on Giant Wood Planet.
"The clan knows something about your talent. Normally, your mission wouldn't be on Giant Wood Planet, so there must be a reason you were sent here.
"This planet wasn't like this a long time ago. If I'm right, your second clone is here.
"Of course, you'll have to find it yourself. That's the real reason you were assigned to Giant Wood Planet," Huang Tian explained.
Huang Wuye's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected another surprise. It seemed he'd have to transfer his soul clone to the Gluttonous Golden Ape when the time came.
Huang Wuye could transfer his soul clone, and if his main body died, he could reproduce it in one of his other clones.
Likewise, if another soul clone died, it could be reproduced. It would just take longer if his main soul died.
"All right, let's leave that aside for now. First, make the Gluttonous Golden Ape recognize you as its master."
Having finished his instructions, Huang Tian turned his attention back to the Gluttonous Golden Ape.
Huang Wuye reconnected his mind to his secondary soul, focused most of his awareness on the Gluttonous Golden Ape, then set aside a sliver of consciousness to review his plans for the Universe-Level Warrior Tournament.
Huang Wuye was fairly confident about the tournament, thanks to the progress he'd made over the past three years.
With the help of Nutrient Solution, both his warrior level and his Spiritual Reader level had reached the peak of Universe Level over the past three years.
This time, he hadn't let his Spiritual Reader level advance to Domain Lord Level. He had deliberately held it back.
His body's strength amplification had also reached one hundred times after years of training—the limit for anyone below Immortal Level.
After gaining perfect control over his strength, Huang Wuye could control every inch of his skin and every strand of hair.
His consciousness had complete control over his body. With a thought, he could unleash tremendous power from every part of himself.
This was quite similar to shattering the void and becoming indestructible in the Dragon and Snake World.
Before breaking through to immortality and turning his body into an energy life-form, he had already reached the limit of strength amplification.
Only after breaking through to immortality could one speak of Divine Body Amplitude, depending on the body's unique characteristics.
With the help of the Fire Truth Interpretation and the Drifting Blood manual, his comprehension of the laws had also advanced rapidly.
Huang Wuye had comprehended the first level of the Fire Truth Interpretation and had already begun the second.
To understand the first level of the Fire Truth Interpretation was to master the first thirty-six fundamental mysteries.
These thirty-six fundamental mysteries formed a whole. Once comprehended, they would greatly advance one's mastery of the Fire Origin Law.
Huang Wuye could now manipulate the Law of Fire with fine control.
With the help of the Drifting Snow manual, Huang Wuye had mastered the first twenty-four fundamental mysteries of the Space Origin Law.
The Space Origin Law deserved its reputation as a higher law. Its difficulty was far beyond that of the Fire Origin Law.
Even with Huang Wuye's talent, which far surpassed that of Kedi, the once-in-a-billion-epoch genius, he had only comprehended the first twenty-four fundamental mysteries.
Of course, that was already astonishing. By the standards of the Virtual Universe Company's Nine Universes Chaos Stele, it was equivalent to having comprehended the Second Diagram, the Drizzle Diagram.
The first three diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele were the First Diagram, the "Raindrop Diagram"; the Second Diagram, the "Drizzle Diagram"; and the Third Diagram, the "Rainstorm Diagram." Each one delved deeper into the study of the Space Origin Law.
Comprehending the Raindrop Diagram and gaining a rough understanding of the Drizzle Diagram was enough to pass the sixth level of the Heavenly Bridge.
Huang Wuye's comprehension of the Space Origin Law was certainly beyond that.
It could be said that Huang Wuye might place in the top thousand in the Universe-Level Warrior Tournament, and perhaps even earn a decent ranking.
But his goal was the top three, or even first place, so he could enter the Primal Region directly. His current strength still wasn't enough.
Over the years, Huang Wuye's life genes had continued to evolve with the help of his Innate Secret Technique, Soul Analysis.
His life genes were now fifteen times stronger than an ordinary human's.
He'd also had a small surprise: the embryonic form of an Origin Core had appeared inside his body.
As Huang Wuye's life evolved, many wondrous changes had appeared in his body.
It was like the ancient martial arts of China: he seemed to have unlocked his latent potential and opened the treasures of the human body, developing all kinds of divine abilities.
Huang Wuye looked forward to seeing what would happen. The appearance of the Origin Core had only surprised him a little.
After all, he didn't have the Clone Talent; he was just a little harder to kill, with fewer vital spots in his body.
