Secret Techniques and Statues

A short while later, Elder Si Fanqi came out.

"Your Highness Luo Feng, the Elder have agreed to let you study the Sacred Stele, and have specially granted you permission to study it alone. Furthermore, after you finish studying it, Your Highness can choose any secret technique stored in the Sacred Land," Si Fanqi brought good news.

Luo Feng was taken aback. The Golden Horn Tribe was being far too kind to him. He not only had to study the Sacred Stele, but he also received a secret technique. This treatment was incredible.

After speaking, Si Fanqi looked at Xu Qing, "Your Highness does not wish to comprehend the Sacred Stele, would you require a secret method?"

"I have one too?" Xu Qing pointed to himself in surprise.

"Of course, compared to the Sacred Stele, the secret technique is nothing," Si Fanqi smiled.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then decided to accept the offer. "Thank you very much, Elder. Please also convey my thanks to the Elder of the Golden Horn Tribe."

"Haha, Your Highness is too kind," Si Fanqi laughed heartily.

Subsequently, someone took Luo Feng to the Sacred City to study the Sacred Stele.

Xu Qing, led by Elder Si Fanqi, arrived at the Secret Codex Tower, an important place in the Sacred City.

This Secret Codex Tower contains trial versions of all the secret techniques stored by the Golden Horn Tribe, which can be viewed and selected at will.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the Secret Codex Tower, a woman from the Golden Horn Tribe came to greet us.

"Your Prince Xu Qing, the Secret Codex Tower has nine hundred and ninety-nine floors. The higher the floor, the more precious the secret techniques," the female Golden Horn Tribe explained.

"I can choose whatever I want, right? Can I just start with the most expensive one?" Xu Qing asked her.

The female Golden Horn Tribe was surprised, but she nodded nonetheless and led Xu Qing to the top floor.

"Your Highness, all the sample texts of the most precious secret techniques are here. You may view and choose freely," the female Golden Horn Tribe said, then stepped aside.

Xu Qing began to watch.

He skipped Combat Secret Technique, glancing at the descriptions and then ignoring them. He would only look at the auxiliary and amplification techniques at most.

The female Golden Horn Tribe secretly observed Xu Qing, her expression somewhat puzzled.

She had thought Xu Qing would be more interested in Combat Secret Technique, especially since many of the precious techniques here were Combat Secret Technique.

The Golden Horn Tribe's Combat Secret Technique are renowned throughout the universe, and the Yan Shen Armament is just one example of them.

However, Xu Qing seemed uninterested in Combat Secret Technique Combat Secret Technique and kept looking at other secret techniques, which were mostly obscure ones.

"This human Your Highness is really strange," the female Golden Horn Tribe thought.

After several days of selection, Xu Qing chose the "Herodotus's Sayings".

The Herodotus's Sayings is a record made by Herodo's disciples after Xilodo's disappearance, documenting all the teachings Xilodo gave them. It is a rich collection of sayings, containing much explanatory content and accompanied by examples of secret methods.

"Your Prince Xu Qing, are you sure?" The female Golden Horn Tribe was surprised by Xu Qing's choice.

This book, "The Herodotus's Sayings," was chosen by the strongest members of the Golden Horn Tribe, and not many people chose it.

"Okay, this is the one," Xu Qing nodded.

He wanted to see how this great being taught, hoping it might help him refine his own secret methods.

"Yes, Your Highness, I have reported your choice. You may wait on the first floor. The secret manual will be delivered soon," the female Golden Horn Tribe said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for your help," Xu Qing said as he returned to the first floor.

"Your Highness, how did the selection go?" Si Fanqi asked curiously.

"I chose the Herodotus's Sayings," Xu Qing told him directly.

Si Fanqi Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised. He thought Xu Qing would choose Combat Secret Technique, but he didn't expect him to choose the supportive <Herodotus's Sayings>.

A moment later, several Immortal Spirit of the Golden Horn Tribe arrived, escorting a thick metal book.

"Your Prince Xu Qing, this is the original text of the <Herodotus's Sayings> that you have chosen. Please study it separately and memorize it," the leading Immortal Spirit handed the metal book to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took the metal book to the side and began taking shorthand notes.

"Akaro, you should take notes too," Xu Qing said to Akaro.

"Okay, Elder Brother," Akaro quickly converted the content into text and wrote it down.

Soon after, Xu Qing memorized all the contents and then exchanged the metal book with that Immortal Spirit.

Soon, the Immortal beings left with the metal books.

"Your Highness, how are you feeling?" Elder Si Fanqi asked with a smile as they walked out of the Secret Codex Tower.

Xu Qing smiled and nodded, "The Golden Horn Tribe is very generous and a true friend. If there's anything I can do to help in the future, just let me know."

"Haha, then I'll take it seriously," Si Fanqi laughed heartily, relieved by those words.

Stepping out of the Secret Codex Tower, one sees many figures outside, all young people from the Golden Horn Tribe.

"Look, a human genius has emerged!"

"Human, my name is Qiluo, and I challenge you!"

"And me..."

The group of the Golden Horn Tribe geniuses all started shouting; they were all ninth-level Domain Lord level geniuses.

Just as Si Fanqi was about to speak, Xu Qing stopped him with a look.

"You want to challenge me?" Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of a powerful figure.

"That's right," they all nodded.

Xu Qing said calmly, "I'm very busy. I'm going to see the scenery later. Who among you is the strongest? Step forward."

Upon hearing this, all the Golden Horn Tribe geniuses exchanged glances, and the atmosphere quickly became tense and hostile.

Because none of them would admit defeat to the others, and each of them thought they were the strongest among them.

"It seems you're a bit insecure. Come back to me after you've chosen the strongest one. Alright, Elder Si Fanqi, let's go," Xu Qing said, striding away.

Elder Si Fanqi glanced at those Golden Horn Tribe geniuses and shook his head; they were too young.

Lena had the same idea; she was easily fooled by Xu Qing with just a few words, even easier than deceiving a child.

"Elder Si Fanqi, just send someone to show me around. You can go about your business," Xu Qing said.

Elder Si Fanqi smiled and said, "It's alright. I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll show Your Highness around. I'm quite familiar with this Sacred City."

"Alright," Xu Qing said without refusing.

Led by Elder Si Fanqi, Xu Qing toured the Sacred City and learned about the customs and traditions of the Golden Horn Tribe.

"Elder Si Fanqi, is there anything special about this place, or any scenery that's particularly beautiful?" Xu Qing asked.

"A special place?" Si Fanqi thought for a moment, "Would Beast God Canyon count? It's just that the scenery is only so-so."

"Beast God Canyon?" Xu Qing's gaze narrowed slightly.

In the Blood Luo World, he saw the Law Secret Patterns left by the Beast God, along with the Beast God Image.

I never expected to hear the words "Beast God" among the Golden Horn Tribe.

Si Fanqi nodded. "There is a giant Beast God Statue there. Even Xilodo, the greatest being of our race, said that he learned his ultimate technique from the giant Beast God Statue."

"Take me to see it," Xu Qing said, intrigued.

Afterwards, Elder Si Fanqi led Xu Qing and the others to the Beast God Canyon.

Beast God Canyon.

The enormous Beast God Statue lay prostrate on the ground, its eyes closed, as if asleep.

There is also a palace next to it, where the Elder of the Golden Horn Tribe are stationed, guarding the Beast God Statue.

Around the statue, many Golden Horn Tribe and Human Race sat cross-legged on the ground, contemplating the Beast God Statue.

"Your Highness, this is the Beast God Statue," Si Fanqi said.

Xu Qing stood in the air, circled the Beast God Statue, and felt a faint pressure.

The oppressive aura wasn't very strong, but it was undeniably real, as if this wasn't a statue, but a true Beast God in slumber.

"It's a little different. If the Beast God in the Blood Luo World is of the metal and void type, then this Beast God is of the earth and void type. It is one of the Eight Beast Gods," Xu Qing said, rubbing his chin.

Si Fanqi and Lena followed behind Xu Qing without making a sound.

"My Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path are remarkably similar to the Eight Beast Gods. The Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path shouldn't be considered a single secret technique, but rather a set of secret techniques. Besides Arrow Path, there should also be attack secret techniques that complement the Divine Aspect forms."

"Arrow Path is the main trunk, while the Eight Divine Aspect are the branches. They complement each other and together form the true Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path," Xu Qing seemed to have figured something out.

"I'll also try to understand it," Xu Qing said, landing and sitting cross-legged.

Elder Si Fanqi and Lena also sat down cross-legged beside them.

"Akaro, send a message to Babata and tell him to tell my brother-in-law that there is Beast God Statue here, and also that the secret technique I chose is the <Herodotus's Sayings>," Xu Qing said.

"Okay," Akaro immediately complied.

A month passed quickly. Luo Feng finished his comprehension of the Sacred Stele and then went to the Secret Codex Tower to select a secret technique.

In the end, he chose <Thirty-Six Layers of God Evolution>.

After choosing the secret technique, Luo Feng immediately rushed to Beast God Canyon.

Last time in the Blood Luo World, those Beast God Image brought him great gains, and he only comprehended about 10% of them. He hoped that this Beast God Statue would give him some insights.

"Xiao Qing, you're also interested in the Beast God Statue?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

Xu Qing nodded, "It will be useful for my Ba Shen Form, since I will be Creation Secret Technique in the future."

Luo Feng understood. "Then you'll be very busy from now on."

"No, I'll just create one killer move. One trick is all you need. My real skill is still Arrow Path," Xu Qing shook his head and explained.

"That makes sense. It seems you already have a plan," Luo Feng thought, finding it quite reasonable.

The more secret techniques you use, the better; the simpler they are, the more lethal they are.

Of course, this greatly tests the skill and ability of the creator of the secret technique.

Next, Luo Feng also began to study the Beast God Statue.

More than a hundred years have quietly passed.

In Beast God Canyon, atop a stone mountain, Xu Qing sat on the edge, eating fruit and gazing at the scenery within the canyon.

"I wonder when my brother-in-law will finish," Xu Qing glanced over and saw that Luo Feng was still cultivating, with Dylan and Elder Si Fanqi standing guard beside him.

"Your Highness, if you wish to return, you can have Elder Si Fanqi escort us to leave ahead of time," Lena said.

Xu Qing shook her head. "Then let's forget about it and wait a bit longer."

During this time, he and his Clone had already completed the cultivation of that mysterious technique that enhances life genes.

"After cultivating the first level, my life gene has tripled. My Clone, Xiao Lv, has already reached its limit, with 10081 times the life gene. This number already represents perfection," Xu Qing thought.

Xiao Hui and Xiao Cai also tripled, their life genes reaching more than three hundred times.

The most direct change brought about by the elevation of the Life Gene Level is the increase in basic physical strength and basic Spiritual Force, which are more than three times the original levels.

"Xiao Lv has completely surpassed my original self. His life genes have reached a perfect level. Even with the power of World Lord level, he could probably smash Immortal into a meat patty with a single slap. As for me... I only have three times the power," Xu Qing said with mixed feelings.

Who exactly is the real person?

This is the advantage of a higher Life Gene Level; it's a world of difference.

It's like building a house, but you're using mud, while they're using the world's hardest alloy.

"I'm jealous, I'm envious, but he just happens to be my Clone," Xu Qing sighed inwardly.

Through Xiao Lv, Xu Qing could clearly understand what it felt like for World Lord level to kill Immortal, or even Marquis Level Immortal.

Now, Xiao Lv has cultivated to the eighth level of the World Lord level, and is not far from the peak of the ninth level.

Xu Qing estimated that once Xiao Lv reached the Peak World Lord, her combat power would likely increase dramatically, and at that time, she would probably be able to suppress even the King Level Immortal.

"Hehe," Xu Qing chuckled again, thinking of this.

Next, Xu Qing continued reading the "Herodotus's Sayings" until Luo Feng finished his cultivation.

Twenty years later, Luo Feng finally finished this training.

"Brother-in-law, how was the harvest?" Xu Qing asked.

"Very good. You have grasped the true essence of the Beast God, and you have also comprehended eighty-six of the basic mysteries of space. There are only twenty-two left," Luo Feng said with a smile.

If he were to attempt the Heavenly Bridge now, the Tenth Layer would be a piece of cake.

"Let's go back to Earth then, we've been out for quite a while," Xu Qing said.

"Okay, let's go," Luo Feng nodded.

Later, Elder Si Fanqi personally escorted Xu Qing and the others out of Olas.

The red Black Ink Star Ship shuttled through the Dark Universe, heading towards Earth.

"Xiao Qing, let me ask you, do you think I should take control of that Zerg Hive on Earth?" Luo Feng asked.

"That Zerg Hive on Earth? It's World Lord level Mother Nest, isn't it? I don't think it's necessary. Even if it could produce a lot of World Lord level Zerg Warrior, at most it could only threaten Marquis Level Immortal, and it couldn't even defeat King Level Immortal."

"If it were an Immortal Level Zerg Hive, it would be somewhat interesting, but it's not something we can afford to do. So my suggestion is, brother-in-law, stop eyeing that Mother Nest. Once you become Immortal yourself, you won't even look at it," Xu Qing said.

After listening to Xu Qing's words, Luo Feng began to ponder.

That Zerg Hive was left to Luo Feng by Luo Feng first teacher, who hoped it would be helpful to him in the future.

However, now that Luo Feng has taken a different path and become Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, Zerg Hive at the World Lord level is indeed not very important.

"Brother-in-law, as long as you become stronger fast enough, you'll find that many external forces are useless and have no purpose," Xu Qing shrugged.

Then, he transmitted another message, "Brother-in-law, my Clone, Xiao Lv, is incredibly strong now; it's more than enough to protect both of us."

"Your most urgent task right now is to quickly improve your cultivation level. Don't let external things distract you. Once you become stronger, you will naturally become fearless."
