Treasure Hunting in the Secret Land
After figuring out his next steps, Xu Qing finished building his residence.
"It's time to bring Xiao Lv back," Xu Qing murmured.
Meanwhile, somewhere on the Yanji Continent, golden light appeared, and a figure vanished.
On this day, the Ghost King, one of the two major scourges on the Yanji Continent, also departed.
Soon after, upon learning that the terrifying Ghost King had also left the Yanji Continent, all the Immortal on the entire Yanji Continent cheered.
"We've finally waited for this day! Heaven has opened its eyes! Heaven has opened its eyes!" Many Immortal jumped up and down with excitement.
Brush!
The Clone of Xiao Lv, the clone, appeared, saying, "I need to get some rest now."
"No problem. Take a break and then prepare for your breakthrough. You and Xiao Hui will break through to the Universe Venerable first. Xiao Cai and I will continue to operate within the Ancestral God Sect and search for treasures as Immortal Spirit," Xu Qing nodded.
"Hmm," Xiao Lv Clone, then went into Xiao Hui's internal space.
Later, Xu Qing and Xiao Cai arrived at the central square of Bauhinia Island and entered a fountain water curtain.
This fountain's water curtain is the entrance to the Secret Land.
In the endless void, a fountain was spraying water. There was nothing around, and two figures appeared and walked out.
"Now I can begin my treasure hunt!" Xu Qing rubbed his hands together, eager to grab every treasure he could find in the secret realm.
Within the Ancestral God Secret Region, the natural forms are incredibly diverse, resembling the cosmos, and containing all sorts of celestial bodies.
In addition to celestial bodies, there will be strange and vast landmasses, lakes, islands, mountains, waterfalls, and other unusual sights.
In the void, a Nine-Colored Waterfall cascaded down, radiating a chilling aura.
"This must be the Nine-Colored Cold Whale Water. Even Universe Venerable could be frozen stiff, its Soul Seal destroyed. Only a special vessel can hold this water."
"There is also a Cold Whale at the bottom of this waterfall. It is Special Lifeform that only the Universe Master can contend with," Xu Qing said, looking down at the bottom of the pool.
Many Special Lifeform in the Ancestral God Secret Region, although only at the level of Universe Venerable, possess combat power comparable to that of Universe Master, making them extremely powerful.
For example, the pinnacle of Special Lifeform, the World Tree, exists in this Ancestral God Secret Region.
The strongest World Tree is at the level of Universe Venerable, but its combat power is no less than that of Universe Master, just like the Cold Whale at the bottom of this pool.
"The Life Tree in my and my Clone's Divine Kingdom have reached a perfect Life Gene Level, surpassing the World Tree. In other words, my Life Tree can be considered the strongest Life Tree, and their combat power is absolutely no less than that of the Universe Master."
"It's a pity that I can only stay in the Divine Kingdom and cannot appear in the outside world to fight," Xu Qing said, stroking his chin.
He paused, then thought, "Could I find a mount?"
The Cold Whale at the bottom of the Nine-Colored Waterfall Pool tempted Xu Qing. A whale at the level of a Universe Venerable, whose combat power was no less than that of a Universe Master, would definitely be very cool.
"It's a pity I'm not Universe Venerable Universe Venerable. If I were, I could try to suppress this Cold Whale and turn it into a mount. Let's wait and see. We can deal with this Cold Whale after Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui break through," Xu Qing thought to himself.
Then, Xu Qing left.
Beneath the Nine-Colored Waterfall, in the Nine-Colored Pond, a colossal creature swam.
This is a Cold Whale that is 160,000 kilometers long. Its entire body is crystal clear, like a huge nine-colored diamond, shining with nine-colored divine light.
Suddenly, the Cold Whale inexplicably felt a chill, as if it were being watched by some terrifying being.
"Strange, I'm not even afraid of the Universe Master, so why do I have this feeling?" Cold Whale felt puzzled.
However, this feeling was only fleeting, so it assumed it was just its own illusion and didn't think much of it.
For the rest of the time, Xu Qing and his Clone Xiao Cai spent their time in the Secret Land, traveling around and collecting treasures, which they planned to use to forge battle armor.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.
Within the giant mountain range suspended in the void, Xu Qing and Xiao Cai arrived at Xiao Hui's inner space.
"Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui, you two can break through now, no need to wait any longer," Xu Qing said.
The Clone, Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui, nodded and immediately began their breakthrough.
They began to use their divine power to outline the Law Secret Patterns of the Time Law and space, and the two patterns quickly intertwined to form a Secret Pattern Diagram.
The Secret Pattern Diagram are flawless, signifying that they have thoroughly understood the two Origin Law time and space.
Rumble!
The moment the perfect Secret Pattern Diagram was drawn, the Origin Land of the Universe sensed something.
A massive, Five-Colored Vortex appeared in the sky, covering an area of billions of kilometers. The aura of the five Origin Law of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth spread out, while the center was black and white, alternating in layers, representing the endless void and infinite time.
An aura of the Origin Law of Space emanated from the area, more than billions of times more intense than when the Origin Law Mark was condensed last time.
By comprehending the Origin Law of Space or Origin Law of Time, one can become Universe Venerable.
Those who comprehend the Origin Law of Space are the Universe Master.
"Wait, I'm wrong. As long as you comprehend the Origin Law of Space, you become the Universe Master. You don't need to perfectly integrate the Origin Law of Space!" Xu Qing suddenly realized this.
He had always believed that to become the Universe Master, one must not only comprehend the Origin Law of Time, but also perfectly integrate these two Origin Law in order to Control of Space-Time, which is the realm of the Universe Master.
This is similar to the Path of the Beast God.
Xu Qing was wrong. Once you understand the two Origin Law of time and space, you are the Universe Master and do not need to merge further.
Only by perfectly fusing the Eight Beast God Paths can one become the Universe Master.
"So I've been misunderstanding for so long?" Xu Qing stared in disbelief as his Clone, Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui, were engulfed by the endless Origin of Laws.
The divine body, spanning over 96,000 kilometers, continued its transformation, evolving from Immortal Spirit to Universe Venerable being, resulting in a significant increase in the quality of its Immortal Divine Power.
Aside from breaking through from the World Lord level to the Immortal Level, where one can fully absorb divine power to perfectly transform their divine body, the time required to absorb divine power is relatively short when breaking through from the Immortal Level to the Universe Venerable level, and from the Universe Venerable level to the Universe Master level.
However, since both the Clone Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui, broke through directly from the Immortal Level to the level of the Universe Master, the time of their two breakthroughs would overlap.
This means that both of them will have more time to transform their divine bodies into divine bodies at the level of the Universe Master.
Over time, the entire process lasted for about half an hour, which is quite long. During this time, the Divine Kingdom also completed its expansion and transformation.
The Origin of Laws disappeared, and all the strange phenomena vanished.
This means that the breakthroughs of the Clone, Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui, have come to an end.
The two beings' Perfect Divine Body stood between Heaven and Earth, emanating an extremely terrifying aura that affected the surrounding space and time.
The mere aura emanating from it has created such a spectacle; one can only imagine how terrifying the Universe Master must be.
"The transformation of my divine body is 88% complete, which is quite good. After all, I have Perfect Divine Body, and I have transformed to the level of the Universe Master," Xu Qing felt the changes that the breakthrough of his Clone brought to his soul.
His Soul Will also broke through along with the breakthrough of his Clone, entering the level of the Universe Master.
Now, Xu Qing could probably intimidate some Universe Venerable just by looking at them.
In addition, his Innate Secret Technique, the Mind's Eye Universe, has also advanced, greatly increasing the distance he can see to tens of millions of light-years.
This is the Mind's Mind's Eye Universe at the level of the Universe Master, like the Thousand-Mile Eye in myths and legends, able to see the distant Heaven and Earth, no matter how far away it is, it has no effect.
"My Innate Secret Technique, Mind's Eye Universe, seems to have only just entered its Growth Stage, and still has unlimited potential," Xu Qing could sense this.
The more powerful this Innate Secret Technique is, the greater its help to Xu Qing will be, and the stronger his Arrow Path will become, allowing him to grow indefinitely.
"He broke through from the Immortal Level to the Universe Master level in one go, skipping directly to the Universe Venerable. I wonder if there is a second person like him in the universe," Xu Qing said, stroking his chin.
It is estimated that his situation is unique throughout history.
"From now on, I can confidently roam the universe. The only problem is that I don't have any supreme Supreme Treasure, which will put me at a disadvantage in direct combat. However, my understanding of the Origin Law is quite profound, so I'm not afraid."
"Moreover, the Clone is also Perfect Gene life form, which is definitely superior to many Universe Master. Its specific combat power still needs to be verified through actual combat, but I have a feeling it will be very strong," Xu Qing pondered.
Soon, Xu Qing thought of the Cold Whale. He had originally planned to capture it as a mount after his breakthrough, which would be a good opportunity to test the combat power of his Clone.
Isn't that Cold Whale something only Universe Master can contend with? Let's give it a try.
Hundreds of thousands of light-years away, in the pool beneath the Nine-Colored Waterfall, the Cold Whale suddenly opened its eyes, a shiver running through its heart.
"Strange, why am I suddenly feeling restless, as if something bad is about to happen?" thought the nine-colored Cold Whale.
The last time was a thousand years ago. It suddenly shivered, but it thought it was just its imagination and didn't pay any attention to it.
But now, it has that feeling again, and it's very strong.
"What exactly happened?" The Nine-Colored Cold Whale was completely baffled.
Suddenly, two figures appeared beside the Nine-Colored Waterfall; they were Xu Qing's Clone Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui.
The oppressive aura of the Universe Master was unleashed, causing this entire space-time to freeze.
"Who?" The Nine-Colored Cold Whale shuddered, its massive body surfacing as it looked toward the direction from which the terrifying aura emanated.
Two identical Universe Master stared at him, their colorful pupils unfathomably deep, like vortex gates threatening to suck his soul in.
"Universe Master! And two of them, twins?! No, they should be the original and Clone!" The Nine-Colored Cold Whale was shocked.
Even more deadly was the aura emanating from these two Universe Master, which made its hair stand on end, as if these were two peerless ferocious beasts.
"They are not ordinary Universe Master; they are at least top-tier Universe Master," the Nine-Colored Cold Whale thought with trepidation.
Although its combat power is not bad, it can only deal with ordinary Universe Master. It is definitely no match for top-tier Universe Master.
"How could two top-tier Universe Master suddenly appear? As far as I know, the Ancestral God Sect wouldn't let Universe Master into this place; at most, they would only let Universe Venerable in," the Nine-Colored Cold Whale couldn't understand.
Moreover, the way it looked at these two Universe Master was clearly directed at it.
"Could they be trying to hunt me down?" The Nine-Colored Cold Whale's heart tightened. Two top-tier Universe Master could easily devour it, let alone kill it.
"Cold Whale, I need a mount," Xiao Lv said with a smile, looking at the wary Nine-Colored Cold Whale.
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Colored Cold Whale's expression changed drastically. "I, the Cold Whale, will never become someone else's mount, even if you are top-tier Universe Master."
"Refuse? There's nothing I can do then. I'll just kill you first, then refine your corpse into a puppet, and then integrate it with intelligent life. It makes no difference," the Clone Xiao Hui said calmly.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I don't think it's a good idea if it agrees. Puppets are more obedient and easier to manage," Xiao Lv nodded, looking like she was in agreement.
The Nine-Colored Cold Whale felt a chill run down its spine. "No, can't you at least try a little harder? How can you do business like this?"
It hadn't expected its answer to play right into the other party's hands. The other party seemed to prefer killing it directly and turning its body into a puppet rather than subduing it.
Roar!
In the instant the Nine-Colored Cold Whale was stunned, a series of earth-shattering roars rang out, startling the Nine-Colored Cold Whale.
Looking over, it saw several strange, ferocious beasts appearing in the void, each over 90,000 kilometers in size, their entire bodies constructed from Law Secret Patterns. The intricate Law Secret Patterns intertwined and merged in a very profound way.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Qilin, four divine beasts, seemed to be living beings, exuding an astonishing aura.
"What the hell?! Their aura has reached the level of Universe Master!" The Nine-Colored Cold Whale turned pale with fright.
These four creatures, whose bodies were entirely constructed from Law Secret Patterns, all exuded an aura of power at the level of top-tier Universe Master, which was simply unbelievable.
"How can there be such terrifying mastery of the Origin Law? The fusion of laws, such a secret technique, must have reached the ultimate level." The Nine-Colored Cold Whale looked at the four law-based creatures staring at it, as if they were staring at prey. Their condescending and indifferent gazes made it feel cold.
The most terrifying thing was that it discovered these creatures were all involved in the fusion of laws, and at a very high level.
Such mastery of the fusion of Origin Law surpasses even the level of the Guardian Beast God within the Ancestral God Sect, making it comparable to a true Beast God.
"Go ahead and play with Cold Whale," Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui waved.
The two of them each unleashed two Divine Aspect, which should be enough to suppress the Nine-Colored Cold Whale.
Roar!
All four Divine Aspect lunged at the Nine-Colored Cold Whale in the nine-colored pool.
The Nine-Colored Cold Whale was both shocked and furious, and could only fight back desperately. Facing this creature with the fusion of four laws, it had no confidence or hope of victory.
But it didn't want to die either. To have its corpse used to make puppets after it died was too cruel.
