Outside the Star Ruins, a dilapidated palace stands.
After returning from the Inner Domain of the Star Ruins, Lu Qingshan's Xue You Clone has been in seclusion ever since. The palace gates remain tightly shut, preventing any outsiders from prying into his life.
Deep within the palace, Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged, with the dark golden scroll floating before him.
Only after returning from the Star Ruins did he have time to carefully study the contents of the golden scroll.
You don't know until you investigate, and once you do, you discover that this thing is really not simple.
"This is the Bloodline Evolution method of Ancient Civilization..."
He had only glanced at the scroll briefly before and found nothing, but now, upon closer examination, he discovered that the contents of the scroll were extremely exquisite.
The secret method of recording on scrolls is quite simple.
By implanting and absorbing the essence of a powerful person's bloodline, one can enhance the potential of their own bloodline.
This method is not common even in Ancient Civilization, and it can be considered a shortcut for cultivators who are born with ordinary bloodlines and limited talents.
"Implanting the essence of a powerful person's bloodline to enhance one's own bloodline..."
Lu Qingshan studied it carefully. Time passed by, second by second, and in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years had passed.
Lu Qingshan discovered that this secret technique and the Divine Power Flow School had some similarities.
However, the Divine Power Flow School focuses on the essential improvement at the genetic level, while Bloodline Evolution focuses more on the activation and inheritance at the bloodline level.
He became increasingly engrossed in reading it, and many concepts that had seemed vague in " The Origin of Life " became clearer when compared to this scroll.
"If I could materialize the method of Bloodline Evolution, it would greatly help my research on the Divine Power Flow School!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
Luo Feng follows the Divine Power Flow School, with the Nine Nether Blood Sea Clone creation talent as an aid, which allows him to directly create races and optimize their genes, thus gradually perfecting his theory.
Lu Qingshan didn't have the necessary conditions, but the appearance of this ancient secret technique excited Lu Qingshan somewhat. He couldn't create life for the time being, but he had no problem making life evolve.
He immediately decided to conduct an experiment.
Within the Primal Universe, in the Divine Kingdom.
The figure of the Perfect Cloud-Touching Vine quietly appeared. It was one of the Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Vine Cloud-Touching Vine that Lu Qingshan had cultivated in his early years. Its strength had already reached the Pinnacle King Rank. However, due to the Cloud-Touching Vine's talent, the King Rank level was its limit and it could not go any further. After Lu Qingshan broke through to the Universe Venerable, plant life had no use for him, so Lu Qingshan did not bring it with him.
"Owner..."
Cloud-Touching Vine was still very excited to see Lu Qingshan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
" Cloud-Touching Vine, would you like to improve your strength again?" Lu Qingshan looked at the plant and asked gently.
"To increase my strength? Is Master going to bestow upon me a treasure? I don't have many treasures that I can use," Cloud-Touching Vine said nervously.
As a plant life form, it cannot cultivate secret techniques, its Law Comprehension is only a gift from the Primal Universe, and it has very few treasures to use.
The tendrils of the Cloud-Touching Vine trembled slightly, as if expressing gratitude, yet also as if somewhat apprehensive.
"No... I intend to elevate you to the Universe Venerable level."
Lu Qingshan shook his head and said.
Elevate to the level of Universe Venerable?
Although the Cloud-Touching Vine is not very intelligent, it knows its own limits. Since the birth of the Primal Universe, no Cloud-Touching Vine of the Universe Venerable level has ever appeared.
But it also completely trusted its master, whose strength was beyond its comprehension. "Is there danger?"
Cloud-Touching Vine asked cautiously.
Lu Qingshan looked at this guy speechlessly. He knew from the beginning that Cloud-Touching Vine was very cautious, but he didn't expect that when faced with the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable, the first thing he asked was whether there was any danger.
Seeing that its master did not answer, Cloud-Touching Vine thought its master was angry, and cautiously asked, "Master, what is the probability of success?"
"About 20%!"
Lu Qingshan was amused by the timid Cloud-Touching Vine.
He casually mentioned a probability.
Twenty percent is actually quite high. You have to understand that even those at the Peak King have less than a 0.5 percent chance of breaking through to the Universe Venerable in their lifetime. If a Peak King had a 20 percent chance of breaking through, they would probably be laughing in their dreams.
"Twenty percent... twenty percent..." Cloud-Touching Vine murmured these two words to himself, feeling extremely uneasy. "Master said there's a twenty percent chance of success, which means there's an eighty percent chance. I wonder if I'll perish after failing this breakthrough?"
"You don't need to worry..."
Lu Qingshan guessed what Cloud-Touching Vine was thinking and couldn't help but shake his head.
"How could I harm you? Even if it fails, it will benefit your cultivation and prevent your demise; even if you do perish, I can revive you. Now you can rest assured!" "Master... I completely trust you."
The branches and leaves of the Cloud-Touching Vine swayed.
Seeing that it agreed, Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more, and took out a drop of dark golden blood.
This is a drop of True God's Blood that was once returned to him; it is life essence at the Perfect Gene Level. When Lu Qingshan was researching the Perfect Gene map, it still had some effect, but now that he has stepped into the first level of the Divine Power Flow School, this True God's Blood has no effect at all, so he took it out as a test subject.
Although True God Level life form isn't considered high, it's still incredibly powerful compared to the Cloud-Touching Vine, whose strongest power is only at the King Level.
If it absorbs the bloodline of True God, although Cloud-Touching Vine may not be able to break through to the True God Level and break the limitation of Universe Venerable, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Lu Qingshan naturally possesses higher-level natal blood essence, even those at the Eternal Level, but for experimental purposes, using lower-level natal blood essence will increase the probability of success.
"Integration."
He injected that drop of True God's Blood into the core of the Cloud-Touching Vine.
The moment the dark golden blood touched the vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine, it quickly seeped in, like water droplets merging into the ocean.
"Keep your mind calm," Lu Qingshan said calmly. "I will help you guide that power; do not resist it."
Although resistance was ineffective, Lu Qingshan still offered a reminder. The Cloud-Touching Vine gradually stabilized amidst the tremors.
Then Lu Qingshan began to conduct the experiment according to the methods passed down in the tradition...
The experiment naturally couldn't succeed on the first try; problems arose several times in a row, and Cloud-Touching Vine was tormented to the point of near death. However, driven by the instinct for survival, it persevered. Finally, after nearly a hundred experiments, Lu Qingshan managed to perfectly fuse the life genes of that drop of True God's Blood with Cloud-Touching Vine.
"Success!"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly. The main reason he succeeded so quickly was that the Cloud-Touching Vine and the True God Bloodline were both too low-level.
The Cloud-Touching Vine is now asleep.
In this process,
Its aura began to rise.
He rose from the Peak King, breaking through the barrier of the Universe Venerable, and easily shattered the obstacles.
"Boom!!!"
A dark green light burst forth from the Cloud-Touching Vine, causing its tendrils to grow wildly, extending millions of kilometers outward. The tendrils shimmered with a dark golden luster, and each tendril was more than a hundred times stronger than before.
Universe Venerable! Cloud-Touching Vine has broken through to the Universe Venerable!
"Call..."
Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
During this process, he could clearly feel that the essence of the Cloud-Touching Vine's life had undergone a qualitative change.
It can be said that the current potential of Cloud-Touching Vine has been dramatically increased.
More importantly, this experiment deepened his understanding of Bloodline Evolution.
"It seems this path is feasible."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
While creating life would be better, his current methods can serve as an alternative, allowing him to progress faster and further on the path of cultivating Divine Power Flow School.
The Cloud-Touching Vine is still asleep.
Once it awakens, it will become a true Universe Venerable, and the Sea of Laws will likely descend upon it.
"Try again." Lu Qingshan still had a few drops of True God's Blood left.
There's no need to be stingy with this.
Even if he runs out, he can borrow a few drops from the Divine Eye Clan; they probably won't refuse.
Lu Qingshan arrived in the Divine Kingdom of the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
The strength of the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass is also the Pinnacle King Rank... Like the Perfect Cloud-Touching Vine, it is limited by the defects of plant life, and this is the limit of its growth.
The limit has been reached; no matter how many more resources are provided, it cannot break through; its genes have been locked.
The Divine Kingdom of the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass is vast, comparable to the Divine Kingdom of some human Universe Venerable. Within the Divine Kingdom, countless planets shine with brilliance.
There are Star Level and planets, and these planets mostly revolve in the void of the Divine Kingdom, resembling a vast galaxy.
Within the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass Divine Kingdom, many descendants of those originally from Maple Leaf Star still reside. Accustomed to the peaceful life here, they have chosen not to leave despite several attempts, and their numbers have long since become incalculable. At this moment, many humans live on the land of the Divine Kingdom and on the planets in the void.
The Star-Eating Grass knew that these were all descendants of its master, and it did its best to provide them with good living conditions.
There were no natural disasters, no calamities.
Over the years, he has been creating planets by hand; the entire galaxy above the void was created by him alone. "Master."
The Star-Eating Grass had only rubbed half of the planet in its hand when it saw Lu Qingshan arrive. It was a planet with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers.
" Xiao Jin, do you want to break through to the Universe Venerable level?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Master, how can I break through?"
Xiao Jin was a little confused.
Over the years, it has never ventured out, remaining solely within the Divine Kingdom. Its intelligence is relatively low, even inferior to that of the Cloud-Touching Vine.
"I have a way, you just need to tell me if you're willing."
"Willing."
Xiao Jin answered without any hesitation.
"Okay, put down what you're doing and do as I ask..."
Lu Qingshan took out another drop of True God's Blood. A hundred years later, the aura of the Star-Eating Grass had also changed. Although it had fallen into a deep sleep, its aura was already at the Universe Venerable level. Lu Qingshan knew that the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass had also broken through its limitations.
The Sea of Laws began to brew.
The terrifying Sea of Laws was no less impressive than the breakthrough of a Special Lifeform form into Universe Venerable being.
The Star-Eating Grass also awoke from its slumber, spreading its vines and absorbing the divine power within the Sea of Laws.
His vines also began to grow wildly, 1000 vines, 2000 vines... Each vine, once it grew, quickly absorbed the divine power in the Sea of Laws, growing wildly and becoming exactly the same as the original vines.
In the end, the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass transformed into the Ten-Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
The size of the Star-Eating Grass has increased more than a hundredfold.
Lu Qingshan could sense that once the Star-Eating Grass broke through, it would probably have the strength of Intermediate Universe Venerable.
The main problem is the lack of Combat Secret Technique, making it difficult to use Supreme Treasure. Although their Law Comprehension has improved and their physique is enormous, relying solely on their entanglement and Strangulation techniques makes it difficult for them to pose any threat to Universe Venerable of the same level.
However, Lu Qingshan didn't expect the Star-Eating Grass to be very strong in combat.
Plant life no longer serves any purpose for him; elevating it stems from both his past feelings and his research into the Divine Power Flow School.
He had completely recorded the evolution of the Star-Eating Grass. The Cloud-Touching Vine in the Divine Kingdom had also awakened, and its size had increased by more than a hundred times, from 360 vines to 3600 vines. If Lu Qingshan were to release these two plant life forms now, it would probably terrify a large number of powerful individuals.
