While Luo Ao Flame God Clone was training in the Universe Ocean, his Mirror Prism Clone actually gained even more, and had slowly begun to come into contact with the precious cultivation inheritance of the ' Mirror King Lineage '.
Inside the main hall on the first floor of the Mirror King Tower.
Above the Mirror King Stone, a blue-armored knight who looked like a virtual image with an indistinct face suddenly appeared and looked at Luo Ao, speaking directly to him.
Although it was a language he had never heard before, it allowed Luo Ao to quickly understand the meaning behind the other person's words.
"Congratulations, successor. You have successfully completed the preliminary training process of the ' Dragon Transformation Technique ' of my Mirror King Lineage. Next, you will come into contact with the Basic Inheritance and some Core Inheritance of my Mirror King Lineage. I hope you can become the true successor of my Mirror King Lineage."
Before he mastered the ' Dragon Transformation Technique,' he was guided by a basic program similar to a low-level intelligence. However, at the moment when his Mirror Prism Clone successfully transformed into the ' Nine Images General,' this blue armored knight, who resembled an intelligent life form, suddenly appeared from the Mirror King Stone.
"It seems that this ' Dragon Transformation Technique ' alone has already filtered out many inheritors." Seeing this new guide appear, Luo Ao knew that the " Dragon Transformation Technique " was not something everyone could learn.
And that is indeed the case. Even on the Origin Continent, where geniuses are as numerous as fish in a river, there are very few geniuses who can perfectly match the affinity and successfully master the basic chapter of the ' Mirror King Nine Lineages ', the ' Dragon Transformation Technique '.
Of course, the Origin Continent contains even more treasures and more exceptional geniuses, some of whom can meet the prerequisites for inheritance even without practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique. However, at least within the current Universe Ocean, only those who have mastered the Dragon Transformation Technique are qualified to receive the inheritance.
"The legacy I will pass on to you next is divided into two parts. The first part is the more general Basic Inheritance, and the second part is the ' Nine Images Chapter ' from the Core Inheritance of my ' Mirror King Lineage '."
The blue-armored knight continued, "However, before you become a ' Black-Robed Disciple,' all the inheritances are forbidden to be revealed."
Although the guide didn't specify the consequences of leaking the information, Luo Ao didn't intend to try and break the rules. Even though his Mirror Prism Clone ( Nine Images Clone ) didn't even have a soul, and theoretically shouldn't be afraid of any punishment, he still wouldn't gamble.
Since the other party dared to distribute the inheritance to him in this way, there must be corresponding countermeasures.
" Black-Robed Disciple? I wonder how much weight this Black-Robed Disciple carries within the ' Mirror King Lineage '?" Based on the guide's words, this ' Black-Robed Disciple ' should at least be able to freely pass on those ' Basic Inheritance '.
Soon, the Mirror King Stone once again transmitted a massive amount of information to him.
The sheer volume and density of information was quite astounding.
"Gun techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, staff techniques, movement techniques, Soul Attack techniques, illusion techniques, treasure refining techniques, apothecary secrets, beast taming techniques..." All sorts of inherited information almost instantly filled Luo Ao's memory space.
"These inheritances are too abundant!" Luo Ao was completely shocked after only slightly examining a few of them.
Take the spear technique lineage he examined first as an example. It contained a series of very detailed spear technique manuals, ranging from the level of a Universe Venerable, and then gradually delving into the mysteries of the spear, all the way to the level of the Universe Supreme Master!
Moreover, each of these spear technique manuals is based on a different perspective. Some manuals are based on the Fire-Space Law, some on the Water-Space Law, some on the Earth-Space Law, and some even combine the three most basic Laws Metal, Water, and Earth into a single spear technique.
There are even some gun technique manuals that combine fire and time; all sorts of gun techniques cannot be combined Laws.
Just examining all 720 different spear techniques manuals left Luo Ao somewhat bewildered, his mind seemingly sluggish. It should be noted that each manual contained a massive amount of information; even with Luo Ao's divine strength and willpower, it took him three or four days to finish reading only the very first 'spear technique'.
"Behind this are the inheritances of 'sword techniques,' 'staff techniques,' 'fist techniques,' and 'axe techniques,' each of which points directly to the ultimate level ( Tenth Order ) of the Universe Supreme Master."
"As expected of God King Level inheritance, it's truly profound." Even though Luo Ao had anticipated this, he was still shocked. "So many powerful guiding inheritances are all listed as ' Basic Inheritance '."
What does it mean that these things are listed as ' Basic Inheritance '? It means that these are things that are not valued by the ' Mirror King Lineage '.
"Every gun technique manual is aimed at the level of the Universe Supreme Master, and they all progress from simple to complex. Moreover, each set of gun techniques can be mastered to the limit of the Universe Supreme Master." Luo Ao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Of the Universe Supreme Master of the current Universe Ocean, apart from the Original Ancestor, none have truly reached the pinnacle of Universe Supreme Master.
The Original Ancestor's success was due to his own extraordinary talent, but when it came to guiding the Giant Axe Master or other disciples to take their skills to the next level, he could only offer some basic advice from a high-level perspective; he couldn't truly guide them to become stronger.
These 720 sets of secret manuals, which directly point to the level of the Universe Supreme Master, can directly guide a cultivator step by step from the Universe Venerable to the limit of the Universe Supreme Master!
Such a legacy, if placed in the outside world, would likely drive all the major powers except for the Two Great Holy Lands completely mad.
"It's a pity I can't spread this around right now, otherwise my Human Race could probably produce quite a few of the Universe Supreme Master in a short time." Luo Ao felt a little regretful, and then focused his attention on the most core " Nine Images Chapter ".
"The Nine Images Chapter is because I chose the ' Nine Images General,' so it is called the ' Nine Images Chapter. ' It seems that the Core Inheritance should have a total of nine parts." If he had chosen the ' Myriad Transformation Envoy ' back then, perhaps he would be learning the ' Myriad Transformation Chapter ' now.
"The Nine Images Chapter is the true Core Inheritance of my Mirror King Lineage. Even among God King Level inheritances, it belongs to an extremely special type... The most core inheritance of my Mirror King Lineage is actually a 'dual cultivation' path, requiring the simultaneous cultivation of two cultivation systems."
"Firstly, there's the Bloodline Cultivation System; secondly, there's the Cosmic Rules Cultivation System..."
"All cultivation systems were created by pioneers. Different systems ultimately lead to the same destination. It's perfectly normal for strong individuals to learn from and draw upon the experiences of other cultivation systems."
"Some cultivation systems, even when mastered to their peak, cannot lead to the very top. Those who cultivate such systems must choose to cultivate other systems to compensate for their weaknesses if they wish to advance further."
"Among all cultivation systems, the Cosmic Rules System is one of the most advanced, especially in its later stages, where its power becomes extremely formidable. However, this path still has various flaws..."
"A flaw?" Luo Ao remained noncommittal, continuing to read the description in the inheritance information.
" The Cosmic Rules System consumes the fewest external resources of all cultivation systems, but its requirements for the cultivator's comprehension are extremely strict. Those lacking comprehension may be completely trapped at some point in the future, forever unable to make any progress..."
The Cosmic Rules System is indeed one of the strongest cultivation systems, and it is also the most mainstream cultivation system even in the Origin Continent. However, this system does have very high requirements for the 'aptitude' of cultivators.
" The Bloodline Cultivation System is a cultivation system that makes it easier to break through to higher levels compared to the Cosmic Rules Cultivation System. It doesn't place as much emphasis on the cultivator's comprehension. However, this system also has a major drawback: it's very difficult to reach the Progenitor level..."
The Bloodline Cultivation System relies on resources and the development of one's bloodline to improve strength, even for those with poor comprehension. However, regardless of the type of bloodline inherited, it is difficult to reach the level of the bloodline Progenitor, let alone surpass Progenitor.
If one only cultivates the ' Bloodline Cultivation System ', it is almost impossible to break through the shackles and reach a level that surpasses the ' Progenitor '.
"The great Mirror King, in his youth, made several close friends. Recognizing that both cultivation systems had their own strengths and weaknesses, they decided to combine their advantages to create a more rational path of cultivation..."
"Learn from others' strengths and make up for your own weaknesses, and create a new path?" Luo Ao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this ' Mirror King ' was not simple either, and his strength might even be above that of the Sitting Mountain Guest.
"The new cultivation paths are also divided into two categories. One is based on the Bloodline Cultivation System, and the other is based on the Cosmic Rules Cultivation System."
"Our Mirror King Lineage primarily Cosmic Rules Cultivation System, but achievements in the Bloodline Cultivation System are equally crucial."
That concludes the introduction, which also gave Luo Ao a general understanding of the ' Mirror King's' cultivation philosophy.
"Becoming a ' Black-Robed Disciple ' is quite simple. I only need to cultivate any one of the secret techniques in the ' Nine Images Chapter ' to the sixth level to meet the requirement." Learning or creating a Sixth-Order Secret Technique might be an extremely difficult task for others, but for him, who has just received a massive amount of inheritance, it is not as difficult as he imagined.
"The Nine Images Chapter, so that's how it is..." Most of the secret manuals in the Nine Images Chapter are actually intricately connected with the previous basic secret techniques.
Adhering to the cultivation philosophy of this ' Mirror King ', the so-called " Nine Images Chapter " is actually a combination of the ' Nine Images General's ' own innate abilities to assist in cultivating the Cosmic Rules System.
For example, a certain secret technique originally required the mind to be used in nine different ways, and placed high demands on the cultivator's will and soul. However, because the ' Nine Images General ' already had nine bodies, he was able to learn it much more easily.
"If I had chosen the ' Illusion Divine Beast ' to transform into a dragon, I might have needed to combine the talent of the Phantom Beast God with a sixth-tier illusion technique. Fortunately, the ' Nine Images General ' I chose isn't that obscure." Having nine clones is actually quite advantageous.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the several clones are connected in spirit and mind allows them to unleash many powerful formations for combat. And the secret techniques used to cultivate certain special Cosmic Rules System will also be much easier.
"Based on the experiences of predecessors in the ' Nine Images Chapter,' these types of secret techniques are all quite suitable for my existence."
" Eight Dragon Sword Technique ", " Five-Direction Thunder God ", " Three Absolutes Fist Canon ", " Nine Illusions Without a Trace "...
"These secret techniques all rely on the innate abilities of the ' Nine Images General ' to further advance in the Cosmic Rules System, while also leveraging the advantage of having nine avatars to unleash even more astonishing combat power!"
The Mirror King Inheritance, though seemingly complex, is actually a very clear and straightforward path.
Its main purpose is to combine the two major cultivation systems and learn from each other's strengths.
Overall, it leans more towards the Cosmic Rules System. However, it subtly reduces the difficulty of cultivation, and at the same time, it can unleash stronger combat power when mastering the same level of Cosmic Rules.
These two points Pingping unremarkable at first glance, but they are actually quite ingenious.
Just like the Special Lifeform in the Primal Universe who are smaller than gods and have lower Life Gene Level, when they master the same level of Laws and secret techniques, the former can often exert greater combat power by relying on their life gene advantages and innate abilities, and can even easily fight enemies of higher levels.
" The Cosmic Rules Cultivation System is more sophisticated in its methods, but all of these methods rely on the rules that one has come to understand; there are no additional innate abilities."
" Bloodline Cultivation System often possess unique and rare talents, giving them a greater advantage in basic strength. However, their abilities primarily rely on the characteristics of their bloodline, making their methods too simplistic. Compared to those strong within the Cosmic Rules System, they sometimes appear rather foolish."
" Mirror King, being able to combine two cultivation systems, is indeed no simple character." At this moment, Luo Ao also felt a sense of reverence for this Mirror King whom he had never met.
In fact, simply combining the two major cultivation systems is not a big deal. Many powerful individuals follow the path of "simultaneous cultivation." The key is whether a systematic lineage can be formed.
Without a doubt, the Mirror King succeeded, and he traversed all nine paths, making him a terrifyingly powerful figure, nearly invincible, among those of the same level.
"However, according to the Mirror King Inheritance's legacy, after breaking through to True God, I am to return to my original form as the ' Nine Images General,' which is a bit troublesome." Luo Ao knew that once he became True God, he would truly return to his original form, like an infant returning to his true, original life.
If it is a life form of flesh and blood, it will remain a life form of flesh and blood; if it is Metal Lifeform, it will remain Metal Lifeform.
He has now transformed into the ' Nine Images General ' using the Dragon Transformation Technique, and theoretically belongs to the Special Lifeform of the ' Nine Images General '. However, the ' Nine Images General ' is only one of his clones, and the clones will eventually merge into one, leaving only one original body.
"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes." Actually, he personally appreciated the cultivation philosophy of the ' Mirror King Inheritance,' but he was also somewhat reluctant to part with his other clones.
