The Strange Gems on the Cloud Raising Mirror (2.5k)
Initial.
Obtaining the qualification of Void True God Level Cloud Nurture was something Chen Yi had not expected.
In terms of realm, Chen Yi is now the Universe Master, while the Void True God is two realms higher than him. Before that, the highest level of Cloud Nourishing qualification that had ever appeared was one realm higher than his.
Another point worth mentioning is...
Long ago, Chen Yi had envisioned a possibility: using high-level cloud cultivation qualifications to nurture some weak geniuses.
Because it is weak, it also means that high-star targets are easier to achieve.
For example, if you bind to a Planetary Level, then becoming Star Level target, or killing some Star Level enemies, might make you a five-star target.
Chen Yi's plan was to acquire more Cloud Nurturing qualifications through this method, but the practice over the past eight million years has further confirmed one thing for Chen Yi: the higher the cultivation level of the Cloud Nurturing subject, the more likely they are to receive Cloud Nurturing qualification rewards upon completing Cloud Nurturing goals.
He also tried once.
They secretly nurtured a Planetary Level Human Race, but through his guidance and assistance in achieving various goals, they eventually discovered...
If the target's cultivation level is much lower than his own, then... the probability will be extremely low, even almost zero. He helped that genius guide him through dozens of five-star targets, but he didn't see a single spot. In other words, this method of exploiting a bug is impossible.
That genius is currently only a World Lord with the potential for Undying, thus wasting a potential cloud-nurture qualification that could bind him to Universe Master.
But...
Over these eight million years, Chen Yi has had sixteen more cloud-nurtured subjects, most of whom are Universe Master. Among the True God Level, the Giant Axe Founder is already one of his cloud-nurtured subjects, and there is another True God Level subject Chen Yi originally intended to nurture, Master Sitting Mountain Guest.
He wanted to choose when he first received the True God Level qualification.
He felt that if he and Luo Feng performed well, they should be able to achieve some of the three-star and four-star goals of the Sitting Mountain Guest.
For example, mastering techniques like "the Lie Yuan Technique".
Moreover, the Sitting Mountain Guest undoubtedly possesses numerous treasures. The vast array of secret techniques and methods within his mind alone are worth extracting. Even a single secret technique at the God King Level would be more powerful than any True God Level in the Universe Ocean.
But...
The Cloud Raising Mirror cannot be bound to Sitting Mountain Guest. In the Cloud Raising Mirror, the Sitting Mountain Guest is judged as God King," not True God. True God Level Cloud Nourishing qualifications are not sufficient for binding.
In other words, there will be no way to exploit the bug in the reincarnation technique in the future to bind a powerful individual at a high level.
Therefore, for the other True God Level Cloud Cultivation qualification, he chose the Skeleton Race's Bone-Splitting Demon Master.
The Skeleton Race, including the Skeleton Master, has four Demon Lords, who are the four Universe Supreme Masters. Currently, the Skeleton Master, the most powerful being, is in his hands.
The other three demon lords of the Skeleton Race were also forced to obey him.
This is because the other three Demon Lords are far weaker than the Skeleton Master, making it impossible for them to transcend or continue fighting against the Human Race.
Under the orders of the Skeleton Master, submitting to the Human Race... might even bring some benefits.
Within these eight million years.
The Skeleton Race essentially serves as his henchmen in the Universe Ocean. As long as the Skeleton Master holds them in his hands, the Skeleton Race raised by Yun are currently in charge, disciples of the Skeleton Master, and also the most loyal demon lords to him.
"Bone-Splitting Demon Master"
He was then bound to Chen Yi as a virtual partner.
Nowadays... almost all of Human Race's more promising Universe Master are his virtual protégés.
Year after year has passed.
Chen Yi looked at the Cloud Raising Mirror. Just now, his Cloud Nourishing object, Lord Peng Gong, had "found the path to becoming True God in terms of laws."
A four-star goal has been achieved.
Having obtained the qualification of a True God Level Cloud Nurture, Chen Yi thought for a moment and then chose to bind himself to another Demon Lord of the Skeleton Race, whose will and consciousness information he had already collected.
And at this very moment.
Another bright yellow gem has appeared on the Cloud Raising Mirror... Currently, the border of the Cloud Raising Mirror has three gems: "Cloud Nourishing Giant Axe", "Cloud Nourishing Bone-Splitting Demon Master", and the one that appeared this time when it was bound to a new True God Level Cloud Nourishing qualification.
Binding to True God Level seems to cause some changes to the Cloud Raising Mirror.
The current arrangement resembles a clock, displaying the hour numbers and neatly dividing the frame into twelve sections. The three currently positioned represent the twelve o'clock, one o'clock, and two o'clock positions.
"Judging by their locations, that means... there could very well be a total of twelve gems."
"It's very likely that I'll need twelve True God Level virtual companions. I should wait until they reach the True God Level; that would be fine too."
"True God Level Cloud Cultivation qualification costs one gem. So, what about Void True God Level Cloud Cultivation qualification?"
"And what would happen if all twelve gems were lit?"
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."
"Once we collect all the gems, we'll find out what really happens—"
Chen Yi prepared to return to his Cloud Mirror Sea to begin his cultivation.
Cloud Mirror Sea.
Previously, within the Human Race, there were only elementary, intermediate, and advanced civilizations. The advanced civilization was the Universe Country.
Above that are the five major Human Race powers.
Today... the Human Territory is several times larger than it used to be, encompassing the Human Race of all Four Peak Races, and they continue to expand outwards.
Yes.
All Three Great Peak Races have surrendered.
All the races in the Universe Ocean have already submitted; within the Primal Universe, there is practically no room for any of them to rise again.
Surrender early, and you might even be able to secure a good position.
To facilitate the management of their vast territory, the Human Race has established a higher-level "Special-Class Civilization Country," namely, Special-Class Universe Country.
The rulers of the nation are unified as the Universe Master. Currently, there are only ten such rulers, roughly located in ten scattered regions within the vast territory of the Human Race.
Cloud Mirror Sea is located at:
"The Ganwu Special-Class Universe Country!"
Its territory encompassed twenty-three star sectors, including the former Ganwu Universe Country, meaning it occupied the lands of those twenty-three former Universe Country.
The six core star sectors are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ganwu Special-Class Universe Country.
The rest belong to ordinary Universe Country and are subject to the command of Ganwu Special-Class Universe Country.
Milky Way Galaxy.
The vast starry sea, the entire galaxy is different from the ordinary universe, exuding a mysterious aura. The powerful beings living in the Cloud Mirror Sea all know that the "Cloud Mirror Master" has Clone in this entire starry sky.
At the very center lies a continent, upon which stand diverse mountain and sea landscapes, and numerous star-studded palaces.
This vast, man-made continent... is the Cloud Mirror Sea!
This is the Divine Kingdom Teleportation channel connecting the Giant Axe Miniature Universe and the Initial Universe, a vital hub for the Human Race.
Chen Yi's human Clone returned here through the teleportation channel.
"Continue the research on the Divine Power Path. If I can break through to the third level, then... all that's left is to research capturing World Beast and make the final breakthrough." Chen Yi closed his eyes and began his research, also waiting for the appearance of the Jin World.
Below the Starry Sea Palace complex lies a vast ocean, brimming with divine power. Numerous biological materials are being analyzed here, and Chen Yi is using the extracted Life Gestation essence to study a three-dimensional diagram.
Years have passed.
Chen Yi had already notified his forces in the Universe Ocean to keep an eye on any movements Universe Ocean. In reality, he was arranging for people to pay close attention to the arrival of the corpse of the God King of Jin.
In addition...
He also arranged for his general, Luo Feng, to have a Clone stationed in the Universe Ocean to oversee the situation.
In terms of time...
At this point, they were very close to the Jin World. If the Will of the Original Universe proceeded as planned, the corpse of the God King of Jin, Master Sitting Mountain Guest, could arrive at any time.
Until one day...
Chen Yi heard the intelligence coming from the Universe Ocean: a colossal humanoid creature had appeared deep within the Universe Ocean.
He opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling with excitement.
Just a moment.
Luo Feng's Clone also quickly arrived at the palace deep within the Cloud Mirror Sea, at which point Luo Feng stated directly, "The Jin World has arrived."
"Yes, I received the message, it's finally here!"
Chen Yi could not hide his excitement.
After obtaining the qualification of Void True God Yun Yang, he had been looking forward to this day. The other two Void True God in the Cosmic Universe Ocean, "Purple Moon" and "East Emperor", were difficult to control. The only thing he could use to threaten them was to hold their Miniature Universe hostage in the Universe Ocean.
However, Chen Yi does not currently possess the ability to destroy the Holy Land Universe.
So...
The best choice for nurturing Void True God is the Jin World.
Immediately, Chen Yi issued orders to the races controlled by the Universe Ocean: "Divine Eye, Bone-Splitting, you two rallied the races of the Universe Ocean to change the direction of that humanoid creature and make it crash into the Universe Boat!"
After.
Chen Yi then issued the order to the Human Race: "Master Chaos City Lord, notify all True God who have surrendered to our race to assemble at the Cloud Mirror Sea... Follow my instructions and help me intercept an unknown creature."
The order has been issued.
Chen Yi was at his lair in the Cloud Mirror Sea, but the entire Primal Universe and all parties in the Universe Ocean began a series of changes upon receiving the order.
Chen Yi's control over the Universe Ocean is becoming increasingly profound.
