Chapter 127 A Special Virtual Game
"Speaking of which, I have some connection with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds behind the Black Sea Venerable. We cooperated once during a competition for a supreme treasure. I should give him face, both out of courtesy and courtesy."
The Lord of Chaos City gave Qi Yuan a brief introduction to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Ancestral God Sect.
"Teacher, senior master, according to the confidential information I obtained, Venerable Black Sea and King Nether Spring are very likely the offspring of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."
"What? Are you serious?" Both the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos were stunned by the news Qi Yuan had revealed. "The offspring of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds? Could it be that they all possess divine bodies as immense as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?"
It's worth noting that when the divine body of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was revealed, it shocked all races in the universe. A divine body with a diameter of 12 light-years was simply despair-inducing.
As long as he is not destroyed by his soul, even if all the strongest beings in the original universe joined forces, it would be difficult to completely annihilate his immortal divine power!
Back then, the two cosmic lords joined forces to hunt down the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and broke into the Nine Netherworld space-time. As a result, the endless seawater in the entire Nine Netherworld space-time was set ablaze with divine power.
One of the two universe lords died and the other was injured. If it weren't for the protection of a top-tier treasure palace, the Lord of Sirius would have perished long ago!
It was from that time that everyone realized that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds was only walking in an avatar, and that his true body was the Netherworld Sea, which was 12 light-years in diameter!
"The divine bodies of King Youquan and the others are certainly not as good as those of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. They only have a genetic level of 300 times. However, their divine bodies are indeed much larger than those of almost all special life forms," Qi Yuan explained.
The Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Chaos did not inquire where Qi Yuan obtained the information. Every living being has its own secrets, and they only needed to confirm the accuracy of the information.
"So the last clone you chose is the offspring of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds?" the Lord of Darkness asked.
Qi Yuan nodded.
"A wise choice," the Lord of Darkness praised. "Your Feathered Body already possesses a high level of talent in the laws of spacetime, and choosing a massive divine body as your final avatar is a good idea."
The Lord of Chaos City also said, "With a divine body like the Nine Nether Sea, even if the other two avatars are damaged, they can quickly replenish their divine power. This advantage becomes more prominent at higher cultivation levels. For example, at the level of a Universe Venerable or Universe Lord, the immortal divine power lost in each battle takes billions of epochs to recover. To recover quickly, one must use treasures, which are extremely expensive. Therefore, unless in an absolutely overwhelming situation, a Universe Lord rarely burns divine power for a long time in battle."
With a Nine Netherworld Avatar, things would be different. Consumed divine power could be replenished at any time, even during battle, allowing one to return to peak strength. As long as the divine body is large enough, even if one's strength is inferior, others wouldn't be willing to fight to the death with you.
The Lord of Darkness looked at the Lord of Chaos: "Senior brother, let's include the genetic material of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' offspring in the negotiations between the Shadow Monarch and the Black Sea Venerable. Prioritize exchanging the genetic material; if they refuse to give up this treasure, I can compensate for the loss."
The Lord of Chaos nodded and entered the virtual universe to explain the matter to the Shadow Monarch, ordering him to be in charge of the negotiations.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Qi Yuan chose a residence adjacent to Sheng Guangyu.
After conquering Tongtian Mountain, he was granted the status of a Grandmaster King, allowing him to build his own residence in Chaos City and to teach and take on disciples.
After he had some free time, he began to continue practicing the secret technique of body vibration, "Chaotic True Body".
He had already purchased all the resources and treasures needed to cultivate the "True Body of Chaos".
I've been practicing in my spare time over the years, and now I've reached an amplitude of 70 times.
He anticipates reaching 100 times the body amplitude before achieving immortality.
Several days later, a crystal-bald alien cosmic venerable descended upon Qi Yuan's residence.
"Your Highness Qi Yuan, I am the Ancient One Venerable, a servant of your teacher, the Lord of Darkness. My master exchanged a treasure for you that can enhance your gene multiplier, and I have come here specifically to deliver it."
A world ring flew from his hand and landed in Qi Yuan's hand.
Qi Yuan imprinted his soul mark on it, then examined the treasures inside, along with the instructions provided by the Lord of Darkness, feeling deeply grateful to his teacher.
He then invited the Ancient One to join the banquet, but the Ancient One declined his invitation and left in a hurry.
Several months later, the Lord of Chaos summoned him to the Lord's Mansion.
"It's settled. We didn't take the other party's most precious treasure; we only took a piece of genetic material."
As the Lord of Chaos spoke, he tossed him a world ring.
After Qi Yuan recognized the master, he discovered that it contained a fist-sized mass of blood-red seawater.
"I made an agreement with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds that this sea of blood water can only be nurtured by you alone and cannot retain genetic material. Use it all," the Lord of Chaos City instructed.
"Thank you, Senior Uncle." Qi Yuan bowed solemnly in gratitude. "But in this way, wouldn't we be exchanging a priceless treasure for just a small portion of the Imperial Sea's water? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
If he had known this would happen, he would have done what Luo Feng did: first join the Ancestral God Sect, and then exchange this Imperial Sea Water for joining the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
The Chaos City Lord glanced at his regretful and distressed expression, shook his head, and laughed, "You're mistaken. We didn't lose anything at all; in fact, we made a huge profit!"
"Do you know what they did by commissioning this special virtual game?"
Before Qi Yuan could answer, the Chaos City Lord began to explain: "To break through to the Universe Lord level by cultivating the Path of the Beast God, besides comprehending a complete fusion law, the most important thing is to comprehend the Beast God's intent and understand the Beast God's heart. Only by combining these two can one break through to the Universe Lord level."
Comprehending the laws of fusion is relatively easier, as it is step-by-step and follows certain patterns; the most difficult is comprehending the Heart of the Beast God. The Heart of the Beast God is ethereal and elusive, truly difficult to grasp.
Many cultivators of the Path of the Beast God have already comprehended a complete fusion law, yet they remain stuck at the final step, unable to break through even after endless years, simply because they don't know where to begin their comprehension of the Heart of the Beast God.
Speaking of this, the Lord of Chaos City thought of his eldest disciple, the Star Prison Demon Lord, and couldn't help but sigh.
"So this virtual game they commissioned can help you comprehend the Heart of the Beast God?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.
The Lord of Chaos exclaimed, "The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is indeed a genius. Moreover, he is the guardian deity of the Ancestral God Sect, so naturally he has a deeper understanding of the cultivation methods of the Beast God Path than our human race."
In this game, players can seal their memories and completely transform into the Beast God, thereby comprehending the Beast God's state of mind. This is very helpful in understanding the Beast God's intent and can also increase the chances of comprehending the Beast God's heart.
He needs the extraordinary simulation capabilities of the virtual universe, and we need him to create all the details of this game. Everyone gets what they need, so it's a win-win situation, and no one loses out.
With this method, some powerful individuals among humanity who follow the path of the Beast God have gained another way to enhance their strength.
As the Beast God's intent strengthens, the power of the fused laws will naturally increase accordingly.
Especially for a cosmic venerable like the Star Prison Demon Lord who has already reached the final stage, if he could comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, he could ascend to the heavens in one step and become the master of the universe!
Of course, this method only slightly increases the probability of comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, and its effect is not particularly significant.
However, even increasing the probability by just a tiny bit is extremely rare, and no amount of treasures could possibly be enough to exchange for it!
Qi Yuan nodded, finally understanding why the human race hadn't wanted the other's treasure.
Compared to an ordinary treasure, this method of continuously tapping into the potential of the strongest members of the race is far more important and valuable than any treasure.
As for plagiarizing the other party's game, firstly, it would offend the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Ancestral God Cult behind him, which would be a loss; secondly, it would damage the reputation and face of the human race.
The reputation and face of a race are fundamental to its survival. The Human Race Alliance is not just for humans, but also includes many other races, including many cosmic lords.
Let alone a mere ordinary treasure, even a top-tier treasure wouldn't be worth doing this.
After finishing that matter, the Chaos City Lord brought up the matter of the Yanji Clan's inheritance token.
He told Qi Yuan that he had already obtained the treasure-refining inheritance and entered it into the treasure vault. The clan rewarded him with a free opportunity to obtain the inheritance, and he could download it from the treasure vault himself.
After leaving Chaos City, Qi Yuan logged into the virtual universe operation backend and found the Yanji Clan's sacrificial rune inheritance in the "Secret Techniques" section.
"Hiss! It actually costs 100 billion points! That's the same price as the ultimate secret manuals analyzing the Chaos Monument, like 'The Secret Techniques of the Chaos Universe' and 'Notes on Time and Space'!"
Qi Yuan couldn't help but gasp.
The complete "Secret Techniques of the Chaotic Universe" was originally a gift from the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom; he simply couldn't afford to buy it himself.
"Thankfully, the community granted me a free purchase opportunity; otherwise, I would have had to buy in tiers, and I don't know how long it would have taken to afford the complete book!"
Qi Yuan clicked to purchase, and soon after, Eitor, the butler of the Primitive District, arrived carrying a huge black box.
"Your Highness Qi Yuan, this is the secret manual you purchased. I've brought it to you," Aitor said with a smile and a respectful expression.
"Thank you, Mr. Ettor."
Qi Yuan took the box and returned to his virtual manor.
He opened the huge black box and found 108 golden books inside, each of which was more than ten meters thick!
Qi Yuan opened the first volume in order, and saw on the first page that it read "Secret Patterns of the Space Side".
As you continue reading, the first ten books record a total of 64 spatial runes and the various combinations of these 64 runes.
Volumes 11 through 20 contain 64 Time Side Runes and the various combinations of these 64 runes.
Volumes 21 through 30 record 64 secret patterns formed by the combination of the laws of time and space, as well as the various combinations between these patterns.
Volumes 31 to 108 cover weapon crafting knowledge and the application of sacrificial runes in weapon crafting.
For example, there's the "Space-Locking Arm" which can lock space, the "Instantaneous Wings" which can accelerate time, the "Time-Stopping Ray" which can stop time, and so on.
Qi Yuan was shocked to discover that these sacrificial runes were completely different from the runes contained in the beast god statue in the microcosm of the Starry Sky Beast Ancestor.
The secret runes contained within the Beast God statue are composed of eight fusion laws forming small secret rune units; while the sacrificial secret runes are composed of ten laws combined into secret rune units.
Qi Yuan speculated that in an even more ancient era, before the universe was destroyed several times, there once existed a complete school of cultivation based on secret runes, and the fusion of law secret runes and the sacrificial secret runes should both be branches of this school.
Similar to the Fusion Law Rune Flow, the Sacrifice Runes can form various secret techniques by combining individual rune units.
These secret techniques vary in power, with some being so powerful that they can even reach the level of ultimate secret techniques, while others are simply insignificant.
These books only record a portion of the representative and universally applicable secret methods; most of them merely provide a framework, requiring one to explore and create on their own.
This is the advantage of the Secret Pattern Flow: even if one's own understanding of the laws is insufficient, by combining secret pattern units time and time again, it is possible to create secret techniques that surpass one's own understanding of the laws!
Then, one can use this secret method to enrich one's own understanding of the laws.
However, this is a clumsy method that requires patience and insight, and it takes repeated sketching and combining to grasp that glimmer of inspiration.
This method is suitable for powerful individuals who are stuck at a bottleneck. It can not only be used to deduce stronger secret techniques, but also to improve their understanding of the laws, thereby breaking through the bottleneck.
Qi Yuan doesn't need it right now because he's far from reaching his bottleneck.
Qi Yuan estimated that his talent was slightly better than Ke Di's, and that his bottleneck period would arrive when he became the universe's overlord.
Of course, this is an estimate based on his current talent and potential.
It all depends on what character card you draw from the "Great Martial Arts System" when you break through to become an Immortal God or a Universe Venerable.
If the character card you draw has extremely high talent, then his bottleneck will arrive later.
"It's a pity that this free opportunity can't be transferred, otherwise it would have been given to Sheng Guangyu. She has now reached the bottleneck of becoming an invincible king, and she is the one who needs it the most."
Qi Yuan secretly felt sorry for him.
He then went to the neighboring mansion to find Saint Light Feather, told her about the cultivation method of the sacrificial runes, and gave her the remaining five hundred Illusionary Demon Eyes.
With the treasures enhanced by the Lord of Darkness, these five hundred Illusionary Eyes are no longer of any use to him.
The Illusionary Demon Eye is more precious and practical than the Wind Source Crystal. Due to its scarcity, it is many times more expensive than the Blood of the Beast God, enough for Holy Light Feather to purchase the first ten volumes of the Flame Sacrifice Clan's Secret Codex.
The first ten volumes of the secret manual happen to be about the secret runes of the spatial side, which can help her study the secret techniques.
If she can create her own ultimate secret technique and then use it to improve her understanding of the laws, she might be able to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable in one fell swoop!
"Thank you, my husband!"
Saint Light Feather excitedly hugged him and kissed him, then hurriedly went to find her teacher, Thunder Venerable, to exchange the Illusionary Demon Eye for points to purchase the Flame Sacrifice Clan's Secret Codex.
Qi Yuan also returned to his cultivation chamber and began to nurture his Blood Sea Avatar.
