Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 189 The Threshold of Becoming a King
"Your Highness Minghai, are you applying for a nutrient storage facility? From the first to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level?"

The beautiful cat-woman looked at Minghai respectfully and asked.

"Correct!"

Minghai nodded slightly.

"Application approved!"

The beautiful young woman with cat-like features nodded and said:

"It's still a hundred times the nutrient solution needed for an ordinary person to advance? It will be delivered to your Primal Secret Realm, Continent 120, in one month!"

"Not a hundred times!"

Minghai interrupted the beautiful cat-woman, saying calmly:
"It's a thousand times!"

"what?"

The beautiful young woman with cat-like features was taken aback. After hesitating for a long time, she said:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I need to consult with the company's senior management and obtain their permission before I can approve your request!"

After saying that, he began to connect with the company's upper management to inquire about relevant matters. A short while later, he smiled at Minghai and said:
"Your Highness, your application has been approved. The nutrient tank and 1000 doses of nutrient solution will be delivered to your residence in one month!"

...,

Independent training room.

Brush, brush, brush!!!
Whoosh whoosh! ! !
Sword light swept across the entire training room, and a silver figure tinged with blood transformed into a streak of light, dancing up and down within the training room.

The entire training room was filled with the omnipresent, sharp sword light, the power of the laws fluctuated, and dark spatial cracks appeared in the void, which then quickly recovered.

This scene lasted for an unknown period of time until finally, the sword light in the room subsided, revealing Minghai's figure with blood-red hair and silver armor.

"It seems that even the most advanced secret techniques aren't so difficult to learn!"

He stopped cultivating and stood in the center of the cultivation room, muttering to himself.

During the month he waited for the nutrient tank to arrive, he practiced his secret techniques.

To date, he has learned another set of top-level secret techniques.

After advancing to the Domain Lord level, although it was only the first level of Domain Lord, his mental power increased significantly, his brain processing speed increased several times, his perception of laws became more acute and clear, and his cultivation of secret techniques became much easier than before.

"I've mastered the 'Azure Ocean Sword Technique,' now I'll switch to the 'Waves Sword Technique'!"

Shaking his head, Minghai began to cultivate another top-level secret technique called "Water and Void" - the "Wave Sword Technique".

Having reached his current level of understanding of the laws, the effect of simply focusing on comprehending the laws is becoming increasingly diminishing.

The enhanced understanding of laws brought about by secret cultivation methods is more effective than simply comprehending the laws themselves!

The laws are the fundamental forces that maintain the operation of the universe. They are profound, obscure, and full of mysteries, and are not so easy to grasp.

In fact, the cultivation of laws is divided into three stages.

The first stage focuses on understanding the principles.

At this stage, the purpose of secret cultivation is to serve the purpose of comprehending the laws and to accelerate the practitioner's progress in comprehending the laws; this is also known as the foundation-laying stage.

After the battle of geniuses, the Nine Swords Venerable repeatedly reminded Minghai that cultivation should focus on comprehending the laws, and this was for this very reason.

The second stage focuses on the cultivation of secret techniques, supplemented by the comprehension of laws.

At this stage, the cultivator's understanding of the laws has reached a very high level. It is difficult to delve into the origin of the laws by relying solely on understanding, but through secret cultivation methods, one can gradually delve into the origin and master more profound and mysterious laws.

The third stage focuses on creating one's own secret techniques, supplemented by comprehending the laws and practicing the secret techniques of others.

Only by creating a secret method that best suits oneself can one perfectly demonstrate one's strength and truly master the profound mysteries of the laws one cultivates.

Only by creating one's own secret techniques can one possibly master a complete law and become an immortal god or a cosmic venerable.

Therefore, every immortal and cosmic venerable has their own unique secret techniques. The current Nether Sea has already passed the first stage and entered the second stage, which is a stage where the cultivation of secret techniques is the main focus, and the comprehension of laws is secondary.

Through continuous study of the 'Ring of Space', his understanding of the laws has reached its current limit.

To continue moving forward, one must cultivate through secret methods to condense, refine, and systematize existing understandings of the laws, in order to delve deeper into the origin and comprehend even more profound mysteries of the laws.

Five days later, a black F-class spaceship carrying staff from the Virtual Universe Company, a nutrient tank, and a thousand servings of nutrient solution needed for ordinary people to advance from the Domain Lord level to the ninth rank of the Domain Lord level arrived at the Underworld Sea Residence.

"Your Highness, these are the nutrient tank and nutrient solution you requested from the company!"

A black-robed messenger exuding an aura of immortal divine power emerged from the spaceship. He first verified that Minghai was indeed the domain lord before speaking.

……

Immersed in a bone-chillingly cold nutrient solution capable of instantly freezing a star-sized object into ice, Minghai calmly absorbed the abundant energy and began his physical evolution.

While absorbing nutrient solution, one cannot move, but can log into the virtual universe without interrupting cultivation.

Because he needs to absorb a thousand times more nutrient solution than others, he also spends far more time soaking in the nutrient solution.

It took him more than a month to advance from the first level of the Universe level to the ninth level. This time, it is estimated that it will take at least a year to complete the energy absorption and advance to the ninth level of the Domain Lord level.

half year later.

Yuxiang Mountain, a pristine area, a luxury estate.

In his independent virtual training room, Minghai, who had just mastered a brand-new top-tier secret technique, frowned.

"Cultivating top-tier secret techniques and mastering the profound mysteries of the laws is still a bit too slow!"

He pondered silently.

Generally speaking, top-tier secret techniques are created by powerful immortals who have reached the King level. They contain the insights into the laws of the King level. If one can master them completely, one's understanding of the laws will inevitably reach the King level.

However, under normal circumstances, one can never fully grasp the profound mysteries of the laws contained within someone else's secret techniques.

The reason why the Immortal King is called "Immortal King" is not only because his strength far surpasses that of the Immortal Marquis, but most importantly because of his mastery of the laws.

The comprehension of the laws at the King-level not only allows immortal divine power to transform and strength to increase dramatically, but also represents a deep dive into the origin, opening the door to mastering higher-level laws and advancing towards becoming a cosmic venerable.

A huge hurdle!

In theory, any immortal king has the potential to advance to the level of a cosmic sovereign.

Therefore, the human race's high-ranking officials granted the title of Immortal King to such a high status, allowing them to reside permanently in Chaos City, close to the origin of the universe, and to have the best possible cultivation environment.

Furthermore, all races in the primordial universe, including humans, regarded the title of King and Immortality as the minimum standard for resurrection.

Correspondingly, the difficulty of cultivating one's understanding of the laws to the level of becoming a King-level Immortal is exceptionally high.

Although Minghai has comprehended the essence of 108 spatial laws and has no cultivation bottlenecks before becoming a King Immortal, it does not mean that he can reach the King realm in one step.

The understanding of the laws at the King-level belongs to the realm of the deep origin of the universe. It is not enough to rely solely on comprehension; one must cultivate advanced secret techniques to delve into the origin and master the more profound mysteries of the laws.

If Minghai could create his own top-tier secret technique, he would naturally instantly gain a king-level understanding of the laws, but he is far from being ready to create his own secret technique now.

To delve into the origins, master the more profound mysteries of the laws, and truly elevate one's understanding of the laws to the level of becoming a king and immortal, the only way is to cultivate the secret methods of the predecessors.

Compared to creating one's own secret techniques, the difficulty of cultivating the secret techniques of predecessors is greatly reduced. Therefore, during this period, Minghai has been focusing on cultivating secret techniques.

With his comprehension and cultivation aptitude at the level of 'hundreds of billions of yuan', even a domain lord would be able to master top-level secret techniques.

Each top-tier secret technique contains complete insights into the laws of a king-level immortal who created it.

Practicing someone else's secret techniques will never allow you to fully grasp the complete principles contained within those techniques.

However, as long as one cultivates a sufficient number of top-tier secret techniques, one can still elevate their understanding of the laws to the level of a King-level Immortal.
