Man is devouring, waves are traveling through the universe

Chapter 17 How to choose?
"Snow God" spacecraft.

Ye Xingkong had a calm expression as he sat cross-legged on the ground. He flipped his palm and a token carved from blue crystal appeared in his hand.

"Is this my identity token?"

Ye Xingkong carefully played with the token in his hand and felt that it was very cold. The word "snow" was written in a flamboyant style on the front, and the number "033" was written on the back.

"This number means that I am the 33rd personal attendant."

Ye Xingkong smiled slightly.

Now he is considered an organized person. At least he has the protection of an immortal strongman, which allows him to safely develop for a period of time in the battlefield outside the domain without having to worry about life and death crises all the time.

Afterwards, Ye Xingkong injected his mental power into the token, and the next moment, his consciousness entered a world of ice and snow.

This is a world filled with snow and wind, and the endless snow-capped mountains are all pale in sight.

On a mountain that towers into the clouds, an ancient palace is built, and the entire surface of the palace walls are covered with various intricate carvings.

Outside the ancient ice palace, Ye Xingkong's figure quietly emerged.

There, a beautiful figure had been waiting for a long time.

"Ye Xingkong, you are finally here!"

Qingyan crossed her arms across her chest, her curvy figure wrapped in exquisite armor. A milky white cloak swayed slowly in the cold wind behind her, making her legs look extremely charming.

“It’s so cold!”

Ye Xingkong looked up at the ancient palace and felt an extreme coldness coming towards him, as if even his soul was frozen.

"Come with me!"

Qingyan smiled at this and said, "This virtual world was created by Galaxy No. 7 to imitate your Lordship's Kingdom of Ice and Snow, so it's naturally very cold."

The two of them stopped exchanging pleasantries and walked towards the ancient palace.

In the center of the palace is a hall that seems infinitely large. Every ten meters there stands an ancient frozen stone tablet.

When Ye Xingkong got closer, he discovered that each frozen stone tablet corresponded to the name of a secret technique.

"This temple has a total of 851 secret techniques collected, all placed here by the Lord himself."

Qingyan said with a smile.

Ye Xingkong stopped talking and walked alone among the stone tablets.

There are 851 frozen stone tablets, most of which are at the realm master level, and very few are at the immortal level.

After all, Menglin herself is just an immortal military lord, and she is still very young among the immortals. Many of the secret techniques she collected are not very precious among the immortals.

"How do I choose?"

After about half an hour, Ye Xingkong finished reading all the stone tablets and couldn't help but frown and think.

851 secret methods may seem like a lot, but in fact, they don't leave him much room for choice.

Among them, there are 521 warrior secrets, 209 spiritual master secrets, 56 basic secrets, and 65 other miscellaneous secrets.

"Sister Qingyan, what do you think I should choose?"

Ye Xingkong suddenly stopped, turned around and asked.

“You first need to understand what you really need.”

A smile appeared on Qingyan's pretty face, and she said lightly, "If you want to quickly improve your combat power, choose combat secrets; if you want to improve your speed and agility, choose body movement secrets; if you are confident in your understanding, choose more profound secrets. Human energy is limited. Of all the secrets, you can only truly practice two or three. You don't need the most powerful secret, but you need the one that suits you best."

Ye Xingkong nodded, not quite understanding.

What do I really need?
As for Ye Xingkong at the moment, he has too many shortcomings.

His body movements, speed, soul defense, domain, and laws were all very weak. If he were only compared with ordinary cosmic-level masters, Ye Xingkong might be pretty good.

However, if compared with the elite disciples of those big forces, they would probably be left far behind.

"In the practice of Devouring the Starry Sky, the most important thing is the laws! The laws are the great way, the foundation! Without sufficient accumulation of laws, even the most exquisite moves will only be so-so in terms of power!"

Ye Xingkong's eyes gradually brightened, as if he had figured it out.

The law is the foundation!

Even though he is only at the second level of the lightning realm now and still has a long way to go before he can comprehend the laws, his first clone is about to be born.

The Five Elements clone's compatibility with the Five Elements Laws and Space Laws is thirty times that of ordinary life!
Once it is conceived, are you still afraid that you won’t be able to comprehend the laws?

"So, what I should choose most now is not some body movement or soul defense secret technique, but a secret technique that can help me comprehend the laws."

Ye Xingkong's eyes were bright, and his gaze wandered among the hundreds of frozen stone tablets.

First, it is necessary to have the basic secrets of the law;

Second, it is about the secret method of the five elements law or the law of space.

Ye Xingkong quickly screened in his mind and finally selected three secret techniques from these 851 secret techniques.

Secret Scroll of Ice, Brief Description of Space, Detailed Explanation of Gold

But which one of these three should I choose?

"The Secret Scroll of Ice and the Detailed Explanation of Gold are both immortal-level secret techniques that fully describe a great law. In other words, by choosing these two secret techniques, one can continue practicing until one comprehends the entire Law of Water and the Law of Gold, and finally enter the realm of immortality."

"As for 'A Brief Account of Space', although it discusses the higher laws of space, it actually only touches on the surface and can only be used by realm masters for their comprehension."

Ye Xingkong thought for a moment and finally chose "Detailed Explanation of Gold".

The reason is simple. Although the Five Elements clones have extremely high talents in the Five Elements Law and the Space Law, they are actually most compatible with the Law of Gold.

"Sister Qingyan, I choose this one."

Ye Xingkong finally made a decision.

"Yes, you made the right choice."

Qingyan smiled and nodded, looking at Ye Xingkong with some approval in her eyes.

Among these 851 secret books, the preciousness of "Detailed Explanation of Gold" is enough to rank among the top three.

It represents a complete path to immortality. As long as one comprehends this secret book, one can achieve immortality by relying on the law of gold.

"Little guy, this "Detailed Explanation of Gold" is not easy to practice."

"It is never easy to comprehend the laws. It is a very difficult road."

Qingyan said meaningfully.

It takes a lot of energy to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe.

When Ye Xingkong first started practicing "Detailed Explanation of Gold", his strength would not improve at all. Instead, it would take up too much time, causing his strength improvement to slow down.

Many cosmic-level powerhouses, even domain-level powerhouses, in the universe have spent thousands or even tens of thousands of years without being able to sense the fluctuations of the laws.

This is a very common thing.

However, once you cross the threshold of the law, your strength will undergo a qualitative change.

Understanding the laws and not understanding the laws are completely different.
