Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 119 The Lord of Tianshuang Kingdom obtains another important treasure

In the Devouring Starry Sky, many powerful figures would not openly say "I want to take you as my disciple" when accepting a disciple.

Instead, he will tell you first that you can ask him if you don't understand anything, and then you can take the initiative to express your intention to become his apprentice.

The stronger man readily agreed, and the two formed a master-disciple relationship.

The reason for this is that the strong take the initiative to accept disciples. If the weak do not have the willingness to do so for various reasons and fail to accept the offer, then the strong will lose face.

Being tactful can avoid putting both parties in an awkward position.

Lu Jin stored the Eight Directions Primordial Mirror from his sea of ​​consciousness into his external storage space, and also stored the Cloud-Moving Vine that had transformed into battle armor, the Blood Thorns and Star-Eating Grass that had transformed into pattern marks on his left and right wrists into his world ring.

Afterwards, he left Zi Ni Chang's divine kingdom, flew out of Guanghan Star, took out an E9-class spaceship, and began traversing the dark universe, heading towards the coordinates sent to him by the Heavenly Frost Kingdom Lord.

He went there to become a disciple, not to flaunt his wealth; he wanted the King of Tianshuang to think he was as poor as possible.

After all, the disciple is a wealthy man, so the teacher will subconsciously think that you are not short of money, and that the treasures can be given to you later.

Conversely, if the disciple is penniless, the teacher must at least offer some assistance.

Otherwise, if they go out and make a living, wouldn't that be embarrassing for the teacher?
Just after Lu Jin boarded the spaceship and entered the dark universe, a tall, golden-scaled figure secretly guarding the star, tens of light-years away from Guanghan Star, followed him.

The territory of the Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom is not small, with a diameter of 1.8 million light-years.

According to the coordinates sent by the Lord of the Frost Kingdom, the Frost Temple is located in the central region of the Frost Universe Kingdom.

Fortunately, the Guanghan Starfield is not located on the edge of the cosmic kingdom, and is only about 2200 million light-years away from the coordinates of the Tianshuang Temple.

The efficiency of the Dark Universe shuttle is 1008.1 million times that of the original universe. In addition, this E9-class spaceship can maintain a cruising speed of 9 times the speed of light, so it can arrive in three months.

Lu Jin didn't waste these three months. After the spaceship entered the dark universe, he went into the World Ring and continued to cultivate the "Falling Snow Secret Manual".

Thanks to his extraordinary life form's cultivation talent, which was no less than a hundred times that of the Water Law, Lu Jin's cultivation speed in the "Falling Snow Secret Manual" was not slow.

However, just like the fundamental laws of space, comprehending the 108 mysteries of the fundamental laws of water is also difficult. The first 9 are the easiest, the middle 27 are very difficult, and the last 72 are the most difficult.

Three months before the Genius Battle even began, his progress slowed down after he comprehended the profound mysteries of the 9th fundamental law of water.

Fortunately, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom later had Barn send him the Water Origin Law Stele as a reference, which improved his comprehension speed.

Even so, several years have passed, and he has only just grasped the mysteries of the 10th fundamental law of water, still a bit short of grasping the 11th.

As for the Water Kirin clone that cultivates the "Bloodstained Secret Manual," its efficiency is also not fast.

The difficulty of comprehending higher-level laws is much higher than that of lower-level laws. Even with the manifestation of primordial laws within the Great Luo Heaven, and with the nine spatial primordial laws as a reference, he has only managed to comprehend the second spatial primordial law so far, and has yet to comprehend the third.

Of course, to be honest, his comprehension speed is not slow either.

Just like Luo Feng in the original work, it took him ten years to understand the first profound law of the origin of space, and a total of 28 years to understand the first nine profound laws of the origin of space.

At that time, Luo Feng was cultivating the "Bloodstained Secret Manual" in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, where the cultivation environment was no worse than that of the Great Luo Heaven.

Although the nine spatial origin laws of the mysterious stele sent by the Heavenly Frost Kingdom Lord can be viewed at any time, it is ultimately just a casual creation. From the perspective of the efficiency of enlightenment, it is probably not as good as looking at the Chaos Stele once even after several years.

Besides that, the most important factor is the guidance of excellent teachers.

He had no teacher to teach him, but Luo Feng spent 28 years comprehending the nine spatial mysteries. Apart from the first 10 years before he even entered the realm of knowledge, the subsequent 18 years were spent being carefully taught by the invincible King Zhenyan.

He spent eight years cultivating on his own, mastering the basics of the "Bloodstained Secret Manual" and comprehending the first type of spatial mystery.

He spent another three years comprehending the mysteries of the second type of space; his talent is not bad at all.

Three months later.

Inside the control room of an E9-class spaceship shaped like a flying saucer in the dark universe.

"Master, we are about to embark on a space traverse and arrive at our destination."

Fatty said to Lu Jin.

Before long, the spaceship began to vibrate slightly. When everything returned to calm, the spaceship had left the dark universe and appeared in the vast starry sky.

"Start the exterior scene simulation."

Lu Jin gave the instructions.

The next second, the indoor scenery changed, revealing the void outside.

This is a vast starry sky, with distant stars like countless twinkling stars in the night sky.

What is most eye-catching is the palace complex that stands in the far distance, amidst the starry sky, stretching for tens of millions of kilometers.

Then, the hatch opened, and Lu Jin flew out of the spaceship, storing the saucer-shaped E9-class spaceship in his world ring before heading towards the palace complex in the far distance.

At the same time, in an ice-blue temple in the center of the palace complex, a handsome, silver-haired figure sitting on a throne opened his eyes.

His gaze pierced through space and landed on Lu Jin, who was flying towards the palace complex from a distance in the starry sky.

'Barn, go and bring that little fellow to me.'

The silver-haired figure's voice reached the ears of a bald, one-horned giant in a temple not far from the ice-blue temple.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Barn, whose consciousness remained partially within the virtual universe, bowed towards the direction of the ice-blue temple and flew out of the temple.

The divine body of an immortal being who has been granted the title of Marquis can easily surpass the speed of light. Lu Jin, who was flying towards the palace complex in the far distance in the starry sky, only felt a blur before his eyes, and Barn, with a single horn on his head, appeared in front of him.

"Lord Barn."

Lu Jin bowed respectfully.

"His Majesty is aware of your arrival. Please follow me."

As he spoke, Barn's divine power materialized, enveloping Lu Jin and carrying him as a streak of light towards the distant palace complex.

Soon, when Lu Jin's vision returned to normal, he found himself standing in front of a majestic, ice-blue temple.

The walls of the entire palace are covered with countless intricate carvings, exuding a chilling aura.

Looking up, one can see a huge plaque hanging above the lintel of the massive palace gate, which is tens of thousands of kilometers high, with three large characters on it: Tian Shuang Palace.

Is it a palace treasure, or a palace's most precious treasure?

Lu Jin thought to himself.

He could tell that this was not an ordinary palace, but a palace-like treasure.

If it's a palace treasure, then the Frost King's power must be quite formidable.

After all, palace-type treasures are a level above ordinary offensive and defensive treasures.

The High-Rank Venerable Qianwu, who was short of a few Treasure Points, was already the 'Number One Debtor of the Human Race'.

A cosmic master who can afford the treasures of an ordinary palace is basically a cosmic overlord.

"Your Majesty, Lu Jin has been brought here."

Barn bowed towards the inside of the hall.

Although the doors of the ice-blue temple were open, the scene inside was not clearly visible, only a hazy ice-blue light.

The next second, Lu Jin felt a dizzying sensation as the space shifted, and he appeared in an extremely spacious temple.

Dozens of meters in front of him, a young man with silver hair, wearing frost armor and a cold and handsome face sat on a throne.

The silver-haired man simply sat there, not emitting any terrifying aura, but in Lu Jin's eyes, he seemed to be the master of the space he was in.

"Little one, you've come."

A smile appeared on the lips of the Heavenly Frost King as he spoke gently.

After the preliminary rounds, he watched the match videos of Lu Jin recorded by Barn.

Although Lu Jin was already able to unleash the fifth level of the Heavenly Frost Divine Weapon at that time, the Heavenly Frost King still did not believe that Lu Jin could pass the seventh trial tower.

After all, even though they are both fifth-level Heavenly Frost Divine Weapons, their actual power varies greatly.

But to his surprise, Lu Jin gave him a pleasant surprise and passed the seventh trial tower beyond his expectations.

You should know that, looking at the entire human race, the last person to clear the seventh trial tower was his second senior uncle's most outstanding disciple—the Lord of Youhou!

"This junior, Lu Jin, humbly requests that Master accept me as his disciple!"

Lu Jin knelt down respectfully.

A smile appeared on the lips of the King of Tianshuang as he said, "From this day forward, you will be the first disciple of Tianshuang!"

first place?

And it didn't even mention the word 'registered'. Hmm~, am I the founding disciple?

"Thank you, teacher!"

Lu Jin bowed again.

‘Shua——’

The next second, without any visible movement, the Heavenly Frost King, who had been sitting on his throne, appeared in front of Lu Jin and personally helped him up.

"what?"

Suddenly, the moment the Heavenly Frost King touched Lu Jin's shoulder, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After helping Lu Jin up, the King of Tianshuang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lu Jin, your life genes..."

Previously, he had not noticed, but at this moment, the King of Tianshuang could see that Lu Jin, as a pure human, had reached the limit of life genes below the Lord of the Universe - a hundred times the life genes!
"Teacher, I have had a special opportunity."

Lu Jin said.

"That's true. A genius can't be helped without some special opportunities."

The King of Tianshuang nodded.

Looking at the many powerful beings in the universe, which one didn't have some kind of stroke of luck?

Without opportunity, do you deserve to become a strong person based solely on your own talent?
As a reserve force for the strong, it's perfectly normal for geniuses to have opportunities.

However, on the other hand, his own disciple possesses a hundred times the life gene, which saves him a precious treasure!

In the universe, resources that can elevate the genetic level of life are extremely expensive. Raising a life's genetic level tenfold would require at least the price of a common, high-value treasure.

Generally speaking, only those who are invincible at the King level and a very few who reach the pinnacle of the King level have this financial resources.

A hundredfold life gene is of a higher grade than a tenfold life gene.

Most treasures that can increase gene multipliers have an upper limit of ten times their effectiveness; anything above ten times becomes ineffective.

This would mean that the cost of achieving a hundredfold increase in life genes would skyrocket.

If you have access to resources, that's fine. But if you don't, even if you pay the price of an ordinary treasure, you might not be able to get a rare resource that can elevate your life's genetic level a hundredfold.

"Teacher, you said I was your first disciple?"

Remembering what the Heavenly Frost King had said about the 'first disciple,' Lu Jin asked with some curiosity.

The Heavenly Frost Universe Kingdom wasn't newly established; for a long time, their own teacher had never taken on any disciples.

"Haha~, not bad, I have never taken on any disciples before."

However, my clan is large, and over the years I have guided many people, but I have never formally accepted any disciples.

The King of Tianshuang smiled and shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to take on disciples, but rather that the path he's taken is unusual, and he's never been able to find a genius who suits his taste.

He is following the path of the Water Beast God, and even he himself has not yet succeeded in traversing it.

If this were used to teach the Beast God Path to disciples who originally intended to follow the path of time and space, wouldn't that be misleading them?
To put it bluntly, it was discovered that Lu Jin had embarked on the path of analyzing the mysteries of the fundamental laws of water and emptiness, clearly heading in the direction of the Water Beast God's Way.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Lu Jin was, he wouldn't have taken him as a disciple. Instead, he would have recommended him to his junior brother, who had already become a Venerable, or even his father, to teach him.

It wasn't that the apprentice wasn't good enough, but rather that he didn't want to waste such a genius.

"Tell your master about the mysteries of the laws of water and space, and where they have progressed to respectively."

The King of Tianshuang asked.

"I have comprehended 10 of the mysteries of the laws of water, and 2 of the mysteries of the laws of space."

Lu Jin answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the King of Tianshuang raised an eyebrow and asked, "If I remember correctly, you bought those two manuals more than ten years ago, right? How did you comprehend them so quickly?"

Those two manuals naturally refer to "The Snowfall Manual" and "The Bloodshed Manual".

In just over a decade, you little guy have comprehended the mysteries of 10 fundamental laws of water and 2 fundamental laws of space?

Lu Jin said, "Teacher, I had a special opportunity. I have a special life clone of a race called 'Water Qilin' that uses the Water-Air Fusion Law. The life gene multiplier of the Water Qilin clone is slightly higher than that of the original."

His water unicorn clone is not something to be ashamed of; in fact, Lu Jin plans to take it to the initial universe and the primordial secret realm later on.

"A special life form based on the law of water and air fusion? No wonder you embarked on the path of analyzing the mysteries of the fundamental laws."

The King of Tianshuang suddenly realized.

He knew it! How could some little guy be so bored as to go through the trouble of analyzing the mysteries of the lower-level fundamental laws? It turns out there's a special life form with the law of water and space fusion as its avatar!
It would be a real shame if someone with a special life form based on the Water-Air Fusion Law didn't follow the path of the Water Beast God.

It is no exaggeration to say that a special life form that has fused with the laws is essentially a smaller version of a beast god with the corresponding attributes.

Putting everything else aside, if I make a trip to the Ancestral Mystic Realm in the future, I might be able to get a few treasures for free from those rich dogs in the Ancestral God Cult!
Moreover, this water unicorn clone is not only beneficial for enlightenment, but also has almost maximum life-saving ability.

From now on, as long as we are careful not to be enslaved or infiltrated and destroyed by the soul, the universe is so vast, we can just go with the flow.

With great talent and strong survival skills, he's definitely a future powerhouse!
Subsequently, the King of Tianshuang Kingdom demonstrated to Lu Jin the eleventh mystery of the fundamental law of water and the third mystery of the fundamental law of space.

"Just watch carefully."

As he spoke, the King of Tianshuang pointed his finger, and a point of icy light appeared in the air inside the hall, slowly transforming into a huge snowflake of ice crystals that emitted the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of water.

Once the ice crystals and snowflakes have completely solidified, they will return to the very first point of ice, and this process will continue indefinitely.

Immediately afterward, not far from the ice crystal snowflakes, a silver, semi-transparent triangular cone appeared, constantly circulating and emitting fluctuations of the fundamental laws of space.

To allow Lu Jin to see more clearly, the Heavenly Frost King deliberately slowed down his movements, and the ice crystal snowflakes and silver translucent cones took a very slow time to form.

Gazing at the constantly swirling ice crystals and snowflakes and the silver, translucent cones in mid-air, Lu Jin suddenly felt a surge of insights.

Many of the questions I had encountered while practicing the 11th set of sword techniques from the "Falling Snow Secret Manual" and the 3rd set of sword techniques from the "Floating Blood Secret Manual" were instantly resolved with perfect solutions and correct answers.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin unleashed his spiritual power, keeping a constant watchful eye, and took out the Ice Soul Sword from his World Ring, beginning to practice the 11th set of sword techniques from the "Falling Snow Secret Manual".

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Great Luo Heaven, the Water Qilin clone, which had transformed into human form, also stopped watching the Void Mithril Stele and began practicing the third set of sword techniques from the "Bloodstained Secret Manual" while holding the Ice Soul Sword.

'Swish!' 'Swish!' 'Swish!'

Inside the ice-blue temple in the starry sky, in the Lingxiao Palace of the Great Luo Heaven, amidst the flashing sword light, new insights kept emerging from Lu Jin's mind.

As the swordplay was practiced, the aura of the water source law emanating from Lu Jin's main body and the aura of the space source law emanating from the water unicorn clone resonated with the fluctuations of the universe's origin.

'good! ’

The King of Tianshuang Kingdom observed the changes in Lu Jin and nodded in satisfaction.

Extraordinary physical talent, extraordinary comprehension, and the ability to create a clone to save his life.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Frost King, even if Lu Jin were to follow in his footsteps and fail to achieve the path of the Water Beast God, he would still inevitably become a cosmic overlord.

Moreover, possessing the secret technique of creating clones, he will be an extremely troublesome cosmic overlord, one that even many cosmic lords dare not easily provoke.

Because the cosmic overlords are still within the range of time reversal and resurrection, they can risk their lives, and they dare to risk their lives.

And the cosmic overlord with clones becomes even more reckless when it comes to risking his life.

Of course, if Lu Jin can successfully navigate the path of the Beast God, then the strength of the human race will rise to another level.

A cosmic overlord with clones is already troublesome enough; imagine a cosmic master with clones, one guarding their race while the other goes out to conquer—if they are bloodthirsty enough, they would be a nightmare for opposing forces.

If this clone is not even exposed to the outside world, it is enough to become the next Lord of the Northern Prison or the Lord of the Blood Cloud Palace.

Actually, the Heavenly Frost King had a misunderstanding. Lu Jin said he had a Water Kirin clone, but he never said that he would only have one clone, the Water Kirin, in the future.

Two days later.

Inside the ice-blue temple, Lu Jin, who was practicing the 11th set of sword techniques from the "Falling Snow Secret Manual," exuded an even stronger aura of the water-based fundamental law.

The eleventh profound principle of the fundamental law of water is complete!
'call--'

A glint flashed in his eyes, and after letting out a long sigh, Lu Jin bowed to the Heavenly Frost King, who had now returned to his throne.

Then, together with the Water Qilin clone in the Great Luo Heaven, they practiced the third set of sword techniques from the "Bloodstained Manual".

The King of Tianshuang smiled and dispersed the ever-repeating ice crystal snowflakes, leaving only a continuously repeating silver, translucent triangular cone in mid-air.

Three more days passed.

Referring to the constantly circulating silver, translucent triangular cone in mid-air above the temple, the human being and the water unicorn clone practiced and compared their techniques, and the third set of sword techniques in the "Bloodstained Manual" was also mastered.

Mastering the third set of sword techniques in "Bloodstained Secret Manual" is equivalent to comprehending the profound mystery of the third fundamental law of space.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

Lu Jin bowed as he sheathed his Ice Soul Sword.

Indeed, in any world, the path of cultivation requires four essential elements: wealth, companions, methods, and location—none of which can be lacking.

And an excellent teacher is precisely the 'partner' among the four essential elements.

The King of Tianshuang shook his head and said, "It is because you have accumulated enough knowledge and have excellent comprehension. I am just adding icing on the cake."

Many people say that good teachers are hard to find, but most people don't realize that in the universe, there are far more good teachers than true geniuses.

Upon reaching the level of immortality, one's lifespan becomes infinite within the universe.

Over the long course of history, the human race has accumulated hundreds of thousands of powerful individuals who have been granted the title of King or higher, among whom there are many skilled instructors.

On the other hand, how many geniuses are worthy of being taken in and nurtured by powerful figures who are granted the title of King in ten thousand epochs?
"Lu Jin, after the Genius Battle ends, the top 1,000 geniuses will all go to the Initial Universe."

Are you planning to return to the Guanghan Star Region, or stay here and head directly to the Initial Universe later?

The King of Tianshuang asked.

"Let's go back to the Moon Star. The next time we go back will be at least several hundred years from now."

Lu Jin said.

The Heavenly Frost King nodded: "Alright, if you encounter any problems later, you can find me in the virtual universe."

After a pause, remembering Zi Nishang, who seemed to have suddenly appeared and whose origins even the Virtual Universe Company couldn't trace, the Heavenly Frost King asked again, "What is your relationship with that Guanghan Immortal?"

He couldn't help but pay attention to the fact that his disciple had an immortal of unknown origin by his side.

As for Lu Jin, is his origin also unknown?

The King of Tianshuang had no interest in knowing where Lu Jin came from. Whether he was a native or from a small family, it didn't matter as long as he was human.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Jin said, "Teacher, Ni Chang is my girlfriend."

The Frost King: "."

One is a tiny creature with a life level only at the stellar level, and the other is an immortal god.
You, Lu Jin, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are already living off a woman at such a young age?
After giving Lu Jin a strange look, the Heavenly Frost King had a thought, and a three-inch-diameter, ice-blue bead with mysterious patterns on its surface and emanating a chill appeared.

"This treasure is one I used before. It's called the Frost Pearl, a soul-type treasure that has the effect of protecting the soul."

Remember this: you can give up any treasure, but you must never be enslaved by your soul.

The Heavenly Frost King waved his right hand lightly, and the Frost Pearl landed in front of Lu Jin. He solemnly instructed him.

"Thank you very much, teacher, for this precious gift. I will remember it."

Lu Jin was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude.

The teacher is indeed generous, offering a soul-level treasure right off the bat!
