Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 124 Innate Dao Body, Yuxiang Mountain
‘Shua——’

Lu Jin appeared in the ginseng fruit orchard.

Looking around, Lu Jin saw a square garden with no gate, high walls on all four sides, and a side length of 100 meters.

In the very center of the garden, there is a fruit tree that is more than ten meters tall.

The roots of the ginseng fruit tree resemble coiled dragons, its branches are like iron trunks stretching across the sky, and its fruit and leaves are like carved jade, exuding the aura of the laws of wood.

Hanging among the lush branches and leaves are ginseng fruits shaped like infants, with all four limbs, distinct features, and a faint smile in their eyes. They are as smooth as jade and shimmer with colorful light.

Without much hesitation, Lu Jin unleashed his mental power and directly picked all 30 ripe ginseng fruits from the tree, storing them in the absolutely safe external storage space.

Based on the feedback received after refining the ginseng fruit garden, his Star-Swallowing version of ginseng fruit does not have the characteristics of 'falling when it encounters gold, withering when it encounters wood, dissolving when it encounters water, scorching when it encounters fire, and entering when it encounters soil,' so there is no need to pay attention to the harvesting method.

Lu Jin took out a ginseng fruit, intending to try it and, incidentally, achieve a thousandfold increase in life genes.

But suddenly, Lu Jin thought of another important point.

After a moment's thought, he put the ginseng fruit in his hand into his external storage space.

He will then go to the initial universe.

The Chaos City Lord, who oversees the Initial Universe, will thoroughly examine all geniuses entering the Initial Universe to prevent the five major human powers from benefiting other races or even nurturing them into threats.

He already has a hundred times the life gene, which is already quite high-profile. If he were to achieve a thousand times the gene, it would undoubtedly be too high-profile.

Given his demonstrated talent, coupled with the presence of Teacher Tian Shuang behind him, such a high profile wouldn't be a bad thing; on the contrary, it would make the Virtual Universe Company pay more attention to him.

It's even possible that a powerful figure will be secretly assigned to protect them later.

But Lu Jin didn't actually want this kind of attention.

As a cheater, he has too many abnormalities, and he doesn't want to have powerful figures secretly following him in the future.

Even if the powerful person's purpose was only to protect him, not to monitor him.

Moreover, in Lu Jin's view, the greatest effect of ginseng fruit is to refine it and then generate a clone from its original nucleus, rather than to enhance life genes.

Because when it comes to enhancing life genes, peaches are enough.

With the low-grade and mid-grade peach orchards already established, there will certainly be high-grade peach orchards in the future.

The upper limit of the efficacy of low-grade flat peaches is ten times the life gene, while the upper limit of the efficacy of medium-grade flat peaches is one hundred times the life gene.

Therefore, the upper limit of the efficacy of top-grade peaches should be at least a thousand times that of life genes, and it is even possible that the upper limit of efficacy could be as high as 10081 times that of perfect genes.

There are many flat peaches, but few ginseng fruits.

Even if one of the latter is worth a thousand of the former, due to the large number of peach trees, thousands of top-quality peaches would still seem much cheaper than ginseng fruit.

Of course, Lu Jin wouldn't just wait idly.

If the original core level breaks through to the realm master level, and the realm master level treasure chest given by the cheat fails to open the Peach Garden, then...

The main body, the Water Qilin clone, and the Netherworld Blood Sea clone will all consume a ginseng fruit, increasing their life genes by a thousandfold.

Furthermore, if he can fuse a large amount of Blood Crystals in the future, and the amplification effect of the 'Blood Crystal Power' is large enough, and with the foundation of a thousand times the life gene, there is a chance to become a perfect gene, he will definitely eat the ginseng fruit.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven.

"When cultivating with external objects, the lower the life level, the less energy is required to cultivate secret techniques?"

On the nine-colored throne, looking at the introduction page of the "Innate Dao Body" secret technique in his hand, Lu Jin raised his eyebrows.

The Secret Method of "Innate Dao Body" has 13 pages of gold seals. Pages 1 and 13 are the cover, and page 2 is the introduction.

The introduction states that, assuming the level remains unchanged, this applies to both the first and tenth innate diagrams.

If you cultivate solely using external objects, the cultivation efficiency and the energy required are the same; there is no situation where you start with the easy methods and then move to the difficult ones.

Pages 3 to 12 contain a diagram of the innate Dao body and a diagram of the innate Dao soul on each side, with each diagram corresponding to 10 times the amplitude of the body (divine body) or the soul.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Jin took out a large number of cosmic-level life source crystals and began cultivating in accordance with the first innate Dao Soul diagram.

Since the lower the life level, the less energy is required to cultivate the innate Dao body and innate Dao soul.

So unless the cultivation efficiency is too slow, I will not increase my level for the time being, and wait until I achieve a hundredfold increase in body amplitude and a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude.

Of course, the Water Kirin clone did not change its original upgrade plan and continued to refine the Domain Lord-level Life Source Crystal to quickly raise its level to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord.

His original core is somewhat special. When breaking through to a higher level, the Water Kirin clone cannot break through before the original core.

At most, when the original core begins to break through, the water unicorn clone will follow closely behind and break through as well.

However, for minor level upgrades, the original core must rely on the highest-level clone to drive the upgrade.

Without elevating the Water Kirin clone to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord, and then bringing the original core level to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord, how can the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, which is still being nurtured in the inner world of the original core, be brought to the world as soon as possible?

One week later, the world inside the body.

After consuming a total of 122,880 Domain Lord-level Life Source Crystals, the Water Kirin clone finally managed to raise both its mental power and primal force cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord.

After carefully observing the colorful giant egg, which was hundreds of kilometers high and suspended above the Nine-Colored Continent, for a long time, Lu Jin roughly calculated the birth time of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone.

Two and a half years!

Compared to the 100-year gestation time when the original core was at the peak of the ninth level of the universe, now that the original core has reached the peak of the ninth level of the domain lord, the gestation time of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone has been shortened to about one-fortieth.

In addition, by consuming cosmic-level life source crystals, Lu Jin's main body also cultivated the innate Dao Soul diagram with very high efficiency.

In just seven days, the cultivation progress of the first Innate Dao Soul Diagram had already reached three-tenths.

In other words, Lu Jin now possesses a soul amplitude of 3 times, which, if converted into psychic power amplitude, would be as much as 300 times.

Lu Jin only spent one day cultivating the first Innate Dao Soul Diagram. Because the amplitude of his mental power had already reached a hundredfold, he only needed to modify his soul. Including the time it took to learn the secret technique, he also spent a lot of time on it.

The subsequent second and third times the soul amplitude were completed in just three days.

The cultivation efficiency of the ten Innate Dao Soul Diagrams is equal. At this pace, he will be able to complete the cultivation of the Innate Dao Soul Chapter in less than ten months and achieve a hundredfold increase in soul amplitude.

It is no exaggeration to say that with a hundred times the life genes, plus a hundred times the soul amplitude after mastering the Innate Dao Soul Chapter.

Even setting aside the advantage in understanding the laws, the sheer mental power, which is at least ten thousand times stronger than that of a mentalist of the same level, is enough to allow the current avatar, at the first level of the universe, to leapfrog an entire major level and easily defeat a first-level domain lord.

Moreover, since the clone and the original share the same soul, the original master cultivated a soul amplitude of 3 times, and the water unicorn clone naturally also had a soul amplitude of 3 times.

Of course, if the main body practices the Innate Dao Body Chapter, then because the main body and the clone share the same soul but different bodies, they will each practice their own.

Therefore, after the Water Kirin clone rapidly raised its level to the peak of the ninth rank of Domain Lord, it began cultivating the Innate Dao Body chapter.

Five more days passed.

When the virtual universe company's pick-up spaceship arrived, Lu Jin and Luo Feng, who had already said goodbye, stood in the starry sky outside Guanghan Star, waiting for the pick-up spaceship to arrive.

Before long, a triangular spaceship with a blue body flew out from the depths of the starry sky and hovered in front of the two of them.

"Let's go." Lu Jin patted Luo Feng on the shoulder.

Since both of them wrote addresses on Guanghan Star, Virtual Universe Company did not send a second pick-up spaceship.

"Ah."

Luo Feng nodded slightly, and the two flew towards the distant cyan triangular spaceship.

This is a triangular spaceship that is about 800 meters long, more than 400 meters wide at its widest point, and about 100 meters thick. It is entirely blue and the outer shell of the spaceship is made of F6-class meteorite copper mother.

Before the two could get close, the spaceship's hatch opened, and a group of figures flew out.

Aside from some purple markings on his skin, the leader looked much like an Earthling. He was burly, bald, and at first glance, seemed like the embodiment of thunder.

'Lightning is immortal!'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Perhaps it was a special privilege reserved for members of the Primal Realm, but the escorts who came to pick them up were led by an Immortal.

"Gore greets Your Highnesses."

The bald, burly man bowed slightly and said.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses."

The group of realm lords and domain lords behind the bald, burly man bowed respectfully.

The bald, burly man, Gore, laughed and said, "Your Highnesses, let's get on the spaceship first. It will take three years to get to the company headquarters, and we shouldn't waste any more time."

"Everything will be arranged by Mr. Gore."

Lu Jin and his companion returned the greeting.

Then, surrounded by a group of people, the two flew into the F-class meteorite mothership.

The spaceship had a large interior, and following Gore, the two arrived at a luxurious hall.

The hall is very spacious, measuring over 300 meters long and nearly 150 meters wide.

In the center of the hall, there were several sofas, and on the coffee table in front of the sofas, fine wines and rare fruits were laid out. There were also many beautiful maids waiting for orders.

After the three took their seats, and after giving Lu Jin and his companion a general introduction to the four secret realms of 'Primordial,' 'Beginning,' 'Heaven and Earth,' and 'Apocalypse,' the bald, burly man, Gore, got down to business.

"Your Highnesses, the journey has begun. I have arranged a rest room for you."

"Please enter the virtual universe shortly, Your Highnesses. I will then guide you to the virtual headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company."

Gore said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Gore."

Nodding, the two each entered a luxurious lounge and then logged into the virtual universe.

Meanwhile, the triangular meteorite mother ship had already entered the dark universe, its speed constantly increasing. After reaching more than 30 times the speed of light, it continued to move forward at this constant speed in the dark universe.

……

Virtual universe, a special dimension.

A colossal, suspended mountain, much larger than many ordinary planets in reality, stands amidst endless clouds and mist.

On a street paved with bluestone in the mountains, two figures suddenly appeared; they were Lu Jin and Luo Feng.

"Your Highnesses."

A bald, burly man strode quickly from the front of the street.

“Mr. Gore.”

Lu Jin greeted Luo Feng.

Gore said with a smile, "Your Highnesses, this dimensional space is the virtual headquarters of our Virtual Universe Company."

Afterwards, Gore led Lu Jin and the other person around, explaining as he went: "The mountain peak we are in, which is suspended in the clouds, is called 'Yuxiang Mountain'. It has a diameter of about 8.9 kilometers and gathers the core members of the company below the Immortal level."

The entire Yuxiang Mountain is divided into five areas: the Primordial Area, the Primordial Area, the Heavenly Area, the Apocalypse Area, and the Public Area. These five areas are roughly the same size.

The Primordial Zone has the fewest people, with no more than 120; the Primordial Zone has about a thousand people; the Celestial Zone has about ten thousand people; and the Doomsday Zone has tens of millions of people.

As for the public areas, everyone in all four areas can enter.

However, members of each zone are not allowed to enter other zones except for the public areas.

"The five districts are roughly the same size, but the post-apocalyptic district has tens of millions of people, while the primitive district has less than 120 people. Is it really necessary to be this big?"

Luo Feng asked with some confusion.

"Perhaps in the eyes of the Virtual Universe Company, the importance of a few hundred people in the Primitive Zone is no less than that of tens of millions of people in the Post-Apocalyptic Zone?"

Lu Jin said something.

What Lu Jin didn't say was that the hundreds of people in the primitive zone were no less important than the tens of millions of people in the post-apocalyptic zone.

Rather, it is the hundreds of people in the original zone whose importance and value far exceed those of the tens of millions in the post-apocalyptic zone.

Among at least a hundred people in the Primal Zone, some have the hope of becoming a Universal Venerable.

Of the tens of millions of people in the apocalyptic zone, none will become a supreme being of the universe without a major opportunity.

Gore nodded and said, "Your Highness Lu Jin is right. The company's expectation for members of the Primal Zone is that they become strong among the immortals, or even cosmic venerables who control time or space."

As for the members of the post-apocalyptic zone, the company's expectations for them were far lower; achieving immortality was already a great fortune.

Reaching a higher vantage point, Gore pointed to a massive island shrouded in lightning amidst the distant clouds and said, “Your Highnesses, please look, that is Thunder Island.”

Thunder Island, also known as Immortal Island, is hundreds or thousands of times larger than Rain Mountain.

All the immortals of the Virtual Universe Corporation generally reside there.

If Rain Mountain is a gathering place for geniuses below the Immortal level, then Thunder Island is the gathering place for Immortals and truly powerful individuals.

Before long, after walking through several streets, the two followed Gore onto a magnificent and wide white marble road.

Beside the wide white marble road, there are flowerbeds, which, through different colored flowers and plants, form three universal scripts—'Primitive Zone'.

Although Gore is immortal, he is only a member of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm and does not have the authority to enter the Primal Zone.

After expressing their gratitude, Lu Jin and Luo Feng continued along the white marble road.

Less than a minute after continuing forward, the two arrived at the main entrance of the primitive area.
