Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 56 Life Source Liquid
While marveling at the power of the peaches, Lu Jin carefully observed the changes before and after consuming them.

After calming down, Lu Jin vaguely sensed a strange fluctuation by following that subtle change.

Unsurprisingly, this strange fluctuation is precisely the fluctuation of the fundamental law of water in the primordial universe.

Although the fundamental laws of water seemed to be covered by layers of gauze, and he, with only one level of the water domain, found it very difficult to sense, Lu Jin didn't care.

Comprehend the laws?

This is not something he, the real one, should do; it is something the water unicorn clone that is in the process of being conceived should do.

His talent for cultivating the laws has reached the level of a darling of the primordial laws, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

However, compared to the Water Kirin clone, a special life form that combines the laws of water and space, his talent for cultivating these laws is insignificant.

The gains I made in ten years of diligently studying the Law of Water are probably not even comparable to the gains my Water Qilin clone made in one or two months.

Suddenly, Lu Jin remembered something she had forgotten while she was busy.

Previously, I was busy hunting monsters and leveling up, so I put aside the matter of the clone and forgot to check the gestation time of the water unicorn clone.

As his consciousness sank into the inner world of the primordial core, Lu Jin quickly estimated the birth time of the Water Kirin clone based on the nearly one-day gestation process.

"About thirty years?"

Lu Jin frowned deeply.

If he remembers correctly, the original Genius Battle began in Earth Calendar 2066.

It is now 2057, and there are only about nine years left until the Genius Battle.

Without the Water Kirin clone, given his current cultivation talent and the nine years he still has, becoming a core member of the Virtual Universe Company would probably not be a problem.

But achieving a good ranking, or even first place, is practically impossible.

Of course, the thirty-year gestation period for the Water Kirin clone is not actually that long.

After all, the Water Kirin is a special life form with a life gene level of 120 times, and its original core level is only at the peak of the ninth level of the planetary stage, so the speed at which it can generate clones is naturally not fast.

Even the thirty-year gestation period was due to the fact that the genetic material he used was a whole Qilin egg.

Otherwise, if it were just a single scale or a drop of blood, the gestation period would be even longer.

Just like Luo Feng in the original novel, it took nearly a year and a half for the golden-horned behemoth, a star-level creature, to nurture his human avatar.

However, the thirty-year gestation period for his clone is only calculated based on his current strength.

The higher the pronuclear level, the stronger the internal world, and the shorter the time required to develop a clone.

Once he breaks through to the Stellar level, or even reaches the peak of the ninth rank of the Stellar realm, his strength will increase thousands of times compared to his current level.

While the time required to gestate the Water Kirin clone may not be reduced to a fraction of a fraction, significantly shortening the gestation time will certainly not be a problem.

However, Lu Jin estimated that breaking through to the stellar level was unlikely before he made contact with the universe.

Planetary-level life crystals cannot be used to break through to the stellar level, and there are no stellar-level monsters on Earth. Without obtaining stellar-level life crystals, it would probably take several years to achieve this through self-cultivation alone.

'Looks like it's necessary to give Luo Lao Er a boost.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

To quickly create a Water Kirin clone, it is necessary to make contact with the universe as soon as possible.

Only by going to the universe could he obtain the corpses of stellar-level life forms, thereby harvesting stellar-level life source crystals and rapidly increasing his own level.

There are currently two ways to access the universe. One is to follow the method described by Luo Feng in the original work.

However, this path is not advisable; it is best not to go to the cosmic civilization empire where Earth is located.

To avoid displaying extraordinary talent in the future, attracting the attention of that old man, Big Axe, who would then find Earth and travel back in time to investigate, thus exposing his abnormality.

Secondly, by exploring and traversing the random space of the Kunlun Mirror, we can find a human-inhabited planet that is connected to the universe.

However, although there are many life-bearing planets in the universe, compared to the entire primordial universe, the space occupied by life-bearing planets is pitifully small.

Without specific spatial coordinates, relying solely on uncertain random exploration, he might work himself to death and still not find a planet with life.

Therefore, having a spaceship equipped with a wide range of probes becomes extremely necessary.

He spent some of his own unused apprentice-level life crystals to boost Luo Feng's strength and send him to Fog Island to find Babata.

If Babata is willing to help, obtaining the C5-class Black Dragon Mountain spaceship inside the No. 12 ancient civilization ruins will be a piece of cake.

With the probes on the Heilongshan spacecraft, coupled with the random space exploration and traversal capabilities of the Kunlun Mirror, we will surely be able to find a human-inhabited planet that is connected to the universe in time.

As for going to find Babata himself?
To be honest, if he hadn't cheated, he probably really would have gone.

But since he has cheated and has many 'shameful' secrets, then Babata is definitely not someone we can accept.

After all, Babata will not acknowledge a master until its strength reaches a certain level; it is merely following the instructions left by Huyanbo before its death.

If other paths are viable, there's no need for me to go looking for Babata and ruin my good friend Luo Feng's important opportunity.

'Yao Yao, can the Life Source Crystal appear in other forms? Like a liquid or something?'

As his consciousness entered his sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Jin asked the spirit of the Demon Refining Pot.

The Life Source Crystal has the appearance of an extremely smooth round bead, and it doesn't look like a technological creation.

If the Life Source Crystal could be transformed into a potion like dragon blood, it would undoubtedly be a better way to conceal the true origin of the Life Source Crystal.

For example, this thing is made using alien technology and monster corpses.

Extreme Martial Arts Academy sells Dragon Blood, and I, Lu Jin, sell Liquefied Life Source Crystals. Isn't that normal?
It should be noted that a single Apprentice-level Life Source Crystal can only increase an Apprentice-level martial artist's punching power by 1000kg.

Compared to the effects of dragon blood, a single Life Source Crystal is utterly insignificant.

The only difference is that Life Source Crystal has no drug resistance, can be taken repeatedly, and is extremely inexpensive.

The next moment, a feedback message surged into Lu Jin's mind.

"What? The Life Source Crystal can dissolve in water?"

Upon receiving feedback from Yao Yao, the spirit of the Demon Refining Pot, Lu Jin was taken aback.

To be honest, Lu Jin didn't know that Life Source Crystals could dissolve in water to form a liquid Life Source Crystal version of Life Source Liquid, since they used to be taken orally directly.

Moreover, the Life Source Crystal can not only be mixed with water to form the Life Source Liquid, but when the water in the Life Source Liquid evaporates, it will not revert to the original shape of the Life Source Crystal, but will instead appear as powder.

Yes, that's right. It's normal for medicine to turn into powder after the water dries.

As for the ingredients of this powder?

The universe is vast and full of wonders; there are many things whose components cannot be detected, so there's no need to be alarmed.
