Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 260 Cultivation Plan, Cultivation in Chaos City

Inside Chaos City, Qin Mu sat cross-legged on the rooftop of a residence.

The rooftop is nearly 100 meters long and wide, and it is also carved with some messy and random pictures and texts of different styles, which were obviously left by some powerful people who once lived here in history when they were trying to understand.

He looked up at the sky.

Chaotic air currents swirled in the sky, cracks stretched across the heavens, and intricate patterns flowed, revealing the laws of nature, creating a breathtaking and awe-inspiring scene.

He would occasionally lower his head and ponder.

"I have thoroughly understood the essence of the first five images of the Cosmic Chaos Monument after observing it three times in a row, and I have also gained a lot of insights from the sixth image."

Furthermore, the cosmic rules revealed in the initial universe sky become clearer and more understandable.

After meditating for a while, Qin Mu got up and returned to the living room on the first floor.

"From now on, I will also be cultivating in Chaos City for a period of time."

Lying on the soft fur sofa, holding a cup of tea delivered by the intelligent system, Qin Mu took a sip and then began to think.

As a researcher, he wasn't interested in alcohol, but he did enjoy drinking tea.

"I currently have the recipe for the Immortal stage from Blood of the Abyss. Although I don't need it right now, it's still good to refer to it."

Various studies within the swarm are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The progress of the Seed of Genes at the World Lord level is also very fast. If the experimental subjects of the Flame God Clan that Teacher Chaos City Lord promised can arrive, it will be even faster.

There's no need to worry about those aspects; the main focus now is on improving my own abilities.

Qin Mu pondered the many secret techniques he possessed.

"The Zerg warriors have the inherited memories of twelve peak bloodlines, and they are not lacking in various combat techniques. They have also been cultivating on their own over the years."

"The secret techniques I have mastered include 'Spatial Control', 'Spatial Barrier', and 'Ten Thousand Souls Insect Seal'. In terms of martial arts, I have 'Void Dragon Spear' and 'Dragon Illusion Body'."

"After receiving the inheritance from the Abyss, the body's amplitude has reached 60 times, and the soul's amplitude has reached 64 times. Therefore, the amplitude-based secret technique 'Ten Thousand Soul Insect Seal' is no longer useful."

"The level of the 'Space Barrier' secret technique is also a bit low. It's just the method of a King-level expert. With my current gene multiplier and amplitude, I can no longer keep up."

"Spatial Mastery is still useful; I can spend more time practicing it."

"The levels of 'Dragon Illusion' and 'Dragon Spear of the Void' are even lower. They only cost 12,000 points in total, which is completely inadequate for my strength."

"Weapons and armor are also inadequate. The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel can only unleash the strength of a Marquis at most. Even if it is unleashed at full power, it is still not as good as my casual strike. The Wandering Dragon Spear is only a Tier 5 weapon."

"Only a few divine weapons obtained from the Blood Luo World are passable, but they are not enough to unleash my full power."

After careful consideration, Qin Mu realized that after becoming a Realm Lord and experiencing a leap in strength, almost all the secret techniques, weapons, and equipment he had used in the past were now outdated and he needed to buy new ones.

The only remaining useful secret technique was actually the spatial secret technique he had initially chosen, "Spatial Control."

"My own genetic multiplier is 100 times, the amplitude of the Blood Luo Power is about 60 times, and the talent enhancement can increase it by another two times."

Theoretically speaking, one could achieve 12000 times the power of a World Lord simply by virtue of gene multiplication.

However, in reality, the limit of talent enhancement has already been reached, and the gene multiplier can only be increased to around 10000.

However, in terms of power amplitude, the inheritance from the Abyss can increase it by sixty times, which is six hundred thousand times the power of a World Lord.

Qin Mu calculated his own strength.

In terms of pure power, he has already surpassed the limit of the King-Sealing Realm (possessing approximately 10 times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord), but there is still a considerable gap between him and the invincible King-Sealing Realm (possessing at least one million times the power of a peak ninth-level World Lord).

But this is just power.

A peak-level King-level expert typically comprehends all the mysteries of space. Relying on divine power amplification techniques or offensive methods, their strength can be ten times greater than that of a peak-level King-level expert, easily annihilating a beginner-level King-level expert, and consuming only 5% to 10% of their divine power to kill a peak-level King-level expert.

Qin Mu hadn't grasped any of the profound mysteries; he only understood that the gene multiplier was high and the amplitude was strong.

Even disregarding the limits of a King-level expert, in a real fight without relying on the insect swarm, a high-level King-level expert (possessing approximately 3 times the power of a peak ninth-tier World Lord, typically having comprehended a spatial mystery) burning their divine power might not be a match for him.

As the realm lord, he did not have the means to burn divine power.

Moreover, unlike Luo Feng who possesses treasures like the Wu-Slaying Wings that can harm a divine body, he has little power to inflict damage on a powerful being with an immortal body.

Of course, if the River Treasure is used, it is still possible to block and trap a high-level King-level expert.

"What I lack now is an understanding of the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space and time, but this cannot be rushed and requires time."

"In Chaos City, I can observe the patterns of laws and comprehend the cosmic chaos monument. This is the best place to cultivate the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws."

"So what I lack are combat techniques and weapons capable of harming those who are immortal!"

Qin Mu pondered in his mind, clearly planning his cultivation method.

Generally, those at the realm master level begin to create their own secret techniques, and even weapons.

However, Qin Mu has no such plans yet, as his current resources are not sufficient!

Mystic arts are mainly divided into research and combat types.

The so-called research is to improve one's understanding of the laws through these secret methods and auxiliary items.

The higher one's understanding of the laws, the stronger one's strength will naturally be. In fact, understanding the laws is somewhat similar to "internal energy".

Combat techniques are a method of application; the same understanding of the laws can lead to vastly different combat abilities depending on the application method.

Understanding the laws is internal strength, while combat techniques are skills such as swordsmanship and knife skills.

"A high level of understanding of the laws is fundamental."

"So we should focus our energy on these: secret techniques and treasures. For now, we can just buy them directly."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

He has no shortage of money.

Not to mention the hundreds of billions of mixed resources allocated every year, they also made a lot of money selling world lord-level bloodline potions.

Over the years, Qin Mu has provided the Giant Axe clan with 100 million doses of World Lord bloodline potion, and the founder of the Giant Axe clan has directly paid 2 trillion Chaos Yuan.

That's right, two trillion yuan!

The Chaos City Lord quoted 10,000 Chaos Yuan per tube, but that was the cost price!

What, you're really only offering me the cost price for a World Lord-level bloodline potion?

So the actual price is 20,000 yuan per tube.

Moreover, Qin Mu has just contributed the first World Lord-level bloodline potion in human history, "Blood and Flesh Evolution," to the clan, which should also be counted as a contribution from the clan.

Every pharmacist who subsequently studies "The Evolution of Flesh and Blood" will also need to pay points.

This is similar to Qin Mu purchasing secret techniques like "The True Understanding of the Universe".

However, this sum of money has not yet arrived in the account.

He could also try his luck at the Tongtian Mountain, which was at the realm lord level. Although Qin Mu had not comprehended the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time and space, those were things that only high-level kings could master.

The Tongtian Mountain, at the level of a Realm Lord, is comparable to the level of a typical King.

Qin Mu was confident that he could pass.

In addition, it's about time to release the World Lord-level bloodline potion for the second Universe Lord race, which will bring in another huge income.

With the founder of the Giant Axe setting a base price of 20,000 Hunyuan per tube, subsequent universe masters will most likely accept this price.

These cosmic lords are incredibly wealthy; they can easily buy hundreds of millions of items at a time.

The treasure is out of the question; I definitely can't afford it.

However, ordinary treasures are still worth considering.

For research resources, you can ask Teacher Chaos City Lord.

Qin Mu didn't plan to ask his Chaos City Lord teacher about his weapons and equipment anymore, after all, he was going there for training, not to play house.

The battlefields beyond the borders are teeming with powerful alien races, and the land is rich in wealth. We can simply release the insect swarms to plunder them.

"As for secret techniques, we should at least purchase those at the King-level or even the Venerable level, otherwise we will fall behind again in no time."

After planning his long-term cultivation, Qin Mu opened the virtual universe, intending to carefully select from the treasure vault.

See if there are any suitable secret techniques, weapons, etc.

"Ding-dong—"

A specially marked email arrived. Qin Mu opened it and saw that it was sent by Teacher Chaos City Lord.

"Qin Mu, World Lords need to create their own secret techniques, and World Lords also comprehend them the fastest. You have exceptional talent, and your teacher hopes that you can create a truly unique secret technique of your own, so I won't give you a very powerful one."

But you also need to accumulate knowledge, so your teacher gave you a new batch of secret manuals.

These esoteric manuals comprise 256 sets of ordinary esoteric manuals, primarily intended to provide assistance and reference. They include various categories such as research, weapon crafting, and creating your own esoteric techniques.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up when he saw this. Sure enough, there was a link at the bottom of the email. After clicking on it, Qin Mu found a total of 256 sets of secret techniques.

Although it is described as an ordinary secret technique, it actually reaches at least the level of being granted the title of Marquis or King, which is indeed of great help to Qin Mu.

"In addition, there is a rather precious secret technique, which was created by the teacher when he was young. Although it is not high-level, only at the level of a cosmic overlord, it is enough for you to use."

Since you are a spiritualist and also practice martial arts spear techniques, your teacher made some modifications to make the secret technique more suitable for you.

These secret manuals will be delivered to you shortly.

Ah, this?

Qin Mu was planning to buy it himself, but unexpectedly, the Chaos City Lord sent it over again.

Goodness, now I don't need to look for what suits me, I can just use what the teacher gave me.

With the discerning eye of the Chaos City Lord, his choice is definitely better than mine.

As for the secret manuals, they were specially modified to better suit his needs.

For the Chaos City Lord, what he created in his youth was insignificant, but that was the Chaos City Lord at the level of a universe master!

Not high-level, but a cosmic overlord!

What else is there to say?

As Qin Mu was pondering this, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.

So fast?

Qin Mu quickly stepped forward and opened the door.

An immortal guard from the city lord's mansion stood outside the door, respectfully taking out a spatial ring.

"Your Highness Qin Mu, this is what the Lord of Chaos City asked me to give you. Please accept it."

Qin Mu accepted the spatial ring and thanked him with a smile.

After seeing off the immortal guards, Qin Mu probed his consciousness into his spatial ring.

This spatial ring is not large, only about 10,000 meters in diameter.

Inside, there were large shipping containers filled with thick books, and even the thinnest books were 20 centimeters thick.

The thickest book is a full meter long, a meter wide, and half a meter thick, and is made entirely of gold metal!

Besides the books, there was also an old-fashioned long spear next to it, which looked quite ordinary.

But Qin Mu knew that this spear was probably no ordinary weapon; if his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, were to use it, it must be at least a powerful treasure.

Aside from the cultivation technique secret realm and the long spear, the other areas were filled with several corpses.

The corpses of the Flame God Clan!

"The next step is to focus on cultivation."
