Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 262 Ten Years of Cultivation! The Mystery of the Yan God Clan

Inside the residence in Chaos City.

Qin Mu looked at the golden metal book in front of him. This precious secret technique created by his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, in his youth was called "Nine Revolutions of the Star River".

After quickly skimming through it to get a general idea of ​​the contents, Qin Mu began to read it carefully.

The book "Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy" first details the various realms of cultivation.

Immortal God—Universal Sovereign—Universal Overlord—Lord of the Universe.

The text also mentions at the end that there is an even higher realm beyond the Lord of the Universe, but it does not explain it in detail.

After reading it, Qin Mu gained a clearer understanding of the powerful beings in the vast universe based on the information contained therein.

In the past, although he had a general understanding of the division of strength, it came from his memories of his previous life.

That was just a very vague concept; the details were unknown.

"A king-level expert is considered a top-tier expert in the outer battlefield."

In the vast universe, the Hongmeng Alliance, led by our human race, has only had over 300 million members who have been granted the title of King and achieved immortality.

There are tens of thousands of cosmic venerables, who can be considered regional lords.

The cosmic overlords are even fewer in number and represent the pinnacle of power within their respective groups.

And the Lord of the Universe is the most supreme being among the most powerful races, humanity.

Qin Mu pondered to himself that although this intelligence information was public information, it was impossible to know it without reaching a certain level of authority.

"Nine Turns of the Galaxy" is divided into nine levels.

Once you master the first three levels, you will be invincible below the level of "Cosmic Venerable".

Once you master the first six levels, you will be invincible below the 'Universe Overlord' level.

Once you master the ninth level, you will be invincible below the "Lord of the Universe".

If one can master the "Nine Revolutions of the Star River", one can even use it to step into the realm of the Lord of the Universe!

The novel "Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy" tells us that the universe contains ten fundamental laws: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, space, and time. At the beginning of the universe, there were only two powerful laws.

One type is broken down into six fundamental laws: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and space. The other type is broken down into four fundamental laws: wind, lightning, light, and time.

This created two factions.

The Spatial School considers space as the superior principle, while metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are considered inferior principles.

The Time faction considers time as the superior law, while lightning, wind, and light are inferior laws.

……

To fully comprehend the laws of space is to become a master of space.

To fully comprehend the laws of time is to become a Time Master.

Meanwhile, the one who fully comprehends time and space, truly controls time and space, and possesses incredible superpowers such as time-space reversal, is the 'Lord of the Universe'.

Cultivating "time and space" is the most common path among billions of races in the universe, and 99.9% of the universe's venerable beings follow this path.

This is the most orthodox path of law, a righteous road leading to the Lord of the Universe!

"I remember that in the original timeline, Luo Feng initially followed the path of the Beast God, and by integrating the Golden Void Law, he could eventually become the Lord of the Universe."

But that kind of unorthodox approach, in the end, only gets you to the level of a born beast god, right?

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

In the study of bloodlines, one route of genetic enhancement within the swarm ultimately leads to the level of a born beast god.

The seed of genes also follows this direction.

But Qin Mu only intended to absorb the best bloodlines and genes from them.

While using the Seed of Genes to evolve to the top level does offer advantages for those following the Beast God route, it does not preclude them from following the Law route.

For example, Luo Feng later switched from the Beast God path to the Law path, and there was no conflict between them.

Qin Mu devoted himself to studying the first level of "Nine Turns of the Star River".

The requirements for practicing the "Nine Revolutions of the Star River" are very high.

The first requirement is to comprehend the first three levels of the "Cosmic Chaos Monument," which means comprehending the 108 essential aspects of the laws of space and time.

But this is just the beginning.

Only by grasping the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time and space can one be said to have truly comprehended the first level.

"The average immortal military lord only has a superficial understanding of the fundamental laws of space and time."

Only those who have been granted the title of Marquis have a deep understanding of the laws of space and time, and have gained recognition from the fundamental laws of space.

At the King level, one has a deep understanding of the laws of space. The advanced King level generally has already comprehended one of the three profound mysteries of the laws of space (blockade, strangulation, and teleportation).

At the peak of the King-level realm, one can typically comprehend two levels: the King-level Limit, the King-level Invincible, or even all three.

"I have gained recognition from the Ten Fundamental Laws, which is equivalent to being granted the title of Marquis."

The next stage is to comprehend the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws governing space and time.

Qin Mu pondered this in his heart.

"Among the twelve peak-level bloodline star beasts, one possesses two top-tier talents: spatial sealing and time stopping!"

"It corresponds perfectly to one of the profound laws of space and time, and this is my best breakthrough point."

"By studying the bloodline of the Starry Sky Beasts at the same time, I can learn the first level of the 'Nine Revolutions of the Star River' much faster than ordinary people."

Qin Mu's eyes shone with excitement as he continued to peruse "Nine Revolutions of the Star River".

The first half of the first layer contains guidance on comprehending the laws, mainly focusing on cultivating and understanding the profound mysteries of the laws.

The second half, however, describes four secret techniques.

One set of melee attack techniques, one set of telekinetic weapon attacks, one set of soul defense, and one set of escape techniques.

"Isn't there a secret method for amplitude manipulation?"

"By the way, the teacher knows that my body's amplitude has already increased by 60 times after receiving the Abyss Inheritance, so there's no need to give me any more amplitude-enhancing techniques."

"It has everything: attack, defense, and escape."

Qin Mu glanced at the four sets of secret techniques, but instead of immediately starting to practice them, he picked up a long spear.

The ancient-looking spear given to me by the Lord of Chaos City.

"Star Spear!"

Along with the Star Gun, a set of manuals with gray covers was also delivered.

The book details the refining and usage of the Star Spear.

This is a weapon suitable for those who cultivate the laws of space and time. Only by mastering the fundamental laws of space can the fundamental laws of time be used perfectly.

The Star Spear may look simple, but it is actually covered with mysterious patterns, and when activated, stars appear and disappear.

"This Star Spear is actually paired with the attack techniques in 'Nine Revolutions of the Galaxy'?"

Qin Mu's eyes were thoughtful.

Clearly, this is not a coincidence, but rather something tailor-made for Teacher Chaos City Lord.

"I have the secret techniques and combat methods! It's time to start practicing."

……

Then Qin Mu began his years of cultivation in Chaos City.

Every day, Qin Mu would sit cross-legged on the rooftop of his cultivation residence, sometimes looking up at the sky to observe the operation of the external universe's laws. While cultivating the "Nine Revolutions of the Star River," he also studied the 256 sets of ordinary secret techniques given to him by his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City.

Within the inner world, a colossal star beast with peak bloodline would occasionally cast a spatial blockade, freezing time.

Inside the mother nest, there were also giant beasts such as the Destroyer Beast and the Mountain and Valley Beast lying in the flesh and blood chamber, allowing Qin Mu to study the innate runes imprinted on their bodies and original cores.

It analyzes the underlying principles from the inside out, and also includes comparative studies.

Occasionally, Qin Mu would visit the City Lord's Mansion to personally observe the Chaos Stele, and he could also freely attend classes under the tutelage of some King-level Immortals, which allowed Qin Mu to rapidly improve his understanding of the laws.

time flies.

Perfecting the research on the seed of genes, the evolution of the insect swarm, and dedicated cultivation...

From time to time, Qin Mu would also discuss bloodlines and genes with Teacher Yu Chen, helping Teacher Yu Chen master the World Lord level bloodline potion.

Or, if they encounter some problems that they simply cannot understand, they will ask the Chaos City Lord for advice.

Qin Mu was like a precise machine, steadily moving forward, or like a parched desert, frantically absorbing nutrients.

……

Nearly 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"The Yan God Clan is truly extraordinary; it took them ten years to achieve even a slight result."

"I was a bit too ambitious when I told Luo Feng we'd have three years."

Qin Mu mocked himself in his inner world.

While cultivating, Qin Mu naturally did not neglect his research in various aspects, but carried them out simultaneously.

Research on the seed of genes is a key aspect of this.

Over the years, he had been doing things too smoothly, encountering almost no obstacles, which made Qin Mu somewhat arrogant.

When I was talking to Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen, I had just obtained the corpse of the Yan Shen Clan.

At that time, he felt that he could study the secrets of the Yan God Clan within three years and increase Luo Feng's gene multiplier tenfold without any mutations.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

This creature was created by a god-king level powerhouse who spent countless efforts and years acquiring wealth and treasures in the earliest stages of the universe's evolution, all for the purpose of revenge!

Even a failed product should not be underestimated.

As the Mountain Dweller once lamented, talent and aptitude are easy to improve, but the transformation of the soul is much more difficult.

That's why they later spent more time and effort thinking and trying every possible method to eventually guide and give birth to the Earth's lineage.

The human soul on Earth is pure and naturally amazing.

There is also the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," which allows cultivators to continuously elevate and improve their physical genes, reaching the genetic level of some rare and heaven-defying races in the universe.

The innate advantage of the soul, combined with the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," is the best combination in the eyes of the Mountain Dweller.

Unfortunately, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is resisted by the laws of the universe, and can only be cultivated by one person when combined with the Heavenly Soul Crystal.

But this only highlights the uniqueness of the Yan God Clan.

The Mountain Hermit did not prepare the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" for them.

That's right, the soul transformation of the Yan God Clan is difficult!

But what about physically?

This means that their physical talents, or rather their genetic multipliers, can be improved on their own without the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual"!

Although this kind of improvement is extremely difficult, only a very small number of elite members of the Flame God Clan have a slight chance of transformation.

Even so, it is still extremely amazing.

"In terms of physical potential, even a peak-bloodline behemoth like the Golden Horned Beast is far inferior."

Although Qin Mu made a self-deprecating remark, there was no trace of frustration in his expression; on the contrary, he was full of excitement.

At first, when Qin Mu was studying the Yan God Clan, he did not find anything unusual.

I just feel that although the Yan God Clan has great talent, they are only slightly stronger than the physically powerful Domain Lord Clan like the Manka Star.

But as his research deepened, he quickly realized something was wrong.

"Haha, it's impossible to thoroughly study the Yan God Clan in a short period of time."

Even this small achievement is enough to advance my second-stage perfect divine body further, and make it easier for me to carry the third-generation gene seed!

The gene multiplication rate increase that Luo Feng mentioned can also be achieved.

Qin Mu's expression was one of excitement.

After ten years, Luo Feng must have gotten impatient; it's time for the third-generation gene seed to be born.
