Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 306 Gene Enhancement and the Secret Pattern School

"This way, please."

Prince Canxin pushed open the door to the reception room and led the way.

Qin Mu followed behind, heading towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

When he saw Tiancang King and the others, Qin Mu stopped and said.

"Gentlemen, I'll go upstairs and see if there are any suitable treasures."

If you all have something to do, please go ahead. If you're free, I'll treat you all to drinks after I'm done looking around!

King Tiancang saw that King Canxin, the deputy head of Yubao Hall, was leading the way, which meant that the previous transaction had obviously been completed.

"Haha, nothing's wrong with me."

King Tiancang laughed, "He came here specifically to build a good relationship with Qin Mu, so why would he leave at this time?"

The other powerful figures around them also responded, none of them intending to leave.

After exchanging greetings, Qin Mu didn't linger and followed Prince Canxin upstairs.

Nine beautiful women from various ethnic groups stood beside the hundred-meter-wide staircase. Seeing that their deputy leader was personally leading the way, they all showed even greater respect.

Qin Mu easily passed through the light curtain on the stairs and entered the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, the second floor is significantly more spacious, and the number of treasures is also greatly reduced.

"The treasures on the first floor are mostly suitable for those who have reached the King level, while the treasures on the second floor are mostly suitable for those above the Venerable level."

"This is what King Canxin introduced," he said.

"Um."

Qin Mu nodded, but didn't rush to find the remains of the three special life forms. Instead, he first looked at the treasures.

"The Soul-Destroying Aurora is a mysterious light sourced and stored from a secret realm in the universe. Once released, even an ordinary Universe Venerable would be injured, and those below the Universe Venerable level would undoubtedly die."

"Annihilation weapon, annihilation energy exists in a certain secret realm of the universe."

The Annihilation Wind is a 'wind' formed from peculiar substances in the secret realm of the universe. Deep within the secret realm, even a cosmic venerable being would have their immortal divine body pulverized and annihilated like powder by the Annihilation Wind.

This annihilation weapon was crafted by gathering the annihilation winds from the core of a secret realm. Anyone struck by it, even a cosmic venerable, would be severely injured or even perish…

With just a glance, Qin Mu was astonished. Any two of these treasures could severely injure a Universe Venerable, and anyone below that level would surely die if they were even slightly touched.

Looking at the prices, the Soul Extinction Aurora is priced at 10 trillion Chaos Yuan, while the Annihilation Wind has no price at all and requires a defensive treasure to exchange for it!

Along the way, they saw more than a dozen kinds of treasures, almost none of which were worth less than ten trillion Hunyuan. Most of them could not be purchased with Hunyuan, or required corresponding heavy treasures or other precious treasures.

For example, when Qin Mu saw a precious bow and arrow, he made it clear that he would only exchange it for a treasure that could increase his gene multiplier!

There are quite a few similar treasures that can be used to increase gene density.

"A treasure for enhancing genes?"

Qin Mu's heart stirred at the sight of these treasures. None of them were something he could afford, but if it was about increasing his gene multiplier, it wouldn't be too difficult for him.

While researching the second-generation perfect divine body, he made significant progress in adjusting gene multipliers. Improving his genes by up to 100 times was as easy as eating and drinking for him.

Although it also requires a lot of precious treasures, the cost is much less compared to other people's upgrades.

"That's right, the genetic multiplier of most Cosmic Venerables in the human race is about 10 times."

How astonishing is the wealth of a cosmic sage?

Even a beginner-level Venerable in the universe has a net worth of dozens of treasure points!

Even so, most of them only have ten times the genetic potential.

Treasures in the universe that can increase gene multiplication are extremely rare, and most can only increase it by less than ten times!

Don't assume that Qin Mu's acquisition of hundreds of millions of Blood Crystals was easy.

Blood Crystals are found only in the Blood Crystal World among human races.

Only the universe-level beings of the five core forces can enter the Blood Luo World. How many Blood Luo Crystals can a universe-level being obtain?

Even if you obtain it, Blood Crystals cannot be transferred or sold.

If it's going to be sold, it can only be to Virtual Universe Company!

Moreover, fusing Blood Crystals is extremely difficult. It's already quite good if an ordinary person can fuse three to become a Blood Warrior, and fusing ten to become a Black Warrior is practically harder than climbing to heaven.

One such person might not appear in the Blood Luo Continent even once every billion years.

To increase gene multiplication using Blood Crystals, most people still need to fuse them into the Blood of the Beast God.

Treasures like the Blood Crystal, whenever they appear in Hongmeng City, will inevitably appear at auctions, attracting numerous Venerables to vie for them.

"Human powerhouses who have used the Seed of Gene to enhance their bloodline will find it much easier to use Blood Crystals."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

The Seed of Genes follows the path of the Starry Sky Beast, while the Peak Bloodline Starry Sky Beast is a descendant of the Beast God, making fusion much easier.

Unfortunately, the Seed of Genes appeared too late, only a few hundred years ago.

Even the stronger ones have only just reached the Immortal level, and there is still a considerable gap between them and the levels of King or Venerable.

The weaker the Seed of Genes is, the better it is to use.

When one's strength reaches a certain level, it becomes extremely difficult to evolve one's bloodline genes through life-or-death battles.

Which cosmic master would dare to risk ten or a hundred life-or-death battles for that little bit of genetic transformation?

Moreover, most of their genes have already increased tenfold, so the gene seed has little effect.

"Before researching how to break through the 100-fold gene limit, perhaps we could first study how to enable the strongest members of the human race to break through from a 10-fold gene limit to a 100-fold gene limit in a relatively easy way!"

This matter may not be of great significance to Qin Mu; it is merely a transitional phase in his research.

But for the human race, it has a much greater significance.

There are only about 10,000 universe-level beings in the human race. If each of them had a hundred times the genetic power, it would be almost equivalent to a tenfold increase in strength!

This is a tenfold increase in the top combat power of the human race!

"This looks like it has a lot of potential!"

The Cosmic Venerables are among the wealthiest people. If there were a way to increase their genes a hundredfold, most of these powerful individuals would be willing to give up everything they own.

Only after the genes of the human race's kings and cosmic venerables have been enhanced a hundredfold will it be meaningful to discuss the method of breaking the limit a hundredfold.

Otherwise, only a handful of people could be promoted.

"Let's treat this as preliminary research for breaking through the limits of gene expression by a hundredfold."

Qin Mu has absolute confidence in his genetic research.

Among the twelve peak-bloodline behemoths of the Zerg swarm, the Golden Horned Behemoth's genes are 90 times stronger! The others are also 70 to 80 times stronger!

The first-generation stable, perfect divine body, the Hive Tyrant, has a hundredfold gene boost, and Qin Mu has already started wholesaling them.

The second-generation perfect divine body has reached a thousand times greater!

"With the experience of the first-generation Zergling Tyrant, plus the newly acquired batch of special genes, success is only a matter of time."

Having made up his mind, Qin Mu followed King Canxin forward, and King Canxin would occasionally stop to explain some treasures that interested Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was familiar with genetics and special life forms, but he didn't know much about other aspects.

With King Canxin's introduction, Qin Mu gained a general understanding of these weapons and treasures, so that he wouldn't be completely clueless if he encountered them in the future.

"This is a secret weapon, a path that some races once researched in the outer battlefields."

By combining various secret patterns, it ultimately forms a number of abilities such as repulsion detection and spatial sealing.

King Canxin walked up to a treasure that resembled an arm guard.

"It is called the Arm of Locking the Void. It contains a complex structure of Void Runes. Once an energy source is provided, the Void Runes can be dispersed in the void."

The entire area is under control.

The best energy source is an immortal divine power crystal. Do not use your own immortal divine power, because the secret rune weapon is extremely powerful and consumes an astonishing amount of energy. Moreover, this consumption is completely depleted. If you use your own immortal divine power, it is equivalent to burning your immortal divine body, which is not worth it.

There are various immortal divine power crystals in the universe; the stronger the energy they contain, the longer they can be used.

The "Arm of Locking the Void" function is to completely lock the spatial fluctuations within the "Void Rune" dispersion area.

"Cannot teleport!"

Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this equivalent to the spatial sealing comprehended by a King-level expert?

It can be used as long as there is energy, and the range is extremely large!

The range of the locked-in arm can be divided into three levels.

First, an area with a dispersion radius of 1 kilometers.

Second, the region with a dispersion radius of 10 kilometers.

Third, the region with a dispersion radius of 100 million kilometers.

The spatial blockade of a typical King-level expert is only about 10,000 kilometers!

Its maximum range is comparable to that of a top-tier treasure in the realm.

"Luo Feng later obtained such a treasure on the Yanji Continent in the outer battlefield."

Qin Mu wasn't particularly interested in the Arm of Locking the Sky.

What interests him are the secret patterns on it!

"Does our human race have a corresponding lineage for these secret runes?"

Qin Mu asked.

"No, at least from the information I have, the human race has not mastered the secret rune inheritance!"

Moreover, the clan that once possessed the secret rune inheritance has been destroyed.

King Canxin shook his head.

Qin Mu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he was also researching the secret patterns.

Both peak-blooded star-sky behemoths and special life forms have similar secret patterns on their bodies.

Their talent comes precisely from these secret patterns.

Once you master the secret patterns within, you can use the secret techniques within!

Qin Mu was able to inscribe hundreds of talents into the fourth-generation gene and let it choose at will because he mastered the secret pattern structure of those hundreds of talents!

The core technology of the fourth-generation gene is to control genes and allow corresponding talent runes to evolve within the gene seed.

Qin Mu knew very well that his mastery of secret runes was at best only at the beginner level.

Because he knew that there were 64 secret rune diagrams in the universe, and that as long as these 64 secret rune diagrams were thoroughly analyzed, he could master all the innate secret techniques in the world.

The 64 secret rune diagrams are located in the sacred land of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Beast God Realm.

That was a plane space within the small universe of the Starry Sky Ancestor, where countless secret techniques and ultimate skills existed, including the ultimate and peak techniques of the Lord of the Universe.

The time flow rate between the original universe and the Beast God Realm is 1:10081. 10081 years have passed inside, while only one year has passed outside!

But the most precious things there are the sixty-four statues of beast gods.

There are eight innate beast gods, and each innate beast god has eight beast god statues.

The rules governing the universe can be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, wind, lightning, time, space, and so on. They can also be divided into eight major laws of integration.

The Eight Great Beast Gods are the embodiment of the Eight Great Fusion Laws.

The 64 Secret Patterns are a perfect interpretation of the Eight Beast Gods born from nature.

View the 64 Beast God statues and comprehend the 64 Secret Pattern diagrams. If you can master them, you can evolve all the most powerful secret techniques in the world!

After Luo Feng reached the perfect gene, which is 10081 times, he obtained the strongest talent "I am the universe" bestowed by the original cosmic will, which also evolved from 64 secret rune diagrams!

You don't even need to fully understand it; you can create secret techniques simply by starting from the perspective of the rune diagrams and using the 64 rune diagrams as individual elements.

As long as you memorize the 64 rune patterns, you can follow this path for the structure of each rune pattern.

Qin Mu's mastery of those talent runes was simply not enough to qualify him for these 64 rune diagrams, because they were too low-level.

How incredibly defying the heavens!

This is a great road, a road leading to the highest road.

Even before the Great Cataclysm, there were strong individuals who walked this path.

Luo Feng was able to create the ultimate secret technique of the universe master while in immortality because the Mountain Guest arranged for him to enter the Beast God Realm to observe the 64 Beast God statues.

At that time, Luo Feng already possessed the Nine Netherworld Avatar and had reached the level of perfect genetic life, receiving the strongest talent secret technique from the primordial universe.

By observing the 64 Beast God statues, it was quickly discovered that the miniature cosmic runes after the strongest secret technique was cast were simply a complex combination of the 64 runes.

However, the path of cultivating the Secret Pattern has never been traversed since the birth of the primordial universe. Before the Great Cataclysm, it was extremely secretive and rare, with very few cultivators.

The main issue is the 64 rune diagrams, which very few people are qualified to see. Even if they do see them, without the guidance of a perfect rune diagram with the strongest secret techniques, it is difficult to understand them.

The path of cultivating secret runes is not perfect. Its weakness is that its foundation is not solid enough, but its advantage is that when inspiration strikes, one can occasionally create a heaven-defying ultimate move.

"This path is perfect for me."

"While I'm studying bloodline genes, I'm also studying their talent rune patterns. With the help of the insect swarm, I can definitely go down this path."

"Now that the human leadership and the Starry Sky Beast Alliance have formed an alliance, their relationship is quite close. If they pay a certain price, they may still have a chance to enter the Beast God Realm."

Qin Mu thought to himself.

This was the path he was already on, only he lacked systematic guidance.

With systematic guidance, things will definitely go more smoothly.

"It would take an extremely long time to thoroughly study these 64 diagrams. Even someone as talented as Luo Feng took 180 million years to achieve anything."

This was achieved even with the strongest innate secret technique as a reference, and with the burning divine power of the Nine Netherworlds.

Although the swarm is strong, its level is still low, and it lacks the strongest innate secret technique. It might take even longer to fully understand it.

After looking at the Arm of Locking the Sky for a while, Qin Mu stopped looking at it.

Just like his plan to go to the Ancestral God Cult, the Beast God Realm of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance was also part of his plan.

"The second floor of Yubaotang is truly an eye-opener!"

Qin Mu exclaimed in admiration.

There were so many treasures here, many of which touched him deeply.
