Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 397 Cultivation Frenzy! Permanent Teleportation Channel

Yian District, the training room of the Third High School.

"Look! There's a new page in the Secret Techniques section of the cultivation assistance system!"

There's even a skill level system? Is this a game?

Among the students, a tall, slightly dark-skinned student with short, jet-black hair exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the cultivation assistance system in his suit.

Name: Zhang Sheng

Race: Chinese

Strength: Apprentice Level 9 (83%)

Bloodline: Planetary Level (Planetary Level Bloodline Potion)

Secret Techniques: "Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method (Ninth Revised Edition)" (73% proficiency), "Basic Fist Techniques (Ninth Revised Edition)" (82% proficiency), "Basic Body Techniques (Ninth Revised Edition)" (92% proficiency), "Whirlwind Blade" (43% proficiency).

Insights into the principles: None.

Looking at the Secret Techniques section on the panel, Zhang Sheng was certain that initially, there were only the names "Basic Fist Techniques" and "Whirlwind Blade".

However, after several practice sessions, he actually developed a proficiency in the secret technique!

There's even a small line of text explaining this on the data panel.

The secret cultivation method is divided into three stages: basic, proficient, master, and perfect.

Once the progress reaches 100%, you can break through and reach the next level!

As a high school freshman, he mastered four kinds of martial arts, among which the "Five Hearts Facing Heaven Cultivation Method", "Basic Fist Techniques", and "Basic Body Techniques" were compulsory courses in elementary and junior high school.

"The Mad Wind Blade" was something I could only encounter in high school.

"I really have proficiency; my 'Basic Boxing Techniques' is at the proficiency level."

Moreover, after I corrected a few incorrect ways of exerting force using the cultivation assistance system, my proficiency actually increased!

This kind of spiritual practice is too easy! It's just like playing a game!

It's wonderful to be able to track my progress with each practice session!

Next to Zhang Sheng, a wiry young man with freckles cheered.

In an era where virtual universes are prevalent, who hasn't played virtual games?

Many people are not interested in real-life spiritual practice, but are willing to spend a lot of time and energy in games, grinding and spending money.

Why?

One of the core elements lies in the positive feedback mechanism!

In the game, you gain experience by defeating each monster, increase your combat power by equipping each piece of gear, and advance in the leaderboard by leveling up.

All of this will be reflected in the game characters in a timely manner.

This positive feedback ensures that every effort a player makes is recognized, thus motivating them to continue playing.

This is something that was unattainable in the past.

However, through the training assistance system in the armor, a feedback mechanism similar to that in the game has been achieved!

Furthermore, the cultivation assistance system can promptly detect errors and omissions in the cultivation process, allowing every diligent practitioner to receive timely feedback and make corrections.

Upon discovering this, everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation exploded.

Throughout the training ground, all the trainees were constantly practicing, gradually increasing their proficiency.

Before long, cheers erupted.

"Haha, after correcting a few mistakes using the cultivation assistance system, my basic fist techniques have reached the mastery level!"

Some people cheered and jumped for joy.

"My progress is also very fast! In just half a day, I've made at least as much progress as I did in a month of training before!"

Some people were encouraged.

The feeling of constantly growing stronger, and being able to clearly sense it, is truly captivating.

Compared to the students, the school's teachers were even more enthusiastic.

In this day and age, you can reach the planetary level as an adult, and with a little effort, you can reach the eternal level. All those who can serve as teachers are at the cosmic level!

They also received their armor and began their training.

As the teacher of the senior high school students, Liu Hai's strength has reached the ninth level of the universe level.

That's right! Cosmic level, ninth rank!

A powerhouse of this level would be quite successful even in the universe.

Before the emergence of the seed of genes, only one galaxy on a cosmic scale could give birth to it!

Joining a cosmic kingdom allows you to easily acquire dozens of planets as your territory, along with countless beauties, power, and servants.

Although the birth of the Seed of Genes has greatly increased the strength of the lower-level martial artists, the number of them that can be born in a star system has increased by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

But even at the cosmic level, they are still powerful.

But this is Earth, the sacred land of the Chinese people, and even the cosmic level is nothing special.

One of the essential requirements for becoming a teacher at the Third High School is being at the cosmic level. Some senior teachers are even at the domain lord level, and the principal is a realm lord!

While many students were practicing, he was also practicing.

As a teacher, he also demonstrated some basic boxing techniques and basic body techniques, which are only practiced by lower-grade students.

With his strength and status as a teacher, his foundation in all aspects was naturally extremely solid, and these low-level techniques had long since reached perfection.

However, after practicing the "Basic Boxing Techniques" several times, he was shocked to find that although he had reached the perfect state, there were still many flaws in the cultivation assistance system.

"The Basic Boxing Techniques were created by many of China's top experts to lay the foundation for lower-level students embarking on the path of cultivation. After nine consecutive revisions, it is now considered perfect."

But there's still a problem with how to exert force?

Guided by the implant, he adjusted his exertion and found that he was indeed a little stronger, which made him exclaim in surprise.

Without hesitation, he practiced all the dozens of martial arts techniques he knew.

As a teacher, he had mastered many low-level techniques, and a considerable number of them had reached the point of perfection.

However, as he practiced, he discovered that every technique had some flaws.

It's not that my cultivation is inadequate, but rather that the technique itself has a problem!

"The world is about to change! Our various secret cultivation techniques actually have so many flaws!"

Liu Hai murmured softly.

He knew this wasn't a bad thing.

This means that the many secret methods of cultivation and creation of the Chinese people will usher in a revolution!

Arcane Revolution!

After practicing all the secret techniques, Liu Hai sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the laws, looking at the empty law panel.

He stopped very quickly.

"Not only in terms of cultivation techniques, this armor can also guide and enhance the understanding of laws!"

The rules section on the panel now clearly has new content.

"Law: Nine Levels of the Wood Domain (83%)"

Furthermore, just like the cultivation secrets, there is also an additional detailed page.

The above clearly records the deviations and omissions that occurred when comprehending the laws.

"I can even guide you in cultivating the laws! No, I even feel that the guidance in sensing the laws is clearer than that in guiding you through secret techniques!"

The secret technique still requires me to practice it many times, and the cultivation assistance system needs to collect data before it can identify my problem.

But even this step of understanding the laws is omitted.

This isn't some kind of cultivation assistance system, it's practically cheating!

His bangs are stunning.

"The cultivation assistance system is too overpowered. The more you practice, the more data you collect, and the clearer the analysis becomes."

Simply follow the prompts to correct the mistakes, and your skills will improve significantly.

No wonder they had to lock it down!

This is absolutely a groundbreaking achievement comparable to the Seed of Genes! It won't be long before I break through to the Domain Lord level!

His eyes were filled with fervor.

Liu Hai wasn't the only one to discover the power of the armor; many powerful individuals who were stranded on Earth due to the blockade, after calming down, almost all discovered the power of the armor and the cultivation assistance system.

Now, no one made a fuss about leaving.

Everyone realized that this was an absolutely incredible opportunity.

Some powerful figures at the domain lord and realm lord levels even felt that the cultivation assistance system was constantly being optimized in various aspects as it was running!

Outside Earth, Qin Mu looked at the Chinese humans who were engrossed in their fervent cultivation, and a smile curved his lips.

Cultivation assistance systems are extremely effective for cultivators below the Immortal level.

The weaker the strength, the better the effect!

Qin Mu had long anticipated the potential revolution in secret techniques that might result.

Many of the secret techniques used by humans on Earth were selected by him from the Virtual Universe Company and taught to the top leaders of China. He was naturally aware of their merits and demerits.

However, he had no intention of interfering; instead, he let them discover, optimize, and modify on their own!

He will provide the best environment for cultivation for humanity on Earth, but he cannot replace their cultivation.

"It's sufficient for cultivation assistance."

However, to become a true powerhouse, one crucial step is missing: combat! A life-or-death battle!

The Chinese people, too, have had the seed of this gene implanted!

They too must fight and battle to have any chance of advancing further.

However, the monsters on Earth had long been wiped out, and Earth was sealed off, so they had nowhere to actually fight.

This was clearly not what Qin Mu wanted to see.

"Senior Brother Golden Axe, I'll be troubling you from now on."

Qin Mu spoke to the void.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Axe Venerable, who was nearly nine meters tall, had six arms and six eyes, and carried a golden giant axe almost as tall as himself, walked out of the void.

For years, he has been in charge of the Earth.

As the ninth disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he knew some things about Qin Mu, but not others.

But even knowing only a part of it was enough for him to respect Qin Mu.

"No problem, the teacher has already told me. I will now assist you in opening a fixed spatial passage to the Eastern Peak Secret Realm."

The Golden Axe Venerable laughed heartily.

That's right!

Qin Mu wants to establish a fixed space passage on Earth!

Fixed spatial channels are not anything too advanced; they can be achieved simply by having a divine kingdom as a transit point. The principle is the same as divine kingdom teleportation.

The divine kingdoms are all located in the gaps between the divine kingdoms and the outside world; the channels connecting the divine kingdoms and the outside world are teleportation channels.

The predecessor of the Huaxia Empire, the Heilongshan Empire, had a "Holy Land Heilongshan" behind it. That Holy Land Heilongshan... was actually a divine kingdom.

There is a fixed passage within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire leading to the sacred Black Dragon Mountain.

Through the teleportation channel, two places that are originally hundreds of millions of light-years apart or even more can be reached instantly.

However, for any fixed channel, the more distant the two points are, the greater the cost will be.

Even a fixed spatial passage at close range would require tens of thousands of Chaos Units!

For some distant locations, it might take millions or even tens of millions of mixed units to build a single fixed channel.

Earth is extremely far from the Eastern Peak Secret Realm. To establish a fixed passage, at least tens of millions of Hunyuan would be needed.

But Qin Mu believed it was worth it.

As the two were talking, a mechanical race member named King Wudi, belonging to the Zerg swarm, appeared behind Qin Mu.

The cultivation support system on Earth will be managed by this mechanical race member, and his divine kingdom will also serve as a transit station for spatial channels.

……

The Eastern Peak Secret Realm was discovered by powerful humans countless years ago and transformed into a secret world suitable for human survival.

The entire secret realm contains tens of thousands of continents of varying sizes.

The smallest of them is nearly a light-year in diameter, comparable to the Bloodloo World.

The largest diameters are tens of light-years.

What does this mean?

This means that the population of a single landmass in the Eastern Peak Secret Realm is comparable to that of an entire universe!

Within the Eastern Peak Secret Realm, there are tens of thousands of similar continents!

This one secret realm alone has a population larger than the combined human population of all the other universes.

Qin Mu was surprised when he obtained the data on the Eastern Peak Secret Realm.

Throughout the entire secret realm, or even on any continent, it would take a very long time to fully deploy low-level bio-armor.

Furthermore, the existing insect swarm is simply incapable of supporting the establishment of a complete cultivation assistance system in such a vast secret realm.

Qin Mu also understood why the number of humans in the secret realm was much greater than that in the universe kingdom.

The Zerg swarm has also explored some of the secret realms of the universe.

Before the battle of geniuses, he had obtained an opportunity from the Lord of the Thick Earth Realm, which involved a secret world.

After the swarm grew stronger, it had already occupied the area and captured a special life form with immortal-level strength.

While exploring in the shadows, the swarm encountered many secret realms. In fact, they even occupied one of these realms as their base within the territory of the demon race.

The identity of "Titan" also has a secret realm.

However, these secret realms are all small-scale secret realms, and they are not comparable to the super secret realm of Dongyue Secret Realm at all.

At this moment, one of Qin Mu's clones also appeared here.

He gazed at the vast starry sky in the secret realm, where he saw enormous continents floating in the void.

Qin Mu stood atop one of the more remote continents, with the Lord of Chaos City standing beside him.

"There are tens of thousands of continents in the secret realm, some of which are filled with abundant primordial energy of the universe, and the humans who live there are planetary level."

Some planets have scarce energy and are no different from ordinary planets, inhabited by a large number of races with tenth-grade bloodlines.

This is indeed the best testing ground.

Qin Mu exclaimed in admiration.

"These continents are completely controlled by the Virtual Universe Company. I have already issued orders to them, and they will fully cooperate with your experiment."

However, the virtual universe system is not widespread in the Mysterious Continent.

Only those at the cosmic level or above can log in to the virtual universe.

The interior environment is similar to the Bloodlust world you once visited.

Promoting low-level implants would be much less efficient compared to the outside world.

The Lord of Chaos City looked down at the continent below and said.

"It doesn't matter, this secret realm is too vast."

The insect swarm also lacked the capacity to fully establish cultivation support systems within such a vast secret realm.

I will first set up a few pilot projects, and then gradually expand the program.

Qin Mu said.

Although the Virtual Universe Company has taken control of this secret realm, it adopts a free-range strategy for the humans living in it, and does not usually interfere with them.

Just like the immortal temple in the Blood Luo world, it stands high above, overlooking all living beings.

This has always been the management strategy of the virtual universe.

Once you reach the cosmic level in your cultivation, you can travel to large cities within the secret realm, join a virtual universe company, and gain the qualification to log in to the virtual universe.

Qin Mu didn't say anything about the management strategy of the Virtual Universe Company.

Although he felt that this method of selecting geniuses was inefficient.

Perhaps once the spatial passage is opened, China can try to make some changes here.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Mu's body began to fall, accelerating rapidly until he entered the outermost layer of clouds on this continent.

"This continent, Qiming, which is numbered 5689 in the virtual universe company, is about eight light-years in diameter."

The Qiming Continent has extremely strong gravity, allowing only planetary-level beings to survive, while constellations can barely fly. For the people of China, it should be a relatively good training ground.

Whoosh!

Qin Mu's body passed through the clouds almost instantly, and the scenery of the Qiming Continent came into view.

Using the location provided by the Virtual Universe Company, Qin Mu chose a region consisting of a mountain range and forest stretching for millions of kilometers, with no human cities within a million miles.

Standing in the void, the space around him rippled slightly, and tens of thousands of Zerg units spread outwards, beginning to establish covert research bases.

At the same time, a group of humanoid insectoid units went to nearby human cities to coordinate with the Virtual Universe Company's personnel in popularizing low-level bio-armor.

This continent was one of the initial pilot areas chosen by Qin Mu.

Similar pilot programs exist on several other continents.

In particular, the energy contained on one of the continents is very thin. Although there are many humans living on it, most of them have bloodlines of the ninth or tenth grade.

We came here first simply to establish a fixed spatial passage for the Chinese people to undergo training.

brush--

Qin Mu's figure appeared instantly in the mountain forest, and a putrid and fishy smell immediately hit him.

Click.

In the rotting soil, a poisonous insect the size of a palm was stomped to death by Qin Mu.

"Even a venomous insect has strength comparable to a planetary level, that's quite impressive."

Looking up into the distance, without needing to use his mental powers to scan, Qin Mu could see a seventh-tier ferocious beast resembling a tiger with his naked eye.

Clearly, this jungle is rich in various ferocious beasts.

Driven by the power of the world, Qin Mu's humanoid body revealed dense scales, which were covered with golden runes.

Golden mane grew on its face, and its eyes turned golden.

His eyes narrowed, and then the intricate patterns on his scales lit up, his golden eyes producing illusory images that seemed to reflect the endless void of heaven and earth.

Innate Secret Technique - Mirror of the Universe, activated!

The Mirror of the Universe is the talent of the King of the Mirrors. When unleashed, it can sweep across a range of one billion kilometers in a straight line, as if reflecting everything on a mirror, making everything clear and any danger visible.

Qin Mu hadn't fully explored this talent, but that didn't stop him from using the replicated body to unleash it.

"It's relatively safe. Within a radius of one billion kilometers, there are only three ferocious beasts of the immortal level."

There are many other ferocious beasts, making them suitable for training.

Let's establish a fixed spatial passage here.

From then on, this became the starting point for China's conquest of the Qiming Continent.

The gold in Qin Mu's eyes dimmed, the scales disappeared, and he transformed into a human body.

hum-

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from Qin Mu's body.

As if by some kind of pinpoint, the space suddenly shattered.

An unparalleled aura of law descended from the space, fixing the shattered space.

Through the passage, a mechanical temple appeared, and powerful divine energy surged from it, transforming into a passage about a kilometer in diameter, completely solidifying the shattered space.

"The spatial passage is complete!"

Just as things stabilized in the spatial passage, a figure that looked exactly like him appeared.

It was none other than Qin Mu from Earth.

"The pressure during the teleportation process isn't too great. Star-level beings might find it somewhat uncomfortable, but it's bearable."

After experiencing it for a while, Qin Mu on Earth stepped into the teleportation channel again and instantly appeared in outer space.

At this moment, there is also a spatial passage with a diameter of one kilometer.

Although establishing a permanent teleportation channel requires a massive amount of resources, once it is completed, it will not disappear and can be used for teleportation at any time.

"This passage will be handed over to the higher-ups in China."

"On the other side of the passage, there are countless ferocious beasts, which can be used for training."

There are countless resources for China's development, and vast lands for you to conquer!

Go and draw strength from the battle!

Truly grown up!

There was anticipation in Qin Mu's eyes.

He has many grievances about this universe and many things he wants to do.

But some things cannot be accomplished by him alone.

This is something that China today cannot do.

Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future!
