Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 675 The Secret Technique to Break Through 10 Times the Gene

Let's go back a quarter of an hour.

Crossing the spatial passage, Qin Mu descended upon the Eighth Temple.

The scene before me was no longer land, but an endless starry sky.

The sky was filled with stars, countless stars shone, and moved along some mysterious trajectory, as if the universe had just begun and the world was evolving.

At the same time, a vast and cold voice came.

"The Eighth Temple's assessment involves observing the celestial stars to obtain a secret technique."

"Upon successful cultivation, you will be able to enter the final temple."

Qin Mu looked at the endless stars, his brows furrowing slightly. Where were there any secret techniques around here?

There are no words, no patterns, only endless stars.

"Is the secret technique hidden in the orbits of countless stars?"

As Qin Mu made his guess, his divine power instantly radiated outwards, covering the surrounding billions of light-years.

The movements of all the stars within billions of light-years appeared in Qin Mu's mind. The will of the swarm deduced from their movements, trying to find the hidden secrets within.

Qin Mu was experienced in this kind of thing.

When he possessed the original will of the universe, he observed and comprehended the operation of the entire universe, and naturally had his own unique understanding of it.

In Qin Mu's eyes, those trajectories were like secret patterns, clearly displaying the mysteries of the universe before his eyes.

"Buzz!"

Qin Mu, who was studying the endless movement of the stars, suddenly felt a jolt in his consciousness.

It seemed as if a powerful force was pulling at my consciousness, just as if the will of the universe was drawing me into the origin of the universe.

Qin Mu instinctively wanted to resist, but his inner thoughts made him stop.

……

Qin Mu looked around at the chaotic land that seemed to be the origin of the universe's will.

Although there were countless points of light surrounding him, Qin Mu knew very well that this was definitely not the true origin of the universe; the feeling was too illusory.

What's more, there was a strange beast right in front of him.

This strange beast resembles a dragon, with golden scales all over its body, each scale shining brightly. It has a pair of curved antlers on its forehead and its eyes glowing with blue light.

It was seen perched in the void, looking down at Qin Mu.

"This is?!"

Looking at the strange beast, Qin Mu had a guess in his mind.

"You don't seem surprised? You know me?"

The dragon-shaped beast looked at Qin Mu and roared in a low voice.

"The spirit of arcane arts?"

Qin Mu said softly.

Upon seeing this dragon-shaped beast, I combined some of my guesses with the legacy of the Broken East River.

Qin Mu then learned what the strange beast in front of him was.

This is the spirit of the secret arts, a spirit born from the secret arts!

Just as weapons can be imbued with spirit, some extremely powerful secret techniques also possess spirit!

However, this kind of secret technique can only be refined by at least a God-King level expert.

Moreover, for a god-king level expert, it is extremely difficult to refine a secret technique spirit. Only when choosing a qualified successor for their proud and unique skill will they expend great effort to refine a 'secret technique treasure'.

Because the spirit of the secret art is very unique, it will choose a master who is truly suitable for it.

It's impossible to forcibly obtain the secret technique.

Because the spirit of the secret art cannot recognize a master, it is impossible to even erase the spirit.

"Is it a secret technique spirit crafted by the Wutong God-King himself, or an opportunity he obtained?"

Qin Mu thought to himself, but spoke out tentatively.

"Are you the spirit of the secret technique created by the God King of Wutong?"

The golden dragon's eyes flashed with disdain as it sneered.

"The God-King of the Phoenix Tree? He doesn't even deserve that title! Compared to my master, he's less than a tiny firefly in the night sky or the blazing sun!"

"Hmph, listen carefully, my master is 'Yuan'!"

They are truly free and unfettered beings, unbound by any power, incomparable to those confined in cages.

"Alright, you couldn't possibly have heard of the master's name."

All you need to know is that your master is billions of times more powerful than the Wutong God King.

Now that you have seen me, you are qualified to learn this secret technique.

Although, it's practically impossible for you to truly learn it.

The golden dragon proudly raised its head, its tone quite disdainful.

"Yuan!"

Qin Mu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.

This is actually a secret technique left behind by the Yuan Dynasty?

How could Qin Mu not know this?

This is on the same level as 'Gold', or even stronger!

Yuan, on the other hand, liked to leave opportunities in various places.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng was able to defeat the World Beast and avert the cataclysmic crisis in the Cosmic Sea thanks to the secret technique of Yuan's will—the Lieyuan Technique!

The secret technique left behind by the Wutong God King was actually a remnant of the Yuan Dynasty?

Could it be that the Mountain Guest's guess is true, and the fall of the Fire Phoenix God King and the Wutong God King was due to the secret technique left behind by Yuan?

It's not impossible.

The opportunity left behind by Yuan is the most important even in the Origin Continent, and is coveted by all the God-King powerhouses.

Even the founders of the two great ancient kingdoms, who were high above all others, were like this.

Not to mention the nine kings of the Thunder Kingdom.

"Boy, you're very lucky. You're a Lord of Laws and you're on the path of divine power."

If one becomes a true god, one will not even be qualified to learn this secret technique.

Of course, it's just a chance; the probability of actually learning it is still too low.

As it spoke, the golden dragon's 129600 golden scales lit up and quickly connected in the void to form billions of threads, creating an extremely complex miniature universe model.

The golden dragon said, "The model of the universe in front of you is the 'Attracting Secret Technique' of the entire secret art."

"The Secret Technique of Attracting and Drawing Into the Source?"

Qin Mu nodded slightly. The Lieyuan Technique was a secret technique of willpower, but he wondered what kind of secret technique the Golden Dragon Secret Technique was.

However, since it was left behind by Yuan, whatever the secret technique it is, it is definitely the most top-level inheritance.

He immediately began to study the "Secret Technique of Attracting and Drawing".

The so-called secret technique of attracting and guiding can be understood as a prerequisite for true inheritance.

It is generally used to protect secret techniques from being passed on to outsiders.

How many powerful beings are there on the Origin Continent?

If powerful techniques are directly passed on to the inheritor, it can easily lead to the secret techniques being leaked, such as being abducted or having their souls searched by powerful individuals.

Therefore, various methods of protection were developed.

For example, the lineage markers of the Duan Donghe lineage are used to protect and preserve the heritage.

However, the inheritance mark is obviously not suitable for the spirit of the secret art, which requires a large selection of successors, so the "attraction secret art" is usually used.

Once the Navigation Technique is mastered, it allows you to 'Navigate' truly powerful secret techniques. Even if someone searches your memories, the Navigation Technique will prevent them from finding the real secret techniques.

As Qin Mu studied the model of the universe's operation, the more he looked at it, the more doubts he had.

In this model of the universe's operation, one can even see a trace of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

Of course, this is much more complex than the cosmological model formed by the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual".

The cosmic operating rules contained within are in no way inferior to the true cosmic operating rules that Qin Mu saw when he possessed the Ten Thousand Demons Universe.

It should be noted that this is merely a secret technique for attracting and guiding, and cannot be considered a true secret method.

"Huh, they've actually started cultivating right away? This Absorption and Attraction Secret Technique has extremely high requirements; ordinary people can't even get to the basics."

The golden dragon looked at Qin Mu, who was immersed in the secret technique, with some surprise.

This secret technique has been obtained by many people on the Origin Continent, but none of them have been able to successfully cultivate it.

Seeing that Qin Mu ignored him, he sat up and waited, feeling a little bored.

They waited for Qin Mu to fail so they could send him away.

Little did it know that while Qin Mu was immersed in the model of the universe's operation, most of the swarm units skilled in computation began to perform calculations.

Within the swarm, waves of wisdom surged, striving to thoroughly deduce the principles behind every thread of law.

Deducing the workings of the universe.

That's what the swarm excels at.

However, the more Qin Mu deduced, the more mysterious this cosmological model became.

One after another, primordial seas, ancient war trees, void trees, and even Leviathans and Zergling Tyrants were drawn into the study of arcane arts.

Occasionally, insect units will undergo metamorphosis, or their bodies will burst open.

The entire life cycle of the insect swarm seems to be undergoing a transformation!

……

Within the primordial universe, the human universe lords who remained in the Peak Realm were all horrified as they watched the primordial seas suddenly boil over.

The towering waves of divine power reached hundreds of millions of feet high.

A large number of nascent insect swarm units collapsed and transformed into divine power, merging into them.

Even the Void Tree, spanning hundreds of millions of light-years, trembled, causing the surrounding space to shake.

The commotion was so great that it even woke up the Chaos City Lord's secluded avatar.

When he flew out of the temple and looked at the swarm of insects in the Peak Realm, most of the insects had stopped working, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep and were undergoing some kind of strange change.

"Qin Mu? What happened?"

The Lord of Chaos looked at the Void Tree with some worry, and his consciousness entered the insect network to call for Qin Mu.

"It's alright! I encountered a great opportunity in the Wutong World, and I need to gather most of the insectoid swarm units for simulation."

Qin Mu transmitted his voice.

"An opportunity? It actually requires the deployment of all units in the entire Zerg swarm for simulation?"

The Lord of Chaos City was shocked. Just how large was Qin Mu's swarm of insects?

The insect swarm within the Peak Realm alone numbered in the trillions, and he dared not even imagine the insect swarms gathering in the entire universe.

Not to mention, there are also super units like the Void Tree and the Primordial Sea, which are so large that their size is measured in light-years.

Not only in their home universe, but also in the insect swarm within the Wutong World, a portion of them have entered a state of slumber.

The secret method of creation is extremely magical.

This secret method simulates a model of the universe's operation, but it doesn't directly elevate the level of life like the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual."

Instead, it accelerates the evolution and transformation of life.

But it only accelerates.

True gene modification still requires relying on oneself.

Once your genes reach 6 times their normal size, you can only rely on yourself!

If you can't keep up with this transformation, then you've failed!

During his cultivation, he learned that the Absorption and Guidance Technique was a special secret method used for the transformation of life levels.

Even with the help of the insect swarm, Qin Mu still devoted most of his energy to it.

Because the entire Nascent Soul Technique is divided into three stages, the rate of life evolution increases in each stage.

The entire process will last 1 years.

The requirement for the Absorption and Attraction Secret Technique is to increase one's life level by 90,000 times within 10,000 years!

Originally, Qin Mu estimated that it would take at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years, to reach that point, which was already an extremely fast speed.

Even a genius like Luo Feng took billions of epochs to reach 90,000 times the power!

But Qin Mu only has 1 years!

"No wonder no one has ever succeeded. If the Navigation Technique alone is so powerful, what must the real technique be like?"

10 times?

Or should we break through the highest rules and reach an even higher level?

Qin Mu felt both urgent and incredibly excited.

This secret technique is definitely not simple!

"Empress, Giant Axe, begin the hunt for the Beasts of the Realm! I need their life charts!"

Within the cosmic sea, Qin Mu looked at the two of them.

The genes of the Beast Realm are extremely unique, and may enable the swarm's life cycle to break through more quickly.

"Alright! Let's go!"
