: The Harvest of Inheritance

First, carefully review the Light-Time Beast God inheritance in your sea of ​​consciousness.

The importance of inheritance lies in having a guiding direction when comprehending the principles, which is infinitely better than figuring it out on your own, and will prevent you from going astray and wasting time.

With this inheritance, Wu Qingfeng believed that with his talent and comprehension, he could create the ultimate secret technique of the universe master and break through the original core to achieve immortality much faster than previously expected.

Not to mention the core secret technique "Light and Time Burning Silence", even the ordinary secret techniques are at least at the peak of the universe master level. Perhaps it was created casually by the Light and Time Beast God when he created the fusion secret technique.

Upon closer inspection, there were a total of 64 sets of peak secret techniques, 12 sets of ultimate secret techniques, 3 sets of the strongest secret techniques, plus the core secret technique "Light and Time Incineration," which was enough for Wu Qingfeng to study the Light and Time Fusion Secret Technique for a long time.

The later-developed secret technique, the Light-Time Beast God, also left behind a detailed map of the cosmic ocean currents and towering mountains, mentioning a hidden inheritance site obtained through an adventure at its core. This site provides extremely strong guidance for cultivating the fusion secret technique; however, the inheritance test is rigorous. Even just the outer area requires creating a fifth-order secret technique to be considered qualified, and the core area has extremely strict requirements. Failing to pass the inheritance test means certain death. Therefore, the Light-Time Beast God was driven to desperation when he once again ventured into the inheritance site for a life-or-death struggle!

After tallying the precious materials for enhancing gene levels in the 'Light and Time Evolution Palace', based on the information left by the Beast God and the information he queried among humans with high privileges, there was enough material to enhance his three clones to the level of ten thousand times with a considerable surplus. However, if he wanted to enhance one clone to the perfect gene level, the remaining materials could only enhance another clone to the level of ten thousand times at most.

The earlier the genetic level is upgraded, the better the effect and the less resources are consumed. Although it's not an exponential increase, it's still a multiple difference. Wu Qingfeng is now a Realm Lord, so upgrading his genetic level is a priority.

Other geniuses couldn't improve even if they wanted to. Before the Lord of the Universe, a hundred times the gene multiplier was the limit. Only special life forms with a gene multiplier exceeding a hundred times could increase their gene multiplier.

Wu Qingfeng plans to first upgrade his Blood Sea clone to the perfect genetic level. The higher the genetic level of the Blood Sea clone, the larger its size will be. This way, when he breaks through to the Lord of the Universe, he can upgrade his divine body to the 12 light-year limit of the universe.

The remaining materials were all used on the Void Flame Soul clone to upgrade it to the 10,000-fold genetic level. As for the Shi Heng clone, it already had a 9600-fold genetic level, so there wasn't much difference; we'd find a way to upgrade it later.

Improving the genetic level is too resource-intensive. If it weren't for the materials he obtained from this inheritance, he wouldn't have even considered it!

Generally, when a Universe Lord breaks through, with the support of their race, it is easy to raise their genetic level a thousandfold. This step is relatively simple and usually only requires a few dozen Treasure Points. Even for Universe Lords from weaker races in the universe, it is not difficult to prepare enough resources after breaking through.

However, increasing the speed from 1000x to 3000x is quite resource-intensive, requiring at least 300 Treasure Points, enough to exchange for a set of top-tier treasure weapons and armor. Generally, only second-tier Universe Lords of peak races have the resources to upgrade. Ordinary races require third-tier Universe Lords to acquire the necessary resources.

It takes 800 points of Supreme Treasure to upgrade from 3,000 to 5,000 times, which is close to the price of a top-tier Supreme Treasure weapon! Even the third-tier Universe Lords of the peak races generally only have this level of gene multiplication.

To increase the multiplier from 5,000 to 10,000, you need at least 5,000 Treasure Points!

If an ordinary Universe Lord is not a special life form, then the requirement of having a genetic level ten thousand times higher alone would require more than six thousand Treasure Points! This is also one of the basic requirements for a fourth-order Universe Lord.

From the 10,000-fold genetic level to the 10081-fold perfect genetic level, although it's only an 81-fold increase, the difference is enormous. The increase in strength brought about by the improvement in the divine body alone is incomparable! The divine body at the perfect genetic level, with a range of 96,000 kilometers, directly enters the level of a giant divine body. In battle, one can unleash divine power to their heart's content. As long as the difference in combat power is not too great, the difference between a great divine body and a small divine body is overwhelming!

This final 81x gene level boost is the most resource-intensive, requiring even more resources than the previous 10,000x gene level boost! It demands tens of thousands of Treasure Points—enough to buy a top-tier special-type Treasure!

Therefore, even among the most powerful races in the primordial universe, very few universe lords possessed perfect divine bodies; almost all were top-tier fifth-order universe lords. Among these fifth-order universe lords, many did not even reach the level of perfect genes.

The teacher, the Lord of Darkness, possesses perfect genetic qualities. Because he spends most of his time in the cosmic ocean, he has many adventures and naturally reaps many rewards, making him very wealthy.

Even the strongest universe master in the primordial universe, the Lord of Chaos City, only had his strongest main battle avatar at the perfect gene level. The main body of Chaos City and his other main battle avatar only had ten thousand times the gene level. Was it because he didn't want to? No, it was because he didn't have the money!

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, above the void outside Chaos City, a streak of crimson-gold light suddenly pierced the sky, carrying with it the boundless aura of the laws of light and fire fusion, and slowly fell to the entrance of the primordial universe like a meteor falling to earth.

As the light faded, the figure of the illusory flame clone became clearly visible. The Flame Demon Armor clung to his body, and fiery runes subtly swirled across its crimson surface. While the fluctuations of his surrounding laws appeared condensed and restrained, they were in reality profound and deep, his aura far surpassing his former self. This silently demonstrated the astonishing gains he had made during his three-year journey through the secret realm. After three years of dedicated study and consolidation of his understanding of the laws, Wu Qingfeng had begun to grasp and absorb the inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God, and his understanding of the Light-Time Fusion Law had broken through to the sixth level.

On Zijing Island of the Ancestral God Sect, Shi Heng's clone once again went to the inheritance site to receive the sixth level of inheritance. This time, the harvest from obtaining the inheritance of the first generation of the Light and Time Beast God was too great, which was equivalent to skipping a level directly. The sixth level is already an inheritance at the level of a cosmic overlord!

With the help of rare materials obtained through inheritance, the Void Flame Avatar's genetic level steadily soared towards a factor of ten thousand.

After submitting his application to return to Chaos City to the virtual universe, Wu Qingfeng instantly teleported to the passage from the primordial universe to the initial universe.

An immortal guardian bowed and led Wu Qingfeng to a spaceship: "Your Highness, we have received instructions from the Virtual Universe Company. Your Highness may board this spaceship directly."

The many immortals and realm lords queuing nearby all stared in disbelief: "What's this person's identity? How come they can skip the queue and enter the passage directly?"

"Even the realm lords of the Primal Secret Realm have to wait in line. This person has such a powerful aura; he's probably a disciple of some important figure?"

……

Passing through the passage, I once again experienced the chaotic feeling of time and space intersecting, and soon arrived at Chaos City.

The spaceship gradually slowed down with a low rumble, eventually hovering outside Chaos City. The hatch slid open silently, and Wu Qingfeng stood on the edge of the ship's railing, looking down at this sacred cultivation ground of the human race.

The eternal scene of Chaos City came into view. Dense chaotic energy, like a pale gray veil, flowed and swirled slowly through the city streets and countless cultivation dwellings. On the rooftops of many dwellings, figures could be vaguely seen sitting in meditation, immersed in the laws of nature like statues, blending seamlessly with the surrounding chaotic aura. In the distance, a massive spatial rift was clearly visible at the edge of the sky. The rift's edges bore the solidified traces of enlightenment left by many ancient powerhouses, like inscriptions of time, silently elucidating the mysteries of the fundamental laws of the universe.

An ancient and heavy pressure permeated the air, a manifestation of the unique laws of the primordial universe. Every breath seemed to touch the very core of the universe's workings. The city's architecture was simple yet magnificent, with massive pillars and towering towers appearing and disappearing in the air currents. Having endured countless years, the walls bore not only the marks of wind and rain but also the unintentional imprints of the laws unleashed by powerful figures throughout history during their comprehension.

The chaotic currents were no longer merely a fog obscuring vision; the subtle threads of laws and energy pathways flowing within them were now exceptionally clear. The faint fluctuations of laws emanating from within the city intertwined into an invisible net, creating a profound resonance with the very origin of the universe.

Flight is prohibited in Chaos City. Stepping onto the bluestone avenue, the safest place for humans, my tense mind, which had been traversing the Devouring Spacetime, relaxed greatly. At this moment, there were even faint signs of a breakthrough in my mental state.

Walking along the familiar streets, one is flanked by cultivation residences of varying styles. Occasionally, familiar or unfamiliar cultivators cast glances their way, many revealing awe or curiosity upon sensing the restrained yet undeniable aura of power emanating from the Void Flame Avatar. The road extends deeper into the city, to the more central area, where the mansions of powerful individuals stand in abundance.

In the distance, the chaotic currents continued to surge slowly, enveloping the eternal city, as if nothing had ever changed, yet as if new miracles were always brewing.

The False Flame clone delivered the World Ring containing materials to enhance the gene level to the Blood Sea clone, enough for the Blood Sea clone to successfully break through to the perfect gene level.

Without pausing, Wu Qingfeng moved swiftly towards the Dark Lord's residence in Chaos City—the Shadow Hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

The Shadow Palace is hidden deep within the Chaos City Lord's Mansion. The palace is enveloped by layers of dense, impenetrable dark laws, exuding a chilling mystery amidst its tranquility. Ordinary immortal powerhouses are not even qualified to approach the palace gates; only the Dark Lord's personal disciples can freely enter and exit by virtue of their marks.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Wu Qingfeng's mark automatically merged with the palace's law barrier without any prior notification. The heavy palace gate slowly opened inward, and a vast yet gentle aura of dark origin swept over him, calming his mind.

The hall was dimly lit, save for a wisp of eerie blue ghostly fire floating on the central stone platform, its faint glow illuminating the figure of the Lord of Darkness. He remained tall and slender, his body seemingly swallowed by all light, his eyes like unfathomable pools. He sat with his eyes closed, a faint aura of law surrounding him, causing the space itself to tremble slightly. Wu Qingfeng knew that his teacher hadn't gone to the Cosmic Sea all these years, likely to ensure his safety. If he had gone to the Cosmic Sea, returning to the Primordial Universe would take at least hundreds, even thousands of years. After all, he was his disciple; entrusting him to someone else was far less reassuring than protecting him personally.

Wu Qingfeng stepped forward lightly, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Disciple Wu Qingfeng greets Master. I have come today to report on the gains from this trip to the secret realm."

He then recounted his entire journey to the secret realm, revealing everything he had gained.

The Lord of Darkness slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze falling on Wu Qingfeng. A hint of approval flashed in his eyes, as if his gaze could penetrate appearances, taking in all of Wu Qingfeng's growth over the past three years, his breakthroughs in understanding the laws, and even the improvement in his genetic level: "You're back. Judging from the aura of the laws around you, there has been a qualitative leap. It seems that the inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God has indeed brought you great gains, and you have not disappointed your master's expectations."

"Thanks entirely to Master's daily teachings and protection, I successfully reached the secret realm. Although there were some dangers, I was fortunate enough to obtain the complete inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God." Wu Qingfeng bowed and replied. Then, with a thought, the golden-white light of the inheritance ring surged, and the illusory image of the Light-Time Evolution Palace slowly emerged, hovering steadily in front of him. "During this trip to the secret realm, I not only comprehended the profound mysteries of the Light-Time Fusion Law and honed my own secret techniques, but also obtained many treasures left behind by the Beast God. Master, is there anything you need? I respectfully offer them to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng waved his hand, and the phantom images of five supreme treasures flew out from the Light and Time Evolution Hall, hovering neatly in the center of the hall. The overwhelming aura of these supreme treasures swept across the entire area—the peak supreme treasure, the Time Moon Shuttle, a psychic weapon with intricate light and time runes flowing across its body, containing the power to tear through space and time; the peak supreme treasure, the Light Evolution Armor, with its gold and white armor, capable of withstanding the full force of attacks from top-tier universe masters; the peak domain supreme treasure, the Starlight Sea, capable of evolving into billions of starlight domains to suppress enemy movements; the top-tier soul supreme treasure, the Soul Purifying Jade, capable of purifying soul attacks and greatly enhancing soul defense; and the top-tier wing supreme treasure, the Instant Light Wings, capable of harnessing the power of light and time, allowing for instantaneous teleportation even during spatial blockades in battle.

The aura of each treasure is breathtaking.

"Master, these six treasures were the main battle weapons of the Light-Time Beast God back then. They are of extremely high quality and extraordinary power." Wu Qingfeng looked earnestly at the Lord of Darkness. "I am currently only at the Realm Lord level, and it would be a waste for me to use these peak treasures to their full potential. I have nothing to repay you with, so I wish to give these treasures to you. Please select a few that are suitable for you, so that these treasures can be put to good use."

His words came from the bottom of his heart. The Lord of Darkness had shown him immense kindness, not only by accepting him as a personal disciple and bestowing upon him the Dark Magic Crystal, a soul treasure and core secret technique, but also by consistently protecting him and regarding him as his successor. He would always remember this kindness. Now that he had obtained so many supreme treasures, his first thought was to give them to his master, both to repay his master's kindness and to provide his master with additional combat strength.

The Lord of Darkness glanced at the six treasures floating before him, his eyes showing no envy, but rather a smile of satisfaction. He slowly raised his hand, and a gentle yet irresistible dark power surged forth, gently pushing the treasures back.

"Disciple, I appreciate your kindness." His voice remained ethereal and elusive, yet carried a gentle power as it reached Wu Qingfeng's ears: "These treasures are the legacy of the Light-Time Beast God. They are the most suitable treasures for your main cultivation of the Light-Time Fusion Law, and will be a crucial aid for your future breakthroughs in comprehending the Law of Treasures and reaching higher realms. I have cultivated for countless epochs, traversing the cosmic sea year after year, experiencing countless perilous places. The treasures I possess are no less valuable than these, and some are even more compatible with my soul's Law of Treasures than these treasures of the Light-Time Beast God."

Wu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

The Lord of Darkness is a top-tier fifth-order universe lord, one of humanity's strongest hidden trump cards. He has been adventuring in the cosmic sea for many years, accumulating wealth far exceeding that of ordinary universe lords. He must possess many top-tier treasures, and may even have top-grade treasures. The treasures of the Light-Time Beast God may not be as suitable as the one used by the teacher, but the top-grade palace treasure, the Light-Time Evolution Palace, is definitely an excellent life-saving treasure.

"But Master..." Wu Qingfeng wanted to persuade him further, but before he could finish speaking, the Lord of Darkness gently interrupted him with a raised hand. "No need for further words." The Lord of Darkness's eyes were full of expectation. "It is already rare for you to have such a respectful attitude towards your master. Although you are currently a Realm Lord, your talent is heaven-defying and your foundation is solid. In the future, you will surely break through to the Universe Lord, and even challenge for the position of the strongest in the universe. These treasures should be saved for when you break through to Immortality, advance to the Venerable, and even step into the realm of the Universe Lord. They will be enough to maximize their value and help you go further."

He paused, his tone growing increasingly solemn: "You've obtained the inheritance of the First Light-Time Beast God, successfully elevated your avatar's genetic level, and achieved a leap forward in your understanding of the laws, making your foundation even more solid. This is the best reward of your journey to the secret realm. Remember, treasures are ultimately external forces; they can help you temporarily, but they cannot protect you forever. Only your own understanding of the laws and your own strength are the foundation for standing firm in the universe and traversing the starry sky. Your most important task now is to strive to comprehend the laws. You must know that your original core requires the pinnacle secret techniques of a Universe Lord to break through its shackles and achieve immortality! This is your primary task, disciple. Other matters can be considered after you've comprehended the secret techniques! After all, your perfect genetic level isn't due to an innate special life form, but rather a fusion of wondrous objects. You'd better calculate your time according to the ten million epochs limit of a Realm Lord!"

"Disciple will remember Master's teachings!" Wu Qingfeng bowed deeply, his heart filled with emotion and respect. He understood that the Lord of Darkness did not look down on these treasures, but rather did not want to take away what his disciple desired. He hoped that these treasures could truly help him grow. This good intention made him even more determined not to let his master down.

The Lord of Darkness nodded slightly, his gaze falling once more on Wu Qingfeng: "Now that you have finished sorting out the inheritance of the Light-Time Beast God, go back to your secluded cultivation. You may ask me any questions at any time. Be sure to calm your mind and further advance the Light-Time Fusion Law, breaking through the seventh level of the Light-Time Inheritance. Even without comprehending the Beast God's Heart, you can still create your own peak secret technique as a Universe Lord. Alternatively, following the path of your created ultimate secret technique, further comprehend and integrate the Light-Time Fusion Law and the Fire-Void Fusion Law, creating your own peak secret technique as a Universe Lord as soon as possible, breaking the shackles of the original core, and successfully achieving immortality."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher." Wu Qingfeng bowed again, then put the many treasures into the Light and Time Evolution Palace and slowly left the Shadow Palace.
