Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 209 Summer Breeze Clone Technique

The capital of the ancient kingdom of Yanfeng.

Each emperor has his own exclusive city, personally crafted by the Flame Wind Ancestor, which can detect every alien race that enters it.

He was extremely proficient in the study of cause and effect. If it weren't for the power limit on the Origin Continent, those god-kings who dared to challenge him would probably have been completely annihilated.

The capital city was more prosperous and magnificent than the Chu capital. The Yanfeng Ancestor lived alone in the sacred land, but would occasionally come to the capital city to stay for some time.

Although the path of cultivation is said to be against the will of Heaven, there may be opportunities for breakthroughs hidden in the mortal world.

Zhou Lin and Yuan Zu arrived outside the west gate of the capital. There were thirty-six entrances to the city, and each entrance was filled with a large number of True Gods and Void True Gods waiting in line to enter.

The city walls soar into the clouds, stretching for trillions of kilometers, endlessly majestic, and the entire city seems to have no end, even more vast than a chaotic continent.

Each city gate was enormous, and garrisoned by squads of soldiers. Even the eternal gods who were high above in ordinary cities could only serve as guard leaders here, responsible for maintaining order.

"The capital of Yanfeng Kingdom is much larger than the Yinzhi City where I live."

The ancestor sighed, "Even a large city can't compare to this corner of the city."

The ancient kingdom is divided into three levels of large cities. The third level is no less than Huyang City. Above the first level are cities such as Chudu, Qingdu, and Mingdu, which were created by the Yanfeng Ancestor.

The capital city is even more superior to them. It was forged by the ancestor Yanfeng in ancient times and was repeatedly reinforced and modified by successive emperors.

The primordial being's level of understanding could only perceive that the city was vast, but in Zhou Lin's eyes, it was like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, where even the presence of an emperor could enhance his strength.

"The current ruling emperor's husband seems to be all about formations."

Zhou Lin and the Primordial Ancestor didn't need to go through so much trouble, because the passage below was for True Gods and Void True Gods to enter the city, while the Eternal True Gods had a different status.

He revealed the aura of an eternal true god, and then swaggered in from the middle of the city wall with the original ancestor.

To fly over the city walls, one would need to be a Chaos Great Sage or a God-King to have that authority; an Eternal True God is nothing special in the capital.

Zhou Lin plans to spend some time improving his strength first, reaching the pinnacle of the first level of the Cosmic God realm, before participating in the various battles on the Origin Continent.

A peaceful cultivation is necessary, as is a heated battle. It's absolutely impossible to stay at home all the time, staring at corpses and talking to yourself about breaking through levels.

Although his current combat power can be considered that of a hegemon, Zhou Lin's current survival and combat methods all rely on cause and effect. As long as he raises the Void Dao to the level of a cosmic god, there will be a qualitative change.

"Want to take a stroll around the city, Ancestor?" Zhou Lin originally intended to head straight to the place responsible for renting out cave dwellings, but seeing the Ancestor's excited expression, he interjected with a question.

The progenitor nodded: "I haven't really explored Yinzhi City much. I've been focused on cultivation, hoping to break through to the Eternal True God realm as soon as possible."

He didn't have time to wander around before. The Void God's status on the Origin Continent was so low that he was instantly killed by the Eternal God's gaze.

The progenitor was used to being high above others and looking down on everyone. He also worked extremely hard in his cultivation, fearing that he might die at the hands of a strong person one day.

"Let's go." Zhou Lin couldn't see the end of the capital city with just his eyes, and other methods of detection were also ineffective, as the city was shrouded in too many magic arrays.

The energy was almost materialized, and clouds and mist swirled everywhere. True Gods and Void Gods could only walk on the ground, while Eternal Gods flew in mid-air.

Chaos Realm giants are relatively rare.

Although it is a city, it contains various famous mountains and rivers, and even large lakes used to raise exotic beasts. There are no other forces in the capital.

The only forces here are those of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

The capital city completely prohibits void travel. Zhou Lin's Void Path can be forcibly used here, but it will probably attract unnecessary prying eyes.

"Beichen, how high are the city walls of this capital?" Yuanzu asked curiously. He could explore hundreds of millions of light-years in the cosmic sea without any problem.

But on the continent of origin, even the height of ordinary large cities cannot be seen.

“It’s about a third shorter than the sky over the Origin Continent.” Zhou Lin could see right through it: “The sky over the Origin Continent is generally a hundred trillion kilometers high.”

No wonder people say that heaven and earth are like a cage.

God-kings, especially those with infinite divine bodies, could be higher than the heavens if they were to fully reveal their true forms, but due to the rules, they must hunch over.

At the top of the sky, countless tiny universes float.

Within this miniature universe reside countless living beings.

Making a name for yourself on the Origin Continent will yield far more reputation points than on the other side of the Cosmic Sea, considering that even the Primordial Universe is far smaller than the Origin Continent.

Not to mention that most areas of the primordial universe were devoid of any life, including dark deserts, while the Origin Continent was a physical entity.

At this moment, the system also sounded a notification. Zhou Lin was too lazy to care about the unimportant rewards now, but the things that had been revealed this time made him particularly happy.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Summer Breeze Clone Technique]

Zhou Lin was overjoyed. He hadn't even had time to practice the Nan Yun Clone Technique before he could get a new one, since the Nan Yun Clone Technique was already of a relatively low quality.

None of them are as good as the clone technique of the Lord of Myriad Realms, which requires one to reach the second level of the Cosmic God realm to simultaneously maintain nine clones of the strongest combat power.

The "Summer Breeze Clone Technique" is absolutely top-tier, allowing Zhou Lin to cultivate 10081 clones at the first level of the Cosmic God realm, maintaining the strongest nine clones' combat power.

In other words, he only needs to cultivate any branch of the Void Path to its ultimate level, and then there is no need to continue. He can spend his time on the path he should be cultivating.

After spending five Earth time exploring the city with the original ancestor, they only saw a corner of the western city. When the two passed by a palace renting out cave dwellings, they went inside.

"An eternal true god, and a void true god?" The maids at the door glanced at Zhou Lin and the Primordial Ancestor, feeling quite disdainful, but daring not to show it.

Zhou Lin's Wuwangyi was a black robe in his own eyes, but others saw it differently, while this maid looked so ordinary.

The cave dwellings within the capital that can be rented or bought are extremely expensive. An Eternal True God might be able to afford them if he gritted his teeth, but it would be almost impossible for a Void True God.

A very beautiful maid stepped forward. She had been assigned to greet Zhou Lin and his companion, and said in a cool voice, "Are you here to rent a cave dwelling?"

"My fellow Daoist and I wish to rent a cave dwelling," Zhou Lin said softly. "Could you please lead the way?"

Unlike the Chaos Palace in Huyang City, this palace has only one entrance, meaning it doesn't differentiate between ranks, only whether you have money or not.

If there isn't enough cosmic sand, being driven out is a minor matter.

These forces are all official entities of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. If they dislike you, they can fabricate a crime and find a place to lock you up.

"This way, please." The maid maintained a polite smile, her legs tightly pressed together, her waist remaining still, clearly treating Zhou Lin and his companion as poor people.

Ordinary Eternal True Gods who come to rent cave dwellings can only rent the smallest and most dilapidated ones, so they don't get much of a commission. After entering the palace, the world before Zhou Lin and the Primordial Ancestor was completely transformed; it seemed to be a miniature universe, with chaotic energy swirling around it.

These chaotic currents are incomparable to those in the cosmic ocean.

At the highest point, three Eternal True Gods were seated, with six Void True Gods sitting beside them. They were all descendants of the royal family of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Ordinary Void Gods are not qualified to work here.

"The cave dwelling was rented here."

On the left table, a Void God who looked somewhat like an ape and was dressed in a blue robe suddenly spoke, showing none of the usual caution and deference of a Void God facing an Eternal God.

He didn't even get up to greet him. He had seen countless such eternal true gods before. When they came to the Fire Abyss Palace to inquire about the price of the cave dwelling, they would slink away after hearing about it.

"Let me see the model of your cave dwelling." Zhou Lin didn't care about the attitude of these ants. He came here to cultivate in peace and not even reveal his strength.

If conditions permit, places like the capital or the Chu capital are the most suitable for living and cultivating. Any other large city is likely to cause various troubles, and you might even be robbed or killed if you flaunt your wealth.

Just as he spoke, the Void God pointed his finger at the void, and a spherical model appeared, marked with various cave dwellings.

"This one, this one." Zhou Lin's divine sense was extremely sharp, and his thinking speed was ridiculously fast. He didn't need the other party to introduce him at all and selected two cave dwellings in a row.

The cave dwellings in the Fire Abyss Palace are only available for rent because the housing prices in the capital are unimaginably high, and most people in the Chaos Realm are unwilling to buy them directly.

"Cave No. 5715 and Cave No. 5716, the rental fee is 800 grains of cosmic sand per era." This Void God was very curious about how long Zhou Lin could rent them.

Many eternal true gods possess a fortune equivalent to only ten or twenty thousand cosmic grains of sand.

A bounty is offered on a top-tier eternal true god, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of cosmic sands.

“Each of them will have ten epochs of time.” Zhou Lin didn’t even blink before throwing out 16,000 units of cosmic sand, which was equivalent to the entire fortune of many Eternal True Gods.

They could only reside in this cave for twenty centuries.

Let alone the poor Eternal God, even the extremely wealthy might not be willing to spend so much, let alone have to pay fees for the Void God.

"My Fire Abyss Palace's cave dwelling is far more wondrous than the Chaos Ruins." The Ape-Man Void True God's attitude had also improved considerably. An Eternal True God who could casually produce tens of thousands of Chaos Sands to rent a cave dwelling must be extremely powerful.

Or they must have a powerful background.

The progenitor didn't dare to utter a sound. What was the concept of more than 10,000 cosmic sands? His previous earnings from working would probably not be enough even if he worked until the end of this cycle of reincarnation on the Origin Continent.

In Huyang City, purchasing a cave dwelling starting with the character "甲" only requires 500 cosmic sands to directly obtain ownership, not just the right to reside there.

And this capital city lease is 800 cosmic sands.

This is truly a case of every inch of land being incredibly valuable.

"Please tell me your name, Divine Lord." At this moment, the beautiful maid who had led the way also came up, her smile even brighter.

"My name is Meng Chuan, and his name is Qin Yun." Zhou Lin naturally couldn't use his real name, as his real name was also a kind of cause and effect.

"Lord Mengchuan, Lord Qinyun, would you like me to lead you to the location of your cave?" The maid looked at Zhou Lin with affection, seemingly indicating that she could provide him with some services.

The Void Gods and Eternal Gods who work in the palace are all descendants of royalty, while these Void God-level maids are truly just maids.

Even though there are commissions for renting out cave dwellings, the lion's share still goes to the higher-ups, so naturally they have to find ways to earn some extra money.

"No need." Zhou Lin has never developed feelings for any woman, let alone a female cultivator, in his cultivation so far.

After saying that, he and the Primordial Ancestor left the Fire Abyss Palace and followed the map to head towards the location of the cave. The capital was really too big, and it would take quite a while to fly there.

Even during the flight, Zhou Lin sensed that the giant axe had arrived at the Origin Continent. He originally intended to use his avatar to descend and pick it up, but after careful investigation, he discovered that it had actually arrived at the Nine Jiang Chaos Continent.

"Luo Feng, the giant axe landed in Jiujiang Chaos State. Go and bring him to the city." Zhou Lin could communicate with them without needing to go through the miniature universe.

The direct causal transmission can be achieved.

“Okay,” Luo Feng replied immediately.

Zhou Lin and Yuan Zu flew for twenty-three full days on Earth before finally arriving at the area where the cave was located, which was already in the southern part of the capital city.

The cave dwellings starting with number 123 are located in the center of the city, and those are extremely expensive. It is said that living there can help one comprehend the laws of chaos.

This is an insight that cannot be compared to the environment of the Chaos Ruins.

Zhou Lin and Yuan Zu entered the caves one after another. These two caves were 150,000 kilometers long and wide, and 85,000 kilometers high, which was relatively small for many cultivators.

But there's nothing we can do; this is the capital, a place where every inch of land is incredibly valuable.

The cave dwelling had an excellent environment, with abundant spiritual energy and a clear sense of the laws governing it. It contained numerous pavilions and towers, each inscribed with formations.

Even if an enemy attacks, the formation can hold out for some time.

After Zhou Lin entered, the first thing he did was to use the Yin Meridian Technique to confuse the heavenly secrets. Then, he repeatedly tapped the void with both hands to change the environment inside the cave.

Even if someone were to spy on the inside, they would only see Zhou Lin comprehending the laws of chaos, behaving like an eternal true god.

"I can focus on my cultivation now." Zhou Lin first comprehended the void. His progress in the Heavenly Phase was the highest, and cultivating this lineage to its ultimate level would also help with the Transcendent Teleportation Technique.

Once Void becomes a cosmic god, he can then cultivate the art of creating clones.

Comprehending this path is not slow. Zhou Lin has a certain talent for it. In just over three million days since the Origin Continent, he has deduced the celestial phenomena to their ultimate form and become a Void Dao Universe God.

By studying techniques along two complementary paths, their power will be greatly enhanced, even without merging them.

Zhou Lin spent some time combining the Five Phases Sealing Technique and the Endless Calamity Technique in a basic way, and then began to focus on cultivating the Summer Breeze Clone Technique.

It originated from the clone technique of the Xia Emperor.

Zhou Lin pointed his finger and unleashed two of the secret moves of the Twelve Styles of the Southern Cloud Saint, Breaking the Sky, which blasted open a membrane in the cave and directly connected it to the Hunyuan Space.

Through this black hole, he could also vaguely glimpse a higher level of worldview. If Zhou Lin dared to go out now, the terror would be instantly annihilated.

He felt a sense of fear, an unavoidable instinct for survival.

Zhou Lin activated the clone technique and began practicing the most advanced clone technique.
