This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 367 Rapid Progress, Nurtured by the Heavens

In the virtual universe, in the public area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain, inside a teahouse.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. I've already asked our teacher. Luo Feng's life force still exists within the Star Tower, but we can't pinpoint its exact location."

"Although I don't know Luo Feng's current situation, he has been outstanding all these years. I believe that with his talent and luck, he will definitely not be defeated so easily."

"After escaping danger, we might reap great benefits, and our future will be smooth sailing, with this situation never to happen again —"

Ye Yang comforted Xu Xin, who looked haggard.

With Ye Yang backing him up, no one with any ulterior motives dared to covet everything the Luo family had, so Xu Xin was simply worried about Luo Feng.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Ye Yang continued to study the law runes on his treasures.

However, with his current understanding of the laws, he was not yet able to unleash the power of the supreme treasure to the third level. Therefore, after studying all the equipment at hand to the second level of secret runes, Ye Yang opened the third volume of the "Cosmic Chaos Manuscript".

By combining cultivation treasures such as the Serpent Bead and the Cosmic Chaos Stele, he continued to comprehend the laws of spacetime fusion and deduce the secret patterns of the serpent scales.

Time flies by as if it were free.

Deep within the Star Tower, in the main hall.

Luo Feng opened his eyes.

"Child—" A warm voice came from the heart. Luo Feng immediately stood up and saw two great beings exuding terrifying auras standing in the hall.

One figure was the familiar "Universe Lord Puti," while the other was an old man in blue armor with transparent, crystalline horns on his forehead. At this moment, the towering old man, 900 meters tall, was looking down at Luo Feng.

"I—can no longer sense the fundamental laws of the universe! Could this be the strongest being in the universe?"

Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock.

Not long after, Luo Feng, who had been taken by that alien powerhouse on a faster-than-light tour of the Star Tower, understood everything.

Earth was the testing ground created by that alien powerful being. This alien powerful being wanted to cultivate an incomparably outstanding disciple. First, he cultivated the Yan God Clan. When he was not satisfied, he created the Solar System and cultivated the Earthlings.

The Star Tower was the most powerful treasure he prepared for the leaders of the Earthlings!

In addition, there is a mysterious metal plate containing the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," and the supreme treasure "Tribulation Armor" capable of nurturing general and king armor.

Now, Luo Feng has become the third disciple of this powerful alien race.

Only then did Luo Feng recall what Puti had told him before: the last person to attempt to claim mastery of the Star Tower was Ye Yang.

"Brother, you really missed a great opportunity!"

Luo Feng sighed inwardly, but he wouldn't underestimate himself. After all, there was no room for trickery in the life-or-death test of the Star Tower of Recognition. If Ye Yang failed, he failed; if Luo Feng succeeded, he succeeded.

After obtaining the supreme treasure "Star Map" and collecting a large number of sealed stars from the Star Tower, Luo Feng returned to the territory of the human race.

During the journey, he finally had time to log into the virtual universe to see what had happened over the years.

Then—he stared in disbelief: "My—my brother—not only became an immortal, but he also directly killed three cosmic venerables?!"

"Among them, there was a low-level Venerable One, a high-level Venerable One, and finally, a main battle avatar of a cosmic overlord who arrived, and he still managed to kill them all?"

Luo Feng blinked; this news was indeed quite explosive.

It made him wonder if he had come to another parallel universe.

After paying his respects to the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng immediately went back to see his family and learned from Xu Xin about Ye Yang's assistance to the Luo family.

So the next day, he went to visit Ye Yang.

"Big brother, you can kill the Universe Venerable just like that. You're really something!" Luo Feng grinned and gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe, you'll be able to do it too once you advance to Immortality," Ye Yang said with a smile.

"Haha, then I'll take your good wishes, brother." Luo Feng laughed. "By the way, this treasure was left behind in the Star Tower, wasn't it, brother?"

He took out the Soul-Suppressing Bell and placed it in front of Ye Yang.

Ye Yang didn't stand on ceremony and nodded directly, accepting the gift: "Indeed."

Then Ye Yang took out a transparent box, inside which you could see a fluffy white thing.

"Fourth brother, are you still troubled by the quota for the third clone?"

Ye Yang smiled with great interest and looked at Luo Feng: "Over the years, I have searched everywhere and have indeed discovered quite a few incredibly powerful life forms."

"But the most incredible one is this [primordial strain]."

He took out this most primitive primordial strain and gave it to Luo Feng, just to see how many destiny points he could harvest by changing Luo Feng's third clone's choice!

Now that Ye Yang has grown stronger, ordinary backlashes from fate can hardly harm him.

"Anyway, the human race is determined to protect him as the future ruler of the universe," while the alien races are trying their best to find a way to kill him.

The two sides are already locked in a life-or-death struggle with no room for maneuver, so there's no need to hold back for fear of the plot being too "drastic."

Explain the three innate abilities of the primordial strain, including the incredible effects and benefits of combining these abilities, and how differentiating the bacterial colony can lead to the acquisition of a colossal divine body.

Luo Feng's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape.

"The initial life gene count of the original bacterial strain is not high, so your internal world should be able to successfully nurture it."

"One more thing, if some extraordinary special life genes have too high a multiplier and the body world cannot nurture them, then you can try cultivating that 'Secret Manual' to raise the life gene level of the Golden Horned Beast clone to 10081 times. There will be a surprise."

"The pronucleus and the inner world will be specially strengthened, and should be able to support and nurture even more extraordinary life forms."

Ye Yang spoke casually. Although he wanted to see how the plot would be twisted after Luo Feng also chose to nurture the primordial fungus as his third clone, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Luo Feng chose to nurture the World Tree clone.

Of course, if Luo Feng ultimately chooses to nurture the Nether Sea, then Ye Yang can only say that the power of fate is too strong.

He wouldn't force or deceive Luo Feng; he would simply tempt him with tangible benefits.

"Brother, thank you very much." Luo Feng looked grateful and excited, but still said, "This primordial strain is quite good, but I still want to continue searching. After all, the universe is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps there are even more heaven-defying or more suitable strains for me. Besides, I am still far from advancing to immortality."

Ye Yang nodded; Luo Feng's answer was not unexpected.

Moreover, this was merely a casual attempt by him to manipulate fate.

Several hundred years later.

Luo Feng contacted Ye Yang, who was quietly cultivating, through the virtual universe.

He shared information about the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" from the third Heavenly Soul Crystal he had recently acquired.

In this way, by combining the contents of the first two Heavenly Soul Crystals, one can cultivate the third, fourth, and fifth tribulations of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual!

It took several hundred years for Ye Yang's three fungal avatars to transform into flesh and blood Tai Sui, cultivate the third tribulation until they reached 400 times the basic life genes, and then activate the power of Blood Luo, instantly reaching the perfect limit of 10081 times the genes!

However, since the giant beast forms in the three clones had all achieved perfect genes and had received the original cosmic blessings a total of three times, there were no more anomalies or gifts this time.

Afterwards, Ye Yang's three human avatars continued to cultivate the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," increasing the ratio of the third, fourth, and fifth tribulations from 72 times to 144 times, 288 times, and 400 times respectively!

Originally, he hadn't fully cultivated the fifth tribulation, but after reaching a base level of 400, unleashing the power of Bloodlust immediately propelled him into the 10th level.

081 times the perfect limit!

At this point, the genetic levels of all nine clones had reached perfection, and the three human clones also grew taller and larger, reaching a height of over 90,000 kilometers.

Then Ye Yang discovered that the "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" technique, fixed as a talent secret method, could still retain 1008.1.

The reserves of the divine body are equivalent to the actual divine body of a human clone, which is about 90 kilometers in height.

Of course, it's still nothing compared to the fungal clones.

"Fourth brother, this is a rather interesting and mysterious inheritance that I obtained by chance. I'll make a copy for you, hoping it will inspire you to create secret techniques."

Ye Yang handed Luo Feng a booklet containing gameplay information for the "Dao Evolution Diagram" from low to high levels, along with tens of thousands of illustrations.

Those tens of thousands of illustrations are actually classic illustrations compiled by countless Daoist Diagram enthusiasts (at the level of immortals and above) of the Immortal Alliance, containing many thoughts of the immortal paths of the heavens.

Ye Yang felt that Luo Feng's growth was too slow, and as Ye Yang's strength increased, he would soon enter the stage of fully exploring the dungeon world.

At that time, the Devouring World will be truly integrated into the Myriad Worlds System of the Star Immortal Alliance. For the sake of the Destiny Point, Ye Yang will stir up trouble in the Devouring World, and the backlash fluctuations on the world's destiny trajectory will definitely be very intense!

He hoped that Luo Feng, the main character of the story, would grow up quickly and help him fight against the predetermined fate of this world.

Luo Feng is trapped in the Ice Prison, surrounded by wolves, and needs to improve his strength.

However, external factors are no longer sufficient to improve his abilities, so he now focuses his energy on creating his own secret techniques. Therefore, Luo Feng is quite attentive to the mysterious inheritance that Ye Yang specifically entrusted to him.

This research immediately opened the door to a new world!

This can be considered the first step in "opening one's eyes to see all worlds".

"Phew~ After a thousand years of cultivation, I've almost fully digested the impact of cultivating in the Devouring World after advancing to Star Lord."

"Next, in the main world and all the myriad realms, there will be even more resources for growth!"

Ye Yang's consciousness swept across the blazing Ying Hongxing, and then looked around at the surrounding space.

-

He has obtained approval from the relevant departments of the Immortal Alliance to build his own constellation in this starry sky. The plan is to build 1 main star, 3 auxiliary stars, and 8 screen satellites, with a total of 12 stars in the first phase of the project.

As his Destiny Points dwindled, Ye Yang extracted all 11 stars, large and small, from his own star system territory that had devoured the world.

Then, he began to slowly refine it using the Star Ascension Method.

With his current strength in the Great Dao, refining and controlling 12 stars at the same time is not a problem.

In fact, the energy level of Ying Hongxing's burst is enough for Ye Yang to unleash the peak combat power of a Star Lord.

However, adding more auxiliary stars to form a constellation formation can make the main star more stable and may even slow down the core reaction and extend the lifespan of the star!

The increased stability is very important, which means that the time for peak power bursts will be greatly extended, and even if peak power bursts are performed for a long time, it will not cause the star core to explode out of control.

While refining 11 stars at the same time, Ye Yang sent out a main battle immortal body completely filled with Taiji immortal power to the Boundless Palace.

He will also be attending a grand award ceremony.

Received the official title prefix "Rescue".

This ceremony was held by the authorities to commend those who made contributions in the fight against the "Void Plague".

There is glory, and there are also tangible benefits.

Ye Yang's accumulated merits can also be realized after this conference.

"Minghong Star Lord, this Celestial Star Seal was actually prepared for you. Even after you advance to True Lord, it will still be an extremely useful magic weapon. Among the meritorious officials present, only you can directly exchange it for your merits. Are you sure you don't want to choose it?"

After the meeting, Jade Virtue True Lord, who was in charge of redeeming the prizes, looked at Ye Yang to confirm.

"Senior Yu De, although this Heavenly Star Seal is good, it allows me to now possess power that surpasses the peak of Star Lord and is barely comparable to True Lord. However, I am still only the weakest True Lord, and my shortcomings in other aspects are still obvious."

"I'd rather seek a real breakthrough than a temporary increase in combat power."

Ye Yang replied in this way.

"Oh?" Jade Virtue True Monarch raised an eyebrow and smiled gently, "It's good that you want to continue to be courageous and diligent, but at your stage, it's already extremely difficult to improve. To take another step forward and achieve the Profound Truth, it generally takes at least a million years."

"It's not impossible that it could even take hundreds of millions of years. There are many variables in between. For example, in seven thousand years of galactic time, we will be free from the great void of the universe. At that time, we should seize the opportunity to improve our combat power."

Ye Yang thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the reminder, True Lord, but please still help me exchange for the items on this list."

Jade Virtue True Lord nodded and did not continue to persuade him, helping Ye Yang deal with the issues one by one.

Then he handed Ye Yang a storage ring: "The token you wanted is inside."

Ye Yang scanned the ring with his divine sense and saw the 31 tokens inside, feeling somewhat expectant.

"With my merits, I can at most exchange for opportunities to consult with 31 True Lords, each lasting a month. There are over a hundred True Lords from the [Time and Space] faction on the selection list, and these 31 I choose are the very best."

However, the ultimate benefit of consulting these great masters depends on my own abilities.

The True Lords of the Immortal Alliance have very precious time. At least in the current situation, it would be difficult for Ye Yang, a newly promoted Star Lord, to arrange a meeting with these True Lords.

Even the most powerful True Lord only had a slight connection with these True Lords and could exchange a few words with them.

But getting someone to stop what they're doing and come over to teach someone else for a month is difficult unless the offer is very attractive.

Therefore, such opportunities are rare.

Besides these 31 tokens, Ye Yang still had some merit points left to exchange, so he exchanged them for a precious material to use for refining magic weapons later.

Afterwards, Ye Yang went to pay his respects to the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering.

This Celestial Venerable once made a promise to Ye Yang, and now Ye Yang wants to fulfill it.

"Speak, what do you want?" The Savior of Suffering looked at Ye Yang and asked with a kind smile.

Ye Yang stated directly, "Your Excellency, I wish to access all information regarding the myriad realms and universes!"

"Aside from those that are too confidential or too precious for me to see, all the cultivation techniques, spells, theories, and research summaries collected from the dungeon worlds—"

The Savior of Suffering stroked his beard: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles?"

After reaching a certain stage in cultivation, they would travel to various places to study, which is an ancient tradition of the Immortal Alliance cultivators.

Back when interstellar transportation technology was not advanced, the fastest way to transmit information was at the speed of light. If you wanted to learn new knowledge created by cultivators in different star systems, you had to fly there in person to study.

In the era of the heavens, the scope of study tours was expanded to all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Ye Yang's request was clearly preparation for a trip.
