Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 121 The Fifth Evolution of the Azure Dragon Clone

After a moment of contemplation, the Lord of Ice Peak looked at Shen Mu.

"Among the billions of races in the cosmic sea, heaven-defying secret techniques are not uncommon, and they come in a wide variety of forms."

"The Divine Eye Clan's direct lineage's Divine Eye Secret Technique, the Skeleton Clan's powerful defensive secret techniques, the Blood Orchid Clan's powerful domain-type secret techniques..."

The Lord of Ice Peaks gave Shen Mu a brief introduction to the powerful races of the Cosmic Sea.

Among them, the most unavoidable are the Divine Eye Clan and the Skeleton Clan.

These two races were born in the same era. Although the Skeleton Race was also very powerful, their average talent was not as good as that of the Divine Eye Race.

The Divine Eye Clan possesses innate soul-related talents comparable to the Insect Clan, making them exceptionally skilled in soul attacks. The Skeleton Clan, on the other hand, is a soulless race; these two groups are mortal enemies.

However, among all the races in the vast universe, the Divine Eye Clan is the most talented, possessing seven individuals comparable to the founder of the Giant Axe Clan. This is truly a remarkable achievement.

Even the number of true gods in the two holy lands of the Cosmic Sea is not as large as that of the Divine Eye Clan.

The reason these two holy lands have been able to exist for so long is because a heaven-defying being has emerged in the race. Such an individual achievement is not counted in the race's potential and foundation.

Just as the human race once had a progenitor who was considered invincible in the cosmic sea, this does not mean that the human race has high talent.

In terms of talent, the most talented bloodline among the human race is only at the Domain Lord level. Let alone comparing them to the top races in the cosmic sea, even among the six peak races of the primordial universe, the human race has the lowest starting point.

They lack both bloodline and genetics, and possess neither a large divine body nor a high-level divine body; they rely entirely on their own opportunities and hard work.

After giving a brief introduction to several powerful cosmic sea races, the Lord of Ice Peaks said, "These are all race-type life forms. Their genetic materials are relatively easy to obtain, and they all have reserves in their race treasuries."

"In addition to these, there are some powerful special life forms, such as Qiuyan, Leibaoxing, Yintuo, and so on."

"These life forms are few in number, and they are all powerful beings in the cosmic sea, including some comparable to the creators of the giant axe."

"So if you intend to choose these secrets of life, you'll need to wait a while."

While introducing these life talent secret techniques to Shen Mu, the Lord of Ice Peak also sent Shen Mu detailed information about them, allowing him to choose carefully.

Shen Mu values ​​three things.

One of them is the Divine Eye Clan's Divine Eye Secret Technique, which confirms that the Divine Eye Secret Technique possesses extremely powerful soul attack capabilities as well as extremely powerful soul defense capabilities.

As for its exact power, this human race is unsure. However, based on their years of experience dealing with the Divine Eye Clan, their soul defense is terrifying, likely capable of weakening soul attacks by at least a hundredfold.

Another one is the special life form Yin Tuo, which possesses the most heaven-defying defensive secret technique in the universe, capable of weakening any material attack by ten thousand times. If it also has a defensive treasure, it can weaken material attacks by a hundred million times.

However, the genetic material of Tuo is not found in the treasure trove of humankind.

The last one is a domain-type secret technique of the Blood Orchid clan, whose power is no less than that of a peak-level domain treasure. This is a special life form similar to the World Tree, possessing an enormous divine body.

Although the Blood Orchid Clan is called a clan, it actually consists of only four people. The strongest is the Blood Orchid Ancestor, an existence on par with the Giant Axe Founder, and is a naturally special life form.

As for the remaining three Blood Orchids, they were created by the Blood Orchid Ancestor through special abilities, and their relationship is similar to that of the strongest World Tree and the minor World Trees.

"Teacher, I choose the Divine Eye Clan's Divine Eye Secret Technique."

After a brief consideration, Shen Mu chose the Divine Eye Clan almost without hesitation.

Although the Blood Orchid, as a special life form, and Yin Tuo's innate secret techniques were good, the opponent's realm was simply too high.

At that time, we will probably encounter the same situation as the innate beast god, which is that the time required to analyze the secret method is extremely long.

However, the Divine Eye Clan is different; the human race contains genetic material of direct descendants of the Divine Eye Clan who are at the Realm Lord level.

As for how it was obtained, it was acquired through exchange, of course.

After Shen Mu revealed his true colors, the clan began collecting genetic materials from various powerful life forms for him.

The Divine Eye Clan is a race from the first era of reincarnation, and they are about to perish.

After the destruction of the primordial universe, the only way to survive is to go to a smaller universe.

Even the strongest microcosm is not eternal; it can only last for the time it takes for three primordial universes to perish and reincarnate, which is three reincarnation eras.

If they cannot break through to a higher realm within these three cycles of reincarnation, they will be completely destroyed, and the entire clan will perish.

The Divine Eye Clan had already experienced the destruction of the primordial universe twice, and the entire clan was consumed by rage. At this point, they didn't care about the leakage of their genetic material or being spawned into clones by other races.

The Divine Eye Clan is willing to pay as long as the human race is willing to do so.

"no problem."

The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded and then said, "Also, the Time Palace you applied for has been approved."

"The race provides resources free of charge to maintain the Time Palace at a hundred times the time flow rate, but the request to accelerate the flow rate by ten thousand times within the Giant Axe Universe has not been approved."

The clan was aware that Shen Mu wanted to use time acceleration to quickly analyze the secret technique.

But in the eyes of those cosmic lords, this was completely unnecessary.

It's just a matter of being a little slower. Staying at the Realm Lord level for a few more years is fine, since the speed of comprehending laws is extremely fast anyway.

However, increasing the flow of time in the small universe of the Giant Axe Founder to ten thousand times the speed of the original universe would come at a huge cost, and most importantly, it would be too much of a burden for the Giant Axe Founder himself.

The strongest being in the universe is said to possess endless divine power because it has a small universe as a backup hidden energy source, and its divine power recovery speed is terrifyingly high, which is why it is said to possess endless divine power.

However, if the flow of time within the miniature universe were increased by ten thousand times, it would become a burden for the creator of the giant axe, making it impossible to maintain the state of "endless divine power".

"A hundred times is fine, the clan has already given me enough." Shen Mu wasn't a greedy person.

10 years accelerated by a hundredfold is equivalent to a thousand years.

Anyway, Shen Mu planned to stay at the Realm Lord level for several thousand years, which would be enough.

……

A primeval secret realm, on the planet Xue Tong.

The moment Shen Mu's consciousness exited the virtual universe, the race had already delivered the genetic materials that Shen Mu needed.

The being who came to escort the genetic material was a cosmic venerable, who seemed to be a close friend of his senior sister, Venerable Bai Feng, and the two even reminisced for a while.

After signing for the package, Shen Mu immediately went into seclusion.

Inside the secure room made of G-grade metal, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, with a world ring floating in mid-air in front of him.

Inside this world ring is a small world with a diameter of about one million kilometers, filled with endless cosmic crystal 'peaks'.

This is a total of 10 trillion Chaos Units of Cosmic Crystals, enough for Shen Mu's Time Palace to consume at a hundredfold acceleration for a very long time.

At the highest peak of the Cosmic Crystal Mountains, there is a wooden house about one kilometer in circumference, which is the so-called Time Palace.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure disappeared from the spot, entered the world ring, and appeared in front of the wooden house.

hum!

A wisp of world power seeped into the Time Palace, and the spiritual imprint within it directly merged into it, thus completing the Time Palace's recognition of its master.

At the same time, a corresponding piece of information flooded into Shen Mu's mind: it was the instruction manual for the Time Palace.

The time acceleration factor in this Time Palace can be divided into six levels.

These are two times, five times, ten times, twenty times, fifty times, and the highest time flow rate of one hundred times.

As the time flow rate increases, the energy consumed also increases exponentially.

Even at the lowest rate of double the time flow, if maintained for a few million years, the resources consumed would exceed the cost of this Time Palace.

However, for the strong, a mere few times acceleration is almost meaningless. What traps them is the bottleneck, and without a sudden enlightenment, it would probably take tens of thousands of epochs or even longer to grind it down little by little.

"100x Time Flow, Activate!"

As Shen Mu's thoughts stirred, the entire Time Palace roared, and countless cosmic crystals around it began to burn, transforming into endless energy that flowed into the Time Palace.

hum!

An invisible, strange energy permeated the entire Time Palace, an energy fluctuation that was very close to the fundamental laws of time in the universe.

Even though Shen Mu had hardly grasped the mysteries of the fundamental laws of time, he could still sense that the spacetime around him was undergoing some kind of change.

However, being inside the Time Palace, Shen Mu could not directly perceive the changes in the flow of time.

However, through the perception of the Yan God Clan clone, Shen Mu was able to easily confirm that he was now under a time flow rate of a hundred times.

Shen Mu's mind stirred, and he sensed it slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"It seems to be effective. As long as the time of the protocore is accelerated by a hundred times, the speed of deciphering the secret method can be accelerated by a hundred times."

Shen Mu's gaze fell on the wooden table in the Time Palace.

The wooden table was filled with hundreds of world rings, each containing the genetic material of a powerful life form.

It can only be said that the group is very efficient. It has only been a little over a hundred years since Shen Mu began to reveal his hand, and they have already obtained so much genetic material.

"Oh, there's even genetic material from the World Tree. Looks like I won't need to take any more risks to create clones in the future."

Shen Mu's consciousness seeped into each of the world rings, examining the details of these genetic materials.

The genetic materials sent by the tribe almost all came from extremely powerful special life forms or powerful races with extremely powerful secret techniques.

Many of them were famous in the primordial universe.

Besides the World Tree, there are also creatures like the Mountain-Mountain-Shaking and the Cold Whale, all of which are extremely famous and extraordinary life forms in the primordial universe. They are not only extremely large in size, but also have extremely high levels of life genes.

"It's a pity there's no sea of ​​blood."

It's estimated that the race doesn't know that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is not a unique life form in the universe; their population has reached three digits.

"Very good, let's begin the analysis now."

With a thought, streams of light flew out from the many world rings and were then absorbed into Shen Mu's inner world.

These materials include scales, rocks, fur, and even just a drop of blood; in short, all sorts of things are available.

A large portion of them consisted of divine materials whose vitality and soul imprints had been extinguished, radiating a powerful aura.

hum!

An invisible force of decomposition enveloped the numerous biological materials, and then began to analyze them.

"Genetic analysis of the World Lord-level Skeleton Clan members is underway and is expected to take 17 days."

"Genetic analysis of the Lord-level Giant Nether Python is underway and is expected to take 1.6 days."

"Genetic information analysis of the World Lord-level Divine Eye Clan is underway... It is estimated to take 3 years."

"Analysis of the World Tree of special life forms at the World Lord level is underway and is expected to take 7.3 years."

"..."

"Analysis of the mountain-carrying earthquake by a special life form of cosmic venerable level is underway, and it is estimated to take 6900 years."

"Analysis of the Cold Whale, a special life form at the Cosmic Venerable level, is underway and is estimated to take 7500 years."

A stream of information feedback came in, and the progress of analyzing these genetic materials varied depending on the level of cultivation.

Most of the realm lords require several days to reach the highest level, with the longest taking about 7 years.

Immortals, on the other hand, take several years to reach the starting point, and the longest can take thousands of years.

As for the Cosmic Venerable level, the starting point is several hundred years, and the longest requires several thousand years.

"This Divine Eye Clan is indeed special. The analysis time of this race of life forms is actually longer than that of 99% of special life forms."

It should be noted that the genetic materials that the clan sent to Shen Mu were almost all from the level of special life forms with a thousand times the strength.

A small portion of them are special life forms with hundreds of times the genetic diversity, but they all possess some unique and powerful secret techniques.

The Divine Eye Clan, although also of peak bloodline, only possesses ten times the genetic power, yet their analysis time is a staggering three years or more.

This timeframe is already at the average level for genetically modified life forms with a thousand times the genetic diversity.

"As expected of the Divine Eye Clan, a single clan can have seven True Gods and nearly a hundred Universe Lords. They truly have something special about them."

In one cycle of reincarnation, seven true gods and nearly a hundred cosmic lords emerged. Moreover, according to Shen Mu's knowledge, the number of members of the Divine Eye Clan was far less than that of the Starry Sky Beast Clan.

This ratio is ridiculously exaggerated. Especially considering that the Divine Eye Clan has seven true gods.

It is important to understand that after the destruction of the primordial universe, it became impossible to break through to the level of a true god.

When the Lord of the Universe ascends to the level of a True God, the Divine Kingdom will evolve into a miniature universe. The process of the Divine Kingdom's evolution requires nourishment from the origin of the universe.

The primordial universe has been destroyed, so where did the origin of the universe come from to allow your divine kingdom to advance to a miniature universe?

Even those two great holy land universes only have two or three true gods.

……

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Time Palace, Shen Mu, who was sitting cross-legged and comprehending the laws, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The genetic analysis of the Divine Eye Clan has finally been completed."

A surge of relevant information flooded into Shen Mu's mind.

"The innate secret technique 'Divine Heart' increases the speed of thought processing a hundredfold. Once in the Divine Heart state, no emotions arise. The side effect is that it places an enormous burden on the soul, and maintaining the Divine Heart state for a long time can easily lead to soul collapse."

"The innate secret technique 'Divine Eye' is a soul-type secret technique that can condense a phantom of a divine eye, weakening soul attacks by a hundredfold. Copying this secret technique grants the Divine Eye Clan's powerful soul-type talent."

After seeing the detailed information about these two talent techniques, Shen Mu suddenly understood.

"No wonder the Divine Eye Clan can produce so many powerful individuals."

"This divine mind technique can prevent the birth of all emotions and can also increase the speed of thought processing by a hundredfold. Its advantage in comprehending the laws is too great."

Shen Mu only learned about it briefly, but ultimately chose the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

Because the Divine Eye Secret Technique can also provide Shen Mu with the powerful soul talent of the Divine Eye Clan, while the Divine Heart Secret Technique does not have this effect.

As for the so-called divine mind secret method, it is not very meaningful in principle. Although the pseudo "state of mind" obtained through this secret method is also very powerful, it is unnecessary.

Moreover, there's a saying that the highest level of enlightenment is to forget emotions, not to be heartless. This Divine Heart Secret Technique is a bit extreme, and Shen Mu doesn't feel good about it.

"Choose solidification, the secret technique of divine eyes!"
