Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 170 The Mountain Dweller's Treasure Refining Inheritance

Within the small universe of the Mountain Dweller, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, surrounded by an illusory phantom of a celestial palace.

In just over a decade, Shen Mu had successfully comprehended the first level of the secret runes of Baiyujing.

As the most basic secret rune, it is not difficult to comprehend, equivalent to mastering a second-tier secret technique.

"Bai Yujing, appear!"

Before Shen Mu, a palm-sized seal appeared out of thin air; it was none other than the White Jade Capital, a treasure shrunk countless times.

As a palace-type treasure resembling a city, even though its attack power is extremely strong, it is presented in the form of smashing people.

"Not bad. The strength of the Earthling's divine body is only a hundred times that of the universe overlord's genes, but when he activates Bai Yujing, he has the power of a third-order universe lord."

"We still need to evolve the Nether Sea Avatar to the level of ten thousand times its genetic potential as soon as possible. This mechanical treasure can only unleash its full power when activated by combined efforts!"

The 108 first-order universe masters who combined their power to unleash sixth-order power, as mentioned by Master Zuoshanke, were simply brute force combined attacks.

Shen Mu has now mastered the first level of the secret runes of Baiyujing. If he were to activate it using the mechanical flow method, reaching the peak of the seventh rank would not be a problem.

"Not bad, you've mastered the first level of the secret rune in such a short time."

A familiar voice echoed through the universe, and then the figure of the Mountain-Sitting Guest appeared in the void.

"Teacher." Shen Mu bowed slightly.

The mountain dweller smiled and nodded slightly, then his palm flashed with light and landed in front of Shen Mu.

A dazzling silver six-winged treasure unfolded, with eight complex law patterns faintly surging on each feather of the wings.

This is an enormous wing, with a wingspan of up to one light-year. Even without anyone activating it, the intricate patterns on the treasure stir the surrounding void, forming an incredibly powerful domain.

"Your human race's intelligence is quite accurate; these three pairs of wings are in the hands of the Purple Moon Holy Land."

"This time, I used an extremely powerful treasure, the 'Mist Blade,' to exchange for it. Perhaps the Purple Moon Holy Land will produce a person who can barely rival a tenth-tier expert."

As a standard weapon of the True God under the command of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the Mist Blade has almost no threshold for activation. There is no need to comprehend the complex laws and secret patterns within it; simply inject divine power directly.

The divine power, after being transformed through the core of the 'Mist Blade', will generate an extremely powerful attack force, enough to force the two ancient beings at the top of the eighth rank to barely unleash the combat power of the tenth rank.

"Teacher, don't worry. Even if a tenth-level expert is born in the Purple Moon Holy Land, I am not afraid."

Seeing Shen Mu's confidence, the Mountain Guest laughed and said, "Good, good, good. But my expectations for you are not just to reach the level of your human race's progenitor."

As Shen Mu and the Mountain Guest conversed, the eight-colored wings were buzzing, clearly echoing the Eternal Wings dormant within Shen Mu's body.

"Go."

With a thought, Shen Mu released the suppression he had placed on his own treasure.

Wow!

Incomparably profound law patterns spread out from the wings on Shen Mu's back, intertwining and merging with the secret patterns of the eight-colored wings.

Clang!

A sound like the ringing of swords rang out, and the feathers on the two winged treasures fell off wildly, turning into streams of light that intertwined again in the void.

Each silver feather has mysterious and complex patterns that appear and then connect with other law patterns.

The original Wu-killing wings were based on the two major laws of metal and space.

The Radiant Wings obtained after killing Venerable Tianyang later contained the two fundamental laws of light and time.

The eight-colored treasure wings that Master Zuoshanke brought back this time contain the power of time, space, and the eight laws of wind, thunder, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As the ten fundamental laws were completed, powerful pressure emanated from the ten-colored wings, naturally affecting the void within dozens of light-years around.

"This treasure should have a sixth pair of wings, making it twelve wings in its complete form."

Looking at the wings that were merging, the Mountain-Sitting Guest could judge the level of the 'Chaotic Golden Wings' at its peak simply by the exquisite craftsmanship of the wings.

Moreover, the Mountain Dweller is certain that the missing pair of wings should be the true core component of this treasure.

Five of the six pairs of wings have now been collected, but their power is only at the level of supreme treasure.

As a supreme treasure at the level of an eternal true god, its power would only drop so drastically if its core components were missing.

"As a core component, the power of this sixth pair of wings must be at the level of the strongest and most precious treasure."

The mountain dweller changed the subject, saying, "And in the entire universe, there are only two supreme treasure wings, so the core component of your wings probably hasn't been born yet."

A treasure that has not been born is as good as non-existent; it may never appear even after countless cycles of reincarnation.

Shen Mu was naturally aware of this, but he said aloud, "This disciple has always been lucky. Perhaps when I wander around the Cosmic Sea in the future, I will encounter the last pair of wings."

Seeing Shen Mu's optimistic attitude, Zuo Shan Ke shook his head with a laugh.

"Including the three treasures I promised to forge for you, and the parts I retrieved for this winged treasure, you and Luo Feng have been treated equally. Don't expect me to forge any more treasures for you in the future."

The mountain dweller had a premonition that if he made it clear that he would not help Shen Mu refine treasures, he would probably become a laborer for his three disciples in the future, doing nothing but refining treasures all day long.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu's smile vanished.

"No, teacher! Junior Brother Luo Feng's Star Tower is stronger than my Jade Palace. This is not fair."

The mountain dweller chuckled and said, "If you want treasures in the future, just make them yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a square blue stone tablet appeared in front of Shen Mu, with four mysterious ancient talismans on it.

Shen Mu recognized the meaning of the ancient symbol at a glance; it was the four characters "Miscellaneous Chapters on Weapon Refining".

"This is my master's weapon-refining legacy, which is naturally exquisite and unparalleled. With your current mastery of secret techniques, once you have completely mastered it, you will be a grandmaster of weapon refining."

Within the cosmic sea, the art of weapon crafting is divided into three levels: Master, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.

Those who can refine precious treasures are called treasure refinement masters; those who can refine supreme treasures are called treasure refinement grandmasters.

As for the Grandmaster of Treasure Refining who can forge the most powerful treasures, there is only one such master in the entire universe: Zuo Shan Ke.

Without the Mountain-Sitting Guest, the most powerful treasure would be a non-renewable resource.

"Your greatest achievement is the secret art of the soul. If you can create a fifth-tier soul defense secret art, refining a soul defense treasure of the peak level will not be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu looked at the ancient token with a slight emotion, and then raised his hand to put the token away.

"Thank you for passing on your knowledge, teacher!"

Shen Mu immediately bowed down, respectfully bowing to the guest seated on the mountain as a disciple.

The value of the weapon-refining inheritance of the Mountain-Sitting Guest is self-evident; even Luo Feng in the original work never received the treasure-refining inheritance of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is probably that Luo Feng's personality simply means he has no interest in refining magical artifacts.

"Alright, hurry up and go. Just don't always ask me to be your laborer when you're refining treasures." The Mountain Guest pretended to be disgusted.

During the conversation between the master and disciple, Shen Mu's treasured wings completed their final fusion, and the ten dazzling wings transformed into a stream of light that entered Shen Mu's body.

Half a day later, in the Milky Way, within Shen Mu's divine kingdom.

The endless dark sea was constantly expanding, and towering figures emerged one after another, only to collapse and transform into boundless seawater that merged into the dark sea.

The Dark Ocean, which had shrunk to a scale of tens of billions of kilometers due to genetic enhancement, is now expanding rapidly.

However, because Shen Muji's breakthrough has been too recent, the diameter of the Nether Sea has not yet reached 20 billion kilometers.

"In the state of transformation into the sea, the strength of the divine body is only equivalent to the level of a universe overlord's genes by three hundred times, which is still not powerful enough."

"Expand quickly. Once the diameter of the Nether Sea reaches the Light Age, I can openly allow the Nether Sea clone to appear in the outside world."

Shen Mu briefly paid attention to the expansion progress of the Nether Sea clone, and then focused his attention on the two newly acquired treasures and the inheritance of Master Zuoshanke.

"The Azure Dragon clone is researching Master Zuoshanke's treasure-refining heritage."

"The Netherworld Avatar is a complex comprehension of the secret runes of the Jade Capital."

"As for the Earthlings themselves, let's first study the effects of the Eternal Wings' evolution."

With a thought, Shen Mu's ten wings extended from his back, and with the activation of divine power, a set of silver armor spread out, quickly covering Shen Mu's entire body.

"As expected of a mechanical treasure at the level of an Eternal True God, even with the loss of its most core components, it is still powerful."

Shen Mu could sense that the silver armor derived from the Eternal Wings was far more defensive than the Divine Armor, which was made of inferior materials.

The Divine Armor is a functional armor. Its defensive power is average among the strongest and most precious armors, but it is enough to immunize against material attacks from a novice True God.

The so-called "True God Elementary Level" is the top level of the sixth rank, which is the lower limit of the combat power of the strongest beings in the universe, and it cannot be lower than that.

Attacks exceeding the level of a beginner True God will be weakened by 100,000 times, and the effect is extremely powerful.

The silver armor derived from Eternal Wings is even more powerful.

It is sufficient to be immune to material attacks from a mid-level True God (top-tier seventh rank), and can be weakened by a million times compared to material attacks from a mid-level True God.

"With such powerful defensive capabilities, coupled with Bai Yujing's protection, there is no possibility of being suppressed. Even within the Cosmic Sea, they are invincible."

Shen Mu had been waiting for the supreme treasure palace that the Mountain Guest had crafted for him to arrive.

Without a supreme and precious palace, it is truly unsafe to roam the universe.

Although the defense of the Yan God Clan's avatar was heaven-defying, its massive divine body, coupled with its supreme treasure armor, made it impervious to most true gods in the cosmic sea.

However, facing a true god who possesses a supreme and precious palace, the Yan God Clan's avatar will inevitably be suppressed.

Although Shen Mu can self-destruct his clone, he will inevitably lose the Divine Armor.

But this treasure is the key to Shen Mu's future dominance in the universe, and it cannot be lost.

While Shen Mu was comprehending the secret runes of the supreme treasure and studying the inheritance of treasure refining, a meeting was taking place deep within the demon race's territory.

This is a magnificent and imposing temple, within which twenty figures stand.

Of these twenty figures, nearly half were divine incarnations, while the rest were beings with clones.

Deep within the palace, time and space twisted into a vortex.

Within the vortex, one could vaguely see a large, silvery-white serpent surrounded by countless snake shadows, radiating an aura and fluctuations that surpassed all others.

"Monvan, is the source of this intelligence reliable?"

The voice of the silver-white serpent rang out, shaking the entire palace.

Then a strange bird avatar with gray bones quickly bowed and said, "Dream Ancestor, the information is completely reliable. Among the powerful beings who teamed up with the Snow Feather King, one of them is a soul servant under my command."

"Very good. You also know about Meng Wan's information. It can be confirmed that Xue Ling Wang is the only daughter of Lord Hunyuan."

"A ruler of the universe who has only one descendant must be extremely concerned about him."

"Capture her, then force the human race to hand over Sirius and Catfish!"

"If it succeeds, that would naturally be a good thing."

"If the human race is unwilling to release them, I don't believe Lord Hunyuan won't harbor resentment."

……

The universe is boundless, with stars dotting the interstellar space, like a magnificent painting.

In this vast universe, countless cosmic secrets are hidden, scattered in every corner, some even located between galaxies.

These hidden realms within the territories of human races have been explored to varying degrees by the strongest members of those races, greatly reducing their danger.

However, the level of danger in secret realms outside the territory of a clan is uncertain, and some secret realms can even cause the death of a king or immortal.

The Jade Devastation Secret Realm is a secret realm outside the territory of a clan, a large secret realm that has only been discovered in the last tens of thousands of years.

The secret realm is a self-contained space-time, with a diameter of up to a million light-years. Although it is a large secret realm, it is not very dangerous.

In most regions, one can roam freely with the power of immortality, but there are still some dangerous areas where even a king-level immortal could perish if they are not careful.

Myriad dust stars.

This is an extremely dangerous area of ​​the Jade Loss Secret Realm, composed of billions of strange small celestial bodies, which, when viewed from afar, resemble endless dust in the starry sky.

call out!

Six dazzling streaks of light traversed the endless asteroid belt; only two of them were human, while the remaining four were powerful alien beings from the Hong Alliance.

The weakest of these six individuals emanated an aura of peak-level King-level beings, making them the most elite members of the Jade Devastation Secret Realm exploration team.

After all, treasures produced in such secret realms are unlikely to attract the attention of true Venerables.

"I'm really lucky this time. I've only been wandering around for a little over two years and I've already encountered a 'Millennial Light' that's a kilometer long. I've never seen such a long Millennial Light in my life."

"It's unbelievable! One centimeter of 'Millennial Light' is worth at least 1.5 million Chaos Units! A whole kilometer—I can't even imagine it!"

The leader of the six was a woman dressed in a jade robe with a pair of snowflake wings on her back.

She is Snow Feather King, and was once a master-level member of the Primal Secret Realm.

Although Snow Feather King was exceptionally talented during his time as a Realm Lord, he was not particularly outstanding among the members of the Primal Secret Realm, who were all monsters.

More than two thousand years ago, Xue Lingwang's mastery of the Law reached the King-level, and after breaking through the Immortal Realm, he directly unleashed invincible combat power as a King.

It is not uncommon for members of the Primordial Secret Realm to become Kings after breaking through, but it is extremely rare to become an invincible King directly, which is a rarity in the entire history of the human race.

"I only need half of this thousand-year light; you can divide the rest equally," Snow Feather King's magnetic voice rang out.

"Long live Sister Xue Ling!"

"Thank you, boss!"

As Xue Lingwang's teammates, these five people were not dissatisfied because Xue Lingwang took half of the prize.

As the captain, Xue Lingwang is the strongest person present. Although he has not comprehended the profound mysteries of the higher laws, his divine body is incredibly powerful.

Even though they were Snow Feather King's teammates, they only had a general understanding of Snow Feather King's strength.

With extremely high genetic level and amplitude secret techniques, his divine body strength is at least ten times that of a King-level expert. In addition, with the Snow Feather Wings and the Upside-Down Spear, he absolutely possesses the strength to be invincible as a King-level expert.

"The eldest sister is still the most magnanimous. No wonder she is the only daughter of Lord Hunyuan and the noblest princess of the human race."

Among the six, the only rock-type life form grinned, and behind him, a crack appeared in spacetime, reflecting his divine kingdom.

Boom!

A dreamlike, colorful ribbon spread across dozens of light-years, completely dominating a spacetime area, freezing everything in place.

A terrifying spatial and temporal pressure swept out, and apart from Snow Feather King and this rock life form, the divine bodies of the other teammates instantly turned into nothingness under this terrifying pressure.
