Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 119 The Golden Horned Beast's Secret Technique

One day, two days, three days...

On the fifth day, the golden-horned behemoth's egg remained unchanged.

Rorschach was getting a little anxious.

Looking at the motionless black giant egg, Luo Xia couldn't help but wonder if his older brother had failed to possess the body.

If my elder brother fails to possess my body and dies completely, how am I supposed to explain this to my family?

How am I going to explain this to Senior Xu Xin?

In this state of panic and anxiety, Rorschach was extremely agitated.

That day, Luo Xia suddenly received a call from Xu Xin.

He hesitated before answering the phone.

"Hey, senior?"

"Hmm...is that Xia Xia?"

"It's me, senior. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, I haven't been able to get through to your older brother, so I wanted to ask if he's with you?"

Hearing Xu Xin's question on the phone, Luo Xia glanced at the black giant dome and said, "Oh, I see. My brother isn't with me right now. He's on a mission, and I can't contact him either."

"Do you know when your older brother will be back?" Xu Xin asked again.

Luo Xia thought for a moment and replied, "My brother did mention this to me before he left. He said he would be back in two or three years at most, or as soon as a year."

Xu Xin paused, gripping the medical report in her hand tighter. "It's going to take this long..."

"Um……"

Rorschach sounded somewhat guilty.

But this time wasn't something he made up.

In the original work, the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones can only be used when one's strength reaches the level of the Eternal Star, the Universe, or the Realm Lord.

The newly born Golden Horned Beast, however, is only at the planetary level in strength.

It will take a year to reach the Hengxing level.

It was at that time that Luo Feng was able to use the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones and give birth to the bodies of Earthlings.

"I see."

Xu Xin's tone was somewhat disappointed. She looked down at the report on the medical form, recalling the scene of Luo Feng coming to the university to find her not long ago, and suddenly said to Luo Xia:

"Xia, if you manage to get in touch with your older brother later, remember to tell him I have a child... My child and I will be waiting for him to come back!"

Rorschach was startled. He glanced at Babata beside him, and then looked at the black giant egg. He vaguely sensed that the black giant egg was moving.

He said, "Okay, I understand! Sister-in-law, I'll tell my brother the good news as soon as I can get in touch with him! Haha! I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle!"

Xu Xin blushed slightly when she heard Luo Xia change how he addressed her.

She said to Rorschach, "That's all for now..."

"Wait!" Luo Xia called out to Xu Xin, "Sister-in-law! Now that you're carrying my brother's child, why don't you just move in with us? Mom and Dad can take care of you!"

"Well... Xia, there's no rush. I still have to go to university. Let's talk about it during the summer vacation."

Xu Xin thought for a moment and then said to Luo Xia.

Her child with Luo Feng was conceived during the winter break this year when they were spending too much time together and couldn't control themselves.

It's been less than three months, and I'm not showing yet.

If she hadn't felt something was off these past couple of days and gone to the hospital for a checkup, she wouldn't have known she was pregnant.

Luo Xia slapped his forehead and said, "I didn't think it through. Okay, I understand, sister-in-law."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Xu Xin hung up the phone with Luo Xia.

Luo Xia, looking happily at Babata beside him, said, "Haha, Babata, I didn't expect my older brother to have a child already! That's great! I'm going to be an uncle!"

Data streams flashed in Babata's eyes. In a short moment, she had already accessed the database of the hospital where Xu Xin had gone for her checkup and seen Xu Xin's medical report.

She crossed her arms, looked at the giant black egg, and laughed, "Now we just have to wait for Luo Feng to hatch."

Luo Xia looked expectantly at the giant black dome. "Yes, big brother, come out quickly, then you'll be able to hold your child."

The black giant egg moved, seemingly in response to Rorschach and Babata.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

On this day, Rorschach was beside the giant black egg, trying to decipher the golden patterns on its shell.

suddenly.

"Click click click..."

The giant black egg began to tremble slightly, and the frequency of the tremors increased.

"Babata!" Rorschach called out to Babata, who was inside his wristband. "Is the Golden Horned Beast about to hatch?"

Babata looked at the black giant egg.

The giant black egg began to shake violently, and the amplitude of the shaking increased.

click!

It was accompanied by a crisp sound.

A crack appeared on the surface of the black giant egg, followed by a series of cracking sounds.

The giant black egg cracked open, and a dark, slimy "unidentified object" emerged from the shell.

Rorschach and Babata looked at the "Golden Horned Beast" with tense expressions.

"Click, click..."

After emerging from the eggshell, the "Golden Horned Beast" began to devour it frantically, its ravenous manner resembling that of a starving ghost.

In just over ten minutes, about one-third of the oval-shaped giant egg, which was twelve meters in diameter, was eaten.

The entire body of the "Golden Horned Beast" was also revealed.

It is entirely black, covered in black scales, and has strong limbs.

Its enormous body has a pair of wings covered in scales, and a tail that sways behind it like a dragon's tail. On its ferocious head is a black horn that pierces the sky, with mysterious golden markings on it!

The "Golden Horned Beast" paid no attention to Rorschach and Babata, and just kept eating the eggshells as if they were the most delicious food in the world.

It grows a little bigger every time it eats some eggshells.

When the "Golden Horned Beast" finished eating all the eggshells, it had grown to sixteen meters in length. It had absorbed all the mucus on its body, and its shape became clearer.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the entire body of the "Golden Horned Beast" is covered in mysterious golden markings.

These golden spots spread out along the scales on its horn, head, neck, and back, as if a layer of golden armor had been integrated into its back. Then, several more golden spots branched off from its back and extended toward its wings and claws!

The "Golden Horned Beast" looks extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Luo Xia looked up at the golden-horned behemoth, which was over ten meters tall, and called out, "Big Brother?"

"it's me."

A familiar voice rang in Luo Xia's mind.

"Big brother!"

Luo Xia was overjoyed and looked happily at the golden-horned behemoth in front of him. If it were any other day, he would definitely have gone up and hugged Luo Feng, but now the golden-horned behemoth's body was too big, and he couldn't even hug Luo Feng's thigh.

Babata, standing nearby, was also very happy and excited. This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and Luo Feng had finally seized it!

"As expected, Luo Feng, you successfully possessed someone!"

"How are you feeling now?"

"Babata asked."

Luo Feng looked down at his current body, then moved his limbs and wings, and said, "Aside from being a little unaccustomed to my current body, everything else feels pretty good."

Babata laughed and said, "You've done very well! Because you possessed the young Golden Horned Beast, your soul began to merge with your body while you were still in the egg, so you were able to move freely after hatching."

"If you possess a golden-horned behemoth that has already hatched, it will take a long time to adapt to its body. When you first possess it, you might not even be able to walk."

"It's already very good."

As Babata spoke, he seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he asked Luo Feng of the Golden Horned Beast:

"By the way, I heard that cosmic behemoths all possess inherited memories, and the higher the level of the cosmic behemoth, the more extensive its inherited memories. When you were in the egg, did you receive any inherited memories from the Golden Horned Beast?"

The golden-horned behemoth nodded its massive head. "Yes, I got it."

After Luo Feng possessed the young Golden Horned Beast, his soul gradually merged with the new body. Once fully integrated, his soul received the Golden Horned Beast's inherited memories.

Those memories were vast and immense, ancient memories passed down from generation to generation of Golden Horned Beasts, fully displayed before Luo Feng.

It is because of the need to receive these enormous memories that Luo Feng was able to hatch today.

Otherwise, given the condition of the Golden Horned Beast's larvae before it took over the body, it should have been able to hatch within two or three days of being possessed.

After all, the Golden Horned Beast's egg had hatched faster after being stimulated by Rorschach's power.

However, those inherited memories were too vast, and it took Luo Feng more than ten days to receive them!

Babata exclaimed excitedly, "Knowledge is power! I've heard that the inherited memories of some cosmic behemoths can even be traced back to the beginning of the universe! Tell me, what knowledge is there? What amazing secret techniques?"

Luo Feng said, "Because the Golden Horned Beast's inherited memories are too vast, I have done some simple sorting and summarizing of them. In the Golden Horned Beast's cultivation inheritance, there are 18 special secret techniques that can be cultivated, and 3199 ordinary secret techniques."

Upon hearing this, Babata shouted excitedly, "Luo Feng, you've struck it rich! You've struck it rich!! Even the master couldn't accumulate so much knowledge!"

Luo Feng himself wasn't that excited or thrilled.

He said somewhat helplessly, "However, I don't know which of the 18 special secret techniques and 3199 ordinary secret techniques to learn. These secret techniques have been passed down from generation to generation of Golden Horned Beasts, and only Golden Horned Beasts can cultivate them."

"Moreover, the key points of the inherited memories reminded me that you can't bite off more than you can chew, and told me that I should learn no more than two special secret techniques and no more than six ordinary secret techniques. However, there are too many secret techniques in it, and I don't know how to choose."

Upon hearing this, Babata stroked his chin and said, "In that case... tell me the general effects and cultivation conditions of these secret techniques first, and I'll filter them for you to see if we can achieve the optimal combination."

As an intelligent life form, Babata possesses a vast information database and powerful computing capabilities, making it relatively easy for it to help Luo Feng select suitable secret techniques.

The golden-horned behemoth nodded and began to recount the secret techniques from its inherited memories.

Rorschach listened attentively from the side.

Although these secret techniques can only be practiced by the Golden Horned Beast, Luo Xia felt that perhaps by modifying and adjusting them, Earth's humans could also cultivate them.

Several hours later, the Golden Horned Beast finished explaining the general effects and cultivation conditions of all the secret techniques.

Babata began calculating, helping Luo Feng with the matching.

While she was calculating, she still had time to say to Luo Feng, "This golden-horned behemoth should have some kind of innate secret technique, right? Tell me about the information on the innate secret technique so I can make the best combination."

Luo Feng nodded and began to introduce his innate secret technique.

The so-called innate secret technique is a secret technique that can be used naturally, like the instinct of breathing, without needing to be learned.

The Golden Horned Beast has three innate secret techniques.

Firstly, it devours.

It can absorb various metals to increase its strength.

Secondly, strengthen.

It can strengthen the body, instantly increasing speed, strength, and defense...

Thirdly, clones.

At the planetary, cosmic, and world lord levels, there is one opportunity to create a clone. The clone is equivalent to a second body. As long as the original body does not die, it doesn't matter how many times the clone dies.

"With this clone ability, I'll be able to go home and see Xu Xin soon."

Luo Feng said with emotion.

When he first possessed the Golden Horned Beast, he thought that he would not be able to return to his family and see Xu Xin until he found the secret method to create clones.

Unexpectedly, this golden-horned behemoth possesses the innate secret technique of "cloning"!

Right now, having just hatched, he is at the planetary level and is already capable of creating clones.

Babata couldn't help but ask:

"Luo Feng, are you sure you want to use the first clone's slot to nurture an Earthling?"

Your innate secret technique allows you to create clones from just a single hair or some flesh and blood tissue. With this heaven-defying method of creating clones, you could easily find some humans with powerful bloodlines to use as your first clone, such as the Manka aliens.

Possessing another's body is difficult, but finding their hair and flesh is easy... If you really can't give up the social identity of 'Luo Feng,' you can simply undergo a disguise surgery to become Luo Feng's appearance; it's very simple and easy.

Luo Feng's tone was firm, "I confirm! The first clone was an Earthling, and it was conceived using my own genetic material!"

Seeing Luo Feng's resolute expression, Babata nodded and did not try to persuade him further.

"Alright, I've already selected the special and ordinary secret techniques for you to cultivate."

"Which secret techniques are they?" Luo Feng asked.

Babata pointed his little hand in the air and said, "You should cultivate the special secret technique 'Original World' and the ordinary secret technique 'Absolute Space.' These two secret techniques, combined with your innate secret technique, will be extremely powerful!"

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, and the effects and cultivation conditions of "Original World" and "Absolute Space" immediately came to mind.

"The True Heaven and Earth" is a secret technique that allows the body to grow larger or smaller.

"Absolute Space" involves the laws of space, and when practiced to the end, it can even enable teleportation!

"Brother, I'm very interested in the 'Original World' and 'Absolute Space'. Could you teach me how to cultivate them?"

Rorschach suddenly asked.

Luo Feng was taken aback, his dark golden eyes turning to look at Luo Xia. He said, "Xia, it's not that your older brother doesn't want to teach you, it's just that only the Golden Horned Beast can cultivate these secret techniques..."

"I know, but our ancestors also said that if you understand one method, you understand all methods. Although these secret methods can only be cultivated by the Golden Horned Beast, they may inspire me to create secret methods that humans can cultivate."

Rorschach said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded. "I understand. However, the cultivation content of these secret techniques is too vast and complex to describe or record using Earth's language... Babata, do you have any way to allow me to transmit information about these secret techniques to Luo Xia?"

He knew how highly his younger brother was comprehension.

At the Warrior General level, one can watch Hong "Destroy the World" and create his own sword technique "Creation of the World".

Perhaps this time, he can also comprehend his own secret technique from the unique secret techniques of the Golden Horned Beast?

"Let me think... If your cultivation of the Soul Imprint is up to par, you might be able to condense these secret techniques into a legacy Soul Imprint and pass it on to Luo Xia, just like your master," Babata said after a moment's thought.

"Inherited Soul Imprint, huh..." Luo Feng nodded and said to Luo Xia, "Xia, you'll have to wait. My understanding of Soul Imprints isn't deep enough yet. Once I've mastered the Inherited Soul Imprint, I'll use it to pass on these secret techniques to you."

Luo Xia nodded and smiled, "No rush, we have plenty of time. Actually, what I'm most interested in is your innate secret technique 'Clone,' but it's an innate secret technique, you'll naturally learn it, and I probably won't have the chance to learn it."

Luo Feng said, "It seems there is a way... Wait a moment, let me check my inherited memories..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden-horned behemoth lowered its head slightly.

Time slowly passed, and half an hour later, Luo Feng's voice rang in Luo Xia's mind.

"The Golden Horned Beast's innate secret techniques all originate from the golden runes they are born with—the same golden runes on the transparent crystal sphere within me. If you can comprehend those golden runes, perhaps you can learn my innate secret techniques?"

"Shall we give it a try?" Rorschach's eyes lit up as he said.

Luo Feng nodded. "Let's give it a try."

For the Golden Horned Beast, the transparent crystal core inside its body is the core and origin of its life!

It is extremely important and cannot be shown to others lightly!

But Luo Feng was completely open with his younger brother.

"Next, I will release the defenses within my body. You can just use your mental power to probe in," Luo Feng said.

Luo Xia nodded and sat down cross-legged in front of the golden-horned behemoth. With Luo Feng's guidance, his spiritual consciousness slowly extended and penetrated into the body of the golden-horned behemoth.

Before long, he "saw" the transparent crystal sphere covered with countless mysterious golden patterns.

The golden patterns on the crystal sphere are countless times more mysterious than those on the eggshell!

Luo Xia "visualized" the golden runes on the crystal sphere. At this moment, his mind seemed to be boiling, and inspiration and understanding in his thoughts exploded wildly. He gradually came to understand and learn the profound and mysterious golden runes...

After releasing his internal defenses, Luo Feng no longer cared about Luo Xia. Whether Luo Xia could comprehend the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique depended entirely on his own comprehension.

To be honest, Luo Feng didn't think Luo Xia could comprehend anything.

Because innate talent and secret techniques are something we are born with, just like the instinct to breathe that a person has from birth.

This is a gift of life, the inherent power of life.

Luo Feng knew this from the inherited memories of the Golden Horned Beast.

To this day, no one in the universe has been able to replicate or comprehend the innate secrets of other life forms!

Strictly speaking, the only way to obtain the innate secrets of other life forms is through possession!
