Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 59: Confirming the First Clone

That same day, Yan Yong hosted a banquet for King Qin Guang and others at a luxurious restaurant in the virtual universe's Hongmeng City.

"Golden Dragon King, what brings you here so urgently?" King Hengdao asked directly. "Could it be that you just 'slain' a Universe Venerable today and are so excited that you've come to show off to us?"

"You think the Golden Dragon King is like you?" King Chaman mocked. "Didn't you see how calm and collected the Golden Dragon King was after his battle with that Cosmic Venerable?"

"Haha, you gentlemen, there's no need to flatter me. I do have something important to ask you for your help with." Yan Yong picked up the wine pot and poured wine for each of his friends.

"The Golden Dragon King personally poured the wine and asked for our help. How could we refuse? As long as we can help, we will do our best without hesitation." King Qin Guang smiled and raised his wine cup. "However, our strength is ultimately limited, and we are afraid we cannot be of much help."

"Haha, it's not a difficult task. I just want you all to hide me in the World Ring and take me into the Ancestral Mystic Realm." Yan Yong also raised his wine glass, indicating that he should have a drink first. "I was recently assassinated, wasn't I? I'm afraid those alien races won't give up yet, but I also want to go on an adventure in the Mystic Realm, so I want to go secretly."

"That's not difficult at all. We occasionally venture into the Ancestral Mystic Realm to try our luck, but we don't go too deep. Taking you there secretly is easy enough." Upon hearing that it was just a matter of convenience, the group had no more reservations and readily raised their glasses in agreement.

"However, King Jinlong, you should think this through carefully. That secret realm is fraught with danger, no less so than the assassination attempt by the alien race. Moreover, the inheritors of different races can fight each other. In that case, it might not be an assassination attempt, but an ambush," King Qin Guang said, expressing his concerns.

"I think you'd better team up with some of the Venerables from my Hong Alliance. That way, those alien races won't dare to be too presumptuous," Hengdao Wang suggested.

"No, what I'm about to do needs to be done discreetly. If it's exposed, even the Venerable One will be in danger, so I'll go alone to keep a smaller profile."

Yan Yong felt a chill at the thought of finding those extremely powerful and special life forms. For example, stealing branches from the World Tree—if he angered the strongest World Tree, any universe lord who followed would be nothing but cannon fodder. The Nine Nether Sea, for instance, was an existence that even universe lords greatly feared.

"Alright then, we won't ask too many questions," said the Horizontal Blade King. "How about this, I'll team up with the other human powerhouses, and you'll hide in my world ring. I'll drop you off on the road, and the others can come to the Golden Dragon King's palace a few more times in their spare time to cover for him."

"Sure, this is a piece of cake for us," the remaining people promised.

"Then thank you all very much," Yan Yong said, raising his glass again in gratitude.

"Then we'll come to see you under the guise of visiting you. You can hide in my world ring while I go find some human powerhouses to team up with to explore the secret realm. Please stay a while longer," King Hengdao said in conclusion.

Among them, Hengdao Wang is the strongest and has been a long-dormant invincible king, so it would be easier for him to find someone to team up with to explore the secret realm.

The group chatted for a while about the secrets of the Ancestral Mystic Realm before slowly dispersing.

After the gathering ended, Hengdao Wang and his companions went to Yan Yong's palace under the guise of visiting him. Yan Yong then hid in Hengdao Wang's world ring and left his palace, leaving Qin Guang Wang and the others to continue their cultivation there.

"Haha, the layout of the Golden Dragon King's palace is quite unique, a rare man-made landscape even among our human race." The group chatted as they enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the royal garden by the lake.

A few days later, Hengdao Wang and some powerful humans teamed up to enter the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

After being teleported to the Ancestral Mystic Realm, Hengdao Wang secretly dropped a World Ring while passing through a certain spacetime. He and the others entered that spacetime through a spacetime portal, leaving the World Ring outside.

After the group had completely entered, the World Ring suddenly exploded, and Yan Yong, who was hiding inside, rode out on a Golden Fear Beast.

"Xiaoye, turn on my detector." In exploring this secret realm, the detector is the most important thing. It can help us avoid many powerful beings and some special celestial bodies, avoid some dangers in time, and also better discover high-quality special life.

The detector was originally intended for powerful individuals to explore secret realms; the extraterrestrial battlefield was merely an accident.

As a disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe, Yan Yong's authority was greatly enhanced. The fact that he killed so many King Limit Limit cultivators in the extraterrestrial battlefield also greatly increased his wealth. The detector he now uses is the most advanced among the human race. Apart from the mechanical race, no alien race's detector can compare to his.

Whoosh!

Riding the giant fire wolf, Yan Yong transformed into a streak of fire, rapidly soaring through the air. Occasionally, when he found the path ahead to be safe, he would use teleportation to accelerate his progress.

"Having a mount is so much more comfortable than traveling on your own," Yan Yong said, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way as he rode on the back of the Golden-Turtle.

The Ancestral God Sect is not only full of opportunities and dangers. As the most advanced secret realm in the entire universe, it naturally contains all kinds of wonders. There are spherical celestial bodies like the normal universe, such as planets, stars, and white dwarfs. There are also some huge continents, or huge lakes that appear out of thin air. There may be some islands on the lakes. Occasionally, you will encounter floating mountains with waterfalls on them. It is unknown where the water in the waterfalls comes from.

The various wondrous landscapes were beyond imagination, and Yan Yong was treated to a feast for the eyes along the way.

Although the scenery is very beautiful, beauty often hides countless dangers.

For example, Yan Yong had seen a waterfall before. He originally wanted to stand under the waterfall to feel some coolness, but adhering to the principle of caution, he first sent a servant of a servant to reach out and test it. As a result, the servant was instantly frozen as soon as he touched the waterfall, his life mark completely collapsed, and he died directly.

It turned out that the water from this waterfall was an extremely precious material called "Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale". Yan Yong stood far away and had one of the servants under the Empress use the Eight Desolations Pagoda to collect some Nine-Colored Water of the Frost Whale. Whether it was to take it back to sell or to use it to trick people, it was a good choice.

Yan Yong had intended to make more, but after only a little, he received a warning from the icy whale in the cold pool, and had no choice but to give up in frustration.

The icy whale in that cold pool was no ordinary cosmic being; only a cosmic master could contend with it.

"Alright, we've enjoyed the scenery. It's time to seriously consider the issue of creating a clone. Currently, the World Tree clone is one of the options. It has an enormous divine body and possesses the laws of spacetime. However, the World Tree is a plant-based life form, which makes it difficult to move, which is a major drawback."

"The second option is the favorite of transmigrators: the Nine Nether Sea clone. The biggest advantage of the Nine Nether Sea is its size. A divine body spanning 12 light-years is not afraid of even the strongest beings in the universe. Moreover, it has the talent for creation, which will greatly help in pursuing the path of divine power later on. However, the disadvantage is that the Lord of the Nine Nether Sea is too powerful. If you try to take a piece of his son's body under his nose, and he is not willing, then no matter who comes, it will be useless. You are doomed."

"The third option is the 'Endless Mountain,' similar to the Nine Nether Sea. This life form is the largest known special life form in the entire universe, with a body spanning 11 light-years. Moreover, the mountain is a soulless life form, immune to soul attacks. However, like the World Tree, this special life form is difficult to move and cannot be used as a power bank. Furthermore, no sub-beings at the World Lord level have been discovered."

"The fourth option is the Eternal Race, known as the 'Kings of Time,' who possess powerful talents in the laws of time. It is said that due to their overwhelming talents in time, this special life form became a cosmic lord at a young age. However, due to their equally extraordinary talents in time, this special life form has made no progress in the laws of space and is unable to simultaneously control spacetime and become the master of the universe."

"The only way to break through is to comprehend the Dao of the Beast God in this Ancestral Mystic Realm. According to Senior Brother Chaos, this special life form is not very old. It was born a few hundred epochs ago and has been hiding in the Ancestral Mystic Realm to cultivate ever since. It has only recently broken through to the Universe Venerable level. Moreover, it is not the only special life form in the original universe. Like the World Tree, it also has several children at the Realm Lord level. If it weren't for the fact that the human virtual universe is too powerful, this special life form would not have been discovered."

"This clone is a bit different from me. Although I have a heaven-defying talent in the laws of space, I am not completely without the talent of time. My talent in time is about the same as that of human geniuses who are good at the laws of time. It's just that it is far inferior to my laws of space, so much so that I don't want to spend so much time comprehending it."

"However, it suits me very well. It's only a matter of time before I fully master the laws of space. With this clone, I can quickly master the laws of time. When I comprehend both space and time, I will become the master of the universe."

I'm just gathering some materials; I'm not doing anything heinous. I shouldn't be able to provoke the other party to fight me to the death. I'm confident I can escape unscathed.

Most importantly, he possesses the supreme secret technique of "Soul Splitting." Time Freeze cannot stop the Heavenly Dragon clone in the Initial Universe from thinking. As long as his thoughts do not stagnate, he can activate "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon" to completely awaken the "Intent of the Halberd" and break free from its restraints. At that time, he can use space control to teleport away, leaving the opponent, a Time Venerable, helpless.

"Let's get this clone first. It should be the easiest to obtain. After we get this clone, we can consider the Nine Nether Sea. The Lord of the Nine Nether Sea still owes Senior Brother Chaos a favor. We can always ask Senior Brother Chaos to step in when the time comes."

Having made up his mind, he began to let the virtual universe system locate the location of the Eternal Race. It would be best to be courteous first and then take action, avoiding detection if possible.
