The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 55 Cultivation Mission

"After more than three months, I have finally mastered the second level of the 'Tempering' secret technique!" The Ultimate Flame Void Beast clone felt the increasingly 'condensed' primordial power within its body and revealed a joyful smile.

As a special energy-type life form, the true core of the Ultimate Flame Void Beast lies in its life crystal core. Its usual beast form is actually formed by the automatic release of energy from the life crystal core.

One of the major characteristics of energy life forms is that they can transform into not only beast forms, but also human forms, and even other strange shapes with ease.

"My Ultimate Flame clone doesn't possess the 'copying' talent of the Demon Slayer Clan, so it can't freely change its life aura, making it much inferior in disguise. But this can be compensated for by other means." For example, a disguise-type treasure—the Thousand Illusion Pearl.

The Thousand Illusion Pearl is a special technological creation whose sole function is to simulate a thousand different life forms once integrated into the body.

This kind of disguise would be difficult to fool a truly powerful individual. However, it should be enough to deceive a bunch of native cultivators in the cultivation world.

"Everything is ready, it's time to go and accept the cultivation mission!" Lu Ming couldn't help but feel excited.

"Cultivation Mission!"

Lu Ming's heart stirred, and a virtual screen immediately appeared in front of him, displaying five levels of cultivation task options.

The page displays the five levels of cultivation tasks.

Safe (mortality rate 0%), Normal (mortality rate 10%), Difficult (mortality rate 20%), Dangerous (mortality rate 50%), Desperate (mortality rate 90%).

The more dangerous the mission, the higher the reward points; the safer the mission, the lower the reward.

The reward for a normal-level task is only one or two hundred points, while the reward for a safe-level task is only around ten points.

"In that case, we will focus on completing three extreme missions and seven dangerous missions over the next 100 years."

As for the lower difficulty levels, they were not even on Lu Ming's radar. The danger level was too low, and he could easily overcome them. The mission rewards were usually one or two thousand points, which was a drop in the ocean compared to his need for points.

"Don't rush to reach the extreme level. None of those geniuses are stupid. Those who dare to choose the extreme level are all top-notch talents with full confidence in themselves. However, the mortality rate is still over 90%, making it extremely dangerous."

Lu Ming thought to himself, "If it's just about completing the mission and surviving, my strength should be enough, but I'm thinking about more than that."

If he was only concerned with surviving, Lu Ming was confident, but if he wanted to gain anything significant, that would be very difficult.

These perilous missions present both immense danger and tremendous opportunities, and Lu Ming naturally did not want to waste them.

He must have made ample preparations before choosing the extreme mission.

Lu Ming clicked lightly and selected to accept the "Dangerous Level" cultivation mission.

"drop!"

A warning message appeared in red on the screen.

"Warning! Warning! Your Highness Lu Ming, this is your first time accepting a cultivation mission. Based on calculations from numerous past cases by our Virtual Universe Company, the mortality rate for accepting a 'dangerous' mission on your first attempt is a staggering 78.2%!"

"Please choose carefully. If you wish to continue, please click 'Confirm'. Otherwise, you will cancel this cultivation quest."

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming clicked "OK".

Is your first training mission a high-risk one with a mortality rate as high as 72.8%?

How many people possess Lu Ming's strength on their very first training mission? In Lu Ming's eyes, this dangerous mission wasn't actually that dangerous.

call!

A brand new page instantly appeared on the screen, containing detailed information—

The following is a list of crisis-level missions:

1. Visca (within the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

2. Seven Flames Palace (within the secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

……

6. Green Goblin World (Virtual Universe Company's Post-Apocalyptic Secret Realm)

7. Ruins of the Ancient Temple (within the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

……

9. Dragon Tower Star (within the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

……

18. Nine Star Sea (Giant Axe Arena, Giant Axe Secret Realm)

……

29. Prison Battlefield (Glory Secret Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance)

……

36. Blood Luo World (within the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company)

……

186. Fiery Ice Continent (within the Black Hole Secret Realm of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank)

All the cultivation tasks take place in secret realms, which have been modified by the five major human powers in the universe and are shared by the core members of the five major forces.

Lu Ming glanced around: "Of these missions, the one I'm most familiar with is the Blood Luo World... However, the Blood Luo Crystals and the Beast God statue in the Blood Luo World are related to the Golden Beast God, which doesn't align with my cultivation path. The one truly most suitable for me... is on Desolate Thunder Star, and there's also the Seven Flames Palace!"

Previously, Senior Brother Suigu had secretly reminded him not to miss these two options in the cultivation world, and now Lu Ming understood the reason.

"Desolate Thunder Star, an ancient planet born in the primordial secret realm. Over countless years, under the influence of dense cosmic primordial mist and mysterious substances, this planet has given rise to powerful Desolate Thunder Warriors and Desolate Thunder Beasts..." Lu Ming continued reading the detailed introduction of Desolate Thunder Star.

The description is very long.

There are two types of training missions on Desolate Thunder Star. One is to hunt... hunt dangerous Desolate Thunder Beasts!

Another option is to become a Wild Thunder Warrior.

"Thunder Beasts...Thunder Warriors!" Lu Ming pondered. "The strongest Thunder Beasts on Thunder Star possess Immortal-level strength, while the weakest are at the Universe level. We must be cautious during the hunt and try not to provoke any too powerful Thunder Beasts. Also, regarding the Thunder Warriors... there must be a great secret hidden within them!"

After reading the information about Desolate Thunder Star, Lu Ming checked the mission information of Seven Flames Palace, and it was indeed very similar.

"The Desolate Thunder Star is in the Primal Secret Realm, which is relatively close, so let's start from there." After reviewing the information of the other mission worlds, Lu Ming quickly made a decision.

……

Cultivation mission in the Desolate Thunder Star World:

1. Hunt down a Lord-level Desolate Thunder Beast and obtain one Desolate Thunder Pearl (a specialty of Desolate Thunder Star; Desolate Thunder Pearls do not exist anywhere else in the universe). Success will earn you 1 points. You can submit your submission up to three times.

2. Obtain the title "Wilderness Warrior" and receive the "Wilderness Medal." Success will grant 10 points. (Note: 99.5% of those who accept the Wilderness Star quest will complete the first quest.)

Completing either task signifies the successful completion of the cultivation mission.

"drop."

"Please confirm acceptance of the Desolate Thunder Star cultivation mission."

"Received successfully."

"Please fill in your departure time. Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to take you to Huanglei Star."

……

Lu Ming looked at the task with a smile.

That Desolate Thunder Pearl should be a treasure similar to the Blood Crystal, but it originated from the Thunder Beast God.

Among the Thunder Warriors, there might also be a special statue of the Thunder Beast God. As for whether he can get his hands on it in the end, that depends on Lu Ming's methods.

After accepting the cultivation mission, Lu Ming began to make various preparations.

"The kind of subordinate life form called 'Flame' doesn't exist on Desolate Thunder Star, so it can't be used casually under normal circumstances." Of course, if a special situation arises that is worth the risk, Lu Ming doesn't mind revealing it.

"In addition, spaceships, equipment, weapons, and various languages ​​of the Desolate Thunder Star... all need to be arranged in advance." Learning a new language is something Lu Ming can do with his current strength.

"Finally, for this kind of dangerous cultivation mission, the Ultimate Flame clone can go out and risk it alone. My main body can stay on the spaceship outside with the original core and continue to cultivate. After the clone gets the Desolate Thunder Pearl and brings it out, the main body will then appear to try to fuse with it!" Lu Ming had already made all the plans in his mind.

Of the 1000 life energies contained within the Thousand Illusion Pearl, there was naturally one belonging to Lu Ming himself. However, this disguise was not enough to fool the detection capabilities of the Virtual Universe Company.

Therefore, in the final step of confirming the completion of the mission, his personal presence is still required.
