The human is devouring, a new talent every month.

Chapter 8 [Child of Time]

"Hmm, at the end of the email, it also said that it would give me two sets of secret techniques related to the laws of time?" Lu Ming read the email word for word and was pleasantly surprised to see this sentence.

"Given the status of the King of Jinlan, even if he were to casually give away two sets of secret techniques on a whim, they would be incredibly precious, and even ordinary immortal experts would not be able to come into contact with them." Although he had already become the disciple of Marquis Zhenlei, he was still very much looking forward to the two sets of secret techniques given to him by the King of Jinlan.

Soon, Lu Ming received the two sets of books delivered to him in the virtual universe. The books were stored in a silver briefcase.

"There are so many books?" After opening the two boxes, Lu Ming was surprised to find that the "two sets of secret techniques" mentioned by the King of Jinlan Kingdom had actually been divided into a total of twenty-one volumes!

"The Unity of Lightning and Time?" After carefully examining the names of these twenty-one secret techniques, Lu Ming confirmed that these twenty-one books were indeed two sets of secret techniques, but each set of secret techniques was very extraordinary!

The first secret technique, "The Unity of Lightning and Cosmos," is divided into three volumes. It is a precious secret technique that starts from the fundamental laws of lightning and directly addresses the three core mysteries of the fundamental laws of time! The contents of its three volumes correspond to the three major branches of the laws of time: time deceleration, time acceleration, and time stillness!

Mastering any one of these three books would be incredibly powerful. The third book, in particular, grants the user the ultimate, unparalleled technique within the laws of time—time stop!

"What a magnificent 'Combination of Cosmic Lightning'! A simple combination that encompasses all branches of the laws of time. No wonder it's a product of the King!" After learning the value and uses of this secret technique, Lu Ming was overjoyed and extremely excited!

Although obtaining the secret technique doesn't mean he can master it immediately, that doesn't stop him from being happy.

"This first set of secret techniques, with only three volumes, is already so amazing. The second set of secret techniques, the 'Time Beast Secret Manual,' must be even more extraordinary!" Putting down the "Combination of Cosmic Thunder," Lu Ming looked at another set of secret techniques that consisted of eighteen volumes.

Book One, The Secret of Fear

Book Two, The Nightmare Time Codex

"Volume Three, *The Secret Canon of Sui Ke*"

……

"The terms 'Panic,' 'Nightmare,' and 'Emerging Moment' all refer to special life forms in the universe that are extremely proficient in the laws of time. The content of the laws of time contained in the eighteen secret manuals varies in depth... The deeper ones can even point directly to the complete fundamental laws of time. The shallower ones can only reach the smaller branches under the three major branches of the laws of time."

"This secret technique is simply..." Lu Ming didn't know how to describe its heaven-defying nature, and he felt even more grateful to the King of Jinlan Kingdom.

"With the blessing of the [Heart of the Wild] talent, this set of 'Time Beast Secret Manual' is indeed a time-based secret technique that is very suitable for me to cultivate!" It is estimated that King Jinlan also realized something, which is why he made this decision on the spur of the moment.

"The secret technique is good, but it is only meaningful if you have enough talent to cultivate..." The longer he cultivated and the more geniuses he encountered, the more Lu Ming could appreciate the importance of 'talent'.

Even among those at the same level of the Eternal Star, some people find it incredibly difficult to even reach the first level of the Domain, while others can easily cross the ninth level of the Domain and come into contact with the fundamental laws.

Without exceptional talent, no matter how hard you try, it's difficult to break through limitations.

Of course, this doesn't mean that having "talent" means you can rest easy. No matter how talented you are, if you squander and waste your time, it will be difficult to achieve great things.

To truly become a strong person, both talent and hard work are indispensable.

...

Time flies, and soon a new month arrives, a time to acquire new talents once again.

"Without sufficient 'talent' to support it, it is indeed too difficult to cultivate the Law of Time. I hope this time will be as I wish." Lu Ming closed his eyes, his mind completely clear.

"Buzz~" A magnificent purple light once again filled Lu Ming's soul ocean.

"Another purple talent!" Lu Ming was in a good mood, and at the same time, his consciousness sensed the basic information of the new talent - [Child of Time].

The effects of the [Child of Time] talent are similar to those of the [Child of Lightning] talent, but their actual significance is vastly different. After all, one represents a lower-level law, while the other represents a higher-level law.

"Even talents of the same quality can vary greatly in rarity and value." Lu Ming sighed inwardly before eagerly verifying the actual effects of the new talent.

The main ability of the [Child of Time] is to greatly enhance Lu Ming's affinity with the fundamental laws of time. Compared to the effect of the previous [Child of Lightning], this enhancement is quite significant, even reaching the level of a 'favored child of the laws'.

"Unfortunately, this time the 'life leap' didn't happen." Lu Ming waited for a while, but this time his body cells didn't feel that 'hunger' and he couldn't upgrade his genetic level again.

"Even so, the value of this new talent is unparalleled." Lu Ming's consciousness sank, and he immediately began cultivating the Time Origin Law at full speed.

"Clear, transparent, this feeling... is truly captivating!" Compared to the 'struggle' of the previous two weeks, Lu Ming could better feel the changes that were happening to him at this moment.

If one had to describe it, compared to its previous obscurity, the laws of time are now like a naked dancer standing before him, offering whatever he desires.

"So that's how it is. The 'Instant Thunder' movement technique described in 'The Unity of Lightning and Cosmos' unfolds like this..." After his 'clear thinking', some of the cultivation problems that had previously puzzled him were now solved as easily as snow melting away!

Using the already profound fundamental laws of lightning as a springboard, and with systematic research techniques like "The Unity of Lightning and Cosmos" for him to study and reference, he opened the door to the "Law of Time," which was simply time itself.

He didn't know how much time had passed, and even Lu Ming himself had forgotten the time, his consciousness once again entered a deep state of cultivation.

Wonderful, mysterious!

At this moment, in Lu Ming's perception, the fluctuations of the Law of Time became increasingly clear. Although what he was currently perceiving was merely an insignificant tip of the iceberg within the Law of Time, as those fluctuations continued to extend and intertwine…

That intoxicating feeling was like a beautiful poem, a wonderfully melodious piece of music, striking his heart!

Unfortunately, this rare state of cultivation lasted only a month before it automatically ended.

"I've finally grasped the basics of the Time Law!" Upon opening his eyes, Lu Ming once again experienced what it meant to 'enjoy cultivation as if it were a dream'.

In just one month, he officially stepped into the threshold of the fundamental laws of time, which would probably shock everyone if word got out.

"There are still more than three months left. Let's see how well I perform in the qualifiers!" At this moment, he was more confident than ever before!

This confidence stems from his current strength and extraordinary talent for cultivation.
