"The Legacy I obtained, the 'Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method', currently only has the basic chapter and the first five stages."
Ender thought, "Once the fifth stage is completed during the Universe Venerable period, my Life Gene level will be elevated to the Perfect Gene level of 10081 times."
"But the problem is, an Immortal's Physical Body is formed by Immortal Divine Power. No matter what type of life it is, from Immortal to Universe Master, it will transform into a Divine Body life, and only return to its life essence when it becomes a True God."
He pondered, "Divine Body life is similar to energy life and does not have the ability to reproduce. This is one of the reasons why so many powerful individuals regard their Personal Disciple as their closest kin."
"If it transforms into a Divine Body life and loses the ability to reproduce, then it's impossible to perform Body Refining, since the very essence of life has changed."
Ender mused, "Since this Legacy is called the 'Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method', it shouldn't be baseless. Perhaps the later parts of the Legacy I obtained allow for Body Refining Cultivation."
To be honest, he was very envious of the Body Refining effect. Currently, he was only at Domain Master Ninth Stage, but his Physical Body defense could withstand the full power attack of an ordinary Universe Level, which was enough to show how terrifying Body Refining was.
Once he became a World Master and completed the third stage of the 'Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method', he would definitely be able to travel through the Universe with his Physical Body like a Space Beast.
Traveling through the Universe with his Physical Body here didn't mean slowly flying in the Universe, but rather navigating like an Advanced spaceship, crashing through things and ignoring the obstruction of asteroids and planetoids.
Normally, humans would only dare to travel through the Universe with their Physical Body after becoming an Immortal, ignoring planetoids and asteroids at high speeds.
"My Physical Body quality has already reached such strength without reaching the fifth stage of the Body Refining Cultivation Technique. If I finish Cultivating the fifth stage Body Refining Cultivation Technique in the future, how terrifying will I be? Will I be able to physically withstand Advanced and Pinnacle treasures?"
Thinking of this, a yearning rose in Ender's heart, wanting to obtain the subsequent content of the 'Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method'.
"Once I'm strong enough, I must ask my teacher where that fiery red Legacy crystal came from."
Although he coveted it, he also knew that such a Heaven-Defying Secret Technique, which could produce a Clone and elevate one's Life Gene level to the perfect level in its fifth stage, would be very difficult to obtain further Legacy.
"The Legacy issue must be set aside. The most important thing now is to comprehend Law."
Ender pulled his thoughts back and focused on the present, "To quickly comprehend Law, I need to continue fusing Blood River Crystal. This will allow me to better conform to the Universe Origin, thereby enhancing the effect of Blood River Power."
Buzz!
Ender slightly raised his hand, and a spatial fluctuation appeared. 90 triangular blood-red crystals emerged, arranging themselves into a long line in the air.
"When I was at Universe Level, I already fused 10 Blood River Crystals and became a Black Warrior, a phenomenon that appears once in countless years on Blood River World."
He stared at the beautiful blood-red crystals before him and thought, "Now that I've become a Domain Master, both my Physical Body quality and will strength have greatly improved. The number of Blood River Crystals I can fuse should also have increased."
"I just don't know how many Blood River Crystals I can fuse now."
Thinking this, Ender waved his right hand in the air, putting most of the Blood River Crystals into his World Ring, leaving only twenty Blood River Crystals suspended in the air.
"Twenty crystals." He murmured softly, "Can I fuse these twenty Blood River Crystals and increase the total Fusion count to thirty?"
Buzz!
A sword-shaped fifth-order weapon appeared, and under the propulsion of Ender's Spiritual Force, it cut a long wound on his palm. Blood flowed from the wound.
Due to the special ability of the Source of Life, his Physical Body recovery speed was astonishingly fast. The edges of the freshly cut wound were wriggling with granulation tissue, healing at a visible rate.
Whoosh!
A Blood River Crystal, drawn by Ender's Spiritual Force, flew directly to the wound on his palm, making contact with the flesh and blood there.
Instantly.
The solid blood-red Blood River Crystal seemed to melt into blood, integrating into Ender's body along the wound.
"Kill!"
A killing will impacted his consciousness, but with Ender's current conscious will, this level of killing will impact had no effect.
"The eleventh crystal, successfully fused."
His extremely strong Physical Body quality and a will that had reached the World Master Pinnacle allowed him to easily fuse the eleventh Blood River Crystal.
Blood River Power.
Ender activated Blood River Power, and complete and mysterious blood-red secret patterns emerged beneath his battle-clad chest.
In an instant.
He could clearly perceive that his affinity with the Universe Origin had increased slightly, on top of the original three times.
"Fusing the eleventh Blood River Crystal, the effect of Blood River Power improved very little, and the next qualitative change requires fusing 100 Blood River Crystals."
Ender slightly shook his head, "Fusing 100 Blood River Crystals is very difficult, requiring extremely high demands on both will and Physical Body. Even if I become a World Master, it would be very difficult to fuse 100 Blood River Crystals."
Even Luo Feng in the original work, who had Universe Venerable-level will in the Late Stage of World Master Level, failed to successfully fuse 100 Blood River Crystals. In the end, he relied on Beast God's Blood to raise the overall Fusion to 100 crystals.
He had self-awareness and didn't believe that he could surpass Luo Feng, who had a Universe Venerable's will, in terms of will strength. Therefore, he only thought about fusing as many Blood River Crystals as possible until he could no longer fuse them, and then fusing Beast God's Blood.
"Next, I'll fuse the twelfth crystal."
Since the wound on his palm had healed, he once again manipulated the fifth-order weapon to cut a long wound on his palm and continued to fuse the twelfth Blood River Crystal.
Soon.
The twelfth Blood River Crystal was successfully fused, and then he fused the thirteenth, fourteenth...
One by one, Blood River Crystals were fused until Ender fused the twenty-first Blood River Crystal, at which point he felt strained, and his will also received a great impact. Fortunately, he persevered.
"The more Blood River Crystals fused, the higher the difficulty of Fusion."
Looking at the nine Blood River Crystals suspended in the air, he softly said, "When I was at Universe Level, fusing ten Blood River Crystals didn't reach my limit, but now fusing to the twenty-first crystal, I feel very strained."
While the wound hadn't healed yet, he drew the twenty-second Blood River Crystal to the wound.
Boom!
Like a bomb detonating, a powerful, savage killing will directly rushed into his Sea of Consciousness Soul.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Endless killing will impacted his Soul, clashing with his will and consciousness. His Soul was impacted, and his will and consciousness were focused on resisting the killing will, which made him unable to control the Blood River Crystals in the air.
Thump thump...
One by one, the Blood River Crystals fell to the ground, making a crisp, jade-like clinking sound, pleasant to the ear. However, Ender's body was trembling constantly, and the veins on his forehead were visible. He was fully concentrating on resisting the killing will, his will and consciousness highly focused, with no spare energy to listen to the pleasant sound.
After a long while.
Ender exhaled a turbid breath, sweat soaking his hair. After a long period of resisting the killing will, he finally succeeded in fusing the twenty-second Blood River Crystal.
"I've reached my limit. My will is still a bit weak. I need to temper my will when I have the chance."
He could clearly perceive that his extremely strong Physical Body quality could continue to fuse Blood River Crystals, but his will was unable to support the Fusion.
"Let's try the results after fusing twenty-two Blood River Crystals."
After Ender collected the eight Blood River Crystals scattered on the ground, he activated Blood River Power and carefully sensed his affinity with the Universe Origin.
"My affinity with the Universe Origin is roughly 3.2 times." He shook his head helplessly, "I fused Twelve more Blood River Crystals on top of the original ten, but the increase was only 0.2 times."
"An increase of 0.2 times is better than no increase at all. No matter what, it can still improve my Law comprehension speed."
After comforting himself, Ender left the World Ring and returned to his residence in Primal Chaos City. His human main body, after a long absence, appeared outside the World Ring.
...
Primal Chaos City, Residence.
After his human main body and avatar swapped places, Ender got up and left the quiet room, flying towards the rooftop.
The rooftop was very spacious, with nothing but a one-meter-tall small tree.
Ender walked to the small tree and put the No. 1 Branch, which was still only Universe Level First Order, into his World Ring.
At the same time, the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone, far away in the Primal Secret Realm, trembled slightly and began to perform its innate Secret Technique 'Branch Transfer'.
Amidst the slight trembling, a branch fell from the 400-kilometer-tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone. The No. 1 Clone, which he had just put into his World Ring, also began to wither at this moment, losing its Vitality in a brief instant.
Chirp!
The branch that fell from the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone began to grow wildly and thicken after the No. 1 Branch withered. Countless roots also grew from the broken end, and in just a moment, it grew into a 4-kilometer-tall Gu Yu Ancient Tree Branch.
"Nurturing a 4-kilometer-tall Branch is no small burden for the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone."
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone sensed that 10% of its Gene Energy was gone and sighed, "Nurturing once requires consuming 10% of Gene Energy. This doesn't match a Branch that is only 1% of the height."
Exchanging 10% of Gene Energy for a Branch that is 1% of the height seems like a very good deal, but if it were an Immortal's Divine Body, it would be a bit of a loss.
However, Ender's Branch was different. It had a Soul and could comprehend Law, making it a true Clone, just unable to be nurtured through the human main body.
"Using 10% of the body to nurture a 1% height Clone is not a loss."
Clone and Branch are completely different concepts. The former has a Soul and can use treasures, Secret Techniques, and comprehend Law, while the latter cannot do these things and cannot perform some precise operations. It can probably only be used as a Divine Power charging bank.
"A 4-kilometer-tall Branch, using the innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage', should be able to last for a while."
Ender thought for a moment, then used the No. 1 Clone to cast the innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage'.
Buzz!
An incomprehensible Law fluctuation appeared, and at the same time, the surrounding space was imprisoned by a force, becoming extremely solid!
The No. 1 Clone, which was performing the innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage', had its Gene Energy burning intensely. The consumption of the 'Gu Yu Cage' innate Secret Technique was too much, even for the 4-kilometer-tall No. 1 Branch.
While the No. 1 Branch could still hold on, the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone carefully sensed the surrounding space. From that incomprehensible Law fluctuation, he could perceive a trace of Wood-Space Fusion Laws.
However, that was all. His comprehension of Wood-Space Fusion Laws was too low to explore the mysteries of Wood-Space Fusion Laws from the 'Gu Yu Cage'.
"The consumption of this innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage' is too great. A 4-kilometer-tall No. 1 Branch, with Gene Energy comparable to a third or fourth-order World Master Level, can only last for less than five seconds."
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone swayed slightly, "Moreover, I can feel that this 'Gu Yu Cage' should not be in its complete form. To cast the complete 'Gu Yu Cage', it would probably require a World Master Pinnacle."
The World Master Pinnacle here refers to Ender's Gu Yu Ancient Tree, not other people's Gu Yu Ancient Tree.
Other people's Gu Yu Ancient Tree would probably need to reach the Immortal level, and at least Marquis-level Immortal, to cast the complete 'Gu Yu Cage'.
"The three suggestions my teacher gave me for nurturing Clones were indeed not simple."
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone swayed, "This Gu Yu Ancient Tree's innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage' is very strong. If I can comprehend the Wood-Space Law Fusion mysteries contained within it, my comprehension of Wood-Space Fusion Laws will greatly improve."
"Furthermore, this 'Gu Yu Cage' also contains the 'Space Lockdown' profoundness. If I can thoroughly comprehend it, it will also be of great help to the Space Origin Law."
"This is also why the Gu Yu Ancient Tree, despite being a plant life, has a growth limit of only 100 kilometers. With such a powerful Secret Technique, it would naturally be restricted."
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone lamented, "If it were unique, or an extremely rare special life, its growth limit shouldn't be so low. But it happens to be a special life group."
The special life Gu Yu Ancient Tree is very strong, especially its innate Secret Technique 'Gu Yu Cage'. Just imagine, an Military Lord-level Immortal can cast Space Lockdown. How can that not be strong?
Moreover, the casting of 'Gu Yu Cage' is traceable, which means it can be comprehended. Even if only a few mysteries within it are comprehended, it would be a huge improvement for an Military Lord-level Immortal.
"To comprehend the mysteries of 'Gu Yu Cage', the human main body needs to be present."
The Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone said, "The human main body has fused Blood River Crystals and has an extremely high affinity with the Universe Origin. It can more clearly sense the fluctuations of 'Gu Yu Cage' and more easily comprehend its mysteries."
"Hmm... no rush for now. I still can't cast the complete 'Gu Yu Cage', and my current main Law comprehension direction is Space Origin Law. I'll consider comprehending its mysteries later."
Now was not the best time to comprehend the mysteries of 'Gu Yu Cage', because the energy consumed by each casting was too much, simply something he, as a Domain Master, could not bear.
...
Beginning Universe, Primal Chaos City.
Ender sat cross-legged on the rooftop of his residence, looking up at the externally manifested Law secret patterns that were sometimes visible in the sky. Having activated Blood River Power, he could perceive Law more clearly.
The Universe Law is incredibly profound. When a person comprehends the mysteries of Law, they can even lose track of time.
And Ender, who was observing the externally manifested Law of the Beginning Universe from the rooftop and comprehending the mysteries of Law, was no exception...
