Chapter 421 Luo Feng Escapes! The Third Fragment of the Heavenly Soul Crystal!
The Lord of Chaos City understood what Zhou Ze was saying.
This is the difference between learning someone else's secret techniques and creating your own.
Generally speaking, it is already extremely difficult to learn and master the secret techniques created by others, especially those of a high level.
As for self-created secret techniques, it goes without saying that only realm lords usually come into contact with them.
Just like Tu Man, who created his own secret technique at the Hengxing level, although it didn't even reach the level of a low-level cultivator, it still surprised a group of King-level Immortals and Universe Venerables!
This shows how difficult it is to create one's own secret techniques. And this kind of self-created secret technique is no match for Zhou Ze's, because if Zhou Ze wanted to comprehend high-level treasures or even higher-level crafting techniques, he didn't even have any weapon-refining secret techniques to refer to.
This means Zhou Ze is about to forge his own path in weapon crafting, and the difficulty of that is unimaginable.
"Holy Master, how about this—"
The Chaos City Lord had barely opened his mouth when Zhou Ze interrupted him.
"Senior Chaos, just call me by my name. This constant 'Saint Master' is making me cringe. If you keep this up, I'm going to avoid you from now on."
Zhou Ze looked embarrassed.
"Although this name is just my title, it somehow feels a bit like—"
The Lord of Chaos City said, both amused and exasperated, "It's just a title. It's your title as the Lord of the Universe, so why aren't you used to it?"
"How can that be the same?" Zhou Ze said wearily, "Your way of addressing me makes me feel like I'm a generation above you for no reason. I really can't stand it."
"If you keep calling me that, I'll just call you senior too. Hmm, that'll make me feel better. Because of this title, I'm even afraid to meet you guys now. It's so damn awkward."
"Alright, Zhou Ze," the Chaos City Lord smiled slightly. "How about this, I'll personally procure the complete inheritance of a high-grade treasure for you, and you can use the materials from the clan's treasury for crafting treasures to practice on—"
"If your hands are itching to practice, then go ahead. If you don't want to forge weapons, no one will know you can, except me. You don't need to worry about being disturbed. As for the treasures you create, you'll receive a certain reward after handing them over to your clan. How about that?"
The Lord of Chaos City looked at Zhou Ze and said, "To use a phrase from your Earth, having no sword in your hand and having a sword but not using it are two different things. If something unexpected happens in the future, at least our clan will still have you to forge weapons."
Since the Lord of Chaos City had put it that way, Zhou Ze had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, even if he could forge high-grade treasures, someone at the level of a universe lord would probably not seek him out to forge a high-grade treasure. As for a universe venerable wanting him to refine a weapon, that depends on how close their relationship is.
"Alright then," Zhou Ze agreed. "But don't get your hopes up too high, Chaos. Once I've crafted a high-grade primordial treasure, unless I have some free time or want to adjust my lifestyle, I won't be studying the art of weapon crafting."
"Hmm, it's alright. You're still young, you have a long life ahead of you. If you remember or get interested, just practice—"
After bidding farewell to the Lord of Chaos City, Zhou Ze returned to his residence to continue his research on weapon crafting.
Ordinary treasures usually only have one layer of secret runes, or two layers, but generally no more than three!
Ordinary treasures with multiple secret patterns are usually deliberately crafted for use by Venerables or even Immortal Kings.
-
After Zhou Ze had thoroughly studied the secret method for crafting ordinary treasures, he was just about to put it into practice when Babata jumped out and said, "Zhou Ze, Luo Feng has escaped from Ice Prison Star. He told me to tell you that he will be back soon to deliver the item to you!"
"Oh? It's much faster than I expected." Zhou Ze smiled.
According to the original storyline, Luo Feng was trapped inside for over two thousand years, and he was released in just over a thousand years. This is undoubtedly related to the improvement of Luo Feng's strength.
At this stage, Luo Feng's strength was still some distance from being invincible at the King level, but now he is truly invincible at the King level, comparable to a weak Cosmic Venerable!
With the strength of a peak Realm Lord comparable to a Universe Venerable, he is simply unprecedented and unparalleled!
About two weeks later.
Luo Feng returned to Chaos City and immediately sought out Zhou Ze.
"Teacher, this is the third fragment of the Heavenly Soul Crystal!"
Luo Feng handed the black metal plate to Zhou Ze and said excitedly, "The third fragment completes the third and fourth tribulations. Now, all five tribulations are complete. Teacher, my human body's genetic level is now stronger than most special life forms!"
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "You can do it! Keep up the good work!"
Luo Feng's slightly excited expression faltered for a moment. He felt as if he had just been treated like a child, like a kindergarten or primary school student yearning for praise from their teacher.
After Luo Feng left, Zhou Ze took the fragments of the Heavenly Soul Crystal directly to the Origin Land and quickly completed the first five levels of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
"The first tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is to triple one's genes, the second tribulation is to triple them, and the third tribulation is to triple them."
"The fourth kalpa is 24 times, and the fifth kalpa is 48 times!"
"Once I complete the fifth tribulation, my genetic level will reach a terrifying 4800 times!! And each of my ten thousand clones will possess 4800 times the genetic potential!"
"Even without breaking through to the Universe Lord level, I can already rival a third-tier Universe Lord!"
"And most importantly, as long as I don't break through to the level of a Universe Lord, with my current life level as a top-tier Universe Overlord, plus 4800 times the genetic potential, I can still activate half of my overclocked state!"
Since Zhou Ze's identity and status were made public and established, people have flocked to him seeking guidance to become immortal kings and cosmic venerables.
This caused his cheat program to level up several times in a row!
Aside from the guaranteed upgrade to the Soul Talent, everything else, such as the Overclocking state, guiding others to increase their comprehension and understanding speed, and the amplification of secret techniques created by oneself, is all stuck at 10,000x!
It's as if it has reached its limit and can no longer improve!
Furthermore, since the last upgrade, thousands of years have passed, and the cheat program has remained completely silent.
Now that he had obtained the Nine Tribulations Manual, Zhou Ze temporarily put aside his research on weapon crafting and instead planned to have all his clones, including himself, complete the first five levels of the Nine Tribulations Manual.
To put it simply, refining high-grade primordial treasures is about increasing the speed of energy absorption, plundering the energy that the servants draw from the ocean of laws, and transforming it into primordial power and expanding the size of the inner world.
However, if one possesses 4800 times the genes, the inner world can rapidly expand by absorbing cosmic crystals, and the speed of converting primal power can also reach 4800 times!
Without hesitation, Zhou Ze's clones scattered throughout the universe began cultivating the third tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual!
As Zhou Ze's genetic level improved, the time required to cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual also increased.
To complete the cultivation of the third, fourth, and fifth tribulations, it would take at least several hundred to a thousand years!
