Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Initial universe, Chaos City.

The door of the City Lord's Mansion is always open, and people often come in and out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Under the powerful attracting call, Li Qi quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. When he raised his head, he saw the three big characters "City Lord's Mansion" that could make people feel trance-like.

In response to the email from Virtual Universe Company, he came to the City Lord's Mansion, but unlike the last time he came to study the Chaos Monument, this time he was going to the inner palace of the City Lord's Mansion!

Compared to the outer gate, which has remained open for a long time, the inner gate has strict guards, and at a glance, all the guards are immortal gods.

"No trespassing is allowed in the inner palace!"

"Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

Before he entered the inner palace, there were two immortal god guards with indifferent expressions. With a "镪" sound, they stopped Li Qi with the spears in their hands.

In the eyes of these two immortal god guards, they are actually very proud to be able to guard the gate for the Lord of Chaos City. This is the Lord of Chaos City, the No. 1 existence of the Virtual Universe Company, and the real number one person in power.

The immortal gods are all rushing to come and see the door. Even if you are a doorman, you can't give any face to the visiting Lord of the Universe, let alone a little guy like Li Qi!

"I am Li Qi Royce." Li Qi said respectfully: "I came to the City Lord's Mansion at the request of Virtual Universe Company."

Hearing this, the coldness in the eyes of the two immortal god guards melted a little, and their eyes became kinder.

They have seen many little guys like the one in front of them that the Virtual Universe Company requires to come to the City Lord's Mansion, and many of them have been accepted as disciples by the Lord of the Universe.

However, even if the Master of the Universe accepted a disciple, he would come out and take him to some special places outside the city lord's palace instead of entering the inner palace.

Hearing Li Qi's answer, other immortal god guards also looked over. They wanted to see what kind of little guy would be accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe.

An immortal god guard with an obviously higher status showed a slight smile on his face and said: "Wait a moment, I will inform you."

After a while, the immortal god guard came back, raised his hand slightly and said: "Go in! Lord Lingtu is waiting for you inside."

"Go in?"

Hearing this, these immortal god guards felt a little incredible, and they couldn't help but start talking among themselves.

You must know that it is rare to encounter a Territory Lord or Realm Lord who can enter the "Inner Palace" of the City Lord's Mansion in hundreds of millions of years. This is where the Chaos City Lord lives.

…

Inner government.

Along the wide corridor, we quickly arrived at a square paved with chaotic rocks.

Li Qi saw a man wearing a gray battle suit, with four ears, no eyebrows and hair, and smooth skin, standing in the distance, looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

Observing the man carefully, Li Qi felt that the space around him seemed to be contained, making him unable to detect the existence of any spatial fluctuations or laws.

"Space has been suppressed." Seeing this, he secretly thought: "This should be a space lord!"

While thinking about it, he walked towards the man with four ears.

"I am Lord Lingtu, and I have come to pick you up on the teacher's order." The man with four ears had a faint smile on his face.

"I've met the Reverend Lingtu!" Li Qi saluted respectfully.

"Yes." Venerable Lingtu said with a faint smile: "Follow me, the teacher is waiting for you."

Li Qi said respectfully: "Yes!"

…

Not long after Li Qi followed Lord Lingtu, they came to a garden.

This garden is not particularly large, covering thousands of square kilometers, with some flowers, plants and trees planted in it.

In the center of the garden, there was a simple stone table. There were four stone benches around the stone table, and a silver-haired man was sitting on one of the stone benches.

"Teacher." After Venerable Lingtu entered the garden, he respectfully saluted the silver-haired man and said, "Here comes Li Qi."

Li Qi lowered his head respectfully, not daring to raise his head, waiting for the great being to speak.

"Yes." The silver-haired man nodded lightly, "You go out first."

"Yes!" Lord Lingtu responded respectfully, then turned and left Li Qi.

Li Qi waited. After a while, an indifferent voice came, "Li Qi Royce?"

"Yes!" Li Qi replied respectfully.

The indifferent voice said: "Raise your head."

Hearing this, Li Qi looked up and saw a silver-haired man sitting in front of a simple stone table, watching him quietly.

This silver-haired man has gray hair and a handsome appearance. He carries a sword on his back and wears an ancient battle armor with blood stains. He exudes a cold aura, giving people a feeling that it is extremely difficult to approach him.

The silver-haired man was sitting there alone. The place where he was seemed to be isolated by time and space, forming two time and space in one place!

As soon as he saw the silver-haired man, Li Qi felt a severe cold coming towards him. Being hit by this extreme cold, his consciousness became a little sluggish.

Seeing this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the silver-haired man again.

"Not the Lord of Chaos City!" With just one glance, Li Qi could tell that the silver-haired man was not the Lord of Chaos City.

"Silver hair, cold, hard to get close to, could it be..." He had the answer in his heart, "He is the Lord of Ice Peak!"

The Lord of Ice Peak, one of the five masters of the universe of the Virtual Universe Company in the original work, has a fourth-level peak combat power, which is at the top level among the masters of the universe, second only to the fifth-level and very few sixth-level masters of the universe.

"I am the Lord of Ice Peak." The silver-haired man's voice came, confirming Li Qi's guess.

"Greetings to the Lord of Ice Peak!" Li Qi saluted respectfully, but at the same time he was confused, "What does the Lord of Ice Peak want from me?"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in Li Qi's mind, and a powerful force of attraction and summoning appeared. His soul and genes seemed to be boiling. The attraction and summoning made him tremble, and an incomparable desire arose!

His body couldn't help but tremble. Li Qi suppressed it with his will, not allowing himself to be affected by the attraction and summoning, because the direction of the attraction and summoning was exactly the direction of the Ice Peak Lord!

"You, sense it." The indifferent voice of the Ice Peak Lord came, "It, is calling you."

Hearing this, Li Qi raised his head suddenly, and saw that the Ice Peak Lord was holding a fiery red crystal in his hand, and the summoning attraction that made him rise up with infinite desire came from the fiery red crystal!

At this time, the fiery red crystal was trembling and struggling, trying to break free from the restraints of the Ice Peak Lord and run towards Li Qi who was attracted and summoned by it!

Huh!

Suddenly, the Ice Peak Lord loosened his five fingers, and the fiery red crystal suddenly broke away from the former's palm and shot towards Li Qi.

Snap!

Li Qi could no longer control himself, and he opened his hands and hugged the fiery red crystal that flew towards him.

Boom!

At the moment he hugged the fiery red crystal, it seemed as if his consciousness was severely damaged. At the moment of death, there was an ancient mysterious whisper that he could not understand, echoing in his mind!

Then, several large characters of "Nine-turn Yuan Refining Body Method" that he could not understand but could understand were imprinted into his consciousness.     Because he had just entered the initial universe, the basic content of this mysterious secret method appeared, and now there are many more words that he could not understand but could understand!

"Nine-turn Yuan Refining Body Method"

The first level can only be cultivated with 32 times the genes. After the cultivation, the genes reach 128 times, which is limited to the universe level.

The second level can be cultivated with 128 times the genes. After the cultivation, the genes reach 512 times, which is limited to the domain master level.

The third level can be cultivated with 512 times the genes. After cultivation, it can reach 2048 times the genes, which is limited to the realm master level.

The fourth level has 2048 times of genes that can be cultivated, and after cultivation, it can reach 8192 times of genes, limited to the immortal level.

The fifth level has 8192 times of genes that can be cultivated, and after cultivation, it can reach 10081 times of genes, limited to the venerable level

…

"This…!" Seeing the newly appeared content of the "Nine-turn Yuan Refining Body Method", Li Qi was shocked, "The fifth level can achieve perfect genes? What about the content behind? Isn't it even stronger!"

He tried to watch the content behind the fifth level, but unfortunately the content behind was a chaos and could not be seen.

"Nine Turns, does this mean that this secret method has nine levels?"

"Nine levels...wait!" He was startled, "Could it be that this secret method is related to the Nine Tribulations Secret Book that Luo Feng practiced in the original book?"

"It shouldn't be possible..." He was a little unsure, "The Nine Tribulations Secret Book has only nine levels, and there is no restriction on practice. When Luo Feng in the original book was immortal, his life gene level reached the perfect gene, thus obtaining the innate secret method "I am the Universe"."

"How?" At this time, the voice of the Lord of Ice Peak sounded, "Did you obtain the inheritance?"

Hearing this, Li Qi suddenly sobered up, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind were thrown behind him. He remembered the environment he was in.

"I did obtain it." He nodded honestly.

He didn't dare to play any tricks. Even the inheritance crystal that resonated was given by the Lord of Ice Peak. It was obvious that he knew that he had the inheritance.

"Can you tell me?" The Lord of Ice Peak asked.

Li Qi opened his mouth and tried to read out the contents of the basic chapter, but no sound came out. Helplessly, he just shook his head and said, "I can't say it."

The Lord of Bingfeng looked normal, "Sure enough."

In fact, he had expected it long ago. It was really that this irregular fiery red inheritance crystal was too mysterious.

When he first obtained this fiery red crystal in Liuchong Mountain, although this inheritance crystal could only be used as an ordinary soul treasure before it resonated, he also thought it was extraordinary because its material was very solid and even the peak treasure could not destroy it.

And then it proved his guess. When he met the Lord of Gu Na, the inheritance crystals held by both parties resonated, and they also met together in response to the call.

After a fierce battle, he used the top fourth-level combat power to force the Lord of Gu Na, who could briefly burst out the fifth-level strength, to self-destruct!

The power of the self-destruction was very strong, and it directly blew away the 32 transparent crystal inheritance crystals held by the Lord of Gu Na.

Because he had no resonance inheritance crystals, he had to put the inheritance crystals he held into the clan treasury, but in order to prevent the inheritance crystals from being easily exchanged without wasting their value, he specially raised their exchange price to the level of top treasures!

Now, the inheritance crystal that he didn't get at the beginning was obtained by the little guy in front of him, and it also caused resonance and obtained inheritance. It can be said that fate is playing tricks on people.

The Lord of Ice Peak felt a little emotional, then looked at Li Qi and asked, "Are you willing to become my registered disciple?"

Seeing that the Lord of Ice Peak wanted to accept him as a registered disciple, Li Qi was naturally happy and quickly said, "Disciple is willing!"

"Yes." The Lord of Ice Peak nodded gently, "The "Divine Tree Chaos Monument" you practiced started with the law of the origin of wood, then practiced the law of space, and finally followed the law of fusion of wood and space."

"The Venerable Divine Tree who founded the "Divine Tree Chaos Monument" was also an amazing and powerful person in the history of my human race. Unfortunately, he fell completely before reaching the peak of the Venerable, and he didn't even have the chance to be resurrected."

Hearing the word resurrection, Li Qi couldn't help but speak, but fortunately he stopped just after making a little sound.

The Lord of Bingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and seeing that Li Qi was hesitant to speak, he asked: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Qi asked knowingly: "Teacher, can you revive others?"

"Yes." The Venerable Bingfeng nodded slightly.

"Disciple dares! I want to ask the teacher to revive my family." Li Qi bowed his head and said respectfully, his words sincere.

Hearing this, the Lord of Bingfeng did not answer immediately, but just quietly watched Li Qi who bowed his head respectfully.

He controlled time and space, went back in time, and watched Li Qi's growth process. He knew that he valued his family, acted decisively, and while respecting the rules of the universe, he also pitied the weak.

It was precisely because of his character that he decided to accept Li Qi as a registered disciple now, otherwise he would have to wait a long time before today.

After a long time, the Lord of Ice Peak said: "If you can pass the tenth floor of Tongtian Bridge within five hundred years, the twelfth floor of Tongtian Bridge within one thousand years, and any original Tongtian Mountain within five thousand years, you can become my direct disciple, and I will also resurrect your family for you."

Li Qi was ecstatic, "Thank you, teacher."

When his elder brother died, he decided to do everything he could to resurrect his elder brother. Now he has finally done it, and there is hope for resurrecting his elder brother!

As long as he can pass the teacher's test, he can resurrect his elder brother and become the teacher's formal disciple.

"You are my ninth disciple. Before you, I accepted eight disciples, each of whom is a cosmic venerable."

The Lord of Ice Peak continued: "Your seventh brother, Venerable Lingtu, practiced the "Nine Universe Chaos Monument". Although he achieved immortality with the law of earth and became a venerable with the law of space, his understanding of the law of wood is not low."

"In the future, your seventh brother will guide you once every ten years."

"Yes." Li Qi said respectfully.

The Ice Peak Lord waved his hand gently, "Okay, go back."

"Teacher."

"Hmm?" The Ice Peak Lord was a little unhappy, "Anything else?"

In front of the new disciple, he had tried his best to be kind, but he couldn't help Li Qi, the new disciple, and offended him again.

Li Qi bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple wants to ask the teacher about the choice of clone."

"Doppelgänger?" The Ice Peak Lord was a little surprised, "Can you breed a clone?"

"Yes." Li Qi replied, "After touching the inheritance crystal, the disciple got the opportunity to perform the clone secret method once."

The Ice Peak Lord asked, "Still can't tell it?"

Li Qi nodded.

Seeing this, the Ice Peak Lord felt it was a pity. If this inheritance could be shared, the opportunity to perform the clone secret method alone would be extremely helpful to the future strength of the human race.

It should be noted that the clone can not only improve talent, but also has a strong ability to save life. Many geniuses and strong men have fallen because they don't have a clone to save their lives.

After feeling sorry, the Ice Peak Lord thought for a while before speaking: "Based on your situation, I will give you three suggestions for nurturing a clone."
