"According to you, you have one opportunity to use the Clone Secret Technique," Ice Summit Master said. "One opportunity means you might only be able to use the Clone Secret Technique once, so you can't take risks."
"After investigation, your life gene level is 32 times. The Clone you choose to conceive should also have a life gene level within 32 times."
Ender listened carefully. After the Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method was updated, he had no intention of using that one Clone Secret Technique opportunity after Cultivating this Secret Technique.
Because, first, he obtained an opportunity to use the Clone Secret Technique after the Basic Chapter reached Perfection, and then the official version of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method increased his life gene level.
The Basic Chapter came first!
The Official Chapter came after!
Considering Luo Feng in the original work, his Earth human main body died many times when he first Cultivated the Nine Calamities Secret Manual. If he hadn't had the ability to use a Clone to save his life, he would have died beyond redemption long ago.
Obviously, this Secret Technique of increasing life gene level is very dangerous during Cultivation. If there is no Clone to save one's life, there is a high possibility of dying during Cultivation. The Basic Chapter providing a Clone is the best proof!
"My first suggestion is… a Mosha Clan Clone."
Ice Summit Master said, "The Mosha Clan is one of the Pinnacle energy-based life forms, possessing the title of 'Strongest Assassin Race'. Their only drawback is their incredibly difficult and slow growth. Their black skin has dark golden Space Origin Law secret patterns, which can be used to assist in comprehending Space Law."
"Although they are not special life forms, they are energy life forms without a Soul, and they are also darlings of Space Law, with Space Law talent approaching full marks."
"Furthermore, the Mosha Clan has no fixed appearance and can change at will, and they also have a talent Secret Technique — 'Copy'."
"They don't have a fixed external appearance, they can change it at will and They can copy a target's life aura, Soul aura, etc. Unless an Immortal uses Psychic energy to penetrate the body to investigate, otherwise, from appearance and sensing aura, the Mosha Clan's disguise cannot be discovered."
"I know you bought a not-small piece of Mosha Clan skin to comprehend Space Law."
At this point, Ice Summit Master paused and glanced at Ender. "If you choose to conceive a Mosha Clan Clone, I do not recommend you use that piece of skin to conceive the Clone. Buying a new piece of incomplete skin worth about 100 points is enough to conceive the Clone."
Upon hearing this, Ender's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. It was clear that Ice Summit Master had guessed his little scheme.
In fact, the area of skin needed to a Clone is not large. The piece of Mosha Clan skin he bought earlier, worth over a thousand points, was to make others believe that he bought it to comprehend Space Law, not to conceive a Clone.
"The second suggestion is… to clone a Drum-Horned Shock Beast Clone." Ice Summit Master said, "The Drum-Horned Shock Beast is an extinct flesh-and-blood special life form with a life gene level of 30 times, and its body length can reach over a thousand kilometers. Our Human Race has some resources for conceiving this Clone."
"The Drum-Horned Shock Beast has two talent Secret Techniques, namely 'Space Domain' and 'Time Domain'. These two talent Secret Techniques are not strong when used alone, but when used together, they possess some of the power of controlling time and space."
"The Drum-Horned Shock Beast's Law comprehension talent is not particularly high. If full marks are ten points, its Space Law talent is probably five points, and its Time Law talent is seven points."
Hearing the second suggestion, Ender was somewhat moved. Having Space and Time Law talent, and also a talent Secret Technique similar to controlling time and space, sounded good.
However, he still wanted to hear what Ice Summit Master's last suggestion was.
"The final suggestion is… a Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone." Ice Summit Master revealed the third suggestion.
"This is an extinct plant-based special life form. Our Human Race still retains some resources for conceiving this race."
Ice Summit Master introduced, "When the Gu Yu Ancient Tree grows to its Pinnacle as an Immortal, its Divine Power body can reach a height of a hundred kilometers, and its life gene level is also 32 times, which is exactly equal to your life gene level."
"Furthermore, it has very high talent in both Space and Wood Origin Law, both reaching eight points."
"The Gu Yu Ancient Tree has two talent Secret Techniques. One is 'Gu Yu Cage', which is a manifestation of Wood-Space Fusion Laws. In addition to strong suppression ability, it also has some power to seal space."
"The second talent Secret Technique is 'Branch Transfer'. This Secret Technique is the Gu Yu Ancient Tree's main means of movement. The main tree can Cultivate up to two sub-trees with its branches. Sub-trees can only reach one percent of the main tree's height.
"After cultivating sub-trees, the main tree can transfer its Life Core to a sub-tree. After transferring the Life Core, the main tree will wither, and the sub-tree that receives the Life Core will become the main tree and can continue to grow to a hundred kilometers tall."
After listening to the introduction, Ender's expression was somewhat excited. This Gu Yu Ancient Tree suited his wishes the most!
It had high Wood Origin Law and Space Law talent, one Clone could be used as three identities, and it also had a talent Secret Technique of Fusion Laws, which was very suitable for walking the Beast God Path to become a Universe Master.
Does he even need to choose? Of course, it's conceiving the Gu Yu Ancient Tree!
Ender made up his mind and was about to speak.
At this moment, he heard Ice Summit Master say, "This Gu Yu Ancient Tree has a drawback, which is that our Human Race only has World Master Level Clone resources!"
"What! Only World Master Level Clone resources?" Ender was astonished. "Then how can I conceive a Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone?"
In the original work, Luo Feng's conceived Clones never exceeded the Realm of the Golden-Horned Beast.
At Stellar Rank, he conceived the Planetary Level Earth human main body. At Universe Level, he conceived the Mosha Clan Clone, which was also Universe Level. At World Master Level, he conceived the World Master Level Blood Sea Clone.
"Does the Clone Secret Technique you can use limit you to only using resources of the same Realm to conceive a Clone?" Ice Summit Master first asked, and then said, "The Universe is vast and mysterious. Some special encounters can allow people to conceive Clones, and also allow people to conceive Clones regardless of their strength."
"However, resources that can conceive Clones can only be below Immortal. After all life reaches the Immortal Level, their life essence has transformed into Divine Power."
"I'm saying all this just to tell you that if your Clone Secret Technique doesn't limit you to only using it on the same Realm, then you can take a gamble!"
Ice Summit Master said, "Of course, if you don't want to gamble, you can choose the first two suggestions, or even exchange for the Clone resources you desire from the Virtual Universe Company's treasury."
"If you want to conceive the latter two Clones I suggested, then tell me, and I will arrange for someone to send them to you. If not, you can leave."
"I'll give you some time." Ice Summit Master said indifferently, "Think it over carefully."
After speaking, Ice Summit Master disappeared from before the stone table, only his voice remaining in Ender's ears.
Ender did not notice Ice Summit Master's departure. He was now deeply conflicted, struggling with what Clone to conceive!
His top choice for a Clone was naturally the Gu Yu Ancient Tree. This Clone could be used as three identities, had very high Wood Law and Space Law talent, and also had a Fusion Law talent Secret Technique, which was too compatible with him!
Next was the Drum-Horned Shock Beast. This Clone had Space and Time Law talent, but neither was very high, and he hadn't witnessed the two talent Secret Techniques, so it was hard to evaluate.
Finally, it was the Mosha Clan. The Mosha Clan's Space Law talent was close to full marks, but he also had Space Law talent, and with his current comprehension of Earth and Wood Laws, his Space Law talent was not weak.
If he hadn't had Ice Summit Master's suggestions, he would certainly have chosen to conceive a Mosha Clan Clone. Now that he had better options, he would naturally change his mind.
"Gamble? Or not gamble?" Ender lowered his head, his eyes slightly narrowed, caught in a dilemma.
Gamble, choose to conceive a Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone.
If he wins!
His future prospects would be limitless, walking the Beast God Path would be smoother, and he would essentially have three Clones.
But what if he loses!
He would most likely lose his only opportunity to conceive a Clone, and he might die when Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method in the future. If he doesn't gamble, he would choose to conceive a Drum-Horned Shock Beast Clone.
It would be very difficult for him to comprehend Space and Time Law and become a Universe Master in the future, because the Drum-Horned Shock Beast's Law talent is limited.
He could also take the path of Time and Space Law Fusion, but this path is very, very difficult, because there are no predecessors on this path, and he cannot obtain any reference opinions.
"Wait!" Ender's spirit lifted, then he said blankly inside, "There are no predecessors on the Time and Space Fusion path? How do I know that? That's strange!"
After the blankness, he pushed that strange thought to the back of his mind and fell into conflict again.
"The Basic Chapter only says that one opportunity to use the Clone Secret Technique is obtained, and one Clone not exceeding the main body's life gene level can be conceived, limited to Universe Level."
He mused, "This 'limited to Universe Level' probably means it's limited to being used at Universe Level, because the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Heavy Body Refining Method is also limited to Universe Level Cultivation."
"If my guess is correct, then the Clone resources that the Clone Secret Technique can conceive are not limited to Universe Level."
"Since that's the case, then I'll take a gamble!" Ender gritted his teeth and made up his mind. "If I win, the future is promising, and my chances of becoming a Universe Master will greatly increase!"
"If I lose, at worst, I'll go cling to Luo Feng's thigh and invest in him without interfering with his growth. At the very least, I should get a Holy Land spot, and becoming a Universe Master in the future might not be impossible."
As if sensing Ender had made a decision, Ice Summit Master instantly appeared before the ancient stone table and asked, "What is your decision?"
Ender bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, I choose the Gu Yu Ancient Tree!"
Looking at the respectful young man before him, Ice Summit Master was not surprised. He had observed his growth experience and knew that he had a cautious heart, but more than that, he was decisive!
When his elder brother died and his Family fell into crisis, he, who had always been wary due to his physical talent, decisively chose to Cultivate for his Family, and finally, due to good luck, he was not Possessed.
"Good." Ice Summit Master nodded slightly. "You go back first. I will have someone send the Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone resources to your residence in Primal Chaos City as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Teacher." Ender said respectfully, "Disciple takes his leave."
...
As soon as he exited the courtyard, he turned around and saw his Seventh Senior Brother, Venerable Lingtu.
Venerable Lingtu, who had four ears, smooth skin, no hair or eyebrows, and was dressed in gray battle attire, smiled at him from not far away.
Ender stepped forward and said respectfully, "Seventh Senior Brother."
Although he and Seventh Senior Brother Venerable Lingtu were both Disciples of Ice Summit Master, the difference in their strength was too great, so he had to maintain the respect due to a Universe Venerable.
"Teacher has asked me to guide you once every ten years for the next five thousand years." Venerable Lingtu smiled. "Today is the first time. If you have any confusion regarding Law comprehension, you can speak it out."
Upon hearing this, Ender expressed his confusion regarding Wood Origin Law and Space Law, and Venerable Lingtu explained them one by one, quickly resolving all his confusion, which benefited him greatly.
After the guidance, Venerable Lingtu asked, "What Secret Technique are you Cultivating now?"
"Replying, Seventh Senior Brother, it is the Green Vine Secret Manual created by King Green Vine," Ender replied.
"King Green Vine's Green Vine Secret Manual is a good introductory Secret Technique in the Divine Tree Primal Chaos Tablet lineage." Venerable Lingtu nodded slightly and said, "However, this Secret Technique mainly explains Wood Origin Law, and the explanation of Space Law later on is not very deep."
"I suggest that after you pass the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, you exchange for Divine Tree True Solution or Time Space Scribbles to major in Space Law."
Venerable Lingtu said, "Divine Tree True Solution was created by Divine Tree Venerable. Except for the first chapter, which explains Wood Origin Law, the other seven volumes explain Space Law and the more profound Wood-Space Fusion Laws."
"And Time Space Scribbles is a Secret Technique created by the founder of the Nine Universe Primal Chaos Tablet. The first six volumes explain Space Law. You only need to exchange for the first few volumes for reference."
"The exchange prices for these two Secret Techniques are very high," Venerable Lingtu said. "But they can be exchanged by volume, so you don't need to worry too much."
"Thank you for your guidance, Seventh Senior Brother." Ender thanked him.
He had previously considered exchanging for Time Space Scribbles and other Secret Techniques that explained Space Law. Now with Venerable Lingtu's recommendation, he could make up his mind.
He planned to exchange for the first two volumes of Divine Tree True Solution and the first volume of Time Space Scribbles. Whichever had better Cultivation effects, he would exchange for that one later.
"Do you have any other questions?" Venerable Lingtu asked.
"No." Ender shook his head, then said, "I want to ask Seventh Senior Brother for a small favor."
"Speak," Venerable Lingtu said.
"Seventh Senior Brother also knows that I am a member of the Primal Secret Realm and can ask an Immortal to be my mentor, stationed in the Primal Secret Realm manor to guide me in Cultivation."
Venerable Lingtu nodded, "Mm."
"Now I want to ask Seventh Senior Brother to help me find a teacher who is skilled in claw techniques to be stationed in the Primal Secret Realm manor to guide me in Cultivating claw techniques, movement techniques, and amplitude," Ender said.
"Let me check." Venerable Lingtu said, sending a wisp of his will into the Virtual Universe. Then he asked with some surprise, "You haven't applied for an Immortal mentor before?"
"No." Ender was confused. "Isn't this assigned by the Virtual Universe Company?"
"Immortal mentors need to be applied for by oneself." Venerable Lingtu shook his head slightly, saying with some emotion, "It's rare that you could Cultivate to this point with the guidance of a mere World Master."
"Mm." Suddenly, Venerable Lingtu pondered, then said, "You go back and apply to the Virtual Universe Company to have Marquis Bone Forging Beiku serve as your Immortal mentor."
Ender thanked him, "Thank you, Seventh Senior Brother."
"If you have nothing else, you can go back." Venerable Lingtu said, "Take your time to digest the confusions you've resolved."
"Okay." Ender nodded, then left.
After Ender left, Venerable Lingtu sighed with some emotion, "This Junior Brother of mine is also formidable, relying on the guidance of a mere ordinary World Master to reach this point and become a Disciple of Teacher."
...
After Ender left, Primal Chaos City Lord appeared in the courtyard, sitting opposite Ice Summit Master, and said, "That young man is hiding something."
