Chapter 106 The Secret of the Evolution of the Yanshen Clan
Within the original secret realm.

In addition to the largest Wuchen continent and the 136 Wuchen planets, there are many other celestial bodies orbiting the Wuchen continent.

Some of these celestial bodies are the residences of cosmic masters and super immortals who reside in the original secret realm.

Some are special forbidden areas. For example, the entrance to the Purgatory Abyss is located on a seemingly inconspicuous fiery red planet.

Among them is a magnificent iceberg that is over 100 million kilometers high and crystal clear. It is the most eye-catching among the countless celestial bodies surrounding the Wuchen Continent.

This iceberg is actually a palace where the great Lord of the Ice Peak lives.

An ice staircase path extends from the foot of the mountain to the end of the mountain.

Shen Mu walked up the ice steps. The entire path was surrounded by a faint mist, which contained an extremely special fluctuation that suppressed all means of flying.

Even though Shen Mu moved extremely quickly, nearly two days had passed by the time he reached the top of the mountain.

hum!
A bit of cold air surged, and then a figure in a snow-white robe emerged, his whole body shrouded in crystal white mist, and a pair of ice-blue eyes fell on Shen Mu.

The person who came was none other than Venerable Bai Feng, whom Shen Mu had met once before.

"Greetings, Venerable Bai Feng." Shen Mu bowed.

Venerable Bai Feng nodded slightly and said softly: "Since you have become my disciple, just call me Senior Sister."

As he spoke, the icy mist surrounding Venerable Bai Feng dissipated slightly, revealing a beautiful face with crystal blue eyes and a mysterious pattern of law between his eyebrows.

"Fourth Senior Sister." Shen Mu said quickly.

Venerable Bai Feng smiled faintly and said, "Don't be shy. The teacher has a cold personality, so he rarely accepts disciples. Including you, there are only three of us in total."

three people?
That means I have another senior brother.

Seeing Shen Mu's expression, Venerable Bai Feng roughly guessed what Shen Mu was thinking, so he began to explain.

"Master's first disciple died countless years ago. He was only a Realm Master when he died. At that time, the human race only had the Virtual Universe Company, and there was no such thing as the five top powers."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Mu nodded slightly. The era of the Virtual Universe Company was so ancient that it was unknown how many eras ago.

Teacher Qianwu, the Lord of the Kingdom, is one of the 1008 great cosmic pillars of the human race and the oldest surviving group of venerables. He belongs to that era.

At that time, all the geniuses and strong people came from the Virtual Universe Company. Only a few of them were able to survive from that era to the present, and almost all of them have become the top strong people in the human race.

As he was speaking, Shen Mu, under the guidance of Venerable Bai Feng, entered the Iceberg Palace.

After crossing the circular arch, the entire space and time suddenly changed. The scene in front of you turned into an extremely vast ocean. On the ocean were floating the remains of various strange creatures, exuding an ancient and vast atmosphere.

In the center of the ocean, there is an ancient continent. A silver-haired man with gray hair on his temples is sitting cross-legged in mid-air. He is wearing ancient armor stained with blood and carrying a sword on his back.

"Teacher, Shen Mu is here."

Venerable Bai Feng bowed to the man.

The Lord of Ice Peak looked at Shen Mu. For a moment, Shen Mu felt as if the entire time and space were completely frozen. Those eyes seemed to turn into a pair of bright stars, seeing through him completely.

At this moment, Shen Mu froze in place, his body completely out of control.

"What a unique dragon life! No wonder even my senior brother likes you so much."

Although the Lord of Ice cannot see through Shen Mu's soul directly like the Lord of Chaos City, he can also see through Shen Mu's inner world and observe Shen Mu's Azure Dragon clone.

It was just as the Lord of Chaos City said, it possessed the top bloodline of the star beasts, the top bloodline of the prison clan, and some subtle characteristics of the special life form, the soul-parasitic demon worm.

It is actually very rare for the Lord of Ice to accept disciples. It is not because the Lord of Ice Peak has high requirements, but because of his personality. He likes to be alone, and has far fewer disciples than the Lord of Chaos City, who is crazy about accepting disciples.

Generally speaking, as long as a being with sufficiently high talent appears in the human race and is affiliated with a virtual universe company, the Lord of Chaos City will extend an olive branch.

Therefore, other universe masters of the virtual universe company, including the Lord of Bingfeng, were content to have some free time and seldom accepted disciples.

"Since you are willing to take me as your master, from now on, you are the third disciple of my Lord of Ice."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu quickly bowed and said, "Shen Mu greets the teacher."

The Lord of Ice nodded slightly and said, "You have an excellent talent in the law of water-air fusion, and you can just inherit the unique skills created by your master."

"But you haven't really gotten started with the fusion law yet. The most urgent task now is to truly cross the threshold of the fusion law."

Although Venerable Bai Feng is also a direct disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak, he did not inherit the most powerful skills of the Lord of Ice Peak, but instead followed the conventional tradition of time and space.

As for the reason, it is because long years ago, the Lord of Ice also broke through to become the Lord of the Universe by understanding the two major laws of time and space.

It was said in the original book that no one in the entire human race has broken through by using the law of fusion.

The Lord of Ice Peak later began to comprehend the law of fusion. It was also because he was good at close combat. In order to create the strongest close combat skills, he began to study the way of the Beast God after becoming the Lord of the Universe.

Those born beast gods were born as the masters of the universe and the embodiment of the fusion law. Not only that, they were also born to be masters of close combat, and every part of their body was the most powerful weapon.

After comprehending the highest realm of the Way of the Beast God - the Heart of the Beast God, close combat is no longer limited to knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, but any weapon or fists and feet can be used to display one's strongest skills.

"How about this, I will first give you a copy of 'Seven Levels of Water and Sky', which is a secret manual that explains the mysteries of the fusion law. Once you have truly comprehended the first three levels, you will be qualified to inherit my unique skills."

"Disciple thanks the teacher for the gift."

This "Seven Levels of Water and Sky" is also a secret method created by the Lord of Ice Peak after he fully understood the way of the Beast God. It explains the mystery of the entire water and sky fusion law and is much stronger than the incomplete "Seven Changes of the God" created by Nashidoro.

Such an ultimate secret book is naturally not granted in the real world. Only Shen Mu can comprehend it when he enters the virtual universe. This is also a way to prevent the secret method from being leaked.

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly and said, "I seldom teach you normally. If you have any doubts, you can ask your fourth senior sister. A few years ago, your fourth senior sister also practiced the law of fusion, but she gave up in the end."

"is teacher."

After Shen Mu bowed again, he looked at Venerable Bai Feng beside him and said, "Fourth Senior Sister, I may have to bother you more in the future."

Venerable Bai Feng smiled faintly and said, "That's nothing. It's not bad to have a junior brother. It saves me from staying with the teacher all day. I'm about to turn into an ice cube."

The Lord of Ice Peak, with some gray hair on his temples, wanted to refute, but found that his second disciple seemed to be right.

Before becoming his disciple, Venerable Bai Feng was also a spirited and lively young girl, and now she is known as the second ice cube of the human race.

After joking for a while, Venerable Bai Feng's face became serious and he said, "To follow the lineage of the fusion law, talent is only the foundation, and understanding is the most important. Junior brother, you must be prepared."

Unless within the Ancestral God Religion, there is almost no place in the outside world to directly comprehend the law of fusion. One can only comprehend the two laws by oneself, and then try to comprehend the artistic conception of fusion therein.

"Remember Senior Sister's teachings."

At this time, the Lord of Ice Peak said, "You should not live in Wuchen Continent anymore. Choose a place to live on a planet near the Iceberg Palace."

"is teacher."

...After a while, Shen Mu and Venerable Bai Feng said goodbye to the Lord of Ice, and then left this huge iceberg of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

After leaving the iceberg, Venerable Bai Feng teleported with Shen Mu to the planet where he lived.

As a celestial-level treasure palace, there are many stars orbiting around the Iceberg Palace, but basically no one lives there.

This is a life planet that is about the same size as a star. It is full of a plant life called "Xuetong", which is a companion plant of the special life "Xueluan".

"This life planet is where I live. Besides this, there is another life planet, where your third nephew lives."

Venerable Bai Feng led Shen Mu to the core area of ​​this life planet.

There grows a huge snow tung tree here. The green tree is about 100,000 kilometers tall, and the diameter of its crown is nearly one million kilometers. Its branches are covered with crystal leaves that resemble snowflakes, and a snow-white divine bird is lying on top of it.

At the lowest point of the tree, there is a tree hole palace, which is the residence of Venerable Bai Feng.

"Owner!"

A joyful sound came from the snow tung tree, and then a bit of divine power surged out, condensing into a young girl, appearing beside Venerable Bai Feng.

Venerable Bai Feng raised his hand and patted Shen Mu on the shoulder: "Xiao Tong, this is my third junior brother Shen Mu. From now on, he can come and go from Xuetong Star at will."

"Xuetong greets Master Shen Mu."

The girl Xuetong was shocked. She didn't expect that this unremarkable human was actually the third direct disciple of the great Lord of Ice Peak and the third junior brother of her master.

Shen Mu responded with a smile and then followed Venerable Bai Feng into the tree hole palace.

The entire tree hole palace is not small. It is divided into three floors, each with a main hall and countless side halls.

"Senior Sister, can I live on Xuetong Star?"

Venerable Bai Feng was a little surprised, but he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can choose any place on the planet to build a residence, or you can directly choose a side hall here."

Shen Mu did not shamelessly live in the palace of Venerable Bai Feng. Instead, he found a beautiful and quiet lake on Xuetong Star and used the power of the world to condense a small courtyard on the lakeside.

"Master, King Longyu's call request." Tuanzi's voice suddenly sounded in Shen Mu's ears.

"Teacher Longyu Wang? Connect directly."

The call was connected, and a virtual light screen appeared in front of Shen Mu, with the cold face of King Longyu appearing on the screen.

"Teacher Wang Longyu." Shen Mu bowed slightly.

King Longyu smiled and nodded, "Shen Mu, I just received a transfer order from the Virtual Universe Company. I will no longer be your instructor."

Shen Mu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he guessed that this was probably the work of the Ice Lord's teacher.

"Thank you for your guidance during this period."

King Longyu chuckled and shook his head, "No need to do that. It's my luck to be able to guide you for a while."

The fact that Shen Mu became the direct disciple of the Lord of Ice Peak is still kept secret, and few people know about it for now.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Mu went straight into the virtual universe, wanting to meet his new instructor.

……

In the Yuxiangshan plane, inside Shen Mu’s manor.

"Your Highness, I am Tu Zheng, with the title of Mad Blade King. I will be responsible for guiding Your Highness in close combat training in the future."

In front of Shen Mu, a burly man about ten meters tall, covered with scales and with a curved horn between his eyebrows bowed slightly towards Shen Mu.

"Teacher Kuang Dao Wang, are you from... the Yanshen clan?" Shen Mu asked uncertainly.

There are so many races with similar appearances in the universe, but no matter how you look or aura the Mad Blade King has, he is definitely a member of the Yanshen Clan.

But the human race no longer exists in the Yanshen Clan, and they have long been split apart. Even if they meet in the battlefield outside the domain, it will be like enemies meeting each other with envy.

Tu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, you can just call me Tu Zheng. My master is the great Lord of Youhou."

"I see."

Shen Mu shook his head slightly. For a moment he really ignored the situation of the soul slave.

However, it seems that among the strong people enslaved by the human race, there are probably not many who are from the Yanshen clan, and the Tu Zheng in front of him may be the most powerful member of the Yanshen clan enslaved by the human race.

Tu Zheng said with a somewhat respectful look: "In addition to close combat, I will also be responsible for guiding the genetic evolution of your Highness's Yanshen clan clone in the future."

As a soul slave, Tu Zheng was very clear about the identity of the Lord of Youhou. Theoretically, this young domain lord-level genius in front of him could call his great master a fellow apprentice.

"Gene evolution!"

"Let me explain in detail. Ever since I got the Yanshen clan clone, I have been studying the secrets of genetic evolution, but I still can't figure it out."

Shen Mu could clearly perceive that within the genes of his Yanshen clan clone, there was an extremely complex and special gene chain.

It is called a gene chain, but in fact it is more like some kind of secret pattern chain, but it has been dormant and has never truly revived.

Shen Mu also tried to stimulate these gene chains to revive them, but never succeeded. These special gene chains are the reason why the Yanshen people can evolve after birth.

"Your Highness, the secret of the genetic evolution of our Yanshen clan lies in the test between life and death."

Tu Zheng said with an extremely serious expression: "And it's not just ordinary tempering. It's when you are truly in a near-death state and may die at any time that there is a certain hope of stimulating evolution."

"But the mortality rate of this method is too high and the success rate is extremely low."

"Therefore, the first Venerable of the Yanshen Clan, Venerable Yanshen, once created a special secret method that can 'cheat' one's own genes, making the genetic instincts mistakenly think that they are in a state of near-death, thereby stimulating them to evolve."

"Of course, during this process, the body will instinctively develop a fear of death. We must remain absolutely awake at all times and continue to activate the secret method until the evolution is complete."

"Once the secret technique is interrupted, the genetic evolution will be interrupted. In the worst case, the genetics will collapse and the person will die."

In summary, the genetic evolution of the Yanshen clan depends on whether their state of mind and will are strong, and whether they can overcome the fear of facing death.

Although it is much easier to evolve through secret methods, the mortality rate is still very high, and the requirements for the state of mind are very harsh. This is why no one in the entire Yanshen clan has been able to achieve perfect genes since its birth.

You have to know that what Zuo Shanke expects of the Yanshen Clan is the third stage of the divine power route, which has extremely high potential. The perfect gene is just a starting point for the divine power route.

It was also because Zuo Shanke discovered the huge flaws in the mentality of the Yanshen clan that the later lineage of Earthlings was born.

Perhaps the people on Earth are ordinary in other aspects, but in terms of soul and state of mind, they are absolutely unique among the countless races in the entire universe.

You know, even ordinary people on Earth can control their emotions and not show their emotions on their faces after gaining enough experience.

Many immortal gods in the universe may not be able to do this, as their emotional control abilities are not at the same level at all.
