Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Lin Qing was taken aback: "Is that even possible?"

"While becoming a Main God as a Chaos God certainly brings endless benefits, it often also means being isolated."

Lord Su said, "You must consider carefully; doing so will inevitably lead to the destruction of a Second-level Civilization, and your biological parents from your reincarnation will surely be implicated and die."

Lin Qing frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any other way?"

"There is."

Lord Su nodded and said, "If you become a Chaos God and then reincarnate to a Third Level Civilization, as a microcosm truly transcending the universe, even just the Star Abyss Will would be unable to invade a Third Level Civilization."

"Third Level Civilization?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "What about the 2.9-level Civilization Holy Land?"

"Though a 2.9-level Civilization can step outside of space-time, only the Ancestor who created the Holy Land can transcend the universe." Lord Su shook his head and said, "It still cannot block the prying of the Star Abyss Will."

"Alright then..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "The premise is that I can gain access to a Third Level Civilization."

Lord Su chuckled and said, "Didn't you go to the Bronze Demon Mountain? As long as you can reach a hundred thousand layers, you'll receive the Guiding Imprint of a Third Level Civilization."

"A hundred thousand layers..." Lin Qing said, "That's still quite far away."

Over a hundred years ago, he had only reached thirty-four thousand layers on the Bronze Demon Mountain, far from the one hundred thousand.

"If your Spiritual Will can reach the hundred thousand layers, it means it's sufficient to meet the Will requirements of a Void Divine Positioner level."

Lord Su thought for a moment and said, "I remember the Fei Yuan City Lord once created a secret technique to temper the Spiritual Will, which requires the treasure 'Heart Realm Source' born at the beginning of the universe to cultivate. Theoretically, it can grow the Spiritual Will to the Cosmic Limit, which is quite miraculous."

"Oh?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

"However..." Lord Su glanced at him and said, "The secret technique is one thing, but the Heart Realm Source is her most important treasure, and she's not likely to give it to you."

"Isn't it part of the Fei Yuan City Lord's legacy?" Lin Qing was startled.

"She left behind an Information Life identical to herself." Lord Su said, "Even her own legacy, she wouldn't simply hand over the Heart Realm Source; it's surely for cultivating her successors, replacing one if the previous dies."

She gave Lin Qing a look and said, "If the successor you find is outstanding enough, the Fei Yuan City Lord might lend you the Heart Realm Source for a while."

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Yet, as for the outcome of the legacy test, it's up to Yuanxue Qiuyue's performance, and he can only wait patiently.

Just three days later.

In the distant dark void, the tomb belonging to the Fei Yuan City Lord quivered slightly, and Yuanxue Qiuyue was instantly teleported out.

Lin Qing perked up spiritually and immediately asked, "How was it?"

"Councilman, thank you for your guidance, your great kindness will be repaid." Yuanxue Qiuyue, somewhat excited, respectfully saluted, as if she had gained some great benefit.

"Oh?"

Lord Su raised an eyebrow slightly, showing a hint of a smile, and said to Lin Qing, "You should go see the Fei Yuan City Lord; she's waiting for you."

"Now?" Before Lin Qing could speak, he noticed the transformation of time and space around him. Enveloped in darkness for merely a moment, he found himself in a space reminiscent of the dark void of outer space.

In the darkness not far away stood a tall woman in a blue robe, resembling an Earth person, and her attire was rather retro.

The same Information Life as the Fei Yuan City Lord?

"The first Tomb Guardian, indeed not bad."

The tall woman looked at Lin Qing calmly and said in a soft voice, "The successor you found is lacking in other aspects, but her soul is indeed well-suited for fusing with the Cosmic Heavenly Kite bloodline, barely considered second rate."

"Second rate?" Lin Qing couldn't help but wonder, everything else is lacking, yet she's still considered second rate?

"I'll give you three choices."

The tall woman said, "Choose one, and consider it your reward."

Lin Qing listened attentively.

"First, is the refining method for a Life Element Set of Chaos Divine Artifact, which is well-suited for World God-type Divine Skills."

The tall woman said, "If you have a Chaos Colored Divine State and collect enough materials, you can refine your own Lifebound Artifact. Chaos contains infinite possibilities, and given enough materials, it can grow to a very high level."

"Second, is my secret technique 'Three Thousand Purgatories' for tempering Spiritual Will, but you must practice it with the Cosmic Treasure 'Heart Realm Source.' Since you found a second-rate successor, the Heart Realm Source can be lent to you for ten thousand years."

"However, this secret technique is quite perilous—failure can affect the mind and consciousness, even leading to self-loss."

"Each failure requires spending a long time to readjust your Inner Spirit, but ultimately, how much your Spiritual Will grows is uncertain, as Spiritual Will... is inherently the most elusive and hard to grasp."

The tall woman said slowly, "As for the third, it's my self-created supreme secret technique 'Fei Yuan,' far surpassing those of the Celestial Vault Islands, refining the Cosmic Origin within oneself for transforming the body and soul, greatly beneficial to both cultivation and combat, also containing a will attack secret technique, which is still useful even after transcending the universe."

She looked at Lin Qing, "Though you have not refined the bloodline of the Fei Yuan lineage, with the Void Divine Race bloodline, it's barely enough to cultivate."

"Still useful after transcending the universe?" Lin Qing listened in quiet astonishment.

Divine Skills belong to techniques of energy, while Bloodline Gene Index is the foundation.

As for secret techniques, many essentially belong to 'external forces,' which can bring astonishing combat power, initially even stronger than Perfect Level Combined Divine Skills, but often have a limit.

For instance, among the powerful secret techniques Lin Qing knows, there is one that can refine constant stars, making them part of the body; as the number of constant stars increases, the power also grows.

Theoretically, even the most ordinary Void Creature, who hasn't created a Divine Skill, if they can fully master this secret technique, can reach the peak of Star Abyss Thirteen Layers.

But that is the limit of this secret technique. No matter how many constant stars are refined, depending on the secret technique to barely restrain strong beings at the peak of Star Abyss Thirteen Layers, it ends there.

For higher level beings, constant stars and Little Mars make no difference, rendering the numbers meaningless.

This is still a highly well-known and powerful secret technique, considered a high-level void secret technique.

There are many secret techniques in the Void Sea that are similar.

While they can make one strong, due to relying on external forces, the limit remains just that high.

True exceptional powerhouses surely rely mainly on their own foundation, Divine Skills, and Divine Artifacts—this is the path with the highest limit, whereas the path of secret techniques does not hold as much standing.

Yet it cannot be denied the potency and swift nature of the path of secret techniques.

And the Fei Yuan City Lord's secret technique is actually useful to beings even after transcending the universe?

Transcending the universe.

Equal to the level of the Three Great Holy Land Ancestors!

Hence, it's clear that this secret technique is incredibly powerful.

"It's just..."

Recalling the first two choices, Lin Qing couldn't help but hesitate.

"Well? Which one will you choose?" The Fei Yuan City Lord asked softly.
