Cloud Palace, Sea of Clouds, Fengyou God General's Inheritance Hall.
Ye Muxuan opened his eyes on the second platform. A flash of blue light appeared, and he was teleported out.
The ten thousand years that Feng You Shen Jiang had spent cultivating in the Inheritance Hall had come to an end. Although he could continue cultivating the "Feng You Secret Manual" outside, based on the experience of those who had been conferred titles of kings and venerables in the past, he would basically remain at the same level as he had cultivated in the Inheritance Hall.
Cultivating outside is less than one ten-millionth as efficient as cultivating here; tens of thousands of years of cultivation cannot compare to a single day here.
Whether they are kings, venerables, or even the highest-ranking cosmic rulers, the reason remains unknown. Faced with this situation where progress is impossible even after billions of epochs, many kings and venerables can only seek other ways to enhance their power.
Ye Muxuan was not the only inheritor who was teleported out by the blue light. Each of the three types of divine general inheritances has thirty-two inheritance halls, and naturally there are thirty-two kings.
The vast majority of the ninety-four kings directly activated their divine kingdom teleportation and left, with only a handful remaining in the sea of clouds, their purpose unknown.
Standing on the sea of clouds, Ye Muxuan suddenly stretched out his hand, and his palm was like a world in itself. A wisp of pure white cloud fell into his palm, struggling to escape.
With a hundredfold increase in genetic power and a seventy-sevenfold increase in divine body amplification, Ye Muxuan has comprehended the three major mysteries of the two supreme laws of time and space. Ye Muxuan's true form is now stronger than ever before. Even though this wisp of cloud possesses the strength of a King-level being, it was directly suppressed by him with one hand.
Having cultivated in the Inheritance Hall for ten thousand years, he had mastered the Wind and Netherworld Secret Manual to seventy-seven times its original level. To the best of his knowledge, among all the kings who received the inheritance of the divine generals, he was at the highest level.
Or rather, among all the human kings currently in power, none have been able to cultivate the Amplification Technique to more than fifty times its original power, and even among the Venerables, there are very few who have reached fifty times. As for someone like himself who has exceeded seventy times, to his knowledge, he is the only one.
Of course, those who cultivate other amplification techniques to reach a hundredfold are another story; it's estimated that there are probably some among those cosmic overlords, but other venerable ones are somewhat lacking.
"Interesting." Ye Muxuan gazed at the pure white cloud-like threads in his palm, as if in a dream, as if in an illusion.
With a clenched fist, it was as if a pillar of heaven had collapsed, and blue-purple lightning exploded in the palm, the resulting hurricane sweeping across the world within.
A wisp of cloud, speckled with gray, drifted out from the world in my palm and merged into the surrounding sea of clouds, disappearing without a trace.
A pure white crystal the size of a grain of rice remained in Ye Muxuan's palm.
Ten thousand years ago, when Ye Muxuan first came here, he crushed a wisp of cloud thread at the Marquis level, leaving behind a pure white crystal the size of a sesame seed.
The King who had once entered the Inheritance Hall had also noticed whether the crystals produced by the Cloud Silk had any effect, perhaps related to the secret techniques of the Divine General's inheritance. However, it was useless; whether brought into the Inheritance Hall to assist cultivation or used for cultivation outside the Inheritance Hall, there was no effect. They even consulted a hegemon-level alchemist from the Hong Alliance, who finally concluded that the Divine General's inheritance had nothing to do with the Cloud Silk.
The inheritance of the gods is another matter, but cloud silk is a special existence without consciousness or soul, born under the special environment and special rules of the secret realm.
Ye Muxuan put away the rice-grain-sized crystal in his palm. So many powerful figures couldn't figure out what it was, how could he possibly know the answer just by looking at it? He stayed only out of curiosity, then immediately activated the Divine Kingdom Teleportation and left the Divine Origin Secret Realm.
……
On the original star numbered 00001, under the gaze of dozens of alien venerables, four Hongmeng venerables, and one cosmic overlord, the avatar of the Thousand Stars stored a winged treasure into his world ring.
On the Xuanhuang Domain, as Shanyue looked at these Venerables and Overlords, just as he was about to fly away, a golden-horned behemoth with a divine body exceeding several thousand kilometers in length suddenly spoke, its divine power transmitting directly into the Xuanhuang Domain: "Shanyue, the Golden Horned Lord of my clan is willing to trade this Winged Treasure with you in exchange for a high-grade treasure."
Just as he was about to leave, the clone of the Jade Emperor was taken aback. The winged treasure he had just obtained was only an ordinary treasure, and a wind-attribute one at that. Although it was just an ordinary treasure, it would still be quite helpful to his main body. Could it be that he was so lucky that it was the final piece of the Golden Horn Lord's Sky-Patrolling Wings?
The Sky-Patrolling Wings, which appeared more than 100,000 years ago, are a top-tier treasure. Besides the main body, which is in the possession of the Golden Horn Lord, there are eight other parts. Among them, the wings of the five spatial attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are all high-grade treasures, while the wings of the three temporal attributes—wind, lightning, and light—are ordinary treasures. Only the Sky-Patrolling Wings in their complete state are the finest among top-tier treasures, possessing power comparable to ordinary peak-level treasures in the hands of the Golden Horn Lord.
However, even after more than 100,000 years, there is still no news of the Golden Horn Lord collecting complete information. Of the seven wing components that have emerged, five are confirmed to be in the Golden Horn Lord's possession. The remaining two are in the hands of the White Elephant Venerable of the Demon Clan and the Blood Dance Venerable of the Prison Clan. The former is unlikely to be negotiated due to the relationship between the Starry Sky Beast and the Demon Clan, while the latter belongs to a top-tier cosmic overlord of the Prison Clan; even if an agreement could be reached, the Golden Horn Lord would likely have to pay a price.
As for the last component, there is still no news. It is unknown whether it has not been produced, whether it has been produced and collected by a powerful person and is waiting to be sold, or whether the Golden Horn Lord simply does not want to be able to collect it.
The power of this set of treasures is weakened if any one piece is missing. Although the Starry Sky Beast Alliance holds a superior position, not everyone is willing to let him collect this complete top-tier treasure.
"My wing treasure is indeed a wind-attribute treasure, but it's still uncertain whether it's a part of the Golden Horn Lord's wings. Even if it is, it should be the Golden Horn Lord who discusses it, not you." The avatar of the Jade Beast glanced at the Golden Horned Beast Venerable, entered the vortex of colorful light, and left the Primordial Star.
The Golden Horned Beast possesses a massive divine body and a high genetic diversity. Coupled with the nurturing of its race, it could easily become a high-level Venerable or even a cosmic overlord. However, this particular Golden Horned Beast is only a mid-level Venerable. It only dared to venture into the Primordial Star because it had four divine bodies that would prevent it from easily perishing, and it also had to team up with the Hill and Valley Beast and the Destroying Sovereign Beast.
Soon, news that the Jade Emperor had obtained the last suspected component of the Sky-Patrolling Wings spread among the various factions. However, apart from the Golden Horn Lord, no one took this news seriously; it was merely mentioned casually. After all, over the past hundred thousand years, news had occasionally surfaced about who had obtained a wing treasure, a component of the Sky-Patrolling Wings. Especially after the ownership of other wing treasures was clearly established, any wind-attribute wing treasures that appeared were circulated with great detail and conviction.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, more than a dozen wind-attribute wing treasures have been considered to be parts of the Skyward Wings.
