Chapter 262 Choosing a Clone
Seeing that Chen Yuan chose the mysterious sword blank without hesitation, Lord Youhou also revealed a smile, but still said, "Won't you reconsider? This sword blank is only good in terms of material, but its functionality is still lacking."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw his junior brother grab the sword blank and put it away. Then he turned around and smiled, "No need, senior brother. I think this sword blank is perfect for me."
"Haha, junior brother, you really didn't disappoint your teacher."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan slightly realized that the sword embryo was related to his teacher.
Youhou smiled and revealed the truth: "This sword blank—actually, my teacher brought it from the cosmic sea, and placed it here specifically for you to choose from."
"Although it is only a semi-finished product, according to the teacher's judgment, if it is handed over to a powerful treasure refiner to perfect it, this sword embryo has a high probability of becoming a top-level treasure."
"Whether it can become a supreme treasure depends on the skill of the treasure refiner."
"I see." Chen Yuan said with sudden realization, "I was wondering why the materials of this sword blank were so extraordinary. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be among the ordinary treasures. It turns out it's because of you, teacher."
However... Chen Yuan thought to himself, it seems that even his teacher failed to discover the true quality of this sword embryo.
That's true, after all, the sword blank looks too ordinary. If he hadn't discovered the clue from the time it took the system to collect information,
Otherwise, one might not necessarily associate it with the embryonic form.
"Since you are learning the art of refining treasures from a mysterious treasure-refining master, then this sword blank is perfect for you."
Lord Youhou smiled slightly: "My teacher hopes that after Junior Brother masters the art of treasure refining, he can perfect this sword embryo into a true treasure."
"I understand." Chen Yuan nodded, still feeling happy.
Although the speculation that this sword blank is a primordial blank remains in doubt, the quality of the material that the system cannot analyze at all must be far beyond the level of the cosmic sea.
According to Chen Yuan's estimation, if the system can analyze the data of this sword embryo, then his future main weapon can be optimized all the way up to the level of Eternal True God.
As for the other treasures, they may not be a perfect match due to the compatibility of the materials, but they are certainly capable of surpassing the true gods.
Moreover, this is based on the assumption that the sword embryo is not a primordial embryo. If it really is a primordial embryo, then he won't have to worry about his main weapon until he becomes a God-King.
Of course, if you want to continue optimizing the Azure Sky Sword, materials alone are not enough; you also need the corresponding runes to continue improving it.
However, Chen Yuan's time over the past three months has not been wasted. By collecting information on 16480 treasures, he has basically overcome any difficulties at the level of treasures.
This means that as long as his primordial energy is sufficient, the treasures he possesses can basically reach the level of peak treasures.
However, even the most powerful treasures are not enough.
Because this level is essentially a true god-level treasure, belonging to the tenth tier in the system's evaluation standards, it cannot be optimized out yet.
But Chen Yuan was already quite satisfied. After all, he was only a Realm Lord at the moment. What Realm Lord could possess a body full of supreme treasures? Let alone a body full of peak supreme treasures.
"The only problem now is that the source energy is insufficient."
Chen Yuan looked at the remaining 20 billion units of primordial energy and felt somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected that while the material problem had been solved, energy had become a new problem.
This amount of primordial energy can only optimize the Primordial Palace to a peak-level treasure; it won't work for other items because their grade is too low.
"There's no other way. After things are settled here, we'll continue hunting the alien races, or perhaps—"
Chen Yuan glanced at the panel and saw that the progress of the [Fetal Breathing Method] had reached the proficiency level of 95.8%, and he was not far from breaking through to the next stage.
Currently, relying on the Holy Embryo Breathing method, he accumulates 4200 units of primordial energy per day, which is indeed a drop in the bucket compared to his consumption.
However, if the effect of absorbing the source is increased tenfold after advancing to the third stage of the Holy Embryo, then the source energy obtained every day will be considerable.
On the other side, Lord Youhou, seeing that Chen Yuan had already chosen his treasure but still had five thousand treasure points left, couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother, aren't you going to choose another treasure?"
"You should have enough treasure points to choose a decent weapon."
Hearing Lord Youhou's words, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "No need, Senior Brother, my weapons are sufficient for now."
"I have some other ideas about these key locations."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan raised his hand and tapped lightly, closing the "Treasures" category on the virtual screen and instead opening the "Special Resources" category.
This category of treasures is incredibly diverse; basically, anything that isn't a supreme treasure, a major treasure, or a special material is included in this category, making it the most numerous.
Chen Yuan also discovered an "Immortal-level Zerg Mother Nest" inside, worth between 800 and 1000 Treasure Points.
Of course, the most numerous among them are special life forms at the realm lord level that can be possessed, which is also Chen Yuan's target this time.
However, after checking the details one by one, Chen Yuan was quickly disappointed.
Because the special life forms here are not very powerful, mostly less than a thousand times stronger than humans, and their talents and secret techniques are unsatisfactory, so none of them are appealing.
"Senior brother," Chen Yuan suddenly asked, "Aren't there any of these special life forms that are a bit stronger, like those with a genetic level thousands of times greater?"
"Of course it exists." Lord Youhou nodded. "But special life forms with genetic levels thousands of times higher are too expensive, far exceeding Junior Brother's ability limits, so they didn't show up."
At this point, Youhou asked with a strange expression, "I've noticed that Junior Brother has been searching for special life forms. Do you want to possess one or enslave it?"
"Neither," Chen Yuan shook his head and said truthfully, "I did it to create a clone."
"A clone?!"
Youhou was immediately surprised, "Junior Brother has acquired the ability to create clones?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded. "I was quite lucky and obtained a rare item that can grant me a top-tier clone technique."
He sighed, "Unfortunately—it seems there aren't any suitable clones to use here."
Upon hearing this, Youhou's expression turned strange. He glanced at him and said, "Junior Brother's luck is truly heaven-defying. However, if you're looking for materials to create a clone, you've come in the wrong direction."
Wrong direction? Chen Yuan was pleased when he heard the other party continue, "So what you need is not a living special life, but just a little bit of the remains of a special life."
Chen Yuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought: "Could it be—"
Sure enough, Lord Youhou closed the list of special resources and opened the list of materials - special life remains.
The next second, the list appeared with dense descriptions, all of which were information about various powerful special life forms.
"These remains are basically from special life forms with more than a thousand times the genetic makeup."
Lord Youhou said, "And they are all at the Realm Lord level, Junior Brother, choose carefully."
"Or, junior brother, do you have any specific requirements that I can help you look for?"
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, I want to choose a special life form with genes that are more than five thousand times stronger, and its innate secret techniques must also be powerful enough."
"Five thousand times?!" Youhou exclaimed in surprise again. "You can actually create such a powerful clone?"
Chen Yuan smiled without saying a word. His original core had been optimized many times and had reached its limit, capable of nurturing clones with no more than a thousand times the number of his own genes.
His genetic level is 60 times higher, which means he can basically choose any special life form at the realm lord level.
If he could, he would even like to choose a special life form with perfect genes, but such a life form does not exist in reality.
There are basically only eight Beast Gods with perfect genes from birth. Let alone whether there are other special life forms, even if there are, they could not possibly be only at the World Lord level.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's requirements were not high; as long as it exceeded five thousand times, it would be fine. It would be best if it were made of flesh and blood, but it didn't matter if it wasn't.
He didn't even have any requirements regarding the size of his clones, since he would have Blood Sea clones in the future and wouldn't lack divine power.
"If possible, I would like a special life form with perfect spatial abilities."
Chen Yuan said, "After all, it's still uncertain whether the path to becoming a Beast God is viable. Moreover, even if one becomes the master of the universe by relying on the fusion of laws, one will still need to comprehend spacetime in the future."
"What you say makes sense." Lord Youhou nodded and pondered, "More than five thousand times the genetic potential, spatial affinity with life, and powerful innate secret techniques."
With a wave of his hand, 99.99% of the options on the screen disappeared, leaving only a few remaining.
"Junior brother, take a look. These should all meet your requirements."
Chen Yuan looked over and saw that the first name on the list was a life he was familiar with.
[World Lord-level World Tree: A special plant-based life form with a genetic level five thousand times higher, top-tier spacetime talent, and the secret technique "Control of Spacetime".]
Price: 88 Treasure Points
"It looks pretty good, but it's a pity it can't cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual. It's inferior to the Blood Sea Avatar with perfect genes, and its functions overlap. After skipping the World Tree, Chen Yuan's gaze moved down to the other options.
Cold Whale: A special energy-type life form with 6,800 times the genetic potential, top-tier talents in water and space, and the secret technique "Ice Soul Cold Light".
Tuoshan Zhen: A special life form of rock type, with 6,900 times the genetic potential, top-tier talents in earth and space, and the secret technique "Kunshan Domain".
"The Frost Whale is not bad, but unfortunately the secret technique is purely offensive and basically useless in the later stages. The same goes for Camel Mountain Tremor; the secret technique level is too low."
Chen Yuan shook his head and continued looking. He found that these clones were all passable, generally not bad, but none of them particularly satisfied him.
Until he saw the last target,
[Soul-Devouring Beast: A special energy-type life form, 300 times stronger than its base life level, possessing top-tier spatial talent and the innate secret techniques 'Devour,' 'Spatial Domain,' and 'Formless.']
[Price: 3800 Treasure Points]
"An energy life form, and only 300 times more advanced at the genetic level?"
Chen Yuanyi was puzzled, not understanding why this special life form was on the list, as it completely failed to meet the condition of "more than five thousand times the genetic diversity".
Moreover, it's the most expensive of all the options.
"Such an unusual occurrence, could it be that his innate secret technique is extraordinary?"
Chen Yuan clicked on the introduction to the Soul Devouring Domain Beast's innate secret technique, and saw that it displayed:
[Devour: By devouring various special life forms, genetic information can be absorbed to improve one's own genetic level, up to which perfect genes can be achieved.]
[Spatial Domain: Expands into a spatial domain, merging with space itself. Within the domain's boundaries, control over spatial laws reaches its peak, allowing for unconditional teleportation, sealing, and strangulation. The spatial domain's extent is related to one's genetic level.]
【Formless: Possesses the ability to transform, with the effect of the transformation increasing with its own genetic level, and at its highest level, it can even simulate the genetic level of the target】
"This, this..."
Chen Yuan's eyes widened. "Infinite evolution? Although the upper limit is only ten thousand times the genetic potential, it's already invincible in the primordial universe!"
"Moreover, this evolutionary ability is like—a degraded version of a World Beast!"
