Chapter 148: Hun Dun Chengzhu's Instructions

As the overall head of the intelligence department within the Hong Alliance and a Universe Overlord within the Virtual Universe Company, Yin Ying Junzhu naturally possesses extremely high-level permissions in the Virtual Universe.

Among the Human Race, aside from the Great Axe Founder and the many Universe Masters, even the other three top-tier Universe Overlords likely possess permissions in the Virtual Universe that cannot compare to Yin Ying Junzhu's.

Therefore, the moment Yin Ying Junzhu retrieved data regarding Lu Qingshan from the Virtual Universe, the Virtual Universe system displayed everything found about Lu Qingshan right before his eyes.

Among this information concerning Lu Qingshan, the earlier experiences were quite normal, even more so than many people within the Human Race!

Just like the geniuses in the Primordial Secret Realm, many broke through to the Decay Realm while exploring outside at the Domain Master level; if they were at the Hei Fengwang level, it would be one thing, but if they reached the Hei Fengwang level, they would need to undergo a serious re-examination.

For instance, checking whether they had been possessed by others or whether their souls had been enslaved.

Although the Virtual Universe spans the entire cosmos and can monitor most situations, there are still some special lifeforms in the universe capable of evading Virtual Universe detection; furthermore, the powerful ones of the Human Race do not keep their Virtual Universe synchronization transmission active at all times.

Throughout the long history of the Human Race, there have indeed been instances of Hei Fengwang Immortals who were possessed or enslaved, and their betrayals brought great losses to the Human Race.

Among the native members of the four peak races, the Mechanical Race is the most united, making traitors basically impossible; after all, the Mechanical Race has no souls and possesses a master-recognition mode, so traitors are naturally very difficult to appear.

The Insect Race, due to its strength in the soul, has a higher possibility of being possessed or enslaved than the Human Race and the Meng Yao Zu.

And with the Virtual Universe, the Human Race can gain some advantages in investigating spies during normal times, making the possibility of traitors appearing among the high ranks relatively small.

Only the Meng Yao Zu!

Whether it is Hei Fengwang Immortals, Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, or even Universe Masters, the Meng Yao Zu has the most among the four peak races, but because the Meng Yao Zu's communication methods are backward, the number of powerful ones in their clan who are possessed or even enslaved is the highest among the four peak races!

Lu Qingshan broke through to the Decay Realm immediately after leaving the Initial Universe, and with his extremely powerful will, the possibility of being possessed or enslaved has basically been ruled out.

So Yin Ying Junzhu thought this review would be simple, but he did not expect...

"Ran Ling Hou? Blood Sword Hou?"

Looking at the stream of messages from the Outer Battlefield army system appearing on the virtual screen, a rare trace of surprise appeared on Yin Ying Junzhu's face.

"This little fellow has quite a few aliases; he is indeed a cautious person!"

Looking at the many messages before him, Yin Ying Junzhu thought silently: "However, the strength he displayed on the Outer Battlefield was very strong, and he burned his Immortal Divine Power so crazily to fight; if he relied solely on the gains from the Outer Battlefield to restore his Divine Body, he might even be running a deficit, so this little fellow must possess a clone with a relatively large Divine Body!"

"But what about the clone working in the transportation department?"

Thinking of this, a trace of confusion flashed across Yin Ying Junzhu's face: "Judging by his performance, he shouldn't be a secret technique clone either; could it be that he possesses two human clones?"

It must be known that clone techniques in the universe are mostly divided into two types!

The first type is roughly similar to Divine Power clones split from the Divine Body; any powerful one capable of breaking through to become an Immortal Spirit can mostly master this method, though the strength of the resulting clones will vary.

Under normal circumstances, after splitting a Divine Power clone, whether it is the original body or the Divine Power clone, the strength will be greatly weakened!

However, some powerful ones specialize in creating secret techniques adept at splitting the Divine Body; for example, 'Chaos Stele Guardian' Elder Kandeli, whose created clone secret technique is very famous throughout the entire Human Race, capable of splitting a clone possessing sixty percent of the original body's strength, and even if the clone perishes, it has no impact on himself!

Of course, in battles between powerful ones, even a ten percent reduction in strength can affect the outcome!

Just like Elder Kandeli; his original body possesses strength at the Universe Overlord level, but the foundation of his split clone is weak, and he dares not carry precious treasures, so his combat power is only equivalent to that of an ordinary High-level Zifeng Zunzhe!

Fortunately, the strength of a High-level Zifeng Zunzhe is considered quite good in the universe, and Elder Kandeli accumulated quite a bit of wealth through this!

The second type of clone technique is the innate clone secret techniques possessed by some relatively special races and lifeforms in the universe.

The biggest difference between innate clone secret techniques and Divine Power clones is that clones born from innate secret techniques are completely independent individuals, and can even be other lifeforms of different races, with no reduction in strength whatsoever!

Just like the Golden Horned Beast and the Qiu He Beast among the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, and some special bloodlines of the Meng Yao Zu, they all possess innate secret techniques capable of birthing clones from birth!

These special races and lifeforms that are born with innate clone secret techniques can completely use these innate secret techniques to birth one, or even several, clones with extremely high talent, thereby greatly increasing their cultivation speed and improving their survival ability.

Of course, because they possess innate clone secret techniques, these special races and lifeforms are also the best targets for possession by other lifeforms in the universe, and countless beings in the universe eye them greedily.

Just like the several races within the Meng Yao Zu that possess the ability to birth clones; none of them do not live in the Meng Yao Zu's most core territories, and they are guarded by Meng Yao Zu powerful ones!

However, there are no races within the Human Race that are born with innate clone secret techniques, so human powerful ones who possess this innate clone ability are all individuals who have obtained precious opportunities!

For instance, possessing a Golden Horned Beast or other lifeforms with innate clone secret techniques when weak, or some other fortuitous encounters, and so on...

"I did not expect such a little fellow to possess an innate clone secret technique!"

Yin Ying Junzhu could not help but sigh in his heart: "It is truly enviable!"

Yes!

As the overall head of the intelligence department within the Hong Alliance, Yin Ying Junzhu's power is not at all inferior to some Hall Masters within the Hong Alliance, yet he does not have a clone!

Even among the thousands of Universe Zifeng Zunzhe in the Human Race, most powerful ones do not have clones!

Although with their current strength, they have the opportunity to obtain some special races and lifeforms with the ability to possess innate clones, with their immense strength, it is fundamentally impossible for them to possess them!

As for obtaining special races and lifeforms with the ability to possess innate clones to provide for family descendants to possess, that is also not very realistic.

After all, even if they could obtain such special races and lifeforms, it would often cost a great price, and since these special races and lifeforms are naturally stronger than ordinary lifeforms of the same level, it is naturally extremely difficult for others to possess them.

Even if the possession is successful, breaking through to become an Immortal, or even a super powerful one, afterwards is also very difficult!

"Judging by this little fellow's performance on the Outer Battlefield and his previous experiences, the possibility of being enslaved or possessed by alien powerful ones is still very low!"

After browsing through the many messages concerning Lu Qingshan, Yin Ying Junzhu thought silently: "However, his clone method is quite strange; I should report this to Hun Dun Chengzhu!"

Thinking of this, Yin Ying Junzhu's figure instantly vanished from his temple.

Virtual Universe, Lei Ting Island peak, within a palace shrouded by endless air currents.

A faint, flickering phantom quickly appeared before the palace; it was Yin Ying Junzhu.

Seeing the palace ahead, Yin Ying Junzhu immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Yin Ying requests an audience with Hun Dun Chengzhu!"

Buzz!

The palace gates opened quickly, and Yin Ying Junzhu immediately stepped inside.

After arriving at the center of the great hall, Yin Ying Junzhu soon saw the towering figure sitting high on the Wang Zuo at the front of the hall.

It was a towering figure wearing a golden long robe, with green scales on his head, a face resembling an Earthling, and eyes that seemed to contain an endless starry sky.

This person was none other than the supreme ruler of the Human Race's Virtual Universe Company lineage, Hun Dun Chengzhu.

"What is the matter?" Hun Dun Chengzhu opened his eyes, his gaze calm, as if containing a vast starry sky within.

Yin Ying Junzhu hurriedly replied respectfully: "Hun Dun Chengzhu, a new Hei Fengwang Immortal has just appeared in our Virtual Universe Company lineage! But when I queried his information, I discovered that he most likely possesses a clone with a massive Divine Body!"

"Clone technique?"

After hearing the words of the Shadow Monarch, the Hun Dun City Lord nodded slightly, though he did not pay it too much attention.

After all, although there were not many powerful beings with clones in the Human Race, given the foundation of the entire Human Race, there were still some.

"Since he possesses a clone, just be more thorough when investigating his background!"

The Hun Dun City Lord nodded and said, "We must never let another spy appear in our Human Race again! However, if the other party can pass the audit, we might cultivate him a bit!"

At this moment, the Shadow Monarch continued, "Reporting to the Hun Dun City Lord, this person's name is Lu Qingshan. He entered the Initial Universe to comprehend the Dao over two million years ago, and immediately after leaving the Initial Universe, he broke through to the Decay Realm!"

As he spoke, the Shadow Monarch waved his hand, and a great deal of information about Lu Qingshan instantly appeared in mid-air.

"Hmm?"

After seeing the information regarding Lu Qingshan, the Hun Dun City Lord could not help but be slightly stunned.

He knew that one of his clones had always been stationed in the Initial Universe; there, he could fully mobilize the entire power of the Initial Universe to investigate everyone's background.

With his realm, even if he had only seen Lu Qingshan once, he would certainly not forget him.

"Is that the little fellow who entered the Initial Universe together with the remnant of the native survivors of the Yan Ji Continent who attempted to possess a body?"

Various thoughts quickly flashed through the Hun Dun City Lord's mind: "However, his performance back then was very ordinary. How did he suddenly become a Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm and even possess a clone?"

"However, every experience of this little fellow has traces to follow; it is impossible for him to have been possessed. It seems there must be another opportunity involved!"

Thinking thus, the Hun Dun City Lord quickly ordered, "This little fellow is no problem. As for the method of creating a clone, it should be another opportunity he encountered!"

"This little fellow has a powerful will and is difficult to enslave. Possessing a clone allows him to make a comeback, so he is indeed worth cultivating well! Very well, instruct them to additionally increase his treatment and permissions within our Virtual Universe Company!"

"Yes, City Lord!" the Shadow Monarch quickly replied respectfully.

"Go!" the Hun Dun City Lord nodded and said.

Hearing these words, the Shadow Monarch quickly bowed slightly and said, "Then this subordinate takes his leave!"

On the other side, Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang's master-disciple group were still drinking wine together in Lei Huanwang's residence.

"Little Junior Brother!"

While raising his wine glass to invite Lu Qingshan to drink, Ji Dianwang said with a smile, "Wait until you are invited to join the Hong Alliance in a while, and you will know; the powerful beings in this vast universe are truly countless!"

"Like the entire Human Race, the Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm still alive today add up to only about ninety thousand, yet within the Hong Alliance, there are nearly three million Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm!"

"Yes, Little Junior Brother!"

Tongye Wang, sitting nearby, also said with a smile, "After joining the Hong Alliance, you will know just how vast this universe is! But you need not be nervous; the entire Hong Alliance is dominated by our Human Race. Although there are many Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm from other races, when they encounter powerful beings of our Human Race, they always give some face!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother and Senior Sister, for your guidance!" Lu Qingshan also raised his cup and thanked them.

But just at this moment, the expression of Lei Huanwang on the main seat was slightly stunned.

"A message from the Teacher?"

With a thought, Lei Huanwang instantly had a virtual screen appear before him.

However, since this message was sent to him by Venerable Yao Guang, its confidentiality level within the Virtual Universe was very high; even though Lu Qingshan and the others were all Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm, they could not see the content of the message on the screen.

"The Teacher wants me to take Lu Qingshan to see him?"

After reading the content of the message, a look of surprise quickly appeared on Lei Huanwang's face.

He knew that Lu Qingshan breaking through to become a Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm was indeed a big matter for the Immortal Army Lords and Hei Feng Hou Wang of the Decay Realm in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company; even many Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm paid considerable attention to this matter.

However, for those Universe Zifeng Zunzhe, this naturally was not so important; at most, they would pay a little attention.

Among Lei Huanwang's many disciples, there were already four Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm at this time, but before this, even Ji Dianwang, who had the strongest strength and highest talent, had first consulted his Teacher Venerable Yao Guang before taking the other party to the Teacher's residence to request an audience!

But now, Venerable Yao Guang was actively summoning Lu Qingshan?

"Lu Qingshan would actually be actively summoned by the Teacher?"

In an instant, several thoughts quickly flashed through Lei Huanwang's mind: "Could it be that the Teacher knows about my disciple's talent in creating secret techniques? But even so, is it necessary to actively summon him? Or does my disciple have some special aspects I do not understand?"

Although he did not know the reason, for Lei Huanwang, it was ultimately a good thing that Lu Qingshan could be summoned by his Teacher Venerable Yao Guang!

Thinking thus, Lei Huanwang quickly waved his hand to signal Lu Qingshan and the others to quiet down, then said with a smile, "Lei Sike, Tongye, and Qinglin, the Teacher wants to see Lu Qingshan. I will take Lu Qingshan over to see the Teacher first. If you have matters, you may leave first; if you have no matters, you may also wait here for us to return!"

"Grand-Teacher?"

After hearing Lei Huanwang's words, Ji Dianwang and the other three were all slightly stunned, and even Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

After all, Teacher Lei Huanwang had previously told him that he needed to greet Venerable Yao Guang first before taking him there, so how could Venerable Yao Guang now want to see him actively?

"Could it be that Venerable Yao Guang has learned about my adventures in the Outer Battlefield?" Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart.

Although Lu Qingshan was quite surprised in his heart, he did not have any worry.

After all, when he originally went to the Outer Battlefield, he had not intended to hide the fact that he possessed a clone from the high-level members of the Race; now that it was discovered, he even felt it was a bit late!

"If it really is like this, my permissions within the Race should be able to be increased further, right?"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "By then, whether applying for Blood Luo Crystals or wanting to obtain a quota for the Divine General inheritance, it should all be even simpler!"

At this moment, Lei Huanwang had already stood up and walked towards the outside of the residence, while saying to Lu Qingshan, "Lu Qingshan, come with me!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Lu Qingshan hurriedly stood up and followed.

Ji Dianwang, Tongye Wang, and Qinglin Wang also stood up to see them off.

After Lu Qingshan followed Lei Huanwang out of the residence, Ji Dianwang and the other three began to discuss among themselves.

"Just now, did the Teacher say the Grand-Teacher wants to see Junior Brother Lu Qingshan?"

"That's right!"

"I remember that after the three of us broke through to become Hei Fengwang of the Decay Realm, we all followed the Teacher to see the Grand-Teacher, right?"

"Yes! I remember that I followed the Teacher over more than two years after breaking through to become a Decay Realm Immortal; at that time, I had already joined the Hong Alliance!"

"When I broke through, the Grand-Teacher must have been relatively free, so I only waited for half a month or so before following the Teacher over to pay respects to the Grand-Teacher!"

"Could it be that Little Junior Brother has some special aspects?"

"Very likely! The last time I chatted idly with the Teacher, the Teacher said that Junior Brother has great talent in creating secret techniques!"

"But that still wouldn't warrant the Ancestor Master summoning you on his own initiative!"

……

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan followed Lei Huanwang out of the residence, they flew all the way toward the halfway point up the mountain.

"Disciple!"

Lei Huanwang glanced at Lu Qingshan, then asked with a smile: "Do you know why your teacher has summoned you this time?"

"This disciple isn't entirely sure either!" Lu Qingshan replied quickly.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, the matter was not yet settled, so naturally he wasn't very certain!

"That's fine!"

Lei Huanwang continued with a smile: "Once we arrive at the teacher's place, we'll find out!"

"Teacher!"

Lu Qingshan spoke again to ask: "This time, going to see the Ancestor Master, what should I watch out for?"

"Don't worry!"

Lei Huanwang quickly said with a smile: "The teacher is usually quite affable. When the time comes, you don't need to be too formal — just treat him as you would your own teacher!"

"This disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly and said.
