Chapter 449: Hundreds of Millions of Years of Cultivation (Part 1)

Xiao Yu looked at the Black Patterned Stone Pillar ahead, constantly comparing it with the coordinates in his mind, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.

"To reach the Black Patterned Stone Pillar, my will must be at least at the eternal True God Level; I'm still far off," Xiao Yu sighed.

His primary goal this time was to obtain the treasure, secondarily to use the local time flow rate for cultivation, and lastly to temper his will.

Since the main goal could not be achieved now, Xiao Yu thought of completing the secondary goal first.

He then rode the Cold Cliff Fortress backward a bit, retreating to the region with a 250,000‑fold time flow rate.

The consciousness shock here still has a tempering effect, but it will no longer affect Xiao Yu's cultivation.

Xiao Yu finally parked the Cold Cliff Fortress atop a huge rock.

He then sat cross‑legged inside the fortress and began cultivating.

The Human True Body gathered half of its soul sensitivity and started cultivating.

Xiao Yu's Soul Consciousness, like a Smart Light Brain, processed various problems in parallel zones.

Simultaneously, various cultivations began.

Including the self‑created Creation Secret Technique upgrade, comprehending the Chaos Law, and studying the Divine Body Life Gene Atlas to raise his divine power tier.

Whenever Xiao Yu made a breakthrough, Divine Avatars within the Divine Kingdom would conduct experiments.

Cultivating here, for each year that passes outside, Xiao Yu cultivates 250,000 years.

In the first year, after 250,000 years of dedicated research and a ten‑thousand‑fold analysis speed, Xiao Yu elevated the seven basic moves of the Creation Secret Technique to a sixth‑tier secret technique.

……

In the second year, after analyzing the life gene maps of tens of millions of Divine Bodies, synthesizing the special type of his own Human life gene, and combining his cultivation of the Primordial Soul Secret Method,

within the World Ring, beside the massive branches of the World Tree, ten of Xiao Yu's Divine Avatars conducted over ten trillion experiments.

The divine‑power gene tier kept rising: 12,000‑fold… 12,561‑fold… 13,500‑fold…

When this second 250,000‑year period ended, the divine‑power gene tier of Xiao Yu's Human True Body was successfully raised to 18,000‑fold.

……

In the fifth year, Xiao Yu's divine‑power gene tier reached 29,999‑fold, just one short of the first tier of divine power.

Yet even after a hundred thousand years of experiments, no further progress could be made.

……

In the tenth year, Xiao Yu's research on his self‑created technique bore fruit; the first move "Open Heaven" of the Creation Secret Technique became a seventh‑tier secret technique, its might astonishing.

……

In the fifteenth year, all seven ultimate moves of the Creation Secret Technique were promoted to seventh‑tier secret techniques.

Xiao Yu then continued his research.

……

In the twentieth year, after endless experiments, Xiao Yu found that the vast majority of the fusion techniques within the Creation Secret Technique were absurdly unreasonable and could no longer be strengthened; only "Annihilation", "Divine Fall", and "Distant Moon" could still be upgraded.

Xiao Yu decided to restructure the Creation Secret Technique into ten secret techniques.

He has already raised all ten moves to the pinnacle of the seventh‑tier level.

……

In the forty‑fifth year, after ten million years of study, he examined the divine‑power structures of nearly ten billion True Gods, conducting tens of trillions of experiments.

Finally, that year, inspiration struck from the life gene of an energy‑life abyss demon dragon; by merging it with his own divine‑power gene, he derived tens of millions of structures.

Within the World Ring, Divine Avatars continuously experiment with all possible combinations.

"Failure!"

"Re‑assembly failure!"

Each failure is an experience.

Every failure grants Xiao Yu a new realm; as the experiments proceed, his insight into the Way of Life clearly surpasses countless destructions.

When more than half of this forty‑fifth 250,000‑year span had passed,

"Boom!"

Xiao Yu felt his Divine Avatar gene suddenly break through into the 30,000‑fold gene stage.

When Xiao Yu's Human True Body also formed a Divine Body according to this gene architecture,

"Boom!"

The towering Xiao Yu's body generated a massive suction.

His life gene broke through to 30,001‑fold.

"The Divine Body is starving." With a flick of thought, endless divine power streamed from countless World Rings.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

The height of Xiao Yu's Divine Body suddenly surged tenfold, reaching one million kilometers.

The amount of divine power contained within the Divine Body exploded a thousandfold.

"Haha, it's finally become." Xiao Yu rejoiced inside the Cold Cliff Fortress.

He then immediately fell back into cultivation.

……

In the hundredth year, Xiao Yu had cultivated for 25 million years in this Black Patterned Stone Pillar region.

He studied hundreds of billions of Divine Body life gene maps, and Divine Avatars performed innumerable trials.

From each failure he summarized experience and absorbed nourishment.

His comprehension of the Way of Life advanced further; the Divine Body life gene tier first leapt from 30,000‑fold to 39,000‑fold, then continued breaking through until reaching 46,000‑fold.

……

In the one‑hundred‑sixtieth year, after spending 35 million years, Xiao Yu comprehended the Cosmic Vessel secret pattern, combined with his understanding of the Chaos Law, and finally elevated the first move "Open Heaven" of the Creation Secret Technique to the eighth‑tier level.

Xiao Yu, with the realm of Lord of the Universe, without relying on the might of the Ultimate Treasure, formally possessed eighth‑stage combat power.

Even among the Strongest Beings, he also belonged to the top.

……

In the 180th year, he continually contemplated the Life Structure Diagram.

Xiao Yu fused the Secret Pattern Diagram into his own life structure, letting divine power condense into tiny secret patterns, undergoing countless experiments.

Xiao Yu successfully used divine power and secret patterns within the World Ring to create a secret‑pattern life.

These lives, as soon as they were created, possessed great strength, reaching the Realm Lord level.

However, these lives temporarily had only simple instincts: eating and immortality.

Although this secret‑pattern life lacked wisdom, Xiao Yu thereby gained a deeper insight into life, and the life‑gene level of his divine body advanced all at once to 59999 times.

……

In the 200th year, after as long as 50 million years of continuous research and comprehension.

Xiao Yu had completely mastered the fusion of any two of the Ten Fundamental Laws; all such fusions had reached perfection.

……

In the 260th year, after Open Heaven was upgraded to an eighth‑stage secret art, following 25 million years of continual study and practice, there were countless trials.

Failure after failure, he continually summed up experience from the failures.

Finally, he raised all ten moves of the Creation Secret Technique to eighth‑stage secret patterns.

……

In the 500th year, after as long as 75 million years of continuous research and experimentation, and after comprehending the secret patterns inscribed on the Black Patterned Stone Pillar.

Xiao Yu completely fused time, space, and lightning, and raised the Destruction Secret Technique to the ninth level.

Relying solely on his secret‑art level, Xiao Yu already stood at the same height as the Giant Axe Founder.

……

In the 1000th year, Xiao Yu had already been training here for 250 million years.

After countless experiments and analyses, with the aid of sensitivity exceeding ten thousandfold, Xiao Yu had comprehended all ten fundamental origins, and the three‑three fusion had been fully mastered.

At the same time, Xiao Yu had also raised all ten moves of his self‑created Creation Secret Technique to the ninth‑stage top level.

Henceforth, even without relying on the Igniting God Pearl and the Source God Blade, Xiao Yu's strength already stood at the pinnacle of the entire universe. (End of chapter)
