Chapter 964: Flame and Darkness
After briefly introducing Zhao Mu to the three core members of the support group, Xingchan led Zhao Mu to the deeper level of the fortress.
Zhao Mu was full of curiosity, but Xingchan did not explain too much and just let Zhao Mu follow.
Zhao Mu probably guessed that what he would face next might be the core of the support group.
After passing through many levels and barriers, Zhao Mu finally came to the deepest part of the fortress.
This was a room full of inert gas. The area was not very large and it was foggy. One could only vaguely see a huge object similar to an alchemy furnace placed in the center of the room, and from time to time a black mist would erupt from it.
"What is this?"
Zhao Mu frowned slightly. He felt a strange breath of life in the furnace. It was very fragile, but it gave him an indescribable sense of oppression, which was the sense of oppression from the origin of life.
Zhao Mu's origin of life was strong enough to make him feel oppressed, which showed how complicated the life form in the furnace was.
"This is the Hun Tian Creation Furnace. It was originally a primordial secret treasure used to refine elixirs in ancient times. It was later transformed many times by Master Wang Siheng and finally transformed into a special culture vessel. The oldest star beast, called [Xingyuan Bug], is cultivated in it."
"This bug... should be very unusual."
Xing Chan nodded: "Xingyuan Bug is a primitive life that was born out of thin air in the chaotic vacuum at the beginning of the universe. You can regard it as the common ancestor of all life in our universe. Whether it is the immortals, demons, gods, or humans, they are all branches that evolved from the bloodline of Xingyuan Bug."
"It turns out to be the ancestor. I am sorry for my disrespect." Zhao Mu bowed deeply.
Xingchan said: "In fact, the Star Source Bug existed for a very short time, only a few million years, and then it was completely extinct."
"What's in it?"
"We artificially cultivated it through the secret method of reversion to the ancestors, integrating the blood essence of various races."
"In order to cultivate this Star Source Bug, the support club paid a huge price and experienced tens of thousands of failures before finally getting this successful individual."
Xingchan said this, walked forward, waved her hand, dispersed the surrounding mist, and at the same time opened a corner of the Hun Tian Creation Furnace.
Zhao Mu clearly saw a small black bug, squirming here in the furnace, bumping around, and some black substances were secreted from it from time to time, but they were quickly purified by the furnace.
Zhao Mu asked: "Then why does the support club spend so much money to cultivate the Star Source Worm?"
Xing Chan stared at the Star Source Worm in the furnace, and said with hope: "In addition to having the oldest blood and genes, the Star Source Worm has a very special ability. When it grows into an adult, if it absorbs the blood gene from the outside world, it can perfectly copy this blood gene."
Copy the blood?
Zhao Mu's face moved, and he roughly understood the plan of the support club.
They want to use the Star Source Worm to revive a powerful person who has passed away.
"You want to revive Su Muzhe?" Zhao Mu thought about it, and only using the Star Source Worm to revive a fifth-order strongman like Su Muzhe is the most cost-effective.
Xing Chan smiled: "At first we planned to do so, but later, Yan Mingliu recommended us a more suitable candidate."
"Stronger than the fifth-order Su Muzhe?" Zhao Mu became a little curious.
"According to Yan Mingliu's original words, he was a strong man who transcended all the common sense, rules and order of the world. He was born much earlier than the history of the Immortal Alliance. His strength even exceeded the scope that the universe could accommodate. In the end, he was rejected by the will of the universe because he was too powerful. After a special dimensional ascension, he was sent outside the universe."
There are such warriors in the world?
"How did Yan Mingliu know about such a long-ago thing? Even if what she said was true, since the strong man had left this universe for so long, where could he get his blood gene?"
"Because he is my father."
Suddenly, a cold voice came into Zhao Mu's ears.
Yan Mingliu walked over gracefully with a pair of deadly long legs.
Zhao Mu moved his eyes away from Yan Mingliu's legs with difficulty, and continued to ask calmly: "How to prove it?"
Without Yan Mingliu speaking, Xingchan helped her explain: "We have conducted deep sequencing of Miss Yan Mingliu's bloodline genes, which can prove that Yan Mingliu's bloodline does not belong to any ethnic group in the Immortal Alliance era, and it comes from at least 10 billion years ago."
Yan Mingliu said: "My father was expelled by the will of the universe, but he was unwilling to accept it. He condensed his blood into nine embryos and scattered them to the human world. I am one of the nine embryos and the only embryo that was successfully hatched."
Is it so mysterious?
"So, we are going to use the Star Source Bug to absorb your bloodline genes and resurrect your father?"
"It's not really a resurrection, but just using my father's bloodline genes to cultivate an individual life as powerful as my father. Even if it's not a perfect copy, as long as it can copy half of my father's bloodline power, it will be enough to compete with the Great Sun God."
Xing Chan sighed softly: "It's a pity that after such a long time of hard work, we have only successfully cultivated one Star Source Bug. If we can cultivate more Star Source Bugs, then we don't have to worry so much."
Zhao Mu looked at the black bugs in the furnace, and his eyes became playful.
How can one of such a good thing be enough?
I must give him a 10,000-fold return.
But now is not the right time, we have to wait until the Star Source Bug is about to enter the mature stage.
"Master, how long will it take for the Star Source Bug to enter adulthood?"
"According to the current cultivation progress, it will probably take three years."
"Can you notify your disciple when the time comes? I'm curious about how this Star Source Bug replicates its bloodline genes."
"Of course."
Xingchan said again: "I still have some things to deal with. You can talk to Miss Yan Mingliu first."
"Okay, Master, take care."
After watching Xingchan leave, Zhao Mu looked at Yan Mingliu curiously: "Senior, when we first met, I saw that you seemed to have something to say to me."
Yan Mingliu was silent for a moment and said: "I'm just a little curious about how you convinced the Lonely Moon Fairy. Others may not know it, but I know that the Lonely Moon Fairy is not a soul from this world. She is not the same kind of person as us. Ordinary words can't impress her at all."
Zhao Mu was a little surprised. This Yan Mingliu is indeed not an ordinary person. She can even see that Yue Meng is not a soul from this world.
So did she also see that her soul does not belong to this world?
"Do you know Lonely Moon Fairy well?" Zhao Mu asked.
Yan Mingluo said: "Not very well, but I did live in the Hidden Moon Temple for a period of time many years ago. Lonely Moon Fairy is very powerful. She saw the specialness of my blood and soul at a glance and had some exchanges with me. It was during that exchange that I guessed that Lonely Moon Fairy might not be from this world."
Zhao Mu suddenly walked forward, patted Yan Mingluo on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't think too much. Being too curious is not a good thing."
