Space Fold.
Banff Master's massive hundred-kilometer body stood amidst the endless torrent of space fragments, all of which shattered and annihilated before they could even approach him.
Suddenly, he received a message through his Immortal Energy Avatar, and his brow furrowed slightly, "I'm a step too late; Human Venerable Void River has already entered the Legacy Hall..."
The God General Legacy Hall was a rather important resource area, and the Human Universe Master certainly had Immortal Energy tokens there. Rashly intruding would easily attract the Human Universe Master.
Moreover, the God General Legacy Hall's material was special, preventing Immortal Energy from penetrating and exploring it. Without precise coordinates, it would be difficult to find the Legacy Hall's location.
"It seems I'll have to wait for him to come out here."
Banff Master took out his flying palace Arcana treasure and entered it, then shrunk the palace and flew towards the space fragment layer.
...
Timi Secret Realm, Emerald Tree Mountain.
This was a colossal mountain with countless large trees, exceeding tens of millions of kilometers in height.
On the surface of Emerald Tree Mountain, trees with hardness comparable to C-grade metal were ubiquitous, and there were even towering trees comparable to D-grade and E-grade metal.
Among countless trees, unique wood beasts of Emerald Tree Mountain roamed, attacking any intruding invaders.
Ender flew towards the God General Legacy Hall, having obtained its precise coordinates from the palace outside Emerald Tree Mountain, without attracting the attention of any wood beasts along the way.
"The entrance to the Qimu God General Legacy Hall is actually inside a tree hollow of a large tree."
Following the precise coordinates, he quickly found that large tree, whose material was comparable to E-grade metal, and whose trunk had a tree hollow with a diameter of over ten meters.
Whoosh!
Ender's figure flickered, and he entered the bottomless tree hollow.
The tree hollow was initially narrow, but as he continued to descend, its inner diameter gradually widened.
He descended at a slow pace, taking several minutes to exit the tree hollow.
...
Bottom of the hollow.
It was an incredibly vast space, with thirty-two golden palaces suspended, radiating golden light.
Each palace had a diameter of about several tens of kilometers, and each radiated golden light.
Among them, two palaces were enveloped in white light, like a cover completely shrouding them.
"Someone has already come to receive the Legacy..."
Ender glanced at the two palaces enveloped in white light, then teleported to the nearest palace where no one was approaching the Legacy.
The Legacy Hall was divided into two parts: a main hall and a plaza. Both the main hall and the plaza were entirely constructed of green rock.
Buzz!
Instantly, Ender appeared on the palace plaza, seeing the plaza ground and palace walls imprinted with golden mystical patterns.
"These mystical patterns..."
He looked at these shimmering golden mystical patterns, a hint of pleasant surprise in his eyes.
Suddenly!
The golden mystical patterns on the main hall walls and ground of the entire palace shot out a dazzling white light.
Countless rays of light swept past Ender, rapidly condensing around the palace, forming profound and incomparable mystical pattern diagrams, which then completely solidified, transforming into a white light barrier.
This white light barrier enveloped the entire palace.
"This defensive mystical pattern is excellent, very intricate."
Ender witnessed the entire process of the white light barrier's birth and meticulously recorded it.
"Just the Secret Techniques on the outside of the palace have given me considerable gains; I wonder if there will be surprises inside."
He turned his gaze to the main entrance of the hall, and his figure flickered, instantly appearing inside the main hall.
Upon entering, he saw green mist permeating the hall. In the distance, some green rocks occasionally condensed and then melted and dissipated, seemingly transforming into mist.
Rumble...
A tremor shook the ground.
In the area of the main hall enveloped by green mist, sounds like the Qiantang tide echoed, followed by strange and beautiful sounds.
"Ang... long... woo..."
Various tones combined, forming the Ancestral God Sect language, entering Ender's mind.
The sound reverberated.
The main hall underwent a change; the green mist suddenly transformed into a rock, with strange characters inscribed on it, their strokes seemingly composed of mystical patterns.
These were precisely the characters of the Ancestral God Sect, the Universe's largest power!
"Qimu God General Legacy Forbidden Land..."
Ender glanced at the characters and walked directly towards the green mist within the main hall.
Inside the green mist, there was a rumbling sound, and the wondrous sound echoed throughout the main hall.
At the same time, within the constantly changing main hall, a green rock staircase, about three kilometers wide, emerged at the end of the green mist. Each step had strange golden mystical patterns, faintly glowing with golden light.
"This is the Secret Technique of the Qimu God General Legacy."
Ender arrived before the green staircase and looked down at the golden mystical patterns on the first step, his brow slightly furrowed.
"This shouldn't be."
After examining the mystical patterns, he carefully surveyed his surroundings, "Teacher said that the Qimu God General Legacy is beneficial for comprehending Wood-Space Fusion Laws, so why am I... Hmm?!"
When Ender saw the wall on one side of the staircase, he was immediately stunned.
Because a few green mystical patterns were carved on that wall, precisely the Wood-Space Fusion Laws mystical patterns he had been thinking of.
"So that's how it is."
He couldn't help but smile, "What Teacher said about the Qimu God General Legacy being helpful for comprehending Wood-Space Fusion Laws didn't refer to the Qimu God General Legacy Secret Technique, but rather the Law mystical patterns within this palace."
Ender came before the wall carved with Wood-Space Fusion Laws mystical patterns and meticulously observed them.
"The Law mystical patterns here are few and are the most basic Wood-Space Fusion Laws mystical patterns. I need to continue upwards."
Stepping forward, Ender observed the Law Secret Techniques on the wall, verifying his own analysis of the Wood-Space Fusion Laws mystical patterns, and continuously ascended the staircase.
As for the Qimu God General Legacy, he completely ignored it, letting it enter his mind.
With his Soul will and body amplification, he could easily withstand the consciousness tempering of the God General Legacy.
Ender's body amplification had reached the Universe's limit of a hundredfold, and it was a hundredfold achieved through cultivating a single Secret Technique, not at all inferior to the Major Achievement Qimu God General Legacy Secret Technique.
Therefore, he did not need to Cultivate the Qimu God General Legacy Secret Technique, directly ascending the staircase with his powerful divine body and Soul will.
...
Time flowed by, and in a blink of an eye, three hundred years had passed.
Ender initially spent very little time observing and studying the Wood-Space Fusion Laws mystical patterns, but as he continuously ascended the staircase, he intentionally increased his research time.
Although staying too long on a certain step would intensify the test on his divine body and will.
However, his divine body and will were so formidable that those tests were negligible to him.
"Master!"
When Ender ascended another step, Little Dawn's voice came from his mind, "You have reached the 9000th step."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Ender immediately awoke from his state of mystical pattern research, "Have I reached the 9000th step already?"
"It's time to leave." Ender glanced at the continuously ascending staircase, whose end was vaguely visible. "This trip to the Qimu God General Legacy Hall has been quite fruitful. That Secret Technique has already taken shape..."
Saying that, he took a step back, and his entire being was instantly teleported to the palace plaza.
"No need to rush out yet. I'll complete that Secret Technique first."
Ender took out the Crimson Gold Void Palace and entered it. Then, a part of his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe to create Secret Techniques, while his Gu Yu Ancient Tree Clone and two branch trees studied the Law mystical pattern structure.
...
In the Space Fold outside Emerald Tree Mountain.
Banff Master, residing within his palace Arcana treasure, had an impatient look on his face.
"Human Venerable Void River has been accepting the Qimu God General Legacy for three hundred years, and he still hasn't emerged. Could it be that he left via Divine Kingdom teleportation?"
He murmured softly, "But according to the intelligence obtained by the Demon race, Mechanical Race, and my Zerg, Human Venerable Void River seems to still be accepting the God General Legacy."
"I'll wait a bit longer. If that Human Void River doesn't show up within a thousand years, I'll go back."
Humans were adept at blocking news. If Human Venerable Void River didn't show up for a thousand years, he would have essentially returned to the Primal Secret Realm to Cultivate in seclusion.
Just like when he displayed Universe Overlord strength during The Great Battle in the Extraterritorial Battlefield and then Cultivated in seclusion in the Primal Secret Realm for over a hundred thousand years.
The Primal Secret Realm was a core stronghold of humanity, with a Primal Chaos City Lord Clone stationed there. Banff Master would not dare to assassinate Ender there.
So, he could only wait now!
Either wait for Human Venerable Void River to show up, or leave when the thousand years were up.
...
Seven hundred years later.
Emerald Tree Mountain, God General Legacy Hall Plaza, a magnificent Crimson Gold Void Palace stood.
Inside the Crimson Gold Void Palace, Ender slowly opened his eyes, joy in his gaze.
"It's complete."
A genuine smile appeared on his face, "This is my first Universe Master Pinnacle secret technique."
"This ultimate technique was inspired by the mystical patterns within the Qimu God General Legacy Hall..."
Ender recalled the endless green mist in the God General Legacy Hall and the staircase that seemed to stretch endlessly when viewed from below.
"Since my Secret Technique is named 'Void River,' then this Universe Master Pinnacle secret technique should also contain the character 'River'..."
His eyes lit up, "I'll call it Misty River Flow!"
The combat Secret Technique "Void River," following the Universe Overlord Pinnacle secret techniques 'Residual Dream' and 'Dawn,' and the Universe Overlord Ultimate ultimate technique 'Morning Radiance.'
Now adds another Universe Master Pinnacle secret technique—Misty River Flow!
Ender smiled, "Haha, besides the extremely consuming 'Space-Time Annihilation,' I now have a Secret Technique truly comparable to a common Universe Master."
Universe Master Secret Techniques are classified as Top-tier, Pinnacle, Ultimate, Strongest, and Fusion Strongest.
Top-tier ultimate techniques are often created by newly Breakthrough Universe Masters. Universe Masters with a bit of accumulation can create Pinnacle Secret Techniques, and even stronger Ultimate Secret Techniques.
Universe Master Top-tier, Pinnacle, and Ultimate ultimate techniques are not difficult for Universe Masters to create.
However, the Strongest Secret Technique is a threshold. Many third-Rank Universe Masters, despite having good treasures and relatively high life gene levels, can only be ranked at the third-Rank Pinnacle simply because their Secret Technique Rank is not high.
A representative figure among them is Flame Emperor, who left humanity, possessing two top-grade Pinnacle Arcana treasures.
Now, in addition to the Strongest talent Secret Technique 'Space-Time Annihilation' bestowed by the Original Universe, Ender had also created a Universe Master Pinnacle secret technique.
Even without using 'Space-Time Annihilation' or activating the third form of the Dragon Awakening Spear, he could contend against a third-Rank Universe Master!
"The Secret Technique has been created; it's time to go out."
Ender emerged from the Crimson Gold Void Palace, put away his palace Arcana treasure, and flew away from the palace plaza.
Flying towards the tree hollow at the top of the enormous space, he looked down and saw the 32 palaces below. Seven of them now had white light.
"I spent a total of a thousand years accepting Legacy and Cultivating in this Qimu God General Legacy Hall, and seven Legacy Halls already have people currently accepting or having accepted Legacy."
Ender silently thought, "I need to check for Nineteen and the others to see if there are any suitable God General Legacies for them. If so, I'll secure a God General Legacy slot for them."
Judging by the seven people who accepted Legacy in a thousand years, God General Legacies were in high demand.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The upper limit of a God General Legacy was a Top-tier Universe Overlord. Even without inheriting the God General Venerable position, one could reach Universe Overlord.
In the vast Original Universe, a Universe Overlord was already a dominant existence, sufficient to support a relatively strong common race.
Whether or not a common race had a Universe Overlord Strongest guarding it was extremely important.
For some Alliance powers, if there were no Universe Overlord Strongest from their own race guarding them, even if they joined an Alliance power, they would have no say.
For example, the Fu Xie Race of the Muqi Alliance, with Universe Overlord Venerable Fu Xie guarding them, had territory in the Universe territory. The area was not large, but it was better than being confined to a Universe Secret Realm.
There was a huge difference in potential between lives born in the Universe territory and those born in a Universe Secret Realm!
...
Emerald Tree Mountain.
Ender had just emerged from the God General Legacy Forbidden Land and had not yet left the tree hollow when he received a Virtual Universe email.
"Teacher's email?"
He was somewhat puzzled. After checking it, his brow furrowed slightly, "The Soul slaves of the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race are very active..."
It was not easy for the Soul slaves of the three races to remain hidden, yet they were extremely active during his time away from the Primal Secret Realm accepting the God General Legacy. The target of the three races was self-evident.
"They're targeting me..."
Ender smiled slightly, "I wonder who is making a move this time?"
"I have already left the Primal Secret Realm, so they shouldn't invite a True God to act."
"Considering I have a Clone, the attacker should be skilled in Soul attack methods, as I have never revealed my Soul will abilities."
Thinking of this, he immediately reached a conclusion, "Banff Master of the Zerg Alliance!"
Banff Master was the strongest among the Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race in terms of Soul illusion techniques.
In terms of Soul illusion attacks, he ranked among the top Universe Masters in the entire Original Universe, considered a fourth-Rank Top-tier Universe Master.
"Banff Master's Soul illusion techniques are indeed formidable, but against me, who possesses something equivalent to the Soul-type Arcana treasure Molten Crystal..."
Ender smiled confidently, "His strongest Soul illusion techniques will be useless!"
"According to intelligence, without Soul attack methods and without having created the Strongest Secret Technique for material attacks, Banff Master's strength is only at the third-Rank Universe Master level."
"To be safe, I still need to ask Senior Martial Uncle Primal Chaos City Lord to back me up, to prevent a fifth-Rank Universe Master or a True God from descending."
With this thought, Ender's consciousness entered the Virtual Universe and contacted Primal Chaos City Lord.
After more than ten minutes.
Ender emerged from Emerald Tree Mountain and flew towards the guardian palace in the Void.
...
Space Fold.
"Human Venerable Void River has emerged from Emerald Tree Mountain."
Inside the tiny palace amidst the endless space fragments, Banff Master's eyes flashed with sharp light.
Instantly!
Banff Master's massive hundred-kilometer-tall divine body appeared in the Space Fold, and his terrifying Immortal Energy pressure annihilated the passing space fragments!
Rip!
Space was torn apart, and Banff Master drilled into the space rift...
