478: Chapter 478 Third Senior Brother

The statue was a humanoid creature, nearly three meters tall, with a slender build and a detached demeanor.

Its pupils, however, were silver, with faint, intricate light patterns emerging, making Xiao Weiqing wonder if he had misseen.

Although this sculpture lacked any obvious sense of power, it carried an air of transcendence that seemed to look down upon the laws of existence, giving Xiao Weiqing a strange feeling of being seen through.

Xue Yuan walked to the front of the statue, bowed her head slightly, and performed a solemn salute.

She then turned to Xiao Weiqing and said, "Xiao Weiqing, come here."

"Meet your Third Senior Brother."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. So this was the teacher's third Disciple. He bowed respectfully.

Xue Yuan said, "Master's third Disciple is named Yake, and he is a member of the Heaven-Abandoned Race."

"The Heaven-Abandoned Race?"

"Correct."

"The Heaven-Abandoned Race is born with the 'Wisdom of Heaven and Earth.' They are incomparably intelligent. Because their Comprehension Ability is too Heaven-Defying, they are kept in check by the Universe. Their birth rate is extremely low, and their numbers are so few that they have become a solitary race isolated from the world."

"It is estimated that in the entire Fifth Universe Civilization, there are not even one hundred thousand of them combined."

"Less than one hundred thousand?"

Xiao Weiqing was shocked. At this order of magnitude, 'rare' was an understatement in the Universe; they would have to be considered an endangered protected species. A single misstep could lead to their extinction.

Xue Yuan extended her fair, delicate palm, and a broken black scale gradually appeared. It looked plain and unadorned, yet it possessed an unusual attraction.

Xiao Weiqing's gaze was locked onto it instantly, unable to look away.

"Xiao Qingzi, this is for you. Inside is a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique. If you can learn it, then even when you enter the Universe in the future, you will have few rivals among those of the same rank."

"Really?"

Xiao Weiqing was somewhat skeptical. The Universe was vast, with countless intelligent civilizations. He never felt he could compare to the top Geniuses of the Universe's civilizations.

"Of course, why would I lie to you? This Absolute Technique was created by Yake based on his own talent after a century of seclusion."

"Third Senior Brother created it himself?" Xiao Weiqing was shocked.

"That's right, your Third Senior Brother created it himself. Even in the Dominator Realm, creating a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique is extremely rare in the vast Universe."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing was ecstatic. This was a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique created by a Dominator Realm powerhouse.

Thinking of the Wanxiang Saber Technique, he had only learned one of its manifestations, yet his melee combat strength had increased exponentially. If he learned a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique, that would be incredible; even a Demonic Race Demigod would struggle to take a single strike from him.

"Tempted, aren't you?" Xue Yuan giggled.

Xiao Weiqing nodded hurriedly, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Here, take it, and go to the Training Room to Cultivate. If you have any questions, you can ask Finch; he should be able to help you answer a thing or two."

"Has Finch also Cultivated this Absolute Technique?"

"No."

"Finch knows many Starry Sky Martial Arts, but not Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques. Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques are closely guarded secrets in any Universe civilization."

"A single Starry Sky Ultimate Technique could absolutely spark a war between two low-level civilizations, even causing them to fight until one civilization is wiped out."

Xiao Weiqing nodded in agreement. On Blue Star, let alone Starry Sky Martial Arts, no one had even seen a Level 9 Innate Skill before.

Dongfang Hao might have had one, but that was over eighty years ago.

"Then do your best. If there is any news from Azure Dragon Island, I will notify you immediately. Just focus on your Cultivation."

"Alright, thank you, Queen Xue Yuan."

Xue Yuan smiled sweetly, and her figure vanished.

Xiao Weiqing did not linger and returned to the previous room. The treasures covering the floor made him take a few extra looks.

However, the temptation of the Starry Sky Ultimate Technique was greater. He decided to return to the Training Room. As for these treasures, Xiao Weiqing decided to take some with him when he returned to Azure Dragon Island; after all, Xue Yuan had told him that these treasures could all be given to him, and he could take as many as he wanted.

Returning to the Training Room.

Xiao Weiqing did not start Cultivating immediately but called out to the empty space, "Finch, are you there?"

"I am here."

Finch's figure appeared, answering with a smile.

"Finch, help me take a look at how I should Cultivate this."

Xiao Weiqing took out the broken black scale.

Finch's eyes brightened slightly when he saw the black scale. "A Divine Sense Transmission?"

"What is a Divine Sense Transmission?" Xiao Weiqing was a bit confused; Xue Yuan had not explained this to him.

"A Divine Sense Transmission is different from a standard Martial Arts Imprint. A standard Martial Arts Imprint is just a powerhouse using their Divine Soul power to imprint their own Cultivation insights onto special Materials."

"The Materials required do not need to be very good, and the power of the imprint left behind does not need to be very strong. What is important is stability and that it lasts long enough so that even after millions of years, it can still be comprehended."

"But a Divine Sense Transmission is different. It is considered a higher-level Martial Arts Imprint that allows you to experience it directly. However, this requires a strong Divine Soul to support it; otherwise, it is a huge burden on your body and Divine Soul. Your consciousness could even collapse, and your Divine Soul could dissipate."

"It's that dangerous?"

"It is not dangerous if your Divine Soul is strong. This should belong to Lord Yake, right?" Finch asked.

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Correct, Xue Yuan said this is a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique created by my Third Senior Brother."

"Then that is not surprising. Lord Yake is a member of the Heaven-Abandoned Race with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability. The Starry Sky Ultimate Technique he created must be incredibly profound, and the difficulty of learning it must be off the charts."

Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed to hear Finch describe this Starry Sky Ultimate Technique. The more powerful, the better; if he was going to learn, he wanted the strongest.

"You are happy?"

"Of course, shouldn't I be happy?"

Finch asked curiously, "Haven't you considered that you might not be able to learn it at all?"

"???"

"I said that Lord Yake has Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability. The Starry Sky Ultimate Technique he created is definitely not ordinary; even among Starry Sky Ultimate Techniques, it is in the top tier."

"Even with the Divine Sense Transmission, it will be very difficult for you to learn."

Xiao Weiqing's face fell, dropping from heaven straight into Hell.

"Then, by your estimate, with my Comprehension Ability, how long will it take to learn?"

Finch thought for a moment and said, "Previously, there was a person who learned a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique from Lord Nuoyu. Their Comprehension Ability was a bit better than yours, and it took them three hundred and twenty-four years to master the basics."

"How long?"

"Three hundred and twenty-four years?"

Xiao Weiqing was completely dumbfounded. He had only been in this world for about twenty years.

Now he was being told that learning a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique would take over three hundred years?

What kind of joke was this?

Finch laughed, "I was talking about that person, not you."

"Oh, that's good. That's good."

"Your Comprehension Ability is average; at the very least, double it. Six hundred years minimum."

"?!!!"

Instantly, Xiao Weiqing froze in place.

"Are you serious? Are you sure you didn't calculate wrong?"

Xiao Weiqing asked subconsciously. The Great Sage Sun was only sentenced to five hundred years for causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and now it would take six hundred years to learn a Starry Sky Ultimate Technique.

Finch thought seriously and said after a few seconds:

"Now that you mention it, I might have really calculated it wrong."

Xiao Weiqing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and hope was reignited.

"Quick, tell me, is it way off? How many years can the sentence be reduced?"

"Sentence reduction?"

"Oh, no, I mean about how many years to master the basics."
