After Luo Feng left the Star Palace, Qin Hao entered a new phase of cultivation and artifact refining.
Artifact refining had gradually become Qin Hao's daily routine; without the augmentation of the Jiang Lan Realm, while refining was not as fast as before, Qin Hao's refining speed in the Primordial Universe remained unparalleled.
The Jiang Lan Realm had been given to his younger sister Qin Ying by Qin Hao as a safeguard for them, and also to allow them to cultivate within the Jiang Lan Realm.
A thousandfold cultivation speed, for them who were still World Lords, could save a large amount of accumulation time.
Coupled with the Jiang Lan Realm's inherent uniqueness, it could also serve as a life-saving trump card in times of danger, proving considerably more effective than ordinary treasures.
Besides the Jiang Lan Realm, the Wan Shou Tu Pu (Myriad Beasts Diagram) was also given to his niece by Qin Hao, similarly as a trump card.
In addition to the World Lord Rank to Undying Rank powerhouses Qin Hao had previously forcibly subdued, Qin Hao also made some special re-refinements and improvements, enslaving three Venerable-Level powerhouses from the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race within it.
Now, Qin Yi's safety assurance could be said to be incredibly strong.
Furthermore, Qin Hao had prepared some treasure-level sets for her, which he would give her after she had grown stronger.
From birth until now, Qin Yi's cultivation had also reached the World Lord Rank, and her cultivation talent was not weak.
However, Qin Hao did not force Qin Yi to invest too much into cultivation; she grew entirely based on her own initiative.
Fully dedicating himself to artifact refining and cultivation, the materials in Qin Hao's hands were rapidly consumed.
Initially, a large portion of the numerous materials had been consumed during the refining of the Tongtian Pillar, and now, as one treasure-level Star Palace after another was refined, the consumption of materials was like flowing water.
"It seems that in less than a thousand years, refining can stop," Qin Hao calculated the quantity of materials and directly came to a conclusion.
Qin Hao's refining speed was extremely fast, and like an ascetic, he hardly ever stopped refining; even with the vast quantity of materials obtained by the Elder God Cult, it was difficult to withstand Qin Hao's consumption.
Of course, this only applied to high-level materials; low-level materials were being refined into various treasures and treasure palaces by his avatars, and even though their consumption rate was extremely fast, it was not as fast as Qin Hao's.
"It's time to go to Primordial Chaos City," Qin Hao stopped his refining, and his figure directly disappeared from the Star Palace.
It had been some time since he handed over a portion of the treasures to Primordial Chaos City Lord for trade with other powers, and it was time to check the quantity of materials.
These materials, after being exchanged by Primordial Chaos City Lord, were directly stored in the Human Race's treasury, and Qin Hao had been notified multiple times.
However, Qin Hao had been in the Star Palace and had not gone to collect them.
Now, after such a long time, half of that batch of treasures had been exchanged, and the accumulated materials amounted to one-third of the Human Race's original material accumulation.
After all, treasures were readily available, but quickly and massively introducing them into the Primordial Universe was still a troublesome matter.
Primordial Chaos City Lord, in addition to trading with some Cosmic Powers, mostly traded with individual cultivators in the Primordial Universe.
Just like Xu Zhen Demon God, an individual cultivator who did not belong to any power, his own strength was not weak, but his treasures were still inferior to those of powerhouses from major powers.
Besides these individuals, Primordial Chaos City Lord also conducted many transactions with the leaders of some powers under the Human Race's Great Alliance.
Under the Great Alliance, they were inherently under the Human Race's protection and would usually contribute to the Human Race; top-tier treasures could also achieve the effect of enhancing the strength of these races.
Among these races, there were also some Universe Lords and top Universe Overlords, but the Human Race's current inheritances were only open to them to a limited extent.
The Human Race's current cultivation methods, secret methods, and inheritances are directly related to the Human Race's foundation, and what can be disseminated is very limited.
Just like the Elder God Cult, even though it has the inheritance of the Primordial Universe and the Beast God Path, only a very small portion can access it.
Over billions of years, among various races, those who could access and obtain a beast god token were very few.
Otherwise, a beast god token would not be comparable in value to a treasure.
On one hand, a beast god token allows entry to Zijing Island to obtain inheritance; on the other hand, it is the scarcity of the beast god token.
Every race has many treasures, but a beast god token is very effective.
Do not be misled by the large number of Beast God inheritors on Zijing Island; those are accumulated over countless years since the birth of the Primordial Universe and the establishment of the Elder God Cult.
Countless years, billions of races, and only now has this number been reached; many of these powerhouses have cultivated on Zijing Island for countless years, but truly few have successfully walked the Beast God Path.
The Beast God Path itself has a high threshold, and the number of times one can receive inheritance is very limited.
Each inheritance is extremely precious, but it is difficult to comprehend in a short period; Qin Hao is an exception, and Luo Feng is also an exception.
Most true cultivators are still stuck at the third and fourth stages, troubled for countless years, still unable to break through.
Just like Venerable Jiu Feng back then, as one of the few Human Race powerhouses who walked the Beast God Path, he had been on Zijing Island for countless years, and it was only under the stimulation of Qin Hao sharing more Fusion Laws inheritance and will secret methods that he took the final step, comprehended the beast god heart, and became a Universe Lord.
Cultivation methods are the foundation of every race, and the Human Race's Five Great Powers truly established their foundation through their monopoly on cultivation methods.
A large number of secret methods, from assisting cultivation to the application of laws, countless years of accumulation, have allowed each power to amass a vast collection of secret methods for every stage.
This is something that the various Cosmic Countries do not possess; one can only access them by joining the Five Great Powers.
These powers under the Great Alliance have even less access than the various Cosmic Countries.
After all, the various Cosmic Countries belong to the Human Race's own powers.
The Country Lords and the kings and marquises of the various Cosmic Countries can still access many secret methods and establish their own secret realms within the Cosmic Countries.
For example, the Ganwu Secret Realm of the Ganwu Universe Country is, to a certain extent, a place for cultivating second-tier geniuses under the Five Great Powers.
The Five Great Powers are, to a certain extent, monopolizing resources, concentrating more resources to supply the Human Race's top geniuses, and fostering more powerhouses.
To a certain extent, it is also relatively fair: the more talented one is, the more resources one receives; the stronger one is, the more resources one controls.
This version is flawless!
Compared to the Human Race's situation, the Monster Race, Insect Race, and Automaton Race are relatively more chaotic.
The internal racial complexity within their races is severe, with significant oppression from top to bottom.
Even geniuses have very few opportunities to truly stand out, and may even be directly controlled or even enslaved by superiors.
For example, the Monster Race's eighteen royal families have existed for countless years, and most of the true powerhouses within the Monster Race now come from these eighteen races; they control the vast majority of the Monster Race's resources.
