"When choosing a secret technique, our people judge whether it suits them based on the aura of the stone wall. Only those that suit them will be practiced. If they don't suit them, it's very difficult to comprehend them. Therefore, we don't need to know which stone wall corresponds to which secret technique before we make a choice."

"Each generation of elders is in charge of this place, so they can accurately know what secret technique each stone wall contains. Of course, they can also use the method of touching the stone wall to determine what secret technique is stored in it."

This isn't a technique for selecting people, but rather a technique for selecting people! This thought popped into Yi Shuihan's mind, and he found it quite normal. Just like everyone has different strengths, some things are easy to learn, while others are difficult. The principle behind the Atlas people's selection of techniques is to judge which technique is most suitable for them based on their aura.

"In fact, the most suitable secret techniques are those we create for ourselves based on our own conditions. No matter how good the secret technique is, it is difficult to reach the level of the person who created it."

The elder continued.

Yi Shuihan agreed with the Elder's viewpoint, after all, what belongs to others is ultimately theirs.

How do I begin to grasp the secret techniques?

"Simply place your hand on it and feel it with your heart. Don't rush it; you can't rush this. Generally speaking, even very..."

Even with proper alignment, it takes several days to obtain the complete inheritance from the stone wall.

"Oh? I'll give it a try."

Yi Shuihan placed his hand on the stone wall that allowed him to teleport instantly. With a thought, a stream of information flowed into his mind through the stone wall. It contained the cultivation method for teleportation, as well as some insights and experiences in cultivation.

"Is there a problem? Did the stone wall reject you? This does happen sometimes. It usually occurs when the secret technique and the person are extremely incompatible. The stone wall thinks you have no chance of learning the secret technique, so it rejects you."

The elder saw that Yi Shuihan had placed his hand on the stone wall and then removed it, the whole process taking less than two seconds, and said with some regret.

Yi Shuihan looked at the Grand Elder strangely. He didn't know how to tell the Grand Elder that the inheritance was already complete; would that be too much of a blow?

Chapter 906, The Elder Who Was Struck

The Elder who was attacked

Seeing Yi Shuihan remain silent, the Grand Elder mistook her strange expression for embarrassment and anger. Startled, fearing Yi Shuihan's rage, he quickly comforted her.

"It's not a big deal if you can't learn Instant Teleportation. This technique is one of the most difficult to learn among all techniques. Only a few of our Atlas race can learn it. You can look at other techniques. There are quite a few that are easier to learn and more powerful than Instant Teleportation. You definitely won't be disappointed."

"Well, actually, I've already completed the inheritance."

"Let me tell you about the secret techniques hidden in this stone wall... What did you just say?"

The elder was about to divert Yi Shuihan's attention by introducing him to a secret technique he thought was good when he suddenly realized what Yi Shuihan had said and stared at him in utter bewilderment.

"I already know the cultivation method for teleportation. I guess I'm a genius and I learn things quickly."

"Genius! The fastest clansman I've ever seen to accept the inheritance took half an hour. If I'm not mistaken, you only took 2 seconds!"

The Grand Elder looked at Yi Shuihan muttering to himself, utterly shocked, finding it hard to believe the truth for a moment.

Seeing that the Grand Elder wouldn't recover for a while, Yi Shuihan ignored him and began to wander through the stone cave. When he reached a stone wall, he didn't touch it with his hands, but instead released a wisp of his spirit to touch it, and then clearly understood what secret techniques the stone wall might contain.

The thought surfaced in my mind, and I even learned what qualifications were needed to learn this secret technique.

If Yi Shuihan wanted to, he could simply walk past the stone wall and take away the inheritance. He could take away all the secret techniques created by the Atlas people over countless years by walking around once.

Although Atla Star has many secret techniques, including quite a few that Yi Shuihan finds infuriating, there are only a few that truly move him. Take, for example, this instant teleportation technique. If Yi Shuihan hadn't been reluctant to spend his cultivation points, he wouldn't have come here to learn it; purchasing it from the system would have been a piece of cake.

Compared to the system's skill shop, these secret techniques weren't as appealing, and Yi Shuihan only used them to relax.

The Grand Elder was unaware of Yi Shuihan's inner thoughts. If he had known, he would have cried himself to sleep in the bathroom. The secret technique that he cherished as a treasure and was extremely proud of was, in Yi Shuihan's eyes, merely something to relax and have fun.

Yi Shuihan quickly finished reading the thousands of stone walls, taking only about 10 minutes. In the end, besides teleportation, Yi Shuihan recorded two other secret techniques for cultivation: one was a food light wave, the effect of which was somewhat similar to the shape-shifting ray of the demon Puwu.

People hit by the food light wave can transform into food that Yi Shuihan has eaten or seen before, but the taste must be the same as what Yi Shuihan has eaten before to be reproduced.

This skill can only be used against creatures much weaker than oneself and cannot increase Yi Shuihan's combat power. Yi Shuihan mainly memorized the method of cultivating this skill because he could show off.

Another secret technique that Yi Shuihan remembered was "I Want to Hear the Truth," which was also a very effective technique. As long as Yi Shuihan activated this technique, anyone whose strength was lower than his would not be able to lie, while those whose strength was higher than his might also fall for it if they were not careful.

"Are there any other secret techniques you'd like to learn? Just tell me your general requirements, and I can recommend some for you."

By the time Yi Shuihan had finished looking at all the stone walls and returned to the Grand Elder's side, he had already returned to normal.

"No need, I have already looked at all the stone walls here, and I have written down what I wanted."

His words immediately left the Grand Elder speechless once again.

"You've finished watching it all? So quickly..."

When the Grand Elder once again fell into his own world, Yi Shuihan originally wanted to leave first, but then he suddenly thought of the girls in his personal world, and his eyes lit up.

"These secret techniques might not mean much to me, since the system's skill shop is much more powerful. But for them, this is a good opportunity. They should come out and choose some secret techniques. Anyway, I already owe Atlas a favor, so it doesn't matter if I owe a little more. It's only right to seek benefits for my wives!"

The more he thought about it, the more he realized it made sense. So Yi Shuihan simply released the girls from his personal world and told them the whole story.

The girls were all very interested in this secret technique and happily went around looking for their favorite techniques.

"Who are they...?"

The elder, now fully awake, looked at Yi Shuihan with a puzzled expression upon seeing so many extra people.

"They're all my wives, I don't think you'd mind if they chose a few secret techniques too!"

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

At this moment, how could the Grand Elder dare to say no? He quickly said no problem, because Yi Shuihan's fist was bigger!

"Could they be monsters like him, able to complete the inheritance in just 2 seconds?"

With these questions in mind, the elder carefully observed Cai Yan and the others, and found that after they came into contact with the stone wall, they were completely immersed in the inheritance and did not wake up for even a minute. They were no different from the clansmen before, and the elder breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"Fortunately, he should just be an exception. If everyone outside the world were such a genius, then the Atla aliens would really have no way to survive."

The moment the elder had this idea, he saw Aphrodite's hand leave the stone wall.

"How is it? Is the inheritance complete?"

"Hmm, this secret technique is quite interesting. I'm going to go and look at the other secret techniques."

Staring blankly in Aphrodite's direction, the Grand Elder thought of a time: 2 minutes. Although it was far less than Yi Shuihan's 2 seconds, it was still hard for the Grand Elder to accept.

After Aphrodite, Robin and the others also quickly completed their inheritances, mostly within 5 minutes. Cai Yan took the longest, 6 minutes, completely overwhelming all previous Atla aliens. The Grand Elder was speechless with shock, considering he himself had received a secret technique inheritance in 33 minutes and was hailed as Atla's eternal genius.

Chapter 907, Preparing to Summon the Dragon

Preparing to summon Shenron

By the time Yi Shuihan and his group emerged from the secret technique cave, a day had passed. Cai Yan and the others had also gained a great deal, some obtaining dozens of secret techniques, while others obtained hundreds, completely overturning the Grand Elder's expectations. He wore a shocked expression throughout the entire process.

Many of the secret techniques were not very useful in Yi Shuihan's opinion, but the girls still passed them down, saying that if there were benefits, they might as well take advantage of them. Even if they couldn't use them themselves, they could still serve as a foundation to show that they knew a lot.

Surprisingly, the girls showed little interest in the environment and customs of Atlas. Once they emerged from the cave, they demanded to return to their personal world, which Yi Shuihan naturally refused.

"That's true. The secret techniques of Atlas are alright, but there's really nothing else to recommend them."

As the Grand Elder toured their city, or rather, their tribe, Yi Shuihan discovered that the living environment on Atlas was truly primitive, probably much better than even during the feudal dynasties, comparable to Namek.

The other people on Atla looked on with curiosity when they saw their Grand Elder with someone who was clearly an alien, but no one pointed or whispered, which showed that the Grand Elder still held considerable authority in Atla.

Logically speaking, Yi Shuihan had already achieved his goal on Atla Star, so there was no need for him to stay any longer. However, it wasn't his style to take advantage and run away, so Yi Shuihan planned to leave something behind on Atla Star.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In the end, Yi Shuihan decided to leave behind a stone wall for the inheritance of the cultivation system, which was limited to those below the Earth Immortal realm. This way, Yi Shuihan would not suffer any loss. If he were to inherit the Golden Immortal realm, it would probably take him quite a while to recover.

In this world where Qi cultivation has been practiced for hundreds of millions of years, Yi Shuihan's inheritance stone wall is naturally extremely precious. Even someone with trashy bloodlines can become a powerful figure by relying on it. The bloodlines of the Atlas people are not considered good, but they are still much better than those of Earthlings.

If any of them could cultivate to the Dao Integration Realm, their combat power would probably be in the millions. If they could become Earth Immortals, they could easily defeat Frieza.

The people in this world have such good physical constitutions that their combat power is naturally extraordinary when combined with their physical abilities. However, at the later stages of cultivation, it's not about physical strength, but about supernatural powers and spells. Supernatural powers and spells can increase attack power by dozens of times, which is completely incomparable to pure strength.

Compared to improving combat power, perhaps increasing lifespan is more important. The Atlas people live longer than humans, but not by much. Their average lifespan is 120 years. Reaching the Qi Refining stage can increase lifespan, and reaching the Nascent Soul stage starts at 300 years, which is more than double, not to mention the later stages.

Yi Shuihan only mentioned the purpose of the stone tablet to the Grand Elder and instructed him to pass it on to the next Grand Elder, leaving the other Atlasians to their fate.

It wasn't that Yi Shuihan was stingy, but rather that he understood the principle of "possessing a treasure invites trouble." For Yi Shuihan, this didn't matter; even if someone knew he possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, they wouldn't dare to covet him. However, Atla Star was different. If someone knew that there was something here that could allow people to live for more than ten thousand years, they would probably flock there, and Atla Star might even be destroyed.

The Grand Elder was no fool; he naturally understood Yi Shuihan's meaning and was extremely grateful to her.

Yi Shuihan, leaving behind the stone wall, quietly departed from Atla. Countless years later, an Earth Immortal was born on Atla thanks to the stone wall he left behind. This immortal, through his exceptional talent, broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm and ultimately saved the universe, becoming a savior. This was something Yi Shuihan could never achieve.

I expected it.

...

"Atlas's instantaneous teleportation is still a bit inferior to King Kai's. King Kai doesn't need to sense ki; he can teleport directly."

Yi Shuihan mastered teleportation in just one hour. Moreover, because he had studied spatial manipulation, his teleportation skills surpassed those of the creator who left the stone wall.

Sensing auras was also very easy for Yi Shuihan. Basically, unless someone was a god who had reached this world, their aura was completely hidden. Once Yi Shuihan had seen one, the entire universe could sense it instantly.

Because he had never been to Namek or Earth, and had never sensed the aura of Namekians or Earthlings, Yi Shuihan could not teleport to any precise location. He could only teleport based on his own estimation. Even if he didn't arrive on the first try, he could find his way after a few more attempts. In any case, it was definitely faster than a space jump device.

Sun Wukong had to press his fingers against his forehead to teleport, but Yi Shuihan didn't need to at all. He didn't need to press his forehead to concentrate on sensing Qi. Besides, that movement wasn't very graceful. Yi Shuihan could teleport in any posture.

"It's a dinosaur! We're pretty lucky this time."

Yi Shuihan's figure appeared out of thin air next to a dinosaur that looked eight parts similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This was the second time he had used teleportation. The first time, he had overdone it and teleported directly into a swamp because the aura he sensed was a swamp crocodile.

Recalling the image in the magic mirror, Yi Shuihan quickly confirmed his location, and after two teleportations, he had found it almost perfectly.

Once I get the hang of it, I'm 90% confident I can move to Namek.

That's right, Yi Shuihan's next destination is Namek. He wants to use Namek's Shenron to make a wish. If he comes to Dragon Ball and doesn't collect all seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron, then what's the point of coming at all?

With a thought, Yi Shuihan vanished from the spot once more, while the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had just bitten empty air, looked at the place where Yi Shuihan had stood in confusion, wondering why the food had disappeared.

Little did it know that it had escaped a calamity; had it actually been bitten, it would have been turned into food and eaten by Yi Shuihan.

The sky is a deep green, the grass is equally lush and green, and the surrounding area is full of trees. This is Namek.

"It seems there's no mistake this time."

Yi Shuihan muttered something to himself, then looked down at the little guy beside him—a young Namekian.

Chapter 908, The Perfect Namekian

The Perfect Namekian

The Namekian, who was about 1 meter tall, looked at the strange uncle in front of him with a wary gaze. That's right, in his eyes, Yi Shuihan was a strange uncle. Not only was his skin not green, but he didn't even have nice antennae.

"How will he survive without tentacles?"

Thinking this in his little head, Bimen suddenly felt sorry for the strange uncle in front of him.

The Namekians can be described as an almost perfect race. Not only are they born with immense strength, but they also possess superhuman vision and hearing, the ability to conjure everyday items, regenerate their bodies, grow to enormous size, extend and retract their arms, fly, move objects out of thin air, create clothes and weapons out of thin air, and even create Dragon Balls. They are simply the darlings of the heavens, incredibly powerful.

Not only that, the Namekians don't need to eat; they can survive on just a little water each day. The antennae on their heads can perform a photosynthetic-like reaction to provide them with energy, making them like humanoid plants.

If we were to list the creations that God was most satisfied with, then Namek would undoubtedly be one of them.

It's precisely because the Namekians love peace and dislike fighting that Frieza might not have had a chance, given their abilities.

If you think about it carefully, the Namekians can assimilate others. Assimilating one of their own kind can instantly increase their fighting power by dozens of times. This ability is even more powerful than the Super Saiyan transformation.

This world is called Dragon Ball, and the Dragon Balls are something that only Namek could create. The Namekians are actually...

She is more suited to be the lead role.

When Yi Shuihan noticed the pity in Bi Men's eyes, he was immediately speechless. Did I look pitiful?

The truly pitiful ones are you, aren't you? You have such immense power, yet you live like ascetics, and your entire bodies are green. You're even asexual, so you don't need to go through the process of creating offspring; you just spray them out as eggs and that's it.

"Why is it so green? Is it because it's worried about being cuckolded, so it uses this method of reproduction?"

The moment this thought arose, Yi Shuihan confirmed it, and so he looked at Bimen with the same pity in his eyes.

Oh, poor kid! Being a Namekian means you're destined to never enjoy the good things in the world. If you stay on Namek, you'll probably only be able to plant trees, drink water, and grow old, not much better than a leaf.

"Hello, little friend, I am Yi Shuihan, a time traveler. Is this Namek? Are you a Namekian?"

Yi Shuihan came with a friendly attitude, so he naturally spoke very politely.

"This is Namek. I am Bemon. Your name is Yi Shuihan? That's strange. What is this time traveler you mentioned?"

Sensing goodwill from Yi Shuihan, Bimen lowered his guard against her. After all, Namekians are pure-hearted people who easily trust others. Of course, this doesn't mean they are easily deceived; it's precisely because they are pure-hearted that they can more easily sense whether others are sincere.

Besides, you can only fool the Namekians temporarily. Think about their superhuman eyesight and hearing; if you reveal even the slightest flaw, they might just give you away.

If they get it, they'll be found out. They may be innocent, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. On the contrary, Namekians are very smart, otherwise they wouldn't have so many abilities.

"You can think of it as a profession. For example, among the Namekians, there are warrior types, medical types, and intelligent types."

“So that’s how it is”

Bimen nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Can you read minds too?"

Suddenly, Bimen asked.

Yi Shuihan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Bimen would ask such a question.
