Chapter 434 Obtaining the Inheritance, Creating a First-Order Secret Technique
Chapter 434 Obtaining the Inheritance, Creating an Eleventh-Order Secret Technique
The Ranks Technique is arguably the most important secret technique in the entire novel *Swallowing the Stars*!
Of course, this only applies to the first part of the story.
However, even in the Origin Continent, the Lieyuan Technique can be considered one of the top secret techniques. Only after leaving the Origin World will the importance of this secret technique gradually decline.
"The Art of the Primordial Chaos, one of the secret techniques left behind by the Primordial Chaos Lord, focuses on cultivating the mind and will."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "This is wonderful! I thought I would only have a chance to glimpse this secret technique when the Jin Dynasty world appears, but I didn't expect my teacher to give it to me now."
"This is a secret technique created by Lord Hunyuan. Although it was created casually, it still has a chance to free the mind and will from their shackles."
In the original work, Luo Feng's secret techniques for willpower were mainly based on the Lieyuan Technique until his willpower transcended its limitations, which is enough to prove the value of this secret technique.
In other words, as long as Chen Yuan obtains the information on the Lieyuan Technique, then not only will he not lack relevant information even if he optimizes it all the way to the God Emperor level, let alone the Chaos Ruler.
Moreover, by optimizing the data from the Lieyuan Technique, the resulting Willpower Secret Technique is also top-tier, far surpassing the "Divine Eye Secret Technique."
"I didn't expect the teacher to think so highly of me, even posting the scroll of the Lieyuan Technique."
Chen Yuan was secretly pleased. "This is great! I used the Divine Eye Secret Technique to optimize the data before reaching the Chaos Realm, and now I'm using the Elemental Array Technique. The two work together perfectly."
The basics of the Elemental Arts require the will of a Chaos Overlord, and even as optimized data, it is beyond the capacity of ordinary secret arts.
Therefore, Chen Yuan planned to continue optimizing his Yuan Shen Sword Intent using the information from the "Divine Eye Secret Technique" in the early stages, and then use the information from the Lie Yuan Technique to further optimize it after reaching the peak of the Eternal level.
In this way, he will have no worries about using his secret techniques of willpower until he reaches the peak of the God Emperor realm.
"We don't need to worry about the willpower secrets for now."
After putting away the Scroll of the Elemental Arts and the Memory Stone of the Divine Eye Secret Technique, Chen Yuan picked up the core inheritance, "The Art of Refining Treasures of Universal," which was also his initial goal.
He just didn't expect to encounter the Lieyuan Technique along the way, which almost made him forget about this inheritance.
In fact, Chen Yuan had long anticipated this inheritance, since it likely contained the sequel to the "Power of the Calamity Armor" that he had been longing for.
The reason why his "Heavenly Armor" and "Primordial Soul" have remained at the level of supreme treasures without further optimization is that he was waiting for this data.
Although the level of the divine bodies of the powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea is the same, this only applies to basic divine power. The Cosmic Sea does not restrict any external forces from improving them.
In other words, things like divine power burning and the extra basic divine power brought by the Heavenly Light Battle Armor will not be restricted by the rules and can be perfectly unleashed.
"Once the power of Heavenly Light is further optimized, coupled with the divine power burst brought about by 'Annihilation,' my basic divine power will be at least several hundred times that of other life forms!"
"Based on this, if I learn the second and third volumes of 'Severance,' then as long as I keep up with the secret techniques, I might even be able to reach the level of a Void True God."
"By then, the so-called calamity of the world beasts will be nothing but a clay chicken and a tile dog, which can be easily wiped out with a flick of the wrist."
After thinking for a while, Chen Yuanchang pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at the Memory Stone in his hand, and used it without hesitation.
Three days later, he finally finished receiving the package.
"It took them this long to receive it."
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised, considering that he had only used half a day to combine the three inheritances of Duan Donghe.
Although he didn't borrow much computing power from the virtual universe this time, it's enough to show how much content this inheritance contains, at least comparable to Duan Donghe's core inheritance.
"Does this mean that my teacher has passed on all his knowledge and skills to me at once?"
Due to rule restrictions, Chen Yuan cannot currently see the content beyond the Void level. He can only determine the amount of content based on the transmission time, but his estimate is probably quite accurate.
It's highly likely that the Mountain-Sitting Guest handed over the entire God-King level treasure-refining inheritance to him all at once.
After all, the teacher knew about his talent and knew that he had a way to bypass the rules and directly explore the subsequent content.
So the mountain hermit's idea was that instead of continuing to be stingy and hiding the inheritance, it would be better to send it all out at once and see how much his apprentice could learn.
"I really appreciate the teacher's approach."
Chen Yuan, who directly read the subsequent inheritance content through the Eye of Primordial Chaos, immediately revealed a satisfied smile: "It really is a God-King level inheritance!"
Indeed, during this period, Chen Yuan discovered that if he wanted to bypass the rules and directly read information beyond the Void level, he didn't need to go through such a troublesome process of system optimization.
He can directly read all content through the Primordial Eye without being restricted by any rules!
The reason he was able to collect so much information without encountering any blocking was because of the power of the Primordial Eye.
Therefore, over the years, with the acceleration of time, Chen Yuan has read through all the subsequent content of the core inheritance of Duan Donghe, greatly enriching his knowledge reserves.
Moreover, this information also increased the proficiency of the Primordial Eye by 20%, bringing this secret technique a significant step closer to the sixth level.
"This trip has been successfully completed."
Chen Yuan was satisfied. "It's time to go back and continue my seclusion."
Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to pack up the entire Inheritance Palace and take it with him.
To emphasize authenticity, the materials used in the construction of the Inheritance Hall by the Mountain Dweller were all of the Void level, presumably dismantled from those ruins.
Given Chen Yuan's personality, he certainly wouldn't waste it. He directly refined all the palaces and transformed them into a small amount of the Great Dao Source.
Without further ado, he teleported back inside the Tomb Ship and arrived at the cultivation space to continue his seclusion.
Currently, Chen Yuan has basically wiped out all the advanced inheritances in the entire Cosmic Sea region. The only remaining one is the Jin World, which will arrive in more than eight million years, which is the corpse of the Jin God King in the previous life of the Mountain Guest.
However, this world is not of much use to Chen Yuan, because he has already acquired the two most crucial inheritances within it: the "Divine Eye Secret Technique" and the "Lieyuan Technique".
Besides, the benefit brought by the Jin world is the abundance of supreme treasures. After all, for these civilizations, the so-called supreme treasures are just true god-level weapons and armor.
In the Origin Continent, almost any normal adult life form can become a true god. Although life in the Jin World is not as advanced as that in the Origin Continent, it is by no means as difficult for them to break through to the true god realm as it is in the Cosmic Sea.
Therefore, the true god-level treasures in this world are not as rare as those in the Cosmic Sea. As a result, when the Jin World was born, almost every Cosmic Sea expert who went in to explore it eventually possessed a supreme treasure.
But for Chen Yuan, the most powerful treasures have no meaning for him anymore, and even stronger Void-level and Eternal-level treasures can no longer attract him.
Because he had already obtained the complete Refining Techniques of Jin, which contained all the refining techniques from True God to God King level, as well as some blueprints for treasures.
In addition to these, Chen Yuan also obtained a treasure-refining inheritance from the core inheritance of Duan Donghe, which can be used in combination to make his treasure-refining skills more comprehensive.
However, Duan Donghe's treasure-refining technique is much weaker than Jin's inheritance, with an upper limit of only the Chaos level.
However, as a general-level inheritance of the Wu Kingdom, Duan Donghe's treasure-refining inheritance contains many blueprints of military equipment of the Wu Kingdom, such as the blueprints of the famous mechanical master, Chaos Golden Wing.
Yes, Chen Yuan discovered the blueprints for the Chaos Golden Wings in the inheritance.
Although he was initially puzzled as to why Luo Feng had never mentioned this in the original work, he quickly figured it out—because during the Cosmic Sea era, Luo Feng couldn't see the inheritance content above the True God level at all.
After arriving at the Origin Continent, Luo Feng focused solely on cultivation and did not delve into unorthodox methods such as treasure refining. Furthermore, since the Chaos Golden Wings would soon be obsolete, it was normal that he did not mention any related inheritances.
But it's different for Chen Yuan, who can see the subsequent contents of the inheritance right in the Cosmic Sea!
As long as his treasure-refining skills are up to par, and combined with the material-making ability of the Primordial Hand, Chen Yuan could very well create the Chaos Golden Wings directly in the Cosmic Sea!
"Next, we will incorporate the improvement of the Treasure Refining Technique into our daily training."
Chen Yuan quickly made a decision: "Let the consciousness of the virtual universe come. We can also comprehend the essence of the secret runes along the way."
""
"The Soul-Devouring Beast Avatar will continue to cultivate the Primordial Eye and hone its will in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, striving to break through to the mid-stage of the Void True God realm as soon as possible."
"In this way, my willpower will be comparable to that of a late-stage Void Realm cultivator, allowing me to begin cultivating the tenth level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent."
Despite spending nearly a century in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, which, with the time acceleration, is equivalent to cultivating for tens of millions of years, his mental willpower has not improved that much.
The main reason is that Chen Yuan's improvement of his mental will relied heavily on the practice of meditation.
Of course, this does not mean that his will cannot be improved through normal trials.
In fact, over the years, Chen Yuan's mental will has indeed improved compared to a hundred years ago. He has advanced a small distance in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, where the time flow rate has reached 3 times.
However, the majority of this increased willpower came from the improvement in the meditation technique, followed by the enhancement of the primordial spirit sword intent, and finally the results of his own self-cultivation.
This is actually normal, after all, his mental will has already reached the level of a Void True God, and its strength is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Void Realm, so it is very difficult to advance further.
Or rather, for any life form, it is incredibly difficult to advance beyond the Void level.
For example, the "Bai Chi Star Lord of the Second Cycle Era".
The opponent's will had long since reached the Void level, yet their comprehension, spanning countless epochs, was still limited to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar region 13.
Even with time accelerated ten thousand times, he had only taken a small step forward.
Although Chen Yuan's mental and physical talent was stronger than this person's, it was not enough for him to continue to make rapid progress in less than a hundred years.
Moreover, even for Luo Feng, it would take epochs to advance further from the foundation of Void-level will.
In the worldview of Swallowing the Stars, time is becoming increasingly worthless. The fact that Chen Yuan's mental will was able to advance further in such a short time is largely due to the effects of the Sitting in Oblivion Technique.
"According to the progress of the sitting meditation method, from the initial stage to the middle stage, from the middle stage to the later stage, and from the later stage to the perfection, each stage takes about 300 years, which adds up to 1200 years."
"If my mental structure remains unchanged, then this part of the time should not change."
It is extremely difficult to change the structure of the mind consciousness system. Chen Yuan discovered the Hundred-Link Structure by accident.
Want to make further modifications based on this? That would be no less difficult than getting him to learn the basics of the Elemental Technique right now.
So Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry. In any case, he could reach the Void level of perfection in just over a thousand years. What more could he ask for?
"It has been nearly a hundred years since my will broke through, which means that in about two hundred years, my will will be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Realm."
"As long as my will breaks through, my primordial spirit sword intent will soon reach the tenth level of perfection under the acceleration of time. I will also take this time to continue to optimize the subsequent chapters."
"That's fine! Let the Soul Devouring Beast clone slowly improve here."
In order not to disturb the cultivation of his various clones, Chen Yuan activated the "Mental Barrier" after a long time, temporarily blocking the connection between the various clones. This would ensure that each clone could enter an immersive seclusion.
"The Nether Sea Avatar needs to decompose the remnants from the Primordial Tower, while the Nine-Flower Abyss Whale Avatar is focused on studying the fusion of laws. These two avatars can continue to be maintained."
Over the past century, the progress of the Dark Sea and the Abyss Whale's clones has been quite good.
Thanks to the energy decomposed over the years, the Nether Sea Avatar has expanded its divine body to a diameter of 1.2 light-years. Expanding it tenfold would allow it to reach its true limit.
As for the Abyss Whale clone, his research on the fusion of laws also went relatively smoothly.
Especially after breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, Chen Yuan's Ten Laws were all perfected. With the help of the "Beast God Intent", Chen Yuan had completed the fusion of all the lower and higher laws.
Currently, the Abyss Whale clone is focusing on researching the fusion of lower-level laws. The next step is misaligned fusion, that is, the fusion of lower-level laws on the time side with the laws of space, or vice versa.
After conquering these two steps, the final challenge is the fusion of space and time. Once he has mastered the fusion of all two laws, it will mean that the gate to the Void level has been opened for him.
Because the fusion of two laws is the foundation for the fusion of ten laws, once this step is completed, the subsequent fusion of three, four, or even nine laws will not encounter any bottlenecks.
If one merges more than five laws and comprehends the source of the laws, one will have crossed the threshold to become an Eternal God.
If he could directly complete the fusion of the ten laws, he could instantly become the Chaos Ruler and ascend to the heavens in one step!
"Of course, these are still too far away for me. I'd better focus on mastering both laws first."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, observed the progress of the two clones, then withdrew his thoughts and activated a shield for them as well.
"All the clones have been arranged, and my main body is about to officially begin cultivation."
The Tomb Ship, within the cultivation space.
After blocking out all clones, Chen Yuan slowly exhaled, preparing to begin cultivating the three great inheritances of Duan Donghe.
And this was precisely the cultivation task he had prepared for his true self—cultivating the core inheritance secret method.
In addition, Chen Yuan himself was also concerned about various optimization tasks, such as the follow-up data on the power of the original soul of the Calamity Armor he obtained from the inheritance of Jin.
With this information, his two supreme treasures, Heavenly Mantle and Primordial Soul, can be further optimized, and even more powerful basic divine power can be added to them.
After sending all the treasures and secret techniques into the simulation space, Chen Yuan extracted the optimized "Severance" inheritance and began cultivating in this space.
Time slowly passed, and every ten years (primordial universe time), Chen Yuan would remove the shield and share the cultivation results from his various avatars.
Thirty years later, three hundred thousand years have passed in the cultivation space. Chen Yuan has successfully completed the first volume of "Severance" and mastered the technique of bursting out a hundredfold.
Unfortunately, the second and third volumes of "Extinction" require the True God realm to cultivate, forcing him to temporarily abandon them and instead cultivate "Donghua" and "Undying River".
Meanwhile, the Soul-Devouring Beast clone, located far away in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar space, successfully completed the analysis of all the data from the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, causing the proficiency of the Primordial Eye to surge by more than 80%, leaving only 20% to go before reaching the sixth level.
Chen Yuan didn't rush to send his clone to the treasure room. Instead, he took out the Nameless Sword Embryo and the Star Tower to continue studying them. After all, he hadn't finished acquiring the Chaos-level information from these two treasures, and they could still provide a lot of experience.
As expected, in the fiftieth year, Chen Yuan collected the Chaos-level experience from the two treasures and successfully broke through the sixth level of the Primordial Eye, enabling it to analyze God-King level information!
Then, Chen Yuan had the Soul Devouring Beast clone continue analyzing the Star Tower and the Nameless Sword Embryo in place, since the tempering of will could not stop.
He himself dispatched an avatar to the treasure chamber, simultaneously activating the Primordial Eye to analyze 322 within it.
A treasure.
However, since the time acceleration cannot be activated inside the treasure room and the treasures inside cannot be taken away, the time for collecting information is relatively slow, far less than that of the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area.
Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry; he let his avatar analyze the situation slowly. After casually activating a shield around his avatar, he went back into seclusion.
Time flies, and ninety years have passed since he went into seclusion. Chen Yuan has also completed the first volume of "Donghua" and "Undying River".
However, unlike "Severance", the remaining two inheritances do not have realm requirements. The Lord of the Universe can cultivate the first three volumes, so his main body's cultivation task has not yet ended.
On this day, however, he had no mind to cultivate, because as the shield was lifted once again and his clones shared the harvest, good news came from the consciousness of the virtual universe.
That is—after 900,000 years of continuous refining, Chen Yuan finally relied on his skills to refine his first Void-level treasure, which means that his treasure refining skills have officially broken through to the Void level!
At the same time, thanks to the breakthrough in the art of refining treasures, Chen Yuan's research on the essence of secret patterns also made great progress.
And for this reason, his secret technique "Space-Time Blast" finally broke through the shackles, leaping from the peak of the ninth-order secret technique to the eleventh-order secret technique!
