Chapter 342 The Supreme Conference, Master Peng's Regret
After the primordial figure disappeared, the cosmic lords nearby hurriedly came to greet him.
"I never expected that the teacher would actually show up for you, and that we would talk for hours on end."
The Lord of Darkness looked at his disciple with disbelief in his eyes.
That was the Primordial Ancestor! Ever since he was suppressed by the Primordial Universe, the Master would only show himself for major events. Even when his disciples came to pay their respects, they would mostly just exchange a few words via telepathy.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan, this disciple, managed to alarm his teacher, and the two did not simply chat for a few words, but talked for several hours.
"Chen Yuan." The group was filled with curiosity, and the Chaos City Lord couldn't help but ask, "Did your teacher tell you anything during that long conversation?"
"Feel sorry."
The matter of the secrets of the virtual universe could not be discussed. In fact, most of the content of his conversation with the Primordial Ancestor was not easy to reveal, as it involved many of his own secrets.
It's one thing for the original ancestor to see through these secrets, but it's another thing for him to voluntarily reveal them. Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Yuan doesn't want to expose all his secrets.
So Chen Yuan could only shake his head and say, "My master only gave me some pointers on cultivation and didn't explain anything else."
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, all somewhat disappointed.
It's rare for the teacher/ancestor to show up, and I thought he would offer some advice on the development of the human race, but it turns out he just wanted to give Chen Yuan some pointers.
But on second thought, there seems to be no other reason. It's just that there aren't many geniuses who can be guided by the Primordial Ancestor. The last one was the founder of the Giant Axe.
This seemed to be a kind of certification, causing the same thought to flash through the minds of several universe lords: was the appearance of the Primordial Ancestor to guide Chen Yuan also because the other party had a very high probability of breaking through to become the strongest in the universe?
"Chen Yuan".
Thinking of this, the Lord of Darkness couldn't help but ask, "Did your teacher guide you on your future cultivation path? Did he instruct you on how to break through to become the strongest?"
In this era lacking tradition and guidance, it is extremely difficult for the strongest in the universe to emerge, and even the paths of each strongest are different.
But the Primordial Ancestor was different. As someone who once dared to fight against the primordial universe and was recognized as the strongest being in the Cosmic Sea, his vision was far superior to that of the other strongest beings.
The creator of the giant axe was guided by the primordial ancestor, which enabled him to break through to the realm of the strongest in the universe. Now that the primordial ancestor has reappeared to guide Chen Yuan, does this mean that Chen Yuan's path to becoming the strongest has been paved?
"teacher."
Chen Yuan looked helpless: "I'm still in the Immortal stage, three major realms away from the strongest. Even if my master guides me, I shouldn't have to cross that many realms."
"Wait, you're still immortal?!"
Upon hearing this, the other universe lords were stunned. The Dark Lord couldn't help but say, "Wasn't it because you broke through to the Universe Venerable realm that you were able to fight against the strongest being in the universe?"
"No," Chen Yuan shook his head. "I haven't corrected the errors in my laws yet, how could I break through so quickly?"
"I only managed to raise my combat power to this level by relying on the power of the treasure and by making a breakthrough in my own secret techniques."
"Without the blessing of treasures, my strength is at most comparable to Senior Brother Youhou."
"??"
Upon hearing this, Lord Youhou immediately wore a strange expression. Had he become a unit of measurement for combat strength?
The others were still incredulous when they heard Chen Yuan's explanation: "Without relying on treasures? Then your basic strength is equivalent to a Universe Venerable with a hundred times the genetic power."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded, "But in these hundreds of years, I have created the strongest fusion technique. My mastery of this technique should be comparable to that of the top-tier universe masters."
"The strongest fusion technique?!"
The several universe lords all gasped in astonishment. To master a secret technique of this level meant that one had almost reached the pinnacle of the universe lord realm. Among them, only the Chaos City Lord and the Dark Lord possessed such a technique.
As for Ice Peak and Dragon Lord, although they are ancient beings, their strength is indeed slightly inferior to the other two.
They both currently possess multiple of the strongest secret techniques, but they have not yet fused them together. Both of them can be considered peak fourth-order universe masters.
As for Lord Youhou, being young, his mastery of secret techniques was the weakest among them, having only mastered the ultimate secret technique and ranking at the level of a third-tier universe lord.
However, no one expected that Chen Yuan, who was merely an Immortal, had actually created the strongest fusion technique. With the help of various treasures and the Star Tower, his combat power had definitely surpassed the fifth level, making him qualified to challenge the strongest in the universe.
"Unbelievable." Lord Youhou couldn't help but scratch his head. "Is creating the strongest secret technique that easy? Why can't I create one?"
He could hardly believe that his junior brother had surpassed him in just a thousand years, even though he had cultivated for countless years to achieve his current strength.
"With such a powerful secret technique and the Star Tower, it's no wonder you're fearless against the strongest."
The Lord of Darkness exclaimed, "This level of strength has probably surpassed both my senior brother Chaos's and my own."
"Not only that." The Chaos City Lord shook his head, but a smile remained on his face. "You should know that Chen Yuan is still an Immortal now. When he breaks through to the Universe Venerable and then the Universe Lord in the future, his divine power will increase a hundredfold each time."
"Breaking through twice will increase his divine power level ten thousandfold!"
"With Chen Yuan's strength, it is estimated that after breaking through to the Venerable level, he will be able to stand firmly at the top level of the original universe and have an equal dialogue with any of the strongest beings."
"If one breaks through to become the Lord of the Universe—"
The Lord of Chaos City gave Chen Yuan a deep look and continued, "Perhaps he will become the first being since the beginning of time to rival the strongest being in the universe with the realm of a universe master."
"By then, even if Chen Yuan has not broken through to become the strongest in the universe, our human race will have two of the strongest beings in the universe."
"Senior brother is right." The Lord of Darkness looked at his disciple, his expression filled with satisfaction: "The rise of humanity may depend on my disciple."
Although that was indeed what he thought in his heart, Chen Yuan still couldn't help but wave his hand after hearing these words: "You flatter me, everyone. I am just a minor immortal now."
"Haha, that's precisely why it's immortal!" The Lord of Darkness laughed. "A lower realm means you can continue to grow, unlike us old guys who can't see the way forward and have been stuck at this realm for countless years."
"In short," the Lord of Darkness patted his disciple on the shoulder, encouraging him, "Work hard, the future of humanity rests on your shoulders."
"I understand, teacher," Chen Yuan replied solemnly.
"Um!"
The Lord of Darkness nodded in satisfaction, but didn't ask Chen Yuan when he would break through.
After all, in his eyes, his own disciple could create the strongest fusion technique, so a mere Universe Venerable could easily break it.
Moreover, he knew that Chen Yuan had stayed in the small universe for two million years, and the laws had been greatly affected. According to the results given in the "Primordial Secret Records", it would not be surprising if it took several thousand years to sort it out.
In short, as long as they wait patiently, the Lord of Darkness believes that his disciple will surely reach the pinnacle of the universe and become the pillar of his race.
"Let's go."
The Lord of Darkness said, "We've met our teacher, let's go back."
Soon, the group flew downwards, leaving the area of the Primal Ancestor Statue and returning to Thunder Island.
"Alright, let's part ways here," said the Lord of Darkness. "We can discuss anything at the Supreme Council in three days."
"Mm." Chen Yuan nodded.
After the teacher and the other decision-makers left, Chen Yuan had a thought and also exited the virtual universe.
Inside the Shiyuan Hall.
"The ancestor's secret technique is truly complex."
Chen Yuan opened his eyes and sensed the time. "It actually took more than ten years to sort it out. I don't know how long it will take if I officially start cultivating."
He shook his head, opened the panel and glanced at it, only to find that the system's collection progress was less than one-tenth.
"That's true. Given the amount of information in these secret methods, it would take at least ten days to half a month to collect it all, and the system isn't affected by normal time acceleration."
After all, the Virtual Universe Secret Technique has been optimized and iterated by the original ancestor over many years, and is now equivalent to the [Void True God Level] Secret Technique, which has exceeded the limit of the system's computing power.
Coincidentally, this secret technique belongs to the [Eleventh Tier] according to both the classification of the Cosmic Sea and the system's classification.
level.
Of course, they are only at the same level.
According to the Cosmic Sea system, the eleventh to thirteenth orders all belong to the Void True God level, and this level falls within the eleventh order category in the system's classification.
The fourteenth rank, representing the eternal true god, is divided into twelve ranks in the system. Chen Yuan, being the habitual person he is, naturally prefers to use the system's calculation method.
"I just don't know to what level the Primordial Ancestor upgraded this virtual universe secret technique."
Chen Yuan wondered to himself, "Is this the initial stage of the eleventh level? Or is it something more advanced?"
Although he possessed the entire contents of the secret technique, he couldn't guess its level because he couldn't understand it.
It should be understood that even if Chen Yuan could create the strongest fusion secret technique, it would still be a secret technique at the level of a universe master. Only by pushing this path to its limit could he rival a tenth-order true god.
However, the secret techniques of the virtual universe even surpass those of true gods, and are two levels higher than the secret techniques created by Chen Yuan. It would be strange if one could understand them.
He could only rely on the system to collect all the information before he could arrive at a specific result based on the overall content of the secret method.
"Let's wait."
"We should see the results in about two weeks."
Of course, the highest-level meeting would be convened first before that.
Not long after, Chen Yuan received an email inviting him to attend the highest meeting.
The email also included an address, which was the location of the Supreme Meeting: the Temple of the Giant Axe.
At the same time, Chen Yuan discovered that he had an additional area he could teleport to, which was the Giant Axe Temple. So, with a thought, he teleported there directly.
Despite being called a "temple," the Giant Axe Temple is actually quite simple in appearance. In front of the massive stone hall with its rudimentary decorations, there is a long stone table, with some stone chairs placed in front of and on both sides of the table.
This is the scene that Chen Yuan saw when he was teleported over.
"Just as described in the original work, it's too simple." Chen Yuan looked at the temple curiously, feeling that it wasn't as grand as the temple in his divine kingdom.
"Chen Yuan, over here."
The Lord of Darkness waved to him, and Chen Yuan immediately ran over, "Teacher."
"Yes, please have a seat." The Lord of Darkness nodded with a smile. "This area is the location of my Virtual Universe Company."
Chen Yuan sat down on the stone chair as instructed. Beside him was the Lord of Darkness, while beside his teacher were Bingfeng, Longxing, and the Lord of Chaos City.
As for Senior Brother Youhou, he sat in the area below him, and there was an empty seat further away, which was probably reserved for Senior Sister Yinlan.
Chen Yuan then looked around the long table and saw people being teleported over from time to time, finding seats and sitting down on their own.
The Lord of Darkness noticed his disciple's gaze and smiled as he introduced him to the other cosmic lords of various forces, such as the Lord of Huangjian of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Lord of Penggong of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, and the Lord of Qingdong of the First Bank. These cosmic lords had basically obtained information about Chen Yuan in advance, and most of them responded amicably when they saw him.
Only one person looked somewhat embarrassed; it was Peng Gong, the master of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. The other cosmic masters had never dealt with Chen Yuan, but he was different.
Peng Gongzhi clearly remembered that more than a thousand years ago, this "Primordial Lord" was still a small guy at the cosmic level, a disciple of the Lord of Darkness.
Most importantly, Chen Yuan went to the secret realm "Dark Sea Star" under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank because of a cosmic-level cultivation mission. He racked up points there, which attracted the attention of the secret realm administrator.
Because Chen Yuan's identity was kept highly confidential, the cosmic venerables who managed the secret realm couldn't even check Chen Yuan's situation, let alone take any action against him. In the end, they had no choice but to report the matter to Engineer Peng.
At that time, Peng Gong Zhizhu would not have taken Chen Yuan seriously, not to mention that the Lord of Darkness was not present, and You Hou was a generation lower than him.
The impact Chen Yuan had on Dark Sea Star could be large or small. Although it was just a small matter in the eyes of Lord Peng Gong, it did damage the interests of the Cosmic Star River Bank. Therefore, he did not think much about it and made a decisive decision to cut off all contact with Chen Yuan.
In other words, Chen Yuan will be expelled from the country, but the points he previously earned can be retained.
Although Peng Gongzhi believed that he had handled the matter fairly and objectively, in the eyes of Chen Yuan, who was still at the cosmic level at the time, wasn't he also using his power to suppress others and brutally cutting off their future benefits?
Now, times have changed, and even Engineer Peng never imagined that in just over a thousand years, the little guy that was once a cosmic entity has grown to this extent.
According to the information that Giant Axe privately revealed to him, this "Primordial Lord" was someone who had killed three Universe Lords and was even not at a disadvantage when facing the strongest beings in the universe!
Although Peng Gong was not weak either, being a peak fifth-tier universe master, he was still far inferior to Chen Yuan.
Seeing this spirited and charismatic ruler of the primordial era, Peng Gong couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
"If only that decision had been made more gently back then, not only would it have avoided offending the other party, but it could have also created a positive relationship."
Master Peng shook his head slightly. Who could have imagined that Chen Yuan would grow up so quickly?
Just as he was hesitating in his heart about whether or not to apologize to Chen Yuan for what happened on Dark Sea Star back then,
call out!call out!
Two beams of teleportation appeared one after the other in front of the Giant Axe Temple. One of them was the newly appointed Universe Lord of the Virtual Universe Company, 'Lord Silverstorm'.
The other person, naturally, is the host of this meeting, the founder of Giant Axe!
"Sorry, I got a little engrossed in my cultivation and arrived a little late."
As soon as the Lord of Silver Mist appeared, he apologized to everyone.
"It's alright, I just arrived too." Giant Axe waved his hand. "Please take a seat."
After the Lord of Silverstorm took his seat, the Founder of the Giant Axe also came to his seat and looked at everyone, saying:
"This supreme meeting is now in session!"
