Inside the Shiyuan Hall.
"Ancient Dragon Body!"
After mastering the essence of the Beast God, Chen Yuan immediately activated this amplification secret technique.
In an instant, fine scales appeared on his body, his five fingers transformed into sharp dragon claws, his body lengthened and deformed, and finally he transformed into a giant blue dragon tens of meters long.
From its appearance, it looks exactly like a young beast god.
Of course, this is only superficially similar; it lacks the true spirit of the subject.
As for his size, Chen Yuan couldn't do anything about it. His original body wasn't even two meters tall, so naturally, his ancient dragon form wouldn't have such a large body.
As for the divine charm, it's because he hasn't yet activated the Beast God's intent.
As Chen Yuan's thoughts stirred, countless intricate, deep blue patterns gradually appeared on the azure dragon's body.
These secret patterns intertwine and entwine all over his body, yet present a strange sense of harmony, as if he were the embodiment of the rules of the universe.
The eight innate beast gods are the perfect embodiment of the rules of the universe, and so is the essence of the beast gods.
Therefore, in the simulated space, these artistic conceptions were displayed as a set of perfect secret patterns. Chen Yuan studied them for 15,000 years before finally comprehending his own secret patterns.
Although the secret patterns on Chen Yuan's body are still very rudimentary compared to complete beast-themed secret patterns, he is at least on the right track.
With his current level of mastery of runes, even among those who have reached the King level of Immortal, he is absolutely top-tier, naturally giving off a sense of perfection.
"Now that I've mastered the secret runes of the Four Transformations of the Wind, shouldn't my 'Ancient Dragon Body' transformation be ready to move to the next stage?"
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan continued to activate the Ancient Dragon Body Secret Technique, and the secret patterns all over his body lit up instantly, while his original tens of meters tall figure began to gradually shrink.
"Human-Dragon Body, Solidify!"
With a low shout from Chen Yuan, his body transformed back into human form in the next second, now covered in scales and still with sharp claws, becoming a 'dragon-man' over three meters tall.
"As expected, the human form suits me better."
Chen Yuan stretched his body and suddenly noticed his hands. With a thought, his sharp dragon claws gradually degenerated and turned into five fingers covered with blue scales.
With a "whoosh," the Azure Sky Sword appeared out of thin air. He grasped it in his hand, swung it a couple of times, and then nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, change comes from the heart. My Ancient Dragon Body has indeed entered the fourth transformation."
If it is the third transformation of the ancient dragon body, it cannot transform into human form; it can only transform into the tens of meters long azure dragon form just now.
That's because their understanding of the Beast God is insufficient; they're still at the stage of imitation.
But as the saying goes, "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die." Blindly imitating the Beast God will not lead you far on the path of the Beast God, because Chen Yuan is, after all, a human, not a beast.
Therefore, as his understanding of the Beast God's intent deepened, he broke free from his original constraints and forged his own path. Just like the 'Ancient Dragon Body' secret technique, the second and third transformations were imitations of the Beast God's form, but from the fourth transformation onwards, he was able to initially grasp the ability to change at will and could transform into his most proficient form to fight.
For humans, their most proficient combat form is naturally the humanoid form.
Chen Yuan then tested the combat power of this form and found that although he was stronger, his movements were slightly stiff and not as smooth as when he danced in his third transformation dragon form.
He understood that this was because he had just stepped into the fourth stage of transformation and was not yet proficient in changing forms.
The solution is simple: continue to practice diligently.
Chen Yuan's Ancient Dragon Body is currently at the beginner stage of the fourth transformation. Once he reaches the "proficient" stage, he will be able to overcome the problem of awkward form transformation.
If one reaches mastery or even perfection, then other forms can also be as fluid and free as the three transformations of the dragon body.
Having figured this out, Chen Yuan began to focus on cultivating the Ancient Dragon Body. As for the other three ultimate techniques of the Riding the Wind Manual, he had no time to attend to them for the time being.
The main reason is that, in addition to being able to transform into a dragon-human form for combat, the Ancient Dragon Body is also a secret technique for body amplification, which has the most significant effect on improving Chen Yuan's strength, so it naturally ranks first in terms of priority.
He will only consider cultivating other secret techniques after he has perfected the four transformations of the Ancient Dragon Body.
Therefore, after Chen Yuan comprehended the Beast God's intent, his physical body in reality began immersive cultivation, while his consciousness in the simulated space became idle.
But how could Chen Yuan bear to be idle? Anyway, after comprehending the Beast God's intent, the space in the simulation space was empty, which was just the right time to start optimizing those treasures.
After all, with Chen Yuanpu's promotion to World Lord, he has been able to optimize items to the ninth tier—that is, the level of supreme treasure!
With the abundant primordial energy and the availability of the simulation space, optimizing the treasures on his person should naturally be put on the agenda.
However, Chen Yuan was soon disappointed, because when he was preparing to optimize the Shiyuan Hall, the system prompted that "relevant materials are missing."
"That's right, the optimization materials I collected before can only optimize high-grade treasures at most."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "But now I want to optimize the treasure, so naturally I need to provide higher-grade materials."
But to be honest, once you reach the level of a supreme treasure, even if it's just materials, it's very difficult to find them in the treasure vault.
The materials he could find were incredibly expensive. Even if Chen Yuan only needed a tiny bit as optimization material, the cheapest one would cost tens of billions of points, while the more expensive ones could cost hundreds of billions or even trillions.
"This price is outrageous; it's not even in the same league as precious materials."
Chen Yuan was somewhat helpless. Even if he exchanged all the cash he had for points, it would only amount to less than 300 billion, which would only be enough to buy one or two kinds of materials at most.
But there's no other way; for such a treasure, no matter how expensive, we have to grit our teeth and buy it.
Chen Yuan compared the system's requirements and searched the treasure vault. He found that optimizing Qingxiao and Tianmang would require 105 billion and 120 billion points respectively to purchase materials. The next requirement was the Silver Sea Boots, which would require 86 billion points.
If the Shiyuan Hall needs to be optimized, 248 billion points are required to purchase materials.
As for the Thousand Mist Polished Mirror of the Domain type, the materials required for optimization are too scarce and are not available in the treasure vault.
Chen Yuan then fell into deep thought. With his current assets, he could only choose two from the Azure Sky, Heavenly Light, and Silver Sea Boots. If he chose the Origin Palace, he could only optimize one of them.
After careful consideration, he made a decision: "A treasure-level flying palace can at most save one's life in front of a cosmic venerable, but a supreme treasure-level flying palace can save one's life in front of a cosmic lord."
"Whether it's optimizing the Azure Sky, Heavenly Light, or Silver Sea Boots, it's still very difficult for me to escape from the hands of the Cosmic Venerable."
"When going out for training, survival must be the top priority, so we can only optimize the Shiyuan Hall first."
After making up his mind, Chen Yuan immediately opened the treasure vault, spent 248 billion points to decisively acquire the optimization materials from the Shiyuan Palace, and chose the expedited delivery service.
Just two hours later, an immortal god arrived at his manor with a spatial ring.
Returning to the Shiyuan Hall, Chen Yuan took out a metal fragment the size of his little finger and shook his head: "Just this tiny fragment cost me over 20 billion points."
"However, since it's a material related to a treasure, the price is reasonable."
It's important to know that even a common treasure is worth at least trillions, and there's practically no one selling them.
The metal fragment that Chen Yuan bought could only be considered a material for forging a treasure, or even a scrap from a failed forging, which is why it was so cheap.
"With this little money, it's good enough if there's anything to buy, and there's no room for being picky."
Chen Yuan shook his head. Despite his feelings, the optimization couldn't stop.
He told the system the optimization requirements for the Shiyuan Hall, and the task was successfully completed.
However, the mission took an unexpectedly long time.
"It actually takes three hundred years!"
Chen Yuan was somewhat shocked, while Wen thought it made perfect sense.
After all, judging from the consumption of optimizing a ninth-tier item, it is indeed a hundred times that of a peak eighth-tier item. Normal optimization starts at 1 million source energy.
Of course, he was performing a leapfrog optimization, so each optimization required 2 million units of primordial energy.
Since the cost is a hundred times greater, it's normal for the optimization time to be a hundred times greater as well.
"Fortunately, there is a simulation space."
Thinking of this new feature, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Otherwise, I would have had to use my source energy to shorten the construction period."
"That would break my heart."
Keep in mind that he only has a little over 10 billion units of primordial energy. To reduce the optimization time to a few years, he would have to use almost all of his energy.
However, with a simulation space, it can be completed in just 21 days with a 10,000x acceleration. Even with the formal optimization time, it will only take 42 days, which is even faster than the previous optimization of Zhongbao.
As the simulation mission began, Chen Yuan's consciousness also began to observe and learn. However, the ninth-level mission was too profound, so he didn't figure out a single thing until the mission ended.
Realizing the vast difference in skill levels, Chen Yuan didn't force himself to continue learning and instead began studying some basic optimization techniques.
This time, he optimized a lot of items related to the laws of time, mostly upgrading them from the sixth to the seventh tier, which corresponds to the law runes at the King level.
This was exactly within Chen Yuan's knowledge range. Observing these laws and secret patterns gave him a feeling of continuous inspiration, which was of great benefit to his understanding of the laws of time.
So, in the time that followed, Chen Yuan pursued a three-pronged approach: expanding his inner world, cultivating secret techniques, and simultaneously learning in the simulated space with a wisp of his consciousness.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
