Chapter 469 Lord of Darkness: Do you think the legacy of ancient civilizations is as common as cabbage?
The optimized Great Evolution Creation Body has indeed surpassed the original version in strength and perfectly meets Chen Yuan's requirements, much to his delight.
"The original power of the secret technique only made my divine body comparable to a flying palace-type secret treasure of the same rank, but the optimized secret technique allows me to surpass any secret treasure of the same rank!"
"This isn't just a simple increase in physical defense; it's a further amplification of existing divine power, allowing for a comprehensive enhancement of the divine body!"
This effect is actually somewhat similar to the Divine Body Amplification Secret Technique that Chen Yuan once cultivated, or rather, body-refining secret techniques are an evolved version of the Amplification Secret Technique.
In fact, at the level of the Lord of the Universe, the Amplification Secret Technique has become a standard feature for every powerful individual, with any one of them possessing a standard amplification of 100 times.
And the fact that everyone has it means that no one has it.
In addition, the cosmic sea restricts the divine body, so even a true god cannot be stronger than a cosmic lord in terms of divine power. Everyone is on the same starting line.
What they can compete on is simply the difference in their various secret techniques.
"But with the body-refining secret technique, it's different."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "By altering the structure of divine power through a secret technique, the strength of divine power can be further enhanced, giving me a significant advantage over others from the ground up!"
"Most importantly, this enhancement can ignore rule restrictions and can be directly utilized in the cosmic sea!"
If Chen Yuan still needs to rely on the amplification effect of the Heavenly Mantle Battle Armor to make his basic divine power comparable to that of a Void True God.
However, when he cultivated the Great Evolution Creation Body to the Void True God realm, the enhancement brought by the body refining secret technique alone allowed him to directly possess a divine body strength comparable to that of a Void True God without any external force!
"Not to mention, as my proficiency in arcane arts increases, I can gradually master the power of all the branches of things."
This was a secret technique characteristic that was determined before optimization, and Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't forget it.
With great excitement, Chen Yuan took the "Great Evolution Creation Body" out of the simulation space, placed it in the optimization panel, and then consumed an equal amount of the Great Dao Source to complete it instantly.
After a while.
Having extracted all the contents of the secret technique, Chen Yuan finally understood how to cultivate it.
"I must say, this secret technique is indeed a good one, but it is a bit wasteful of materials."
Chen Yuan slowly exhaled, "Truly worthy of the Myriad Realms Realm. Even just the first level of cultivation requires ten thousand kinds of ninth-tier materials, and each material must be prepared in quantities of at least ten thousand."
"This is just the initial stage of consumption."
"In the subsequent proficiency and mastery stages, although the proportion of each material remains the same, the variety of materials increases a hundredfold."
In other words, the beginner stage requires 100 million sets of ninth-tier materials, the proficient stage requires 10 billion sets of materials, and the master stage requires a full 1 trillion sets of materials!
This is merely the requirement for the first level of the Myriad Things Realm. You must know that the entire Myriad Things Realm cultivation has a full ten levels!
"Fortunately, I still have the Primordial Hand, which can create any material. Otherwise, just searching for these materials would be a troublesome matter."
"Unlike now, all that's needed is a small amount of the Source of the Great Dao."
Chen Yuan roughly calculated that, based on the price of ninth-tier materials, he would need about ten million Sources of the Great Dao to produce enough materials.
Compared to his energy reserves, these expenditures are nothing.
In fact, this number is not small, because the value of an ordinary treasure is only one hundred million primordial energy.
It should be understood that a single point of the Great Dao is equivalent to one trillion units of primordial energy!
In other words, the energy consumed by Chen Yuanguang in cultivating the first level of the Myriad Things Realm was enough to create one hundred billion ordinary treasures!
"But there's no other way; this is the necessary price to pay."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. After comparing it with the original secret technique, he found that the original version's consumption was not high, only one ten-thousandth of the optimized version.
The reason why the optimized Great Evolution Creation Body consumes such terrifying amounts of energy is entirely due to the cost of the "autonomous mastery of the power of the Great Dao" effect.
Compared to mastering the Great Dao, the cost of mere energy loss is negligible. In any case, after that round of transactions within the Creation Cauldron, his energy reserves are already more than enough to use.
Using the Holy Weapon Sect's reserves to cultivate its inherited secret techniques can be considered making the best use of resources.
With this in mind, Chen Yuan returned to the Tomb Ship without hesitation, preparing to use the time here to accelerate his cultivation of the "Great Evolution Creation Body".
But after a short while, he stopped, frowning slightly: "The refining efficiency is too slow, it shouldn't be like this."
According to the secret method, the efficiency of refining materials is related to the strength of divine power.
If it were an infinite divine body, the refining speed should be very fast. Even if all one trillion materials were refined, it would only take a maximum of one thousand years.
But now a minute has passed, and he hasn't even finished refining one-thousandth of a single material!
Something's not right.
Chen Yuan suddenly had an idea and teleported outside the spaceship.
After leaving the time-accelerated environment, he found that his material refining speed had suddenly increased.
"The refining efficiency outside is ten million times faster than inside the Tomb Ship."
Chen Yuan blinked: "It seems that this 'Great Evolution Creation Body' secret technique is not affected by the flow of time. What is the reason for this?"
With that in mind, he simply asked the system directly and quickly received an answer.
The reason why the Great Evolution Creation Body is not affected by time acceleration is entirely because the secret technique contains the Great Dao of Matter.
The power of the Great Dao is unaffected by the flow of time.
Or rather, this power of the laws of time cannot affect the higher, more fundamental material Dao at all.
Moreover, since Chen Yuan's mastery of the branches of all things is linked to his proficiency with secret techniques, conversely, the power of the Great Dao will also affect the efficiency of his secret technique improvement.
Therefore, even if he is in a time-accelerated environment, the improvement of the Great Evolution Creation Body will not be affected, but will steadily improve at the normal efficiency.
"I see."
After figuring out the reason, Chen Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was just that he couldn't accelerate time, not a problem with the secret technique itself.
In fact, this type of secret technique is not an isolated case; he also possesses other secret techniques with similar characteristics.
For example, the meditation method or the secret techniques of the virtual universe are all unaffected by the laws of time.
Looking back now, these secret techniques all share the same characteristic: they contain the power of the Great Dao.
Among them, the Great Evolution Creation Body represents the Great Way of Matter, the Secret Method of the Virtual Universe represents the Great Way of the Soul, and the Sitting Meditation Method, which has the same characteristics, most likely contains the Great Way of the Mind!
It can be said that through the characteristics of the Great Evolution Creation Body and the virtual universe, Chen Yuan actually confirmed the existence of the Great Dao of the Mind.
"Even if the entire Origin World has not yet developed this power, the Great Dao is the Great Dao, and its characteristics will not change."
"Just like before Dongbo Xueying, no one had ever mastered a complete Dao of the Soul? But does that mean the Dao of the Soul doesn't exist?"
"Now it seems that the Path of the Mind is a similar case, only that it is more difficult to detect than the Path of the Soul, but it does not mean that it does not exist."
This unexpected discovery surprised Chen Yuan. He had originally thought that the Great Dao of the Mind and the Great Dao of the Soul were different and did not exist in the Endless Chaotic Origin Space, requiring him to start from scratch to perfect the power of the Great Dao.
However, in reality, the power of the Path of the Mind exists, and it possesses the same qualities as other Paths of the Mind.
In this way, if he wants to try to open up the path of the mind in the future, he will have a path to follow.
"However, to open up the path to enlightenment, I'll probably need to achieve a breakthrough in my spiritual realm and attain sainthood. For now, I don't need to worry about that too much."
"For now, let's focus our attention on the Great Evolution Creation."
Chen Yuan also valued the material principles contained in this secret method, so he quickly regained his composure and continued to refine the materials and temper his divine body according to the method recorded in the secret method.
Since all the procedures are completed within Chen Yuan's body, this secret technique does not restrict his movements as an Earthling.
After separating a portion of his consciousness to cultivate a secret technique, Chen Yuan thought to himself, "In that case, it's time for me to return to the primordial universe."
"I haven't had a chance to pass on the inheritances I received from the Holy Weapon Sect to my clan yet."
For the past ten years, Chen Yuan has been organizing the core inheritances of the Sacred Weapon Sect and waiting for the optimization of the secret techniques to be completed. He hasn't had time to return to the original universe.
Now that the problem of the secret techniques has been solved, and he has seen enough of the Holy Weapon Sect's inheritance, with nothing else to do, he might as well return to his hometown and pass on these secret techniques.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's figure vanished instantly.
The next second, in the primeval secret realm, the Qianbao River area.
Chen Yuan appeared directly in his palace, and then without hesitation, he went straight to the Dark Lord's residence.
"teacher."
The Lord of Darkness's true form was still in seclusion, but his avatar was awake. Upon seeing Chen Yuan, he exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Yuan? You've finished your seclusion?"
"Yes," Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "After ten thousand years of seclusion, I have finally achieved something."
"Ten thousand years————"
The Lord of Darkness's expression was somewhat strange: "You didn't start calculating this time from after unifying the primordial universe, did you?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan looked puzzled. "Is there a problem, teacher?"
'
The Lord of Darkness took a deep breath: "You call that period 'seclusion'? Don't your avatars frequently appear to guide the development of various races in the universe?"
During the more than 10,000 years that Chen Yuan was in seclusion, because there was not much pressure in the early stages of his research on the path to divine power, Chen Yuan's connection with the outside world was not completely severed.
In his spare time, he would still send his avatars back to the original universe to check on the development of various races and provide guidance.
Therefore, not only did the Lord of Darkness think so, but even the powerful figures from other races did not believe that Chen Yuan's state constituted seclusion.
"Isn't the so-called seclusion supposed to be about cutting off all external connections and focusing solely on cultivation, just like you did over a thousand years ago?"
The Lord of Darkness couldn't help but say, "So you're saying you spent the previous ten thousand years in seclusion?"
"Ah—of course."
Chen Yuan chuckled: "Teacher, I have indeed devoted myself to serious cultivation over the years. It's just that my consciousness is strong, so I still have the energy to do other things in addition to my arduous cultivation."
"----All right."
Considering his disciple's past performance, the Lord of Darkness had no choice but to accept this explanation. He then shook his head and said, "I won't ask about your gains over the years. You should also be careful about keeping things confidential."
"Given your current status, apart from Giant Axe and the Primordial Ancestor, no one else is qualified to know about your cultivation progress. Appropriate secrecy can also stabilize the situation between the various races."
Chen Yuan nodded.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go find Giant Axe, Primal Ancestor, and the others."
The Lord of Darkness waved his hand, "My true form is still in seclusion and I don't have much energy for idle chatter. Don't bother me with matters concerning the race."
"Uh." Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Teacher, I do have something to tell you."
Subsequently, he decisively and concisely informed the Lord of Darkness about the Holy Weapon Sect's inheritance, including the fact that some core inheritances could be passed on to outsiders.
After hearing this, the Lord of Darkness blinked, looking somewhat bewildered: "Wait, you mean you've found another ancient civilization that's no less powerful than the Broken East River?"
"And besides the two most core lineages, all other lineages can be passed on without restriction?"
"That's right." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Hiss—wait a minute." The avatar of the Lord of Darkness suddenly gasped, swayed, and then a burst of energy erupted from the depths of the hall.
The next second, a bald figure in black rushed out; it was none other than the Dark Lord himself, who was in seclusion.
Clearly, after hearing this news, he no longer intended to go into seclusion.
"Alright, tell me in detail." The Lord of Darkness took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yuan solemnly: "Weren't you in seclusion in the Cosmic Sea? How come you suddenly inherited the legacy of an ancient civilization?"
"Do you think the inheritance of ancient civilizations is as common as cabbage?" the Lord of Darkness thought to himself, utterly astonished by the news.
Putting aside everything else, the legacy of the Broken East River alone had a profound impact on all races in the primordial universe.
Over the course of more than an era, guided by the legacy, countless powerful figures from various races have emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Now Chen Yuan tells him that there is another inheritance that is no less than that of Duan Donghe, which has also been inherited by his disciple. Moreover, this inheritance is extremely generous, and is even willing to spread the core inheritance to the outside world.
Even though Chen Yuan had caused many miracles in the past, this news still left the Lord of Darkness somewhat bewildered.
"Teacher, it's like this—"
Chen Yuan was about to explain the background of obtaining the Holy Weapon Sect's inheritance when the Lord of Darkness waved his hand again: "Wait a minute."
Seeing his disciple stop, the Lord of Darkness explained, "I just sent messages to the Primordial Ancestor, Giant Axe, and Chaos. This matter has quite an impact, and Master and Giant Axe should know about it."
"As for chaos—"
The Lord of Darkness paused, then continued, "After all, he was the actual manager of the Virtual Universe Company, and was once regarded as the successor of the Giant Axe, holding an extraordinary position among humans."
"I hope you don't mind me calling him over?"
"Of course not." Chen Yuan shook his head. Although the Lord of Chaos City was not his teacher, he held an extremely special position among the human race and was an absolute core figure.
These individuals have the right to be the first to know any major news concerning the human race.
"That's good." The Lord of Darkness breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although Chen Yuan was his disciple, the other party's current status was extraordinary, and he could no longer view him with the same eyes as before, so he naturally became more cautious in his words.
This is not because the relationship between master and disciple has become distant, but because the change in their status has forced the Lord of Darkness to change their way of getting along.
Fortunately, although Chen Yuan's strength was already extraordinary, his personality remained the same as before, and he still treated his teacher with respect.
This warmed the Lord of Darkness's heart, bringing back some of the feelings he had shared with him in the past.
So the master and disciple waited in the main hall. Before long, three figures arrived almost at the same time: Giant Axe, Primordial Ancestor, and Lord of Chaos City.
