Chapter 361 The Ultimate Path! Luo Feng Breaks Through!
"It's actually an eighth-tier secret technique?"
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised.
He originally thought that even if he could create a true god-level secret technique, it would be quite good if it reached the seventh rank.
Eighth rank? That already belongs to the mid-stage of True God.
"This secret technique—" Chen Yuan sensed the combination of runes in the technique again and was immediately shocked: "Wait, these rune combinations actually account for 90% of all the True God-level runes I've learned over the years!"
It should be noted that over the years, his consciousness clone in the virtual universe has been continuously practicing the art of refining treasures, and has already mastered a considerable amount of the True Mystic Runes.
With the support of computing power in the virtual universe, all of these runes can now be applied to arcane techniques.
Now his treasure-refining skills are sufficient to reliably produce level seven supreme treasures.
Therefore, it's not surprising that if all these runes were applied to secret techniques, it would be possible to create secret techniques of the same level. "This is also thanks to the help of the rune pattern school."
Chen Yuan knew that with his current understanding of the laws, let alone creating a true god-level secret technique, even creating a secret technique for the master of the universe would be extremely difficult.
However, through the infinite combinations of rune patterns, the more runes he masters, the greater the probability of ultimately creating a powerful secret technique.
However, the fact that he was able to create an eighth-order secret technique directly this time was beyond Chen Yuan's expectations. He could only say that he was very lucky and happened to choose a powerful combination of secret runes.
So many divine-level runes were used that the parts that originally belonged to the three strongest secret techniques only accounted for one percent of all the runes.
The remaining 99 percent were all True Mystic Runes he learned while refining treasures.
That's why they were able to create secret techniques that surpassed the level of ordinary true gods.
"However, the effect of this secret technique is beyond expectations."
Chen Yuan slightly activated a wisp of divine power, and with a gentle tap of his finger in the void, a small 'black hole' appeared and disappeared in an instant.
He was testing the properties of this secret technique.
Just like the scope of "One Thought of the Void", the ultimate destructive power of "The Great Destruction", and the singularity explosion of "Shattering the Void", each arcane technique has its own unique characteristics.
The same goes for this new, nameless secret technique.
What surprised Chen Yuan slightly was that the characteristics of this new secret technique were completely different from what he had imagined.
"I originally thought that the fusion of the three secret techniques would lead to the 'opening up of the world,' but the result is completely the opposite?"
Just like the "Destruction Sword Domain" he created back then, it integrates the destructive power of the Great Cataclysm into the void domain, forming a domain with destructive properties.
The Destruction Sword Domain possesses all the characteristics of a domain secret technique, and can also gather the power of the entire domain to unleash a world-destroying strike. It is a secret technique that combines the strongest single-target attack with the strongest range.
According to Chen Yuan's initial idea, it was a rebirth after destruction.
After incorporating "Shatter the Void" into the Destruction Sword Domain, it uses the power of its singularity explosion to sublimate the destroyed realm into a true universe.
Indeed, his true purpose was to create a universe, a simplified version of the Eternal True God's "One Thought Universe." However, Chen Yuan did not expect that after this secret method was created, the effect would be completely different. Instead of developing towards the creation of a universe, it chose to concentrate all the power into a single point.
"No, that's not right either. This power doesn't just forcefully gather strength; it's more like—"
After a moment's thought, Chen Yuan finally came up with a description that fit the characteristics of the secret technique: "Tracing back to the origin?"
Yes, the effect of this secret technique is to return all power to its original state, like the 'singularity' before the universe was created.
"One is the origin of the universe, and the other is the perfect universe; their essence is actually no different."
Just as everything in the universe originated from the explosion of the initial 'singularity'.
According to the law of conservation of energy, matter cannot be created out of thin air, so the mass of a singularity should be exactly the same as that of a universe.
Therefore, this new secret technique is of such a high grade, completely comparable to the "One Thought Universe" secret technique that Chen Yuan had anticipated.
"The effect of this secret technique is to create a 'singularity' with a fixed form."
"Singularities possess the property of being indestructible and can penetrate all defenses."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "This ability is very similar to the 'Extreme Point Great Dao,' one of the nine Great Daos of the Origin World."
"Or perhaps, the secret technique I created inadvertently led me to the ultimate path?"
Of course, his secret technique was only at the eighth level, far from the true Great Dao, and could only be said to have touched the edge.
It can only be said that if Chen Yuan continues to research in this direction and elevates it to the level of an Eternal True God or even a Chaos Ruler, he will have the hope of comprehending a branch of the Great Dao of the Extreme Point.
"I never imagined that I would come into contact with so much content related to the Great Dao without even realizing it."
Chen Yuan was somewhat speechless. He had initially only intended to follow the "path of birth and death" based on the experience in the original work.
Before he could even grasp the paths of life and destruction, he had already touched upon the two directions of mind and soul, resulting in the emergence of another extreme path.
For a moment, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have a thought: Has he come into contact with too many Great Daos? Counting the life and destruction that he is destined to come into contact with in the future, he has already reached five Great Daos.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea.
"Never mind, with the optimization system in place, I refuse to believe there will be any insurmountable obstacles in the future."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "Let's get the benefits first. As for whether or not we should try to comprehend the Great Dao of Ultimate Points later, we'll consider that then."
Anyway, he wouldn't give up this newly created eighth-order secret technique.
"Next, let's give this secret technique a name."
Chen Yuan opened the panel, looked at the three words "[Unnamed]" in the Secret Techniques section, and fell into deep thought.
"Since it is a secret technique related to the Great Dao of the Extreme Point, it must include the word 'Extreme Point,' and the suffix should be related to the characteristics of the secret technique."
"The characteristics of the secret technique—a black hole? A polar black hole?"
As soon as the idea came to him, he shook his head repeatedly. Even though he wasn't good at naming things, he could tell that Extreme Black Hole was just too awful to hear.
"Moreover, the manifestation of this secret technique is not a 'black hole,' but rather the very origin of the universe."
"The reason it appears as a black hole is simply because it is limited by the rules of the original universe, which prevents the full power of the secret technique from being displayed."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yuan finally decided on the name of the secret technique: "Let's call it 'Extreme Point Sword Aura'."
When fighting enemies, he certainly wouldn't fight empty-handed. Even if he wanted to use secret techniques, he could use weapons, and Chen Yuan's most proficient weapon was naturally the sword.
Combining the extreme point with the sword, Chen Yuan came up with this name.
That's fine.
With a thought, the name of the secret technique on the panel changed to [Extreme Point Sword Aura].
"The rest of the time will be spent further refining the secret technique."
Although the Extreme Point Sword Aura is already at the eighth rank, there is still a lot of room for further growth.
As Chen Yuan masters more and more True God-level runes, the combination of runes for the Extreme Point Sword Aura can continue to be improved, and it is possible to break through all the way to the peak of the ninth-order secret technique.
This is the advantage of the Mystic Rune school: it doesn't require a high level of understanding of the laws. As long as you master more and stronger mystic runes, you can create powerful mystic techniques through infinite combinations.
At the same time, studying the secret runes will also improve one's own cultivation level.
When one's level of understanding is high enough, and one looks back to comprehend the laws, one will find that these originally obscure and difficult laws have become incredibly simple, and with a little comprehension one can make rapid progress.
Just like when Luo Feng participated in the trial of Duan Donghe, after creating the "Cosmos of Metal" through the secret pattern flow, he studied the laws in reverse and comprehended the laws of space and the five elements to a near-perfect degree in a very short time.
Chen Yuan was the same. Not to mention the "Extreme Sword Light" he created this time, back when he perfected the "Destruction Sword Domain" to the limit of the universe master, he went back to study those lower-level laws, and his efficiency was already at its peak.
Of the original eight lower-level laws, he had only fully comprehended the law of wind. He was just one step away from mastering most of the other lower-level laws, and he had only reached 60% of the law of thunder, which was not even recognized.
Now, including the Law of Thunder, Chen Yuan has fully comprehended all eight lower-level laws, and even his mastery of the Law of Spacetime has reached the peak of the King-level. Once he finishes sorting it out, he can break through to the Universe Venerable.
As for the time required to organize the rules...
"Feed".
Chen Yuan suddenly let out a soft sound.
Having just finished testing the secret technique and preparing to continue his cultivation, he was surprised to find that the previously chaotic 'lines of law' around him had become much more orderly.
"Is it because of the Extreme Point Sword Aura?"
When he created this eighth-order secret technique, he incorporated the complete Ten Great Laws runes.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he was affected by the secret technique, and his originally chaotic power of laws was directly sorted out by the aura of the secret technique.
"Not bad, I didn't expect that creating an eighth-order secret technique would have this effect."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "The birth of the Extreme Point Sword Light has saved me almost three hundred years of effort."
"Now, at most five hundred years, I will be able to sort out my own laws and then break through to the Universe Venerable."
It's worth noting that when he was optimizing the "Primordial Secret Records," it took him five thousand years to complete.
Only 1,900 years have passed, and his work is already nearing completion, saving him half the time, which naturally makes him happy.
"Let's keep up the good work and see if further improvements to 'Extreme Sword' will shorten the development process."
With this in mind, Chen Yuan once again entered a state of focused cultivation.
Time continued to pass, and somewhat regrettably, because he had almost exhausted his secret rune foundation when creating the Extreme Sword Aura, his progress in perfecting the secret technique was not as rapid as it had been at the beginning.
The most critical issue is that the progress of the treasure-refining technique restricts the improvement of the secret method.
As his Treasure Refining Technique neared perfection, the number of new runes he could produce decreased, not only because the rate of improvement slowed down, but also because high-level runes were scarce.
Without the addition of new secret runes, Chen Yuan was like a skilled cook without rice; even with his rapid thinking speed, it was of no use.
However, as the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. Although progress in the secret techniques was slow, Chen Yuan made a breakthrough in another cultivation task.
Nearly a century after the creation of "Extreme Sword Aura", with the help of the Star Tower and the Nameless Sword Embryo, Chen Yuan's "Eye of Primordial Beginning" finally broke through again and successfully entered the fourth realm, which corresponds to the level of the Eternal True God.
It was at this moment that Chen Yuan discovered that he could finally glimpse the power at the level of the Great Dao.
Although it still looked very blurry, Chen Yuan finally saw the power of "soul binding" in some items. Just as the Mountain Hermit said, this was one of the branches of the Great Dao of Souls, or even more than one.
"illusory·--"
Chen Yuan muttered to himself, "That's right, he actually saw the illusory Great Dao through the soul binding."
He guessed that perhaps it was because of the secret techniques of the virtual universe that he was able to glimpse the power of the Great Dao that shared the same origin.
Besides the illusory branch, Chen Yuan also vaguely sensed the existence of other branches, but due to the low level of the Primordial Eye, he could only detect a trace.
Want to glimpse the complete Great Dao? Don't even think about it!
Let alone other branches, even the seemingly clearest illusory branch was extremely blurry to Chen Yuan, making it impossible for him to even begin cultivating through it.
"I can see it, but I can't understand it."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. Rather than continuing to waste time on this, it would be better to continue improving the Primordial Eye.
As long as this secret technique is of a high enough level, he will one day be able to see the clear origin of the Great Dao.
For him, the breakthrough of the Primordial Eye was certainly a pleasant surprise, but it could not bring about a qualitative change in his cultivation for the time being.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only paid attention to it briefly before returning to his cultivation.
Time flies, and two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At this point, there were less than two hundred years left before Chen Yuan finished sorting out the laws.
However, on this day, he unusually put aside his cultivation, because he actually received a call from Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng contacted me so quickly? It's only been three hundred years since we last met, hasn't it?"
Thinking of their previous agreement, Chen Yuan blinked, somewhat incredulous: "Could it be that he has completely taken control of the Nine Prisons Tower?!"
You should know that the trials he designed for the Nine Prisons Tower required the will of a high-level Venerable to complete!
In other words, if Luo Feng had not yet broken through to immortality, he would already be fully qualified to be recognized as the master of the Star Tower.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out once you accept the call."
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and answered the call. The next second, Luo Feng's figure appeared on the screen.
"Chen Yuan!"
In the video, Luo Feng greets the viewer with a smile on his face.
Looking through the screen, Chen Yuan saw that the other party did not seem as sharp and aggressive as before, and his temperament had become more reserved.
But this does not mean that Luo Feng's will has weakened. On the contrary, it is precisely because of his extremely strong mental will that he is able to control his body perfectly without revealing a trace of pressure.
"Luo Feng." Chen Yuan smiled. "You've changed a lot in three hundred years."
"Let me guess, you contacted me this time because you've already completed the Nine Hells Tower trial?"
In the video, Luo Feng paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.
"I can't hide it from you after all."
