Chapter 352 True God-Level Treasure Refining Technique, Luo Feng Leaves
The ancestor did not comment on his grand-disciple's boastful words, but only advised: "Remember not to take action before you are absolutely certain."
"Disciple understands."
Chen Yuan nodded; he certainly wouldn't act rashly.
To put it bluntly, his purpose in unifying the original universe was simply to promote the virtual universe and facilitate the evolution of secret techniques.
The most fundamental reason was for his own cultivation. The so-called unification of the universe was just a means of cultivation, and in Chen Yuan's eyes, it was no different from other cultivation methods.
So he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Leaving aside why he was so keen on cultivating the powerful secret technique of the virtual universe, one important reason was that he wanted to prepare for future research on the Great Dao of the Soul.
With the "soul binding" function, according to Master Zuoshanke, there is a high probability that some kind of branch of the Great Dao of the Soul is hidden here, waiting for him to explore.
However, while he had a reference point for studying the Great Dao, he still lacked a vessel for the power of the Great Dao. To put it simply, he needed a secret technique related to the soul to carry the power of the Great Dao.
This secret technique, created by the original ancestor, stumbled upon the flawed path of the soul, perfectly meeting Chen Yuan's needs.
Therefore, the two hit it off immediately on this matter.
The Primordial Ancestor needed Chen Yuan's speed in researching secret techniques to accelerate his own improvement and prepare for breaking free from the suppression. Chen Yuan also needed a soul-related secret technique to serve as the carrier of the Great Dao of the Soul.
Of course, the grade of this secret technique cannot be too low; at least the Void level is far from sufficient.
Therefore, before studying the Great Dao of the Soul, Chen Yuan needs to advance the virtual universe to a higher level, at least to the level of the Eternal True God.
He wasn't worried about improving the grade of the secret technique, since everything was optimized by the system. But how the optimized secret technique would grow was up to Chen Yuan's skill.
Because the virtual universe is clearly different from other secret techniques, relying solely on one person to fill in the data, he could never perfect the secret technique even if he cultivated it until the end of time.
Therefore, in the early stages, arcane techniques must rely on the primordial virtual universe to absorb the other party's data for growth.
However, the original ancestor's help is also limited. In the later stages, when he pushes the secret technique to the level of Void True God or Eternal True God, he will need to rely on himself to promote the advancement of the secret technique.
At that time, the fastest way to cultivate was naturally to gather the power of the masses and have all life in the universe work for him.
After confirming that everything was normal on Irene's side and that the virtual universe was steadily improving, Chen Yuan discussed the follow-up arrangements with the Primordial Ancestor before taking his leave.
Under the control of the AI left behind by Ireil, the Primordial Palace continues to maintain a stable 3500-fold time acceleration.
After returning from the virtual universe, Chen Yuan took out the Star Tower and went inside, where he found the avatar of Master Zuoshanke.
"teacher."
Chen Yuan took out the supreme treasure armor "True Martial" that he had forged for the giant axe, and said with a happy face, "Disciple has successfully forged the supreme treasure, look."
"oh?!"
Compared to the shock the progenitor felt upon hearing the news, the Mountain Dweller was much calmer, only slightly surprised: "You finished it so quickly, it's only been 300,000 years."
He had long anticipated his disciple's breakthrough in treasure-refining techniques. As a God-King, the Mountain-Sitting Guest would not be bound by the rules of the Universe Sea.
The idea that one cannot attain true godhood and therefore possess power beyond their control is a joke in his eyes.
Can a genius who can't even achieve cross-boundary comprehension be called a genius?
However, Chen Yuan's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations, because the speed was too fast.
He had originally expected that it would take the other party at least fifty years to break through, but he did not expect that Chen Yuan would succeed in just thirty years.
"The art of refining treasures isn't a secret technique, so Chen Yuan's talent shouldn't be able to achieve any effect."
The mountain dweller thought to himself, "My disciple must have other secrets."
After he took the True Martial Armor from Chen Yuan and examined it carefully, he became even more certain of his guess.
Because the crafting technique of this supreme treasure is as perfect as ever, especially the smelting of materials, which is flawless.
This perfection is something that Zuoshanke has seen many times in Chen Yuanlian's works, mainly in the material smelting process.
His apprentice possessed some unknown skill, enabling him to perfectly refine all the materials each time, laying the strongest foundation for the entire treasure-refining process.
It should be noted that even if the Mountain Guest himself were to perform this process, he could not guarantee that there would be no mistakes each time, because due to the limitations of his cultivation level, he could not use many of the treasure refining techniques he had mastered.
In other words, in terms of the methods of smelting materials, he, the Mountain Guest, was no different from other treasure refiners. He relied on divine power to sense the smelting state and, at most, on his excellent experience, he could ensure the completion of most of the smelting.
Therefore, after seeing that Chen Yuan could perfectly melt materials every time, the Mountain Guest guessed that his disciple must have mastered some special method, but it was still uncertain whether it was a talent or a secret technique.
Of course, as I said before, he didn't care what Chen Yuan was hiding, as long as the other party could become stronger.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Yuan's performance is very satisfactory to him.
"It seems that my disciple is indeed very talented in the art of refining magical artifacts."
"Perhaps I should give it a proper makeover?"
The mountain dweller's previous thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not express them on his face.
Even if he were to teach Chen Yuan a higher level of treasure refining techniques, he wouldn't use this identity to teach him directly. At most, he would pretend to be from an "ancient civilization" and then instruct his disciple to go and obtain it.
Of course, only treasure refining techniques at the Void True God level or above can be considered as a treasure refining inheritance. As for True God level techniques, there is no problem with him demonstrating them.
"This piece is absolutely perfect. It seems you have indeed mastered the crafting of the most powerful treasures."
The mountain dweller returned "True Martial Battle Shen" to Chen Yuan, praising him, "Not bad, at this level, you have at least learned ninety percent of my skills."
"Teacher, you flatter me."
Chen Yuan responded modestly, but inwardly he thought, "Nine-tenths of you are capable? I don't believe you for a second."
Seeing the sincere expression on the mountain hermit's face, if he hadn't known his teacher's background beforehand, he might have been fooled and become complacent in his praise.
But if he chose to become the other party's disciple, how could he be satisfied with just learning the True God-level treasure refining technique?
Having finally managed to become the disciple of a god-king, he insisted on extracting every secret from him.
So Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "Teacher, I only realized after my breakthrough that the Treasure Refining lineage is the Great Dao, and there must be even higher levels of content beyond it."
"The skills I have mastered so far are at most a rudimentary understanding, and I am not worthy of praise."
"Teacher, you have been immersed in the art of treasure refining for so many years, you must be a master in this field. I hope you can give me some guidance."
"You, you're bragging about me now." The Mountain Guest shook his head, looking helpless. "Although I consider myself to have some skills, it's just because I was born earlier. In reality, I only have more experience than you, but our skill levels are the same."
"If I could break through this barrier and refine a secret treasure that surpasses even the most powerful treasures, I would have already broken through to become the strongest in the universe and entered the cycle of reincarnation. Why would I stay here?"
While admiring his teacher's acting skills, Chen Yuan nodded repeatedly, "I understand, teacher."
"This disciple is not greedy; I only hope to learn more skills from my teacher."
"When I achieve a breakthrough in the future, I will repay my teacher and help him overcome his bottlenecks."
He thought to himself, since Master Zuoshanke wanted to conceal his identity, he probably wouldn't personally teach him the Void True God level treasure refining technique, otherwise wouldn't that be an admission of guilt?
Even if a teacher were to teach, it would probably be through a transfer method, such as creating a historical site or something, and handing over the inheritance to him.
"Alright then."
The mountain dweller pretended to be no disciple, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "What you said makes sense. Although there is no difference in the level of our treasure refining techniques, your teacher has lived for so long and has more experience than you."
"In that case, listen carefully."
"Yes!" Chen Yuan nodded, then listened attentively to the explanation from the mountain dweller.
Time flies by, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, the Mountain Hermit has been teaching Chen Yuan the experience of refining treasures at the True God level, including many treasure-refining techniques, such as the method of refining the weapon-refining cauldron that Chen Yuan has always longed for.
Chen Yuan discovered that the teacher's narration was fragmented and somewhat inconsistent. One second he was teaching the special techniques for drawing secret patterns, and the next second he was jumping to how to hide the traces of refining.
This knowledge seems unrelated, and appears to be just some teachers' experience, not a systematic approach.
But Chen Yuan knew the teacher's true identity and understood that there must be some deeper meaning behind the other party's behavior.
After deep thought, he finally pieced together all this information and understood the true purpose of Teacher Zuoshanke.
"This knowledge can actually be pieced together to form a complete True God-level treasure-refining inheritance?"
Chen Yuan's heart stirred. Although he lacked a lot of knowledge, he had all the key skills.
In other words, as long as he puts in the effort to study, the missing parts can be researched and he can continue to improve his treasure refining skills until he reaches the peak of the True God level. "Teacher Zuoshanke really went to great lengths to conceal his identity."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I must say, the Mountain Hermit has hidden himself very well."
If he hadn't observed carefully with a skeptical attitude from the beginning, and instead regarded his teacher as an ordinary true god, he might not have noticed anything unusual even when he perfected the art of refining treasures, and would have thought it was all the result of his own painstaking research.
In fact, the Mountain-Sitting Guest had already built the entire framework of the True God-level Treasure Refining Technique; all Chen Yuan needed to do was fill in the gaps.
"Alright, disciple."
Just then, the mountain hermit finally stopped, shook his head and said, "I have already taught you all the techniques I have mastered. How you explore from here on out is entirely up to you."
Chen Yuan knew that the teacher had already given all the key information, and there was no need to say anything more.
"This disciple thanks the teacher for imparting his knowledge."
Chen Yuan bowed deeply.
"Alright, go ahead." The Mountain Guest smiled. "My avatar will remain here. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always come to me."
"Although I may not be able to answer these questions, it's always better to brainstorm than for you to study them alone."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded. "Goodbye, teacher."
After leaving the Star Tower, he immediately opened the control panel and instructed, "System, using Master Zuoshanke's explanation as a framework, optimize the True God-level Treasure Refining Technique. Refine the details and increase the probability of triggering 'Enlightenment'."
"And abandon universality, take my opinion as the standard."
[Task creation in progress. Optimization target: True God-level Treasure Refining Technique. Optimization direction: Complete information, increase the probability of sudden enlightenment, and abandon universality, based on the host's condition.]
[This task requires 99 billion units of primal energy. Shall we begin the simulation?]
"Let's begin," Chen Yuan ordered directly. The so-called enlightenment was actually an increase in the ability to comprehend the secret patterns of the treasure during the treasure refining process.
Although the secret runes on the treasure share the same origin as the eight fundamental runes of the universe that Chen Yuan comprehended, they follow different directions.
The essence of these secret patterns that Chen Yuan comprehended was mostly used in secret techniques, while the secret patterns drawn on the treasures were mostly "innate secret patterns" that he learned from various treasure materials.
Because of the different paths, Chen Yuan knew the appearance of these secret patterns but not the reason behind them.
However, the two are ultimately from the same source and have many things in common. During the process of refining treasures, Chen Yuan would sometimes suddenly realize the true meaning of a certain secret pattern.
Just like when he was forging the 'True Martial Armor', it was because he suddenly comprehended the meaning of a certain True God-level secret rune that his treasure forging technique was able to break through successfully.
His mastery of these precious runes, acquired through a long period of study, will eventually be applied to secret techniques.
This is why the Primordial Ancestor was so certain that Chen Yuan would be able to break through to become the strongest in the universe—he had already mastered the Dao at the True God level.
The optimization time for the True God Refining Treasure Technique is slightly shorter than that of the Virtual Universe, about nine years. Adding the rehearsal time, it's eighteen years. Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry and continued to cultivate at his own pace. In this state, eighteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
Subsequently, he obtained the complete True God-level Treasure Refining Technique, and without hesitation, he immediately began to cultivate it according to the records.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two hundred years have passed in the primordial universe.
On this day, Chen Yuan welcomed another guest to his mansion in the Primal Secret Realm—Luo Feng!
"Have you completed your cultivation?"
Chen Yuan sensed Luo Feng's aura and found that it was indeed much stronger.
"Yes, thanks to the Nine Prisons Tower you gave me, after a hundred years of seclusion (the time of Chaos City), my secret techniques and laws have finally achieved a breakthrough."
Luo Feng grinned, looking very pleased: "By the way, I've already mastered the third level of your Nine Prisons Tower!"
"Congratulations." Chen Yuan smiled slightly. "In just over a hundred years, your will has reached the level of a high-ranking king. I was right about you. In just a hundred years, you have risen from the initial stage of kingship to the level of a high-ranking king. This speed is truly remarkable."
"Thanks to the trials of the Nine Hell Tower."
Luo Feng sighed, "Not only the Nine Hell Tower's test, but even the illusion of the Thousand Heart Domain was very useful, otherwise my will would not have broken through in such a short time."
"Then you should work hard and try to master this treasure as soon as possible."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "By the way, you're preparing to go out for training now, right? Have you come to retrieve your Wu-Slaying Wings?"
"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.
"Perfect timing. I've finished studying this treasure. You can keep it."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan took out the Wu-killing Wings. "This extra pair of wings is a thank-you gift for lending me this treasure. You don't need to return it."
Luo Feng was startled when he saw the four-winged treasure in Chen Yuan's hand.
