Chapter 425 The Essence of Secret Runes: Treasure Refining and Divine Power Path
After the Broken East River completely dissipated, the inheritance mark on Chen Yuan's forehead suddenly appeared and resonated with the entire inheritance space.
Chen Yuan understood that this space was automatically recognizing him, the current inheritor, as the master after Duan Donghe completely relinquished control.
A burst of black and white light appeared from the horizon and quickly enveloped Chen Yuan, eventually settling into the inheritance mark between his eyebrows. Then he could feel that he had mastered all the power of this space.
From this moment on, Chen Yuan became the new master of this inheritance space!
The spaces that Duan Donghe had just led him through were now all within his perception, and he could open a spatial gate at any time to go to any of them.
However, he was not in a hurry, since he still knew very little about the entire inheritance space.
Looking at the memory stone left behind by Duan Donghe in his hand, Chen Yuan immediately began to receive the information within it without thinking.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, and at that moment he finally had a sufficient understanding of this space.
"Unexpectedly, the inheritance space, after being transformed by the three generations of patriarchs, has reached the Chaos level in overall quality."
A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face. A massive Chaos-level creation, how much data must be contained inside?
Now, his Primordial Eye will likely have no shortage of upgrade experience before reaching the sixth rank (God King level).
No, it probably won't even be a small amount of experience required for leveling up to the sixth rank.
Because Chen Yuan remembered that there was a treasure space in the inheritance space, which contained 322 treasures, and in terms of value, these treasures could be compared with the treasures of the God-King level!
Of course, this is only the value determined by Duan Donghe. In reality, if we consider the true grade of the treasure, at least half of them are probably not even God-King level. They are just rare in function and extremely valuable.
Only treasures like the "Primordial Embryo" possess the essence of a God-King, providing the Primordial Eye with sixth-order growth experience.
"But even if it's only half, it should be enough, after all, I still have the Star Tower."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "As long as my Primordial Eye can enter the seventh level—no, perhaps only halfway through the sixth level—perhaps I will be able to observe that blood-red scale deep within the Star Tower."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
Thanks to the inheritance of the Broken East River, he had the opportunity to greatly improve his proficiency with the Primordial Eye.
It will be at least ten thousand years before Luo Feng leaves the Beast God Realm. In that long period of time, he might actually be able to finish collecting information on the Ancestral Bloodscale.
By then, the Star Tower will be of no value to him.
"There's still plenty of time. Let the Soul Devouring Beast clone finish collecting all the data on the black-patterned stone pillars first."
Chen Yuan shook his head. During the assessment at the Rhinoceros King Bureau, he needed to devote himself entirely to solving the puzzle, so the Soul Devouring Beast clone did not cultivate the Primordial Eye except to hone his will.
However, it's not a big problem. Given the time flow rate in the Black Pattern Stone Pillar area, he can analyze the secret patterns and stone pillar data very quickly.
Furthermore, the increasing amount of duplicate data in subsequent analyses further accelerated the data collection process.
According to Chen Yuan's estimate, it will take him no more than ten years to complete the analysis of all the relevant information about the black-patterned stone pillars. At that time, it will not be too late to go back and collect the data of the inheritance space.
During this period, he first reviewed the 12002 core inheritances of Duan Donghe, and then reviewed the information on the hundreds of millions of ordinary inheritances.
Of course, before that, he did not forget to use the system to optimize the three core inherited secret techniques.
Even though such a high-level secret technique would hardly add any new functions with the system's computing power, Chen Yuan didn't care. He only needed the optimized "perfect fit" effect.
This way, it can be ensured that as long as he puts in the effort, he will definitely be able to master the secret technique.
After sending the three secret techniques into the simulation space, Chen Yuan had a thought. He first took out the core inheritance from the bottom of the pond, then came to the cultivation space, accelerated the time to the maximum, and browsed through the contents of these inheritances one by one.
With the support of Ireil's computing power, he absorbed knowledge very quickly, and in just about six months, he had read through all 12002 core inheritances.
After Chen Yuan put down the last memory stone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy on his face.
Although he only skimmed through these inheritances, he still felt he benefited greatly, especially from the information they contained about close combat, treasure crafting, and the research on divine power paths, which brought him many pleasant surprises.
The main content of close combat inheritance is attack-type secret techniques, which are classified according to different weapons. Chen Yuan naturally chose the inheritance of close combat weapons - sword.
Although Chen Yuan had mastered two peak ninth-tier secret techniques, "Extreme Point Sword Aura" and "Space-Time Shock Blast," to put it bluntly, these two secret techniques were actually unorthodox methods.
The Extreme Point Sword Aura was accidentally fused from the innate secret techniques bestowed by the primordial universe, while the Spacetime Shockwave was created by dismantling and combining Void-level Spacetime Secret Runes; neither of these were normal methods.
Or rather, the Secret Pattern School itself is not the orthodox path; it is merely a research method explored by powerful beings in the Cosmic Sea.
This school of thought was indeed invincible in creating secret techniques below the level of a true god, but its methods became increasingly impoverished when it came to the level of a true god.
This is because as the rune level increases, the combinations that can be chosen become more varied and complex, and the results that can be achieved become fewer and fewer.
Chen Yuan was able to create two peak ninth-tier secret techniques by relying on the combination of secret patterns. One was because the foundation of the "perfect talent secret technique" bestowed by the original universe was too good, and the other was simply simplified from a higher level of secret patterns.
This method of creating secret techniques is quite different from the ordinary secret pattern school, and can be considered as Chen Yuan's partial innovation on the basis of secret pattern.
Ultimately, this school of thought can only be considered a side path in terms of the orthodox inheritance of the civilization that originated on the continent.
These large sects believe that starting from scratch and understanding the essence of the runes step by step is the right way. This way, the created secret techniques will have a much lower chance of being random, and the probability of creating powerful secret techniques will also increase.
Indeed, the method recorded in this inheritance is extremely similar to the method that Chen Yuan figured out on his own.
When he was comprehending the innate secret patterns in the Beast God Realm, he started from the essence, which is why he was able to create the strongest secret technique, Great Annihilation, even as a Realm Lord.
However, he encountered fewer and fewer useful runes later on, or the runes were too high-level, so he had to return to the ordinary rune pattern school and use the exhaustive method to combine runes.
Otherwise, with the Void True God-level secret runes he possessed, why would he only create a True God Peak secret technique? You must know that his initial goal was to research the "One Thought Universe".
To put it bluntly, it's because we haven't accumulated enough experience, so we have to settle for second best and first build a framework for a secret technique, which is the origin of the spacetime shockwave.
However, if he follows the method recorded in the inheritance and grasps the essence of the secret runes step by step to solidify his foundation, then as long as he can grasp the essence of the true god-level secret runes, he will have a great chance of sublimating "Space-Time Shock" into a higher level of secret technique.
"Due to my experience in the Beast God Realm, I have basically mastered the essence of the secret runes at the level of the Lord of the Universe, and I can directly start researching the secret runes at the level of the True God."
Chen Yuan said quietly, "Although the essence of the True Mystic Runes is more complex, I am no longer the same person I was when I was the Realm Lord. My thinking speed, comprehension, and time acceleration methods have all undergone earth-shattering changes."
"If we add the deduction of spacetime shockwaves," then we only need to focus on studying the secret runes of spacetime attributes, so the time required is even shorter than in the Beast God Realm."
He spent two hundred years of the primordial universe comprehending the Beast God Realm, but given Chen Yuan's current comprehension, it will only take him a hundred years at most to fully understand the essence of these True God-level spacetime runes!
In other words, a hundred years from now, he will most likely master the first offensive Void God-level secret technique!
"According to the methods of enlightenment recorded in the tradition, there are two types: dynamic and static."
Chen Yuan recalled the content of the close combat inheritance and thought to himself: "The mover is to become familiar with the secret runes through constant battles. During this time, no secret techniques are allowed to be used. Instead, secret techniques are used to attack by drawing the secret runes on the spot."
"Through intense and exciting battles, deepen your understanding of the Secret Runes and thereby comprehend their essence."
"This is a very novel approach; it's the first time I've ever heard of it."
Chen Yuan did not doubt the effectiveness of this method. After all, it must have something special to be included as one of the core elements of the Duan Donghe lineage.
only----
"It was also mentioned in the tradition that when studying the essence of secret patterns, one should choose a method that suits oneself."
Chen Yuan sighed inwardly.
He wasn't the type to be enthusiastic about combat. He studied runes through the "movement" lineage, which, while not impossible to improve, was by no means the most suitable method for him.
"The method that suits me best is the one of stillness."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Quietness does not refer to physical stillness, but rather to mental tranquility."
"But this kind of calm doesn't mean not thinking about anything at all. It means immersing yourself in it and focusing all your attention on this one thing."
He was very familiar with this method.
"Isn't this the first level of the state of forgetting oneself, the state of mind of forgetting oneself?"
Chen Yuan blinked.
He clearly remembered that when he broke through from embryonic breathing to sitting in oblivion, it was while creating the secret method that he accidentally entered this state of selflessness, and then he naturally completed the breakthrough in his spiritual realm.
He has now cultivated to the third level of the Sitting in Oblivion realm, and is extremely familiar with the first level's state of mind. That's why he said that the method of the Tranquility lineage is most suitable for him.
"Of course, according to the cultivation method of the Jing lineage, studying secret runes is not just about studying secret runes."
"It's best to find something you enjoy, something that allows you to immerse yourself in it. This will not only not affect your research on the secret runes, but will also complement it, allowing both to progress together."
There are no rules about what to do in the inheritance; you can do anything that you can be engrossed in, whether it's cooking, painting, calligraphy, or crafting.
Chen Yuan naturally chose to refine artifacts, which is to say, to refine treasures.
There's nothing strange about that.
Even cooks on the Origin Continent can become God-Kings. His teacher, the Mountain Guest, also became a God-King of the Jin Dynasty through weapon crafting. This shows that no matter what you do, as long as you can align with the Great Dao, you can eventually achieve something.
Although Chen Yuan wasn't particularly passionate about weapon crafting, his spiritual level allowed him to enter a state of "selflessness" at any time, without being bound by the premise of "liking" it.
His reason for choosing weapon forging was simply to pursue both simultaneously, without neglecting either aspect, thus achieving his goal of having both.
Fortunately, the lineage of Duan Donghe contains the inheritance of the art of weapon crafting.
Although he can only see the content at the limit of the True God realm now, through the system's transformation, he will be able to acquire the subsequent content within a year or two.
"The divine power path is quite comprehensive, with detailed research instructions recorded in the inheritance, allowing one to cultivate all the way to an infinite divine body representing ninety thousand times the genetic potential."
"Of course, this part should also be optimized to perfectly suit my needs."
The inheritance path only represents the possibility of cultivating an Infinite Divine Body, not a guarantee of success. Otherwise, Infinite Divine Bodies would not be so rare on the Origin Continent.
With perfect compatibility, he dared not say that he could achieve 100,000 times the genetic potential, but he was guaranteed at least an Infinite Divine Body. Moreover, it would reduce the difficulty of subsequent breakthroughs, so Chen Yuan naturally wanted to optimize it first.
After sending all the optimized inheritances into the simulation space, Chen Yuan found himself temporarily free, as he had nothing to cultivate for at least a year or two.
"Since that's the case—"
Chen Yuan blinked and instantly returned to the island in the middle of the lake. Then he looked out at the endless ocean beyond the island. Beneath this sea, there were hundreds of millions of ordinary inheritance memory stones.
"Since we're just idling around anyway, let's take a look at this part of the inheritance first. Besides increasing our own accumulation, this inheritance can also be provided to our race through the virtual universe."
With this thought in mind, Chen Yuan felt a slight movement, and instantly, the memory stones located deep in the endless ocean simultaneously rose into the air, leaving the surface of the sea and flying majestically towards him.
After collecting all the memory stones, Chen Yuan returned to the cultivation space and, with the help of the accelerated time here, digested the contents of these ordinary inheritances one by one.
In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had passed, and Chen Yuan had finished browsing through all these inheritances.
Yes, although there are many of these traditions, their content is actually not that much compared to the core traditions.
Therefore, even though there were hundreds of millions of these memory stones, Chen Yuan only needed three times the time to review all the inheritances.
"Compared to the core traditions, these basic traditions are indeed much simpler."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. Even if it's simple, it depends on who you compare it to.
Compared to the major powers in the cosmic sea, apart from the two holy lands, any one of these inheritances would be enough to make a race dominate a region.
Compared to that, the heritage possessed by their human race is far inferior.
"It just so happens that the core inheritances have been optimized during this period, so—"
Before Chen Yuan could make any move, he suddenly received an urgent email in the virtual universe, sent by Giant Axe.
Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback. He opened the email and saw that it read: "Chen Yuan, it is widely rumored that the Duan Donghe inheritance has ended and you have become the final inheritor."
"Be careful, the two holy lands have now completely joined forces to seize the Duan Donghe inheritance from you while you are away!"
"The Divine Eye Clan has also joined the ranks of those attacking you; six of the seven True Lords have come! They are determined to kill you!"
"If you are not sure, you must not leave the Tomb Ship."
After reading the email, Chen Yuan explored the virtual universe and found that nearly two hundred universe lords and eight true gods had gathered outside the Tomb Ship!
