However, it is not an easy task for Chen Yuan to comprehend the fusion of other laws with just this talent secret technique.
First, the basic requirements for comprehending the laws must be met. In order to truly achieve the fusion of a law, one must first comprehend the relevant laws to the point of perfection!
In other words, a lower-level law must reach the level of the tenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and a higher-level law must reach the level of the 21st level of the Bridge to Heaven, before it can serve as the foundation for a perfect fusion law.
For example, Chen Yuan's forte is the fusion of wind and time laws. Only after fully comprehending it and reaching a level comparable to the Lord of the Universe can one be said to have truly mastered this path of law fusion.
However, for the ultimate goal of integrating the ten laws, this is only the most basic first step.
To comprehend the fusion of ten laws, one must begin with the most basic fusion of two laws, and there are as many as 45 ways to fuse just two laws!
Only after mastering the fusion routes of all two laws can one attempt to fuse all three laws.
As we all know, different laws are mutually exclusive, and the more laws are combined, the greater the repulsive force they face.
With each additional law incorporated, the difficulty increases exponentially.
Not to mention that after mastering the fusion of the three laws, one still needs to master 120 fusion routes to complete this stage.
Then, the fusion of the four laws, the fusion of the five laws, and finally the fusion of the ten laws, gave rise to the Chaos Laws, which laid the foundation for the Chaos Ruler.
The Nine-Hua Abyss Whale's innate secret technique, "Nine-Hua Abyss Light," can at most only serve as an aid in learning the fusion of the two laws.
To think that one could master the fusion of the ten laws with just this one talent technique is wishful thinking.
Therefore, the Mountain Dweller's assessment of this talent was "somewhat interesting" rather than "crucial."
"Therefore, studying the laws of fusion is acceptable, but it is not the most urgent matter at present."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "I must first comprehend all the laws before I can begin to try combining and fusing different laws."
"As for now, the greatest use of the Abyss Whale clone for me is to comprehend the eight fundamental laws—of course, I must remember to leave one law unacknowledged by the Origin."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan, the giant whale, ended the test of the innate secret technique and prepared to find a suitable place to comprehend the basic laws.
"According to the inherited information in my mind, the Jiuhua Abyss Whale is best suited to stay in areas with high concentrations of energy, preferably in a liquid environment."
Just then, he noticed his blood-sea clone billions of kilometers below, so without hesitation, he plunged into the blood-sea, rolled around comfortably inside, and then poked his head out.
"It feels so good, and the clarity of the surrounding laws seems to have reached a new level."
Indeed, although the Jiuhua Abyss Whale, as an energy-type life form, has high requirements for its environment, once a suitable environment is found, the special environment can further stimulate the abyss whale's innate talents in law.
His Blood Sea clone transformed into a vast ocean spanning billions of kilometers, with every drop of seawater containing a wealth of energy, making it the ideal habitat for the Abyss Whale clone.
After resolving the issue of placing the Abyss Whale clone, Chen Yuan turned his attention back to the Beast God Realm, where the system's collection of secret technique data had entered its final stage.
A year later, watching the system collect the last secret technique, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over."
He never expected that he would find himself in such a blissful predicament.
The system's collection of various data is a good thing, but this time the collection time was indeed a bit too long, taking a full three hundred years.
"However, the results are indeed quite significant."
In the simulated space, Chen Yuan's consciousness looked at the mystical patterns formed by laws filling the sky and couldn't help but smile: "Just as described in the original work, the essence of so-called secret techniques is actually just different combinations of various mystical patterns."
"And the general framework of these secret pattern combinations can all be found in the 64 secret pattern diagrams of the eight great beast gods."
This is normal, because the eight great beast gods are the perfect manifestation of the rules governing the universe, and these 64 secret patterns can also be seen as the basic factors that constitute these rules.
"The essence remains the same despite all the changes."
Chen Yuan's consciousness stared at the most complex set of law patterns in the simulated space—the strongest talent technique bestowed upon him by the primordial universe, One Thought of Void!
"Even the most powerful secret technique is only composed of 95 secret rune diagrams."
Besides the Void of a Thought, there are also the secret rune diagrams corresponding to other secret techniques collected by the system over the years.
However, these runes are much simpler, most of them are just a combination of several beast runes, which are the peak secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe.
As for the ultimate secret technique, it contains at least eight combinations of secret patterns, which are the secret patterns represented by eight statues that embody the complete essence of the Beast God.
"However, the difference between ultimate secret techniques is really big. Only 8 secret pattern combinations can form an ultimate secret technique, but combinations of dozens of secret pattern combinations are also ultimate secret techniques."
It could even be said that the so-called "strongest secret technique" is actually the ultimate secret technique combined to its fullest extent.
According to Chen Yuan's estimation, a secret technique containing more than 90 combinations of secret patterns should be called the "strongest secret technique," such as his One Thought Void, or Luo Feng's I Am the Universe.
"So Master Zuoshanke's idea is for me to first master these 64 secret pattern diagrams, and then continuously combine them through exhaustive methods to eventually deduce powerful secret techniques. This is the so-called secret pattern diagram school."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan waved his hand, and the mystical patterns in the sky instantly disappeared, leaving only 64 basic mystical pattern diagrams representing the eight great beast gods.
"Unfortunately, this kind of secret pattern technique ultimately depends on luck to achieve."
"Although I have the advantage of the simulation space, which means that even if I use the exhaustive method, I can deduce the peak secret technique that meets the requirements in the fastest time."
Chen Yuan stared at the secret runes in the sky, silently thinking, "But—it's rare to have an opportunity like the Beast God Realm that allows me to cultivate in peace. How could I be satisfied with just ordinary secret runes?"
"If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability!"
Chen Yuan made up his mind: "Since we have plenty of time, and with the assistance of the simulation space, I can thoroughly understand the essence of these 64 secret rune diagrams first, and then trying various combinations of secret runes will be a piece of cake, right?"
His approach is actually the same as understanding the laws of nature; both start by learning from the most basic essence.
Traditional rune patterns do not require a complete understanding of the essence of all 64 runes. It is sufficient to understand the function of each rune and then create powerful rune combinations through extensive experimentation.
However, this method only knows what happens but not why it happens, just like when trying to understand a law, one only knows how to apply it but doesn't understand its true meaning.
Chen Yuan's method, just like his way of comprehending the laws, was to first thoroughly grasp the essence of the 64 secret pattern diagrams and understand their true meaning before starting to combine the secret patterns.
In this way, by understanding the meaning of each rune, one can naturally eliminate obviously wrong options when combining them, greatly improving the efficiency of creating secret techniques.
In the original novel, Luo Feng spent 180 million years creating an ultimate secret technique by combining eight secret patterns!
However, if one grasps the essence of the secret pattern diagram and then combines and creates it—Chen Yuan is confident that he can complete an ultimate secret technique within ten thousand years.
As for the ultimate secret techniques? That's even easier; it might not even take a thousand years.
Of course, if system optimization is relied upon, the ultimate secret technique could be created in just a few years, since the system's efficiency far exceeds that of the individual.
However, the things optimized by the system are ultimately not one's own; one still needs to cultivate them from scratch and gradually master them. On the other hand, the secret techniques one creates are already in a perfect state and can be used without cultivation.
This is just one aspect.
The second, and more important, reason is that learning these secret patterns would greatly benefit Chen Yuan.
Studying secret patterns is just like studying laws; both aim to enhance one's own foundation and realm.
The system can assist in this regard, but it can never completely replace his efforts.
Otherwise, no matter how many secret techniques Chen Yuan possesses, he will not be able to create secret techniques independently. Once he loses the system in the future, he will immediately revert to his original form.
Therefore, despite having the system's assistance, Chen Yuan never misses any opportunity to improve himself.
Only by ensuring that he has no weaknesses in any aspect can he ensure that even if he loses the system in the future, it will not affect his growth.
This is the fundamental reason why Chen Yuan wants to learn the essence of the Secret Pattern Diagram.
After that, Chen Yuan's consciousness devoted itself to studying the 64 secret rune diagrams in the simulated space. In reality, he was not idle either, and at the same time, he sketched various combinations of secret runes in the void.
In order to catch up with the research progress of the simulated spatial consciousness, Chen Yuan even had Irene use her innate secret technique "possession" to give him a mental speed boost of eight thousand times!
That's right. After merging with the Primordial Palace, which has been optimized into a supreme treasure, Ireil's Possession Technique has been amplified by eight thousand times.
With this level of efficiency, Chen Yuan could immediately put his research in the simulation space into practice as soon as he made progress, arranging and combining the secret patterns he had already mastered.
Although the combinations of runes he used at this time were very simple, not even one ten-thousandth of a rune diagram, the secret techniques he created were rarely weak, and most of them were above average.
Moreover, as Chen Yuan's research into the secret patterns deepened, the secret techniques he could casually combine in reality became increasingly powerful.
Time passed quietly, and another three hundred years went by in the Beast God Realm.
In the primordial universe, within the city of chaos.
At this moment, the Soul Devouring Beast clone finally completed its comprehension of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and felt that it had gained a great deal.
"Once I've digested all these gains, my spatial laws should be able to steadily reach the ninth level of the Sky Bridge."
Chen Yuan's face lit up with joy, then he noticed the passage of time.
"600 years have already passed in the Beast God Realm? I'd better go back as soon as possible. The efficiency of studying the laws in Chaos City is far less than that in the Beast God Realm."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan prepared to teleport back to the Beast God Realm.
But just then, he suddenly received an email from the Lord of Darkness.
