"Junior Brother Chen Yuan, I have a general understanding of your situation."
Lord Youhou spoke gently: "From what I see, your current understanding is on the path of analyzing the essence of the laws, which is a very good direction."
"However, your understanding of the laws is still relatively superficial at the moment."
He looked at Chen Yuan with a warm smile: "Therefore, I've arranged for 'Nine Truths' to guide your cultivation in the early stages. You can ask him any questions you may have."
"Jiuzhen has already mastered the first four transformations of the secret technique 'Nine Transformations of Riding the Wind,' thus achieving the invincible reputation of being a king. I suppose that's enough to guide you."
"Furthermore, every hundred years, I will personally guide you once."
Lord Youhou inquired, "Junior Brother, what do you think of this arrangement?"
"I have no objection, let's proceed according to my senior's arrangement."
Chen Yuan replied respectfully that, given his current level of cultivation, the effects of guidance from either the King of Immortality or the Lord of the Universe would be negligible.
"Then it's settled." Lord Youhou nodded in satisfaction, then turned to King Jiuzhen: "Jiuzhen, are you sure you're okay with this?"
"I will follow the teacher's instructions." King Jiuzhen replied respectfully.
"Very well." Lord Youhou smiled and said, "After I return, I will announce to the public that I have accepted Junior Brother Chen Yuan as my disciple."
"At that time, junior brother, your authority in the company will also be upgraded, roughly equivalent to the level of being crowned an immortal king."
"Immortal-level authority!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Senior Brother Youhou, with this authority..."
Can I now exchange Mixed Yuan Units for points?
"Of course," Lord Youhou laughed. "Junior Brother, according to the tradition of our original sect, we do not directly provide resources to our disciples. Everything needed for cultivation must be earned by ourselves."
"However, with your current privileges, you can already enjoy quite a few free resources. In addition, with your willpower and soul realm, you can get 100 million points by clearing 20 layers of the Illusionary Sea, which is enough to support your early cultivation."
Mentioning the Illusionary Sea, Chen Yuan hesitated slightly, worried that it would expose Earth's unique nature. He then said, "Senior Brother Youhou, my soul and will were obtained by chance. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to display them directly like this?"
"What's there to worry about?" Lord Youhou said dismissively. "An immortal-level soul combined with the will of a peak-level king is rare in the universe, but it's not without precedent."
"Besides, your soul condition has already been certified by Master Chaos. Even if your performance is amazing, those high-ranking humans who want to question it will have to get past Master Chaos first."
Upon hearing Youhou's words, Chen Yuan realized that his special feature was his "immortal-level soul," while the peak will of a king was a manifestation of soul strength and not particularly unusual.
This is completely different from Hong's situation in the original work—Hong possessed the will of a king at the peak of the universe level, which was truly astonishing.
In my case, with the endorsement of the Chaos City Lord, it would only be seen as a personal stroke of luck, and no one would associate it with the special nature of Earth.
"I understand," Chen Yuan said, relieved and nodding in agreement.
"That's all for today." Lord Youhou gave his final instructions: "Junior Brother, go back and study these secret techniques. If you have any questions, ask Jiuzhen. I need to go back and prepare for the announcement of accepting disciples."
"By the way, in front of outsiders, remember to address each other as fellow disciples."
"Understood," Chen Yuan and King Jiuzhen replied in unison.
After Lord Youhou departed, Chen Yuan and King Jiuzhen exchanged contact information and returned to their respective places.
Rain Mountain, Doomsday Zone, Dusk Garden.
Back in his room, Chen Yuan had Irene decline the other emails and then dialed Luo Feng's number.
Upon learning that Chen Yuan had been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe and understanding what kind of being the Lord of the Universe was, Luo Feng sincerely congratulated him, marveling that the Earth lineage had finally produced a true genius.
Chen Yuan responded modestly, and after chatting for a while, Luo Feng went back to continue his cultivation.
Shortly after hanging up the call, Chen Yuan received an email notification that his privileges had been elevated.
Looking at the words "Immortal-level Privilege" in the email, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "I must be the only member of Virtual Universe Company who has Immortal-level privileges but still lives in a tenement building."
But there's no way around it; one is the company's internal system access, and the other is the identity of a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm. The two don't affect each other.
Fortunately, the virtual space has a limited impact on Chen Yuan. If he really needs a training ground, he can go to the mansion of King Jiuzhen at any time. The facilities there are even more complete than those in the original area.
However, now is not the time, since he hasn't even started learning the secret techniques yet.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan went to the cultivation room and took out the large box containing the three secret techniques.
He first picked up a copy of "Records of the Original Studies". The book was very large, with a length, width and height of more than half a meter. Chen Yuan opened the first page, which was covered with densely packed tiny characters.
Chen Yuan resisted the urge to study it carefully and decided to first go through all the content briefly before letting the system optimize it.
An hour later, Chen Yuan had finished reading all nine volumes of "Records of the Original Study".
He read the first book the slowest because it contained a lot of content that inspired him and made him immerse himself in it.
Starting from the second volume, Chen Yuan's reading speed gradually increased, as his understanding of the laws was already quite high.
So I can roughly understand the second book, and even part of the third book.
But from the fourth to the ninth book, he could understand less and less, and he flipped through the pages faster and faster.
Until I finished reading all nine volumes.
After closing the last volume of "The Record of Primordial Research," Chen Yuan opened the panel: "System, optimize 'The Record of Primordial Research.' Optimization direction: lower the threshold and enhance the effect of research laws, abandon universality, and take my standards as the benchmark."
[This technique's level exceeds the system's optimization limit; only some aspects can be optimized. Continue?]
"As expected, it exceeds the limit." Chen Yuan wasn't surprised, after all, it was a secret technique worth hundreds of billions of points. So he asked, "How many volumes of content can it optimize at most?"
The current optimization limit is the first four volumes.
"They were even able to optimize the fourth volume."
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised, as the fourth volume involved content beyond the Immortal level. However, upon further reflection, he realized that since the system could now optimize sixth-tier equipment, optimizing Immortal-level secret techniques was to be expected.
"Then let's optimize the first three volumes."
Chen Yuan ultimately did not choose to optimize the fourth volume because he knew that even if he could optimize it, it would definitely take a long time.
Anyway, we don't need the fourth volume for the time being, so there's no need to waste time waiting.
[Establish Optimization Task: Original Research Record; Optimization Direction: Lower the threshold, improve the effect, and abandon universality, focusing on the host's condition]
[Estimated energy consumption for this optimization: 0.1 units. Optimize?]
Chen Yuan did not hesitate and chose to confirm the optimization.
[Optimization task has been created, remaining time: 90 days]
"Just as expected, it's the same as when we optimized 'Chenguang'."
So Chen Yuan also chose to shorten the time to five days, and then looked at the next secret technique, "The Illusionary Truth Manual".
This manual is essentially a soul technique, its greatest function being to increase soul amplitude, up to a maximum of 64 times. Secondly, it also contains many soul illusion techniques, the upper limit of which is the cosmic overlord level.
Since this secret method didn't hold the same appeal for Chen Yuan as the "Record of the Primordial Research," he quickly read through the entire book.
After half an hour.
"System, optimize 'The Secret Codex of Illusion'"
It also only optimized the parts below the Immortal level, so the energy consumption was not large, and the time was only slightly longer than the "Primordial Research Record". Chen Yuan shortened it to one month and then stopped.
Finally, there is "Nine Transformations of Riding the Wind," a secret technique similar to the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" in the original work, both created by imitating the Beast God.
The secret technique has nine levels, but only the first level is suitable for those below the Immortal level to cultivate. Chen Yuan looked at it and saw that the first level alone was divided into nine layers, and its power was somewhat similar to that of the Divine Weapon.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only optimized the first level as well, since he was only at the cosmic level, and the first level alone was enough for him to use for a long time.
After adding "Riding the Wind and Nine Transformations" to the optimization list, Chen Yuan closed the panel and then clicked the "Teleport to the Illusionary Sea" button.
"It's time to go earn some points."
