To be honest, this level of strength is already quite formidable; the main reason is the immense improvement from the treasure.
If it were a supreme treasure, even with the power of the Calamity Armor, he would only reach the peak of the third tier at most. Even if he mastered the strongest fusion technique,
It can only go up to the fourth level.
Because at the level of a fifth-order universe master, ten thousand times the genetic bonus is just standard.
In comparison, Chen Yuan's basic strength is still too low. Without the supreme treasure, he simply cannot make up for the hundreds of times difference in strength. "But the strength of a fourth-order universe master is enough to dominate the primordial universe, not to mention that I also have the supreme palace in my hands."
"Not to mention that I'm only immortal now!"
Chen Yuan blinked. "If I advance to the Venerable realm and my power increases a hundredfold, wouldn't I be able to truly rival the Dark Master without relying on other supreme treasures?"
"That's not right either—after all, the power of the Armored Blade has its limits."
He suddenly shook his head, "I can now fully unleash the power of the Calamity Armor and reach the level of a World Lord with a power of ten trillion times. Even if I break through to the Universe Venerable, I can only unleash a power of a hundred trillion times at most."
"That is equivalent to a universe master with a thousand times the number of genes, but still ten times less than the Dark Teacher and the others."
"Of course, with the addition of the supreme treasure, my actual combat strength will surpass the fifth rank, and may even be comparable to the sixth rank, because at that time the supreme treasure I possess will definitely be able to continue to be optimized."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "So, if I want to continue to improve my strength, there are only two directions left: one is supreme treasures, and the other is secret techniques."
He wasn't worried about the treasures; as long as he optimized them gradually, they would eventually reach the peak of the tenth tier.
Therefore, what Chen Yuan really needs to work on is to continue researching secret techniques. As long as he can master the strongest fusion secret technique, his strength will reach the fifth level and be at the peak of the original universe. "Perfect timing, I have two of the strongest secret techniques on hand, One Thought Void and Great Destruction."
However, combining these two secret techniques is a difficult problem.
Because only the Great Destruction was created by Chen Yuan and can be fully mastered by him, while the One Thought Void is a talent-based secret technique bestowed by the primordial universe, which he can only use at present.
"Therefore, I should start by analyzing 'A Single Thought of Emptiness.' Once I fully understand the structure of this secret technique, then this innate secret technique will be under my control."
"At that time, we can begin the fusion of the two most powerful secret techniques."
Once the future cultivation direction is determined, it's time to formally assign tasks.
Chen Yuan pondered, "The Soul Devouring Beast's clones are ever-changing, which is perfect for cultivating secret techniques. Therefore, the tasks of cultivating the Primordial Eye and refining supreme treasures in the future can only be entrusted to other clones."
"My true form is still undergoing the Star Tower's recognition ceremony, and I have also been assigned a cultivation task for the future, which is to cultivate the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent and the Meditation Technique. I am not suitable for treasure refining work."
"As for the Nether Sea Avatar, it is engaged in endless creation and dissolution, focusing all its efforts on increasing its total divine power, and it is unable to spare any attention."
"Then the only one still free is the Abyss Whale clone."
"Hmm, upon closer inspection, although the Abyss Whale clone is an energy life form, it also possesses eyes and can cultivate the Primordial Eye."
Chen Yuan blinked. "And refining supreme treasures requires the control of divine power, which is also an advantage of energy life forms. This means that the Abyss Whale clone is also very suitable for treasure refining."
"In this way, the four clones each went their own way, just like in the Beast God Realm, where each person had their own task, making perfect use of this time, which was simply fantastic!"
Having made up his mind, Chen Yuan immediately summoned his Abyss Whale clone. A giant, multicolored whale surged out of the Nether Sea, leaving the Divine Kingdom and arriving at the Primordial Palace. It then activated the Primordial Eye and took over the work of the Soul Devouring Domain Beast.
As for the soul beast Chen Yuan, he went to another corner of the Shiyuan Hall and began to fully activate the One Thought Void Secret Technique and try to deconstruct the secret runes.
The space of the Primordial Palace, spanning nine light-years, is comparable to the Star Tower. Even though Chen Yuan's use of the One Thought Void technique was quite powerful, it did not affect the Abyss Whale clone on the other side of the space.
In this way, the four clones did not affect each other and were each immersed in different cultivation tasks. As time went by, Chen Yuan's strength also steadily increased.
However, as the mountain dweller said, this kind of behavior is extremely energy-consuming, since the total amount of willpower is fixed.
The cultivation of his three clones was equivalent to diverting a portion of his will, reducing the amount of will that Chen Yuan's main body could use to resist the impact of the Star Tower, and increasing the probability of his will collapsing.
Fortunately, due to the previous series of improvements, Chen Yuan's total willpower has reached the mid-stage of the third tier, while the Star Tower's current strength is still at the early stage of the third tier. This gives him enough willpower to supply his other clones with.
According to his prediction, the initial stage of the third tier will last for about ten years, and then he will reach the middle stage of the third tier. He will reach the late stage of the third tier within five years and the initial stage of the fourth tier within ten years.
As time goes on, the strength of the Star Tower's will increases faster, just like a breached dam, the flood will only get bigger and bigger until the entire river reaches a balance.
According to Master Zuoshanke, the entire fourth-order breakthrough takes only a short hundred years, after which the final fifth-order will stage will last for three hundred years!
"Now, we're just waiting for the 'Sitting in Oblivion' method to be optimized."
Chen Yuan himself was still listening attentively to the instruction from the Mountain Guest. This master craftsman was now explaining the crafting techniques of the Primal Soul. Based on Jie Jia's experience, it was estimated that explaining the Primal Soul would take about a year.
Of course, by the time the Mountain Guest finished explaining the original soul, his meditation technique had also been optimized.
Time slipped by quietly, and nine months passed in the blink of an eye.
The explanation of the original soul technology was coming to an end, but it was not over yet. However, the optimization of the meditation method had been completed first.
Almost immediately after the countdown ended, Chen Yuan opened the introduction to the Sitting in Oblivion Method.
[The Sitting Meditation Method: A secret cultivation technique for the mind, level nine of ten (level nine True Mystic Technique)]
The path of spiritual cultivation, initiated by the Primordial Lord, is restricted from being disseminated due to its incompleteness and the limitations imposed by supreme rules.
Practicing this secret technique will grant the following benefits:
[I. When the mind reaches the state of "sitting in oblivion," it will assist the host in mastering the special abilities that come with that state.]
[The host's current realm has been detected as the Selflessness Realm. After cultivating the secret technique, one can integrate their will into the fundamental laws and become an embodiment of those laws.]
[When the host breaks through the realms of forgetting form and forgetting boundaries, corresponding abilities will also be unlocked.]
[II. Cultivating this secret technique will continuously increase one's willpower, with an upper limit of peak willpower at the Void True God level.]
[Note: If the host's willpower level is detected to be higher than the proficiency level of the secret technique, a proficiency bonus will be granted when practicing the secret technique.]
Simple and straightforward, just two effects.
But Chen Yuan understood that the meaning behind these two effects was extraordinary.
"The special abilities corresponding to the 'Seated in Oblivion' state?"
Upon seeing the first effect, Chen Yuan immediately realized: "That's right. In the previous realms, my mind possessed extraordinary special abilities. For example, in the Fetal Breathing Realm, I could communicate with the source of my being, and in the Divine Breathing Realm, I could control the ability to attack with my will."
"But I've been in the Forgetfulness Realm for so long, and apart from discovering that the Holy Embryo has transformed into a primordial spirit, I have absolutely no idea what special abilities the Forgetfulness Realm has." Chen Yuanwei shook his head almost imperceptibly.
He understood that this was because his "Seated in Oblivion" realm was a unique one, not only appearing for the first time in the Swallowed Star world, but also vastly different from the original world.
After all, according to the novel "Star River Emperor," after breaking through the Silent Meditation stage, energy merges with the body, allowing one to master the "code" for communicating with other dimensions.
However, Chen Yuan's breakthrough to the Sitting Meditation Realm did not involve integrating mental power into his body, nor did he master any secret codes. Therefore, the information from the original world was basically of little reference value.
It wasn't until the Sit-forgetfulness Technique was optimized and he saw the prompt for the first effect of the secret technique that he understood that the effect of his Sit-forgetfulness Realm was that it could integrate his will into the original law and become the embodiment of the law.
"Isn't merging one's will with the fundamental laws the same as what I did during my time as a World Lord, after gaining the recognition of the fundamental laws and utilizing the power of the world?"
"However, after I broke through to immortality, apart from the Law of Wind, the other fundamental laws had already repelled my will, making comprehension more than a million times more difficult."
Chen Yuan was secretly delighted: "Could it be that once I cultivate the Meditation Technique and master the ability to integrate my will into the laws, I will regain the comprehension speed of a World Lord?"
If that's the case, not only could he easily perfect the only unrecognized Law of Lightning, but he could also easily cross the threshold for other lower-level laws that have reached 99.99%.
"My will can even be integrated with two superior laws, allowing me to comprehend them at a speed hundreds of times faster than those immortals or even cosmic venerables."
"In this way, once I correct the errors in my laws, won't I be able to comprehend the laws of time and space in a short period of time?"
"To become a cosmic sovereign, even the master of the universe?"
Of course, given Chen Yuan's strength, even if he breaks through to the Venerable or even the Universe Lord realm, the improvement he would gain would be minimal. After all, his abilities are already quite formidable among Universe Lords; even if he were to break through to a higher realm, it would only mean an improvement in his divine body.
As expected, when he breaks through to the level of Universe Venerable, he will possess the combat power of a sixth-order Universe Lord. When he breaks through to the level of Universe Lord, if his secret techniques can keep up, he may be comparable to a seventh-order True God.
If the secret technique remains the same, then he will at most be at the peak of the sixth rank, not even reaching the seventh rank.
After all, most of the seventh-order true gods who roam the cosmic sea have already mastered the most powerful treasures, so Chen Yuan's advantage in treasures has been largely negated.
If you want to continue to advance beyond your current level, then besides continuing to optimize and create Void True God-level treasures, the only other option is to improve the level of your secret techniques.
The day he masters the true god-level secret technique will be the day he truly enters the seventh tier of combat power.
"Hmm, you're overthinking it. Even if my comprehension speed is hundreds of times faster than others, breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm is still manageable, but breaking through to the Universe Lord realm is not so easy."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "After all, Luo Feng in the original story also comprehended the Heart of the Beast God and obtained the inheritance of Duan Donghe. He cultivated for tens of thousands of years before breaking through."
"Even if I comprehend things faster, without the assistance of a high-level inheritance, I estimate that I won't break through to the Universe Master level much faster than Luo Feng."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan temporarily put aside his thoughts on breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe and instead looked at the second effect of the secret technique.
Just as he had set the optimization direction, the level of willpower strength indeed increased as the proficiency of the secret technique increased.
To his surprise, the upper limit of willpower that could be reached by cultivating the Sitting Meditation Method was actually the peak of the Void True God!
"I thought the system classified the Sitting Meditation Technique as a True God Mystic Art, which could only be cultivated to the peak of True God's will. I didn't expect it to be a Void True God?"
Chen Yuan was secretly surprised: "From this perspective, the three levels of the Sitting in Oblivion Realm should correspond to the will of the Lord of the Universe, the will of a True God, and the will of a Void True God, respectively."
"If the 'Sitting in Oblivion' realm is this powerful, then what about the 'Manifestation' realm?" Chen Yuan wondered curiously. "Could it be that the 'Manifestation' realm corresponds to the will of an Eternal True God, a Chaos Ruler, and a God-King?"
Of course, this is just speculation. After all, in theory, the God-King level (including the God-Emperor) is already the highest level in the Origin Continent. To go beyond that, one must transcend the Origin Continent and achieve the Chaos Origin.
However, the Manifestation Realm is only considered a mid-level realm in Star River Emperor. There are also the Divine Realm, the Realm of Coexistence with Heaven and Earth, the strongest in the Reincarnation Realm, and finally the Inconceivable Realm, which sounds increasingly mysterious.
"But since I began to sit in oblivion, my spiritual realm has become completely different from that of the original world, and I may not be able to replicate those realms of the original world."
"Not to mention, the realms beyond the Star River Emperor have been completely embedded in the underlying rules of the world, and in essence, they may even belong to the realm of Manifestation."
Chen Yuan had a premonition that his spiritual realm might have peaked at the Manifestation stage. There might be higher realms, but at most they would be comparable to the Primordial Chaos level, and more likely there would be none at all.
"Or perhaps, at that time, I will need to proactively develop the 'Great Path of the Mind,' fully embedding the mental cultivation system within it. Only in this way can I circumvent the highest rules and spread the mental cultivation method."
This idea came to Chen Yuan when he saw the system's evaluation of the Sitting in Oblivion Method.
It is highly likely that the Great Dao of the Mind has not yet been born in the Origin World or the Endless Chaotic Space, which is why Chen Yuan's Mind Cultivation Method is restricted by the Supreme Rules.
"However, this idea is just my guess."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. "At least I've never heard of a Dao called 'mind' in the original work. There is a saying about transcending the will, but that's the weakest path."
In general, due to the lack of information, all his ideas are just speculations about the future. Whether they will actually turn out as he imagines will only be verified after he reaches that level.
"To verify an idea, one would have to elevate their spiritual realm to the level of divine manifestation, which is still too far from my reach."
Chen Yuan quickly snapped out of his thoughts and prepared to focus on the present.
After extracting the cultivation content of the Sitting in Oblivion Method, Chen Yuan officially began his first cultivation after sitting in oblivion, accompanied by the explanation from the Mountain Hermit.
