Chapter 534 Smuggling Origin Continent?
Twenty thousand years is a long time, but it can also be short.
For ordinary life forms, 20,000 years is enough to complete the transition from feudal civilization to interstellar civilization.
However, on the scale of the entire universe, a mere 20,000 years is so insignificant and uneventful.
Of course, for Chen Yuan, 20,000 years is not a short time. After all, he has only lived for less than 60,000 years in total, and he has never experienced such a long period of seclusion before.
However, he didn't hold back for 20,000 years straight. Every now and then, he would review and summarize the cultivation of his various clones, and sometimes he would leave the small universe.
For example, Chen Yuan received news of the God King's inheritance of the spiritual lineage that Di Yuluo had promised a century ago, and then arranged for his spiritual body to go there and retrieve the secret method.
The name of this secret method is "The Method of Gathering Spiritual Energy in the Four Phases".
According to the secret records, the complete Great Dao of Life has twenty-four phases, which are further divided into six major branches, with each branch occupying four phases.
This secret method cultivates the four aspects that represent the branches of life's spirituality. Once the four aspects are perfected, one can master the complete branches of spirituality.
The complete "Four Aspects Spiritual Cultivation Method" consists of four levels, with each level cultivating one aspect until all four aspects are perfected.
After optimization, each level is divided into beginner, proficient, and master stages. The ultimate mastery is the perfect state, where one can master 30% of the spiritual branches.
With the third level of perfection, one can master 90% of the branches, while the final level lies in the fourth level of secret techniques.
However, Chen Yuan can only optimize the first three levels of the secret technique at present, because the fourth level is already equivalent to the God King level, which exceeds the optimization limit.
Furthermore, because this secret technique has so few levels, its cultivation difficulty far exceeds that of other inheritances.
After an entire era of cultivation, Chen Yuan barely passed the beginner stage and only reached the proficient level.
My grasp of the spiritual branches is just over 10%.
As for the effects of the Four Phases Spiritual Energy Method, they are reflected in its influence on the physical body.
At this moment, every drop of Chen Yuan's flesh and blood has been imbued with spirituality, indirectly increasing the strength of his physical body by seven or eight times. This is still because his foundation is too strong.
After all, over the course of 20,000 years, his progress in the "Great Evolution Creation Body" was equally impressive. His fifth level of the Chaos Realm made his physical body comparable to that of a second-stage Chaos Realm cultivator.
If this amount of spiritual energy were applied to an eternal-level physical body, it would bring at least a hundredfold increase. However, Chen Yuan's excessively strong body-refining foundation resulted in insufficient allocation of this spiritual energy, which led to a significant reduction in the spiritual energy enhancement.
However, even a several-fold increase is quite considerable, at least equivalent to him undergoing one more body tempering, allowing the Great Evolution Creation Body to unleash the power of the sixth level of the Chaos Realm.
Furthermore, the spiritual branch's influence on the body goes beyond this, because the path of life excels at preserving life.
After the physical body develops spirituality, the main improvement it brings is actually the immortality of his body.
This is somewhat similar to the immortality of those who are granted the title of Marquis, but that is because the soul and divine power are combined, allowing the divine power to fuse back together after it is broken.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, now possesses spirituality within his flesh and blood, which allows his spiritual flesh and blood to automatically regenerate to their original state after his body is shattered.
The principles behind the two types of immortality are very similar, but their actual effects are vastly different—at least Chen Yuan now does not suffer any loss of soul or strength due to the loss of flesh and blood.
Even in the final moments of a battle, he can still maintain over 90% of his peak fighting strength.
In particular, Chen Yuan also possessed the power of the Bloodline. The superposition of the two branches of power increased the strength of his immortal body by another level, and his flesh and blood clone also gained spirituality, thus increasing its strength exponentially.
"My current physical body could probably withstand a typical peak Chaos Realm opponent for a long time."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "With the addition of mental power on this basis, my basic strength is even stronger than that of the peak of the Chaos Realm."
"Unfortunately, compared to the true peak of Chaos, the power of my secret technique is still lacking. It is estimated to be comparable only to a typical mid-level Chaos Realm."
After years of practice, his other secret techniques have progressed relatively smoothly, but not beyond expectations.
The mastery of the branches of the Great Way has increased by about 10% on average compared to back then.
Of course, since it's an average increase, there will naturally be some more and some less.
After all, for a branch like the Dark Heaven lineage, which already has a very high foundation, further improvement will inevitably be slower. Therefore, it has only increased by half a percent, and now it has barely reached 40% mastery, which is weaker than the 50% mastery of the middle-level Chaos Realm.
However, the basic strength of a peak-level expert is enough to bridge these gaps, so Chen Yuan is not weaker than a mid-stage Chaos expert.
If we also take into account the enhancements from other branches of the Great Dao—
He assessed his own strength as being at the peak of the mid-stage of the Chaos Realm.
Of course, this is without any equipment enhancements.
Compared to the steady improvement of secret techniques and the branches of the Great Dao, the improvement of secret treasures is much greater because the optimization system allows for rapid advancement.
Approximately 3,800 years after Chen Yuan went into seclusion, he successfully opened the Saint-level treasure room of the Sacred Weapon Sect and obtained a large amount of information about Chaos Treasures.
Unfortunately, the fifth level of the Chaos Realm (equivalent to the optimized fourth level) is only a condition for opening the Saint-level treasure space, and does not mean that he can take all the treasures inside.
From the fifth to the ninth level, with each level the Great Evolution Creation Body advances, he can take away a portion of the Chaos-level treasures. Only with the ninth level of authority can he take away all the treasures.
Even now that Chen Yuan has cultivated the secret technique to the fifth level, with authority comparable to the sixth level, he can only take away one-third of the treasure, and the highest grade of the treasure is only the late stage of Chaos.
Fortunately, he could examine each treasure in person, which gave him the opportunity to collect information, especially those rare treasures at the peak of the Chaos Realm.
Using the collected data, Chen Yuan successfully optimized all his equipment to the peak of Chaos and integrated different Dao powers.
Chen Yuan currently assesses his strength as mid-stage Chaos Realm, but if he were fully armed—
He will undoubtedly be at the peak of the Chaos Realm!
When he masters more than 90% of a Great Dao branch, he may even be able to reach the transcendent strength of the Chaos Realm!
"With such strength, one should be able to protect oneself without worry on the Origin Continent."
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, with his strength, he should have entered the Origin Continent long ago. However, considering that he had only recently broken through and was still in a period of rapid strength improvement, he was not in a hurry to break through.
After all, if he wanted to, he could break through to the Eternal True God in one go, and his level of life would be greatly improved.
By then, neither the miniature universe nor the time acceleration of the Black-Veined Stone Pillar region will be able to support him.
Although Chen Yuan's comprehension and computing power will increase significantly after his life level is upgraded, the lack of time acceleration by millions or even tens of millions of times means that the outcome is uncertain.
Therefore, Chen Yuan preferred not to break through first, but to rely on the benefits of time acceleration to slowly max out all the secret techniques he currently possessed.
By then, he might have already comprehended the laws of chaos, which would allow him to break through to the Chaos Realm in one step and officially enter the Origin Continent as a transcendent being of the Chaos Realm.
"It's a pity. If I could, I would have liked to enter the Origin Continent earlier to take a look."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. If going through the cycle of reincarnation didn't work, he had actually considered entering by smuggling himself in.
For example, one could travel across the boundary of the cosmic sea through a virtual universe network and directly enter the Origin Continent.
Unfortunately, this method is not feasible for the time being, because although the virtual universe has grown considerably over the years, it has not yet reached the boundary of the cosmic sea, and it is unclear how far away the origin continent is.
But besides this method, he also prepared a backup plan, which was to sneak across the border with those who were trying to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
That was the reason he accepted the allegiance of God the Eye.
"Speaking of which, it's been tens of thousands of years since I enslaved the Divine Eye True Lord. I wonder how his cultivation is progressing?"
Chen Yuan was curious, so he followed the soul fluctuations to investigate the situation of the Divine Eye True Lord.
Then he paused, taken aback.
