After reading the email sent by the Dark Lord, Chen Yuan understood the situation regarding the Supreme Conference.
"My clan actually rewarded me with 1000 Treasure Points? That's quite a generous gift!"
Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised; with so many Treasure Points, he could barely buy one top-tier Treasure.
If he only buys the materials and then refines them himself, he can at least refine two or three top-tier treasures.
Of course, with Chen Yuan's current level of treasure refining skills, he is still far from being able to refine supreme treasures. If he were to refine them independently now, he could only barely manage to refine some heavy treasures.
However, with Master Zuoshanke's treasure-refining manual, his treasure-refining skills can continue to improve. If he fully masters the contents of the manual, then refining supreme treasures will be no big deal for him.
Getting back to the main point, while the clan rewards this time are generous, unlike the last time, this time the rewards are a one-time buyout.
In other words, the clan directly funded the purchase of this technology, and acquired it along with the armor and spirit technology.
The price of a one-time buyout is naturally higher than the price of a share. In addition, the importance of the General's Soul Technique to the clan makes the buyout price reach an astonishing 500 Treasure Points, and the total price of the General's Soul Technique is 1000 Treasure Points.
"Moreover, Teacher Dark also mentioned that the number of ordinary immortals in the race is over 100 million, which is a very large group. This makes the effect of General Armor on improving the overall strength of the race extremely significant."
"On the contrary, since the threshold for using the King Armor is the strength of a King, and there are only 100,000 King-level experts in the entire human race, even if the technology of the King Armor is deciphered in the future, its value may not be much higher than that of the General Armor."
"Furthermore, the increase in armor quality decreases from soldier armor to general armor, king armor, and emperor armor."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. He was well aware that the increase in armor for soldiers and generals was the most exaggerated, reaching a thousand times and a hundred times respectively, which had a very significant effect on improving immortal strength.
However, by the time it reaches the King level, the amplification is only tenfold. Even a beginner-level King can only use it to raise the level to the peak of the King level, so the effect is limited.
As for the Imperial Armor, not only are the requirements extremely high, but the improvement is also minimal.
The threshold of a million times the power of a Realm Lord requires mastering the Amplification Secret Technique or reaching the limit of a King-level being with ten times the gene power. However, the Royal Armor only doubles the power, which can only be described as an improvement, but not enough to make the limit of a King-level being comparable to the invincible King-level being.
Therefore, the Lord of Darkness specifically reminded Chen Yuan in the email that even if the King Armor and Imperial Armor technologies were deciphered in the future, the rewards obtained might not be much higher than the rewards for obtaining the General Armor this time.
"The Dark Master is worried that I'll get so engrossed in my research that I'll neglect my cultivation."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "They're targeting me."
This is not hard to understand, because in other people's eyes, they are learning the art of refining treasures from the Mountain Hermit.
Who would have thought that he was already the personal disciple of this strongest person?
Therefore, Chen Yuan's main focus in the Beast God Realm was not the art of treasure refining, or rather, the art of treasure refining was only a small part of it. What he really wanted to study was the knowledge of secret patterns.
After sending a reply email to his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, subtly reminding himself that following the Mountain Hermit wasn't just about learning treasure refining techniques, Chen Yuan's mind stirred...
The Soul Devouring Beast clone then returned to the Beast God Realm.
Subsequently, the various clones each performed their duties and continued to comprehend the various laws.
Time flies, and seven hundred years have passed since Chen Yuan entered the Beast God Realm.
"After seven hundred years, my sacred embryo has finally been completed."
Looking at the words "Fetal Breathing Method: Perfection" displayed on the panel, Chen Yuan was filled with emotion.
This secret technique, which he began cultivating at the Hengxing level, finally reached its perfect state after a thousand years of practice, during his realm lord stage.
A perfected Holy Embryo has a higher efficiency in absorbing primordial energy, and now it has been optimized to the peak primordial treasure of the ninth rank and level.
Chen Yuan can absorb 200 million units of primordial energy every day!
"There are still 300 years left until the agreement with the progenitor of the stars."
"In other words, I can absorb another 2190 billion units of primordial energy in the coming period."
Chen Yuan quickly calculated the result: "Including the energy accumulated over the previous 700 years, the primal energy I absorbed in the Beast God Realm exceeds 5500 billion!"
"Wow, I didn't know I'd inhaled so much."
After calculating the figures, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh to himself, "They've already absorbed over 500 billion in just a thousand years. If they absorbed for ten million years, what would that be like? No wonder the Star Ancestor was so anxious."
"If I were to absorb it for ten million years, I wonder if I could completely drain the primordial universe's origin?"
Of course, he only thought about it and would never actually put it into action.
"Moreover, this is only the strength of the Fetal Breathing Realm. If I can break through to the next realm, [Sitting in Oblivion], my speed of absorbing primordial energy can be increased by a lot."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, I have absolutely no clue how to break through to the Sitting Meditation Realm."
Having reached this point, his path of spiritual cultivation is vastly different from the world he remembered; the difference is evident even in the form of the Holy Embryo.
Compared to the setting in another world where the Holy Embryo becomes the energy core, Chen Yuan's Holy Embryo has always been on the path of pure spiritual cultivation.
Aside from possessing the ability to absorb the origin of the universe, his sacred embryo itself does not store energy.
Of course, the energy absorbed by his sacred embryo has all been transformed into illusory mental power, that is, the attribute of will.
Now that Chen Yuan's sacred embryo has reached its full potential, his willpower has finally reached its limit—the peak of a high-level Venerable.
"It's a pity that my willpower didn't reach the level of a cosmic overlord, otherwise I could have cultivated the second level of primordial spirit sword intent."
Chen Yuan felt somewhat regretful about this.
However, he was also well aware that the will of a cosmic overlord was actually equivalent to the level of a first-order cosmic lord. If he could really reach that level, he might even have a chance of recognizing the star tower as his master.
There is at least a hundredfold difference between the peak of a high-level Venerable and a cosmic overlord; it is still too difficult to reach that level through the fetal breathing method.
"Forget it, let's stop cultivating our spiritual realm here. Whether we can break through to the next stage depends on fate."
Chen Yuan snapped out of his thoughts: "As for now, I'll focus on analyzing the secret rune diagrams."
To be honest, these secret patterns are indeed extremely difficult. Even with Chen Yuan studying them for hundreds of years under the accelerated environment of the simulation space, he has only completed five-thousandths of the first secret pattern.
At this rate, it would probably take Chen Yuan a full 80,000 years of study in the Beast God Realm to fully analyze the first statue!
If the secret patterns of each statue need to be deciphered for this long, it would take five million years.
Of course, the more Chen Yuan analyzes the essence of the secret pattern diagram, the easier it will be for him to analyze other secret patterns in the future, so it is actually impossible for it to take so long.
Because the 64 runes represented by the eight beast god statues are not in a progressive relationship, but rather each rune is of considerable difficulty, Chen Yuan's process of studying and analyzing the runes is not as difficult as comprehending the laws. Instead, the more rune knowledge he has, the easier it becomes to analyze, and the more efficient he becomes.
Deciphering the first rune pattern may take a long time, but the speed of deciphering will increase as you progress.
According to Chen Yuan's estimate, it would take him about 50,000 years to analyze the first secret pattern diagram, but it would only take a little over a million years to analyze all 64 secret pattern diagrams, and at most no more than two million years.
Once he fully deciphers the essence of the 64 secret patterns, creating secret techniques becomes much simpler. He can reliably create the peak secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe in less than a thousand years, and the ultimate secret techniques in ten thousand years!
Therefore, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry at all, because the Mountain Guest had given him a full ten million years to learn the Secret Pattern School, which was more than enough time for him.
He quickly regained his focus and continued to analyze the first secret pattern diagram bit by bit.
Meanwhile, outside the Beast God Realm.
Still on Ancestral Mountain, the Mountain Dweller noticed something was off about his old friend's expression and couldn't help but ask, "Old Beast God, what's happened now?"
"It's still your disciple."
The Star Ancestor took a deep breath: "I made an agreement with your disciple that he could only absorb the cosmic essence for a thousand years, but recently his absorption rate has been increasing!"
"Oh?" The Mountain Dweller showed an interested expression: "His speed of absorbing the source can be accelerated?"
"As his teacher, don't you understand?"
The Star Ancestor looked at the other party helplessly: "This kid initially used only a high-level Origin Treasure, but after I agreed on a time with him, he directly pulled out a peak-level Origin Treasure!"
"Compared to the kid's initial absorption speed, his absorption efficiency is now almost three times higher."
"Is that so?" The mountain dweller looked thoughtful. The old beast god thought he had given his disciple several primordial treasures, but he knew in his heart that he had only given his disciple one high-grade primordial treasure before entering the Beast God Realm.
Now, this superior treasure has become a supreme treasure.
The Mountain Guest knew in his heart that Chen Yuan would not have a second Origin Treasure, otherwise his disciple would not have been unaware of the effects of the Origin Treasure.
"So, the ultimate treasure of origin that Chen Yuan has is the one I gave him."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest was quite certain: "Is it because of his amazing talent? So this talent can not only analyze secret techniques, but also analyze priceless treasures?"
Of course, even if he had a guess about the secret of his disciple's talent, he would not reveal it here.
Seeing his old friend's grim expression, the Mountain Hermit couldn't help but laugh and say, "Didn't you agree on a time with him? It doesn't matter how much he absorbs, it's only a thousand years anyway."
"You make it sound so easy," the Star Ancestor said irritably. "Compared to the original agreement, your disciple has absorbed more than double the amount of cosmic essence!"
"But you only agreed on a time with him, not a quantity to absorb," the Mountain-Sitting Guest continued to laugh. "It's only about a thousand years. Even if he absorbs a lot, it's unlikely to exceed the value of a top-tier treasure."
"That's true, so far I'm not at a loss."
The Star Ancestor nodded, his tone thankful: "Fortunately, I only let him absorb it for a thousand years."
"If it had taken any longer, even your several top-tier treasures wouldn't have been enough to cover the losses."
