Chapter 292 Breakthrough in Meditation and Leaving the Beast God Realm (4.4K)
"The most powerful secret technique, Great Annihilation?" After pondering for a moment, the Star Ancestor nodded approvingly, "Not bad, a good name!"
"You have now created the most powerful secret technique, far exceeding the requirements of the test."
The Primordial Ancestor of the Stars said gently, "Chen Yuan, are you ready to complete the test?"
Chen Yuan understood what the test was: to defeat the incarnation of the Star Ancestor.
Of course, it was merely an avatar of power at the same level as him, and the intensity of the secret technique it used was only close to that of a peak secret technique.
For him now, it's as easy as snapping his fingers.
However, Chen Yuan shook his head: "Ancestor, let's postpone the test for now. My cultivation is not yet complete, and I need some time to finish it."
"Not leaving for now?" The Starry Sky Ancestor was slightly pleased, somewhat puzzled as to what else Chen Yuan needed to cultivate.
The opponent's laws and secret techniques are almost perfect. It seems there's nothing left to cultivate if we stay any longer. Surely he doesn't want to create another strongest secret technique, does he?
But the Ancestor didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright, this avatar of mine will remain in the Beast God Realm. Call me anytime you wish to complete the trial."
As he spoke, the Star Ancestor transformed back into a black cloud and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
"Farewell to the ancestor."
Chen Yuan waited until the black cloud left before turning his gaze away, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed his mental power.
"It was indeed not an illusion. My soul has begun to transform once again, and the Holy Embryo has also changed."
Gazing at the sacred embryo radiating dazzling light within the core of the soul, one senses an infinite spiritual power contained within, ready to burst forth.
"My sacred embryo has long been perfected, yet it is undergoing another transformation—"
Chen Yuan watched the changes in the Holy Embryo with complete concentration, and a sense of joy gradually emerged in his heart. "This means that I have touched the opportunity for a breakthrough, and the advancement to the Forgotten Realm is just around the corner."
He guessed that this opportunity might have begun to brew 180 million years ago. His consciousness had been continuously analyzing the secret patterns in the simulated space for a full 180 billion years, leaving him extremely mentally exhausted.
In this exhausted state, Chen Yuan continued to study the combination of secret patterns for 20 years without interruption in order to create the strongest secret technique, while also analyzing the void of a single thought for 20 billion years in a simulated space.
The combination of these two factors resulted in an extreme sense of exhaustion that led him into a strange state of focus, in which...
Chen Yuan forgot himself, his eyes only fixed on the most powerful secret technique.
Finally, when the secret method was completed and this last obsession disappeared, his mind was completely freed from all constraints and touched a higher realm, namely, sitting in oblivion!
"but-"
Chen Yuan waited in the same spot for a long time and found that although the Holy Embryo was constantly stirring, as if it would transform at any moment, it did not change at all.
As time went on, the movements on the sacred embryo became smaller and smaller, as if it were about to regress to its original state.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan vaguely felt that if he just waited and did not intervene, this breakthrough might fail.
Then a thought subconsciously surfaced in his mind: "My sacred embryo seems somewhat confused about the next realm."
Don't know how to get in?
He suddenly realized.
Yes, this is not the world of "Star River Emperor", but "Swallowed Star".
At Chen Yuan's level, whether it's the state of "sitting in oblivion" or the realm master, they have gradually delved into the rules of their respective worlds.
The differences in the underlying rules of the two worlds are also growing.
This is why, when Chen Yuan broke through to the embryonic breathing stage and condensed the sacred embryo, he discovered that his embryonic breathing state was completely different from the embryonic breathing described in the original text.
Therefore, as a higher level than fetal breathing, the state of forgetting oneself must be very different from the original path.
This is why Chen Yuan's Holy Embryo is so confused, because it wants to break through to the next realm, but finds that this realm is completely incompatible with the rules of this world.
"Therefore, my breakthrough to the Forgotten Realm this time will not be as smooth as the previous ones, because the Forgotten Realm no longer conforms to the rules of this world."
In an instant, Chen Yuan made a decision: "I must take the initiative to guide the direction of Pusheng, and with my understanding of the rules of the world, make the new Sitting Meditation Realm fully integrated into the rules of this world."
"Only in this way can I successfully advance to the Silent Realm. Otherwise, once I lose this opportunity, I will be reduced to my original form and can only wait bitterly for the next breakthrough opportunity to arrive."
What the Forgetfulness Realm was like in the original world was no longer important to Chen Yuan. What he needed now was a new Forgetfulness Realm that was completely embedded in the rules of this world.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately used his mental power to try to guide the changes in the Holy Embryo.
Initially, he referred to the description in the original work and tried to integrate the Holy Embryo into his entire body, so that the power of the mind and the body would be inseparable.
But he was soon disappointed, because no matter how he guided it, the Holy Embryo remained unchanged and even showed a resistant attitude.
The Holy Embryo's attitude actually stemmed from Chen Yuan's subconscious thoughts, so he quickly realized that this was the wrong path and understood the reason for the Holy Embryo's resistance.
"That's right, my sacred embryo has been continuously absorbing cosmic energy for a full two million years. How terrifying must the energy accumulated within it be?"
The thousand-year agreement he made with the Star Ancestor was limited to the absorption of the power of the primordial Dao; the Ancestor did not prohibit the absorption of ordinary cosmic energy.
So for the past two million years, Chen Yuan's sacred embryo has been silently absorbing the primordial energy of the universe, until today.
Previously, he had never understood where the enormous power absorbed by the Holy Embryo had gone. Now the truth was clear: this energy was accumulated inside the Holy Embryo and firmly bound by its powerful mental strength.
It should be noted that Chen Yuan's will had already reached the limit of a high-level Venerable, and only the immense mental power derived from this could lock the energy within the Holy Embryo.
However, his physical realm was only at the realm master level, which was countless times lower than that of a high-level Venerable, and also countless times lower than the energy within the Holy Embryo.
This is why Chen Yuan's subconscious resisted this fusion, because the Holy Embryo knew very well that even though his genetic level was perfect, it was still insignificant in the face of such immense energy.
There is only one outcome to forcibly merge them: Chen Yuan's body will be completely destroyed in the endless torrent of energy.
"It seems this won't work."
Chen Yuan remained calm and did not appear impatient. Instead, he immediately began to try other directions.
As time went by, he tried to guide the fetus many more times, but unfortunately, the fetus either resisted or failed in its attempts to transform and reverted to its original form.
"Only one last attempt remains."
Faced with this last hope, even Chen Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and become somewhat nervous.
This final attempt was not complicated; its inspiration came from the power of the mind.
Although Chen Yuan believed that his mental power was unique, in essence, it was willpower, and the power of willpower was a power that perfectly matched this world.
As long as Chen Yuan elevates his sacred embryo in the direction of will, the realm he ascends to will be a new state of oblivion with strong characteristics of this world.
But the reason he left this most likely method of universal ascension as the last attempt was because the risks involved were too great.
It should be noted that Chen Yuan's sacred embryo now contains an immense amount of energy, and it is clear that pure will has nothing to do with energy.
As long as he transforms the Holy Embryo in the direction of his will, no one can guarantee that the energy within the Holy Embryo will not leak out during the process.
If the energy leaks, not only will this opportunity for advancement be lost, but it will also affect Chen Yuan's physical body in reality, and even implicate his other three clones.
Because the will of each of the various avatars is the same, and they are all connected to the Holy Embryo.
Of course, the death of the clone was nothing. What Chen Yuan was worried about was that this energy would impact the original core. Although the probability was extremely low, it was a matter of life and death, so he had to treat it with caution.
That's why he saved this method for last.
Of course, Chen Yuan wouldn't recklessly rush in; facing this last chance, he had to be fully prepared.
"system!"
He called out in his heart, brought up the panel, and instructed: "Optimize the fetal breathing method, add a way to break through the meditation, and the breakthrough direction is: sublimate the sacred embryo, so that it perfectly integrates will and internal energy, and evolves into a new form."
After saying that, Chen Yuan stared nervously at the panel, afraid that the request would exceed the system's limits.
[Establish and optimize the task; optimization goal: Fetal Breathing Method; optimization direction: add a method to break through to the Forgetfulness State; the breakthrough direction is to transform the Holy Embryo into a form of will, and perfectly merge it with the primordial energy within the Holy Embryo, sublimating it into a completely new form.]
[This mission is estimated to consume 990 million units of source energy. Should we conduct a simulation rehearsal?]
Seeing the system's consumption figures, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that in the system's eyes, his idea was indeed feasible.
Furthermore, judging from the amount of primal energy consumed, this mission, according to the system's evaluation, belongs to the peak level of the eighth tier of secret techniques.
That is, the limit of a high-ranking Venerable, which happens to be in line with his current mental will.
Chen Yuan immediately confirmed that the system would then begin rehearsing the mission in the simulation space.
Fortunately, the rehearsal went very smoothly. Under the guidance of Chen Yuan's consciousness, the mission was completed in less than a day, and the energy consumption was reduced to one-tenth.
A day later, the new content of the Fetal Breathing Method appeared before Chen Yuan's eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yuan, having extracted all the contents, looked at the Holy Embryo whose light had dimmed somewhat, took a deep breath, and immediately began his final breakthrough according to the method recorded in the Fetal Breathing Technique.
A moment later, watching the Holy Embryo slowly evolve into a new form, Chen Yuan finally felt relieved and sincerely thanked the system for its help.
To be honest, without systematic calculations, he might not have been able to achieve such a perfect result if he had only relied on his own ideas.
However, although the Holy Embryo has begun to evolve steadily, the progress of its new form is slow due to the enormous energy it contains.
Fortunately, he has firmly grasped this opportunity for breakthrough, and now he only needs to patiently wait for the sacred embryo to transform.
For Chen Yuan, who was in the Beast God Realm, time was the one thing he had in abundance.
"Fortunately, I didn't agree to leave directly with the Star Ancestor back then, otherwise, judging from the speed of this transformation, it would probably take several hundred years."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. He had already lived through two million years, so these few hundred years were just a blink of an eye for him.
And so, as he waited with great anticipation, six hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and the evolution of the Holy Embryo finally came to an end.
As the sacred embryo absorbed the last bit of energy, the entire ecosystem once again radiated a dazzling light, and within that light, the form of the sacred embryo finally changed.
As if a fetus were truly being conceived, a humanoid creature emerged from the sacred embryo. At the same time, the sacred embryo began to disintegrate inch by inch, because the energy inside had dried up and all of it was absorbed into the humanoid creature's body.
Subsequently, the remnants of the decomposed Holy Embryo transformed into a white robe, which wrapped around his body.
Finally, the light faded, and the humanoid creature's appearance was fully revealed.
He was dressed in a white robe, his whole body shrouded in a faint light, and he held a long sword that also shone faintly. His face was exactly the same as Chen Yuan in reality.
Of course, this is Chen Yuan.
"It's done. Is this the state of forgetting oneself?"
Clad in a white robe, Chen Yuan exhaled softly, sensing his current state: "The Holy Embryo has vanished, transforming into this form—a fusion of energy and will—."
His gaze flickered to the longsword in his hand: "Oh, and there's also the Will Sword forged from the sword intent of my primordial spirit. I was so nervous during the breakthrough that I almost forgot about it."
"Yes, my current form is not purely a will, and I can even exist independently of my physical body for a long time."
Chen Yuan, clad in white, held his longsword horizontally, pondering, "This longsword was born with me, and it too is imbued with energy."
It's become my go-to weapon.
"According to Taoist teachings, what is gestating within the sacred embryo is either the golden elixir or the primordial spirit, but my current form does not resemble the golden elixir."
Let's call it the primordial spirit then, since nobody knows what the real primordial spirit looks like anyway.
"Primordial Spirit Sword Intent—I never imagined that the name I randomly came up with back then would be so perfectly fitting now."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly. He sensed his current state again and found that his ability to absorb source energy was still there, and even more efficient. He was immediately relieved.
"Moreover, my willpower has also broken through, increasing by at least a hundredfold."
It should be noted that his will was already at the peak of the High Venerable level, and by increasing it a hundredfold, he had completely stepped into the level of the Lord of the Universe!
"Now that you have successfully broken through to the state of 'sitting in oblivion,' the system should be able to optimize the cultivation method for that state, right?"
Chen Yuan opened the panel again and tried to optimize the meditation method.
[Task creation failed. The level of this secret technique is too high (10th tier). It is recommended that the host break through to a higher level of life before attempting to create the new technique.]
"The Sitting in Oblivion Technique is actually a tenth-level secret technique, which is at the True God level?"
Chen Yuan blinked. This was quite a leap. He had already reached the tenth level of the Sitting in Oblivion Technique. What level would the Manifestation Technique reach in the future?
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan stopped thinking about the future. Since the Sitting Meditation Technique could not be optimized for the time being, there was no need for him to stay in the Beast God Realm any longer.
"Irele, and Mingli, Silkel, and Youdie."
Chen Yuan called out, "Come back, everyone, we're about to leave."
"yes!"
Hearing their master's call, the four women who were cultivating quickly flew over from all directions.
Chen Yuan sensed the auras of the four people and found that after a million years, the progress of the three insectoid sisters was not obvious. None of them had made any breakthroughs in the laws, and even the most talented Youdie was still stuck at the eighteenth level.
This is actually normal. After all, the efficiency of immortals in comprehending the laws is far less than that of realm lords. Moreover, the efficiency of comprehending the laws in the Beast God Realm is not high to begin with. One million years of comprehension is only equivalent to ten thousand years in the outside world.
Once you reach the King-Sealing stage, thinking you can break through with a mere ten thousand is a gross underestimation of the difficulty of comprehending the laws.
However, Irene's progress has been tremendous.
Because of Chen Yuan's insights as a reference, her understanding of the laws of space has reached the nineteenth level, and even the laws of time have reached the eighteenth level, which can be described as a rapid advancement.
After assessing the condition of the four people, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "My training here is over. Come with me."
"Yes!" Irene and the others replied immediately.
After taking out the Primordial Palace and putting the four people inside, Chen Yuan looked up at the sky and shouted, "Ancestor, I am ready to complete the trial and leave the Beast God Realm!"
