Chapter 190 Optimizing the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual
Upon learning that Chen Yuan was about to leave after just returning, Luo Hai and the others tried to persuade him to stay a few more days, but Chen Yuan declined, citing strict company regulations, and said that he was just stopping by for a quick visit.
Before parting, Chen Yuan took out carefully prepared gifts and gave them to everyone.
Moreover, considering that everyone's cultivation progress is different, the gifts he prepared also had different focuses.
Thor received a nutrient capsule and its accompanying nutrient solution. Although it was not the version used by the core personnel, it was enough to allow Thor to reach the peak of the universe level within thirty years, and it was quite valuable.
What Luo Hai received was a handwritten notebook of his insights into the Law of Fire, compiled by Chen Yuan based on Shang Hou's memories, which was of great benefit to improving his understanding of the Law.
Finally, there's Wei Wen. He has now cultivated to the Hengxing level, but his strength is still a weakness. So Chen Yuan took out a cultivation manual that he had optimized for him in advance, which can increase strength by up to 60 times and still has the characteristic of being 100% compatible.
Under Chen Yuan's insistence, the three could not refuse and had to accept it. However, judging from their expressions, they were overjoyed and clearly very satisfied.
In fact, Chen Yuan also prepared gifts for some other old friends, such as Yu Qinglan, Jiang Fang, and Qin Zhan.
Unfortunately, Yu Qinglan and Jiang Fang, the master and apprentice, broke through to the Hengxing level eighteen years ago, left Earth together, registered as apprentice mercenaries, and went on adventures in various parts of the universe.
As for Qin Zhan and his daughter, they have both become planetary-level beings and participated in the "Mars Development Project" decades ago. Now, the father and daughter are basically stationed on Mars and are not on Earth.
Chen Yuan had no choice but to entrust the gifts from these people to Thor for safekeeping, since Thor wouldn't be leaving Earth anytime soon.
After completing these steps, the system notified him that the information for the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual had been collected. Chen Yuan then bid farewell to everyone and departed in the Shiyuan Palace.
Of course, he didn't leave Earth, because he still had to return the black metal plate that carried the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture.
Speaking of this metal plate that contains the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, it had not yet been discovered by the Luo family at this point in time. It was Chen Yuan who found it in a ruin located deep underground after scanning the globe with his mental power.
Moreover, after obtaining the metal plate, he couldn't resist trying it out, and then found that the metal plate indeed did not react.
Perhaps due to the transmigration, Chen Yuan's soul did not possess the characteristics of an Earthling, and therefore naturally did not meet the requirements for inheriting the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.
However, with the system in place, none of this matters anymore. After all, the contents of the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual have already been entered into the system's database, and Chen Yuan has obtained the key to break through the hundredfold gene limit.
As for the original, let's leave it for Luo Feng.
After putting the black metal plate back in its original place and covering up all traces, Chen Yuan immediately left Earth aboard the Shiyuan Palace.
"Let's go, Irene, let's head to Dark Sea Star and complete the training mission."
Chen Yuan gave the instructions.
"Understood. The spaceship has entered the dark universe, target Dark Ocean Star, currently accelerating - expected arrival in 230 days."
Ireil quickly calculated the time it would take to reach Dark Sea Star; it would be less than eight months, slightly longer than when she arrived.
"understood."
Chen Yuan casually responded, his attention focused on the panel. He muttered, "System, optimize the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual. Maximize the improvement of the gene level while retaining the effect of breaking the gene limit."
"Finally, safety must be guaranteed. Even if it's slower, the lives of the cultivators must be ensured!"
This requirement was added by Chen Yuan on purpose, because unlike Luo Feng, he doesn't have a clone. As long as the original core is not destroyed, the clone can be reassembled no matter how many times it dies.
For Chen Yuan, life is only once, so no matter how powerful the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is, he will not risk his life to cultivate it. He must optimize it to be safe enough!
After stating these requirements, Chen Yuan added the requirement at the end as usual: "Abandon universality and take your own case as the standard." However, this time he received a system notification.
[Because the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual itself does not have universal applicability, although this optimization can still achieve 100% compatibility with the host, it cannot enjoy the original energy reduction effect.]
"So, optimizing the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual requires optimizing it at the original price?"
Chen Yuan glanced at the remaining primal energy and nodded: "No problem, let's optimize it. How much energy is needed?"
[Task established, target optimized: "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual", optimization direction: enhance genetic level, retain the ability to break limits, eliminate the consequences of failure, and improve compatibility with the host]
[This optimization is estimated to consume 23000 units of Origin Energy. Optimize?]
"23000? The system has determined that the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is a seventh-tier secret technique?"
"However, if we only consider the first tribulation, it makes sense."
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it could be optimized, that was fine. He still had enough energy left, so he decided to optimize.
[Task established, estimated completion time: 3 years and 9 months]
"It's been this long."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the system notification.
Unfortunately, after optimizing the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, he had very little of his original energy left, otherwise he really wanted to shorten the time.
"However, we will be heading to Dark Sea Star next. According to the mission description, there are a great many Black Tide creatures there."
Chen Yuan chose this mission because of its high monster density, which would make it easier for him to farm primal energy.
Otherwise, there are other mission worlds that are closer, so there's no need to specifically choose one that's so far away.
"Hopefully, I'll gain a lot of energy." With this expectation, Chen Yuan returned to his cultivation state.
Meanwhile, in the distant Youlan Universe Kingdom, on a very ordinary life-bearing planet.
Inside the hidden underground base, a man dressed in a black robe with pointed horns on his head hurriedly entered the control room and reported to the bald, short man on duty: "Team leader, we just received news that Chen Yuan, the No.0.4 on the assassination list, left the Primordial Secret Realm half a year ago. His purpose was to go to the 'Black Hole Secret Realm' to do a cultivation mission."
The Black Hole Secret Realm is one of the secret realms of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. Its location is not within any universe country, but it is actually not far from the Azure Universe Country.
"The Black Hole Secret Realm?" The short team leader was somewhat surprised. "No.4 went all this way for a mission?"
"Based on the analysis, NO.4 may want to take a trip back to its home planet on the way."
The horned man brought up a virtual screen displaying Chen Yuan's flight path, with the Milky Way galaxy positioned precisely between the two secret realms.
"Can we set up an ambush in his hometown?" the short man asked.
"I'm afraid that won't work," the horned man replied respectfully. "That galaxy has been covered by a spatial secret technique by an immortal being that conceals the coordinates of the dark universe. Unless the technique is broken, but that would cause too much commotion."
"Then we can only intercept them outside the black hole. Fortunately, they have only been gone for half a year. Even if they take an F-class spaceship, it will take five or six years to get there."
The squad leader pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Notify 'Ghost Shadow' to make his move. Tell him to wait at the border of the Azure Universe Kingdom until we have accurate intelligence before we act."
"Ghost Shadow?" The horned man hesitated slightly, then couldn't help but remind him, "Team leader, Ghost Shadow is only a World Lord level, while the target is No. 4. Wouldn't it be safer to send an Immortal instead?"
"Idiot, what do you know! No. 4 may have high potential, but right now it's only at the cosmic level!"
The short team leader flew into a rage, "You should know that cosmic-level members are forbidden from bringing a guard team when they go on missions!"
Do you really think that Ghost Shadow, a peak World Lord, can't handle a mere cosmic-level genius?
"Besides, what if the other side is just bait? Losing a World Lord is acceptable, but if an Immortal is lost, can you bear that responsibility?!"
"I'm so sorry." The man with the pointed horn quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "I'll make arrangements right away."
"That's more like it." The short man nodded in satisfaction. "Remember, here, I'm the team leader, understand?"
'
"clear!"
On the other side, after a journey of more than seven months in the dark universe, Chen Yuan finally arrived at the Black Hole Secret Realm.
Because the application had been submitted in advance through the virtual universe, the Shiyuan Palace entered the secret realm without any obstacles. After three days of dark universe travel, Chen Yuan finally arrived at his destination planet: Dark Sea Star!
