Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 546 I Opened an Internet Cafe on the Origin Continent

"That's right."

Chen Yuan nodded and explained, "The Lieyuan Technique is not composed of a single secret technique, but rather a collection of many secret techniques created and collected by Senior Yuan himself, containing no fewer than ten thousand secret methods."

"The Dark Heaven Sword that I wield is a combination of secret techniques related to the Great Dao of Destruction from the Lieyuan Technique."

"At the same time, due to the special nature of mental will, the disciple did not inherit the Lieyuan Technique through the normal process, but directly bypassed the secret technique's defense mechanism and stole its contents, which is why it did not trigger the normal destruction of other scrolls."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan shook his head, "If it weren't for that, Senior Yuan wouldn't have sensed it and appeared to talk to his disciple directly."

"—So that's how it is."

Difu looked enlightened.

He didn't detect any flaws in the disciple's words, and even felt that such a special mental will was indeed worth showing up to if Senior Yuan knew about it.

"So, you met Senior Yuan in the secret space, received guidance, and attempted to comprehend the nine Great Daos of the Origin World, embarking on the path to becoming the Lord of the Origin World?"

Seeing his disciple nod, Difu asked curiously, "But, to become the master of the Origin World, one only needs to master more than half of the Great Dao of the Second Level of God King. There should be no need to learn every Great Dao, right?"

"Teacher is right," Chen Yuan smiled. "But the problem is, I don't know which Great Daos suit me. I might as well study them all and then discard those that progress slowly."

"Anyway, I have only been cultivating for about 60,000 years. There is still a long time ahead, and I will have enough opportunities to try and make mistakes."

"Wait, you're only 60,000 years old? Is that the primordial universe time?"

Difu was stunned. After carefully sensing it, he immediately showed an incredulous expression: "It's actually true!"

He never expected that his disciple would be so young!

Sixty thousand years of the primordial universe is only equivalent to six days of the Origin Continent!

Even disregarding the difference in the flow of time, his disciple had only lived for 60,000 days, which was far less than a cycle.

"In such a short time, even in the Origin Continent, it might not be possible to give birth to a Void True God, let alone someone as powerful as you, my disciple."

"Your spiritual will—the Holy Body, even if your methods are slightly weaker, is enough to crush an ordinary peak Chaos Realm cultivator just by its sheer size, and is extremely close to the strength of a Chaos Realm Transcendence cultivator."

Difu shook his head and sighed, "Such powerful talent is simply unheard of. No wonder Senior Yuan suggested that you follow the path of the Lord of the Origin World."

He even had a feeling that his disciple's talent might have far surpassed that of the two ancient kingdom founders.

Perhaps only someone with such talent is qualified to embark on this incredibly difficult yet incredibly powerful path.

In that instant, Dief realized he had struck gold!

"If I remember correctly, Chen Yuan first arrived in Di Qing's territory?"

"I actually stole Di Qing's thunder?"

Difu blinked, thinking to himself, "However, although this fellow clansman is powerful, he is focused on seclusion and doesn't care much about the trivial matters on the Origin Continent."

"Even if Chen Yuan were to descend upon his territory, he might not be able to enter the other party's sights, after all, my disciple is a very cautious person."

It could be said that if he hadn't accidentally noticed the abnormal cause and effect on Di Yuluo, he wouldn't have paid attention to this genius.

If Chen Yuan is given time to develop, even if they meet by then, the other party may not be willing to become his disciple.

"It's all thanks to Wan Yu, otherwise I'm afraid I would have missed out on this disciple."

Difu was extremely relieved. "Hmm, I'll have to reward him properly later."

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Difu quickly regained his composure and looked at Chen Yuan: "Since it is Senior Yuan's suggestion, I will not stop you."

"I will give you the complete set of the inheritance related to the Nine Great Paths."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, although I am an emperor, I must abide by the rules set by the ancestor. Therefore, you can only choose one advanced inheritance as your main cultivation path, and you can only obtain ordinary god-king inheritances for the other great paths."

"Think carefully about which path you should focus on cultivating."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's destroy it."

He no longer has any disadvantages in terms of survival; the next step is to make up for his weakness in output, which is naturally the strength of the Destruction Path.

Furthermore, he has mastered many branches of the Dao of Matter and the Dao of Life, but he has only mastered the Dark Heaven lineage of the Dao of Destruction.

If one focuses on the Great Dao of Destruction in the future, one can rely on inheritance to quickly master these branches of the Great Dao and maximize the benefits.

Of course, the most important thing is that he only collected the two complete original Dao data: life and destruction. The other Daos are still incomplete, and even if he were given the inheritance, he would not be able to optimize them.

Therefore, Chen Yuan could only choose between life and destruction, and naturally he leaned towards destruction.

"The Road to Destruction? Not a bad choice."

Difu nodded slightly. He could see that his disciple was extremely strong in terms of survival. If he were to cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction to supplement his offensive capabilities, his strength would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Then, he took out a stone box and handed it to Chen Yuan: "This is the first volume of the advanced Destruction Inheritance 'The Calamity of Annihilation,' which contains the cultivation methods of the six branches of Destruction. It can be cultivated to the first level of God King."

"Once you have completed the first volume, I will give you the subsequent chapters."

Chen Yuan took the stone box and nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Master!"

"As for other secret techniques—"

Without much thought, Difu tossed out dozens of memory stones: "Take these. Each secret technique corresponds to a branch of the Great Dao, but there is only one."

"There are no methods for combining various branches inside, so its power is much weaker than that of higher-level inheritances. Just practice it and see. If you feel that your progress is slow, then give up decisively."

"Yes, Master." Chen Yuan's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to achieve his goal so easily.

Now, he no longer lacks the carriers for optimizing the Great Dao. He only needs to gather the information and energy of the branches of the Great Dao, and sooner or later he will be able to master all the branches of the Great Dao!

"This apprenticeship was truly worthwhile, Master. Once I rise to prominence, I will repay you handsomely."

Chen Yuan thought to himself as he put away these memory stones.

Just then, Difu continued, "Since you have joined my sect, according to the rules, I have prepared three apprenticeship gifts for you. These secret techniques are the first one."

"As for the second and third gifts, they are usually gifts of treasures or secret treasures."

"Regarding the treasures—I originally prepared ten Chaotic Origin Crystal Fruits," which are treasures that can temporarily enhance your soul's comprehension.

After a pause, Difu continued, "However, this fruit has very high requirements for the user's soul. At least a Chaos Realm soul is required to use it. Although your physical body is strong, my disciple, your soul may not be able to withstand the effects of this fruit."

"So I wanted to ask, do you have any other treasures you'd like, or do you just want this fruit and wait until it matures before using it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan pondered for a moment.

There are requirements for the soul — to be honest, because he comprehended the illusory branch, his soul strength has long exceeded the limit of a true god, so he may not be unable to withstand the effects of the "Hun Yuan Crystal Spirit Fruit".

However, compared to this option, Chen Yuan suddenly had other thoughts.

"Master, may I keep one of these ten Chaos Origin Crystal Fruits and exchange the other nine for other similar treasures?"

Yes, he possesses the Primordial Eye and Primordial Hand. As long as he gathers information about the treasures, he can directly convert them into a large number of identical treasures through energy.

Therefore, what Chen Yuan lacked was not the quantity of treasures, but the variety.

"You mean, replace it with ten completely different treasures?" Dif was slightly surprised, but didn't think much of it, since this request wasn't difficult for him.

So he nodded: "Okay, I will prepare various resources for you, including the 'Hunyuan Crystal Fruit'."

Soon, Chen Yuan received a brand new stone box containing ten completely different Hunyuan Spirit Fruits.

However, now was not the time to examine it. Difu then asked, "As for this last gift, how is the secret treasure you are currently using? Would you like me to bestow upon you a powerful divine king-level secret treasure?"

"No need, Master. Although my treasure is not powerful, it suits me perfectly, so there's no need to exchange it for now."

Chen Yuan shook his head and took out his full set of equipment.

Looking at the several Chaos Peak Treasures surrounding his disciple, Difu was slightly surprised. With his discerning eye, he could naturally see that Chen Yuan had not lied to him at all; these treasures were indeed highly compatible with his disciple.

If its full power can be unleashed, it is in no way inferior to a typical God-King level treasure.

"—In that case, I won't prepare any other secret treasures for you."

Difu shook his head slightly, "But for this last gift, I really can't think of anything else I can give you."

"7

"Why don't you think of something, my disciple? Just tell me what you need, and I will try my best to fulfill it."

He changed the original fixed gift into a request, depending on what the apprentice wanted.

"Is there a demand? —"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment. He didn't lack secret techniques or treasures now; the most important thing was—

Information on the Great Dao?

Suddenly, a thought struck him: among the merit rewards of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, one could exchange for the qualification to "directly face the complete Origin Great Dao".

If he could see all the Great Daos, there would be no need for him to painstakingly travel throughout the primordial universe to collect information.

However, just as Chen Yuan was about to speak, he was stunned again.

"wrong."

He suddenly realized, "This is the Origin Continent; time flows too slowly here!"

"It will take me at least five thousand days to collect all the information about the original Great Dao. Excluding the destruction of life, the remaining seven Great Daos will take another thirty-five thousand days!"

"Converted to the time of the cosmic sea, that's 3.5 epochs."

too slow!

Chen Yuan figured that even if he traveled all over the three thousand-dimensional universe, it would only take a few hundred epochs at most, and by then he would be able to collect about 70-80% of the information on the remaining seven Great Daos.

Once he has collected enough information about the Great Dao, he can directly exchange his merits for the qualification to face the Origin Great Dao, which will save him at least 20,000 to 30,000 days.

Compared to making direct requests to his master, collecting data from the primordial universe was much more convenient.

"It seems that confronting the source is not an option for the time being. What other choice do we have?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, and his eyes lit up: "I've got it!"

He raised his head: "Master, I have a request."

"Speak," Difu said with a faint smile, wanting to hear what his disciple had to say.

"This disciple possesses a secret technique that requires the assistance of many powerful individuals to cultivate."

Chen Yuan said, "Therefore, I wish to borrow the power of the Yanfeng Guild to help my disciple spread this secret technique."

That's right, the secret method he mentioned is the virtual universe.

Since this secret technique was optimized to the Chaos level, its cultivation progress has been extremely slow, mainly because the user's life level is too low.

After all, they are all beings from the cosmic sea, at most reaching the True God realm. Trying to advance the upgrade of the Chaos-level secret technique is like a small horse pulling a heavy cart; quantitative change is no longer enough to lead to qualitative change.

The current virtual universe is not lacking in quantity, but in quality. Only with more powerful individuals joining can the upgrade of secret techniques be steadily advanced.

The Yanfeng Guild Hall, which spans most of the Origin Continent, is the best target for promotion.

That's right, Chen Yuan wants to use the power of the Yanfeng Guild to expand the virtual universe to the entire Origin Continent!

In other words, he wants to open an internet cafe on the Origin Continent.
