Chapter 341 Original Ancestor: Do you want to learn about virtual universes?
Chen Yuan was actually prepared for the discovery of the progenitor.
However, he only believed that the special features of the secret techniques would be discovered, since he often practiced the secret techniques in the virtual universe.
Unexpectedly, the Primordial Ancestor even noticed the optimization of the treasure?
"Don't be surprised." The Primordial Ancestor explained gently, "Do you still remember the weapon you manifested when you first challenged the Trial Tower during your planetary-level era?"
He smiled and continued, "That was the first time an item appeared in the virtual universe that couldn't be fully simulated, because this weapon actually merged with your soul."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan finally remembered.
That's right, that was when he had just joined the Black Dragon Mountain branch and needed to pass the test of the planetary-level trial tower.
It was around that time that he first attempted to materialize the Azure Sky Sword, only to discover that the virtual universe could not simulate the effect of "soul binding".
However, since the Qingxiao Sword's "100% mastery" ability was still available at the time, he didn't think much of it. He just felt that he had taken advantage of a loophole in the virtual universe, and he was quite pleased with himself.
Unexpectedly, this matter alarmed the Primordial Ancestor, who had already noticed these anomalies, but he himself had not realized it.
"So Grandmaster discovered it so early." Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly. He thought he had hidden it quite well.
"After all, there are very few things that a virtual universe cannot simulate, and even fewer that would appear on a planetary-level little guy."
The progenitor smiled faintly: "I spent a long time researching it, but I didn't find anything. So I had the virtual universe simulate a weapon that you could completely control, but that's not the effect of your weapon in reality."
"I see--"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath. "So, that means my master has been watching me since then? Including my later experiences?"
"Not really." The Primordial Ancestor smiled slightly. "I have been suppressed by the Primordial Universe for countless epochs. I spend most of my time alone, focusing on research. After all, I can't do anything else."
"I will only be alerted when something unusual happens in the virtual universe."
"Of course, although I haven't been monitoring your situation constantly, you've caused quite a few unusual occurrences, so I've checked on you quite a few times."
Chen Yuan listened as the Ancestor recounted his deeds with great familiarity, such as how he improved his talent through the Thousand Winds Secret Manual, the unique nature of his mental power, how he subsequently enhanced his bloodline genes, and the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, the Willpower Secret Technique, and so on.
Hearing these deeds, Chen Yuan himself felt remarkable, which explained why they repeatedly attracted the attention of the Primordial Ancestor.
"I didn't realize I'd already revealed so much."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Haha." The Primordial Ancestor chuckled. "The last time I observed you was when you created the 'Primordial Spirit Sword Intent'."
"After all, I've never even seen a secret technique related to willpower, let alone something like this in a virtual universe, so it naturally caught my attention."
"I must say, the secret technique you created is truly amazing. I've studied it for hundreds of years in the Land of Origin, and I've only barely grasped a trace of its essence; I haven't even scratched the surface."
As he spoke, Yuan Zu looked at Chen Yuan with gentle eyes: "It was then that I knew the day when we would truly meet was not far off."
"As expected, in just a few hundred years, your combat power has soared again, and you are now comparable to a sixth-order universe master with your immortal body."
"From that moment on, I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival."
"What!" Chen Yuan was slightly startled: "Grandmaster, you've been waiting for me all this time?"
He really didn't expect that what he thought would be just an ordinary visit would actually attract the appearance of the original ancestor, and that the other party had been waiting for him!
"Could it be that the Primordial Ancestor believes I possess the potential to seize control of the primordial universe, and hopes to release it after I successfully seize control in the future?"
Chen Yuan had this thought, but he didn't say it aloud.
According to his plan for the future, he had no need to possess the original universe; he would have a way to comprehend the fundamental Dao contained within it in the future.
At this moment, Chen Yuan just wanted to hear what this grandmaster was thinking.
If it's merely to free himself from the primordial universe, then he can do it without needing to possess another body.
The simplest way is to use the World Beasts Calamity to threaten the primordial cosmic will!
Once he grows to the point where he can deal with the World Beasts, the Primal Universe will definitely agree to his request, since that's exactly what they did in the original story.
"Whatever your master's orders are, please do so." Chen Yuan said respectfully.
"Haha, you flatter me. What use would I be?" Yuanzu waved his hand and said with a smile, "But I do have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Please speak, Master."
The progenitor's expression turned slightly serious as he asked, "Can you pass on the method by which your treasures merge with your soul?"
"You mean soul binding?" Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback.
"That's right." The Primordial nodded, his voice slightly grave. "I have a feeling that your soul-binding ability is extremely important to me."
"If I can delve into the principles within, I may be able to break free from the oppression of the primordial universe in the future through my own strength."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's heart stirred, because he remembered that the path the Primordial Ancestor was currently comprehending should be the Void Realm Great Dao of the Soul lineage.
This is the power of the Great Dao that the Primordial Ancestor, who will go to the Origin Continent in the future, comprehended after in-depth research into the secret method of the "Virtual Universe". This Great Dao is similar to the "Illusory Realm Dao" that Dongbo Xueying later mastered, both of which are soul-type Great Daos.
However, due to the incompleteness of the Soul-related Great Dao on the Origin Continent, the Primordial Ancestor did not pursue this path to its fullest extent. Instead, he turned to cultivate the World Origin Great Dao midway and eventually merged the two to form the Illusory World Great Dao.
It wasn't until Dongbo Xueying later brought the illusory realm to its ultimate state that he finally created a complete path for the soul.
At this time, the virtual universe secret technique created by the original ancestor belongs to the secret technique related to the Great Dao of the Soul. It is naturally compatible with any Great Dao of the Soul, which is why he is concerned about soul binding.
After all, Master Zuoshanke once said that the soul binding ability might hide a branch of the Great Way of the Soul, so it is not surprising that it attracts the original ancestors who also walk the path of the soul.
only-
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "This soul binding ability is related to my talent. The content involved is too profound. I can't even observe it, let alone comprehend it."
"However, please rest assured, Grandmaster," Chen Yuan continued, "I am currently only an Immortal, and my perspective is limited. When I advance to the level of a Universe Lord or the strongest being in the future, I should be able to comprehend these essences."
"At that time, I will definitely share what I have learned with my master."
"Hehe, okay." Yuanzu smiled gently, without any anxious expression on his face. After all, he had waited for so many years, he really didn't care about a little more time.
Besides, given his grand-disciple's cultivation speed, it would probably only take him tens of thousands of years to become a true god, which would be just a snap of the fingers in the eyes of the Primordial Ancestor.
"There's no rush. Just let me know when you have news."
The ancestor regained his gentle and calm expression. He looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Besides what happened just now, I have another question I'd like to ask you."
"Please speak, Master."
"I'd like to ask you—would you like to learn the secret techniques of the Virtual Universe?" The Primordial smiled slightly.
"You're going to teach me about virtual universes?!" Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise. "This secret technique must have very high requirements, are you sure I can master it?"
"The virtual universe is certainly difficult. According to the division of the cosmic sea, it should be considered a top-level secret technique of the tenth rank, which is the limit level of the strongest in the universe."
At this point, a confident glint appeared on the Primordial Ancestor's face: "Not to mention, after countless eons of dedicated research, I have pushed this secret technique to a higher level; perhaps it can be called an eleventh-tier secret technique!"
"Therefore, the threshold for cultivating this secret technique is indeed very high. Even looking at the entire universe, I'm afraid no one is qualified to cultivate it."
As he spoke, Yuanzu looked at Chen Yuan and smiled slightly: "Except for you."
"Me?" Chen Yuan blinked and pointed to himself.
"That's right," the Primordial Ancestor affirmed. "To learn the secrets of the Virtual Universe, one must start with the origin of the universe and establish the 'Virtual Universe Origin'."
"This requirement is extremely difficult for anyone. Even I was able to create this secret technique back then because I secretly learned it during my numerous battles with the primordial universe."
"But you are different." The Primordial smiled. "I can sense that your willpower is very special, with a characteristic of mimicking all things."
"Based on this characteristic, your will should be able to silently infiltrate the origin of the universe and explore the mysteries of the primordial universe without disturbing the original will."
"Plus your talent for turning everything into your own."
"You can easily overcome the cultivation threshold, and the perfect fit of this secret technique allows you to perfect it without any obstacles," the Primordial Ancestor winked at him. "Tell me, isn't this secret technique naturally suited to you?"
Chen Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
That's accurate, incredibly accurate!
He never expected that the Primordial Ancestor could discover the special nature of his mental power even under the protection of the Supreme Rules, and guess that he could infiltrate the origin of the universe!
Yes, the Primordial Ancestor was right. With the help of mental power, he could indeed successfully construct his own virtual universe origin, and then, through system optimization, gradually perfect the secret technique.
It's even possible that the secrets of the virtual universe will be pushed to a higher level in the future, because this is a secret method that naturally carries the great path of the illusory soul!
Once you comprehend the power of the soul branches from the soul binding in the future, you can fill them with whatever you want, gradually mastering the perfect soul-type Dao.
Therefore, Chen Yuan was naturally excited when he heard the ancestor say that he would pass on the secrets of the virtual universe to him.
Even knowing that the original ancestor must have his own purpose, Chen Yuan didn't care.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect." Chen Yuan slowly exhaled and said solemnly, "Grandmaster, please feel free to make any requests. I will definitely do what I can."
"Even if it's just to help my master break the suppression, I will find a way to do it."
"Oh?" Yuanzu's expression changed slightly, seemingly not expecting Chen Yuan to say such a thing.
But he still shook his head slightly and smiled gently, "Good child, you don't need to do so much."
"Actually, my request is very simple." After a pause, the Primordial Ancestor continued, "That is, once your virtual universe technique is fully mastered, I want you to succeed me and become the sole virtual universe of the Primordial Universe."
"I know that with your talent, Chen Yuan, this secret technique will definitely surpass mine in the future."
Yuanzu smiled and revealed his true purpose: "At that time, I can learn from you and make up for my shortcomings."
"Once my secret technique breaks through again, I might be able to break free from the suppression of the primordial universe on my own."
"So, Grandmaster gambled everything on my future." Chen Yuan gave the original ancestor a deep look: "Grandmaster really believed that I would surpass him and push this secret technique to a higher level?"
"I believe you," Yuanzu said, only four words.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled.
He nodded and solemnly said, "Alright! Then I will certainly live up to my master's expectations!"
"Hehe, good boy."
Yuan Zu nodded with satisfaction, then extended a finger and tapped Chen Yuan's forehead.
In an instant, a flood of information rushed into his mind. Even with Chen Yuan's processing speed, it took him two full hours to finally receive all the information.
As for understanding? Sorry, there's just too much information; he simply can't understand it.
"I can only leave it to the system," Chen Yuan thought to himself, then instructed the system to collect the information in his mind.
After doing all this, looking at the primordial ancestor's slightly ethereal body, he bowed deeply: "Thank you for bestowing the Dharma upon me, Grandmaster." "Hehe, no need for that."
The Primordial Ancestor shook his head and then said, "Remember not to tell anyone about your cultivation of the Virtual Universe Secret Technique."
"This secret technique is still too sensitive for the primordial cosmic will; we mustn't give it an opportunity to punish us."
"Disciple understands." Chen Yuan nodded.
Just kidding, the original ancestor almost possessed the primordial universe using the secret technique of the virtual universe, and his original will probably have PTSD.
If he dares to show himself openly, he will probably end up like Master Zuoshanke, being watched closely by the will of origin, preventing him from doing anything out of line.
Even the mind and will can no longer absorb the source energy, because this is essentially an act of theft!
It would have been fine if the Origin Will hadn't been paying attention, but once it was discovered, do you think the Origin Will would have taught it a lesson?
Therefore, even if Chen Yuan were to cultivate this secret technique in the future, he would definitely do so in secret and would not reveal a single word to the outside world until he had mastered it.
"Good child, the future depends on you." Yuan Zu smiled slightly, "I should go back now. Staying any longer might attract unnecessary attention."
"By the way, don't tell your teachers about our conversation. Once I unblock you, just make up some excuse to get out of it."
"Ming." Chen Yuan bowed respectfully, "Respectfully seeing off my grandmaster."
The Primordial smiled, and after removing the shield, nodded to the Lord of Darkness and the others.
His figure then became ethereal and eventually disappeared.
