"A great opportunity?"
Luo Feng secretly looked forward to it.
What Chen Yuan calls a great opportunity must be something extraordinary.
After all, even the Thousand Hearts Nine Prisons Tower, which he found so captivating, was a treasure that Chen Yuan had crafted in just one day, and could hardly be considered a stroke of luck.
"Wait, one day?"
Luo Feng suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "By the way, you only spent one day forging this Nine Prisons Tower?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded, then smiled and said, "Of course, it's just one day in reality, but that doesn't mean I can really finish it in just one day."
"After all, even the Nine Hells Tower has a time acceleration effect, so of course I have a similar treasure."
"Actually, although I only used one day in real life, I actually spent a full ten years refining this treasure under time acceleration."
Because of the analysis of the Star Tower, the optimization path of the Primordial Palace, like the Azure Sky Sword, has paved the way for the entire tenth tier.
However, unlike the Azure Sky Sword, which has been optimized to [Tenth Rank, Level Nine], his Origin Palace has only been optimized to the Tenth Rank, Level Five due to limitations of primordial energy and time.
After all, starting from the Supreme Treasure, each optimization stage requires at least hundreds of billions of energy, and the energy consumption increases with the item's level.
For example, if a level 5 Origin Palace is to be upgraded to level 6, it would require 600 billion units of Origin Energy!
This is why, even though Chen Yuan gains a lot of primal energy every day, the Azure Sky Sword alone consumed more than four trillion primal energy, directly depleting most of his reserves, leaving only a little over two trillion.
This amount of energy is far from enough to optimize the Primordial Palace to its maximum level. Chen Yuan can only optimize it to level five for now, leaving less than one trillion energy as reserves for unforeseen circumstances.
In any case, the performance of the Primordial Palace was already more than sufficient for use in the original universe, and further improvements would not make much difference, except that time acceleration would have some effect.
However, the level 5 Origin Palace already has a normal time acceleration of 3500 times, and can even briefly activate a 10,000 times acceleration at any cost, which is more than enough for Chen Yuan.
It was precisely because of this 3500-fold acceleration that Chen Yuan was able to complete the forging of the Nine Prisons Tower so quickly.
Of course, this was also due to his improved treasure-refining skills. In addition, the Nine Prisons Tower was only of the ninth rank and sixth grade, which was much easier than refining the eighth-grade peak 'Black Abyss Palace', which is why it was so fast.
"So that's how it is."
Luo Feng nodded in realization.
As a layman, he didn't know what level it would take to forge a top-tier treasure in ten years, but it certainly wouldn't be more exaggerated than the extraordinary behavior of forging it in a single day.
Therefore, Luo Feng was only slightly surprised and not shocked by Chen Yuan's speed in refining treasures.
In comparison, he was more interested in the "great opportunity" that Chen Yuan mentioned.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan was too tight-lipped. No matter how much Luo Feng pressed him, he refused to reveal what this opportunity was. He only said that he would tell him in person the day he completed the Nine Prisons Tower trial.
"Okay, okay."
After repeated questioning yielded no results, Luo Feng had no choice but to give up on the question. He then went to the Nine Prisons Tower and briefly refined it.
It was then absorbed into the body's internal world.
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, Chen Yuan suddenly called out to Luo Feng, "Now that you're a Realm Lord, when are you planning to go out for training?"
I probably won't be going out anytime soon.
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "I only broke through to the Realm Lord level 60 years ago. My original plan was to continue cultivating in Chaos City for another three to five hundred years to perfect the secret technique before leaving."
"Of course, with the help of the Nine Hell Tower now, once I control the first level and gain a hundredfold acceleration, this time should be shortened considerably."
"I see." Chen Yuan nodded. "In that case, I have a favor to ask."
"Oh?" Luo Feng asked curiously, "It's rare to find someone who needs help."
He immediately smiled and said, "Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll definitely help if I can."
"It's really nothing serious," Chen Yuan smiled. "Since you're not leaving anytime soon, I'd like to borrow your 'Wings of Slaughter' for some research."
"Kill Wu Yuyi?" Luo Fengyi hadn't expected this request.
It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it; it was mainly because, according to his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, the grade of the Wu-Slaying Wings wasn't high. According to Chen Yuan, it was just an ordinary treasure.
So Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "The Wu-Slaying Wings probably won't be of much use to you, right? You can easily forge a top-tier treasure like the Nine Hells Tower, why would you care about an ordinary treasure?"
"The main thing is that the quality of your Wu-Slaying Wings is quite special."
Chen Yuan didn't hide anything from him and said directly, "I suspect this is a component of a powerful treasure, so although the grade of the Wu-Slaying Wings is low, its essence should not be bad."
"I study this treasure in order to understand its materials and secret patterns, so as to improve my treasure-making skills."
"I see." Luo Feng nodded. "Although I can't see anything special about this treasure, since you need it, take it."
As he spoke, he decisively took out the Wu-killing Wings and handed them to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan took the wings and smiled at Luo Feng, saying, "Thanks."
"Remember to come back and get it when you leave."
"Understood." Luo Feng smiled slightly. "Now that this matter is settled, I'll head back to continue my cultivation."
After saying goodbye, Luo Feng immediately left the Primal Secret Realm and returned to Chaos City.
After Luo Feng left, Chen Yuan returned to the Shiyuan Hall and called out, "Irele, come here for a moment."
"What is it, Master?" Irene flew over quickly.
"How's your cultivation going lately?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile, glancing at the white-haired girl.
During this time, Irene stayed in the Primordial Palace, using the time there to accelerate her cultivation.
At the same time, after the grade of the Primordial Palace is upgraded, Irelia, as an intelligent life form, can still continue to improve her computing power through this treasure, thereby continuing to increase the gene multiplier of her divine body.
However, unlike when she broke through to immortality, she no longer has the assistance of the universe's origin. Now, with the increased computing power of Irelia, improving her genetic level will not only require a lot of time to slowly transform, but also a considerable investment of resources.
Of course, with Chen Yuan's financial resources, supplying these resources was a piece of cake. In addition, the time acceleration of the Shiyuan Palace made Irene's cultivation efficiency extremely high.
So she immediately replied, "My cultivation has been going very smoothly lately, Master."
"My genetic level has successfully increased 9800 times, and it is estimated that in another 20,000 to 30,000 years I will achieve perfect genes and receive the gifts of the primordial universe."
"As for the level of the laws, thanks to the master's memories, my spatial law has reached level 20, and my time law has reached level 18."
"I have already grasped the lower-level principles: water, wood, fire, wind, and light."
Ireil blinked: "Regarding arcane arts, I still haven't figured out the strongest one, but my 'Sword of the Great Void' has already reached the level of an ultimate arcane art of a universe master."
"Quite an improvement." Chen Yuan was slightly surprised, then a smile appeared on his face: "It seems you've put in a lot of effort over the years."
"Of course." Irene chuckled. "In these four hundred years, I have never left the Primordial Palace. I have cultivated inside for at least a million years, so my improvement is naturally enormous."
Because of the "possession" technique, Irelia only needs to copy Chen Yuan's laws to comprehend them, without needing to comprehend the laws of the outside world. Therefore, she will not be affected by the blurring of laws caused by the acceleration of time.
This is why Ireil's cultivation speed has increased so much during her million years in the Primordial Palace, even faster than Chen Yuan's original cultivation speed. Of course, the consequence of such cultivation is that her future is now completely tied to Chen Yuan.
Furthermore, Irene would copy down all the errors Chen Yuan made while comprehending the laws, and she would be unable to actively correct these mistakes because she could only apply the laws but did not understand their meaning.
However, Irene didn't care about any of that. In any case, her fate was already tied to her master's. Wherever Chen Yuan went, she would go. She didn't care about anything else.
"Good, it seems you have achieved your goal from back then."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I can't go back on my word."
"Bring out your 'Wisdom Master,' and I'll upgrade it to the Supreme Treasure grade."
Ireil's eyes lit up, and she quickly took out the Wisdom Master Set and handed it to Chen Yuan: "Thank you, Master!"
"Hehe, no big deal." Chen Yuan took the set and glanced at it. From his current perspective, the Wisdom Master set was already rather rudimentary, since its quality was only that of a valuable treasure.
"Luckily, we have plenty of materials now, more than enough to upgrade the Wisdom Master to a top-tier treasure."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Since that's the case, why not go all the way from the start? It's for Irene anyway."
As an intelligent life form born from the optimization system, Irelia is bound to him by soul, making her arguably the closest person to him in the world.
Chen Yuan would certainly not be stingy with his own people.
Anyway, he had already collected all the information, so it wasn't very useful anymore. He just used it to practice.
"Then let's do it this way. Give Irelia a set of top-tier treasure armor; that should be enough for her until she becomes the Lord of the Universe."
"As for the future, once my technology reaches the highest level and there is no shortage of materials, I will continue to upgrade her."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan took out a mountain of various precious materials, preparing to upgrade the 'Wisdom Master'.
Of course, he still entrusted the task of refining the treasure to the Abyss Whale clone.
As the Abyss Whale Chen Yuan flew over, he skillfully condensed the 'Myriad Transformation Cauldron' and threw materials into it one by one, beginning the smelting process.
With his current skills, he can now melt multiple materials at the same time, greatly improving his efficiency in refining treasures.
Of course, since the "Wisdom Master" is a set, it is equivalent to refining multiple top-tier treasures at once, so the total time required is still longer than refining a single top-tier palace.
Chen Yuan secretly estimated that, given his current efficiency in refining treasures, it would take him five or six hundred years to complete the upgrade of the Wisdom Master, which translates to about two months in the outside world.
So he said, "It will take at least five hundred years for the Wisdom Lord to upgrade. You should continue your cultivation. You don't need to stay here and watch."
"Master," Ireil blinked, a look of interest on her face, "this treasure refining is quite interesting, can I learn it?"
"You want to learn the art of treasure refining?" Chen Yuan paused slightly, then nodded. "Sure, I happen to have Master Zuoshanke's treasure refining manual with me. You can take a look."
"Thank you, Master!" Irene's eyes lit up.
After taking out the Treasure Refining Manual, Chen Yuan himself left the Shiyuan Palace.
Now that all the clones have cultivation tasks, the main body naturally can't be idle either. In fact, he has already arranged cultivation tasks for the main body.
That is, to comprehend various lower-level laws by integrating one's will into the origin of the laws.
That's right. Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Yuan's lower-level laws are almost perfect. They are only "almost" perfect, reaching 99.99%. The only truly perfect lower-level law is the Law of Wind.
In addition, the Law of Lightning is currently only 60% complete and needs to be improved gradually.
Chen Yuan planned to first comprehend and perfect the other lower-level laws, and then begin to improve the Law of Thunder. After all the lower-level laws were perfected, he would then devote all his energy to correcting the errors in the laws.
Without hesitation, Chen Yuan first chose the Law of Light, merging his mental power with the essence of light. His comprehension of the Law of Light immediately entered the fast lane, and he was moving towards perfection at an extremely fast pace.
However, unlike the Law of Wind, which he was extremely familiar with, his research on other lower-level laws was not in-depth; he had only studied them to 99.99% at the time.
Then it stopped.
If these laws are only 0.01% away from perfection, then the Law of Wind was only 0.000001% away from perfection, which was a level that could truly be broken through with a single thought.
As for the other lower-level laws, they are somewhat inferior, but now that they can integrate with the origin of the laws to comprehend them, the speed is not much slower.
According to Chen Yuan's estimate, he will be able to fully comprehend the Law of Light in about a month.
However, just as his four avatars were each performing their duties and focusing on cultivation, he suddenly received a message from the founder of the giant axe a few days later.
Virtual universe, Thunder Island, inside Chen Yuan's mansion.
As soon as Chen Yuan logged in, he saw several figures. Apart from the founder of Giant Axe, all five top executives of Virtual Universe Company were there.
"What happened?" Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw so many people, then asked with a smile, "Why did you all come here?"
"Chen Yuan." The founder of the giant axe took a deep breath and said, "I just received a message from the three major alien races, just a few days ago..."
One cosmic ruler from each of the three alien races has fallen.
"The aliens claim you did this, is that true?"
"About this matter," Chen Yuan smiled, readily admitting, "it was indeed me who did it."
As he spoke, he explained to the group the battle at the Star Tower and his subsequent acts of revenge.
It was at this moment that Giant Axe and the others realized that Chen Yuan's strength had reached such a level that he could fight four people alone—not counting the Void True Demon God, that's five of the strongest beings in the universe!
Although it was only within the primordial universe, this power already surpassed that of any universe lord.
At the very least, it's no longer appropriate to refer to Chen Yuan as the Universe Venerable.
Therefore, Giant Axe proposed to elevate Chen Yuan's status to the Lord of the Universe and bestow upon him the title of Lord of the Primordial Beginning!
