Chapter 357 Breakthrough in the Meditation Technique! Complete Spacetime Authority!
Time flies, and eighty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since successfully advancing in the virtual universe, Chen Yuan's cultivation has returned to normal, and he has made steady progress in all aspects.
Moreover, as time went by, he discovered that not only was his progress in various cultivation areas improving rapidly, but it was also having a positive effect on other cultivation paths.
For example, with the Treasure Refining Technique, under the guidance of the "True God Treasure Refining Technique," Chen Yuan quickly became adept at refining supreme treasures at the True God stage after countless practices.
Moreover, as his treasure-refining skills improved, he also comprehended various kinds of True God-level secret runes.
After the Soul Devouring Beast's avatar tirelessly studied and analyzed these runes, comprehended their essence, and successfully applied them to the secret techniques, indirectly accelerating the research progress of the True God-level secret techniques.
In addition, Chen Yuan made quite good progress in correcting the fallacies of the law.
With the virtual universe body as a perfect reference point, Chen Yuan seemed to have a reference answer and was rushing headlong down the road of correcting errors.
He boldly erased all the erroneous laws he had comprehended, even at the cost of his spacetime laws falling to the nineteenth floor of the Tongtian Bridge.
Fortunately, he could still fill in the gaps in his own laws by referring to the correct insights. After spending decades, he finally regained a complete understanding of the two laws of space and time and returned to the level of the twentieth floor.
After that, Chen Yuan felt that when he sorted out the distorted laws again, it was much easier and the sorting efficiency was also much faster.
Based on this, and with the reference of the virtual universe body, he is confident that he can bring forward the completion time of the sorting out by another two or three hundred years.
In other words, at the latest, it will be eight hundred years before he is promoted to the level of a Universe Venerable.
"And unexpectedly, the improvement of the laws actually accelerated the advancement of the Sitting Meditation Technique."
Chen Yuan stared at the panel and saw that in the Secret Techniques section, his proficiency with the Sitting Meditation Technique had reached the level of "Entry-level 99.99%".
This was eighty years after the advancement of the virtual universe, and approximately 1900 years (primitive universe time) had passed since he broke through to the state of forgetting himself.
"Based on my past rate of improvement, it should take me about two thousand years to break through from the Selflessness Realm to the Formlessness Realm."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "But because the laws have recently fallen and then risen again, it has indirectly affected the efficiency of the Sitting Meditation Technique, causing it to reach the critical point of breakthrough a hundred years earlier."
He only just realized that laws could affect the efficiency of willpower enhancement. Before this, he had always thought that only consciousness could influence willpower, since the former is the soil in which the latter grows.
"But there's no point in getting to the bottom of it, since I don't rely on laws to enhance my will anyway."
Chen Yuan stared intently at the proficiency level on the panel, thinking to himself, "At this rate, I should be able to break through the Sitting Meditation Technique in one or two days at the earliest, and seven or eight days at the latest."
The "sitting in oblivion" method is actually the fundamental secret of his spiritual cultivation, and it is closely related to his spiritual realm.
Once the secret technique is mastered, it will also mean that Chen Yuan's spiritual realm will break through to the next stage, and...
"My will will also break through to the next stage!"
Chen Yuan sighed inwardly. His will had been stuck at the peak of the fifth rank for a long time, but now he finally saw the dawn of a breakthrough.
There was no way around it; the gap between the Lord of the Universe and a true god was simply too vast. Only a little over eight hundred years had passed since he took control of the Star Tower, so how could he possibly break through so easily?
Although there are quite a few universe lords who possess the will of the strongest being in the universe, such as his teacher, the Lord of Darkness, or the Lord of Chaos City, it took countless epochs of time to achieve that.
Not to mention, Chen Yuan is only an Immortal at the moment, and the strength of his consciousness is also an important factor affecting his will.
The gap between his consciousness and will was too great; it's normal that he couldn't break through without external forces.
"Hurry up and break through!"
Chen Yuan stared at the panel with anticipation: "Only when my will breaks through to the True God level can I continue to cultivate the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent."
His current primordial spirit sword intent is at the fourth level of perfection. Only after his will transforms into a true god can he begin to cultivate the fifth level.
As long as he masters the seventh-order primordial spirit sword intent and cultivates his will to the peak of true godhood, he can master the ability to kill the strongest beings in the universe.
Furthermore, this method can ignore the protection of the original universe, because the path of will is independent of the control of the original universe and will naturally not be affected.
Of course, a seventh-level primordial spirit sword intent is not enough to be safe.
The attack rules of this secret art of willpower are as follows: if the willpower is of the same level, it can affect the opponent in battle; if it is of a higher level, it can severely damage the opponent's willpower, causing them to fall into a coma.
Only when one's willpower is two levels higher than the opponent's can the use of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent achieve the goal of annihilating the opponent's willpower.
That's why Chen Yuan only chose to kill three third-tier universe lords from different races, because his will was only at the fifth tier.
If he were facing a fourth- or fifth-tier universe master, although he could easily kill them with the help of his primordial spirit sword intent, he would be powerless against enemies with clones, unable to eliminate all clones at once like he could with his will to annihilate them.
"Most of the ancestors of the other major peak races in the primordial universe had eighth-order strength, and very few had seventh-order strength."
Chen Yuan said quietly, "Therefore, even if I possess the will of a True God at its peak and the sword intent of a seventh-level Primordial Spirit, I can only kill a seventh-level True God at most, and I have no power against most True Gods."
If one cannot kill a true god through willpower, it is also difficult to kill him through other means, unless it is in the cosmic sea.
Within the primordial universe, the upper limit of any attack is only the peak of the sixth rank. Facing these seventh or even eighth rank alien progenitors, he was basically unable to kill them.
Even with the power of the Azure Sky Sword, one must pierce the opponent's body with the blade to effectively deplete their divine power.
But after suffering a loss once, how could those ancestors continue to fight him in close combat? They weren't stupid.
"Therefore, if I want to truly achieve invincibility in the primordial universe, I still need to master the will of a true god of the void, that is, to break through to the third level of the Sitting in Oblivion Technique, the 'Oblivion Realm'."
"Based on this, by combining it with eight or even nine layers of primordial spirit sword intent, one can kill any true god under the protection of the rules of the primordial universe."
That will be the time when he truly unifies the primordial universe!
Under Chen Yuan's expectant gaze, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and his proficiency in the Sitting in Oblivion Technique finally took another step forward.
[Sitting in Meditation Method, Current Progress: Proficient 0.01%]
At the same time, Chen Yuan's spiritual realm also began to transform, breaking through from the first level of "selflessness" to the second level of "forgetting form".
Forgetting one's physical form, as the name suggests, means forgetting one's physical form.
At this point, even if Chen Yuan's body and soul both die, he can survive for a long time simply by relying on his will, and he can even reincarnate with his memories.
Normally, only the strongest beings from the Origin Continent can reincarnate with memories, such as his teacher, the Mountain Guest, whose previous life was the God King of Pu from the Origin Continent.
Because the State of Jin was destroyed by the State of Food, the wife, friends and ministers of the God King of Jin all perished. With nowhere else to go, he fled to the Cosmic Sea, and was eventually killed by the Primordial Universe under the influence of the Supreme Rules!
Before his death, the God King of Jin used a secret reincarnation technique, which allowed him to be reborn in the primordial universe and become the Mountain-Sitting Guest he is today.
The secret technique of reincarnation requires an extremely high level of willpower; at least a Saint-level willpower is needed to accomplish it.
Even though Chen Yuan's will was still far below the Saint Transformation level after breaking through the Forgetfulness Realm, he could still reincarnate with his memories.
"Moreover, I feel that the ability to reincarnate is not a special effect of the Forgetfulness Realm."
Chen Yuan said quietly, "Of course, since his will has not yet fully transformed, the special abilities of this realm have not yet been displayed on the panel."
Unexpectedly, this transformation of will lasted for three whole days, longer than any before.
"It took so long."
When Chen Yuan felt that his will transformation was complete, he immediately opened the panel and looked at his will attribute.
[Willpower Strength: Tier 10, Level 4]
"It actually went straight to level four!" Upon seeing this attribute, Chen Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He clearly remembered that before his spiritual realm had undergone a transformation, the Willpower column clearly stated "Ninth Rank, Ninth Level".
Now that he has broken through, he has not only crossed a major realm, but also broken through four levels, directly reaching the will equivalent to the mid-stage of a true god!
According to the classification of the cosmic sea, it is at least equivalent to the will of a seventh-order true god.
"I never imagined that a breakthrough in my mental state could bring such a tremendous boost to my will. Could it be because my previous accumulation of knowledge was too substantial?"
Chen Yuan sighed inwardly. In terms of accumulation, he had indeed not relaxed his will training even when he was at the peak of the fifth rank.
It should be noted that when his will reached the limit of the Lord of the Universe, his progress in the meditation technique was only about 70%.
Now, several hundred years later, his mastery of the meditation technique has improved by nearly 30%. Although this level of proficiency has not yet allowed his will to cross the threshold of true godhood, it has laid a solid foundation for future breakthroughs.
In addition, the fourth level of perfected primordial spirit sword intent also has the effect of tempering will, which is why Chen Yuan was able to jump several levels as soon as he broke through, and his will directly leaped to the mid-stage of true god.
Such a powerful will even surpasses the accumulation of the Dark Lord's teacher over countless eras. After all, the so-called Lord of the Universe possesses the will of the strongest being in the universe, but in reality, his will has only reached the sixth level.
A sixth-order True God is essentially a blank slate, just like a first-order Universe Lord, a shameful existence that can be killed by a stronger being of a lower order.
Generally, a true god with complete abilities is at least at the seventh level. In other words, once Chen Yuan's will breaks through, it can directly rival those powerful true gods who have accumulated years of experience.
"With such a strong will, not to mention cultivating the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent, he could even meet the requirements for cultivating the sixth level."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but show a look of joy.
According to the cultivation requirements of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent, a level 10 level will can cultivate to the fifth level, a level 4 level will can cultivate to the sixth level, and a level 7 level will can cultivate to the seventh level.
Once he successfully cultivates the sixth level of the Primordial Spirit Sword Intent, combined with his willpower, the power of his willpower secret technique will increase by two levels. At that time, he will be able to completely annihilate a fifth-order universe master.
Even if one only cultivates to the fifth level, it would be enough to threaten most fifth-order universe lords.
"Well, let's not talk about the power of the secret technique for now, at least we can continue to cultivate it."
Chen Yuan didn't like the feeling of stagnation in his strength. As long as his strength could continue to improve, he would be willing to endure any hardship and would even become more and more addicted to training.
It is precisely this personality that has kept Chen Yuan from taking a break all these years. He can’t stand seeing his clones doing nothing, so he always tries to find ways to assign them cultivation tasks.
Of course, his personality also played a significant role in his ability to cultivate to this level in such a short time.
After incorporating the "Primordial Spirit Sword Intent" into his cultivation, Chen Yuan opened the panel again to look at the details of the Sitting Meditation Technique.
[The Sitting Meditation Method: A secret cultivation technique for the mind, level nine of ten (level nine True Mystic Technique)]
The path of spiritual cultivation, initiated by the Primordial Lord, is restricted from being disseminated due to its incompleteness and the limitations imposed by supreme rules.
[Current progress: Proficiency 0.01%, Lost in the Realm]
[Realm Characteristics: Can further integrate the Ten Great Laws and gain complete "Control of Space and Time" power]
"Complete control over spacetime? Doesn't the power I gained from fusing with the laws of spacetime count as control over spacetime?"
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the so-called complete authority includes the ability to 'reverse time' and resurrect?"
If that's the case, then it can indeed be considered full access.
"But even if I had the ability to reverse time, what use would it be? I don't have anyone who needs to be resurrected."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. More than two thousand years had passed since he began his cultivation. Even if he wanted to resurrect the family members of this body to repay the karmic debt, he would not be able to do so at all.
After all, the original owner's father and grandfather were just apprentices, with a lifespan of only a little over a hundred years.
Even if he reverses time and resurrects them, they will still die as their lifespans run out over time.
"But since I already have this access, I might as well give it a try; it won't cost me anything."
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "Even if I don't use it much in the future, I still need to understand how this permission works."
Thinking of this, he suddenly became interested, but there was no need to test it here. After all, the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasures River was right next to him, and basically no movement in the entire Wuchen Spacetime could escape his observation.
Chen Yuan did not want to reveal that he could wield the authority over time and space with his immortal body, since this matter was difficult to explain.
Because the authority to reverse time and space is granted by the original universe, one cannot master this authority without becoming the master of the universe, no matter how powerful one's combat strength is.
So Chen Yuan had a thought and used the space optimization technique to teleport to a remote starry sky, then casually took out an item.
Considering that he would have to bear the cost of reversing time and space, he simply took out a material of the realm master level, then integrated his will into the ocean of the ten laws and obtained complete time and space permissions.
"Time and spacetime reversed!"
The surrounding environment paused, and then time and space began to reverse in Chen Yuan's eyes, quickly returning to a few minutes earlier, where another identical piece of material appeared before him.
Unlike resurrected humans, the primordial universe allows the same items to coexist.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not destroy the previous material beforehand, but instead, with a thought, materialized the material that existed in the "past" time and space.
"As expected, complete spacetime authority includes the ability to reverse time."
Chen Yuan looked at the two identical pieces of material in his hand, nodded secretly, and then prepared to end the experiment and go back to continue his cultivation.
Just then, he suddenly froze, staring blankly at the materials in his hand.
"Wait," Chen Yuan murmured to himself, "I just reversed time and retrieved this material from the past."
"Why is there no consequence?!"
