Chapter 355 The Wonderful Uses of the Virtual Universe, The Third Strongest Secret Technique
Chen Yuan was extremely surprised at this moment.
It should be noted that Ireil's cultivation method is completely different from that of ordinary people, and does not rely on the external laws and environment.
She mainly uses her "possession" ability to collect information about Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws, and then uses this information to improve her own mastery of the laws.
There are advantages and disadvantages to comprehending the laws in this way. The advantage is that she makes rapid progress because she saves the process of studying the laws and only needs to copy Chen Yuan's results.
The downside is that her understanding of the law depends entirely on Chen Yuan's explanation. If Chen Yuan misunderstands the law, then Irene will copy that error exactly.
Chen Yuan's experience of two million years in the Beast God Realm has led to errors in his understanding of the laws of spacetime, which cannot be perfected in a short time. He needs to correct these errors.
Therefore, Irene, whose understanding of the laws is highly bound to Chen Yuan, should not be able to break through under normal circumstances.
But only seven hundred years have passed since Ireil became the core of the virtual universe, and Chen Yuan himself has only sorted out a small part of the laws, so he is still far from breaking through.
Unexpectedly, Irene broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm before him.
"Irene," Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"
"It's all because of the virtual universe."
Irene answered, then asked, "Did Master come here this time because he sensed the transformation of the virtual universe?"
"Hmm." Chen Yuan nodded. "I suddenly felt it just now, and when I opened the panel, I saw that my proficiency in the secret technique had broken through from the beginner level to the proficient level."
"Just as I thought," Irele exclaimed. "In fact, it was because of this that I broke through the Orange Realm and became a Space Venerable."
"You mean you also just broke through?" Chen Yuanyi asked.
"That's right."
Ireil nodded and then said, "However, I did not achieve this overnight. In fact, since my understanding of the laws comes from you, Master, there have been many errors."
"But in the seven hundred years since I became the core of the virtual universe's intelligence, my understanding of the laws has been influenced by the origin of the virtual universe and has gradually been corrected."
"Until the moment the origin of the virtual universe underwent a transformation, I found the opportunity for a breakthrough, finally comprehending the last crucial point and perfecting the laws of space."
"You mean, the origin of the virtual universe can help correct errors in the laws?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile. "How come I didn't know that?"
"That's because I've become the core of the virtual universe, and I can have close contact with the power of the virtual universe's origin."
Irene explained, "If we compare the virtual universe to a computer, the origin of the virtual universe is like the motherboard, I am like the CPU processor, and you, the master, are the administrator of this computer."
"Therefore, although you, Master, control everything in the virtual universe, it is like a computer that only has a motherboard and CPU and no other hardware. So you are naturally unable to utilize the power of the virtual universe's origin."
"But I'm different," Irene said with a smile. "I and the Origin are both components of this computer, so naturally I can draw upon its power."
"The origin of the virtual universe comes from the original universe, and the ten laws contained therein are of course the most correct path. Influenced by this, my understanding of the laws has gradually been corrected."
"I see." Chen Yuan suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "I didn't expect the origin of the virtual universe to have this use. You've broken through before me."
"It's a pity," he shook his head, somewhat regretfully, "that I can't use such a great ability."
"Who said Master can't use it?" Irene smiled slightly.
Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback: "You mean—"
"Has Master forgotten that the virtual universe has successfully transformed after seven hundred years of growth?"
Irene smiled and said, "I've already checked it. The current virtual universe, apart from its coverage being far inferior to the original universe, is basically complete in terms of functionality. It's not bad even compared to the outside world."
"At the same time, as the master of the virtual universe, the master can already mobilize the power of the virtual universe's origin to assist in his cultivation."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "So, in other words, I can also quickly resolve my own problem of law fallacies, just like you?"
"Yes."
Ireil nodded and continued, "Besides drawing upon the power of the source, I can also create a dedicated cultivation space for you, using the source's ability to transform all things to help you cultivate."
"For example, the master's cultivation of the treasure refining technique is progressing slowly because of the lack of materials."
Chen Yuan nodded. Although he had spent 18 Treasure Points to purchase a batch of True God-level materials in the clan's treasure vault, these materials were far from enough when he actually started practicing.
The main difference is that at the Supreme Treasure level, the amount of materials required has increased significantly.
Originally, only one-tenth of the materials were needed to refine a supreme treasure, but now Chen Yuan needs at least 30% of the materials to successfully refine it.
In other words, if all the precious materials purchased with these 180,000 Treasure Points were used to refine the strongest treasures, they wouldn't even be enough to make ten pieces.
This amount is far from enough compared to the vast amount of practice needed to improve skills.
As for cultivating using a virtual universe? Sorry, the primordial virtual universe can only simulate the surface information of treasures or materials; it cannot simulate the deeper essence at all.
So, it's fine to have the virtual universe simulate powerful artifacts for combat, but what about simulating the changes in various materials? Sorry, that feature doesn't exist.
"Could our virtual universe simulate changes in material properties?"
Chen Yuan inquired, "If that's the case, then I can practice and improve my treasure-refining skills in the virtual universe."
"This won't work for others yet, because our virtual universe also doesn't contain the essential information about various precious materials."
"But you are different, Master."
Ireil smiled and said, "Master, haven't you collected information on many precious materials over the years through the Eye of Primordial Chaos?"
"Once you input these materials into the database, you can replicate them one-to-one from the origin of the universe, including all their various properties and variations."
"In this way, you can freely improve your treasure-refining skills in the virtual universe."
"That's good news." Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "I'll input the information from these materials into the virtual universe system later."
As the master of the secret arts, he naturally also controls the database of the virtual universe and can add or retrieve data from it at any time.
"However, even if I can cultivate in the virtual universe..."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, "But improving the Treasure Refining Technique is extremely time-consuming. Without the environment of the Primordial Palace, I'm afraid it's impossible to improve it quickly."
"Master, there's no need to worry."
Ireil explained, "After the transformation in the virtual universe, the time acceleration function can also be simulated. Although the current limit is only 1100 times, which is not as good as the environment of the Primordial Palace, it is enough for the master to practice the treasure refining technique."
"Moreover, as the virtual universe continues to grow, the maximum sustainable acceleration will continue to increase."
"It is expected that when the secret technique is perfected, the time acceleration limit will reach 10081 times, comparable to the effect of a real miniature universe."
"Oh!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "That's great! Even with 1100 speed boost, it's still much faster than when I practiced in the Shiyuan Hall."
"By the way, Irene, how long will it take for the virtual universe to be completed?"
"It's not certain yet." Irele shook her head. "After the Virtual Universe Secret Technique reaches a higher level of proficiency, I can roughly estimate the progress. It will probably take about two thousand years to advance to the next level."
"But once the secret technique is mastered, not only is the upper limit raised even higher, but the closer one gets to perfection, the less help the primordial universe provides, and the slower the improvement becomes."
"I know that." Chen Yuan nodded. "Actually, there's one more thing. After I break through to the Universe Venerable realm, I will upgrade the secret technique again, and the upper limit of the virtual universe will continue to rise."
"Yes," Irene sighed softly, "If we take into account the factor of arcane upgrades, perhaps my initial estimate of eight thousand years was actually conservative."
"It's alright. At worst, we can replace the original universe ahead of time and start the unification plan."
Chen Yuan said, "I feel that once I've mastered the secret technique to over 80% of its full potential, I can replace it."
"Almost." Irene nodded slightly. "The current advanced virtual universe is already very close to the original universe in terms of function, but its scope and computing power are still relatively limited, and it cannot support all life in the universe to log in at the same time."
At this point, Irene revealed a secret: "Actually, I can sense that when the mastery of the virtual universe reaches its peak, it will be able to cover the original universe."
"At the level of the progenitor, his original universe should have been able to expand to the cosmic sea, but it is unknown why it did not expand outwards."
This was the first time Chen Yuan had heard this information. So, it was possible to cover the primordial universe without perfecting the secret techniques?
He thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's related to the suppression of the primordial ancestor. His virtual universe should be limited by the original universe and unable to continue to expand."
"Very likely."
Ireil nodded, then chuckled, "But you, Master, are not limited by the Primal Universe. In the future, we can even expand the Primal Universe to the Cosmic Sea and bring more powerful beings into the network."
"That will probably have to wait until I become the number one in the universe, otherwise the people from the two holy lands won't submit to me."
Chen Yuan smiled as well.
"With Master's strength, he can definitely do it."
As Ireil spoke, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Master, my life level reached perfect genes a hundred years ago, and I obtained the strongest secret technique bestowed by the primordial universe."
"I will pass on this secret method to you, so that you can use it as a reference."
"Have you already received the gift?" Chen Yuan paused slightly, then nodded and said, "Alright, let me see what kind of secret technique this is."

"But how are you going to give it to me? You probably haven't figured out this talent technique yet, have you?"
If it were a fully analyzed talent technique, Irelia could certainly pass it on, but without analysis, she would be restricted in even using it, let alone passing it on to others.
"That's easy, I can just use the possession technique."
Irene chuckled. "After years of research, I have fully analyzed this talent and deduced the method of reverse connection."
"The reverse connection means that the possession relationship between me and my master will be completely reversed. I will gain the speed of my master's thinking, while my master will gain my insights."
"Oh, this secret technique can be used like this?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you can begin." As Ireil cast "Reverse Possession," a beam of light enveloped Chen Yuan and "melted" his body into a pool of particles, which then entered Ireil's body.
"Hmm, so this is what it feels like when Irelia possesses you."
Chen Yuan felt that their souls had completely merged together, and some insights from Irene were also synchronized into his memory along with this power.
"Is this the most powerful arcane technique Irelia obtained—Shattering the Void?"
Chen Yuan carefully sensed the specifics of this secret technique and discovered that its principle was to create a singularity that could destroy all things by compressing divine power.
This singularity, like a black hole, pulls the surrounding void inward, eventually causing the entire void to shatter and converge into a single point.
Once the singularity has accumulated enough power, it can be detonated on its own, creating a force similar to the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe.
"As expected of the strongest secret technique bestowed by the primordial universe, there is indeed no simple one among them."
After confirming that he had obtained all the contents of "Shattering the Void", Chen Yuan released the possession state.
"This secret technique is really good, especially since it can work in conjunction with my other two secret techniques."
Chen Yuan's eyes shone brightly. The compatibility of the secret technique was giving him a continuous stream of inspiration, which was then transmitted to the Soul-Devouring Beast clone in the Primordial Palace, where the clone began to analyze it.
Originally, due to his breakthrough in the Treasure Refining Technique, Chen Yuan had mastered the secret runes of the True God level ahead of time.
Through years of continuous research by the Soul Devouring Beast clone, he has perfectly transferred it to the secret technique, making the power of the Destruction Sword Domain fusion secret technique reach the limit of the universe master.
That's right. He easily reached his limit by fusing just two secret techniques, unlike some universe masters who need to fuse four or five secret techniques.
However, given the foundation of the Destruction Sword Domain, this level is basically the upper limit. It is still beyond its ability to break through to the True God level secret technique.
But with the addition of Irelia's Void Shattering Arcane, the situation changed completely.
"The Trinity is the most perfect state."
Chen Yuan murmured, "I have finally found the last piece of the puzzle for a true god-level secret technique."
"Thank you so much, Irene, this secret technique came just in time!"
"I'm glad I could help Master." Irene blinked. "It seems Master has gained quite a bit this time?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan smiled.
Because next, as long as the Soul Devouring Beast clone fully analyzes the Void Shattering Secret Technique and integrates it into the Destruction Sword Domain, that will be the moment when his first True God-level secret technique is born!
