"A thought can empty the void?" The mountain hermit's tone was somewhat strange. "It's actually this secret technique?"
Chen Yuan knew, of course, the reason for his teacher's strangeness. Because the One Thought of Emptiness was less of a secret technique and more of an ability that only the "True God of Emptiness" could master.
Just as the Lord of the Universe 'controls space and time' and the strongest being in the universe 'has words that become law', the Void True God, who surpasses even the strongest being, possesses the ability to control the void with a single thought!
This ability is an upgraded version of the domain-type treasure. It can instantly separate the surrounding space from reality with a single thought. It not only has a strong binding effect, but can also use the power of the void to damage enemies.
After listening to Chen Yuan's explanation, the Mountain-Sitting Guest nodded slightly: "Based on your description, the effect of this secret technique is indeed somewhat similar to the real 'One Thought of Emptiness,' but its power is far inferior to the original version. It can be considered a simplified version of the original secret technique."
Chen Yuan nodded in agreement. A true void of a single thought could easily suppress a true god, while his talent and secret techniques were far inferior.
Even at its strongest power, it can only contend with the ruler of the universe at most.
Just as Luo Feng's innate secret technique "I am the Universe" in the original work is a simplified version of "One Thought Universe", Chen Yuan's One Thought Void can also be considered a simplified version of the true One Thought Void.
In terms of level, both belong to the strongest secret technique level of the Lord of the Universe.
"Not bad. Although its power isn't top-tier, its control is excellent."
"More importantly, studying this secret method will greatly benefit your future cultivation path."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest nodded. "Can you use this secret technique now? How much does it cost?"
"Not yet." Chen Yuan shook his head honestly. "This secret technique doesn't consume much divine power, but it has extremely high requirements for the quality of that divine power. You need at least a hundred million times the power of a World Lord to be able to use it."
"The power of 'A Single Thought of Emptiness' is closely related to my level of understanding of the laws."
Chen Yuan explained, "The more laws I comprehend and the deeper my understanding of them, the stronger the power of the secret technique becomes."
"A hundred million times the power of a World Lord is not difficult; you'll have to wait until you break through to Immortality."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest chuckled and shook his head. "During your time as a Realm Lord, you possessed a million times the power of a Realm Lord thanks to your perfect life and the hundredfold amplification secret technique."
After breaking through to immortality, divine power will surge, reaching a billion times its original strength even without considering amplification techniques.
"As for the laws, since you have good talent, I suggest you comprehend all ten laws to the point of being acknowledged by the source."
"Acknowledge the fundamental laws?" Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, then thought of something. "But I've heard that if one comprehends all the laws to the point of acknowledging the fundamental laws, it seems to attract the wrath of the primordial universe's will."
"The primordial cosmic will is targeting you? Is that true?" The Mountain Dweller was somewhat surprised. "Where did you hear about this? Tell me in detail."
Chen Yuan then told the Mountain Guest about the fate of the Realm Lord "Shang Hou" who had once possessed his body.
"So this kind of thing can be targeted by the primordial cosmic will—hmm, thinking about it carefully, it's indeed possible."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest pondered, "However, since we know the reason, it's not difficult to avoid it. My disciple, you only need to leave one law uncomprehended, and you won't touch the rules of the primordial universe."
"It's that simple?" Chen Yuan asked incredulously.
"Otherwise what?" The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled. "The primordial cosmic will does not possess intelligence, much less the capacity for thought. As long as you do not violate the laws governing the universe, you will naturally not be targeted."
"Some rules are indeed easy to break when you're unaware of them, but if you know them in advance, you can easily avoid them."
"So it was that easy to solve." Chen Yuan shook his head, lamenting that the "Marquis of Shang" had died so unjustly.
If the other party doesn't have such great ambitions and doesn't want to comprehend all the laws during their time as a realm master, then they won't touch the rules of the universe and thus encounter targeting.
"However, since we are going to comprehend the lower-level laws—"
Chen Yuan hesitated and said, "To be honest, teacher, although I am quite confident in my talent, I am only confident in the laws of spacetime. As for the lower-level laws, I have only comprehended the law of wind."
"My talent is not outstanding in other lower-level laws."
"This is not difficult to solve. The simplest way is to create an avatar that is proficient in all eight lower laws."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled slightly, "Of course, if my disciple's clone slots are already full, then it will be a little more complicated, requiring the use of various treasures to enhance your Law Talent."
"I still have one more clone slot available," Chen Yuan quickly said, "but I haven't decided which clone to choose yet."
"As long as I have clones, that will do."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest chuckled and said, "Perfect timing! I also have a special life form remnant from before the 'Great Cataclysm' era, named the 'Nine-Flower Abyss Whale,' which is definitely a top-tier talent among the eight lower-level laws."
"Moreover, this innate secret technique of life is quite interesting. My disciple, you can study it slowly after you nurture it."
As he spoke, the mountain dweller tossed over a long, whip-like object encased in a transparent crystal.
"This is a crystal whisker from a World Lord-level 'Nine-Hua Abyss Whale,' containing genetic information."
Chen Yuan took the giant crystal, which was tens of meters high. Just from the length of this single crystal whisker, one could imagine how enormous this abyssal whale must have been.
Of course, in terms of size, no creature can compare to the Nine Nether Sea.
After storing the crystal in the protonuclear space, Chen Yuan solemnly said, "Thank you, teacher."
I couldn't help but feel grateful; this teacher was truly worth the effort, bestowing so many treasures upon me in such a short time. I had already expressed my gratitude several times.
"Hehe, now that you've obtained the strongest innate secret technique, prepare to come with me to the Starry Sky Beast Alliance."
The Mountain Guest chuckled softly, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, disciple, return the second Heavenly Soul Crystal to me first. I still need to arrange a test for your junior brother later."
Chen Yuan quickly took out the second metal plate he had obtained from the territory of the Nashi Clan and handed it to the Mountain-Sitting Guest, saying, "Junior Brother?"
"yes."
The Mountain Guest put away the metal plate, his tone tinged with emotion: "Originally, he was my intended third disciple, and he was also from Earth."
"Could it be Luo Feng?" Chen Yuan asked knowingly.
"That's right, Luo Feng is a disciple on whom I have high hopes." The Mountain Guest shook his head slightly. "Of course, that's on the premise that he can pass the test of life and death."
Chen Yuan knew that the so-called life-or-death test was the Star Tower, but he pretended not to know and continued to ask questions.
Then, the Mountain Hermit explained the rules of the Star Tower's recognition of a master to him, and finally said, "This Luo Feng is the most promising person in the current era of Earth to recognize the Star Tower as a master. Once he successfully recognizes the master, I will naturally take him as my fourth disciple."
"I see." Chen Yuan nodded. "I believe in Luo Feng's talent; he will definitely succeed in recognizing a master."
"I hope so."
The mountain dweller shook his head. Although he said that, given Luo Feng's current willpower, the possibility of him successfully recognizing a master was extremely slim. He still needed to undergo more training.
His gaze turned to Chen Yuan, and he thought to himself: With this disciple's talent, he is very likely to be the most promising candidate to break through the cycle of reincarnation in this era. I just wonder what kind of fortune he will have after entering the Origin Continent.
But as long as one disciple can successfully break through the cycle of reincarnation, he will have a greater chance of revenge. That is why the Mountain Hermit is so dedicated to cultivating Chen Yuan.
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding scenery instantly changed. When Chen Yuan came to his senses, he found himself standing on the summit of a towering, cloud-piercing peak.
The figure of the Mountain-Sitting Guest instantly grew larger, and he exhaled, "Ancestor of the Starry Sky, an old friend has come to visit. Why don't you show yourself?"
Rumble rumble rumble
To Chen Yuan's astonishment, as the teacher finished speaking, an unimaginably enormous body suddenly appeared in the distant void.
At the same time, a huge head with nine sharp horns slowly lowered down.
Upon seeing the appearance of this behemoth, Chen Yuan immediately recognized it as the progenitor of the Starry Sky Beast race, also among the strongest beings in the universe, "The Mountain-Sitting Guest?"
The voice of the Primordial Ancestor of the Stars seemed to come from all directions, "You dare to forcibly intrude into my universe without a word. Your audacity is as great as ever."
"Haha, it's just an incarnation of divine power, why should the Ancestor care?"
The mountain dweller smiled nonchalantly, "Do you remember the promise I made to you? I've brought my disciple with me."
"Is he your newly accepted disciple?" The Starry Sky Ancestor lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Chen Yuan. "Chen Yuan, the genius of the human race? I remember he should be the disciple of Lord Youhou."
"He's my disciple now." The Mountain-Sitting Guest still wore a gentle smile. "If there are no problems, open the 'Beast God Realm' for him." "This is an agreement we made long ago, so naturally there's no problem." The Starry Sky Ancestor's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. "You've brought him here at only the Realm Lord level? With such a short lifespan, are you sure you want to test him now?"
"I remember the agreement was to test an immortal."
"Hehe, there were some minor mishaps along the way, and my originally designated disciple hasn't grown up yet," the Mountain Hermit explained, shaking his head. "So, another disciple will come here in the future to fulfill our agreement."
"You made a deal with me, wanting me to train two disciples for you?!" The Starry Sky Ancestor's voice was furious. "You're taking advantage of me!"
"Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses." The Mountain Guest laughed heartily. "I'll pay you double the price we agreed on back then, is that alright?"
"That's more like it." Having received the promise, the Starry Sky Ancestor's tone softened instantly, and he gave Chen Yuan a wary look. "So, how does this disciple of the Realm Lord plan to test you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan also looked at the Mountain Guest with curiosity. He knew about Luo Feng's test in the original work, which required him to comprehend the ultimate secret technique of the Lord of the Universe within 10 epochs (the time of the Beast God Realm). However, that test was designed for the Immortal level.
He's only a realm master now, and his lifespan is limited. I doubt that Master Zuoshanke would have such high expectations of him.
"It's very simple."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest also looked at his disciple and smiled, "My requirement for you is: within a thousand years of the primordial universe time, comprehend the pinnacle secret technique of the universe master and defeat the incarnation of the star ancestor."
