Chapter 216 Twenty-Eight Years in Chaos City
After testing the abilities of the 'pseudo-immortality,' Chen Yuan began to carefully examine the changes in the Holy Embryo itself.
Yes, the previous physical changes were merely a side effect of the Holy Embryo's advancement; the Holy Embryo itself, as the core, is the true focus of the transformation.
Currently, the Holy Embryo has two main abilities:
Firstly, it has the function of drawing fragments of origin from the source land. As the Holy Embryo advances, the ability to draw fragments of origin increases.
Currently, it can obtain approximately 33 units of primal energy from the primal land each day.
Furthermore, since the Holy Embryo is connected to the primordial universe, the absorption efficiency is also based on the speed of the primordial universe.
If converted to Chaos City time, it would be equivalent to an increase of 100 units of primordial energy per day.
This change is extremely beneficial to Chen Yuan, since 100 units of Origin Energy per day is already quite considerable, amounting to more than 30,000 units per year.
He will likely stay in Chaos City for about twenty or thirty years, during which time he will acquire at least a million units of primal energy, enough to optimize many tertiary treasures.
As for the second change of the Holy Embryo, it is that the time Chen Yuan's consciousness spends descending to the Origin Land has been greatly extended. Now, he can descend to the Origin Land at least half the time every month and enjoy the comprehension speed of a World Lord.
This ability has also greatly improved Chen Yuan. Previously, he could only enter the Origin Land to comprehend the laws for a maximum of one day per month. Now, it has increased by fifteen times, which is almost equivalent to the efficiency of half a World Lord in comprehending the laws.
Originally, Chen Yuan would only enter the Land of Origin to comprehend the laws when his research stalled. Now, however, he can stay here permanently, and his comprehension efficiency has increased by at least seven or eight times, if not ten times.
Such an astonishing rate of progress naturally did not escape the notice of Orona, who had been teaching him.
"Chen Yuan, you said you've mastered the secret rune combination for the fifth form?"
Orona's eyes widened. How long had it been? "Show me."
When Orona saw the perfectly interwoven Law Runes in Chen Yuan's hand, the doubt in her eyes disappeared, replaced by deep shock.
It should be noted that Chen Yuan has only been in Chaos City for three years, yet he has already broken through the fourth and fifth combinations, and is only one step away from completing the sixth combination and reaching the level of the fourteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
The "Light Ripples" secret technique was supposed to become increasingly difficult as it progressed, but these difficulties seemed nonexistent in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he smoothly mastered the technique.
Upon realizing the terrifying efficiency boost, Orona immediately informed Venerable Silverstorm of this information.
"You mean Chen Yuan only took three years to learn the first five forms of the 'Light Ripples' secret technique?"
Venerable Yinlan looked at her disciple in surprise.
As a high-level cosmic venerable, she naturally understood the situation of the "Light Ripple" secret technique and was also aware of how astonishing Chen Yuan's speed in cultivating this secret technique was.
If he continues to cultivate at this speed, in less than thirty years, he will be able to completely comprehend the fourth diagram of the Chaos Stele, and his understanding of the laws will be comparable to that of a Marquis!
"very good."
A gratified smile appeared on Venerable Yinlan's face. Such powerful talent in the laws of nature was even faster than hers back then.
It is foreseeable that as long as her junior brother does not perish in the future, he will most likely become a powerful figure on par with her.
After her disciple Orona took her leave, Venerable Yinlan thought for a moment and sent an email to Chen Yuan, asking him to come to her residence so she could give this junior brother some pointers in person.
On the other side, Chen Yuan was also surprised to receive the email. He didn't expect to be noticed by Senior Sister Yin Lan, and even to receive guidance from her in person.
Chen Yuan was naturally not going to miss such a good opportunity. He happily went to his senior sister's residence to keep the appointment. Seven days later, he left Venerable Yinlan's residence with a joyful expression.
"As expected of a cosmic sage, Senior Sister's explanation of the laws of time is truly brilliant!"
Chen Yuan was still immersed in the guidance of Venerable Yinlan. The gap between Venerable and the peak of King-level had been vividly demonstrated in the past few days.
Even when it came to understanding the "Light Ripple" secret technique, Venerable Yinlan's explanation was more thorough than that of the technique's founder, Orona.
This also greatly benefited Chen Yuan.
More importantly, this guidance is not a one-time event. The two have agreed to have this happen every year, which means that Chen Yuan's speed of comprehending the laws will be faster than expected.
Upon returning, Chen Yuan immediately began to concentrate on studying the laws. After a month, he finally digested the guidance of Venerable Yinlan and made further progress in his understanding of the fourth picture.
Time flowed quietly like water. In his eighth year of cultivation in Chaos City, Chen Yuan finally comprehended the sixth form of the "Light Ripple" secret technique, raising his understanding of the laws of time to the level of the fourteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge!
After that, he studied the Chaos Stele again and gained many new insights.
After fully digesting the insights gained from the Chaos Stele, Chen Yuan attempted to challenge the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge again. This time, he managed to hold his own against the opponent for a long time, but unfortunately, he ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat.
After all, he had only focused on comprehending the laws over the years, and had neglected to improve his secret techniques. They hadn't changed much from before, so it was naturally difficult for him to pass at this level.
Chen Yuan wasn't upset about failing to conquer the Bridge to Heaven; instead, he immediately threw himself into a new round of research on the laws.
In the thirteenth year of Chaos City, after five years of dedicated study, Chen Yuan successfully mastered the seventh form of the "Light Ripple" secret technique, taking a big step towards the fifteenth level of law comprehension.
It was from that time that Venerable Yinlan began to teach him in depth the various branches of the mysteries of time acceleration. In order to counter the time slowdown of the sixteenth-level gatekeeper, Chen Yuan also began to focus on cultivating this branch.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of Venerable Yinlan, Chen Yuan began to frequently challenge the sixteen-story Heavenly Bridge, learning from the guardians' application of the time law in battle.
Although he suffered repeated defeats, each encounter deepened his understanding of the application of the laws of time. By constantly absorbing the combat experience of the gatekeepers, Chen Yuan's comprehension of the profound meaning of time acceleration steadily increased.
In the nineteenth year of Chaos City, Chen Yuan finally comprehended the eighth form of "Light Ripples". From that moment on, the time slowdown imposed by the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge could no longer affect him, and the gap between the two was instantly narrowed.
During this period, Chen Yuan also used two opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele, and now only the last one remains.
He didn't hold back either. After perfecting the eighth form of Light Ripple, Chen Yuan immediately used up his last chance to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
Seven days later, Chen Yuan, brimming with inspiration, returned to his residence and immediately began a new round of cultivation.
Finally, in the twenty-eighth year since arriving in Chaos City, Chen Yuan completely comprehended the ninth form of "Light Ripples," and all his doubts about the fourth image of the Chaos Stele vanished.
This means that his understanding of the laws of time has officially entered the level of a Marquis!
On the very day of his breakthrough, Chen Yuan immediately entered the Bridge to Heaven and once again engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian of the sixteenth floor.
This time, his victory was without a doubt, after all, the gap between the two sides' laws had narrowed to one level, and was no longer insurmountable.
With the application of higher-level laws, Chen Yuan finally caught up with his opponent and completely killed the gatekeeper with a single "Sword of Time".
Sixteenth level of the Sky Bridge, cleared!
After exiting the Tongtian Bridge, Chen Yuan immediately used up the newly acquired Chaos Stele opportunity.
After he had fully mastered the fourth picture, he also had a deep impression of the fifth and sixth pictures, and he was confident about how to continue to comprehend them.
Therefore, this time, he focused on the seventh picture of the Bridge to Heaven, which represents the enlightenment of a cosmic sage and is also the complete law of time.
He used Irene's possession effect to forcibly memorize the contents of the seventh picture.
As Senior Sister Yinlan said, after reaching this level, it is no longer necessary to cultivate step by step. Instead, it is necessary to start from the complete laws of time and choose the direction that best suits oneself to break through.
Therefore, the seventh picture is far more valuable to him than the fifth and sixth pictures.
Seven days later, Chen Yuan left the city lord's mansion full of doubts. Although he did not quite understand the complete laws of time, he trusted Senior Sister Yin Lan's judgment.
Anyway, he had roughly memorized the contents of the seventh picture, and these unclear points would be answered one by one in the future.
Now, for Chen Yuan, there is only one most important thing:
Leave Chaos City!
