Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 232 Peak Secret Technique Completed

Barracks Base No. 065.

On an island in the lake, in a series of man-made pools, Chu He is immersed in a pool shaped like a flower petal, with mist rising in front of him.

"Find me?"

"I'm at the military base, how did you find me?" Chu He lay leisurely in the pool, shirtless, looking very relaxed.

After trading with the military base and the virtual universe company, all the treasures except for the items mentioned earlier were sold off.

Because of the sheer size of the transactions, some powerful alien beings needed to inspect the goods in person and had to personally travel to the No. 065 military camp base.

After speaking with King Guangyu that day, it took about a year in total to finally deal with all the treasures.

"Ha..." Chu He lay in the misty pool, stretched, and smiled. "About 2400 billion Chaos Units!"

"The assets of these people who were granted titles of kings and marquises are quite valuable!"

"Two hundred billion might not be much to a Universe Venerable, but for a King-level Immortal, it is an enormous fortune."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how should we spend it?"

Spending 2400 billion Mixed Units is easy; the key issue is how to use them effectively!
For example, the Vulcan Source Crystal mentioned in the original work is worth 300 billion Chaos Units.

Fermoo Venom is worth 3000 billion units per kilogram.

This price was obtained by Chu He from the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company, thanks to his status as a direct disciple of the Ice Peak Lord.

If you want to buy it under the identity of [Xuanming], the price will be even higher!
Lying in the pool, Chu He separated a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe and searched the third floor of the manor in the Primal Secret Realm: [Those below the level of a Universe Venerable will die].

There are simply too many treasures in the universe. Chu He knows of countless of them, not to mention those not mentioned in the original work that he still doesn't know about.

With the goal of "certain death for anyone below the Universe Venerable," Chu He surprisingly unearthed a whopping 203 different weapons in one go!
For example, the [Black Hole Weapon] can instantly turn the target location into a small black hole, and only those with the strength of a Cosmic Venerable can survive it.

For example, the raw materials for [Soul-Destroying Aurora] and [Silent Wind Weapon] are collected from different secret realms in the universe.

It could be mysterious light or strange air currents.

Everything was stored in a suitable manner.

Once unleashed as a weapon, even ordinary Universe Venerables would be injured, and those below the Universe Venerable level would almost certainly die.

Not to mention the [Kaso Weapon], a unique metal capable of devastating damage to an immortal god's body...

Of these weapons, 21 were technological weapons manufactured by the Machine Race, 3 were technological weapons manufactured by humans, and the rest were all weapons made from special materials collected from the universe.

Chu He was dumbfounded and dazzled by what he saw.

The cheapest of these customizable weapons costs 6 trillion Chaos Units, and most cost over 10 trillion.

10 trillion mixed units, if we make a simple comparison, we can consider this as a key point!
This price is enough to tempt even the most powerful beings in the universe.

Unfortunately, with such high prices, he could only take a quick look; he couldn't afford to buy it at all.

"Phew!" Chu He sighed and closed the treasure vault. "I still need to become stronger!"

To subdue all the alien races that covet his treasures, relying solely on external objects is not enough; his own strength must also be improved.

A weapon worth over 10 trillion Chaos Units...

Even if he could afford it, it would drive countless immortal gods crazy and make them fight for it!
It is no different from the precious treasure we currently possess.

……

In the virtual universe, in the original area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain, inside Chuhe's training ground.

Ever since the Lord of Ice Peaks gave him homework, one alien race after another has begun to be generated in the infinitely vast virtual space inside Chu He's training ground.

Moreover, these alien races were all specifically chosen as the most suitable opponents to target Chu He's weaknesses and the progress of the secret techniques he created.

In the vast starry sky, Bingjing Chuhe looked solemnly at the alien race before her.

He had already tried once, and he couldn't even defeat the first alien race!

Although the strength of this Katu clan expert was not strong, it was precisely the right person to target his weakness.

Such discerning eyes truly befit the Lord of Ice Peak!
In this universe, most powerful beings who create secret techniques are unaware of the flaws in their own techniques.

Let alone targeted training, they would have a hard time even choosing an opponent to use their secret techniques against.

And under the arrangement of the Ice Peak Master...

He hadn't even upgraded "The Moon and the Sword" to a top-tier ultimate skill yet, but the Lord of Ice Peak had already seen through the flaws of this secret technique and was able to guide him to gradually improve it!

It must be said that the Lord of Ice Peaks truly deserves to be considered as a near-peak existence among the most elite races in the universe—humanity!
For a figure like this, who is like a hegemon in the universe, watching Chu He create a secret technique is probably like watching a child play.

The game's rules, loopholes, how to improve it, etc., are all clearly visible.

hum...

In the vast universe, the blurry shadow of the Katu tribe gradually coalesced once more.

The Katu Clan is a subordinate clan under the Demon Clan Alliance.

The deity was tall and covered in feathers, with vertical pupils on its face, and was known for its coldness and ferocity.

The first battle begins again!
In the years that followed, Chuhe began to struggle against one powerful opponent after another.

These powerful opponents were all specifically designed to target certain weaknesses in Chu He's ultimate martial arts techniques.

Moreover, each time you defeat one, a brand new alien powerhouse will be generated.

In the virtual universe, Chu He's physical attributes are fixed!

The 500-fold increase in genetic power is gone, as are the innate secret techniques.

To achieve victory, one must rely on comprehending the laws of nature!
difficult!

Every opponent made things incredibly difficult for Chu He!

Every battle forces Chuhe to spend time reflecting on, researching, and improving his secret techniques.

One day, one month, one year, ten years...

Fifty years passed quickly.

In the first 50 years, Chu He had defeated nearly 200 opponents. The most difficult one of them was a special life form with a divine body that was over ten kilometers tall.

This special life form was entirely covered in black rock, its eyes were burning purple flames, and orange-red flames spewed out from the cracks in the black rock on its body.

Even more terrifying is that this special life form also possesses the talent of [time stop].

That [Time Stop] talent caused Chu He countless losses!

I fought against this special life form for a full 10 years!
After hundreds of battles, hundreds of lessons learned, and adjustments to the secret techniques, they finally succeeded in overcoming the obstacle.

From the 50th to the 80th year, over a period of thirty years, Chuhe defeated fewer than one hundred enemies.

The further you go, the stronger the enemies become, and the more astonishingly long it takes to defeat each opponent.

But he continued to study and refine his methods!
In the 100th year, Chuhe finally elevated the final move, "Drunkenly Listening to the Snowflakes Fill the World," to the pinnacle of martial arts, but he was not satisfied.

The difference between the first three moves and this fourth move is quite large, and there is a sense of disconnect, which makes Chu He very uncomfortable.

The 120th year.

After another 20 years of research and improvement...

"Hahahaha, hahahaha... I have finally, finally created a complete ultimate martial art!"

Chuhe was extremely excited!
Strictly speaking, in the current "New Moonlight Blade", only the last move can be called the ultimate skill, but the difference between the other three moves and this move is already very small.

Moreover, after Chuhe's subsequent 20 years of research, these four styles have become subtly related to each other.

Although unlike Master Wang of Suspended Mirror, whose four forms of "Suspended Mirror" are all top-level skills except for the first one, they are enough for Chu He himself!
According to Chu He's own plan, before becoming a Universe Venerable, it would be enough to upgrade all four styles of "The Moon and the Sword" to their peak level.

Ideally, other laws should be incorporated into it!

"Hehe..." Chu He grinned, his heart filled with joy. "Creation successful, time to go see the teacher." "Afterwards... there's a snake waiting for me!"

Chu He's figure flickered twice and then suddenly disappeared.

……

In the virtual universe, on Thunder Island, at the highest point of an icy mountain range, stands a temple amidst the boundless snow and ice.

There were no servants in the temple, only endless streams of icy air.

A desolate and cold feeling.

Chu He suddenly appeared and pushed open the door to enter.

"Teacher," Chu He said gratefully, bowing respectfully.

Deep within the temple, amidst endless white, icy air currents, a figure slowly emerged.

His temples were gray, his hair was silver, his ancient armor was stained with blood, and he carried an old-fashioned sword on his back.

Only his gaze, calm as a bottomless, cold pool, or an endless black universe, evokes a sense of loneliness and death.

Judging solely from his appearance, he can be considered the most handsome cosmic ruler among humans today, perfectly matching the overall aesthetic of the human race.

"You've actually created a pinnacle technique, even though it only contains one move, it's enough for you right now!"

"Moreover, since it was created by you personally, it is most suitable for your use, and only you can unleash its greatest power."

A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Ice Peak Lord.

"Not bad."

"To be honest, I could pick some of the ultimate techniques in the universe for you. However, ultimately, the secret techniques you create yourself are the most suitable for you."

"Those ultimate secret techniques, let alone whether you can master them in a hundred years... even if you could successfully cultivate them, in some situations, their power would not be as good as your own unique skills..."

Chu He nodded in agreement.

In the process of upgrading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to a top-tier ultimate skill, Chu He finally understood what he had realized back then!
That is a concern for civilization.

Or rather... the power of the mind!

Especially after upgrading "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to a top-tier ultimate skill, every time he used it, Chu He felt boundless motivation and passion.

Each move here contains the power of Chu He's heart, making him more determined to be a strongman and more aware of the principles he holds dear.

Protect your loved ones!

Protect our hometown!

Protect civilization!

"The Magic Blade" evokes thoughts of gazing at the bright moon, longing for one's hometown, and yearning for loved ones.

Chu He, who has been studying ancient Chinese cultural classics, naturally felt a deep connection to the words "the ends of the earth" and "the bright moon".

Throughout history, countless poets and writers have longed for their hometowns upon seeing the bright moon. And when alone under the moon, they especially yearn for loved ones far away.

By integrating this power into his heart and into every move and stance, only Chu He can unleash the full potential of "The Moonlit Blade".

This is the pinnacle, this is the ultimate skill.

Similarly, the same applies to ultimate martial arts techniques.

Ultimate techniques, while only one level above peak techniques, can still be matched by some powerful peak techniques in terms of sheer power...

However, the word "ultimate" in "ultimate technique" fully illustrates that this secret method represents an ultimate level.

Leaving aside the fact that the creators of each ultimate technique possess at least the combat power of a cosmic overlord, it is naturally very difficult to learn.

The emotions contained within, the summary of one's personal cultivation journey, and so on, are something that no student can possibly grasp.

"Does your ultimate technique have a name yet?" the Ice Peak Lord asked with a smile.

"We'll stick with the previous name, 'The Moonlit Blade'." Chu He explained the names of all four styles one by one.

"Drunk on the sound of snow falling all over the world?" The Ice Peak Lord's smile deepened. "A very evocative name."

"I imagine that it contains some insights that are unique to you."

"Remember this realization; this is why the [Peak Technique] and [Ultimate Technique] are called [Master Techniques]."

"The so-called 'perfect' means that only you can perfectly master it!"

"Yes, disciple understands." Chu He bowed respectfully.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

This single sentence directly reveals the deeper meaning of the "ultimate skill".

From then on, when Chuhe created even more profound secret techniques, he would have a clearer direction.

"Hmm." The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded. "I hope this name will shock billions of races."

"This disciple will certainly strive to do my best," Chu He said confidently.

"You did very well this time," the Lord of Ice Peaks laughed. "Even with my help, I can adjust your opponents based on your progress and by targeting your weaknesses each time..."

"But your efficiency really far exceeded my expectations."

"I thought it would take you at least two hundred years to figure out the ultimate technique, but it only took 120 years..."

"Hahahaha!" The Lord of Ice Peaks laughed and shook his head. "It seems that you do indeed have extremely high talent in comprehending the laws."

"This talent might just allow one to traverse the path of law fusion."

"Even if it doesn't work, it won't stop you from traveling the path of time and space."

Chu He felt a pang of shame.

"Teacher, although my comprehension of the laws is quite high, it's not as high as you think."

Chu He thought to himself, "It's because I have the white jade wine pot in my hand that I was able to directly absorb all the insights into the laws of a Marquis Immortal, which is why I've made such rapid progress in such a short time."

not to mention……

The ability to arrange opponents at any time and target the weaknesses of secret techniques every time is a skill that even the most powerful beings in the universe would find difficult to master.

120 years is enough to rival tens of thousands of years of dedicated research!
Under such circumstances, how could Chuhe's progress not be rapid?

"Go." The Lord of Ice Peaks waved his hand.

"I won't block your battle recordings with your [Xuanming] identity."

"You haven't fully unlocked the Beast God Armor yet, so you don't need to worry about being recognized. The Five-Colored Void Escape Lotus Platform is also appearing for the first time, so nobody recognizes it."

"Only the Jingjie Blade... I suppose with your current strength, you should be more than capable of protecting it."

"Thank you, teacher." Upon hearing this, Chu He's worries vanished.

"Yes, let's go to the outer battlefield and continue fighting against the strong!"

"Through repeated life-or-death battles, your unique skills will become more refined, and your progress will be faster."

"Go!"

"Yes." Chu He bowed and disappeared in a flash.

After Chu He's figure disappeared, the Lord of Ice Peak gazed in the direction where Chu He had vanished and pondered for a moment.

"He killed a King-level expert and even created a supreme martial art; let him join the Hong Alliance!"

"In that case, my senior brother's plan can officially proceed, and I won't need to find any more excuses to keep delaying!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks tapped his finger lightly, issuing an order in his capacity as the Lord of the Hongmeng Palace, before turning and walking into the cold white air currents.
