Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 67 Intertwined Brilliance
"These 43 secret techniques are priced between 600 and 1000 points. If you buy them all, they should be of great help to you, so don't worry about the points."

Mo Chenwang gave Yu Duan a final piece of advice, lest Yu Duan misjudge the importance of the matter.

"Don't worry, Teacher Mo Chenwang, I understand. Besides, the stronger you are, the more points you can get."

Upon hearing Yu Duan's words, King Mochen laughed heartily with satisfaction.

"Alright, then you can study these 43 secret techniques first. If you have any questions, come to my courtyard to find me. Here is the token."

As Mo Chenwang spoke, he handed a white token to Yu Duan.

As a super strong being among the immortals, King Mochen naturally had his own permanent residence in Chaos City.

For over 100,000 epochs prior, King Mochen had been cultivating in the secret realm of the Ancestral God Cult.

It wasn't until a few years ago that he had an epiphany, and only then did he return to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion, in order to comprehend the complete fundamental laws of time.

"Little one, work hard in your cultivation. I'll set a goal for you: within 300 years, completely comprehend the first two diagrams of the Myriad Universe Chaos Stele."

Mo Chenwang then set a goal for Yu Duan with a profound meaning, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"It takes 300 years to fully understand the first two pictures. That's not too difficult."

Yu Duan's eyes flickered slightly as he made a quick estimate of the time.

My goal was to fully comprehend the nine essential mysteries of the first picture and the 'Nine Combinations Reincarnation' conception of the nine laws working together within this year.

As for the 27 complex and profound mysteries of time in the second picture, it would take ten times, or even more, to fully comprehend the first nine superficial mysteries.

Therefore, Yu Duan's goal is to comprehend at least 10 of the essential mysteries in the second picture within thirty years in Chaos City.

Then, relying on the power of the Book of Cause and Effect, it can pre-draw no less than 10 kinds of relatively complex and mysterious essences.

In this way, before leaving Chaos City, Yu Duan will be able to grasp most of the mysteries contained in the second image of the Chaos Stele.

"Master, the 43 secret techniques recommended by Lord Mochen have been compiled, and they will require a total of 35100 points."

A natural voice came from Yu Duan's right arm's quantum computer: "However, this is the price without a discount. After the discount, it will cost a total of 2.457 points."

"Confirm purchase".

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, a series of notification sounds rang out.

"Transaction successful!"

"24570 points deducted, remaining 6430 points."

"Please wait, someone will send the secret technique to the virtual universe shortly."

In the blink of an eye, the 31,000 points I had just earned were gone, leaving me with only a little over 6,000 points.

However, points only have meaning when they are spent; otherwise, they are just a bunch of numbers.

A moment later, in the virtual universe, in the study.

Yu Duan flipped through the book in his hand. The cover had the words "Shi Ying" on it, and it contained 108 sets of sword techniques.

After only a cursory glance, Yu Duan closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Not long after, Yu Duan opened his eyes and sighed, "No wonder Master Mo Chenwang doesn't recommend his disciples study this secret technique. It's really... strange."

The tens of thousands of secret methods contained in the "Principles of Space" are the ultimate source of all methods for analyzing the essence of time.

The countless basic secret techniques of the Myriad Universe School derived from this are all based on the secret techniques of the principles of space and time by geniuses and strongmen throughout the ages. They have transformed the mysteries within them into their own and created new versions with their own personal characteristics.

However, most of these secret methods are essentially the same, with some innovations but few, and still retain a strong style of cosmic principles.

The secret methods recommended by Mo Chenwang are often analyzed in a way that is considered unorthodox, yet they ultimately converge on the same conclusion. Ordinary people who study these methods will only be led astray.

Swish!
Yu Duan's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, appearing in the training ground.

A silver-blue battle blade appeared in his palm, and he began practicing the first set of the Time Shadow Blade Technique, which contained the profound mystery of positional order in the essence of the laws of time.

Yu Duan did not deliberately study this Time Shadow Blade Technique.

Of these 43 secret techniques, 16 begin with the mysteries of 'positional order'.

Yu Duan had to study each one, not only to learn its mysteries, but also to understand the way of thinking of the creator of the secret method, and to take its essence and make it his own.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

In the virtual universe martial arts arena, Yu Duan unleashed his movement technique, transforming into a winding, dazzling starlight. His speed exploded seven times in succession, instantly leaving a perfect and dazzling arc of starlight in mid-air.

"It was indeed much faster. It took about a quarter longer than the estimated two months to comprehend a rudimentary and profound essence."

Yu Duan's figure stopped, standing in the center of the training ground, sensing the operation and fluctuation of the seven most basic units of time.

Efficiency has increased by a quarter, which is already close to the limit.

It's difficult to significantly increase the speed further unless the compatibility with the origin of time in the universe is greatly improved, which means improving one's talent in the laws.

"The current analytical efficiency is fast enough. What I need now is to calm down and try to understand the first two diagrams of the Chaos Stele within thirty years."

As the speed of analyzing the essence of the rules increases, Yu Duan's goals naturally need to change as well.

"Master, Prince Koti has come to visit again."

A natural figure appeared out of nowhere on Yu Duan's shoulder.

A smile appeared on Yu Duan's face: "Okay, I'll return to reality now."

……

Chaos City, inside Yu Duan's residence.

In the living room on the first floor, Kodi sat on the sofa and chuckled as he took out a palm-sized jade bottle from his world ring.

"Yu Duan, my teacher rewarded me with a bottle of good wine. It's a thousand times more effective than soaking in a nutrient tank. I can't finish it all by myself. And I don't know anyone else around here."

As Kodi spoke, he opened the bottle, and an incredibly rich aroma, accompanied by cosmic energy, quickly spread out.

In an instant, the entire first-floor living room was filled with thick white mist, and even the floor was somewhat 'frosted'.

To be precise, it is cosmic energy that has condensed into countless tiny cosmic crystals.

"Master, this bottle of wine is called 'Eight Harmonies Yuan Chen' and is worth 1.2 Hunyuan Units..."

Naturally, through a virtual universe, it transmits a detailed description of the wine to the end.

The wine containing 1.2 units of mixed essence has no effect on those super strong individuals; it can only satisfy their appetite.

However, just one sip is enough to instantly restore a near-death Realm Lord to their peak condition. At the same time, it can also push a martial artist who has barely broken through to the Universe level to the ninth level of the Universe level without any side effects.

Yu Duan chuckled, then got up and poured wine for himself and Kodi.

"Aren't you afraid that if you share this good stuff with me, I'll improve even faster and surpass you?" Yu Duan glanced at Ke Di, who was rubbing his hands together with anticipation, and asked with a smile.

The difference between a first-order cosmic level and a ninth-order cosmic level lies mainly in the accumulation of energy; the qualitative level remains unchanged.

However, the energy level difference of hundreds of times makes the consciousness intensity of a ninth-level cosmic being much more abundant than that of a first-level cosmic being.

With a stronger consciousness, one is less likely to feel mentally exhausted when comprehending the obscure and complex mysteries of the laws, so there is still some improvement, which is better than nothing.

Upon hearing this, Kodi waved his hand and said, "It's good that you surpass him. It will save the teacher from nagging me all the time. I'm not exactly a genius anyway."

"What you said is too provocative; if someone hears you, you might get beaten up."

As Yu Duan listened to Versailles' speech, he raised his glass, gestured to Corti, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, most of the day had passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, on the rooftop of Chaos City, Yu Duan and Ke Di leaned against each other, both somewhat bewildered.

"Let me tell you, your understanding of how it works is wrong. It should work like this..."

Kodi waved his hand somewhat drunkenly, and a crimson light surged, intertwining and forming an abstract three-dimensional secret pattern image.

Yu Duan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "That seems to make some sense. How can you be sure you're right?"

Koti laughed and pointed to the empty void: "He, time... time itself told me!"

"I only need to operate the power of the fundamental laws of time according to my understanding."

"If this is correct, the fluctuations in time will be more harmonious. Otherwise, there will be abnormal time peaks."

Wisps of chaotic mist drifted by, passing through the ancient city that had remained largely unchanged for millions of years.

Two young, inexperienced people were arguing about something on the rooftop of a secluded building.
