Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 525 The Great Cosmic Unification Divine Art

Time passed, and Lei Chi lived a peaceful yet fulfilling life. He would go into seclusion for ten years every day, and then his main body would explore the ruins of the ancient holy domain.

As for the Azure Flame Incarnation, it followed the path of survival, staying in its cultivation cave and idling away.

Two months later, Leichi finally opened up 1600 acupoints in the body.

These 1600 acupoints in his body are like 1600 stars. They follow some mysterious rules, gather together, and no longer fly around randomly, but move together in a regular manner, thus forming the first star constellation, pushing the [Star Constellation Divine Skill] to the first stage of advancement.

After another three days, Lei Chi stored the sixteen star pillars into the first star constellation, at which point he was ready to set up the Star Constellation Array.

Over the next two days, Lei Chi used this grand formation to hunt down three giant star beasts. In his experience, this Star Array was a killing array with sixteen star pillars as its core. It could conjure a star map in the sky, and the stars in the star map were projections of Lei Chi's acupoints, covering an area of ​​ten miles. Therefore, Lei Chi could form the array by himself and launch attacks through each acupoint star.

If the power of this Star Array were to erupt, it would be even stronger than Lei Chi burning his life force to unleash [Sword One: Meteor]. However, it consumes a great deal of mana. Even though Lei Chi has thirty-six small universes providing energy, the energy recovery speed is extremely fast, and at most, he can only maintain this array for half an hour.

If it were an ordinary person, their energy would probably be completely drained as soon as the Star Array was set up.

Of course, this Star Array also has its flaws. The most obvious one is that it takes a long time to set up, and because it does not have the function of trapping enemies, it is only suitable for setting up in advance as a trap to lure enemies in.

With this Star Array, Lei Chi's exploration in the ruins of the ancient sacred domain was much faster, and before he knew it, another ten months had passed.

At this time, after more than three thousand years of seclusion, the vast ancient sacred domain had been almost fully explored by Lei Chi. He collected a large number of dilapidated buildings, killed more than ten star beasts, and also obtained many high-level materials. Among those materials, there were as many as thirty-three Star Hearts alone.

"Sending these Star Hearts back to Paradise City, I wonder if it will allow the Emerald Heart to mature directly..."

At this moment, Lei Chi, standing on the back of the Moon Gazing Beast, said something leisurely.

He had explored almost the entire ancient sacred domain, and Lei Chi was now planning to return to Bliss City.

The purpose of returning is not only to use the Starry Heart to accelerate the growth of the Emerald Heart, but more importantly, the Thunder Pool's [Great Might Divine Skill] is about to be perfected.

【Great Might Divine Skill】is a unique skill created by Supreme Treasure based on the seventh-tier 【Great Might Tiger】. It can cultivate 【Divine Might】, 【Suppression】 and other means, but in fact it is a miraculous skill for cultivating "thought".

Lei Chi's thoughts are now approaching ten million, and he is about to reach the third level of perfection. Once he reaches perfection, according to the system settings, he will be immediately recognized by the system and promoted to a high god. At that time, he can use experience books and other items to push his level to 900, which will be the peak high god.

According to the system settings, when Lei Chi advances to the peak of the Upper God, then Supreme Treasure will obey his orders, which means that Lei Chi can freely acquire cultivation techniques created using the Eighth-Order or lower-Order Beast Tower in his own Paradise City as a template.

"Let's put the matter of the sect's inheritance aside for now, and the Azure Flame Avatar will also remain idle in the cultivation cave for the time being!"

Lei Chi glanced in the direction of the Holy God Palace, then with a thought, the Moon Gazing Beast carried him swiftly back to the main world.

Half a day later, Lei Chi returned to the City of Bliss.

Without alerting anyone, he first sent the Starry Heart to Ink Bamboo Island and entrusted it to Tian Xiaonong to cultivate the combination of the Jade Heart and the Treasure Gourd. Then he went to Little Turtle Island alone.

Half a day later, after a ten-year seclusion in the Stone Disc Passage, the total number of thoughts in Lei Chi's sea of ​​consciousness finally exceeded ten million, which meant that he had cultivated the third level of the [Great Mighty Divine Skill] to its great perfection.

In high spirits, he went to the experience island and found a large number of experience books. In just two days, he leveled up to 900.

Once a player reaches level 900, using experience books in the Thunder Pool becomes useless. According to the system's design, a player cannot break through level 900 without achieving godhood.

Lei Chi didn't care about this at all; he went to wake up Supreme Treasure with great anticipation.

When Supreme Treasure saw Thunder Pool, it was somewhat stunned. It moved its body unwillingly, and then a flash of light appeared on its body, and it began to transform.

Originally, this thing was a stone tablet. Now, two horns slowly emerged from the top, followed by two small claws growing from the left and right sides. Suddenly, it jumped up, and when it landed, four feet wearing big leather shoes appeared below it.

Then, a mouth like a large trumpet grew out from the center of the stone tablet, and it could actually speak.

"Lord City Lord, you've leveled up so fast! Now that you're a peak Upper God, according to the rules set by that scoundrel system, I'll start working today. However, Lord City Lord needs to pay me 10,000 gold coins every day, otherwise I can go on strike."

"It's just ten thousand gold coins; this city lord will pay you for ten thousand days in advance!"

After saying this, Lei Chi flicked his wrist and scattered one hundred million gold coins.

The pile of one hundred million gold coins was placed in front of Supreme Treasure. The latter was overjoyed, climbed up, and began to devour the gold coins with a crunching sound.

"Huh, it's a money-devouring beast!"

Lei Chi watched quietly as Supreme Treasure awkwardly and clumsily swallowed the gold coins in a strange posture.

At this moment, Supreme Treasure's attribute information has been generated and can be seen in the Thunder Pool. In the system settings, it is a special main artifact with the ability to create cultivation techniques. It can create corresponding cultivation techniques from the first-tier Beast Tower to the ninth-tier Beast Tower. However, the cultivation techniques created by Supreme Treasure may not be able to cover all the functions of the Beast Tower.

In addition, it takes time for Supreme Treasure to create cultivation techniques. Simple techniques can be created immediately, while complex techniques or techniques with special effects are more difficult to create, which means they require more time. Moreover, he can only create one technique at a time, and he can only continue to create the next one after creating one.

Overall, this Supreme Treasure can be seen as a powerful technique-generating machine, which does live up to the setting of the main artifact.

After Supreme Treasure had been consuming gold coins for ten minutes, Lei Chi said, "Treasure, it's time to get to work. I need the fourth level of the Great Mighty Divine Skill."

"no problem!"

Supreme Treasure responded and then moved closer to the Thunder Pool.

As before, Lei Chi placed his palm on Supreme Treasure's body and then saw an illusory scene. After selecting the eighth-level [Great Mighty Tiger], he waited for about half an hour, and the fourth level of the [Great Mighty Divine Skill] was imprinted into Lei Chi's sea of ​​consciousness.

"This technique..."

Lei Chi briefly studied the techniques of the fourth level of the [Great Mighty Divine Skill]. According to the description, this fourth level has five realms: entry level, proficiency level, mastery level, minor achievement level, and major achievement level.

To get started, you need to have a mindset of one hundred million!

To master the necessary skills, one's thoughts must reach a billion!

Master what you need, and you'll have a hundred billion ideas!

Small achievements require a hundred billion thoughts!

The Great Perfection: A trillion thoughts!

A mortal has about one hundred thoughts, and a trillion thoughts is one hundred billion times that of a mortal. Once one reaches this level, Lei Chi can become a main god.

"Although I have obtained the cultivation technique, the path to becoming a main god is still arduous. With trillions of thoughts, when will I ever reach that goal?"

Lei Chi shook his head and studied it for a while. The fourth level of the Great Might Divine Art hardly provides any attack methods. After practicing it, his thoughts increased, and the two secret techniques, Divine Might and Suppression, could be improved accordingly.

However, by cultivating according to the fourth level of the technique, the speed at which thoughts increase will be greatly enhanced. Lei Chi cultivated for a short while and estimated that the speed at which thoughts increase could be increased to about ten times the original speed. Moreover, as the technique becomes more proficient, the speed at which thoughts increase will also increase.

"Ten times... So if I cultivate with all my might, a ten-year seclusion can probably increase my mental power by two or three hundred thousand! With this [Great Might Divine Skill], if I focus on being a mental power master, I can probably roam the world freely."

Lei Chi designated the [Great Might Divine Skill] as his primary cultivation technique, while the [Starry Sky Divine Skill] for body refinement was designated as a secondary cultivation technique.

Not satisfied, he then obtained three more thunder techniques through the Supreme Treasure: the Crimson Thunder Technique, the Azure Wave Thunder Technique, and the Burning Flame Thunder Technique.

These three thunder techniques were created by Supreme Treasure based on the sixth-tier [Red Dragon King], [Sea Dragon King], and [Longevity Dragon King].

Lei Chi thought that with the [Three-pronged Thunder Technique] as his foundation, it would be easy for him to cultivate similar thunder techniques. In reality, there were conflicts between these four thunder techniques. If Lei Chi had not cultivated the [Burning Fire Divine Skill] and transformed his dantian Lei Chi into a microcosm, cultivating these four thunder techniques would have inevitably caused conflicts in his internal thunder energy, leading to many risks.

The wonder of the [Burning Fire Divine Skill] lies in its ability to open up a microcosm within the body and assimilate all abilities, thus avoiding this conflict. Moreover, it allows Lei Chi to cultivate the other three thunder techniques at an unbelievably fast pace.

In just one ten-year seclusion, Lei Chi mastered the Crimson Thunder Technique, Azure Wave Thunder Technique, and Blazing Flame Thunder Technique. With a wave of his hand, he could unleash all four thunder techniques simultaneously. When this technique was used within the Star Array, lightning would surge forth, and swords, spears, and halberds would fall in unison, just like a heavenly tribulation was being unleashed, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Lei Chi then had Supreme Treasure create kung fu using the Shark King, who had reached the sixth level. As a result, Supreme Treasure also created a thunder technique, named the Demon Shark Thunder Technique!

This [Demon Shark Thunder Technique] is rather trash. It has almost no connection to the abilities of the sixth-tier [Shark King], nor is it closely related to its name. It can only condense shark-shaped lightning from the lightning pool to attack enemies. The Thunder Shark only has ordinary lightning attacks and no other special effects.

This technique is quite easy to cultivate. Lei Chi mastered it in three days of seclusion in the stone slab passage. After that, he could unleash five different thunder techniques at the same time with a wave of his hand, giving him the ability to "strike with five thunderbolts".

"Next, why not also cultivate the techniques for the [Thousand Illusion Divine Beast] and the [Great Jade Rhinoceros Beetle]!"

Thinking of this, Lei Chi went to find Supreme Treasure to create a new cultivation method.

Soon, he obtained a copy of the Thousand Illusions Divine Art and a copy of the Great Jade Divine Art.

According to the description of the technique, once the [Thousand Illusions Divine Art] is mastered, it will grant the cultivator the ability to transform and mimic attacks.

The Great Jade Divine Art is even more powerful. It is a body-refining technique that, once mastered, can greatly increase a cultivator's strength and grant them the "Great Jade Divine Body".

The so-called "Great Jade Divine Body" is created by the "Perfect" ability of the Great Jade Rhinoceros Beetle. Those who possess this divine body can only be killed, not injured.

The true meaning of its technique is to refine the body into a unified whole, greatly increasing defense. If the enemy cannot break through the defense, then there will be no injury. If the defense is broken, then the blood and qi of the whole body will be scattered, and death is inevitable.

Of course, the claim that the Great Jade Divine Body only dies without being injured only applies to the physical body; it is ineffective against attacks on the soul or similar objects.

After fifty periods of seclusion lasting ten years, Lei Chi mastered the [Thousand Illusions Divine Art].

While continuing to cultivate the [Great Jade Divine Art], Lei Chi felt extremely uncomfortable, and his cultivation speed was extremely slow.

After careful study, he discovered that the [Great Jade Divine Skill] and the [Starry Sky Divine Skill] were quite conflicting.

The Great Jade Divine Art pursues a unified and stable physical state, while the acupoints opened by the Starry Sky Divine Art are mobile within the body. Even if they form a star, they will still move around. Although both are methods of body refinement, the latter pursues variability, making the Great Jade Divine Body extremely difficult to cultivate.

It also seems that the Great Jade Divine Body and the Starry Sky Divine Body are incompatible.

"The Great Jade Divine Body is unique and must be cultivated. The Starry Sky Divine Body is also extraordinary. Only if these two divine bodies can be combined into one can it be perfect. If they cannot coexist, then I would rather have the Great Jade Divine Body. The Starry Sky Divine Art is not easy to cultivate. If it is ruined now, it would be a real pity..."

Lei Chi fell into deep thought. From then on, he no longer sought out Supreme Treasure for the cultivation method. Instead, he spent his days sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, racking his brains for a way to fuse the two divine bodies.

Unfortunately, Lei Chi didn't have the heaven-defying ability of Supreme Treasure, and couldn't quickly create his own cultivation technique. He could only try it little by little on his own, which was a very painful process. As a result, the cultivation of both techniques was stagnant, and it also affected the cultivation of the Great Mighty Divine Skill.

It wasn't until after thirty more ten-year seclusions that Lei Chi finally figured out a method.

"The microcosm within my body was opened by the Burning Fire Divine Skill. It's actually similar to the dantian, a place where energy is generated and stored. The celestial bodies within my body are both illusory and real, circulating throughout my entire body. What would happen if I used my microcosm to capture these celestial bodies? Or to let the celestial bodies enter my microcosm... But how can I achieve this?"

Lei Chi suddenly felt a jolt in his mind, as if he had an epiphany.

"I want to create a method, like the Burning Fire Divine Art, which can serve as the foundation for all body-refining techniques. First and foremost, it will allow stars to be born in the microcosm. This technique will be called... the Great Cosmic Unification Divine Art!"

Lei Chi felt he had found his goal, and his mind immediately became much clearer.

After that, he silently pondered his "Universal Unification Divine Art" until the number of his thoughts exceeded 30 million, and he finally made a breakthrough.

Inside the stone passage, Lei Chi sat silently, and at that moment he suddenly sent 1600 stars from his body into a small universe within his body.

1600 stars is just one star constellation. Lei Chi felt that a small universe could fit one star constellation perfectly. As a result, the previously stagnant [Great Jade Divine Skill] finally made progress.
