Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 53 Cultivation Secrets

After spending half a day pretending to search the mountaintop with the other powerful alien races and successfully clearing himself of suspicion, he left the highest mountain, which no longer contained the ancestral god's treasure, with the main group.

After returning to his residence, Yan Yong planned to first enter the Glory World to obtain some Glory Points. After obtaining the clone materials from the Secret Realm, he might consider breaking through. Now, while his reputation was still low, he could challenge a few more alien races. If something happened in the Secret Realm that caused his strength to be exposed, it would be difficult to get others to accept his challenge.

He sent an email to King Qin Guang, asking him to invite several human kings at the third level of the King realm to spar with him in the virtual universe.

Although he felt that with his Halberd Intent and the Fusion Law that might have reached the fourth level, he could absolutely slaughter any third-level powerhouse, he had long since changed his habit of rushing in without any practice in the outer battlefield. Now he didn't like to fight battles he wasn't sure of winning, and besides, the Halberd Intent might not be usable in the Glory World.

King Qin Guang quickly replied to the email, inviting Yan Yong to the training ground in Hongmeng City of the virtual universe for a sparring match. He had already brought along King Chaman and others whom he had previously contacted.

The training ground was set on six towering peaks, with King Chaman, King Lishuo, King Qinguang, King Hengdao, King Huanzhen, and Yan Yong standing on each other's peaks.

"Golden Dragon, although you have already earned an invincible reputation as a king in the outer battlefields, you can only use the Fire-Void Fusion Law in battles within the Glory World," King Qin Guang reminded him. "Therefore, in this sparring session, we will fight using the Fusion Law to simulate battles in the Glory World for King Golden Dragon."

"The settings have been configured so that only the Fusion Law can be used within the scene, allowing the divine body to possess the power of a World Lord at its peak, ten thousand times stronger." The training ground's virtual intelligence quickly adjusted the settings, enabling the six to perfectly simulate the battles of the Glory World.

"Golden Dragon, don't lose too badly." Apart from King Qin Guang, the remaining four are all veteran near-king level invincible powerhouses, and can be ranked in the middle to upper range among the third level inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect.

Yan Yong was merely the first inheritor of the Beast God's legacy.

"I'll go first. I'm the weakest, and I'm also a recent inheritor who only just began to comprehend the Beast God's legacy," King Qin Guang said first.

"Then I'll have to trouble King Qin Guang." Yan Yong carried his halberd to the valley in the center of the six mountain peaks.

"Let's fight by burning our divine bodies directly. In the world of glory, everyone fights by burning their divine bodies. If you don't burn them from the start, you'll suffer a great loss." King Qin Guang also drew his sword and came to the opposite side of Yan Yong to remind him.

With a thought, the immortal divine body simulated in the virtual universe began to burn. Yan Yong knew that the Glory World used immortal divine bodies to fight, and he had already adapted to it in his cultivation manor.

"Fight!" He raised his halberd and smashed it towards King Qin Guang. Although his halberd skills were already quite exquisite, he still preferred to start with a smash.

"Well done." King Qin Guang drew his sword and unleashed a blade of light, then charged towards Yan Yong.

With a single strike, the halberd shattered the blade's edge, then thrust itself towards King Qin Guang, emphasizing that every inch longer meant greater strength.

Both of their treasures were the most basic King-level weapons chosen according to the requirements of the Glory World, and they could no longer rely on the Imperial Dragon Halberd to amplify their secret techniques by one level to fight.

However, King Qin Guang was also at the limit of his title, and like Yan Yong, he had not yet had time to create a peak secret technique. For a time, the two were evenly matched.

……

"Isn't this Golden Dragon King supposed to be invincible among kings? How come the secret technique he's using is a top-tier secret technique? Even if the exquisiteness of this top-tier secret technique is already outstanding among kings, it's completely unworthy of the Golden Dragon King's invincible status," said the Horizontal Blade King, who was watching the battle, puzzled.

"This is not our business. Perhaps the Golden Dragon King wanted to familiarize himself with the battle of fusion laws for a while, which is why he held back and only used a secret technique comparable to that of King Qin Guang," King Huanzhen guessed, while also reminding King Hengdao not to pry into other people's secrets.

"Indeed." King Hengdao said no more.

For over twenty years in Chaos City, Yan Yong has been studying halberd techniques under the guidance of the founder of the Giant Axe. Although he hasn't researched secret techniques much, the improvement in the sophistication of his halberd techniques has also raised the level of his secret techniques.

After all, the initial secret technique was only very rough, but it was still at a top level. As long as the halberd technique was improved and refined, it could be greatly enhanced.

"Warm-up is over. You're pretty familiar with the rhythm of the battle now. Let's go." With a slash of his halberd, Yan Yong forced King Qin Guang back and began to unleash the Fusion Law.

A giant fire dragon suddenly appeared behind Yan Yong, and the Fire Void Beast God Dharma Form, condensed from the laws of fire fusion, appeared.

"Alright." King Qin Guang also unleashed his Light and Time Fusion Law, and the humanoid Light Beast God Dharma Form appeared.

Two powerful phantom beast gods were locked in fierce combat in the air.

The battle between the two beast gods in the void quickly came to a conclusion. Yan Yong, who had a higher level of understanding of the laws, condensed a phantom of the fire beast god and quickly killed the light beast god on the spot.

"Impressive! As expected of the Golden Dragon King, his Fire-Void Fusion Law has almost reached the fourth level." The people watching around were all top-tier inheritors of the third level, so they could naturally see that the opponent's fusion law level was above their own.

"Defeat." After defeating the illusory image of the Beast God of Light, Yan Yong pressed his advantage with his halberd and quickly shattered King Qin Guang's body.

"Golden Dragon King, your level of fusion with the laws is definitely among the strongest of the third-level inheritors. Coupled with your peak secret techniques and powerful amplification secret techniques, you should have a hard time encountering an opponent," King Chaman commented.

"Then I'm relieved." Knowing that he didn't yet have a peak secret technique, he could only use his self-created secret techniques, fusion laws, and amplification secret techniques in the Glory World challenge, and he couldn't even use the intent of the halberd.

Willpower does provide an advantage in combat, but it's not Yan Yong's strength at the moment; it's only reached the level of a King. His secret techniques are also a weakness, while his strengths lie in his stronger fusion laws and his secret techniques with higher amplification powers. With these two factors offsetting each other, the outcome of a battle against those veteran powerhouses becomes a 50/50 chance.

"I should create my own ultimate secret technique first before challenging the Glory World. The problem of my will lagging behind my strength should also be resolved as soon as possible." Yan Yong connected to the virtual universe and teleported to the palace of the Giant Axe Founder.

Although the founder of the Giant Axe was venturing into the cosmic sea, in order to keep in touch with the human race and provide timely support to the Lords of the Hongmeng Universe who encountered powerful enemies in the cosmic sea, he mostly separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the virtual universe.

Once a person's strength breaks through to the level of a Universe Venerable, they can easily create a divine power avatar. The powerful beings of various races who venture into the Universe Sea rely on the avatars left in their races to connect with their respective virtual systems to communicate.

Therefore, the consciousness of the Giant Axe Founder will always exist in the palace of the Giant Axe Founder, and Yan Yong can ask him questions about cultivation at any time.

"Master Giant Axe," Yan Yong said respectfully, bowing.

"What's wrong? Aren't you receiving the Beast God's inheritance at the Ancestral God Sect? I'm not good at the Fire-Void Fusion Law," the Giant Axe Founder said with a smile.

"Teacher, I need a little bit of Glory Points to receive the inheritance in the Ancestral God Sect, but Glory Points can only be obtained by fighting in the Glory World." Yan Yong organized his words, "In that world, my Fusion Law and Amplification Secret Technique are certainly advantages, but compared to those powerful people who have been studying for many years, my willpower and secret techniques are at a disadvantage. Therefore, I have come to ask you, Teacher, for advice on how to improve my willpower and secret techniques."

"Your cultivation time is extremely short, yet you already possess a will comparable to a King-level expert, which is already quite remarkable. There are no shortcuts to improving one's will; it can only be achieved through constant tempering and growth over time." The founder of the Giant Axe was also very satisfied with his disciple Yan Yong. "I can offer you some assistance in the creation of secret techniques."

"Your halberd skills have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and you have already defeated 1200 opponents. You are not far from reaching the pinnacle, which shows that you do have great talent in the halberd art. You can consider making further breakthroughs in halberd-related secret techniques."

"From today onwards, you should practice your secret techniques regularly in your training ground. You can temporarily put aside your halberd techniques. I will arrange some special opponents for you, targeting your various weaknesses, so that you can fight against them to hone your secret techniques. It is estimated that it will take five or six hundred years for you to create your own peak secret techniques."

"Thank you, teacher."

"Go ahead," the giant axe said with a smile.

Yan Yong bowed respectfully, then vanished into thin air and returned to his manor in the Giant Axe Secret Realm.

As the genius realm master of the Giant Axe Secret Realm, the highest level of the Giant Axe Martial Arena, Yan Yong naturally enjoys the same treatment as the original realm master of the Virtual Universe Company, and has a training ground that can assist in the cultivation of secret techniques.

Moreover, as a disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe Realm, Yan Yong's training ground is much larger than those of other realm masters in the Giant Axe Realm. It is almost as vast as the "Killing Arena," which charges extremely high fees to the public.

It's like getting the virtual universe company's killing field for free.

When you create a secret technique on your own, you're often unaware of its flaws. It's really difficult to design an opponent for yourself, just like when Yan Yong created his own secret technique in the Killing Space, which turned out to be a huge joke.

Even though he later successfully created a World Lord-level secret technique with the help of Big Black Bear and others, and then explored and created a top-level secret technique on his own, that top-level secret technique was still very crude. He could only bully some King-level powerhouses by relying on treasures and innate secret techniques.

The method for creating a peak secret technique had never been found. Now that he had a teacher, the speed of progress in the secret technique accelerated. In just over twenty years in Chaos City, the secret technique that had barely reached the top level was improved into an extremely exquisite top-level secret technique with the cultivation of the halberd technique.

Now that the founder of the Great Axe is personally setting up opponents to create the ultimate secret technique, the speed has increased significantly.

Yan Yong's training ground is located in an environment of endless black holes.

A colossal beast, its body enveloped in the aura of water, slowly took shape.

This is a colossal beast that is over ten kilometers tall, with a spiral horn on its head and its body shrouded in the aura of the laws of water.

As a new author, I have many writing flaws. I will carefully read and address all the problems you point out, so don't worry. I'm tough all over except for my words.

Thank you to 'Book Friend 20220609080202047' for the one monthly ticket, thank you to 'Silent' for the two monthly tickets (sorry I can't type your emoticons), thank you to 'Time Flows Like Water' for the two monthly tickets, thank you to '80% Cat Disease' for the two monthly tickets, thank you to 'Yifeng' for the two monthly tickets, and thank you to 'Book Friend 20230128224242619' for the two monthly tickets.

Thank you to everyone who has read this book, given it recommendation votes, and added it to your favorites. Thank you all for your support.

I hope everyone enjoys reading. The biggest problem with this book is the lack of explicit cheat codes, systems, or in-game stores. So, I started with three incredibly powerful treasures, which is a small, obvious cheat code. Later on, it's hard to find clones and such. If there were a system or in-game store, I would have just recruited soldiers across countless worlds. The protagonist's biggest cheat code is actually his talent. I'll rewrite the beginning on Wednesday when I'm on vacation to explain the protagonist's talent and the source of the treasures.
