Volume 3 Original Chapter 2: "Time and Space Essays" and "Introduction to the Universe"
The Nine-Colored Eyes Fruit is just a simple interlude.
He is now on a spaceship heading to the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, and according to what was said in the email, the Nine-Colored Eyes Fruit will not be delivered to him until the Initial Universe.
During these three years of sailing, the best choice is naturally to practice secret techniques.
Lin Yan thought to himself: "I have 200,000 points, which is enough to buy an extremely precious secret method. I must use it to the fullest."
Points are very valuable.
Because there are many treasures within the Virtual Universe Company that must be exchanged with points and cannot be purchased with Hunyuan units.
And the later the game progresses, the stronger the purchasing power of these points will be.
For example, some very cheap items such as "Fruit of Life" and "Divine Weapon" are not uncommon in the outside world. It is actually not cost-effective to spend points to buy them. An item worth 1 Hunyuan may cost 10 points.
But--
As items become more expensive, points begin to show their advantages.
Take the "Nine-Colored Eyes Fruit" for example. Its price in the Virtual Universe Company's treasury is 200,000 points, but it is normal for it to be auctioned off in the outside world at 400,000 to 500,000 Hunyuan units.
Because these things cannot be found in the outside world at all, the five major forces do not want to let some extremely precious items flow out. Even high-end auctions with the lowest threshold of five-star customers are rare.
There is no place to buy the immortality of those cosmic countries even if you have money.
This is especially true for rare and precious treasures.
But they are all available in the Virtual Universe Company and can be redeemed with just points.
Core members below the level of Immortal are not allowed to exchange points with money. They can only be obtained by passing through the Sky Bridge, the Sea of Illusion, the Immortal Altar, and by taking on various tasks. They are extremely precious and rare. Only after becoming Immortal can one exchange points with money.
The Virtual Universe Company’s rule for the immortals is: 1 Hunyuan unit can be exchanged for 1 point!
It can be said that as a new member of the "Original Secret Realm", Lin Yan received 100,000 points for free at the beginning, plus the special reward given to the first place by the Nine Swords Master, so he has a total of 200,000 points. The lowest purchasing power is 20,000 Hunyuan, and the highest... is immeasurable.
Why is it immeasurable?
Because the things he wanted to buy were not available anywhere else except in the core areas of the five major forces , and there were not even any substitutes.
…
Lin Yan clicked on the treasure house.
drop!
When the treasure house was opened, eight major categories appeared on the screen: "Secret Spells", "Weapons", "Rare Treasures", "Technological Weapons", "Materials", "Tools", "Biological Items", and "Other Special Categories".
There are many small categories floating under each major category, such as under the biological category there are "plant life", "metal life", "tamed animals" and so on.
It covers everything and contains nothing strange.
Lin Yan took a look and said, "Feng Hou, you should learn more about the treasures in these treasure lists. When I need something, you can give me good suggestions in time."
"I will, Master."
The virtual assistant “Feng Hou” on Lin Yan’s shoulder agreed sweetly.
Lin Yan nodded. His own knowledge was limited, and it was impossible for him to invest much energy in learning this, so the assistance of intelligent life was very important. The thinking and computing speed of intelligent life was comparable to that of immortals, far exceeding his. They could learn this knowledge faster and had a stronger ability to accept it.
and--
Intelligent life itself also needs to broaden its horizons through learning, otherwise it is easy to make the same mistakes as Luo Feng in the original work.
With Babata's enthusiastic help, Luo Feng used all the 10,000 points given free of charge to new members of the "Taichu Secret Realm" to buy a complete set of "Shadow Secret Book", um... a set of warrior combat secrets that emphasizes a solid foundation.
There were only 180 points left, which were used to buy force weapons, life fruits and Lan Ke fruits.
good.
In those cosmic countries, "The Secret Book of Shadows" is indeed considered the top secret method before immortality.
The "Shadow Body" that Lin Yan bought at the Qianwu auction was actually the close combat technique of the warrior in this set of secret techniques. It cost him a total of 430 Hunyuan units.
But for the first 10,000 points, they would immediately become an important opportunity for initial comprehension of the universe. It would be a waste of points to use them to buy these things, and they would not play their due role at all.
It can be said that Babata really made me bleed.
Lin Yan really couldn't bear to watch it, and he had specifically told him not to waste the initial points. Just take a look at it first, and he would help with reference later.
As for force weapons and Lan Ke fruits, he reminded Luo Feng at the last auction to prepare more. At that time, Luo Feng already had quite a bit of money.
"Master, what are you going to buy?" Feng Hou was a little curious.
"Open the most expensive book on esoteric techniques." Lin Yan said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll have to invest all the 200,000 before it gets warm enough."
The screen changes.
The content on the screen in front of me became sparse, with only text and pictures from hundreds of books appearing.
All of them are sky-high prices of 100 billion points!
"The True Explanation of the Giant Axe", "The Principle of Chaos", "Essays on Space and Time", "Evolution of Black Holes"...
One of the rewards for the top 1,000 geniuses in the universe is to go to the "initial universe" for comprehension. The most important treasures in this initial universe are the 52 chaos tablets. Each chaos tablet records a large number of mysterious patterns, etc.!
These 52 Chaos Monuments represent 52 avenues of cultivation, leading directly to the most pinnacle avenue!
If one can fully comprehend any Chaos Monument, he will directly become a true super existence in the universe. Even if he wants to open up a cosmic country, it will be easy.
In other words, among those rulers of the universe, only a very small number can fully comprehend an entire Chaos Monument.
When Lin Yan and his companions arrive at the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, they will have the opportunity to choose one of the Chaos Monuments to comprehend. Of course, the opportunity to comprehend is very rare and very precious.
Among these hundreds of most expensive books, a large portion were written by the creators of the Chaos Monuments!
If the Chaos Monument is profound and unfathomable, and can guide people to automatically comprehend many secret methods, then these books themselves record tens of thousands of secret methods, which correspond to the great ways to heaven engraved in the Chaos Monument, and are also the best complementary secret methods for practicing their respective Chaos Monuments.
The effect of comprehending the numerous secret techniques contained therein is comparable to directly comprehending 10% of the Chaos Monument.
After all, the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument is extremely rare. A chance to comprehend only lasts for a short seven days, and it can only be used in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe.
Although the effects of these books are only 10% of those of the Chaos Monument, as long as you buy them, you can gain insights at any time.
Each set of these hundreds of books is worth 100 billion points. With such a high price, perhaps only the wealth of the universe masters can afford it.
This goes against the original intention of the human race to cultivate talented and powerful people.
They can be sold separately.
Just like when Lin Yan first became a warrior, secret manuals such as the "Nine-Layered Thunder Blade" on Earth were sold separately.
so--
What Lin Yan needs to consider now is which Chaos Monument he should choose?
…
After Lin Yan had a brief understanding of these books, he began to think about it.
"First of all, don't consider those Chaos Monuments that have just started learning the lower laws. They are relatively weak among the 52 Chaos Monuments. It is much easier to get started, but it is meaningless to me."
Like the Heart Mark Chaos Monument of the Law of Gold, the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument of the Law of Wind, and so on, all of them are entry-level with lower laws. Although they also contain extremely profound avenues, to put it bluntly, any immortal is an existence that has fully comprehended the lower laws, and the difficulty of comprehending the lower laws is really not that high.
Especially for Lin Yan, even if he was a nobody, it would be easy for him to comprehend the fundamental laws .
These Chaos Monuments are weak in the early stages and have a low ceiling in the later stages.
Of course Lin Yan would choose the stronger one.
Lin Yan continued to use the process of elimination: "Although Chaos Monuments like the Great Axe Chaos Monument and the Dragon Chaos Monument are powerful, they are more inclined to be used in combat rather than purely analyzing the laws. They are extremely powerful, but the laws are the foundation. We still have to choose Chaos Monuments that are more suitable for comprehending the laws."
"Luo Feng's route in the original novel is of great reference value to me."
"Luo Feng chose the 'Nine Universe Chaos Monument'. Under the guidance of King Zhen Yan, he abandoned the conventional path of cultivation and directly studied the essence of the universe. Although his cultivation would be slower in the early stages, his progress would become faster and faster in the later stages."
"Analyzing the essence of the law takes a long time and requires a high level of understanding, but even if you can get a glimpse of the essence of the law, it will be a qualitative change compared to the superficial application of the law."
From the very beginning, gradually analyze the essence of the law, and in the future, you will achieve greater success.
Everyone understands the principles for those super beings, but they simply cannot be generalized.
Because the requirements for talent, understanding, and character are ridiculously high, taking this path would be a waste of time for most strong people. People at the level of Uka and Ai Chen were able to win first place in the genius battle in previous years, but if they take this path, they may not be able to succeed even after millions of years.
But--
Lin Yan smiled confidently: "In terms of talent, both my original body and the Green Line Devouring Insect clone are special life-level beings. Even the strongest human bloodline is far different from me. Throughout history, how many humans have the same opportunity as me at the cosmic level?"
In the original novel, when Luo Feng was the world master, he became a black warrior. Even top human beings like the Lord of Chaos City were extremely surprised, but the black warrior only achieved the effect of 10 times the life gene level.
He himself is at the 20th genetic level. Even among the universe's great masters, only a few can reach this level. I don't know how much it would cost to improve to this level.
The Green Line Devourer's clone is 100 times the cosmic level, and when it becomes the world master, it transforms into a special life 300 times, which is an even greater opportunity.
"In terms of comprehension, my advantage may be even greater. My comprehension is extremely fast, and coupled with the influence of the 'Light Network Crystal', my consciousness descends to the origin land, and I am extremely close to the laws, approaching the level of a realm master. If not for this, how could I defeat Bolan in just ten years?"
Bolan is a genius that appears once in tens of thousands of epochs, and he has the guidance of an immortal teacher. It took Lin Yan ten years to go from the first level of the star level to the realm that has just stepped into the threshold of the law. He relied on himself and won the battle!
This mainly depends on the fate of "Guangluo Jing".
"In terms of character, I am indeed a lot worse than Hong and Lei Shen. I need more thinking and more experience to reach a higher level. But other people... are far from being able to compare with me. I can instantly enter an extremely ethereal state, become one with the world, and not be affected by external factors."
In the continuous study of the nature of the law, we must always remain calm. Once we become impatient, all our efforts will be in vain.
How could Lin Yan lose his composure over something like this?
"In addition, the Green Line Devouring Insect clone can practice independently. I have now broken through to the cosmic level and have one more chance to breed a clone. This advantage can be said to crush others in all aspects."
"If I can't get through this road, then it's probably a dead end."
Lin Yan's eyes were clear and he was extremely confident. He knew his situation very well and there was no need for him to fear any difficulties.
He just can’t be matched.
"If I didn't have the Green Line Devouring Insect clone, my best choice right now would naturally be the 'Ultimate Chaos Monument', where I could start from the laws of the origin of time and study the 108 essences of time."
"But since the Green Line Devouring Insect clone has such a high talent in the laws of space, I can't just let it go to waste. So I actually have no choice. The most cost-effective choice is the Cosmic Chaos Monument."
Among the 52 Chaos Monuments, the Great Axe Chaos Monument ranks first. Its creator is the "Great Axe Founder", the strongest person in the universe of the human race. The second is the Cosmic Chaos Monument.
The creator of the Chaos Monument of the Universe is none other than the "Lord of Chaos City", the first person in power of the Virtual Universe Company. He is one of the top three existences among human races. He has been sitting in the holy land of mankind, "Chaos City", for countless alien races, making them dare not invade.
Universe, universe, what is the universe?
The four directions and the up and down are called "Yu", and the past and present are called "Zhou". "Yu" represents space and "Zhou" represents time.
This school practices both the two fundamental laws of "time and space". These two fundamental laws are the most difficult. It is extremely difficult to comprehend one, let alone two. Therefore, the "Universe" school is the most difficult to practice and has the least number of people.
For the countless geniuses of the Virtual Universe Company, this kind of practice is so difficult that they dare not or cannot try it, not to mention that Lin Yan’s idea is to study the nature of space and time in the universe.
The difficulty has increased countless times.
There are 108 natures of space and time respectively, which has stumped countless geniuses. How can it be easy?
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have these 200,000 points. If I didn't, how long would it take me to accomplish this task if I only relied on the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument?"
The book corresponding to the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" is called "The Principle of Chaos". Although the author's name is kept confidential, Lin Yan knows that it is the work of the "Lord of Chaos City".
The first two volumes of "Chaos Principles" 10,000 points
100,000 points for the first three volumes of "Chaos Principles"
…
10 billion points for the first eight volumes of "Chaos Principles"
"Chaos Principle" full set 100 billion points
And even if he is a member of the original secret realm, he will not enjoy any discounts.
Lin Yan considered it carefully, frowned slightly, but ultimately did not choose to buy it.
"It's not appropriate to spend these 200,000 points on this. I have a better choice." Lin Yan finally made up his mind.
"Why is the Cosmic Chaos Monument difficult?"
"Because it was originally a practice combining the laws of time and space, the secret method in The Principle of Chaos should also be the application of the combination of time and space."
"If I rely on this cosmic cultivation school, it will be no problem, but if I want to rely on the combined secret method to study the nature of time and space separately, how difficult will it be?"
Simply put, what is the essence of space? It is the 108 most essential and basic units of the original laws of the universe.
They are inherently profound and mysterious. It is extremely difficult to analyze their essence from the superficial perceptions. If space is combined with time to form a more complex structure, the difficulty of research will naturally be increased to a higher level.
"So... my choice is to buy "Time and Space Essays" and "General Theory of the Cosmic Integration". I will buy both together. I will practice "General Theory of the Cosmic Integration" to study the nature of cosmic time, and the Green Line Devouring Insect clone will practice "Time and Space Essays" to study the nature of cosmic space!"
“This is the best option.”
Why did Lin Yan say before that the Cosmic Chaos Monument was the most cost-effective option, rather than the best option?
Because if there is a choice, it would be best to practice the "Nine Universe Chaos Monument" and the "Universe Chaos Monument" at the same time. Lin Yan's situation is special, he does not have the talent for time and space, but two bodies, one in time and one in space.
The two bodies have the same soul and the same consciousness, but there is a big difference between them.
Lin Yan's own physique allows him to perceive the laws of light and time faster and with lower difficulty in performing them, but this physique does not have any added effect on space, and the same goes for the green-line devouring avatar.
For example, when the Green Line Devouring Insect Clone was able to perform the Hundred Line Flow, he could only perform the Nine Line Flow. When he was able to perform the fifth level of the Ultimate Divine Weapon, the Green Line Devouring Insect Clone could still only perform the fourth level.
At the same time, Lin Yan can only use the Nine-Line Flow and the fourth level in the virtual universe.
He thought to himself that when he was the Realm Lord, the main consideration for the third clone must be the super-large divine body, in preparation for the immortal divine body, but now that he had the quota for the second clone, he could consider focusing on "time and space talent".
Having the "talent for time and space" is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Chaos Monument of the Universe.
certainly……
Forget about the Space-Time Nightmare Beast, it's better than nothing in terms of help to him. The Green Line Devourer is very strong, so there's no need to rush now, you can look for it slowly later.
Think of this.
Lin Yan didn't hesitate any longer and clicked to buy.
"Transaction successful!"
"100,000 points were deducted, and the remaining points are 100,000 points."
"Transaction successful!"
"100,000 points deducted, the remaining points are 0."
"Please wait, someone will deliver the secret method soon."
A series of prompts appear on the screen.
Lin Yan did not keep any of his points, but spent them all to buy "Essays on Space and Time" and the first three volumes of "Introduction to the Universe".
"According to my understanding of the original work, these first three volumes correspond to the first three diagrams of 'Nine Universes' and 'Ultimate Universe', and all the mysterious essences of space and time are in these three diagrams. As long as I understand the first three volumes of these two books, I will understand all the essences. The contents after that are more expensive, but there is no need for me to buy them."
"It was a perfect time to transfer to the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument' and 'The Principle of Chaos'."
Lin Yan poured himself a glass of fruit wine, drank it all in one gulp, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Chaos Monument of the Universe is the most difficult, but if you understand all the essences of time and space and have such a foundation, it is like the fog has dissipated, and it will naturally not be difficult.
That is the best time to combine time and space.
He used the "Monument of Cosmic Chaos" as the general outline, and used "Essays on Space and Time" and "Introduction to the Universe" as auxiliary to analyze the essence of the laws. This is the most correct path.
As for why he didn't keep any points and invested them all in this, it was because his other needs were not urgent at the moment, and there was no point in keeping the points. Once he reached the initial universe and broke through the sky bridge, he would naturally earn points.
In the first 30 years of the universe, the reward for breaking through the sky bridge is 10 times!
It won’t be too late to buy other things then.
The first two volumes of "Principles of Chaos" are of course needed. Other schools will naturally also have the top basic secret techniques of the Jiuyu School, such as "Floating Blood". You can also buy them to learn from them and absorb the nutrients therein, but there is no rush now.
His energy is limited, and he cannot learn so much in just three years.
If you only buy the first two volumes separately, the 20,000 points are actually wasted.
It is difficult to obtain points in the early stages , so there is no need to do this.
At this time——
Lin Yan received an email from Luo Feng. Seeing the idea of purchasing "The Secret Book of Shadows", he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. He then sent a reply email, analyzing the pros and cons and asking him to buy the first two volumes of "Essays of Time and Space".
This way you can avoid taking detours.
Fortunately, he was in the Taichu Secret Realm and had 10,000 points given for free, which was just enough to buy it.
He should not study any martial arts secrets in the next three years. As Luo Feng's Demon Killer Clan clone is very close to the fundamental laws of space, he should use his time to study "Essays on Time and Space".
"The Secret Book of Shadows" can actually be purchased, and it is indeed very suitable for the Demonic Killer Clan who have maxed out their assassination talents.
But now is not the right time.
…
Lin Yan soon received the six books, which were kept in a silver briefcase.
After all, it’s delivery within the virtual universe, so it’s hard not to be fast.
When Gate helped him take it into the study, he mentioned one thing: "Your Highness, you are a member of the Original Secret Realm, you can choose an immortal god teacher to live in your manor for a long time to teach you."
"This immortal spirit teacher is at least at the marquis level."
"I suggest that it is better to do it sooner rather than later, so that you can give guidance to your Highness's cultivation earlier."
Lin Yan certainly hadn't forgotten about this. He smiled and said, "I already have a candidate, but I'm afraid it will take some time before he can come and be my teacher."
Gate didn't ask any more questions and nodded slightly.
Lin Yan didn’t think much about this matter, but was extremely looking forward to these two sets of top secret techniques.
