“A secret technique can be executed like this?”“How could that great being be so ingenious, devising so many secret techniques from just a single ‘Raindrop Diagram’?” Luo Feng set aside the first volume of “Essays on Space-Time”, then picked up the second. Opening the heavy metal book, Luo Feng once again began to read voraciously.The second volume of “Essays on Space-Time” corresponded to the second image of the Ninefold Universe Chaos Tablet, the ‘Drizzle Diagram’.Its profundity was clearly hundreds, even thousands of times greater than the first volume. Because Luo Feng had only grasped a superficial understanding of the second image, seeing the secret techniques revealed on page after page of the book, he felt an overwhelming sense of depth. These secret techniques were all created based on the ‘Drizzle Diagram’; some contained a superficial understanding of the ‘Drizzle Diagram’, some contained partial profound insights, and others encompassed the entire ‘Drizzle Diagram’.“So that’s how it is!”“I see!”“Ah!”Luo Feng flipped through the thick second volume, completely engrossed.Luo Feng only took three days to learn all 3,219 secret techniques in the first volume.However, of the 2,102 secret techniques in the second volume, 2,083 were utterly incomprehensible, leaving him feeling lost in a fog. The remaining 19 secret techniques, with Luo Feng’s abilities, he could barely manage to delve into. And as he researched them and cross-referenced them with the ‘Drizzle Diagram’ from the Ninefold Universe Chaos Tablet in his mind, he made some gains.Many factories can disassemble machines, and based on the various parts after disassembling a sample machine, they can then reverse-engineer the method to manufacture the machine.It’s the same principle.Why are secret techniques so precious?It’s because a set of secret techniques becomes increasingly profound, pointing towards the depths of the Laws! Studying and learning secret techniques… actually aids in comprehending the Laws of Origin! This is why so many people in the universe desperately seek precious secret techniques, as truly observing the Chaos Tablet is a privilege held by only the rarest fraction of the cosmic human race.Ordinary cultivators cannot see the 52 Chaos Tablets!…Luo Feng let out a long breath, setting down the heavy book in his hands.“What a book.”“Truly a remarkable book.” Luo Feng looked at the cover of the book before him, the four characters ‘Essays on Space-Time’ subtly evoking the evolution of the universe and the shifting stars. “It would be even better if it were a bit cheaper. The next time I want to buy the third volume, it will cost 100,000 points. Where am I going to get so many points?”Points are too difficult to acquire.“Babata, how long have I been reading?” Luo Feng carefully placed the book back into the bookshelf behind him, asking simultaneously.“The first volume, you read for 3 days. The second volume, you read for 29 days!” the little devil on his shoulder said.“29 days?” Luo Feng nodded slightly, then shook his head with a smile. “I learned all 3,219 secret techniques in three days, but it took me 29 days just to study 19 of them, and I still haven’t fully grasped all 19.”“What’s the effect?” Babata asked immediately.“The effect is decent.” Luo Feng smiled. “I’ve comprehended the 10th and 11th profound insights.”“Damn it!” Babata’s eyes nearly popped out. “Luo Feng, you’re too, too, too shameless! You call that ‘decent’?”The Raindrop Diagram contains 9 basic profound insights.The Drizzle Diagram contains 27 deeper profound insights.The Storm Diagram contains the final 72 most profound insights.In total, there are 108 profound insights, which are the 108 most fundamental and essential units of the Law of Origin of Space.“This is what you call accumulating a lot and then bursting forth,” Luo Feng quickly said. “In Chaos City, many of my insights were fragmented, I felt I understood something but hadn’t fully grasped it. Now, studying so many secret techniques has given me flashes of inspiration, allowing me to suddenly comprehend many things I was close to understanding before. By cross-referencing them, I continuously comprehended two profound insights. Of the 108 sword forms of ‘Flowing Blood’, I can now perform 11. Of course, my past accumulation, through ‘Essays on Space-Time’, has given me immense gains all at once. But there won’t be such good fortune in the future.”The first time reading “Essays on Space-Time” provided the greatest inspiration.Such things will be less likely in the future.Unless I go to comprehend the Chaos Tablet again, but the Chaos Tablet is in Chaos City, and the opportunities to comprehend it are very precious.“Ah.” Luo Feng suddenly widened his eyes, abruptly stood up, and exclaimed, “I’ve been comprehending ‘Essays on Space-Time’ for 32 days! Doesn’t that mean I haven’t attended any classes for 32 days? Oh no, I even missed my favorite public lectures.” There were many study courses in Taichu District, but attendance was entirely voluntary.Generally, Luo Feng disdained lectures on space or secret techniques; the Immortal teachers’ explanations weren’t as good as his own teacher’s.However!Lectures on the ‘Law of Origin of Gold’ and the fusion of ‘Space and Gold’ were two courses Luo Feng highly valued. Because his teacher, Zhenyan King, specialized in space, and while he had some insights into the ‘Law of Origin of Gold’, he wasn’t as proficient as those Immortals who specialized in it.“What’s the use of regretting now?” the little devil chuckled. “Just a reminder, your favorite public lecture on the fusion of the two Laws of Origin, ‘Space and Gold’, is happening tonight.”“Oh, I’ll go tonight!” Luo Feng nodded repeatedly. “But first, I’ll go test how much my strength has increased.”Luo Feng immediately leaped from the balcony outside his study, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air, and arrived at the entrance of his training ground.…Inside the training ground, the floor was so polished it reflected like a mirror.“Simulate Qiulong City,” Luo Feng commanded. With Babata’s assistance, the training ground quickly transformed into a section of a massive city.There was no one in the city.On the rooftop of an ordinary nine-story building, Luo Feng stood with the dark golden long staff on his back, letting out a low shout: “Rise!”Immediately, the dark golden long staff on his back shot out a vast, overwhelming number of golden swords. There were 1,600 densely packed golden swords, which swiftly flew together like dancing sprites. In mid-air, they rapidly began to extend golden threads imbued with profound insights of the Laws, instantly intertwining to form a golden pillar—the Totem Golden Pillar!“Go!” Luo Feng pointed towards a bank building in the distance.Rumble~~~The Totem Golden Pillar rolled, and space subtly vibrated. The Totem Golden Pillar seemed to teleport, suddenly crossing several kilometers and instantly smashing into the bank building. The entire building trembled slightly before directly turning into dust. At the same time, the ground beneath the building also vibrated slightly, spreading outwards in all directions, the earth undulating like waves.Subsequently, everything within a radius of several kilometers was reduced to dust.“My control over the power isn’t precise enough.” Luo Feng stood in mid-air, letting the residential building beneath his feet turn to dust, frowning. “I wanted to compress the attack into a straight line, but it still spread across the ground.”“However!”Luo Feng pointed into the distance. “By slightly modifying it according to the more than 3,000 secret techniques in ‘Essays on Space-Time’, and combining it with the 10th and 11th profound insights I just comprehended, the power of the Totem Golden Pillar is clearly much greater. Go!”Boom! Boom! Boom!The Totem Golden Pillar struck like divine punishment, sometimes here, sometimes there. Wherever it struck, the surrounding several kilometers were instantly reduced to dust.“Effortless mastery, I’m starting to feel that sense of effortless mastery.” Luo Feng grew increasingly satisfied. This study of “Essays on Space-Time” had indeed helped him immensely. Since his Yan Shen Weapon’s fourth stage was so powerful, what about the fifth stage?“Let’s try it!”With a thought, Luo Feng first dissolved the Totem Golden Pillar, which instantly transformed into countless golden lights and flew back into the dark golden long staff on his back.“Rise!” Luo Feng let out a low shout, his eyes narrowing.Immediately, thousands of golden lights shot out in all directions from the dark golden long staff on his back, instantly like the sun bursting forth with radiance. Countless golden lights rapidly converged during their flight, directly forming 36 golden swords, each over a foot long. The next step was to merge these 36 golden swords into a single dark golden longsword!For the fifth stage of the Yan Shen Weapon, each golden sword consisted of 81 small golden swords, meaning 36 golden swords amounted to 2,916 small golden swords.Luo Feng took a deep breath, looking at the 36 hovering golden swords, and let out a low shout: “Merge!”Immediately, the 36 golden swords converged. Each golden sword, along its complex golden secret patterns, refracted thousands of golden threads. Each thread represented Luo Feng’s comprehension of the two Laws of Origin, ‘Space and Gold’. Simultaneously, he controlled them with divided attention, making Luo Feng’s consciousness feel like an intelligent optical computer processing calculations.“Succeed, succeed, merge!” Sweat beaded on Luo Feng’s forehead.He saw the densely packed golden threads intertwining and connecting, completely integrating the 36 golden swords. A prototype of a dark golden longsword, over three meters long, had already formed. However, several areas on the sword body of this ‘dark golden longsword’ were still vibrating and twisting, with golden threads floating, unable to fully integrate.“Merge, merge!”Luo Feng’s face flushed red.His consciousness and mental power desperately tried to control it, but the repulsive force in those few areas was extremely strong.Poof!The entire dark golden longsword suddenly vibrated violently, then still disintegrated.“Hmph.” Luo Feng sighed, shaking his head. Immediately, the scattered 2,916 small golden swords transformed into densely packed golden lights and flew back into the dark golden long staff on his back.“If my mental power were at the Domain Lord level, I could forcibly combine them through its sheer strength,” Luo Feng mused. “If my comprehension of the Law of Origin of Gold were deeper, I could also succeed in combining them.”At the last moment, he wanted to control the golden threads to perfectly combine, but several areas still failed to integrate, precisely because his comprehension was insufficient.The Yan Shen Weapon is a mental power weapon created by combining the two Laws of Origin: ‘Space and Gold’.It is considered one of the Nine Great Divine Weapons.Because the eight Laws of Origin—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, and Lightning—are far easier to comprehend than Space and Time. Therefore, when combining the ‘Yan Shen Weapon’, it places more emphasis on the Law of Origin of Gold, with a relatively lower requirement for the Law of Origin of Space.“My comprehension of the Law of Origin of Space is sufficient to execute this fifth stage.”“However, my comprehension of the Law of Origin of Gold is not enough,” Luo Feng smiled helplessly.Luo Feng’s comprehension speed for Gold wasn’t slow.For Space, with the Ninefold Universe Chaos Tablet, Flowing Blood, Essays on Space-Time, and Zhenyan King’s guidance, plus the comprehension of his ‘Demon Killer Clan clone’, the darling of space, his progress speed was almost on par with the Law of Origin of Gold.But!Logically, his comprehension speed for the Law of Origin of Gold should far surpass that of Space!“I don’t have a teacher specifically for comprehending the Law of Origin of Gold,” Luo Feng mused. “Moreover, I haven’t studied any ‘secret techniques of the Law of Origin of Gold’. Now it seems I should have my Golden Horned Beast research a set of Gold Origin secret techniques. That would significantly boost my progress in the Law of Origin of Gold.”“Inherited memories, secret techniques vast as the ocean.”“Which one should my Golden Horned Beast clone choose?”
