Chapter 667

Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art

The points were mainly accumulated from 10 dangerous-tier missions and 2 desperate-tier missions, totaling 1,316,060 points. Compared to other Cosmic-level geniuses, Luo Feng's points were already extremely high.

“This ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ costs 1.5 million points. As a Primal Region member, I get a 30% discount, so it still requires 1.05 million points.”

“If I buy this ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art,’ what will I do about buying the fourth volume of ‘Essays on Space-Time’? I’ve already almost fully comprehended the third diagram, ‘Rainstorm Diagram.’ The next step is to fully grasp those 72 essential insights, and after that… I’ll need to comprehend the fourth diagram.” Luo Feng frowned slightly.

“That ‘Essays on Space-Time’ fourth volume (or the first four volumes) requires 1 million points!”

“Where will I get those points?”

“Moreover, this ‘Essays on Space-Time’ is like having that great being who created the Ninefold Chaos Tablet guiding me personally. Whenever my Demon-Killer Race clone encounters doubts while comprehending the laws of space, consulting ‘Essays on Space-Time’ easily provides enlightenment. This is the best reference secret manual for cultivating the Ninefold Chaos Tablet, and I definitely have to buy it.”

“Never mind.”

“I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. A living person can’t be held back by such a small thing, can they?” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. “Once the Insectoid Mother Nest is cultivated, its potential is limitless. I’ll spend all my points, even if it means running out!”

Immediately, Luo Feng gently clicked ‘purchase’.

Three prompts quickly appeared on the screen:

“Transaction successful!”

“1.05 million points deducted. Balance: 266,060 points.”

“Please wait, the secret art will be delivered shortly.”

Luo Feng looked at the ‘personal points balance’ section on the page. The number ‘266,060’ truly made his heart ache a little. Points were really not enough! Where would he get the points to buy the fourth volume of ‘Essays on Space-Time’? And for a Domain Lord level to undertake missions, he needed to wait for the Virtual Universe Company to assign them.

If the Virtual Universe Company didn’t assign missions, there would be no missions.

Only with assignments could he earn points.

“The fourth volume is 1 million points, the fifth volume is 10 million points, and the sixth volume is 100 million points. My heavens…” Luo Feng blinked. To get the best resources, one had to pay a sufficiently high price. His remaining 260,000-plus points weren’t even enough to stuff between his teeth.

...

A moment later.

A member of the Virtual Universe Company delivered the ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ to the Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region. Luo Feng personally received the silver briefcase containing the secret art.

...

“‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’!” Luo Feng placed the briefcase on the table and clicked it open.

Inside the silver briefcase lay a single book. This book was larger than a normal 14-inch laptop, with a thickness of 12 centimeters. The pages were extremely thin, and the entire ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ book had nearly 5,000 pages.

On the book’s cover.

Were the four characters ‘万心控魂’ (Myriad Thoughts Soul Control), and in a corner, the signature ‘Tipu’.

“Tipu? The being who created this secret art?” Luo Feng pondered, then casually typed ‘Tipu’ into the nearby laptop to search for relevant information. However, the search results showed… insufficient authority, access denied.

“This ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ is one of the top-tier secret arts for controlling Insectoid Mother Nests. To create such a secret art, this creator must hold an extremely high position within our human race. Even with my Primal Region member status, I still don’t have the authority to investigate.” Luo Feng shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and opened the thick, bulky book. As he read, he understood more and more.

Among the 29 secret arts capable of controlling Insectoid Mother Nests, ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ indeed had a stronger effect. A Sector Lord level could control a Sector Lord level Insectoid Mother Nest, but the requirements were extremely stringent. According to the information Luo Feng had gathered previously, the important part of this ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ lay in the words ‘Myriad Thoughts’.

It mainly involved multitasking, and extreme multitasking at that.

And Luo Feng’s spirit energy amplitude reached over 3200. This meant that while maintaining each thought at its peak control, Luo Feng could simultaneously control over 3200 streams of spirit energy!

The ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ was divided into five layers.

First Layer: One-Heart Realm

Second Layer: Ten-Heart Realm

Third Layer: Hundred-Heart Realm

Fourth Layer: Thousand-Heart Realm

Fifth Layer: Myriad-Heart Realm

Among them, the first layer was the simplest. Generally, any Sector Lord level Spirit Reader could easily master it with a little effort. Once mastered, they could control up to 1 soul slave!

The second layer was much harder. Upon mastering it, one could control 10 soul slaves. A typical Sector Lord Spirit Reader would need to expend immense effort to master it.

As for the third layer, it was extremely difficult. First, the spirit energy amplitude had to reach at least 100 to even have a chance of mastering it—this was a prerequisite! Even if the spirit energy amplitude reached the limit of a normal Sector Lord (100), it would still require countless years of research and contemplation to finally master it. Once mastered, one could control 100 soul slaves.

Fourth Layer: Extreme difficulty. It was almost impossible for a Sector Lord level Spirit Reader to master it, because the prerequisite was a spirit energy amplitude of 1000! Many King-level Immortal Gods only partially achieved this. Even with a spirit energy amplitude of 1000, it was still very difficult to master. Once mastered, one could control 1000 soul slaves.

Fifth Layer: A legendary realm.

The prerequisite… a spirit energy amplitude of 10,000. However, even great beings like Universe Nation Lords rarely achieved a spirit energy amplitude of 10,000. According to the book’s description, even the creator had not mastered this layer; it was merely a secret art written based on logical deduction and imaginative inference of laws.

Because the creator himself had not met the incredibly stringent requirement of ‘spirit energy amplitude reaching 10,000’.

This single prerequisite alone disqualified countless Immortal Gods, let alone the arduous cultivation method. But once mastered, its power would be terrifying, capable of controlling up to 10,000 soul slaves.

“10,000 soul slaves, each capable of cultivating independently,” Luo Feng exclaimed. “But the conditions are too harsh. According to my guess, the Demonic Sound General’s legacy is divided into three stages. The first stage has 3333 levels, and I estimate that even fully accepting the entire Demonic Sound General’s legacy would only bring one’s spirit energy amplitude to 10,000. Yet, throughout countless years, no life form has reached the highest point and obtained the complete legacy. The difficulty of reaching a spirit energy amplitude of 10,000 is unimaginable.”

“The fifth layer, even the creator hasn’t mastered it, it’s just logical deduction and imagination based on laws.”

“However, for the Virtual Universe Company to approve its sale, it means the most supreme beings of the Virtual Universe Company must have confirmed that this fifth layer can indeed be cultivated.” Luo Feng knew very well that those supreme beings of the Virtual Universe Company were powers even the mighty beings who built Demonic Mountain wouldn’t dare to contend with.

...

Closing the secret art book, Luo Feng sat smiling at his desk, in a very good mood.

According to the book’s description, one needed to master the third layer of the ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ to confidently control a Sector Lord level Insectoid Mother Nest with Sector Lord level strength. One needed to master the fourth layer of the ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art’ to have a glimmer of hope of controlling an Immortal-level Insectoid Mother Nest with Immortal level strength.

As for the fifth layer?

Even the creator hadn’t mastered it. The creator merely stated that once mastered, its power would undoubtedly be unparalleled.

One must know that even an ‘Immortal-level Insectoid Mother Nest’ only produced so many Immortal-level insectoid warriors. But once the fifth layer was mastered, one could control tens of thousands of soul slaves. Each soul slave could cultivate independently and possess an independent will. For example, controlling ten or even a hundred Immortal-level Insectoid Mother Nests would simply allow one to dominate the universe.

“The creator was purely fantasizing, daydreaming,” Luo Feng shook his head. “The prerequisite alone, a spirit energy amplitude of 10,000, is incredible. Even after billions of years, no life form has fully obtained the Demonic Sound General’s legacy. Clearly, this fifth layer’s prerequisite is even harder than becoming a Universe Venerable.”

“Hmm.”

“According to the secret art, the higher the spirit energy amplitude, the easier it is to cultivate.” Luo Feng’s face lit up with joy.

For this kind of secret art, the so-called spirit energy amplitude was a ‘foundation.’ The firmer the foundation, the easier it was to cultivate, and the foundation also determined the highest achievement.

A spirit energy amplitude of 100 determined that the highest achievement was mastering the third layer, ‘Hundred-Heart Realm’! Generally, the closer one got to their limit, the harder it was to make progress. This meant that one usually needed an incredibly long time to research and cultivate.

But!

Luo Feng’s spirit energy amplitude was over 3200. To cultivate the third layer, ‘Hundred-Heart Realm,’ it was like using an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken!

His foundation was too solid, making cultivation thousands of times easier than for those with a ‘spirit energy amplitude of 100.’

“According to the book, I can cultivate up to the fourth layer at most,” Luo Feng mused. “But clearly, cultivating the fourth layer is very difficult. After all, this secret art… while it values spirit energy amplitude the most, it also has requirements for laws, quality of spirit energy, and so on. Generally, the fourth layer is meant to be cultivated with Immortal energy. Cultivating it with world energy is much harder.”

...

With his plan set, Luo Feng began his secluded cultivation life in the Beast God Canyon.

His Earthling true body’s consciousness was immersed in the ‘Origin Pearl’ within his origin core, manipulating threads of world energy to cultivate the ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art.’ At the Domain Lord level, power was divided into primal energy and spirit energy, but upon becoming a Sector Lord, they merged into world energy.

His Demon-Killer Race clone was researching the laws of space!

His Golden Horn Beast clone continued with the intricate carving, experiencing the ‘Beast God’s artistic conception.’ When tired, it would switch to cultivating the Sky-Rending Claw. Once not tired, it would continue to frantically carve and ponder the ‘Beast God’s artistic conception.’ This research into the Beast God’s artistic conception, surprisingly, made the Sky-Rending Claw’s power increase even faster.

...

All three clones cultivated simultaneously.

Law comprehension, ‘Myriad Thoughts Soul Control Secret Art,’ and the Beast God’s artistic conception—all three were progressing!

...

Beast God Canyon, vast and silent.

Hundreds of millions of cultivators sat cross-legged around the gigantic Beast God statue, and many more cultivators were in the cliffside caves. There were tens of thousands of Immortal Gods alone.

On the cliff.

At the edge of one of the caves, a man in stone-grey combat armor sat cross-legged. It was Elder Kebu. He was looking down, seemingly at the gigantic Beast God statue, but in reality, the corner of his eye was on ‘Luo Feng,’ who was among those surrounding the gigantic Beast God statue.

“It’s been a hundred years, and this human is still sitting there motionless. Even Dilun and Sifanqi, those two Immortals, are sitting there motionless.” Elder Kebu gnashed his teeth. “Dilun and Sifanqi completely prevent any Golden Horn clansmen from approaching, forbidding anyone from disturbing Luo Feng’s cultivation. To kill Luo Feng… there’s absolutely no way.”
