Chapter 242 Years of Passing Time
Chapter 242 A Hundred Years
When Chen Yuan arrived at the Wulong Starfield, it took him half a year. In order not to expose the true performance of the Shiyuan Palace in front of Lishan, he deliberately reduced the flight speed and controlled the return time to about half a year.
During this period, Chen Yuan distributed the compensation he received from the Zerg population equally among the three Queen Mothers, allowing them to focus on nurturing Zerg warriors.
Each Queen received 8.3 units of Zerg corpses, which made them ecstatic. With so many corpses, even if they were all used to cultivate King Warriors, they could produce more than eight million.
Although each queen can only control a maximum of one million Zerg warriors, any surplus can serve as reserves to replenish the legion in case of battle losses.
More importantly, cultivating Zerg warriors is itself a form of training for the Queens. The more Zerg warriors they cultivate, the easier it becomes for the Queens to comprehend the laws of nature.
Since he was already preparing to go back to seclusion for cultivation and would basically not encounter any battles, Chen Yuan instructed the three queen mothers to focus on nurturing the Zerg warriors and improving their cultivation efficiency before making any further moves.
As for commanding battles and training in coordination with other queens, that can be gradually refined after the Zerg army is fully assembled.
Of course, these were all plans that Chen Yuan devised for Mingli and the others.
Chen Yuan had also made a detailed cultivation plan for himself: to focus on cultivating various secret techniques while also comprehending the laws of nature.
Fortunately, most of the time-related secret techniques that Chen Yuan purchased were composite techniques that combined combat and research.
While practicing the secret technique, one is also studying the various branches of the law of time, which means that practicing the secret technique and improving one's understanding of the law can be done at the same time.
After returning to the capital star, Chen Yuan briefly explained the matters concerning his seclusion to Li Shan, and then immediately entered the Shiyuan Hall to begin his intensive cultivation of various secret techniques under 150 times the time acceleration.
Without the distractions of trivial matters, Chen Yuan was able to calm down and focus on his research again. Occasionally, he would go to the three queens to ask for some Zerg warriors to spar with.
It's important to know that although the Zerg employ a swarm tactic, their individual strength is not weak, especially the King Warriors, who are ten times stronger than ordinary Zerg warriors, almost all of them being equivalent to World Lord warriors.
It should be noted that, without the aid of equipment, Chen Yuan is now only slightly stronger than a Realm Lord Warrior.
Therefore, carrying only ordinary Force suits and weapons, he could barely manage to fight ten opponents at once.
The main reason is that these Zerg are so well coordinated. Although there are only ten of them, each of them can unleash law-based attacks and has even mastered combined attack techniques.
The combined power of the ten king warriors was enough to kill an ordinary immortal, so Chen Yuan, who was naked, naturally dared not take it head-on, making every battle he fought extremely dangerous.
Moreover, in order to maintain this high-pressure training at all times, he kept increasing the number of opponents. Once ten Zerg were adapted, he increased it to eleven, and once eleven were adapted, he increased it to twelve.
Under this high-intensity combat training, Chen Yuan's mastery of various secret techniques improved rapidly.
Three years later, his time acceleration technique, "Domain of Time," had reached a level comparable to "Tracing Back the Flow." However, "Tracing Back the Flow" reached its peak here, while "Domain of Time" could continue to improve until he fully mastered the profound mysteries of time acceleration.
As his cultivation progressed, the difficulty of these secret techniques gradually increased, requiring more time to be invested. Fortunately, with the Primordial Palace there, time was the one thing Chen Yuan had no shortage of.
However, on this day, because the optimization of the Heavenly Mantle Battle Suit was about to be completed, Chen Yuan unusually did not cultivate, but instead waited for the countdown to end early.
Finally, when the Tianmang battle suit was optimized, Chen Yuan immediately checked its attributes:
[Celestial Armor: Tier 8, Level 9, a top-tier treasure, a multi-functional composite armor possessing three major abilities:]
1. The power of A (can drive 100 times the base power, with an upper limit of 45000 times the power of a Realm Lord)
2. Formless and shapeless (possesses the ability to conceal one's aura and alter the user's appearance)
3. Double Protection (Immune to attacks below the level of a King-level expert; attacks below the level of a Cosmic Overlord are reduced to one percent; this defense is synchronized to the soul)
"As expected, the power of soldiers and armor has been upgraded to the power of generals and armor, with an upper limit that is a staggering 45000 times the power of a realm lord!"
Chen Yuan was overjoyed. "I didn't expect such a big improvement. It must be because of those seven fragments of the earth armor."
It should be understood that 10,000 times the power of a Realm Lord is the threshold for becoming a King, while 30,000 times is the threshold for becoming a high-level King.
In other words, if Chen Yuan could harness all the power of his armor, his basic combat strength could be directly elevated to the level of a high-ranking king.
"Moreover, after the Heavenly Light became a top-tier treasure, its defensive capabilities also increased by a level. Not only did its immunity to attacks increase to the King level, but its damage reduction limit also reached the High Venerable level."
Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad. With this battle suit, when we enter the extraterrestrial battlefield in the future, there will be no need to waste time in the Shattered Star Belt. We can go directly to the Yanji Continent for training."
After admiring the current attributes of the Heavenly Mantle Battle Suit, Chen Yuan put it away and continued his intense cultivation.
Two years later, Chen Yuan received an email from the Virtual Universe Company, which was a follow-up to the assassin in the Wulong Starfield.
The email mentioned that Venerable Yinlan personally led the operation, eradicating the alien organization behind the assassin.
This operation resulted in the deaths of 17 alien immortals, including one king, three marquises, and 13 military lord-level immortals. The number of infiltrators below the immortal level was also enormous.
Although these people may seem few in number and not particularly powerful, they are all high-ranking officials of the Cosmic Kingdom, with the leader, a King, being a core member of one of the five major powers.
Over the long years, this organization not only assassinated human geniuses, but also frequently leaked important intelligence to other races, causing losses to the human race far exceeding those inflicted by powerful alien warriors on the battlefield.
Therefore, the achievement of eradicating this organization was extremely significant.
Even though Chen Yuan only provided clues and did not participate in the entire operation, he still received a reward of 50 billion points, which made his previously shrunken wallet bulge again.
However, this news was just a minor episode in Chen Yuan's cultivation process. After understanding the situation, he continued to focus on his cultivation.
During this period, Chen Yuan successfully mastered all four ultimate moves of the second transformation of the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual". However, apart from the Reverse Dragon Strike reaching the perfect level, the other secret techniques were still at the proficiency stage and would take some time to reach perfection.
But Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry, because the secret techniques he was currently cultivating had been optimized by the system and were 100% compatible with him!
This perfect fit means that there will be no bottlenecks in the cultivation process. As long as he persists in cultivating, he will eventually reach the perfect state. With the help of the Shiyuan Palace, Chen Yuan has made significant progress in the cultivation of secret techniques that would take ordinary people thousands of years to complete, in just five years. This has already made him quite satisfied.
Time flies, and another 18 years have passed in the blink of an eye. This is the 23rd year since Chen Yuan returned to the capital star for seclusion.
On this very day, Chen Yuan finally fully comprehended an important branch of the law of time acceleration—time deceleration.
This branch and time acceleration are essentially the same, both being manifestations of the flow of time, and neither is superior to the other.
In other words, once Chen Yuan has fully mastered the time deceleration branch, he can use the same amount of time acceleration as he can use time deceleration!
Chen Yuan has now cultivated his time acceleration to the level of 800 times, so when he uses time deceleration, he can also slow down his opponent's movement speed by 800 times.
At the same time, understanding this branch also means that Chen Yuan has finally gained the recognition of the laws of time!
As a drop of silvery-white liquid merged into his life core, a silvery-white time mark appeared between Chen Yuan's brows, perfectly blending with his original pale blue wind mark.
After gaining recognition from the fundamental laws, Chen Yuan's talent for laws was further enhanced.
Almost the instant he gained recognition, he broke through a key bottleneck and raised his understanding of the laws of time to the level of the 16th level of the Bridge to Heaven!
This is truly a double celebration!
Furthermore, as one's understanding of the laws improves, the cultivation of secret techniques becomes easier.
After all, from a higher perspective, many of the problems that had troubled Chen Yuan were solved, and the cultivation speed of various secret techniques was improved to varying degrees.
However, Chen Yuan did not choose to leave seclusion because the improvement in his mastery of the laws also raised the upper limit of his secret techniques.
Taking the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual" as an example, Chen Yuan had already mastered the four ultimate moves of the second transformation to perfection, but as his understanding of the laws reached the 16th level, he had already reached the threshold for cultivating the third transformation.
In addition, the time-stopping secret technique "Suppressing Time" also gained new inspiration due to the improvement in his understanding of the laws. The originally slow progress of cultivation efficiency has significantly improved, and Chen Yuan naturally chose to press on and continue to cultivate diligently.
And so, time quietly passed as Chen Yuan focused on his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, a century has quietly passed.
