Virtual Universe Company!

"I wonder how much it would cost to use the special nutrient solution provided by the Virtual Universe Company on Ultraman's clone!"

Thinking about the size and genetic level of Ultraman's clone, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. The bonus that he had just thought was very generous now felt insufficient.

The second email was because he had cleared the entire Trial Tower, so the Virtual Universe Company awarded him an extra 100,000 points.

Although Lu Yunhe displayed exceptional talent, the higher-ups still considered 100,000 points a substantial reward.

The third email was a reward sent by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom through the Virtual Universe Company, which was also 100,000 points plus 100,000 Hunyuan units.

Chapter 108 Secret Method

"One hundred thousand points plus one hundred thousand Chaos Units, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is someone I can deal with!"

Looking at the 300,000 points in his account, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Although at lower realms, the purchasing power of Hunyuan units is higher, reaching a ratio of one to ten or one to five with points.

However, because they are based in the Virtual Universe Company, the real value of points and mixed units should be one to one, or even higher, because some of these items belong to the five major powers and cannot be bought by outsiders.

In other words, by winning just one Genius Battle, Lu Yunhe essentially gained assets worth 410,000 Mixed Yuan Units. Slowing down the game a little wouldn't be a loss.

"Delacion, open the treasure vault!"

Lu Yunhe had Delacion generate a virtual screen so he could make his selections easier.

drop!

The treasure vault opened, and immediately eight major categories appeared on the screen: 'Mystic Arts', 'Weapons', 'Rare Treasures', 'Technological Weapons', 'Materials', 'Tools', 'Biographies', and 'Other Special Categories'.

Each major category contains many subcategories. For example, under the biological category, there are subcategories such as 'plant life', 'metal life', and 'beast taming'. Similarly, 'secret arts' are divided into different schools...

While examining the various documents in the treasure vault, Lu Yunhe instructed Delacion to write down any useful information.

Because he had four clones plus his main body to support, totaling five people, Lu Yunhe paid special attention to the information in the treasure vault, especially the secret techniques.

For special life forms that do not inherit memories, secret techniques can only be found by themselves.

"The Golden Dragon clone can draw upon the inherited secret techniques of the Golden Horned Beast, while the Ultraman clone can utilize human secret techniques. As for the Divine Tree clone and the Zetton clone..."

Lu Yunhe sighed slightly, realizing he could only wait and find a solution later, using the strength of the early adopters to drive the strength of the later adopters.

Just as Lu Yunhe was reviewing the secret technique, Luo Feng and Hong also initiated a call request.

"master!"

"Master Lu!"

Luo Feng, who was beaming with excitement, and Hong, who was trying his best to suppress his emotions, appeared in the room together.

Seeing the two people standing in front of him, Lu Yunhe instantly guessed the reason and laughed, "Are you dumbfounded?"

"This is absolutely insane! So many incredibly precious treasures that you can't even see in the outside world are just casually displayed there for people to exchange. Is this the true core of the human race?"

Before Luo Feng could even speak, Babata couldn't wait to start talking. After truly witnessing the wealth and power of the Virtual Universe Company, he couldn't help but regret his master's choice.

"Yes, there are just too many treasures to look at them all, so Brother Hong and I came here together to ask the teacher for some guidance."

Although Babata kept urging Luo Feng to go shopping, the latter managed to resist and decided to consult a professional.

After spending time together, Luo Feng realized that although Babata had a wealth of experience, he was no match for Lu Yunhe when it came to certain truly core information.

“Very good, it seems that you haven’t relaxed your mind after the Genius Battle ended.” Lu Yunhe nodded: “Points are very precious. You can treat them as equivalent to mixed units, and there are very few ways for us to earn them.”

"A hybrid unit!"

Luo Feng was secretly astonished, realizing that he had underestimated the purchasing power of points.

"Our next destination is called Chaos City. Our main tasks are still cultivation to build a foundation, and finding a master...!"

Lu Yunhe slowly said, "Xiao Feng, for you, buy what you can with Hunyuan Units. I suggest you divide those 10,000 points into two parts: use one part to buy some secret techniques that explain the laws, and keep the other part in Chaos City to spend as needed."

"As for Hong!" Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment: "Your points are too few. In these three years, the secret techniques that Babata and I have have are enough for you to cultivate. I suggest you save all your points in Chaos City before considering it."

Hong's case is that he is a late bloomer, unlike geniuses like Lu Yunhe and Luo Feng whose strength improves every year. We have to look at it over a longer period of time.

Three years is not a significant period for Hong.

"Once we arrive in Chaos City, our main task remains cultivation, to showcase our talents as much as possible. However, in some situations, we also need to consider our own status and strength."

When Lu Yunhe spoke the second half of the sentence, he stared intently at Hong, who nodded helplessly, indicating that he had memorized it.

After another conversation, Lu Yunhe sent the two away and began to purchase his secret techniques.

"Open the Arcane Arts category and sort them from highest to lowest!"

When it comes to the list of redemption items, the first thing to look at is naturally those exorbitantly priced items that are unaffordable.

As the screen switched, rows of images and text began to appear: "The True Explanation of the Giant Axe," "The Evolution of Chaos," "The Strange Book of Wilderness Mirrors," and so on.

The starting price is astronomical, reaching hundreds of billions of points. To buy the complete book, basically only a cosmic venerable can afford it.

Of course, since these powerful individuals are willing to showcase their secret techniques, they will not keep them hidden. Therefore, these exorbitantly priced secret techniques can be purchased in tiers.

The only drawback is that these top-tier secret techniques don't qualify for the discounts offered by the secret realm status; they can only be purchased at the original price. Furthermore, purchasing a higher level doesn't deduct the price of previous purchases (1000 points for the first level, 10,000 for the first two levels, 100,000 for the first three levels, and so on).

However, compared to cultivation techniques, the price of enhancement techniques drops by ten or even a hundred times.

Amplification techniques are divided into physical amplification and soul amplification, both with a maximum of 100 times. However, the biggest drawback of these techniques is that they require the assistance of resources.

It is virtually impossible to succeed in cultivation directly through secret methods, which is why secret methods are relatively inexpensive.

"Let's postpone discussing the amplification technique!"

Lu Yunhe glanced at the resources corresponding to the amplification-type secret techniques, but then turned his attention back to the law analysis-type secret techniques.

Lu Yunhe has an extremely clear understanding of his future path. Just like the secret technique he created, the general framework has been planned, and the main issue is filling in the details.

Studying the fundamental laws of space and time is an extremely difficult task in the Swallowed Star universe. Even a genius who emerges only once every hundred thousand epochs would find it difficult to become a Space Venerable.

Not to mention that Lu Yunhe not only wanted to pursue both paths simultaneously, but also to study the essence of the laws.

"I want not only an analysis of the essence of the laws of spacetime, but also an analysis of the essence of the eight fundamental laws."

The first three volumes of "Time and Space Essays" have 100,000 points. Although the title includes "time and space," the first three volumes mainly discuss the 108 fundamental laws of the origin of space.

The first three volumes of "Miscellaneous Essays on the Universe" have 100,000 points. Although the title includes "Universe," like "Essays on Time and Space," the first three volumes discuss the 108 essential aspects of the fundamental laws of time.

Once you have thoroughly understood the first three volumes of the two secret manuals, you will have laid the foundation for the laws of time and space.

"Chaos Evolution," the first two volumes, worth 1 points, mainly discusses the combination of the fundamental laws of time and space. It is further divided into three categories: those focusing on space, those focusing on time, and those focusing on the balance of space and time.

Unable to find a secret method to explain the "combination" of the Ten Laws, Lu Yunhe had no choice but to settle for something related to time and space.

With a focus on the combination of space and time, and based on the eight laws, this is the early cultivation path that Lu Yunhe has set for himself.

The complete set of "The Origin of Fire" costs 1 points and explains the essence of the entire law of the origin of fire. Once you fully comprehend it, you can become an immortal being of the law. Therefore, the price is pitifully low, and it is even discounted.

(30% off for the Original Secret Realm, 20% off for the Taichu Secret Realm, 10% off for the Tiandi Secret Realm, and full price for the Doomsday Secret Realm)

The book, "The Origin of Wood," "The Origin of Water," and "The Origin of Light," contains eight sets of detailed explanations of fundamental principles, costing 5.6 points.

After all the purchases, the 30 points earned in the Genius Battle were reduced to only 4.4 points, an unlucky number.

"We have enough secret techniques for now; we'll deal with the rest once we get to Chaos City!"

After placing the order, ten silver boxes were quickly delivered to his room.

Lu Yunhe opened the silver briefcase containing "Time and Space Essays" first; three golden metal books filled the entire briefcase.

The first volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 40 cm high.

The second volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 30 cm high.

The third volume is approximately 50 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 35 cm high.

The "Time and Space Essays" were made of some kind of metal, and just one glance at it made Lu Yunhe's consciousness momentarily dazed, as if he had witnessed the Big Bang.

"Fancy!"

With his mind in good spirits, Lu Yunhe quickly broke free from the illusion and remembered the material that carried the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual. The material that carried the unique secret technique of the universe looked unremarkable; how could it be so fancy?

Lu Yunhe mentally grumbled for a moment before opening the first volume. It was 40 centimeters thick and contained thousands of pages. Although the pages were made of metal, they were very thin and flexible.

"The 'Time and Space Essays' consists of nine volumes, containing a total of 10829 secret techniques. If you can find all 10829 secret techniques in these nine volumes, you will at least become a ruler of a universe, haha..."

The first page contained simple text, but strangely, Lu Yunhe seemed to hear a flamboyant and unrestrained voice.

"Again!"

Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe immediately opened both "Miscellaneous Essays on the Universe" and the first volume of "The Evolution of Chaos" and placed them together with "Random Thoughts on Time and Space".

"****The essence of time lies in metaphysics...xxx, you are wrong, time does not actually exist..." The voices of two unknown beings conversing rang out.

"Chaos is spacetime, and spacetime is chaos. Mastering spacetime means dominating the universe and becoming its master..." A domineering voice rang out.

In an instant, four inexplicable auras intertwined, and finally all returned to calm, and the originally mysterious metal pages became ordinary.

"It's quiet now!"

Lu Yunhe nodded in satisfaction, and then began to flip through the first volume of "Time and Space Essays".

On the metal page, a few simple brushstrokes seemed to transform into a set of simple yet incredibly sharp sword techniques. Seemingly chaotic, the casually drawn pictures contained a kind of most basic and simple artistic conception.

The greatest truths are the simplest. The essence of the universe is very simple, just like the cultivation system, where the essence is simply there.

"The essence of cultivation lies in cycles, from complexity to simplicity, from simplicity to complexity, and finally from complexity to simplicity again, presenting a cyclical and upward development trend..."

While he was trying to comprehend the essence of the laws of space, Lu Yunhe's mind entered into another kind of enlightenment, and he began to understand the essence of cultivation, since all principles are interconnected.

If you understand one method, you can master all methods.

Three days later, Lu Yunhe finally awoke from this inexplicable epiphany. Despite this epiphany, his strength remained unchanged.

The only change is that the originally pure mind has become more transparent, and the willpower has increased, which is a kind of late-stage talent.

"Master, the supplies you ordered and the gifts from the Thirteenth Master have arrived!"

After Lu Yun and his sudden enlightenment ended, Delacion slowly reminded him.

"finally reached!"
