Yesterday, I was too tired and had a headache. I originally planned to notify you after the first update, but I forgot. Damn, I'll make it up at the third update today. Sorry for making everyone wait.
…
"What's the highest level of these secret manuals?" Ye Chen asked straightforwardly.
Zi Xiang blinked and muttered, "For each type of secret manual, the highest level is the high Emperor level. For the close combat type, there's a set of peak Emperor level. It's extremely difficult to cultivate. With Master's state of mind, studying secret manuals of this level is like reading a book blindly. It'll only be a waste of time and you'll eventually lose your way."
"Any secret manual that reaches the Emperor level basically requires a state of mind that surpasses a Saint to be able to read it. However, for some elementary Emperor level secret manuals, with Master's current state of mind, you can also cultivate them. It's just that the process is extremely difficult."
"Give it to me," Ye Chen said directly.
Zi Xiang pouted but did not resist. She raised her small hand and waved. Several rays of light flew out from the energy river and fell into her hand. They were several blue crystal cores the size of a finger. There were many water chestnuts on the surface. They were bright and translucent. There seemed to be many miniature energy runes floating inside them.
"These are the best elementary Emperor-level secret manuals in each category. They are 'Whirlwind' for long-range attacks, 'World of Wind and Thunder' for domain attacks, 'Silent Universe' for willpower attacks, 'Blind Sky' for close-combat attacks, 'God of Killing' for body-strengthening attacks, 'Pangu's Tablet' for body-refining attacks, and 'Big Bang' for self-detonation attacks."
"These are all elementary Emperor level secret manuals. With Master's state of mind, this is the limit of what you can read. It's a hundred times more difficult than the God level secret manuals. It's hard to understand. I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate it in a short time."
Ye Chen grabbed all the secret manuals with his big hand. He pondered for a moment. He felt that what he needed most now was the close-combat type secret manuals!
The Flame God's Secret Manual belonged to the close-combat type of armor-type secret manual. It could enhance all secret manuals. In other words, when he used the Flame God's Hammer, he could stack the close-combat type secret manuals!
"Keep these secret manuals for now. You have to start cultivating them one by one when you have time. Don't bite off more than you can chew. If you can't even master one, the rest will only be a blur."
Ye Chen was very clear on what he should do. He put the rest of the manuals into his runic space, leaving only the close combat manual, "Blind Heaven"!
Ye Chen held the small blue crystal core and exerted a little force in his palm. He felt a burst of electric current spread through his palm. His whole palm was a little numb. Then, this electric current flowed through his palm into his body. It was like mercury flowing through his body. He could clearly feel it.
The flowing electric current traveled all the way to his brain and took root in the depths of his mind. Then, it spread and spread. A vast and boundless amount of information was slowly transmitted into his mind. The speed was neither fast nor slow, and it did not cause Ye Chen to feel any pain. Instead, it was as if he was reading an unfathomable ancient book.
During this process, time seemed to have stopped.
After a long, long time.
Only then did Ye Chen come back to his senses. He retracted his gaze, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable shock. "This, this …"
"It's too mysterious!!"
The shock in Ye Chen's eyes could not be concealed. "The cultivation technique can actually reach such a realm, and the close combat can actually be so terrifying!!"
He did not dare to imagine.
"Blind Heaven: There are a total of three levels. Once you comprehend the first level, you can explode out with 100 times your own fighting strength!"
"Blind Heaven's motto: Everything under the heavens is blind!
Elephants are born from the heart, elephants are destroyed by the heart, there is no heart, there is no image, there is always the true self! "
"Everyone is blind, only I can see!"
The main outline of this "Blind Heaven" manual was majestic, revealing a peerless arrogance, looking down on everything under the heavens.
And with the illustrations, rhyme, and detailed explanation of the moves, this close combat manual was described in great detail. It reached a world that Ye Chen could never understand or imagine!
It was like an ant in a two-dimensional world, suddenly touching the three-dimensional human world.
Ye Chen's heart was in a state of shock. Just the rhyme of the first level was deep and profound. It was hard to understand, causing people to be confused and unable to understand.
If one was unable to understand the rhyme, they would not be able to display the true power of this move.
"Master, Master."
Zi Xiang carefully pulled the corner of Ye Chen's clothes, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ye Chen came back to his senses, looked at her, and shook his head slightly. He sighed in his heart. This vast world was indeed full of wonders. What he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the ocean.
He shook his head, threw these thoughts away, and said to Zi Xiang, "Are there any other manuals with special effects?
For example, the Invisibility Technique, the Qi Restraining Technique, and so on. "
"Yes."
Zi Xiang giggled, and with a wave of her small hand, a few rays of light flew out from the energy river and fell into her palm. When the light dissipated, it could be seen that they were a few dark green crystal cores.
"These are the more useful manuals. For example, this is the 'Art of Swallowing Qi', which can hide one's aura. When cultivated to the highest level, it can hide from the detection of peak gods. This is the 'Soul Doppelganger', which can create a doppelganger. This doppelganger is not a simple doppelganger.
"The comprehension obtained by this doppelganger can be obtained by your main body, and they can share the same soul. According to the level of cultivation, the number of doppelganger created will be different. The highest number of doppelganger can be created.
"And this is called 'Celestial Vault', which can use the universe's space refraction points, space flow points, space cracks, and dimensional points to hide. Even radar can't detect you. You can hide in an invisible space crack, which is equivalent to another pseudo-dimension," Zi Xiang said obediently.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it. He looked at it carefully, and suddenly his eyes fell on the 'Soul Doppelganger', and he couldn't help but ask, "This can create a soul doppelganger?"
"Yes." Zi Xiang nodded repeatedly, like a little baby.
Ye Chen's eyes were filled with a strong joy, and his body trembled slightly with excitement. If he could create a soul doppelganger, it would be equivalent to two people cultivating!
The time would be cut in half!
Ye Chen didn't say anything and quickly opened the 'Soul Doppelganger' manual. He absorbed the memory capacity characters from the crystal core into his body and engraved them on the memory cells of his brain.
"Soul Doppelganger: Cut a part of the soul and shape it into a soul doppelganger. The specific method is as follows …"
According to Ye Chen's experience, he knew that the effect of this set of Soul Doppelganger was actually the same as Superman's doppelganger, which was equivalent to a transitional product.
Throughout history, there had been a large number of talents, and some people would inevitably come up with strange ideas. Why did it have to be done according to the schedule?
Couldn't there be other methods?
Therefore, great inventions were created one after another …
And this' Soul Doppelganger 'was also one of them. Even if one didn't have Superman's mode, they could still use the same effect. It was just that it was more difficult to cultivate, and the minimum requirement was to have a Sage's state of mind.
With Ye Chen's state of mind, he completely met the requirements. He pondered for a moment and said to Zi Xiang, "Find me a cultivation room."
"No problem."
Zi Xiang said without hesitation, "The cultivation room that the previous owner once cultivated in can be given to you. There's a gravity engine inside, a time acceleration engine, and all kinds of humanized services in place. If you need anything, you can contact the AI system inside."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "There are still three days before the enemy catches up. I'll go into seclusion first. Let me know if there's anything."
"Okay." Zi Xiang nodded obediently.
Then, under her lead, the two of them took the elevator to a sealed cultivation room in the middle of the Demonic Palace. The cultivation room was vast and boundless, with stars shining brightly. It was like a vast void. However, when they stepped on the floor, they felt that it was made of solid metal.
Ye Chen looked around and found that he seemed to be sitting in a vast starry sky. His mind relaxed, and he was in the best cultivation state.
A philosopher once said that doing things in an empty place was three times more efficient than doing things in a dark place!
Ye Chen activated the gravity engine in the cultivation room, as well as the time acceleration engine. The flow of time in the cultivation room was adjusted to the limit, 100 times that of the outside world!
One day outside was 100 days inside!
In addition, the gravity was adjusted to 80 million times that of Earth. With Ye Chen's physique, he could barely withstand it. He felt heavy all over, and if his strength hadn't reached the 100 million level, his body would have collapsed under such terrifying gravity.
"Soul Doppelganger …"
Ye Chen closed his eyes, and his mind was completely immersed in cultivation.
Time passed …
The entire cultivation room was silent. Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, 186 days had passed. It was like the pages of a diary.
On this day, Ye Chen, who had been sitting quietly without moving, suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes. There was an illusory light in his eyes, and his skin gave off a boundless glow.
Hua!
From his body, a light flashed, and a nearly illusory figure stood up. This figure gradually condensed into a solid body, and its appearance was no different from Ye Chen's.
"I've finally succeeded …" Ye Chen's doppelganger let out a light breath, its expression and actions exactly the same as the main body.
Ye Chen had a wonderful feeling. It was like he had suddenly gained two more eyes, and he could see things from many different angles. With a thought, he could switch to any angle he wanted.
As the soul doppelganger condensed, an intense exhaustion hit him. Ye Chen's consciousness seemed to collapse. His brows furrowed, and after enduring for a while, he finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
When he fainted, Ye Chen's doppelganger also fainted.
One month later, Ye Chen slowly regained consciousness. Before he opened his eyes, he felt sore all over. He sat up, and many thoughts flooded his mind. For a moment, he felt like he had a big dream.
Ye Chen shook his head to clear his mind. When he turned around, he saw that his doppelganger had also awakened, and was slowly waking up from the ground. He felt that his mental state had regressed from Third Order True Saint to late-First Order True Saint's soul force.
