Chapter 509 The Choice of Secret Techniques
Choose a secret technique corresponding to a branch of the Path of Life?
To be honest, this question really stumped him, since he had only just finished collecting information on the Great Dao of Life and hadn't yet decided on his main cultivation path.
"However, my real goal is simply to master a branch of the Great Dao of Life; the effects of the secret technique itself are secondary."
As long as one's understanding of the Great Dao remains, it will be very simple to switch to other secret techniques in the future.
In that case, it seems that mastering either branch would suffice.
"Right now, I've already settled things with those who belong to the bloodline, so they can be ruled out first."
The Great Path of Life has six major branches, among which the Blood Branch already has the "River of Immortality" secret technique as its foundation.
After excluding this branch, you can only choose from the remaining five branches.
Chen Yuan recalled the characteristics of the five branches and thought to himself, "Both the Origin Branch and the Vitality Branch tend to have restorative effects, but the former is more inclined to replenish divine power, while the latter enhances immortality."
"However, I am about to refine a perfect divine body, and my divine power will be virtually inexhaustible for a short period of time. It seems that I do not need to replenish it, so let's rule that out for now."
"The Death Branch, as one aspect of the Great Path of Life, governs killing and extinction, and is the most aggressive branch among the six major branches."
"However, I already have the Path of Destruction for offense, and the effects of the Death Branch are somewhat redundant, so I'll exclude it for now."
After eliminating the three branches again, only two branches remain: the physical branch and the spiritual branch.
"Branch of the body — adept at modifying the structure of life. For example, my previous research on the life structure diagram can actually be considered as this branch."
Of course, compared to the true branches of the body, Chen Yuan's previous research was too superficial. Even the Infinite Divine Body was only the most basic of the basics.
This branch is extremely powerful; by modifying the life structure, it can further enhance the divine body.
"However, the spiritual branch seems pretty good too."
Chen Yuan was somewhat conflicted. Compared to the physical branch, the spiritual branch could transform inanimate objects into life, or endow them with divine power and spirituality, so that every drop of divine power could be used as an avatar.
Moreover, these are only auxiliary functions. The real use of the spiritual branch is to strengthen one's physical body. A physical body with spirituality will not only become exceptionally powerful, but will also have the ability to "transform" and can take on the forms of all things.
That's right, it sounds very similar to the branching of all things, but in reality they are two different paths that can complement each other.
The branch of the physical body relies on external objects to enhance its essence, while the spiritual branch starts from the body itself, enabling the body to become stronger autonomously. The effects of the two can be perfectly combined.
"But—it’s not just the spiritual branch that can enhance the physical body; the physical branch can do it too. Moreover, the life structure is the most essential aspect of the body, and it’s no less important than the spiritual branch."
This is why he is conflicted. Both branches are very useful to him and can complement his existing cultivation techniques.
To be honest, if he could, he really wanted to choose both branches.
Unfortunately, I can't choose.
"How is it?" Di Yulu asked, seeing Chen Yuan's silence. "You're unsure which lineage to choose?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
"There's no need to rush this. I'll always be here for you." Di Yulu smiled slightly. "You can go back and think about it slowly. Come back to me when you've made up your mind."
"—No need, I've already made my choice."
Chen Yuan slowly exhaled, his tone resolute: "I choose the God-King level inheritance related to the Life Spirituality branch."
He had just realized that while studying the structure of life was good, this lineage needed powerful life forms as a reference. If he relied solely on his own painstaking research, the efficiency would be extremely slow.
This can be seen from his research on the path to divine bodies.
If you want to reference the structure of powerful life forms, a place like the Cosmic Sea is definitely not suitable. The strongest life forms here are only at the Void level, and their life structures are even inferior, so there's no point in referencing them.
If you wish to cultivate the secret techniques of the Body lineage, it is best to go to the Origin Continent, where there are many powerful life forms, as well as special life forms hidden in the Chaos Layer.
Luo Feng's early reference to life structures was the silver droplet-like organisms living in the chaotic layer.
Without the silver droplets as a reference, even if Luo Feng could constantly observe the Great Dao of the Origin of Life, his divine body would not have transformed so quickly.
Unlike the physical body lineage, the spiritual life lineage does not start with the structure of life, but rather enlightens one's own flesh and blood, making it spiritual. It is one of the few branches of the Great Dao that have very low requirements for the external environment.
Even in an environment like the cosmic sea, the spiritual branches of inheritance can still be cultivated normally.
"Spiritual connection? That's fine." Di Yulu nodded, agreeing with the other party's choice.
As for spirituality, the requirements for resources are extremely low; as long as one has enough comprehension, one can get started quickly.
Since Yuan Chu was able to master the Silent Darkness Heart Sutra in such a short time, his comprehension talent is quite outstanding. Presumably, his efficiency in comprehending the secret techniques of the spiritual lineage is not low.
"However, my main body still needs to purchase secret techniques from major powers, which will take some time."
Di Yuluo said, "Therefore, you'll have to wait a while for this secret technique."
"How long will it take?" Chen Yuan asked.
"To purchase a God-King level inheritance, one can only go to certain large cities. My main body has already set off and should be able to purchase it within one or two days."
After a pause, Di Yuluo added, "If you take into account the time difference between the two sides, it's equivalent to one or two eras here."
""
Chen Yuan was not surprised by this. A God-King level inheritance was not weak in the Origin Continent, even for a God-King level one.
It's absolutely impossible to buy this level of secret technique in a small city like Huyang City; it's estimated that you can only do so in the main cities of the two ancient kingdoms.
Given the flight speed of the Chaos Realm, it's normal for it to take one or two days to travel.
"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly. Anyway, he still had plenty of inheritances here, so he wasn't short of secret techniques for the time being.
More importantly, after obtaining the biological materials of the Beast King, his research progress on life structure has accelerated rapidly, and it is estimated that he will reach the limit of divine power in no time.
Next, it's time to strive for the perfect divine body. He has already perfectly fulfilled the two prerequisites, so this hurdle shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Once the perfect divine body is achieved, one can break through to the True God realm, and there are still many areas to improve after the breakthrough.
For example, with "Severance", he can directly cultivate up to the third volume.
Therefore, even if Di Yuluo gave him the secret technique now, he might not have the time to concentrate on comprehending it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a strong urge to return home.
So he said, "Now that this matter is settled, I will head back."
"Once you've acquired the secret technique, just contact me through the virtual universe."
"Okay." Di Yulu nodded.
After nodding slightly, Chen Yuan vanished and left the place.
