Luo Feng lightly tapped, exchanging for the secret manual “Piaoxue”.
“Transaction successful!”
“640 points deducted, remaining balance: 360 points.”
“Please wait, someone will deliver the secret technique shortly.”
A string of prompts appeared on the screen.
Unlike purchasing weapons or life fruits, which required physical delivery in the real world, purchasing secret techniques was done directly in the virtual universe! After all, secret techniques were a form of knowledge transmission, and the virtual universe was a 100% simulation, making it the most effective, fastest, and safest channel for knowledge transfer.
In the real universe, physical delivery required identity verification.
But within the virtual universe, everything was under the supervision of the “Virtual Universe System.” This secret technique was sold directly by the system itself, so the delivery was naturally secure.
“There’s a call request,” Babama called.
“Accept it.”
With a thought, Luo Feng conjured a screen before him. On the screen appeared a beautiful woman—Lady Fors, the realm lord managing daily affairs in the Taichu District of Yuxiang Mountain. Lady Fors smiled and said, “Prince Luo Feng, we have just received the manual for the secret technique. We need you to come and receive it.”
“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Luo Feng replied with a smile.
Indeed fast!
Physical delivery in the real universe would take a long time just for interstellar travel.
…
Whoosh!
Luo Feng flew out from his manor, stepping onto the Dark Cloud Shuttle, transforming into a streak of light, swiftly heading toward the building at the entrance of the Taichu District. In the blink of an eye, he arrived. Luo Feng immediately spotted Lady Fors, the realm lord of Taichu District, standing beside the entrance, looking up and waiting.
He swooped down.
“Prince Luo Feng,” Lady Fors greeted with a smile.
“Madam Fors, where is it?” Luo Feng glanced around.
“Just a moment,” Lady Fors replied, looking toward the nearby building. At that moment, a maid ran out holding a silver briefcase and respectfully handed it to Lady Fors.
“Prince Luo Feng, this is the manual for the secret technique we just received in Taichu District. It’s the one you purchased,” Lady Fors said, handing it over.
“Thank you,” Luo Feng accepted it eagerly.
Indeed.
Secret techniques were extremely important—he had truly experienced this in recent times. Previously, he had inherited the legacy of Yimo Star and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, so he had never worried about secret techniques. However, while studying the “Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith,” neither the Yimo Star legacy nor the Golden-Horned Beast’s inherited memories could assist him.
It was infuriating that he had initially spent all his points. For over eight months, while researching the first set of sword techniques, he had barely scratched the surface.
“Points are extremely valuable. It’s very hard to earn them. The initial points given were meant to help us establish a solid foundation. Baba, you tricked me into buying secret techniques back then—it was truly foolish,” Luo Feng said, flying high above the Taichu District on his way back, speaking discontentedly to Baba perched on his shoulder.
“Don’t blame me!” Baba looked innocent. “How was I to know how things worked in Chaos City? I only know one thing: the earlier you spend points to buy secret techniques, the earlier you can enhance your strength.”
“Don’t argue.”
“After this loss, I’ve learned that in the future, I must never rashly use up any items of uncertain value. Good steel must be used on the blade. The initial points given were meant to establish a foundation at the beginning, but I instead used them to buy a set of “Ghost Shadow Manual” for my Mosha Clan clone,” Luo Feng shook his head.
Fortunately, he had passed the first level of the Trial Tower and, as a new recruit’s first time in Chaos City, received a tenfold reward for the points earned in the 30 years spent there, thus obtaining 1000 points.
Otherwise!
If he hadn’t been a new recruit, the first level would have only awarded 100 points, the second 200, the third 400, and so on. This clearly showed how difficult it was to earn points!
…
Sitting at his desk, Luo Feng placed his laptop aside and set the silver briefcase on the table. With a click, he opened it.
“Woah!”
His eyes lit up.
Inside the briefcase were neatly packed rows of black-covered books, each bearing golden Universal Cosmic Script characters: “Nine Heavens” and “Piaoxue,” along with numbers: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3… all the way to Volume 110!
“There are 110 volumes!” Luo Feng exclaimed. Since cultivation techniques were inherently profound, their textual descriptions were usually extremely lengthy. For example, when Luo Feng studied the “Soul Seal” manual, the foundational preparations alone filled the entire first volume.
In his inherited memories, many of the Golden-Horned Beast’s secret techniques, when converted into Universal Cosmic Script, amounted to millions or even hundreds of millions of characters.
“Piaoxue” was a foundational manual, yet it still had 110 volumes. Excited, Luo Feng picked up the topmost Volume 1.
In the center of the black cover was the most prominent word: “Nine Heavens.” Beside it, slightly smaller, was “Piaoxue.” At the bottom left corner was the name “Lian Luo.”
He opened the manual and started reading.
“Overview of the ‘Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith’?”
“Understanding the Spatial Fundamental Laws?”
“Training in ‘Piaoxue’?”
Looking at the table of contents, Luo Feng was surprised to find that the first volume, spanning hundreds of thousands of words, did not delve into the 108 sword techniques yet. Instead, the author, Lian Luo, described his understanding of the Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith and the Spatial Fundamental Laws, as well as insights into cultivating the secret technique “Piaoxue.”
In summary,
the first volume of “Piaoxue” served as the entire manual’s preface!
“Understanding his thoughts and cultivation path will make studying the 108 sword techniques more effective,” Luo Feng thought, beginning to immerse himself in reading.
The Spatial Fundamental Laws of the universe were vast and profound.
To fully comprehend them was nearly impossible. Considering the countless humans across innumerable planets, generation after generation being born, growing, and dying—through thousands, ten thousands, even millions of years of reincarnation.
Only after countless eons across vast starfields could a single Cosmic Monarch emerge!
To become a Cosmic Monarch, one must achieve the status of either a Time Sovereign or a Space Sovereign! This illustrates how incredibly difficult it is to completely grasp the Spatial Fundamental Laws!
The “Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith” was the supreme cultivation path that could lead one to become a Space Sovereign!
The Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith was unfathomably profound. Its corresponding Trial Tower had 27 levels. Reaching the 21st level alone was enough to become a Space Sovereign and ascend as a Cosmic Monarch! The ultimate goal of the Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith was the 27th level. Truly comprehending it would place one at the peak among countless races in the vast universe.
The Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith consisted of nine images!
According to Volume 1 of “Piaoxue,” comprehending seven of these images would make one a Space Sovereign and Cosmic Monarch!
The first image was the “Raindrop Diagram,” the second the “Drizzle Diagram,” and the third the “Downpour Diagram.” These three images represented a progressively deeper and more refined study of the “Spatial Fundamental Laws,” much like how computer programming languages on Earth were extremely complex, yet at their core—
they were simply binary code of 0s and 1s.
At their essence, they were very simple—binary!
Similarly, take “Chinese.” Though complex, Chinese characters were composed of basic strokes and radicals. These strokes were the most fundamental elements.
Or take “English.” No matter how complex, when analyzed deeply, it was composed of letters like A, B, C, D, etc.
The same principle applied!
Although the fundamental laws of the universe were incredibly profound, their most basic essence was quite simple. The first three images of the Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith dissected the fundamental laws of the universe into 108 different mysteries. If Chinese was composed of strokes and English of letters,
then the fundamental laws of the universe were composed of these 108 most basic mysteries, which, through various complex combinations, eventually formed a vast cosmic law!
The first three images represented the deepest dissection.
The fourth image was the “Stellar Diagram,” the fifth the “Solar System Diagram,” and the sixth the “Galactic Diagram.”
Knowing just binary, strokes, or simple letters like A, B, C, D… was not enough to create vast computer programming languages or a dreamlike cyber world. Nor could one create the vast Chinese language or the rich Chinese civilization with just strokes, nor could one create the vast English linguistic system with just letters.
To build a vast and rich cyber world, Chinese world, or English world from the most basic elements,
required countless combinations, grammatical structures, and more…
The same principle applied!
These 108 mysteries were the most fundamental elements after the cosmic fundamental laws were dissected into fragments.
Images one to three represented dissection!
Images four to six represented system composition!
These most fundamental elements were combined and expanded upon, gradually perfected and broadened… until ultimately forming the complete fundamental spatial laws of the universe.
The seventh image—the strange and wondrous beast—represented the most complete cosmic spatial fundamental laws.
Comprehending the first seven images would make one a “Space Sovereign,” a Cosmic Monarch!
“I see now.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng said excitedly after reading the first two sections of Volume 1—”Overview of the Nine Heavens Chaotic Monolith” and “Understanding the Spatial Fundamental Laws.” “Ordinary cultivators who sense the laws and cultivate… it’s like learning English, directly memorizing individual English words. Learning some words today, some tomorrow, gradually accumulating strength over time. But learning without a pattern is ultimately chaotic and inefficient!”
“But first dissecting, then combining.”
“It’s like first learning the most basic letters, then learning grammar, and then systematically learning vocabulary, sentence structures, and so on.” Luo Feng smiled.
The principle was simple.
But the fundamental laws of the universe were billions of times more complex than Chinese or computer languages. Even immortal cultivators, whose souls could compute as fast as machines, still found it impossible for many to break through to Sovereign status over countless eons! It was just too complex—after all, it was the fundamental spatial laws of the universe, encompassing an immense breadth.
Binary could create a cyber world.
These 108 mysteries could be interpreted as a 108-base system. How terrifying was the cosmic fundamental law formed by their combinations?
Moreover, each of the 108 mysteries was millions of times more vast than the entire Chinese language, the entire English language, or the entire computer programming world. Let alone the laws themselves!
