Chapter 241 Leaving the Wulong Starfield
[Task established, remaining optimization time: 3 years and 6 months]
"The final optimization phase of Tianmang will take three and a half years? That's quite a long time."
This took longer than Chen Yuan had anticipated, but considering the upgrade requirements for the weapon's power, it was reasonable for it to take longer.
"But this also means that I will not be able to use the suit for the next three and a half years."
As he was pondering, Chen Yuan noticed the silver-white sphere beside him and a thought suddenly struck him: "That's right, I still have the Armor Beads."
It's important to understand that armor's function goes far beyond simply enhancing strength; as a type of combat armor, providing protection is its fundamental function.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan summoned the Armor Bead and placed his palm on it.
In an instant, the silvery-white sphere turned into liquid metal and flowed into his body along his arm.
After completing the initial refining, Chen Yuan carefully sensed it: "Indeed, the armor possesses two core functions, one of which is its protective performance..."
Secondly, it involves the power of armor.
"This armor can negate 99% of material and soul attacks, but its maximum resistance is only equivalent to ten thousand times the power of a World Lord, falling between the peak of the Marquis level and the initial level of the King level."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. This defensive ability was no match for Tianmang. One could only barely defend against attacks from a King-level expert, while Tianmang could defend against attacks from a High-level Venerable.
This is quite normal, since no matter how special the armor is, it is still only a sixth-tier equipment in the system rating, and naturally cannot be compared with the eighth-tier Heavenly Light.
Of course, the true value of the armor lies not in its defensive capabilities, but in its power, which can amplify the basic power of a realm lord ten thousand times.
However, to fully unleash this power, the user needs to possess the basic strength of an ordinary immortal god, a requirement that Chen Yuan currently finds difficult to meet.
After all, he is currently only at the peak of the Domain Lord level, which is a whole major realm away from the peak of the World Lord level, with a difference in basic power of thousands of times.
Even with the help of Bloodlust Power and the Amplification Secret Technique, he could only reach a dozen times the power of a peak Realm Lord, still quite a distance from the threshold of immortality.
After actual testing, Chen Yuan activated the gene power and the amplitude secret technique, and then activated the power of the armor. The final power increase was stable at about 1500 times the power of a world lord, which was comparable to the increase from the previous Heavenly Mantle Battle Armor.
"It seems that this is about the limit of my strength at the Domain Lord stage."
"If I want to continue to improve my strength, I must break through to the Realm Lord level."
Of course, Chen Yuan only thought about this idea. He had only broken through to the Domain Lord realm not many years ago, and his experience at this level was not yet sufficient.
Based on the three criteria of laws, secret techniques, and treasures, Chen Yuan currently only barely meets the standard in terms of his understanding of laws, which is close to the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge. He is still lacking in the other two categories.
The main problem was the extremely tight cultivation schedule. Since leaving Chaos City, Chen Yuan had only been able to cultivate peacefully for thirteen years before the Black Mist Clan war.
After that, whether he was fighting in the Nine Domains Continent or searching for treasures in the Wulong Star Domain, he was always on the go and could not find an opportunity to cultivate in peace.
Therefore, in terms of secret cultivation, he only completed the first transformation of the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual," and only mastered the "Reverse Dragon Strike" move in the second transformation.
In addition, the two secret techniques, "The Illusionary True Codex" and "Tracing the Flow," have reached perfection, and that's all.
In reality, Chen Yuan needed to cultivate far more secret techniques than these.
Especially during his time in Chaos City, under the guidance of Senior Sister Yinlan, he acquired a large number of secret techniques for applying the laws of time.
The most valuable items are "The Realm of Time" and "Suppressing Time," which cost over 2 million points in total. The former focuses on the secret technique of accelerating time, while the latter specializes in stopping time.
In addition to these two core secret techniques, Chen Yuan also purchased many other secret techniques to aid his comprehension.
Although the price is not as high as the previous two, the quality is far superior to "The Flow" which I bought in my early years.
He bought the secret technique "Tracing the Flow" when he was in the Qianwu branch. It was a common item among the immortals, with a low ceiling for time acceleration and a lack of content on time deceleration.
It's important to understand that time acceleration and deceleration are essentially the same thing, different branches of the same profound mystery, while time stopping and time reversal are completely different categories.
In order to better comprehend the laws of time, Chen Yuan purchased a large number of auxiliary secret techniques, preparing to delve into the various branches under the three great mysteries.
This is precisely the focus of Chen Yuan's upcoming seclusion and cultivation in the Rongshan Universe Kingdom.
Indeed, after submitting the Heavenly Armor to the optimization panel, Chen Yuan had already decided to leave the Wulong Starfield.
After all, he had already completed his goal by collecting all the armor pieces, and collecting the fragments of the King Armor was too time-consuming and not cost-effective at all.
Moreover, the King Armor is currently available for sale in Hongmeng City, and it's not even expensive, costing only 50 billion Chaos Units.
So if he really wanted to buy the King Armor, he could have waited until he joined the Hongmeng Alliance and bought it in Hongmeng City.
As for when to be invited by the Hong Alliance—that requires demonstrating King-level combat power, any kind of combat power will do. For example, if the Zerg mother hive enslaved by Chen Yuan is properly nurtured, it will be qualified to be invited by the Hong Alliance.
However, it's not possible yet, because Chen Yuan doesn't have any relevant battle achievements. The battle with the Demon Candle King certainly doesn't count. His real achievements would at least require killing enemies!
Chen Yuan clearly remembered that in the original story, Luo Feng was invited to join the Hong Alliance because he killed a low-level King Immortal.
Therefore, he is indeed unable to enter the Hong Alliance in the short term, unless he can kill a King-level Immortal with the help of the Zerg Queen.
Anyway, Chen Yuan wasn't in a hurry. While it was difficult to find Immortal Kings in the human realm, they were everywhere in the outer battlefields, so there was no need to worry about not having enough battle achievements.
In the short term, the power of the armor is enough for him to use, at least he can roam freely on the battlefield outside the domain without any problem.
Therefore, Chen Yuan only needs to focus on two things next:
1. Cultivate various secret techniques to improve your understanding of laws and combat abilities.
2. Optimize all your equipment to the highest level of treasure.
Having experienced the Black Mist Clan War, he had accumulated a considerable amount of primal energy, so he needed to optimize all the equipment that needed to be optimized, just in time to prepare for the future extraterrestrial battlefield.
Only after both of these things are completed will Chen Yuan be able to break through to the Realm Lord level.
After leaving the garbage mountain, Chen Yuan said to the two men in white robes, "Let's stop here for Taobao. We should go now."
"Your Highness, are you not going to continue?" a man in white robes reminded him. "Your Taobao qualification is valid for a hundred years. If you leave now, your qualification will be invalid."
"Forget it, we're not really getting anything out of it, and we'll get bored after a while." Chen Yuan shook his head. "Let's go back."
Seeing Chen Yuan's resolute attitude, the white-robed men stopped trying to persuade him. In fact, they had wanted to leave for a long time, and their reminder was just a formality.
After three days of dark space travel, Chen Yuan returned to the familiar palace complex. He immediately sent messages to King Longjue and Lishan, informing them that he was preparing to leave.
Before long, King Longjue appeared before them, laughing heartily, "I didn't expect Your Highness to leave so soon. Did you encounter something unpleasant at the garbage mountain?"
"No, it's actually quite interesting to find treasures in this garbage dump."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's just that I've been away for long enough this time. After all, I still hold a position in the Rongshan Universe Kingdom, and it's not appropriate for me to be away for too long."
"So it's important business. Then I won't keep Your Highness any longer." King Longjue smiled, then took out two world rings. "These are compensation for Your Highness, and King Mozhu's share of compensation is also included. Please accept them, Your Highness."
"Um."
Chen Yuan took the ring, scanned it with his mental power, and then smiled, "The quality of these insectoid corpses is indeed high. Alright, I'll accept it."
"I'm glad Your Highness is satisfied."
King Longjue also had a smile on his face.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Shan arrived and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Junior Uncle, I was in seclusion and it took some time."
"It's nothing, I just finished my business too." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "You've come at the right time, let's set off back to Rongshan Universe Kingdom now."
King Longjue then said, "Your Highness, let me see you off."
The three arrived at the gate of the palace complex. Then Chen Yuan took out the Shiyuan Hall and entered with Li Shan.
Under the watchful gaze of King Longjue, the Shiyuan Palace began to accelerate, quickly entering the dark universe and speeding towards the Rongshan Imperial Capital Star.
