Chapter 340 Meeting the Original Ancestor, the Secret Exposed

"The Primordial Ruler?"

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Isn't it too fast? Only four hundred years have passed since I became the overlord of the universe."

"Four hundred years is enough."

Giant Axe shook his head slightly, gave Chen Yuan a warning look, and said, "You are able to fight against the strongest beings of the five universes without being defeated, and you have also killed three universe lords. If you can't be considered a universe lord with such achievements, then no one else is qualified."

Seeing that the giant axe had said so, Chen Yuan didn't insist any further and nodded, saying, "Alright then."

"That's more like it." Giant Axe smiled slightly. "Then you should prepare yourself for the Supreme Conference in a few days."

"By the way, with your current strength, shouldn't you be able to reveal your identity as a 'Peak Treasure Refining Master'?"

Upon hearing this, Chaos, Darkness, and Youhou were relatively unfazed, as they already knew about it. However, the Dragon Lord and the Ice Peak Lord were hearing this for the first time and exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Yuan can refine a top-tier treasure?"

"Yes." At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore, so Chen Yuan nodded and admitted, "I can refine any treasure below the level of the Supreme Treasure, and there are no restrictions on the type."

"Giant Axe, let's reveal this matter at the Supreme Council."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of trouble. For me, the more of these refining commissions, the better, as they can effectively improve my treasure refining skills."

"That's wonderful!"

The one who spoke wasn't the giant axe, but the Lord of Youhou. He excitedly said, "Junior Brother, can we, who have refined supreme treasures, entrust you with this task a second time? I still need a top-tier supreme treasure battle armor!"

"no problem!"

Chen Yuan readily agreed: "Senior brother, and teacher, senior uncle, do you want battle armor? You can order it now, and we'll forge it for you later."

"And what about the giant axe? Do you want the Supreme Armor? If so, I'll try to get you one."

He paused, then looked at the Dragon Lord and Ice Peak Lord beside him: "Dragon Lord and Ice Peak Uncle, you can ask for treasures directly if you need them."

"Of course!" the group answered in unison. Then, Giant Axe asked in confusion, "You can even get your hands on the ultimate battle armor? Is the Mountain Dweller really that good to you?"

"Teacher Zuoshanke has indeed been very good to me." Chen Yuan vaguely addressed the question, then smiled and said, "Since there is a need, then go prepare the materials and send them to the Primal Secret Realm later."

"No problem," Giant Axe readily agreed. "I'll send you the materials after the Supreme Council concludes."

"Let's set the meeting for three days from now."

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded.

After giving these instructions, Giant Axe left first, leaving only six Universe Lords from the Virtual Universe Company lineage in the entire palace.

"Chen Yuan".

The Lord of Darkness smiled as he looked at his disciple. "I really didn't expect your cultivation speed to be so frightening. In just a few hundred years, you've already crossed several levels."

"And after doing something so big this time, they didn't even mention it when they got back." He shook his head slightly. "If it weren't for Giant Axe sharing the intelligence with us..."

We were all kept in the dark.

"The giant axe is an exaggeration. In reality, my combat strength isn't that strong," Chen Yuan explained with a faint smile. "Right now, when facing the strongest person in the universe, I can at most remain undefeated in a one-on-one fight, but it would be very difficult for me to kill them."

"The one-against-many situation that Giant Axe mentioned was also a forced situation. If I were to face four or five of the strongest people, I definitely wouldn't be able to win."

He shook his head and told the truth: "The reason I remained undefeated was only because I successfully refined the Star Tower, but in the end I still had to flee in defeat."

Upon hearing this, the five rulers of the universe changed their expressions.

"—Your strength is already extremely terrifying." The Lord of Darkness couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly, "That is the strongest being in the universe! The fact that you can hold your own in a one-on-one fight means that you have already surpassed any universe lord, including myself."

"No matter what methods you used, the fact that you survived from the hands of five of the strongest is enough to prove your strength."

"The teacher is right," Lord Youhou couldn't help but interject, "Not to mention, you later killed three alien universe lords!"

"That's incredible."

Youhou couldn't help but shake his head and say, "You should know that the three people you killed were all people whose strength was no less than mine. It's really hard to understand how they died at your hands."

"It's just some minor tricks," Chen Yuan smiled. "If Senior Brother were willing, he could probably do it too."

"Oh?" Everyone was surprised by this statement. Could this method really be replicated?

"What method is it? Is it convenient to tell me?" Lord Youhou couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"It is a secret art that utilizes willpower."

Since the Willpower Technique is not a technique restricted by the primordial universe, Chen Yuan did not hide anything and simply said, "Through this technique, I can concentrate my own will to attack enemies."

"As long as the opponent's will is weaker than your own, you can at least severely damage the enemy's will and make them faint."

After a pause, Chen Yuan continued, "And if the difference in willpower is even greater, then it's possible to directly annihilate the opponent's will, causing their immediate demise!"

"The most crucial point is that as long as it's destroyed through willpower, even if the opponent has clones, you can even destroy all of them together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"Is the secret art of willpower really that powerful?"

Unlike the others who were filled with shock and joy, the Lord of Chaos City showed a hint of worry on his face. "I have never heard of such a secret technique before. Such a powerful effect, if it were to fall into the hands of alien races..." As soon as he said this, the others realized what was going on.

Yes, such a bizarre secret technique, if it were to fall into the hands of alien races, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't worry." Chen Yuan smiled faintly, "This secret technique of willpower was created by me. There is no similar secret technique in the entire primordial universe—no, even in the entire cosmic ocean."

"Even if there were, the threshold for cultivation could not be as low as my secret technique."

"That's good." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Lord of Darkness hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Chen Yuan, is it convenient for you to reveal this secret technique?"

There's no way around it, this secret art of will is too powerful. It can ignore most of the enemy's defensive measures and even kill the universe lord who has clones. It is truly a great weapon in the universe. Who wouldn't be tempted?

"Convenient, of course it's convenient," Chen Yuan said. "However, I don't recommend making it available to everyone; there should be some restrictions."

"No problem." The Lord of Darkness nodded repeatedly. "Tell me, what are the restrictions?"

Let's set the condition as the will of a cosmic master.

Chen Yuan said, "After all, if one's willpower is too weak, this secret technique won't be very effective."

Only a will of this caliber can effectively increase the probability of killing the alien universe lord and weaken the alien race's strength.

As for those powerful beings below the level of the Lord of the Universe, even if they are killed, they can be resurrected and cannot cause substantial damage to the alien races.

After hearing Chen Yuan's insights, everyone nodded in agreement: "Alright, then shall we wait until the Supreme Council to make this public?"

"Sure." Chen Yuan nodded, then glanced at the other universe lords. "How about I pass on the 'Primordial Spirit Sword Intent' to you first?"

Unexpectedly, they all shook their heads. The Lord of Darkness said, "No need. It's only three days. It won't make any difference."

"As for now, we have more important things to do."

Is there anything else? Chen Yuan paused slightly, then a thought struck him. Could it be, "Chen Yuan, since you already possess the strength of a Universe Lord?"

The Lord of Darkness looked at his disciple with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "It's about time we met the founder of our Virtual Universe Company."

"The founder?!" Chen Yuan thought to himself, "As expected," but his face showed surprise as he asked, "Who is it?"

"This person was also my teacher, as well as Chaos and Ice Peak's," the Lord of Darkness said. "His name is 'Yuan'."

As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness explained the original's status and current situation to him. After listening, Chen Yuan suddenly realized, "So, Grandmaster is unable to escape because he was suppressed by the primordial universe?"

"Yes," the Lord of Darkness sighed. "No one knows what our teacher did back then. All we know is that our teacher fought a war with the origin of the primordial universe, and the result was that our teacher was permanently suppressed by the primordial universe."

Chen Yuan knew the reason why the original ancestor was suppressed, which was mainly due to a misunderstanding.

The progenitor mistakenly believed that "entering the cycle of reincarnation" was a conspiracy of the primordial universe. Therefore, even though his strength was already the greatest in the universe and he could easily pass through the cycle of reincarnation to reach the Origin Continent, he did not enter the cycle of reincarnation because of this misunderstanding. Instead, he chose to possess the primordial universe!

This behavior not only violates the supreme rules but also challenges the bottom line of the primordial universe, which of course has the right to retaliate!

Since the primordial being's physical body did not leave the cosmic sea, it was naturally seized the opportunity and suppressed in one fell swoop.

If he hadn't thought so much and had waited until he entered the cycle of reincarnation before seizing another body, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Of course, this matter involves the truth about the cycle of reincarnation, so Chen Yuan couldn't bring himself to speak about it and could only nod to indicate that he understood.

"Come on, let's go see the teacher."

After explaining to his disciples, the Lord of Darkness said, "Every universe lord in our Virtual Universe Company must meet with their teacher."

"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded, then asked curiously, "By the way, what about Senior Sister Yin Lan? Isn't she going?"

"Yinlan had already been there when she first became the Lord of the Universe."

The Lord of Darkness explained, "She is currently at a crucial stage in her cultivation, so I didn't disturb her."

"Alright." Chen Yuan shook his head. "It's a real pity that I haven't found the time to give my senior sister the congratulatory gift I prepared."

"Haha, there will be an opportunity." The Lord of Darkness chuckled. "Yinlan is making good progress; she should be out of seclusion soon."

"Besides, she will definitely attend the Supreme Conference in three days, so it won't be too late for you to send her a congratulatory gift then."

"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Teacher, let's set off then."

"Okay, let's go!"

The Lord of Darkness nodded.

The group then flew together toward the sky of the virtual universe, passing through endless chaotic air currents. As they flew higher and higher, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and the chaotic air currents became thinner.

"arrive."

As a towering statue appeared in the void, the Lord of Darkness spoke.

Looking into the distance, Chen Yuan saw endless fluctuations of laws manifesting there. Not only were all ten laws present, but various fused laws were also clearly visible.

This majestic statue stands amidst the endless laws, radiating the same law-based fluctuations as those around it.

"The origin of the virtual universe," Chen Yuan said softly.

"Good eye." The Lord of Darkness praised, "That's right, this is the origin of the entire virtual universe, and also the place where the teacher was suppressed."

"The power of my grandmaster is truly beyond words." Chen Yuan gazed at the statue of the white-robed primordial ancestor and exclaimed, "Only after seeing this origin do I finally understand what it means to be the undisputed number one in the universe."

The secret technique to create a virtual universe that perfectly simulates the original universe would have been enough for the Primordial Ancestor to break through to the Void God realm with just a thought, yet he was suppressed by the original universe, which is truly regrettable.

If the original ancestor had lived to this day, there would probably be no need for the other five alien races, and the entire primordial universe would belong to the human race!

The group stopped in front of the statue. The Lord of Darkness bowed and said, "Teacher, after hundreds of years, my Virtual Universe lineage has gained another Lord of the Universe. His name is Chen Yuan, and like Yin Lan, he is my disciple."

After saying this, the Lord of Darkness couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face. He glanced at the others out of the corner of his eye, as if to say: Did you hear that? Chen Yuan is also my disciple.

The Lord of Dragon Journey, the Lord of Ice Peak, and the Lord of Chaos City all smiled helplessly at this.

Although this dark junior brother didn't take on many disciples, his vision was truly exceptional. Three of his disciples became universe masters, which was truly enviable.

"Chen Yuan," the Lord of Darkness said, "come and pay your respects to your grandmaster."

"Yes." Chen Yuan stepped forward and bowed, "Chen Yuan greets Grandmaster."

"Good boy."

A gentle voice suddenly rang in his ear, startling Chen Yuan, who couldn't help but look up: "Grandmaster?"

"it's me."

As soon as the words were spoken, a white-robed figure suddenly materialized before them, causing the nearby Universe Lords to exclaim in surprise, "Teacher/Primordial Ancestor?!"

The Lord of Darkness was particularly excited, because the Primordial Ancestor had not appeared for a long time, and he did not expect that he would appear this time because of Chen Yuan.

It's worth noting that the last genius to get a teacher to show up was the founder of the Giant Axe!

"Chen Yuan, although this is our first meeting, I've actually been observing you for a long time."

The white-robed progenitor smiled gently. "You are very special, so special that I can't help but want to meet you."

Chen Yuan blinked. Had he been observing him for a long time? Since when?

He thought about it for a moment and realized that he should be quite cautious even in the virtual universe.

"From what I've observed, you seem to possess a very strong talent."

The Primordial Ancestor smiled and said, "This talent allows you to specifically optimize your access to secret techniques and treasures, making them perfectly suited to you."

Is that right?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was immediately startled.
