After announcing the rewards, Chen Yuan looked at the newly born white-haired AI girl: "Irele."
"Master," Irene responded immediately.
Chen Yuan said, "Although you have only recently acquired a body and are essentially starting your cultivation journey from scratch, I will not give you any special treatment in this competition."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "You should understand that for Mingli and the other two to break through to immortality, they need to comprehend the higher laws to the level of a king, but you are different."
"As a mechanical life form, you only need to comprehend a lower-level law, just like a normal life form, to break through to immortality."
"You've been with me for so long, you naturally know the difference between perfecting a lower-level law and becoming a king of a higher-level law."
"I understand." Irele nodded, her little face filled with confidence. "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely be the first to break through to Immortality and win the treasure set reward."
"It's enough that you have that confidence."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan laughed, and not only him, but the three Zerg sisters also laughed along.
Mingli chuckled, "Sister Irene, you'd better keep up the good work! You know, Sister Youdie has already comprehended the Time Law to the peak of the Marquis level, and who knows when she'll break through to Immortality."
Youdie smiled slightly: "With these treasures bestowed by my master, I am confident that I can reach the King-level comprehension within 100,000 years, and the probability of breaking through to immortality is also over 80%."
Everyone understood that Youdie was referring to time in the Beast God Realm.
In other words, under normal circumstances, Youdie is confident that she can reach the level of a King-level Law Enlightenment within a thousand years and break through to immortality.
This was already quite an astonishing speed, and even Skole, one of the three Zerg sisters, couldn't help but shake her head: "I don't have that kind of confidence."
Although we both represent the peak level of enlightenment at the Marquis level, I'm afraid it will take me fifteen years to be confident of breaking through.
"It seems that Youdie will most likely be the winner this time," Mingli chuckled. "My understanding of the laws is still far from sufficient. Even with Master's help, it will probably take hundreds of thousands of years of comprehension before I have any hope of breaking through."
Mingli was very self-aware. Her talent was not as good as her two younger sisters, and her current understanding of the laws was the lowest among the three. Therefore, she knew very well that she could not be the first to break through.
After figuring this out, she felt relieved. Anyway, as long as she successfully broke through to immortality, she could obtain any kind of treasure. It was not bad to just accept the guaranteed reward.
But Irelia wasn't intimidated by Youdie's words and maintained her confident expression: "Ten thousand years? It seems this treasure set will be mine."
Then she looked at Chen Yuan: "Master, I will definitely break through within 50,000 years."
"Oh?"
Chen Yuan looked somewhat surprised: "Fifty thousand years? Are you sure?"
He announced the competition after carefully considering their cultivation progress; he wasn't surprised by the three Zerg sisters' cultivation efficiency.
But Irene's statement that it would take 50,000 years to break through was truly beyond his expectations.
According to the information he found, even a top-tier mechanical genius would need at least a thousand years to comprehend a lower-level law from scratch, which translates to about 100,000 years in the Beast God Realm, roughly the same as You Die.
But Irene said she was confident she could achieve a breakthrough within 50,000 years.
However, having confidence is always a good thing. Chen Yuan didn't delve into what cards Irene had up her sleeve. Seeing her nod in confirmation, he smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll wait and see."
He then looked at the three Zerg sisters and chuckled, "You Die, you heard that too. You'd better work hard so you don't get surpassed by the younger generation."
"Understood." Youdie nodded solemnly. "Master, rest assured, Youdie will do her best to be the first to break through."
"Alright, then you all should hurry up and cultivate," Chen Yuan said finally. "I look forward to the day you break through."
"yes!"
After everyone dispersed, Chen Yuan resumed his daily cultivation practice.
However, this time he did not intend to continue outlining the secret patterns, but instead, as he had just said, he prepared to comprehend the art of refining treasures.
There are reasons for this, of course.
The main reason is that this method of outlining secret patterns is essentially a form of secret pattern cultivation. However, even after outlining secret pattern combinations for ten thousand years, all the secret techniques he created remained at the "basic" level.
Ultimately, it's because he has too few secret rune diagrams.
To create higher-level secret techniques, besides gradually mastering more secret patterns, one can only forcibly memorize all the contents of the 64 secret patterns and then use exhaustive methods to create infinite combinations—this is the orthodox secret pattern cultivation method.
However, this goes against Chen Yuan's original intention. Moreover, before he has fully mastered one secret pattern diagram, rashly comprehending other secret pattern diagrams would interfere with his current comprehension progress, which is obviously not advisable.
Therefore, Chen Yuan decided to postpone the practice of combining secret patterns and wait until he had fully understood the first secret pattern diagram.
During this period, his true form naturally couldn't be idle, so he chose to study Master Zuoshanke's Treasure Refining Manual to improve his treasure refining skills.
Otherwise, if Irele and the others really break through to immortality and I can't keep my promise, wouldn't I lose face?
After confirming that all the clones had taken their positions and begun cultivation, Chen Yuan used a special secret technique called "Mind Barrier" to separate the different consciousnesses and ensure that the clones would not interfere with each other.
This mental barrier is a mental technique he has learned from the practice of fetal breathing over the years.
With Chen Yuan's current level of consciousness, multitasking is no problem, but this ability to focus is limited to handling ordinary matters.
Once he encounters something that requires full concentration, he finds it difficult to maintain this multitasking ability.
While the depletion of energy is the primary reason, the interference between various tasks is also an important factor.
Just like in the original novel, when Luo Feng was comprehending the secret rune patterns in the Beast God Realm, he focused on creating secret techniques, which took him a full 180 million years.
They have never comprehended the laws.
After all, once the other clones begin to comprehend the laws, it will inevitably disturb the main body that is studying the secret pattern diagram. This is also why Luo Feng gave up comprehending the laws.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if Luo Feng were to advance to the level of a Universe Venerable on the spot when he leaves the Beast God Realm.
The "mental barrier" technique that Chen Yuan comprehended effectively resolved the conflict between his clones.
During the period when the barrier is in effect, each clone can focus on completing its own cultivation task without affecting the others.
Once the cultivation is completed and the shield is lifted, all consciousnesses will instantly unify and share all the cultivation achievements of each clone during this period.
In this way, he can carry out multiple cultivation tasks at the same time, making full use of every minute and second in the Beast God Realm.
Therefore, after confirming that the mental barrier had taken effect, Chen Yuan took out the treasure-refining manual of the Mountain Guest and began to study it intensively.
Time passed quietly. Perhaps because these treasure-refining manuals were written by the Mountain Hermit, the more Chen Yuan studied them, the more he felt the profoundness of the treasure-refining art.
Unfortunately, the contents of these treasure-refining manuals were quite simple. The Mountain-Sitting Guest did not use any obscure or difficult expressions in them. He explained almost every detail in detail, allowing Chen Yuan to read through them completely in a very short time.
But what's even more amazing is that, even though he had already mastered all the knowledge in the manual, every time Chen Yuan reread the manual, he could always gain new insights from between the lines.
"It's always fresh and new."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Teacher Zuoshanke is really amazing. As expected of the Jin God King who is famous for refining treasures, even though the manual is full of basic knowledge about refining treasures, I can gain a deeper understanding every time I read it."
At first, he read through all the treasure-refining manuals in just a few years, and at that time he thought that the so-called treasure-refining technique was nothing special.
However, as Chen Yuan reread the manuals and gained new insights, he immediately discovered the differences between them.
Then came a deeper level of learning. One thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years, and finally, it took him a full five thousand years to fully master the contents of the first volume of the Treasure Refining Manual.
The entire set of treasure refining manuals consists of a full five hundred volumes!
Yes, it took him five thousand years to fully comprehend the contents of the first volume. He still needs to study the remaining 499 volumes more deeply.
"As expected of Teacher Zuoshanke, nothing he brings out is simple."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "But at least now we can see the end, unlike in the previous thousands of years, when it felt like we were facing a bottomless abyss."
If we don't consider the possibility that the difficulty of the subsequent manuals will increase, then it would take him about 250,000 years to fully master all the contents of the manuals.
Chen Yuan could accept the timeframe, because he found that these treasure-refining manuals were indeed extraordinary.
According to Chen Yuan's prediction, once he fully comprehends the contents of the five hundred volumes, he will be able to refine not only ordinary treasures, but even peak treasures.
These treasure-refining manuals are not introductory textbooks for beginners, but rather cover a complete knowledge system from major treasures to ultimate treasures.
Even with only a thorough understanding of the first volume, Chen Yuan was already fully confident in refining top-tier treasures, regardless of their type.
In other words, he is capable enough to fulfill the promise he made to Irene and the others.
However, Chen Yuan did not stop there, nor did he immediately put it into practice. Instead, he turned to the second volume and continued to study it diligently.
The main reason is that there is nothing that needs to be refined right now. He himself is not lacking in treasures, nor does he know the specific needs of Irene and the others. It is better to wait until someone breaks through and then tailor-make something according to the actual situation.
More importantly, the precious materials he bought with a thousand Treasure Points were not for practice.
So he quickly immersed himself in research again.
Eight thousand years later, Chen Yuan successfully mastered the contents of the second volume.
Only then did he realize that the difficulty of the Treasure Refining Manual did indeed increase gradually, and the original estimate of mastering all the contents in 250,000 years now seemed unlikely to be achieved.
However, Chen Yuan wasn't angry. After all, he would have to learn the knowledge sooner or later, so it didn't matter whether he learned it sooner or later.
Moreover, he did gain something, because while mastering the contents of the second volume, Chen Yuan actually comprehended the refining techniques for "King Armor" and "King Soul".
Yes, he figured it out on his own without needing to analyze the simulated space.
He immediately created a sample of the King's Armor and the Primal Soul, which were exclusive to the human race, and attached the relevant refining techniques, intending to send them over to his Soul Devouring Beast clone on its next journey to comprehend the Chaos Stele.
After completing these tasks, Chen Yuan went into seclusion again.
Time flies, and another 20,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Chen Yuan updated his cultivation results again, and the Soul Devouring Beast clone also returned to Chaos City to hand over the technology to the Dark Lord.
The result of that synchronization was that his time law reached the 20th level of the Bridge to Heaven, his space law reached the 15th level, his wood, fire, and earth laws reached their limits, and he comprehended the first three volumes of the Treasure Refining Manual.
Finally, the analysis of the secret patterns exceeded 70%.
All of these achievements occurred more than 5,000 years ago, which is 28,000 years after his second period of seclusion.
But Chen Yuan did not expect that only five thousand years later, he would wake up from his seclusion again.
However, this time when he woke up, it wasn't because any of his clones had made a breakthrough, but rather—
After 33,000 years of cultivation, Ireil finally comprehended the "Law of Wood" and became the first among them to break through to immortality!
