Enlightenment Mat

"Water Sky One Line, Sevenfold Space, Primordial Saint Body..."

After returning to Ning An Residential Area, Yue Ming could not wait to begin his closed-door cultivation. He opened his Smart Optical Computer to review the secret techniques. The three techniques were Water Sky One Line, a Water Origin Laws attack technique; Sevenfold Space, a Space Origin Laws attack and movement technique; and Primordial Saint Body, a technique for exerting force.

Water Sky One Line was a pure Water Origin Laws attack technique. Sevenfold Space included both attacks and movement, though it mainly leaned toward movement. It was the only martialist Space Element technique in Meteor Star's inheritance, so Yue Ming had no choice in the matter. As for Primordial Saint Body, he had only received its first volume.

According to the introduction in the secret techniques, Water Sky One Line and Sevenfold Space were both ordinary techniques, which was more or less what Yue Ming had expected. Nearly all the martialist secret techniques in Meteor Star's inheritance were ordinary-grade. Only the grade of Primordial Saint Body was unknown, and he had only its first volume.

"Could Bebeth be holding something back?"

Thinking of Bebeth's personality, it was entirely capable of doing something like that. Yue Ming immediately contacted Luo Feng and had him call Bebeth out. Dazzling light gathered into a virtual figure, and Bebeth sat on Luo Feng's shoulder, glaring at Yue Ming with displeasure.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't interrupt me while I'm playing games."

"Bebeth, you've gone too far. I'm a member of Meteor Star now too, yet you gave me an incomplete secret technique. Why did you only give me the first volume of Primordial Saint Body?"

"Because I only have the first volume..."

Bebeth began explaining the origins of Primordial Saint Body. Hu Yanbo had once purchased it at an auction. It was said that Primordial Saint Body had been created by a great Universe Venerable. Its first volume recorded a hundredfold force-exertion technique, while its second volume recorded a hundredfold divine body amplitude technique.

Hu Yanbo had relied on Primordial Saint Body to achieve a hundredfold force exertion, allowing him to break through to the Immortal God realm. Later, although Hu Yanbo had searched for the second volume of Primordial Saint Body, he had spent tens of thousands of years without finding any trace of it. Perhaps only the universe's top powers possessed the complete technique.

"Then forget it."

After ending the video call, Yue Ming began focusing on comprehending the secret techniques. Two months passed in the blink of an eye. He had initially mastered all three techniques, bringing them all to the beginner level. He had also corrected his flawed methods of exerting force, and his force-exertion level had broken through to fifteenfold.

Perhaps this was the difference between a Personal Disciple and an ordinary Meteor Star disciple. After Luo Feng received Meteor Star's inheritance, all the secret techniques contained in the soul imprint automatically reached the beginner level, so he did not need to cultivate them himself. Unlike Yue Ming, who still had to learn them on his own, the difference in treatment was like heaven and earth.

Level: Stellar Level third stage (second stage)

Realm: Water Origin Laws 6%, Space Origin Laws 1%

Genes: 100-fold

Force Exertion: 15-fold

Secret Techniques: Water Sky One Line, Sevenfold Space, first volume of Primordial Saint Body

Yue Ming did not continue cultivating the secret techniques. Next, he planned to comprehend the Divine Spark. His figure vanished from where he stood, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the Time-Space Disruptor Small World. For better secrecy, he would no longer take the Divine Sparks outside in the future. Whenever he comprehended them, he would enter the Small World.

This time, Yue Ming planned to comprehend a Space Element Divine Spark. As a superior law, the Space Origin Laws were exponentially more difficult to comprehend. Even with the aid of a Space Element Divine Spark, it still took him more than half a year to push his comprehension progress to 2%.

"At my current speed of comprehending laws, I don't need to worry about the Water Origin Laws. Before the Peak Genius Battle begins, my comprehension progress will definitely reach 15%. But the Space Origin Laws are harder to say. It seems I need to find a way to increase my speed of comprehending laws..."

Yue Ming logged into the Chat Group Mall and directly used the search function to look for treasures that could aid enlightenment. After all, Divine Sparks were already the best treasures for assisting in the comprehension of Origin Laws. The search quickly returned results, and rows of treasure names and descriptions appeared in the shopping list.

[Innate Bodhi Seed]: Originated from a high-level Primordial World. It is the seed of the Innate spiritual root Bodhi Tree. Carrying it calms the mind and settles the heart, wards off external evils, and enhances comprehension...

[Eternal Heavenly Bead]: Originated from Eternity Fantasy World. The Heavenly Bead can absorb the luck of humanity, granting its wearer a hundredfold boost to comprehension...

[Immortal Throne]: Originated from a gods-and-demons Fantasy World. It is the supreme sacred relic of the Immortal race. Sitting upon it grants the supreme blessing of the Heavenly Dao...

The shopping list contained countless treasures, but the items at the top were almost all sixth-tier treasures, which Yue Ming simply could not afford. His current points could only purchase third-tier treasures at most. After filtering out treasures of the fourth tier and above, Yue Ming ultimately set his sights on a treasure called the Enlightenment Mat.

Besides treasures that aided enlightenment, Yue Ming also searched for treasures that could increase comprehension. This time, he directly filtered out everything fourth-tier and above, lest looking at things he could not afford irritate him. In the end, Yue Ming took a liking to a treasure called the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Compared to treasures that aided enlightenment, treasures that increased comprehension were more expensive.

"Purchase the Enlightenment Mat."

"1,200 trillion points deducted."

"Purchase the Heavenly Spirit Fruit."

"1,800 trillion points deducted."

After the points were deducted, a bright red fruit and a cushion resembling white jade appeared out of thin air in Yue Ming's hands. The Heavenly Spirit Fruit and Enlightenment Mat were both third-tier treasures, costing Yue Ming a total of 3,000 trillion points. Now, he had only a little over 1,400 trillion points left.

"Looks like I need to enter the universe as soon as possible and find a way to earn points..."

More than 1,400 trillion points seemed like a lot. It was enough to buy Low-level Divine Sparks, but a slightly better Mid-level Divine Spark could easily cost several hundred trillion points, or even over a thousand trillion points. More than 1,400 trillion points really was not much, so he had to find a way to earn more.

As for ways to earn points, Yue Ming had actually considered them long ago. He had thought about selling Swallowed Star secret techniques, but considering that Cultivation Methods were dirt cheap in the Chat Group Mall, he abandoned the idea. After all, even if he joined the Virtual Universe Company, buying secret techniques would still require points, and Virtual Universe Company points were not easy to earn either.

After much consideration, he felt that selling treasures that increased Gene Level would be more profitable. In the Swallowed Star universe, many Venerables had only ordinary Gene Levels. He could casually buy a first-tier treasure that raised Gene Level from the Chat Group Mall for a few dozen points, then sell it outside for at least ten thousand Primordial Units.

Yue Ming was not entirely sure how valuable treasures that raised Gene Level were, but he remembered that in the original work, the Virtual Universe Company bought back Blood Luo Crystals for 600 points each, equivalent to 600 Primordial Units. Moreover, Luo Feng was forbidden from selling them outside. Even giving them away required submitting an application, and if the application was not approved, he could not gift them to anyone. This showed just how precious treasures that raised Gene Level were. They were strictly controlled by the Five Great Powers.

A Blood Luo Crystal could easily sell for ten times its price outside, and even a hundredfold markup would still attract plenty of buyers. Compared with Blood Luo Crystals, the treasures Yue Ming bought from the Chat Group Mall were undoubtedly better. With a purchase price of merely a few dozen points, they could sell for at least ten thousand Primordial Units—a profit of ten trillion trillion times.
