Self-created Secret Technique?

Jiang Ming entered the safe house. The grade of his safe house was high enough that although the attacks outside had looked incomparably terrifying, they had not affected it in the slightest.

"Master, you're so strong!"

After entering the safe house, the Dragon Horn race girl, now changed into a maid outfit, looked at Jiang Ming with worship in her eyes.

The safe house allowed them to see a simulated view of the outside world, so Li Yue had naturally witnessed every change on the battlefield.

At this moment, intense admiration and reverence shone openly in her gaze.

"They were simply too weak. Not worth mentioning."

Although it was merely the admiration of a servant, Jiang Ming still found it quite pleasing. He waved a hand and sat down on a sofa.

Seeing this, Li Yue immediately reached out and began removing Jiang Ming's damaged battle armor.

Jiang Ming did not stop her. Instead, his consciousness entered the Virtual Universe.

The moment he arrived at the manor, Jiang Ming saw Marquis Flame Abyss. She had clearly been waiting for him for some time.

"Was that a Self-created Secret Technique?"

Before Jiang Ming could even greet her, Marquis Flame Abyss asked first.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She knew that this student of hers was monstrously gifted.

It was evident from the speed at which he comprehended the Flame Origin Law.

However, comprehending laws and creating one's own secret technique were entirely different matters.

Without sufficient accumulation of time, knowledge, and foundation, even learning other people's secret techniques was difficult, let alone creating one from scratch.

"Yes, I suppose it counts."

That was not false. As Jiang Ming's understanding of the Stellar Body gradually deepened, he could now perform the Stellar Body without relying on his innate talent.

Moreover, its power was still considerable.

Although he was currently unable to perform the Third Level Stellar Body based solely on his own comprehension, the Stellar Body was gradually transforming from an innate talent into a secret technique he could understand and use.

"What monstrously gifted comprehension."

Marquis Flame Abyss had never taken her attention off this student of hers. The instant Jiang Ming began fighting, she had received the news.

She had even used certain methods to watch the battle in real time.

When Jiang Ming used Shine Upon All, she immediately noticed that its power was wrong.

Her student was only at the Stellar level. No matter how strong his comprehension or how deep his understanding of laws, the secret technique he could use should not have possessed that level of power.

Thus, she easily concluded that Jiang Ming had used a Self-created Secret Technique.

Only a Self-created Secret Technique could elevate its user's strength to such an extent.

Furthermore, what Jiang Ming had used was not a rough prototype, but a truly perfected secret technique.

"How many levels have you created so far?"

Marquis Flame Abyss asked. A secret technique with that kind of power was not even at the first level; it was most likely at the second or third level.

"The second level."

Jiang Ming had no intention of hiding it and answered directly. He was indeed at this level now, although his physical body in reality could perform the third level.

"Only the second level?"

Marquis Flame Abyss did not hide the shock on her face at all. This student of hers had given her far too great a surprise.

If Jiang Ming had previously used a Third Level secret technique, it would have meant that the rank of the secret technique he had created was not particularly high and would likely reach its limit at the Universe level.

But if it was only at the second level, then with further refinement and development, it might remain an extremely powerful secret technique even at the Domain Lord level.

After her shock subsided, Marquis Flame Abyss also warned him.

"Secret techniques may be powerful, but for you, comprehension of laws is the foundation. With your talent, before becoming immortal, try not to waste too much time creating your own secret techniques."

Even a Realm Lord only had a lifespan of ten million years. If Jiang Ming became obsessed with researching secret techniques, then even with his astonishing talent, it was possible that his comprehension of laws would be slowed. Even if he became invincible among Realm Lords through a Self-created Secret Technique, so what?

After ten million years, would he not still become a speck of cosmic dust?

"I'll keep that in mind."

Naturally, he understood this principle. Laws were the foundation; no matter how powerful a secret technique was, it was useless for breaking through realms.

However, what was normal for ordinary people did not quite apply to him.

A 63-fold Body Gene advantage was not merely a matter of being superior to other humans in strength, talent, and physique.

The same was true of lifespan.

Other Stellar level warriors only had a lifespan of 10,000 years, while he had 630,000 years.

Not only did Jiang Ming have no concerns about lifespan, he had instead been constantly considering how to accelerate the flow of time in the Wheel of Time so that he could finish this long life sooner.

"For now, stay in Thunder World and do not come out. I have already set off for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

I should reach Canglan Star in about two months. Do not come out before I arrive."

Marquis Flame Abyss continued.

"Teacher? You're coming over?"

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised to hear that Marquis Flame Abyss was coming.

"The commotion you caused was too great. I'm worried someone may set their sights on you. A powerful Domain Lord guards the entrance to Thunder World. You are absolutely safe inside Thunder World, but once you come out, it is hard to say. So, I plan to bring you to Flame Abyss Star."

Marquis Flame Abyss explained.

She was not worried about the Black Dragon Mountain forces Jiang Ming had offended within Thunder World, but she was somewhat concerned about alien assassins.

Although the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was merely a very small mid-level Universe Country and had never produced any truly noteworthy geniuses, the stir Jiang Ming had caused was a little too great. There was a certain chance it might draw the attention of alien races.

"I understand."

Jiang Ming nodded. He had no objections to going to Flame Abyss Star. After Thunder World, he had planned to enter seclusion until the Universe Genius Battle began.

Going to Flame Abyss Star now merely meant changing the place where he would cultivate in seclusion.

After leaving the Virtual Universe, Jiang Ming's consciousness returned to reality.

At this moment, the damaged battle armor on his body had already been removed by Li Yue. She was wiping down his body and helping him change into a new Origin Power Battle Suit.

Jiang Ming watched Li Yue finish everything, then said, "Let's go. We're entering the World within a World."

After that battle, Jiang Ming felt that no one in Thunder World would dare compete with him anymore.

There was little point in continuing to guard this entrance. It would be better to enter the World within a World and speed up the collection of its treasures.

"Yes, Master."

After hearing Jiang Ming's words, Li Yue replied, then jogged into another room and emerged wearing a combat uniform.

After entering the entrance to the World within a World, Jiang Ming scattered another ring of surveillance robots near the entrance, ensuring that he would notice anyone entering through it.

Meanwhile, at the center of the World within a World, under the guidance of the ancient castle's Intelligent program, Luo Feng and the others arrived in a cold, shadowy old house. The lighting inside was dim, and a voice echoed through the room.

"What would you all like to exchange for?"

An energy projection in the form of a white-bearded old man appeared and spoke to Luo Feng and the others.

"Master Wu, I want to exchange for an Inheritance Crystal Sphere."

Luo Feng took out the enormous quantity of Thunder Stones from his Space Ring and spoke to the energy projection.

"What?! How did you excavate them so quickly? Just how many intelligent robots did you bring in?"

Master Wu's incredulous voice echoed through the old house for a long time.
