Half a day passed quickly, and Yang Yu's progress in learning and understanding the Thunder Soul Refining Technique made a barely perceptible step forward.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning!"

Having exited the Consciousness Space, Yang Yu could only console himself with this thought, "I believe that as my understanding of this Secret Technique deepens, my progress should pick up."

Looking up at the scene outside the stone house, Yang Yu realized that night had unknowingly covered the entire earth.

Looking at the time, it was already midnight.

"Cultivation truly knows no bounds of time."

Yang Yu sighed, then took out a piece of Muya Crystal that emitted a rich rice aroma and popped it into his mouth.

"Begin energy accumulation!"

In the path of cultivation, realm is important, but the foundation is also very important!

Since I haven't joined a major power yet, I naturally can't enjoy the privilege of using Nutrient Pod to directly raise my level to the Planetary Level Nine.

Therefore, the cultivation of energy should not be neglected.

Eat Muya Crystal directly.

Even with Yang Yu's powerful physique, which has undergone two transformations, he felt an extremely rich life energy explode directly in his dantian!

Under Yang Yu's deliberate guidance, half of the energy was refined and absorbed by the Thunder Original Force.

The other half was absorbed by the Thunder Spiritual Force!

And so, the night passed.

Refining energy is a simple but tedious process.

Yang Yu only needed to allocate half of his consciousness to proceed.

After resting for a while, Yang Yu connected his remaining half of consciousness to the Optical Brain and began learning the Universal Language.

Waiting for the sunrise.

Yang Yu also ended a fulfilling day.

After a night of refining.

Yang Yu has absorbed less than one-tenth of the immense energy contained in the Muya Crystal using his Origin Energy and Mental Force. The remaining energy is still dormant in his dantian and Consciousness Sea, waiting for the next round of refinement and absorption.

Yang Yu wasn't in a hurry to accumulate energy; he could do it during his evenings when he was resting and studying the Universal Language and common knowledge about the vast universe.

As for daytime...

Of course, the most important things are to comprehend the Origin Law and domains, practice and master the Thunder Blade, and learn the Thunder Soul Refining Technique.

I got up and stretched in the morning sun, then checked my Optical Brain for messages and the latest news.

Yang Yu sat down cross-legged again, his consciousness entering the Origin Law Ocean.

Carefully study the Lightning Origin Law.

Thanks to the blessing of the Thunder Body, Yang Yu now feels like he has become the darling of the Lightning Law. Every time he immerses himself in the Origin Law Ocean, he gains a lot and can feel that he has made significant progress in his understanding of the Origin Law!

Even though Yang Yu was initially very confident in his talent, he was still shocked by such cultivation efficiency.

When his mental energy was nearly depleted, Yang Yu's consciousness withdrew from the Origin Law Ocean.

Yang Yu's soul is currently only at the Planetary Level, Soul Power is insufficient to sustain Yang Yu consciousness in the Origin Law Ocean for long.

Therefore, although progress is obvious, the time that can be spent immersing oneself in the laws and comprehending them is still limited due to the inherent strength of the soul.

After meditating to restore his energy, Yang Yu carefully contemplated the Lightning Comprehension he had just gained. He then released his domain once more, studying it while simultaneously integrating his insights into it.

This not only solidifies one's understanding of the principles, but also rapidly enhances one's control and comprehension of the field.

The two can perfectly complement each other and enhance one another.

At this moment, Purple Lightning domain with a radius of eight hundred meters reappeared around Yang Yu. Under Yang Yu's deliberate control, wisps of Leidian appeared and disappeared.

These Leidian are gradually becoming more obedient and can appear or disappear according to Yang Yu's wishes.

However, we cannot achieve further control at this time.

Yang Yu knew this was because his understanding of the Origin Law was not profound enough, and his control over the domain was not yet proficient enough.

After finishing their cultivation in the domain, it was noon again.

After resting briefly and absorbing the energy of the Muya Crystal in his dantian to invigorate his spirit, Yang Yu took out the Thunder Blade and began his research.

As for the Thunder Soul Refining Technique, Yang Yu planned to learn it after he finished practicing the Thunder Blade.

Yang Yu has now mastered the first level of the Thunder Blade First Form. Now that his Spirit Reader has broken through to the Planetary Level, his soul strength, consciousness strength, and comprehension have all improved once again.

Moreover, the Psychic Amplitude reached 32, and he even crossed the threshold of the Origin Law, thus Domain Realm.

This allowed Yang Yu to master the Thunder Blade First Form Second Layer in less than an afternoon!

After all, the learning requirement for the second level is only Psychic Amplitude of 24, which Yang Yu has long exceeded. With the aid of his cultivation level, it is normal for him to have made this progress.

Having fully mastered it, Yang Yu controlled the Thunder Blade to restore it to its complete form.

He then grasped the Thunder Blade and infused it with the Thunder Original Force.

Moment.

A stream of extremely pure Thunder Original Force flowed into the Thunder Blade without any obstruction. As the Thunder Blade trembled violently, its blade lit up with dazzling Purple Lightning!

With a single swing of the sword.

A bright purple streak flashed across the valley and struck the cliff where it had been standing.

"Splash!"

The blade struck the cliff hundreds of meters high, creating a deep ravine, and a large amount of sand and rocks tumbled down.

"The power is decent."

Yang Yu was satisfied to see that the Thunder Blade had such power simply by infusing it with pure Thunder Original Force.

Then, Yang Yu focused his mind, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he unleashed all his insights into the Lightning Origin Law Yang Yu the 'Thunder Blade Technique'.

In an instant.

A bolt of lightning, countless times brighter than before, suddenly appeared!

As lightning streaked across the sky.

The cliff in front was instantly and completely pierced through!

The mountain, thousands of meters thick, appeared incredibly fragile under this attack, which contained a trace of Origin Law.

Looking at the cliff that had been completely pierced, Yang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Indeed, the law is the right path!"

The Thunder Original Force just the Planetary Level One, combined with the Origin Law, is enough to rival the destructive power of an ordinary Star Level 1 Martial Artist as recorded in the video on the quantum Optical Brain!

That's a leap of a whole major level!

Yang Yu's martial prowess has undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of what it is today.

There are no rivals left.

The so-called Planetary Level Monsters had no chance to dodge this strike.

Not to mention, Yang Yu can also break the Thunder Blade in half to form a blade array.

He simultaneously controlled the sword formation attack and fought with his own sword.

The Martial Artist and the Spirit Reader have completely merged!

Yang Yu, having unleashed his full power, is likely already capable of fighting against Star Level Strong Expert Competition.

"That's insane!"

While still searching for the location of the ruins, Babata was distracted by Yang Yu's attack and could only sigh silently, while mentally berating himself for his laziness.

"Find a suitable spaceship as soon as possible. This kid's talent is absolutely monstrous. Staying on Earth is a waste of his time. We must make contact with space as soon as possible and then find an opportunity to have him join a truly powerful force!"

Seeing how hard Yang Yu was working, Babata became even more diligent.

After testing his current Combat Power, Yang Yu controlled the power and continued practicing the Thunder Blade Technique.

Having crossed the threshold of the Lightning Origin Law, Yang Yu had a general idea for further improvements to the Thunder Blade Technique.

In order to better unleash the power of the laws, Yang Yu wielded his War Blade while pondering.

As night once again enveloped the earth.

Yang Yu stopped swinging his sword.

After several hours of in-depth practice and reflection, Yang Yu had a general idea of the future direction of the Thunder Blade Technique.

However, Yang Yu's understanding of the Lightning Origin Law is still very shallow. When his understanding is deep enough, Yang Yu will upgrade and update the Thunder Blade Technique in order to fully unleash, or even exceed, the power of the law!

This is also the significance of Blade Technique.

Using Blade Technique to interpret the laws!

It's not just about embodying the laws, but about striving to transcend them.

They pursue ultimate lethality, and in the process, they forge their own path.

This is also the difference between Martial Artist and Spirit Reader.

Martial Artist pursue the most direct manifestation of the laws; the Mental Master Controller is based on the laws and uses various Mental Force weapons to exert the ultimate attack power; the Illusion School focuses on one's own soul consciousness and will to form powerful Soul Attack and Illusion Realm, which is another application of the laws.

This was also what Yang Yu learned from his Optical Brain.

Both paths, or even all three paths, have their own advantages and disadvantages.

You can choose to focus on one path, or you can choose both!

It depends on the individual practitioner's specific circumstances.

For Yang Yu, the best choice is to combine Martial Artist with the Illusion School, and then use Spiritual Weapon to maximize his talent and Combat Power.

However, what frustrated Yang Yu was that none of the Secret Technique discovered so far in the Thunder Inheritance were specific Combat Secret Technique; they were all Secret Technique to enhance the Successor's foundation, talent, comprehension, Will Strength.

They don't focus on direct combat.

This might also be something the mysterious person did intentionally.

After all, once one reaches a certain level and possesses sufficient talent and comprehension, Self-Created Secret Technique is the true path to enlightenment.

Leaving Secret Technique behind from the outset will only be misleading.

Since that's the case, it's better not to keep it at all.

Once the Successor understand this principle, they will be able to make their own choices based on their own circumstances when they encounter ready-made Combat Secret Technique, rather than blindly copying them wholesale.

Having grasped this point, Yang Yu suddenly understood the mysterious expert's intention: perhaps direct Combat Secret Technique would never appear in the Inheritance Palace again.

All of this requires Yang Yu to acquire and create it himself!

Having realized this, Yang Yu stopped having expectations of the outside world and instead focused his attention on himself.

"Walk your own path!"

Although it is only at the Planetary Level, it has already comprehended the Lightning Origin Law, which gives it the right to chart its own path!

Although it was a bit early, Yang Yu, as a transmigrator, knew that other people's paths were always their own, and only by forging one's own unique path could one become a true powerhouse.

Of course, this does not mean that the Secret Technique created by others are useless; these Secret Technique still have great reference value.

The premise is to ensure the purity of one's own path!

Absorb external nutrients to strengthen yourself and pave the way to becoming a strong person!

Yang Yu's pursuit is not just to dominate the Primal Universe and roam the Universe Ocean; he also wants to transcend!

Even after going to the Origin Continent, I want to become a powerful figure there!

They could even traverse through various Source World, until they became the supreme being!

Surpassing the mysterious powerhouse who left behind the Thunder Inheritance.

To achieve this, you must be on the right path from the very beginning.

Even a slight deviation can lead to a complete deviation in the end.

However, as mentioned before, Yang Yu's current resources are not sufficient to take this step.

Fortunately, we now have a direction; all we have to do is keep practicing.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!"

With a clear goal and Inheritance Guidance, all that's left is to strive and work hard!

Cultivation knows no days or months.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Yang Yu finished his study of the Thunder Soul Refining Technique as usual.

However, at this moment, a rare relaxed smile appeared on Yang Yu's lips, "Ten whole days! I've finally mastered the basics of the Thunder Soul Refining Technique!"

It's no wonder Yang Yu was so excited; Yang Yu mastered the relatively complex Universal Language in just a few hours.

However, the Thunder Soul Refining Technique only started to accelerate on the sixth day.

Only after finishing the course today have I finally grasped the basics.

In the illusory Consciousness Space.

Countless mysterious characters before Yang Yu's eyes began to detach from the <Thunder Inheritance General Outline>, then flew and swirled in the air, finally transforming into a bright point of light that sank directly into the 'between the eyebrows' of Yang Yu's consciousness.

"It's done!"

I felt the point of light completely merge with my soul, and then it disappeared into the depths of my consciousness.

Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but then a sharp pain swept over his entire soul.

"Hiss~"

The intense pain caused Yang Yu, who was originally sitting cross-legged, to curl up on the ground, with large beads of sweat constantly pouring from his entire body.

After a long while.

The sudden pain subsided only when the 'spot of light' became completely integrated with consciousness and slowly rotated within the mysterious depths of Consciousness Space.

"That's amazing."

Once he returned to normal, Yang Yu focused his mind on observing the rotating point of light existing in his Consciousness Space.

As the point of light rotated, Yang Yu felt his ethereal will begin to converge from all directions and start rotating along the point of light.

After exiting the Consciousness Space, Yang Yu quietly assessed his physical condition and discovered that the appearance of this point of light had no effect on his body or even his Consciousness Sea.

After the point of light in the Consciousness Space absorbed all of Yang Yu's will, Yang Yu felt a sudden jolt in his soul.

Then, things returned to normal. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that a faint, ethereal 'lightning' had appeared around the light spot that had condensed all his will.

Each time these 'lightning bolts' rotate around the point of light, they grow slightly larger.

"What a magical feeling! It seems that my Mental Will is gradually becoming stronger as I spin, and the 'lightning' manifested by my will is also growing larger."

Seeing this scene, which was beyond his comprehension, even Yang Yu, who had read the Original Work thoroughly in his previous life, couldn't help but marvel.

"Refine the spirit, refine the spirit."

"It seems to be centered around a point of light, constantly rotating and tempering Mental Will."

After observing quietly for a long time, Yang Yu couldn't figure it out and could only guess.

This tradition doesn't explicitly state what the signs of mastering it are; perhaps it requires personal exploration.

However, since his body and mind had experienced extreme pain and there were no further abnormalities, Yang Yu put aside his concerns.

"A passive Will Secret Technique?" That was the only way Yang Yu could summarize it.

Such passive inheritance will not show any effect in the short term; it may take a long time before any signs of it become apparent.

After confirming that there were no problems, Yang Yu stopped worrying about it and exited the Consciousness Space to arrive at the Inheritance Palace in the illusory memory.

"Besides the <Thunder Inheritance General Outline>, there are still many places in this Inheritance Palace that I haven't explored yet. I wonder if there will be any new surprises." With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu began to walk deeper into the palace.

Because Yang Yu's soul and consciousness had become much stronger, the originally dark corridor deep inside the palace had become somewhat 'brighter'.

It seems this is related to Yang Yu's soul strength; the stronger the soul, the more content he can 'browse'.

We arrived at the corridor.

Yang Yu noticed a bookshelf placed there.

The book displayed in the very center of the bookshelf had the title "Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower" prominently displayed on its cover!

As soon as his will came into contact with the book, a vast amount of information instantly flooded into Yang Yu's consciousness.

"This is Soul Secret Technique, possessing the miraculous effect of protecting and guarding the soul."

The specific cultivation method is as follows:

Take a moment to reflect on it quietly.

Yang Yu discovered that learning this secret technique was not as difficult as the previous Thunder Soul Refining Technique, but it still required some effort.

After memorizing all the Secret Technique, Yang Yu found that his consciousness could no longer penetrate the corridor, so he withdrew from the Inheritance Palace.

"Soul Defense Secret Technique"

After silently reciting it in his mind Yang Yu closed his eyes and quietly deduced and learned this secret technique in his mind.

With in-depth learning.

Yang Yu discovered that this secret technique was also intricately related to the Thunder Soul Refining Technique.

After constructing the 'Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower' in the Consciousness Space using refined Soul Power, the Thunder Soul Refining Technique, which has been transformed into points of light, needs to be 'moved' into the tower to guard it.

At the same time, Yang Yu's manifested will acts as the 'commander,' and when he is Soul Attack or falls into the Illusion Realm, he uses a secret technique to shroud and protect his entire soul with an illusory Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower.

Guided by willpower and aided by mysterious defensive techniques, once this tower is completed, its defensive capabilities will be unmatched among its peers.

Furthermore, the stronger one's willpower, the stronger one's defense!

In other words, even a World Lord, if his will is as strong as that of Universe Venerable, can theoretically resist Illusion Realm at the Universe Venerable level!

Of course, such abnormal beings are extremely rare, but there are still quite a few World Lord with the Will Strength of King Level.

Furthermore, as the Thunder Soul Refining Technique continuously hones and enhances one's will, the defensive capabilities of the Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower will also continuously improve!

After learning this, Yang Yu couldn't help but marvel at the profound intentions of the mysterious person who left behind this legacy.

The Soul Devour Secret Technique can enhance the strength of one's soul consciousness and comprehension.

An increased soul strength can also boost Will Strength.

The enhanced Will Strength can further improve the effect of the Thunder Soul Refining Technique in tempering willpower.

Improving one's willpower will enhance the Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower's defensive capabilities.

A strong Soul Defense increases the success rate of the Soul Devour Secret Technique, thereby continuously improving soul strength and comprehension, and ultimately enhancing overall power.

This creates a perfect cycle.

"What a perfect legacy!"

"And this is only at the Planetary Level, yet the three Secret Technique I've obtained already have such miraculous effects. What kind of amazing Secret Technique will I be able to unlock at the Star Level, Universe Level, and so on?"

After a moment of reflection, Yang Yu immediately focused all his attention on the first step in constructing the Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower: refining the Soul Power!

That is, refining the Thunder Spiritual Force within the Consciousness Sea.

Following the instructions in the Secret Technique, Yang Yu began his long journey of refinement.

To construct Soul Suppressing Tower that encompasses the entire soul, an immense amount of Soul Power is required.

Each strand of this Soul Power needs to be refined.

As Yang Yu refined his Soul Power according to the Secret Technique, he also gained a deeper understanding of his own soul.

Finally, the night passed.

With the help of Secret Technique, Yang Yu refined his Mental Force, meeting the requirements for constructing the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Yang Yu then began to construct the Soul Power -Soul Suppressing Tower by following the Secret Technique's guidance and using the 'Spirit Refining Technique Light Spot' in his consciousness as the core.

This process is somewhat similar to building houses or towers in the real world. Fortunately, with the detailed guidance of the Secret Technique, it was not too difficult for Yang Yu to complete. After half a day, Yang Yu completed the construction of the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Feeling his soul completely enveloped in the illusory tower, Yang Yu felt a sense of peace.

The soul, as the foundation of most living beings, is undoubtedly extremely important, far more important than the body.

After all, there are many treasures in the universe that can restore the body, and they are very effective.

But once the soul is damaged, it is difficult to recover.

Furthermore, according to the Secret Technique of the Thunder Soul-Suppressing Tower, once the tower is constructed for the first time, it will continue to improve as the Successor's soul evolves, without needing to be reconstructed after each soul transformation. This is a Secret Technique that solves the problem once and for all.

The only thing to be concerned about is that the defensive power of this Secret Technique is directly linked to the Will Strength.

But the perfection of this lineage lies in the fact that the various Secret Technique that have emerged can enhance and complement each other.

After sensing the complete success of the Soul Suppressing Tower, Yang Yu opened his eyes, a hint of fatigue still visible.

Having devoted an entire night and half a day to the extremely intricate construction of his soul, even Yang Yu felt a bit tired.

Drawing upon the remaining energy of the Muya Crystal in his dantian and Consciousness Sea, Yang Yu absorbed the energy to restore his strength.

One hour later.

After refining and absorbing the energy of a Muya Crystal, Yang Yu recovered all his energy and took out another Muya Crystal to eat.

Yang Yu felt that once this Muya Crystal was refined, it would be close to advancing to the Planetary Level Two.

In twenty days, both the Martial Artist and the Spirit Reader were promoted to the next level.

This speed isn't fast, but it's the optimal time without affecting skill advancement and the learning of Secret Technique.

Moreover, given Yang Yu's current Law Comprehension, there isn't much difference Planetary Level One. After all, accumulating energy is not difficult; what's difficult is improving one's realm.

I leaped over the valley and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

Yang Yu looked around the valley, which now appeared quiet and mysterious.

The reason there are no Monsters around now is because Yang Yu cleared the area again a few days ago and went to a distant place to hunt down a Senior Lord Level- level Earth Dragon King, hanging its head outside the valley. Since that day, the valley has become extremely quiet.

As the year 2016 arrived, the Lord-level Monster surrounding Huaxia Base City had been thoroughly cleared out by Yang Yu, and no hostile Lord Monster had been found in the area.

After all, these Lord Monsters are quite intelligent. With such a vast territory Huaxia, there's no need for them to fight to the death with humans, all for the sake of such a small piece of land.

As a result, the Lord Monster on the land of Huaxia have now tacitly focused their battles on the wilderness, vying for territory in the no-man's-land.

So the situation in Huaxia is pretty good right now. Apart from a small group of low-level Monsters causing trouble for the Base City, there's basically nothing to worry about.

In this relatively peaceful environment, the people of the major Base City felt a long-lost sense of security, but their motivation to cultivate did not diminish.

After all, satellite footage shows an increasing variety and number of Monsters in the wilderness, with powerful Monsters appearing one after another.
