The Secret Pattern Diagram School
"Is this the Inheritance Land the Secret Pattern are passed down?" Lu Yan'an looked around. "Could this be the true face of their Secret Abyss?"
"Wrong!"
"The speed of time flow!" Lu Yan'an's face showed shock.
He was exceptionally sensitive to fluctuations in the Law of Time, and immediately realized the enormous difference between the "flow of time" in his current spacetime and that of his previous spacetime.
The difference was so great that it shocked Lu Yan'an.
In the Original Universe, it was only one second, but in the world where Lu Yan'an was located, it was a full 100.81 seconds! That is to say, the ratio of time flow rate reached an exaggerated 1:100.81.
"How is this possible? The time flow rate is so exaggerated!" Lu Yan'an couldn't believe it. "That means that if you spend a hundred years here, only one year will have passed in the Original Universe! Even the 'Time Palace' that our Human Race can purchase can only speed up the flow of time by a few times or dozens of times."
Treasures like the Time Palace can generally only be created by a "Universe Master" who has fully comprehended the Space-Time Law.
The Time Palace that was created was essentially a cultivation ground, only with a faster flow of time. Ten years of cultivation inside might only amount to a month outside. However, according to what Lu Yan'an knew... the Time Palace was extremely expensive, typically accelerating time tenfold or even a hundredfold, but this was a service that could only be enjoyed after paying a huge price.
Time Acceleration of hundreds of times—this level of time adjustment requires an enormous amount of resources even in the Time Palace. Moreover, even if ordinary people possess the resources needed to consume the Time Palace, they are not qualified to enjoy Time Palace services; background, talent, and strength are all indispensable!
Lu Yan'an looked around and saw that the statues in the distance suddenly shone brightly, and even some parts of the plains in the distance emitted light. In other areas further away, light soared into the sky. Some of the statues, the ground, and the rock walls of the distant mountains were marked with Law Secret Pattern and secret techniques.
It contains all sorts of Divine Body Amplitude Secret Technique, Soul Amplitude Secret Technique, Combat Secret Technique, melee techniques, Soul Attack techniques, and Spiritual Force weapon techniques... with varying degrees of power. At a glance, one can tell that this Secret Abyss was built by the natives of the Yuanming Continent with endless effort in cultivating their offspring.
"My main purpose in coming here is to inherit the Secret Pattern system, but where should I focus my efforts?"
Lu Yan'an quickly descended, landing beside a lake in the vast forest below. He sat cross-legged silently, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
His heart gradually calmed down completely, and after a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Returning to the essence, the interpretation of the Secret Pattern system is actually an interpretation of the operation of the Universe Origin Law. Therefore, the focus here is definitely not on those secret techniques."
He soared into the air in a flash, transforming into a streak of Flowing Light, and swiftly flew towards the nearest strange beast statue.
"These sculptures must be the key to the inheritance of the Secret Pattern!"
Different mythical beast statues interpret different laws. After searching carefully for a long time, Lu Yan'an finally found a lineage suitable for his cultivation among the many mythical beast statues.
Call.
Lu Yan'an landed in front of a majestic statue of a strange beast. The huge unicorn lizard's thick four hooves were tearing the ground with its right forepaw, and its long tail was swaying slightly, curved in mid-air. The entire statue was covered with complex Secret Pattern that grew more and more fascinating the more you looked at it.
A new texture.
This also gave the entire sculpture a peaceful and tranquil feel. It seemed as if the mythical beast was taking a leisurely stroll, its hooves casually scratching the ground.
"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an looked up, puzzled. "I clearly feel that this is the embodiment of law, but why are the patterns on the scales different?"
After studying it for a long time, Lu Yan'an felt increasingly unable to understand it.
"So that's why there are so many secret techniques and arts here? Specifically to ensure that those who have failed to comprehend the strange beast statues don't leave empty-handed?" Lu Yan'an was shocked by his own bold guess. Combining the numerous secret techniques and arts on site with these incomprehensible strange beast statues, this seemed to be the only explanation.
Whoosh!
Lu Yan'an soared into the air, flying towards another beast statue that interpreted the same laws. After all, among the many beast statues present, he could only understand this one that interpreted the Law of Time. Although the level of laws they displayed was not too profound, it could at least serve as a reference for explanation.
The other strange beast statue also immediately struck Lu Yan'an as an embodiment of law, but that beast exuded an incomparably terrifying ferocity, as if it wanted to attack. The patterns on its scales were different once again.
One after another, there were statues of strange beasts, each one different, displaying various states such as anger, tranquility, joy, madness, determination, and roaring... The scale patterns of the beasts varied depending on their state. Moreover, some of the beasts attacked with claws, some with tails, some with horns... It seemed that any part of their entire bodies could be used for attack.
After examining the beasts that aligned with his understanding of the laws, Lu Yan'an looked at the others. The Law Essence these beasts interpreted weren't particularly profound; they were all at a level that ordinary immortals could comprehend. But strangely, even with these simple and easy-to-understand interpretations of the laws, Lu Yan'an found that he couldn't grasp their underlying logic at all.
But on this desolate land, on ancient trees, on rock walls, at the peaks of mountains, at the bottom of lakes... everywhere are the interpretations and carvings of various secret techniques by the ancestors of the Yuanming Continent on the statues of various strange beasts. When you approach these places, you can feel the pressure emanating from these carvings! Some are purely Secret Pattern, while others are detailed introductions to laws and secret techniques.
Of course, Lu Yan'an completely looked down on these secret techniques and methods. As someone who possessed the inheritance of the Heart Sword Emperor, let alone Immortal Level secret techniques and insights, he could remain completely unmoved even by secret techniques at the level of Universe Master.
Lu Yan'an spent anywhere from a year to eight years comprehending the eight mythical beast statues that interpreted the Law of Light and Time Law. As for the other mythical beast statues, the time he spent comprehending them was much shorter, since his understanding of other laws was still quite shallow.
The 64 mythical beast statues took a full 10 years to complete.
The more I look at it, the more... perfect it seems!
"Eight sculptures of mythical beasts representing time." After viewing the eight sculptures of mythical beasts from his own school, Lu Yan'an felt that he was familiar with all kinds of situations related to the mythical beasts, such as anger, joy, calmness, roaring, and madness. Even with his eyes closed, he felt as if he had personally seen the lifelike postures of those mythical beasts.
"Even the absence of one statue would make it feel incomplete," Lu Yan'an nodded to himself.
Actually, just looking at the 64 statues...
Anyone with a strong aura would sense that the 64 statues are one! The Secret Pattern representing the ultimate principles of the universe on the 64 statues seem to be able to combine and form a unified whole... which could completely constitute a super ultimate technique!
"How come the laws interpreted by these strange beast images are so similar to the naturally engraved Law Secret Pattern on my Original Core?" Lu Yan'an exclaimed in amazement, while his consciousness began to carefully compare and study the Law Secret Pattern on his Original Core.
This comparison was significant. Lu Yan'an suddenly discovered that the Law Secret Pattern interpreted by these monstrous beast statues were exactly the same as the Law Secret Pattern on his own Original Core. A massive Law Secret Pattern Diagram... This was what Lu Yan'an had deciphered from the Law Secret Pattern on his Original Core based on the monstrous beast statues!
He didn't understand it at all, and it was the first time he had ever seen this Law Secret Pattern Diagram in person!
This Law Secret Pattern Diagram is elliptical in shape, composed of countless interwoven and intersecting law threads, extremely complex. This set of Law Secret Pattern Diagram... is an interpretation of the law Secret Pattern on Lu Yan'an's Original Core. At the same time, it is also the true meaning that the eight strange beast statues in front of Lu Yan'an need to convey.
In the true universe, energy is cyclical and should never be consumed; this may be the principle described by the Secret Pattern School.
However, Lu Yan'an's energy was constantly being consumed. Clearly, this set of "Law Secret Pattern Diagram" should be an extremely simplified initial Secret Pattern Diagram of the true operating rules of the entire Primal Universe. Even so, it had already left Lu Yan'an speechless.
"So this is the Secret Pattern Diagram School...?" Lu Yan'an was completely stunned by the Secret Pattern Diagram.
This Secret Pattern Diagram possesses a breathtaking beauty.
It is more awe-inspiring than any Ultimate secret technique, and even more beautiful than the Universe Origin Law flowing over the 64 statues on site!
