Swallowing the Stars: I Have No Cheat Codes

Chapter 36 Creation of Secret Techniques

Chapter 36 Arcane Creation (1)

Every building in Chaos City may have been inhabited by powerful individuals. When they cultivated, they might have had a flash of inspiration and casually recorded it on the wall. This represents their understanding of certain laws, which is extremely valuable to those who come after them.

Venerable Xingye reminded him that there was a nice little building in the West District, which could be considered as helping him take a shortcut.

"Although my third senior brother didn't say it explicitly, there are only three unclaimed buildings in the entire western district, located near the city lord's mansion." Lu Xing stopped at one of the small buildings.

"This should be it." Lu Xing placed his hand on the door, and the building's sensor system automatically activated. Soon, the door's color deepened, indicating that it had an owner.

Upon stepping onto the cultivation platform, countless scratches came into view, which Lu Xing recognized as knife marks.

"really!"

Lu Xing gently stroked the knife mark, still able to feel the artistic conception it contained.

Of the three small buildings, only this one was more fitting. Lu Xing sensed a hint of the sharpness of the person wielding the knife, and indeed, that was the case.

Sitting cross-legged, he could sense that the previous owner of this rooftop must have been an extremely powerful King, as the laws emanating from the sword marks were very similar to his own.

He neither surpassed nor fell behind. The fact that a king with similar insights had created a secret technique on the rooftop would have been of immense help to him in creating his own secret technique.

Lu Xing sat cross-legged on the rooftop, radiating the power of the world to carefully comprehend the insights left behind by the king, while also verifying his own ideas in the virtual universe.

He didn't try to cross the Heavenly Bridge, nor did he try to comprehend the Chaos Stele. Since he wasn't in a hurry to break through to immortality, turning his insights into strength was the most important thing.

Moreover, the deeper one's understanding of the laws, the more difficult it becomes to fulfill the requirements of the Lord of Purgatory.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the day came for Venerable Xingye to guide him.

In the virtual universe...

"Senior brother, over here..."

"This…"

"I see!"

Lu Xing asked all the questions that he had kept to himself for ten years at this moment, and Venerable Xingye patiently answered them one by one.

Although Venerable Xingye ranked third among his many disciples, he was still a high-level Venerable. With his insights accumulated over countless years, coupled with the vision of the Universe Venerable, he was more than capable of guiding Lu Xing and easily made Lu Xing's thoughts clear.

The lecture lasted for two whole days.

"Incredible!" Lu Xing exclaimed. "A problem that has puzzled me for hundreds of years is so simple in front of the Venerable One. It seems my chances of completing the mission are very high!"

"Let's continue!"

Lu Xing remained seated cross-legged on the rooftop, like a motionless sculpture.

As time went by, under the repeated guidance of Venerable Xingye, Lu Xing made tremendous progress.

……

"Teacher." Venerable Xingye bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." The Lord of Purgatory nodded slightly. "How's the progress of his secret technique creation?"

After all, Lu Xing has a sliver of hope of breaking through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, so even if his secret techniques are ineffective, he is still worthy of attention.

"Junior Brother's talent is nothing short of monstrous. He will never make the same mistake twice, and with just a little guidance, he can quickly come up with a solution," Venerable Xingye said with a slight smile.

"Oh?" The Lord of Purgatory was somewhat surprised.

"I'm afraid that within a thousand years, he will be able to fully transform his understanding of the laws into strength, and it won't be too difficult for him to deduce them to the top level at that time," Venerable Xingye continued.

"Hahaha, I've managed to snatch a piece of uncut jade," the Lord of Purgatory laughed.

Lu Xing first joined the Virtual Universe Company, where he held the title of butler. Logically, people from the Virtual Universe Company should have priority.

However, Lu Xing purchased "Purgatory Body" and had an exceptionally high level of comprehension in this area, which naturally attracted the attention of the Lord of Purgatory, ultimately leading to his arrival in Chaos City.

No matter how strong Lu Xing is, he only has a sliver of hope. There will be no problem if the Lord of Purgatory comes in person.

Time passed slowly, and Lu Xing had not consulted Venerable Xingye for a hundred years. At this moment, he was in a state of sudden enlightenment, his thoughts completely immersed in it.

At the same time, the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly sharp.

suddenly.

Lu Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and with a thought, the battle sword appeared in his hand. He immediately began to wield it on the rooftop. The sword light flashed continuously, and a groove appeared on the wall. However, upon closer inspection, the groove was filled with countless tiny sword marks.

"It's done!" Lu Xing exclaimed excitedly.

"In less than a thousand years, I have completely integrated my own laws into the Fire God Slash. Now it not only has a high burst of power, but also the ever-changing feeling of space, making it very difficult for opponents to completely resist."

"It's time to go see the teacher."

The Lord of Purgatory later said that he went to see him when he created the prototype of the secret technique. He knew that this was to set up a special opponent for him to hone the secret technique.

Within the virtual universe, Lu Xing was teleported to an abyss-like space.

Above the abyss hangs a temple ten thousand meters high, which is the residence of the Lord of Purgatory.

"Teacher," Lu Xing said respectfully.

The secret technique created over a thousand years is inseparable from the repeated guidance of Venerable Xingye, and the source is the Lord of Purgatory. Lu Xing now has a deep respect for him.

"Hmm." A figure appeared on the throne above the palace and then spoke, "Your swordsmanship has reached the beginner level. From today onwards, I will arrange some special opponents for you. They will target your weaknesses, and I hope that through fighting them, you can achieve something."

"Yes, teacher." Lu Xing nodded quickly.

"Go." The voice came again from the figure.

At the same time, Lu Xing's figure vanished into thin air within the palace.

"In just a thousand years, he has actually comprehended the rudimentary form of the secret technique. Such comprehension... and extremely high talent in the laws. If this continues, he will soon surpass them." The Lord of Purgatory smiled slightly, clearly very satisfied with him.

"What treasure should we bestow upon him...? This will do!"

"This way, it won't be abandoned halfway through."

……

After becoming a disciple of the Lord of Purgatory, Lu Xing's training ground, with its fixed size, was like a vast starry sky, a killing field where he could freely unleash his full power.

Lu Xing stood in the void, clad in battle armor and wielding a battle sword.

"Come on." A pair of eyes looked towards the distant starry sky, and suddenly, a blurry shadow gradually condensed, revealing a rock creature thousands of meters tall.

"Boom!"

An aura unique to immortality erupted forth, his hands gripping two large hammers tightly, intricate runes of laws etched upon them, radiating a terrifying aura.

Since physical attributes are fixed in the virtual universe, the only way to unleash greater power is to perfect secret techniques. Therefore, his opponent had not reached the Marquis level and was about the same strength as Lu Xing.

"Come on!" Lu Xing's body began to swirl with the aura of laws, and he charged forward at an extremely fast speed.

The first battle begins!
