Chapter 467 The Deal with the Artifact Spirit: Piecing Together the Great Dao!
Chen Yuan blinked: "In that case, with hundreds of millions of small worlds combined, the amount of these materials should be quite large."
""
"Hmm, let's go take a look."
After all, even the smallest world has a diameter of no less than one light-year!
According to Congshan, they had a premonition that they would have to stay in the cosmic sea for a very long time, considering the difference in the flow of time.
Therefore, the materials in each small world inside the Creation Cauldron are piled up to the brim, in order to ensure that the Creation Cauldron can operate for a long time.
Of course, due to the complete annihilation of the Holy Weapon Sect, the Creation Cauldron has been stagnant for many years, and the materials prepared in advance have not been used at all, piling up for countless reincarnations.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan didn't care about anything else for the time being, and immediately tore open a spatial gate and came to an ordinary small world.
It was dark and very crowded.
This was Chen Yuan's first impression upon entering. He was in a narrow crevice, barely wide enough for one person to stand in, with neatly stacked timber on both sides.
The timber was piled up on both sides, forming two high mountains that stretched as far as the eye could see, leaving him sandwiched between them.
"Indeed, quite a lot."
A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. He couldn't wait to touch the wood next to him. Sure enough, it also contained information about the material.
[Ronghua Wood: A low-grade wood material, suitable as a main material for True God-level treasures, and appropriate for use by True Gods.]
[This material was contributed by Ronghua Tribe, totaling 1000 contributions.]
【Soul-Sorrowful Willow: A superior wood-attribute material containing a trace of soul power, suitable for crafting True God-level soul-type treasures.】
[This material was contributed by: Soul Willow Tribe, totaling 5000 contribution points.]
The material on the left feels warm to the touch and is called Ronghua Wood, while the material on the right feels quite cool and is called Soul-Sorrow Willow.
"These materials—" Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Although they're just ordinary wood in the records of the Holy Weapon Sect, they're incredibly rare here in the Cosmic Sea!"
He didn't even need the Primordial Eye to analyze them; he clearly knew the essence of these materials—they were all the main materials of supreme treasures!
Furthermore, these materials do not require special refining; they inherently possess considerable power.
Even if the Lord of the Universe were to use it directly, it would unleash power approaching that of the most powerful treasures!
This treasure also has a special name in the Cosmic Sea.
Strange object!
Wow, a huge wholesale market for unusual items!
Chen Yuan's figure soared into the air, instantly arriving at the top of the two material mountains. He silently calculated and discovered that the height of these materials stacked together was at least trillions of kilometers!
That's one-ninth of a light-year!
Looking around, there are similar materials everywhere.
Only at the very center of the world stood a colossal purple-gold cauldron, its height no less than that of these materials. This cauldron was the core of this small world, a spurious manifestation of the Purple-Gold Creation Cauldron.
The reason why the 100 million small worlds are able to autonomously refine secret treasures is because of these Creation Cauldron clones.
However, Chen Yuan had no time to visit the Creation Cauldron here. Anyway, there were such things in every small world. He had seen many of them in the 25 treasure spaces before.
What attracts his attention now is the world's many strange and wonderful materials!
"So many strange things—"
Just thinking about the energy these materials represented made Chen Yuan swallow hard.
Although the energy contained in a single strange object is negligible, the sheer number of them is overwhelming, filling an entire world!
"Even if a single rare item isn't valuable, a mountain of materials combined would be worth at least several million Origins of the Great Dao."
"And all the wonders in the world combined would probably be worth hundreds of millions."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan took a deep breath.
Although one hundred million Origins of the Great Dao may not seem like much, it's important to know that when he carried out the Eternal Peak-level optimization mission, he only consumed one million units of energy!
Not to mention, this is just a reserve for one of the smaller worlds.
There are hundreds of millions of such small worlds within the Creation Cauldron!
One hundred million multiplied by one hundred million equals one hundred trillion sources of the Great Dao, or one trillion trillion.
"To perfect the seventh level of the Primordial Hand, it only requires 50 trillion."
Chen Yuan blinked: "I never thought that this request, which seemed incredibly difficult to me back then, could be accomplished so easily now."
It's important to understand that even though the Tower of Primordial Chaos has expanded to encompass fifteen universes, its total revenue over an entire era is only a little over 700 billion.
The main reason is that the business in those other universes is not like that in their home, which connects all life in the original universe. Instead, it only involves trading with a small group of powerful individuals at the top of the cosmic sea.
In addition, Chen Yuan also gave up a lot of profits in order to acquire life materials, which resulted in the fact that although the transaction volume in the later other universes was high, he did not accumulate much of the Great Dao Source.
The combined profits from the businesses in the fifteen different universes are roughly the same as those in the home universe.
Of course, for Chen Yuan, more than 700 billion Origins of the Great Dao is already an astronomical figure. Not to mention Eternal-level optimization, it would be more than enough to optimize Chaos-level treasures in the future.
Based on this, even if he accumulates more energy, it's just an extra reserve that he can't use. He can't spend it even if he wants to!
Therefore, although Chen Yuan was pleasantly surprised by the discovery of these materials, he was not ecstatic.
Even if the Primordial Hand could break through to the eighth level, it wouldn't mean much to him at the moment.
The sixth level corresponds to the God-King stage, while he is only a minor Universe Lord. The gap between the two is too great!
Even if he reaches the seventh level of perfection, where he can seamlessly convert materials to God Emperor level, it's still no different from the sixth level.
As I said before, materials of that caliber are rare even on the Origin Continent, and they are either found in various mysterious places or in the hands of top experts.
He hasn't even entered the Origin Continent yet, so he doesn't need to think about things that far in the future.
"But in any case, it's not a bad thing for me to stock up on energy in advance."
"Anyway, the Primordial Hand will eventually need to be upgraded."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately took action.
He first activated the Primordial Eye, preparing to collect information on these materials one by one before refining them with the Primordial Hand.
However, when he started collecting information, he suddenly paused.
"Wait, these materials—"
Chen Yuan blinked, looked at the materials carefully with disbelief, and then revealed a look of surprise: "No, these materials seem to contain some kind of strange information, and it seems somewhat familiar to me."
"I remember now! The information here is very similar to the information I received from the strange artifact I obtained from the Lord of the Cave back then!"
"It seems—to be some kind of power related to the Great Dao?"
For the Primordial Eye, which has already reached the peak of the sixth level, analyzing these peak ninth-tier materials is already very easy. It can easily analyze a large number of materials in just a moment.
Therefore, even though Chen Yuan only used a few seconds, he was able to completely analyze the entire mountain composed of [Banyan Tree].
Perhaps it was because there were too many targets that Chen Yuan was able to keenly discover information related to the Great Dao from the flood of information pouring into his mind.
In fact, he had encountered this information before when analyzing the materials of those 25 treasure rooms, but he had only analyzed a few samples before, and the information about the Great Dao contained in them was negligible.
But now it's different. After Chen Yuan has analyzed all the materials from this entire mountain, these seemingly fragmented pieces of information are directly combined in his mind.
Ultimately, this information was pieced together into an exceptionally powerful yet extremely complex body of knowledge.
This knowledge was exceptionally profound and also very fragmented, making it difficult for Chen Yuan to extract any useful information from it. He could only guess that it was related to the Great Dao.
"But it's alright, this is just one mountain, there are still plenty of materials here."
Chen Yuan's gaze was intense. Looking around, he saw similar high mountains everywhere, almost covering the entire area except for the Purple Gold Cauldron.
Once all the information from these materials is collected, the resulting information about the Great Dao should be understandable to him, right?
So Chen Yuan struck while the iron was hot. He first used the Primordial Hand to refine the materials that had been collected, and then he discovered that after these substances were converted into energy, his system reserves contained a trace of the power of other Great Daos.
"So that's how it is. After accumulating enough information, this part of the power of the Great Dao has finally begun to manifest."
With that in mind, Chen Yuan continued to collect new information.
He was very efficient; in less than half a day, he had already refined half of the materials in this space, and at the same time, he had pieced together a large section of related Dao information.
Through this information, Chen Yuan finally understood part of its meaning and also understood the source of this power of the Great Dao—matter!
That's right, the information hidden beneath all these wondrous things is actually the material Dao of this Origin World!
"The Great Dao of Matter is one of the nine Great Daos contained in the Origin World, and all things on the Origin Continent are creations of the Origin World. It is perfectly normal for these substances to contain some information about the Great Dao."
Just as the primordial universe leaves a trace of vital energy within life forms when creating them, this was also the source of Chen Yuan's initial energy optimization.
Now, by analyzing and refining these substances, he is also accumulating this power of the Great Dao. Once he has accumulated enough energy, and combined with the information gained from the Primordial Eye, he may be able to comprehend this part of the Great Dao of matter!
Don't worry about whether the material path is suitable for you yet; let him study it first.
After all, this is the noble power of the Great Dao, the strongest power in the entire Origin World, and Chen Yuan certainly doesn't want to let it go.
Even if his cultivation path is not suitable for the material path, there is still the system. He can optimize his tasks to make the power of the path suit him!
Just like before he cultivated the secret technique of the virtual universe, he may not have been very compatible with the power of illusion, but in the end he still managed to completely master this power.
Therefore, after understanding the origin of these materials, Chen Yuan couldn't wait to continue analyzing and refining them.
Unfortunately, his movements stopped again not long afterward.
At this point, the small world was much emptier, and at least 70% of the materials had been refined by Chen Yuan into the system's energy reserves.
This may have triggered some kind of protection mechanism, and a barrier that isolates everything reappeared above the remaining 30% of the materials.
Through touch, Chen Yuan understood why these barriers appeared.
[Warning: Significant energy reserve loss detected; Creation Cauldron not activated. Protection mechanism activated.]
To remove the protection, you must replenish the lost energy reserves.
Yes, after the Creation Cauldron detected that Chen Yuan had taken away 70% of the materials without activating its refining function, it immediately activated a protective barrier, preventing him from taking all the materials.
"this----"
Chen Yuan scratched his head, thinking, "They really don't give us any loopholes."
That's right. Although these rare materials can be used to refine secret treasures, they also serve as the energy reserves for activating the Creation Cauldron.
Although he was the owner of this cauldron, he had not yet begun cultivating the crucial "Great Evolution Creation Body," resulting in insufficient authority. Moreover, he was about to seize someone else's reserves right away, which no one would be willing to do.
So, by inquiring with the Creation Cauldron, Chen Yuan learned that unless he could replenish the missing energy reserves, he wouldn't be able to take away any of the remaining 30% of the materials from this small world, or even the materials from other small worlds!
"Oh, so it's because it's lacking energy."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, "I thought I could accumulate more energy reserves, but it seems I won't be able to get this benefit."
What is crucial to him now is the material Dao information contained in these strange objects. As for the energy, it is not so important to him, since he doesn't need that much of it.
"What kind of energy does the Creation Cauldron store?" Chen Yuan directly communicated with the spirit of the Creation Cauldron, preparing to fill the gap and then continue his great mining work.
The artifact spirit stated directly, "To initially unleash the power of the Creation Cauldron, a large quantity of Chaos Stones is required. In this mode, it can unleash power at the level of an Eternal True God."
"If it is to be officially activated, even purer Chaos Crystals will be required." In this mode, the Creation Cauldron can unleash the power of a Chaos Overlord.
"The first two stages do not require the master to be strong, but if you want to unlock your full potential, you need to comprehend the laws of chaos and cultivate the Great Evolution Creation Body to the first level of the Chaos Realm."
"After meeting the above conditions, adding a large amount of cosmic sand will allow the Creation Cauldron to unleash its power at the level of a God-King."
Chen Yuan nodded, then asked, "If we convert this to Chaos Stones, how many would it take to replenish the reserves of an entire world?"
The so-called Chaos Stones, Chaos Crystals, and Cosmic Sand are all currencies from the continent of Origin, and can also be used as energy reserves.
One grain of cosmic sand is equal to ten thousand Chaos Crystals, or one hundred million Chaos Stones.
However, Chen Yuan had never seen Cosmic Sand before. He had only seen the first two types of currency in the treasure space of the Holy Weapon Sect, which he guessed were hidden in the last three treasure rooms.
In response to Chen Yuan's question, the artifact spirit said, "If we want to keep the reserves of each small world full, each world will need 100 million Chaos Stones. This is the true value of the materials I have piled up."
"However, since energy conversion will result in losses, if the master is willing to provide Chaos Stones, only 50 million will be needed to exchange for the materials of an entire world."
"Is that so?" Chen Yuan nodded. "I've heard that Chaos Crystals contain even purer energy. What if I provide Chaos Crystals?"
"You're willing to provide Chaos Crystals?!" The spirit's tone was somewhat excited: "You're right, the energy of Chaos Crystals is purer, and I'll have less energy loss when using them."
"In that case, if you are willing to provide Chaos Crystals, then each world will only require two thousand—no, one thousand!"
"If you leave behind one thousand Chaos Crystals, you can take away all the material reserves of this world!"
"A thousand? Wait a minute." Chen Yuan used the Primordial Hand to condense a Chaos Stone and a Chaos Crystal, and then discovered that the consumption and exchange ratios of the two were the same.
That is, the energy required to condense one Chaos Crystal is exactly the same as the energy required to condense ten thousand Chaos Stones.
"Moreover, I have finally anchored the value of the Source of the Great Dao."
Chen Yuan blinked: "One unit of the Source of the Great Dao is actually exactly equivalent to one Chaos Stone?"
In other words, his energy reserves of over 700 billion units, when converted into cosmic sand, are only worth a little over 7,000 units?
"Looking at it this way, I'm still quite poor, but the resources of the Origin Continent are just too abundant."
"However, it seems like I have a chance to make a fortune right now—"
It seems that this artifact spirit is severely lacking in high-quality energy. If Chen Yuan were to provide Chaos Crystals, it would even be willing to lower the price to one-tenth!
Perhaps the transformation of these materials would result in significant losses for the Creation Cauldron, but Chen Yuan didn't care at all. Any material in his hands could be 100% converted into energy!
In other words, he can buy all these materials for one-tenth the price and convert them back into energy, thereby making ten times the profit!
Most importantly, through these materials, he can also piece together information about the Great Dao of Matter!
"Let's do it!" Chen Yuan nodded secretly, then said, "I can provide you with enough Chaos Crystals and take all the materials from these small worlds with me, how about it?"
"You're willing to provide Chaos Crystals?!" The spirit's tone became noticeably excited.
"Of course." Chen Yuan flipped his hand and took out a thousand Chaos Crystals, tossing them into the Creation Cauldron of this small world, and then said, "Can the barrier be removed now?"
"no problem!"
Upon receiving these Chaos Crystals, the artifact spirit readily removed the shield from this small world.
Before long, Chen Yuan had refined the remaining 30% of the materials.
"Let's go, to the next world."
