As for why Chen Yuan was in such a hurry to leave, it was naturally because his fetal breathing technique had been optimized.
Back in reality, he immediately opened the panel and looked at the optimization section:
[Fetal Breathing Cultivation Method: Evaluated as a Hengxing-level ultimate secret technique, it involves meditating on oneself to condense a spiritual embryo in the sea of consciousness. This embryo can connect to the origin of the universe and absorb its energy. Specific effects are as follows:]
[1. By improving proficiency in the fetal breathing technique, the amplitude of mental energy can be gradually increased, with an upper limit of up to one thousand times.]
[2. It allows the sacred embryo to evolve slowly, enhancing its compatibility with the origin of the universe and increasing absorption efficiency.]
[3. Sustainably enhances willpower strength; current maximum is: High-level Cosmic Venerable-level Willpower]
All of the above are effects resulting from practicing the fetal breathing method.
The latter two effects were requirements put forward by Chen Yuan during the optimization process, while the first effect of increasing the amplitude of psychic power was an unexpected gain.
Like power amplitude, psychic power also has an amplitude, with an upper limit of one hundred times. One hundred times the psychic power amplitude is equal to one time the soul amplitude.
When Chen Yuan entered the Fetal Breathing Realm and automatically gained mental power, the amplitude of his mental power directly reached 100 times.
By practicing the fetal breathing method, his mental power amplitude will be further enhanced until it reaches the upper limit of 1000 times the mental power amplitude, which is also 10 times the soul amplitude.
Although Chen Yuan did not intend to dedicate himself to the spiritualist path, his powerful soul amplitude would be of great help to his martial arts journey.
After all, as one's cultivation level increases, the dividing line between martial artists and spiritual practitioners will become smaller and smaller.
In addition, the sacred embryo that Chen Yuan condensed also has a special ability: he can use the sacred embryo to breathe and briefly descend his consciousness to the origin of the universe.
Chen Yuan had previously achieved the descent of consciousness into the origin of the universe, but at that time he was focused on the state of oneness with heaven and man and failed to explore it in detail.
After condensing the sacred embryo, his consciousness was kicked out of the place of origin and refused to enter again.
Fortunately, thanks to the power of the Holy Embryo, his consciousness can descend once again.
The origin of the universe contains an ocean of laws. When Chen Yuan's consciousness descended to this place, it was equivalent to getting infinitely close to the origin of the laws, and his understanding became many times clearer.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan's Holy Embryo's power is currently limited, only able to support his consciousness to descend once a month, and each time only lasting for an hour. He is not yet able to keep his consciousness permanently in the Origin Land.
Even so, this is equivalent to gaining one hour of World Lord-level comprehension speed every month, which Chen Yuan is quite satisfied with.
However, for this reason, Chen Yuan discovered that his Holy Embryo was indeed very different from the description in Star River Emperor.
For example, the Holy Embryo in "Star River Emperor" is a product of the combination of mind and energy, and is an energy body.
Chen Yuan's sacred embryo, on the other hand, is entirely a product of spiritual power. It is formed by the combination of mental strength and soul intensity, and carries his soul core.
This is natural because he already has an energy core located in his dantian, which consists of those nine miniature stars.
As a cultivation system native to Swallowing the Stars, the Gene Energy System is already quite complete, so it naturally does not need an additional energy core.
Chen Yuan's sacred fetus served more as a channel to communicate with the origin of the universe, incidentally absorbing some of the origin's energy for optimization and reserve.
In addition, it is about further elevating one's spiritual realm and increasing the upper limit of one's willpower.
Chen Yuan then extracted the contents of the Fetal Breathing Cultivation Method, read it carefully, and gained a general understanding of the cultivation method of the Fetal Breathing Realm.
In essence, it's still meditation, only the object of meditation has become oneself.
By meditating on oneself, one can resonate with the core of the soul and the sacred embryo, thereby promoting the growth of the sacred embryo.
After gaining a general understanding, Chen Yuan immediately began cultivating the Fetal Breathing Realm.
Because he had condensed the sacred embryo in advance and his cultivation method was 100% compatible, Chen Yuan's entry into the sect was exceptionally smooth.
Through meditation, his soul resonated with the frequency of the Holy Embryo.
With each breath of the Holy Embryo, the energy drawn from its source is transmitted to the soul along this frequency. Through meditation, it is transformed into a unique energy that returns to the Holy Embryo, promoting the mutual growth of both.
Time flew by as Chen Yuan cultivated, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Chen Yuan received an email notification that all the trainees who participated in the preliminary rounds had left the Trial Tower, and the preliminary rounds had officially ended.
The email also mentioned that he had successfully passed the preliminary round and needed to enter the assessment space within ten minutes to undergo the main competition assessment.
Chen Yuan immediately logged into the virtual universe.
After entering the assessment space, he first glanced at his ranking on his wrist, which displayed:
Participant: Chen Yuan Points: 67770000
Ranking: 1
Clearly, even after more than a month, Chen Yuan's previous record remains unmatched.
Looking at the second-place score of 8552000, this result clearly showed that the opponent stopped at the first level of the fourth trial tower, which completely confirmed his previous judgment.
A quick glance around the square revealed that the crowds were much smaller than they had been a month ago.
Chen Yuan quickly calculated it and found that, including himself, there were exactly one thousand people.
"It seems these are the top 1,000 who made it through the qualifiers."
Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze and showed no intention of talking to the others, as most of his consciousness was in reality, practicing the Fetal Breathing Technique.
Seeing Chen Yuan's amazing results, the other contestants didn't dare to approach him and just whispered among themselves from a distance.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the familiar oppressive aura descended once more, with the immortal figure in the blood-red battle robe reappearing.
This time, he was accompanied by a thousand geniuses.
"Next, we'll begin the main competition."
The Blood-Robed Immortal calmly announced: "The top one thousand geniuses from the preliminary rounds will face off against the bottom one thousand geniuses from the Qianwu branch in a one-on-one tournament."
"The winner will enter the Ganwu branch!"
"Your opponents have been assigned in the virtual universe. The match will officially begin in one minute."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan looked down at the screen on his wrist, which displayed:
[As assigned by the virtual universe, your next opponent is: Carlo]
The system also provides basic information about the opponent, although the content is quite limited.
This Carlo is a psychic, possessing domain abilities, and has crossed the threshold of the Law of Light.
However, key information such as the specific secret techniques the other party practiced and the number of layers in their domain was not mentioned.
However, Chen Yuan didn't care about this information. Although this opponent was a member of the Qianwu branch and his strength should not be bad, he was definitely no match for him.
The one-minute preparation time quickly ended, and with a flash of light, the two thousand geniuses in the square were teleported to their respective arenas.
Inside the No. 1 arena, two figures appeared at opposite ends of the arena.
Chen Yuan casually chose a set of second-tier Force weapons and combat suit, stood in mid-air, and gazed at his opponent several kilometers away.
This "Carlo" was a lean young man dressed in black. As a mentalist, he rode a long black shuttle and was surrounded by a silver-white halo.
The arena space gave both sides ten seconds to choose their equipment, and there were still a few seconds before it started.
The two faced each other across the ring when Carlo's voice came through the Force: "You're the winner of this qualifying tournament?"
His tone carried a hint of arrogance: "However, the results in the Trial Tower don't mean anything. I will show you—the strength of the Qianwu branch members."
"Then I'll wait and see." Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
The moment the countdown ended, Carlo suddenly opened his domain, and at the same time, the long shuttle under his feet moved, but instead of rushing towards Chen Yuan, it quickly pulled back to create distance.
At the same time, the opponent's silver-white halo transformed into a stream of light, rapidly approaching Chen Yuan's figure.
As a mentalist, maintaining distance from martial artists is the correct way to fight. Although Carlo is arrogant, he is, after all, a member of the Qianwu branch and has a very professional fighting awareness.
However—in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, any tactic is futile.
As a dazzling cyan light suddenly burst forth, the pale cyan domain instantly covered the opponent's seven-layered light domain, causing Carlo's figure to pause slightly.
"Ninefold Realm!"
Carlo's expression changed slightly, but what was even more terrifying was yet to come.
Chen Yuan's figure suddenly appeared behind him, and before he could react, the cold blade had already sliced across his neck.
[Match ended, winner: Chen Yuan]
Upon returning to the square, Chen Yuan immediately received a new email.
[Congratulations, Chen Yuan! You have officially become a student of the Ganwu branch. Please report to the Ganwu branch within one year.]
Upon seeing this message, Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
