210: Cataclysmic Techniques; The Great Mystery Scripture of White Hair!

Monopoly is the greatest source of profit.

This is the core principle.

The Seven Great Apex Races are all like this.

As the first Ascender of the Blue Star, Ye Su could be considered a minor possessor of the Face Fruit.

Facing such a high-quality client, both Ister and Lu Yiyi felt it was worth giving him a smile.

"This information can be considered as having been traded for using my Face."

"For now, it's useful."

"So... now I can test out which of my Secret Techniques have value."

Ye Su had comprehended quite a few Martial Arts.

Especially after gathering the full White Head Great Profound Scripture, it seemed his Comprehension Ability had also improved significantly.

The power of the Secret Techniques derived from the Ape Fist was constantly increasing.

As for exactly how much the amplitude had reached, that still required testing.

He arrived at the Research Institute.

There was a hall here specifically for testing.

In the past, there would be many people here, but right now there weren't many.

The Wang Clan's invasion left everyone without the mood for this; any combat methods were mostly tested on the battlefield.

After turning on all the equipment,

Ye Su began his testing.

First was the first Secret Technique of the Ape Fist.

White Ape Delivers Saber!

This was a test of power; it didn't require the blessing of Heaven's Will, and he didn't even add the tyranny of the heart ape.

His blood qi circulated, and the long saber turned blood-red.

Then, he slashed out fiercely at the target.

"This time, I'll only use the strength of 20 Physique points to see how much the burst can reach!"

Boom!

The target vibrated.

A terrifying impact force slammed directly into it.

And on the large screen behind, the lethality calculation appeared.

43!

This single strike was equivalent to the output of 43 points of Physique strength.

That is, a power level of 2.15.

It couldn't be sold for a high price at all.

---

"Damn it, to reach a higher Rank, or even to exchange value for the lossless survival of the entire Great Xia, the required power level must be at least Rank 6 or above."

"I'm only at Rank 2.15; the gap is too large!"

Afterward,

Ye Su continued to test several other moves.

He found they were almost all the same.

They were all around Rank 2, with very few even approaching Rank 3.

"On Blue Star, my martial talent is top-tier if not the absolute best."

"I didn't expect that on the scale of the Universe, it's completely bottom-tier!"

"Could it be that it's truly this worthless?"

Ye Su was annoyed.

Carrying his fury, his divine long saber slashed out violently.

This strike had no timing bonus, but it carried the Martial Arts True Intent of the White Ape.

Screech!!

The terrifying power directly sliced the target open.

And on the large screen behind, it displayed 423!

112 points of Physique.

A power level approaching 4.

"Eh?"

"This is—true intent! Martial Arts True Intent!"

Ye Su was stunned.

He hurriedly opened that scroll.

Then, he searched for Martial Arts True Intent.

"Found it!"

Ye Su muttered to himself, then quickly read on;

"Martial Arts True Intent has already touched the level of laws."

"Its value ceiling is extremely high, and its floor is also extremely low."

"The most important factor is the level of the true intent."

"For example, the most high-end Spacetime True Intent can produce an area-of-effect time distortion, making people feel as if their own time has slowed down."

"For this kind of Spacetime True Intent, to replicate a complete insight, the price starts at a hundred drops of Heaven's Will, with no upper limit!"

So monstrous!!

Both the effect and the price were mind-blowing.

Time distortion.

When fighting others, the opponent's time slows down—who could possibly beat you!

And the price was also ridiculous, starting at a hundred drops of Heaven's Will.

Wouldn't that lead directly to Ascension Three?

A single true intent insight is worth an Ascension Three.

My god!

"And the lowest-end Strength True Intent can easily burst out Rank 3 power; a complete insight of it is worth 100 crystal coins."

"Right, there's also an introduction to the grades of true intent power further back."

"Low-end true intent can also be promoted."

"For instance, once Strength True Intent is promoted to the level of 'One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws,' its value will also reach the price level of Heaven's Will."

The Universe has existed for countless years.

These things have already been sorted out clearly.

The levels and values of various powers all have standards.

In the Universe, as long as you have money, you can buy anything!

"Looking at it like this will only make me dizzy."

Ye Su let out a long breath.

The impact of the Universe's massive world-view was terrifying.

But time was tight, and he couldn't afford to digest it slowly.

"My true intent is violent in nature; it's actually a variant of Strength True Intent. A complete insight would probably be worth... 400 crystal coins."

"However, extracting a complete true intent insight has a side effect: my combat power would decline severely for several months."

"Damn it, it's like all my paths are being cut off, isn't it!"

"It's almost impossible to play this game!"

The more he looked, the more frustrated Ye Su became.

In this scroll, there were no shortcuts, only reality.

Calming down, he continued to read.

This time, he turned to the section on Cultivation Techniques.

In the Universe, Cultivation Techniques were the least valuable.

Even techniques that could lead to the cultivation of Spacetime True Intent weren't expensive.

After all,

true intent relies on comprehension; if your Comprehension Ability is truly that Heaven-Defying, you wouldn't need to buy true intent insights.

"Cultivation Techniques opened from treasure chests are basically common in the Universe."

"But what about my three core Cultivation Techniques?"

Ye Su was curious.

Clearly, his core Cultivation Techniques were different.

Search, find.

Immediately after, the entire scroll turned red.

"Calamity Technique!"

"Techniques originating from the depths of Calamity Chaos; the meaning and function of these techniques are unknown, and their origins cannot be queried in the Universe."

"Yet they can vaguely align with the culture or lore of certain undeveloped wild planets."

"They possess extremely high research value; the important ones can be priced in Heaven's Will!"

"White Head Great Profound Scripture!"

"No records found in the Universe; the System displays it as an incorrect input or an unrecorded Calamity-level technique."

Ye Su was completely stunned.

This core Cultivation Technique's name came from a certain poem in ancient Great Xia.

It matched the scroll's description of a Calamity Technique.

After all,

Mutations existed throughout the entire Universe, yet the technique aligned with a specific historical point of Great Xia.

And Blue Star had never had contact with the Universe before.

This was the first time.

Therefore,

It was a Calamity Technique, and thus, its value was very high.

Ye Su was now in deep thought.

Replicating a Cultivation Technique wasn't difficult.

Something like martial marrow was hard to find on Blue Star.

But Lu Yiyi could certainly provide it.

Should he sell it?

The price of Heaven's Will.

It could add a remarkable foundation to himself or Great Xia.

It could even...

Directly avert the disaster from the Wang Clan's pressure.

No!

He could wait!

Ye Su's mind suddenly became clear.

I only need to find more clues; the rest, Grain Rain's letter from the future will tell me!

Moreover, Ye Su didn't dare let the martial marrow look through his memories.

No matter who it was.

A Golden Finger like the Letter from the Future was far too outrageous.

---On the Eurasian continent.

A life-form that was almost like a skeleton was stumbling along.

A member of the Yao Race approached out of curiosity.

Only to see the skeleton-like life-form suddenly look up.

The red light in its eyes was like fire.

The next second,

The giant wolf of the Yao Race went stiff and fell to the ground.

A blurred and illusory Soul body was pulled directly out of its body.

And swallowed into the mouth of that skeleton.

This was;

Soul Devourer!

"More... I need more Souls!"

"I want to become stronger, even stronger!"

The skeleton murmured.

His voice was filled with savagery and madness, yet it strangely retained a trace of rationality.
