Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Assembling Secret Skills

Almost all composite skills are formed by combining two or more secret skills.

After the composition, the primordial energy consumption of the secret skills equals the sum of the primordial energy consumed by all secret skills.

This leads to composite skills being extremely energy-consuming; many composite skills, while known to be strong, may end up being unusable or require the cultivator to exhaust their primordial energy, possibly even needing to overdraw to use them once.

This issue has troubled cultivators for a long time; many have researched ways to reduce the primordial energy consumption of composite skills, but results have not been promising.

Although some have developed composite skills with lower energy consumption than usual, the reduction is limited and requires special conditions for application.

Chen Xinghe’s method of creating composite skills effectively solves this problem.

The composite skills he created have very low energy consumption, possibly even lower than one of the combined secret skills.

Chen Guan now understands somewhat why Chen Xinghe could carve out his world in such an environment.

It must be said, Chen Xinghe created a brand-new composite skill system, which surpassed his era in Divine Land by many years, remaining far ahead even now.

Others combine secret skills, but Chen Xinghe’s way was to disassemble and then reassemble them.

Imagine secret skills as computers. Originally, they are branded machines; Chen Xinghe disassembled them, took the most performant parts, and reassembled them.

It seems like a composite skill, but in reality, it’s a computer with enhanced performance, not requiring additional primordial energy to run, potentially reducing energy consumption.

Of course, secret skills aren’t easily disassembled; if they were, they would have been discovered long ago.

Wise talents are abundant in the world, and it wouldn’t be only Chen Xinghe who could disassemble secret skills.

This is a very complex and profound technique, requiring many foundational theoretical knowledge and insights discovered and researched by Chen Xinghe himself.

Only by applying this complete set of theories and formulas can different secret skills be dissected and utilized.

Disassembling secret skills itself is also a process of composite secret skills, requiring other secret skills to participate, using the destructive opportunities during the combination process to separate the useful parts and integrate them with the useful parts separated from other secret skills.

Without corresponding knowledge and secret skills, this process is extremely dangerous, not only difficult to succeed but also harmful to oneself.

"How did you discover this method?" Chen Guan asked Chen Xinghe with a peculiar expression, now possessing systematic theories and regulations, Chen Guan felt the risk was high; it’s unimaginable how Chen Xinghe figured it out and formed a system before this existed.

"When a person is extremely hungry, anything that seems edible will be tried," Chen Xinghe smiled and said: "In my era, trying to stand out was extremely difficult; there were no corresponding resources, so one had to use whatever was available."

Chen Xinghe spoke simply, but Chen Guan could imagine the extent of desperation necessary to venture into such risks.

With no progress of his own, Chen Guan had time to follow Chen Xinghe and learn the knowledge of composite secret skills.

With this knowledge, Chen Guan could independently compose secret skills.

Chen Guan thought, the most crucial role of this technique is reducing energy consumption, seemingly not useful for him.

Nonetheless, Chen Guan studied diligently, not planning to research composite secret skills himself, just to be prepared for any circumstances.

The formulas Chen Xinghe researched were adequate for his use.

The secret skills in those formulas are mostly commonly found, requiring rare, uncommon, and unparalleled qualities; even unparalleled secret skills are rarely needed.

Only some formulas have a significant proportion of unparalleled secret skills.

Chen Guan asked Chen Xinghe, and he said those were created later when he gradually gained some position.

Within Chen Xinghe’s secret skill formulas exists a special one named "The Transcendent," featuring all secret god quality skills.

"Is this Transcendent very powerful?" Chen Guan asked Chen Xinghe. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Chen Xinghe chuckled: "Well, I found these secret skills when I broke into the ancestral court and raided the treasury, casually researching them. It’s likely very difficult to gather again; the effect is still decent."

Chen Guan didn’t continue asking, knowing this set of Transcendent secret skills requires nine secret divine skills, nearly impossible to gather again.

After mastering the theoretical knowledge, practical exercises from simple to complex remained.

This required support from the secret skill core, not available at home, prompting Chen Guan to acquire them externally.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Guan visited the blessed land, brought Ji Nanhong out, and sent her to the grotto heaven for continued advancement and training.

The Evil Spirit Blood Sword, already level 70, was returned to Ji Nanhong to support her rapid progression.

Ji Nanhong’s secret technique required constant exploration of unknown secret realms for quick advancement.

With the Evil Spirit Blood Sword by her side, nothing in the grotto heaven should threaten Ji Nanhong’s safety, allowing Chen Guan peace of mind.

With Ji Nanhong arranged, Chen Guan began obtaining cores, starting with the simples composite skills for disassembly and integration.

In the formula Chen Xinghe gave him, the simplest was the "Spring and Autumn Finger," formed by dismantling and restructuring the Spring Flower Finger and Autumn Frost Finger.

These two are quite ordinary rare secret skills; Chen Guan easily acquired them with minimal effort and cost.

Chen Guan attempted to integrate these secret skills, leveraging their characteristics for mutual destruction.

The whole process was extremely perilous, any mistake could cause self-harm.

With the Ultimate of the Infinite, Chen Guan effortlessly completed the whole process, wondering how Chen Xinghe initially accomplished it.

Chen Guan tested it, finding the restructured Spring and Autumn Finger’s power greatly amplified compared to Spring Flower Finger and Autumn Frost Finger, its power multiplied several times, yet energy consumption only increased from 1.2 to 1.3.

"It’s truly powerful; Father is indeed a genius; nobody’s success is mere luck!" Chen Guan admired in his heart.

After successfully composing the Spring and Autumn Finger, Chen Guan didn’t continue with other formulas, realizing one thing.

Under such harsh conditions, Chen Xinghe found such a path; compared to that, the troubles Chen Guan currently faces don’t seem as formidable.
