However, a single character didn't represent much at all, so Qin Chen began to study the second character.
Due to the accumulation of knowledge from the first character, the second character took Qin Chen only half the time it previously did.
Then came the third. The fourth.
As he progressed, Qin Chen's research speed increased rapidly, and finally... after an unknown amount of time, perhaps a hundred years, or maybe a thousand, ten thousand years, or even longer, Qin Chen finally understood the meaning of all the characters.
In this place, time and space were meaningless, only the profound truths existed eternally.
There were only a few thousand characters, and after deciphering them, Qin Chen finally learned the name of this treasure.
"Oblivion Crystal Stele!"
What was contained within this Oblivion Crystal Stele was indeed a whole new set of rules, the Dark Luo Heavenly Rules.
These rules were not part of the rules in this universe; as for where they originated, there was no record, and Qin Chen had not uncovered it either.
In addition, this stele recorded a type of technique, a secret method similar to cultivation, capable of enhancing the physical body.
Only by successfully cultivating this technique could one carry and operate utilizing the Dark Luo Heavenly Rules.
"Dark Luo Heavenly Rules? Not the rules of this universe?"
Qin Chen murmured. Such rules, of unknown origin, would likely hold no significant use, even if Qin Chen truly understood them.
Because, the so-called rules are the foundation of a world’s birth and also the core of that world’s operation. Ultimately, the existence of rules is to support the functioning of a particular world.
Thus, generally, a rule can only operate within the world where it exists; switching to another world might lead to suppression or even render it completely inoperable.
However, this body refining technique could be worth attempting.
As long as it pertains to flesh-and-blood life forms, many body refining rules could be applicable unless it involves different types of life.
The entire body refining technique is extremely difficult.
Moreover, this body refining rule is divided into nine levels, some of which are incomplete.
"Based on the information I have, at this moment, I can only start from the first level of the body refining method contained within this Oblivion Crystal Stele."
Qin Chen carefully examined the body refining method, but merely viewing the first level already left him astounded; this was unlike any secret method he had encountered before.
Many body refining techniques involve tempering the body using various medicinal liquids and other items to enhance physical strength, such as the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Body, which condenses various powerful forces within the body to strengthen its physical intensity.
But this rule-based secret method was truly miraculous; it transformed the physical body from the inside out, mutating from the deepest levels such as genes and cells, allowing every cell of the body to condense rules and transform into a divine realm, containing the unique power of a different world.
This is somewhat similar to the heavenly tribulation encountered by warriors when they break through.
When the body evolves, the soul also evolves, leading to a natural increase in physical strength and transformation, which is a natural occurrence for warriors after their breakthroughs.
However, this secret method can elevate one's life level even without a breakthrough, which is truly astonishing.
This technique seems to be an entirely new type of secret method.
On the starship, Qin Chen was excited, experiencing unprecedented shock.
If this secret method were to spread, it would surely cause a stir throughout the Heavenly Realm, with all races vying for it.
Which race would not be thrilled by a body refining secret method that could directly change the level of life?
For example, among the demon race, an ordinary demon expert, no matter how they cultivate, the level of their physical body is limited by their cultivation. A Demon Saint has a Demon Saint-level body, a Saint Master has a Saint Master-level body, and a Demon Venerable has a Demon Venerable-level body.
