Chapter 510: Two Secrets
Chapter 510: Two Secrets
"Movement Secret?"
An Miaoyi, having just tidied her hair, widened her eyes again. After seeing eight immortal roots in Ye Chen's small world, she thought nothing could surprise her. Yet Ye Chen always exceeded expectations.
Movement Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, is a supreme human Dao technique in the cultivation world. If a cultivator were lucky enough to obtain it, they'd never share it. The more who knew a technique, the greater the risk of exposing weaknesses. Thus, the cultivation world held the tradition of guarding secrets closely. But Ye Chen, having acquired a Nine Secret, offered it to her immediately. How could An Miaoyi not be moved?
Ye Chen continued, "As prodigies emerge for the final Immortal Path, the cultivation world will go mad. Movement Secret grants supreme speed, an advantage in battle or escape, ensuring invincibility. So, Senior An, don't refuse. Mastering this will ease my worries. I'll also gift it to Yuyi later!"
An Miaoyi couldn't refuse. Recalling how Ye Chen always gave her the most precious treasures and tirelessly sought immortal roots for her, she saw his deep love. Her heart swelled with emotion. She resolved, no matter the future, to bear more heirs for Ye Chen. If she couldn't escape being absorbed by her main body, these children would comfort him.
…
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye!"
An Miaoyi accepted graciously, expressing her thanks.
Ye Chen smiled, tapping the red mole on her brow. The Movement Secret scripture, obtained from Yi Qingwu, flowed into her spirit sense. The torrent of text made her tremble, and she closed her eyes to comprehend it.
At that moment, a system prompt sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
"Congratulations, host, gift successful…"
"Gift: Movement Secret (Incomplete)!"
Ye Chen shook his head, unsurprised. He'd suspected the Movement Secret was lacking. Now, the system confirmed its incompleteness. Either Heavenly Intention Holy Son or his sect was the issue. He'd never doubt the fiancée. Her consistent critical hits proved her reliability. An incomplete scripture didn't disappoint him—it came from her, after all. He read on.
"2000x feedback in progress…"

"Detected: Gift holds great significance to the recipient, triggering critical hit!"
"Rewards: Movement Secret, Multiplier Secret!"
"Rewards: Freedom Heavenly Venerable's Movement Secret Insights, Emperor Venerable's Multiplier Secret Insights!"
"Movement Secret: Supreme speed technique, touching the time domain. At mastery, one can enter the river of time…"
"Multiplier Secret: Supreme offensive technique, instantly boosting combat power, speed, strength, Qi, and attack by tenfold…"
Ye Chen's eyes widened at the system prompt. A complete Movement Secret was expected. But Multiplier Secret? A complete surprise.
Multiplier Secret, in Ye Chen's view, was the most outrageous of the Nine Secrets. It could amplify a cultivator tenfold instantly—not just one aspect, but all. Speed, Qi, attack, defense…
What did that mean? Two evenly matched prodigies might battle for days. But if one triggered Multiplier Secret, a tenfold attack could end it in a flash. The thought was terrifying.
Of course, no technique was truly invincible. Multiplier Secret's tenfold boost had a minuscule trigger chance. Perhaps one in ten thousand. It relied on luck.
Still, Ye Chen found Multiplier Secret incredible. Even a slim chance was a chance. Against a lucky foe, one punch could kill. The insights thrilled him more. Freedom Heavenly Venerable and Emperor Venerable, figures from the ancient era, predating the Heavenly Emperor.
Freedom Heavenly Venerable created Movement Secret; Emperor Venerable, Multiplier Secret. Their insights meant mastering both secrets instantly, saving immense time.
As the insights flooded his mind, Ye Chen pondered. He realized where Heavenly Intention Holy Son's Movement Secret fell short. Two critical lines, tied to triggering time stagnation, were missing. Without them, time stagnation was nearly impossible. No wonder Heavenly Intention Holy Son's success rate was low. Ye Chen suspected his sect deliberately crippled it.
…
Satisfied with the rewards, Ye Chen felt the fiancée was phenomenal, but Senior An was no less impressive. An Miaoyi had lagged behind, her Heavenly Spirit Root's 500x multiplier insufficient. But with the Seven Extremes Immortal Body, her multiplier soared to 2000x. She stood tall again. The gap between an incomplete and full scripture was vast. Even two missing lines made a world of difference.
Before, An Miaoyi's crit might've yielded a full Movement Secret, maybe an insight. Now, with 2000x, one incomplete Nine Secret produced two, including the coveted Multiplier Secret. Truly remarkable.
The only pity: a scripture could only trigger feedback once. Second gifts didn't count. Otherwise, gifting the Movement Secret to his master or Fan Qinghe could've netted all Nine Secrets. A shame…
…
With two Nine Secrets, Ye Chen's gaze on An Miaoyi softened. He spoke, ready to complete her Movement Secret and share Freedom Heavenly Venerable's insights. "Senior An, the Movement Secret I gave you was missing two lines. Can you spot them? No matter if you can't—I'll complete it now. Then, under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, we'll discuss and study the Nine Secrets…"
Ye Chen smiled, crafting an excuse to perfect her scripture.
An Miaoyi shook her head, smiling. "The Movement Secret is profound; comprehension takes time. I didn't notice the missing lines. But completing it and discussing can wait… First, let's detoxify, so Fellow Daoist Ye feels better…"
With that, she gently lowered her head.
