Chapter 56: Speculations on Yi Chen’s Limits
Having determined the goal for creating his new skill, Yi Chen no longer hesitated.
He immediately sat down cross-legged.
First, he began to improve the Chaos Technique.
As the founder of the cultivation method, he had no references or previous experience; he had to carve his own path.
One of the troubles was that every time he advanced to a new major realm, he had to remold his previous cultivation techniques.
Only by adapting it to suit the realm could he continue to cultivate and raise his level.
In just a few hours, he had improved the Chaos Technique to the level of Spirit Law.
Then, he began to quietly comprehend the laws of nature.
Squeak, squeak…
Beside him, the Little Gold Ball, which had been observing Yi Chen, felt disappointed.
It could sense that Yi Chen’s aura had clearly surged several times.
It initially thought it could go out with Yi Chen to find some fierce beasts for some fun.
However, it was unexpected that the greatly empowered Yi Chen still had no plans to step outside.
This left the naturally energetic Little Gold Ball quite disappointed.
But there was nothing it could do about it.
After grumbling a few complaints, it lay back down next to Yi Chen and went back to sleep.
…
“Yi Chen doesn’t seem to be cultivating! The scanner shows that his spirit power isn’t circulating through his meridians.”
“He must be thinking about and researching new skills!”
“Wow, he’s truly a heavy homebody. After breaking through to a new realm and gaining significant power, wouldn’t anyone else want to go out and explore?”
“If it were me, I’d definitely look for some strong fierce beasts to show off my increased power.”
“Meanwhile, he’s gone straight to researching new skills.”
“The key point is that the house is about to fall apart, and he’s not paying attention…”
“He’s a genius; they do that, not worrying about the little things.”
“That high priest in charge of everything is simply useless. Yi Chen tells him to do something, and he just does it without thinking to build Yi Chen a stone house at the end of the valley.”
“With the current strength and manpower of the Flame Mountain Tribe, it would be easy to build Yi Chen a spacious, bright, and comfortable home.”
“I feel quite sorry for the Little Gold Ball, so restless yet stuck with a heavy homebody master who stays indoors all day, just playing with a spirit stone.”
“A spirit stone bigger than its body has been reduced to the size of a marble by its relentless play.”
“Yi Chen has never even petted its golden fur; it has never experienced the feeling of being loved by its master.”
The audience in the live room continued to express their feelings.
The thoughts of a genius are always hard to fathom.
Yi Chen, the greatest genius in the history of humanity, thinks in ways that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
Even after breaking through to a new major realm and soaring in strength, he was only happy for a few seconds before immediately diving into the research and creation of new skills.
A genius working this hard makes all of humanity feel a sense of inadequacy.
“By the way, many experts say that although Yi Chen’s talent is at the very top of our human pyramid, his ability to create new skills is close to its cap.”
“The announcements from the research institute seem to say the same thing.”
“According to these experts and the research institute’s findings, although Yi Chen’s realm hasn’t reached its limit, his talent for creating new skills is nearly at its peak.”
Someone couldn’t help but worry, “Do you think Yi Chen will be unable to create a new skill?”
“It shouldn’t come to that. After his breakthrough, he first consolidated his realm.”
Immediately, someone opposed this assumption: “Then, he seemed to be improving the Chaos Technique, modifying it from the Spirit Release level to be suitable for the Spirit Law level.”
“And it only took him about three hours. That’s not much different from the time it took to improve the Qi Condensation version of the Chaos Technique.”
“If we calculate it this way, creating a skill at the Spirit Law level should have a difficulty level similar to what he faced when creating the Spirit Release skill.”
This argument was quickly countered.
“The time he took to improve the Chaos Technique cannot be used as a reference. That was based on existing methods and energy circulation pathways; how much time it takes depends on luck.”
“What truly matters is the time taken to create a new skill. When in the Qi Condensation stage, Yi Chen took only about a month to create both the Chaos Technique and the Flying Blade Technique.”
“However, after the Spirit Release stage, he took two months for each: the Cloud Treading Technique and the Heaven-Slashing Technique.”
“Theoretically, to create a skill at the Spirit Law level, he would need about four months.”
“And it could possibly be longer. You need to understand, the concept of talent limits doesn’t work that way. The higher the realm, the more the difficulty multiplies.”
“Indeed, it seems that Yi Chen should still be able to create a skill at the Spirit Law level.”
“But at least, it is likely to take four months or even up to four years.”
“That may not be true; the experts’ words hold little credibility. Yi Chen doesn’t follow the usual logic.”
“Don’t forget, normally, even with spirit stones to assist him, Yi Chen would need over ten days to break through to Spirit Law. But what happened? Didn’t he break through to Spirit Law ahead of the predicted time?”
Everyone debated whether Yi Chen could create his new skill.
Some believed it was possible, others thought it might be impossible, and some felt it could be done but would take a long time.
Everyone held their opinions, backed by their own arguments.
However, most leaned toward the belief that Yi Chen’s limit for creating skills had not yet been reached, but was nearing its peak.
A new skill could be created, but it would require a long time.
“No matter if the new skill takes four months or four years, I just want to know when Yi Chen will teach the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique and the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique.”
“Just wait patiently! With the Complete Version of the Cloud Treading Technique and the weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique, once the high-end combat power of the Flame Mountain Tribe joins forces, they will almost be able to dominate the Flame Mountain range.”
“Especially with Guli and her talented group about to break through to the first level of Spirit Law; their power will greatly increase, leaving no challengers in the Flame Mountain range.”
“The Yanhuang Tribe unifying the entire Flame Mountain range is only a matter of time.”
“If Yi Chen realizes his ambition of unifying the Flame Mountain range, the average strength of the Yanhuang Tribe will hold steady. The chances of him teaching more skills will be minimal.”
“So, hoping for Yi Chen to teach the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique and the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique is practically a fantasy.”
“But we don’t need to worry. Those heavy criminals sent by the federal government to get close to Yi Chen; if even one succeeds, all problems will be easily resolved.”
“Besides, the era of universal cultivation has officially arrived, with many universities already offering courses in cultivation, and middle and elementary schools will surely follow.”
“It won’t be long before Yi Chen’s cultivation methods become a mandatory subject. In that case, just like various disciplines, more and more talents will emerge, constantly pushing the field’s development.”
“This is the future direction for humanity, even if Yi Chen’s talent would decline and he could no longer create new skills. Even if he refuses to teach more skills, if all the heavy criminals sent to approach him fail, the cultivation methods won’t be cut off; it will just develop more slowly.”
“Breaking through to Spirit Law will provide a lifespan cap of five hundred years; we can wait.”
As for when Yi Chen will teach the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique and the Spirit Law level version of the Chaos Technique, the public had differing opinions.
Some were deeply worried, suffering in anguish, while others remained optimistic, believing that the heavy criminals sent by the Federal Parliament would soon resolve the issue.
Moreover, even if Yi Chen’s talent fades, generations of genius among humanity will stand on the shoulders of this giant and continue to develop these cultivation methods.
As for whether it truly will happen that way, only Yi Chen knows for sure.

“even if Yi Chen’s talent would decline and he could no longer create new skills. Even if he refuses to teach more skills, if all the heavy criminals sent to approach him fail, the cultivation methods won’t be cut off; it will just develop more slowly.”
To say ‘more slowly’ is an understatement. The entire human race couldn’t even compare to 1% of his abilities. Unless humanity produces another genius like him—a rarity so extraordinary that no known person has ever reached that level of talent—it would be impossible, not just slow.
