Hearing this, a trace of joy immediately flashed across Luo Fan's face.
His biggest problem right now was secret techniques.
With his current foundation, creating secret techniques on his own was still quite difficult.
Of course, this referred to Immortal-level pinnacle secret techniques, or even Immortal-level ultimate secret techniques.
If it were only to create a single ordinary Immortal-level secret technique, or even a top-tier one, it would not be much of a problem for Luo Fan.
After all, his current comprehension ability was already comparable to that of a once-in-ten-million-eras genius.
However, Immortal-level pinnacle secret techniques and Immortal-level ultimate secret techniques were still extremely difficult.
Now, the Lord of Icepeak had specifically prepared a large number of secret techniques for him to study and accumulate experience.
Moreover, he had even tailor-made opponents for Luo Fan.
He would also personally provide guidance.
Under such conditions, the difficulty of Luo Fan creating his own secret techniques would be greatly reduced.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Luo Fan respectfully bowed to the Lord of Icepeak.
The Lord of Icepeak shook his head and continued.
"Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher."
"Besides that, I see that you have also been researching the Water–Space Fusion Law?"
When challenging the Sky Mountain and the Sky-Piercing Bridge, Luo Fan had indeed applied part of the Water–Space Fusion Law in combat.
However, Tide Blade King's Tidal Blade Battle Art merely combined the Water Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
There was a vast difference in power between simple combination and true fusion.
This was also one of the reasons why the Tidal Blade Battle Art could not unleash Luo Fan's full strength.
Luo Fan nodded.
"Yes, Teacher. Due to certain opportunities, I began comprehending the Water–Space Beast God Path."
Hearing this, the Lord of Icepeak fell silent for a moment before speaking.
"The human race does not possess a complete Beast God Path inheritance."
"So if you choose this path, it will be extremely difficult."
"With your talent, if you follow the traditional path, there is still a chance of becoming a Universe Master."
"So are you certain you want to continue down this path?"
Hearing this, Luo Fan's eyes were filled with determination.
"Yes, Teacher."
The Lord of Icepeak sighed softly and continued.
"Since you have made your decision, I will not stop you."
"Among the human race, there are very few cultivators who walk the Beast God Path."
"Your Fifth Senior Brother once also walked the Water–Space Beast God Path."
"Although he later switched to the traditional path."
"His Water–Space Beast God Path comprehension still barely reached the fifth level."
"I have already instructed him that if you have questions, you can accumulate them. Every ten years, he will go and guide you once."
Hearing this, Luo Fan was immediately overjoyed.
For the Beast God Path, having guidance versus cultivating alone made a tremendous difference.
Even though he possessed the Water–Space Beast God statue for comprehension,
he would still encounter difficulties.
Just like comprehending a Chaos Stele, problems were inevitable.
Under normal circumstances, he could only resolve them on his own.
Even if he asked the Lord of Icepeak or the Xuan Ice Revered One, they could only rely on their powerful law comprehension to provide some high-level advice and inspiration.
Directly resolving specific doubts was much more difficult.
After all, both the Lord of Icepeak and the Xuan Ice Revered One followed the traditional Space–Time Path.
The Lord of Icepeak mainly followed a path that combined the Water Origin Law with the Space–Time Origin Law.
"If you can raise your Water–Space Beast God Path comprehension to the third level before breaking through to Immortality,"
"I can send you to a place that possesses a complete Beast God Path for cultivation."
Hearing this, Luo Fan immediately knew that the Lord of Icepeak was referring to the Ancestral God Sect.
However, he already possessed a Beast God Inheritance Token.
As a result, he was not particularly excited about this matter.
The Lord of Icepeak also noticed Luo Fan's reaction, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
However, he did not ask further.
Everyone had their own secrets, especially an unparalleled genius like Luo Fan.
"Alright, go study the secret techniques I gave you first."
"After you have learned them all, then begin attempting to create your own secret techniques."
"As for your Fifth Senior Brother, he will go to your manor to find you later."
Seeing that the Lord of Icepeak had issued a dismissal, Luo Fan took his leave from the two and departed.
After leaving Thunder Island, Luo Fan directly teleported to the Primal Region.
He was eager to quickly see the secret techniques that the Lord of Icepeak had given him.
However, before that, he needed to establish a task.
[Task: Obtain the large number of secret techniques gifted by the Lord of Icepeak. Reward: Secret Technique Creator's Insight.]
Looking at the reward, Luo Fan was momentarily confused.
What kind of reward was this?
Creator's insight?
Did it mean insight into creating secret techniques?
Luo Fan guessed as much while looking at the reward.
After thinking about it, he stopped speculating.
He would find out soon enough anyway.
He headed straight to his manor.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Slake and other members of the guard team helping to move boxes.
"Your Highness, you're back?"
Slake respectfully saluted when he saw Luo Fan.
"These are all your belongings."
"They were delivered not long ago."
"They all seem to be secret techniques."
"I had the guard team move them directly into your cultivation room."
Hearing this, Luo Fan nodded and headed toward the cultivation room.
After entering the cultivation room, he saw a large number of metal boxes inside.
He knew that every one of these boxes contained secret techniques.
Even after he arrived, members of the guard team were still coming and going.
After some time, they finally finished moving all the secret techniques.
Once all the secret techniques had been moved in, the sound of task completion echoed in Luo Fan's mind.
Without hesitation, he immediately claimed all the rewards.
His main body and two avatars were already prepared to receive a massive influx of insight.
Luo Fan was long accustomed to the process of receiving insight.
However, he waited for quite a while and did not receive any system-granted insight.
He felt puzzled.
At that moment, he noticed that more than ten thousand small spheres had appeared in his system space.
These spheres were all transparent, with faint cloud-like mist swirling inside them.
Perplexed, Luo Fan directly accessed the system's description of this reward.
Very quickly, excitement surged within him.
These spheres were the so-called "Secret Technique Creator's Insight."
This task's reward was different from previous ones.
This time, the insight could be revisited repeatedly.
When using these insights, one could experience the creator's thoughts during the creation of the secret technique.
It was as if one were personally creating the technique oneself.
Each of these spheres corresponded to one of the more than ten thousand secret techniques that the Lord of Icepeak had sent him.
Yes, the Lord of Icepeak had given Luo Fan over ten thousand secret techniques.
Some of these secret techniques were worth only a few hundred points, while others were worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of points.
Altogether, their total value reached several tens of quadrillions of points.
After looking through them, even Luo Fan was stunned.
He knew that the Lord of Icepeak would give him a large number of secret techniques.
After all, even in the original work, when Luo Feng was creating secret techniques, A certain King had given him secret techniques with a total value of eight billion points.
The Lord of Icepeak was even more generous.
Among these more than ten thousand secret techniques, almost all were techniques that combined the Water Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
As for Water–Space Beast God Path secret techniques, there were only a few.
Moreover, they were all relatively low-level.
The strongest among them only contained comprehension up to the fourth level of the Water–Space Beast God Path.
In contrast, there were many techniques that combined the Water Origin Law and the Space Origin Law.
The strongest among them was called Icepeak.
It was a combat secret technique personally created by the Lord of Icepeak.
Its value reached eight hundred billion points.
Moreover, it could not be discounted.
Aside from these, there were also several other secret techniques.
These were purely combat-oriented techniques.
They mainly focused on the use of the Space Origin Law.
Luo Fan took a look. These more than ten thousand secret techniques covered palm techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, spear techniques, claw techniques, and more.
Almost every type of secret technique was included.
Although he had not yet studied them,
he believed that each of these techniques possessed its own unique merits.
At that moment, he received another email.
He discovered that it was sent by the Lord of Icepeak.
The subprogram of his mechanical-race avatar automatically received it.
After reading the email, a trace of emotion immediately appeared in Luo Fan's eyes.
This email contained annotations personally marked by the Lord of Icepeak.
It detailed the strengths and weaknesses of each of the more than ten thousand secret techniques.
It also highlighted aspects that were suitable for Luo Fan to reference.
In addition, the Lord of Icepeak had specifically marked which techniques were most suitable for Luo Fan to study.
Most of them were blade techniques and Water–Space fusion techniques.
The annotations for each secret technique were extremely detailed.
After reading through them, warmth welled up in Luo Fan's heart.
Although the Lord of Icepeak usually appeared indifferent and spoke little, and did not chat casually with him like Tide Blade King did,
his care for Luo Fan was not inferior in the slightest.
This was evident from these annotations.
They had clearly been written entirely for Luo Fan.
They included detailed notes on law application and blade technique usage.
All the suggestions were tailored specifically to Luo Fan's law comprehension and chosen path.
At that moment, Luo Fan noticed that the guard team at the door had begun moving boxes inside again.
He was momentarily stunned.
Could it be that the Lord of Icepeak still had secret techniques that had not been delivered?
This batch only contained a little over two hundred secret techniques.
The most valuable among them were several techniques worth close to one hundred billion points.
Altogether, their total value was around three hundred billion points.
A trace of confusion flashed through Luo Fan's eyes.
That did not seem right.
His task had already been completed, which meant that the earlier batch should have been all of them.
At that moment, he received yet another email.
This time, it was from Tide Blade King.
Only then did he finally understand what these secret techniques were.
These techniques had been given to him by Tide Blade King and Grandor.
They had guessed that Luo Fan was about to begin creating his own secret techniques.
Thus, they had specially selected these techniques for him.
Many of these secret techniques even overlapped with those chosen by the Lord of Icepeak.
Although they did not annotate each technique in detail like the Lord of Icepeak had,
the sheer cost of these techniques alone had already emptied most of Tide Blade King's and Grandor's accumulated wealth.
