Astral Ship, Captain's Room.

As with boats moving on the sea, the captain's cabin is the best place on the entire ship, spacious, bright and comfortable.

Dean leaned back in a high-backed chair and was flipping through a sheepskin scroll.

"The Law of Hidden Life"!

This is roughly what the old text above would mean if translated into the Godetz script that Dean was familiar with.

Dean read word by word, occasionally looking through some of the information next to him, checking what he read, and trying to keep his understanding in the most correct range.

The reason why it's within the range, not to a certain point.

It's because the ancient text on it is too illegible.

There are magical characters, characters from the Godez script, and even characters that Dean has never seen or heard of.

And when these are combined, any polymath will have a headache.

Not to mention Dean.

In fact, if Gray hadn't told him about the contents of "The Hidden Law of Life" beforehand and recommended a lot of references, Dean would still be at a loss.

As for Dean's proposal to read and check by himself, Gray did not have the slightest objection, and even simply gave up the captain's room and let Dean check it by himself.

After all, the entire astral ship, only here are many books.

And, it's the most suitable.

Of course, because of Gray's previous agreement to 'lend books' to Dean.

Call!

Dean let out a long breath and put down the parchment roll in his hand, and. Rub between the eyebrows and temples.

Read such an ancient text. It's not an easy job.

In particular, it is necessary to understand the meaning. This makes this even more difficult.

Even Dean, who thinks he loves to read, is a little overwhelmed.

If it were someone else who didn't love books, I'm afraid it would be hysterical at this time.

However, there is always a reward for the effort.

First, Dean can confirm that Gray didn't do anything about the Hidden Law of Life.

Second, although the "Life Hidden Method" is extremely magical, it is still a secret art. At most, it is a very special secret technique, which is in the same vein as many of Goddez's secret techniques.

At the very least, Dean saw some shadow of the [Shadow Call] in it.

However, the "Life Hidden Method" is more clever than the [Shadow Calling Technique] I don't know how many times.

[Shadow Calling Technique] is to hide itself, while "Life Hidden Method" is to hide all your own lives, so that those who only search by perception have no way to start.

Because, in the perception of the other person, you are a stone.

Of course, to reach this level, you must at least cultivate the "Life Hidden Method" to a considerable level.

Third. And the point that surprised Dean the most was that "The Law of Latent Life" was incomplete.

Or to be more precise. The Life Hidden Method is just the basis of some kind of secret art!

And after seeing this, Dean almost subconsciously thought of the [Power of the Mountain]!

Direct access to the [Mountain Spirit] of the 'Secret Realm of the Gods'!

Of course, this was just Dean's intuition.

The specific situation still needs to look at the final cultivation.

And this is naturally not a difficult thing for Dean.

[Do you consume 3000XP to learn the "Life Hidden Method"?] 】

[Consumes 3000XP to obtain Life Concealment Lv1]

[Life Hidden Method Lv1: The best way to hide is definitely not the hiding of body shape and breath, but life!] Special Effect: Nothingness]

[Nothingness: A search that ignores perceptions below 5]

Dean took the parchment roll and chose to study directly.

That's right, this parchment is the original that Gray brought out of Defendillane.

By the time Dean agreed, the parchment was already Dean's property, along with the other books in the cabin.

For Gray, these books, which he had already read, were so cost-effective in exchange for a helper like Dean.

Knowledge is power!

Gray won't deny that.

But everyone has another interpretation of this sentence: knowledge is power, yes, but knowledge does not immediately gain power, and knowledge lets you know the way to gain power.

Gray is naturally no exception.

So, he indifferently sent his collection of books to Dean's hands.

Because, Gray, who used to be the owner of these books, knew very well that although there were several extremely precious secret techniques in his collection, the cultivation of each one was extremely difficult.

The cultivation difficulty of each one is no less than that of the "Life Hidden Method"!

Even for him, it took nearly twenty years to complete the cultivation of these secret techniques.

For Dean, Gray will not deny the other party's talent.

After all, it is a miracle that in a remote place like Goddez, it can reach the level of the current 'domain'.

However, Gray didn't think Dean would be able to successfully cultivate these secret techniques in a short period of time.

In fact, Gray only hoped that Dean would be able to get started with the Life Hidden Method before he arrived at Dfendiland.

It's just that Gray is far from thinking that Dean has a system.

A system that only needs to be written by the original author and is considered a magical artifact, and can be learned and improved by spending XP.

Dean looked at the characteristics of the [Life Concealment Method], and then, began to allocate XP points.

[Consumes 80000XP points, Life Concealment Lv1→Lv13]

[Life Hidden Method Lv13: The best way to hide is definitely not the concealment of body shape and breath, but life!] Special Effect: Nothingness]

[Nothingness: Ignore the search of perception below 60, in the face of perception search above 60, a judgment of perception + (perception + will)/2 will be carried out, if it is equal to or greater than the perception of the other party, the perception of the other party will not be able to search for your existence]

(Note: No special options)

Without hesitation, Dean raised the level of the [Life Concealment Method] to the highest level available.

After all. That's what Dean needs most.

Facing those few pseudo-gods who can't be defeated at the moment. Dean was only able to hide himself deeper.

And the [Life Hidden Method] did not disappoint Dean. The [Nothingness] characteristic at lv13 caused the corners of Dean's mouth to turn up.

"Ignore the perception search below 60, and the perception above 60 needs to reach at least 77.74 to be able to search for my existence, and as my perception and will increase, this value will increase more and more......"

Dean, who consumed 80,000 XP points, felt that it was worth the money at this time.

Because, according to Dean's inference. Most of the attribute values of those pseudo-gods are around 70-80.

"If I only need to improve my sense or will a little, I don't need to worry about being discovered!"

Dean thought, and glanced at his XP -

109000XP！

The XP value is still enough, and subconsciously, Dean's eyes looked at the three secret methods and secret traditions that he had selected in advance and put together with the [Life Hidden Method].

"Soul Eye", "Thousand Blows", "Dominic Body"!

Dean didn't read these three secret techniques and secret legends carefully, but just roughly flipped through them and had a preliminary understanding of them.

"The Eye of the Soul": Seeing things with the soul. Distinguish the real from the fake.

Thousand Strikes: Increases the speed of attacks to be able to attack at the end of the day. Achieve the effect of a thousand hits in an instant.

"Dominic Body Technique": This is a scroll that combines secret techniques and secret traditions, which not only has the part of forging the body, but also has matching moves, which is very complete.

Among them, "Dominic Physique" was put aside by Dean first.

Although it is complete, it has become a system of its own, and it may be possible to add it to other systems.

But Dean didn't have that time, and the fighting style in it was not what Dean was used to.

Therefore, if you learn from it, Dean has no problem, but if you want to learn, Dean doesn't have such an idea for the time being.

The second one that was put aside was the "Thousand Strikes", a thousand strikes in a moment is naturally a great attack, but that was in the complete situation, and the "Thousand Strikes" in front of him was far from reaching that level, at most it was a hundred blows!

And to this extent, Dean can do it if he gives it his all.

So, I won't consider it for the time being.

Of course, the more important reason is Eyes of the Soul!

According to Dean's understanding, this secret technique that can improve perception and will is what Dean needs most at the moment.

Picking up the tea next to him, Dean took a slight sip, picked up the parchment scroll that recorded "The Eye of the Soul", and began to read it carefully.

……

At this time, Gray, who was in the first mate's room, was thinking about whether there was a loophole in the Defendilan plan, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the captain's room next door.

In his perception, Dean had just vanished for a moment, and it was a few minutes before he reappeared.

Gray is all too familiar with this phenomenon.

【Life Hidden Method】Dacheng!

Only the [Life Hidden Method] can achieve such an effect.

"The [Life Hidden Method] has been completed?!"

Gray muttered in disbelief.

Gray believes that if it weren't for his advanced [Life Hidden Method], he would probably have lost his perception of Dean at this time.

But even so, Gray was in disbelief.

After all, it took him nearly three years to cultivate the [Life Hidden Method] to the fullest, and after that, it took countless years for the [Life Hidden Method] to advance, and he just started a while ago.

If Dean cultivated, how long would it take?

Such thoughts rose irrepressibly from the bottom of Gray's heart.

After a moment, though, Gray chuckled again.

"That's fine! Only in this way can my plan be more fruitful! ”

Gray muttered to himself.

Then, ignoring everything else, he concentrated on perfecting his plan.
