Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 119 Hidden Cultivation
Ok?
The inner palace of the city lord's palace

Along the wide corridor, we quickly arrived at a square paved with chaotic rocks.

What surprised Jiang Ye was that the person standing in the square was not his most familiar second senior brother.

Instead, there stood a giant man who was nearly nine meters tall, with six arms and six eyes.

The giant carried a golden axe on his back that was almost as tall as himself. There were extremely complex military patterns on the axe. The terrible evil spirit spread from the axe, occasionally tearing the surrounding space apart.

Looking at the man's appearance and temperament, Jiang Ye instantly understood, walked up to the giant and saluted respectfully.

"Jiang Ye, meet Brother Nine!"

That’s right, this giant is none other than the Golden Axe Master, one of the 25 disciples of the Lord of Chaos who are considered to be universe masters.

"You are the junior disciple that the teacher has recently accepted! Not bad! Not bad!" Venerable Golden Axe looked Jiang Ye up and down, nodded, and then pointed to the deep courtyard in the distance and said: "The teacher is waiting for you inside, go in!"

"Thank you, Ninth Brother!" Jiang Ye bowed respectfully.
Then he turned and walked towards a quiet courtyard.

Standing in front of the courtyard "Chaos Ruins".

One step in.

Boom!
As time and space changed, Jiang Ye appeared on a vast continent of ruins, with corpses of hundreds of millions of tribes scattered all over the place. In the distance, a figure was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

"Disciple Jiang Ye greets the teacher." Jiang Ye tried his best to avoid stepping on the corpses under his feet, walked forward and saluted respectfully.

The figure slowly stood up.

Turning to look at Jiang Ye, the pair of eyes on that ferocious face were still as gentle as jade. The Chaos City Lord smiled and nodded: "How do you feel about this outing?"

"Teacher, after this experience, I feel that my current strength is still far behind those strong ones, so I have no power to fight back against those alien assassinations." Jiang Ye said solemnly: "It is also thanks to the teacher that he sent my second brother to protect me secretly."

The Chaos City Lord's voice was low and cold, with a hint of barely perceptible anger: "These damn alien races are becoming more and more rampant. But this is also the norm in the universe. Only if you are strong enough can you survive in this cruel environment."

After saying that, he raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Ye: "Are you planning to cultivate to the level of a Realm Master in Chaos City?"

"Yes, teacher. I plan to improve my understanding of the laws first, break through the domain lord-level original Tongtian Mountain, and then break through the realm lord. At that time, I will create my own secret method!" Jiang Ye respectfully stated his plan.

"Yes!" The Lord of Chaos City nodded, "Just to comprehend the laws, the complete set of "Universe and Time" secrets are enough for you to use! If you have any questions, you can ask me in my palace on Thunder Island in the virtual universe. As for the self-created secrets, come to Chaos Ruins once on the day you reach the realm master level and on the day you are about to leave Chaos City." The Lord of Chaos City said.

"Yes." Jiang Ye took note.

"You can leave now." The Chaos City Lord said with a faint smile.

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Jiang Yelian responded.

brush!
The Lord of Chaos City directly moved Jiang Ye out of Chaos Ruins.

There was only one person left in this ruined continent, the Chaos City Lord. Looking at the vast ruins and the corpses of hundreds of millions of ethnic strongmen, the Chaos City Lord sat cross-legged again, sitting silently...

Jiang Ye felt the time and space changing before his eyes, and in an instant he was standing at the entrance of the Chaos Ruins courtyard.

"To the Realm Lord?" Jiang Ye murmured, then exited the Chaos Palace and headed straight for the Chaos Monument in the outer palace.

"Oh, it's you! Jiang Ye!"

Suddenly, a hearty voice broke the silence around Chaos Palace.

Jiang Ye looked up and saw a three-eyed old man standing in front of the tall, majestic, ancient and heavy bronze door. It was Kendri who was guarding the Chaos Monument.

"Lord Kendri!" Jiang Ye bowed to the old man.

"Oh, I'm at the domain lord level! Time flies!" Kandri couldn't help but sigh as he felt the aura emanating from Jiang Ye.

"You are here to comprehend the Chaos Monument, right? Wait a moment, a group of people who are comprehending inside will come out soon."

……

Ten days later

There are countless training residences in Chaos City, one of which is on the rooftop of one of the training residences.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, "Well, not bad, it turns out that the speed of comprehending the laws in Chaos City is much faster than in the original universe."

After a brief moment of joy, Jiang Ye devoted himself wholeheartedly to the years of cultivation in Chaos City.

Like the practitioners around him who have been practicing for countless years, Jiang Ye also sits cross-legged on the rooftop of his practice residence every day, occasionally looking up at the sky to watch the external laws of the universe operate.

Sometimes I watch the secret method of "Cosmic Space and Time" in the virtual universe.

Carefully comprehend the laws of time and space contained therein.

He repeatedly pondered the context of every law and the profound meaning of every character, not missing any subtle details, as if he was a devout scholar exploring the truth of the universe.

Then, every other year, he would go to the City Lord's Mansion to personally inspect the Chaos Monument...

Just like that, during his time in Chaos City, Jiang Ye's cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds, and was several times faster than when he was in the original universe.

Time passed quietly like a gurgling stream. Jiang Ye, who was devoted to cultivation, was like a machine that was extremely precise, taking one step at a time, steadily moving towards the peak of cultivation. He was also like a long-dried desert that was in urgent need of nourishment, madly absorbing the rich "nutrients" contained in this chaotic city, tirelessly and without stopping.

…………

In a blink of an eye, nearly 10 years have passed since Jiang Ye came to the original universe.

Chaos City, a majestic, ancient and vicissitudes of life mansion.

In the spacious courtyard, thousands of practitioners sat cross-legged on the ground in an orderly manner. They came from different races among the human race and wore different costumes, but they all had focused expressions and stared into the distance.

A tall man, about 11 or 12 meters tall, was lecturing nonstop. He looked quite strange, with a single horn on his head and his entire body covered in white crystals.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I always felt that the application of this law was not smooth!"

Jiang Ye also sat cross-legged among the crowd, his face calm but his eyes focused.

As the big man explained, Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of realization from time to time. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of joy. It was obvious that he gained a lot from this class.

The giant who is giving the lecture... is a powerful man who has come to listen to Jiang Ye's lectures in Chaos City in recent years. This powerful man is "Ye Jing Wang", who is quite famous in Chaos City. He is definitely the true pinnacle existence among the king-level immortals and has passed the 20th level of the Universe Bridge.

As one of the few invincible kings who can explain the Chaos Monument of the Universe, King Ye Jing always attracts many people to listen to his lectures.

It’s strange to say, for some reason, King Ye Jing explained all the problems that Jiang Ye had encountered recently.

This attracted Jiang Ye to come and attend classes frequently.

"Today's class ends here." The powerful voice of King Ye Jing sounded slowly. He smiled and glanced at everyone. Finally, he looked at Jiang Ye deeply and then slowly stood up.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Thousands of practitioners who were listening to the lecture below shouted in unison. Most of them were immortal gods, and the rest were geniuses from various forces. They all looked extremely respectful and bowed to express their gratitude to King Ye Jing.

After all, these strong men are giving lectures on a voluntary basis. It is a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to listen to their teachings, so we should naturally be grateful.

King Ye Jing smiled and slowly left with his disciples, whose eyes were filled with admiration and awe.

The thousands of practitioners who had originally gathered in the square also began to stand up in groups of three or four and walk out of the mansion.

"Hey, Toka, that must be Jiang Ye, right? Although I'm in the Giant Axe Arena, I've heard of his name, but today is the first time I've seen him in person. Wow, I heard that he could pass through the twelfth-level Tongtian Bridge when he was at the cosmic level, it's really terrifying!
Oh, by the way, you are also a member of the Territory Master of the Original Secret Realm, so you must be familiar with him, right? Can you introduce him to me? "In the distance, two men were talking in a low voice.

One of the men was slightly fat, with three soft tentacles on his forehead that swayed gently as he moved. His reddish skin was quite eye-catching under the light. At this moment, he was smiling, his eyes looking in the direction of Jiang Ye.

The other man was thin and dressed in a cold black battle armor. He exuded an aura of indifference that kept people at a distance.

"Well, he is indeed the master of the Original Secret Realm. There are 11 members of the "Original Secret Realm", my virtual master company." The thin man said coldly, "He just rose from the universe level and has never participated in a qualifying battle, so I am not familiar with him at all."

"Oh, in that case, should we take the initiative to get to know this genius?" The slightly fat man frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said softly.

"Humph, he just passed the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge. Every three levels of the Tongtian Bridge is a big obstacle. Jiang Ye has not made any movement for a long time, so he must be stuck here!" The thin man snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, "In this world, there are countless examples of people who were brilliant at first, but quickly became mediocre."

"That's right." The slightly fat man nodded. Jiang Ye, who was walking out with the crowd in the distance, moved his ears and heard the conversation clearly. It was obvious that "Toka" didn't want to cover it up at all.

"Why do these guys deserve a slap in the face?" Jiang Ye secretly complained in his heart.

In fact, over the years, Jiang Ye has understood in his heart that the ten elders in this domain lord-level primitive secret realm all have more or less some resistance to him.

After all, among these ten people, the one who seemed to be the strongest had only passed the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Even if we include those strong people who have concealed their strength in an attempt to surprise everyone and make a splash in the qualifying round, the number would probably not exceed four.

Compared to Jiang Ye, who had already passed the twelve-story Tongtian Bridge, these people were naturally vulnerable.

Therefore, Jiang Ye will definitely occupy a "main-level spot in the original secret realm".

Among the four secret realms, the original secret realm is the most noble.

Universe level, domain lord level, realm lord level! Obviously, the competition for the "Original Secret Realm Lord" is the most brutal, and it involves the allocation of a large amount of resources.

Someone like Jiang Ye who firmly occupies a spot... of course makes the 10 old men, who are also extraordinary geniuses, secretly unhappy.

After all, they all want to become the master of the original secret realm in the future!
　You will soon reach the realm master level, Qiankun Ding, which can upgrade the immortal weapon to a heavy treasure, and the heavy treasure to a supreme treasure. However, the upgrade takes time. Now we are soliciting opinions. What do you think the time limit is?

　　I set
　　Realm Master Level,
　　It takes 10 years for an Immortal Divine Weapon to be upgraded to a common treasure, and 100 years for it to be upgraded to a top treasure due to its poor quality. As for a treasure that is already a treasure and wants to be upgraded to a top treasure, it also takes years.

　　As for the top treasure, it takes 1000 years to upgrade to ordinary treasure. (Note: this is the realm master level.)
　　Immortal

　　The above time is reduced by ten times. That is, 1 year, 10 years, 100 years

　　It takes 1000 years for an ordinary treasure to be upgraded to a high-level treasure, 10000 years for a high-level treasure to be upgraded to a top-level treasure, and years for a top-level treasure to be upgraded to a pinnacle treasure.
　　Lord
