Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 131 Courage
In Chaos City, inside Jiang Ye’s training residence.

"The internal staff of Virtual Universe Company is really efficient. I only submitted the application for one day, and this nutrient capsule and more than 8,000 bottles of nutrient solution were delivered!" Jiang Ye looked at the extremely huge and quaint nutrient capsule in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

With a crisp "crash" sound, the hatch of the nutrient compartment automatically rose up slowly.

Inside the cabin, the dark brown liquid filled up, accounting for about one fifth of the cabin's volume. An invisible heat blew towards him, causing Jiang Ye to frown subconsciously.

He stretched out his hand curiously and slowly approached the nutrient solution.

As soon as their fingertips touched, there was a "hiss" sound and a scorching heat instantly came. Jiang Ye was secretly shocked. The temperature must be at least a thousand degrees!

At the same time, when the fingers touched the nutrient solution, the cells at the fingertips seemed to cheer and jump for joy, as if they were greedily absorbing the energy brought by this mysterious liquid.

"It's worthy of being the highest-grade nutrient solution specially formulated by the Virtual Universe Company! Just looking at the effect, it's good." Jiang Ye secretly admired in his heart. Then, he quickly took off all his clothes, walked barefoot into the nutrient cabin, and slowly lay down.

In an instant, the boiling dark brown nutrient solution was like a surging tide, instantly wrapping Jiang Ye's whole body tightly. The strange dark brown substance penetrated into his body along his skin, penetrating into his muscles, bones, membranes and even internal organs...

The whole body, from the inside out, is changing at an astonishing speed.

If an ordinary person simply absorbs energy from the outside world normally, it will take hundreds of thousands of years for him to evolve from the first level of Realm Lord to the ninth level of Realm Lord.

However, the nutrient solution that the Virtual Universe Company spent huge amounts of treasures to prepare for all the secret realm members of the company can enable all of this to be accomplished within just a few months.

The dark brown nutrient solution that Jiang Ye was soaking in at this moment was specially tailored for him. Compared with the ordinary nutrient solution provided by the Virtual Universe Company to other members of the Original Secret Realm, the absorption time was greatly shortened by ten times.

Of course, such an effective nutrient solution is naturally very expensive.

It is much more expensive than ordinary nutrient solution, and in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is even a bit "luxurious". If you are not careful, it may cause huge waste.

For this reason, the Virtual Universe Company will not provide this kind of nutrient solution. If members of the secret realm want to use this high-end nutrient solution, they must pay an additional high fee.

Of course, as the direct disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, he had a free quota, so it was equivalent to not spending a penny.

"Well, with this nutrient solution, it will probably only take five years to complete the evolution." Jiang Ye felt the progress of his body absorbing the nutrient solution, and then calculated an approximate time.

In just five years, Jiang Ye, whose life gene level is eight thousand times higher, can be promoted from the first level of Realm Lord to the ninth level of Realm Lord. This time is already very fast!
…………

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, nearly ten years have passed since Jiang Ye broke through to become a Realm Master, and nearly thirty years have also passed in the original universe.

During this period of time, Jiang Ye stayed in Chaos City and meditated on the laws of time and space.

Occasionally, he would go to the City Lord's Mansion to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe.

In the virtual universe, in Manor No. 113, on the wide training ground
Jiang Ye was dressed in tight clothes, with a stern look on his face, and holding a simple long sword tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, Jiang Ye's body shook violently, and then he pounced forward like a black lightning.

At this time, in the training ground, a space-time nightmare beast simulated by a virtual system, with strength reaching the primary level of immortality, was waiting in full battle formation.

Time and Space Nightmare Beast: One of the eighteen royal families of the demon race, it can reach the domain lord level when it reaches adulthood, with four thick hooves and claws, and its body is covered with scales. It has two heads, one with golden pupils and the other with silver pupils. The golden pupils can affect space, and the silver pupils can affect time. Once the golden and silver pupils are deployed at the same time, they have strong control over the surrounding time and space. Once combined with the field of laws, they can double the power of the field of laws.

Although it is far inferior to the talent of the Destroyer Beast, "Time Stop", and the talent of the Golden Horned Beast, "Doppelganger", the number of Space-Time Nightmare Beasts is much greater than that of the Destroyer Beast and the Golden Horned Beast.

"Wind Shadow Glimpse!"

Jiang Ye shouted in a low voice. He tapped his feet lightly, and his figure floated like a ghost, instantly approaching the Space-Time Nightmare Beast.

The ancient long sword in his hand was wrapped in a sharp sword wind, just like an angry dragon, piercing straight into the golden eyes of the time and space nightmare beast.

The Space-Time Nightmare Beast reacted extremely quickly. Its golden pupils flashed, and the space around Jiang Ye instantly began to ripple, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake.

His sword force suddenly stagnated in this twisted space, as if he was stuck in an invisible quagmire. But Jiang Ye did not panic. The power of the spatial law in his body surged, and he forcibly broke through the spatial constraints and continued to stab with his sword.

Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch the golden pupil, the silver pupil of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast burst into a dazzling silver light. In an instant, Jiang Ye felt that the flow of time was disrupted, and his movements seemed to be slowed down several times.

"No trace first appeared"

As Jiang Ye shouted, a layer of strange light suddenly appeared on the ancient sword, and that light seemed to be able to quietly erase all traces.

In this chaotic flow of time, the trajectory of the sword became blurred and difficult to distinguish, as if it had transcended the constraints of time and space.

The sword's force was like a surging wave. Although the silver eyes of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast interfered with time, it could not stop this sword that contained powerful force of laws.

As a secret technique created by the master of the Sky Eclipse Palace, the top overlord of the universe, each of these seven moves has reached the level of ultimate secret technique.

Although the simulated space-time nightmare beast in front of him has reached the level of immortality, and is blessed with innate secret skills and five times the life gene level, it would definitely crush an ordinary realm master.

Unfortunately, the secret method he used was only at the ordinary level, which was three levels away from the ultimate secret level.

The huge advantage in secret techniques is enough to make up for the gap in basic strength.

Just as the sword containing the powerful force of law was about to hit the Space-Time Nightmare Beast, Jiang Ye suddenly felt a slight lag in the operation of the force of law in his body. The originally smooth sword force suddenly stagnated like a huge rock in a turbulent river.

The faint light dimmed a little in an instant, and the trajectory of the sword became clearly visible again, no longer blurry as if it transcended time and space.

The Space-Time Nightmare Beast keenly noticed Jiang Ye's flaw. The light in its golden pupils became brighter, and an even more powerful force of space distortion surged out, tightly binding Jiang Ye's body.

Jiang Ye felt as if he was stuffed into a narrow space. The bones all over his body made a "creaking" sound, as if they would be crushed at any time.

At the same time, the silver eyes of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast were not idle either. The flow of time became more chaotic, and Jiang Ye's thinking seemed to become slow.

Finally, with a dull roar, Jiang Ye's body was completely turned into powder under the double attack of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast and dissipated in this virtual training ground.

Only the ancient long sword was left, and it fell with a "clang", making a crisp and lonely echo in the silent training ground.

"Alas! I was too impatient. This ultimate secret method is really not that easy to practice." In the distance, Jiang Ye's figure reappeared. He looked at the empty training ground and couldn't help but sigh.

Over the past decade or so, Jiang Ye not only devoted himself to comprehending the laws of time and space, but also spent most of his time watching and learning various secret techniques.

Among them, "The Traceless Sword Canon" was the object of his intensive practice.

"Huh, I didn't expect it would take me ten years to just learn the basics of this first move." Jiang Ye sighed, thinking back to his previous mistake.

Although Jiang Ye gained a lot from his years of meditation in Chaos City, his understanding of the laws... was just theory.

Theory is important.

The method of applying theory (secret method) is also very important.

The secret method is the method used in combat. Take the "Traceless Sword Classic" for example. It was created by the Palace Master of Tianshi and is most suitable for him.

Because Jiang Ye was also practicing the Dao of Time and Space, the seven sword moves in the "Traceless Sword Canon" were more suitable for him.

However, as the ultimate secret method, even though Jiang Ye has an incredible talent, it is impossible for him to practice it successfully in such a short time.

"The Qingfeng Sword Technique that I learned back then was only at an ordinary level close to the top, and I had already reached the level of the founder. However, the Qingfeng Sword Technique has no limits in theory. It is purely four directions of sword techniques - Gentle Breeze, Wind Shadow, Flowing Wind and Returning Snow, and Gentle Wind Breaking Through the Clouds. These four sword techniques are four different paths that can be continuously extended..." Jiang Ye murmured to himself, falling into deep memories.

"It's too much for me to learn the ultimate swordsmanship right from the start."

The ultimate secret skill? Although it is very difficult to learn.

But relying on the power of the ultimate martial arts, it is at least better than the general top-level martial arts created by oneself, so Jiang Ye wanted to directly learn the sword style in "The Traceless Sword Classic", but obviously the result proved that Jiang Ye made a wrong decision.

"Why not change my thinking and first follow the four sword styles of Qingfeng Sword Technique and make improvements to raise its level. With this foundation, I can then go to Teacher Hun Dun to teach me how to create my own secret technique."…………

After clarifying the route, the next step is to spend energy on research.

Jiang Ye began a frantic research.
"Atlas of Space and Time" and "Taixu Space and Time Sutra" both contain sword techniques that contain the laws of space and time...research.

Many of the ordinary secret techniques that the Lord of Chaos City gave to Jiang Ye also include sword techniques. Although they are not as profound as the "Qingfeng Sword Technique", Jiang Ye still studied them carefully.

What Jiang Ye needs now is to learn from and accumulate experience in creating secret methods. Reading more ideas about various secret methods of creation will help broaden his horizons.

Watch various videos of sword warriors fighting with secret techniques, and then integrate them into your own understanding of the laws of time and space.

The power of the four sword styles of "Qingfeng Sword Technique" is constantly increasing.

However, in addition to practicing the secret technique, Jiang Ye did not forget his main task, which was to comprehend the sixth picture of the Chaos Monument of the Universe.

...............

time flies by,
Five years after the initial universe, Jiang Ye successfully pushed the first move of Qingfeng Sword Technique to the top level.

……

Another ten years later, the second style of Qingfeng Sword Technique was successfully modified.

.........

Fifty years after Jiang Ye broke through to the realm master level, Jiang Ye finally pushed the four sword styles of Qingfeng Sword Technique to the top level.

…………

Just when Jiang Ye was deducing the secret method and comprehending the laws in Chaos City.

Yuxiang Mountain, as the gathering place of the top talents in the virtual universe company, all the secret realm members will come here to relax after training and inquire about other information.

At this time, a piece of news made this already lively place even more popular.

That means Luo Feng became the domain master.

As a genius of the three major secret realms of the virtual universe company, everyone is extremely jealous of the "Original Secret Realm"

So when Luo Feng entered the Primordial Secret Realm through the qualifying match, those geniuses also knew about it. They were surprised at the time... Luo Feng entered the Primordial Secret Realm in his first qualifying match. It was really amazing!
But who would have thought that in just over a decade, Luo Feng had reached the level of Domain Lord and was sent out.

"Has Luo Feng gone mad? 90% of the geniuses in our Rain Mountain Secret Realm are able to break through to the Domain Master level at any time. But how many are as crazy as him?"

"There is a huge difference in strength between a cosmic genius and a domain master genius. The weakest domain master of the "Primordial Secret Realm" can only pass the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge, while the weakest of the ten domain masters of the "Original Secret Realm" can only pass the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge!"

"Even if Fito, the strongest genius among the universe-level geniuses, is thrown into the domain master level, he can barely stay in the Taichu Secret Realm. What is this madness of Luo Feng? He doesn't really think he can compare with that pervert Jiang Ye, right?"

“Who knows!”

……

In a box in the Rongzhuang Hotel in the public area.

Except for Jiang Ye and Ai Chen, all the top ten people in the genius competition that year gathered here.

No matter Rong Jun or Bolan, they were both stunned when they found out that Luo Feng had broken through to the Domain Lord level.

Originally, Jiang Ye's breakthrough to the realm master level had already taken them a long time to recover from. After all, it was only a short period of one or two hundred years, and the same group of geniuses were still at the cosmic level working hard for the seventh level of Tongtian Bridge, but the other side had already reached the realm master level.

"Crazy, you and I have known each other for so many years, and I have always thought you were crazy, but this time you are even crazier than I thought."

Rong Jun held the wine glass.

"Except for that pervert Jiang Ye, no matter how talented you are, you will usually stay at the cosmic level for thousands of years before breaking through. Most people stay for thousands of years before breaking through. But you - just for your madness, lunatic, I toast to you."

"Haha, savage, come and drink." Luo Feng held up the wine glass.

Snapped!
The two men clinked their glasses together and then drank from them.

"Mad!" Wuka stood up and laughed, "Universe-level geniuses stay at this level for thousands of years. And the Domain Lord-level geniuses stay at this level for tens of thousands of years. All the Domain Lord-level members of the "Taichu Secret Realm" have at least passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. The original secret realm has at least passed the eighth level. The original secret realm has at least passed the tenth level!"

"I know that!"

Luo Feng smiled and said,

"Among the 100 masters of the Primordial Secret Realm, 39 have made it past the eighth level, 58 have made it past the ninth level, and 3 have made it past the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge!"

"There are 10 people at the original secret realm master level, 9 of them passed the tenth level, and 1 passed the eleventh level. Am I right?"

Uka was speechless.

Everyone else in the box fell silent. According to what they knew, Luo Feng had only passed the seventh floor.

They are far inferior to the "domain lord level" members of the Primordial Secret Realm, not to mention the members of the Original Secret Realm.

"What are you afraid of? The Domain Lord Qualification Tournament happens every 1000 years, and the next one is still hundreds of years away." Luo Feng said with a smile.
"After a few hundred years, my strength has probably increased again."

Bolan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up and said in a cold voice:

"With a few hundred years, are you sure you can break into the tenth floor?"

Luo Feng was silent for a moment.

通天桥三层为一个层次，1-3， 4-6，7-9，10-12……

Therefore, stepping from the ninth level to the tenth level is an extremely difficult hurdle.

Those peerless geniuses who have practiced for tens of thousands of years are all geniuses accumulated from several genius competitions and hero competitions. However, there are only a little over 10 people who have practiced for tens of thousands of years and passed the tenth level.

These dozen or so people are either the best in a certain genius competition, the best in a certain hero competition, or the top talents trained within the virtual universe company.

Each one is amazing.

It still took more than ten thousand years to get through the tenth level of Tongtian Bridge!
The ninth to tenth floors are, in fact, more difficult than the first to ninth floors combined!
"Are you sure?" Bolan stared at Luo Feng and asked again.

Luo Feng looked at the empty chair next to him, a hint of determination in his eyes.

"At least... I have the courage to fight and catch up! Besides, who can predict the future?"

The group of people at the table fell silent. They looked at the empty chair that Luo Feng was staring at, and they glanced at each other, with a hint of loneliness in their eyes.

They did not inform Jiang Ye about this gathering. After all, no matter how good the friendship is, it cannot overcome the "disparity in status"

Just like Luo Feng and Babata in the future.

"Courage!" Hearing Luo Feng's words, Bolan's eyes moved to the empty chair and he couldn't help but be distracted.
