Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 259 Title-Sealing Mission
The world of Jin, the northern army camp.

"Lan Shuo, Lan Bo, I'm leaving. See you again someday," Zhang Yi said to the burly figure in the distance.

Lan Shuo waved goodbye, saying, "Brother Shi Kong, your future is limitless now that you've joined the special army. But I must say, thank you for saving my life..."

Before the words were finished, a bald True God standing in front of the three said impatiently, "Alright, I still need to send Time and Space to Qilong Army. You two hurry back to your respective teams."

Lan Shuo and the other man nodded quickly, not daring to linger. They smiled at Zhang Yi and left immediately.

Bald God led Zhang Yi to the Qilong Army, a special legion.

Because the Northern Army camp was sealed off, it took the two several days to reach the Qilong Army's encampment, a towering mountain peak that seemed to reach into the clouds.

After introducing Zhang Yi to the Qilong Army, the bald-headed god quickly left.

After exchanging a few words with the others, Zhang Yi went directly to a cave on the mountain peak, which was his assigned place for cultivation.

"I'm quite lucky; I didn't get any assignments when I arrived at Qilong Army." Zhang Yi smiled lightly.

He then looked closely at the cave walls, where some basic inheritances were engraved, including a first-level divine power burning secret technique.

However, it is much inferior to the one inherited from the Wu Kingdom.

After spending a few days in the cave, Zhang Yi set off directly for the nearest military depot.

In the vast expanse of space and time, Zhang Yi flew through the air. Space and time were sealed off around him, but with his mastery of space and time, he could still travel through space and time if he wanted to.

However, this is in the Northern Army camp. If he manages to travel through time, he might be discovered by that Northern Army general.

A few days later, Zhang Yi arrived outside that magnificent and ancient hall.

Upon entering, one is transported to another world, where a golden figure appears.

"Qilong Army sergeant, state your needs."

"I want to take on the title-granting mission," Zhang Yi said directly.

The golden figure paused, then spoke in a cold voice: "Soldier of the Qilong Army, do you know what a titled mission is?"

"You've just joined the special legion. I suggest you hone your skills for a while before making any plans."

“Sir, according to the rules, I am entitled to accept it,” Zhang Yi insisted.

"Hmph! Since you're courting death, go back and wait. You'll be notified of the specific details of the title-granting mission within one era." After saying this, the golden figure disappeared.

Clearly, in Golden Voice's eyes, Zhang Yi was the kind of person who fanatically pursued titles.

He had seen many people like this before; instead of honing their skills, they would immediately think about taking on title missions as soon as they joined the special legion.

Little did they know, even the captains of those special legions dared not easily accept this task.

After leaving the ancient and majestic hall, Zhang Yi returned to the Qilong Army's garrison, awaiting the arrival of the title conferment mission.

……

On the other side, Luo Feng also disguised himself as a hermit and came to the Ganye tribe. Soon after, he followed the Ganye tribe to the Eastern Army camp and joined the special legion, Manghe Army.

However, Luo Feng was not very lucky; he encountered a catastrophic mission that occurred once every epoch.

However, with his abilities, completing the mission is naturally not a problem; it just will take time.

As for the giant axe, it wasn't very lucky. After entering from outside the miniature universe, it landed at a nest of alien beasts. Fortunately, most of the alien beasts were not in the nest, only three alien beast gods.

Before entering, Zhang Yi had specifically instructed that the Jin World strictly controlled the use of various secret techniques, and that they could not be used casually before joining the army and obtaining the Burning Divine Power Secret Technique.

Therefore, the giant axe could only unleash the peak power of the ninth rank. Under the siege of the three-headed beast god, it could only protect itself and quickly retreat.

Afterwards, the giant axe passed through a small tribe, a weak tribe with only a dozen or so true gods. The giant axe was warmly welcomed by the tribe upon its arrival.

After staying in the tribe for a while, Giant Axe found out the location of the Western Army's camp and set off alone for the Eastern Army.

Giant Axe passed the army's assessment smoothly, but unfortunately, he was just a little short of qualifying to join the True God-level Special Legion.

According to his estimation, a true god would need to demonstrate the strength of the tenth rank to be qualified to enter the special legion.

However, the giant axe was not disappointed. He already had a rough idea of ​​the tenth-order secret technique in his mind, and he only needed to spend more time to create it.

At that time, you will naturally be able to join the special legion.

Lord of the Wilderness, who entered from the south of the miniature universe, naturally chose to join the Southern Army.

After receiving the inheritance of the ancient civilization, the Lord of the Wilderness has further improved his strength and has created a top-tier fifth-order secret technique.

However, even with his top-tier fifth-tier strength, he could barely pass the military assessment and become an ordinary soldier.

Joining the special legion, however, is still a long way off.

Time passed, and several hundred years went by.

In the virtual universe, the plane of true gods, Zhang Yi, the Lord of Chaos City, Giant Axe, Luo Feng, and the Lord of the Desolate Mirror gathered together.

They all recounted their experiences in the world of Jin, sighing with emotion.

"Zhang Yi, how are you?" The Chaos City Lord asked, noticing that while the others were talking, Zhang Yi had been listening silently.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I'm lucky. After joining the special legion, I learned that the mandatory missions of this era have ended, and I, as a newcomer, will start the missions in the next era."

"Teacher, you're really lucky. Compared to you, I'm really unlucky. After joining the special legion, I encountered a rare and disastrous mission, and I still haven't been able to complete it," Luo Feng said with a hint of helplessness.

However, completing the task of 'slaying a true god of alien beasts' was not too difficult for him.

The group continued their conversation, and upon hearing about everything in the Jin world, the Chaos City Lord standing to the side was quite envious.

Unfortunately, he still needs to oversee the human race and cannot easily take risks.

"Teacher, when I have the chance, I'll get you a few mechanical treasures from the Jin World." Zhang Yi saw the dejection in the Chaos City Lord's eyes and said with a smile.

“The teacher stays in the primordial universe and doesn’t go out, so there’s not much use for him. Your safety should come first,” the Chaos City Lord said with a smile, though there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Zhang Yi didn't say anything more. One of his purposes in entering the Jin world this time was to find a way to acquire more mechanical treasures.

After all, a suitable mechanical artifact can greatly enhance one's strength.

At the Qilong Army's base, a spacetime sphere floated in the cave. Before the title conferment mission arrived, Zhang Yi entered the inheritance space inside the spacetime sphere to continue his cultivation.

On this day, Zhang Yi finished his cultivation and came to the cave exit from the space-time sphere, gazing into the distance.

"It's time to head to the mission hall," Zhang Yi thought to himself.

Despite hundreds of years of cultivation, the growth rate of his life genes has not increased significantly, only slightly, and is still some distance from the 90,000-fold gene level. After traveling for a day through the Northern Army camp, they arrived at the outside of an ancient and simple hall.

A layer of light enveloped him.

Title-Sealing Quest (Lord of Laws Level) Location: God King Valley

Mission Objective: God King Valley was once a resting place for the God King of Jin. Within the valley stands a nine-story tower called "Wuqi Tower," the highest level. To this day, no Law Master has ever reached the ninth floor. The objective is to enter Wuqi Tower and ascend to the ninth floor. The one who reaches the top will receive a promotion!
Reward: Returning alive will earn you 10,000 military merits; success will grant you a promotion and endless benefits.

Special reminder: This mission has an extremely high failure rate. Participants are the top law masters of the four armies of Jin, each of whom has undergone numerous trials and is well-prepared. The failure rate has always averaged 90%. Please be extremely careful.

“God King Valley.” Zhang Yi was not surprised at all.

Without delay, after leaving the ancient hall, Zhang Yi directly rode the spacetime sphere to the 'God King Realm' continent where the God King resided.

A month later, they arrived at the God King Realm Continent. A Void True God led them to the front of Wuqi Tower. After gathering ten soldiers, they began the mission of bestowing titles.

On the first floor of Wuqi Tower, they were lucky; none of the ten soldiers in this batch possessed any mechanical treasures.

Without the explosive power of mechanical treasures.

With his ability to unleash top-tier tenth-level strength, he naturally passed the test with great ease.

On the second level, under the dual threat of ancient runes and rock giants, all five warriors from the previous batch perished.

Zhang Yi also managed to snatch an unclaimed mechanical treasure by virtue of his movement technique, which was enough to overwhelm most true gods.

"As expected of a mechanical treasure, this should be considered a very ordinary one, yet it is so powerful." After refining this sword-shaped mechanical treasure, he obtained specific information about it.

This is an offensive mechanical treasure called 'Sealed Sword'. Once you comprehend the laws and runes within it and activate it, you can increase your attack power by two levels.

After obtaining this sealed sword, Zhang Yi naturally passed through the ancient secret pattern and the threat of the rock giant without any difficulty.

The third level of willpower attack was like a gentle breeze to him.

And so, he made it to the fourth floor without any trouble.

Of course, his dazzling performance also shocked the four commanders of God King Valley, who all watched his performance with great anticipation.

The fourth floor has four passageways to choose from.

Zhang Yi knew that, in terms of value, the 'Path of True God' was the highest among the four paths, but that was only for the other Law Masters.

He possesses the true path to godhood passed down from the Wu Kingdom, which is more complete than the path left by the God-King of Jin, so there is naturally no need for him to choose it again.

Moreover, his life gene multiplication rate has exceeded 80,000 times, rendering any life gene map useless; he must rely entirely on his own exploration.

Zhang Yi stepped into the passage that was faintly glowing white.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the four commanders.

"How did we end up in the treasure passage in this time and space?"

"Doesn't he intend to pursue the path of divine power? How short-sighted!"

"In this time and space, I had actually thought highly of him before."

"What a pity, the path to true godhood is the greatest opportunity in the fourth level."

The four of them knew very well that the title of Lord of Laws that His Majesty the God King of Jin wanted to choose was preferably one that followed the path of divine power, since simply following the path of laws would have too little potential.

The four commanders sighed one after another, but there was nothing they could do. Although they were guarding the Valley of the Divine King, they had no authority to interfere with the selection of soldiers participating in the assessment.

Inside the passage, Zhang Yi walked along the corridor and soon arrived at a grand hall. Many orbs of light floated above the hall, each orb emitting strong fluctuations.

"Sergeant, you have the opportunity to choose one treasure." An aged voice rang out, and at the same time, he received a list.

The list contains the treasures that can be selected.

call!
Zhang Yi took a deep breath. There were quite a few treasures left behind by the God King of Jin, but none of them were of high quality.

After all, this is for the Lord of Laws to use. The most powerful one, the Wuqi God, is on the ninth level, and the others are inferior.

After weighing his options for a moment, he chose a mechanical treasure, since it was the fastest way to improve his strength.

The Godslayer Spear is a mechanical-type treasure with extremely high explosive power.

Once you fully comprehend the three layers of secret runes within the God-Slaying Spear, it can unleash tremendous power.

According to the information provided after refining, it could even increase his burst damage by up to three levels.

Having obtained the treasure, he saw no need to linger and left the treasure passage, directly entering the fifth level.

On the fifth floor, the white-robed man used various spear techniques to strangle Zhang Yi.

For him, who had already created a top-tier ninth-order secret technique, the white-robed man's spear technique, though exquisite, was simply too low-level and there was no need to learn it at all.

After the white-robed man demonstrated over a hundred different spear techniques, Zhang Yi, wielding his spear, casually swung it and sent the white-robed man flying. The white-robed man looked at him in shock.

Is this soldier before me merely a Lord of Laws? How can his strength be so formidable!

The four commanders also watched this scene with great interest.

"This space-time is really a strange person. Although the fifth level is a test, it is more of an opportunity. I didn't expect that this soldier space-time would directly knock the white-robed man away before he even finished practicing his marksmanship."

"He seemed to be playing casually, so it looks like he wasn't going all out."

"That attack just now was already at the mid-level of a True God, right? I didn't expect that wasn't his limit. Just how high is his secret technique?"

The four commanders became increasingly suspicious and curious about Zhang Yi.

On the sixth level, the Thousand-Eyed Beast manipulated a thousand spears to attack Zhang Yi simultaneously. Faced with this terrifying attack, he naturally did not choose to withstand it head-on, but directly used the movement technique he had comprehended.

After millions of years of cultivation, although he focused his main energy on creating attack techniques and did not spend much effort on movement techniques, he still created a movement technique equivalent to the top level of the eighth rank.

Such agility would be considered quite good even among true gods.

On the seventh floor, a hazy golden light emanated from the sky, radiating an impact of will. In the distance, characters began to appear on the iceberg, which was the "Divine Eye Secret Technique" created by the God King of Jin.

He turned his head and saw that he already possessed the Ancient Mirror Secret Technique, so he didn't really need this Divine Eye Secret Technique.

But I couldn't help but wonder, which of the two secret techniques of willpower created by the King of Wu and the King of Jin was stronger?

The impact on his will continued to intensify, and scrolls of divine eye techniques kept appearing, which Zhang Yi memorized.
