Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

In the void outside the Chaos Star, the black-clad youth led Zhang Yi and the others to the Chaos Star via a teleportation array.

Fly out of the teleportation array.

This is a vast, boundless square, completely deserted, appearing utterly empty.

"This is Chaos Star," the young man in black said. "Those who can come here are all unparalleled geniuses of my Emperor Chu lineage, so the number of people here is relatively small."

"follow me."

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The young man in black led Zhang Yi and ten others as they flew across the surface of this enormous star.

Majestic mountains and beautiful lakes flash by.

Suddenly, a colossal palace surrounded by endless chaotic energy appeared in their field of vision.

This is a palace much larger than a mountain, and there are several figures in the square in front of the palace.

"This is the Palace of Laws." The man in black slowed down and said, "The Palace of Laws is one of the three great trial grounds of Chaos Star. It only tests your understanding of the laws. The more levels you pass, the better the rewards you will receive."

"The Palace of Laws? The Trial Grounds?"

Zhang Yi was secretly alarmed.

According to the man in black, the higher one's understanding of the laws, the greater the rewards will be.

I wonder how they will test us?

With his current understanding of the spacetime fusion law, comparable to that of a Void God, the rewards he can obtain will be substantial!

After all, even on the Origin Continent, it would be almost impossible for the Lord of Laws to achieve this.

call!
The man in black led them onward without stopping.

“Once you obtain the ‘Chu Talisman,’ you can come and give it a try,” the man in black said. “There are two other trial grounds like the Law Palace: the Path of the Mind and the Chaos Realm.”

"The Path of the Soul, as its name suggests, is a place that tests one's will and will. You should also be well aware of the importance of willpower to a strong person."

"As for the Chaos Realm, it is the place to show true strength. After all, whether it is the understanding of laws or the will of the mind, they are the foundation of strength. For a strong person, the most important thing is still their own strength."

“These three places are also the easiest places for you to earn ‘Chaos Points’. You’ll understand the importance of Chaos Points later.”

The man in black briefly explained the three trial grounds of Chaos Star, which was, of course, also his task.

"The Path of the Soul?"

"The Chaos Realm?"

"And what about the Chaos Point? What's it used for?"

The group was filled with doubts, but the man in black showed no intention of explaining further.

During the flight, they encountered several figures, mostly Lords of Law, with a few True Gods. However, each of them came and went in a hurry, only glancing at them before quickly leaving.

call!
The man in black didn't stop and flew past directly.

Inside a black cave, several figures sat facing each other, and judging from their aura, they were also masters of the laws.

The cave had already been refined, so these people could easily see the man in black leading ten others flying by.

"That man in black seems to be the guardian puppet outside the gate of light. Are these ten new members?"

"It seems so. I heard before that this time, ten of the most outstanding Law Masters were selected from the small universe created by the Ancestor."

"I see. However, these creatures from small universes have such potential even without good resources. Once they get good resources, they will probably take off."

“Chu Fengshun is right. We must suppress it, otherwise, if another ‘Huan Yu’ emerges, it will be difficult to deal with.” A powerful humanoid figure with black wings and dark gold eyes said in a low voice.

Huan Yu? Upon hearing this name, the group was all taken aback, as this name was extremely well-known on Chaos Star.

A royal descendant born from a small universe, whose understanding of laws and level of life genes filled them with despair.

"What does Brother Changjin think we should do?" asked the man with a single horn on his head, who was called Chu Fengshun.

Chu Changjin shook his head: "Let's wait and see. Chu Huantian has been unwilling to make a move. We are no match for Huan Yu on our own."

"I don't know what Brother Huantian was thinking, he has always been unwilling to take action to suppress Huanyu's faction, which originated from a small universe."

"I think it might be because although Brother Huantian is a descendant of the royal family, he is not a direct descendant and is unwilling to stand up for us, the direct descendants of the God Kings and the First Rank."

Several Law Masters began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Alright, Huantian has his reasons. I believe that when the time comes to truly need him, he won't stand idly by," Chu Changjin said in a low voice.

Fly all the way.

"We've arrived," the man in black suddenly said, leading the group to a black palace. People were coming and going from the palace, all looking at them curiously.

"This is the Mission Hall. You will come here to receive missions once you break through to True Godhood," the man in black said. "But for now, come with me and go receive your Chu Talismans."

After entering the black palace, the man in black led everyone along a winding passage and soon arrived at a large hall with a black mirror floating in the air.

"Each of you step forward one by one to receive your Chu Talisman."

"You go first." The man in black pointed to a woman in blue with a voluptuous figure, who was also the only woman among Zhang Yi's ten men.

The woman in blue slowly stepped forward and came to the area directly beneath the black mirror.

Wow!
A beam of black light shot out from the mirror, instantly enveloping the woman in blue and causing her to panic.

"Don't be nervous. This is a test of your foundation using the bronze mirror. It will be over soon," the man in black explained.

As they spoke, the black light once again converged back into the bronze mirror.

"Lan Xue, with average foundation, is granted a third-class Chu talisman."

A powerful voice resounded throughout the entire hall, and a silver, teardrop-shaped talisman appeared, landed on Lan Xue's forehead, and disappeared.

"What is this?" Lan Xue sensed the changes within herself.

"next."

Before Lan Xue could fully experience Chu Fu, the man in black moved her back to her original spot, and another figure stepped forward.

"With average foundation, he is granted a third-class Chu token."

"With average foundation, he is granted a third-class Chu token."

The others, like Lan Xue, were all only granted the third-class Chu Talisman.

Just when everyone thought that the newcomers were all only third-class Chu Fu (a type of talisman),

A voice rang out again. "Mo Yuan, with a superior foundation, is hereby granted a second-class Chu Talisman."

Wow!
Everyone, including the man in black, looked at the boy with three braids on his head.

The others were simply surprised that, so far, only Mo Yuan had obtained a second-class Chu Talisman.

However, they were not really clear about the differences between the different grades of Chu Fu.

But the man in black knew very well what was going on, and couldn't help but glance at the boy a few more times.

It's rare to see someone who, having guarded the Chaos Star for countless ages, was assessed as having a superior foundation and obtained a second-class Chu Talisman on their first visit.

With such a foundation, coupled with the resources of Chaos Star, there is a good chance of achieving the Chaos Realm.

The evaluation continued, and none of the subsequent participants obtained a second-class Chu talisman.

One person's foundation was even rated as inferior, and he was only awarded a fourth-class Chu token.

"Even with such a low-level foundation, they managed to pass the test. They must possess some unknown strength," the man in black thought to himself as he watched this scene.

"Your turn." The man in black looked at the last person, Zhang Yi.

Yes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the man in black left Zhang Yi at the very end.

The other nine also looked at him curiously.

Zhang Yi was the most outstanding among the ten. In the assessment, he far surpassed everyone else and overwhelmingly won first place.

Wow!
The black light once again enveloped Zhang Yi under the bronze mirror.

Zhang Yi felt as if the sun was shining on him, which was exceptionally comfortable.

This feeling lasted for a short while before disappearing.

"Duanmu Yi, with exceptional talent, is hereby granted the First-Class Chu Talisman."

A powerful voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Top-tier foundation?" Zhang Yi asked in surprise, wondering how the black bronze mirror detected it.

A purple-tinged rune appeared and flashed before merging into his head.

"What is this?" Zhang Yi sensed the magic of this light talisman.

Before I could fully appreciate it, I was interrupted by a group of exclamations from the people around me.

Ten pairs of wide eyes stared at him.

Even the usually composed man in black, who had obtained the second-class Chu Talisman, now looked shocked.

Having just arrived at the Chaos type, he was recognized as having a top-grade foundation and was granted a first-grade Chu talisman?
This had only happened a few times during the thousand years he had guarded this place.

If he remembered correctly, those two were the ones who were awarded the First-Class Chu Talisman on their first visit recently.

Chu Huantian! Hengyu!

These two names are the most dazzling among the Lords of Law, and they are also the two most powerful among all the Lords of Law on Chaos Star.

One of these two is a descendant of a collateral branch of the royal god-king family, while the other, like the ten people before them, comes from a small universe.

It is said that these two can become true gods at any time, and even true gods with infinite divine bodies, which are highly valued by the higher-ups of the clan.

Unexpectedly, this newcomer, Duanmu Yi, also has such potential. I wonder if he can catch up with these two in the future.

The other nine people also looked at Zhang Yi with different expressions.

"Brother Yi is indeed amazing." Mo Yuan said with a smile, showing no resentment at Zhang Yi's superior foundation.

The other eight people also offered their congratulations.

Even if they didn't know exactly what a first-class Chu Talisman meant, they were clear that maintaining a good relationship with Zhang Yi would definitely benefit their future cultivation on Chaos Star.

After all, they came to Chaos Star in the same batch and both originated from small universes.

Deep within the Emperor Chu Palace sat a terrifying figure exuding an aura of destruction.

At this moment, he opened his tightly closed eyes and looked towards the direction of Chaos Star not far away, where he saw Zhang Yi obtain the first-class Chu Talisman.

"Top-tier foundation, first-class Chu Fu?"

"Not bad, I wonder if I have a chance to achieve the Infinite Divine Body."

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Everyone says I'm biased towards these descendants of the smaller universes, giving them opportunities so that they could leave the smaller universes and come to the Origin Continent during the time of the Lord of Laws." He shook his head.

Little did he know that in his eyes, these descendants who could cultivate to a level comparable to Chu Du's, who received abundant resources and assistance, in such a harsh environment as the miniature universe, had great potential, and he was willing to give them a chance.

Among the thirteen emperors of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, there was one who rose from a small universe to become the pinnacle of the Origin Continent. Although he was not on good terms with him, he couldn't help but admire him.

He understands just how difficult it is to climb up from the very bottom!

"Just wait and see how this little guy named Duanmu Yi will turn out." Di Chu closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the Great Dao of Destruction.

The news of Zhang Yi obtaining the first-class Chu Talisman spread quickly, which was also the result of the man in black secretly stirring things up.

Encouraging the most outstanding Law Masters of the Di Chu lineage to compete with each other is more conducive to their progress.

This was personally decided by that ancestor.

"A newly arrived Law Master, who even comes from a small universe, actually obtained a First-Class Chu Talisman? Did I hear that right?"

"I can't believe it either. I only obtained a third-class Chu Talisman back then."

“Even Brother Chu Changjin only has a second-class foundation. You should know that Brother Changjin can now rank among the top ten of all the Law Masters in the entire Chaos Star.”

"In terms of talent alone, only those two can probably compare."

Still in that black cave.

Chu Changjin and Chu Fengshun were also dumbfounded.

Not long ago, they were considering whether to take action to suppress the faction that originated from a small universe. Unexpectedly, the newcomer, Duanmu Yi, was granted a first-class Chu talisman.

Being awarded the first-class Chu Talisman first meant something they both knew very well.
This is a lineage with the potential to become an infinite divine body.

This is also what the royal family values ​​most. (End of Chapter)
