Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 209 Settling Down in Chaos City

On a vast, desolate continent of ruins.

Chu He looked at the familiar surroundings, the Chaos City Lord and the Ice Peak Lord standing in front of him, and the White Phoenix Venerable and the Golden Axe Venerable standing beside him.

In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to the day when I was accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Ice Peak.

I've arrived at Chaos Ruins once again.

However, unlike last time, this time it was not the teacher who spoke, but the Lord of Chaos City.

"Chu He, you did very well!" The Chaos City Lord laughed heartily. "Your highest score mission is counted as 100% completion, and the three million points will be issued to you shortly."

"Besides that, as for the treasure I promised you before, you can choose one of these three."

As he spoke, the Lord of Chaos waved his hand, and three precious treasures immediately appeared in front of Chu He.

A precious armor, a precious bead-shaped treasure, and finally, a precious battle sword.

"The Six Harmony Armor, a treasure of immense value, can only be fully activated after one's physical strength can be increased by ten thousand times the power of a Realm Lord."

The Lord of Chaos City explained, "If it can be fully activated, material attacks with less than 100,000 times the power of a World Lord will be completely blocked. Even attacks with more than 100,000 times the power of a World Lord will be weakened by 90%."

"As for soul attacks... those below the peak of the King level will all be blocked."

Upon seeing the grayish-blue armor before him, Chu He's eyes immediately lit up with a fierce light.

"As expected of a treasure that only a Universe Venerable is qualified to use under normal circumstances, its effects are simply amazing!"

Initial level of Kingship, Advanced level of Kingship, Peak level of Kingship!
The immortal divine bodies of those at the initial stage of being granted the title of King generally possess 1 times the power of a Realm Lord.

A high-ranking divine body possesses approximately 3 times the power of a realm lord.

At the peak of his kingship, his body possessed approximately 10 times the power of a realm lord.

10 times the power of a World Lord... is almost the highest state for humans to achieve immortality as kings; without extraordinary opportunities, it is impossible to break through.

Once you break through, it means you've reached the limit for becoming a king.

Such people are rare among those who have been granted the title of King.

Whether through secret techniques or divine body amplification...

Of course, this only applies to the strongest human beings.

Like the Golden Horned Beast, its starting point is ten times higher than that of humans due to its genetic level.

Both are at the peak of the King-level realm, but the human divine body has 10 times the power of a Realm Lord, while the Golden Horned Beast has 100 million times the power of a Realm Lord.

And special life forms...

Even the weakest special life form is comparable to the Golden Horned Beast!
A tenfold increase in gene density is roughly the pinnacle of a World Lord-level bloodline.

The combined effects of the powerful Six Harmony Armor practically mean that an ordinary King-level Immortal without a powerful weapon in hand cannot even break through its defenses.

As for the usage requirements, they are completely unsuitable for the current Chu River.

But after Chu He breaks through to the Realm Lord level...

The hundredfold gene multiplier obtained from [Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood], combined with the tenfold body amplitude obtained from [Ice Extreme Nine Refinements Body], can easily achieve the power of a thousandfold world lord.

In other words, once Chu He breaks through to the Realm Lord level, his basic strength alone will easily reach 1000 times the strength of a Realm Lord, which is considered the initial stage of being a Marquis.

As long as one can easily create a secret technique with the power of ten times that of a realm lord based on their understanding of the laws, they can undoubtedly activate this armor with ease.

Currently, Chu He's self-created "The Moon and the Sword" is a top-tier secret technique, which is at the level of an ordinary King-level Immortal.

Activating this armor was incredibly easy.

However, Chu He did not rush to make a choice, but waited for the Lord of Chaos City to continue introducing the other two treasures.

Those that can be placed alongside Liuhejia (a type of auspicious jade) naturally have similar values.

"Hahaha, come on, let's take a look at this Illusionary Spirit Pearl." The Chaos City Lord laughed and pointed to the pearl-shaped treasure.

"The Illusionary Spirit Pearl is a powerful treasure for soul defense, requiring a soul power ten thousand times greater than that of a peak human realm lord to withstand. Soul attacks less than one hundred thousand times the power of a realm lord will be completely blocked by this Illusionary Spirit Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Chu He lost interest.

Before drinking the [Ten Thousand Hearts Controlling Soul Wine], Chu He would have been interested in this Illusionary Spirit Orb.

But now, his soul amplitude has surpassed it, reaching a hundred times earlier.

With the added blessing of the Ice Pivot Concentration Technique and the willpower that reaches the level of a Cosmic Venerable, ordinary soul attacks can be completely ignored.

Chu He's gaze shifted and landed on the last treasured weapon, the battle sword.

"Oh? You don't think much of the Illusionary Spirit Pearl?" The Chaos City Lord's thoughts flashed through his mind.

This Illusionary Spirit Orb was specially selected by him!

Unexpectedly, Chu He didn't think much of it.

"It seems that my junior brother's disciple... is no ordinary person!"

Without hesitation, the Lord of Chaos City began to introduce the final treasure, the battle sword.

"The Treasure-Slaying Blade can only be activated after it has gained the approval of the laws of space. It contains the spatial strangulation technique 'Slaying Calamity'..."

Upon hearing this, Chu He made up his mind to choose the Shocking Blade!

With his clone present, Chu He doesn't actually need defensive treasures.

Moreover, there's the Five-Colored Void-Escape Lotus Platform, which offers some defensive capabilities.

However, the Shocking Calamity Blade, capable of injuring even an immortal, is essential for him to challenge immortals beyond his level.

"Senior Uncle, I choose the [Shock Blade]." Chu He bowed respectfully, his tone firm.

"Hmm, take it." The Lord of Chaos City was not surprised.

Of the three treasures, the Shocking Calamity Blade ranks second in terms of value.

The original Six Harmony Armor, although a defensive treasure, was actually slightly less valuable than the Shocking Calamity Blade.

Moreover, Chu He also possesses a speed-enhancing treasure, the Five-Colored Void Escape Lotus Platform, which offers some defensive capabilities.

"And here is your Five-Colored Void-Escape Lotus Platform." The Chaos City Lord took out another five-colored lotus platform.

“When I issued the highest-scoring mission, I should have given you this lotus platform as well. However, I felt that this lotus platform was still somewhat inadequate, so I kept it to make some improvements.”

"In addition to teleportation, this five-colored lotus platform can also split into 625 lotus petals to seal off the surrounding space."

"Combined with your Ice Crystal Colossus clone's [Spatial Freeze] talent, a double spatial lockdown allows for both offense and defense. What do you think?"

Chu He was overjoyed upon hearing this and respectfully bowed, saying, "This disciple thanks my master."

"Hahaha, alright, you've picked out everything, let's go now."

"From now on, you shall stay in Chaos City."

Chu He nodded silently.

His original plan was to cultivate in Chaos City for a period of time.

The core disciples of the Virtual Universe Company have the opportunity to enter Chaos City for cultivation during their time at the Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, and World Lord Level.

At the cosmic level, that is, when you first join the Virtual Universe Company, you have the opportunity to cultivate in Chaos City for about 30 years for free.

This was Chu He and his group's first trip to Chaos City.

At the Domain Lord level, one has the opportunity to cultivate for approximately 300 years in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe for free.

At the World Lord level, one has the opportunity to cultivate in Chaos City for approximately 3000 years free of charge. This is all free!
A privilege reserved for core disciples!
In addition, you can use points to redeem more time for cultivation in Chaos City.

The longer you cultivate, the more points you consume.

If you have enough points, you can cultivate in Chaos City for ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years.

Once the points are exhausted, Chaos City will forcibly ask the person to leave.

However, for Chu He, there was absolutely no need for him to spend any more points.

The Chaos City Lord's meaning was clear: he could stay as long as he wanted.

Wow!
With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Chaos City caused Chu He and the two Venerables to vanish instantly.

With a spatial shift, the three of them suddenly appeared in a quiet courtyard outside the Chaos Ruins.

"Junior Brother Chuhe, you must cultivate diligently and never let your teacher down!"

Venerable Bai Feng and Venerable Jin Fu spoke in unison, patted Chu He on the shoulders with smiles, and then vanished into thin air.

……

Within the Chaos Ruins, on that vast, desolate continent of ruins.

"Senior brother, is that all?" The Ice Peak Lord asked coldly, "Don't you need to ask about the [World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine]?"

"Haha, junior brother, there's no need to be in such a hurry to ask your disciple for benefits, is there?" The Chaos City Lord shook his head.

"According to what my junior brother said before, we should at least wait until he breaks through to the World Lord level before we can try to guide the Blood Sand Vine to evolve."

"So, it's a bit too early to be in such a hurry." Beneath his red armor, the Chaos City Lord's tail swished gently as he looked at his junior brother with a mocking expression.

"It's not about asking for favors on his behalf." The Lord of Ice Peak frowned slightly. "What I mean is, should we start preparing now?"

"A spirit wine for evolving the bloodline of a Realm Lord, as well as [Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood], and that spirit wine for rapidly restoring the consumption of divine body resources..."

The Lord of Ice Peak listed out the various spirit wines that Chu He had developed, or perhaps already had a clear method for developing, and his expression grew increasingly proud.

“If these spirit wines are promoted, they will definitely cause a huge uproar.”

"Let's tackle these problems one by one." The Lord of Chaos City sighed with a smile, gazing into the distance as if he could see Chu He choosing a place to stay within Chaos City.

"Judging from his condition, it should take him several hundred years to brew that [World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine]."

"Therefore, the existing Domain Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Agents can be exchanged by the major cosmic nations."

"As for the lower-level bloodline evolution agents... how about simply delegating the right to exchange them to the Middle Universe Nation?"

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly upon hearing these arrangements: "Just do as Senior Brother says."

……

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Public Area.

As Chuhe walked along the wide street paved with black stone slabs, he felt a completely different mood than before.

He would be living in Chaos City for at least the next few hundred years.

"This public area is as bustling as ever!"

After all, it is the only place where many core members from the four districts of Yuxiang Mountain can gather together.

Every core member of Virtual Universe Company is wealthy!

Therefore, commerce here is naturally very developed.

Strolling through the public area, one can see realm lords everywhere, and 99% of them have various original law imprints between their eyebrows, clearly indicating that they have been recognized by the original laws.

Chu He's gaze occasionally swept over the distinctive buildings lining the roadside.

Among them is a building belonging to the Kyushu Group.

After Chu Xi became the disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, the Kyushu Group expanded throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

After Chu He used the spirit wine to directly elevate his father Chu Tianxiong and mother Xu Qingqing to the realm lord level, the Kyushu Group opened branches in several surrounding advanced universes.

Such outstanding performance naturally attracted the attention of the virtual universe company branch of Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Zi Dianhou, who was in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, immediately designated Kyushu Group as a top-tier subsidiary.

The subsidiaries of Virtual Universe Company are divided into third-level subsidiaries, second-level subsidiaries, first-level subsidiaries, and special-level subsidiaries.

A subsidiary with net assets of 1000 mixed units is considered a third-tier subsidiary. The manager of a third-tier subsidiary is still considered an external member.

A company with net assets of 100,000 Mixed Yuan Units is considered a Level 2 subsidiary. Managers of Level 2 subsidiaries can become core members of the [Apocalyptic Secret Realm].

A company with total assets reaching 10 million Mixed Yuan Units is considered a Level 1 subsidiary. The manager of a Level 1 subsidiary is a member of the [Heaven and Earth Secret Realm].

A subsidiary with total assets reaching 10 billion Mixed Yuan Units is considered a top-tier subsidiary. The managers of top-tier subsidiaries are members of the [Primordial Secret Realm].

As the manager of the top-tier subsidiary Kyushu Group, Chu Tianxiong naturally became a member of the [Primordial Secret Realm] and was qualified to enter it.

However, the environment within the cosmic secret realm is only beneficial to martial artists.

Almost all members of the business department who entered the core level lived in their hometowns.

Chu Tianxiong knew he wasn't cut out for cultivation, and had long since given up on the idea of ​​trying.

With a grown son around, why bother with your own self-cultivation?
Moreover, with a beautiful wife at home, what's in the [Primordial Secret Realm]?
However, Chuhe's visit this time was not to meet his family on Yuxiang Mountain.

Instead, they came to attend Special Envoy Luo Feng's promotion banquet.

"We've arrived at Wanyu Tower."

Chu He looked up at the nine-story black wooden building in front of him.

The high-rise building is surrounded by a variety of rare and precious flowers and plants, with lush green trees nearby, interplay of light and shadow, and a faint fragrance of flowers.

It appeared remarkably quiet and secluded.

The view from the top floor of Wanyu Building is quite elegant.

From a high vantage point, one can see the distant mountains, rocks, and springs at a glance.

The entire ninth floor has only a few pure white dining tables.

Around one of the tables, four people were sitting, with exquisite dishes and fine wine on the table.

"Hey! Everyone's here!" Chu He stepped onto the ninth floor and immediately saw nine people.

Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, Rong Jun.

If we include Chu He, then it's a gathering of the five-person group from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be here too!" Rong Jun was the first to stand up, laughing heartily, "I knew something was missing!"

"Come on, you all say I'm crazy, but I'm only at the beginning!" Luo Feng took two steps forward, pulled Chu He to a seat, pressed Chu He's shoulder, and said loudly, "This one is the real madman, okay?"

"I only broke through to the Domain Lord level after the qualifying battle, but this person skipped the qualifying battle entirely!"

Cosmic level, qualifying battles happen once every 100 years.

While Chu He was away on a mission, their first qualifying battle of the year had already ended.

Luo Feng ascended to the Primordial Secret Realm, and Hong and Lei Shen also entered the Primordial Secret Realm as they wished.

In other words, of the five people from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, three are currently in the Primordial Secret Realm and two are in the Primal Secret Realm.

Chu He's gaze lingered on the four people's faces for a moment, then his smile gradually spread: "Gentlemen, it's been a long time."
