Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 213 A Century of Secluded Cultivation, Talent: [Spirit Realm]

The universe is constantly evolving.

As a small universe in the early stages of evolution, the initial universe was filled with chaotic air currents, cracks stretched across the sky, and complex secret patterns flowed, revealing the laws of nature, which was breathtaking.

The crystalline threads flowed through the crack, striving to repair it. Repairing again and again, cracking open once more, endlessly.

Chuhe walked along the wide cobblestone street, looking around.

In the distance, on the rooftops of various meditation dwellings, ascetics can be seen sitting cross-legged in meditation.

There are realm lords, and there are immortal gods.

Of course, the vast majority are immortal gods.

These ascetics all looked different, some with very long hair that looked as if they hadn't touched it for many years.

However, no matter how unkempt they are, no one dares to underestimate them.

These ascetics all exuded a powerful aura.

As Chu He strolled toward Luo Feng's cultivation pavilion, he made a brief, interesting comparison between these ascetic cultivators and his experiences in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Wilderness Universe Kingdom.

Not to mention those immortal powerhouses, even the realm lords, those realm lords who can cultivate in Chaos City, have a much stronger aura than those outside.

"Chaos City truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred place for human cultivation," Chu He remarked.

Even in sacred cultivation grounds, there are huge differences between races of different strengths.

As one of the most advanced races, humanity's ability to use a nascent universe that is still evolving as a sacred place for cultivation speaks volumes about its profound heritage.

We walked and admired the scenery along the way.

Having lived in Chaos City for so long, this was the first time Chu He had ever strolled around the city so freely and easily.

It has to be said that relaxing like this occasionally really does improve one's mood.

"Yes, it would be great to go out more often in the future and listen to lectures from those immortal masters who have been granted the title of King."

Chuhe walked along the wide bluestone path, feeling quite relaxed and at ease.

After a while.

"drop!"

In front of the main entrance of Luo Feng's cultivation pavilion, a hidden detection signal swept across Chu He and emitted a notification sound.

After confirming that Chu He had obtained permission to enter, the door clicked open, and no longer obstructed him.

Stepping into the living room, Chu He immediately noticed the barely concealed smile on Luo Feng's face.

"Oh!" Chu He raised an eyebrow. "You've run into some good news?"

"Hehe, I guess so." Luo Feng raised an eyebrow as well.

"Speaking of which, I've only just arrived in Chaos City, and you've already broken through to the Realm Lord level!"

"I also want to break through to the Realm Lord level as soon as possible." Luo Feng looked at Chu He sitting opposite him, pursed his lips, and said something surprising.

"Hmm?" Chu He took out a bottle of [Immortal's Intoxication] from the white jade wine pot.

This "Immortal's Intoxication" drink, which incorporates various flavorful fruit pieces, not only offers a variety of tastes but also a richer, more complex flavor profile.

"Explain in detail why you have this idea."

"It's nothing, we'll just handle it discreetly," Luo Feng smiled. "Besides, we're all so conspicuous, it's a bit..."

To be honest, this action is quite in line with Luo Feng's usual style of doing things, and it was completely within Chu He's expectations.

"There's no need," Chu He said calmly, filling their glasses with wine.

"I've said this before, and it's the same now; there's no need for it."

"You don't need to hide your strength. On the contrary, you should show your talent in understanding the laws as much as possible."

"The more extraordinary our talents are, the more attention the Virtual Universe Company will pay to us and the more resources we will receive for training."

"Not to mention that after reaching the Realm Lord level, the first time you participate in the qualifying round, you will receive at least 100 million points as a reward. If you can pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain at the Domain Lord level, you can directly obtain 3 billion points after breaking through to the Realm Lord level."

"Oh?" Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

Before, he wasn't confident he could get past the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Domain Lord level. But just now, his teacher, True Stroke King, gave him the first three volumes of "Seven Kills of the Beast God".

Furthermore, he also possesses the Beast God Statue, giving him a strong chance of mastering it.

Moreover, once mastered, it will greatly enhance his strength!

"Three billion points..." A hint of anticipation flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.

"Then I'll give it a try!"

"Hahaha, it's time to give it a try." Chu He laughed heartily.

Especially when he thought about how Luo Feng would become his junior brother in the future, he couldn't help but smile and his eyes narrowed.

"By the way, how's it going with what we discussed before?" Chu He asked again. "Roy sent word that the Black Dragon Mountain Empire has taken care of it."

"After all, he is the youngest immortal of the Fengxiao Clan, and he also represents my past. Without saying a word, Black Dragon directly traded the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region to me."

“I’ve got it sorted out on my end too.” Luo Feng nodded. “Although it’s not the best way to put it, Professor Hu Yanbo’s understanding of spatial laws is really… a bit lacking.”

“I found a King-level Immortal from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Out of respect for you, that King-level Immortal is quite easy to talk to.”

"What face do you mean, 'my face'? Do you think your position as inspector is just for show?" Chu He shook his head. "Even if you have face, it's probably only because of that girl Chu Xi."

"After all, he's now a personal disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler!"

At this point, Chu He recalled Chu Xi's smug expression in the virtual universe, and suddenly felt a tickle in his teeth.

"Anyway, it's all about your family's reputation." Luo Feng downed his glass of wine in one gulp. "With the entire Milky Way under the control of the Kyushu Group, I feel much more at ease."

"Hahahaha!" The two clinked glasses again and burst into laughter.

……

At the summit of Thunder Island, deep within a chaotic current of air, lies a massive temple.

"Regarding the Blood Sand Vine, I plan to convene a supreme council of the human race," the Chaos City Lord said calmly.

The Lord of Ice Peaks frowned: "Isn't it a bit too early to summon them now? Let's wait until we've cultivated enough World Lord-level Blood Sand Vines before we do anything about it?"

"There's nothing to wait for." The Chaos City Lord looked at his junior brother's expression with amusement. "Isn't this the training plan we set up from the beginning? What are you hesitating about now, junior brother?"

"Mention Chu He's name as soon as possible at the highest meeting of the human race. That way, your disciple can obtain a seat in the council ahead of time by relying on either [Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood] or [Spirit Wine for Quickly Restoring Divine Body Consumption]."

"Moreover, the highest meeting of the human race will not reveal Chu He's specific information... Junior brother, what exactly are you hesitating about?"

The Lord of Ice Peaks sighed and closed his eyes in deep thought for a long time.

"They're all human, that's true, but when it comes to personal interests, how can they not fight for them? Especially Huang Jian, who's always fighting for the interests of his mercenary alliance. I'm worried..."

"Let's wait a few hundred years."

"In a few hundred years, given Chu He's rate of progress, he should be able to pass the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven and be comparable to a king in terms of his understanding of the laws."

"At that time, with my support, Chuhe will be able to take more initiative."

"Hahaha, junior brother, you!" The Chaos City Lord laughed and shook his head. "Very well, then we'll wait another three hundred years."

"Three hundred years is enough to cultivate those one hundred Blood Sand Fruits into Blood Sand Vine of the World Lord level. Perhaps we can even try to accelerate the ripening of the Blood Sand Fruits and brew the first batch of [Blood Bodhi]."

……

Inside Chaos City.

"Your Highness Chuhe."

Three realm lords clad in silver battle armor approached Chu He's cultivation residence and looked up to call out to him, who was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop. "Hmm?"

On the rooftop, Chu He quickly opened his eyes, looked down at the street, and a smile appeared on his face.

Whoosh!
He turned and jumped off the balcony.

"Have you received what I requested?" Chu He looked at the three realm lords before him.

“Yes.” The three world lords, clad in silver battle armor, nodded in unison. The leader of them respectfully handed over a world ring. “Your Highness Chuhe, all the items you purchased are within this world.”

"Thank you." Chu He reached out and took it, and then the power of the world directly permeated into the world ring.

The "world" within this world ring is very small, with a diameter of only 10,000 kilometers.

However, this "world" was filled with a large amount of goods.

Among them are materials for rapidly cultivating World Tree clones, as well as materials related to the preparation methods of finished medicines recorded in the "Pharmacist's Notebook".

Regarding the World Tree Branches, ten years ago, Chu He went to the inner palace of the City Lord's Mansion, where the Chaos City Lord personally handed them to him.

However, after fusing the World Tree branches and leaves with the seed of the [Spirit Gathering Technique] supernatural power and beginning to cultivate the World Tree clone, Chu He finally received accurate information: the World Tree clone would take a full five thousand years to develop.

Moreover, even if it were to be conceived, it would only be a sapling, unable to transform into the human form of Chu He.

Fortunately, five thousand years can be accelerated within the white jade wine pot.

The white jade wine pot, when fully activated, operates at a speed a thousand times faster than the outside world.

In just five years, the World Tree clone was successfully created.

world Tree.

It controls time and space, is enormous in size and contains immense divine power, and stabilizes the divine kingdom.

All three advantages play a significant role in Chuhe's success.

The first is to [master time and space].

Although the World Tree clone is currently just a sapling, it is already able to sense time and space within a certain range around it.

Moreover, as the World Tree clone continues to grow, its mastery of spacetime will also increase, even to the point of controlling the surrounding spacetime.

Such talent gives them a huge advantage in terms of both time and space.

Chu He knew that although he wanted to take the path of law fusion, there was practically no one among the current human race who had taken the path of the Beast God to become the Lord of the Universe.

Especially given the immense constraints of his life core, he might need an extremely profound understanding of time and space.

For example, one can fully comprehend the laws of space and directly break through to become a Space Venerable.

To walk the great path of time and space and become the master of the universe—this is the mainstream of the original universe.

It is also the only path that humankind has been able to take so far.

With the World Tree, he will have the opportunity to follow the laws of time and space in the future.

In addition, the genetic level of the World Tree is thousands of times higher than that of humans!
In this way, once the World Tree grows up, with thousands of times the level of life genes, it will naturally possess a huge divine body!

The larger the divine body, the more divine power it stores, giving it a significant advantage in battle.

Putting aside everything else, just considering burning one's divine body to wage a war of attrition, how many would dare to compete with the World Tree in terms of the duration of the conflict?

Of course, if Chu He's third clone can successfully nurture the Nine Nether Blood Sea, then the World Tree will no longer have to resort to burning its divine body to wage a war of attrition.

For Chuhe, the World Tree's more important role was to strengthen and solidify the divine kingdom.

Logically speaking, deities in their divine kingdom generally have two advantages.

By using the oppression and binding of the enemy through the divine kingdom, and by the blessing of the divine kingdom upon itself.

When the two are combined, the strength can usually be increased several times over.

However, the enemy's entry into the divine kingdom also means that they are exposing their own vulnerabilities.

Under normal circumstances, no one would do such a stupid thing.

However, if the World Tree were to reside within the divine realm, both the pressure exerted on enemies and the divine realm's own enhancements would be greatly amplified.

Combined, their strength can easily increase a hundredfold.

They are not even afraid of the enemy wreaking havoc in the divine kingdom.

In this way, bringing the enemy directly into the divine realm and then killing them becomes a feasible tactic.

Finally, there is the innate talent [Spirit Realm] that comes with the [Spirit Condensation Technique] divine power seed.

The Spirit Realm is a special space that can nurture and enhance spiritual energy, located inside the World Tree's avatar.

With the existence of the Spirit Realm, spirit wines that haven't yet cultivated corresponding high-level natural treasures, such as the previous Heavenly Pregnancy Wine and Ice Heart Jade Liquid, can have their corresponding spiritual energy directly stored in the Spirit Realm for nurturing and strengthening.

Skip the finished natural treasures and use only spiritual energy to brew high-grade [Heavenly Pregnancy Wine] and [Ice Heart Jade Liquid].

However, this method is one that only he can use.

Only by relying on spiritual perception to guide and cultivate high-level natural treasures containing corresponding spiritual energy can they be written into wine recipes.

It can be said that spiritual awareness and the spirit world complement each other.

[The Spirit Realm] allows spiritual energy to transform ahead of time.

[Spiritual perception] can then be used to guide and cultivate corresponding rare and precious materials based on the transformed spiritual energy.

If Chu He were strong enough now, he could create almost any substance he wanted!

Even life itself can be created!
Unfortunately, he is currently only a minor world lord, and his World Tree avatar is only at the cosmic level, not even qualified to activate the [Spirit Realm] talent.

Therefore, during his breaks from cultivation over the past five years, Chu He would purchase some cultivation materials to accelerate the growth of his World Tree clone.

This isn't the first time Chuhe has made a purchase.

Within the World Ring, goods covering an area spanning thousands of kilometers were all reflected in Chu He's mind with a single sweep of his World Power.

"Very good." Chu He nodded with a smile. "Thank you all for your help."

"It should, it should."

The three realm lords were somewhat alarmed and replied in unison, "We dare not disturb Your Highness Chuhe, we will take our leave now."

The three left quickly.

As they walked along the wide street, the three couldn't help but whisper among themselves and start discussing the matter.

"Everyone says that Prince Chuhe is exceptionally talented, and in terms of the speed of his progress, he could even be considered the greatest genius in human history. Who would have thought..."

The leader of the realm exclaimed in admiration, "They actually show such respect to people like us!"

“That’s right! Now that’s what I call magnanimity!” the realm lord on the left said indignantly. “Like last time, when we went to deliver goods to a realm lord of a primitive secret realm… humph, what were we acting like?”

"Look at Prince Chuhe, he truly lives up to his reputation as the personal disciple of the Ice Peak Lord!"

……

time flies.

Ten years, thirty years, fifty years...

Chu He usually sits cross-legged on the rooftop of his cultivation residence, occasionally strolling around Chaos City, and going to listen to lectures from the Immortal Grandmaster, just like many other ascetic cultivators.

In my spare time, I also learn the techniques of a pharmacist and try to concoct some potions in order to better understand the two talents of [Spiritual Awareness] and [Spiritual Realm].

It was like a sophisticated machine steadily moving forward, or like a parched desert frantically absorbing nutrients.
