Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 227 Testing the Sword in the Zhuyue Star Region
In the pavilion in the valley, Chu He silently stroked the silver mark between his eyebrows.

"finally……"

"The fundamental laws of space acknowledge that I am now probably completely equivalent to the [Advanced King-level] in terms of my understanding of these laws!"

After a while.

Kaka!

The Beast God Armor extended into a helmet, once again concealing the face.

A hint of excitement flickered in his exposed eyes.

The spirit wine brewed by the Marquis-level Ziqian Wanshe did indeed bring him considerable gains.

Although his life gene level did not increase, he gained a lot in his understanding of the fundamental laws of space and directly gained the recognition of the fundamental laws of space!

"My purpose in coming to the extraterritorial battlefield is to hone my skills," Chu He pondered to himself. "Now, my understanding of the laws has broken through again; the only thing I lack is practical combat experience!"

"Especially the lack of practical experience, we must go through battle after battle to discover the problems and correct them."

Although I gained a lot, my understanding of the principles is only a theoretical foundation.

Theory is important.

The "secret methods" for applying theory are also very important!
Secret techniques can be described as a methodology that applies theory to actual combat.

This methodology is highly personal.

Like the "Suspended Mirror" secret technique created by the Suspended Mirror King, or the "Heavenly Frost Sword Technique" created by the Lord of Ice Peak, and so on...

These are the secret techniques best suited for their own use, and only when used by the individuals themselves can they unleash their full power!
"The sword technique that best suits me..." Chu He fell into deep thought.

To date, he has learned quite a few secret techniques.

From the "Ice Soul Secret Manual" gifted by the King of Qianwu Kingdom at the beginning, to the "Suspended Mirror" personally explained by the King of Suspended Mirror, and the "Heavenly Frost Ice Extreme Secret Manual" bestowed by the Lord of Ice Peaks...

He even created a top-tier secret technique called "The Moon and the Sword".

Since Chu He also cultivates the laws of water and space, these secret techniques are actually quite suitable for him!

but!

As mentioned before, secret techniques are something that is highly personal!

Therefore, the secret technique that is truly suitable for Chuhe must be created by Chuhe himself!
"The 'Moonlight Blade' that I created back then was just a top-tier secret technique."

"However... 'Moonlight Blade' has not reached its limit!"

"Seriously speaking, it actually represents four directions of swordsmanship, and all of them can be extended indefinitely!"

"The first move, 'Looking North to the Ends of the Earth, My Spirit is Like a Mountain,' represents overwhelming the enemy with sheer force, using sheer power to defeat all techniques! It is as fierce and powerful as a mountain, ready to unleash its full potential."

"The second move, 'The Bright Moon Floats on the River and Illuminates the Vast World,' represents using illusion to deceive the enemy and kill them invisibly! Floating light and flowing shadows, the real and the illusory are intertwined."

"The third move, [Dragon's Roar in the Box, Stars Fall in the Wilderness], represents overwhelming the enemy with dominance, which no army can withstand! The falling stars are like iron, and the dominance is unparalleled."

"The fourth move, 'Drunkenly Listening to the Snowflakes Fill the World,' represents defeating the enemy with intention, and defeating the enemy with no moves! Snow covers the mortal world, without form or trace."

Recalling the state of mind he had when creating "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Chu He felt a surge of pride.

To be honest, his current swordsmanship skills can already be described as "minor mastery"!

Of course, the term "minor mastery of swordsmanship" here is only used in comparison to the swordsmanship of the Ice Peak Lord.

Who is the Lord of the Ice Peak?

That is a great being who ranks among the top in the entire human race!

A figure renowned throughout the billions of races in the entire primordial universe!
The foundation that Chuhe has laid is so good that it's outrageous!

However, his cultivation time was ultimately too short.

The results gained from cultivation must also be tested through combat.

"It's decided! Next, I need to fight and battle against various powerful alien races to accumulate combat experience. Based on each actual battle, I will learn from the experience and continuously improve and enhance this 'Moonlight Blade'!"

"Star Devourer".

Chu He smiled and reached out his hand. The Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass that covered the entire valley quickly shrank and transformed into a small golden grass that merged into his arm.

"Let's go, test the blade!" Chu He's eyes blazed as he released the spaceship.

……

They were traveling at near-light speed in a pitch-black, saucer-shaped spaceship within the Zhuyue star system.

"Master, the detection instruments have detected an immortal squad on a planet 1.3 million kilometers to the left front of the spaceship. The squad consists of one Marquis and four ordinary immortals."

"Too weak." Chu He stood in the control room, gazing at the planet to his left.

From space, that planet appears to be shrouded in mist.

You can vaguely see some undulating mountains on the planet, and some carvings on the huge mountain walls that seem to have existed for hundreds of millions of years, yet still retain traces.

moment--

"Master, the detection instruments have detected a team traveling together on a mineral planet 2.2 million kilometers away. There are three Marquis-level Immortals traveling together."

"Only three marquises? That's not enough!" Chu He shook his head. "It would be best to find one king-level official!"

"Only a battle against the King can truly test my current swordsmanship!"

"Moreover, the spoils of war that can be obtained from a Marquis Immortal are too few!"

After drinking and digesting the spirit wine brewed primarily from the immortal, marquis-level spirits of the Ziqian Thousand Serpent Clan, he realized...

With his current life gene level reaching a hundred times, he is already able to compete with special life forms, and even the royal bloodline of the demon race is far inferior to him.

Perhaps only by brewing wine with special life forms can his life gene level be improved.

……

"It's a pity that there aren't many who can be granted the title of King and become Immortal!" In the control room, Chu He sat bored in his seat, tapping the control panel in front of him with his fingers.

"Da da da!"

Long, slender, fair fingers with distinct knuckles tapped rhythmically on the control panel.

"I've been flying around the Zhuyue Starfield for 40 days and haven't found a single team with the title of King."

"What happened to the promise of a bunch of immortal kings being crowned?"

“Master!” the shipboard AI replied, “According to the data, it will take about a hundred years to travel through the entire Zhuyue Starfield.”

"And that was under the condition of flying in a straight line the entire way!"

"If the premise is to search the entire Zhuyue Starfield, it would take a full 100,000 years to fly back and forth to explore!"

“Master, according to probability calculations, even if the King Immortal remains in the same position after a forty-day search, the probability of encountering him is infinitely close to zero.”

"Stop!" Chu He said with a dark face. "You don't need to say such nonsense anymore."

"Obey my orders!"

"Reduce the shielding function of small detection instruments to the third level."

"Since my large probes have a limited range and can't find them, then let them come looking for me!"

The so-called large and small detectors were purchased by Chu He with a large amount of points when he was in Chaos City.

However, when purchasing large detectors, although the detection intensity is very high, the range is only 3 million kilometers.

I thought 3 million kilometers would be enough, but I never expected...

Now, the shielding function of the small detector has been reduced to the third level—so as long as Chu He appears within the range of some advanced detectors of the alien race, he will be detected!

Such a detector, capable of bypassing the third-level shielding function of a small detector, is generally only available to those who have achieved the highest rank of immortality!
"Yes! Master!"

……

About twenty days passed after Chuhe lowered the blocking function.

6.4 million kilometers away from the Chuhe spacecraft, a biological spacecraft with a dark green body is flying.

Inside the spaceship's control room, a wolf-headed, human-bodied creature covered in scales roared incessantly.

"Damn humans, they actually have an immortal-level metallic life form assisting them!"

"If it weren't for the metal creature's incredibly strong defense, I could have killed them all with a single strike!"

Beside this immortal being with a human body and a wolf's head, a foreign immortal with butterfly-like wings and a huge, bulging compound eye on his forehead spoke in a deep voice:

"Humans are far too wealthy. Even among those who have been granted the title of Marquis and are considered immortal, many possess immortal-level plant life forms and immortal-level metal life forms!"

Another immortal being, around 18 meters tall and seemingly made entirely of black alloy, looked on with envy.
"Humans are indeed very advanced in various aspects, such as mechanics and biology."

"Moreover, there is a unique [Virtual Universe Network] in the universe, which can unite the power of the entire human race into one force, making the most efficient use of resources."

"Other races..." the immortal of the rock-type life form shook his head, "are simply no match for them!"

"Humph!"

The immortal being with a human body and a wolf's head, covered in scales, sneered: "Humans are inherently weaker, and are generally inferior to our demon race! They can only rival us by relying on various external means."

“That’s right!” the immortal with butterfly-like wings agreed wholeheartedly.

"what?"

Suddenly, the immortal of the rock-like race looked down at the screen on his arm guard, and his expression immediately brightened with joy.

"A spaceship has been discovered; it represents human immortality!"

"Hmm? A lone human immortal?" the demon immortal with a human body and a wolf's head asked hastily, "Could it be a King-level immortal?"

"No! Judging from the detection results, the human immortals in this spaceship should only be Marquis Immortals!" the immortal of the rock-type life form laughed.

"A title of Marquis?" The man with a human body, scales, and a wolf's head sneered. "A mere Marquis of Immortal rank dares to swagger around like this in the Zhu Yue Starfield... Humans are truly too arrogant!"

"They've probably become invincible elsewhere, so they want to try their luck in the Zhuyue Star Region... Hmph, they're really courting death!"

The immortal being of the rock-type life form said in a deep voice, "Kill him...you have no objections, right?"

“Of course we have no objections,” the two immortal demons laughed.

"Alright!" the immortal of the rock-type life form ordered, "Approach that spaceship."

Whoosh!
The biological spaceship rapidly approached Chu He's spaceship.

……

Just as the spaceship flew into the scanning range of Chuhe's detection instruments, Chuhe quickly spotted it as well.

Looking at the screen, Chu He's eyes lit up as he saw one immortal king and two immortal marquises. He raised his hand, picked up a cup of spirit wine, and drank it down.

These three immortal beings came from three different clans: the Kawu Clan, the Tail Remnant Clan, and the Fear Gold Hou Clan.

Kawu Clan: Rock-type life forms.

They have all sorts of strange appearances, some resembling humans, others resembling demons, but in essence they are all rock life forms.

In particular, their torso, which seems to be cast from alloy, and their height of about 15-20 meters, are the most conspicuous features of the Kawu tribe.

Tail Remnant Clan: A powerful clan, not a vassal of the demon race.

It has butterfly-like wings and huge, bulging compound eyes on its forehead.

Its most distinctive attack method is to shoot out white, spider-like threads from its fingers.

This is also the origin of the name "Tail Remnant Clan".

The Fearful Golden Hou Clan: A creature of flesh and blood.

Because of its connection with the Sirius Clan and its impressive lineage, it is one of the royal families of the demon race.

The Sirius Clan is one of the eighteen royal clans of the demon race!

The Fear-Gold Hou tribe has a wolf's head and a single horn, and its body is covered with golden scales. It is known for its ability to devour prey.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a shrunken, wolf-like [Golden Horned Beast].

These three races are clearly all alien races.

"What a pity, the Sirius Clan isn't here!" Chu He sighed, then his eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "For testing my blade... I'll choose them."

……

The biological spacecraft is gradually approaching.

"Look, that human, a Marquis-level Immortal, is leisurely drinking." The Marquis-level Immortal of the Wind-Hidden Wolf Clan pointed at the screen on his arm guard and sneered.

"If he knew that he was being targeted by an immortal king... he'd probably be scared out of his wits!"

"Tsk tsk!" The Tail Remnant Clan Immortal also sneered, "Poor little guy... let's just let him die quickly!"

……

Inside the jet-black, saucer-shaped spaceship.

Chu He sat in the control room, holding a wine glass in his hand, taking a small sip, a smile spreading across his face:

"Pitiful? Who is truly pitiful?"

"The ignorant are doomed!"

"Just like you now, because you lack sufficient knowledge, you don't know what awaits you, so you will eventually fall into a trap and encounter danger!"

"Countdown to 30 seconds."

"10...9...8..."

Using the large detector, Chu He was able to clearly know the distance between himself and the biological spaceship.

boom!
A ball of light, continuously compressed and condensed from the power of immortality, instantly traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and directly bombarded the black flying saucer on which Chu He was sitting.

An ordinary E-class spaceship, without any modifications, would naturally be torn apart instantly by an immortal attack.

Numerous alloy debris fragments flew in all directions.

In a short while, the outer space gradually stabilized and calmed down.

In the aftershocks of the explosion, a black figure stood in the void, holding a battle sword, pointing it at the biological spaceship.

“Little guy, you’ve got guts! A mere Marquis Immortal dares to come to the Zhuyue Starfield alone!” A shrill voice came from the mouth of a Marquis Immortal of the Tail Remnant Clan.

"They've cultivated to the level of Marquis and Immortal, yet they're still this foolish?"

"His stupidity is what allows us to earn military merits!" From another direction, the Immortal King of the Fearful Golden Hou clan laughed loudly.

"Don't waste time, finish him off quickly!" The Immortal King of the Kawu Clan roared angrily, his voice deep and resonant.

Three immortal beings from different races completely surrounded Chu He from different directions.

"It's so noisy!"

Chu He's gaze was icy as he swept over the three alien immortals.
