Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 138 The Essence of Laws
After a long internal struggle, Minghai finally put aside this tempting idea.

"inappropriate!"

Shaking his head, Minghai thought to himself:

"The Nine Swords Venerable must be watching my movements. With the authority of the Universe Venerable in the Virtual Universe Company, he can easily see what I've bought!"

"If we really do that, leaking the secrets of the Blood Sea is one issue, but the most important thing is that it will likely displease the Nine Swords Venerable, making him feel that I don't respect him!"

Minghai never worried about his Blood Sea secret being leaked, because the human race was extremely tolerant of its internal geniuses and would not question what secrets they possessed.

But if it displeases the master, making him feel that he is not respecting him, then that would be bad.

They clearly told Minghai to buy the complete "Mysterious Void Manual," but he pretended to listen but didn't, only buying the first two levels.
If this were to actually happen, Nine Swords Venerable would most likely not say anything, but he would definitely look down on Minghai, and his future treatment would inevitably be diminished.

Such behavior of losing sight of the bigger picture is not something a wise person would do.

Besides, before achieving immortality, my current talent is already sufficient. Whether or not I advance to the Blood Sea realm won't have a significant impact, so why rush it?

With this in mind, Minghai clicked "Buy the whole set" and purchased all five layers of the "Mysterious Void Manual".

"drop!"

"Your Highness Minghai, you have purchased the complete 'Mysterious Void Manual,' which you can read at any time in the background!"

"Considering you are on your way to the headquarters of Virtual Universe Corporation, the delivery of the Reality Codex will take place after you arrive at the headquarters!"

The crisp sound echoed in the room.

Minghai nodded in satisfaction and was about to head backstage to watch "The Mysterious Void Manual".

Suddenly remembering something, he sent a message to Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

"I have become a disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable. My master instructed me that during my thirty-year journey to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters and Chaos City, all my cultivation should focus on comprehending the laws. I think you should do the same; be careful with your points."

After sending the message, he focused his energy on the newly purchased "Mysterious Void Manual" and devoted himself to studying it.

Virtual Universe Company will give points to the top 1,000 people in the Genius Battle for free.

The Primordial Realm grants 100,000 points, the Primordial Beginning Realm grants 10,000 points, the Heaven and Earth Realm grants 1,000 points, and the Doomsday Realm grants 100 points.

Given that in the original timeline, Luo Feng, under Babata's influence, bought a whole bunch of useless secret techniques, weapons, equipment, as well as Life Fruit and Lan Ke Fruit.

Therefore, Minghai gave a special instruction and even brought out the name of the master he had just become sworn disciples with, believing that Luo Feng would consider things carefully this time and would not waste his points, so that he wouldn't be unable to afford even the 800-point "Blood Flowing" after entering Chaos City.

……

On a spaceship traveling at 20 times the speed of light in the dark universe.

"This is the one we should choose!"

"This one is good too, it suits you perfectly!"

"So expensive!"

"Bought it!"

……

Luo Feng was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of secret techniques, weapons, equipment, and treasures before him. He kept discussing and debating with Babata.

Sudden.

Babata, who was even more anxious than Luo Feng, suddenly fell silent and stood frozen in place.

"Babata, what's wrong?"

Luo Feng asked curiously.

"Minghai actually took the great Cosmic Venerable as his master!"

Babata's eyes widened, and he said incredulously.

After a while.

Understanding what a Universe Venerable meant—a great being whom even their master, Hu Yanbo, had only heard of and almost never seen—Luo Feng was stunned, just like Babata.

"Alright, Babata!"

In the end, Luo Feng was the first to recover and said, "Grandpa Ming performed so well in the Genius Battle, it's only natural that he would be noticed by the great Universe Venerable. Let's not talk about that anymore, take a look at the hint Grandpa Ming gave me!"

"I've seen it!"

Babata said with a hint of resentment:

"The arrangement of the Great Universe Venerable must be correct. Don't buy weapons, secret techniques, equipment, and fruits of life. Instead, take a good look at the secret techniques that help you comprehend the laws, especially the laws of space!"
"Ok!"

Luo Feng nodded, and then discussed with Babata what secret techniques they should buy.

I can't make up my mind no matter what I choose.

There was nothing they could do. Not to mention Luo Feng, even Babata was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of secret techniques and had no idea which one was right for him.

"Forget it, I'll continue cultivating the 'Myriad Threads Flow' and the Divine Weapon!"

Finally, Luo Feng shook his head and said:
"We'll consider buying any secret techniques once we get to Chaos City!"

Babata nodded in agreement.

It will take three years to reach the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company. During this time, the legacy and divine weapon left by Hu Yanbo will be enough for Luo Feng to cultivate, so there is no rush.

Meanwhile, Hong and Lei Shen, who also received the message from Minghai, after careful consideration, did not spend their points to buy anything, but instead decided to continue cultivating the secret techniques of the Meteorite Star lineage.

……

Yuxiang Mountain, a primitive manor area.

Minghai carefully studied the first level of the "Mysterious Void Manual".

The core of this layer is the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique." Through this sword technique, one gradually delves into the origin of space and, guided by the sword technique, comprehends the essence of the laws of space.

The prerequisite for cultivation is to enter the threshold of the spatial laws, which is extremely difficult. People who are not talented enough cannot even get started.

The Nine Swords Venerable's suggestion that he purchase this secret technique clearly indicates his belief that Minghai possesses the talent to cultivate the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique."

In addition, the Xuan Kong Sword Technique also corresponds to the Ice Peak Stele among the 52 Chaos Steles of the Human Race!
Minghai was taken aback when he saw the 'Ice Peak Stele'.

"The Ice Peak Monument? The Lord of the Ice Peak?"

He instantly thought of the Ice Peak Lord, one of the human race's giants.

This is not hard to understand, as many Chaos Monuments are named after their creators, such as the 'Giant Axe Chaos Monument' and the 'Dragon-Walking Chaos Monument'.

In other words, apart from the Lord of Ice Peak, who else among the human race would dare to name the Chaos Monument they created 'Ice Peak'?
However, Minghai didn't dwell on this point and quickly focused his attention on the Xuan Kong Sword Technique.

As for which Chaos Stele to choose, we'll decide when we get to Chaos City.

The Nine Swords Venerable didn't specify that he should choose the Ice Peak Stele.

If it's truly suitable for you, then choose it. Why pick a Chaos Monument created by a fourth or even fifth-order universe lord?
After memorizing the first layer of content, especially the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique," Minghai arrived at his own virtual cultivation space and began to cultivate.

The Xuan Kong Sword Technique follows the "Water and Emptiness" principle and contains an ethereal artistic conception. For Ming Hai, it is not difficult to get started, and he completed it in less than a month.

However, while it is easy to get started, it is difficult to master. To delve into the origins of this sword technique and comprehend the essence of the laws of space is even more difficult.

The secret technique is wonderful, but it requires sufficient talent to cultivate.

If it were any other genius from the original region, trying to comprehend the essence of the laws through the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique," most would not necessarily achieve anything even after a million years of arduous cultivation.

Even for a peerless genius like Bolan, who emerges only once in countless eras, it would take decades, hundreds of years, or even centuries to achieve success.

Take Lian Luo as another example. Although he was not a genius who appeared only once in ten thousand eras, his talent far surpassed that of ordinary original members. It would take him at least a thousand years to cultivate the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique" and comprehend the essence of the laws of space.

Even a peerless genius, appearing only once every ten million epochs, could at most sense the essence of the laws of space in three years, but would absolutely not be able to master them.

In fact, the Nine Swords Venerable's expectation for Minghai was that he could sense the essence of the laws of space during his three-year journey, and then officially embark on the path of comprehending the essence of the laws of space in Chaos City.

No one else would have had such hope, but Minghai was different; he was a monstrous genius, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs.

However, the Nine Swords Venerable was clearly unaware that while Minghai's comprehension and cultivation talent were indeed a once-in-ten-million-epoch phenomenon, his compatibility with the laws of the universe was comparable to that of a special life form, reaching the maximum value of the original universe!
Or rather, the current Underworld Sea is a special kind of life.

Because the body reborn from the blood demon possesses a hundred times the genetic material of ordinary life!
Three years later.

During one of his practices of the "Mysterious Void Sword Technique," Minghai seized upon a glimmer of inspiration and, guided by the ethereal essence within the sword technique, grasped a peculiar spatial fluctuation—the very essence of the laws of space!
While his comprehension of spatial laws didn't improve much, the precision with which he mastered them more than doubled!
