Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 115 The Origin of the Ancestral Vein, the Third Avatar, Complete! (3.3k views)

"Good father." King Nightmare Candle was overjoyed.

They arrived at the territory of Venerable Fire Erosion.

The Nightmare Candle King stared at the three small, transparent bottles in his hand.

The three drops of Boundary Essence liquid inside, which looked like a dazzling starry sky, filled Nightmare Candle King with anticipation. He opened a small bottle, cut a hole in his body according to the instructions, and let the Boundary Essence liquid flow into his body.

"My perception of spatial laws has indeed become much clearer!"

King Nightmare Candle was overjoyed.

He buried himself in cultivating and studying the laws of space.

but
Year after year passed.

The Nightmare Candle King grew increasingly deranged.

He roared in his seclusion:

"What kind of junk is this? It doesn't work at all!"

"can't read."

"What's the use of understanding the laws of space? I can't understand them at all! And it doesn't improve anything at all!"

"How could Zhenyan break through so easily? Is it because the quality of the one Luo Feng sold was different from the one he gave Zhenyan?"

"This thing is nowhere near worth 200 Treasure Points!!!"

Outside the secluded retreat, Venerable Fiery frowned. He loved his son dearly, but he was also increasingly aware that he couldn't spoil him like this.

He knew that his son could not break through to the Venerable level through this method.

All he hoped for was that Nightmare Candle King would become stronger. He was actually quite happy that Nightmare Candle King had taken the initiative to ask for an improvement in his cultivation.

The calm voice of Venerable Erosion Fire echoed through the secluded retreat area.

"Since you think this item isn't worth two hundred treasure points, then don't use the remaining two drops."

"After a hundred years have passed, you'll begin special training directly under my guidance!"

"Father!"

The Nightmare Candle King heard about the special training.

He immediately regained his senses, and the madness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of fear.

Venerable Fire Erosion said calmly:

"There is no room for negotiation!"

“I’ve noticed that your mindset is becoming increasingly problematic. I can’t let you continue like this, otherwise I’ll only be harming you.”

Sometimes, Venerable Fire Eclipse was also puzzled as to why his son's aptitude was so different from his own...

In just eighty years.

The matter of selling the Bone Marrow Fluid back then.

They sold out very quickly.

Because the value of the Boundary Essence Liquid was clearly more than its price, of the 750 drops of Boundary Essence Liquid sold to the human race, 250 drops were reserved for the title of King, and in the end, they ended up in the hands of more than 130 Kings.

One after another.

Humanity has gained forty-seven more Space Venerables!
But this is definitely not the end, because some of the Kings did not have the same depth of experience as the True Evolution Venerable and the Blood-Drinking Venerable. The True Evolution King's breakthrough was also achieved under the effect of the Boundary Essence Liquid, after more than seventy years of cultivation.

The usage period of these eighty years is not even over yet.

Some were granted the title of king.

For example, King Tongnan borrowed money from his clan and also borrowed a precious treasure to buy two drops in total. The cultivation effect could last for two hundred years.

Some even bought three drops when they were crowned kings!

The forty-seven Space Venerables are just the beginning; most of these forty-odd individuals have only begun to break through in recent years.

Among the more than 130 kings, very few were like Nightmare Candle King, who lacked confidence and whose fathers were willing to spend expensive treasures on him.

Most of them are confident in their ability to break through, which is why they are willing to spend so many valuable points.

At least 80% of them will be able to make breakthroughs one after another.

The same was true for the Hongmeng, because the price was higher, the buyers were more confident, and the probability of breakthrough was also higher. As a result, many Universe Venerables were born in the Hongmeng.

When the first few Cosmic Venerables were born.

This news caused a sensation among numerous races throughout the universe. Many races learned through intelligence networks that the human race had obtained a treasure called 'World Marrow Fluid,' which could increase the clarity of their perception of spatial laws.

This treasure is nothing special.

However, the quantity is quite large, a full 750 drops. Including the 200 drops from Hongmeng, it totals nearly 1,000 drops.

And
Five hundred drops from the human race were bought by the Time Venerables. In the next few hundred or thousand years, with the help of the World Marrow Liquid, perhaps one of the Time Venerables will suddenly master the complete laws of space and become the master of the universe!

That would be astonishing.

At the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, Luo Feng, the Soul Devouring Beast, was deep within a cultivation area.

The inner world.

On the vast continent, an oval-shaped golden egg trembled continuously; this golden egg was only a little over ten meters tall.

Chen Qi looked at the golden egg in the system space.

He remembered that in the original story, Luo Feng's Youhai clone's golden egg was tens of thousands of kilometers long, but he didn't panic.

The essence of the Netherworld Avatar is flesh and blood.

What is being nurtured is the original body.

The ancestral vein is a rock-based life form that gave birth to an ancestral stone core. The egg of the ancestral stone core is ten meters tall, which is a normal size.

It is recorded in the detailed information about the ancestral lineage.

The maximum expansion limit of the entire ancestral mountain range is no smaller than that of the Nine Nether Sea at the same genetic level. The large size of the divine body is one of the reasons why Chen Qi chose this clone.

"Today is the day when the ancestral lineage's avatar is born."

Looking at the golden egg in front of him, Luo Feng, the Soul Devouring Beast, felt a strong sense of anticipation. This clone, the 'Original Ancestral Vein,' could evolve over time, devouring treasures of various attributes to enhance his 'Ancestral Stone Core.'

Whether at the genetic level or in terms of the clarity of perception of the Ten Laws, both can be increased!
For example, one of the two major superior principles:

The law of time!

Luo Feng's understanding is currently very limited.

He has been primarily studying the Law of Metal and the Law of Space, waiting for this clone to be successfully conceived. Then, during the Realm Lord period, he will rely on the Ancestral Vein clone to quickly gain recognition of other fundamental laws.

Furthermore, the powerful life-saving ability of the Ancestral Vein is something Luo Feng values ​​highly.

Chen Qi also had some expectations in the system space.

"Luo Feng is growing so fast and acquiring treasures so quickly. Even with just a few small loans, my cultivation is progressing faster and faster. I've already reached the Realm Lord level. If I have the chance, I will definitely master the recognition of all the fundamental laws during my Realm Lord period!"

"In terms of resource acquisition."

"Luo Feng is the key. He has enough talent and even enough martial power to ensure that humans can trade fairly, so many humans will help him earn more resources in order to improve themselves."

"This way, Luo Feng can become stronger, and I can also benefit, thus creating a positive cycle."

More than three hundred years have passed.

The ancestral clone of the Primordial Traces finally made some movement... a loud 'crackling' sound erupted, and the oval golden egg was covered with numerous cracks.

finally.
The dense network of cracks connected to form a giant spider web, accompanied by:

'Click~'

One sound!
The golden egg broke open.

A giant rock containing ten colors of flowing light appeared. The rock's shape resembled transparent glass, presenting an irregular small mountain peak shape. Inside, there was a large amount of flowing, colorful essence liquid, and each color had a distinct law-like characteristic.

They are:
The subordinate laws governing space and the five major spatial categories of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as time and the three major time categories of wind, lightning, and light.

Of course, time and space are also included.

There are ten colors in total.

"Chen Qi, it feels so strange to become a rock life form. I have no legs, no feet, I can only float and drift. My attack method is also reckless. I can either condense a rocky mountain and fight in human form." Luo Feng, the ancestral vein of the Primordial Traces, is now that ten-meter-high boulder, which is the 'Ancestral Stone Core'.

Without a massive mountain, the ancestral stone core can be freely manipulated and moved.

Ten meters high.

It's like a small mountain, about the height of a three-story building, flying everywhere on Earth.

Luo Feng sensed it and found that the speed of a simple Ancestral Stone Core was not much slower than that of a normal flesh and blood life form, but it was still somewhat different from that of a winged creature like the Golden Horned Beast with a high gene multiplier.

现在
The ancestral lineage has only a 3-gene multiplicity.

It's low, but it's nothing. We have plenty of resources now. As long as we refine some treasures, we can quickly raise it. A high ceiling is what really matters!

The clarity of the Ten Laws has been improved.

Perfect genes.

Almost absolute defense.

This ceiling is absolutely incredible!

"Chen Qi, shall we continue with the loan?" Luo Feng asked excitedly.

He now possesses many treasures.

He earned over seventy Treasure Points from selling 'World Marrow Liquid' before, and the remaining forty-odd Universe Venerables also contributed a few Treasure Points to him.

In the future, it is estimated that another batch will emerge.

but
When the next round of pre-sales of the Boundary Essence comes, there will likely be even more available, especially among the alien races of the Hong Alliance. Even at the price of 350 Heavy Treasure Points, they are eager to buy it again.

For someone who has been granted the title of king, waiting a few million more epochs is nothing at all.

Chen Qi was also planning to take out a loan in the system space.

The ancestral veins are extremely powerful, and the gene multiplier can naturally and slowly grow to its limit. However, during the improvement process, the clarity of the Ten Laws can also be improved.

It is also very beneficial for cultivation.

Because Chen Qi hadn't used up his previous loan limit, he paid off the entire loan. So now his limit has only increased from over fifty Treasure Points to nearly two hundred Treasure Points.

Chen Qi glanced at his credit limit and decided to test the waters with 20% first.

That is, around 40 treasure points.

"System, grant me a loan for a set of treasures with the best ratio to enhance the core essence of the 'Original Ancestral Vein,' with a usage value controlled at 20% of the credit limit," Chen Qi first instructed.

【…】

"No, it's too expensive."

"I remember that the Ancestral Vein of Origin can refine and devour most items of various law attributes."

"Don't take out those general-purpose items. Take those that have little value and can only be refined and used by very special life forms like the Primordial Ancestral Vein."

Chen Qi looked at the agreements given by the unscrupulous merchant system. The improvement effects were not very strong, but the value was very high. In short, the cost-effectiveness was extremely low.

These are all extremely precious treasures, usable by any living being.

【…】

After rounds of adjustments by Chen Qi, the system finally compiled a list of individuals with varying values, but all of them offered relatively high cost-effectiveness improvements.

【——Loan Agreement——】

[Loan Projects: 'Golden Sand', 'Source Burst Cum', 'Void Annihilation Flower'...]

[Golden Sand: A refining material containing a rich element of metal, extremely hard and difficult to shape. Among refining materials, it is the one that master refiners least like to use...]

[Original Burst: Contains extremely terrifying fire and lightning laws, and is very violent and obvious, making it difficult to conceal. Aside from being used as a 'defense measure' to resist enemies, it has no other use. If refined, it will indiscriminately damage the 'Primordial Ancestral Vein'...]

[Void Annihilation Flower: Contains the power of the laws of time and space...]

[This loan will utilize 20% of your credit limit]

"The clarity of perception of the ten laws of the Primordial Ancestral Vein is improved together. Just like the Golden Horned Beast, using the right ratio is more cost-effective."

"This recipe has all ten elements and various refining materials!"

"Let's see the results; the improvement should be quite noticeable."
