Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 138 It took you so long because I upgraded your ultimate skill! (3.1k)

next moment.

He opened his eyes and got up, the combination of those secret patterns appearing in his mind, including the incomplete secret pattern diagram No. 32 that was originally used in "Empty Blade".

This rune pattern is roughly the entirety of the complete rune pattern.

Clearly, when Venerable Yunming created this unique and secret technique, he must have had some reference point. Directly copying and replicating it would be impossible for him to reach the level of this incomplete secret pattern diagram based solely on his own understanding of the laws.

Luo Feng can't get there either.

If one could truly analyze and understand this secret pattern, one would probably have to be at least a cosmic overlord, since a fusion law only has a few secret patterns.

but
Luo Feng has already mastered the application of multiple secret patterns.

Now we can replace the incomplete 32-secret pattern diagram in "Kongming Blade" with the complete 32-secret pattern diagram, and then make slight modifications to other parts.

Luo Feng thought so.

The power of the "Empty Blade" can definitely be enhanced!

It can increase by about 10%!
"rise!"

In Luo Feng's mind, he replicated the secret pattern, replacing each part and filling in some details with his own understanding of the laws to keep it functioning.

Because the "Empty Blade" does not use a complete secret pattern diagram.

Therefore, he couldn't directly fill in the gaps with individual rune diagrams. Instead, he used his understanding of the laws to make some repairs and get it running.

His understanding of the laws is at the level of a mid-level universe venerable, only one level below Venerable Yunming.

Inside the mansion in Chaos City.

There is a room with a hidden world inside, which is a 'training room' specially built for him by the Lord of Chaos City. In fact, it is a kind of 'realm within a realm'.

It is merely a world within the 'initial universe'.

On this vast continent, Luo Feng didn't have to worry about affecting the mansions outside. He unleashed an upgraded version of the "Empty Blade"!
A blade of light, thinner than ever, slashed out.

"Boom~"

A flash of light slashed towards the distance, and planets were sliced ​​in half one after another. Luo Feng watched closely.

Judging.

He smiled.
"It's done!"

"Vaine power increased by approximately 13%, exceeding 10%!"

"Hahaha!"

After Luo Feng finished laughing, he gradually came to his senses.

"Babata, Chen Qi, it took me over three hundred years to cultivate this time?!"

Three hundred years is cosmic time.

During this study of the secret rune diagram, Luo Feng's consciousness was completely immersed, and all his clones were also focused on comprehending it...

“Yes.” Chen Qi replied in the system space, then he smiled and said, “But it’s worth it. You actually spend most of your time memorizing the rune diagrams, and you’ve already memorized many complete rune diagrams.”

"After that, the time it takes you to study the ultimate techniques will be greatly reduced."

"Yes, it's worth it." Luo Feng nodded in agreement, but then he suddenly remembered something and said, "The decades I agreed to meet with Venerable Yunming have passed too quickly. I need to hurry and see him; he's probably getting impatient!"

Debt Club.

Venerable Yunming was indeed getting impatient.

We have been unable to contact His Highness Luo Feng for three hundred years now.
I haven't been adventuring in various secret realms lately because I need to be ready to give lectures at any time, waiting for information from His Highness Luo Feng.

This was the agreement made during the original bet.

When teaching His Highness, one must not participate in dangerous activities such as life-or-death adventures. Otherwise, if one encounters a life-or-death crisis for several years, or even dies, His Highness will be left with questions and no one to answer them. Should one continue to wait, or should one switch to the next subject?
It will affect His Highness's cultivation progress.

Since it's a betting rule.

就：
I am willing to admit defeat!

How could a high-level cosmic venerable dare to be dishonest with Prince Luo Feng?
so.
When he had nothing else to do, he would stay in the club collecting methods to earn treasure points, intending to use them later.

"Venerable Yunming, what's troubling you?" Venerable Sixun walked over with a giant fish head on his head, which also had a huge mouth.

Venerable Yunming had two heads, one of which said, "Hasn't three hundred years passed already? His Highness told me that learning my 'Empty Blade' would take at most a few decades, and then he would notify me, and that would be the end of the course."

"I can continue to take risks to pay off my debts."

"Now, three hundred years have passed, and I still don't know when His Highness Luo Feng will be able to give me a definite answer."

"Your Highness hasn't replied yet? Why don't you ask Qianwu?" Venerable Si Xun pointed to the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler not far away, who was receiving a cosmic overlord from another race, 'Palace Master Xiyu'.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom heard the voice and explained, "Your Highness has recently made some breakthroughs. His communication is being managed by his intelligent life form. If it's nothing important, please don't disturb him."

“That’s how it is.” Venerable Yunming’s two heads were both filled with worry.

He continued:

"I have also exchanged and communicated with some cosmic venerables about my 'Empty Blade', but the time they have mastered is all measured in tens of thousands of years."

"They are all at the level of cosmic venerables who have comprehended the laws."

"It's normal that it takes decades to master it."

"It's been three hundred years now, so it's probably unlikely. If Your Highness can master it in one or two thousand years, that would be a level that I think is very worthy of your status."

"Your Highness, you can rest assured about your work." Venerable Si Xun patted Venerable Yun Ming on the shoulder, his head resembling a large fish and his mouth wide open, and was about to leave. *Whoosh!*

Golden light flashes.

"Welcome SSS-level creditors to the Debt Club!"

All eyes turned to them.

Yunming also looked over reflexively. The only creditors of this level were those few, including Prince Luo Feng, whom he was currently thinking about.

He looked over and, to his surprise, it really was His Highness.

He hurried over and said:

"Your Highness, how is your cultivation progressing? Is there anything I can teach you?"

“There’s no need for further instruction; I’ve already mastered it. However, I’m very sorry, I was too engrossed in my cultivation and researched some other things. It took me over three hundred years, exceeding the agreement,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

The cultivation is complete?
The ultimate martial art "Empty Blade" created by Venerable Yunming, a high-level cosmic venerable, was completed in just over three hundred years.

He looked at each of the powerful kings.

Even the high-level cosmic beings were stunned.

The cosmic overlord, Palace Master Xiyu, also looked over. Back then, when His Highness Luo Feng said it would take several decades, some others were skeptical, but time passed little by little.

They understood it too.

Your Highness's talent is indeed outstanding and astonishing.

However, based on Luo Feng's astonishing cultivation speed when he passed through the Primal Tongtian Mountain last time, they deduced that it might take him ten thousand years to master it.
Your Highness has lived for a thousand years, which is already worthy of your current status and position.

But if it takes three hundred years.

That's simply amazing.
That's terrifying!
"You really mastered it?" Venerable Yunming's eyes were full of excitement, so he could continue his adventures.

Luo Feng nodded, saying with a hint of apology, "I said it would be within a few decades, but because of me, you've had to wait for over two hundred years..."

"It's alright, Your Highness. You don't need to feel sorry. You've mastered my 'Void Blade' for over three hundred years, and you're only a Realm Lord. That's already quite remarkable! And you've already taken great care of my situation." Venerable Yunming didn't care about the past few hundred years and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"No, no, no, let me finish." Luo Feng waved his hand and continued, "I spent over three hundred years not learning your ultimate technique, but because I improved your 'Empty Blade' and increased its power by a little over ten percent. Since it's your secret technique, I'll give you a copy."

"Consider this my compensation for being late for the agreed time."

A thick book of secret techniques and profound knowledge.

The "Empty Blade - Improved Version" has appeared.

It hovered between Luo Feng and Venerable Yunming.

"Improved? Increased in power by 10%? Really?!" Venerable Yunming's two heads widened, his eyes bulging!

Inside the Debt Club, all the cosmic venerables heard these words.

Even those who had previously looked away turned their gazes back to Prince Luo Feng, shocked by his words.

"You'll know once you study it and try it out. This unique and secret technique is perfect for you, and it should significantly increase the power you unleash. You can go and learn it." Luo Feng smiled and said nothing more.

Finally, he said:

"Qianwu, I'll be leaving now. I'll call you later to summon the next high-level cosmic venerable to demonstrate my ultimate technique to me."

Luo Feng left the Debt Club.

However, it aroused the curiosity of many cosmic venerables.

Three hundred years is enough to master the ultimate secret techniques of a high-level cosmic venerable, and yet His Highness Luo Feng claims to have improved them, increasing their power by ten percent?!
How could this not pique their curiosity!

Inside the Debt Club, one after another, high-level cosmic venerables appeared. Many of them had come after hearing the news, but they arrived too late and missed seeing Prince Luo Feng.

"Yunming, Yunming, hurry up and take a look at the secret technique, go and learn it, and see if it really has any effect!" Venerable Si Xun, with a large fish head on his head, was very curious.

The cosmic overlord, Palace Master Xiyu, also looked over. She walked over and said, "Venerable Yunming, everyone is very curious about your unique skills and secret techniques. We naturally won't snatch or steal them, but regarding whether Your Highness has upgraded your secret techniques..."

"We hope you can demonstrate your power later and satisfy our curiosity."

"If it is true, Your Highness not only mastered your ultimate secret technique, 'Empty Blade,' over three hundred years, but also improved it for you."

"This is simply..."

Palace Master Xiyu was well aware that if it weren't something she was good at, she wouldn't be able to improve the secret techniques for other universe venerables.

especially
It only took a little over three hundred years.

That's terrifying!

"Alright, I'll go back and cultivate now. Demonstrating its power to everyone is nothing special." Venerable Yunming looked at the growing number of Universe Venerables in the Debt Club, noting that this was the first time he had received so much attention.

Finished
Venerable Yunming then left the Debt Club to study this new thing:

"Empty Blade - Improved Version". If its power truly increases by 10%, and it suits him, then that alone is worthwhile.

His strength can increase by nearly 10%!
because.

The strength of Venerable Yunming and the effectiveness of his treasured longsword are mostly achieved by relying on his self-created ultimate technique, "Empty Blade"!
Once your ultimate skill is improved, your overall strength will also increase significantly.

His Highness Luo Feng improved upon his unique skill.

That was a huge help to his cultivation!
Three hundred years, what's that?
"Let me examine it and see where it has been changed..." Venerable Yunming flipped through the secret manual little by little, recalling the original version he had created.
