Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 48, Jiang Ming, who will surely amaze the entire universe!

Jiang Ming was also shocked when he saw the Fire God Crystal in Yan Yuanhou's hand.

Even with Jiang Ming's current access level, he cannot see the Vulcan Crystal, which is an immortal-level strategic resource. However, even if he cannot see it, he can roughly guess the value of a single Vulcan Crystal.

Even if the quality is low, such a powerful weapon capable of threatening the Immortal level would still require thousands of Chaos Units.

Slightly better items are worth tens or hundreds of thousands of mixed units.

Jiang Ming couldn't determine the quality of the Fire God Crystal in Yan Yuan Hou's possession, but even the lowest-grade Fire God Crystal was beyond Jiang Ming's current reach.

"Alright, accept it. Cultivate diligently, and I look forward to your performance in the Cosmic Genius Battle."

Marquis Yanyuan handed the Fire God Crystal to Jiang Ming, speaking with a smile.

Jiang Ming's future has exceeded her imagination. When Manlu introduced him to her, she only mentioned that he was a stellar-level martial artist in the ninth realm, suspected to have a high-level bloodline, and had a mysterious background.

Moreover, her growth rate was astonishing, and she was described in detail the progress Jiang Ming had made in his understanding of the laws in recent times.

Let her take me on as a student.

At that time, Marquis Yanyuan was partly acting out of respect for Manluo, and partly out of curiosity about how a genius like Jiang Ming could emerge from such a remote and inaccessible place as the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

A genius who has comprehended nine levels of the Stellar Realm is a genius who would be among the top 1,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The most crucial point is that Manluo's progress is astonishing; she changes almost every day, undergoing a transformation every so often.

Even so, Marquis Yanyuan did not immediately accept Jiang Ming as a student. Instead, after meeting him, they exchanged a few more words and assessed Jiang Ming's level of law.

Only then did he finally accept the student with satisfaction.

At the time, she only thought that Jiang Ming had the potential to become immortal, but as Jiang Ming's talent continued to emerge...

Marquis Yanyuan's evaluation of Jiang Ming also continued to rise, from "hopeful of immortality" to "hopeful of being ennobled as a marquis," all the way up.

Now, Marquis Yanyuan can no longer predict Jiang Ming's future.

In her long life, Jiang Ming had already surpassed her understanding of what a stellar genius was.

……

“Master, the Crimson Flame Continent currently has 6.4 million residents, and each century requires a payment of one million cosmic coins.”

Trade taxes, port taxes, exploitable mineral resources, specialty products, real estate, training rooms, etc...

A total of 0.8 mixed units.

Inside a vast hall, Jiang Ming sat on a golden throne, listening to Chi Yan report to him.

"0.8 mixed units?"

When Jiang Ming heard the number, he felt it was a bit low, but he quickly figured it out.

These territories offer long-term benefits, accumulating over tens of thousands or even millions of years.

Every hundred years, 0.8 units of Hunyuan are accumulated; every ten thousand years, 80 units of Hunyuan are accumulated; and every million years, 8,000 units of Hunyuan can be accumulated.

Given the lifespan of Flame Abyss Star and Flame Abyss Marquis, even a billion years would be but a blink of an eye.

"No wonder strong people start to manage their territories when they reach a certain stage. Although the speed of accumulating resources is not fast, the accumulated wealth can be considerable over time."

Jiang Ming had never quite understood why even a strong person who was used to working alone would do this.

After reaching a certain stage, they will all build their own power base.

Now that I have the financial report of the Crimson Flame Continent, I finally understand what it means to have a steady stream of wealth.

A single star system can contain anywhere from a thousand to several thousand units of mixed energy.

But as long as the business isn't run too badly, it can earn back the money in a few million years.

However, this is contingent on good management.

"As long as you're strong enough, making money is really easy." Looking at the report in his hand, Jiang Ming could roughly estimate how much wealth Flame Abyss Star could provide to Marquis Flame Abyss every hundred years.

However, the current Flame Abyss Star is the result of Flame Abyss Marquis's countless years of management, and in the beginning, the benefits were certainly far less than they are now.

Managing a territory requires a massive investment.

From the territory's financial report, Jiang Ming not only saw the booming income, but also the terrifying strength of his teacher.

Having developed Flame Abyss Star to such an extent, it must have attracted a lot of covetousness.

"It's estimated that the Flame Abyss Star played a significant role in the teacher's being officially recognized."

However, at the same time, Jiang Ming also had some doubts.

"Isn't the teacher being a bit too generous?"

Jiang Ming asked Chi Yan.

Intelligent life forms are absolutely loyal once they recognize a master, so it's perfectly fine for Jiang Ming to directly ask Chi Yan about the Marquis of Yan Yuan.

"The old master was probably planning to go on an adventure in space, which is why he gifted you the Crimson Flame Continent."

A look of worry appeared on Chi Yan's face. Although she was absolutely loyal to Jiang Ming after acknowledging him as her master, she still had feelings for Marquis Yan Yuan.

Hearing Chi Yan's answer, Jiang Ming understood.

Space adventures are a gamble, and dealing with legacies beforehand is often a necessary step.

None of the other disciples and clansmen under Marquis Yan Yuan were able to bear her legacy. On the contrary, Jiang Ming, the weakest student, was the most likely to successfully take over her legacy.

As for the fact that Marquis Yanyuan was going on an adventure in space, Jiang Ming wasn't too surprised.

Even if one's life is infinitely immortal, if one is stuck at a bottleneck for billions of years without moving an inch, one's mindset will change.

The thrill of life-or-death adventures is the best way for the strong to break through their limits.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ming put the matter aside for the time being.

As an immortal being with infinite life, Marquis Yanyuan's concept of time is different from Jiang Ming's; what she perceives as "about to come" may be measured in tens of thousands of years.

Perhaps Jiang Ming will have grown up by then before Marquis Yan Yuan sets off.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming immediately got up and flew towards the base of the tower.

This tower was commissioned by Marquis Yanyuan to be built by an immortal expert skilled in forging. At the base of the tower, there is a cultivation room that can be used by Marquis Yanyuan.

Upon entering the cultivation room, Jiang immediately sensed that the fundamental laws of fire around him had become much clearer, and there was also a faint flow of spatial laws.

This cultivation chamber is located deep within the core of Flame Abyss Star, making it the best place on the planet for spiritual enlightenment.

The laws of time rippled and flowed around Jiang Ming, and the Wheel of Time condensed within his body.

As a symbol of innate talent, the Wheel of Time has no physical form; it can appear and condense anywhere.

It's just that Jiang Ming needed it to absorb external energy, so he chose to condense it outside.

Jiang Ming held the Fire God Crystal in his hand and drew upon its vast power through the Wheel of Time.

The Vulcan Crystal is formed from the immense divine power of immortal flames, and its power level is unbelievably high for Jiang Ming.

If he were to place his consciousness there, it would be instantly annihilated; there is no other possibility.

Only by absorbing it through the Wheel of Time can Jiang Ming indirectly come into contact with it.

As the energy of the Vulcan Crystal was injected, the Wheel of Time within Jiang Ming's body began to spin wildly.

The speed of time flow: ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, three thousand times, six thousand times, all the way up to ten thousand times!
As time passed ten thousand times faster, Jiang Ming began his longest period of seclusion.

When they emerge from seclusion, they will surely amaze the entire universe!
