Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Time flies.

Having been away from Earth for more than a month, Xiang Bei finally saw this blue planet again, and his heart was filled with emotion.

The knowledge he gained in the past month or so was more extensive than the combined knowledge he gained in his two lifetimes.

After all, this is about leaving Earth and going to an alien world.

I've seen all sorts of aliens, witnessed thousands of alien spaceship fleets, and seen a virtual universe where I can learn about the vast universe.

They even bought some powerful Black Boar slaves.

Of course, Xiang Bei also witnessed the cruelty of this universe; if you weren't strong enough, you could only be sold off and enslaved.

Not to mention their own fate, even the fate of their family members and their clan is in the hands of others.

For generations, men and women have been slaves, never able to rise up.

This is the cold cruelty of the universe.

Xiang Bei could only adapt to this cold and cruel universe and grow stronger in such a harsh environment.

Only by being strong enough can one protect their family and control their own destiny.

Therefore, during his journey back home, Xiang Bei did not relax his cultivation.

Especially after being able to continue using the Heart Steel's Colossal Devour, not a single moment was wasted.

This resulted in all the purchased planetary level six or seven Black Boar warriors being injured, while the few planetary level one warriors remained unharmed due to their low strength.

However, the Black Boar Clan's physical strength was indeed formidable. Coupled with their Planetary Level 6 or 7 strength, they withstood Xiang Bei's massive devouring attack without sustaining serious injuries.

After a good meal and a couple of days of rest, they can be lively and energetic again.

However, his individual combat strength was low, his moves were rudimentary, he didn't know how to exert force and had no secret techniques. Even with his strength at the sixth or seventh level of the planetary realm, he couldn't even get close to Xiang Bei.

However, Xiang Bei didn't care. In his opinion, these black boars were just a bunch of experience points, and he didn't need them for anything else.

"Hei Yi, you all stay on the spaceship and do not leave without my orders, understand?" Xiang Bei said to the only star-level expert among them.

Hei Yi was a name given to them by Xiang Bei.

As mentioned before, Xiang Bei had no interest in sympathizing with these slaves, nor did he have time to waste remembering their names. Therefore, he simply named them by their race and characteristics.

The most powerful of them is naturally Black One, followed by Black Two, Black Three, and so on.

Xiang Bei landed the spaceship in the depths of the sea near the Kyoto base city.

With the spaceship's defensive capabilities and Hei Yi's strength, Xiang Bei believed that no monster was capable of harming his spaceship.

"Mom, I'm home!"

After a month apart, the Xiang family remained unchanged, while Xiang Bei returned home directly to reunite with his parents and younger sister.

The rest of the Xiang family also returned to the Xiang family villa.

It wasn't until everyone had gathered at night that Xiang Bei went to the study alone with the old man.

"Grandpa! I got some good stuff on this trip," Xiang Bei said with a grin.

"I knew you couldn't stay still. You said you were going into seclusion, but you just disappeared!" The old man chuckled and scolded, but his heart was full of love and pride for Xiang Bei.

Deep down, what the old man is most proud of is probably having such a grandson.

Of course, the old man was also curious about what it was that would make his good grandson pull him aside for a private talk.

You should know that Xiang Bei had already left a lot of good things for the family before, and many of them are still unused.

For example, those few drops of dragon blood were all kept by the old man since there are no high-level warriors in the family now.

Waiting for someone to become a high-level warrior before using it to achieve the status of a war god-level martial artist.

"Old man, what I brought back this time is truly something good."

As he spoke, Xiang Bei took out the briefcase containing 20 Purple Sound Fruits and handed it to Xiang Shan.

"Grandpa, this thing is called the Purple Sound Fruit. Eating just one will give you a very high chance of turning a high-level War God into a planetary-level martial artist, which is what we often call a councilor-level martial artist."

Even if it doesn't work the first time, you'll definitely succeed the second time. There are 20 in total; please take one and eat it in a bit.

Xiang Bei explained the uses of the purple fruit, which was only the size of a thumb, to Xiang Shan.

"What!!!"

Xiang Shan's eyes widened, and he almost threw the silver briefcase in his hand. But after realizing what he had done, he quickly closed the briefcase and carefully placed it on the desk.

Xiang Bei had already brought back amazing things before, but what he brought back this time was even more incredible.

This is a treasure that can elevate a War God Warrior to the level of a councilor.

"You brat, don't scare me! Where did you get these treasures from, and 20 of them at once!" Xiang Shan felt his speech was becoming slurred.

But Xiang Bei didn't care at all.

"Grandpa, this is nothing. There's still a lot of good stuff to come."

As he spoke, Xiang Bei took out the training method of "18 Basic Martial Arts Techniques", but this thing only had text and illustrations and no video explanation.

The main reason is that he terminated his contract with the Ganwu Temple, so he cannot copy or reproduce the manual without permission.

He can write text catalogs himself, but he can't do videos or anything like that.

Despite this, the old man only felt that his values ​​had been shaken.

It should be noted that even the most powerful martial art on Earth, Thor's "Nine-fold Thunder Blade," only has a power amplitude of 7 times.

The so-called "18 Basic Martial Arts Techniques" has an amplitude of 18 times.

To be honest, if the person standing in front of him wasn't his most outstanding grandson, Xiang Shan would definitely think the other person was crazy.

Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Xiang Bei thought to himself, "This is nothing."

If the old man knew that he possessed a spaceship capable of traveling to other planets, and that he himself had spent twenty days on an alien planet, while the powerful figures he considered to be councilors were merely ordinary civilians on that planet, even being sold into slavery, his worldview would likely be shattered.

However, now is not the time to tell the old man about Xiang Shan.

Firstly, the old man was only a level nine apprentice, so talking to him wouldn't be of much use, since he couldn't even go to outer space.

Without planetary-level strength, you'd have nowhere to seek justice if you were killed on an alien planet.

In addition, he also needs to discuss this with Thor and the others when he returns.

It's definitely not feasible to let Earth directly contact the extraterrestrial human race.

However, it is possible to make contact with the alien race through a virtual universe.

However, the selection of personnel must be carefully controlled. And absolutely no information about Earth can be leaked.

The specific implementation details will need to be discussed carefully with Hong, Lei Shen, and Jia Yi in a while.
