Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Xiang Bei, our mission is over." Suo Tuo, dressed in black, said to Xiang Bei.

Xiang Bei and Suo Tuo have gotten along quite well over the past five days.

Although Xiang Bei had spent most of his energy cultivating the Five Elements Yuan Water Technique these past few days, with Suo Tuo and his group of universe-level experts by his side, how could he not make use of them?

As members of the Virtual Universe Company, Sotuo and his colleagues all possess unique methods.

For example, Suo Tuo himself is a master at the seventh level of the Domain Realm, and he is already comprehending the power of the laws.

With such experts around, Xiang Bei naturally wanted to learn from them.

Perhaps in order to build a good relationship with Xiang Bei, Suo Tuo and the others were very generous in giving Xiang Bei advice when he asked them for guidance.

As a result, Xiang Bei's cultivation speed has been quite fast these past few days.

The most obvious example is the secret manual "Five Elements Primordial Water Method". Originally, the "Five Elements Primordial Water Method" would explode due to energy disorder after only one or two strokes were drawn.

Now, however, we can barely sketch out half of the catalog.

Unfortunately, the time the group spent together was short-lived, and when the spaceship arrived at Iris Star, Suotuo and the others' mission came to an end.

"Thank you for your guidance these past few days, Senior Suotuo. I will keep it in mind," Xiang Bei said with a gentle smile.

"Haha, not at all. Then I wish you good health and success in your cultivation here!" Having received the answer he wanted, Suotuo smiled brightly and immediately offered his blessings.

"Thank you," Xiang Bei replied with a smile.

The two then formally parted ways, with the task requiring them to board a spaceship to return to another planet belonging to the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Virtual Universe Company to submit their mission.

Xiang Bei, guided by staff from Yuanguangxing, went to his residence on Yuanguangxing for the next period of time.

As a planetary-level martial artist, according to the requirements of the Virtual Universe Company, except for a vacation once every five years, they must usually cultivate on the Iris Star. Only when they reach the Eternal Star level will there be occasional cultivation missions that require them to leave the Iris Star to carry out.

However, he still spends most of his time cultivating on the planet Yuanguang.

The leap from planetary level to cosmic level is a huge one, and even elite members of virtual universe companies typically need hundreds of years to make it across.

Some members even spent thousands of years to become cosmic-level powerhouses.

Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiang Bei will spend the next few decades or even centuries on this star, Yuanguang.

That house will become the place where Xiang Bei will live most often during this period of his life.

Guided by the staff, Xiang Bei quickly arrived at his residence.

This is a luxurious villa that is several times larger than Xiang Bei's villa in the virtual universe.

It appears to be a brick and tile structure, but in fact it is made of a special alloy, which is not only extremely safe but also extremely sturdy, and can withstand the full force of an attack from a cosmic-level powerhouse.

With Xiang Bei fully utilizing his power to cultivate inside, there was naturally no problem.

Similarly, the facilities are fully equipped, with all kinds of equipment to assist in cultivation.

This is the most basic half-hour that Virtual Universe Company gives to its elite members.

After Xiang Bei's identity was verified and he entered the manor, the staff took their leave.

Xiang Bei was alone in the secluded courtyard.

To be honest, although the architectural style is different from that on Earth, Xiang Bei, who has seen many cosmic architectural styles in recent years, did not feel uncomfortable about it.

As for the interior decoration style, Xiang Bei has the right to completely change it, whatever Xiang Bei likes.

Xiang Bei, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and simply waved his hand to switch to a style he was more familiar with and liked.

After all, some familiar decorations in this foreign land would help Xiang Beihe adapt more easily.

Afterwards, Xiang Bei opened the cultivation plan that Virtual Universe Company had issued to its elite members.

To be honest, although Virtual Universe Company does have strict training requirements for them.

However, this is just a requirement; how to actually cultivate is up to these elite members themselves.

If these elite members are simply slacking off, Virtual Universe Company won't care.

As long as one can pass the cultivation test, anything is permissible, but at the planetary level, one cannot leave the Iris Star.

Moreover, the training assessment is quite difficult, and there is a risk of death if one is not careful.

If you don't work hard in your cultivation and die during the assessment, no one will care.

Moreover, each assessment has a ranking, and those who rank last for several consecutive times will be demoted by the Virtual Universe Company.

The treatment of Level 1 elites was reduced to that of Level 2 elites, and the treatment of Level 2 elites was further reduced to that of Level 3 elites.

If a Level 3 elite continues to rank at the bottom, they will be directly eliminated and removed from the elite member training sequence of the Virtual Universe Company.

It's an absolute last-place elimination system!

However, few of those selected by the Virtual Universe Company to become elite members are willing to slack off.

After all, even the lowest-ranking level three elites can obtain resources that are far beyond the imagination of outsiders.

For example, any Level 3 member could have the right to listen to the lessons of a cosmic-level powerhouse for free.

Every day, the planet Yuanguang arranges for cosmic-level experts to personally teach classes. And it's not just one; at least ten cosmic-level experts teach simultaneously every day. They can listen to whomever they want. In addition, some courses recorded by cosmic-level experts are also made available to them for free.

Furthermore, Level 3 elites also have the right to request a cosmic-level powerhouse to give them a one-month private lesson each year.

As for the second-level elites, the treatment is even better; they can even apply for a universe-level powerhouse to provide them with long-term cultivation guidance.

Additionally, one can apply for one-on-one guidance from a domain lord-level expert once every ten years.

As for the higher-level elites, they can even apply for the opportunity to be guided by a world lord-level powerhouse.

Of course, given the size of the Black Dragon Mountain branch, once someone reaches the level of a Realm Lord, there are no mandatory requirements. Requesting guidance from a Realm Lord depends on the Realm Lord's own schedule.

However, most realm lords are still willing to offer guidance.

Even so, this level of teaching staff is far beyond what other forces can match.

As for the even more powerful elites, to be honest, Xiang Bei wasn't very clear about their treatment. However, based on the comparison between first and second-level elites, given the terrifying rarity of elites, their treatment is likely to be even more terrifying.

The Black Dragon Mountain branch might actually pay a significant price to hire a World Lord-level expert to personally guide their cultivation.

It's even possible that there's a chance to have an immortal-level super powerhouse give this genius some guidance.

Of course, Xiang Bei can only dream about all of this for now. After all, the gap between Level 2 elites and Special-Grade elites is quite large. Right now, it's more realistic for him to focus on Level 1 elites.
