Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

In addition to its extremely strong teaching staff, there are also many precious cultivation sites on the planet Yuanguang.

This brings us to the numerous independent secret realms that have been developed on the planet Iris Light.

There are more than thirty independent secret realms on the entire Iris Star, and they have all been developed and transformed by the Virtual Universe Company into various secret realms to assist in cultivation.

There are secret realms specifically designed to develop physical strength, those designed to assist martial artists in comprehending the power of their domains, and those that exist purely for the purpose of martial artists' trials.

In short, it has all kinds of things, and it is a treasure trove created to cultivate these elite members.

Of course, not all secret realms are open for free.

For example, Xiang Bei saw a secret realm called "Dark Ocean". Even with his status as a level two elite, he only had one chance to enter it each year, and each time he could spend half a month inside to meditate.

Top-tier elites have three opportunities each year to enter this precious realm of enlightenment.

To gain additional access to this precious land, they must complete the cultivation tasks assigned to them by the Virtual Universe Company.

For example, one could increase their domain power by one level, master a special secret technique, or complete a trial task in a certain trial realm.

Moreover, each of these special treasure troves has its own unique requirements.

In short, only by working hard and daring to strive can one enjoy better resources.

"As expected, survival of the fittest is an eternal law no matter where you go. The strong enjoy more resources while the weak are eliminated." Xiang Bei sighed softly, but his eyes gleamed.

The law of the universe is survival of the fittest, that's true, but with a heart of steel within him, he is the real strongman.

Give him some time, and he might be able to get the status of a top-tier elite.

. . .

The nights on Iris Star are still beautiful. Various colored halos can be seen from the sky in different parts of Iris Star, which looks magnificent.

As promised, Xiang Bei went to the welcome banquet that Sa Yan had prepared for him.

Xiang Bei originally thought that not many people would come, after all, almost all of Xiang Bei and his group were competitors on Yuan Guang Star.

After all, this is a bottom-ranking elimination system, and everyone is a competitor; no one wants to be the last one.

As a newcomer, he knew almost no one except for Sayanxulai, his former rival.

Logically speaking, not many people would attend his welcome banquet.

However, in reality, the number of people attending the welcome banquet far exceeded Xiang Bei's expectations.

There are only one or two hundred elite students at the planetary level on the entire Iris Star, but this time there are more than twenty of them.

In addition, Xiang Bei also saw the figures of several powerful beings at the Eternal Star level.

This greatly surprised Xiang Bei.

They also admired Sa Yanxu's ability to make friends.

He didn't know these people, and they certainly weren't there for him; they were only there to give Sa Yanxu face.

"Haha, Brother Xiang Bei, you've finally arrived. Come, come, you're the star of the day!" Sa Yanxu, beaming, came up to Xiang Bei and enthusiastically led him to the center of the crowd.

"Our protagonist for today has arrived! Let me introduce this brother, Xiang Bei. From now on, he is also a member of our Yuanguang Star!" Sa Yanxu said loudly.

He then handed the main seat to Xiang Bei.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of geniuses and elites, Xiang Bei was not intimidated at all. He introduced himself in a generous manner and then said a few polite words.

Although Xiang Bei doesn't usually attend these kinds of occasions, he is, after all, a person of extraordinary status on Earth and has inevitably experienced a few big events, so he is quite adept at handling such situations.

Subsequently, Xiang Bei got to know the elites from the outer field one by one, through the introduction of Sa Yanxu.

To be honest, Xiang Bei was still surprised by Sa Yanxu's ability to make friends. The elites from the virtual universe company here spanned three regions. Apart from the top-level elites who did not appear, there were more or less of the other level 1, 2, and 3 elites.

Perhaps sensing Xiang Bei's confusion, Sa Yanxu explained with a smile: "Brother Xiang Bei, don't be fooled by the fact that we're all competitors on Yuanguang Star."

But in fact, apart from the top and bottom ranked ones, everyone gets along quite well with each other.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, everyone had already been living and cultivating on the planet Yuanguang for hundreds of years.

Furthermore, some of the trial missions in the secret realms are difficult to complete alone, so it is necessary to have some close friends participate together and complete the missions in a team.

Therefore, many people on Iris Star have very good personal relationships with each other. Even after leaving Iris Star, they can still support each other.

After all, a friendship built over hundreds of years might be stronger than that between some relatives.

After Sa Yanxu's explanation, Xiang Bei nodded slightly.

Indeed, they had a bond of friendship as classmates in Xia Kingdom. Several years of being classmates in school was enough for them to trust each other and become lifelong friends.

Moreover, the friendship forged over decades or even centuries is unimaginable.

The competition is fierce only among the very top and the very bottom of the same level.

After all, the strongest group yearns to go further, while the last few do not want to be demoted or withdraw.

Therefore, their relationship is relatively strained.

"So, Brother Xiang Bei, are you interested in joining us? Putting aside other things, our Yan Guang Society may not be able to help you with some secret realm trial missions of difficulty B-level or below!" Sa Yan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiangbei, our Yan Guang Society doesn't have any special requirements or mandatory tasks. We are all equals."

The main purpose of its establishment is to help each other complete the trial mission.

If you wish to accept a trial mission, you can send the mission information to the Flamelight Guild, and members willing to team up with you will contact you.

Of course, if you want to team up with others for the trial, you can check the information within the Flamelight Guild and apply to team up for the trial. If others are willing, they will approve your request.

"Of course, if you've applied to team up with others for the trial, it's best not to back out. Although the guild won't force you to do anything, it will affect your reputation, and in the future, no one may be willing to invite you to team up for trials," Sa Yan said eloquently.

However, he interpreted Xiang Bei's words as those of one of his own.

Compared to Xiang Bei, he had no objections. If, as Sa Yanxu said, the so-called Yan Guang Society members were completely free and without any mandatory requirements, then there was nothing wrong with him joining.

Since he was new to the area, joining a relatively free small group was a good idea.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek help.

As a practitioner, it is not all good if one only knows how to practice.
