Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 391 An Unexpected Surprise?

After hearing the story of the "Lord of the Amber Prison," Suk realized that this person also knew very little about the secrets of the origin of the "Six Nirvanas."

The Six Nirvanas is indeed incomplete. It was obtained by the Lord of Amber Prison during an adventure in the depths of a certain desolate place in the Sea of ​​Yu Shen. He also seems to have made other discoveries, but he did not tell Sukdo about them.

According to the Lord of the Amber Prison, he once tried to replicate the later parts of the Six Nirvanas in the primordial universe, but found that he could not do it.

Part of the Six Nirvanas can appear in the primordial universe, but the latter cannot be transmitted out of the primordial universe in any way.

It seems that it violated the rules of the universe and was met with some kind of resistance!

After the Lord of the Amber Prison failed repeatedly, he had no choice but to inscribe the previously obtained "Six Nirvanas" cultivation method on the stone gate and create some special races to cultivate it.

"The part beyond the Six Nirvanas is hidden in the deepest part of the Cosmic Sea, and cannot be brought out. Even for a Cosmic Lord like myself, going there would be fraught with danger, and one careless move could lead to my demise," the Lord of the Amber Prison lamented.

If Suk wants to continue cultivating, he must go to that forbidden land in person, because cultivation is impossible in the primordial universe.

According to the Lord of the Amber Prison, to go there, one must possess the top level of a universe lord, or a supreme treasure of the top palace type, as well as the will of the strongest being in the universe. All three conditions are indispensable, otherwise it is easy to perish!

The Lord of the Amber Prison said to Suk with hope, "If you want to go there with me someday, then grow stronger as soon as possible. You have obtained the opportunity of the Six Nirvanas, and you have a better chance than anyone else to become a super being. I will also do my best to nurture you. When you have enough strength, the two of us, master and disciple, can go on adventures together."

It's clear that the Lord of the Amber Prison really wants Suk to grow up quickly.

Suk had already vaguely guessed that there must be something in that place that was particularly important to the Lord of Amber Prison, and that he needed to help him.

That's why the Lord of the Amber Prison values ​​himself so much.

However, as long as the Lord of the Amber Prison has no ill intentions towards him, Suk is willing to help, because their goals are the same, and Suk also very much wants to obtain the sequel to "Six Nirvanas".

Afterwards, the Lord of the Amber Prison led Suk to that inconspicuous wooden house, where the Lord of the Amber Prison kept his treasures for many years.

Upon entering the cabin, one first experiences a dramatic shift in space, then finds oneself atop a towering mountain peak.

"That's not right." Suk looked down and saw that the mountain, which was tens of thousands of kilometers high, was clearly a sword-shaped supreme weapon with an astonishing aura.

"This is—" Suk looked up and saw the stars in the sky, the mountains and rivers, forests and lakes, icebergs and fire pools on the vast land. He could feel the powerful aura of a supreme treasure in many places.

"Haha, you can feel it now." A muscular, bald man in a black robe appeared beside Suk, pointed to the scenery ahead, and smiled, "This is where I usually store my treasures. Many of the treasures I don't need, those I crafted myself, or those I obtained from the outside world, are kept here, though most are ordinary treasures. And various precious materials as well."

He then became quite smug. "The wooden house you came into earlier was actually a palace treasure, but only a high-grade palace treasure."

"Just a treasure from a high-ranking palace?" Suk was speechless.

The signature treasure of the Demon Clan's Universe Lord, the "Lord of the Heavenly Wolf," is the "Heavenly Wolf Palace," a high-level palace treasure. Treasures like the Heavenly Wolf Palace are enough to make even the Universe Lords envious.

The Lord of the Amber Prison sighed, "Flying palace-type treasures are inherently the most robust among treasures of their level, best at resisting physical attacks! An ordinary flying palace-type treasure is comparable in sturdiness to a high-grade treasure armor. A high-grade flying palace-type treasure is comparable to a top-grade treasure armor!"

"This wooden hut of mine was also painstakingly built, and I put in a lot of effort to successfully forge it," the Lord of the Amber Prison shook his head. "However, it still can't compare to the other Craftsman God Lord who forged a supreme treasure. That guy actually created a Craftsman God Star, which is an absurdly large planet. A super-large planet with a diameter of 3.2 trillion kilometers. It is itself a top-tier supreme treasure of the flying palace type! The Craftsman God Lord used endless materials to forge a planet into a top-tier supreme treasure of the flying palace type, which surpasses mine."

"However, I later obtained a top-tier flying palace-type treasure during my adventures, so this wooden house is naturally useless to me. I don't want to give it to anyone else, so I've left it here." The Lord of the Amber Prison led Suk around this world, pointing and gesturing.

"Weapon crafting is actually a path of cultivation. You can also comprehend the laws and become a powerful being through it. Moreover, since you are skilled at crafting treasures, many people will come to you to ask you to craft treasures, making it easier to acquire resources," the Lord of Amber Prison laughed, pointing to the supreme treasures scattered around the world. "With so many supreme treasures here, which other universe lord can compare to me? Even your Chaos City Lord might not have as many personal treasures as I do."

He changed his tone, "Of course, besides quantity, the quality of a supreme treasure is also important. One top-tier supreme treasure naturally surpasses ten high-grade supreme treasures of the same type!"

Suk, who was watching from the side, was already dazzled and couldn't help but nod.

It's clear that this teacher is indeed very wealthy.

Master craftsmen who can forge top-tier treasures are indeed highly sought after in the universe.

Of course, one must also have sufficient self-defense capabilities, otherwise they would have been captured and imprisoned by other forces long ago and threatened to refine them into supreme treasures.

"Weapon crafting requires talent! If you're not good at it, there's no need to spend more time on it. Just focus on your cultivation," said the Lord of Amber Prison.

Following the Lord of the Amber Prison, Suk witnessed one treasure after another, marveling at their magnificence while also feeling a pang of envy. He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, why did you bring me here—"

The Lord of the Amber Prison turned to look at him and smiled, "Since you have become my disciple, I will naturally give you a gift. There are many treasures here, and you can choose any two that you like to take away."

Suk's heart pounded. "Two? I can choose either?"

"Of course," the Lord of the Amber Prison smiled. "However, it can only be an ordinary supreme treasure."

"Thank you so much, teacher!" Suk's gratitude was now genuine.

Even the Lord of the Universe would not bestow precious treasures upon his disciples at will. Many cosmic venerables among the human race do not possess a single treasure, and the Chaos City Lord's former genius disciple, "Kodi," was also not granted a treasure.

Suk, however, was suddenly bestowed with two priceless treasures.

Just as Suk was about to make his selection, he suddenly remembered something and respectfully asked the Lord of the Amber Prison, "Teacher, I have something I'd like to ask you."

"What is it?" The Lord of the Amber Prison looked at him.

Suk respectfully asked, "This disciple wishes to ask if there is a way to break through to a higher level for this 'Death Star Vine'?"

"Death Star Vine?" The Lord of Amber Prison's gaze fell on Suk, and he suddenly laughed. "So your Death Star Vine has already evolved to the Immortal level. No wonder you want to continue evolving it."

Suk smiled ingratiatingly: "So, teacher, do you have any solutions?"

The Lord of the Amber Prison reached out and touched his chin. "Of course there are methods. Although there are few ways to make someone a Universal Venerable, and all of them have a failure rate, it is still possible as long as you are willing to pay the price."

Su Ke's spirits lifted, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then, teacher, what exactly should we do?"

The Lord of the Amber Prison looked at Suk with his long, narrow golden eyes and smiled slightly. "You want to evolve the Death Star Vine into a Cosmic Venerable? Let me tell you honestly, the price is very high! As a top-tier plant life form, the cost of evolving the Death Star Vine into an immortal being is already considerable, but to make it break through to the Cosmic Venerable level, the cost is even more terrifying! The cost of making it break through is comparable to ten supreme treasures—even the Lord of the Cosmos is unwilling to bear it, because the probability of the Death Star Vine breaking through is only one-third. So, do you still want to continue taking the risk?"

Suk was conflicted upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected that the price for the Death Star Vine to break through to the Universe Venerable realm would be so high.

However, it's not too surprising, since becoming a Universe Venerable is extremely difficult, and it's normal that the Death Star Vine has a high cost for breaking through.

The one-third success rate is the most unacceptable thing.

This is because it means that even if a huge price is paid, the Death Star Vine will most likely fail, which is equivalent to throwing away a precious item.

Therefore, even the Lord of the Universe would not be willing to do such a thing.

The Lord of the Amber Prison looked at his newly accepted disciple with great interest, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "Are you eager to break through the Death Star Vine, but finding it difficult?"

Suk nodded with a wry smile.

The Lord of the Amber Prison chuckled and said, "I can somewhat understand how you feel. It is indeed frustrating and disheartening to possess a powerful auxiliary plant life force but be unable to further enhance it. If you are truly determined to help your plant life force break through, I can give you another chance."

The tall, muscular, bald man casually pointed into the distance. "See? I have many treasures here. They're all ordinary treasures, but their value varies. You can choose any you like. Of course, I won't give you any hints. If you choose two ordinary treasures, and the combined value of those two treasures is enough to cover half the cost of breaking through the Death Star Vine, then I can help you break through. How about it?"

"Of course, this means you can no longer choose other treasures." The Lord of the Amber Prison looked at Suk. "How about it?"

""

Suk fell into thought.

Should he allow the Death Star Vine to break through to the Universe Venerable realm, or should he obtain two powerful treasures for himself?

Both treasures and plant life can be considered external forces, but the Death Star Vine breaking through to the Universe Venerable level is undoubtedly more helpful to him at present.

However, the Death Star Vine breakthrough has a success rate, and only one-third of the time is successful!

If I fail, I will undoubtedly suffer a great loss.

However, if we miss this opportunity, we won't be able to get the teacher's help to help the Death Star Vine break through in the future, and we'll have to pay a much higher price ourselves.

His mind raced, and Su Ke quickly made his choice, saying firmly, "Teacher, I choose to let the Death Star Vine break through!"

The Lord of the Amber Prison seemed unsurprised by this, and casually said, "Alright, then go and choose two treasures and bring them back for me to see. I'll wait for you here." After saying that, the Lord of the Amber Prison flew to an ancient tree, sat on a thick branch, leaned against the trunk, and closed his eyes.

Suk glanced at the teacher in the tree, then turned and flew off in one direction.

The Lord of the Amber Prison, who had been sitting with his eyes closed in the tree, opened them, glanced at his disciple, and chuckled softly, "Let's see how your luck goes—"

"Two supreme treasures, and they can only be ordinary supreme treasures." Suk flew in the sky, deep in thought. "If I choose the wrong one, I doubt my teacher will give me a second chance."

Suk took a deep breath. If he couldn't even pick the right treasure, there was no point in talking about the rest.

First, you need to select two "common treasures," and these treasures must be of very high value, totaling more than half the cost of breaking through the Death Star Vine.

This requires both keen eyesight and a bit of luck.

Normally, even a supreme being of the universe might not be able to pick out two perfectly suitable treasures here.

Not to mention Su Ke, a mere world lord who has only lived for a few thousand years and has little experience.

"I doubt even Master Amber Prisoner thinks I can succeed."

"Hmph, teacher, you underestimate me too much."

A glint flashed in Suk's eyes as he looked down at the scenery below, and his [Eye of Insight] quietly activated.

With the Eye of Insight, one can see information about everything, it's just a matter of how much.

The more advanced something is, the less information you usually see. But for ordinary treasures, it's a challenge that poses absolutely no pressure to Suk.

With a whoosh, a streak of light descended from the sky, landing on a mirror-like lake. A faint chill emanated from the lake, and serpentine creatures swam within its surface. Suk looked down at the lake, a strange expression on his face. "Hmm, this lake is actually a domain-type treasure?"

These are top-tier treasures in their respective domains, and are extremely valuable.

To be precise, the three types of treasures—soul, palace, and domain—are almost the most valuable among those of the same level.

"A common-level treasure is at least ten or even dozens of times more expensive than the most common treasure!" Suk smiled.

Of course, if one cannot recognize it, one might mistake this domain-type treasure for a "high-grade treasure" and be unable to make a judgment.

It's even possible that they might consider some precious materials as priceless treasures.

However, those with discerning eyes can immediately tell what type of treasure it is, whether it is an ordinary treasure or a high-level treasure, and there would never be such an inability to judge.

"Make a note of this lake." Suk soared into the sky again to search other places.

Soon after, it appeared on a star with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers high in the sky.

The star was incredibly beautiful, its entire body resembling purple glass, crystal clear, and radiating a hazy glow, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

"So beautiful!" Suk exclaimed, taking a closer look. "Hmm? The Purple Glazed Palace, is it a common flying palace treasure? Its value seems to be about the same as that lake-domain treasure from before. I'll make a note of this one too."

Suk wandered around this world of treasures, slowly searching.

Anyway, the Lord of the Amber Prison hasn't urged him yet.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Suk noticed something in his eyes and immediately flew over.

"That is—"

Suk looked at the enormous treasure floating in the air, a look of extreme surprise and shock in his eyes.

They were a pair of radiant, hundred-meter-high, enormous, snow-white wings that looked exquisite.

[Chaotic Light Wings, First Pair, Incomplete]
