Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

A seemingly endless asteroid belt, with a spaceship over a hundred meters long floating among the asteroids.

A two-meter-tall man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in black armor, woke up on a meteorite aboard the spaceship.

"Master, you're finally awake."

A virtual kitten was circling around the man, and when it saw that the man had woken up, it stopped in front of him and greeted him.

What's wrong with me?

"who I am?"

"I'm Zhou Yuan? No, I'm Lu Yuan?"

"Who am I?"

······

The man's memories, after constant conflict, finally came together.

"I am Zhou Yuan, and also Lu Yuan. I actually time-traveled, and I wasn't hit by a car."

After sorting through his memories, Zhou Yuan finally understood his situation. More than a thousand years ago, he, originally named Lu Yuan, traveled to the world of Swallowing the Stars, and even traveled outside the Origin World.

Lu Yuan's consciousness combined with the Hunyuan energy and the Dao of the Hunyuan world to form a Hunyuan Dao Seed, which broke through the source world and entered the universe to be reborn as the current Zhou Yuan. However, before the reincarnation, he was just an ordinary person with his consciousness, and his memories of his previous life were directly sealed by the supreme rules.

In his reincarnation, thanks to his considerable talent for cultivation, he spent over 1200 years rising from an ordinary, nameless boy to the level of a second-tier cosmic warrior. Unfortunately, his parents lacked talent and, having given birth to him at several hundred years old, had already died before their lifespans were exhausted. Only his uncles and his third uncle's descendants remained in his family.

With nothing to worry about, Zhou Yuan began his adventures in the universe. Just three months ago, he learned by chance that a small secret realm, the Cloud Rock Secret Realm, had been created. Although the main explorers of the secret realm were realm lords and immortal-level powerhouses, there were also some outer areas suitable for universe-level and domain lord-level adventurers.

With a "let's try our luck" attitude, he piloted the "Azure Eagle" here, and unexpectedly found a Heart of Earth wrapped in mysterious stone in the Stardust Belt at the edge of the secret realm.

The mysterious stone had an extremely strong shielding ability; even his detection instruments failed to detect anything unusual. If the "Azure Eagle" hadn't accidentally collided with the meteorite while dodging it, causing the Heart of Earth to emit a faint trace of its original aura, he probably would have missed this incredible opportunity.

Back on the spaceship, he couldn't wait to take out the Heart of Earth to examine it. Little did he know that the pure earth elemental energy contained within the Heart of Earth would activate the long-dormant Chaos Dao Seed within him.

The moment the Hunyuan Dao Seed awakened, it not only broke the seal of the supreme rules of the Origin World, allowing him to awaken his memories as Lu Yuan in his previous life, but also directly poured a set of deduced secret techniques into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The sheer volume of information overwhelmed his soul like a tsunami, causing him to fall into a coma that lasted for three whole months.

This secret technique, derived from the last trace of Hunyuan energy by the Hunyuan Dao Seed, consists of nine levels. Each level can double his genetic level, increase his body size by a thousand times, and increase his strength by ten times. Upon mastering the first level, he can also awaken an exclusive secret technique.

The only regret is that, due to the restrictions of the supreme rules of the source world, this secret technique can only be practiced by him and cannot be passed on to anyone else.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, trying to dispel the throbbing in his mind. Even though he was awake, the vast amount of information about the secret technique still made him a little dizzy. He stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and made a series of crisp bone cracking sounds. The muscles under his black armor tensed and relaxed instantly, filled with explosive power.

Looking around, Zhou Yuan realized that he was currently in the Shattered Star Belt on the edge of the secret realm. Resources were scarce, making it a perfect place for cosmic-level and domain lord-level adventures.

The star rift belt spans hundreds of light-years, encircling the entire secret realm. Although the secret realm itself is small, it is still tens of thousands of light-years in size, making the entire star rift belt incredibly vast.

As for the higher-level realm lords and immortals, they all adventure on dozens of vast continents in the center, since the resources are richer the further you go into the center of the secret realm.

"Beibei, how long have I been unconscious?" Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the virtual kitten in front of him, his voice returning to its usual calm. Beibei jumped onto his shoulder in the air, its golden eyes filled with heartache: "Master, you've been unconscious for a full three months."

"Thank you for your hard work, Beibei." Zhou Yuan rubbed the kitten's head, his tone carrying a hint of gentleness. "Control the spaceship and move towards the outer edge of the asteroid belt. After entering the dark universe, stop at the edge of the asteroid belt."

"Yes, Master!" Beibei replied excitedly.

Beibei is Zhou Yuan's intelligent assistant. It possesses advanced intelligence and has developed emotions, but it cannot yet be considered an intelligent life form.

The spaceship began to accelerate. It was a C1-class spaceship, one of Zhou Yuan's most important assets.

Zhou Yuan walked straight to the main control seat and sat down, looking at the three-dimensional projection of the cosmic star map in front of him, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. He needed an absolutely safe environment to digest the awakened memories and the contents of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and the edge of the Shattered Star Belt was a place that World Lords and Immortal-level powerhouses disdained to visit, and that Universe-level and Domain Lord-level adventurers rarely ventured into, making it the perfect choice.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the spaceship accelerated towards the dark universe, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness. At the very center of his sea of ​​consciousness, a hazy gray seed floated, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, as if containing the ultimate secrets of the entire universe, which was his reliance—the Primordial Dao Seed.

As his consciousness deepened, the three major functions of the Hunyuan Dao Seed clearly emerged in his mind:

First, it can deduce secret techniques. The Hunyuan Dao Seed, having merged with the Hunyuan Dao, can deduce secret techniques of any level as long as it has sufficient primordial energy, even the top-tier secret techniques of the ultimate God King realm. The newly awakened Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was deduced by it using its last trace of Hunyuan energy.

Second, soul protection. As long as the Chaos Origin Dao Seed remains intact, no one in the entire Origin World can kill or enslave him through soul attacks, which is equivalent to giving him a trump card to save his life.

Third, the amplification of origin. It can amplify Zhou Yuan's perception of the laws of origin, especially after contacting the Heart of Origin, it can also directly communicate with the corresponding origin, with an effect equivalent to a hundred times that of a World Lord-level powerhouse. However, at present he has only contacted the Heart of Earth, so only the perception of the Earth origin has reached this level, while the perception of other laws of origin is still at the level of a hundred times the perception clarity.

Then he began to examine the secret techniques transmitted from the Hunyuan Dao Seed, since these were the best secret techniques he could currently access, probably among the best in the entire primordial universe. He wouldn't dare claim it as the best, but that's partly due to the presence of the old fox, Zuoshanke; in another dimension of the primordial universe, it would likely be the best.

The secret technique is divided into nine levels, with a very low entry barrier. One only needs to learn the secret inscriptions and then connect them to consume energy to cultivate. However, the energy consumed is terrifying, reaching tens of thousands of times one's own energy. The higher the realm, the more energy is required. If an immortal were to cultivate, the energy consumed would be enough for their divine body to recover tens of thousands of times.

Although the cultivation method is simple, its effects are very powerful, mainly possessing four functions:

First, each layer of gene level increases by a factor of 1, up to a maximum of 10081 times, and only takes effect when cultivation is fully completed.

Secondly, the height increases tenfold with each level, which means the body size increases a thousandfold, with the upper limit of the increase being restricted by the highest rules.

Third, each level will improve your comprehension.

Fourth, successfully cultivating the first level will grant you master a myriad of secret techniques, essentially a natural secret technique, and there are no barriers to its use.

Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a burning light flashing in them. With the Heaven-defying treasure, the Chaotic Origin Dao Seed, and the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, his future was destined to be extraordinary. It wouldn't be impossible for him to beat up the scoundrel city lord or kick the Luo city lord.
