Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

The email was short, and Meng Jingrong read it quickly.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that in the early days of the Virtual Universe Company, the cultivation of geniuses did not involve the process of sending "Domain Lords" to serve as regional governors. Instead, they focused on various adventures and trials, just like the universe-level members.

"Perhaps, it wasn't until 'Emperor Yan' betrayed the human race that the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company realized that geniuses not only need formidable strength, but also a mature mind and a sense of responsibility. Only then did they begin to pay attention to the examination and cultivation of character." Meng Jingrong raised an eyebrow and speculated to himself.

"Lark, open the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company," Meng Jingrong said softly.

drop!

The screen instantly switched, revealing a detailed treasure trove page.

The page clearly lists eight categories: "Mystic Arts", "Weapons", "Rare Treasures", "Technological Weapons", "Materials", "Tools", "Biographies", and "Other Special Categories".

Each major category is further subdivided into countless subcategories. For example, the biological category includes "plant life," "metal life," and "beast taming," while the arcane category is divided into different schools based on attributes and levels. The variety of items is dazzling, totaling tens of millions of different items...

Meng Jingrong casually clicked on the "Rare and Precious Items" category and then the "Heavenly Treasures" option.

The dense text description and the 3D projection of the physical object instantly filled the light screen:

The Pure Spirit Soul-Nourishing Fruit contains pure soul energy, which can stabilize the soul's origin, greatly reduce the threshold for comprehending laws, and increase the speed of comprehending basic laws by about 5 times. It is worth 120000 points.

Star Enlightenment Jade Fragment is a pale blue jade piece resembling star fragments. When worn, it causes faint ripples of law to surround the wearer, significantly enhancing comprehension and aiding in the understanding of laws. It is worth 1000000 points.

The Lof Pipa Plate is a dark gray, long stone plate born in a secret realm. Its natural patterns resemble a mysterious bird. It is an immortal-grade flight aid treasure, valued at 1200000 points.

......

The Myriad Apertures Enlightenment Lotus is a peerless treasure nurtured in the core area of ​​the Qingyan Ancient Continent. After consumption, it can greatly stimulate the innate potential of the space and time lineage, and has a miraculous effect on the comprehension of the laws of space and time. It is worth 8 million points.

Note: For all the above items, members of the Primordial Realm enjoy a 30% discount, members of the Primordial Realm enjoy a 20% discount, members of the Heaven and Earth Realm enjoy a 10% discount, and members of the Doomsday Realm purchase at the original price.

……

"So expensive!" Meng Jingrong couldn't help but sigh softly.

Currently, he only has 10 points from the Cosmic Peak Battle. Even the cheapest Qingling Soul-Nourishing Fruit requires 2 points, making it impossible for him to exchange for it.

However, Meng Jingrong had no intention of purchasing these treasures at the moment.

For him, the primary task at present is to improve his strength and understanding of the laws, and he must use his points wisely.

As for improving the talent and comprehension of the younger sister and older brother, it's not too late to do so when they have more points later.

Meng Jingrong closed the "Heavenly Treasures" page and reopened the "Secret Techniques" category.

While he cannot currently obtain rare and precious materials, his mother has already granted him access to all secret techniques (below the Venerable level), which is his greatest treasure at present.

Seven Stars...Eternal...The Tower of the Void...

The first page of the Secret Techniques page displays only ordinary Immortal-level Secret Techniques. Meng Jingrong casually flipped through them and continued browsing.

The higher the level of the secret techniques, the more advanced they become.

"Golden Soul", "Thirty-Six Layers of Divine Evolution", "Black Hole Evolution", "Nine Chapters of Chi Dragon", "Time and Space Essays", "Crossing the Galaxy", "Purgatory Star Codex"... "Origin of Darkness", "Source of Life", "Eleven Forms of the Giant Axe"... "True Understanding of the Universe"!

Behind the page, almost all the content consists of peak and ultimate secret techniques at the Venerable level and above. With Meng Jingrong's current permissions, he can only view a small portion of the content below the Venerable level.

He could understand a small part of the peak secret techniques, but the 'ultimate secret techniques' were far more profound than he imagined, as obscure and difficult to understand as a heavenly book. With Meng Jingrong's current understanding of the laws, he simply could not comprehend them.

He didn't insist, and instead flipped back to the previous Immortal-level "Top Arcane" area.

Take it one step at a time; what suits you best is the best.

These secret methods can broaden one's horizons.

Meng Jingrong's eyes lit up as he selected suitable secret techniques.

Soon, he was immersed in this vast ocean of secret techniques...

......

While Meng Jingrong was immersed in cultivation.

The headquarters of Virtual Universe Corporation issued a new directive.

This order did not originate from a collective decision by the company's top management, but rather from the true ruler of the Virtual Universe Company, the Mother Ancestor.

In the current cosmic era, slave organizations are strictly prohibited by human laws.

Their dark dealings, such as human trafficking and forced slavery, have never dared to be exposed to the light of day, always remaining hidden in the shadows of the universe.

Originally, because these slave organizations were involved with a complex network of interests among powerful figures from various cosmic nations, interstellar conglomerates, and ancient families, many cosmic nations, even if aware of their existence, chose to turn a blind eye due to pressure from various parties and were unwilling to easily stir up this murky water.

But today, this fragile balance that has been maintained for countless years has been completely shattered!

Those long-hidden slave organizations faced the most insane and devastating blow in history.

Countless immortal beings mobilized to launch precise eradication operations against every known stronghold of the slave organization.

In an instant, countless heads rolled...

Almost at the same moment that the virtual universe company launched its purge operation, the major advanced universe nations under the human race also responded and simultaneously promulgated a new decree—the "Special Protection Regulations for Human Indigenous Planets".

The law clearly stipulates that any interstellar individual, force, or organization that discovers a new life-bearing planet that has not yet made contact with any cosmic civilization must immediately report it to the relevant department of its respective cosmic nation.

Relevant agencies will immediately dispatch a professional team to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the planet.

The discoverer will be given extremely generous rewards based on key indicators such as the actual size of the planet, the innate potential of the native races, and the number of existing powerful individuals.

This reward amount is extremely tempting;

The lowest tier offers 1 Cosmic Coins, while the highest tier offers a reward of up to 1000 million Cosmic Coins.

This wealth is enough to drive a cosmic-level powerhouse mad.

In addition, the law specifically emphasizes that all indigenous planets that have just come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations will automatically have a civilization protection period of up to 1000 years.

......

Three years later.

The primordial universe, the Mother City.

Led by the black-robed guide, 1997 people flew down from the sky and landed on the streets of Mother City.

The streets of Mother City are extremely wide, enough to accommodate dozens of people walking side by side.

"The time ratio between the initial universe and the primordial universe is 1:3.28," the black-robed messenger said with a smile. "Your time for this comprehension is a little over 30 years."

The envoy walked ahead, explaining as he went, "The Mother City was established more than five thousand years ago. Since the Mother City opened, even immortal beings have longed to come here to cultivate."

Morendis looked around and saw that the Mother City consisted of rows of small buildings, most of which had spacious rooftops.

On the rooftops of some small buildings, one could occasionally see people of various appearances sitting cross-legged in meditation. Some of them were carving something on the rooftop. The powerful aura emanating from them was far more terrifying than that of the world lord-level powerhouses he had ever seen.

"Um?"

As Morendis was engrossed in watching, his gaze inadvertently swept over the rooftop of a three-story building not far away, and his expression suddenly changed.

On the rooftop of that small building, a figure he knew all too well was sitting cross-legged.

"Lin Youfeng?" Morendis called out instinctively.

As his voice rang out, many geniuses looked up and spotted that familiar figure.

"Golden Axe" Lie Pan frowned slightly, looking at Lin Youfeng on the rooftop with some confusion.

The small building had a sound-blocking array, so the conversations on the street couldn't get in, and Lin Youfeng continued to cultivate in peace.

......

"The twenty-one Chaos Steles are the greatest treasures of humankind. They convey the path to the ultimate peak more clearly than any secret technique. Seven days of study will be enough for you." The black-robed envoy then walked towards the main gate of the city lord's mansion. "Come in, all of you, and prepare to choose which Chaos Stele to study."

The black-robed messenger led a group of geniuses and soon arrived at the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.
