Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

The Purple Star has been reduced to scorched ruins, and the air is filled with a strong stench of blood.

"Teacher, Lord Feng Yu..."

Lin Youfeng, covered in blood, knelt on the ground in a sorry state, tightly embracing a blood-stained section of a woman's mutilated body.

His face was streaked with blood and tears. "This disciple is incompetent... I failed to protect my martial uncle!"

"Qinglan?" Meng Jingrong frowned slightly, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in his eyes.

"This illusion, it thinks it can shake me?" A hint of anger appeared on Meng Jingrong's face. A wisp of 'chaotic power' surged within his body, and his consciousness condensed into a spear, which he thrust fiercely towards the sky.

Rumble—!

Amidst a deafening roar, the illusory sky was torn open with a massive, grotesque rift, and then the entire illusory world collapsed like shattered glass.

The surrounding scenery returned to normal, still the blood-red beach of the nineteenth island, while in the distant black sea, a new white dot of light appeared—that was the twentieth island.

"The twentieth one!" Without pausing, Meng Jingrong transformed into a streak of light once more and flew toward the newly appeared island.

Deep within the Illusionary Sea, on the 21st island, the old man in black scales displayed obvious shock. "Such a powerful consciousness, such a terrifying will! Even stronger than Princess Xiyue!"

"This news must be reported to the higher-ups immediately," the old man in black scales said solemnly.

The Virtual Universe Company set up the "Bridge to Heaven," the "Illusory Sea," and the "Immortal Altar" to select and test the most outstanding among the geniuses!

The spiritual will that Meng Jingrong displayed has clearly reached an astonishing level!

Of the three tests, the Immortal Altar is the least valued.

Because almost every peak Realm Lord can achieve perfect control over their body, and the Bridge to Heaven and the Illusionary Sea are places that even many Immortals and even Universe Lords would venture into.

The old man in black scales dared not delay and wrote an email with utmost care.

The email detailed Meng Jingrong's journey across the nineteenth island.

"call!"

After pressing the send button, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"rustle."

Just then, a faint sound of sand rubbing came from behind him, and the old man in black scales turned around to look.

"Hello there."

Meng Jingrong appeared not far from the old man, a gentle smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him.

......

The twenty-first island in the Illusionary Sea is the ultimate test ground for the entire Illusionary Sea.

The spiritual pressure here has reached the Venerable level.

Although Meng Jingrong's soul and will had reached the King level and he was also empowered by the power of chaos, he still failed to break through under the absolute level suppression.

......

When Meng Jingrong's consciousness returned to the virtual universe living room, his points in his personal space surged again—reaching a total of 367181500 points.

In addition, Virtual Universe Company offers extra special rewards:

1. Upon becoming a Realm Lord, you will be directly rewarded with 1 million points by passing through the 'Cosmic Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain.

2. Upon becoming a Realm Lord, you will be directly rewarded with 30 billion points by passing through the 'Domain Lord Level' Primal Tongtian Mountain.

3. Passing through the 'Lord-level' Primal Tongtian Mountain will directly reward you with 1000 billion points.

Meng Jingrong has now successfully conquered the cosmic-level and domain-lord-level Tongtian Mountain and possesses 31 billion special points, but these points require realm-lord-level authority to unlock.

In the training system of the Virtual Universe Company, secret techniques have always been the biggest expense in terms of points.

Countless geniuses have devoted everything to a secret technique, but Meng Jingrong, having taken his maternal grandmother as his master, naturally had no need to consider secret techniques.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, a holographic projection appeared in the center of the room.

Inside the light screen, countless rare and precious treasures were displayed one by one.

Meng Jingrong slowly scanned the screen, combined with his own needs, and began to carefully select resources, quickly determining the resource usage plan.

Thanks to the generous gifts from the "Lord of the Flame Dragon Kingdom," he no longer needs to spend points on spaceships and main combat weapons.

At the current stage, the most direct way to improve his survival and combat capabilities is undoubtedly to allow the auxiliary plant life form "Moyun Vine" to undergo a breakthrough evolution.

Meng Jingrong lightly tapped the light screen with his fingertip, and the Domain Lord-level Ninth Order Moyun Vine evolved, with detailed information on three different options.

Meng Jingrong knew that the evolution of the Moyun Vine was directly related to the number of main vines.

The difference in strength resulting from different paths is enormous.

According to the records of Virtual Universe Company, the number of main vines of the World Lord-level Cloud Vine has a clear range;

The worst cultivation method can only produce 36 main vines, while the perfect cultivation method can produce 360. The difference in their protective and entanglement capabilities is like night and day.

"My Cloud-Piercing Vine is now at the ninth level of Domain Lord, with 108 main vines..."

Meng Jingrong muttered to himself, his gaze precisely locking onto the optimal evolution plan.

"According to the description here, my Cloud Vine should be able to evolve into 216 main vines using the best Mega Evolution."

There are multiple options for evolving to the ninth level of the Realm Lord.

The 108 main vines, the Cloud Vine, took 3 years to complete and required 12 points.

The 216 main vines, the Cloud Vine, took 3 years to complete and required 40 points.

(Members of the Primal Realm enjoy a 30% discount)

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Jingrong directly finalized the evolution resources for the 216 main vines.

After deducting the discount, the redemption was completed for only 28 points.

However, when Meng Jingrong looked down at the cost required for Mo Yun Teng to break through to the Immortal level, he couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

The optimal solution for the '216 Main Vine Cloud Vine' is to achieve a 50% chance of becoming an immortal deity, which requires an investment of 15.3 billion points.

Looking at this shocking number, he shook his head helplessly.

Even though it's just a ninth-tier World Lord Cloud Vine with 216 vines, its powerful protective and entangling abilities are enough to restrain most immortal beings.

For him, that was more than enough.

Considering that the core advantages of the Moyun Vine lie in its defense and entanglement, while its offensive capabilities are somewhat weak compared to other plant life forms of the same level, Meng Jingrong decided to cultivate another plant life form that focuses on offense, thus forming a complementary offense and defense.

With a swipe of the fingertip, the light screen switches to the auxiliary plant larva page, and all sorts of strange plant life instantly flood into view.

Star-Eating Grass, Meteorite Vine, Whelk Flower, Soul-Eating Flower, Void Vine, God-Eating Grass...

After repeated comparisons, Meng Jingrong finally focused his attention on the "Void Vine".

This is an extremely rare auxiliary plant life form, with the juvenile stage alone priced at 60 points, several times more expensive than the Star-Eating Grass.

Similarly, the Void Vine that grows up is extremely terrifying.

It also takes 3 years to cultivate to the ninth level of the Realm Lord.

The 120 ​​Void Vine requires 60 million points.

The 360 ​​Void Vine requires 360 million points.

To obtain 1080 Void Vines, 3000 million points are required.

Even a Marquis-level Immortal would have a headache facing 1080 Void Vines.

"Since the future goal is to cultivate them to the immortal level, we must choose the most perfect solution."

Meng Jingrong had already made up his mind. Taking advantage of the 30% discount from the Primal Secret Realm, he spent another 2142 million points to buy the complete set of cultivation resources for 1080 Void Vines.

Having dealt with the evolution of plant life, Meng Jingrong focused his remaining points on increasing "body amplitude".

In the cultivation system of the primordial universe, a force multiplier of 100 times is equivalent to 1 body amplitude.

Some rare and unique skills can further enhance the amplitude effect on this basis.

It should be noted that even the vast majority of cosmic overlords standing at the top of the cosmic pyramid have a divine body amplitude of only a few dozen times.

A 100-fold increase in body amplitude is the universally acknowledged absolute limit of the primordial universe.

This is an ironclad rule that no one can break!

The holographic projection then switched to the arcane arts section, where countless arcane techniques filled the light screen.

Meng Jingrong patiently screened them one by one, and finally three unique skills stood out and became the key considerations.

These are "Nine Chapters of the Chilong", "The Star Canon of Purgatory", and "The True Explanation of the Universe".

Among them, the cultivation cost of "Nine Chapters of the Chi Dragon" is the lowest, requiring only 4.6 million points to increase the body's amplitude to 8.2 times.

However, it also has the lowest upper limit among the three books—even if one cultivates it to perfection, one can only reach an amplitude of 49 times.

This was clearly not a long-term solution for Meng Jingrong, so it was the first option he ruled out.

The cost-effectiveness of "Purgatory Star Codex" is relatively balanced.

Spending 4.6 million points can increase one's power by 7.1 times; at the highest level, the amplitude can reach 81 times.

But after thinking for a moment, Meng Jingrong still chose to eliminate it.

Since a huge amount of points are to be invested, we should naturally pursue the most perfect result; a slight error can lead to a huge mistake.

Ultimately, he focused all his attention on "The True Meaning of the Universe".

The True Explanation of the Universe is divided into three volumes.

The first half of the first volume mainly provides guidance on understanding the laws for those below the Venerable level.

The second half describes the secret techniques of the "Original Body of Chaos".

"The Chaos Origin Body" was created by the "Primordial Ancestor," the greatest being of the human race. It is considered the most advanced body amplitude technique in the universe and consists of seven levels.

The first layer has an amplitude of 2 times.

The second layer has an amplitude of 4 times.

The third layer has an amplitude of 8 times.

……

The sixth layer experienced an amplitude of 64 times!

The seventh layer, with an amplitude of 100 times!

Based on Meng Jingrong's current understanding of the laws, which is close to being crowned a king, theoretically, he can cultivate to the sixth level with a 64-fold amplitude.

However, to cultivate to the third level of 8x amplitude, the required points are as high as 50 billion.

The most important treasure for cultivating the Chaos Origin Body is the Star Origin Crystal.

After careful consideration.

Meng Jingrong gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the 30% discount offered by the Primal Secret Realm, spent 3.22 million points to exchange for basic cultivation resources that could increase his body's vibration amplitude by 6 times.

After purchasing the core cultivation resources.

Meng Jingrong did not stop, but instead opened the special treasure page and spent 2100 million points to buy 30 grams of "Soul Devouring Essence Liquid".

This deadly venom is his hidden trump card.

After completing a series of purchases, Meng Jingrong had 2481500 points remaining in his personal score.

Looking at his drastically reduced points, he shook his head with a smile, "No matter how many more points I have, it still won't be enough."

However, his points-based strategy did not end there.

Besides improving himself, Meng Jingrong also wanted to help his apprentice, Lin Youfeng.

According to his estimate, Lin Youfeng only had a little over 3 points, which was barely enough to buy even basic secret techniques.
