Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 108 Three Years of Progress

The entire abyss resembles a giant crack, appearing from a distance like a sliver of sky. On both sides, it glows with a fleshy red color, with layers of water mist condensing, while the surface of the abyss is completely devoid of vegetation.

Such a view is truly captivating.

Shen Ping couldn't wait to step into the abyss to explore.

a few days later.

He couldn't break free from it.

The abyss is so long and deep that it would take at least half a month to explore every detail.

Fortunately, he was a ninth-level expert of the Hengxing star. Otherwise, an ordinary person would be afraid just by looking at the abyss, let alone stepping into it. They would probably be killed by the power of the abyss as soon as they entered the surface.

at this time.

Inside the castle, An Xueyi looked at Shen Ping, who hadn't emerged for several days, and couldn't help but snort. She thought to herself, "This Ninth Princess usually seems quite dashing and imposing, with the air of royalty. In the Thunder World, she commands a million-strong army, a truly awe-inspiring figure. I never expected her to be so mad in this regard. She'll have a rival in the future!"

"However, she is, after all, a princess, and cannot wholeheartedly fight for the Shen family. In this respect, she is not as good as me. I just heard my mother say that if you want to win a man's heart, you have to start with what he is most interested in."

Thinking of this, An Xueyi pondered.

Over the years she spent with Shen Ping, she had gotten to know his temperament quite well. He was indeed very concerned about the development of the family, but he wasn't as focused on cultivation as Luo Feng, Hong, or Lei Shen.

But this is merely the surface.

An Xueyi was well aware that Shen Ping also cared a great deal about cultivation.

"Cultivation must still be the top priority. The rest is to use the influence of my An family and my grandfather to help the Shen family develop in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as much as possible. In addition, we also need to win over Li Yuewei and Su Yin. In Earth terms, they are my junior brother's wives who have shared hardships with him. Their feelings for each other are even deeper than mine in some ways."

With Shen Ping's rise to power.

The entire An family has focused their attention on An Xueyi, including her grandfather An Mengzi. After all, everyone can see that as long as Shen Ping doesn't perish, he will definitely hold a high position in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom in the future.

Therefore, even An Xueyi's mother began to consciously or unconsciously instill in her the concept of how to compete for favor. A family's resources are limited. The Shen family has few members now, but there will definitely be more and more in the future. Moreover, the number of outstanding women around Shen Ping will continue to increase. Under such circumstances, if she does not take the initiative to compete for favor, she will be gradually marginalized in the future.

at this point.

An Xueyi knew it in her heart.

……

Time passed little by little.

Besides spending his days working hard with the Ninth Princess and An Xueyi, Shen Ping spent the rest of his time digesting and absorbing the rewards he received. It is worth mentioning that after officially becoming the Lord of the Galaxy, his family foundation also directly received the evaluation of family prosperity. Originally, he estimated that he would at most receive the most powerful evaluation of family prosperity.

Since he already had hundreds of inhabited planets, to significantly improve his rating, he would need at least dozens of star systems.

To know.

The family's reputation was soaring in the capital of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which has more than 13,000 star regions. How many star systems are in one star region?

Therefore, he never expected that a galaxy like the Milky Way would receive a prosperity rating, which was obviously due to Earth's special circumstances.

After all, the Earth was transformed by the powerful being who sat on the mountain.

"Unfortunately, no new good items appeared in the bonus rewards!"

Shen Ping looked at the virtual frame and gently shook his head.

In this regard.

He wasn't too disappointed.

The rewards from family prestige are already quite generous; any good items that come along are merely icing on the cake.

The most important thing for him now is to properly transform and absorb these rewards and turn them into the foundation of the family.

Nearly three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

December 2069, 3.

The final day of the cycle of war.

Qiulongxing.

Inside a massive castle, more than ten kilometers long and wide.

Training ground.

Shen Ping was practicing his swordsmanship with the Flame God Blade in hand. Sparks and blade shadows erupted one after another, reaching a total of 72 fiery blade afterimages. Finally, they converged and slashed into the space, leaving a faint fire mark in the air.

Three years.

With a fire talent comparable to that of a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch generation, coupled with the digestion and absorption of the family's rewards, he fully mastered the fourth level of the Flame God Blade technique. Moreover, relying on his fire talent, he was able to forcefully unleash the fifth level, Fiery Tree and Silver Flowers.

This floor wasn't actually called that, but after the 72 fiery blade afterimages erupted, it was as beautiful and dazzling as a fiery tree and silver flowers, so he changed the name to that.

The fifth level is already at the level of a Realm Lord's understanding of flames.

Bolan's talent in the spatial origin law of the genius battle surpassed that of many realm lords. Now, he has also reached the realm lord level of understanding in terms of fire. If he fully masters the fifth level of Fire Tree Silver Flower, he will surpass most realm lords.

moment.

At the moment of sheathing the sword.

His body erupted with countless illusory forms, numbering in the hundreds.

During the melee in the arena.

He could unleash more than forty illusory bodies, and although it seems that he has only increased by more than sixty bodies in such a long period of time, the improvement is enormous.

The Hundred Illusionary Bodies means that Shen Ping has cultivated the "Illusionary Void" secret technique to the Hundred Illusionary Bodies level. The next level is the Thousand Illusionary Bodies and the Ten Thousand Illusionary Bodies, as well as the final teleportation.

Such a big improvement.

It was thanks to Shen Ping's continuous efforts over the past three years in cultivating the Ninth Princess Brolin, An Xueyi, Li Yuewei, and Su Yin that nine bloodline offspring were born. It was this unremitting effort that enabled the fundamental laws of space to reach a transformative level.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on your further advancement in your comprehension of the fundamental laws of space!"

An Xueyi, who was watching the fight from the sidelines, saw Shen Ping sheathe his sword and immediately came over to offer him some drinks and snacks.

Ninth Princess Brolin was not to be outdone, and quickly went behind him to massage his shoulders and back.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "If you two have nothing to do, go and check on the children's cultivation. The eldest son has now entered the Qianwu Dojo, and I heard he's causing quite a stir there."

The eldest son, Shen Yu, is already twenty years old. With the family's nurturing and the assistance of Locke's Divine Water, his genetic energy broke through to the Hengxing level two years ago, and is now at the second level of the Hengxing level.

An Xueyi stuck out her tongue. "Yu'er is quite mischievous and rather combative. He has a father who is such a brilliant genius like you, so he feels a lot of pressure. Therefore, he is eager to achieve results and show himself, which is understandable."

Brolin said, "He's still young, just give him more time."

Compared to Shen Yu, Shen Hui and Shen Cheng were much less of a worry. They often stayed in the castle to cultivate, and occasionally went to the Qianwu Dojo.

However, Shen Ping knew that An Xueyi was right.

The bloodlines of wise rulers in ancient times often did not produce outstanding individuals. This is because wise and sage rulers put a lot of pressure on their descendants, and only those who could withstand the pressure could stand out. Many families in the universe are like this. Take the Luo family, for example. Luo Feng is so dazzling, so the chances of his descendants producing dazzling geniuses are very low. Even Luo Ping and Luo Hai can only be described as average.

Therefore, regarding his own son.

He didn't have high expectations; he just hoped they could cultivate normally. After all, even with normal cultivation, with so many resources from the family to nurture them, plus good teachers, they were destined to become world lords, or even immortals.

suddenly.

Shen Ping's expression shifted. "Alright, I should go to the arena now."

After speaking, his consciousness entered the virtual universe.

Soon.

Then he and Luo Feng arrived at the island preparation hall numbered 00001.

At this moment, the preparation hall was filled with many geniuses from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom who had secured a spot in the top 1000.

"Look, it's Butcher Shen Ping!"

"This guy is insane! He unleashed over forty illusory forms during the chaotic battle in the arena—it's terrifying!"

"Many powerful figures say he can break into the top ten of the overall universe rankings."

"Nearly three years have passed, and I wonder if he's made any progress!"

"Right next to me is Luo Feng. His progress is nothing short of miraculous. Back in the arena competition, he was only considered one of the top ten in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but now he's already ranked third!"

Many people couldn't help but whisper among themselves when they saw Shen Ping and Luo Feng.

"madman."

"Butcher."

"You two are really slow."

At this moment, Rong Jun, a wild man as tall as a one-story building, walked over with messy hair and big feet. He looked at Shen Ping and grinned, "You, you eliminated me in the World Zone, and Luo Feng, who was with you, almost eliminated me in the Arena. Are all of you from the same place this strong?!"

Luo Feng smiled.

Shen Ping laughed heartily, "Savage, aren't you quite formidable yourself?"

Rong Jun clicked his tongue and said, "When we get to the finals of the universe, we'll have to have another match. I won't lose to you then."

Shen Ping shrugged. "Don't worry, I'll eliminate you with one strike."

The two of them immediately laughed.

"Everyone, enter the arena."

A member of the Virtual Universe Company shouted.

All the geniuses entered the arena and saw the immortal warrior in scale armor under the command of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The mere pressure of his consciousness made all the geniuses feel oppressed.

"The cycle of reincarnation is over."

"Congratulations on securing your spots in the Universal Finals. However, I must remind you that in the Universal Finals, you will be facing geniuses from other universes, making it much more difficult. Some universes are much larger than our Qianwu Universe, with more star systems, and naturally, more geniuses!"

"There's still a year and a half until they all finish. During this time, you should focus on improving your skills and strive for good results in the finals!"

Done.

The man in the scale armor battle robe then left.

Luo Feng felt completely relaxed. "The cycle of reincarnation is finally over."

Rong Jun nodded, "Yes, Luo Feng, you've made great progress in the past three years."

Luo Feng laughed, "With monsters like you ahead of me, how could I dare to relax even a little? Alright, see you at the Universal Finals!"

soon.

Over a thousand talented martial arts masters left the arena one after another.
