Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 129 New Direction for the Family's Development

Bolan is a genius who appears only once every ten thousand epochs. Although such a genius is not the most outstanding among all the geniuses in the history of the entire human race, and even the ruler of the universe looks down on him, it does not mean that he is bad. You should know that only one such genius appears once every ten thousand epochs of genius battles. If he had not been too arrogant and chose the Cosmic Chaos Stele, but instead chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele like Shen Ping and Luo Feng, then he would have already passed the fifth level.

After all, during the finals of the Genius Battle, he was able to unleash thousands of illusionary bodies!

Chaos City has only been comprehending this for 13 years.

The delay wasn't too long.

Therefore, in the eyes of the immortal teacher, Bolan's change was the wisest choice.

"There are three ways to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Monument. From now on, you will follow the path that deviates from the spatial dimension..."

"Yes, teacher."

While many geniuses were astonished by Luo Feng's rapid progress.

The Nine Realms lineage of Chaos City, including the Immortal King Zhenyan, were also surprised and puzzled.

Inside the Nine-Yu Building.

Black Mist King, Thousand Illusions King, Pupil King, and others gathered together.

"Zhen Yan, this Luo Feng is your newly accepted disciple. What's going on with him? Why has he improved so remarkably?"

The fact that even those who have been granted titles can utter such astonishing words shows just how remarkable Luo Feng's progress has been.

They all knew that Luo Feng had grasped the essence of space, but even if the first eight of the nine spatial essences, except for the first one, were relatively easy, he shouldn't have progressed so quickly.

King Zhenyan stroked the downy hair on his face. "To be honest, I'm also completely baffled. Luo Feng is indeed outstanding, but based on my previous assessment, it would have taken him at least ten years to pass the fourth level. Yet, he has only taken three years."

"And what's strange is that although he has often come to my residence to attend classes over the past three years, he has rarely asked me for help."

These words were spoken.

King Jianhuang and others who were granted the title of king were even more surprised.

The raindrop diagram on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele is indeed not too difficult, but for a genius of the universe level, many doubts will arise during the process of comprehending it. That is why passing through the third level of the Heavenly Bridge and becoming an apprentice is so precious.

With a teacher to guide you and without a teacher to guide you.

The difference is enormous.

King Zhenyan thought for a moment, "Let me ask my disciple."

Virtual universe.

Zhenyan Wang quickly connected with Luo Feng on the phone.

"My disciple, your progress over the past three years has been truly astonishing. Many of those who have been granted titles are now surprised and have come to me for guidance."

He said with a smile.

Having such an outstanding disciple naturally carried a sense of pride in his tone.

Luo Feng hurriedly said, "Master, the main reason I was able to pass the fourth level so quickly is..."

Hearing the explanation.

King Zhenyan was astonished. "So, you've made such great progress because you received guidance from Shen Ping?"

Luo Feng nodded, "Disciple and Shen Ping are from the same hometown. When we were discussing the raindrop painting, we used the culture of my hometown. Perhaps it was because of this inspiration that we were able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

King Zhenyan then realized and laughed, "Your relationship with Shen Ping is indeed quite good. He has already passed the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he has completely comprehended the Raindrop Diagram. There is no need for him to study it anymore, but he still spends time discussing it with you. Obviously, he intends to help you."

"But disciple, time is precious in Chaos City, you should have made that clear."

Luo Feng replied, "Yes, teacher."

End the call.

After Zhenyan King briefly explained the situation, the other King-level Immortals were no longer surprised. Shen Ping had a high level of understanding of the laws and an amazing talent for fusing laws, so there was no problem for him to guide Luo Feng.

And the news spread quickly.

Other geniuses could only envy Luo Feng for having a good fellow townsman.

When the Nine Swords Venerable learned of this, he chuckled and said, "My disciple is quite kind to his fellow villagers. Well, as long as it doesn't affect his cultivation, it's fine. Longyu, remind Shen Ping when you have time."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

……

Chaos City.

Lianluo's residence on the rooftop.

Several months later.

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Master, isn't this kind of discussion a waste of your time?"

Shen Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha, Luo Feng, I'm not a saint. As the saying goes, reviewing the old helps one understand the new. Every time we discuss raindrop diagrams and drizzle diagrams, I gain a new understanding of the essence of space and the fundamental laws of space. This understanding helps me to delve deeper into the laws of space."

"So, in reality, we're helping each other out."

Luo Feng sensed the sincerity in Shen Ping's tone and smiled, "That's good. If only I benefited, I would inevitably feel guilty."

Shen Ping teased, "As long as you don't mind, it's fine if I don't speak as well as your teacher, the True King Yan."

Done.

The two continued their discussion.

They all have clones, and even if they are discussing, it won't delay their clones from comprehending the fundamental laws.

And so, the 14th year of Chaos City passed quietly.

In just four years.

Shen Ping then fully digested and absorbed the eight spatial essences between 72 and 80, and in addition, his understanding of the fundamental laws of space also improved.

This delighted him.

There are 108 types of spatial essence, and now he only needs to learn 28 more. According to the pattern of family rewards, he will be able to fully comprehend the spatial essence after a maximum of four more prosperity level evaluation rewards.

By then.

His understanding of the laws will reach the level of the 12th level of the Bridge to Heaven.

This is a level of understanding of the laws of the Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic level.

"Four prosperity ratings... the family business should be able to get one more, and the number of descendants is also good, but as for the foundation, I'm afraid that will be more difficult!"

Since becoming the lord of the Milky Way, the family has not received any new family rewards. After all, one star system is enough for the family to develop and reproduce for the time being. Even if they continue to buy star systems, it will be difficult to obtain rewards in a short period of time, because the value of just one Earth is not low.

The industry is currently worth 10,000 Mixed Yuan units. Luo Feng's wife Xu Xin's company was able to acquire 100,000 assets by the end of Chaos City, so the Shen family certainly could as well. Especially compared to the Luo family, the Shen family, with its incredibly strong and profound foundation, would accumulate assets even faster.

"It's a tight spot, but I can only try my best!"

He shook his head gently.

Master Nine Swords Venerable had high expectations for him, and as his disciple, Shen Ping could only strive in that direction.

"If we whip our sons and grandsons a bit more, we should be able to increase our family line twice over..."

Thinking of this.

Shen Ping opened the virtual window.

I want to see how the family's population and offspring have increased during this period.

The situation regarding the number of members and offspring is different now than before. Instead of receiving a reward for each new member, a family reward is only given once for every 100 new members.

Looking at the new font.

A smile appeared on his face. Four years in Chaos City, about thirteen years in the Primordial Universe, his children and grandchildren had worked very hard.

"We need to add more rewards for having children to really incentivize it!"

Look down.

His eyes quickly showed surprise.

The last line of text revealed a new family direction.

[Your guidance on Luo Feng's Raindrop Painting in Chaos City has significantly boosted your family's prestige, marking a major step towards prosperity.]

[Rewards include the Gold Origin Law Talent, the Water Origin Law Talent, the Fire Law Talent, and the Space Law Talent]

[Bonus Reward: Fire-Sky Beast God Fusion Law Talent, Increased Comprehension of Spatial Essence]

After looking at the font.

Shen Ping blinked, somewhat dazed.

He never expected that guiding Luo Feng would earn him a reward in terms of family prestige. He had received similar recognition back on Earth, but he had always thought that prestige and reputation were essentially the same thing. Now it seemed that they were not.

Reputation is more about fame, fame, and reach, and it has long been flourishing in this respect.

But prestige seems to place more emphasis on respect and trust...

At least through this guidance from Luo Feng, he could feel that Luo Feng respected him even more than before.

Come back to your senses.

He pondered that the prestige of the Dark Path family was likely similar to the level of trust in the Chaos City Lord, characterized by fairness and impartiality.

When the name of the Lord of Chaos is mentioned among the human race, many cosmic venerables, including other cosmic lords, will subconsciously feel that he acts fairly and impartially. This is the prestige that the Lord of Chaos has accumulated over countless years.

Now, when he guides Luo Feng, a sense of trust and respect arises in him as well.

Once you understand this, you'll understand.

Shen Ping couldn't help but get excited. Although the prestige was only at the prosperous level, it was still a new direction for the family's development. Moreover, judging from the rewards, they were mostly rewards for law talents.

Receive.

He silently recited it in his mind.

boom.

The talents of metal, water, fire, space, and fire-space all descended upon it. In fact, space itself contains the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The deeper one's understanding of the laws of space, the easier it will be to comprehend the five laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But even if it is easy, it is not as good as having the talent in this area.

hum.

Before he could recover from the joy of his increased talent, his mind suddenly became incredibly clear. The spatial essence analysis and spatial origin laws that he had previously digested and absorbed were quickly reviewed in his mind like a slideshow.

In this process.

Shen Ping has a deeper understanding of the 1st to 80th essential aspects of space. If he used the imagery and scenery of China to describe the essence before, it was just a way of incorporating his own understanding, but now his understanding in this regard has become much deeper.

The moment you break free from that state.

He immediately connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and then went to the training ground to practice his swordsmanship.

With each swing of the sword, different artistic conceptions burst forth from the swordsmanship: the grandeur of the bright moon rising over the sea, the tranquility of a clear spring flowing among rocks, the loneliness of fishing alone in the cold river snow, and the resilience that a wildfire cannot extinguish...

The drills lasted for several days.

He then sheathed his sword and stood still.

An incredulous look appeared in his eyes.

He hadn't paid much attention to the reward of spatial essence comprehension, but after digesting and absorbing it, it directly improved his understanding of swordsmanship and spatial essence by so much.

"Sudden enlightenment... Could this be sudden enlightenment?"

"No, this is different from sudden enlightenment!"

Shen Ping was deep in thought.

His state of mind was as if he had rediscovered the world, much like how a primitive person's understanding of the world is certainly not as advanced as that of a modern person.

same.

In terms of the essence of space, neither he nor Lian Luo, who created the snowflakes and analyzed the essence of space, can compare to the eternal true god who comprehended the origin of the universe.

Although such a comparison is somewhat exaggerated, that's how Shen Ping feels right now.

simply put.

His swordsmanship just now was no longer about utilizing or influencing space, but rather about creating space through artistic conception.

Of course, Shen Ping is still far from fully comprehending the fundamental laws of space. He can't even control space, let alone create it. He just has this illusion. But obviously, the reward effect of comprehending the essence of space is very powerful.

This essentially gave him the foundation to create his own secret techniques.

"Family business, foundation, reputation, and descendants—now, prestige has been added to the equation!"

"How can I increase my prestige?"

shook his head.

Shen Ping suppressed his thoughts. He knew too little about prestige. He had only received this reward by guiding Luo Feng and helping him improve faster. He couldn't guide others, after all, he was only a cosmic-level expert.

People like Wuka, Qianshui, and Rongjun are all geniuses. Their teachers are at least Immortals, and they usually listen to lectures by Kings. Even if they help Luo Feng improve very quickly, they will not think that their guidance is comparable to that of Kings.

Even he himself doesn't think so.

……

time flies.

Stimulated by the abundant reward resources, the Shen family's descendants were all working like crazy, desperately trying to have children at home. Shen Ping's 38th son, for example, married over a hundred wives in one go. He did nothing but eat and sleep with his wives every day. As a result, the more he did this, the faster his strength improved. Because of the rewarded Locke Divine Water and other precious auxiliary resources, he could easily break through to the Hengxing level without any effort.

This kind of encouragement.

In the 19th year of Chaos City.

Shen Ping finally received the prosperity evaluation reward in terms of population and offspring. In the ordinary reward column, he obtained the 92nd type of spatial essence analysis, which means that this reward added 12 types of spatial analysis to his collection.

There was a reward.

He took it directly and continued to discuss the raindrop diagram and drizzle diagram with Luo Feng. At the same time, he occasionally sparred with Shen Ping, gradually influencing Luo Feng with his powerful understanding of the essence of space through these exchanges.

The 21th year of Chaos City.

He thoroughly digested and absorbed the 92nd type of spatial analysis, and that year, Uka passed through the third level of the Skybridge.

Luo Feng, on the other hand, had mastered the tenth set of sword techniques. As for the Raindrop Diagram, he had already mastered it in the 18th year of his life in Chaos City.

Lianluo's residence on the rooftop.

Shen Ping and Luo Feng have now settled in here permanently.

"The three images, Raindrop, Drizzle, and Downpour, are all a complete whole. They reveal the profound spatial conception through the number of raindrops. When we geniuses go to the Chaos Stele to study it, we can all comprehend the mysteries of our own swordsmanship and other specialties... Therefore, Luo Feng, when you use the Divine Weapon, you should use it more to influence space, rather than simply utilizing it... How to influence it? I suggest you stop comprehending the 11th set of Snowdrift Sword Technique for now and relearn the previous 9 sets of sword techniques."

"The most important thing is the artistic conception, the artistic conception! Don't think that if you understand the essence of space, you don't need to specifically understand the artistic conception. The artistic conception is not just a manifestation of the law, it also contains the law. Remember when I told you about the bright moon rising over the sea? You should try to use the artistic conception to contain the law, not use the law to reveal the artistic conception. These two are different..."

Discussion complete.

Luo Feng was a little confused for the first time. He knew what Shen Ping meant by the influence space, but he didn't understand the so-called law contained in the artistic conception.

Babata couldn't help but say, "Luo Feng, I feel that your understanding of space as the museum master has far surpassed yours. Moreover, compared to before, his progress is very obvious. At the beginning, when Shen Ping discussed the raindrop diagram and the drizzle diagram, he started from the laws, but now he starts from the artistic conception and swordsmanship."

"Sometimes watching him practice his swordsmanship is like observing the principles themselves."

Luo Feng nodded in deep agreement, "The more the master improves, the better. It's no fun if it's always just me improving."

Babata laughed, "By the way, now that you've mastered the Raindrop Diagram, you should be able to pass the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven. After Bolan suddenly realized his mistake, he passed the fifth level in just three years. His progress is much faster than before."

Luo Feng shook his head, "No rush. Let's go when we're confident we can get past the sixth level."

Babata exclaimed excitedly, "The sixth floor? Tsk tsk, Luo Feng, your ambition is truly great!"

"With the curator guiding me so tirelessly, how could I not have any ambition!"

……

Shen Ping has indeed made great progress.

Over the course of these seven years, he once again received an award for prestige, and his understanding of spatial perception rose once more.

Of course.

Not only in terms of spatial cognition, but also in the analysis of the essence of space and the fundamental laws of space, he has surpassed his understanding of the fundamental laws of fire.

If he were to attempt the Sky Bridge now, he could easily pass the tenth level, but passing the twelfth level would still be quite a distance away.

Virtual universe.

Jiuxingwan Residential Area, Heilongshan Island.

Inside the pavilion.

While personally feeding Shen Ping fine wine, An Xueyi leaned against him and reported on the family's industrial development over the past few years.

"Husband, with the help of Marquis Yin Sheng, our businesses are indeed developing very quickly, and they have spread to more than a thousand directly controlled star regions. However, many of these businesses are currently managed by me and people from Brolin. The growth of the direct bloodline within the family is still too slow. But if we give them another 30 to 50 years, they should be able to be distributed out."

"As for financial investments, Luo Hua of the Luo family is truly a genius; his assets have tripled in just over twenty years!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that three times is a small amount.

The initial capital given to Luo Hua was as high as 20,000 Chaos Yuan Units. It is extremely difficult to increase such a resource. Many immortals cannot improve their assets in their entire lives. For example, the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region has not improved much over the years.

"So, we're not far from reaching 10 Mixed Yuan Units?"

Shen Ping couldn't help but ask.

An Xueyi nodded, "Based on the current situation, we can achieve that in another six months!"

Upon hearing this...

A smile appeared on his face. According to his estimate, once he reached 100,000 Mixed Yuan Units, he could once again receive the prosperity evaluation reward for the family business.

"Great job, thank you for your hard work."

"Hehe, how should our husbands reward us?"

"Come together tonight."

Shen Ping said with a smile.

Although the virtual universe doesn't have the same tactile feel as reality, he was really feeling stifled after spending over twenty years in Chaos City, and could only make up for it a little in the virtual universe.
