Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 136 Uka Rongjun's Shock

Virtual universe.

Rain falls on the mountain.

Besides the places where the immortals and the geniuses of the four secret realms live and cultivate, there is also a large public entertainment area. Although each region has a public area, the public entertainment area that all secret realm members can go to is the most lively place in Yuxiang Mountain.

Members of the Heaven and Earth, Doomsday, and other districts, especially the elderly, often come here.

And the entertainment area.

It has everything from bars and arenas to restaurants.

That day.

Not far from the bar, Shen Ping, Luo Feng, Wu Ka, and Rong Jun sat at a stone table in a pavilion, which was built specifically to resemble the landscape of Earth.

There are ponds, lotus leaves, and gardens.

It looks pleasing to the eye.

"Come on, let's drink first."

This is the first time the four of them have gathered together since leaving Chaos City. They used to have small gatherings in Chaos City, but as they became more and more engrossed in their studies, such gatherings became very rare.

Therefore, the atmosphere between them became somewhat distant.

Shen Ping poured wine for Rong Jun and Wu Ka, breaking the atmosphere.

After drinking a few glasses of wine.

Uka couldn't help but say casually, "Shen Ping, I haven't congratulated you on conquering the cosmic-level Primal Tongtian Mountain yet, have a drink."

He sent an email.

This is just a face-to-face congratulation.

Rong Jun followed closely behind, laughing, "Mount Tongtian is the ultimate benchmark for every genius. I originally thought that it would take us at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation to pass it, but I didn't expect that you, Shen Ping, would pass it before even leaving Chaos City!"

"Back in the qualifiers, I lost to you, and I truly deserved it!"

Uka laughed and said, "To lose to Shen Ping is an honor. Countless people would love to lose but don't even have the chance to spar with him."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but wink at Shen Ping.

Back when they entered Chaos City, all the geniuses actually wanted to spar with Shen Ping. Even though they knew they would lose, they still had a strong desire to do so. After all, being able to personally experience the strength of the other party would be a powerful spur to them.

pity.

The geniuses directly secured their spots in the finals.

Later, when Shen Ping crossed the Tongtian Bridge and the gap widened dramatically, they had no chance at all. Even their teacher didn't mind sparring with Shen Ping, because if the gap was too big, sparring would not be helpful and would only add an invincible opponent to their minds.

This can really affect your mood.

That's why Uka said Rong Jun was lucky.

Shen Ping smiled and drank a cup with Rong Jun and Wu Ka respectively.

After a few drinks...

The atmosphere in the pavilion became lively, and the sense of alienation completely disappeared, even the tension caused by the difference between them vanished.

Rong Jun took the initiative to ask about the discussion, "Shen Ping, as you know, Uka and I both follow the Giant Axe School. Although we are also from the main space, our path is different from that of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele. Our discussion might affect each other. I wonder if you have considered this?"

Different Chaos Steles have different patterns and explain different Dao.

The first three images of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele are like axe marks, each representing the gradual deepening of the fundamental laws of space. They are similar to the raindrops on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, but the methods and artistic conceptions they interpret are completely different.

Unless one has grasped the essence of space, forcing oneself to comprehend it will only harm oneself.

Of course.

They have only studied the first three pictures so far, and mainly the first and second ones. They haven't studied them in depth, so even if they do, the impact won't be too great.

Therefore.

Ukarongjun then agreed to come.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Rong Jun, Wu Ka, I know your concerns. Our discussion will mainly focus on our understanding of the essence of the fundamental laws of space. I will also share some of my own insights into the nature of space, but that will be discussed later."

Hear this.

Ukarongjun was finally relieved.

The fundamental laws of space include the five lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. For example, True King Yan comprehends earth and space, but he can still teach Luo Feng metal and space, although he cannot be as proficient as the Immortal King Feng, who specializes in teaching the fundamental laws of metal.

"What is artistic conception...? My understanding is that it is a manifestation of the influence of the fundamental laws on reality, which brings together all things in heaven and earth, such as wind, rain, thunderclouds, ocean waves, planets, nebulae, etc. Including the pictures and texts presented on the Chaos Stele, which are the super-powerful beings interpreting their most fundamental fundamental laws through some natural phenomena..."

He spoke very frankly, but in reality, without a certain understanding of the fundamental laws, it sounds like reading a textbook, leaving you confused. Moreover, if your understanding is superficial, you'll feel like you don't understand anything at all, and what he said is as good as nothing at all.

Both Luo Feng and Wu Ka Rongjun are geniuses who have passed through the third level of the Tongtian Bridge and have a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of space. They immediately understood that what Shen Ping was talking about was seeing the essence through the scenery of heaven and earth and all things, such as why the wind moves, the waves move, and why nebulae revolve around planets, etc.

Therefore, everyone listened attentively.

Even Luo Feng, who had heard of him before, was listening.

"I believe that to understand the essence of a scene, one can gradually grasp it through the changes in static images. First, understand the static scene..."

Later on...

To be honest, apart from Luo Feng, Wu Ka Rongjun was a bit confused.

The main problem is that they haven't analyzed the essence of space, so it naturally sounds difficult.

When Shen Ping stopped.

Uka Rongjun also shared his understanding of artistic conception, and also mentioned some insights and doubts he had about what Shen Ping had just said.

Luo Feng quickly joined in, sharing his insights into the 108 sword techniques created by Lian Luo. "The reason why the essence of space is difficult to comprehend and study is mainly because each sword technique is interconnected. Missing any one of them will affect the rest. This is what is meant by 'pulling one hair affects the whole body.'"

Discussion complete.

Uka shook his head helplessly, "Shen Ping, Luo Feng, you two do have a very deep understanding of the essence of space, but Rong Jun and I don't have that kind of mindset."

Rong Jun echoed, "Yes, Uka and I both use axes; we only see axes."

Upon hearing this...

Shen Ping laughed, "Since you all like axes, then I'll use an axe to briefly explain the first nine ways to comprehend the essence of space!"

As a genius who has thoroughly grasped the essence of 108 spatial concepts, and with the instilled knowledge of his family's rewards, he can now explain it with great ease. Even when he uses an axe to explain it, it doesn't seem out of place at all.

However, since he wasn't an axe user by profession, he could only reinterpret the family reward instruction with a simplified understanding.

Even with such a rudimentary understanding of axe techniques, Wuka Rongjun experienced a profound sense of enlightenment. It should be noted that when they comprehended the fundamental laws of space, they were pursuing that mysterious feeling and combining it with some secret techniques to comprehend it.

This mysterious feeling is actually a gift, but the further you go, the more difficult and profound it becomes.

Therefore... those who can truly break through to the level of the Universe Venerable Realm Lord Immortal are extremely rare, mainly because many problems they accumulated in the early stages eventually became obstacles.

However, now...

After listening to Shen Ping's explanation, Wu Ka Rongjun gained a clearer understanding of the direction of his comprehension of the origin of space.

simply put.

It was like giving them a guiding light in the fog, even though this light was still blurry in the thick fog, it was much better than before.

They listened intently to Shen Ping's explanation.

Until Shen Ping finished speaking.

They were still immersed in their own world.

Luo Feng couldn't help but laugh; he had the same reaction when they first discussed and exchanged ideas.

moment.

When Ukarongjun came to his senses, he and his partner looked at each other and saw the joy and shock in each other's eyes.

What delighted them was that they had a direction for their next stage of understanding, and that if they continued to listen, this direction would become clearer and clearer. It could be said that they now understood that Luo Feng's astonishing speed of progress was definitely related to the discussions with Shen Ping, which was why they were so happy.

As for the shock, it was because they never expected Shen Ping to have such a profound understanding of the essence of space, especially when combined with the previous description of that artistic conception. They couldn't wait to organize these things and practice them.

"Shen Ping, thank you!"

Before leaving.

The two bowed to Shen Ping in unison.

In the universe, it is necessary to perform the apprenticeship ceremony when facing a powerful person who can guide you. Although Shen Ping is not a guide, his effect is even stronger than that of a true mentor.

Shen Ping quickly said, "You two shouldn't be like that. We're here to discuss and exchange ideas. You've both learned from Luo Feng, and I can benefit from it as well."

"We know!"

Uka laughed and said, "Alright, Shen Ping, we won't say any more words of thanks."

Rong Jun nodded and silently kept this kindness in his heart.

"Alright, from now on, we'll come here to discuss and exchange ideas on this day every month. If anything takes you away, please let us know in advance."

Upon hearing Shen Ping's suggestion...

Ukarongjun and Luo Feng both showed joy.

After all, if we could hear it every month, how fast would the progress be?

……

Wuchen Continent.

A primitive manor.

Shen Ping's consciousness exited the virtual universe and then opened the virtual window.

Sure enough, a new font appeared above, and it was about rewards related to family prestige. Although the family's evaluation was not high, the rewards were the same as before: law talents and the ability to understand the essence of space.

But this still excited him.

The fact that Rong Jun could obtain it through Uka means that his previous predictions were correct.

As long as you can earn the respect of other geniuses, you can continuously receive rewards in terms of family prestige.

If he can continue to accumulate his various talents, he will eventually be able to quickly comprehend other fundamental laws during his time as a realm master.

"Only by comprehending the Ten Fundamental Laws can one better comprehend the origin of the universe and break through to the level of a True God... and the Realm Lord stage is the best period for comprehending these laws. If I want to go further, I must plan ahead and prepare myself while I am still weak!"

Collapse the virtual frame.

He was deep in thought.

Unlike Luo Feng, Wu Ka, and Rong Jun, Shen Ping was very clear about the direction of the cultivation system, and even how to better lay the foundation.

Why did the Divine King Sitting on the Mountain want Luo Feng to follow the Secret Pattern School?

The main reason is that through the Secret Pattern School, one can more easily and quickly master the ten fundamental laws of the universe. Moreover, in the early stages of comprehension, there is no need to understand or study them; one only needs to follow the clues.

The essence of space is very difficult to grasp.

But once you understand the entire space, it becomes easier to grasp its essence.

The Secret Pattern School is like that; you don't need to understand it deeply. You just need to be able to imitate it and understand what each secret pattern represents.

same.

The same applies to other laws.

Shen Ping had never thought about this before, mainly because the family rewards did not include talents of other laws. But now it's different. With the continued gain of family prestige, his ambition naturally grows little by little.

half a month later.

Original area.

Inside the manor.

Shen Ping was on the phone with his teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Disciple, you geniuses have been cultivating in your respective secret realms for some time now. How are you finding it?"

"The Nine Swords Venerable asked."

Shen Ping answered truthfully, "This disciple feels that my comprehension speed is not as fast as that of Chaos City. Without the Chaos Stele and the manifested fundamental laws of the universe, some secret techniques are always difficult to comprehend."

Nine Swords Venerable laughed heartily, "That's natural, but don't worry too much about it. Every universe-level cultivator goes through this phase. You'll get used to it. The universe-level is also a period where you need to reflect. But I must remind you that while cultivation and learning are important, it's also important to hone yourself."

"Flowers grown in a greenhouse can't thrive. Remember the Trial Tower in the Genius Battle?"

Shen Ping quickly replied, "I remember."

"Some of the opponents there are alien races, and you will be fighting against them in the future. The alien races won't care about your identity, which is why there are cultivation missions at the cosmic level, arranging for you to enter some secret realms for adventure."

The Nine Swords Venerable looked at Shen Ping, "Don't take it lightly. Yes, with your understanding of the fundamental laws, plus the Beast God Fusion Law, many tasks are indeed not difficult for you, and there is no great terror between life and death. However, the purpose of cultivation tasks, besides training, is to let you adapt to various environments and deal with various crises and difficulties without protection!"

Shen Ping was taken aback, then quickly replied, "Yes, teacher, I understand!"

He certainly didn't take the cultivation mission seriously.

The rewards inside are not even as valuable as a supreme treasure; at most, they are just some inheritances and resources related to the Ancestral God Cult.

But now, after listening to his teacher's reminder, he realized that the cultivation task was indeed necessary, especially since he also needed to go to the Blood Luo World to cash in his family's rewards.

Therefore, on the same day he spoke with the Nine Swords Venerable, he went into the backend management and started applying for cultivation tasks.

The difficulty of cultivation tasks is categorized as follows: safe, normal, difficult, dangerous, and desperate.

There are five levels, with the mortality rate increasing at each level.

At the extreme level, the percentage reaches as high as 90%.

"I'll go to the Blood Luo World. Whether it's the vortex of malevolent energy in the Ancient God Ruins or the Blood Luo Crystals, they will be of great help to me, especially the malevolent energy..."

He chose the Blood Luo World without much hesitation.

Aside from monetizing it, his true purpose is the vortex of malevolent energy. His willpower and consciousness are weak points, and the vortex of malevolent energy can temper and hone his willpower and consciousness.
