Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Blood Continent.

Inside the vortex pit of the ancient god's ruins, in the excavated cave.

Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

When he invited Uka and Rong Jun to join the discussion, he had a guess that the two of them might increase the family's prestige and influence, and now the family rewards he had previously received have confirmed this.

However, he did not expect that in just eleven years of exchange and discussion, Ukarongjun's progress would be so astonishing.

To know.

Luo Feng was able to improve so quickly because his comprehension and talent were extraordinary.

But Ukarongjun is different.

In the early part of the original story, the two did not make any remarkable progress. It was only when they reached the level of Domain Lord that they gradually rose to prominence.

To have achieved so much in just over a decade since leaving Chaos City is clearly a testament to the unimaginable positive impact that his understanding of the spatial essence, imparted through family rewards and combined with his own cognitive abilities regarding the spatial essence, has had on Luo Feng, Wu Ka, and Rong Jun.

at this point.

Even he himself didn't expect it.

Shen Ping originally expected that it would be quite good if Wuka Rongjun could make progress over a hundred years of accumulation, but who knew that this accumulation would be shortened so much.

"The spatial essence perception reward from the family prestige is truly remarkable. Not only does it compensate for my shortcomings in creating secret techniques, but it can also be verbally explained, influencing other geniuses!"

"And more importantly, the family's prestige is still at its peak. Once it reaches a state of prosperity and flourishing, the rewards will be absolutely terrifying!"

Thinking of this.

Even Shen Ping couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

While treasures, divine bodies, and insights into the laws are important, the application of those insights is equally crucial, especially the ability to comprehend and create, which determines whether one can reach the level of the strongest being in the universe!

after all.

From the Lord of the Universe to the strongest being in the universe, and even the True God of the Void, all need to create their own extremely powerful secret techniques. Luo Feng was able to create his own because his foundation was too solid. Not only did he have the secret pattern diagrams arranged by the Mountain Guest for reference, but he also comprehended the Star Tower. With so many opportunities combined, he was able to stand out in the Duan Donghe opportunity inheritance with ease.

Therefore, deep down, Shen Ping always lacked self-confidence. Even though the family rewards were very generous in all aspects, including many treasures, he still didn't think he could go all the way. The main reason was that, frankly speaking, treasures were just external things, and once you reached a certain level, they were of little help to you.

Even the most powerful and precious treasures are no exception.

There are many true gods in the Cosmic Sea who possess supreme power and treasures, but can they break through to become true gods of the void and transcend reincarnation?

No!

Now, there are rewards based on family prestige.

He suddenly felt incredibly confident, the confidence to climb to the top!

"Industry, reputation, population and offspring, foundation, prestige... these are the five main directions. From now on, we will focus on prestige as the primary development direction, with the other directions as secondary!"

This moment.

Shen Ping made a decision in his heart.

Suppress your thoughts.

His consciousness entered the virtual universe.

They just appeared in the manor.

The AI ​​assistant quickly replied, "Master, you have 317 emails and 124 phone calls requested!"

Upon hearing this...

Shen Ping smiled wryly, thinking to himself that the impact of his discussion and exchange meeting had probably already spread quietly, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a big reaction.

I glanced at it.

He first connected with his master, the Nine Swords Venerable.

"My disciple, you have truly impressed many people this time, even I am astonished!"

Nine Swords Venerable laughed heartily. He knew that Shen Ping had discussed this matter, but he hadn't taken it to heart. As a result, now Wu Ka Rong Jun had crossed the Tongtian Bridge one after another, and many other venerables, including those who had been granted the title of Immortal King, sought answers, or offered congratulations, had come to him.

This made him proud.

Even though all of this originated from his disciple, as a cosmic venerable one, what he cares about most is not life, nor his own strength, but glory and face.

"Tell me about it."

"Nauka, is Rong Jun's matter really related to you?"

When the Nine Swords Venerable asked this question, his eyes sparkled.

His disciple is indeed an unparalleled genius in terms of the fundamental laws, comparable to or even surpassing Kodi in his time. As long as he doesn't perish along the way, he has a good chance of becoming a Venerable in the future. However, there are quite a few such geniuses among the human race.

However, it is still unique that someone can communicate and influence other geniuses at the cosmic level based on their own understanding and perception of the laws.

If the facts are true.

That would mean something completely different.

Why are human races so powerful?

It's not because of the existence of a virtual universe, nor because there was once a progenitor who could overwhelm the strongest beings in other universes.

The truly powerful internal factor is a complete training model that continuously cultivates successors and produces strong individuals.

The Primordial Ancestor nurtured the Chaos City Lord and taught the Giant Axe. The Chaos City Lord, the Giant Axe, and others also nurtured many outstanding disciples. This virtuous cycle eventually led to the creation of 52 Chaos Steles in the initial universe, enabling the human race to continuously produce geniuses and powerful individuals, thus strengthening the human race's foundation and making it stronger.

Finally, they transformed from a powerful race into a pinnacle race.

Therefore, if Shen Ping has a unique talent in teaching, it would be even more valued by the higher-ups of the Virtual Universe Company than his own talent in laws.

No matter how strong one person is, they can't beat a group of people.

Of course.

Shen Ping is only at the Universe level. Even if he truly has talent in this area, he won't attract much attention. After all, in the vast universe, there are many Universe-level experts who can teach and guide other Universe-level experts. Besides, Chaos City alone has many King-level Immortals who can establish their own sects and have a large number of disciples under their tutelage.

Therefore, all the cosmic venerables, including the Nine Swords Venerable, are currently only interested in and curious about this matter.

Shen Ping did not hide anything and said truthfully, "Teacher, I do have some insights into the nature of space. I usually discuss and exchange ideas with Wuka and Rong Jun, which often helps them to understand. I also have some insights myself. As for why Wuka and Rong Jun have made such rapid progress, it is mainly due to their own efforts."

Hear this.

Nine Swords Venerable laughed heartily, "Alright, you don't need to be modest. Uka Rongjun's talent is indeed quite good, but he's not strong enough to have made such progress in just over ten years since he left Chaos City. Since he was really influenced by you, it means you also have talent in this area."

"If it doesn't hinder your own comprehension, your teacher, and other venerable beings of the universe, hope you can help the other geniuses of your generation as much as possible!"

Speaking of which...

His expression turned serious. "I'm not saying this to force you to help. Those cosmic rulers actually want to see if you can really have that much influence."

Shen Ping's expression shifted slightly. He had originally planned to invite more geniuses to join the discussion once its influence expanded, which would allow the family's prestige to develop more rapidly. He never expected that the Nine Swords Venerable would personally bring up this matter with him.

Without hesitation, he quickly replied, "Teacher, I am willing. Exchanging ideas and discussing them would also benefit me. If it could benefit more geniuses, it would be my honor. However, I currently have some understanding of space, but as for time, I don't really have much insight into it."

The Nine Swords Venerable chuckled, "Your achievements in spatial manipulation are already quite remarkable. Why would you expect time to change things? Alright, there's no need to take this matter too seriously. Ultimately, you must focus on your own cultivation. My disciple, do you understand?"

"Disciple understands!"

After giving a few instructions, before hanging up, the Nine Swords Venerable said, "If you have any further questions, feel free to come to my palace, especially regarding the fusion of laws. Don't feel like you're disturbing me!"

"Yes, teacher!"

End communication.

Shen Ping quickly replied to the emails from those cosmic rulers and those who had been granted the title of immortal king.

After doing all this.

He then continued to study the secret methods that aided his spiritual practice, such as his "Notes on Time and Space".

……

Primordial District.

Inside the manor.

With her flowing green hair, patterned face, and delicate, almost fragile appearance, Qian Shui was on the phone with her teacher. "Teacher, do you mean that Wu Ka Rong Jun's progress is related to Shen Ping?"

His teacher nodded, "That's right, this matter has been confirmed. From now on, you will also have to join the discussion and exchange meeting at the fixed time every month. You are all members of this year's genius group, so you should exchange ideas and make progress together. Don't keep your insights and experiences to yourself."

Suppressing her shock, Qian Shui hurriedly said, "Yes, teacher, but... but won't this affect Shen Ping's cultivation?"

Her teacher laughed, "I'm very pleased that you think that way. Don't worry, the Nine Swords Venerable has already agreed to this matter. As Shen Ping's teacher, he wouldn't harm his disciple, so you can join without worry."

"Actually, I'm also very curious about how Shen Ping, a cosmic-level expert, could influence Uka and Rong Jun. Once you join the discussion, I believe you'll find the answer. Besides, in your year, Shen Ping and Bolan are a given, but Luo Feng, Uka, and Rong Jun were about your level back in the finals, neck and neck. But now, they've left you far behind. If you don't work hard to catch up, I'm afraid the gap will only widen, and in the future, you'll only be able to look up to them!"

Qian Shui felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Yes.

She had only passed the third level of the Sky Bridge in Chaos City, just like Uka. But now, Uka has passed the fourth and fifth levels in a row.

This widened the gap significantly. As for Rong Jun, he even reached the sixth level, and Luo Feng reached the seventh level... The difference between the third and seventh levels was almost the same as when they participated in the Genius Battle and were separated from Shen Ping and Bo Lan!

Thinking about these things.

Qian Shui felt an increasing sense of urgency.

"Teacher, I understand. I will definitely have a serious discussion and exchange at that time."

As a genius, and a dazzling genius selected from the Genius Battle to enter the Primordial Zone, Qian Shui was unwilling to be left behind by other geniuses.

Almost simultaneously.

Jiang Mo, Galesi, Tao, and other outstanding space-related geniuses all received invitations.

Five days later.

Yuxiangshan Public Area.

It's still that pavilion-like building, similar to those in the gardens of Jiangnan on Earth.

But the difference is that there are several more geniuses.

Qian Shui, Jiang Mo, Jia Laixi, Long Yun, Bo Lan, Tao, Wu Ka, Rong Jun, Luo Feng... As for Ai Chen and Lan Si Luo from the Tai Chu District, they could only regretfully miss out because they were not space-type.

"Uka, Rong Jun, you two are so unfair! How come you've improved so quickly!"

Compared to Tao, Galesi and other geniuses.

Jiang Mo and Wu Ka Rong Jun have a good relationship. They are both from the Tai Chu District and have had small gatherings in Chaos City two or three times. They have also gathered with Shen Ping and Luo Feng, so they don't need to be so reserved and polite when they talk.

Uka grinned. "Jiang Mo, this isn't my fault. Who told you not to work hard? Now you've fallen far behind me and Rong Jun. Do you finally know how to work hard?"

Jiang Mo was speechless. "You're really annoying. If it weren't for Shen Ping, could you have been this fast?"

Uka said smugly, "Anyway, I've surpassed you now. Keep up the good work, and I'm sure you'll catch up eventually!"

He looked like an old man, then clutched his stomach and laughed.

Shen Ping, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun also laughed.

The atmosphere in the pavilion immediately became harmonious.

That sense of restraint and unfamiliarity disappeared.

After all, they are both geniuses of the same level. Although there is a gap between them now, it is not to the point that they look down on each other.

"Damn it, Uka, you prince, don't get too cocky. Just wait, I've joined the discussion now, and I'll catch up with and surpass you sooner or later!"

Jiang Mo said irritably.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group officially began their discussion.

As Shen Ping explained the profound meaning of his understanding of the essence of space, Long Yun, Jiang Mo, and even Bo Lan all gained a new understanding. Although it wasn't exactly shocking, it was like a sudden enlightenment, just like Luo Feng's experience.

The greatest fear in comprehending the fundamental laws and understanding the Chaos Monument is the lack of new insights, being confined to existing ways of thinking, and thus falling into a bottleneck and stagnating.

Now, Shen Ping is using the spatial essence cognition ability rewarded by the family to bring a different perspective to this group of geniuses.

simply put.

Cognitive abilities tend to evolve from their origins.

It is equivalent to the foundation of the Law Patterns in the Broken East River lineage.

This level is very high.

Universe-level geniuses like Wu Ka, Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Long Yun would certainly find it very beneficial.

So to some extent...

It wasn't that Shen Ping made Luo Feng and Wu Ka progress so quickly, but rather that through this exchange and discussion, he directly inspired their comprehension and thinking abilities, essentially unlocking their deepest potential.

Soon.

The discussion and exchange session has now concluded.

Qian Shui, Jiang Mo, and Bo Lan were all still eager for more.

"Alright, from now on, whenever we have time, we'll discuss this here in the pavilion at this fixed time every month."

Done.

Before Bolan, Qianshui, and Jiangmo could express their gratitude, Shen Ping's consciousness severed the connection to the virtual universe, and his body vanished.

Luo Feng, Wu Karong, and Jun were not surprised and chuckled as they left one after another.

Sitting in his seat, Long Yun couldn't help but murmur, "This is too shocking. We're both geniuses, but Shen Ping's understanding of the fundamental laws of space far surpasses ours. They're not even on the same level!"

Following this exchange and discussion...

Even Bolan felt an indescribable reverence for Shen Ping. (End of Chapter)
