Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Few can spar with Shen Ping, mainly because the gap is too large. Even the universe-level geniuses of the Primordial Region can't break through the Heavenly Mountain. Sparring with Shen Ping is purely discouraging. But even so, there are still many geniuses who want to see Shen Ping's swordsmanship.

Especially Luo Feng.

Since he began studying the Beast God statue, he has come to understand more and more how terrifying the laws contained in Shen Ping's sword technique are, and naturally he wants to see and experience the power of the fusion of laws.

However, I haven't been able to find an opportunity yet.

Inside the pavilion.

Hong laughed and said, "Only those who are obsessed can achieve something. Lei Zi, you should learn more from Luo Feng. At least in this cultivation path, you are not as good as him."

Thor rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Big brother, you're the one who's talking. You're almost at the core of the Giant Axe Arena yourself, and you've already found someone you like."

Luo Feng blinked and looked at Hong, "Brother Hong, do you have someone you like?"

Shen Ping couldn't help but ask, "I heard Thor mention this last time, Hong, have you really fallen for that girl at the Giant Axe Arena?"

"right."

Hong nodded gently, sipping his wine, and said, "Her name is Ji Qing. We get along very well. I've truly invested my feelings in her this time. The universe is vast and boundless. If I could have a girl by my side, perhaps there would be even more wonderful things to come."

Shen Ping, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng were all stunned.

Yes.

While the purpose of cultivation is to become stronger, to climb to higher peaks, and to witness more wonders, this path becomes even more meaningful if one has a confidant by one's side and someone in one's heart to protect.

They could all sense the longing and determination in Hong's voice when he said those words.

Even Shen Ping was somewhat affected.

The universe is indeed vast.

Time is endless and long. Talking about feelings in such a long period of time is complete nonsense, since even the deepest feelings will fade away with time.

But to be honest...

Is that love?

In Hong's eyes, it's probably not the case.

Among them, Hong has the strongest mindset. He is all-encompassing, embracing heaven and earth, and his heart is infinitely large, so he can accommodate everything. It is impossible for him not to see what love is. He has long since reached the level of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.

But he still fell in love with Ji Qing.

Clearly, there was something about Ji Qing that made him feel comfortable.

Shen Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Hong, what is Ji Qing's family background? If one day in the future her family tries to stop you from being together, although it sounds melodramatic, how would you deal with it if it happened?"

Hong laughed and said, "The obstruction is only temporary. No matter what happens, I believe she has her own reasons. If it really happens, I would like to know her thoughts."

Shen Ping continued, "What would you do if she gave up your relationship for some resources?"

Luo Feng and Lei Shen both looked at Hong.

At their level, they naturally understood what Shen Ping meant.

In reality, many people find it difficult to overcome this kind of ordeal.

After all, everyone has different pursuits.

Just like Hong himself.

If a cosmic ruler were to accept him as a disciple on the condition that he give up his relationship with Ji Qing, what would Hong do?

Hong did not answer immediately.

Instead, she thought about the problem seriously for a moment before looking at Shen Ping and slowly saying, "No matter what choice she makes, I will understand. But once something like this happens, it means that things can't continue. Even if I understand, it's not truly pure."

"Impure things will be worn away over time; they cannot last."

Shen Ping was just about to continue speaking.

Hong shook his head and interrupted, "Shen Ping, I know what you mean. Some things don't need to be forced. At least for now, I get along very well with her, and there's nothing between us. Maybe there will be misunderstandings in the future, but that's in the future."

Thor smirked. "Dude, when did you become a Casanova? You might as well learn from Shen Ping and become a charming rogue."

Hong smiled but remained silent.

Shen Ping, however, feigned profundity and said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"

Hong was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Yes, Shen Ping understands me best. Come on, have a drink."

Luo Feng and Thor also laughed.

After drinking.

They chatted for a while longer.

The group then arrived at the killing field inside Black Dragon Mountain Island.

The backdrop remains the same: a sea of ​​blood.

However, their status is now completely different from when they first arrived. Even the lowest-ranking Thor has a high status and position in the Qianwu Dojo.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses."

When the green-skinned old man, Manluo, saw Shen Ping and Luo Feng, his cloudy eyes lit up, and he quickly came over and bowed respectfully.

Shen Ping waved his hand, "Lady Manluo, there's no need for that."

Manlu smiled and said, "You guys haven't been here in a long time. But Thor comes here often and he's making good progress."

Since investing in Shen Ping, his status in the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company has risen dramatically. Especially after Shen Ping became a disciple of the Nine Swords Venerable, the senior management of the Qianwu branch contacted Manluo and allocated some resources to him.

This single transaction benefited Manluo immensely.

He was now incredibly grateful that he had listened to the words of the Flame Lord Anmunz.

Thor quipped, "They're all very busy people, they wouldn't come to a place like this."

"Alright, stop joking around. Let's go to the final battle arena."

brush.

The four of them appeared together in the arena space.

An endless, vast grassland.

It has a black arena.

Shen Ping and Luo Feng walked onto the arena one after the other, while Lei Shen and Hong watched from the side.

"Luo Feng, I will use my comprehension level from the eighth level of the Tongtian Bridge to fight and spar with you. You should take this opportunity to learn from it."

He is now qualified enough to say such things.

After all, having digested a portion of the sword technique manual of the Venerable level of the Law Runes, his skill in swordsmanship was extremely high.

Normally, those at the cosmic level learn the secret techniques of others and then apply what they have comprehended to the fundamental laws of the universe. Some exceptional individuals, like Rong Jun, can even create their own secret techniques to achieve maximum power. This is also true of Moro from the Primal Secret Realm, who created his own Beast Fist.

However, most universe-level beings don't even have a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, so creating their own secret techniques would be a joke. Therefore, generally speaking, it is only at the realm lord level, after having a full understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, that they create their own secret techniques. After becoming immortal, they basically all create their own secret techniques.

But this doesn't mean that beings at the cosmic level can't create their own secret techniques.

Chi Chi.

The instant he wielded the Flame God Blade.

Shen Ping's entire demeanor changed, as if he were a master swordsman who had been wielding the blade for many years. He easily twirled the blade, and the shadows of the blades converged, emitting a trembling sound. "I will use two blades that I created myself later."

Luo Feng nodded.

boom!

soon.

The two then moved.

The entire arena was filled with illusions.

In this encounter, Luo Feng did not use his divine weapon, but instead used a martial artist.

Hong and Thor, standing nearby, watched with shining eyes.

The sheer number of these illusory bodies was enough to amaze them. Although they were geniuses of the Time-based Laws, they could still see from the illusory bodies how profound Luo Feng and Shen Ping's understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe was.

laugh.

A flurry of flashing blades followed.

In just a moment.

Luo Feng's ghostly illusion shattered inch by inch, leaving only his true body wielding the Seven Deadly Blades of Shadow, striking one of the illusions.

clang!

Swords clashed.

The illusory figures around Shen Ping disappeared one by one, but the light of the sword became even more dazzling.

Luo Feng soon saw the boundless sea, and could clearly hear the sound of the tide. The rolling waves surged and rolled, and above the waves, a bright moon was slowly rising.

Unlike before.

The profound and mysterious cosmic fundamental law that this strike has generated is almost solidified. Anyone whose cosmic fundamental law is inferior to Shen Ping's will be affected and fall into an illusion.

Although this comprehension of the laws only occurred on the eighth level of the Sky Bridge.

The profound artistic conception enhanced by the sword technique still affected Luo Feng.

However, Luo Feng, with his strong will and consciousness, instantly broke free from the profound realm of artistic conception and hurriedly used his spatial movement technique to separate himself from Shen Ping.

After creating distance.

He was utterly shocked. "The master's swordsmanship is too exquisite, too powerful. We're both at the same level of understanding the laws of the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven, yet he can influence my consciousness. And this is only the first strike!"

Face Shen Ping.

Only then can one truly feel the immense pressure brought by the strongest genius who has conquered Tongtian Mountain.

boom.

The two clashed again.

This time, however, Luo Feng felt not the ocean tide, but the desolate desert. The scorching sun on the desert, though intensely hot, seemed so lonely, stirring his emotions.

When you break free from the profound and mysterious artistic conception.

The sword was already at his neck.

End of the match.

The four returned to the killing field hall.

While drinking a beverage.

Shen Ping, Hong, and Lei Shen did not disturb Luo Feng, who was engrossed in the battle.

moment.

Luo Feng finally came to his senses, took a sip of his drink, and exclaimed, "Master, how exactly does your swordsmanship produce that illusion-like attack effect?"

Shen Ping smiled and asked, "What were your feelings when you viewed the Chaos Stele in Chaos City?"

"Very mysterious."

"Those raindrops seem to be imprinted in my mind, easily triggering my thoughts, and then the profound artistic conception evolves into the sword technique I want to see."

As he spoke, Luo Feng's eyes widened. "Master, you, you..."

Shen Ping waved his hand and chuckled, "I can't do that yet. It's just that my swordsmanship is similar to the raindrop and fine rain paintings on the Chaos Stele. In fact, whether it's swordsmanship or the artistic conception of raindrops, they are both interpreting the fundamental laws of the universe. The difference is just the perspective."

"Think about it carefully. Don't you notice that the sword light I unleash has many variations? This is actually the degree to which the creation of space evolves into various cosmic fundamental laws. The claw technique you use is the same. Don't be limited by anything."

"Even if you only comprehend the two fundamental laws of gold and emptiness, your claw technique can still evolve into different realms of meaning, not just the Beast God realm."

The best approach is to imitate the artistic conception of a small beast god statue, as it represents the law of fusion and the laws governing the universe. However, that is only the most basic approach.

Seeing that Luo Feng was still pondering, Shen Ping continued, "Knife techniques are also claw techniques, and claw techniques are also knife techniques. All things are interconnected, and the most fundamental thing is still the original law of the universe."

Thor shook his head helplessly, "Shen Ping, what you're saying is too esoteric; I can't understand it at all."

Hong sipped his drink: "It's understandable that you don't understand, but I can sense that what Shen Ping said is very true. It's a pity that our understanding of the laws is still very low, and it's difficult for us to grasp the essence of it."

……

The battle for spots in the Primal Secret Realm has begun.

The three who emerged victorious from the Primordial District—Krov, Luo Feng, and another—need to fight against the three who were lagging behind from the Primal District: Bolan, Long Yun, and Moro. Krov was naturally the strongest, followed by Luo Feng. Bolan, aside from losing to Luo Feng and Krov, won against the others.

However, while Luo Feng was fighting Crove, Crove did not appear for a long time. Finally, the Virtual Universe Company issued a notice, and many geniuses realized that Crove was still in the extreme mission world. He must have met with an accident and perished. Otherwise, he would not have failed to appear in the qualification battle for the spot.

Luo Feng is also in the Desperate Demon Mountain World.

However, he was safe inside the Temple of Demonic Sound.

But Crove is different. Even though he is a cosmic-level being and very strong, in the world of extreme missions, cosmic-level is just the lowest level, and the mortality rate of extreme missions is extremely high. Countless geniuses have perished in them.

Krov can only be considered one of these fallen geniuses.

Although the most exciting battle did not come.

However, Luo Feng remains a true member of the original secret realm, without any controversy. As for Bo Lan, many geniuses say he is just lucky.

A bar in the public area of ​​Yuxiang Mountain.

The wealthy and powerful Prince Mankaxing booked an entire area of ​​the bar, mainly to celebrate Luo Feng becoming a member of the Primal Secret Realm, and also to hold a farewell banquet for him as he left.

"Luo Feng, you charged into the Primal Secret Realm on your very first try! You're truly a role model for us newcomers! Just wait, we'll catch up and surpass you!"

Ukarongjun and the others said with a smile.

Their progress is not slow. Although they cannot compare to Luo Feng, as long as they continue, they will keep moving forward. More importantly, they are able to participate in exchange and discussion meetings.

Shen Ping laughed and said, "Luo Feng, judging from your expression, you're still puzzled by the battle with Krov. Even if you failed, you're still a member of the Primal Secret Realm."

Luo Feng nodded, "I know, but I still feel a little regretful that I didn't get to fight Krov."

Uka curled his lip. "What's there to regret? That Croft was on a critical mission. The virtual universe system even issued a notification. He must have perished."

Rong Jun also said, "A desperate mission is extremely dangerous, but Luo Feng, you are also in a desperate mission world, so you have to be careful."

"There were rumors before that you had perished."

Qian Shui said, "Yes, among us, only you, Luo Feng, dare to take on the extreme level mission. At most, we dare to take on the difficult level mission."

Luo Feng quickly replied, "I also found a suitable level of power for myself, but I almost perished."

The group chatted for a long time before parting ways.

Luo Feng also arrived at the primitive area, where he met Shen Ping.

"Haha, Luo Feng, you've finally arrived! From now on, we can meet more often in the manor without having to go to the public areas."

After settling in.

Shen Ping went to Luo Feng's manor for drinks. (End of Chapter)
