Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

The living room of the villa.

The two chatted idly.

Shen Ping looked at Luo Feng and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"First complete the Demon Mountain Desperate Situation mission, then continue with the difficult-level missions, and then do the Desperate Situation missions... Master, every mission world contains some opportunities. If you can find these opportunities, you will reap great rewards, much more than just mission points."

Luo Feng took a big gulp of wine. "I was lucky enough to enter a place of inheritance in the Demon Mountain World. Unfortunately, my strength was too low to obtain the best opportunity to inherit the legacy. However, even if I had obtained a little bit, it would have been enough to benefit me immensely."

Shen Ping laughed and said, "Then you'd better be careful not to fall in there."

"Yes, don't worry. I value my life very much. Besides, with the Demon Slayer Clan clone, it will definitely be sent to dangerous places. Even if it perishes, it will only lose some energy."

The Demon Slayer Clan's clone is truly an abnormal clone. Not only does it possess the talent for replication, but it is also an energy life form, impervious to soul attacks. Even if it perishes, it can be quickly reborn by the Golden Horned Beast.

It can be said.

Luo Feng survived one tribulation after another thanks to his Demon Slayer Clan clone; otherwise, in the shortest time at the cosmic level, he would have died countless times.

"What about you, Master?"

"I?"

Shen Ping pondered for a moment and replied, "With my current level of understanding of the laws, there is no point in staying at the universe level. Therefore, I plan to break through to the domain lord level immediately, go to a universe kingdom to wield power in a region, and then try to conquer the domain lord level Tongtian Mountain, while also managing my family."

Luo Feng nodded. "Master, you really don't need to stay at the cosmic level for too long. Currently, the highest-ranking Domain Lord in the Primal Secret Realm is only at the eleventh level of the Bridge to Heaven. Even if they are hiding their abilities, they are only at the twelfth level. But you, Master, have already passed the thirteenth level in Chaos City... However, I heard that those who break through to the Domain Lord level usually return to their hometown. Don't you plan to return to the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom?"

Serving as an inspector in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom certainly has many advantages.

However, with the help of the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom and some royal families, the Shen family is developing very smoothly in the Qianwu Universe. Even if he is sent here, it will only be icing on the cake for the family. Therefore, from the beginning, Shen Ping had no intention of returning to the Qianwu Universe.

"Once you break through to the Domain Lord level, then you can be sent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. I will go to the Guting Universe Kingdom, so that the family business can span across the universe kingdoms."

Upon hearing this...

Luo Feng was astonished. "Master, you have indeed taken good care of your family. However, the company that spans across the universe only has five major powers so far. I'm afraid it will be difficult to establish others."

Shen Ping took a sip of wine. "I know. The Shen family never intended to develop into a power spanning the universe. We just want to expand some company business. I believe there won't be too many obstacles. Of course, it will definitely be very difficult. That's why I thought of going to the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom."

There are commercial barriers between the two universe nations.

Even if Shen Ping is dazzling and talented, he only represents potential. The royal families of the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom and some forces in the star field will not give Shen Ping any face. At most, they will show him a little respect because of the Nine Swords Venerable and the members of the Primal Secret Realm.

Therefore.

He wants to be transferred to another post.

Only by becoming an inspector can many things be done easily.

more importantly.

If the family wants to continue its rapid development, it must expand beyond the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Although it can grow and become stronger within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, that would inevitably affect the interests of other families and forces. The greater the output and profits, the greater the impact.

In addition to family businesses.

We also need to focus on developing our family foundation.

these years.

Progress in both areas has almost stagnated.

If it weren't for the family's prestige, Shen Ping would have had a hard time receiving family rewards, let alone making rapid progress.

The two then talked about some other things.

Shen Ping then left.

In the original story, if it weren't for Hong and Ji Qing, Luo Feng wouldn't have broken through to the Domain Lord level so quickly. He would have needed to complete some more cultivation tasks, since it's relatively easy to obtain points and items worth more than points in the cultivation world.

Consciousness disconnected.

He then began his breakthrough to the Domain Lord level. Since his clone had already reached the Domain Lord level, he encountered no bottlenecks in his breakthrough.

After the virtual universe system detected Shen Ping's breakthrough, it immediately dispatched personnel to verify it. After verification, it inquired about Shen Ping's transfer to another region.

"I want to go to the Ancient Thunder Universe Kingdom."

"Yes, we will arrange it for Your Highness immediately. It will take about one to six months, at the latest six months, but normally it will only take two months."

The envoy left after speaking.

Shen Ping did not rush to soak the nutrient tank.

Unlike Luo Feng, who had broken through to become a Domain Lord and was sent to an external location, he did not plan to go to the Ancient Thunder Universe Kingdom immediately. Instead, he planned to return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom first, and then go to the Ancient Thunder Universe Kingdom to take up his post. The round trip would take three or four years in total, and it would be best to soak in the nutrient capsule during this journey.

Soon.

The news of Shen Ping's breakthrough to the Domain Lord level spread quickly in the Primordial Region and the Primal Region.

"Damn, this freak finally broke through!"

"Our Primordial Zone and the Primal Zone's cosmic-level forces can breathe a huge sigh of relief!"

"Haha, it's time for those domain lord-level elders in the Primal Secret Realm to bear the pressure."

"That's right. Of the 10 Domain Lords in the Primal Secret Realm, only 9 have passed the tenth level, and only 1 has passed the eleventh level. As for Shen Ping, he passed the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven in Chaos City. Although he hasn't tried again in the past hundred years, his progress is probably at the level of the fourteenth level. Even if he hasn't, he is still far ahead of the Domain Lord level."

Some are happy, some are sad.

Upon learning of Shen Ping's breakthrough, the geniuses who attended the monthly exchange and discussion meetings were worried that Shen Ping would no longer hold such meetings.

Even Wuka, Rong Jun, Ai Chen, and Qian Shui hurriedly approached Luo Feng to try and get information out of him.

no way.

Having tasted the benefits of the exchange and discussion meetings, they didn't want to go back to the days of slow progress. Moreover, only by maintaining this pace of progress could they surpass those older people and go further in the future.

"Don't worry, the exchange and discussion will continue, but the frequency will be changed to once every two months."

Once a month is indeed a bit too frequent.

Breakthrough to the Domain Lord level.

He needed to spend more time studying and comprehending the fundamental laws of the universe, as well as many secret techniques. He also had to digest and absorb the sword techniques of the Venerable level of the Law Runes, and worry about managing family affairs. He simply didn't have the energy to do what he used to.

However, the exchange and discussion meeting must be held.

Only in this way can the family's prestige and influence be continuously expanded.

The mere fact that a Venerable-level sword technique manual had not yet been fully digested and absorbed caused a substantial transformation in his swordsmanship made Shen Ping extremely concerned about this matter.

I received a message from Luo Feng.

Uka Rongjun, Aichen Qianshui, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Once every two months is quite good, giving them time to digest and contemplate. In fact, many geniuses feel that once every two or three years is the best.

But they didn't know that Shen Ping wanted to maintain this influence and continue to receive family prestige rewards.

……

A pristine, hidden realm.

Luxury manor on the continent of Wuchen.

Watching the spaceship land.

After packing up, Shen Ping looked back at the vast manor and couldn't help but sigh, "Having lived here for a hundred years, it's really hard to leave."

Most members of the universe level take thousands of years to break through, so naturally they would need to stay on the Wuchen Continent for a very long time.

The stunningly beautiful immortal guardian spirit, Sparrow Spirit, smiled and said, "Your Highness is still young, so it's normal to feel a little reluctant to part. Once Your Highness becomes a Realm Lord, or even an Immortal, such feelings will be much less."

Realm lords and immortal gods sometimes stay in one place for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and after getting used to it, they will long ago become indifferent to it.

Shen Ping smiled and looked at Que Ling, saying, "I'll be relying on you from now on."

After being played externally.

The dangers faced are significantly increased, a stark contrast to the safe haven of the virtual universe company headquarters.

Moreover, given his extraordinary talent, the alien races have probably already raised him to the level of N01 for hunting.

After all, he had already conquered the thirteenth level of Chaos City, making him another peerless genius at the Kodi level.

Sparrow Spirit solemnly said, "Your Highness, this is my duty. The Venerable One sent me here to protect your safety at all times, even when you are at the Domain Lord level."

Click.

The spaceship opens.

Shen Ping glanced back at the manor one last time before entering the spaceship.

soon.

The spaceship left the primeval secret realm.

Upon arriving at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, he switched to his own mechanical immortal spaceship and began a space traversal to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"If Your Highness is in a hurry to return to your hometown, you can use the Divine Kingdom to teleport."

Even before leaving the manor.

Sparrow Spirit then explained the Divine Kingdom teleportation to him.

Shen Ping waved his hand, "No need."

He wasn't concerned about the Chaos Units consumed by the Divine Kingdom teleportation, but rather that there was no need to rush.

boom.

When we travel through space, navigating in the dark universe...

Shen Ping's consciousness connected to the virtual universe.

Next, we arrived at the exclusive dimension of the Nine Swords Venerable.

Inside the palace.

The Nine Swords Venerable, whose forehead was covered in purple scales, smiled and asked, "Disciple, have you left the Virtual Universe Company headquarters?"

"Yes, teacher."

"Well, the cosmic level is ultimately just child's play. Your comprehension of the fundamental laws has long surpassed that of the domain lords of the Primordial Secret Realm, so the domain lord level won't pose much of a challenge for you. Therefore, I hope you can conquer the domain lord level Primordial Heavenly Mountain within a hundred years. How about it? Are you confident?"

Three primordial mountains reaching the heavens: one at the cosmic level, one at the domain lord level, and one at the world lord level.

Among them, the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level is the most difficult; once one passes through it, one truly stands at the pinnacle of genius among the human race.

As for Domain Lords and Universe-level beings, they are nothing in the eyes of Nine Swords Venerable and other high-ranking members of the Virtual Universe Company. Over the endless years, there have been many geniuses who have made it through.

But to achieve that in less than two hundred years since leaving Chaos City is indeed very difficult.

This clearly demonstrates the Nine Swords Venerable's high regard and expectations for Shen Ping.

"have!"

Shen Ping answered decisively. In a hundred years, he would be able to completely digest and absorb the Venerable-level sword technique manual. Once digested, combined with his understanding of the fundamental laws and the two fundamental laws of fire and space, passing the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven would not be difficult.

Even now, he is confident that he can pass the fifteenth level with his self-created swordsmanship.

However, the sixteenth level is the immortal level of being granted the title of Marquis.

Very difficult.

He also needs time to understand and study it.

Nine Swords Venerable smiled, "Good, it's good to have confidence. I'm waiting for your good news, but I still have a few reminders for you."

"The expansion of a Domain Lord level is completely different from that of a Universe level. At that time, we will face various dangers, the greatest of which comes from alien races. They are lurking in the territory of our human race. Once exposed, they will be met with overwhelming force."

"Your talent and comprehension are exceptional, which will inevitably attract the attention of the alien races. Therefore, remember to be vigilant and careful, and always have the Sparrow Spirit protect you. Understand?"

Looking at the Nine Swords Venerable's eyes.

Shen Ping replied earnestly, "Yes, teacher."

Although he was confident in his strength, had three clones, and many life-saving trump cards from family rewards, alien assassination was unpredictable and could happen without warning. Given the opportunity, he would be facing an immortal god.

Leave your exclusive dimension.

He returned to the primitive area and devoted himself to spiritual practice.

Time slips away quietly.

Aside from the bi-monthly exchange and discussion meetings, Shen Ping devoted the rest of his energy to studying the Nine Universe Chaos Stele and "Time and Space Notes," as well as digesting and absorbing the Venerable-level sword technique manual. His main body was primarily used to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe, because through continuous family rewards, his main body possessed strong talents in various laws, making him the fastest at comprehending laws.

The World Tree clones, on the other hand, delved into secret techniques and became proficient in swordsmanship.

The remaining Frost Whale clones were used to digest and absorb the sword technique manual.

Of course, during this period.

He also visited the virtual universe branch of the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom to learn about the three giants and the operation of the virtual universe branch.

A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye during this fulfilling life of cultivation.

"Your Highness."

"We've arrived at Qiulong Star."

As the spirit of the peacock reminded me.

When Shen Ping emerged from the nutrient pod, he had already reached the ninth level of the Domain Lord level. If he were to go to the Blood Luo Continent again now and fight against those World Lords, he could easily kill a third or fourth level World Lord with a single strike.

boom.

The mechanical race's immortal spaceship traversed back to its original universe. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Qilong planet, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

They're finally back.

Two hundred years have passed since I left the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, including the thirty years of enlightenment I spent in Chaos City.

Although this period of time is insignificant, and the planet Qiulong hasn't changed at all, it's enough to witness a dramatic transformation in Earth's history, a complete change of worlds and people.

The mechanical race's spaceship landed directly above the castle.

Wow.

Put away the spaceship.

Shen Ping, Que Ling, along with ten Realm Lord Guardians recognized by the Origin Law and even hundreds of Universe-level Guardians, floated and landed on the lawn in front of the castle.

now.

Having received prior notice, a large number of Shen family members stood densely packed on the lawn. Upon seeing Shen Ping, they all bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Ancestor!"

His gaze fell on his five wives: An Xueyi, Li Yuewei, Brolin, Su Yin, and Qi Yue'er. He smiled and went to greet them, then hugged each of them.

Two hundred years.

He really missed his wives.

Although sexual intercourse is possible in the virtual universe, it's ultimately not as good as in reality. And this time, when he returns to the Ancient Ting Universe Kingdom, he will bring his wife with him. (End of Chapter)
