Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

At the same time.

Inside the palace of the Phantom King.

As a member of the Chimei clan, the Illusionary Spirit King has purple eyes, purple hair, and a fluffy purple tail. She looks cold yet exudes endless allure. The Chimei clan is naturally skilled in seduction, and each of them possesses a natural charm. Those with weak wills and minds will be easily bewitched and become their captivators.

Wow.

Inside the quiet hall on the seventh floor of the palace, the space suddenly seemed to freeze.

All the demons' pupils contracted, feeling an immense pressure emanating from them.

The Phantom Spirit King, who was lazily sitting on the throne, suddenly stood up and respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Master."

Venerable Huanyin laughed and said, "Disciple, you have made some progress over the years, but if you want to break through to the Venerable level, you still need to improve in the fundamental laws of space. Otherwise, you will forever remain at the level of King Immortal."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Phantom King is extremely powerful.

She also controls two Immortal Kings under her command, whose status is comparable to that of True King Yan. However, when it comes to the potential to break through to the Venerable level, Illusionary King is definitely at the bottom. Although she is proficient in illusion techniques, her talent in the fundamental laws of space is really average.

The Illusionary Spirit King felt rather helpless. "Master, you've brought this up again. I know I'm not perfect in terms of the laws, but how easy is it to break through to the Venerable level? How many of our Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and other major powers, are stuck at the King level?"

Venerable Huanyin shook his head slightly, "Even so, you should still put in more effort."

The title of "Venerable One" is indeed an extremely high threshold.

It has stumped countless brilliant geniuses.

However, once someone becomes a Venerable One, they are considered a pillar of the human race and belong to the upper echelons, enabling them to participate in the highest-level meetings of the human race.

"This disciple understands."

The Phantom King changed the subject, asking, "Why has Master come to see me? Is there something you need?"

"There is indeed one thing."

"Please speak, Master."

"Do you have a disciple named Ji Qing among your ranks?"

"Yes, how did Master know?"

The Phantom King asked, puzzled.

Venerable Huanyin briefly explained the matter.

This surprised the Illusionary Spirit King even more. "Master, I've investigated Hong's background. He's just an outer member of the Giant Axe Arena, not even in the core level. How could he have alarmed you, Master?"

Venerable Huanyin sighed, "You only know one side of the story. Luckily, I knew about this matter, otherwise, given your personality, you certainly wouldn't have agreed to it, and who knows what kind of trouble it would have caused?"

King Huanyin was startled. "Master, please speak."

The fact that Venerable Huanyin could speak of the cause of this trouble shows that this matter involves a great deal of complexity.

"That Hong's background is correct, but what you don't know is that he has two fellow townsmen who participated in the Genius Battle hundreds of years ago: one named Shen Ping, and the other named Luo Feng!"

The Illusionary Spirit King hurriedly spared a sliver of energy to investigate, only to have his purple eyes widen in shock. "What?! Shen Ping and Luo Feng, one of them passed the thirteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, and the other passed the seventh level, and both are members of the Primal Secret Realm?!"

"They...they're from the same hometown?"

She was truly astonished.

It's simply unbelievable that two extraordinary geniuses could emerge from the same place.

Moreover, Luo Feng is alright.

But Shen Ping is too monstrous, a peerless genius at the level of a kodi. Most importantly, Shen Ping's master is the Nine Swords Venerable.

At this moment.

The Illusionary Spirit King finally understood. "Master, is it the Nine Swords Venerable who is looking for you?"

"right."

"This, this is just a small matter, yet the Nine Swords Venerable personally sought you out?"

Looking at his most outstanding disciple, Venerable Huanyin said, "You only know that Shen Ping has passed the thirteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge and the cosmic-level Tongtian Mountain, but you don't know that he not only has excellent talent in the laws, but he can also guide other geniuses through discussions and exchanges. The members of the Primordial Zone who are in the same year as him are now basically at the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge, and he is the one who brought them."

"Now you understand what the calamity I was referring to is, right?"

The Phantom King was immediately jolted awake.

Although Shen Ping was excellent and had a Venerable teacher, she didn't think much of it. After all, she also had a master. But the fact that he could influence other geniuses meant that his potential was extraordinary. If he could influence at the cosmic level, what about in the future? Domain Lord level, World Lord level, and even Immortal level!

At that time, Shen Ping will not only represent himself, but a group of geniuses and the connections between their masters and their families!

Yes.

She is very strong.

But so what?

Even when faced with a large group of immortal kings, she had to bow her head.

Moreover, this matter might implicate his master.

Thinking of this.

She hurriedly said, "Thank you for reminding me, Master. I almost caused a disaster."

Don't underestimate this seemingly minor issue of feelings between fellow villagers. What if Shen Ping is a petty person? He might hold a grudge against you.

Venerable Huanyin said, "It's good that you can understand. The reason I came here is to persuade you not to interfere with Ji Qing and Hong's relationship. Yes, I know that our lineage has special requirements for its cultivation techniques, especially your self-created secret technique, which has even higher requirements. You can bring it up, but don't hold back. If Hong is willing to wait, then you should grant their wish."

"Besides, this matter isn't entirely a bad thing. The Nine Swords Venerable has come to visit in person, so I should give him face. However, he has also made some requests. You can send one of your best disciples to attend the exchange and discussion meeting as an observer, as well as Ji Qing. I believe their progress in the Origin Law will surpass that of your other disciples."

The Phantom King's eyes lit up immediately. "Master, then, did Shen Ping's discussion meeting really work?"

"Whether it works or not can be seen from the Law comprehension of those new members in the Primordial Zone. Moreover, do you know how many Venerables and Kings from the five major powers want to place their people in their positions, but they have all been rejected? It is only by chance that your master was able to secure two spots for you."

Venerable Huanyin continued, "Furthermore, given Ji Qing and Hong's relationship, the number of slots might be expanded in the future. Then you won't need to worry about the comprehension of the fundamental laws under your command!"

The Phantom King's breathing became rapid.

The entire hall seemed to be immersed in endless love.

If his disciples can keep up with his understanding of the laws, their future achievements will all be extraordinary.

"Disciple understands!"

As Venerable Huanyin departed.

The oppressive aura in the entire hall vanished.

A smile appeared on the lips of the Illusionary Spirit King. "Bring Ji Qing here."

……

Heilongshan Island.

Inside Jiuxingwan residential community.

Thor, being rather impatient, asked, "Shen Ping, what's the situation?!"

Luo Feng and Hong also looked at Shen Ping.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, my master personally went to see the master of the Illusionary Spirit King, and I believe the matter will be resolved soon."

Luo Feng asked in surprise, "The Nine Swords Venerable went in person?"

"right."

Thor laughed heartily, "Shen Ping, you're really something else."

Hong laughed, and just as he was about to speak, he received an email from Ji Qing. He looked delighted and said, "Shen Ping, thank you for this. Ji Qing just sent an email. She has regained her freedom and can meet with me. However, the Illusionary Spirit King has set a condition: she hopes I will come over."

Luo Feng asked nervously, "To see the Illusion King?"

Hong waved his hand, "Don't worry, with Shen Ping's master stepping in, I believe that Illusion King won't do anything to me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to release Ji Qing. I guess she just doesn't want to lose face."

Shen Ping wasn't worried. With his master stepping in, the Illusionary Spirit King wouldn't be able to put on airs. A Universe Venerable was not someone anyone dared to disobey.

"Hong, we'll go with you."

"Okay, with the two of you here, I'm even less afraid."

soon.

The three arrived at a colossal palace that was tens of thousands of miles high.

They met the Phantom King.

It must be said that the natural aura of love emanating from them can truly stir the impulses in people's hearts. However, Luo Feng and Hong are both people with firm wills, and Shen Ping has also experienced the tempering of the Blood Luo World's evil energy vortex. In addition, he has absorbed and digested the Venerable-level sword technique manual, so he will not be easily affected by this.

We chatted for a few minutes.

It returned to the original conditions.

The Phantom King gave Hong a choice, but unlike the others, he didn't say he would kill Hong. He only said that if Hong failed to complete the task, he would prevent them from meeting.

Hong directly chose to enter the eighteenth layer of illusionary world.

After it ended.

The Phantom King looked at Hong with a higher opinion.

A short while later.

Hong and Ji Qing met.

"I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."

With tears streaming down her face, Ji Qing said that in the original story, the Illusionary Spirit King used some means to make Ji Qing ultimately choose to break up. Cultivation techniques do not allow one to break their body, but after becoming immortal, one is completely condensed with divine power, and every wisp of soul is integrated with immortal divine power, so of course there are not so many restrictions.

Moreover.

Even if we can't be together, at least we can love each other. After all, we're pursuing pure love. We can stay together after we've achieved something, right? Why choose to separate? Does inheriting a legacy mean we can't even have love to express?!

If talking about love would have an impact, Ji Qing would have been expelled from the sect by the Illusionary Spirit King long ago, instead of being asked whether she had lost her virginity.

Hong was not a lecherous person like Shen Ping. As the saying goes, love only grows stronger when it is deep, and persisting until immortality was no problem for him.

Ji Qing was initially worried, since it takes a very long time to go from the cosmic level to immortality, and how could a man endure that?

"Isn't there a virtual universe? Your master said that your body must not be tainted by other energies, as it would affect the inheritance, but the virtual universe will not."

Ji Qing was taken aback. "It seems so."

The illusionary arts inherently require the performance of various forms of sexual intercourse between men and women. If one does not understand these arts, how can one perform them more realistically while maintaining one's chastity? This is the greatest challenge. However, in the virtual universe, one can experience these pleasures without breaking the vow.

"Let me ask my master."

She ran to ask the Phantom King.

The Illusionary King's face darkened. He wanted to say no, but considering that he might still need this disciple to increase the number of places in the future, he could only patiently say, "It's not impossible, but it will still have an impact. So you must promise your master that even if you do it, it will only be occasionally in the virtual universe. You must not get too immersed in it and let it affect your own cultivation."

"Yes, Master."

Ji Qing was secretly delighted.

And that's how the matter was resolved.

Inside the pavilion.

Hong gritted his teeth and bought a considerable amount of expensive wine for his guests.

The saying "you can't have your cake and eat it too" mainly comes down to a matter of strength.

After drinking.

Shen Ping and Luo Feng returned to the primitive area.

The two then sat down together for a chat.

Luo Feng said with emotion, "Master, we owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, Hong's matter would not have been resolved so easily. I was originally planning to break through to the Domain Lord level and be sent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Shen Ping smiled and said, "This matter doesn't matter. With your current understanding of the laws, there's really no need for you to stay at the cosmic level."

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, it's really unnecessary. But a universe-level mission can still be used for some cultivation tasks. As you know, the Blood Crystal of the Blood Luo World contains the essence of the Beast God. During the qualification battle, I also obtained a treasure by chance in Demon Mountain and gained a huge improvement. Almost every other mission world has great opportunities."

"Not to mention the number one ranked Purgatory Abyss, I have the Demon Slayer Clan and the Golden Horned Beast clone. I can send the Demon Slayer Clan to dangerous places, so I'm not willing to give up."

Shen Ping advised, "Luo Feng, there are countless opportunities in the universe. Why do you have to search for them in the cultivation world? The death rate in the Purgatory Abyss is extremely high. There's no need to take the risk. And to put it bluntly, whether it's the Demon Mountain you've been to or the Purgatory Abyss, you may think they are great opportunities and secrets, but in my eyes, they are not worth mentioning."

These words were spoken.

Luo Feng was stunned. Even Babata, who was about to speak, blinked. Wasn't this a bit too arrogant? Not to mention the Blood Luo World, even the inheritance of the Demon Sound God General of Demon Mountain was something they wanted, even for the title of King Immortal.

Seeing Luo Feng's expression.

Shen Ping laughed, "What secret is Demon Mountain? The inheritance of the 32 Demon Sound Gods is actually one with the inheritance of the Frost God."

Luo Feng looked at Shen Ping in surprise.

It's normal for his teacher, King Zhenyan, to know, after all, he's a king. But Shen Ping clearly had never been there, yet he knew the secret of Demon Mountain.

Babata was also surprised.

Shen Ping continued, "Luo Feng, you should also know that I have my own opportunities, and the so-called inheritance of the Demonic Sound God General is a great opportunity in your eyes, right? But this inheritance of the God General has flaws. Once you accept the inheritance and become a candidate God General, there is a limit to the future when you receive the complete inheritance, and you will never be able to break through this limit in your lifetime."

Luo Feng's eyes widened. "What? There's such a flaw? Then why are so many people vying for a spot to be crowned king?"

"The difference in combat power between the Kings is also very large. Your teacher is invincible below the Universe Venerable, which other Kings cannot achieve, but by receiving the inheritance of a Divine General, it is possible to reach that level."

"Of course, for you right now, this kind of opportunity is indeed quite significant, including the Abyss of Purgatory, but at most, such opportunities are only at the Venerable level."

Shen Ping said softly, "Cosmic Venerables are very strong, but there are many more above them, so it's not worth taking such a big risk for such a small inheritance and opportunity."

Babata remained silent.

It knew that Shen Ping had the confidence to say those words.

I ended my chat with Shen Ping.

Luo Feng fell into deep thought.

Babata then said, "Luo Feng, I think your master is right. There's really no need to go to the Purgatory Abyss. The death rate is high, and you can only get a million points at most. You might get something more valuable there, but it won't mean much to you." (End of Chapter)
