Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Looking at the silver-haired man with graying temples and a sword on his back, Shen Ping didn't even dare to look him in the eye. Although this was a virtual universe, even if he tried his best to suppress his consciousness and will, he could still feel the terrifying pressure.

"Shen Ping greets the Lord of Ice Peak."

He bowed respectfully.

Among the cosmic lords of the virtual universe lineage, the Ice Peak Lord is a super strong close-combat expert, even surpassing the Flame Emperor in close-quarters combat.

The Ice Peak Lord, whose body was icy cold and whose eyes were indifferent, looked at Shen Ping and became unusually gentle. "Shen Ping, I rarely take on disciples. To date, I only have 13 personal disciples under my command, all of whom are Universe Venerables. I originally did not plan to send an email to Nine Swords, but due to some factors, I ultimately made this decision."

"Therefore, you will be the weakest disciple I have ever taken in."

Shen Ping hadn't expected the Ice Peak Lord to be so direct, and immediately bowed again, "Disciple greets Master!"

Bingfeng smiled slightly. "I'm not good at teaching disciples, nor am I good at dealing with people. But since you've become my disciple, I will teach you with all my heart. I heard from Jiujian that you follow the path of the Fire Sky Beast God and have extremely high attainments in swordsmanship."

"Let's practice here."

"Let me see how far your swordsmanship and understanding of the laws have progressed."

Shen Ping nodded, and then unleashed his strongest technique, the Galaxy Hanging in the Sky Sword Technique, in the main hall. This technique combined many sword techniques from the Sword Technique Manual, bringing the essence of the sword and the power of its laws to the extreme.

Seeing this blade of light is like seeing the law of fire and space fusion and the various laws that it has evolved into.

As the Ice Peak Lord who had comprehended the fundamental laws of time and space, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He truly hadn't expected that a Realm Lord could cultivate his swordsmanship to such a level. Although the level of this swordsmanship was only average in his eyes, it was exceptionally exquisite, and it even gave him some insights.

This is simply unbelievable.

Before sending the email.

He knew that the Virtual Universe Company had produced such a peerless genius comparable to Kodi, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, he was naturally a bit of a loner and often roamed the cosmic sea, rarely managing human affairs. However, he didn't expect that Shen Ping's talent and comprehension were so high.

"good."

"Your swordsmanship is on the right track, and you are not bound by the way of the Beast God. Instead, you have developed your own understanding. Your swordsmanship can even evolve into a variety of fundamental laws. Obviously, your swordsmanship has been completely mastered in its essence."

"I have nothing to teach you in this regard. All you need is experience in combat to perfect your sword technique and create your own secret method. I will arrange different opponents for you, which I believe will be helpful."

Speaking of which...

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the Path of the Beast God, judging from your swordsmanship, you have already reached the second level of the Path of the Beast God. Even a Realm Lord can reach this level. You are indeed very talented in the Path of the Beast God. Your sixth senior brother, Venerable Fire Cliff, also follows the Path of the Beast God. If you have any doubts, you can ask him."

"When you leave Chaos City and go to the extraterrestrial battlefield, come to the Virtual Universe Company's Primal Secret Realm."

"Yes, teacher."

Watching Shen Ping leave.

The Lord of Ice Peak was quite emotional. He hadn't expected that as a Lord of the Universe, he wouldn't have much to teach a Realm Lord. The other party was exceptionally skilled in both swordsmanship and understanding of the laws. All he could do was arrange better training for him.

"My senior brother once said that teaching disciples doesn't require hands-on guidance; simply providing them with a suitable cultivation plan and some life-saving items is enough!"

"I rarely take on such a genius as a disciple... Well, I'll put more effort into his survival. I hope he can have a smoother experience on the battlefield outside the domain."

Regarding Shen Ping, his personal disciple.

He still cared a lot, after all, it was his first time, and he really wanted to teach an outstanding disciple so that he could have some face in front of his senior brother and other universe lords.

Leave the main hall.

Venerable Fire Cliff was waiting there.

"Junior Brother, I am your sixth senior brother, Huoya."

"If you have any questions about the Path of the Fire Beast God in the future, you can ask me."

Shen Ping quickly said, "Thank you, Sixth Senior Brother."

I chatted briefly with my sixth senior brother.

He then obtained some information.

Sixth Senior Brother has reached the fifth level in the Fire Beast God realm, not far from the sixth level of the Universe Overlord realm. However, among the disciples under the Ice Peak Lord, he is not the most outstanding. The most outstanding is Third Senior Sister, who has already reached the Universe Overlord level.

This made Shen Ping very curious.

Many of the Immortal Kings are women, such as the Illusionary Spirit King and the Jade Queen, but there are very few women among the Universe Venerables, such as the Illusionary Sound Venerable. And the Overlord level is even rarer, with some only found in races such as the Insect Race and the Demon Race.

After leaving the plane of the Ice Peak Lord, he returned to the plane of the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Haha, my disciple, how is it?"

"Master, the Lord of Ice Peaks has accepted me as his disciple!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable's smile widened even more. "Come, come, this is wonderful news, we should celebrate!"

He then asked the Jade King beside him to bring out some fine wine, and he and Shen Ping began to drink together.

This was the first time the Nine Swords Venerable had been so close.

Clearly, Shen Ping's status and position are different now, and he is genuinely happy for Shen Ping.

The master-disciple relationship is the most reliable in the universe.

Even if it's only for a few hundred years.

"Disciple, the Lord of Ice Peak is a super existence of our human race, second only to the Lord of Chaos City. You must cultivate diligently in the future and not let your teacher down."

"Disciple understands."

After drinking.

Before leaving, the Nine Swords Venerable gave some earnest advice.

……

Chaos City.

The rooftop of a residence.

Looking at the cracks in the sky that sometimes opened and sometimes closed.

Shen Ping slowly took a deep breath.

Although he didn't become the master of the Chaos City Lord, the Lord of Ice Peak is still quite good.

"Next, I'll continue to digest and absorb the sword technique manual in Chaos City. The 31 billion points awarded by Tongtian Mountain will be used to cultivate the Flame Star Flower, purchase detectors, and some powerful offensive consumables..."

"Once the power of the world within me reaches the peak of the World Lord realm, I will set off for the outer battlefield!"

He was formulating a cultivation plan in Chaos City.

Going to the outer battlefield immediately after breaking through to the Realm Lord level was pure recklessness. Although his comprehension of the fundamental laws was extremely high and his swordsmanship was superb, he was still only a Realm Lord. Even with a life gene level nearly ten thousand times higher, he was still not as powerful as a Marquis-level immortal. Only by reaching the peak of the Realm Lord level could he, with his life gene level, rival a Marquis-level immortal god.

If the amplification technique of the Fire Sky Beast's mysterious method is used again, combined with a supreme treasure, then the human body on Earth can achieve the status of a king and immortality.

"Even the most precious treasures... need to be refined within this timeframe: soul-related, attack-related, armor-related, and domain-suppressing treasures..."

The treasure is very powerful.

The difference in combat power between having a supreme treasure and not having one is enormous.

For example, the reason why Luo Feng was able to have the last laugh and obtain the treasure of the sacrificial tower in the outer battlefield was mainly because of the Wu Killing Wings. Without this treasure, Luo Feng would not have been able to thrive in the outer battlefield with just the general's armor.

Escape, disguise one's aura, weaken attacks—this treasure has many wonderful uses.

It is extremely rare for a King to possess even one great treasure, let alone a King at the pinnacle of power. Possessing a supreme treasure is even rarer, and only Kings with a very powerful background, like the son of Venerable Fire Erosion, can have one.

The Venerable Fire Erosion even said that if his son had put a little effort into studying the treasure, he could have suppressed the peak of the King-level realm, which shows the amplification of the treasure's power.

Another example is King Zhenyan.

He was able to face the Supreme Being of the Universe and survive simply by relying on his precious boots.

Therefore, in the world of Swallowed Star, treasures greatly enhance combat power. When one reaches the stage of the Lord of the Universe or the strongest being in the universe, secret techniques are one aspect, but more importantly, one relies on supreme treasures. Whoever possesses a supreme treasure is invincible.

Shen Ping was very fortunate that he could obtain a large number of treasures and supreme treasures through the family rewards, without having to go out and explore to seek opportunities or work himself to death to obtain supreme treasures.

"With my current level of understanding of the laws, I can only activate the first form of an ordinary supreme treasure. I can't use any supreme treasures that are better. But even the first form is enough. If I can fully digest and absorb the sword technique manual and comprehend the third level of the Fire Beast God, then I can activate the second form!"

"At that time, I will truly be invincible below the level of a Cosmic Venerable!"

Next.

Shen Ping then devoted himself to studying it.

The fifth year of becoming an apprentice.

A group of core members of the Giant Axe Arena have arrived in Chaos City.

Hong was among them.

"Haha, Shen Ping, I didn't expect that we wouldn't meet in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, but instead met here in Chaos City!"

a few days later.

Having settled down, Hong quickly arrived at Shen Ping's residence through the virtual universe.

Shen Ping was also very happy.

He knew that Hong would enter the initial universe, cultivate for a period of time, and then leave Chaos City before venturing into the Illusionary Sea.

The rooftop of a residence.

The two talked about things on Earth while drinking.

In fact, over the years, they have often met on Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe, mainly for exchange and discussion meetings. Influenced by Shen Ping, Hong and Thor have made rapid progress in the fundamental laws.

"The Earth has changed dramatically."

"After Luo Feng's transformation, and with the development over the years, Earth has been completely integrated into the universe. Most of our families live on life-bearing planets in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, while ordinary people mainly roam the Silver Blue Empire. Some of the better ones live on the Qiulong Star that you bought, but some have become space pirates. Everyone's fate is different."

Hong said in a low voice, "No matter what choice we make, it's very easy for ordinary people on Earth to reach planetary level now."

Shen Ping remained silent.

Earth has long since entered the era of interstellar migration. The older generation still stays on Earth, but newborns yearn for the vast universe and naturally will not stay on Earth.

Anyone would do the same.

For example, among young people in reality, who wants to go back to their hometown? They all strive in big cities.

Therefore, they are unaware that real estate on Earth is very expensive, and that living on Earth is the greatest opportunity.

"flood."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Shen Ping suddenly became serious.

Hong was surprised.

"If you had to choose between Earth and your future, which would you choose?"

Shen Ping knew he shouldn't have said these things, but he said them anyway.

Hong was taken aback. "Why ask such a question? Does something have happened on Earth?"

Seeing that Shen Ping remained silent.

Hong became serious. "I am an Earthling."

This one sentence alone makes his stance clear.

The vast universe.

One's hometown is always the most irreplaceable. Even as a human race, it is still a race. When faced with a choice, one will naturally choose one's hometown.

See here.

Shen Ping laughed and then said, "Hong, Earth is special. It's rare for a star field to produce even one genius of the Origin Law, but Earth has not only produced me, but also Luo Feng, you, and Thor. That's quite extraordinary."

Hong remained silent.

Anyone who has spent some time in space will notice that Earth is different.

"Once Earth's special characteristics are discovered, neither you nor I will be able to stop it from being occupied, not even if I am the disciple of the Ice Peak Lord."

Upon hearing this...

Hong's eyes widened. "Earth is really that special?"

"right."

"When you leave Chaos City and venture into the Illusionary Sea, you'll understand what I mean today. The Illusionary Sea is similar to the Bridge to Heaven, except it tests your willpower, consciousness, and state of mind. If a cosmic-level being could pass the 20th level of the Bridge to Heaven, do you think it would cause a huge commotion?"

Shen Ping said slowly.

Hong immediately understood; his mastery of mental state was very high. If he were to actually venture into the Illusionary Sea, the consequences would be...

"Don't worry, even if I go out and take risks, I'll hold back."

"Hong, you understand. Earth needs time, and we also need time to grow. At least when we have enough strength, we can act without restraint."

"Come on, let's drink!"

For Shen Ping, even if Hong made it to the 20th island of the Illusionary Sea and became the disciple of the Giant Axe Founder, it would still take him a very long time to improve, which would be much faster than his progress through exchanges and discussions.

Of course.

He didn't intend to delay Hong for too long.

"If we could possess the strength of a cosmic overlord, even if Earth's secrets were exposed and the five major powers moved in, I believe they wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

The two ended their conversation.

Hong went back to study the fundamental laws and the Chaos Stele.

Shen Ping also began to devote himself to cultivation.

This cultivation immediately allowed him to experience the terrifying comprehension speed of a World Lord. Originally, he already had considerable talent in the two fundamental laws of fire and space. For example, his talent in fire had reached the level of a talent that appears only once every hundred million epochs, while his talent in space had gradually evolved over the years to the level of a talent that appears only once every million epochs.

They reached the level of a Realm Lord.

His terrifying talent was fully unleashed.

In the thirty years that Hong stayed in alone.

He had comprehended the fundamental law of fire to the point of near complete understanding, but he was so frightened that he dared not continue to comprehend it. After all, once he comprehended fire, he would be able to communicate with the origin of the universe and become an immortal god. Once he became immortal, he would not be able to comprehend it at the speed of a world lord.

Therefore, Shen Ping stopped comprehending the fundamental law of fire and instead focused on comprehending the fundamental law of space, while his World Tree clone comprehended the fundamental law of time.

His ambitions are undoubtedly great.

The Ten Fundamental Laws are the very foundation upon which chaos is built. (End of Chapter)
