Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

The core world lord genius of the Virtual Universe Company has cultivated for tens of thousands of years and can rival the immortal king. Killing a marquis is already considered outstanding. For example, Ke Di, the former personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, is a genius who appears once every tens of millions of eras. His killing of a marquis at the peak of the world lord level made the alien races tremble. The insect race even went to great lengths to kill him.

For a realm lord to kill a peak-level king, especially one of the strongest among them, is extremely rare in the endless years, but it cannot be said to be impossible.

After all, the vast universe has given birth to far too many extraordinary geniuses.

"My disciple."

"Do not reveal that you are the King of the Ninth Ring. No matter what the outside world speculates, as long as it is not confirmed, it is just speculation."

"The Lord of the Ice Peaks said."

Shen Ping bowed and said, "Yes, teacher."

He is not stupid.

How could they possibly expose themselves? Even if the alien races speculated, before it was confirmed, the demon race, the insect race, and other races would not really expend a huge cost, like having the strongest beings in the universe assassinate them. That was basically impossible. At most, they would send a universe venerable, or at most a high-level venerable.

But what if it's proven that he is indeed the King of Nine Rings?

That would be a different story.

Of course, even if they really knew, the demon race and the insect race would not ask the illusory demon god to assassinate them, as that would be extremely costly and would also involve incurring favors.

"My disciple, what are your plans for the future?"

Hear this.

Shen Ping pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This disciple hasn't decided yet. Does Master have any suggestions?"

He knew that the Lord of Ice Peaks wouldn't ask such questions unless there was a reason.

The Lord of Ice Peak continued, "With your strength, staying in the outer battlefield won't be of much help to you. Realm Lords usually seek out a relatively ordinary cosmic secret realm to explore after leaving the outer battlefield. Once they have a good understanding of the laws, they will break through to immortality. Although you won't cause too much of a stir if you don't expose yourself, you have after all passed through the Realm Lord-level Tongtian Mountain. The alien races will definitely try to assassinate you. The cosmic secret realm is much more dangerous than the outer battlefield. After thinking about it, I have thought of a good place for you."

Shen Ping had a guess in his mind, but he still asked, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

"The mysterious realm of ancestors."

"You are walking the path of the Beast God, and if you want to go further on the path of the Beast God, you must go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm. There, the geniuses of billions of races in the universe gather. Most importantly, in the Ancestral Mystic Realm, even the top races such as the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race do not dare to act recklessly, let alone assassinate you."

The Lord of Ice Peak laughed, "Now that you've earned the title of Nine-Ring King, I can apply for a Beast God Inheritance Token for you. I believe the chances of success are extremely high. Then you can take the Beast God Inheritance Token to the Ancestral God Sect."

When following the path of the Beast God, the Ancestral God Sect is an unavoidable place.

Because all the races know that only in the land of the Ancestral God Cult can the Path of the Beast God be cultivated to its full potential, and the human race does not have a higher level of cultivation method for the Path of the Beast God.

Although Shen Ping can continuously acquire the talent of the Beast God realm, if he wants to reach the pinnacle, he can only go to the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance.

Of course.

For him, the Ancestral God Cult was simply a place to receive a legacy; he could simply set up an avatar there without needing to focus his efforts there.

"Thank you, teacher."

He first expressed his gratitude, then said, "This disciple plans to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City for a period of time before heading to the Ancestral Mystic Realm."

The Lord of Ice Peak asked in confusion, "Disciple, your comprehension of the fundamental laws is already sufficient. You can teleport and seal with the fundamental laws of space. Only the strangulation move remains. There is no need to stay in Chaos City. For you, it is faster to go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm to receive the inheritance of the Beast God and improve."

Once you comprehend the fundamental laws of space and achieve teleportation and sealing, you've essentially gained recognition from the space realm, which is considered a great achievement. This way, even after breaking through to immortality, with the recognition from the fundamental laws of space, your comprehension won't be too slow.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Ice Peak Lord, going to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion is a complete waste of time. Only those who are only one step away from becoming a Universe Venerable and whose potential has been exhausted and who cannot obtain resources from their clan will cultivate in seclusion. For example, True King Yan could never obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token and could only rely on hard work to take the last step. As for geniuses like Shen Ping, who have both resources and talent, they naturally pursue faster growth.

Shen Ping shared his thoughts.

He follows the path of the ten fundamental laws, and whether it is the path of the Beast God, or time and space, they are all extensions of these fundamental laws.

However, he wouldn't say that; instead, he would say that one should spend time studying and learning.

The Ice Peak Lord looked at his disciple, unsure of what to say. To say that his disciple was ambitious was an understatement, as any genius has ambition. To say that he was arrogant was also hard to say, after all, a realm lord as monstrous as his disciple was extremely rare.

But if you haven't even grasped the fundamental laws of space, and you try to get distracted by studying time, everyone will shake their heads. Look at how Bolan was distracted by studying space and time back then; what was the result? He wasted his time.

He believed Shen Ping was aware of this.

But since the other party has this idea, they have obviously made a decision.

"So be it. My disciple has only been a Realm Lord for a short time, less than two thousand years, yet he has already made such a name for himself. Naturally, he is extremely confident. Let him encounter some obstacles. Even if he wastes tens of thousands of years in the Realm Lord stage, it will still temper his mind."

The realm lord has a long lifespan, though not comparable to immortality, but his disciples have only been cultivating for a short time, so they have plenty of time to waste.

"Alright, I'll apply for it for you first. If the clan agrees, I'll keep it safe for you. Whenever you want to go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm, I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Shen Ping expressed his sincere gratitude.

Consciousness exits the virtual universe.

Military base.

He sighed with admiration, noting that although his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, was aloof, he was indeed very patient with him.

"Although I need to delve into the fundamental laws, I can't just stay in Chaos City like an idiot. I need to use the Frost Whale clone to do something."

"I could explore the secret realm of the universe. By the way, my teacher, the Nine Swords Venerable, is still staying in that newly developed secret realm of the universe. I can go there sometime."

After the battle of geniuses, while he was meditating in Chaos City, the Nine Swords Venerable invited the three-eyed elder, Kander, who was stationed at the Chaos Stele, to explore the Chaos Secret Realm. It has been about three thousand years since then.

This amount of time is nothing for exploring the secret realm.

It's common for a Cosmic Venerable to spend tens of thousands of years exploring newly developed secret realms; in any case, a Cosmic Venerable doesn't need to worry about lifespan.

The original star lasted longer.

Open the virtual window.

A new reward has been introduced for the family.

This time, by killing four powerful experts at the limit of the King level, I obtained several treasures and more than two trillion Chaos Units of spoils. I received three rewards in terms of assets.

They are respectively 1 trillion, the value of one treasure, the value of ten treasures... The four treasures on Tianqin King and his companions are worth about 10 treasure points. The borrowed domain-type treasures, suppression-type pagoda treasures, and binding and trapping-type treasures are all special treasures, but unfortunately they are not top-level. Only top-level special treasures are comparable to the value of supreme treasures.

For example, the Golden Thread Aurora Mirror is a top-tier treasure of the domain category, worth 2.3 Treasure Points. The Magic Cube that Luo Feng obtained is a sealed treasure, worth only 22 Treasure Points.

The special items that Blood Spear King and his companions borrowed could not possibly be top-tier treasures. The demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race could not possibly provide them with top-tier special items comparable to supreme treasures.

Therefore, all the treasures and spoils that Shen Ping obtained, in total, are estimated to be only around 200 treasure points.

"Two of the most powerful step-up evaluations, one of the most powerful small-step evaluations... At this rate, a few more times should be enough to achieve a new level of family evaluation!"

Shen Ping stared at the text displayed in the virtual box, lost in thought.

Since activating the family's golden finger, the highest evaluation we've achieved so far is the "Family Prosperity" level. The most significant small step we've taken is to add a peak-level treasure to the regular rewards, while the extra rewards now include peak-level special treasures.

Besides these, there are also treasures at the level of Void True Gods, which are fragments of the most powerful treasures.

I obtained x60 fragments three times in a row.

Now that I have 80 Void God Fragments, with one more reward, I can exchange them for a second Supreme Treasure!

I put my thoughts aside.

He continued looking down.

In addition to family assets, there has finally been a new reward for family reputation, which had not been awarded before.

[You killed a peak-level King-ranking expert on the extraterritorial battlefield, greatly increasing your fame among the human race's King-ranking immortals and spreading your reputation among the high-ranking members of the five major powers. Your family has taken a solid and powerful small step towards prosperity.]

[Rewards include top-tier treasures, 5 high-level treasures, and 10 common treasures...]

[Bonus rewards: Void True God Mechanical Flow Treasure Fragment x20 (100/100), Life Gene Level increased by 1000 (19081), one top-tier Origin-type Treasure, and a third special avatar (a unique life form in the universe)...]

After watching.

His eyes lit up.

Although he had managed to exchange for the second supreme treasure, his focus was on the third special clone. In fact, with his current resources and strength, he didn't need too many clones. Firstly, clones were mainly used for survival, secondly for replenishing divine power during battle, and thirdly for outnumbering opponents. However, Shen Ping had a primordial treasure and a World Tree clone. But this clone was a unique life form in the universe, which made him look forward to it.

After receiving it.

Shen Ping immediately examined the clone.

It is a fire-evolving beast made of flesh and blood.

The talent is very special; it is a life-related talent. To put it simply, it is similar to the life-saving talent of the Duan Donghe lineage. As long as there is a trace of flesh and blood divine power or genetic residue, one can be reborn in a very short time.

Even if the soul is corrupted, as long as it is not enslaved, it can be reborn.

However, it requires splitting the soul.

Moreover, it can only split once at a time. When it splits a second time, it must reach its peak again. But for immortals, as long as they have immortal divine power, they can split quickly.

After all, every wisp of immortal divine power contains a soul.

"Hahaha, this clone is absolutely invincible!"

Shen Ping was extremely excited.

His only flaw is his weak willpower and lack of cultivation of soul-related secret techniques. He needs a soul treasure to protect him, but if he encounters powerful beings skilled in illusion, such as the strongest beings in the universe like the Phantom Demon God, he will be in danger.

However, now that we have this third Fire-Evolving Beast, the situation is completely different!

Even if one's soul is corrupted and one is killed, one can still be resurrected.

There are no more shortcomings.

"The Fire Beast, with 3000 times the life force of humans, can achieve perfect genes with just a little cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture... This is perfect for allowing this third clone and the Frost Whale clone to venture into the Mysterious Realm of the Universe together. No one will know about the third clone, while the Earth human body and the World Tree clone can secretly cultivate and study the fundamental laws!"

Shen Ping pondered.

He now has four incarnations: his original human form on Earth, the Frost Whale, the World Tree, and the Fire Beast, allowing him to balance cultivation and adventure.

However, when it comes to a real discussion...

Human beings on Earth are the strongest, possessing nearly 20,000 life gene levels. Even without using the strongest secret techniques, they can kill a peak-level King with just the ultimate secret techniques, and can also kill a King at the limit with some other means, not to mention the innate secret techniques bestowed by the universe.

The other clones are somewhat inferior.

However, if he were to unleash his strongest secret technique, the Nine Rings of Void, its power would barely rival that of a Cosmic Venerable.

"Don't rush back to Chaos City. Let's get the Fire Beast clone to its perfect genetic level at the military base, and familiarize it with a set of supreme treasures... Also, we need to speed up the realization of both important and supreme treasures!"

As his family's prosperity level increased, so did the treasures he acquired, which ended up gathering dust in the family's storage space.

time flies.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Fox Spirit and Yu Mu's team returned to the military base. Since receiving Shen Ping's support, Fox Spirit's strength has improved rapidly. With the help of some external objects, she can even kill immortal gods. Moreover, her understanding of the fundamental laws has gradually deepened.

According to her estimate, it would take another four or five thousand years of trials and tribulations to break through to immortality.

Inside the island estate.

"I've already talked to the captain, we'll definitely stay in the outer battlefield. Don't worry, with the life-saving items you gave me, I'll be fine as long as I don't encounter any peak-level Marquis-level Immortals. Besides, the places we're going to are rarely even high-level Marquis-level Immortals. Normally, when we encounter Marquis-level Immortals or gods, we stay far away and wouldn't dare to provoke them!"

Shen Ping kept changing the fiery red tail back and forth, causing Hu Ling's body to tremble incessantly, her alluring eyes watery, almost unable to hold back.

Shen Ping did not stop Hu Ling from continuing his adventures. He had originally planned to send An Xueyi and the others to the extraterrestrial battlefield in two or three thousand years, so that Hu Ling could take care of them then.

On experience.

Fox Spirit is a veteran of the battlefield.

He shared his thoughts.

Fox Spirit's eyes were watery. "Hehe, when your wives come over, I'll have to get along well with them... Ah, no, don't use the Primal Law on your tail, boohoo, I hate it."

The two spent more than three months being inseparable.

Yu Mu's side didn't urge them either.

"Fox Spirit, I plan to leave the extraterritorial battlefield soon, so you must live well."

Upon hearing this...

Fox Spirit looked reluctant to part. With Shen Ping on the battlefield outside the domain, she felt safe. If she encountered danger, she could call for help from Shen Ping, and he would definitely come as quickly as possible. However, she also knew that Shen Ping couldn't stay on the battlefield outside the domain indefinitely. (End of Chapter)
