Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Chapter 85 What kind of monster genius is this?

The secret technique of possession is very precious in the universe, and once obtained, it is no less difficult to cultivate than to purchase an Eternal Love. The master of Meteorite Star originally considered that his successor might be an Earthling, and since Earthlings have a low bloodline level, possession is the only way to grow faster. Therefore, the secret technique of possession was left in the inheritance, and it is easier to use the secret technique of possession under the inheritance soul imprint.

In the original work, Luo Feng was able to possess the Golden Horned Beast at the planetary level because he inherited the soul of a first-tier cosmic-level spiritualist from the Soul Imprint. Otherwise, he would not have been able to succeed at all.

Therefore, Shen Ping was not worried at all about Luo Feng's failure.

The two chatted briefly.

Luo Feng then left the castle.

On the way back to Jiangnan Base City.

Excitement lit up his face. He had just searched for information about the Golden Horned Beast and battle footage through the virtual universe network, which made him truly understand how terrifying the Golden Horned Beast was.

And now such an incredible opportunity is within easy reach.

As for whether the master would break his promise, he wasn't worried, since he trusted the master's character.

"Tsk tsk, Luo Feng, you're really going to strike it rich this time. The Golden Horned Beast not only has a noble bloodline, but more importantly, it likely contains a large amount of inherited memories. This represents knowledge, and knowledge is priceless in the universe!"

"After you return from the palace banquet, don't rush to possess it. Wait until your mental strength reaches the eighth level of the planetary level and is completely stable before attempting to possess it. The Golden Horned Beast is still in an egg state, and the soul inside is very weak. Only when it is born, nurtured, and devours the black eggshell can it grow rapidly. Therefore, your chances of success are very high."

Babata was equally excited. "Your teacher's original plan to cultivate you was to use countless treasures, hoping that you could become a world lord, and it would take more than 100,000 years. Now, if you can possess the Golden Horned Beast, you can become a world lord as long as you grow normally."

As it spoke, it continued, "Luo Feng, your master's character is truly admirable. Such an opportunity is given away so readily. In the universe, let alone an opportunity like the Golden Horned Beast, even some treasures like the Cloud-Piercing Vine would cause bloody battles and blood relatives would turn against each other."

Luo Feng nodded, "I will always remember the kindness the master has shown me."

"It's good that you understand. Your master is someone you'd be willing to risk your life for. When you're adventuring with someone like that, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back."

……

Several days later, the silver-white, pyramid-shaped mechanical spaceship left Earth, traversing the universe and quickly disappearing into the solar system.

Qiulongxing.

Inside Castle No. 187.

As the machine race's spaceship landed.

Dozens of cosmic and even star-level members stepped forward to greet him; they were the guards that Anmunz had arranged for Shen Ping.

In front of these members, An Xueyi, covered in a bright white battle suit, had a charming smile on her face. After the pyramid-shaped spaceship disappeared, she saw Shen Ping and the others.

"Shen Ping, you've finally decided to come back. If you had delayed any longer, I might have kidnapped your two wives."

Looking into An Xueyi's cunning eyes.

Shen Ping said speechlessly, "I'm only going back to my hometown for a few months."

"A few months is a long time."

"Besides, your hometown is in the Milky Way galaxy, which is a territory under the jurisdiction of a primitive cosmic civilization. It's very remote, so what's so great about staying there?"

An Xueyi pouted and said.

Behind him, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all suppressing their laughter. They could tell that An Xueyi was a girl in love, and they couldn't help but admire Shen Ping for being able to seduce even the pampered daughter of such a powerful family in the universe.

"Shen Ping, let's head back to the manor first. Just let us know when it's time to leave."

Done.

Luo Feng, Hong Leishen, and the others left one after another. After Shen Ping became the master of Qiulong Star, the three of them naturally had their own manor, and now their families are all in the manor.

Arrive at the castle balcony.

The two drank a few glasses of fine wine.

An Xueyi then got down to business, "My progress in the field has been rather slow lately. My fifth senior brother suggested that I take the cosmic mercenary exam, saying that there might be a breakthrough in the life-or-death battle. But I've checked, and the mortality rate for the cosmic trainee mercenary exam is very high. Sigh, I want to go, but I'm also afraid to go, in case I die there."

Shen Ping glanced at the alluring An Xueyi and said, "You are at the third level of the Flame Domain and a fifth-level martial artist of the Hengxing Star. There aren't many people in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region who are stronger than you. You should be the one worrying about the others when you take the Cosmic Apprentice Mercenary Assessment."

An Xueyi pouted, "Although I'm powerful, I'm only a fifth-level Hengxing after all. Humph, you don't even care about me."

Shen Ping rolled his eyes. "You're not weak either."

An Xueyi's eyes darted around. "Shen Ping, when are you planning to take the mercenary exam? My grandfather said that if you want to improve, it's best to go on adventures. There are great terrors and great opportunities between life and death, which you can never experience in the killing field."

"Yeah?"

"Why didn't the teacher tell me this?"

Shen Ping sipped his wine and laughed.

While life-or-death situations do accelerate genetic evolution, for a genius of the fundamental laws of the universe like him, only by fighting against other geniuses of the same level can he truly experience life-or-death battles. However, there are virtually no geniuses of the laws in the cosmic trainee mercenary assessment, so if he goes there, it will be a one-sided massacre unless the enemy uses a super weapon against him. But that wouldn't be a battle, but a duel of technological weapons.

"You're a pervert."

"Going there won't make a difference."

An Xueyi muttered to herself.

Shen Ping said nonchalantly, "I will go to the Cosmic Mercenary Assessment, but not now. As you can see, my friend hasn't broken through to the Hengxing level yet. I estimate that he will reach the Hengxing level in another year or two at most, and then we will go."

An Xueyi's eyes lit up. "Really? Then I'll tell Fifth Senior Brother to wait a little longer, and we'll go together then."

"Let's go to the training ground."

"What, are you looking for trouble again?"

Shen Ping sized up An Xueyi's streamlined figure under her bright white battle suit. "I'm asking you, do you have masochistic tendencies? You can't beat me, but you keep dragging me into sparring."

An Xueyi immediately retorted fiercely, "You're the one with masochistic tendencies. This time, I'm not here for a friendly spar, but to see how much you've improved over the past two years. My fifth senior brother told me the other day that you haven't gone to him for guidance in a long time."

Shen Ping suddenly realized.

He immediately got up and went to the training ground, smiling as he said, "There are no major problems for now. As for some minor issues in cultivation, it's not worth making a special trip over to ask for advice."

In the past two years, thanks to his powerful talent in the laws of fire and the improvement of his understanding of the secret techniques of snow flame, he has long since mastered the second level of the Flame God Blade, Flame Slash, and he is even skilled at using it to unleash its true power.

Apart from that.

He has also thoroughly grasped the fundamental laws of space and is able to unleash two illusory bodies. It can be said that his overall progress over the past two years has been astonishing.

Chi Chi.

Standing on the training ground, Shen Ping flipped his wrist, and the Flame God Blade appeared. He casually twirled the blade with flames, and four or five flame blade shadows easily burst forth, quickly overlapping and merging into a single blade.

Now, he has gained more and more freedom in understanding and applying the laws of fire, as if it were engraved in his very genes. All of this is thanks to the transformation and improvement of his fire talent.

Especially after receiving the Fire Talent reward four times a few days ago, his understanding of fire has reached a new level.

Although An Xueyi couldn't understand the sword technique, as someone with talent in the field of fire, she could see its exquisite power. She opened the virtual universe network to record Shen Ping's sword practice and sent it to her grandfather and fifth senior brother.

First, sparks cracked.

Next up is the Flame Slash.

The first two layers of the Flame God Blade were simply mastered by Shen Ping.

Especially after practicing sword techniques.

He completely merged into the flames, and the Flame God Blade became part of his body, making his swordsmanship look like an art form.

One afterimage of a fiery blade, then two, three… a total of nine afterimages of fiery blades erupted. These afterimages then converged at an extremely fast speed and slashed forward, like flames soaring through the air. This slash was not only extremely powerful but also dazzlingly beautiful, captivating all who watched.

Having fully grasped the fundamental essence of space, Shen Ping would unconsciously concentrate a trace of the profound mystery of space's essence when wielding his sword. This resulted in his sword not only being explosively powerful but also incredibly fast, almost as if he were wielding it along the very threads of space.

After several dozen breaths.

He sheathed his sword and stood there.

He pondered in his mind, "I have thoroughly mastered the first two levels of swordsmanship, but the Flame God Blade has a total of seven levels. The first three levels belong to one stage, the middle two levels belong to another stage, and the sixth and seventh levels belong to yet another stage."

"Although the first three levels are relatively easy, that's only in comparison to the sword techniques that follow. My fire talent now surpasses the spatial talent of the Demon Slayer Clan, but I still haven't mastered the Horizontal Fire Slash of the third level... I'll have to ask my teacher for guidance later."

The third level is quite difficult.

The technique requires creating over twenty sparks and reflections the instant the blade is slashed out, which then quickly converge into a single strike. This involves combining the explosive and inexhaustible flow of fire, demanding a deeper understanding of fire than the previous two techniques.

Of course, if Shen Ping were to forcefully unleash it, he could do so by relying on his fire talent, but the power would be relatively weak.

At this time.

An Xueyi was stunned.

She never imagined that swordsmanship could be performed so beautifully. Looking at the sword, she felt as if she were seeing the afterglow of a setting sun, or the blazing sun shining alone in the desert.

I came to my senses.

Her alluring face looked at Shen Ping, a hint of infatuation flashing across her eyes—the infatuation with a genius and powerful individual.

At the same time.

When the fifth senior brother, Kules, saw the video sent by An Xueyi, his eyes widened in disbelief. He had thought that his junior brother had been neglecting his duties in the past two years and had been lax in his swordsmanship training, spending his days playing with his junior sister. However, upon seeing this swordsmanship, all his previous thoughts vanished.

"He's mastered the second level of the Flame God Blade so skillfully in just two years, and his swordsmanship is so incredibly fast, it seems to cut through space itself... Teacher, what kind of monster have you taken in?!"

Kules smiled wryly. Even as a ninth-level Domain Lord, he couldn't execute such a fast and amazing sword technique. "If this sword technique were to reach our teacher, he probably wouldn't care about his junior brother's neglect of his studies anymore."

……

Virtual universe.

Settling down in a new home.

Inside the cultivation residence.

With the prompt from the AI ​​assistant, Anmonz opened the email and saw that it was a video of Xueyi demonstrating her swordsmanship. A smile appeared on his lips. This granddaughter hadn't been spoiled for nothing; she did know what was important. However, the thought of his granddaughter always leading his disciples around gave him a headache.
