Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 86 Primal Secret Realm

After King Longyu finished speaking, the more than 600 geniuses stood up and, under the arrangement of the immortal powerhouses, boarded their respective spaceships.

Moments later, the three spaceships took off one after another, heading towards the three great secret realms of the Primordial Beginning, Heaven and Earth, and the End of the World.

Immediately following, the large, dark blue fish-shaped spaceship also took off, accelerating to the speed of light in a very short time and entering the dark universe.

……

Inside the giant fish spaceship, in the magnificent hall.

"The four secret realms are located in different places, with the Primal Secret Realm and the Headquarters in the same universe."

The Nine Swords Venerable explained, "As for the other secret realms, the closest one is the Primordial Secret Realm, which is 1.2 million light-years away from the headquarters."

When facing Shen Mu, Bo Lan, and Luo Feng, the Nine Swords Venerable's attitude was noticeably more approachable.

"I will personally escort you to the Primal Secret Realm later. The Primal Secret Realm is known as the 'Ninth Dimension' or the 'Wu Chen Dimension,' which is formed by the automatic operation of 136 Wu Chen planets."

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled and said, "Even a group of universe rulers would not be able to break through the defenses of these 136 Black Star Planets and directly enter."

Shen Mu, Bo Lan, and Luo Feng all looked surprised.

Bolan and Luo Feng were indeed startled, while Shen Mu began his performance.

The Nine Swords Venerable laughed and said, "Generally speaking, the cultivation environment in the cosmic secret realm is not as good as that in the starry sky domain, and there may be many dangers there."

"However, primitive secret realms are not included. The four core secret realms have been developed and modified by the Virtual Universe Company, and are no longer dangerous. Moreover, they contain incredibly rich cosmic primordial energy, making them very suitable for cultivation."

"Within the Virtual Universe Company, the real hard currency is not the Mixed Element, but the Points."

"There is a tenfold reward for passing the Tongtian Bridge during the newcomer period, and you have all performed very well on the Tongtian Bridge, so you should have quite a few points."

The Nine Swords Venerable turned his gaze to Shen Mu and the other two, reminding them, "After leaving the Initial Universe, this privilege will no longer be available. To gain points, you can only complete various training missions, and you cannot waste your points."

"Similarly, you must also remember that although points are valuable, if they are not converted into strength, they are just a bunch of numbers."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Shen Mu and the other two bowed respectfully to the Nine Swords Venerable.

The Nine Swords Venerable nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared from the spot again.

……

In the magnificent and silent dark universe, a large, dark blue fish sped past at a speed a hundred times faster than light.

Inside the spaceship, in Shen Mu's rest room.

"Next, we should take on cultivation missions to obtain opportunities. Whether it's assisting in the growth of life or acquiring various cultivation resources, it will require a lot of points."

During his time in Chaos City, Shen Mu conquered the ninth level of the Sky Bridge, accumulating 51.1 points.

Adding the initial 100 million points given by the Qianwu Kingdom Master and the 10 points gained from joining the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, I have accumulated a little over 161 million points.

Shen Mu subsequently spent 10 points to purchase the first three volumes of "An Introduction to Icebound" and equipped his Azure Dragon clone and Flame God clone with secret weapons, spending a total of 9.6 points, bringing his total points balance to 141.5.

Cultivating auxiliary life forms also requires careful consideration. Years ago, Babata gave Shen Mu a young Moyun Vine, but Shen Mu was not keen on cultivating the Moyun Vine.

Relatively speaking, the Cloud Vine is primarily defensive, and while its offensive capabilities are decent, they are far from being top-tier.

Even Luo Feng will cultivate a Star-Eating Grass in the future.

Star-eating grass is an "aggressive plant life form" and is known as the "most resilient". It also has top-notch defense and is very large in size.

"Tuanzi, purchase a young Star-Eating Grass."

"Yes, Master!"

A virtual image resembling a slime appeared on the screen of Shen Mu's optical computer armband.

This is an auxiliary intelligent life form that Shen Mu purchased; it only recognizes its master. Since Shen Mu has many secrets, he rarely bothered Babata in the past.

"Master, the price of the Star-Eating Grass larva is 20 points. Members of the Original Zone receive a 7% discount, bringing the price to 14 points. Confirm purchase?"

Star-Eating Grass is indeed expensive; a single juvenile is worth 20 points, enough to cultivate a normal evolved World Lord-level Cloud Vine.

This is still purchased with points. If purchased with mixed units, it would be even more scarce and difficult to find, with very few channels available. Even a single juvenile would cost nearly 30 mixed units.

"How many points are needed to cultivate the Star-Eating Grass to the ninth rank of the Domain Lord level?"

Tuanzi stretched out her little hand and gently tapped it in mid-air: "Master, this is the strongest evolution training program for Star-Eating Grass."

Cultivating Star-Eating Grass to the ninth rank of Domain Lord requires a maximum of 20 points and yields a maximum of one hundred vines. Cultivating it to the ninth rank of World Lord requires a maximum of 160 points and yields a maximum of one thousand vines.

To cultivate from the Realm Lord level to the Immortal realm, the strongest Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass would require 1200 billion points, and the success rate would only be 30%.

Although expensive, the best-cultivated Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, once it breaks through to the Immortal Realm, can possess the strength of a peak King. Each main vine is a million kilometers long, and its toughness and sharpness reach the limit of a King-level human divine body.

Whether it's plant-based or metal-based auxiliary life forms, the consumption before cultivating them to the World Lord level is not significant.

Shen Mu can still afford it with his current financial resources.

As for those at the Realm Lord level and beyond, this would require the sponsorship of Locke Divine Water worth 63 billion Mixed Yuan Units by a certain Realm Lord Panxi who wishes to remain anonymous.

"Let's just cultivate it to the ninth level of the Domain Lord for now. It has cost nearly 30 points in total, which is quite a lot."

Cultivating auxiliary life forms is a minor step; more points should be spent on becoming stronger yourself. Putting the cart before the horse is not worthwhile.

Half a day later, in the Primal Secret Realm, on the outskirts of Wu Chen Time and Space.

Ripples spread across the void, and then the silhouette of the giant fish spaceship appeared.

Inside the spaceship's main hall, Shen Mu and the other two stood behind the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Activate virtual exterior view."

As soon as the Nine Swords Venerable finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, allowing Shen Mu and the other two to see the outside world directly.

In the distance, beneath the starry sky, 136 enormous stars each orbit along a mysterious path. As the celestial bodies move, space and time intertwine, seemingly detached from the cosmos.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the giant fish spaceship plunged into the Wuchen space-time, and a vast continent immediately came into Shen Mu's view.

The Nine Swords Venerable said, "This is the Wuchen Continent. The most important Wuchen Continent cannot be seen from the outside world. All the members of the Primal Secret Realm live on the Wuchen Continent."

"I will now send you to your respective territories. The guards you saw in the virtual universe are in your territories."

Before long, the giant fish spaceship hovered in the sky above a certain part of the primeval secret realm.

Through the outdoor scene simulation, one can clearly observe the surrounding scenery, with countless mountains stretching endlessly, lakes and rivers intertwined and dotted, and wisps of light white mist swirling around, just like a fairyland.

"Shen Mu, you have arrived at your territory." The Nine Swords Venerable's voice rang out again.

"Thank you, Venerable One."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu bowed slightly to the venerable one first, then bid farewell to Luo Feng, and finally left the spaceship.

……

Stepping onto this continent, one is immediately enveloped by a rich, primordial energy of the universe.

Just being here made Shen Mu feel as if every cell in his body was coming alive. The thin mist that enveloped the entire continent could be interpreted as liquefied cosmic crystals.

call out!

Dozens of streaks of light flew from the distant horizon and landed in front of Shen Mu. The leader was a young man covered in fine jade-like scales, who was none other than Shen Mu's guard commander, the immortal god Yu Lun.

"Your Highness!" Dozens of people bowed respectfully.

"Okay." Shen Mu nodded slightly. "Yu Lun, show me around the territory."

Yu Lun smiled gently: "Alright, Your Highness, please follow me."

A moment later, surrounded by countless guards, Shen Mu arrived in front of a sprawling palace complex, the largest of which was three thousand kilometers long and wide.

Centered on this palace complex, his territory extends for millions of kilometers.

His guard consisted of one immortal god, ten realm lords, one hundred domain lords, and one thousand cosmic-level warriors.

Moreover, the guards prepared by the Virtual Universe Company for the members of the Primal Secret Realm are of very high quality. The Realm Lords in the guards are all at the peak of the Realm Lord level and have been recognized by the Origin Law.

There were even more servants, numbering in the tens of thousands. After all, the territory was so vast that even with the help of technological tools, maintenance and organization were still a huge workload.

The palace complex varies in size, but each building has its own unique style.

Shen Mu did not like the most magnificent and imposing hall, and ultimately chose a quiet courtyard.

In the courtyard grows a strange ancient tree, a kind of auxiliary plant life. Its combat power is relatively average, but it secretes a special scent that calms people's minds.

After settling down, Shen Mu connected a wisp of his consciousness to the virtual universe. The first thing he did was apply for a nutrient capsule to quickly evolve to the ninth level of the universe level.

Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Manor No. 114 in the Primitive Zone.

In a quiet room.

Shen Mu sat in his chair and directly ordered Tuanzi to retrieve his personal information from within the Virtual Universe Company.

Compared to the Chaos City era, a new "Backend Management" option has been added to the personal information interface.

It's in the backend management interface. There are three options: 'Life', 'Learning', and 'Cultivation'.

The application for the nutrition cabin is located in the lifestyle options and is a benefit for all core members of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Apply!"

Shen Mu directly selected to apply for the nutrient chamber.

drop!

A beautiful woman from the Cangyue tribe dressed in a white robe immediately appeared on the screen in front of Shen Mu, with a respectful smile on her face.

"Your Highness Shen Mu, are you requesting to use the nutrient chamber to advance from the first tier of the cosmic level to the ninth tier?"

"Yes!" Shen Mu nodded and said.

The Cangyue woman bowed slightly: "Yes, Your Highness Shen Mu, we will deliver the nutrient capsule directly to your residence within one day."

"Thank you." Shen Mu said his thanks and then ended the call.

After applying for the nutrient pod, Shen Mu said, "Tuanzi, connect directly to the virtual universe information database and add all the information you can access into your own database. It will be easier to find things in the future."

"Yes, Master!" Tuanzi responded to Shen Mu in a soft and cute voice.

After closing the "Life" option, Shen Mu opened the "Study" option.

The "Learning" option only has two sections: "Theory" and "Practice".

The theory mainly refers to the open classes in the entire original area. Under normal circumstances, the teachers who give the lectures are all King-level Immortals, and occasionally even Universe Venerables come to give lectures.

After all, most of the Realm Lords in the Primal Secret Realm have already attained the Marquis level of enlightenment, and only King level experts can teach them.

Most of these open courses discuss the two higher laws of space and time, while some occasionally discuss the eight lower laws.

Among the universe-level members of the Primal Secret Realm, the weakest is Luo Feng, who is still at the peak of the sixth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

Most of these people have already grasped the principles of subordinate laws to a very deep level, so there will be far fewer public lectures on subordinate laws.

As for "practice," it consists of three challenges: the Bridge to Heaven, the Illusionary Sea, and the Immortal Altar.

The practical aspects are divided into the "Bridge to Heaven", the "Sea of ​​Illusions", and the "Altar of Immortality".

The Bridge to Heaven tests one's understanding of fundamental laws, which needs no further explanation.

The Illusionary Sea tests a cultivator's strength of consciousness and willpower. Consciousness and willpower are extremely important in cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and combat.

The Immortal Altar tests physical strength; a hundred times the force of brute strength is considered a perfect score.

"Let's go check out the Immortal Altar and the Illusionary Sea first."

With a thought, Shen Mu's consciousness vanished from the spot.

……

The Immortal Altar Plane.

This is a vast, black mountain range with towering peaks that pierce the clouds.

At the summit of each mountain, there is a golden altar.

hum!

Shen Mu's figure appeared out of thin air on the golden altar. In front of him was a humanoid sculpture serving as a target, and next to him was a screen displaying the rules of the Immortal Altar.

"Within one second, strike the human-shaped target using your fist, elbow, head, knee, and foot respectively. Your strength will be calculated based on the minimum attack power!"

Bang, bang...

Shen Mu's figure flashed, and he threw out both fists, unleashing a series of ethereal fist shadows.

On the screen next to him, Shen Mu's exertion results also appeared: "47 units, 50 units, 49 units, 57 units, 53 units, score is '47 units', points earned 0".

The Immortal Altar, with its 100-unit achievement, represents perfect control over one's entire body's power, and its point reward is far lower than that of the Sky Bridge and the Illusionary Sea.

Exerting 50 units of force rewards you with 1,000 points. Exerting 60 units rewards you with 2,000 points, and so on, doubling each time. Exerting 100 units of force will directly reward you with 50,000 points.

(Any score below 50 units will be 0 points)

"If I adjust my mindset, I should be able to get the 50-unit power bonus today."

……

In the real world, the nutrient capsules were also delivered to Shen Mu's courtyard.

It is estimated that it will take about three months to evolve from the first level of the universe to the ninth level of the universe. During these three months, Shen Mu plans to immerse himself in the Immortal Altar and the Illusionary Sea.

In fact, over the years, Shen Mu has never tested what level his willpower has reached.
