Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 148 I like this plan!

On the plain, everyone was watching the Ninth Prince Brolin, who was standing in mid-air.

At this moment, a member of the Hundred Tigers Pavilion suddenly flew up, looked at Brolin, and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, you want to devour the treasures of this Realm Within a Realm all by yourself? Isn't that a bit too much—"

laugh!

Before the man could finish speaking, a blinding white light suddenly shot out, piercing through the burly young man and instantly turning his head into nothingness.

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone watched as the headless corpse fell from the sky, then looked towards the Ninth Prince.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone was shocked.

"That was too fast!" Luo Feng said in a low voice, surprised. "That laser weapon seemed to have no charging time; it exploded instantly."

"It is terrifying, even for me." Luo Xia's expression was solemn. "Without activating my domain, I might not be able to completely dodge it."

In the sky, behind the Ninth Prince Brolin stood nine bodyguards.

Each of the nine people was holding a laser gun that was about three meters long and had a caliber of about thirty centimeters.

Brolin's expression was calm, with a slight smile on his lips.

Let me introduce myself to you.

"These are C2-level laser guns. There are nine of them in total. They are the latest models, and I just got them recently."

"As for its power..."

He glanced at the leaders of the various factions, his smile utterly cold. "Not that big, just enough to take down a second-tier universe expert with a single shot."

Brolin spread his hands, looking innocent. "I came to Thunder World for an apprenticeship assessment this time, and for safety, I brought a few weapons with me. I never expected to encounter something like a 'world within a world'."

He looked down at everyone like a god looking down upon all living beings. "Now, does anyone object to what I just said?"

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Weapons of grade C or higher are basically unavailable for purchase.

Because weapons above Class C are restricted, and without any means or channels, it is simply impossible to purchase them.

And even if you could buy it, it would be incredibly expensive!

A C2-level laser gun is not much cheaper than a second-tier cosmic slave.

"Very good, it seems no one objects and they are all cooperating with me... the laser gun in my hand."

With a smug smile, Brolin led his men in a swooping descent towards the castle.

Although some people from other factions hesitated, they still followed.

Luo Xia and his group followed Bei Longcheng.

In the group, Luo Feng said with some helplessness, "This Ninth Prince has nine C2-level laser guns, making him practically invincible here. It seems the treasure is really going to be his alone. Moreover, given his status, even if he leaves here, those domain lords and realm lords will probably give him face and won't try to steal his treasure."

Luo Xia narrowed his eyes and said, "There might be a retaliation..."

As they were talking, the Ninth Prince Brolin had already led his men to the front of the deep blue castle.

He slightly extended his hand, and the more than six hundred people following him stopped.

Then Brolin, accompanied by nine bodyguards, stepped forward and walked step by step toward the castle under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people.

"Sambi, open the castle for me."

Brolin directed a bodyguard to step forward and open the castle.

No one knows what lies behind this castle, or what dangers lurk there.

Someone like Brolin would naturally not put himself in danger, so he would instruct his bodyguards to open the door.

The bodyguard, whose body was being directed, was completely encased in an alloy battle suit. He cautiously stepped forward and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, walked step by step toward the castle gate that might have stood there for tens of millions of years.

Sambi wasn't far from the city gate; it was only a few steps before he arrived at the castle entrance.

He placed his hands on the heavy city gate.

At this moment, everyone was staring wide-eyed as Sambi opened the city gates.

Brolin was extremely excited. Once the city gates opened, all the treasures in this world within a world would be his!

As Sambi exerted his strength, the city gate trembled slightly, and various bits of dust fell from it.

However, in the next second, bolts of electricity suddenly shot out from all parts of the castle, and a large amount of lightning surrounded the entire castle.

The bodyguards pushing open the city gate barely had time to react before they were instantly entangled by lightning. Before they could even scream, their bodies, at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, were reduced to ashes and vanished with the wind under the entanglement of the lightning.

pat!

The alloy suit, glowing red and hot from the electric shock, fell to the ground.

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene.

"this……"

Brolin was covered in sweat, and almost instinctively, he dodged behind the bodyguards.

"These thunderbolts..."

After returning to his bodyguard's side, Brolin relaxed considerably. He surveyed the deep blue castle, shrouded in lightning, and frowned, saying, "Was this set up to prevent others from obtaining the treasure?"

Judging from the process of Sambi being melted by lightning, it was clear that a ninth-level star was simply unable to withstand such terrifying lightning.

However, Lord Kabu's treasure lies within the castle.

How can we avoid these lightning bolts and get into the castle?

A green-haired woman said to Brolin:

"Your Highness, it will take the adventuring army outside several days to reach the Realm Within a Realm. We have ample time. Here, we hold an absolute advantage. We can observe carefully, and the treasure of this Realm Within a Realm will surely be yours!"

Brolin did not answer the bodyguard's question, but silently watched the large amount of lightning coiling around the deep blue castle.

These lightning bolts were so terrifying that they coiled around the castle like electric snakes, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"This is troublesome." Luo Feng frowned slightly as he watched this scene from afar. "If the lightning on the castle remains, no one can get in."

Just then—

clack clack...

The heavy castle gates slowly opened!

Brolin stared intently at the opened gate. In his view, there was nothing strange at the gate. However, as the gate opened, the lightning that had been swirling around the castle slowly receded, as if it had been taken away by someone.

shhhhhh!

Like a light show in a karaoke bar, beams of light shone from the castle, illuminating the entire castle brightly and dazzlingly. Then, a cheerful and loud voice came from inside the castle!

"Hahaha!"

"Welcome to the Realm Within a Realm!"

"I've been waiting for this day for over ten million years!"

Brolin's bodyguards became alert, carefully raising their laser guns and aiming them at the castle.

If there is any unusual activity in the direction of the castle that threatens Brolin, they will open fire immediately.

Brolin frowned deeply as he listened to the news coming from the castle.

A thought popped into his mind... there might be an unexpected situation with the treasure being monopolized.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, he felt extremely unhappy.

Everyone else was incredibly surprised.

Having lived for tens of millions of years... Could there be an immortal being in this castle?

Some adventurers couldn't help but speculate—

"Could it be that the former Lord Kabu, after becoming an immortal, has been hiding here all this time?"

"Impossible! Is Kabu insane or a monster? How could he possibly seclude himself for tens of millions of years..."

"If it's not Lord Kabu, then who else could it be?"

Babata scoffed, "Who else could it be but intelligent life?"

Luo Feng looked at Babata in surprise, "You mean, there's an intelligent life form like you in the castle?"

"Yes," Babata nodded, "but this intelligent life form has endured tens of millions of years of loneliness, so it may have gone mad. Even if it hasn't gone mad, its mind is definitely twisted."

She warned Luo Xia and Luo Feng, "Be careful, intelligent life forms that go berserk are terrifying."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng nodded and looked towards the castle entrance.

The beams of light on the castle converged and then condensed into a virtual human figure.

It depicted a chubby old man with a white beard.

He hovered in the air, squinting as he surveyed all the adventurers present.

"Little ones, did you come here hoping to obtain the treasures of the Realm Within a Realm?"

"Yes, the master originally placed his treasure in the realm within a realm, and I was put in charge of guarding it."

Before the adventurer could answer, the white-bearded old man began to speak on his own.

"Master has many treasures."

"look!"

He pointed, and a huge three-dimensional virtual projection appeared instantly.

On the projection screen were numerous images of various items.

There are so many photos of all kinds of treasures that it's dazzling.

At the very center of the screen, there is a most eye-catching item: a crystal ball that glows with strange colors!

"The Inheritance Crystal Ball!" Brolin's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed intently on the crystal ball on the screen.

"It's a legacy crystal ball!"

People from other factions also shouted it out.

They had all received guidance from their organization's leaders and knew that this inheritance crystal ball contained the most precious inheritance of Lord Kabu, which was a set of spatial secret techniques.

If the Realm Lord can obtain this set of spatial secret techniques, there is a very high chance that he will be promoted to Immortal!

This is the main reason why those realm lords and domain lords from the outside world send people into the realm within a realm.

The spatial secrets of Lord Kabu are truly invaluable!

If Lord Kabu had survived back then, he could have achieved immortality with that spatial secret technique!

Regardless of the crowd's reactions, the white-bearded old man continued with a smile:

"Master has many treasures."

"I've carefully categorized them; there are a total of 68 types, 312 items!"

"This is the ranking list I compiled."

No. 1 Complete set of spatial secret techniques inherited crystal ball deposited bank account (triple account)

No. 2 Owner's bank account number

No. 3 Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one serving)

No. 4...

No. 68, a fifth-tier Force weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel...

Everyone stared intently at the leaderboard, trembling with excitement as they gazed at the treasures displayed there!

"My God! Even the weakest one here is a fifth-tier Force weapon!"

"If you can get just one of these treasures, you could instantly become the richest person in any ordinary star system after you leave!"

"So many treasures! This is insane! Insane!"

"Is this the foundation of a Realm Lord?!"

"That's terrifying!"

Many people began to whisper excitedly.

Even Babata exclaimed, "This realm lord must have received some immortal legacy! Otherwise, a realm lord's wealth wouldn't be this outrageous! He's incredibly wealthy! The wealthiest realm lord I've ever seen! His wealth rivals that of some of the poorer immortals!"

Above the castle, the white-bearded old man spread his arms wide, a kind smile on his face, "Little ones, do you see clearly? This is the treasure left behind by my master."

He leaned slightly forward and said in an extremely seductive tone, "Do you want them?"

"If you want it, go find it! I've left everything with... cough cough."

Luo Feng glanced at his younger brother speechlessly.

So many years have passed, why are they still using references from comics before Nirvana?

"To be honest, One Piece is really good..." Rorschach said with an awkward laugh.

Luo Feng shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

After Earth entered the Great Nirvana, due to the threat posed by monsters, almost everyone was thinking about how to improve their weapons and equipment, and personal strength. There was much less entertainment, making it unlike the society before the Great Nirvana.

People like Luo Feng grew up watching videos of various martial arts masters.

Comics and the like are far removed from their lives.

Of course, I've heard of the famous comics.

"Would you like to have these treasures?"

The white-bearded old man chuckled, his smile growing increasingly amiable, yet also increasingly chilling.

As everyone held their breath, the white-bearded old man stretched out his hand and shouted:

"You only need to use Thunderstones to exchange for them! Every item here can be exchanged for Thunderstones. Look, each item has a detailed price!"

As he finished speaking, the leaderboard page on the screen changed slightly.

The No.1 complete set of spatial secret technique inheritance crystal ball is stored in the bank's account (triple account). Each account is worth 10 million Thunder Stones. When the three accounts are combined, the inheritance crystal ball can be retrieved from the Universe's No.1 Bank.

No. 2, the owner's bank account, requires 800 million Thunderstones...

No. 3, a Lord-level Bloodline Potion (one serving), each serving contains 300 million Thunderstones...

……

No. 9 Life Fruit (three), each containing 80 Thunderstones...

……

No. 32 D6-level railguns (three), each costing 21 Thunderstones...

……

No. 68, a Tier 5 Force Weapon, the Heavenly Fire Wheel (one piece), each containing 100,000 Thunderstones...

As soon as the entire list was revealed, everyone went wild with excitement once again.

With such clearly marked prices, it means that everyone here, as long as they have a Thunderstone, can obtain the treasures on the list!

"But what is Thunderstone?"

"I've never heard of thunderstone. Is it some kind of very precious stone?"

"It must be very valuable. Perhaps even those at the level of Realm Lord or higher have heard of it?"

Everyone was talking about it, wanting to know what Thunderstone was.

Even though these stones are worthless outside, they are worth a fortune here because they can be exchanged for all sorts of treasures!

The white-bearded old man listened to everyone's discussion with a smile, then said, "It seems everyone is quite curious about what Thunderstone is. Haha, that's a name I came up with myself. This kind of stone only exists in this Realm Within a Realm! It's not a particularly valuable stone."

He tapped his finger, and a picture of Thunderstone immediately appeared on the screen, along with a wealth of detailed information.

When Luo Feng and his group saw the photo of Thunderstone, they were completely dumbfounded.

"Master, you..."

Melissa couldn't help but look at Rorschach with a look of astonishment.

Rorschach smiled and said, "I told you, everything has its reason for existence and its value."

Babata exclaimed wildly from inside the wristband, "Rorschach, you're a genius! A genius among geniuses! Everything has its value and reason for existing! So true! So absolutely right! Hahaha!"

They picked up quite a few Thunderstones on their way to the core area!

Babata's storage space now contains more than 210 million Thunderstones!

Although so many Thunderstones cannot be exchanged for the first three treasures.

However, all the items listed later can be redeemed.

Over there, the white-bearded old man was very considerate, telling everyone, "These thunderstones have a very low energy level, and your energy testing devices may not be able to detect them. To make things easier for you... I've marked out the distribution areas of the thunderstones for you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a map projection appeared in the air.

"This is a simplified map of the boundary within a boundary. It can be roughly divided into 26 areas based on mountains, swamps, deserts, etc."

"The Thunderstones are scattered across these 26 areas, go find them!"

"You can kill each other for Thunderstones, I won't interfere. As long as you have enough Thunderstones, you can trade with me for any treasure you desire!"

The white-bearded old man's smile looked somewhat sinister. "Want the treasure? Then go find the Thunderstone! I'll be waiting for you in the castle!"

After saying that, the old man's image disappeared directly from the sky above the castle.

Brolin stared blankly as the old man's image disappeared. After a long while, he cursed loudly with an extremely ugly expression.

"Grass!"

I thought I could easily take all the treasures here.

As a result, the intelligent life form left behind by the Lord of the Kabu Realm actually pulled this stunt!

This made all his previous efforts go to waste!

As for why they didn't just storm the castle and steal the treasure from the old man...

Do you think those thunderbolts in the castle are just for show?

Brolin was certain that if anyone dared to deviate from the old man's rules, thunder would descend and turn the guy who tried to steal it into ashes!

After the white-bearded old man disappeared, everyone sprang into action, heading to various areas to search for the Thunderstone.

Within the North Dragon City camp, Ao Gu used telepathy to ask, "Master, we currently have over 200 million Thunderstones. Should we continue searching?"

Luo Feng said, "Of course we have to go find it. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. If we dare to go to the castle to exchange for treasures now, everyone here will definitely be watching us. The best time for us to exchange for treasures will be when things get really complicated."

"Besides, the more Thunderstones we find, the more good stuff we can exchange for," Luo Xia said. "Those Tier 5 weapons would fetch a very high price if sold outside. Right now, we only need to contribute some manpower; it's a sure-fire way to make money!"

Babata laughed heartily, "Rorschach is right! Those fifth-tier weapons and such, one of them could probably be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of planets in the outside world!"

Luo Feng then transmitted his voice again, saying, "We need to find an opportunity to break away from the main group..."

Just as they were speaking, many free adventurers in the North Dragon City camp dropped out midway, and the leaders didn't have time to stop them.

These free adventurers nowadays all have their own little schemes.

After all, as long as you have Thunderstones, the opportunity to exchange them for treasures is right in front of you. If you don't take a chance, you'll regret it when you think back on what happened today.

After being separated from the main group for some time, when they passed through a forest, Luo Xia and his five companions quietly left the group.

"Babata, start planning the route. We don't need to go back to the places we've been before. We'll go to all the places we haven't been before."

In the forest, Rorschach spoke to Babata as he flew.

Babata nodded, and with a wave of his hand, immediately projected a virtual map in front of Rorschach, with marked routes on it.

"Follow this route, the route I planned, which combines the distribution map given by that crazy old man. If you go in this direction, there will be far fewer people, and the number of Thunderstones will be quite considerable."

"OK!"

……

Soon after, Rorschach and his group arrived at an area with few people, but according to Babata's scan, this area contained 132010 Thunderstones.

Rorschach and his team began digging frantically.

Both he and his elder brother Luo Feng possessed Moyun Vine, allowing them to mine these Thunderstones very quickly.

After excavating the thunderstone in this area, they rushed to the next area without stopping.

And so, Luo Xia and his companions evaded others within the realm of realms while digging for Thunderstone.

That day, Rorschach and his companions arrived at a range of rolling mountains.

Babata's scan revealed that there were also many Thunderstones in the area, but they had only been digging for a short time when a large wave of adventurers flew over.

Rorschach and his men quickly hid.

They only dared to speak after the group of adventurers flew overhead.

Tie Nanhe said, "Master, there were over a thousand adventurers who just flew over. It seems that those adventurers from the outside world have arrived in the Realm Within a Realm."

Upon hearing this, Rorschach narrowed his eyes and asked Babata, "Babata, how many Thunderstones do we have now?"

Babata said, "More than 290 million."

"I think we can go back and exchange for the treasures now," Rorschach said. "Otherwise, if we go back too late, all the good stuff will have been exchanged."

"Yes, let's go back. With the arrival of the outside army, many people will definitely start entering the castle to exchange items."

Luo Feng nodded and said.

They stopped searching for the Thunderstone and flew directly towards the castle area in the core region.

Along the way, Luo Xia and his companions discovered that with the arrival of an army of over 200 million, this realm within a realm was teeming with people.

In many of the marked areas, people are digging for Thunderstone.

Many people are still vying for Thunderstone.

Soon, Rorschach and his group returned to the core area and saw the deep blue castle.

"This is troublesome..." Luo Feng looked at the numerous star-level adventurers surrounding the castle with a solemn expression. "These guys have surrounded the castle. It seems they don't intend to let anyone outside their organization in to exchange for treasures."

Luo Xia's eyes flickered as he looked at the five factions surrounding the core castle, a hint of helplessness appearing on his face.

He thought for a moment and then said to Luo Feng and the others, "Brother, I'm going to go and see Lord Mingyu."

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded, watching Luo Xia's consciousness sink into the virtual universe.

Upon entering the virtual universe, Luo Xia immediately sent a call request to Ming Yu.

The call was connected quickly.

Ming Yu valued Luo Xia highly. Upon answering the phone, he smiled and asked, "Luo Xia, what happened to you in the Realm Within a Realm?"

"It's like this..." Rorschach bowed slightly to show respect, then said, "I see the castle surrounded by a large number of adventurers. Is this the result of discussions among the various organizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield?"

Mingyu nodded. "You guessed right. Surrounding the castle was indeed a decision made after discussions among the various organizations. They don't want anyone outside their organization to enter the castle to exchange for treasures!"

Rorschach frowned.

Mingyu said, "But you're different. I've already sent your and your brother's information to the allied forces' leader. As long as you mention my name, you can go straight in!"

"Thank you, sir!" Rorschach bowed in thanks.

Mingyu looked at Luo Xia and said, "Judging from your expression, are you going into the castle? How much have you gained?"

Luo Xia shook his head. "Sir, as you know, once this army of over 200 million enters the Realm Within a Realm, a small team of five like mine and my brother's has no chance to struggle."

"That's how it is." Ming Yu nodded slightly and looked at Luo Xia, saying, "But don't be discouraged. Sometimes it's difficult for an individual to fight against the prevailing trend."

"Yes, sir." Luo Xia replied loyally, "My brother and I will do our best! We won't let Lord Mingyu down! Even if it costs us our lives, we will bring back the treasure for you!"

"Haha! That's enough!" Mingyu laughed. "Don't worry, as long as you get the treasure, I'll definitely treat you well!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After the communication ended, Luo Xia shook his head inwardly, looked up at the sky of the virtual universe, and muttered to himself:

We still need to become stronger!

Damn it!

Next time, I'll have someone lick me!

……

Within a world, Rorschach's consciousness returned to his body.

Seeing Luo Xia open his eyes, Luo Feng asked, "How are you?"

"Lord Mingyu said that he has reported our information to the leader of the Allied Forces in the Realm Within a Realm. We can enter directly in his name and no one will stop us."

Rorschach said.

Luo Feng nodded. "Okay, let's head straight there then!"

The five flew toward the allied forces.

"Stop!"

They were stopped as soon as they flew to the entrance of the camp.

"We are under the command of Lord Mingyu of Sanfu Mountain!" Luo Xia stepped forward and said.

"Oh?"

The burly man who blocked Luo Xia and his group narrowed his eyes. His arm beeped, and then a projection appeared, displaying the information and portraits of Luo Xia and his group.

He realized the information matched and immediately smiled, saying, "Haha, so you're brothers from Three Axe Mountain! The Three Axe Mountain men aren't far from here; the five of you can find them by asking around."

Thank you.

Luo Xia expressed his gratitude and then entered the Allied Forces camp with his elder brother Luo Feng.

"Hey, brothers!" the man called out to Luo Xia and his companions from behind, "Do you have any Thunderstones for sale? We're willing to pay 10 Cosmic Crystals for one Thunderstone."

Luo Xia turned around, smiled, and said, "Sorry, my family forbids buying and selling."

"Since your family doesn't know how many Thunderstones you've acquired, why not sell some and exchange them for some Cosmic Crystals?"

"Well... I'll think about it and come back to you later."

With that, Luo Xia and Luo Feng turned around and headed back to the area where Three Axe Mountain was located.

In the following time, Rorschach was not in a hurry to go to the castle to exchange for treasures. Instead, he kept observing and found that many people frequently entered the castle, seemingly to exchange for treasures.

"This is probably a smokescreen, to prevent others from knowing who actually redeemed the treasure."

Luo Feng said.

After saying that, he looked at Luo Xia and said, "When we go in to exchange them later, will we use the same method?"

Luo Xia shook his head. "Brother, there's no point in you and me going in together. On the contrary, if I go in alone, it will be easier to confuse the situation."

Luo Feng stroked his chin. "That makes sense. What treasure are you planning to exchange for when we go in?"

Luo Xia narrowed his eyes and said telepathically, "Exchange all the Life Fruits first."

Luo Feng was taken aback. "Exchange for the Fruit of Life?"

The Fruit of Life is incredibly powerful. Even a dying Realm Lord can be fully restored after consuming a Fruit of Life, essentially gaining a second life!

"Yes, after we exchange for the Life Fruit, we'll find a place to evolve the Cloud Vine on our bodies," Luo Feng said. "I asked Babata, and two Life Fruits are enough for you and my Cloud Vine to evolve to the cosmic level."

Luo Feng realized what was happening, "You mean..."

"We'll evolve the Cloud Vine to the cosmic level first, and then we'll hunt down other people who possess Thunderstones..." Rorschach said.

Luo Feng grinned. "Ha, I like this plan!"

"Hehehe!" Babata laughed adorably from inside the wristband. "I like this plan too!"
