Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 182 Arrival in the Initial Universe

Time flies, and month after month passes by.

During their time on the spaceship, Luo Xia and Luo Feng immersed themselves in cultivation.

In the training ground of Manor No. 113 in the Primitive Zone.

Rorschach, dressed in loose training clothes, sat cross-legged on the lawn, his face expressionless.

He is reviewing all the battles in the Battle of the Geniuses.

As he reviewed the process, he further refined the secret techniques he had already mastered.

As Babata said, most of the secret techniques he has created are sufficient for his use.

Furthermore, these secret techniques can become even stronger as his cultivation level breaks through.

Why is this happening?

This is actually related to the relationship between the fundamental laws and the secret methods.

For example—

The fundamental laws, in essence, are just like the mathematical truths on Earth; they have existed since the beginning of the universe.

Secret methods are equivalent to various formulas.

What Luo Xia and his fellow martial artists and mentalists need to do is, after comprehending the "mathematical truth," to unleash the power of the "truth" using better "formulas"!

The more useful a "formula" is, the more it can unleash the power of "mathematical truth"!

This also means that the stronger the secret technique!

Because both the fundamental laws of wind and metal have been acknowledged.

Rorschach is now focusing most of his energy on the laws of space and time.

As for the Law of Thunder, I haven't deliberately tried to comprehend it.

After all, it takes too much energy.

Even if he has extraordinary comprehension, his personal energy is still limited.

In the original story, Bolan fell behind because of one wrong step, and was eventually surpassed by his elder brother Luo Feng.

Rorschach would never make such a stupid mistake.

The reason I tried to comprehend the Law of Thunder in the early stages was because I had not yet comprehended the Law of Time.

Now that we've entered the threshold of the laws of time, we naturally have to make choices!

A year has passed quickly.

Luo Xia has finally succeeded in creating the Demon Slayer Clan clone that he conceived using the Golden Horned Beast's clone!

As can be seen, within the inner world of the Golden Horned Beast's avatar, on a golden continent spanning over 800 kilometers in length and width, a black crystal core with 10081 facets has formed.

The moment the black crystal core was formed, it surged with energy and then transformed into the shape of Rorschach.

"Hmm... such strong spatial fluctuations!"

When Luo Xia's consciousness descended upon the Demon Slayer Clan clone, he immediately sensed intense spatial fluctuations, even stronger than when he usually comprehended the laws of space.

"As expected of a darling of the laws of space... This spatial talent is just too powerful."

Rorschach was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, his extraordinary comprehension began to take effect.

With the help of the spatial talent brought by his Demon Slayer Clan clone, his understanding and comprehension of the laws of space gradually deepened!

The real world.

In the lounge where Rorschach was, the space was like a lake rippling in the wind.

Rorschach, at the center of the ripples, is like a fish in a lake.

buzzing-

This spatial fluctuation is extremely intense.

Even Sha Wu, the Realm Lord who was cultivating in his own rest room, could feel the commotion caused by Luo Xia.

"Such powerful spatial laws..."

Sha Wu looked surprised, carefully sensed the surroundings, and then said thoughtfully:

"This direction... leads to His Highness's resting room. Could it be that His Highness has made further progress in the laws of space?!"

He looked in the direction of Rorschach's lounge, secretly surprised:

"This definitely indicates further advancement in the laws of space; otherwise, such intense spatial fluctuations wouldn't have occurred... Prince Luo Xia truly deserves his reputation as a peerless genius who gained recognition from the fundamental laws at the Hengxing level! He's incredibly powerful!"

Luo Feng, on the other side, was also awakened by this fluctuation.

He was surprised for a moment, and then thought: The strong spatial fluctuations must mean that Xia's Demon Slayer Clan clone has been successfully conceived.

He entered the virtual universe and sent a message to Rorschach to inquire.

Before long, Luo Xia replied: the Demon Slayer Clan clone had been successfully conceived.

With the addition of a clone of the Demon Slayer Clan, Luo Xia's comprehension of spatial laws became even more efficient.

Now, his daily comprehension of spatial laws is ten times more efficient than before!

"I can begin cultivating the third level of Absolute Space..."

The original area, Manor No. 113, training ground.

Luo Xia muttered to himself as he began to dodge and weave, practicing the third level of "Absolute Space".

Absolute Space has three levels.

The first layer is called "Arc Light," and its effect is to leave two illusory figures in space.

The second layer is called "Ever-Changing" and its effect is to leave thousands upon thousands of illusory bodies in the space.

The third level is called "Teleportation," which, as the name suggests, allows the physical body to traverse space and move instantly!

The secret technique "Absolute Space" was originally only achievable by the Golden Horned Beast.

However, Rorschach used his own comprehension to optimize it into a secret method that could also be cultivated by humans and other life forms.

As Rorschach continued to use the secret technique of "Absolute Space," his understanding of the laws of space deepened.

And so, another two years passed.

Inside the spaceship's main hall, Luo Xia and Luo Feng, dressed neatly, sat on the sofa.

Standing before them was an old man, none other than the Realm Lord Sha Wu.

Sha Wu respectfully said, "Your Highness Luo Xia, Your Highness Luo Feng, we are about to arrive at the company headquarters."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the intelligent voice of the spaceship rang out in the hall—

"Initiating interstellar travel, entering the original universe."

"10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!"

Rorschach only felt a slight tremor in the spaceship before it returned to normal.

Luo Feng, who was standing next to him, said, "Turn on 100% outdoor simulation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall became transparent and disappeared from sight.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng looked ahead of the spaceship and saw a vast supercontinent floating in the deep starry sky, a dreamlike expanse of stars.

"..." Luo Xia and Luo Feng were stunned.

To be honest, during their years of exploring the universe, they have also seen many cosmic wonders.

However, when a supercontinent, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of times larger than countless stars and planets, floats in the sky, the awe it evokes is truly indescribable.

Looking out, you can see some stars and planets floating on the edge of the supercontinent. However, these stars and planets are as small as sesame seeds on the edge of the supercontinent!

Sha Wu smiled at Luo Xia and Luo Feng and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of the company's headquarters?"

Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Sha Wu, how big is the headquarters?"

Sha Wu said, "Without using space travel to enter the dark universe, it would take at least several decades to travel from one side of headquarters to the other using a spaceship!"

Rorschach said, "So, this supercontinent before us is at least tens of light-years in diameter?"

Sha Wu nodded.

Luo Feng then asked, "Where did such a large landmass come from? Could such a large landmass really form naturally in the universe?"

Shawu shook his head. "I don't know the answer to that question either."

Luo Feng blinked, and seeing that Sha Wu couldn't answer, he didn't press the matter further.

After leaving the dark universe, the spaceship flew for about thirteen hours before arriving at one of the headquarters' entrances.

The spacecraft then flew through the entrance passage for several minutes before gradually slowing down and finally coming to a stop.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng, accompanied by Realm Lord Sha Wu and others, flew out of the spaceship's hatch.

Outside, more than ten men and women in uniforms were waiting.

Upon seeing Luo Feng and Luo Xia, they immediately stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Highness Luo Xia, Your Highness Luo Feng, we are here waiting on the orders of the Venerable One. Please come with us now."

Two people stepped out from the group and led Luo Xia and Luo Feng forward.

"Thanks, Shawu!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng waved to Sha Wu as a farewell.

Realm Lord Sha Wu looked at the two brothers and smiled, saying, "It is my honor to accompany Your Highnesses for three years."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng followed the guide and soon arrived at a corridor where four or five people were waiting. Upon seeing Luo Xia and Luo Feng, they all stepped forward and said:

"Could it be His Highness Luo Feng?"

"Is this Prince Rorschach?"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng nodded with slight confusion.

"Your Highnesses, these are the items you exchanged in the treasury. As per your request, the transaction will be completed here at headquarters."

The five people immediately took out several boxes from their storage space.

After examining the items, Luo Xia and Luo Feng put away the items they had exchanged.

Then they continued to follow the guide.

"Big brother, what did you buy?" Rorschach asked.

Luo Feng said, "Some treasures for cultivating the Cloud-Piercing Vine, and some battle swords and equipment. What about you?"

"I also bought some treasures and weapons for cultivating the Moyun Vine," Rorschach replied.

Luo Feng said, "If points could be transferred like money, I would have transferred my points to you so you could redeem them for me."

"Indeed, I need fewer points to redeem it."

Rorschach said.

Because he is a member of the Primal Realm, he enjoys a 30% discount on exchange prices in the treasure vault.

Luo Feng, being a member of the Primordial Secret Realm, only received a 20% discount.

As they spoke, they followed the guide into an oval-shaped hall.

The hall is transparent both around and above.

You can see the boundless starry sky when you look up.

Many people were already waiting in the hall. When they saw Luo Xia and Luo Feng, they all greeted them with smiles.

"Rorschach!"

"Luo Feng!"

"You two brothers have finally arrived!"

Luo Feng greeted them with a smile, "Uka, Longyun, when did you arrive?"

People often communicate in the virtual universe and have become familiar with each other.

We became good friends.

When people meet and greet each other, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Uka laughed and said, "We've only been here a short time."

Luo Xia glanced around and asked, "Rong Jun hasn't arrived yet?"

Long Yun said, "He should be here soon."

Long Yun was the genius who defeated Luo Feng in the Genius Battle. He wore a horned helmet and had a muscular build.

"Hey!" Rorschach saw Berlan and greeted him, "Why are you sitting here all alone?"

Berlan was looking out the window, lost in thought, when he heard Luo Xia's words. He turned around and said indifferently, "I don't want to talk."

"Tsk, what a silent type."

Luo Xia shook his head and casually found a seat nearby.

Although he and Bolan were both members of the Primal Secret Realm, they were not familiar with each other.

For the past three years, they have spent most of their time cultivating in their respective training grounds.

When Berlan saw that Rorschach stopped talking, he turned his head to look out the window again.

Bored, Luo Xia took out his phone and started playing games.

Although there are many more technologically advanced products in the universe than mobile phones, Rorschach is used to using mobile phones.

"Hey bro, wanna play a round?"

He asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. He took out his phone and said, "Okay, let's play a round then."

He just asked Uka.

Many geniuses haven't arrived yet; they'll have to wait here for at least six hours before they can set off.

Since I have nothing to do, I might as well play some games.

As for cultivation... please, there's really no need to spend six hours cultivating.

"What are you two playing?"

Prince Uka of Manka Star came over and asked.

"It's a game from our hometown," Luo Xia said, pulling Luo Feng into the room to start a duo match.

Uka watched with interest for a while, then lost interest.

With their current strength, playing these games is too easy for them; they can easily crush their opponents.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Playing it occasionally always reminds them of the fond memories of the three brothers playing games together at home and teasing each other.

The two brothers were happily rubbing the screen.

Every game was a massacre, a godlike performance, unstoppable... the opponents were left questioning their existence.

Those people probably never imagined that the people playing games with them would be two individuals who had won first place and ranked in the top ten of the All-Universe Genius Battle.

Before they knew it, all 1000 contestants for this year's Genius Battle had arrived.

"Everyone, please follow me."

In the hall, a man dressed in a simple white robe appeared out of nowhere.

His voice was hoarse.

As he spoke, he unleashed a powerful force that enveloped Luo Xia and the others, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the horizon. Several minutes later, he landed beside a strange spaceship.

Luo Xia looked at the spaceship in front of him with curiosity.

Why do we say this spaceship is strange?

From the outside, the entire spaceship resembles a live fish, with its massive tail fin still swaying slightly.

"This is a spaceship that has been integrated with other life forms."

Babata's voice suddenly rang out, explaining to Luo Xia, "Judging from the appearance of this fish, it should be a special life form at the immortal level! Its fusion with the spaceship has allowed it to surpass F-class and reach G-class!"

Luo Xia clicked his tongue in amazement. "Wow... a G-class spaceship fused with an immortal-level life form. Amazing..."

"Everyone, please board the spaceship."

The man in the simple white robe spoke.

So Rorschach and the others began boarding the spaceship.

Soon after, they arrived at a large hall on the spaceship.

More than ten immortal beings stood in this hall.

Just as Luo Xia and the others were about to pay their respects, a tremendous pressure suddenly descended.

After this oppressive aura appeared, the dozen or so immortal beings and the man in white robes all bowed slightly.

Luo Xia looked closely and finally saw the Nine Swords Venerable standing in front of more than ten immortal beings!

Although the Nine Swords Venerable stood there, he gave people a sense of emptiness, as if he were not a real person, but some kind of virtual projection.

He glanced at Luo Xia and the others, and said calmly, "Let's go to the Initial Universe."

Boom...

As the Nine Swords Venerable spoke, Luo Xia, with a flick of his fish-like spaceship's tail fin, vanished from the spot in an instant.

Inside the spaceship's main hall.

Luo Xia and the others didn't dare to utter a sound.

The Nine Swords Venerable's life level was too high; he didn't intentionally exert any pressure.

But the aura that emanated naturally made Luo Xia and the others look up to him.

This is the surrender of life's instinct!

I don't know how long we flew, but suddenly, a loud shout, like a thunderclap, came from outside—

"stop!"

The spaceship did not activate the exterior simulation.

So Luo Xia and the others didn't know what had happened.

After that voice came, the spaceship seemed to stop, and then the Nine Swords Venerable said calmly, "It is I. Open the cosmic passage."

The sound traveled through the spaceship and reached the outside world.

boom!

A deep voice sounded from the outside, and then the spaceship continued its journey.

Sudden--

Luo Feng and the others in the hall began to feel waves of discomfort.

"I feel so uncomfortable."

"What happened?"

Why is this happening?

As for Luo Xia, his feeling was somewhat strange. It wasn't that he felt unwell, but rather a peculiar feeling that he couldn't quite explain.

This feeling is like déjà vu, as if he woke up one day and realized that he had done all the things he had done before.

It's quite amazing.

The Nine Swords Venerable glanced at Luo Xia with slight surprise, then addressed the other struggling geniuses:

"We are currently in the passage between the initial universe and the primordial universe. Because the flow of time is different on both sides, the flow of time within the passage is disordered, which is why you are suffering so much."

"The flow of time...?"

Luo Xia suddenly sat down cross-legged, and to the astonishment of the Nine Swords Venerable, a hazy, dreamlike glow began to emanate from his body, like tentacles, and the aura of the laws of time spread out.

Nine Swords Venerable was secretly astonished. "Is this the genius who cleared all seven trial towers? While other geniuses were suffering from the distortion of time flow, he gained a deeper understanding of the laws of time..."

The other geniuses also saw Luo Xia's actions at this moment.

They could hardly believe it.

Especially Bolan, watching Rorschach sit cross-legged and begin to comprehend the laws of time, his cold eyes held a complex mix of emotions, "This guy..."

It took about five or six minutes for Luo Feng and the others to return to normal.

Many geniuses lay on the hall floor, pale-faced, some even shedding tears.

Once things returned to normal, they all stood up with embarrassed expressions, wiped away their tears, and became expressionless.

buzzing...

Luo Xia sat cross-legged in the hall, his body shrouded in a hazy glow that seemed to extend in all directions like tentacles, and a rich aura of the laws of time permeated his body.

Everyone was shocked.

After a while, Luo Xia opened his eyes and woke up from his state of enlightenment.

"Damn! I'm so envious!"

Prince Uka of Manka exclaimed enviously, "We're all dizzy from the chaotic flow of time, but you, on the contrary, have taken this opportunity to gain further insight into the laws of time! Your comprehension is just too good!"

The other geniuses nodded in agreement.

They've never seen a monster like Rorschach!

Luo Xia stood up, smiled slightly at everyone, and said modestly, "I've gained a little, I've gained a little..."

Nine Swords Venerable glanced at Luo Xia, but didn't say anything more. He simply reminded everyone, "Alright, we have now entered the Initial Universe."

"The initial universe?"

"Have we arrived in the initial universe?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention shifted away from Rorschach.
