Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 289 The Shocked Nine Swords Venerable

"Venerable One, are you going out?"

Seeing that he came out from halfway up the mountain, Luo Xia asked him this question.

The Nine Swords Venerable snapped out of his reverie, looked at Luo Xia, and after a long pause, said, "Ah... um. I was just about to visit a friend. Luo Xia, are you heading back to your palace?"

"No, my brother also settled down halfway up the mountain, I'm going to find him."

Rorschach answered with a smile.

He and the Nine Swords Venerable can be considered to have a connection.

Last time he met the Nine Swords Venerable halfway up Thunder Island, and this time he saw him again outside his elder brother's palace. He's really a veteran extra...

The Nine Swords Venerable raised an eyebrow and said, "Your eldest brother? I met him before. I heard he's your teacher, and they arranged for him to stay on the mountainside."

He paused, then looked at Rorschach and continued:

"Luo Xia, not to be rude, but we approved of you getting the right to live on the mountainside when you were still at the Immortal level. After all, you had already shown Venerable-level combat power back then. But now, your older brother has only just entered the Immortal realm, and it's still unknown whether his strength is at the Venerable level. Your teacher's arrangement like this will probably make many people dissatisfied..."

Luo Xia sensed the dissatisfaction in the Nine Swords Venerable's tone.

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

After all, his elder brother had not yet proven his strength, but he had moved to the mountainside of Thunder Island. It was normal for the cosmic venerables and the cosmic lords who cared about honor and status to be dissatisfied.

But...

"Nine Swords Venerable, are you aware that my teacher's strength is that of a Lord of the Universe?" Luo Xia suddenly asked.

The Nine Swords Venerable frowned. "What do you mean?"

Luo Xia smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to say that my teacher, as the Lord of the Universe, judged that my elder brother's current strength is comparable to that of a Universe Venerable. As a Venerable, are you going to doubt my teacher's judgment?"

As he spoke, Luo Xia revealed a hint of the aura of a master of the universe.

Although his physical attributes were the same as those of the Nine Swords Venerable in the virtual universe, their souls were worlds apart. Now, Luo Xia had only revealed a trace of the soul aura of a universe master, which made the Nine Swords Venerable frown even more deeply.

"This is... the aura of a cosmic ruler!?"

The Nine Swords Venerable stared at Luo Xia in astonishment, "You're already the Lord of the Universe?!"

"Hehe." Luo Xia chuckled, not directly responding to the Nine Swords Venerable, but simply nodded slightly and said, "I'm going to my elder brother's palace now. We'll talk again when we have time, Venerable."

After saying that, Luo Xia flew directly towards the mountainside of Thunder Island.

Nine Swords Venerable stood frozen in place, staring at Luo Xia's departing figure, speechless with astonishment.

He had only one thought in his mind: How is this possible? How many years have passed? How could Rorschach have become the ruler of the universe? This is impossible!

It should be noted that he was the champion of the Genius Battle back then, but after joining the Virtual Universe Company, it took him tens of millions of years and countless years to become a Universe Venerable!

And even now, he is still stuck at the level of a cosmic venerable, not even a cosmic overlord!

Luo Xia is younger than him; how old is he now? Less than 80,000 years have passed since he joined the Virtual Universe Company. How could he possibly become the Lord of the Universe before him?

"I must have misperceived..."

Nine Swords Venerable subconsciously shook his head, then muttered to himself. Now he didn't even want to think about Luo Feng anymore; all he could think about was Luo Xia's calm smile before he left.

"How could someone become the master of the universe in less than 100,000 years... Impossible, I must be mistaken!"

As if trying to convince himself, the Nine Swords Venerable muttered to himself again before flying toward his friend's location.

As for Luo Xia, he had already arrived at his elder brother Luo Feng's temple.

His temple was built in the style of Tang Dynasty architecture on Earth, and it looks extremely grand and magnificent.

When Rorschach landed in front of the temple, an immortal deity immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Lord Rorschach, you've arrived. Please come in. My master is currently with Lord Berlan, Lord Aichen, and Lord Uka."

This immortal deity was an alien immortal whom Luo Feng enslaved in the Star Tower, and his strength was at the peak of the King level.

"Have Berlan and the others arrived yet?"

Rorschach nodded and, guided by the immortal deity, headed towards the temple.

"Your temple is truly enormous..."

"I wonder when we'll be able to have our own temple halfway up this mountain."

"It will be available soon."

Before Luo Xia even saw the person, his keen ears had already heard the sounds coming from the main hall.

After entering the heavy gate, Luo Xia saw his elder brother Luo Feng and the others sitting in the main hall, enjoying tea and chatting.

"Big brother! Berlan!" Luo Xia greeted as he walked over, "Aichen, Uka, it's been a long time."

Let's review: Ai Chen is a genius from the same year's Genius Battle as Luo Xia and Luo Feng. She is a Dream Winged Clan girl with wings on her back and a crystal between her eyebrows. She has an exquisite appearance and a noble temperament. She is someone who could play the role of an angel god on Earth.

"Rorschach, what have you been doing all these years?" Uka greeted him with a smile. "I haven't seen you for tens of thousands of years."

"Haha, just like my brother, I've been searching for a breakthrough opportunity all these years." Luo Xia laughed as he sat down next to Luo Feng. After answering Uka's question, he asked his elder brother, "By the way, where's Rong Jun? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Berlan said, "He probably won't be able to come. More than a thousand years ago, he entered a secret cosmic realm, and there has been no news of him since."

He shook his head at this point, "I wonder how he is doing now..."

Luo Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "He should be fine. He's Rong Jun, after all."

Luo Xia remembered that in the final chapter of the original novel, Rong Jun had become the Lord of the Universe, so he shouldn't have perished midway.

"Where are Qian Shui and Jiang Mo? I haven't seen the two siblings either?" Luo Xia asked again.

Quite a few people were absent this time.

"Qianshui and Jiangmo's situation is the same as Rongjun's." This time, it was Aichen, who was like an angel, who answered Luo Xia. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and her red lips were smooth. "Eight hundred years ago, Qianshui and Jiangmo entered a secret cosmic realm, and there has been no news of them since."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia frowned slightly.

Luo Feng winked at him.

Luo Xia nodded to himself and inquired about the situation of Rong Jun, Qian Shui, and Jiang Mo from the Primal Universe.

He soon got the answer.

Rong Jun and the other two were all fine in the secret realm, but their situation was rather dangerous, so they couldn't afford to be distracted by entering the virtual universe.

At this moment, Berlan suddenly looked at Rorschach and asked, "You said you've been searching for a breakthrough opportunity for the past tens of thousands of years... Could it be that you've already broken through to become the Lord of the Universe?"

Luo Xia smiled and nodded. "In fact, I had already successfully broken through before I came here."

hiss--!

Upon hearing this, Berlan and the others were stunned.

They all stared blankly at Luo Xia.

Suddenly, they broke through?!

Does this mean that Rorschach is now the ruler of the universe?!
