Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 51: The Star Level!

Alternative options?

With Jiang Zhe's discerning eye, the treasures that could be included in the shortlist must possess the potential to rival the "Heart of Space"!

At his current level, is it really possible for him to get in touch with them?

Believe it or not, there really is!

It's that divine crystal we got when we chopped down the tree for the second time!

Having had it for so long, it was only during the first contact that it bestowed upon me a little bit of its essence, transforming my soul... no, I should say my true spirit?

The concept of a soul is too superficial; it should be something deeper.

Just like the beings born in the Three Realms, their comprehension and talent surpass those of ordinary life.

After that, the divine crystal had no other reaction, except that holding it would give a slight boost to one's comprehension.

In the vast world of Wilderness, only two of its uses are mentioned briefly.

It was allowed to absorb chaotic energy and evolve, giving birth to a group of innate gods and demons. Then, the most powerful world god among them created a chaotic world.

Divine Crystals: The core of a chaotic world!

If I offer it as a sacrifice to the primordial universe, will it call me "Daddy" and then bestow upon me the ultimate [clone] technique?

Jiang Zhe shook his head. Only a fool would give that away, right?

Secondly, the Divine Crystal, also known as the Heart of the World, is the core material for cultivating the Thousand Body Sacred Scripture.

Subsidiary clone?

A second primordial spirit?

The two may seem similar, but they are actually fundamentally different!

Can this thing really be used as a vessel for a second primordial spirit?

Perhaps, it's feasible...

But without trying, Jiang Zhe cannot give a definite answer.

In the primordial world, the second primordial spirit is an energy body, and can only cultivate the path of Qi refining.

In the world system of "Swallowing the Stars", the second primordial spirit is an energy life form, similar to the type of the Demon Slayer race.

According to the correction of the supreme rules or the original will, the second primordial spirit carrier will most likely become his life crystal core.

Daring to use the very essence of a world as the core of life?

Is there anyone who would dare to imagine such a crazy act?

Yes, there was indeed someone who had a similar idea and tried to possess the original universe, but his account has now been banned.

In fact, Jiang Zhe had thought of the Divine Crystal when he obtained the "Second Elemental Mystic Arts".

"I didn't dare to try before, nor did I want to think about it too much, because cultivating the second primordial spirit couldn't afford to fail, but now it's different, I have a backup plan..."

If a fragment of a soul is cut from the soul using a secret technique, it will disintegrate if it is not immediately placed into a vessel for nurturing.

The sudden loss of a soul could cause a huge problem!

The best outcome would be that he loses part of his personality, becoming cold, neurotic, and like an extreme madman.

"Obtaining the Thunder Glass Source Mother gives me a way out."

"If the divine crystal cannot serve as a vessel, immediately throw the split soul into the Thunder Crystal Mother. The second primordial spirit can still be born normally, but its potential will be reduced by a significant amount."

"Anyway, it's basically impossible to obtain a primal treasure like the 'Heart of Space'..."

"Why not take a gamble!"

Jiang Zhe felt like a fire was burning inside him, eager to get started.

Close the metal box, have Oriana reactivate the smart lock, and then use her telekinesis to send it back into the glass display case on the square platform.

The glass door closed and locked, and the platform slowly descended.

Jiang Zhe watched quietly as the metal box descended to the ground, his excited emotions gradually calming down.

When you see it again, it's time to prepare to use the second elemental mysticism.

After carefully examining the contents of the spatial bracelet, Jiang Zhe reappeared in the room.

He needs to adjust his upcoming training plan.

"First, cultivate the Second Elemental Mystic Art to complete the transformation of your soul. Then, raise your martial arts cultivation to the eighth level of the Planetary level as soon as possible. At that time, the sphere of mental power in your sea of ​​consciousness will shatter, and you can try to advance to the first level of the Constant level."

"That's the perfect time to divide the soul!"

"Relying solely on the Thunder Prison Realm absorbing Thunder Vine Blood Crystals to improve? That's too slow. It also needs a digestion process. Reaching the eighth rank of the Planetary level would probably take... thirty months, which is two and a half years?"

The numbers were a bit sensitive, and Jiang Zhe couldn't help but frown and recalculate.

"If we only consume Thunder Vine Blood Crystals to ensure supply, then... it will take two months to break through each level from 1 to 3; four months to break through each level from 4 to 6; and eight months to break through each level from 7 to 9."

"Hmm...it really has been two years?"

"It sounds slow, but it's actually faster than the advancement speed of a top-tier cosmic bloodline like the Golden Horned Beast, which doesn't eat eggshells."

"How about we buy an E-grade nutrient tank from space? I only need to dismantle 3 to 5 world rings to raise enough money for the goods."

The thought had barely formed when Jiang Zhe shook his head, extinguishing it.

"Of course, we still need to go to the universe. You can't raise a true dragon in shallow water. But it won't be me going; it will be my second primordial spirit. I just need to stay on Earth and cultivate step by step."

Jiang Zhe decided to use thirty months to achieve a breakthrough.

This would give him ample time to prepare, gradually transform his soul, enhance his understanding of the laws, and cultivate various skills... to adapt to the surge in his cultivation level.

It is now 2047, and there are still nearly 20 years until the Genius Battle. There is plenty of time.

Then, it entered the proto-nuclear space.

Sitting on the stone bench, he unfolded the golden leaflet and began to study the secret art of soul transformation.

February 2nd.

In the morning, Jiang Zhe arrived at the main conference hall two hours before lunchtime.

The younger generation had all gathered here in advance, and the house was noisy and filled with laughter.

Jiang Zhe peeked out from the doorway and scanned the room, discovering two unfamiliar female relatives.

One of them is the second brother's fiancée, from the Ye family of the HR Alliance.

The other is a little girl who was brought here for martial arts enlightenment half a month ago.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the atmosphere in the room fell silent. Lei Lei turned around in surprise and met Jiang Zhe's gaze.

The former immediately shrank back, as if he had seen some terrifying monster.

The latter asked in bewilderment, "It's a family banquet, what are you doing here?"

"Thor and I are like brothers, and she's your aunt. Is it strange that she's here? Hurry up and greet her. Don't be so disrespectful."

The old man's voice came from behind.

Jiang Zhe's lips twitched, sensing something was amiss. Without dodging, he was kicked into the living room by the old man.

"I haven't seen you for half a month, and when I got here I found you blocking the door, looking all nonchalant. It makes me so angry!"

Jiang Zhe patted his bottom, gave the old man a couple of apologetic smiles, and casually pulled over a chair to sit down.

He thought to himself, "This old man, it's been half a month, and he's still not over it? All he did was scare those girls and then chase them away."

"Tone down that fierce tiger attitude of yours, and don't make eye contact with that young girl, lest you leave her with psychological trauma."

Jiang Zhe was taken aback. Was he sending a secret telepathic message?

"It's the old man's," he replied.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"I only wore a tiny bit, how did she know?"

"This is also related to the mental cultivation you mentioned. Lei Lei has practiced yoga since she was a child and is most skilled at meditation, which has made her extremely sensitive."

"A little bit of aura that you inadvertently reveal will be magnified many times, even dozens of times, in her perception... as conspicuous as a fly on a bald man's head."

It sounds like some kind of variant of the concept of "harmony between man and nature," only much more immature.

While pondering the question in his mind, he replied aloud, "Oh, I see."

He then had a sudden thought and shed the trace of the ferocious tiger aura that he so greatly admired.

Harmony with light and dust.

In an instant, it becomes as inconspicuous as a stubborn rock, diminishing its own presence.

These are all subtle applications of his mental cultivation, which are quite different from the three mental states of the three giants of Earth.

He used his mental powers to monitor Lei Lei's actions.

The moment he let go of his imposing manner, the other person's tense body did indeed relax, appearing much more natural.

What a bizarre direction for developing a mindset!

[The cicadas sense the autumn wind before it blows]?

A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall.

[On a whim]?

……

It seems that the development of Hong and Thor's third and second mental states in the original work was still insufficient.

The first level of mental state has an exaggerated effect on promoting the transformation and improvement of will, so there's no reason why the second and third levels should be inferior.

Ultimately, it must be a problem of "people".

"It's been half a month, how's your physical training going?"

After the family dinner, Jiang Zhe approached Lei Lei privately and politely inquired about her well-being.

"It's alright, my punching power is already over 400 kilograms." The little girl was a bit afraid of him and replied timidly.

"Take these two things." Jiang Zhe handed her two rings.

ring?

Two?

The precocious Lei Lei's face flushed bright red instantly, like a boiled crab, with steam practically rising from her head.

"Uh... what are you thinking about?" Jiang Zhe glared at her. "These are for your father and your Uncle Hong."

"The two of them? The ring? No, that can't be!"

Lei Lei's face instantly turned cold, from crimson to deathly pale. Even those masters of intangible cultural heritage face-changing would have to admit defeat to her.

Jiang Zhe: ? ? ?

His expression at that moment was just like that of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

Girl, you have a problem!

This is a big problem!

Why do you always think about romance? No wonder your first boyfriend was killed by Thor when you were sixteen...

"Once it's in their hands, they'll naturally know what it is and how to use it."

After saying that, Jiang Zhe threw out the two spatial rings and turned to leave.

Two rings hit Lei Lei on the head, waking her up. She hurriedly caught the rings that bounced up from either side.

One was black, the other blue, with labels on them bearing the names of Thor and Hong.

Inside were some of his finds from the World Bracelet: a third-tier Force weapon/suit, common secret techniques recorded in the unowned AI program, and cultivation resources to accelerate life evolution...

After returning to the courtyard.

Jiang Zhe invoked the intelligent program to report on the situation inside the virtual world, the Martial Arts Hall.

Adjust the training direction for Earth's elites, then send Alpha to replace the intelligent program in charge of the martial arts academy, and they can bury themselves in the world bracelet and cultivate diligently.

That evening, Hong and Lei Shen received the items and called to inquire and express their gratitude.

Orianna's clone, who was outside, informed the two that Jiang Zhe had begun seclusion for cultivation, and it was uncertain when he would be able to re-establish contact with the outside world.

He continued his practice step by step until thirty months later.

2049, April 8.

The purple-gold sphere of mental energy in Jiang Zhe's sea of ​​consciousness shattered with a roar, unleashing a storm of mental energy. The nine miniature planets trembled and expanded to their limit before exploding violently.

A terrifying vortex appeared in the center of the mind, sucking up the violent mental energy, and finally collapsed, condensing into a blazing "fireball".

I'm not entirely satisfied with this chapter, but I still have to post it.

Apart from a little water, there are no other major problems.

I'm really out of sorts today. I was so tired yesterday that I haven't recovered at all. I didn't wake up until 3 p.m. and I feel completely listless.

My legs are sore from all the torture, sob sob sob.

The bone below my left ankle on the inside of my foot is extremely painful.
