Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 124 The Butterfly Flower and the Cloud Vine

Yang Wu carefully sensed the changes in the surrounding flames and earnestly tried to comprehend them.

It took Yang Wu most of the day to finally snap out of his meditative state.

"Compared to the cultivation environment within the Flaming Mountain, the wondrous flames nurtured in the vast universe are obviously far more numerous. However, those flames are scattered throughout the universe, unlike the flames within the Flaming Mountain, which exhibit such a regular pattern!"

Yang Wu now understood why the Flaming Mountain was so popular.

His speed of comprehending the fire domain within this Flaming Mountain was several times faster than it had been on Earth!

The powerful can comprehend the fire domain and laws anywhere in the universe, with virtually no obstacles or time limits.

But the universe is so vast, and naturally it has many wondrous places that can greatly accelerate the speed of comprehension for the powerful.

Like the primordial universe that only unparalleled geniuses can travel to, such as the Qianwu Secret Realm of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom...

The Flaming Mountain is a rather special place among them. Although it is far inferior to the previous two, it is the best place that Yang Wu can use at this stage to comprehend the Flame Domain.

"It seems I'll be staying here for quite some time!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

This Flaming Mountain is so magical; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll probably stay here until the Battle of the Universe's Unparalleled Geniuses begins.

After all, only by comprehending the laws of fire can one possibly succeed in entering the top one thousand of human geniuses in the entire universe.

Moreover, Yang Wu had already made arrangements for all the troubles that would be encountered on Earth. Once Yang Wu knew the coordinates of the wormhole, it was uncertain whether the remaining Nolan Mountain family fleets from the Hengxing star system could reach Earth.

For Yang Wu, who already possessed hundreds of Chaos Units, the realm within a realm of Thunder Lord was far less important than comprehending the Law of Flame.

"However, I can't let this time go to waste; I need to make some preparations in advance!"

Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Yang Wu's consciousness entered the virtual universe.

……

Flaming Mountain, as a semi-public sacred place for fire-attribute martial artists and mentalists to cultivate, has naturally attracted some powerful individuals to come and cultivate over the years.

However, the cost of 10,000 cosmic coins is only achievable by powerhouses at the cosmic level or above, as well as scions of prominent families at the Hengxing level. Therefore, many high-ranking figures from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield gathered within Flaming Mountain, including powerful individuals from numerous major forces.

The fact that Yang Wu, a fourth-level martial artist of the Hengxing realm, was able to cultivate in a place where only experts of the third realm could cultivate for a long time was reported back to headquarters by many powerful figures from various forces.

Subsequently, Yang Wu received numerous recruitment messages from various forces within the Flaming Mountain. Even the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land sent a cosmic-level expert to recruit him.

Unfortunately, Yang Wu already possessed the inheritance of Meteorite Star and a sacred cultivation ground like Flame Mountain, so the conditions offered by other forces naturally failed to attract him.

These organizations had obviously also found out about Yang Wu's two cosmic-level followers and knew that Yang Wu likely had a powerful background, especially since he was in the Flaming Mountain, so no one forced him to comply.

Yang Wu was immersed in comprehending the realm of flames, and time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

……

In the city of Rhine.

"Mr. Yang Wu!" Three powerful individuals dressed in the uniforms of the Universe's First Bank arrived outside the villa that Yang Wu had purchased in Rhine City and gently knocked on the door.

"Hmm? They've finally arrived!" Yang Wu, who was cultivating, smiled upon hearing the voice and immediately ordered a follower to invite the three of them in.

Upon meeting, a hazy stream of light emanated from the leader of the three, a cosmic-level powerhouse.

"Beep! Identity confirmed!"

"Mr. Yang Wu, these are the goods you purchased through our First Bank!"

After Yang Wu's identity was verified, the leading cosmic-level powerhouse smiled and handed him a spatial ring, saying, "Thank you for your support of our Universe's Number One Bank!"

Yang Wu reached out and took the spatial ring, smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you all."

After the three left, Yang Wu probed his spatial ring with his spiritual power.

The space inside this spatial ring is very small, about 100 meters in length, width and height, but it is filled with a large amount of goods. The most eye-catching items are the two silver boxes placed in the very center.

Yang Wu took the two boxes out of his spatial ring and placed them on the guest table.

Each box is approximately one meter high, half a meter wide, and thirty centimeters high.

Yang Wu carefully opened the two boxes, and found a plant seedling and a strange fruit in each of the two silver boxes.

"Butterfly flower! Cloud vine!"

Yang Wu smiled as he looked at the two plant seedlings.

Since arriving on Rhine Star to comprehend the Flame Domain, Yang Wu knew he would be staying there for quite some time.

Therefore, Yang Wu must make better use of this time.

How to utilize it?

Yang Wu's first thought was to cultivate the life of the two plants.

The Butterfly Flower and the Cloud Vine, one offensive and one defensive, will be Yang Wu's perfect partners in his adventures in the universe.

As for the even more powerful plant life forms, Yang Wu simply did not have enough wealth and status to purchase them.

Yang Wu spent nearly 20 Hunyuan units to purchase enough treasures to perfectly cultivate the two plants to the ninth level of the cosmic level.

As for perfectly cultivating someone to the Domain Lord level, with Yang Wu's remaining wealth, it's far from being possible.

"If I can't join Virtual Universe Company, I'll be at a huge loss!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

However, now that Yang Wu has seen such a magical place as the Flaming Mountain, he feels quite confident about the upcoming Cosmic Genius Battle several years from now.

"At worst, I'll just stay in this fiery mountain during the simulation. I refuse to believe I can't comprehend the laws of fire!"

That was Yang Wu's thought. With his wealth now surpassing that of most realm lords, there was no need for him to venture to other places. He could stay in Flaming Mountain and cultivate peacefully. If he wanted to fight, there was also the killing field in the virtual universe.

Cultivating plant life is easy; first, it recognizes a master, and then it's a simple cultivation process.

After the recognition was completed, Yang Wu reluctantly threw the fruits from the two silver boxes into the mouths of the two seedlings.

"Eating these two fruits would be worth the value of several galaxies!"

Yang Wu felt the joy emanating from the two seedlings in his mind and couldn't help but sigh.

The initial foundational cultivation, which lays the best foundation for the two seedlings, is the most expensive.

Those two fruits are called "Qingluo Fruits," which are fruits that grow on the Qingluo Tree in a magical place in the universe. They have a very magical effect on the evolution of plant seedlings.

More importantly, the effects of Qingluo fruit are very gentle and will not damage the roots of plant seedlings in the slightest.

However, the price of the Green Luo Fruit is extremely high; the value of any one of them exceeds that of the 'Fruit of Life,' which is considered the second life of a Realm Lord.

Yang Wu purchased them through the Universe's First Bank, spending even more. The two fruits together cost him over eight trillion cosmic coins. Even most World Lord-level powerhouses wouldn't be able to afford such extravagant cultivation of plant life.

"The more you invest, the more you reap. Master, you have spent such an astonishing amount of wealth this time, so you will surely receive an even more astonishing return in the future!" said a servant beside Yang Wu respectfully.

The value of this wealth is so great that it could buy countless eighth-tier cosmic-level slaves!

At this moment, the slave also harbored a sliver of longing.

If he does his best to protect Yang Wu now, will he be able to set Yang Wu free when Yang Wu no longer needs his protection in the future?

After all, Yang Wu had promised a group of star-level slaves that he would set them free a hundred years later!

After cultivating the two plant seedlings, Yang Wu took them out of the villa and planned to continue his journey to the Flame Mountain in the Realm Lord World to comprehend the Flame Domain.

As for the early cultivation of the two seedlings, with Chi Yan around, Yang Wu didn't need to worry at all, so he simply kept them by his side to nurture their relationship.
