Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 111 Becoming an Apprentice

The primordial world was formed.

A drop of breathtakingly beautiful golden blood flows along the blood vessels, instantly spreading throughout the body and beginning to fuse with all the muscles, bones, and skin.

My whole body is undergoing a transformation!

Hiss hiss hiss~~

Every cell in his body was undergoing an astonishing transformation. Luo Shen felt his entire body trembling, and his bones and muscles seemed to be pressed to their limits, making a "crackling" sound, as if they were about to break at any moment.

A large number of useless genes break down and disintegrate, some of which recombine to form new genes.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

One after another, special golden symbols appeared out of thin air. Although he had never seen such symbols before, Luo Shen could clearly understand their meanings: "Law," "Melting," and "Refining." Each symbol seemed to represent a character.

Under the influence of some mysterious force, special symbols freely combined to form a special secret manual consisting of 10081 special symbols—the "Method of Melting"!

This is a special secret technique!

This secret manual, containing only 10081 special characters, is divided into three parts, each further divided into three minor stages. Successful cultivation of this manual can reverse the laws governing the universe and forcibly elevate the cultivator's life gene level!

Once this secret technique is mastered to the Great Perfection level, one can break through to the perfect genetic level of the primordial universe!

But Luo Shen had a vague feeling that there should be more to this secret technique.

With the help of that drop of golden blood, Luo Shen had automatically mastered the first part, the first minor stage, and his life gene level had also risen to 20 times the life gene level!

The primordial world within his body even expanded more than twice as much as a result.

The advancement in the level of life's genes also made Luo Shen's understanding of the fundamental laws clearer.

A series of brilliant ideas came to mind.

The thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth mysteries, which were previously just a hair's breadth away from being fully comprehended, suddenly became clear with the increased comprehension brought about by the improvement in the level of life genes. The message of increased proficiency filled the entire screen of the attribute panel.

Before long, he had already grasped the essence of these two mysteries!

I don't know how much time passed.

Luo Shen opened his eyes.

He found himself in a plaza paved with chaotic rocks, and not far in front of him stood a bald man in a fiery red battle robe, with a faint smile on his face, and he appeared very calm.

Just looking at him is like being completely immersed in the vast and tranquil universe.

"The Venerable Guiyi?"

Luo Shen was startled.

That person was none other than Venerable Guiyi, with whom he had had many encounters!

"Wasn't I on the Nine Swords Venerable's spaceship? How did I end up here, and why is the Unity Venerable here too? Could this be the Chaos City Lord's Mansion?"

Various questions arose in Luo Shen's mind.

"You're awake? Then come with me," Venerable Guiyi said with a smile.

"Yes."

Despite having many questions in his mind, Luo Shen didn't ask them aloud, but instead obediently followed beside the other person.

Venerable Guiyi led him through the mansion, smiling as he said, "I know you must have many questions in your heart, but don't worry, you'll understand when you see your teacher."

"Teacher?" Luo Shen's heart tightened.

Who else could be called a teacher by Venerable Guiyi, besides the Lord of Chaos City?

soon.

The two arrived at a quiet courtyard. Outside the courtyard was a stone tablet with the three characters "Chaos Ruins" engraved on it.

Before entering, Venerable Guiyi specifically reminded him: "The teacher has three avatars. The one who presides over Chaos City is the one who is in charge of killing and warfare, so you must be respectful and not offend him."

"Yes!" Luo Shen replied hastily.

"Let's go, the teacher is inside." Venerable Guiyi said, leading Luo Shen inside.

Luo Shen also took a step into it.

Boom!

Time and space shifted. He was still in the city lord's mansion, but as soon as Luo Shen stepped into the courtyard, he felt as if the world had changed and he had entered a vast and desolate world.

On the endless land, corpses were everywhere. Some were as large as planets, while others were smaller than humans. Yet each corpse exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

The scent of some of the corpses.

He is no weaker than Venerable Guiyi, and may even be stronger!

You must know that Venerable Guiyi is a genuine cosmic overlord. Anyone stronger than him is probably not just a top-tier cosmic overlord, but also a super strong person at the level of a cosmic lord.

It truly lives up to its name as the Chaos Ruins!

Luo Shen obediently followed Venerable Guiyi, walking across this vast, seemingly endless wasteland.

Suddenly, Venerable Guiyi stopped and respectfully addressed the person in front of him: "Teacher!"

It was only then that Luo Shen suddenly realized.

Not far from them stood a burly man about three meters tall, dressed in an incredibly complex and ancient dark red battle armor, wearing battle boots, with a scaled tail protruding from his battle skirt.

Luo Shen subconsciously looked up at the person.

Just a simple glance.

What kind of eyes were those? Deep and vast, they made his soul tremble. Through those eyes, it was as if he were looking at the endless primordial laws of the universe, those magnificent and boundless cosmic laws radiating a chilling aura.

Luo Shen couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"Is this... the Lord of the Universe?" he murmured to himself.

"You're Luo Shen?"

A gentle voice rang out, and everything that had been seen vanished, returning to calm.

The man in dark red armor with a scaled tail looked down at Luo Shen. His face, with its strange patterns that made him appear fierce, was surprisingly gentle and warm to those eyes that were as calm as the ocean and as deep as the starry sky.

"Yes, greetings, Lord City Lord!" Luo Shen hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

This is the Lord of Chaos City!

A truly super existence standing at the very pinnacle of this vast universe!

"Why are you still calling me City Lord?" the Chaos City Lord teased.

"what?"

Luo Shen was somewhat bewildered.

The Venerable Guiyi, standing to the side, explained with a smile, "I remember mentioning to you that if you can successfully cultivate the first thirty-six profound mysteries of spatial essence within the thirty years you spend cultivating in Chaos City, your teacher will accept you as a disciple."

That's true.

Luo Shen was puzzled: "But I haven't revealed any laws since I came in, so how do you know I've comprehended the profound mysteries of these thirty-six spatial essences?"

Previously, he had only demonstrated the first thirty-four sets of sword techniques of "Floating Blood" to Venerable Guiyi.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Luo Shen with a smile, and said meaningfully, "The primordial laws that surged around you in the Chaos City Inner Palace Square earlier, didn't they contain the first thirty-six spatial essences?"

Facing the other person's gaze, Luo Shen appeared respectful on the surface, but couldn't help feeling a little uneasy inside.

He muttered to himself, "Could the Lord of Chaos City see through the changes in my body?"

The other person's gaze was simply too sharp, as if it possessed a special magic that could see right through him, and it seemed that no secret could be hidden under his gaze.

But the Lord of Chaos City had no intention of continuing this topic.

There was a pause.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

There was no mention of being registered or any other conditions attached, clearly indicating that they intended to directly accept him as their personal disciple!

Luo Feng was practically crying his eyes out in the toilet.

Everyone became disciples in the same way, but Luo Shen became a direct disciple, while Luo Feng was only a nominal disciple and had to pass the Chaos City Lord's test to become a full disciple.

That's horrible!

"This disciple is willing!"

Seeing the Chaos City Lord's meaningful smile, how could Luo Shen dare to say he was unwilling?

He respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

After receiving Luo Shen's bow, the Lord of Chaos City smiled and waved his hand, gently lifting him up, saying, "Now that you have become my disciple, go and find a place to stay. If you have any questions about your daily cultivation, you can ask your senior brother Guiyi for guidance."

Venerable Guiyi laughed and said, "I am a few years older than you and entered the sect earlier. I am ranked second among the master's disciples."

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother." Luo Shen bowed respectfully.

Seeing the two brothers being friendly and respectful, the Lord of Chaos City smiled with satisfaction and said, "Go and settle in first, then come to Chaos Ruins to find me later."

"yes!"

Luo Shen responded respectfully.

*******

I spent most of the day in meetings today, and then I was forced to write job workflows and add annotations. It almost drove me crazy.

I still have to work overtime tonight QAQ!

I'll finish yesterday's chapter first, and then I'll update the second chapter when I get back tonight.

It might be a bit late.
