Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 125 Points

Universe starry sky.

Suddenly, ripples spread across the space like water, and a large fish leaped out from them.

After flying through the dark universe for a month, the Big Fish spaceship finally returned to the original universe. After flying for another half a day, it finally arrived at the place where the core members lived in the original secret realm.

"100% virtual projection!"

"That's what the Nine Swords Venerable said."

Swish!

The surrounding scenery changed instantly. Luo Shen and Bo Lan were immediately attracted by the 136 huge planets that stretched across the void of the universe not far away, moving and intertwining with each other, with incredibly mysterious trajectories.

"what?"

Having already comprehended the 108 profound mysteries of spatial essence, Luo Shen gazed at the 136 stars, and the ingenious combinations and applications of these profound mysteries immediately surfaced in his mind.

Luo Shen even sensed traces similar to the axe light in his mind from the 36 stars at the core.

After all, these 136 stars were specially crafted by the super beings of the Virtual Universe Company. Their secret patterns and trajectories contain infinite profound meanings. A simple intersection can trigger the most fundamental laws of time and space in the universe, forming its own spacetime.

Although the 136 stars are visible to the naked eye, what the naked eye sees is actually an illusion.

"The primeval secret realm lies ahead."

The Nine Swords Venerable spoke a few more words than usual: "These 136 stars form a spacetime of their own, called the Ninth Spacetime, also known as the Wuchen Spacetime. All members of the Primal Secret Realm reside here, which is the most important core location of our Virtual Universe Company."

Boom~~

Not far ahead, a spaceship, one entirely gold and the other entirely red, each about 1000 meters long, appeared out of thin air and flew straight toward them.

"Go on, those are the people who will greet you."

The Nine Swords Venerable said, "Work hard. The cosmic level is just the beginning. Don't be complacent because of a temporary lead. There's still a long road ahead."

Among this generation of geniuses, he and Bolan made the fastest progress in their training.

The Nine Swords Venerable's words were both an encouragement and a warning, preventing them from becoming complacent due to their temporary lead.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Luo Shen and Bo Lan said respectfully at the same time.

The Nine Swords Venerable waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

The hatch opened.

The two flew out of the cabin door simultaneously, exchanged a glance in mid-air, and Berlan's lips moved slightly: "Luo Shen, the Venerable One is right, a temporary lead doesn't guarantee a permanent lead. I will definitely catch up with you!"

After saying that, without waiting for Luo Shen's reply, he flew directly towards the golden spaceship.

Watching Berlan's figure disappear through the spaceship's hatch, Luo Shen smacked his lips and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "It seems my appearance has given Luo Feng and Berlan a common goal to chase. However, you think you can catch me? Not a chance!"

Suppressing his thoughts, Luo Shen turned and flew towards the entrance of the magnificent, fiery red spaceship.

At the entrance.

The three powerful figures, all exuding the aura of laws, were all at the Immortal level. Luo Shen recognized one of the Immortals at a glance; it was Rong Di, the commander of the guards arranged by his senior brother, Venerable Golden Axe!

Rong Di is the grand-disciple of the Golden Axe Venerable. He comes from the Ancestral Tree Universe Kingdom and is extremely powerful, ranking among the top among the Immortal Military Lords.

"Your Highness!" Rongdi shouted.

"Rongdi!" Luo Shen nodded and replied with a smile.

The two immortal powerhouses standing beside him, one of whom wore silver armor, had beautiful purple hair, and fiery red eyes that exuded boundless enthusiasm, smiled and said, "Welcome to the Wuchen Space-Time. Please board the spaceship, Your Highness, and we will escort you to your residence."

Another immortal powerhouse also wore a gentle smile.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Luo Shen smiled and nodded, then stepped into the spaceship accompanied by the three men.

The status of ordinary members of the Primal Secret Realm is equivalent to that of these Immortal Military Lords.

Even someone like Bolan could only be considered comparable to some ordinary nobles.

But Luo Shen was different.

He was the personal disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, and he had already shown the terrifying potential of a super genius in billions of eras when he was in Chaos City. Therefore, these two immortal powerhouses always showed the most respectful attitude in front of Luo Shen and dared not show the slightest arrogance of immortality.

You should know that Luo Shen actually made it through the fourteenth level of the Sky Bridge!

Not to mention that Luo Shen's understanding of the laws is already comparable to some powerful Marquis-level Immortals. Once he breaks through to Immortality, he will be at the Marquis level, and there is even a great chance that he will become a King level.

If one goes any further, one will become a super strong person among the immortal kings!

Just considering Luo Shen's fellow disciples, any one of them could easily mold them into something flat and round. Even Rong Di, who was standing respectfully to the side and was the grand-disciple of Venerable Golden Axe, was no less powerful than them.

They dared not have any arrogance to speak of.

Inside the spacecraft's reception hall.

Luo Shen and the others stood there, looking at the empty scenery outside.

"boom!"

The spaceship started up and quickly traveled back to the Wuchen space-time.

"what?"

Luo Shen's gaze fell on the dazzling continent not far away. The 136 intertwined stars he had seen earlier were actually located at the edge of this space-time.

"Your Highness Luo Shen, the continent below is called Wu Chen Continent."

The purple-haired woman smiled and introduced, "All the princes of the company live on this continent. The Wuchen Continent is nearly one light-year in diameter, and it is incredibly vast. Each prince can be allocated a territory of nearly one million square kilometers."

The fiery red spaceship quickly carried Luo Shen to his territory.

Apart from Rong Di, the remaining guards, led by several realm lords recognized by the fundamental laws, all obediently waited in front of the manor's castle to welcome Luo Shen's arrival.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The crowd knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, creating a powerful and enthusiastic atmosphere.

"Rise, all of you. No need for such formalities."

Luo Shen waved his hand.

The purple-haired woman smiled and said, "Your Highness, we shall take our leave now."

"Um."

They watched as the spaceship swiftly disappeared into the sky.

Then, under Rong Di's guidance, Luo Shen toured his manor, familiarized himself with his residence, and then plunged into the study on the top floor of the castle.

The study was a Chinese-style library, similar to the library where he had stayed at the elite training camp.

Enter the virtual universe.

After passing through the fourteenth level of the Sky Bridge, he obtained a massive amount of points, exceeding 1600 million. Such a huge number of points could allow Luo Shen's strength to undergo a qualitative leap.

The first thing to strengthen is naturally the Cloud Vine he obtained earlier.

Although it wasn't the optimal evolution, it had been with him for so many years, so he didn't feel too bad about nurturing it. He spent a total of 48 points to purchase resources to cultivate the Cloud Vine to the World Lord level, while also strengthening its weak foundation.

Although it's not a perfect evolution, if it breaks through to immortality in the future, it will be able to possess combat power that is barely comparable to that of a king.

In fact, if there are enough points, it is possible to force the Cloud Vine to break through to the Immortal level. However, even if it is not a perfect breakthrough with 360 main vines, it will still require more than one billion points, and the success rate is less than 70%.

Luo Shen doesn't have such a large fortune to squander now, so every point will be spent wisely.

The Cloud Vine excels at entwining and strangling, and is known for its super regenerative ability, making it a decent support plant. However, in terms of combat, it is far inferior to plants like the Star-Eating Grass and the Snail Flower, which are pure combat-oriented plants.

Therefore, Luo Shen placed another order for a succulent flower.

Including all the auxiliary materials needed to grow to the peak of the Realm Lord level, the total cost was 37 points, which is less than the cost of growing the Cloud Vine to the peak of the Realm Lord level.

The main reason is that the Brahma Flower does not require high cultivation resources; as long as there is enough high-energy flesh and blood, it can grow rapidly.

Besides.

Luo Shen also spent over a million points to modify the mechanical race's spaceship.

The main purpose is to reinforce the hull by engraving secret patterns on it. After all, it is only made of E9 grade alloy, which is still inferior to F grade spaceships. After the secret patterns are solidified, the stability and flight speed of the spaceship are slightly improved.

While it may not be as good as an F-class spaceship, the difference is not significant.

Moreover, the three planet-destroying cannons mounted on the spaceship have been further enhanced. Ordinary ninth-level world lords, or even plant life forms like the Moyun Vine known for their regenerative abilities, would perish on the spot if hit by a single cannon!

Luo Shen spent a total of 77 points to purchase several more battle swords made of F-grade metal and other precious metals, which were somewhat similar in shape to the Ghost Blade.

Grade F metal isn't expensive; what's expensive are the other auxiliary metals and the engraved patterns on them.

These are all purchases related to combat.

In terms of combat support, Luo Shen also purchased detection instruments, one large and one small. The large one only cost 100,000 points and had a detection range of over 10 million kilometers, while the small one only had a detection range of 20 kilometers, but its level was extremely high, costing Luo Shen a full 3 million points!

It's better than the detectors used by ordinary people at the peak of the Marquis level.

In addition, he also purchased a Vulcan Source Crystal comparable to an ordinary immortal self-destruction.

Luo Shen intended to use this thing to self-destruct and save his life.

After all, he is naturally gifted with the ability to create clones, and he is an energy-based life form that cannot be enslaved by souls. As long as his Earth-based self is not enslaved or attacked by a soul, he will not be in any real danger.

However, the price of Vulcan Source Crystal is not low.

One pill costs as much as five million points. Even if members of the Primal Secret Realm get a discount, he would still need to spend more than three million points.

Because Luo Shen had reached the limit of his comprehension of "Bloodstained," he purchased another secret technique, "Axe Heaven Battle Earth." This secret technique was extremely famous in the Giant Axe School and was an essential technique for almost all those who comprehended the Giant Axe Chaos Stele.

There were other miscellaneous expenses as well, and the points Luo Shen had earned from crossing the overpass were almost completely used up.

Only a fraction of a million remained.

"They really spend money like water."

Looking at the account balance, Luo Shen couldn't help but shake his head and smile, saying, "No wonder in the original story, the True King spent 80 billion points to buy the Seven Kills of the Beast God for Luo Feng, and he had to sell some of his treasures first to save up enough. After all, the wealth of a strong person is basically in secret techniques, weapons, plant life, and spaceships, and liquid cash only accounts for a very small part of it."

However, once all the points he spent are converted into strength, his combat power will experience a qualitative leap.

"Oh, right."

Luo Shen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Although I can't cross the Bridge to Heaven anytime soon, the Immortal Altar, the Illusionary Sea, and the Primal Heavenly Mountain all offer a lot of rewards. I can go and challenge them to get some points!"

Only immortals can exchange Primal Units for Points.

Therefore, the main channels for core members of the Virtual Universe Company to obtain points are as follows: the Bridge to Heaven, the Immortal Altar, the Illusionary Sea, the Mountain to Heaven, and most importantly, the cultivation tasks.

"Let's go check out the Immortal Altar first."

Luo Shen gave the order and instantly disappeared from the study.

Core members can easily enter the three major planes: the Bridge to Heaven, the Altar of Immortality, and the Sea of ​​Illusions.

The Immortal Altar Plane.

On the vast, black mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see, there are countless peaks, each topped with a golden altar. As far as the eye can see, there are thousands upon thousands of golden altars on thousands of peaks.

Swish!

Luo Shen's figure appeared at the bottom of the steps of one of the altars.

"Um?"

Upon appearing in the Immortal Altar plane space, Luo Shen felt distinctly uncomfortable, as if the fundamental laws of the universe were being shielded in this space, and he could not sense any fundamental fluctuations or external energy.

The primal energy within the body also disappeared.

In this space, the only thing that can be used is pure physical strength.

"As expected of the Altar of Immortality, a place purely for testing strength."

The altar has 99 steps. At the top of the altar is a humanoid target. Next to it is a screen with the following message written in universal language: "Within one second, strike the target with your fist, elbow, shoulder, head, knee, and foot respectively. Your strength will be calculated based on the minimum attack of these five strikes."

Unlike the tests on Earth, which use the force of a punch, the tests at this Immortal Altar are far more rigorous.

"This test was practically a freebie for me."

After all, he had already cultivated his inner world, so reaching the limit of the universe with a hundred times the power was not difficult for him.

"Snapped!"

Sound of bones colliding.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Luo Shen launched several attacks on the human-shaped target in front of him, punching, kicking, kneeing, striking the forehead, and elbowing, completing five attacks in a single second.

After landing, Luo Shen looked at the screen next to him.

Data appears on the screen —

"100 units, 100 units, 100 units, 100 units, 100 units, score of 100 units, 81000 points earned!"

"It's really not difficult at all."

Luo Shen shrugged.

Of all the ways to earn points, the Immortal Altar offers the fewest.

Because perfect control of one's full power is one of the prerequisites for becoming immortal, any realm lord can easily unleash 100 units of power, so the total points of this entire immortal altar are only 81000.

Even without the 10x reward bonus, the 11th floor of the Sky Bridge still yields over 10 points!

"Let's go check out the Illusionary Sea."

Similar to the Bridge to Heaven, the Illusionary Sea contains islands. Starting from the outermost island, one must delve deeper into each island to endure the impact of the will. The further in one goes, the stronger the pressure of the Illusionary Will becomes.

The Mirage Sea has only 21 islands.

The deepest island, the 21st, is so vast that even a cosmic venerable might not be able to cross it. Therefore, many immortals and venerables sometimes appear in the Illusionary Sea to endure the oppressive force of its will!

After all, the stronger one's will, the stronger one's ability to resist illusions.

In battles against alien races, even a fraction of a second of hesitation can lead to a fatal crisis. Therefore, strengthening one's will increases the chances of survival in the future!
