Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 130 First Stop

Rain falls on the mountain.

"Congratulations, senior brother."

Luo Shen smiled and congratulated Luo Feng, saying, "With your current strength, you're not far from the seventh level. Once you make another breakthrough in the fundamental laws of metal, reaching the sixth level of the Divine Weapon world will be just around the corner!"

In fact, Luo Feng's understanding of the fundamental laws of metal was already not far from that of the world of swords.

It's just that the fundamental laws of space held us back before.

In this battle, Luo Feng comprehended the "Absolute Domain - Infinite Small World," and his understanding of the fundamental laws of space surged dramatically. As long as he made up for the shortcomings in the fundamental laws of metal, he could easily condense a sword world.

With a slight improvement, passing the seventh level is not impossible.

"You're still far behind me."

Luo Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank Nani Nan. Without his pressure, I wouldn't have been able to improve so much in such a short time."

That being said.

However, Luo Shen keenly sensed a cold glint in the depths of Luo Feng's eyes as he spoke these words.

Clearly, Luo Feng had already developed a murderous intent towards Ni Nan.

Although they are all core members of the Virtual Universe Company, they are all in competition with each other. It is quite rare to find people who can maintain a healthy competitive relationship like Luo Feng, Rong Jun, and Wu Ka.

"We still need to be careful, after all, everyone here is a core member."

Luo Shen made a pointed remark.

He was reminding Luo Feng that even if he were to take action, he must not give them any leverage so easily. It would be best to use the power of the natural environment, just like Moro did in the original story.

Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

The two did not discuss the matter in detail.

"I'm going on a training mission."

Luo Shen changed the subject, saying, "Anyone interested in going together? I've discovered a mission world that's quite interesting; it'll be of great help to you and the Golden Horned Beast's clone."

"oh?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng immediately became interested.

He knew that Luo Shen wouldn't speak without reason. Since he dared to say such a thing, he must have considerable confidence. Moreover, Luo Shen's strength far exceeded his own, and joining forces with Luo Shen would be more beneficial to him.

After a brief moment of thought, Luo Feng readily agreed.

"Cultivation missions are divided into four levels: normal, difficult, dangerous, and desperate."

Luo Shen instructed, "When you get back, submit an application to carry out a dangerous mission, find the Blood Luo World, and take on this cultivation task. It will take me more than a month to get from the Primordial Secret Realm to the Primordial Secret Realm. During this time, you can apply for nutrient solution to upgrade your body to the ninth level of the Universe level."

As for Luo Shen...

Back in Chaos City, he had already raised his physical attributes to the ninth level of the cosmic level.

After all, as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, he held an extremely high position and was able to command members of the Virtual Universe Company to deliver nutrient solution into Chaos City.

Luo Feng nodded.

Swish!

The figure disappeared.

The reason why the first cultivation mission was to go to the 'Blood Luo World' in the Primordial Region, rather than the 'Demon Mountain' in the closer Primordial Secret Realm, is because the Blood Luo World has a higher priority.

His current life gene level is 20 times higher, which is 10 times higher than that of the Golden Horned Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts!

Even though he wasn't like the Golden Horned Beast, a natural favorite of the golden elemental law, there was absolutely no problem for him to fuse three Blood Crystals and become a Blood Warrior.

According to the original work, this describes Luo Feng's Earthly self fusing with the Blood Crystal.

After fusing three Blood Crystals and activating the power of Blood Crystals, the level of life genes can be increased by 3 times on top of the 20 times; and after fusing ten Blood Crystals and becoming a Black Warrior, the level of life genes can be increased by 10 times on top of the 20 times, reaching 200 times!

200 times.

This also surpasses the limits of the life gene level of ordinary humans in the universe!

If he can take advantage of this opportunity to successfully cultivate the second minor stage of the first part of the smelting method, his life gene level will soar even higher!

Even if it doesn't increase 20 times as before.

But if it can increase by another 5 times, its life gene level will exceed 1000 times, surpassing the vast majority of life in the original universe and absolutely comparable to ordinary special life!

Apart from that, this training task was not too difficult.

Once you obtain a Blood Crystal or become a Blood Warrior, completing either task signifies the completion of your cultivation journey, and you can leave the Blood World at any time.

******

The Primal Secret Realm, Wuchen Time and Space.

"Boom!"

In the distance, a spaceship slowly descended onto Luo Shen's territory. This was a spaceship sent by the Virtual Universe Company to pick up Luo Shen and take him to the world where he would be carrying out his cultivation mission.

"Your Highness, please be careful when you go on your training mission!"

Rong Di transmitted his voice, saying, "Cultivation mission worlds are usually located in a secret realm, and all sorts of things can happen at any time in a secret realm. I cannot accompany Your Highness, so Your Highness will have to rely on yourself."

When carrying out cultivation missions, none of the guards can accompany them.

Only when he breaks through to the Domain Lord level and becomes a regional governor can the guards accompany Luo Shen on his expeditions. Otherwise, they can only wait for Luo Shen's return in the Primal Secret Realm.

"Um."

Luo Shen nodded.

It transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness!"

Under Rong Di's leadership, hundreds of guards and thousands of servants respectfully greeted him at the same time. Luo Shen had already entered the spaceship, and soon the spaceship took off and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In the dark universe, a swordfish-shaped spaceship is moving rapidly forward.

"Your Highness, since the Primordial Secret Realm is too far from the Primordial Secret Realm, we will soon arrive at the Primordial Secret Realm directly through a fixed spatial passage built inside the Primordial Secret Realm."

A fox-woman clad in deep purple armor, with a bewitching appearance, respectfully said, "It might be a little uncomfortable, Your Highness. Please forgive me."

This is the disciple personally taught by the exceptionally talented Lord of Chaos City.

Even though the fox spirit was a King-level Immortal, she dared not show the slightest arrogance in front of Luo Shen. After all, the weakest of Luo Shen's fellow disciples was a King-level Immortal, and a super strong one at that. They could crush her with a flick of their wrists.

"Um."

Luo Shen nodded.

When they traveled through the cosmic passage to Chaos City, the change in the flow of time made many people feel uncomfortable, and some even lost their composure.

While a fixed-space passageway wouldn't be as uncomfortable, it's probably not much different.

The four secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company are located in different star sectors, with straight-line distances exceeding hundreds of millions of light-years. Even at the speed of light, which is the limit of the universe, it would take a very long time to travel from the original secret realm to the other secret realms.

The cultivation time of core geniuses is extremely precious.

Therefore, the company's senior management spent a huge amount of money to build fixed spatial passages within the four core secret realms to facilitate travel.

of course.

Not all core geniuses are qualified to use this spatial channel, after all, the energy consumed by each ultra-long-distance teleportation, when converted into cosmic crystals, is an astronomical figure.

Only a genius of Luo Shen's high status and outstanding talent is qualified to use it.

Through a fixed spatial passage.

The spaceship trembled slightly, and Luo Shen clearly felt a little uncomfortable, but it was better than the cosmic passage he had traversed on his way to Chaos City, and it lasted only a short time, less than thirty seconds, before everything returned to calm.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Primordial Secret Realm and are on our way to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace."

"That's what the fox woman said."

Luo Shen asked, "How long does it take to get to the Celestial Eclipse Palace?"

Even though the Blood Luo World is inside the Primordial Secret Realm, and even though he is already in the Primordial Secret Realm, it still requires flying a considerable distance to reach the Blood Luo World from the fixed spatial passage.

The fox woman quickly replied, "Your Highness, we will arrive in about 14 hours if we travel at 50 times the speed of light."

Luo Shen nodded.

Send this message to Luo Feng via email.

The 14-hour flight passed quickly, and the spaceship returned to the original universe.

"The outdoor scenery is virtual," the fox woman shouted.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed, revealing the void outside.

Luo Shen's eyes lit up immediately.

"It's really beautiful!"

Looking out at the misty world, the various fragments of void dust appear even more dreamlike under the refraction of light. In the distance, there is a tall palace that floats in the void, watching over the entire Blood Luo World.

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Eclipse Palace is just ahead."

The fox-woman said respectfully, "I can only take you this far. The Blood Luo World is not far below. Your Highness will need to take a spaceship down by yourself. The mission prompts specify that you need to bring a spaceship."

Because the Blood Luo world harbors extreme hatred towards extraterrestrial visitors.

Once they discover any technological items, they will launch a frenzied attack. Therefore, no human spaceship will easily enter the cloud layer of the Blood Luo World unless absolutely necessary, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary trouble.

"it is good."

Luo Shen stood up and smiled at the fox woman, "Thank you for escorting me all the way. I'll be going now."

With that, he stepped directly out of the cabin.

With a wave of his hand, a silver pyramid-shaped spaceship appeared beside him; it was the modified spaceship of the Mechanical Race.

"The spaceship is disguised as ordinary meteorite fragments."

Upon entering the pyramid-shaped spaceship, Luo Shen ordered, "Fly forward at sub-light speed to the Blood Luo World. Do not enter the clouds. If you discover anyone from the Blood Luo World, immediately fly back towards the Heavenly Eclipse Palace."

"Yes, Master!"

The spaceship's intelligent system is an intelligent life form that Luo Shen purchased from the virtual universe, specifically to assist him.

The mechanical race's spaceships change appearance.

It quickly turned into a dark gray, seemingly ordinary meteorite fragment, inconspicuous in the void, and then flew rapidly towards the Blood Luo World at an astonishing speed.

Inside the control room.

Luo Shen looked into the far distance at the incredibly vast and seemingly endless continent that, like the Virtual Universe Company, quietly floated in the void—that was the Blood Luo World!

The saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes one's horse run itself to death."

Even though the Blood Luo World was already within sight and the outer clouds seemed to be not far in front of him, the mechanical race spaceship, traveling at sub-light speed, still took two and a half hours to reach the outer clouds.

After waiting for half a day, Luo Feng finally arrived in a dark purple spaceship.

Luo Feng flew out of his spaceship.

He stowed away his spaceship and then entered Luo Shen's mechanical spaceship, laughing, "Shen, didn't you say it would take you a long time to get here? How come you're here so quickly?"

If Luo Shen hadn't spent time learning the language of the Blood Luo World and purchasing and customizing some items, Luo Feng probably wouldn't have had time to raise his physical attributes to the ninth level of the Universe level.

"I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Luo Shen shrugged.

He had thought it would take at least a month to fly there. If it weren't for the fixed spatial passage, even if he were flying at 50 times the speed of light, he wouldn't have been able to reach the Primordial Secret Realm so quickly.

"This is the Blood Luo World you were talking about?"

Luo Feng didn't dwell on the question; his gaze was fixed intently on the continent below.

"What are you talking about, something that can help both me and the Golden Horned Beast's avatar? Could there be a treasure on this continent that can help me quickly increase my strength?"

He looked at Luo Shen.

Luo Shen deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "You should have already read the mission description, right?"

Luo Feng rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Of course! If I hadn't read the mission description, I wouldn't have accepted the mission without any preparation."

Preparing for a task in advance is the greatest respect you can show to your own life.

"Then you should know about Blood Crystal by now."

Seeing that Luo Feng still didn't quite understand, he explained directly, "Blood Crystal, that's the treasure I was talking about! This thing has the ability to promote the genetic advancement of flesh-and-blood life forms!"

"A leap in life?"

Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

It is important to understand that only through breakthroughs at each major level, such as from the Eternal Star level to the Universe level, from the Universe level to the Domain Lord level, and from the Domain Lord level to the World Lord level, can the life genes achieve a fundamental leap.

Who would have thought that the Blood Crystal, a treasure of the Blood World, would have such miraculous effects!

"What exactly is this Blood Crystal?"

Luo Feng pressed further, "If Blood Crystals have such miraculous effects, why would the Virtual Universe Company arrange for us to obtain them through missions?"

He had so many questions in his mind.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Luo Shen waved his hand and said, "It's not safe here right now because the natives of the Blood Luo World could appear at any time. Let me explain to you slowly after we enter the Blood Luo Continent."

With that, the two flew out of the spaceship's hatch together and put the spaceship away.

Looking down at the clouds.

The clouds in the sky above the Blood Luo World have eighteen layers. The higher you go, the greater the pressure. Only those at the cosmic level can pass through these eighteen layers on their own, but they usually only move within the eighteenth layer.

Because of any indigenous person who flew out of the 18th cloud layer, none of them returned alive.

"Walk!"

Luo Shen gave Luo Feng a look, then plunged into the 18th layer of clouds, rapidly plummeting downwards under the incredibly powerful gravity of the continent itself.

Luo Feng immediately followed closely behind.

With their combined strength, the two of them could easily resist the suction force.

However, neither of them offered any resistance; they simply continued to fall from the 18th floor downwards, their speed increasing as they descended. Only after breaking through the first layer of clouds at the bottom did they begin to control their descent.

Luo Shen glanced at it.

Below, on the vast and boundless land, there were incomparably magnificent mountain ranges and forests. Among them, a mountain peak shaped like five fingers stood proudly. He pointed directly and said, "Go over there."

Luo Feng nodded.

The two instantly transformed into streaks of light, streaking across the sky and heading straight for the mountain peak.
