Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 109 Spatial Laws

Babata glanced back casually.

Ning Ze stood there quietly with his eyes closed, a mysterious aura emanating from him.

His eyelids twitched violently twice.

You can never understand what a genius is comprehending!

This feeling made him feel stupid and ignorant, and it was a terrible experience! It was as if he were an indigenous person, while Ning Ze was an alien.

But Babata couldn't say anything, otherwise he might be proven wrong. He couldn't help but purse his lips again, pretending not to see it.

After observing the dark universe, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness, and the excitement he felt upon first entering the universe subsided.

He had a vague premonition that this might be the path to becoming a strong person.

In the boundless starry sky, only the spaceship is your companion. Perhaps there is glory and prosperity on the road ahead, but death is the least lacking thing in the cold starry sky.

Just like his teacher Hu Yanbo, such a towering figure, even time could not leave a mark on him, but he ultimately perished on this ordinary planet, Earth.

Luo Feng turned around and smiled.

Dressed in a white, elegant, and serene robe, Ning Ze gently closed his eyes, clearly deep in thought.

He was an unbelievable genius. Even Luo Feng, who had obtained the inheritance of immortality, could not understand how far he had gone. Even the Golden Horned Beast, the most noble life in the universe, was still like a plaything in his eyes.

Having such a cousin is truly a blessing; the desolate universe is no longer lonely, for they share a beautiful planet behind them.

Gently, Ning Ze opened his eyes. The two looked at each other, and he smiled slightly. "I feel that your spirit and mind have become more clear. As the Master said, you have a great talent for mental states."

"A heart like a mirror, a heart like a knife, perhaps?" Luo Feng chuckled softly. "Brother Ning's state of mind is always so crystal clear; perhaps this is what it means to have a clear and discerning sword heart?"

"A clear mind and a pure heart?" Ning Ze shook his head and smiled, then nodded. "I can think some things through, but the world is too complicated. All I can do is stay true to myself and keep my heart as one."

Luo Feng nodded slightly. Ning Ge had a very reserved temperament and never cared about external matters. Strictly speaking, this state of mind was quite complex. He was clear-headed, open-minded, and had an unchanging heart. He possessed a bit of all three states of mind that Hong mentioned.

"What did Brother Ning just realize? Is there some mystery hidden in this dark universe?"

Ning Ze glanced at the curtain of starry sky, a smile playing on his lips. "The original universe and the dark universe are two sides of the same coin. I just grasped some of the mysteries of space. In the words you told me, I should be considered to have crossed the threshold of the laws, right?"

Babata lowered his head, swallowed hard twice, and said, "I knew it, you're a freak! Why not comprehend the proper laws of time, and instead try to comprehend the laws of space?"

Luo Feng clicked his tongue inwardly, momentarily losing confidence. He gave a wry smile, "Brother Ning, this should be the third law you've comprehended, right? The Law of Wind, the Law of Time, and now you've comprehended the Law of Space, this is truly..."

He hasn't even grasped a single law yet, but the Golden Horned Beast has good talent. By eating soil and iron, it will naturally develop a domain. He hasn't eaten enough yet and is already far behind.

"Three kinds?" Ning Ze stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Actually, there are four kinds. When dealing with the Wang family, I also comprehended the Law of Wood, but I don't have time to comprehend it now. I'm mostly comprehending the Law of Wind and the Law of Time."

"Now that I've also comprehended the Law of Space, it's giving me a bit of a dilemma. These laws are extremely difficult to comprehend. I only comprehended the Law of Time because of the 'Time of Wind' clone. My natural talent for the Law of Time isn't very good, so my comprehension efficiency is very low. I can only cultivate using clones. But you told me that the Law of Wind corresponds to the Law of Time, and the Law of Space combined together are very weak. For now, I'm not sure which one to comprehend."

Luo Feng opened his mouth, but said nothing. He hadn't grasped anything, so he had no right to speak. He felt immense pressure and turned to look at Babata.

At this moment, Babata was feigning death, head down, lips pursed, his mind filled with muttering, "A pervert is a pervert, a pervert isn't like a human! He doesn't even know which one he's trying to comprehend? He can comprehend any one, the problem is he has to have it!"

"Babata, how should Brother Ning cultivate now?" Luo Feng asked subconsciously. He was just starting his cultivation and was still quite dependent on Babata.

Ning Ze also looked over curiously. He had always cultivated by figuring things out on his own. He wanted to know how people in the universe cultivated.

Babata was slightly annoyed. Who knew how this freak cultivated? Now that he was being forced into this situation, not answering was out of the question. He puffed out his chest, putting on a pretentious air, and said, "You should know the principles of cultivation."

"Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the laws of space, while wind, thunder, and light correspond to the laws of time. The laws of time and space are higher-level laws, and these two are very difficult to comprehend. If possible, you should cultivate according to the higher-level law that suits you."

"You have comprehended the laws of space, so your main body can cultivate the Way of Wood and Space. Your clone is of the time and wind attributes, so the clone should comprehend the laws of time and wind. This is a choice between the clone and the main body. The strong will always be strong, and improving your strength is the most important thing. Whichever you want to focus on cultivating as your main combat clone, then you should cultivate that aspect."

Ning Ze frowned slightly and asked, "Why can't the laws of space be incompatible with the laws of wind? And what about the laws of time and the laws of wood?"

"This is common sense in cultivation! This is the ironclad rule of cultivation! This is the law set by the strongest human race!" Babata said with a very serious expression. "You should have practiced the secret manual that Luo Feng gave you before, and you should have also tried to combine it yourself. Whether in terms of power or development prospects, it is undoubtedly more reasonable to cultivate according to the above rules."

"Previously, some people tried to cultivate the laws of space in combination with the laws of wind, thunder, and light, or the laws of time in combination with the five laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. However, the final result was that even if they became immortals, they were the weakest beings, and their strength was far inferior to that of strong people who cultivated normally."

"You are still very weak, and your cultivation time is extremely precious. The most important thing is to improve your strength. When your realm reaches a certain level, you will naturally understand how to cultivate. You should trust the warnings of humanity's strongest beings! Their unimaginable realms and profound understanding of the laws are beyond comprehension; they certainly wouldn't be wrong!"

Ning Ze's eyes were thoughtful, and he nodded in agreement.

Research is definitely necessary, as it is a process of cognitive development, but for now, the focus is still on improving combat capabilities.

Can the laws of space really not be combined with wind, thunder, and light? He decided to study this further later.

Time passed slowly.

tenth day.

"We're almost at Qilong Star. The spaceship will slow down. There's no such thing as stillness in the dark universe. When the speed reaches 0, we'll leave the dark universe," Babata shouted excitedly. This was its first stop back in the universe.

Ning Ze opened his eyes, feeling a sense of joy.

This was the first time he had ever traveled for such a long time. At his speed, he could circle the earth in less than an hour, but it took him ten days to travel.

The journey itself is rather boring, and traveling through the vast starry sky can give you a feeling of being excluded from the world.

The spaceship is slowing down.

Ning Ze felt a tremor beneath his feet, and they returned from the dark universe to the original universe. He closed his eyes and released his senses.

The most remarkable thing about the vast starry sky around us is... a planet that seems to be glowing with colorful light in the distance, with two satellites faintly visible around it.

"That planet is Qiulong Star," Babata said. "Luo Feng, go into Qiulong Star and proceed according to our plan. Ning Ze, don't talk much, and act aloof."

"Okay." Ning Ze had no objections. He had long been preparing to enter the universe and had even learned the universal language, but he knew very little about the common knowledge of the universe, so it was best not to speak.

"Babata, you said it costs money to enter the planet. But I don't have any currency," Luo Feng said.

No matter how rich you are on Earth, how could the Silver Blue Empire or the Black Dragon Mountain Empire possibly recognize your Earth currency? Having it is just a useless 'printed picture'.

"You don't have one, but I do," Babata shouted. "But your master's bank card is useless to you, as it's bound to his spiritual imprint. However, my master left behind some coins, which he always carried with him. Sometimes, coins can be quite useful."

"Coins?" Luo Feng was taken aback.

"Yes, I searched the entire storage space carefully and found 932 Dry Witch Coins," Babata said.

"932 yuan?" Luo Feng blinked twice.

I'm so poor.

"This is Dry Witch Coins, not Black Dragon Coins, and certainly not cheap Silver Blue Coins," Babata shouted. "1 Dry Witch Coin = 1000 Black Dragon Coins = 1000000 Silver Blue Coins. If your Earth were on par with these, it would take at least 100 to exchange for 1 Silver Blue Coin. This much money is enough for you to survive on Qiulong Star for a while!"

Ning Ze couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This tiered system of currencies made him realize the enormous disparity in strength, often by a thousand times!

"Signal received, we're heading to Zone C!" Babata announced on the control panel screen.

"The A-level zone is for ordinary spaceships and warships. The B-level zone is for B-level spaceships and warships, and the C-level zone is for C-level spaceships and warships. There's also a D-level zone above that," Babata explained.

A huge harbor.

It is divided into several major areas, and in the C-level area, every spaceship and warship is extremely expensive.

"call!"

The Black Dragon spaceship descended slowly and finally landed.

The hatch opened.

Ning Ze and Luo Feng walked out of the cabin, followed by a robot named Liu Yin.

In the distance, a burly, green-skinned man wearing a gray uniform, standing about 2.8 meters tall with two curved horns on his head, flew over and landed in front of the two. He was humble and polite, and with a smile, he said in fluent Universal Language, "Respected sir, welcome to Qiulong Star. The parking fee for your Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship is 600 Black Dragon Coins per year! If it's less than a year, the fee will be 600 Black Dragon Coins. Here is your parking card." As he spoke, he handed a silver, semi-transparent card with a "C" mark to Luo Feng.

Ning Ze had previously learned the universal language. He calmly looked at the first alien, a ninth-level planetary warrior who could be considered the fifth strongest on Earth, but in this universe, he was just a security guard responsible for collecting parking fees.

Luo Feng smiled, flipped his hand, and a coin appeared in his hand, which he casually tossed over.

"Dry Witch Coins." The green-skinned man's eyes lit up.

The official exchange rate in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is 1 Qianwu Coin to 1000 Black Dragon Coins. However, 1000 Black Dragon Coins cannot be exchanged back for Qianwu Coins!

Going through the black market... is possible, but generally, it takes over a thousand, almost two thousand Black Dragon Coins to exchange for one Qianwu Coin. And ordinary citizens have no idea where the black market is.

Qianwu coins, these are a symbol of status!

"They're riding in a luxury car like the X81, and they're using Qianwu coins. Damn, their background must be incredibly powerful." The green-skinned burly man was incredibly envious. He cautiously glanced at Ning Ze, and when their eyes met, he felt as if Ning Ze had seen right through him. He suddenly shuddered and quickly put on a fawning smile, reaching into his bag to rummage through it.

"Keep the change," Luo Feng said casually, then turned around and said, "Brother Ning, let's go."

Ning Ze nodded slightly and was about to leave when he noticed a gaze and turned his head away.

A chubby young man with black hair flew out of the spaceship. He had two purple markings on his face and his eyes were squinted, making him look quite cute.

"Wow!"

The fat young man exclaimed and arrived in front of the Black Dragon spaceship, immediately followed by four burly men who looked like chimpanzees.

Planetary level three.

Ning Ze instantly assessed the chubby boy's strength. His gaze shifted to the other four, sweeping over the three burly black gorillas in front before settling on the last one. 'Eighth or ninth level of the Hengxing realm. Not at the cosmic level, not a big problem.'

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

The fat man darted to Luo Feng's Black Dragon spaceship, stroked its hull, his eyes gleaming, and screamed, "Damn, this is an old model from over a million years ago, the Black Dragon Mountain X81! Anyone who owns this spaceship would have collected it long ago! And it's a luxury item made of pure yttrium metal! To see a spaceship like this today!"

The chubby boy was about to shout something when he felt a dark shadow blocking his way. It was the burly black gorilla man at the eighth level of the Hengxing realm.

The chubby boy was taken aback for a moment, then noticed his bodyguard's serious expression as he stared ahead with obvious apprehension.

He followed the gaze, his eyes lingering briefly on the handsome face before he subconsciously looked down at his personal terminal.

Immediately afterwards, the chubby boy was confused; it was indeed a first-tier Hengxing level.

As a scion of a powerful family, he naturally knew who to befriend and who not to offend; he had previously observed the strength of several individuals.

He's only a first-tier expert at the Constant Star level, so why is his bodyguard making such a face? Why is he so serious when their power difference is hundreds of times greater? We can't rob someone here!

Suddenly, the chubby boy sensed something was wrong. He glanced around cautiously. Ning Ze, Luo Feng, and a robot—he silently counted, "1...2...3! The Silver Guardians aren't showing any signs of life, so where did the third person come from?"

He felt a chill run down his spine. He looked up and was stared at by those indifferent eyes.

The chubby boy grinned sheepishly. "Um, big brother, hello, my name is Gao Sheng Weidi. I don't mean anything by it, I just think your spaceship is nice. How about you sell me your X81 spaceship when you don't want it anymore? I can afford it in ten years." At the same time, he was internally screaming, "Damn it, I've run into a ghost! This guy... could he have some kind of auxiliary life form? Or is he hiding some special cosmic life form within him?"

"Ning Ze".

"The spaceship is not mine."

Ning Ze spoke expressionlessly, completely ignoring the wary look in the burly chimpanzee's eyes.

The Golden Horned Beast is at a near-fourth-tier level of the third rank of the Constant Star realm, possessing ten times the strength of a human, at least equivalent to a seventh-tier Planetary Star. Even without activating its domain or using its laws, it can easily crush a human. Being only one tier higher only grants double the strength; this human's power exertion is likely less than the Golden Horned Beast's, posing no threat.

"Hello. My name is Luo Feng." Luo Feng walked over at this moment, smiling, and said, "This is my cousin. He's not very talkative, so please don't mind him."

"I modified and repaired this Black Dragon spaceship myself before I could fully get it working. I'm still reluctant to sell it."
