Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 111: Investment of the Lord of Qianwu (First Update)
Although he did not have the corresponding secret manual for reference, nor the Chaos Monument to assist him, Wang Xiu still did not give up and continued to concentrate on comprehending the original laws of space.

Although Wang Xiu had a good understanding, his talent in the fundamental laws of space was still lacking.

Not as good as Bolan, nor as good as Luo Feng's Demon Killer Clan clone.

Lian Luo was also a top genius in the universe back then, and his talent in the laws of the origin of space was definitely not inferior to that of Bolan.

But even for Lian Luo, it took him tens of thousands of years to analyze all 108 mysteries of the original laws of space and create the "Secret Book of Floating Blood".

At that time, Lian Luo was in Chaos City, and he had the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument to assist him in his comprehension, and it took him so much time.

Not to mention Wang Xiu now.

……

In the training field, Wang Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground. The ground in front of him was covered with marks that he had left unconsciously when he was comprehending the laws.

Suddenly, Wang Xiu's eyes slowly opened, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

In just one month, even though Wang Xiu had an extraordinary understanding, he could only vaguely sense the first mysterious tip of the law of the origin of space.

Not even entry level.

"It's still a little short after all." Wang Xiu stood up. He was not surprised by the result.

Whether it is hardware or software, we cannot compare with others, and one month is really too short.

Pushing open the door to the training ground, Wang Xiu looked up at the blue sky and white clouds under the sun.

Although we know that this is a simulation of the virtual universe system, the virtual universe system is too powerful and everything is exactly the same as the real thing.

Even though he knew it was fake, when the warm sunlight shone on Wang Xiu, he still felt warm and his mood inexplicably became much better.

"I can ask the teacher for the secret book, but I can only rely on myself to strengthen my talent in the law of origin of space." The urgent feeling in Wang Xiu's heart to strengthen his talent in the law of space emerged again.

Suddenly, Wang Xiu's eyes lit up.

"Teacher?" Wang Xiu looked at the man in green robe who suddenly appeared not far away with a hint of surprise. Without any hesitation, he left a trail of afterimages in the air and came to Gu Fenghou.

"Yes." Gu Fenghou looked at his little disciple and nodded slightly. "Judging from your movements just now, you have improved your knowledge of the laws of the origin of space."

"How many phantom bodies can you use now?" Gu Fenghou asked with a smile.

"Teacher, I can now maintain six phantom bodies if I try my best." Wang Xiu replied respectfully.

"Six phantom bodies?" Gu Fenghou looked at his little disciple in surprise.

At this moment, Gu Fenghou was also a little surprised. The law of the origin of space, like the law of the origin of time, has always been known for being difficult to comprehend.

However, his little disciple's progress in the laws of the origin of space was frighteningly fast.

He remembered that when he first met Wang Xiu, the other party could only create two phantom bodies.

But in just two years, the number of phantoms has increased threefold!
Fortunately, Gu Fenghou was a man who had seen many storms. Although he had never personally taught a genius like Wang Xiu, he had seen him before.

Soon, Gu Fenghou calmed down and took Wang Xiu to the training ground.

"Let's go to the training ground and let me see your training results." Gu Fenghou said with a smile as they walked.

……

In the training ground.

Under the gaze of Gu Fenghou, Wang Xiu's figure flashed and turned directly into six identical phantom bodies.

Then the six phantom bodies burst out at an astonishing speed, leaving countless phantoms in the training field.

Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu who was moving around in the training field and nodded with satisfaction.

Wang Xiu really didn't lie to him.

It is undoubtedly the six phantom bodies.

It’s a pity that before “Wan Ying” reaches the second level of the ninth body realm, even if the number of incarnations it can create increases, the improvement in strength is very limited.

In order to unleash the power of the second level nine-body realm of "Ten Thousand Shadows", nine phantom bodies are indispensable. Otherwise, even if Wang Xiu has eight phantom bodies, in fact, compared with the one-body realm, the difference in speed and dodging will not be much.

However, Wang Xiu is now able to unleash six phantom bodies, and there are still four years before the battle of the top geniuses in the universe begins.

I believe that by the time the battle of geniuses officially begins, Wang Xiu will definitely be able to reach the second level of "Ten Thousand Shadows" and transform into nine phantom bodies.

By then, Wang Xiu's strength will increase dramatically.

Just as Gu Fenghou was about to call a halt, he suddenly froze.

He saw a hint of the mysterious shadow of the origin law of space in Wang Xiu's flying and dodging trajectory.

Although it was just a hint, Gu Fenghou was very sure that this was definitely the result of an understanding of the essence of the original laws of space.

"Wang Xiu, it's okay." Although Gu Fenghou was confused and shocked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

Wow!
In the distance, Wang Xiu's figure that was everywhere suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, Wang Xiu appeared in front of Gu Fenghou.

"Teacher." Wang Xiu said with a smile. He was very satisfied with his performance just now.

Although he was unable to display the special combat style of the Ninth Body Realm, Wang Xiu still tried his best to bring out the advantages of his six phantom bodies.

"Wang Xiu, have you gained any special insights when you were comprehending the laws of the origin of space recently?" Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu, who was smiling, and asked casually.

"Special gains?" Wang Xiu knew in his heart that Gu Fenghou was probably asking about the mysterious things he had comprehended about the origin of the laws of space.

Yes, my understanding of the profound laws of the origin of space is just the surface.

But just now when he performed "Ten Thousand Shadows", he used all his strength without any reservation.

With Gu Fenghou's level of cultivation, it is not difficult to see the essence of the spatial laws contained therein.

After all, Marquis Gu Feng is now only one step away from becoming a king, and he is following the path of the law of space.

Although he had never mentioned the mysterious things about the laws of the origin of space before, not mentioning it did not mean that Gu Fenghou did not understand it.

Wang Xiu had no intention of hiding anything, and immediately told Gu Fenghou everything he had realized about the essence of the original laws of space.

Gu Fenghou was greatly surprised after hearing this, even more surprised than when he saw Wang Xiu display the six phantom bodies.

Even he back then, it was only after entering the Chaos City and under the guidance of the Chaos Monument and many profound secret techniques that he realized the importance of the mysterious laws.

The laws of the origin of space are already difficult to comprehend, let alone the 108 mysteries of the laws of the origin of space.

The so-called one hundred and eight mysteries are actually the one hundred and eight essences of the original laws of space.

If a realm master can comprehend these 108 essences at the marquis stage, breaking through will be the marquis level, and he will be a strong one among the marquis immortals, and becoming a king will be within his reach.

Back then, Gu Fenghou’s talent was a little lacking, and it was only after he became immortal that he comprehended the 108 mysteries.

Relying on the 108 mysteries he had comprehended, Marquis Gu Feng became the pinnacle of marquisate and was hailed as the immortal with the greatest hope of breaking through to the king level under the command of Lord Qianwu.

Although Gu Fenghou could see that what Wang Xiu had realized was only the superficial.

But Wang Xiu is only at the star level.

At most, he was only thirty years old, but he had already touched upon the essence of the original laws of space.

Even a trace of fur was enough to shock Gu Fenghou.

"Huh." Gu Fenghou took a deep breath, the thought in his mind was extremely strong.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu with an extremely serious look: "Wang Xiu, don't mention this matter to anyone else." "I'll be back soon."

As he said that, Marquis Gu Feng flew directly out of the training ground and came into the manor.

The next moment, the figure disappeared.

By the time Wang Xiu chased out, Gu Fenghou had disappeared.

"What's this?" Wang Xiu scratched his head. "Didn't you say you would teach me something? And I haven't even told you about the secret book yet."

"Forget it, I'll have to wait until next time." Wang Xiu turned around and went back to the training ground. "Maybe he'll be back soon."

At this moment, Wang Xiu actually had a vague guess in his heart about the reason why Gu Fenghou suddenly left, but he was just a little uncertain.

……

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

Inside the main temple of Qianwu Kingdom.

"Gu Feng, how come you have time to come to me?" The King of Qianwu State smiled as he looked at Marquis Gu Feng who had suddenly arrived.

King Qianwu has been in a good mood recently.

He had watched the recent video of the elimination match in Qianwu Secret Realm. Although Wang Xiu only made one strike, the Lord of Qianwu could still see that Wang Xiu had made great progress in the past two years.

In his opinion, this was all thanks to Gu Fenghou.

At this moment, seeing the hero coming over, I naturally feel happy.

"Your Majesty, great joy." At this moment, Marquis Gu Feng no longer had the forced calmness he had shown in front of Wang Xiu before, and said with a little excitement.

"Great joy?" The King of Qianwu was puzzled. It was not a festival yet and the next Universe Top Genius Competition had not started yet, so how could there be any great joy?

Could it be... that Gu Fenghou had a breakthrough?

Thinking of this, King Qianwu carefully examined the aura of Marquis Gu Feng.

Hiss...not like it.

Even though this is in a virtual universe, for people at their level, if there is a major breakthrough in strength, they will be able to notice something unusual.

But at this time, the King of Qianwu noticed nothing.

Standing in the center of the hall, Gu Fenghou looked at the expression of the Lord of Qianwu and realized that he had misunderstood. He immediately explained with a smile, "It was not me, but my disciple."

"You mean Wang Xiu?" The Lord of Qianwu suddenly realized that he was here to take credit, and immediately said with a smile, "I saw that the little guy performed well in the elimination round. As his teacher, you also have a contribution."

“Uh…” Gu Fenghou was somewhat helpless. He was not talking about this matter, so he stopped keeping the secret and said, “Lord, Wang Xiu has realized a little bit of the mysterious fur of the origin of space.”

"So that's how it is. I have comprehended a little bit of the mysterious law of space." The Lord of Qianwu suddenly realized that he had misunderstood. But suddenly he realized that something was wrong and stared at Gu Fenghou. "Are you sure it's the mysterious law of the origin of space?"

"I am sure." Marquis Gu Feng said firmly.

"I remember that little guy Wang Xiu is only at the star level, right?" King Qianwu suddenly said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, Lord." Gu Fenghou added, "and Wang Xiu is only 32 years old this year."

"Lord, it seems that Wang Xiu's talent is even more extraordinary than I imagined before."

“If he hadn’t cultivated for such a short time, and if he could be given hundreds or thousands of years more, I’m afraid Wang Xiu’s understanding of the laws of space would be comparable to that of some realm masters.”

"With such talent, it would be a pity to teach with conventional methods."

"That's true." The King of Qianwu nodded. He knew that since Gu Fenghou came to him, he must have had an idea in mind. "Do you have any other ideas?"

"Lord, with Wang Xiu's talent, we can now guide him to the path of comprehending the mysteries of the origin of space." Gu Fenghou said respectfully, "Although I have also comprehended the 108 mysteries of the origin of space."

“But after I understood the mystery, I wanted to break through to the King level, and I didn’t create the corresponding secret method.”

"Now that the battle of the top geniuses in the universe is about to begin, even if I start to create a secret method now, I am afraid it is too late."

“So I would like to ask the Lord to grant me the corresponding secret method to comprehend the mysteries of the laws of space and guide Wang Xiu in his cultivation.”

King Qianwu nodded.

Although he had not created any secret method to assist in comprehending the mysteries of the laws of space, after all, mastering it and creating a secret method specifically to guide people in comprehending the mysteries were two different things.

Ordinary immortals and even cosmic masters, even if they have comprehended the one hundred and eight mysteries, rarely go back and choose to create a set of secret methods to assist in comprehending the mysteries.

People are more inclined to create combat-related secrets.

However, although the King of Qianwu does not have it, it is available in the Virtual Universe Company.

Marquis Gu Feng also knew this, but he did not have enough authority.

After all, Wang Xiu is not a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, not even a member of the branch.

However, what Marquis Gu Feng could not do, King Qianwu could easily do.

He is the Lord of the Universe, and his authority in the Virtual Universe Company is much greater than that of Gu Fenghou.

"I don't have any secret manuals that can help you comprehend the fundamental mysteries of the laws of the origin of space." The Lord of Qianwu shook his head. "How about this, I'll send a copy of the Floating Blood Secret Manual to that little guy Wang Xiu later."

“Although Lian Luo, the creator of the Floating Blood Secret Book, is only an immortal marquis, this set of secret techniques is extremely good at analyzing the 108 mysteries of the origin of space.”

“Although the Secret Book of Floating Blood is the basic book of the Chaos City Jiuyu School, it only involves the basic mysteries of the origin of space and does not involve other things.”

“Even if Wang Xiu practices the Secret Book of Floating Blood, it will not prevent him from entering Chaos City and choosing other Chaos Monuments in the future.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Marquis Gu Feng was overjoyed.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can leave." King Qianwu waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Gu Feng immediately bowed, took his leave and left.

The biggest purpose of this trip was achieved, and Gu Fenghou was in a very good mood. After leaving the main temple of Qianwu Kingdom, he was teleported directly to Wang Xiu of Wuji Island without stopping.

……

Inside the temple, after Marquis Gu Feng left, King Qianwu looked at the battle video of Wang Xiu in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

"It gave me a surprise."

The next moment, King Qianwu slowly closed his eyes, and the scene in front of him disappeared instantly.

Although Lord Qianwu is the Supreme Lord of the Universe, he still has to pay a price to give the secret book of the Virtual Universe Company to a little guy who is not a member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Although this price is negligible for the King of Qianwu, it does not mean that everyone is qualified and willing to make him pay this price.

The reason why the King of Qianwu State acted like this was not because of what Gu Fenghou said about Wang Xiu obtaining the secret book and being able to have a major breakthrough before the battle with the top geniuses in the universe.

What a joke! There are only four years left until the next Universe Top Genius Battle.

How is it possible to achieve a breakthrough in four years with just one secret book?

Wang Xiu was in the Qianwu Secret Realm, not in Chaos City.

The King of Qianwu State was more interested in Wang Xiu as a person and the talent he displayed, which made him worthy of his investment.

Over the endless years, Wang Xiu was not the first genius he had invested in, nor would he be the last.

For the King of Qianwu, spending some resources, which are insignificant to him, would create a good relationship for himself.

With so many geniuses, it would be a good thing if at least one of them could grow up to be able to help me in the future.
