Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

What does Chapter 142 have to do with me?
Initial universe, Chaos City.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Xiu and 13 others quickly left.

Chaos City occupies a very large area. Except for a few special buildings, all the training residences are almost identical, and the "doors" of most of the training residences are light white, which means that the training residences do not have an owner yet.

Wang Xiu randomly chose an empty residence for cultivation near the City Lord's Mansion.

Stand in front of the door of your cultivation residence with your hands on the door.

"Beep, beep, beep..." The sound gradually sounded from the door, and at the same time, the color of the door began to gradually darken, from light white to dark gray, and then stopped changing.

"Welcome, Master." An electronic voice sounded.

"Ok!"

Wang Xiu went directly into the training residence. On the first floor was a large living room with complete and advanced facilities. The electronic voice continued to sound:
"I am a service intelligence. During the period when the master lives there, I serve the master. Whatever the master needs, such as eating, drinking, etc., just ask."

"Yeah!" Wang Xiu went straight up the stairs, turned into a shadow, and instantly rushed to the rooftop on the third floor.

There are also some random inscriptions of insights left by previous practitioners on the rooftop, but there is no pattern to them. Although one can vaguely feel some special artistic conception, after seeing the "52 Chaos Stele", one is not very interested in these irregular and messy inscriptions.

In the original universe, time is precious and cannot be wasted on inefficient things.

"Advanced virtual universe network, it's time to break through the sky bridge!"

……

Virtual Universe, Manor No. 114, Yuxiangshan Primitive Area.

Wang Xiu appeared in the manor.

"Your Highness!"

A group of servants and guards saluted.

"Yes!" Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Apply to enter Tongtian Bridge."

"Good host."

The fist-sized virtual assistant elf on Wang Xiu's shoulder immediately began to contact the virtual universe system to submit an application.

Soon, a voice sounded in Wang Xiu's mind:

"Identity confirmed, Wang Xiu, you are now permanently qualified to enter Tongtian Bridge. I hope you work hard and reach the end of Tongtian Bridge."

"Teleport now!"

brush!
Wang Xiu disappeared directly in the manor.

……

Virtual universe, a special plane space.

This plane space is an endless ocean with turbulent waters.

There is the only beautiful island in the ocean, with a total of 52 ports on the edge of the beautiful island.

An endless long bridge extends from each port, stretching all the way to the end of the sky and the earth, as if connecting to the distant horizon. These 52 long bridges completely cover the entire ocean.

There is still a faint mist above the waves of the ocean, making it difficult to see clearly what is in the ocean. The mist wraps around the long bridge, making everything look like a dream.

Wang Xiu suddenly appeared in the square in the center of the island.

"Wang Xiu."

"Wang Xiu, you are here too."

There were already 9 young people around. Wang Xiu took a look and found that these people were the ones who had gone to comprehend the "Heart Mark Chaos Monument" with him before.

"Yes." Wang Xiu nodded, and then his eyes fell on the 52 long bridges in the distance, "This should be the Tongtian Bridge."

"Master Guardian!"

"Lord Guardian."

……

Hearing the greetings ringing one after another in his ears, Wang Xiu couldn't help but look back.

I saw a man wearing a black star robe standing not far from the square. The man had four ears but no nose. He walked over with a smile on his face:

"Hello, Wang Xiu, I am Bafen, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane, but I prefer others to call me the guardian."

"Hello, Lord Guardian." Wang Xiu saluted respectfully.

"Let me introduce it to you." Guardian Baffin nodded, "This Tongtian Bridge plane was created for the 52 Chaos Monuments in Chaos City."

"Because our human race in the universe has been comprehending 52 Chaos Monuments for billions of years, 52 schools have been formed in Chaos City." Guardian Bafen said with emotion, "For example, you all comprehended the 'Heart Mark Chaos Monument', so you are naturally members of the 'Heart Mark' school."

"Even if one comprehends the Chaos Monument at the same time, there are different levels of comprehension. Only those with higher strength will be given another chance to comprehend the Chaos Monument by Chaos City."

coming!

Although Wang Xiu already knew the significance of the existence of the Tongtian Bridge, this was his first time in Chaos City.

In order to avoid being suspected of being a spy, Wang Xiu could only pretend that he knew nothing.

"How to prove the level of strength? It's not just words." Guardian Baffin said with a smile, "So we built the Tongtian Bridge plane in the virtual universe and broke through the bridge. The farther we go, the stronger our strength is!"

"There are 52 bridges on this island, corresponding to 52 Chaos Monuments. You are here to comprehend the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, so go and cross the 'Heart Mark Bridge'. This 'Heart Mark Bridge' is extremely long, and you need to keep going up layer by layer. There are a total of 26 layers!"

"If you successfully pass the first level, you will get a chance to comprehend. Every time you pass another level, you will get another chance to comprehend!" The guardian Bafen looked at Wang Xiu with a smile.

“So that’s how it is.” Wang Xiu said with emotion.

It seems that this Heart Mark Chaos Monument is indeed weaker than the Nine Universe Chaos Monument.

The Jiuyu Tongtian Bridge corresponding to the Jiuyu Chaos Monument has 27 floors, while the Xinhen Tongtian Bridge corresponding to the Xinhen Chaos Monument has only 26 floors.

Fortunately, the gap was not as big as Wang Xiu had imagined.

Moreover...if you pass the 21st level of Tongtian Bridge, you can become the Lord of the Universe.

In other words, no matter how strong or weak the 52 Chaos Monuments are, each of them contains at least the complete mysteries of the origin laws of space or the origin laws of time.

The so-called strength and weakness refer to the level of the Universe Master.

"Master Guardian, is this Tongtian Bridge difficult to cross?" Wang Xiu asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Guardian Baffin looked at Wang Xiu in surprise.

Over the years, I have always been the one who introduced to others how difficult it is to cross the Tongtian Bridge. It is rare to see people asking me about it.

Facing the questioning gaze of the guardian Baffin, Wang Xiu's eyes were calm and clear.

"Indeed, the Tongtian Bridge is indeed difficult to cross." Seeing this, the guard Bafen thought that Wang Xiu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, so he didn't think any more about it and nodded.

"Little guys like you usually can't even get through the first floor at first."

"The Heart Mark Bridge has 26 levels in total! The farther you go, the deeper your understanding of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument will be. If you can fully comprehend the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, you can pass all 26 levels, but... this is too difficult."

"Immortality usually reaches the 10th floor." Guardian Baffin sighed. "If you reach the 18th floor, you will be considered an almost invincible existence in immortality. If you reach the 21st floor... you can become the 'Lord of the Universe' .”

Wang Xiu listened, his expression remained calm, but there was a slight fluctuation in the depths of his eyes.

"This little guy is really calm." Seeing this, the Guardian Bafen couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Hmm... he should have known this information in advance. I don't know whose descendant he is."

However, although he was secretly muttering in his heart, on the surface, the guardian Baffin still had a smile on his face.

There is no way around it. It is almost a cliché to paint a rosy picture for the human geniuses who come to Chaos City for the first time.

This is also one of his basic jobs as the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane.

The purpose is to maximize the motivation of these geniuses to make progress.

It's just a pie in the sky, and it doesn't cost any money. Over the years, over and over again, to be honest, the guardian Baffin is almost sick of it.

Especially when they meet guys like Wang Xiu, who have a family background and have known some inside information early on, they have no reaction to those tricks at all.

Every time this happened, it was the most painful time for the Guardian Baffin.

I know you know it, but I still have to pretend that you don't know it to fool you... to paint a rosy picture for you.

"Try Harder!"

"This is a road to the top. There are a lot of people in the universe who follow these 52 schools. Once you can pass the 18th level, you will directly obtain the qualification of permanent residents of Chaos City without any other additional conditions!"

"Huh, it's finally done."

The guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Wang Xiu nodded politely, "Thank you, Lord Guardian, for clearing up my doubts."

Wang Xiu personally respects this guardian very much.

Suddenly, the guardian Bafen was stunned, and then looked at Wang Xiu and others and said: "The person who entered before failed."

"Next, let's go to the Heart Mark Bridge."

"I come……"

One of the nine people who had arrived earlier immediately turned into a stream of light and flew towards the "Heart Mark Bridge" among the 9 bridges. Just two minutes later, the guardian Bafen said, "It's still a failure. Continue to the next one."

"Another failure, next one."

"Failure, next one."

……

Wang Xiu watched as the number of people at the Xinhen Tongtian Bridge Port gradually decreased, but no one was able to get past the first level, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored.

He had no interest in competing with these people, so it didn't matter if he was the last one to go in.

Anyway, he will be the first one among this group of geniuses entering Chaos City to pass the third level of Tongtian Bridge.

"Wang Xiu!"

Wang Xiu heard the voice and looked, only to find it was Bolan.

It was then that Wang Xiu discovered that perhaps because the time for comprehending the Chaos Monument had expired, more and more people were gathering in the square.

"It seems that I came out early." Wang Xiu glanced at the increasing number of people around him.

The people in the square now are basically the 800 or so geniuses who went to comprehend in the first wave.

They chose different Chaos Monuments, started their comprehension at different times, and naturally ended at different times as well.

However, because they all went in together, the time for the previous group of people who were meditating in the Chaos Monument's training chamber to come out was almost here.

The time it took for these 800 or so people to finally come out of the Chaos Monument's training chamber was only two or three hours apart at most.

"Wang Xiu, do you want to break through the Tongtian Bridge?" Bolan's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Xiu.

Bolan and Wang Xiu are the leading figures in this genius competition.

The two strongest freaks face off!
It immediately attracted the attention of the young geniuses who were waiting in the square to break through the sky bridge. Some old people who had already entered Chaos City were a little confused when they saw this. After asking about the whole story, they immediately looked at the two with a smile.

The first and second geniuses faced off... Tsk tsk, this is much more interesting than that old guy Baffin, the Guardian.

Noticing the gazes of people around him, Wang Xiu felt helpless.

It is indeed human nature to watch the fun.

"Bolan, what do you want to say?" Wang Xiu said unhappily, "Why would I come here if not to cross the Tongtian Bridge?"

"Want to see the scenery?"

"Uh..." Bolan's expression froze. Fortunately, he always had a cold poker face, so others didn't notice anything unusual. "I won't lose this time!"

"Whatever you want." Wang Xiu waved his hands helplessly.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy lately, he seems like he’s possessed by a demon.

Whenever he saw him, he would say those two sentences, and Wang Xiu had almost memorized them.

"Wang Xiu, it's your turn." Suddenly, the guard Baffin on the side spoke.

"Where are the others?" Wang Xiu asked casually.

"They all failed. Among the 13 people who chose the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, no one except you was able to get past the first level." Bafen answered truthfully.

"Okay." Wang Xiu shrugged, then turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the Heart Mark Bridge not far away.

But Bolan, who was not far away, heard what the guardian Baffin had just said and stepped forward and asked in confusion:
"Master Guardian, you just said that all 13 people who chose the Heart Scar Chaos Monument failed?"

……

The Tongtian Bridge stretches to the end of the sky and the earth, surrounded by misty white fog and surging sea water below.

The moment Wang Xiu stepped into the Heart Mark Bridge, he had an idea: "Is there an email? Is it from the Virtual Universe Company?"

Wang Xiu couldn't help but stop and click to take a look.

"Points reward rules." Wang Xiu thought to himself, "Ten times the points reward... So if I can get through the first three levels in a row, I should be able to get 7000 points."

"Not bad." Wang Xiu said with a smile.

Wang Xiu looked at the Tongtian Bridge extending to the end of the clouds and mist, narrowed his eyes, and then turned into a stream of light and flew away.

……

In Chaos City, inside one of the vast mansions.

Deep inside the mansion, in a pavilion.

"Shadow Knife King, I just got the news that the first choice for this year's Universe's Top Genius Tournament is the Heart Mark Chaos Monument!" One of the middle-aged men with a rather burly figure said with a smile, looking very excited.

"Who's the first in this year's genius competition?" The man called Shadow Knife King murmured in a low voice, "Is it the little guy who has understood a little bit of the essence of the origin of space?"

The burly middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Yes, that little guy."

"Hehe, things change. In previous years, all the good seedlings were snatched away by other schools. This time it's finally our turn." As he said this, the burly middle-aged man was a little emotional.

Shadow Knife King looked at the burly middle-aged man with amusement and shook his head.

In fact, seriously speaking, the Heart Mark Chaos Monument is not bad. The Heart Mark Bridge has a total of 26 floors, which ranks in the upper-top ten among the 52 Chaos Monuments.

Unfortunately, both the Heart Mark Chaos Monument and the Nine Universe Chaos Monument involve the laws of gold and the origin of space.

One is to start with the law of the origin of gold, and the other is to start with the law of the origin of space.

In the eyes of those who are not aware of the situation, they think that the Heart Mark Chaos Monument is not as good as the Nine Universe Chaos Monument.

Although the Xinhen Tongtian Bridge does have one less level than the Jiuyu Tongtian Bridge, it still only has one level!
But there is no way, the geniuses don’t have that much time when choosing the Chaos Monument.

If you want to see all 52 Chaos Monument portraits within half an hour, you have to make the right choice.

Time is tight and everyone has almost no time to think carefully, so they just go by first impression.

But unfortunately, the Heart Mark Chaos Monument is at a disadvantage in this regard.

but……

Shadow Knife King looked at the burly middle-aged man and said, "King Ji Knife, this class is composed of geniuses from the Virtual Universe Company."

"I am from the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. What does this genius have to do with me?"
