Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 148: King Longyu: I can tell whether it is a dragon or a bug at a glance (Happy New Year everyone!)

After obtaining the secret method of "Tian Yan", Wang Xiu couldn't wait to return to the manor in the primitive area.

Sitting in front of the desk, he placed the silver briefcase on the desk and opened it directly with a click.

The suitcase was filled with densely packed black-covered books, and there were at least a hundred of them.

With the example of "The Secret Book of Floating Blood" in front of him, Wang Xiu's mentality has become very peaceful.

This "Heavenly Secret Method" is very similar to "Floating Blood", both of which are analyses of the 108 basic mysteries of the origin laws of space.

The biggest difference between the two is that one is based on the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument and is presented in the form of swordsmanship.

The other one is based on the Heart Mark Chaos Monument and is presented in the form of a sword technique.

Wang Xiu had just comprehended the Heart Mark Chaos Monument not long ago. Now, when he saw the "Tian Yan Secret Method" which was created based on the Heart Mark Chaos Monument to analyze the essence of the laws of space, he was immediately immersed in it.

……

Chaos City, surrounded by chaotic air currents.

On the rooftop of one of the cultivation residences in this ancient city, Wang Xiu sat cross-legged on the rooftop, looking up at the crystal threads and the flowing secret patterns in the cracks in the chaotic sky. The mysterious feeling was intoxicating.

At this moment, the detailed explanation of the sword techniques in "Tian Yan Secret Method" involuntarily popped up in Wang Xiu's mind and unconsciously combined with those flowing secret patterns.

Wow!
Wang Xiu's fingers subconsciously scratched a series of messy marks on the rooftop floor.

Just as the predecessors had done on this rooftop for countless years.

Perhaps, several years later, these marks left unintentionally by Wang Xiu can also give some inspiration to other younger generations.

……

Ever since he became a disciple and obtained the "Tian Yan Secret Method", Wang Xiu's life in Chaos City has become extremely regular.

He would sit on the rooftop all day, comprehending the Heavenly Evolution and studying the nature of space laws. Sometimes he would sit on the rooftop for a month, or even longer.

Occasionally he would get up and go outside the city to slaughter a wave of Chaos Beasts, or go to the Extreme Sword King to ask for advice on the difficult problems he encountered when comprehending the laws.

As for comprehending the Chaos Monument, Wang Xiu had been forcing himself not to go.

The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Monument is very precious.

According to the rules of Tongtian Bridge, even if one becomes the ruler of the universe, one will only have 21 chances to comprehend the Chaos Monument.

From this we can see how precious the three opportunities that Wang Xiu had to comprehend the Chaos Monument were.

According to the instructions of Gu Fenghou and Ji Daowang, every opportunity for comprehension must be seized and not wasted.

You must first fully comprehend all the insights gained from the last time, and finally continue to study and think, with a lot of doubts in your mind... This is the time to watch "The Heart Mark Chaos Monument".

Because I have been thinking about it for a long time and have a lot of doubts in my mind, it is easy to suddenly understand and understand a lot when I watch it.

such!

The efficiency is high enough. After all, the opportunities to comprehend the Heart Mark Chaos Monument are limited.

……

On September 2074, 9, Wang Xiu obtained "Tian Yan" and officially began his cultivation career in Chaos City.

In January 2075, Luo Feng passed the first level of Tongtian Bridge.

In September 2075, Gu Si Luo passed the first level of Tongtian Bridge, and a few days later, Long Yun also passed the first level of Tongtian Bridge.

In September 2075, Wang Xiu entered the City Lord's Mansion and began to comprehend the "Heart Mark Chaos Monument". It took him seven days to comprehend the second and third basic mysteries.

From 76 to 77, Prince Wuka of Manka Star, Qianshui among the genius siblings... several people in Taichu District all passed the first level of Tongtian Bridge.

It has been almost a year since Wang Xiu and his team entered Chaos City. (The speed of time in Chaos City and the original universe is different, with a ratio of about one to three. One year in Chaos City is equivalent to more than three years in the outside universe.)
In the second and third years of Chaos City, many geniuses from the Tian District and the Doomsday District began to pass through the first floor of the Tongtian Bridge in large numbers.

Among the more than 1000 survivors among this group of geniuses, the last time they passed the first level of Tongtian Bridge was at the end of the fourth year after arriving in Chaos City.

……

In Chaos City, at the beginning, Wang Xiu went outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts quite frequently.

But as time passed, Wang Xiu found that the effect of the Chaos Spirit was getting weaker and weaker. In addition, every time Wang Xiu went outside the city to hunt Chaos Beasts, the Chaos Beasts would riot collectively.

Wang Xiu simply stopped wasting time hunting Chaos Beasts, and only went out occasionally to use Chaos Beasts to test some of his insights. He spent most of his time sitting on the rooftop.

The other geniuses were also very active at the beginning, but later, like Wang Xiu, they gradually stopped leaving the city and focused on practicing.

Just like those powerful people sitting on the rooftop and meditating in peace and contemplation that they saw when they first came to Chaos City.

……

In the original universe.

In August of the Chinese calendar 2082, Wang Xiu's only daughter got married, and her husband turned out to be Luo Feng's eldest son Luo Ping.

This made Wang Xiu very depressed, and Luo Feng even came to him specifically to drink.

In name, it was to celebrate the two little guys' wedding, but in Wang Xiu's opinion, this guy was just showing off!

Luo Feng has two sons, but he only has one daughter!
However, despite feeling depressed, Wang Xiu also felt somewhat relieved.

After all, in his opinion, Luo Ping was someone he knew well, and he also had a calm temperament.

With just me and Luo Feng around, even if the two little ones did nothing all their lives, it would be enough for them to live happily and carefree forever.

Since he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, it didn't seem like a bad thing to have the calm Luo Ping accompany his daughter.

When he thought of this, Wang Xiu felt relieved.

The following year, Wang Letian's child was born. Looking at the chubby little one and the happy smile on his daughter's face through the virtual universe network, the last bit of depression in Wang Xiu's heart completely dissipated.

But... looking at the chubby little guy in his daughter's arms, Wang Xiu couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Before I knew it, I was being called grandpa.

In 2086, the Earth Base City began to expand because more than years had passed since the battle with the Devouring Beast.

More than 20 years have passed, and the earth's higher-ups have not controlled ordinary people's childbearing. They still encourage people to have multiple births as they did in the past. In the past, humans were unsafe, so of course the more people the better.

As for now, the earth has begun to connect with the universe and discovered that the universe is vast and many races have hundreds of millions of people. The earth's population is too small, so it will naturally not control the population. With the rapid advancement of technology on earth, it is easy to feed more people.

In 88, the human survival area on Earth was larger, and the human advantage on land was getting stronger and stronger. In fact, it was mainly because the Earthlings had never exterminated those monsters... For the Earthlings, the monsters today were the objects of trial for the "warriors".

In 92, humans on Earth began to build cities on some large islands in many seas such as the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. This marked that humans on Earth had finally begun to enter the "sea".

In 99, the transformation of Mars began.

……

In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed on Earth.

Even the little guy born after Wang Letian and Luo Ping got married is already married.

The earth has undergone tremendous changes.

But in Chaos City, only ten years have passed.

Ten years. As one of the holy places of the human race in the entire universe, Chaos City has existed for hundreds of millions of years. In just ten years, Chaos City has hardly changed at all.

It was still shrouded in chaotic air currents, and there were still countless practitioners on the rooftop.

If there were a camera recording the scene ten years ago and comparing it with the scene ten years later, it might be discovered that most of the cultivators in the entire Chaos City had not moved for the entire ten years!
……

In Chaos City.

A building of strange style, where light and dark seem to be in perfect harmony.

King Zhenyan, King Tongnan, and King Longyu, three super beings who hold extremely high status in the Virtual Universe Company, are sitting together.

The three kings of Zhenyan have a very deep relationship.

As beings with extremely long lifespans, even if they could allow their relatives to live for a thousand epochs, their relatives would still have died long ago in the long river of time.

There is no way, even if they are powerful, long-lived, and seem to be omnipotent. But the original universe is fair, if you want to have eternal life, you must break through to the immortal level.

It is extremely difficult to break through to the immortal level.

Back then, the three of them were not as powerful as they are now, and the resources they could provide to their loved ones were extremely limited.

In addition, the talents of their relatives were limited, resulting in none of them being able to break through to immortality.

Perhaps there are methods or treasures in the original universe that can help people obtain eternal and immortal life through external forces, but that kind of existence is not something that beings of their level can get involved in.

Therefore, King Zhenyan, King Longyu, and King Tongnan have no relatives. To them, friends who have experienced life and death battles together are equivalent to their relatives.

Zhen Yan, Tong Nan and Long Yu were once in the same team and are friends for life and death!
Experiencing disasters again and again!

The feelings between them are very deep, especially between Tong Nan and Long Yu, who even have a hint of affection for each other.

However, King Tongnan and King Longyu never broke through that barrier. Although they understood each other's thoughts, they still kept their distance.

They have also gotten used to this feeling, as if they are both friends and partners.

"Why are you here this time?" asked King Tongnan.

"Follow the order of the Venerable." King Longyu said with a smile.

"Venerable Nine Swords?" King Zhen Yan asked in surprise, "What did the Venerable ask you to do?"

"The Venerable pays more attention to this group of newcomers. They need to stay in Chaos City for more than 30 years. Now one-third of the time has passed, and we can see their future achievements to a certain extent." Long Yu smiled, "And the Venerable will only come to pick up this group of newcomers in the last year. As for the usual observation, he will naturally send his subordinates over. So I am here."

"Oh!" King Tong Nan nodded and said, "That's right, this group of newcomers are being led by the Nine Swords Venerable. If a strong person emerges in the future, he will be under the command of the Nine Swords Venerable."

"Yes." Long Yu smiled, "Although the probability of this group of geniuses becoming immortal is very low, it is estimated that there will still be a few who can become immortal in the end!"

"With their talents and the long-term focus of our Virtual Universe Company's training, once they become immortals, they will definitely not be ordinary immortals. Your Excellency will certainly pay attention to your future subordinates."

Every time there is a battle between geniuses or strong men, the Virtual Universe Company will send a venerable to preside over it!

Whoever is in charge, the genius of this session who eventually becomes "immortal" will be assigned to serve under this venerable.

If there was no such reason, with the status of the Venerable, why would he specially send a group of newcomers to Chaos City and then go to pick them up in person at the end?

"This group of newcomers is very good, especially that Bolan, who passed the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge half a year ago!" King Tongnan picked up the wine glass and drank a little.

"Among the other geniuses, there are seven who have broken through to the second level of Tongtian Bridge, and the rest are all at the first level of Tongtian Bridge. These seven are... Gu Si Luo, Long Yun, Jia Lai Xi, Tao, Qian Shui, Wu Ka, and Rong Jun."

"Oh, yes, there is also Wang Xiu. When he first came to Chaos City, he went straight through the third level of Tongtian Bridge, which really caused a sensation."

"If he hadn't chosen the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, I would have been tempted to accept him as my disciple. Unfortunately, in the end, the Extreme Sword King won the first place."

"Humph." King Zhen Yan snorted coldly, dissatisfied, "Such a good seedling is wasted in the hands of King Ji Dao."

Longyu and Tongnan looked at King Zhenyan with some amusement, as he had a face full of resentment.

As good friends of King Zhenyan, they knew about the "grudge" between King Zhenyan and King Jidao.

If the three of them are close friends, then King Zhenyan and King Jidao are enemies.

One of them is a leading figure among the current founders of the Xinhen School, and the other is a leading figure among the current founders of the Jiuyu School.

It just so happens that there is a direct competitive relationship between the Jiuyu School and the Xinhen School.

And because of the characteristics of the Xinhen Chaos Monument and the Jiuyu Chaos Monument, the Jiuyu School has always been one step ahead of the Xinhen School in the competition for "genius students".

Over time, King Zhenyan and King Jidao began to get tired of each other.

One feels that the other party has snatched away his good seedlings.

The other one felt that the other party’s teaching level was so poor that he was not worthy of establishing his own school.

but……

A trace of doubt and solemnity appeared on King Longyu's face: "Which level has Wang Xiu passed now?"

"The third floor!" King Zhen Yan replied unhappily, "Why else do you think I'm so angry?"

"Although I usually dislike that old fellow Ji Dao Wang, I am not a narrow-minded person."

"I really can't bear to see that guy Ji Dao Wang misleading young people."

"A good seedling, but in his hands, it has made no progress in ten years!"

"These ten years have been wasted."

Upon hearing this, Longyu couldn't help but nodded silently. That's true.

Although King Zhenyan has a hot temper, he has always been upright and magnanimous.

But...if that's the case, then that's the reason why King of Swords is here.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why a genius who could directly pass the third level of Tongtian Bridge before becoming a disciple has made no progress in Chaos City for ten years.

"Ten years... Fortunately, Wang Xiu has a solid foundation. Even if he has wasted ten years, he is still considered to be in the first echelon. If he does not waste the rest of his time, there should still be hope." King Longyu said silently in his heart.

"Zhen Yan, please stop talking," King Tong Nan said at this time, "King Ji Dao is at the same level as you and me after all, and he is not bad at teaching his disciples."

"It remains to be seen whether Wang Xiu has wasted ten years or is just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger."

"Don't forget, Wang Xiu, that little fellow, has never crossed the Tongtian Bridge again since then, except for the one time he crossed it at the beginning!"

King Zhen Yan was silent for a moment and did not refute. He just shook his head silently, obviously not optimistic about Wang Xiu.

Who would be stupid enough to have the ability but not try to cross the sky bridge?

After all, what you get by passing through a level of Tongtian Bridge is not only honor, but also points and the number of times you comprehend the Chaos Monument!
Upon seeing this, King Longyu immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you two don't have to argue anymore."

"Since I'm here to observe them, I can't just take a look and leave. I have to observe them for a while."

"The first target is Bolan and Wang Xiu."

"The Venerable attaches great importance to these two people, so I have to pay some attention to them."

"Whether Wang Xiu is a dragon or a worm, we will know when the time comes."

　I wish you all a happy new year! Poor Sanzheng has no drafts saved, so I wrote this chapter temporarily while hiding in my bedroom.
