Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 156: Become a disciple and return to the original universe (Second update, updates)

"Teacher, I have made up my mind." Wang Xiu raised his head and said seriously, "I am going to choose the Nine Swords Master!"

Although Wang Xiu really wanted to become Chaos City Lord's disciple, the Lord did not give him the opportunity.

In the original story line, although the Lord of Chaos City did not send an email to Luo Feng, he at least sent someone to convey a message to Luo Feng's teacher at the time, King Zhen Yan.

But when it was Wang Xiu's turn, the Lord of Chaos City not only did not send an email, but also did not send any message to King Jidao.

In desperation, Wang Xiu could only pick the tallest one among the short ones and choose the Nine Swords Master whom he was most familiar with.

At least... in Wang Xiu's memory, the Nine Swords Master should be a pretty good person.

Apart from being a little arrogant, there is nothing wrong with him.

Moreover, the Nine Swords Venerable is extremely protective of his protégé. In the original story line, because Hong Chuang broke through the Illusion Sea, the secret of the Earth was exposed. The Immortal Venerable and the Nightmare King and others wanted to take the people of Earth as hostages and forcibly buy the Earth.

After Luo Feng learned about this, he reported it to the Nine Swords Master.

The Nine Swords Master immediately mobilized the immortal army to support Luo Feng.

Although Venerable Nine Swords had his own little thoughts, as Luo Feng's direct subordinate at the time, it was already very considerate of him to be able to do this.

At least he is serious about something!

"Nine Swords Venerable?" King Ji Dao nodded. "That's fine. After all, Nine Swords Venerable is your direct Venerable. It makes sense to choose him. This way, the other Venerables won't say anything, and they won't be angry with you."

"Now that the decision has been made, let's write a reply to Venerable Nine Swords now, and also reply to the other Venerables, using polite wording." King Ji Dao instructed.

"Okay, teacher." Wang Xiu nodded.

After a while.

"Have you replied everything?" asked King Jidao with a smile.

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded.

With the help of the virtual universe system, it’s just a matter of replying a few emails, and it’s still very quick.

"In that case, you can practice here." King Ji Dao said with a smile, "The Nine Swords Master is in Chaos City right now. If I guess correctly, he will summon you soon."

"I have already informed Queen Longyu. When the time comes, she will come directly to me."

……

After a while.

"Longyu, you're here?" King Jidao's expression changed, and he looked up at the sky with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu also looked up and saw a beautiful woman in emerald green armor and flowing purple hair slowly descending.

"Greetings, King Longyu." Wang Xiu bowed respectfully.

"Yes." King Longyu nodded, then looked at King Jidao who was standing beside him, "Jidao, the Venerable has ordered me to take Wang Xiu to see him."

"Haha, okay." Ji Dao waved his hand with a smile, "You're a little late. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

King Longyu smiled upon hearing this, and then looked at Wang Xiu who was standing respectfully beside him: "Let's go."

After Wang Xiu respectfully bowed to King Jidao again, he followed King Longyu and rushed into the sky and left.

……

Outside the Kandri Mansion.

The figures of Wang Xiu and King Longyu slowly fell, and Wang Xiu looked at the mansion in front of him curiously.

Although this mansion covers a large area, it looks extremely simple and is located in a very remote area. Although Wang Xiu has been in this Chaos City for thirty years, this is his first time here.

"This is the residence of Lord Kendri." As if seeing Wang Xiu's confusion, King Longyu took the initiative to explain.

As the first general under the command of the Nine Swords Master, King Longyu naturally knew that Wang Xiu would be the Nine Swords Master's disciple in the future.

Moreover, with Wang Xiu's talent, his future achievements will certainly not be inferior to his own.

King Longyu naturally became much more polite to Wang Xiu.

"We will go in later. Don't talk nonsense or look around." King Longyu instructed, "Just answer whatever the venerable asks you."

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded.

King Longyu nodded upon seeing this, and then took Wang Xiu into the mansion.

Soon, the two arrived at a lobby.

Inside the lobby, the purple-scaled man, the Nine Swords Master, and the three-eyed old man, Kandri, sat at the top of the lobby, staring at the two people who walked in with sharp eyes.

"Your Excellency, Lord Kandeli, Wang Xiu has already arrived." After arriving at the center of the hall, King Longyu bowed and saluted respectfully.

"Greetings to the Venerable Nine Swords, and greetings to Lord Kandeli." Wang Xiu also bowed respectfully.

"Haha, little guy, you're still calling me Venerable now?" The three-eyed old man Kandeli, who was standing next to Venerable Nine Swords, couldn't help but joked with a smile when he saw this.

Wang Xiu raised his brows, then glanced at the Nine Swords Master who was sitting beside him. His mind moved, and he immediately said respectfully:
"Disciple Wang Xiu, greetings to the teacher!"

“Haha, good!” Seeing Wang Xiu being so sensible, the Nine Swords Master laughed and said, “From now on, you will be the 53rd disciple of my Nine Swords Master!”

"Haha, congratulations, Jiujian." Kandri smiled and congratulated, "It's really enviable to have such a talented disciple."

"Haha." The Nine Swords Master smiled, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

"Wang Xiu, since you have become my disciple, as your teacher, I naturally have to give you a gift." The Nine Swords Master pondered for a moment, and then said, "You comprehended the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, so I will give you a set of Heart Mark."

"'Heart Scar'?" Wang Xiu widened his eyes.

In the treasure and secret category of the Virtual Universe Company, there is a book called "Heart Scar".

Because the name was too strange, Wang Xiu had specifically asked Ji Dao Wang about it.

According to King Ji Dao, this "Heart Mark" was written by the creator of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument based on the nine pictures of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument, and it contains many secret techniques.

In the treasury, the price of "Heart Scar" is ridiculously high. A complete set of nine volumes requires 100 billion points.

You know, even if you pass the 21st level of Tongtian Bridge and become the Lord of the Universe, you will only have million points.

Even the Lord of the Universe would feel painful and tremble with fear over these 100 billion points.

Is the Nine Swords Master so good to me?

Wang Xiu suddenly felt that he was quite happy to have the Nine Swords Master as his teacher.

"What are you thinking about?" The Nine Swords Master looked at Wang Xiu expressionlessly, and then said calmly, "I didn't say I would give you the whole set."

"The Heart Mark Chaos Monument is extremely mysterious. If you understand the first seven pictures, you can become a universe master."

"And the complete set of Heart Mark consists of nine volumes, corresponding to the nine pictures of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument."

"So, I will only give you the first seven volumes of Heart Scar!"

Wang Xiu nodded, indicating that he had no objection.

The first seven volumes are fine too.

In the treasury of the Virtual Universe Company, the price tag for the first seven volumes of "Heart Scar" is 10 billion points!

Even if Wang Xiu passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge, with the blessing of ten times the points, including the 10,000 points rewarded at the beginning, his current points were only a little over 200,000.

It’s still a long way from one billion points.

"Don't be too happy yet." Seeing this, the Nine Swords Master shook his head helplessly, "I give you the Heart Scar with conditions."

"You must fully comprehend the first picture on the Heart Mark Chaos Monument before I can give you the Heart Mark corresponding to the next picture."

"I've seen the video of you breaking through the sky bridge. You should have completely understood the first two pictures of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument by now."

"I will give you the first three volumes of Heart Scar later."

"As for the fourth volume of Heart Mark, it depends on when you can comprehend the third picture of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument."

"Yes, teacher." Wang Xiu's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and then he bowed respectfully and agreed.

"Well." The Nine Swordsman waved his hand. "Go ahead. You have just finished comprehending the Chaos Monument. It is time to consolidate your understanding. Don't waste time here. Let Longyu take you back."

"Remember to gather in seven days and return to the original universe."

Wang Xiu was a little surprised when he heard this. Seven days?
Didn’t we say before that we would gather back to the original universe in two days?
King Longyu, who was standing by, glanced at Wang Xiu and felt deeply moved.

As a cosmic venerable, Venerable Jiujian was willing to wait for five more days for a tiny cosmic-level being, just to allow this cosmic-level being to have enough time to sort out and consolidate his insights.

He really is...very protective of his child.

But it is precisely for this reason that King Longyu is willing to follow the Nine Swords Master.

After all, who wouldn’t want to follow a protective boss?
……

Seven days later.

On the rooftop of his training residence, Wang Xiu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, sorting out and consolidating what he had gained from comprehending the Heart Mark Chaos Monument over the previous seven days. Occasionally, he looked up at the sky, watching the secret patterns of the origin of the universe flowing naturally in the cracks in the universe, reflecting each other and gaining something from time to time.

"Get ready to go!" A voice suddenly echoed in Wang Xiu's mind. "Huh?" Wang Xiu woke up with a start, and saw a blue spaceship in the shape of a big fish hovering over Chaos City in the sky in the distance, and figures were rising into the sky.

"Are we setting off?" Wang Xiu also soared into the sky.

More than 800 people flew towards the spaceship from all over Chaos City.

While flying towards the spaceship, Wang Xiu looked down at the ancient city shrouded in chaotic airflow: "Teacher!"

"Once you go out, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more dangerous than staying in Chaos City. Be careful and don't bring shame to my Ji Dao." A voice penetrated thousands of miles and rang in Wang Xiu's ears.

"If you encounter something that you really can't solve, you can come to me, your master. If that doesn't work, you can also go to the Nine Swords Master. The Master is quite protective of his children."

"Yeah!" Wang Xiu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and nodded heavily.

I have been with my teacher for 20 years, and of course I have a deep relationship.

It’s just that Master Jidao Wang’s personality…

It can only be said that those who are as powerful as Ji Dao Wang but have stayed in Chaos City are mostly the type with hot temper, fearless and unrestrained.

So is King Zhenyan and King Jidao.

……

One after another, figures flew into the spacecraft along the entrance to the belly hatch of the "big fish".

In the lounge of the spaceship.

As soon as the 816 young people entered the lounge, they started chatting with each other in a familiar way.

"Brother Xiu, the first time you entered Chaos City, you directly passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. Has that broken the record of Chaos City?" Luo Feng stepped forward and winked.

"Records?" Wang Xiu shook his head. He really didn't know much about these things.

But he guessed that it was not.

The human population is too large and its history is too long.

The huge population base and extremely long years have produced countless peerless geniuses.

Compared with those geniuses in history, I can only say that I am pretty good, but definitely not at the level of breaking records.

Otherwise, the Lord of Chaos City would have taken the initiative to accept him as his disciple long ago, and it would never have been the turn of the Nine Swords Master.

"Wang Xiu, don't be so modest." Rong Jun also came over at this time, "I once heard my teacher mention that in the 1,000th genius competition held recently by our Virtual Universe Company, no one made it past the sixth level, let alone the eighth level."

"Hey, doesn't that mean Bolan has also broken the record?" Uka, who came over, said in surprise as if he had discovered a new continent.

"..."

Wang Xiu glanced at Bolan who was standing silently not far away, and then looked at Wuka, and was suddenly speechless.

Do you say this because you think Bolan is not heartbroken enough?

Although your voice is not loud, everyone here is at cosmic level and their hearing is better than each other.

At such a close distance, even if you speak very quietly, it will be no different from whispering in his ear.

Just when Wang Xiu was secretly complaining in his heart, Bolan suddenly walked over.

"Wang Xiu, I understand now." Standing in front of Wang Xiu, Bolan looked at him and said, "I won't be left behind by you again."

Looking at Bolan who was extremely serious, Wang Xiu was suddenly stunned.

Because he found that Bolan seemed to be a little different.

As for what was different, Wang Xiu couldn't tell.

It just felt like Bolan had let go of some burden, and his whole demeanor was different.

"Okay, I'll wait for you out front." Wang Xiu didn't think much about it and looked at Bolan calmly.

He never worried about being surpassed by Bolan. Since he came into this world, those who were left behind by him would only be left further and further behind by him, and there was no precedent of anyone catching up with him!

"Boom..."

As the figure wearing a blue shirt walked into the hall, the heart-stopping aura made everyone quiet down and dare not say a word.

"The 30 years of basic training in Chaos City has come to an end." The Nine Swords Master looked at the 816 young people in front of him. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at him. "The mortality rate of your class is relatively poor, but your performance is very good, especially Wang Xiu, Bo Lan, Luo Feng, and Rong Jun. They are very good."

Suddenly, the large group of young people below became a little agitated, and many of them turned to look at the four people.

Wang Xiu and Bo Lan, one passed through the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge, and the other passed through the sixth level! They were so far ahead at the beginning that everyone was numb.

Luo Feng passed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge!

Rong Jun passed the fourth level of Tongtian Bridge!

Among these three people, everyone felt "numb" towards Wang Xiu and Bo Lan.

I feel "envious" of Rong Jun, envious that he has a universe king as his teacher.

But he was "amazed and impressed" about Luo Feng. Without the Lord of the Universe as his teacher, he actually passed the fifth level. This progress was indeed amazing!
"Okay, let's go back to the original universe. If you are willing to practice, then practice. If you are not willing, then just wait here obediently." After saying this, the Nine Swords Master looked at Wang Xiu, "Wang Xiu, come with me."

"Yes, teacher." Wang Xiu saluted respectfully, then followed the Nine Swords Master away.

As soon as the two figures left the lounge, all the geniuses exploded.

"teacher?"

"Wang Xiu calls the Nine Swords Master "teacher"? Could it be that the Nine Swords Master has already accepted Wang Xiu as his disciple?"

“Never heard of it before?”

"It should be after Wang Xiu passed through the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. The time was too short, so we don't know."

"It's incredible that there are actually two people in our class who have been accepted as disciples by a cosmic master-level being."

……

After going through the passage where time flows at an irregular speed, the spaceship finally enters the original universe.

"We have left the initial universe." The Nine Swords Venerable looked at a group of young people below, "Representing your safest practice in Chaos City, it is officially over! Next, you will be divided into four teams and sent to the Original Secret Realm, Taichu Secret Realm, The secret realm of heaven and earth, the secret realm of the end of the world.”

"In the future, it will not be as comfortable as in Chaos City. I wish you good luck. I hope that next time I see you, there will be 500 people alive." Lord Nine Swords finished.

Boom...

The spacecraft began to slow down, and after a moment, the hatch opened.

Wang Xiu and his group of people filed out of the spaceship. They could immediately see the undulating mountains in the distance, the spaceships in the distance, the figures flying across the sky, and the many stars in the sky.

We have arrived at the Virtual Universe Company’s universal headquarters.

……

The Universal Headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, this is an extremely vast continent suspended in the starry sky. Compared with it, the stars are as small as sesame seeds.

"Wang Xiu, Bo Lan, and Luo Feng from the Primitive Area, go to the Primitive Secret Realm. You will follow the Venerable, so stay here for now and wait for the Venerable."

"Members of the Taichu District, go over there and take the rock-gray spaceship that looks like a meteorite."

"Members of the Tian District, you take the second ship next to it, the purple one."

"Members of the Doomsday Zone, you will take the largest of the three spaceships, the jet-black one." The silver-robed woman standing at the front desk of the conference hall spoke loudly, pointing at the three spaceships that had landed outside the transparent glass, "Now, you will set off!"

Rumble…

All 816 young people stood up.

"The four secret realms are not in the same place. From now on, our brothers can only meet in the virtual universe."

"Let's go first."

"Goodbye."

The friends said goodbye to each other. Wang Xiu, Bolan and Luo Feng stayed in the conference hall, while a large group of people walked out through the exit. Once outside, they naturally divided into three teams and headed towards different spacecrafts.

moment.

Three F-class spaceships all took off one after another with a rumble.

Wang Xiu and the other two who were waiting in the conference room for the Nine Swords Master to set off together also watched through the glass as three spaceships took off outside.

“I don’t know how many of these 800 people will still be alive a hundred years from now.” Wang Xiu sighed inwardly.

The path of cultivation is extremely dangerous.

Even geniuses like Wang Xiu who have been carefully selected and are recognized to have the potential to break through to immortality or even become a Venerable can still fall along the way.

And according to past experience, this elimination rate is extremely high...

Among these one thousand people, it would be good if ten could survive and break through to become immortal.

　Second update, I did it, although it's a little late...
