Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 186 Nine Swords Master: Don't worry, I'll protect you
A few months later, in the inheritance hall.

On the 2756th step, Wang Xiu knelt on one knee, veins bulging on his forehead. He could feel that his body had reached its limit.

"It's almost there." Looking at the palace that was almost within reach, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes, but he was quickly relieved.

He originally thought that he could complete the first stage of inheritance with his strong body, but he didn't expect that he was still a little short of it.

"After all, it lacks the transformation from Realm Master to Immortal. Never mind. I won't force it." Wang Xiu smiled in his heart, "System, add some points to strengthen the genetic level."

"Good host."

The moment the system's voice fell, Wang Xiu felt that every cell in his body began to transform.

It takes one thousand experience points to double the genetic level.

After increasing his physical strength to be comparable to G9 grade metal, Wang Xiu still had 77.1 experience points left.

Wang Xiu has plenty of experience points!

So this time, Wang Xiu directly increased the genetic level from 5 times to 15 times in one go!
Soon, Wang Xiu's physical body was strengthened, and the experience value balance on the system panel changed from 77.1 to 76.1.

"Sure enough, improving the genetic level is indeed useful." Wang Xiu felt the changes in his body, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, "The previous feeling of exhaustion is completely gone, haha."

"Continue to accept the inheritance, the rewards for the first stage, here I come, haha."

On the ladder of inheritance, Wang Xiu took another step forward, and new secret methods immediately flooded into his mind.

Before, Wang Xiu was like a bucket full of water. The water had reached the limit and if he poured more water into it, it would overflow.

After spending 15 experience points and raising the genetic level to times, it was like making Wang Xiu's bucket higher and thicker.

The water is still the same water, but the bucket has become bigger, so the water level naturally drops and you can continue to pour water into it.

Wang Xiu walked up the next step of inheritance very easily.

Without physical troubles, Wang Xiu only needs to complete the practice of the secret method in his mind to enter the next level of inheritance.

……

Another few months passed.

At this moment, Wang Xiu has reached the 3333rd step, which is the last step of the first stage.

In front of Wang Xiu was a palace about a kilometer high, with its outer walls covered with various exquisite carvings and two huge golden doors.

The door is open.

"The palace."

Wang Xiu looked at the golden gate that was filled with astonishing pressure. In front of this golden gate that was hundreds of meters high, Wang Xiu felt as small as an ant.

"We're finally here." Wang Xiu didn't hesitate too much and flew directly into the hall.

The hall was filled with mist, and above the mist was a stone tablet floating.

The mysterious words appeared on the stone tablet automatically one by one, and after a moment, they all appeared. The content of the mysterious words was - "You are the 61201st inheritor to come here. You are eligible to obtain the title of 'Preliminary' and receive the Preliminary Rewards."

Luo Feng’s experience is different from that in the original story line.

Wang Xiu did not take any shortcuts, he relied entirely on the system to add points...cross it out.

Wang Xiu had come here step by step through the inheritance ladder entirely through his own efforts.

At least that's what Wang Xiu thought, and the first generation of Ice God General obviously thought so too.

So after Wang Xiu finished reading the mysterious words on the stone tablet, the clouds in the hall automatically parted, and two suspended air currents slowly came in front of Wang Xiu.

A ball of golden air.

A cloud of gray air.

Wang Xiu looked at the two air currents in front of him, secretly expecting something.

"Is this the so-called treasure reward?"

boom!
boom!
The gray airflow exploded, revealing a set of gray armor suspended inside. The gray armor was about ten meters high, with pieces of gray scales on its surface. Each scale had extremely complex naturally formed patterns.

The countless complex patterns on the chest of the armor actually formed the appearance of a one-horned monster.

The golden airflow exploded, revealing a crystal clear ice-blue fruit.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the blueberries that Wang Xiu had eaten on Earth, but it is larger, about the same size as an apple, and the color is lighter than blueberries.

It was translucent and you could faintly see through the flesh inside. There was also an icy blue air current surrounding it.

It’s a shame to say that even though the two treasures were placed in front of Wang Xiu, he had no idea what they were.

But I could vaguely sense that these two treasures seemed to be very extraordinary.

At this time, words appeared again on the stone tablet suspended in the clouds:

"The first reward for the preliminary candidates is the Taixu Battle Armor, which is a protective armor for warriors. With it, the chances of survival in the dangerous universe are higher. The second is the Ice Crystal Fruit, a magical fruit that only grows once every three thousand eras. It has the miraculous effect of changing the body, making it more suitable for receiving inheritance! Both the first and second stages have treasures that can change the body. However, up to now, no life has been able to receive the complete inheritance."

Wang Xiu suddenly realized, and with a wave of his hand he put the Taixu battle armor in front of him into the space ring, and then took the ice crystal fruit in his hand and put it directly into his mouth without any hesitation.

Although the system is there, this ice crystal fruit was originally prepared for myself, it would be a waste not to eat it.

When Wang Xiu bit through the skin of the ice crystal fruit, the flesh inside immediately flowed into Wang Xiu's mouth like water, and even the skin turned into liquid and flowed into Wang Xiu's body.

Wang Xiu only felt a coolness rushing into his body, and then quickly spread out, flowing into his limbs and bones, transforming every cell in his body.

"So comfortable." Wang Xiu closed his eyes, feeling this refreshing feeling that was different from the system's improvement of his genetic level.

The transformation of the body by the ice crystal fruit is still ongoing, and Wang Xiu estimates that it will take at least two days to be complete.

Moreover, on the inheritance ladder, he had already reached the end of the first stage, but there was no sign of the second stage.

Wang Xiu guessed that the so-called second stage inheritance would only appear again after he had completely digested the effect of the ice crystal fruit.

"I have been here to receive the inheritance for nearly ten years. I should have completed the survival mission in the Demon Mountain long ago. I haven't gotten out yet... Don't you think I'm dead?" I didn't know until I thought about it.

When Wang Xiu accepted the inheritance of the Ice God before, he directly closed the virtual universe network connection in order to concentrate and not be disturbed.

There has been no news for ten years, and he is still in a desperate mission...

According to the practice of the Virtual Universe Company, it is really possible to be declared "dead".

"No, I have to go check out what's going on." Wang Xiu immediately opened the virtual universe network connection, "Connect to the virtual universe!"

……

A trace of consciousness was separated to connect to the virtual universe network and come to the virtual universe Yuxiang Mountain.

In the primitive area, inside Wang Xiu’s manor.

"Shh!"

Wang Xiu appeared out of nowhere.

The guards and servants were all shocked when they saw Wang Xiu, but then they all came to their senses and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness."

"Little Master, you are finally back. I will inform our Grandmaster right away." The guard leader, Immortal Yufang, who was lying on a chair in the distance with his eyes narrowed and holding a wine glass, immediately stood up with a look of surprise on his face. "Our Grandmaster specifically told me to inform him as soon as I see you."

"Uncle Junior Master, please wait a moment."

"Hey, wait a minute..." Before Wang Xiu could finish his sentence, he saw Yufang's figure had disappeared from the spot.

Wang Xiu's face suddenly became depressed: "Why don't you tell me what's going on first." Wang Xiu didn't have to wait long. Soon, Yu Fang's figure appeared again, but this time there was another figure beside him, and it was Gu Fenghou.

"Teacher." Seeing Gu Fenghou appear, Wang Xiu first bowed respectfully.

"Well, are you okay?" Gu Fenghou nodded, and then asked lightly.

Wang Xiu felt warm at heart when he heard this, and then he grinned and said, "Teacher, I'm fine."

"Well, let's go, let's talk slowly inside." Gu Fenghou nodded, then turned and walked towards Wang Xiu's study.

Wang Xiu followed Gu Fenghou, walking slowly, feeling extremely warm in his heart.

Only if you truly treat your disciples as your family members and truly care about yourself, will you ask yourself if you are doing well first.

……

In the study room.

Wang Xiu and Gu Fenghou sat on their chairs. Gu Fenghou picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then asked with a smile: "Where have you been for the past ten years?"

"When you were on the mission in the Xueluo world before, although you stayed there for a long time, I was still able to contact you through the virtual universe network."

"But this time, you disappeared for nearly ten years."

"The top management of the Virtual Universe Company even suspected that you had died in the Demon Mountain mission. Later, it was your teacher, the Reverend Nine Swords, who went to ask your other teacher, the Lord of Chaos, to confirm that you were still alive."

"But you didn't say what you were doing, and you are still out of contact."

"Teacher Nine Swords Master, Teacher Chaos City Lord?" Wang Xiu was stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Wang Xiu had not expected that his "disappearance" had actually alarmed the Chaos City Lord, who actually took personal action to confirm his safety.

It has to be said that this made Wang Xiu feel very happy.

Although since he came to this world and entered the universe, what he has seen is basically the dark side of the human race.

The slave trade, planet trade... and so on, all exude the bloody atmosphere of the survival of the fittest.

As a young man of the new era who grew up in a peaceful world that values ​​peace and equality, Wang Xiu doesn't like the human race in this world very much.

But no matter what Gu Fenghou, the Nine Swords Master, or the Lord of Chaos City did before, they all made Wang Xiu feel a real sense of belonging to the human race for the first time.

If before Wang Xiu just held the idea of ​​enjoying the shade under a big tree.

So now, Wang Xiu really wants to do something for the human race.

After all... at least, under the current rules of the human race, including on Earth, we are actually living a pretty good life, or even very good one.

Admittedly, there is an element of luck involved.

If there were no Wang Xiu and Luo Feng, relying solely on other people on Earth, the Earth would most likely become a slave planet.

If Wang Xiu did not have his current talent, Gu Fenghou, Nine Swords Master and the Lord of Chaos City would not be so kind to him.

But there is no if in everything, at least for Wang Xiu, the result is good.

The human race may not be so perfect, there may be dark places, and the super beings within the human race may have shortcomings of one kind or another.

But at least their existence supports the backbone of the human race, and at least they have never retreated when facing foreign enemies.

Let the human race stand tall in the primitive universe as one of the six peak races.

As for the darkness within the human race... since the super strong ones within the human race don't care now, just do it yourself, and beat whoever doesn't obey until he obeys.

……

In the study on the third floor.

After hearing Wang Xiu explain that he had been receiving the inheritance of a super being over the years, Gu Fenghou suddenly opened his mouth wide in surprise.

“Wang Xiu, your teacher, the Lord of Chaos City, must know about this matter. The Venerable Nine Swords may also know about it.” Gu Fenghou, who had reacted, said very seriously, “Except for me and your two teachers, the Lord of Chaos City and the Venerable Nine Swords, you must not let anyone else know about this matter.”

"At least... don't let others know until you have the strength to be crowned king."

"Understand?"

I have to say that Gu Fenghou is very experienced and his guesses are very accurate.

Although Gu Fenghou had not yet been crowned king, he was not aware of the existence of the Ice God's inheritance.

But he knew that there were secrets in these training missions, and the super existence inheritance that Wang Xiu mentioned was undoubtedly the big secret hidden in the Demon Mountain mission.

And the secret that Gu Fenghou, an immortal marquis, is not qualified to know is definitely of great importance.

The inheritance left by this so-called super existence is likely to be obtained only by those who have been crowned as immortal kings.

According to Wang Xiu, there are 32 palaces in total, which means that this so-called inheritance has a quota limit!
Wang Xiu got a quota out of thin air, which meant that a king lost his quota.

Wang Xiu has not yet become immortal, but he has directly offended an immortal king. This is an extremely terrible thing.

Even though Wang Xiu’s teacher is the Lord of Chaos City!
It is impossible for Wang Xiu to stay in the original secret realm for his entire life. After he becomes the domain lord, he will be sent out to another place. After he becomes the realm lord, he will have to undergo a life and death trial.

Not to mention anything else, just the cosmic level has to carry out various training tasks.

For an immortal king, if he really wants to target a genius who has not yet grown up, it is a piece of cake. He doesn't even have to do it himself.

"I know, teacher." Wang Xiu nodded with a smile.

He is not stupid. How could he expose such a thing so easily?

Besides, it’s just a title of immortal king…

……

After a brief chat with Gu Fenghou, Wang Xiu was summoned by the Nine Swords Master.

Same process and same inquiries as Gu Fenghou.

But the Nine Swords Master looked much more relaxed.

"Haha, as expected. No wonder Cang Jian has been so gloomy these days." The Nine Swords Master looked at Wang Xiu in front of him, his face full of gloating, "As expected, you have taken away his disciple's place in the Frost God General inheritance, haha."

"When the Lord of Chaos said you were fine, I suspected you did it."

"The inheritance of the Ice God?" Wang Xiu pretended to be confused.

"Yes, the Ice God's inheritance." The Nine Swords Master said with a smile, "You have taken a great advantage."

"That Cang Jian guy spent a lot of resources and used a lot of favors to help his disciple get a place in the Ice God inheritance."

“But you don’t need to worry.” The Nine Swords Master looked at the worry on Wang Xiu’s face and waved his hand with a smile, “Just practice with confidence.”

"You are able to obtain the inheritance of the Frost God General in the Demon Mountain. No one can find fault with it."

"Just keep a low profile for a while. After all, they spent money. Now they have to wait another 100 million years for no reason. They must be very angry."

“Although you only took up the position of King Mo Jian, in fact, this position was fought for by his teacher, Venerable Cang Jian.” Venerable Jiu Jian explained, “Be low-key for now. When you can no longer hide it, I guess you will have grown up. By then, you won’t be afraid of King Mo Jian looking for trouble with you.”

"As for Venerable Hidden Sword... He is a Venerable, so he wouldn't be so shameless as to attack a junior like you. Besides, I and the Lord of Chaos are here, so don't worry."

"Okay, teacher." Wang Xiu said obediently.
