Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 187 Are you going to give up?

"Sister Nianzhen, I'm back."

In the Kowloon Bay villa estate, Wang Xiu looked at his wife in front of him with a faint smile on his face.

After leaving the Nine Swords Master, Wang Xiu did not rush to leave the virtual universe, but turned back to the manor villa he bought on the Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Wang Xiu stayed in the Ice God's inheritance palace for nearly ten years, and had no contact with his family during this period. To be honest, Wang Xiu couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Ah Xiu?" Seeing Wang Xiu coming back, Lin Nianzhen was stunned at first, and then a hint of surprise quickly appeared in her eyes, and then she suddenly threw herself into Wang Xiu's arms.

Wang Xiu didn't say anything either. He just quietly held the beauty in his arms and smelled the faint fragrance on her body.

After a long time, Wang Xiu felt his arms loosen up, and Lin Nianzhen had already let go of the arms that were around him.

"Where have you been for the past ten years?"

Looking at Lin Nianzhen, who was still leaning on his arms but had a somewhat unfriendly expression, Wang Xiu suddenly felt a bad premonition coming over him.

"Uh...Sister Nianzhen, listen to me." Wang Xiu swallowed his saliva. He had no fear in the face of billions of fantasy beasts, but now, in front of a weak woman, he had an unprecedented urge to turn around and run.

Lin Nianzhen listened to Wang Xiu's explanation without saying anything, just staring at him silently.

Wang Xiu felt creepy when he saw this.

To be honest, in terms of strength alone, one hundred Lin Nianzhen would not be a match for Wang Xiu.

But for some reason, Wang Xiu now had the urge to turn around and run.

It was not until Wang Xiu briefly explained the whole story that Lin Nianzhen's expression gradually softened and became gentle again.

"Ah Xiu, promise me that if you encounter something like this again, you will send me a message in advance, okay?" Lin Nianzhen leaned gently on Wang Xiu's chest and whispered, "Suddenly, there was no news."

"Ten years... I almost thought you were dead."

"Thank you for your hardship over the years." Hearing his wife's slightly crying voice in his arms, Wang Xiu sighed softly, slowly increased the strength of his arms, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before I can go back to see you."

"Really?" Lin Nianzhen raised her head in surprise, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Go back to Earth?"

"Yes." Wang Xiu nodded vigorously, "Go back to Earth!"

……

Three days later, Wang Xiu bid farewell to his wife and daughter, and his consciousness once again exited the virtual universe network and returned to the inheritance hall.

In the hall at the end of the first stage of the inheritance ladder.

The clouds and mist that originally filled the hall now parted to the sides, clearing a path for Wang Xiu. At the end of the path was the second stage of the inheritance ladder.

Wang Xiu closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and found that the power of the ice crystal fruit had been integrated into every corner of Wang Xiu's body.

"It's time to proceed to the second stage of inheritance." Wang Xiu took a step forward, rushed to the end of the cloud and mist passage, and raised his leg to step onto the second stage of inheritance stairs.

boom!
Feeling the secret inheritance of the Ice God emerging in his mind, Wang Xiu grinned and then immersed himself in cultivation.

This time when he went to meet Venerable Nine Swords, in addition to knowing the victim whose inheritance quota was taken, Venerable Nine Swords also told Wang Xiu a lot of other things.

Among them, the information about the inheritance of the Ice God is of utmost importance.

According to the Nine Swords Master, under the greatest possible condition of accepting the inheritance, Wang Xiu could completely practice the Ice God's inheritance while comprehending the laws.

The Ice God General is extremely powerful, much stronger than the current Nine Swords Master.

The secret method passed down by the Ice God is also the most advanced secret method in the universe, and it can be said to point directly to the origin of the law.

Most of those who come to receive the inheritance of the Ice God are immortal gods, but even the Universe Lord has to pay a huge price to obtain the inheritance of the Ice God.

But even so, the number of places to inherit the Ice God's throne is still in short supply.

The reason for this is not only because after accepting the entire inheritance of the Ice God, one can become the one and only Ice God in the universe, possessing terrifying power, and thus ascend to heaven in one step.

It can even be said that the main purpose of most of the immortal gods who come to accept the inheritance of the Ice God is not to become the future Ice God.

Although becoming the Ice God General can lead to great success in one step, how many lucky people in history have been able to become the Ice God General?

The probability of achieving success overnight is not zero, it’s just ridiculously low.

However, the place to inherit the Ice God's throne is still in short supply, and countless powerful beings are vying for it.

Whether it is the inheritance of the Ice God or the inheritance of the Demonic Sound God, the reason why they are so popular is more because even if you only accept part of the inheritance, you can greatly improve your strength.

Moreover, because the Ice God will inherit the secret level up to the origin, it will also be of certain help in breaking through the last step and becoming the Venerable of the Universe!

This is the biggest reason why the Ice God's inheritance is so popular among the immortal gods.

When Wang Xiu first started practicing the secret method of inheriting the Ice, he noticed that his understanding of the laws was slowly improving. However, at that time, Wang Xiu's mind was all on the secret method of inheriting the Ice God, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, after devoting part of his attention to the comprehension of the laws, with the help of the secret techniques inherited from the Ice God, "Heart Mark" and other secret techniques, as well as the blessing of the ten times affinity of the power of Xue Luo, Wang Xiu's comprehension of the laws of the origin of gold and the origin of space suddenly made rapid progress.

Even Wang Xiu could feel that his understanding of the other eight original laws was slowly improving.

It’s just that the speed of improvement is not as fast as the Law of the Origin of Gold and the Law of the Origin of Space.

After all, the laws of the origin of gold and the laws of the origin of space are what he is best at, and what he has spent the most time and effort on.

……

Year after year, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

Counting from the day Wang Xiu entered the secret realm of Demon Mountain, he has been here for thirty years.

Wang Xiu's "feat" of staying in a desperate mission for thirty years has long been known.

Yuxiang Mountain, public area, in a luxurious restaurant.

Wang Xiu, Luo Feng, Rong Jun and a group of other geniuses who entered the Virtual Universe Company sat in the box and greeted each other.

"Brother Xiu, you haven't left Demon Mountain yet?" Luo Feng asked with a smile while sitting in his seat.

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded with a smile.

Wang Xiu had just completed the second stage of the Ice God's inheritance two days ago and was in a good mood. Luo Feng happened to invite him.

This was also the first proper gathering of the geniuses selected from their genius competition after entering the Virtual Universe Company. Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Bo Lan and other familiar people were all there.

Wang Xiu thought about it and didn't refuse.

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being Brother Xiu. That is a desperate level mission." Luo Feng exclaimed in amazement when he heard it.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiu shook his head. "If I remember correctly, you have been in the Xueluo world for nearly sixty years, right? How dare you say that to me?"

"Can a dangerous mission and a desperate mission be the same?" Luo Feng glared and said with a smile.

In the box, Bolan, Rong Jun and others nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

Among the cosmic-level geniuses in the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, there are some who have completed a mission for many years, but there are very few like Wang Xiu who stays on a mission for thirty years, especially in the world of desperate-level missions.

It would be fine if it was a dangerous mission. Although the mortality rate of a dangerous mission was not low, it was not too dangerous for a super genius like Wang Xiu who had come from the original secret realm.

Even for those geniuses in the Primordial Secret Realm, the End of the World, or the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth, as long as they are careful, it is not impossible for them to stay in a dangerous mission for thirty years.

But a desperate mission?
Forget it.

Any genius who has carried out a desperate-level mission knows that the mortality rate of a desperate-level mission seems to be not much different from that of a dangerous-level mission.

But the actual danger is absolutely different.

Take the Blood Luo World and the Demon Mountain for example.

Although the Xueluo world is also very dangerous, most of the dangers come from people!

In other words, as long as they don't have the bad luck to run into the world master or immortal gods, it is not difficult for most geniuses to stay in the Xueluo world for thirty years.

But the Demon Mountain is different. Whether it is the Ice Mountain or the Demon Sound Mountain, the environment alone contains many dangers.

If you are not careful, you will lose your life, not to mention the dangers brought by the fantasy beasts and the natives of the Nine Star Sea.

Stay in the Mountain for thirty years?
Bolan, Rong Jun and others secretly shook their heads and cursed him as a pervert.

"Haha." Wang Xiu smiled and shook his head when he saw this, not taking Luo Feng's words to heart.

What a joke! If I didn’t know your background, I would have been fooled by you.

Luo Feng didn't care when he saw this. He was already used to Wang Xiu's shocking actions.

Since he was on Earth, Luo Feng knew that Wang Xiu was definitely a monster.

After entering the universe, Wang Xiu has never lost, even when competing with geniuses from all over the universe.

In Luo Feng's heart, Wang Xiu was definitely the most evil genius he had ever seen. No matter what shocking things Wang Xiu did, Luo Feng would not be surprised.

In other words, I've seen it so many times that I've become numb to it.

"By the way, Brother Xiu." Luo Feng took a sip of wine, then asked with a smile, "What happened to you losing contact in the Demon Mountain for ten years?"

"That was ten years! And it was during a desperate mission. I thought something had happened to you!"

"My sister-in-law asked me, but I didn't dare to reply."

"Nothing." Wang Xiu shook his head and didn't intend to say more.

It's not because of confidentiality or anything, but because once this kind of thing is told and they know it, when they are performing the mission, they will inevitably subconsciously look for secrets hidden in the mission.

But no matter whether it is a dangerous level mission or a desperate level mission, it is true that there are secrets, but it is also accompanied by absolute danger!

It’s not that Wang Xiu underestimated the people in the box. Except for Luo Feng, none of them could be sure of their lives.

Especially desperate level missions!

Whoever touches me will die!

As for Luo Feng... he'll be fine once he calms down. There's no need for Wang Xiu to say anything more.

However, Wang Xiu thought about it and couldn't help but said, "Brothers, you may have discovered that the training tasks assigned to us by the Virtual Universe Company are not simple."

"But the benefits and risks are equal. No matter what, staying alive is the most important thing!"

After hearing this, the people in the box, including Luo Feng, all looked thoughtful.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He knew that the people in the box, whether Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Bolan and others, were all tough guys.

After so much time has passed, they must have noticed something to some extent.

The reason I said one more thing is that I want them to think more before making a decision.

As for the more, Wang Xiu was powerless to do anything.

"By the way, Wang Xiu, you should have completed the Demon Mountain mission by now, right?" Bolan suddenly asked in the box.

"......Yeah." Wang Xiu was stunned, and then nodded.

"Yes, have you also started to carry out desperate-level missions?" Wang Xiu asked with a smile.

The reason I ask this is because desperate missions are different from other types of missions. As long as you read the mission introduction, you have to choose one to execute.

And Borlan obviously knew the content of The Mountain's mission, otherwise he would not be so sure.

"Yeah." Borlan nodded without denying what he said, "The Lost Galaxy."

Wang Xiu suddenly understood after hearing this.

The Lost Galaxy is also a desperate-level mission, but it is located in a primitive secret realm.

It seems that in order to save time, Bolan focused on the training tasks in the original secret realm first.

"The next qualification battle is about to start in 20 years. By then, the mission quota will be cleared. Are you still not planning to leave the Magic Mountain?" Bolan asked doubtfully, "Or is your Magic Mountain mission your last mission?"

"The last one?" Wang Xiu shook his head. "No, including the Demon Mountain... I should have completed six training missions, right?"

"Then is it too late for you?" Rong Jun frowned. "You can only accept 100 training missions every 10 years. Don't you have to give up the others?"
