Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

In Wuchen Continent, in the manor where Wang Xiu resides.

"Has the appointment been made?" Gu Fenghou looked at his disciple and asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded, "This appointment was made quite quickly."

"Haha, that's because you are now the direct disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, so those people in the management naturally dare not delay you." Gu Fenghou chuckled.

"By the way, have you met the three giants of Qianwu branch?" Gu Fenghou asked.

"I have met them." Wang Xiu nodded. Recalling the excessive enthusiasm of the three giants of the Qianwu branch not long ago, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say helplessly, "It's just a little too enthusiastic."

"Haha!" Gu Fenghou couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "That's because you are in power now. It's no exaggeration to say that you are in charge of their life and death."

"With your current power, which combines surveillance, investigation and trial, it would be easy to replace them even if they have no problems at all, not to mention that they are not clean in the first place."

"You are the direct disciple of the Nine Swords Master and the Lord of Chaos City. They are not as powerful or well-connected as you, so naturally they want to please you."

"Alas." Wang Xiu shook his head. "Actually, they didn't have to do this. I didn't intend to do anything to them in the first place."

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. The fact that the three of them have been working in the Qianwu branch for so many years shows that they are capable."

"As long as they don't go too far, I'll turn a blind eye. After all, my first priority right now is to practice, not to find fault with them."

"You see it clearly." Gu Fenghou scolded with a smile, but a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

What he feared most was that Wang Xiu would rely on his status as the direct disciple of the Lord of Chaos City and not take the three directors of the Qianwu branch seriously.

Although Gu Fenghou knew very well that those three people would not have the courage to harm Wang Xiu, if Wang Xiu pushed them too much and caused conflicts, Wang Xiu would also feel very uncomfortable.

After all, those three people have been in the Qianwu branch for hundreds of millions of years, and everyone in the Qianwu branch is their people.

Although it would not completely sideline Wang Xiu, it would still hinder him in many ways.

By then, both sides will suffer losses and no one will benefit. It will also waste Wang Xiu's precious cultivation time on intrigue.

The way of power and intrigue is ultimately a minor path in this world.

Your own strength is eternal!

For example, Wang Xiu’s teacher, Ji Dao Wang, disdains the struggle for power and profit. He stays in Chaos City, determined to break through to the level of Universe Master.

But even though King Jidao did not hold any position in the Virtual Universe Company, no one dared to disrespect him. Even the so-called three giants of the Qianwu branch had to be respectful when they met King Jidao. This was the respect that came from one's own strength!
Wang Xiu was able to clearly see this point, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Gu Fenghou suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Although Wang Xiu was a good disciple and made him worry-free, he was too worried and it reduced some of the fun of being a teacher.

"I have definitely been living a good life for too long." Gu Fenghou quickly shook his head and put the thought behind him.

Thinking about those few troublesome disciples of his before, well... I prefer this little guy Wang Xiu.

"The appointment has come down. When are you planning to leave for Qianwu Universe Kingdom?" Gu Fenghou asked with a smile.

"Now!" Wang Xiu said firmly, "My disciple has been away from home for a long time."

"I remember that when I left my hometown, my daughter was less than one year old. Now, my daughter has become the ancestor of a big family." As he said this, Wang Xiu showed a bitter smile.

This is because of the existence of the virtual universe network, otherwise he might not even recognize his daughter when he sees her now.

"Family..." There was a trace of reminiscence and vicissitudes in Gu Fenghou's eyes. As an immortal marquis, his family members back then were not talented enough. Although he had tried his best to provide them with resources for cultivation, none of them became immortal.

In the end, they all fell over a long period of time.

His feelings for the descendants of his family have become very weak.

"Do your best to let them practice." Gu Fenghou came back to his senses, looked at his little disciple, and said seriously, "If they can't become immortal, they will leave you sooner or later. If you don't want them to leave you one day, do your best to provide them with resources and let them become immortal!"

"Yeah." Wang Xiu also saw the fleeting vicissitudes of life in his teacher's eyes. Obviously, the teacher's family members back then failed to become immortal. Wang Xiu didn't say anything but just nodded vigorously.

He began to plan secretly in his mind to buy resources for his wife Lin Nianzhen and daughter Wang Letian.

Practice, practice. If you don’t have your family by your side in the end, what’s the point even if you reach the highest level?

Wang Xiu did not expect them to be very strong, as long as they became immortal and had endless lifespan.

Fortunately, to become immortal in the Devouring Star World, one does not need to go through heavenly tribulations or anything like that, otherwise Wang Xiu would not have the confidence to allow his wife and daughter to have eternal life.

……

As an ancient secret realm of the universe, the original secret realm is extremely vast and vast.

On Wuchen Continent.

The palace complex is continuous and undulating, with no end in sight. The geniuses of the original secret realms of all generations have lived here.

The control center of the entire Wuchen Continent is a 66-story dark-black tower. The length and width of the lowest floor of the tower are over a thousand kilometers, and the height reaches tens of thousands of kilometers.

This tower controls the surrounding space and time.

In the hall on the 45th floor of the tower, there are densely packed precision instruments and screens. Around these precision instruments there are many people in silver clothes and a very small number of people in black uniforms.

The huge screens were suspended above the hall, and suddenly one of them lit up.

"I want to take a spaceship to leave the original secret realm and head to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom." A voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall.

This immediately made a group of people in black in the hall look up, and saw a figure appear on the huge screen. It was a black-haired young man wearing a layer of black armor.

"It's His Highness Wang Xiu!"

"Didn't His Royal Highness Wang Xiu just give the order? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It takes more than a year to get from the original secret realm to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. It's not surprising that His Highness Wang Xiu is leaving now."

The group of men in black whispered among themselves.

A man in black also walked to the control console, pressed a button, and said respectfully: "Your Highness Wang Xiu, your request has been conveyed to the main control system, and the authority will be issued soon."

……

On the Wuchen Continent, the Tianjian spacecraft was hovering above Wang Xiu’s palace complex.

Spaceship interior.

"drop!"

"Master, we have been granted permission and can leave now." A cute girl's head appeared on the small screen of the console in the control room, and the girl said in a crisp voice.

"Let's go!" Wang Xiu ordered.

"Yes!"

The Tianjian spacecraft started up immediately, and soon its speed soared rapidly, turning into a phantom and flying quickly into the void.

When they flew to the edge of this "Wuchen Spacetime"... ripples suddenly appeared in the universe, and the Tianjian spacecraft directly broke through these space ripples.

……

In the dark universe, the Sky Sword spacecraft is traveling at fifty times the speed of light.

Inside the spaceship.

"Your Highness, at the current speed, we will arrive at Qiongyu Star, one of the nine administrative stars of Qianwu Universe, in about a year and a half." Yu Fang, who was dressed in a white robe, smiled and said, "Your Highness can go to practice or rest. I will wake you up after we arrive at Qiongyu Star."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Wang Xiu nodded, and without being polite to Yu Fang, he went straight to the training room in the spaceship and sat cross-legged.

However, Wang Xiu did not practice, but directly entered the virtual universe network.

When he was in Chaos City before, the Lord of Chaos City had promised him that the number of times he had comprehended the Nine-Universe Chaos Monument by crossing the Nine-Universe Sky Bridge could be counted on the Universe Chaos Monument.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City, Wang Xiu has never found an opportunity to cross the Jiuyutong Bridge.

It takes more than a year to travel from the original secret realm to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and it is time to cross the sky bridge.

……

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

Baffin, the defender of the beautiful island, has been guarding here silently for countless years. Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the island. It was a young man with short black hair.

"Ah! Wang Xiu." The defender Bafen smiled and walked over with a smile in his fiery red robe.

"Lord Defender has changed his robes." Wang Xiu smiled.

"Haha! We can't just keep changing!" The defender Bafen smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't come here since you passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge! In the blink of an eye... nearly a hundred years have passed."

"Before you didn't break into Tongtian Bridge, I knew you were going to do something big. I thought you were going to break into Tongtian Bridge to make a splash, but I didn't expect you to break into the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain first."

The Guardian Bafen shook his head and said, "Which level are you going to break through this time when you come to Tongtian Mountain?"

"The twelfth floor? Or the thirteenth floor?"

Guardian Bafen was not making this up. Generally, geniuses who had passed through the Universe-level Original Tongtian Mountain would only have a 12th-level understanding of the laws. He was overestimating Wang Xiu by saying that he had reached the 13th level. "Haha, you'll see when you see it," Wang Xiu said with a smile.

"Oh?" Guardian Baffin's eyes lit up. Is this a surprise?
Wang Xiu didn't explain. After a smile, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Jiuyutong Bridge.

……

When Wang Xiu started to break into the sky bridge, the guardian Baffin began to send mass emails.

"Tsk tsk, he is indeed a genius who is praised as one that appears once in a million epochs. He has been accepted as a disciple by the Lord of Chaos City, and there are so many bigwigs paying attention to him." The Guardian Bafen muttered, "They all ordered me to notify them once Wang Xiu breaks into the Tongtian Bridge."

In an instant, dozens of emails were sent out.

……

King Longyu stretched out his crystal-clear finger and lightly tapped the void to produce a screen on which an email appeared.

"Wang Xiu broke through the Tongtian Bridge?" A strange smile appeared on the beautiful face of King Longyu, and he whispered, "When Wang Xiu broke through the original Tongtian Mountain before, my authority was too low to see the specific process. This time Wang Xiu broke through the Tongtian Bridge, I want to take a closer look at what level Wang Xiu's understanding of the laws has reached."

King Longyu smiled and immediately rushed to the Tongtian Bridge plane.

……

King Jidao, Marquis Gufeng, King Longyu, King Tienan... Marquis Beicang, a total of 86 immortal gods, more than half of them are king-level, and the rest are marquis-level. These 86 people arrived at the Tongtian Bridge plane space within ten seconds of each other.

On the island in the Tongtian Bridge plane, a group of powerful immortal gods including King Jidao gathered.

"Haha! So many people." King Jidao and Gu Fenghou looked around with a smile.

“King Ji Dao, Marquis Gu Feng, who made you teach such outstanding disciples?” A giant man with golden eyes and a beard like golden needles on his face laughed, “Before, he was accepted as a registered disciple by the Lord of Chaos City, and now he is accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of Chaos City.”

"Everyone is very curious about him. Even the Venerable ordered me to keep an eye on him."

“Although he had previously crossed the Universe-level Original Tongtian Mountain, no one had seen the battle video of him crossing the Tongtian Mountain.”

"This is the first time he has crossed the Tongtian Bridge after being accepted as a personal disciple by the Lord of Chaos City. I dare not slack off. As soon as I knew that Wang Xiu was going to cross the Tongtian Bridge, I immediately came to watch the live broadcast."

"Yes! We are all following His Majesty's orders." The kings and some princes all smiled.

The atmosphere is quite good.

King Longyu looked at the immortals and smiled, "Everyone, tell me, which level can Wang Xiu break through this time?"

"Let's go to the twelfth level! After all, he has already passed the Universe-level Original Tongtian Mountain."

"Based on Wang Xiu's personality, he must be at least on the thirteenth level."

"In my opinion, it is probably the twelfth floor."

"We have reached the top of the twelfth floor! There is a level every three floors, so it is unlikely that we will reach the thirteenth floor."

"I think it's the thirteenth floor."

"Maybe it's the thirteenth floor. Don't let your eyes pop out of your head when you get there."

"King of Extreme Swords, tell me what you have to say."

A large group of kings and marquises all represent the sages of the universe. Even if those marquises may have poor strength, to be able to be granted such a thing, they are obviously confidants, so everyone talked happily.

King Ji Dao smiled and looked at everyone around him: "Everyone just watch. Oh! The battle has begun!"

Then all 86 immortal gods turned to look at the screen.

On the screen, Wang Xiu had just flown to the end of the ninth floor of the Tongtian Bridge. After exchanging some words with his blue-clothed opponent who had transformed from a meteorite, he started to engage in battle.

The battle lasted for a moment and then ended.

Pass the ninth floor!
"Is he practicing on the gatekeeper of the Tongtian Bridge?" An immortal god couldn't help but smile when seeing this.

"Yes!" The other immortal gods also nodded.

It’s not that their eyesight is so good, but Wang Xiu had passed through the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain before, and at least could pass through the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge. How could it be so difficult for him to face an opponent on the ninth level.

It was obvious that Wang Xiu was letting the opponent win and wanted to use him as a training ground.

……

Compared with the ninth-level opponent, the strength of the tenth-level opponent has made a huge leap. Wang Xiu fought with his opponent for dozens of rounds and carefully felt the opponent's attack methods... before he defeated his opponent.

The tenth floor, passed!

……

The opponent on the eleventh level is the man in yellow.

Wang Xiu also did not use the secret method of the Ice God. He simply relied on his understanding of the laws to fight with his opponent for dozens of rounds, and then he suddenly exerted his strength to kill his opponent.

Level 11, passed!

……

The twelfth floor.

This time, facing the man in yellow, Wang Xiu could no longer defeat him with his comprehension of the law alone. After a short struggle, Wang Xiu used the secret method of the Ice God General, and under the amplitude of the power, the power of his swordsmanship increased greatly, and he easily defeated the opponent.

Level 12, passed!

……

Thirteenth floor.

Just like before, Wang Xiu first struggled with the opponent, and then exerted a sudden force to kill him.

Thirteenth floor, passed!

……

On the island of Tongtianqiao plane.

The large group of immortal gods who gathered were silent, staring at the screen in shock, their eyes full of horror and disbelief.

As for the level below the twelfth floor, these immortal gods had no doubt at all whether Wang Xiu could get through.

But starting from the thirteenth floor, things are not so simple.

Especially the thirteenth floor, which seems to be only one level away from the twelfth floor.

There is a level every three floors of the Sky Bridge. If Wang Xiu can pass the thirteenth floor, it means that he is not far from the fifteenth floor.

Even if you don’t pass it now, you can pass the fifteenth level by spending a little more time later!

You know, the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge is already the level of understanding the laws of a marquis!

is it possible?
In just a hundred years, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds from the eighth level that allowed him to break through the Tongtian Bridge to the thirteenth level!
Moreover, all the immortal gods could see that Wang Xiu was obviously letting his opponent win. In every battle, he would fight for dozens of rounds before killing his opponent. Apparently, even the opponent on the thirteenth level did not put too much pressure on Wang Xiu.

"sky."

"how is this possible?"

"How can he improve so fast? Not to mention that he is at the Domain Lord level, even if he is at the Realm Lord level, it is impossible for him to improve so much continuously in just a hundred years."

"Wait, didn't he break through to the Domain Lord level recently? He has been at the Universe level for the past hundred years!"

"horrible!"

"terrible."

All these kings and dukes were shocked. Wang Xiu's improvement speed had surpassed the category of "unparalleled genius" and even surpassed the first definition of "evil spirit". It should be said that he was... a monster!

A monster with a peerless genius that exceeds people's imagination and transcends normal development rules!

Just like Kedi back then... Universe level, domain lord level, world lord level, all successfully broke into the original Tongtian Mountain.

Moreover, when he is at the peak of the Realm Lord level, he is comparable to the Immortal King, and can kill those at the Marquis level!
This is a monster-like existence!
And now, Wang Xiu's strength and terrifying improvement speed are even better than Coty's of the same period!

"Could it be possible that he could pass through the fourteenth floor of Tongtian Bridge?"

"Is it possible that understanding the laws is as easy as drinking water for him? How is that possible? There must be a limit!"

"Among the 10 old men in the original secret realm of the domain master level of my virtual universe company, the strongest one has only passed the 11th level and has practiced for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that Luo Feng has practiced for hundreds of years and has caught up with other peerless geniuses who have practiced for tens of thousands of years? This is impossible!"

“Haha, you all forgot the most crucial thing… In terms of comprehension of the laws alone, the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge is already comparable to some immortals. Wang Xiu has already passed the thirteenth level… According to the calculation that there is a checkpoint every three levels of Tongtian Bridge, even if he can’t pass the fourteenth and fifteenth levels now, that day is not far away…”

These immortal gods held their breath completely.

The island in the Tongtianqiao plane was completely silent. No one spoke, and everyone was staring at the screen.
