The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

When Hongmeng opened his eyes, he saw the Venerable Qianwu standing not far away, with his back to him, exuding the aura of an infinite master.

At this moment, the past self, Hongmeng, suddenly remembered.

Regardless of how readers from the previous life might have joked about him, this person is a Venerable One, a powerful being in this universe.

A rare master among humankind, with few rivals.

He may not be considered particularly powerful among the Venerables, but undeniably, he is one of the very few people standing at the very top of this world.

He's only at the cosmic level now, what right does he have to look down on others?
In his past life, he could sit in front of the computer, full of vigor and pontificating.

But now, the opponent is a level higher than the Immortal level, at least a Celestial Immortal.

What else does he have that allows him to look down upon the Venerable Qianwu?

"Venerable One, my breakthrough is complete," the past incarnation Hongmeng said respectfully.

The Venerable Qianwu was taken aback: "You seem to have lost some of your spirit. You used to be quite unruly."

Although upon their first meeting, Hongmeng was very respectful during their conversation.

But his expression revealed the pride that all geniuses possess.

What about the Venerable One?

I will achieve it sooner or later.

But now, although HarmonyOS is still proud, it has begun to show him the respect it deserves.

Did you glimpse his power during your breakthrough?

Impossible. He concealed his strength, and it's highly unlikely that Hongmeng could sense it.

Regardless, Venerable Qianwu did not continue the topic, but turned around and said, "Alright, the Lord of Chaos City has been waiting for a long time. Come with me."

After taking a few steps, Venerable Qianwu seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and instructed Hongmeng: "However, today we are meeting the main battle avatar, one of the three avatars of the Chaos City Lord. He may have a bad temper, so be respectful, kid."

The past self, Hongmeng, smiled bitterly. Was this a special reminder from Venerable Qianwu, who remembered that he was now being more respectful?
I probably felt I wasn't being respectful enough, so I didn't remind them.

The Lord of Chaos City is powerful, and this main combat avatar may have a bit of a temper.

But it doesn't amount to destroying humanity.

Watching the departing figure of the Venerable Qianwu, the past incarnation Hongmeng smiled bitterly.

Indeed, every sip and every bite is preordained.

Your attitude will naturally determine the consequences.

no way.

It's because he never changed his attitude.

This Venerable Qianwu is one of the highest-ranking figures.

He had previously vaguely felt that the other person was nothing special.

Looking back now, my previous thoughts were indeed somewhat laughable.

Although the two did not speak to each other along the way, their relationship had improved considerably.

The Venerable Qianwu also gave him his virtual universe number, explaining that if he needed any help or had any questions, he could ask him.

This is equivalent to having an advisor or teacher at the Venerable level.

Although I haven't formally become your apprentice, I can ask you any questions you may have.

HarmonyOS certainly wouldn't bother the other party casually, but this relationship has been established nonetheless.

The past incarnation of Hongmeng stirred in his mind and suddenly said, "Perhaps, Your Majesty, we are not without the opportunity to cooperate?"

The Venerable Qianwu was taken aback, then found it somewhat laughable.

A tiny cosmic entity, and you want to cooperate with him?
But the next second, Hongmeng's voice came: "While I was undergoing trials over there..."

They had just arrived at the gate, where the guards were all immortals.

They all bowed to the Venerable Qianwu.

The Venerable Qianwu said, "The Lord of Chaos City has summoned me. I will take him in."

Just then, Venerable Guiyi arrived, and the guards said no more. The two followed Venerable Guiyi inside.

"This is Venerable Guiyi," Venerable Qianwu introduced.

"Venerable One." The past incarnation Hongmeng hurriedly paid his respects.

This is a very powerful Venerable One, and also the disciple of the Chaos City Lord. He will go even further in the future.

When facing a strong person, one should naturally have a sense of awe.

Venerable Guiyi nodded, without saying anything more.

In the past, Hongmeng didn't say much. How could a small universe-level being like you casually chat with such great figures and venerable ones in the immortal realm?

However, he did not shrink back and behaved in a way that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Venerable Guiyi nodded secretly, though he was unaware of the specifics.

But since Master Chaos City Lord summoned him, it means this kid is somewhat special.

In that case, maintaining a mild attitude is sufficient.

If Hongmeng knew what Venerable Guiyi was thinking, he would definitely shout, "Is this what you call gentle?"

Well, you should be secretly happy that the Venerable One nodded to you.

If the immortals knew about this, they would definitely treat it differently and wouldn't dare to offend it easily.

Hongmeng continued the unfinished topic, saying, "I received the inheritance over there, and the final test was to forge a powerful treasure. I was fortunate enough to succeed."

Ok?
Both Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Qianwu stopped and looked over seriously.

That look in his eyes practically screamed, "Are you serious?"

You just broke through to the cosmic level; the aura of that breakthrough hasn't even subsided yet.

You're telling me you forged a powerful treasure before?
You don't know what a precious treasure is, do you?

Are you talking about divine weapons?

Although divine weapons are rare, many appear at every auction.

To put it bluntly, this stuff isn't fresh.

But it's different for precious treasures.

Within the human race, or rather, throughout the entire universe, those capable of crafting powerful artifacts are rare talents.

If there are talented individuals within the human race capable of crafting powerful artifacts, then even if not every Venerable One possesses several such artifacts, each one would certainly have no shortage of them.

The immortals no longer need to think about it; they can simply gather a few materials and go to the treasure-refining master for help in refining treasures.

Ok?
The two Venerable Ones kept their eyes fixed on him, and this time, Hongmeng finally understood what it meant to be "killed by being stared at."

The Venerable One's gaze was extremely heavy.

It's like having power.

This power is even stronger than the domain lord's attack.

It felt like everything around us had frozen in place; it was unbearable.

"Alright, aren't you going to bring him over?"

A voice, dignified yet seemingly gentle, rang out.

Venerable Guiyi and Venerable Qianwu then realized what was happening and quickly withdrew their gazes.

"Excuse me."

"We were too impatient."

The weight of a Venerable One is not even comparable to that of a Master of Refining Treasures.

A genius capable of crafting powerful artifacts is more than just a genius.

That's still a master.

This is a rare talent among humankind.

Along the way, Venerable Guiyi originally wanted to remind Hongmeng to be more respectful and careful with his words.

But considering what Hongmeng said, if it were true, then the Lord of Chaos City would undoubtedly treat Hongmeng well.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the human race seems to have no shortage of treasures.

However, Venerable Qianwu only possesses one or two precious treasures, and he is still lacking other valuable treasures.

Immortals are even rarer.

After a short while, we entered a grand hall.

Among them was a powerful being, three meters tall, wearing ancient and complex dark red battle armor, with a scaly tail protruding from his battle skirt, and a fierce face covered with secret patterns beneath a pair of fiery red horns, who was looking at Hongmeng with a gentle expression.

This man's face was extremely terrifying, even though he tried his best to appear gentle.

However, his appearance still evokes concern.

Full of pressure.

"Master."

"chaos."

"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City."

The three different titles represent three different roles and three different identities.

But each of them spoke with utmost respect and emotion when facing the Lord of Chaos City.

As a disciple of the Primordial Ancestor, the second strongest human, the number one leader of the Virtual Universe Company, the creator of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, and one of the Lords of the Hongmeng Palace, each of his identities commands respect and fear.

They are incredibly powerful and have made enormous contributions to the human race.

Protecting the human race for countless years is one of the fundamental reasons why the human race has been able to live in peace until now.

Qin Hao has been able to stay safely in the background and steadily rise to his current position.

Furthermore, he received the inheritance of a venerable master and a hegemon.

And it was not coveted by others.

At least not yet.

This one thing alone is enough for Qin Hao to show him respect.

"Ah."

The Lord of Chaos City thought for a moment and said to Venerable Guiyi, "You go ahead and get busy."

Venerable Guiyi knew that the subsequent arrangements for Hongmeng would definitely be decided by his teacher.

He doesn't need to know that much.

All he knows is that Hongmeng will become one of the things he needs to protect in the future, and that's enough.

Venerable Guiyi took his leave, and Venerable Qianwu also took his leave at the opportune moment: "Then, I'll leave the person to you, Chaos. I'll be leaving now."

The Venerable Qianwu took one last look at Hongmeng, thinking, "This talent is probably going to be lost."

It was clear from the time HarmonyOS proposed that they wanted to cooperate with him.

The nature of the collaboration is self-evident.

The one Hongmeng mentioned was someone who had refined powerful treasures.

Although I don't know the details, it doesn't seem like a lie.

If I were to help with the collaboration, it would likely involve helping with sales and order taking.

Does this mean I can act as a middleman?
Wouldn't it be possible to pay off the treasure points and supreme treasure points that I was previously lacking?

Otherwise, it's unclear how long it would take to repay the debt.

Afraid of dying at the end of the universe?
Although it was a pity, Venerable Qianwu turned his body and left directly.

The Lord of Chaos City nodded; what followed was indeed confidential.

"You said you forged a powerful treasure?" A pair of huge eyes stared at him, and Hongmeng was afraid that he might be eaten alive.
“Yes.” Hongmeng nodded with a smile.

He knew that the Chaos City Lord seemed fierce, but that was because he was the main combat avatar of the enemy.

But fundamentally, it is very friendly to the human race.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken up the banner of the human race.

Before the founder of the Giant Axe rose to prominence, the Lord of Chaos City had already taken up the mantle.

Later, the founder of the Giant Axe rose to prominence, but the importance of the Chaos City Lord was never diminished.

The Lord of Chaos City is extremely powerful. It is said that he can even kill a true god by using the origin of the primordial universe.

Therefore, this place was not spied on by foreign tribes, and no spies came.

Otherwise, how could the human race have enjoyed this advantage for so long, producing countless geniuses and powerful individuals every year?

Of course, what they don't know is that.

This primordial universe is actually the original true god universe.

Hongmeng remained silent, and a large star map appeared behind him, rising directly into the sky.

Ok?
The Lord of Chaos was taken aback, then immediately raised his power to confine the strange phenomenon within his palace.

"The power of the stars? This treasure map is indeed powerful, it has the aura of a great treasure, and it can even use the power of the stars to set up formations? With this power, the user can continuously restore their divine power, and can also use the power within to attack enemies. Indeed, this is a great treasure."

The Chaos City Lord's eyes burned with fervor: "Judging from the aura of this treasure, you are indeed the one who crafted it. Good, I didn't expect that you, at only the Stellar level, have already advanced to the level of a treasure crafting master? Excellent."

Treasures are indeed important. If there is a continuous supply of treasures, the strength of the human race will undoubtedly increase significantly.

But for the Venerable One, the most precious treasure is of even greater importance.

What the Lord of Chaos City values ​​is the future of Hongmeng.

Even at the stellar level, one can already refine powerful treasures.

So, when it becomes powerful enough to reach the cosmic level, well, it is already at the cosmic level now.

Could those at the Domain Lord level, Realm Lord level, and even Immortal level refine even higher-level treasures, or even supreme treasures?
As for the most powerful and precious treasures, he dared not even think about them.

Not a single one exists in the entire human race.

If humanity possessed an ultimate treasure, there would be no need for such conservatism.

Humanity was the strongest race in the primordial universe back in the day, and other races were enslaved by them.

To date, there are six top-tier clans, nine major powers, and countless other forces.

This demonstrates the decline of humankind.

"Well, the reason I crafted this Zhou Tian Star Chart was actually due to a lot of coincidences."

Moreover, it was created using the power of a powerful individual. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to refine it.

Hongmeng's words startled Chaos, and his gaze turned to a certain point in the void.

Hongmeng was taken aback, knowing that the Lord of Chaos City had an extremely strong grasp of the primordial universe.

Even a true god would be killed here.

Perhaps they saw something.

He reached out, and a palace appeared in Hongmeng's hand.

The Lord of Chaos City observed carefully, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. You've already inherited this Palace of Ten Thousand Fires. And Venerable Anders has also partially merged into this palace. No wonder."

Many of his doubts were resolved at that moment.

No wonder that for so many years, no one has been able to successfully pass on the mantle of the Campos overlord.

Because if successful, it means that this precious treasure of the Wanhuo Palace will be recognized as its owner.

Venerable Anders partially integrated into this treasure, which meant that the other party was forced to become the successor's slave and servant.

Although Anders is not entirely without the ability to resist, he will most likely fall from his realm.

That's how it is with the Mech race.

Without a powerful divine body, it is impossible to maintain one's realm.

The Lord of Chaos City speculated that Hongmeng had borrowed Anders' power.

Perhaps it's because, as the legacy progressed, Anders was unable to stop it from continuing.

But he was wrong.

Hongmeng borrowed the power of its seven-colored dragon avatar from another world.

In addition, this Palace of Ten Thousand Fires is already extremely powerful, and it also contains many excellent materials.

Even so, he almost failed.

At that time, HarmonyOS was thinking that it would probably be reborn soon.

Unexpectedly, despite the numerous difficulties, he succeeded in the end.

Since he succeeded, Anders was forced to acknowledge a master.

Although they still have some autonomy, the two are essentially bound together by fate, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

Because Hongmeng owned the palace, he only needed a thought before his death to make the Wanhuo Palace self-destruct.

And Anders had no way to stop it.

If not, Anders would have to step in to ensure HarmonyOS survives.

In order to advance to the Venerable level, he even abandoned his previous body and partially merged into this Palace of Ten Thousand Fires.

Of course, that body is still there, and Anders can have an immortal body at any time to help with his work.

Although we can't go too far.

If he receives permission from Hongmeng, he can go out and not be confined to the vicinity of the Wanhuo Palace.

However, this immortal body can still borrow the power of the body within the Ten Thousand Fire Palace when it is near the Ten Thousand Fire Palace.

Once you distance yourself from it, it becomes increasingly difficult to draw upon its power.

"well."

The Lord of Chaos City laughed for a long time before stopping. Then he stared straight at Hongmeng, startling Hongmeng.

I am male, and I am attracted to women. Please don't do this.

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at Hongmeng with annoyance and said, "Alright, today, I will accept you as my disciple. What do you say?"

So you've already accepted an apprentice?
I remember that Luo Feng performed quite well in the original novel, but he didn't directly take on any disciples.

He was still a nominal disciple, and then came the test.

When it was his turn, he immediately started taking on apprentices?
"Not bad, I'll take you as my disciple directly. But from now on, this clone of yours won't leave; you'll stay here. Your importance is too high, so I'll grant you permanent residency in Chaos City. From now on, your other two clones can go out, but be careful not to be enslaved by other people's souls."

Hongmeng laughed: "There's no need to worry about that. I have a time clone, one body with three bodies. Even if the other two bodies die, they can be reborn. Moreover, as long as one body is still alive, the other bodies are not afraid of soul enslavement."

Ok?
The powerful soul of the Chaos City Lord surged into Hongmeng's mind, but he did not examine Hongmeng's past, nor did he search his soul.

He just wanted to test whether HarmonyOS was truly immune to soul enslavement.

After making his rounds, the Lord of Chaos City was even more satisfied.

Because he also discovered that he seemed unable to completely enslave the other's soul.

This soul seems unimportant to Hongmeng?
His discovery was correct.

The most important thing for Hongmeng is the True Spirit.

The true spirit, under the protection of the Primordial Mirror, has always wandered in the void.

No one can discover his true spirit.

As long as his true spirit remains intact, he has no fear of the opponent's soul-based methods.

"Okay, great."

In that instant, the Lord of Chaos City came up with many schemes on how to take advantage of this characteristic.

But in the end, he suppressed that thought.

Qin Hao's future is even more important.

“That would be even better. From now on, this clone of yours will stay here. Whatever materials you need, I can have Guiyi find them for you. Just stay here, you can cultivate if you want, or you can look at my collection of books if you don’t want to. My library is open to you.”

what?
There are other benefits too?
Those books must all be extremely high-end.

Some secret techniques and the like require a huge amount of points to exchange for in the treasure vault.

"Of course. This only applies to those below the Venerable level. The Immortal Secret Techniques are all available to you free of charge. For those above the Venerable level, you will still need to spend points to purchase them."

Well, I thought I could get it all for free.

However, even so, these secret techniques are still incredibly important and incredibly precious.

Immortality is a realm of immortality; in another world, he simply has no way of obtaining such a secret technique.

Even with the Dream Butterfly Secret Realm and the Taiji Diagram, he did not obtain the subsequent refining methods.

These all require contribution points, which can be redeemed within the sect.

Otherwise, how could you possibly exchange all of the core principles of a sage for such a low price?
"Yes, greetings, Master."

Hongmeng thought for a moment and realized that he didn't seem to have anything to do.

It means waiting for the main body to come back, so that all three bodies of myself will be here.

After that, there was no one left to oversee things on Xuelan Star.

But this opportunity is even more important right now.

The Lord of Chaos City is accepting disciples, and his library is open to all Immortals and below for free.

If you don't seize such benefits, you're blind or out of your mind.

The Lord of Chaos then summoned Venerable Guiyi: "This is my newly accepted disciple. Arrange for him to stay in the side hall. Then, open my library to him. Every now and then, go and fetch some materials for him. Hmm, make a list first."

"Then, we'll charge you half price."

"Huh? There's a charge?"

Hongmeng thought he could get materials for free; he had already thought of everything. Next, he would focus all his efforts on refining the powerful treasure.

The goal is to equip every clone in every world with one of these items.

Who knew that before this idea could even be implemented, it was seen through by the Lord of Chaos City and blocked.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at his newly accepted disciple with amusement. He wasn't afraid at all, and even knew how to be funny.

There's nothing good to do about it. Just like Guiyi, everyone respects him too much, which is also boring.

"Go on, you need to focus on your cultivation. Your talent is truly remarkable, but you are somewhat short-sighted."

Hongmeng was speechless. He knew that the Lord of Chaos City was referring to the fact that he had come to fleece people in two separate trips.

But you have no idea what kind of "wool" I'm trying to get.

That's the Chaos Stele.

"By the way, Master, now that I've become your disciple, aren't there any other benefits?" Hongmeng asked hurriedly before leaving.

You've already become my apprentice, and you're not giving me any benefits at all?
Wouldn't he be at a huge loss?
"What do you want?" The Lord of Chaos City seemed to want to tease him, so instead of offering benefits, he asked him what he wanted.

"What kind of supreme treasures and precious artifacts? A dozen wouldn't be too few, a hundred wouldn't be too many. And what about the number of times you can comprehend the Chaos Stele? A hundred times wouldn't be too few, two hundred times wouldn't be too many."

Ok?
Venerable Guiyi could not believe his ears. What did he hear?
As they say, if you ask for an exorbitant price, you've already reached the heavens.

"There are no supreme treasures, but if you can refine a minor treasure, the materials will be half price, which is already more than enough for you. Go refine it yourself. As for the Chaos Stele?"

The Lord of Chaos City thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you thirty chances to comprehend the Chaos Stele, and put them into your future body. Anyway, you don't need to go out and won't need them."

"Huh? I can't even leave this palace?"

"What do you say?"

"No, no, I'm in jail!" (End of Chapter)
