Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 134: Encountering Brolin and Entering the World Between Worlds

In front of him, a bare mountain range split the earth like a huge sword, forming a deep canyon in the center. That was the legendary Wind and Thunder Canyon. Chen Yue stared at the fierce wind formed by the energy of the origin of the universe, flowing freely in the canyon, like a violent dance between heaven and earth.

On the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon, the geniuses of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region gathered. Among them, a young man surrounded by the crowd was particularly eye-catching. He exuded an unparalleled noble temperament. It was the Ninth Prince Brolin.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, thank you for your reminder." A genius flattered Brolin, his tone full of flattery.

"Hahaha, you're welcome." Brolin laughed heartily, looking quite proud.

In fact, these people originally intended to hunt down Luo Feng and others, but after Brolin's warning, they stopped the pursuit. As a result, they not only avoided a conflict with Chen Yue, but also took the opportunity to show goodwill to Brolin, and felt very grateful in their hearts.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, what is your relationship with Chen Yue? Why do you defend him so much?" Suddenly, someone raised a question.

"Speaking of my acquaintance with Chen Yue, it all started a long time ago..." Brolin began to talk incessantly, and everyone around him listened with great interest.

"Hey, this prince really knows how to brag." Thor laughed softly.

Chen Yue smiled slightly but did not respond. "Let's go, too." He suddenly said, and walked straight towards Brolin.

"There are a lot of them, so be careful." Hong warned cautiously.

"Don't worry, Brolin has helped us several times, so we have some friendship." Chen Yue said nonchalantly. He knew in his heart that even if Brolin wanted to turn against us, he might not have the courage to do so.

"My relationship with Chen Yue..." Brolin was talking when suddenly someone noticed Chen Yue's arrival.

"Chen Yue!" someone shouted, catching Brolin's attention.

"I know. I'll tell you about Chen Yue later." Brolin smiled proudly.

"No, he really came." the man reminded.

"Oh? Chen Yue is here?" Brolin turned around quickly and saw Chen Yue, Luo Feng and others walking towards them.

In an instant, the expression on Brolin's face became complicated, mixed with surprise and subtle relief.

Three days later, Chen Yue, Luo Feng and others finally arrived at a secret place surrounded by mountains. Here, the peaks pierced the sky like sharp blades, and the clouds and mists were entangled in the mountainside, sometimes torn apart by the strong wind, revealing the jagged rocks, like a magnificent and mysterious natural painting.

"According to the instructions on the map, this is the place." Chen Yue said as he tightly grasped the precious map he got from Brolin.

This map was much more detailed than the one Luo Feng and his team had bought before. It meticulously depicted every secret path and hidden place. Even the smallest mountain streams and valleys were accurately outlined, like a delicate ancient scroll slowly unfolding before Chen Yue's eyes.

Chen Yue lowered his head and glanced at the screen on his wrist arm guard, his eyes focused, and whispered: "Follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen followed silently. The closer they got to the canyon, the stronger the wind became, like an invisible giant hand constantly pushing their bodies.

Soon, Chen Yue stopped in front of a huge rock. He gathered all his strength and suddenly moved the rock away, revealing a hidden cave. At this time, he used his mind to transmit the sound, and the sound echoed in the minds of the four people: "Everyone go in, there is a cave inside, leading directly to the wall of the canyon."

"You can find such a place?" Thor couldn't help but exclaimed, with surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go in." Hong went into the cave first without hesitation.

He knew that in this world ravaged by thunder and lightning, the range of a spiritualist's telekinesis was extremely limited. Even in the air, the spread of telekinesis was so weak, and in order to make the telekinesis penetrate those boulders mixed with the energy of the origin of the universe, at least stellar-level telekinesis was required, which was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, such a hidden place is almost impossible to be discovered. If you try to dig it yourself, facing the hard rocks of Fenglei Canyon that have been carved by the wind for countless years, it will take one or two years or even longer to complete.

"Thanks to this map." Chen Yue also jumped into the cave and carefully restored the rocks to cover the entrance.

The cave twisted and turned, like a dark tunnel leading to an unknown abyss, gradually leading them deeper into the mountains.

Finally, they arrived at a mountain wall in the Fenglei Canyon where the wind was howling. There was a hole about 30 centimeters wide on the mountain wall, and the sound of wind whistling out of it was like the roar of a giant beast.

If Chen Yue remembered correctly, the world within the world would be opened soon. Now that he was here, he naturally had to help the Thunder God get the inheritance.

"Teacher, we haven't collected enough wind corner stones yet." Luo Feng reminded.

"It's okay. I'll just practice here with peace of mind." Chen Yue nodded calmly.

He had already asked Brolin to arrange for someone to look for it, so Brolin must have no problem doing it. Besides, he still had 1000 students from the Qianwu Dojo scattered around.

The Wind Corner Stone is one of the mission items for this assessment, and it is also very difficult to obtain.

There are several methods recorded:
First, climb to the top of the canyon and take the risk to collect wind corner stones. Because the wind will be more violent as you go down and towards the center, and it will be much weaker at the top, and even a star level 7 or 8 can withstand it. The only threat is that the top is more likely to attract lightning, and once lightning strikes, there is no chance of survival. "

The second method is to approach the canyon and use telekinesis or the Force to pull the wind-blown cornerstones over. This method is difficult but less dangerous and requires patience.

Third, hunt down other teams that have obtained the Wind Corner Stone and plunder them.

Chen Yue, on the other hand, planned to use the fourth method, which was to let others send it to him voluntarily.

In this secret place, they concentrated on their cultivation, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.

However, the occasional sound of fighting in the distance could still be clearly heard; it was the desperate fight between other talented students for the Wind Corner Stone.

Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen looked at each other, and a complex emotion surged in their hearts.

"How cruel!" Thor whispered, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"This is the rule." Hong nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. This is the law of those huge organizations in the universe.

They continue to recruit large numbers of talented elites, train them with the best educational resources, and provide them with generous conditions.

However, behind this glamour, there are the most stringent elimination rules. In the end, only a very small number of truly strong ones will emerge from the countless competitors.

In fact, those who can participate in the universe-level apprentice mercenary assessment are still not considered to be truly strong. Even if they pass, they are only "preparatory strong".

Among the elites of these large organizations, the probability of becoming a truly cosmic-level powerhouse is only one in ten million.

Such competition is like walking through a thorny forest with swords and sabers, and every step is a test between life and death.

In the howling wind of the Wind and Thunder Canyon, they understood that only by constantly improving themselves can they gain a place in this cruel rule.

So they continued to practice in the cave, with firm faith in the future and control of their own destiny in their hearts.

Time passed quietly, as if inadvertently, and many days and nights passed through fingers. Unexpectedly, Brolin sent people to deliver precious wind corner stones again, and twice. Luo Feng and his team members took a quick look and were surprised to find that the number of wind corner stones was enough for them to pass the test smoothly.

"It seems that the Ninth Prince is about to become Chen Yue's full-time errand boy." Thor teased, with a hint of ease and mischief in his words.

"Haha." Hong also echoed, with a smile on his face. Although they had been through many trials during this period, they seemed to have seen the light at the moment, and their mood became much lighter. The two looked at each other, and their laughter echoed in the air, as if it had dispelled the haze that enveloped their hearts, making the days ahead less heavy.

Sudden--

A deafening roar shattered the silence, and the entire Thunder World shook violently without any warning. The earth shook, as if doomsday had come, and the sky flashed with dazzling lightning.

Everyone in the world within the world was shocked by this sudden change.

"What happened?" someone exclaimed, his words filled with fear and anxiety.

"Is the world going to collapse?" More voices joined the torrent of questions.

"Oh my God!"

Cries of surprise echoed in the Wind and Thunder Canyon. Within a radius of thousands of kilometers, tens of thousands of stellar-level adventurers looked up, their hearts filled with astonishment.

Luo Feng and the others looked around in shock. The whole world was shaking, and the mountains seemed to be trembling with their souls.

"What's going on?" Luo Feng looked around, trying to find the answer.

"Are you finally here?" Chen Yue looked into the distance.

Tens of thousands of adventurers, especially those on the mountains, saw almost at the same time that the mountains not far away cracked open and a deep, dark cave appeared.

The entrance of the cave seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, half of it was above the mountain range and half was hidden within the mountain range. The surrounding space seemed to have been torn and distorted by the powerful force.

"What is that?" Thor widened his eyes in disbelief and pointed at the dark black hole.

In comparison, Chen Yue seemed slightly calmer.

"The black hole that tears apart the world of thunder?" Hong said.

Everyone could see that this black hole was not an ordinary cave, but some mysterious existence that tore through space. Luo Feng asked in a low voice: "Babata, what exactly is this black hole?"

"It should be... the entrance to a world! Yes, the entrance to the world!" Babata's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"The entrance to the world?" Everyone was full of doubts.

Tens of thousands of adventurers in the mountains were all attracted by this strange sight, staring closely at the terrifying black hole.

Suddenly, a voice rang out among the crowd: "A world within a world! This may very well be the entrance to a world within a world!"

"Yes, it's the world within the world!"

"Act quickly!" Following the shouts, everyone reacted quickly, the desire and tension for exploration ignited in their hearts. They were ready to rush towards the unknown black hole to uncover the mystery of the world within the world.

"Let's not rush." ​​Chen Yue suddenly spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was very clear in the noise.

Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen were all stunned, and turned to look at Chen Yue, their eyes full of confusion. The entrance to the world within the world is right in front of them, why not take action immediately?
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, feeling a little anxious.

Chen Yue smiled slightly, looking calm: "Opening the world within the world is never that simple. We don't even know what kind of risks will be behind this entrance, so we need to be prepared in advance."

He glanced at the adventurers who were rushing towards the black hole impatiently, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes: "Many people may rush in too eagerly without considering the risks, which may provide us with some useful information."

Thor nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, I don't know what traps and dangers there are, so it would be bad to act rashly."

"Moreover," Chen Yue continued, "according to my understanding, after the entrance to the world within the world is opened, true explorers will have some time to enter, and the entrance will not be closed soon. We have enough time."

After hearing this, the few people calmed down a little, and continued to look at the crowd that kept rushing towards the black hole. Chen Yue's calmness and composure gradually calmed their restlessness.

Not far away, more and more adventurers could not wait to begin exploring. They ran towards the black hole without hesitation, as if they were afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this moment, the sound of the strong wind in the Wind and Thunder Canyon seemed to have weakened a bit, and the restlessness of the entire world seemed to be condensed in that black hole.

After a while, the first group of adventurers finally rushed into the black hole.

However, surprisingly, the people who entered did not disappear from sight immediately, but were slowly sucked in by some force, as if passing through a huge resistance membrane.

"It seems that entering the world within the world is not an instant process." Hong said, his eyes fixed on the figures gradually disappearing into the black hole.

"For us, this is an opportunity for observation." Chen Yue nodded in agreement.

As time went on, more and more adventurers were "swallowed" by the black hole, but they soon discovered that the black hole seemed to be gradually shrinking, and the number of people entering it also decreased significantly.

"Perhaps, the entrance to the world within the world is about to close." Babata reminded Luo Feng in his mind.

"It seems like it's time." Chen Yue said decisively, with determination in his eyes.

"Let's go." Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen all understood that after this period of observation, it was the best time for them to act.

So the four of them set off quickly and headed towards the black hole.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.

The moment Chen Yue entered, he was pulled into a huge black hole by a huge tearing force.

On the way to the black hole, Chen Yue's eyes were still sharp.

He knew that in the world within the world, everything was unknown, risks and opportunities were intertwined, and any contempt and hesitation could lead to fatal consequences.

They must concentrate all their attention and mobilize all their strength and wisdom in order to survive this adventure and even gain something.

Finally, they approached the huge black hole.

Gradually, the darkness around began to fade, replaced by a strange hazy light, as if countless stars were twinkling in the distance.

Chen Yue's heart was shocked, and he felt that the space around him seemed to be constantly twisting and changing.

"What is this?" Chen Yue couldn't help but feel confused. This was not the case in the original book.

"Luo Feng?" Chen Yue tried to contact Luo Feng and the others, but he couldn't get through at all.
