Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 132: Small Success
"Amethyst Island" under the jurisdiction of Qianwu Continent.

In the center is a purple crystal palace that is tens of thousands of kilometers high.

In the tall hall, there is a huge round table with a diameter of more than one kilometer, and next to the round table are three tall thrones.

The three great giants of Qianwu, Marquis Zidian, Marquis Jinyu and Marquis Heiyan, who had once warmly entertained Jiang Ye, were now sitting here.

嘭

“No, we just sent Jiang Ye away, why is Luo Feng coming again? When will this end?” Zi Dianhou, who had fuzz on his face, slammed the table in frustration.

Although Jiang Ye had never managed them when he was the Inspector, as the three high-ranking giants, they had long been accustomed to the feeling of holding power. Who would want someone watching over them?

"It's useless for you to be unhappy. Even if Luo Feng hasn't broken through to the Domain Lord level yet, he was able to break into the original secret realm in the first qualifying battle. With his talent, he can still reach the Domain Lord level in thousands of years. His hometown is Qianwu Universe Country. When the time comes, he will still come to our Qianwu branch as a special supervisory envoy."

Jin Yuhou, who was handsome to the point of being evil, said with disdain.

"Hmph, Marquis Jinyu, what do you mean? I was just complaining." Marquis Zidian snorted. "Besides, the members of the original secret realm, except for Jiang Ye, all of them took thousands of years to break through to the domain master level. Why did Luo Feng break through so quickly? He didn't really think that he could catch up with Jiang Ye as long as he broke through quickly!"

Just as Jin Yuhou was about to speak, he was interrupted by the woman in black veil beside him.

"That's enough! Marquis Zi Dian, Marquis Jin Yu!" said Marquis Hei Yan, who was barefoot and covered in a layer of black gauze. "No matter what, the company's appointment has been issued, and Luo Feng will soon take over the position of Supervisor! What's the point of you arguing and complaining here at this time!"

Hearing this, the ape-man Marquis Zi Dian and the evil man Marquis Jin Yu both fell silent, and then looked at the woman in black veil. After all, the last time Jiang Ye was the Inspector, they were able to live so easily, and Marquis Hei Yan had paid a lot.

Looking at the two people in silence, Hei Yan Hou said softly, "According to the information I found, Luo Feng was able to rush from the Primordial Secret Realm to the Original Secret Realm in such a short time. He must not be a fool. He is determined to investigate, which means he is forcing us to confront him."

"It won't do him any good."

"If he dares to do that, just kill him in secret!" the evil blond man said coldly.

"Kill him?" The ape sneered, "Jin Yuhou, you must have become stupid after staying in a woman's belly. Although Luo Feng doesn't have a big background like His Majesty Jiang Ye, do you think his teacher, King Zhen Yan, is a fool? King Zhen Yan is the second only to the Holy Lord in my ape tribe, and he is famous for being domineering and protecting his shortcomings. If you really dare to kill him secretly. Unless you do it perfectly without any handle, and even erase the memory in your brain to prevent King Zhen Yan from finding out, otherwise... you are dead!!!"

The evil blond man's pupils shrank.

King Zhenyan?
To crush Jin Yuhou to death is just like crushing an ant.

"Everyone, wake up. Luo Feng rushed into the original secret realm in his first qualifying battle. Although this kind of genius is not as good as His Highness Jiang Ye, the top leaders of the headquarters will definitely notice it!" Hei Yanhou said coldly.
"Besides, there's the King Zhen Yan behind him! Even if we take action, we can only teach him a lesson and make him suffer, but we must not kill him. Once we kill him... we will be on our way out."

The ape man and the evil blond man both nodded.

"We have no other choice!" Hei Yanhou shook his head helplessly.

According to the regulations of the Virtual Universe Company, members of the four secret realms who have broken through to the domain lord level will be sent to various universe countries.

Among them, only members of the original secret realm will serve as inspectors of various cosmic countries.

There are only a dozen domain masters in the entire original secret realm, and the human race is divided into 1008 cosmic countries, so the probability of being evenly distributed to each cosmic country is only about %. This probability is very small. In some cosmic countries, there may not be an inspector for tens, millions or even tens of millions of years.

But now, in just a hundred years, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has directly parachuted in two inspectors in succession. It must be said that this luck is simply unparalleled.

"I hope Luo Feng is a smart man. In this way, he can be powerful and comfortable during his tenure as the Special Supervisory Envoy, and the three of us will have no worries! Otherwise... we will all suffer together!" The evil blond man snorted.

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded in the hall.

The three giants stood up suddenly.

"He's coming!" Hei Yan Hou said softly.
"Go, show your enthusiasm and remember how you received His Highness Jiang Ye in the past, and welcome him the same way now."

"Yes, very enthusiastic." The ape-man nodded.

"Extremely enthusiastic." The evil blond man also deliberately showed what he thought was his most friendly smile.

…………

Just when the three giants were busy receiving Luo Feng.

Virtual Universe, Original District Manor No. 113

boom,
With a loud bang, a starry sky giant beast with a dark golden body and strength reaching the peak of the Immortal Army Lord fell to the ground, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot.

"Huh, I have finally completed the deduction of the four moves of Qingfeng Sword Technique." Jiang Ye put away the simulated long sword in his hand.

Ever since Jiang Ye started improving the Qingfeng sword technique, the power of these four sword techniques has become much stronger than before.

The level of the secret technique has also been deduced from the original ordinary level to the top level. Even though it ranks among the top secret techniques that Jiang Ye has seen, it is still far behind the peak secret techniques.

The secret techniques can be simply divided into five levels: 'inferior', 'ordinary', 'top', 'peak' and 'ultimate'.

The secret techniques created by ordinary world masters and some mediocre immortal gods are "not up to standard".

At Jiang Ye’s current level, this kind of secret technique can basically be created at will.

Ordinary secret techniques, as well as the secret techniques created by many immortal gods and some world masters, all fall into this category.

Top-level secret techniques are usually created by world masters who are geniuses and immortal gods! Jiang Ye's improved Qingfeng Sword Technique also falls into this category.

The pinnacle secret technique! For someone like King Zhenyan, who could survive in front of a cosmic master and was comparable to the most ordinary cosmic master, or someone like the peerless genius Ke Di, who was so powerful at the realm master level, the secret technique he created was generally considered the pinnacle secret technique.

As for the cosmic masters, almost all of them have mastered the ultimate skills.

“Now this new Qingfeng Sword Technique is only a step away from the pinnacle of the secret technique. I have also gained some understanding of the sixth picture of the Chaos Monument of the Universe. Just relying on the laws of time and space, it will be no problem for me to pass the sixteenth level of the Universe Bridge.” Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

"Ah."

"It's time to go see the Chaos City Lord, teacher." Jiang Ye used a trace of consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network. According to the Chaos City Lord's request, Jiang Ye could go directly to the Chaos Temple on Thunder Island to ask him for advice.

Virtual universe Thunder Island.

In the hazy chaotic air current at the highest point of Thunder Island, there is a temple. It is the highest temple in the entire Thunder Island.
"Whoosh..."

Jiang Ye suddenly appeared in front of the temple. There was still no servant or follower in the temple. It was empty, with only the omnipresent chaotic air currents floating in it.

Step inside.

Walking in the main hall of the temple, he stopped and said respectfully: "Teacher."

"What's the matter?" A voice came from deep within the chaotic airflow.

"In the past few decades, I have made some progress in improving the Qingfeng Sword Technique. Please give me some comments, Master." Jiang Ye said respectfully.

"Perform it." A voice came.

"Yes."

Jiang Ye said respectfully.

With a thought, an empty training ground suddenly appeared.

This is the "virtual universe" where everything can be virtualized. According to the teacher of the Chaos City Lord... his Chaos Temple also has the characteristics of a "training field" and can be achieved as long as you think about it.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, and his aura instantly became restrained, as if he had merged with the chaotic airflow around him. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if accumulating endless power.

The first move - a gentle breeze!
Jiang Ye's wrist trembled slightly, and the long sword swung out slowly like a gentle breeze. This sword seemed gentle, but it carried an indescribable rhythm. Wherever the sword passed, the chaotic airflow was quietly separated, forming a faint gap.

From the cracks, a crystal clear liquid was faintly flowing out, like dewdrops on the lawn in the early morning. It seemed weak, but it contained the power to absorb everything.

As the sword danced, Jiang Ye's figure became light and graceful, just like a leaf drifting in the wind, freely shuttling through the chaotic airflow. Every movement was smooth and natural, without the slightest bit of worldly air.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ye's pace suddenly quickened, his figure flashed like a ghost, and the long sword instantly turned into a black lightning, cutting through the chaotic airflow.

Second Style: Wind Shadow Gliding Light

The sword was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch its trajectory with the naked eye, leaving only a blurry light and shadow. The power contained in the sword was like a surging tide, one wave higher than the other, surging forward.

The chaotic airflow rolled violently under the impact of this powerful force. Jiang Ye's figure appeared and disappeared in it. Every time he drew his sword, he had an unstoppable momentum, as if he wanted to tear everything in front of him apart.

The third style: Flowing Wind and Returning Snow

Jiang Ye turned in the air, and his sword drew a graceful arc in the air, like falling snowflakes.

A layer of crystal light surged on the sword, flickering like snowflakes. This light was not static, but constantly changed shape as the sword danced, sometimes like dancing snowflakes, sometimes like swirling whirlwinds.

Finally, Jiang Ye gathered all his strength on the long sword, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Clear wind breaks through the clouds!" In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from the sword and rushed directly into the depths of the chaotic airflow. Under the impact of the light, the chaotic airflow quickly dispersed to both sides. A straight passage appeared in the light.

In the Chaos Temple, Jiang Ye's sword returned to its sheath as he moved. "Teacher," he said, his voice carrying a hint of respect and a hint of confidence.

Jiang Ye is fully confident in his improved "Qingfeng Sword Technique".

The first three moves of the Qingfeng Sword Technique were just a collection of the most basic skills, but now, these three moves have reached the state of returning to the original. They seem to be ordinary sword moves, but in the interval between each swing of the sword, there is a deadly murderous intent hidden.

As for the last and most powerful move, "Clear Wind Breaking Clouds", Jiang Ye increased its power dozens of times by relying on his own understanding of the law and unremitting research. How could he not be filled with joy at such an achievement?

"Hmm..." From the depths of the chaotic airflow came the low and slightly ethereal response of the Lord of Chaos City.

"The technique of the Qingfeng Sword Technique you improved is better than the original one, but that's not enough. Is there a limit to the secret technique you can improve?"

"Restrictions?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but blurt out, a puzzled look instantly appearing on his face.

"Although the improved secret method can be flexibly adjusted according to one's own characteristics in the later stage, and it will be performed as smoothly as flowing water. But don't forget that its foundation was created by others after all. If you want to continue to dig deeper and further improve it, the difficulty will inevitably increase exponentially!" The Lord of Chaos City explained patiently.

Hearing these words, Jiang Ye was startled, as if struck by lightning. His eyes were confused at first, and then gradually became clear.

Yes! Although the four styles of Qingfeng Sword Technique represent four completely different sword techniques, its basic framework is always there.

No matter how cleverly he improved it before, he had never touched this basic framework. Unless he completely overturned and rebuilt these basic frameworks, but that was so difficult that it would be better to start from scratch and create his own secret method.

"Of course, you don't need to feel disappointed. This experience of improving the secret technique will be of great benefit to you in creating your own secret technique in the future."

"How about this! From today on, you will be in your training grounds often. I will arrange some special opponents for you every day so that you can hone your new sword skills."

"Yes, teacher." Jiang Ye was extremely respectful.

"Go ahead." A voice came from the air flow.

Jiang Ye bowed respectfully and then disappeared out of thin air.

“In just a few decades, Jiang Ye was able to create a secret technique that is close to the peak level. Although this is an improvement based on the secret techniques of others, this kind of talent has far surpassed Ke Di back then.” The Lord of Chaos City raised his head slightly, his gaze seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space and returned to those long-gone years.

"If..." The Chaos City Lord's voice suddenly paused, his tone full of unconcealable regret, "If I could have given Ke Di a treasure back then, perhaps he would still be alive." After saying that, he sighed heavily.

When Ke Di created the pinnacle secret method, he had already passed the "realm master level" original Tongtian Mountain. Naturally, he had reached the 20th level in terms of comprehension of the laws, and was infinitely close to the Lord of the Universe. His comprehension of the laws was much stronger than Jiang Ye's current level. Of course, he had also practiced for a longer time than Jiang Ye.

Although Ke Di also has many powerful trump cards, such as attack and escape, but treasures like the Starry Sky Cloak and the Killing Wu Wing are difficult to obtain even for the Universe Masters, let alone a Realm Master-level genius like Ke Di.

Just like the Lord of Chaos City, only a treasure like the Lord of the Universe can be made out of it.
