Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed since Gaosheng came to Chaos City.

Twelve years in Chaos City, but nearly forty years have passed in the original universe.

In just forty years, the situation in the entire Black Dragon Mountain star region has changed dramatically.

In a short period of time, the Wei Di family has seen the birth of several cosmic-level figures, all of whom are on the planet Qiu Long.

Luo De, Gao Sheng's father, was the first to become a cosmic-level expert. In less than twenty years, Shui Lan'er and Gao Jie also became elders of the Wei Di family, as did Nan Cheng, who became a cosmic-level expert before becoming a member of the Wei Di family.

The Wei Di family, despite currently lacking a Realm Lord, is more powerful than any Realm Lord family.

No one was surprised that among Luo Feng's relatives and friends, there was also a group of cosmic-level individuals.

Cosmic-level beings can be mass-produced with money, but ordinary realm lord forces wouldn't do that. Only the most core members of immortal families can enjoy such treatment.

In the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, the most prominent family right now is the Wei Di family, followed by the Earthlings who have just left their homeland.

However, the Weidi family is too small and has difficulty reproducing. Although they currently have a lot of territory, it will probably not be long before they can't compare with the Earthlings, who have the population of an entire planet.

……

In the small garden of the Fire King's mansion, Gao Sheng gazed at the firebird statue in front of him, then looked up at the sky.

Although this statue does not yet possess abilities similar to the Chaos Monument, it can still be sensed to have a distinct sense of law, which is why Gao Sheng has hardly left this small garden over the years.

"I have mastered all 328 secret techniques in the third volume, but most of them are not perfect. I have a deep understanding of the 24 profound laws and mysteries, but I feel that I am just one step away from fully comprehending them. I have only fully comprehended 11 of them."

That's pretty good. If Gao Sheng were to go to the Tongtian Bridge now and fight the fourth-level gatekeeper, he wouldn't need to use the advantage of psychic power amplitude or the profound help of spatial laws. He could easily defeat his opponent with just the simple law of fire.

It should be noted that the understanding of the laws before the promotion was actually only at the level of the third level of the Heavenly Bridge.

"I have a deep understanding of the remaining profound laws, and I have also accumulated a lot of questions. Perhaps it is time to go and see the Chaos Stele."

The statue created by the teacher is currently beyond our comprehension, but Gao Sheng now has four opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

He was about to be promoted and set off for the city lord's mansion.

The corridor of the Chaos Stele's secret chamber, in front of the secret chamber of the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele.

"Lord Kandri." Gao Sheng respectfully bowed to the three-eyed old man guarding the cultivation chamber.

Guardian Kandri looked at Gao Sheng in front of him. "Gao Sheng? Not bad. You passed four levels in a row on your first attempt at crossing the Heavenly Bridge. You now have four chances to comprehend it."

"There's no one at the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele, let's go in," Kandri said with a smile.

The door to the secret room slowly opened, and Gao Sheng immediately rushed in through the crack.

"A promotion? He's been taken in as a disciple by Huo Cang? I bet he's being encouraged to cultivate the Law of Fire again?" The three-eyed old man, Kander, smiled slightly. "Although Huo Cang doesn't follow the conventional path, his disciples are all extraordinary, so it's unlikely that this promotion will be delayed."

Inside the secret chamber of the Chaos Stele, thick chaotic energy surrounded the stele. Gao Sheng stood a hundred meters away from the stele, looking at the large tree on it.

He didn't immediately grasp the meaning; he simply observed the entire scene.

When Gao Sheng first tried to comprehend the Chaos Stele of the Mother Ancestor, he had no idea what the image meant and was just figuring it out by feeling. But now, of course, he knows.

"In the whole picture, these leaves represent the five fundamental laws, and each law has 10081 leaves."

"If one can fuse the leaves of one of the laws into a whole, it means that one has fully comprehended that law and can achieve immortality."

"The tree trunk represents the laws of space, becoming increasingly profound from top to bottom, while the canopy conceals a complete image of these spatial laws..."

Gao Sheng nodded as he looked at the screen.

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele is not only guided by a single law. The arrangement of these fallen leaves and the branches growing from the main trunk also have other mysteries that can guide people to understand the combined use of two or even more laws..."

Mysterious! Comprehensive! All-encompassing!

Because it is so mysterious, although the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele is not profound, it is very difficult to comprehend!

"Anyway, I'll just focus on comprehending the Law of Fire this time." Gao Sheng shook his head to clear his mind of distractions, picked up a leaf that exuded the aura of fire, and concentrated his consciousness on it.

Boom! The leaf seemed to grow larger instantly, rushing into Gao Sheng's consciousness. Immediately, a large number of leaves rushed in as well, rapidly evolving into the various mysteries of the Law of Fire...

Buzzing sounds filled Gao Sheng's two consciousnesses, which were filled with the various secret techniques from "The Hundred Solutions to Fire" that he had not yet mastered. He practiced each move one by one, quickly resolving all his doubts...

"Come out! Come out!..."

A voice echoed in my mind, growing louder and louder.

Startled awake, Gao Sheng, his face a mixture of regret and excitement, flew out of the Chaos Stele's secret chamber with reluctance.

A streak of light swiftly flew into the Fire King's manor.

King Huozang was coming out of his mansion.

"Teacher!" Gao Sheng quickly stopped and bowed.

"Hmm." The white-bearded Fire King smiled. "You went to study the Chaos Stele?"

"Yes, teacher."

Fire King waved his hand, "Then hurry up and don't waste time."

"Yes!" Gao Sheng quickly flew to his usual little garden.

Fire King smiled as he watched Gao Sheng's retreating figure.

"My disciple is a real freak. He's gone to study the Chaos Stele again... It seems he might actually be able to comprehend the first three volumes within twenty years."

……

Three years later, in the virtual universe cultivation space.

"kill!"

Thousands of cosmic-level ninth-tier martial artists and mentalists rushed towards the ascension.

"Hmph!" 1200 short needles flew up from the boom arm and quickly combined to form a black sphere with a diameter of six meters.

Boom! The black sphere flashed, like a streak of black light, instantly bringing forth a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

As Gao Sheng stepped off the fire plate, he was like a streak of red flame, his trajectory unpredictable. Wherever he appeared, large numbers of people fell, and no one could offer any resistance.

In a matter of moments, the entire virtual battlefield was completely wiped out.

Boom! The black sphere flew back as if teleported, hovering in front of Gao Sheng.

"Finally! I have finally fully understood the third book."

Gao Sheng's eyes were filled with excitement.

"The 36 fundamental mysteries of the Fire element hold no secrets from me whatsoever!"

"The difference between fully comprehending the laws and simply understanding them is enormous! In my normal state, I can still only use the third level of the Serpentfire Realm, the 'Fireball Style,' but this fireball is completely different."

That's right, the black sphere in front of Gao Sheng is the third level of the Serpentfire Realm, the Fireball Style!

The fireball itself is also divided into three levels, with diameters ranging from twelve meters to nine meters and then to six meters, and the color also becomes increasingly darker.

That's because the power is becoming more concentrated and more internalized.

However, this fireball, which can be raised, has absolutely no connection with "fire".

A normal fireball, even at the third level, is red.

Only when the fourth level of "Burning Void Style" is used, the power will surge, and the size will shrink drastically, and the color will turn dark red. When "Burning Void Style" is perfected, all energy will no longer leak out, and it will turn black. The appearance will no longer be limited to a sphere and can be changed at will.

"With this trick, let alone the fourth level of the Sky Bridge, I'm afraid I could even get through the fifth level."

Using only the Law of Fire, based on the fourth level of laws, to pass through the fifth level, there is absolutely no need to rely on any profound spatial laws!

"But now my spatial laws are far behind."

Gao Sheng pondered silently.

In fact, because the difference between Gao Sheng's understanding of the spatial laws and the fire laws is too great, there is little difference between using the spatial laws and not using them. At most, it makes him more flexible in battle, but it does not improve his power.

The combined use of the two laws can be one level more powerful than using a single law, provided that the two laws are at a similar level!

The difference is too great, so it has virtually no effect.

Even the movement techniques from the third volume of "The Hundred Solutions to Fire" that Gao Sheng used through the laws of fire were far superior to his Nine-Line Flow Movement Technique and his previous Leaf Shadow Movement Technique, both in terms of speed and unpredictability.

Chaos City, in the Fire King's manor.

Gao Sheng respectfully replied, "Teacher, I have completed the entire third volume."

"What!" Fire King jumped up.

"Let's see how it goes."

Gao Sheng stretched out his body and immediately began to unleash his fist techniques in the hall.

Each volume of "The Hundred Solutions to Fire" contains many secret techniques, most of which are for learning purposes. However, the entire "The Hundred Solutions to Fire" also includes a complete set of fist techniques and body techniques, which have extremely high practical value.

The so-called boxing techniques also include fingers, palms, claws, and legs.

There is no need to practice other secret techniques to achieve a high level of mastery. This set of boxing techniques contains all the profound laws and mysteries of the first and second volumes. Once it is fully mastered, it means that the mysteries of the corresponding level are completely understood and integrated into a whole.

According to the Fire King, fighting directly with one's body without using any weapons is the way to be closest to the origin of the universe and the most suitable way to comprehend the fundamental laws.

Of course, if you really want to use this set of boxing techniques in combat, you can use weapons such as boxing gloves.

Inside the hall, Gao Sheng appeared like a streak of fire, pouncing, clawing, kicking, and elbowing!

The fists whistled through the air, every movement precise and perfectly aligned with the fundamental laws of fire, making the entire hall incredibly hot.

Whoosh! A flash of red light, and Gao Sheng stood in the center of the hall, bowing and saying, "Teacher!"

Gao Sheng's face was full of joy. His teacher had asked him to master the first three books within twenty years, and he had done it! He only took fifteen years.

Fire King was shocked!

"How is that possible? The second volume took more than five years, and the third volume took less than ten years?"

"How is that possible?"

Understanding the essence of a law is not as simple as just being able to use it; it is extremely difficult.

Many genius realm lords can easily gain the recognition of the laws by comprehending the basic laws, and easily reach the strength of the eighth or ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven. However, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the entire law and break through to immortality. This is because they have not comprehended the essence of the law. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the basic laws after delving into them!

That's why King Huozang required Gaosheng to fully comprehend one volume before practicing the next.

The claim that he could comprehend the first three volumes in twenty years was just something the Fire King said. How could comprehend the essence of the laws be so easy?

When the twenty-year mark arrives, Gao Sheng will naturally be able to comprehend the statue once more.

If Gao Sheng could comprehend the statue twice during his thirty years in Chaos City and then fully understand the first three volumes, King Huozang would be overjoyed.

The first three volumes of "The Hundred Explanations of Fire" correspond to the 36 fundamental mysteries of the fire element.

In terms of the level of laws, it is only at the level of the fifth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

But that refers to normal feelings and insights.

If one can fully comprehend the essence of the 36 profound mysteries, one can actually approach the sixth level of the Bridge to Heaven.

With the disciple's astonishing mental power amplitude, there's no need for any other laws. Even if he knows nothing about spatial laws, he can easily pass the sixth level!

That would definitely make King Li Yan of Fire Treasury look very proud.

Fire King had no idea, and even Gao Sheng himself hadn't expected, how terrifying the comprehension of the evolved Sea of ​​Consciousness was!

Moreover, it involves two consciousnesses comprehending simultaneously.

The second volume of "The Hundred Solutions to Fire" states that Gao Sheng only took three years to achieve his goal; the rest of the time he spent cultivating the mystical arts of the Primordial Mystic Arts.

King Huozang looked at Gao Sheng with a complex expression and slowly said, "Gao Sheng, you can take this fourth volume. However, you still have fifteen years left in Chaos City. During this time, focus your main efforts on the laws of space..."

"Yes, teacher!"

"Also, when you leave Chaos City, come back to study the statue. At that time, I will give you the fifth volume as well."

"yes!"

Watching his disciple happily retreat with the original fourth volume, King Huozang shook his head and smiled.

"My disciple is simply a monster..."
