Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Castle training room.

"Xiao Ai, go to your personal space."

"Okay." Xiao Ai was also very excited.

call!

Gao Sheng appeared on a huge plain with a metal floor, with a tin house standing alone in the middle in front of him.

This?

"Xiao Ai, your construction skills are worrying."

The tiny, beautiful girl, no bigger than the palm of his hand, was still perched on Gao Sheng's shoulder, but now she looked puzzled.

"Wait a minute, I clearly set it to the Green Green Grassland..."

A deep voice sounded from behind.

"it's me."

Gao Sheng turned around and saw a black robot more than two meters tall, with a round body and limbs, walking over with a clattering sound, making the ground shake.

Xiao Ai's eyes were glazed over.

What's going on? This is completely beyond its comprehension.

"Damn, bro, what are you doing here?" Gao Sheng shouted.

"This is called heavy metal style, you know?" The black robot, Old Iron, clattered ahead, his voice deep. "It's just a place to read, why are you making all these demands?"

"You're Lao Tie?" Xiao Ai had heard that name before.

"That's right." A smile actually appeared on Lao Tie's metallic face. "Little girl, I don't care about anything else, but from now on, you'll listen to me about this place."

Xiao Ai turned to look at Gao Sheng, who forced a smile and said, "Uh, buddy, he's also an intelligent life form."

Xiao Ai nodded blankly.

I don't understand. Even if both are intelligent beings, can a device be controlled by two intelligent beings at the same time?

At least in Xiao Ai's database, this should be impossible.

Once inside the iron house, besides simple tables and chairs, all four sides were lined with bookshelves, layer upon layer, many of which were empty.

This virtual space, of course, cannot simulate any domain laws. It can be used for basic training, but for the current advanced level, it is indeed just a place to read books. These secret manuals are inconvenient to read through a light computer, and making them into physical books is even more inconvenient and unsafe. Moreover, these secret manuals have many different graphics, which are also difficult to make.

Many factions cultivate elites by transmitting secret techniques through virtual spaces like the Dream Palace. Personal personal computers are not allowed to take these techniques away to prevent their leakage.

"These three sides contain your secret techniques and manuals," Old Tie pointed out.

Upon inspection, Gao Sheng found that, apart from the "Cage of Souls" which was placed in the study of the villa in the Nine Star Bay residential area of ​​the virtual universe he had just purchased, all the other secret manuals given by the ancestor and clan leader had been copied here, and there were also many family secret techniques that were already in the computer.

"Not only these secret techniques, but the clan leader also sent me a lot of advanced information, which is also here," Xiao Ai said cautiously, glancing at Lao Tie as she spoke.

The old man nodded.

Gao Sheng nodded and became an elder, which was only natural.

"This side contains cultivation information, intelligence from the universe, and so on," Xiao Ai said, pointing to the fourth bookshelf.

"Take a look at these when you have time. It's good to be well-informed. There's no harm in having more knowledge. Don't bother that young lady all the time. Your family's information is here too. You should take a look." Old Tie picked up a book and tapped Gao Sheng on the head.

Xiao Ai chuckled, looking at Lao Tie with admiration in her eyes.

Judging from his tone, Gao Sheng doesn't seem to be Lao Tie's master; rather, Lao Tie seems to be Gao Sheng's senior.

Oh? Gao Sheng picked up the book "A Brief Introduction to the Weidi Family" and started flipping through it.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the family currently had no other Realm Lords besides Emperor Wei, three surviving Domain Lords, and forty-seven Universe-level experts. In addition, the family also had over one hundred Universe-level guest elders.

"Internal members?" Before his promotion, Gao Sheng only knew that the family members were divided into six levels. It turns out that the Wei Di family also has core members, internal members and external members.

All direct descendants of the Wei Di family are core members, numbering less than 100,000.

The number of internal members was not much greater than that of the core members. The main members of the internal members were people like Shui Lan'er who had given birth to children for the Wei Di family.

There are also those cosmic-level guest elders, who are all internal members. Except for not attending family meetings, their other privileges are exactly the same as those of the core members.

There are many external members; most of the cultivators at the Hengxing level and above in the Weidi family territory are external members.

Previously, Anson, along with his father and a bunch of bodyguards, were all like that.

If Gao Sheng wanted, he could register his slaves as external members, but it wouldn't make much sense.

After quickly browsing through the family information in the virtual space, Gao Sheng entered the newly purchased virtual universe villa and examined the "Cage of Souls" given to him by his ancestor in the study.

"The Cage of Souls can only be cultivated by one person? Even if I pass it on to someone else, how would the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance know?" Gao Sheng muttered as he opened the "Cage of Souls (Personal Authorized Edition)".

The second page was a long string of letters and numbers.

Below, there was even smaller print: "Please remember the authorization code for this secret method for verification. Anyone who practices this secret method and cannot provide a legitimate source will be killed without mercy."

"Damn!" Gao Sheng thought to himself, "Awesome!"

No wonder, most human martial artists who are slightly stronger probably train in the virtual universe, because they probably can't escape the checks.

After observing carefully for a while, I roughly understood the principles behind these two secret techniques.

"The Cage of Souls" is a protective cage condensed on the soul using mental power. It has seven levels. These two books only contain the first two levels. Gao Sheng guessed that the ancestor probably didn't exchange for all of them. He didn't know how many levels he exchanged for. Maybe he only had these two levels, because the second level requires a universe-level cultivation to master.

Although Xiao Ai has already read "Soul Thorn" and has it in her personal space, it was originally placed in this study.

"Soul Spike" is a secret technique that condenses ethereal spiritual energy into sharp spikes to directly attack the opponent's soul. There are five levels in total, and this is the third level.

Gao Sheng pondered to himself, "Isn't this similar to Luo Feng's Void Tower and Myriad Sword Soul Seal? It's just hard to say who is stronger or weaker."

"Hey buddy? Do you even know how powerful or weak a secret technique can be?" Gao Sheng asked.

Lao Tie also appeared in this private room.

Old Tie said, "I can't judge whether a secret technique is good or bad. What I know about this is all the information stored in your original quantum computer and the information I recently collected in the virtual universe. As for what I know after I merged with the origin of this world, it's all about the natural things in this universe, such as the effects and functions of various life forms and natural treasures. I don't understand artificial creations either."

Xiao Ai listened from the side, but she didn't understand either.

Origin? Harmony? I understand each meaning individually, but what does it mean when put together?

Anyway, my buddy is really awesome.

Alright, since there's nothing else to practice anyway, Gao Sheng will naturally start cultivating.

Next, I returned to my daily life of cultivation.

Gao Sheng wasn't originally someone who could endure hardship in cultivation, but now that he has the system and carries the hopes of his family, he has gained some motivation.

……

During this time, Gao Sheng has also gradually come to appreciate the joy of cultivation.

It's not surprising. Gao Sheng is now exceptionally talented, and with the added boost of his comprehension domain, his cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.

Just like for a poor student, studying is too difficult and a complete torture, so there is no fun in it.

However, many top students are able to immerse themselves in it.

During his time at the Gaosheng Temple, he practiced in real-world settings, primarily engaging in real-world combat with other people.

Some of the time is spent practicing in a virtual universe killing space.

There's also the virtual space within one's own castle, where one battles against those star-level beings. Both sides are at the apprentice level, rendering any concept or domain ineffective; it all comes down to exerting force and combat skills.

After mastering combat skills, one must also cultivate soul techniques and genetic energy.

He was so busy that Gao Sheng didn't let Sasha and Ina accompany him at the same time, and instead they took turns.

……

More than ten days passed quickly. Inside the main training room of Dream Shell Castle,

A crescent moon hovered and danced in the sky.

Whoosh! Suddenly, the crescent moon scattered into 72 pieces of silver light, which then quickly reformed into the shape of two flying knives, their trajectories becoming even more unpredictable.

"Alright!" Gao Sheng sheathed his weapon and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

"This second form can finally be used to fight enemies. Although it is not yet fully mastered, it is not far off."

"As for the first stage, shouldn't this be considered a near-complete mastery?"

He was secretly pleased with his promotion.

Telekinetic weapons aren't something you can just assemble and throw straight at people. There are many techniques and intricacies involved in using them, and they require not only telekinetic amplitude but also control.

After this period of intensive study, Gao Sheng's combat skills improved by leaps and bounds. Although his psychic power amplitude did not increase further, his combat strength was vastly different from when he first arrived on Qiulong Star.

Even his close combat skills, which he only practiced for a short time each day, have improved by leaps and bounds, with his power now reaching 15 times the normal level. This is clearly because he hadn't put much effort into martial arts training before, leaving him with more room for improvement.
