Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

Deep within the Purple Palace Secret Realm, on a gigantic continent whose boundaries are invisible to the naked eye, shimmering light flows as if it were a tangible substance.

Before a colossal hall carved entirely from amethyst rock, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and the figures of Zhou Yuan, the King of Zichen Kingdom, and the immortal god from another race materialized out of thin air.

The moment Zhou Yuan landed, he keenly sensed the dense primal energy permeating the air—the concentration of cosmic primal energy here was at least three times that of the Cloud Rock Secret Realm. With each breath, wisps of primal energy seeped into his body through his pores, causing his own primal force to tremble slightly involuntarily.

"The primordial energy here is so dense, much denser than in the Cloud Rock Secret Realm," Zhou Yuan thought to himself in surprise. His gaze swept across the main hall, which was covered with secret patterns. Looking at it, Zhou Yuan felt as if his soul was being gently pulled. Even the dissipated aura made him feel uncomfortable.

With a flick of his finger, the immortal god from the alien race transformed into a stream of light and was once again stored in his world ring. He turned around and looked at Zhou Yuan with astonishment in his eyes.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "The Purple Chen Secret Realm is the core secret realm of the Purple Chen Universe Kingdom. The continent with the most concentrated source power in the entire secret realm is this Purple Chen Continent. You will spend the next period of time cultivating on this Purple Chen Continent. However, you cannot directly break through to the Domain Lord level."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the main hall, with Zhou Yuan quickly following. The moment they stepped into the hall, a vast and majestic aura rushed towards them. On the pillars on both sides of the hall, there were countless battle reliefs carved with ancient powerhouses, each containing exquisite laws and patterns, which made Zhou Yuan stare at them intently.

Reaching the center of the main hall, the King of Zichen Kingdom suddenly turned around, his previously gentle gaze turning serious: "Zhou Yuan, I observe that you possess extraordinary talent, your comprehension of the laws far surpasses your peers, and your willpower is unwavering. You are a rare cultivation prodigy. Today, I intend to accept you as my personal disciple. What do you say?"

Zhou Yuan was suddenly stunned, as if he hadn't reacted yet. He knew that the King of Zichen Kingdom was a high-level Venerable, a high-ranking figure among the human race. For such a person, let alone taking on a personal disciple, even guiding an ordinary immortal powerhouse would be an immense opportunity.

In the past, the winners of the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle would at most receive rewards and resource allocation from the king. Even someone as powerful as Bolan in the original work did not have a Venerable One take him as a disciple.

Although Zhou Yuan was far more confident than Bo Lan, he was still very shocked to be suddenly accepted as a disciple by the King of Zi Chen Kingdom.

After a moment's thought, although it differed somewhat from his previous plan, Zhou Yuan still knelt down without hesitation and respectfully kowtowed to the King of Zichen Kingdom: "Disciple Zhou Yuan is willing to become a disciple of Master!" As he spoke, he solemnly kowtowed three times, his movements steady and without the slightest perfunctoriness.

The King of Zichen nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward to help Zhou Yuan up, and softened his tone: "Get up. You don't need to be so polite in front of me in the future. A martial artist should have pride and not be bound by empty formalities."

After Zhou Yuan stood up, the King of Zichen continued, "You are my seventh personal disciple, with six senior brothers and sisters above you. Five of them are still alive today. Your second senior brother died in battle in the outer realms a million years ago, but he has already been granted the title of King Immortal, and the clan will resurrect him in the future."

He paused, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "Your eldest senior brother, fourth senior sister, fifth senior brother, and sixth senior brother are all now King-level Immortal Powerhouses. Your eldest senior brother and fourth senior sister are currently cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City, while your fifth and sixth senior brothers work for the Virtual Universe Company. As for your third senior brother, he is the most talented among all my disciples. He has now broken through to the Universe Venerable realm and is currently overseeing the Fifth Domain Outer Battlefield."

"I will pass on the news of accepting you as my disciple to them later. When I have time, I will ask them to gather together in the virtual universe. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation or practice in the future, you can also ask them for advice. During the upcoming preparation period for the Battle of the Strongest, you will cultivate in this Purple Chen Secret Realm. If you have any questions, you can come to the main hall to find me at any time, or you can ask me for advice in the virtual universe."

Zhou Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and quickly bowed, replying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master! This disciple does indeed have many questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you for guidance."

Since embarking on his cultivation path, he has always explored on his own, progressing from the Hengxing level to the Universe level without ever receiving guidance from a powerful figure. Whether it's a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of earth or breaking through the bottlenecks of the laws of space, he has accumulated a host of questions. Now, having become a disciple of the Zichen Kingdom Lord, he finally has someone to consult.

Over the next three days, Zhou Yuan raised questions about his understanding of laws, cultivation of secret techniques, and combat skills one by one, and the King of Zichen patiently answered them one by one.

From the balance between "weight" and "condensation" in the fundamental law of earth, to the core differences between the two different branches of "blockade" and "teleportation" in the law of space... the answers to each question were like the sun breaking through the clouds, giving Zhou Yuan a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The ruler of Zichen Kingdom is a high-level Venerable, and a Venerable who has mastered the laws of space, so he is naturally very skilled in the laws of space.

Moreover, he happened to be an immortal being who became immortal through the fundamental law of earth, so Zhou Yuan's problem could easily be solved by the Lord of Zichen Kingdom.

After Zhou Yuan received his guidance, he instantly understood the key to many seemingly complicated problems.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When Zhou Yuan finished asking his last question, he felt completely refreshed. All the doubts he had accumulated earlier had vanished, and his understanding of the laws had been elevated to a new level.

"Alright, now you can take some time to digest what I've told you. Focus on comprehending the fundamental laws of space, and leave the fundamental laws of earth to fate. I'll give you a secret technique, the Purple Chen Secret Scripture, which I created myself. You can receive it directly in the virtual universe. I've arranged a secluded cultivation location for you. Now you may leave." The Purple Chen Kingdom Lord waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yuan to leave.

"Disciple will respectfully follow Master's teachings!" Zhou Yuan bowed respectfully, then turned and left the main hall.

An immortal servant dressed in silver armor was already waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing Zhou Yuan emerge, he quickly stepped forward to lead the way: "Your Highness Zhou Yuan, please follow me."

……

While Zhou Yuan was diligently seeking knowledge in the Zichen Secret Realm, discussions about him had already exploded in the outside world.

As the most outstanding contestant in the first stage of the Zichen Universe Kingdom's elimination rounds, Zhou Yuan's record of crushing all other contestants with his own strength instantly attracted the attention of the entire Universe Kingdom.

Countless forces began frantically searching for his whereabouts. Various immortal families, cosmic mercenary groups, and even some alien forces all wanted to win over or eliminate this young man with unlimited potential.

However, Zhou Yuan had just finished the competition and followed the King of Zichen Kingdom to the Zichen Secret Realm. He did not receive any information from the outside world, so naturally no one could find him.

However, discussions about Zhou Yuan did not cease. Not only in the Zi Chen Universe Kingdom, but also in other universe kingdoms.

The more mysterious he became, the more attention he attracted from the outside world. His achievements were repeatedly reported by major media outlets, and the nickname "Knife God Zhou Yuan" spread to every corner of the Zi Chen Universe Kingdom. Even the other 1007 universe kingdoms began to pay attention to this genius who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
