Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

"Beibei, the spaceship enters the dark universe and heads towards the central asteroid belt, then exits the dark universe and travels at sub-light speed to scan for mineral resources," Zhou Yuan instructed Beibei in his mind.

Having been tempered in the killing field, he clearly understood the importance of resources for cultivation; only by obtaining sufficient resources could he quickly improve his strength.

"Target: Central asteroid belt, coordinates random, proceed!" Beibei responded immediately, controlling the spaceship to change direction and selecting a sufficiently open space to activate acceleration.

As the spaceship accelerated until it reached the speed of light, it disappeared!

Zhou Yuan felt the spaceship vibrate slightly. After about ten seconds, everything around him went completely dark, and then the spaceship stabilized. This meant that the spaceship had already traveled into the dark universe.

The dark universe is a space parallel to the primordial universe. Here, spaceships can break the speed limit of light and reach an unimaginable and terrifying speed. Moreover, if you travel 1 light-year here, the primordial universe will be 1008.1 million light-years away.

A dozen minutes later, the spaceship exited the dark universe and returned to the original universe, beginning its sub-light-speed cruise.

In the vast asteroid belt, countless meteorites float and collide in space, forming a dangerous yet opportunity-filled region. Beibei controls her spaceship, constantly traversing the meteorite clusters, activating full-power scanning to search for hidden mineral resources.

"Master, a Grade B Xuan Iron Essence Meteorite has been discovered. Should we begin mining?" After cruising for half a month, Bei Bei's voice rang in Zhou Yuan's mind, interrupting him as he was comprehending the fundamental laws of earth.

"Don't mine, Beibei. From now on, don't bother with resources below grade C. They're too low-value and a waste of time," Zhou Yuan replied calmly.

The price of Xuan Tie Jing in the Zi Chen Universe Kingdom is only about 0.005 Zi Chen coins per ton. His spaceship is only a little over a hundred meters long, a few dozen meters wide, and a few dozen meters high, so its cargo capacity is limited.

Even if it's filled to the brim, it'll only be worth tens of thousands of Purple Coins, not worth the time and effort to dig for. It would be worthwhile if we could find the Primordial Iron Mother.

"Yes, Master, continue cruising," Beibei replied, continuing to steer the spaceship through the asteroid belt.

The task of finding resources was left to Beibei for autonomous navigation and exploration, while Zhou Yuan returned to the core room to continue immersing himself in comprehending the fundamental laws of earth.

Zhou Yuan decided to first comprehend the fundamental law of earth to the level of law recognition, and then turn to comprehend the fundamental law of space.

Currently, he has the deepest understanding of the fundamental law of earth, which is the easiest for him to comprehend; the fundamental law of fire is next, and the fundamental law of space is the most difficult.

However, the fundamental laws of fire and earth are both subordinate laws of the fundamental laws of space, so their priority is naturally not as high as that of the fundamental laws of space.

Inside the core chamber, Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform, his consciousness sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness, sensing the fluctuations of the fundamental earth law permeating the world. His consciousness, like a sponge, continuously absorbed the essence of the fundamental earth law, and his understanding of it deepened day by day.

Six months passed in this way, and Zhou Yuan made significant progress in the fundamental law of earth. He could clearly feel that his strength was also constantly improving as his understanding of the law deepened.

"Master, a cosmic crystal mine has been discovered, with reserves of approximately ten million cubic meters." Just then, Beibei's voice suddenly rang in Zhou Yuan's mind, carrying a hint of barely concealed excitement.

"How much? Ten million cubic meters of cosmic crystals?" Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing shock, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

It's important to know that Cosmic Crystals can be directly broken down into Cosmic Coins. One Cosmic Crystal is worth 1000 Cosmic Coins, which is equivalent to 200 million Zi Chen Coins.

Zhou Yuan's current net worth is only a few billion Zi Chen coins. This ten million cubic meters of cosmic crystals is equivalent to tens of billions of cosmic coins, or twenty trillion Zi Chen coins, which is tens of thousands of times Zhou Yuan's net worth.

"Yes, Master, the initial survey indicates it's around 1000 million cubic meters," Beibei replied confidently.

"Beibei, hurry up and come closer, we're going to dig this one!" Hearing the specific number, Zhou Yuan's heart pounded, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"Yes, Master, we're almost there." Beibei piloted the spaceship and flew over.

As the spaceship drew closer, Zhou Yuan walked from the core room to the cockpit. Bei Bei had already activated the panoramic simulation system, clearly projecting the outside scenery into the cockpit.

A massive meteorite, nearly 300 meters in diameter, was displayed in front of the projection. Most of the meteorite was covered by ordinary rocks, with a small portion of deep blue cosmic crystals exposed, emitting a faint glow, like stars in the night sky, full of allure.

The spaceship slowly approached the meteorite, and Zhou Yuan immediately flew out of the hatch and landed on the meteorite. He lightly stomped his feet, and his earth-elemental domain instantly unfolded, like an invisible dome that enveloped the entire meteorite.

"Rise!" Zhou Yuan shouted, controlling his domain to peel away the outer layer of rock. Huge chunks of rock were lifted up as if by an invisible hand and flew towards the distant starry sky, revealing the dense, deep blue cosmic crystals inside.

"Beibei, check the exact number of cosmic crystals," Zhou Yuan instructed, his eyes fixed on the cosmic crystals before him, his face filled with joy.

"Master, the total amount of cosmic crystals is 106.513 cubic meters, worth 1065.13 billion cosmic coins. Master, we've struck it rich! Even the poorest realm lords only have this much wealth." Beibei replied happily.

Zhou Yuan nodded, his heart filled with excitement. He manipulated the primal force through his domain and began to break down the cosmic crystal. Piece by piece, the cosmic crystal was stored in Zhou Yuan's spatial ring, which soon became full.

At this moment, Beibei suddenly issued a warning: "Master, a spaceship has been spotted 100 million kilometers to the left rear. It has just emerged from the dark universe."

Zhou Yuan looked in the direction Bei Bei had warned him to, but unfortunately there were many meteorites in the asteroid belt and the other party's spaceship was too small to see clearly.

"Beibei, send a plaintext message. This resource has been occupied. Please stay away." Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and had Beibei send the message, hoping that the other party would follow the default rules of the universe and stay away from him to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Although the Starshatter Belt is a new secret realm, it has actually existed for almost an epoch according to cosmic time.

Since all cultivators here belong to the human race, in order to avoid too much unnecessary fighting, generally, when one side discovers a resource and sends out a message to occupy it, if the strength difference is not large and the resource is ordinary, the other side will choose to stay away.

However, the quantity of cosmic crystals this time was simply too enormous, and Zhou Yuan anticipated that things wouldn't end so easily.

Without hesitation, he drew his Earth-Splitting Blade, gripped it tightly, and his inner Force began to surge slowly, ready for battle at any moment. Simultaneously, he flew directly in the direction Beibei had indicated, aiming to gain a favorable position.

While flying, Zhou Yuan mentally instructed Bei Bei: "Bei Bei, steer the spaceship behind the cosmic meteorite and hide it. Don't let the spaceship get damaged." The spaceship was his vital means of survival in space, and absolutely no mishaps were allowed.
