Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 242 The Shock of the Nine Swords Venerable

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

A purple-scaled man dressed in a blue battle robe stood on a rock several miles in circumference halfway up the mountain of Thunder Island, with a large number of electric snakes constantly flowing in front of him.

Suddenly, a figure shot over from a distance and landed on the huge rock. It was Yang Wu, dressed in dark gold battle armor.

"Teacher!" Yang Wu stepped forward and called out respectfully.

The purple-scaled man in the cyan battle robe turned his head and looked over; it was none other than the Nine Swords Venerable.

"Yang Wu, come here!" The Nine Swords Venerable glanced at Yang Wu and said with a smile.

"yes!"

Yang Wu walked to the side of the Nine Swords Venerable with slight doubt, naturally falling behind by one step.

The Nine Swords Venerable continued, "Stand next to me and look down!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu immediately stepped forward and stood alongside the Nine Swords Venerable, while looking down at the scene below.

Below, a misty air current swirled, and palaces could be faintly seen.

"Those dwelling below are all the immortal gods of my Virtual Universe Company!"

Looking down, the Nine Swords Venerable sighed, "Those countless palaces represent countless immortals. Some of them possess only the strength of a military lord, some the strength of a marquis, and a very few are even kings among the immortals!"

"As for this mountainside where we are, it is a cosmic venerable being just like your master!"

Then, the Nine Swords Venerable looked up at the mountaintop and said with a hint of longing, "As for the mountaintop, those who reside there are the true pillars of our human race. Each of them can traverse this vast universe!"

Yang Wu nodded, but he still didn't know why the Nine Swords Venerable had told him these things.

Although Yang Wu's comprehension of the laws is not bad, on the surface he is only at the level of the ninth level of the Tongtian Bridge. As for his realm, he is only at the cosmic level.

There's absolutely no need for the Nine Swords Venerable to tell him all this now.

"If you cultivate diligently, becoming an immortal will be a piece of cake!" the Nine Swords Venerable exclaimed. "Even if you eventually reach this mountainside, there's still a great chance!"

Yang Wu remained silent.

The Nine Swords Venerable's expression suddenly turned serious: "But all of this depends on your continuous efforts! If you choose to waste your time and squander your talent, then no matter how talented you are, you will be surpassed one by one by your peers. In the end, only your enemies and alien races will be happy!"

"This..." Yang Wu was completely bewildered after hearing the Nine Swords Venerable's reprimand.

He had no idea what had happened!

"The land of gentle pleasures is the graveyard of heroes! Since the birth of the universe, countless geniuses have fallen prey to lust throughout endless ages! Many masters of the soul in the universe are extremely skilled in illusions centered on lust!"

The Nine Swords Venerable's voice gradually softened: "You are still very young, and you have plenty of time to do what you want. But at the cosmic level, it is also a time for you to strive to improve yourself."

"I know you and that genius 'Qianshui' from Planet Augustus have a lot of mutual affection, but you can't indulge yourself too much!"

"Since you took on the mission to the Blood Luo World, you haven't come out for over thirty years and have stayed there ever since."

"Thirty years!"

"You haven't crossed the Heavenly Bridge again, nor have you ventured into the Illusionary Sea!" The Nine Swords Venerable's voice grew slightly agitated. "All these years, you've been staying with Qian Shui in the ancient god ruins of the Blood Luo World. To be honest, your teacher is very disappointed in you!"

"teacher!"

Yang Wu bowed respectfully and said, "This time, it was my fault!"

Yang Wu's respect for the Nine Swords Venerable is now no less than that for the Golden Light Marquis.

Although Yang Wu spent less time with the Nine Swords Venerable than with the Golden Light Marquis, the Nine Swords Venerable showed him immense care and concern, both through numerous guidance sessions in reality and experiences in the simulator.

Even the scene before us was summoned by the Nine Swords Venerable because he was worried that Yang Wu would go astray.

Yang Wu could clearly sense the Nine Swords Venerable's concern for him, and immediately replied respectfully, "This disciple has been staying in the Blood Luo World in order to use the baleful energy to transform my body and thus fuse with the Blood Luo Crystal!"

"Fusing Blood Crystals?" The Nine Swords Venerable frowned slightly. "You once used a Domain Lord-level bloodline potion, and with your astonishing willpower, fusing three Blood Crystals shouldn't have taken this long!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied respectfully, "This disciple has already become a Blood Warrior, and my current stay on the Blood Luo Continent is to become a Black Warrior!"

"A Black Warrior?" The Nine Swords Venerable was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Yang Wu, do you know that my human genes are not compatible with those Blood Crystals? Fusing three to become a Blood Warrior is relatively simple, but becoming a Black Warrior is simply impossible! Even in a billion epochs, not one would appear. This is far more difficult than traversing the Heavenly Mountain!"

"This disciple will certainly strive to do his best!" Yang Wu said respectfully.

When the Nine Swords Venerable saw Yang Wu's appearance, he was instantly stunned.

Is that what he meant?

Black warriors are extremely rare among humans. Once someone becomes a black warrior, their genes have a very high chance of being upgraded to a hundred times that of ordinary life forms, and they also receive many other benefits.

Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult for humans to become Dark Warriors!

What the Nine Swords Venerable said earlier was to persuade Yang Wu to give up.

Therefore, the Nine Swords Venerable continued to persuade him, "Becoming a Black Warrior is far too difficult. If your talent is insufficient, it's best to give up! How far are you from fusing the fourth Blood Crystal? Let me see your talent in this area."

"It's alright!" Yang Wu said respectfully, "This disciple has successfully fused with the ninth Blood Crystal!"

Although Yang Wu seemed somewhat indifferent, he was secretly looking forward to the commotion this news would cause.

After all, Yang Wu had only fused the fourth Blood Crystal in the simulator at this time, yet he was praised by the Nine Swords Venerable. What about the other nine?

Perhaps Yang Wu will be able to use this opportunity to gain the ability to create clones.

Yang Wu never intended to conceal his progress in fusing Blood Luo Crystals. After all, unlike comprehending the laws, as soon as Yang Wu activated the power of Blood Luo, people would quickly discover the number of Blood Luo Crystals he had fused.

"The fourth one has already fused? Not bad, no..."

The Nine Swords Venerable's words abruptly stopped, and he immediately pressed Yang Wu for an answer: "You just said you've fused with several Blood Crystals?"

"Disciple has fused nine Blood Crystals!" Yang Wu said respectfully again.

"Nine? Nine!" The Nine Swords Venerable was utterly shocked.

Even before Yang Wu left Chaos City, when he passed the ninth level of the Bridge to Heaven, the Nine Swords Venerable was only pleased. But now, he was extremely shocked.

The difficulty of fusing Blood Crystals increases with each one!

Yang Wu, however, successfully fused nine of them at once...
