Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 298 The Nine Swords Master's Actions

After breaking through to the World Lord level, Yang Wu briefly experienced the wonder of the world's power, then connected his consciousness to the virtual universe, preparing to test his strength in the training ground.

When Yang Wu connected to the virtual universe network through the intelligent life form Crimson Flame, the 'Virtual Universe Network Receiver' immediately sensed that he had broken through to the Realm Lord level.

Therefore, the virtual universe upgraded Yang Wu's identity and authority from "Domain Lord-level Original Secret Realm Member" to "World Lord-level Original Secret Realm Member".

The list of core members of the original secret realm within the Virtual Universe Company is not classified at a very high level.

Therefore, when Yang Wu's status was elevated and the list was changed, many immortal gods and super beings became aware of it.

"His Highness Yang Wu has already broken through to the Realm Lord level?"

"My God, how long has it been since the Battle of the Universe's Top Geniuses? His Highness Yang Wu has already broken through?"

"Normally, core members of the Primal Secret Realm would stay at the Universe-level stage for thousands of years and at the Domain Lord-level stage for tens of thousands of years. His Highness Yang Wu broke through to the Domain Lord-level before the Universe-level qualification battle, and before this Domain Lord-level qualification battle even started, he broke through to the World Lord-level. It's truly terrifying!"

"But why did Prince Yang Wu break through so quickly? Does he not plan to challenge the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, a Domain Lord level challenge? That's 3 billion points!"

"Indeed, given Prince Yang Wu's cultivation speed, if he stays at the Domain Lord level for several thousand years, he should have a chance to conquer the Primordial Heavenly Mountain, which is at the Domain Lord level, right?"

"What do you know? The cultivation speed of a World Lord is far greater than that of a Domain Lord. After His Highness Yang Wu breaks through to the World Lord level, his cultivation speed will definitely be even more astonishing. Moreover, a genius like His Highness Yang Wu will definitely be able to conquer the World Lord level Primordial Heavenly Mountain in the future. That's worth 100 billion points. What are the 3 billion points reward of the Domain Lord level Primordial Heavenly Mountain compared to that?"

"One hundred billion points, that's one hundred billion Chaos Units... My wealth accumulated over countless years is now only worth a little over one hundred million Chaos Units!"

Although Yang Wu has only been cultivating for a few hundred years, he is extremely famous among the human race and has always attracted a lot of attention.

Therefore, news of his breakthrough to the realm master level spread like wildfire in a very short time, and countless familiar immortal gods gathered together to discuss it.

……

On one of the hillsides of Thunder Island, a waterfall cascades down like a river, crashing into the vast lake below.

In the middle of the lake is a small island with a diameter of several kilometers, where dozens of figures are talking.

"Yang Wu's cultivation speed is really too fast! Maybe in another 100,000 years, he will be able to stand with us!" A stunningly beautiful woman wearing a purple robe exclaimed with a smile.

Halfway up the mountain is the circle of cosmic venerables within the Virtual Universe Company. These people, as powerful beings, are constantly contributing to the human race, so they naturally have a sense of superiority and aloofness towards the 'immortal gods'.

But now, these people dare not underestimate Yang Wu, a young man who has just broken through to the Realm Lord level.

"Indeed!" another burly man with six arms exclaimed in equal amazement, "I'm afraid it won't be long before another new cosmic overlord emerges from my Virtual Universe Company lineage! Perhaps, he will become the fifth cosmic lord of my Virtual Universe Company lineage!"

"Lord of the Universe? That's going too far! There are so many cosmic overlords among our human race, yet who has actually become the Lord of the Universe? Even the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was stuck at the very last step, wasn't he?"

"Indeed, becoming the master of the universe isn't something that can be achieved simply through talent!"

"Difficult! Among our human race, there are thousands of Universe Venerables, but how many are Universe Lords?"

It seems that the words "Lord of the Universe" touched a nerve with the surrounding cosmic venerables, who all objected.

However, amidst this outcry, there was one voice of agreement.

"That's not necessarily true!" A handsome man with six pairs of wings said, holding a wine cup. "Yang Wu's talent is indeed extraordinary. I remember when the Lord of Youhou rose to power, his cultivation speed at the Domain Lord level was somewhat slower than Yang Wu's!"

"The Lord of Youhou?" Many cosmic venerables changed color.

Lord Youhou is the most recent universe lord to break through in the lineage of the Virtual Universe Company. Although it is said to be the most recent breakthrough, hundreds of millions of epochs have already passed.

When Lord Youhou was at the Universe level, Domain Lord level, and Realm Lord level, he passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain and eventually became the supreme Universe Lord.

"Look, the Nine Swords are coming!"

"It's the Nine Swords."

"Nine Swords is really lucky this time. He got a huge advantage in this year's Genius Battle!" Dozens of Universe Venerables looked up and immediately saw Nine Swords Venerable, dressed in a blue battle robe, flying over as a streak of light.

Thunder Island is a gathering place for the strong.

However, even among the strong, friendships are based on levels, and the same applies to those who are universal masters.

As a high-level cosmic venerable, the Nine Swords Venerable had a relatively short cultivation period, and thus made many friends among cosmic venerables.

"Nine Swords, come, sit down!"

"Nine Swords, weren't you exploring the secret realm with Kander, Azure Dragon, and the others? What brings you here?"

"You're not here to brag about taking on a great disciple, are you?"

These cosmic venerables were all quite enthusiastic.

The Nine Swords Venerable was already quite powerful and well-liked, and now with a disciple like Yang Wu who has great potential, he is naturally even more popular.

"Hahaha! I just happened to be lucky enough to host this year's Genius Battle!"

The Nine Swords Venerable smiled as he walked towards the crowd, then looked at a burly man in black armor, about eight meters tall with extremely thick arms, and said, "I'm here to see Lei Ming!"

"Looking for me?" asked the burly man in black armor, Venerable Thunder.

"Haha..." The handsome Bloodwing Venerable, with six pairs of wings, laughed and said, "'Blacksmith,' I heard that when Yang Wu first arrived in Chaos City, you and Nine Swords appeared together to take on disciples?"

"So what?" Thunder Venerable glared, then turned to Nine Swords Venerable and said, "Nine Swords, what do you want with me?"

Among the many cosmic venerables present, Venerable Thunder and Venerable Bloodwing were the most powerful.

Because of their similar strength, the two developed some friendship and often joked with each other.

"Let's go to your palace to talk!" Nine Swords Venerable said to Thunder Venerable with a smile.

"Oh?" Venerable Thunderclap immediately showed a hint of interest.

"Everyone, I'll be right back!" Thunder Venerable drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and then left with Nine Swords Venerable.

……

Inside the temple of the Thunder God.

The figures of Nine Swords Venerable and Thunder Venerable suddenly appeared.

"Nine Swords, speak, what do you want from me?" Venerable Thunder asked with a smile.

Although he failed to take on a disciple back then, it was Yang Wu's own choice after all, and Thunder Venerable did not feel dissatisfied with Nine Swords Venerable because of it.

"I want to forge two great treasures!" the Nine Swords Venerable said with a smile.

"Oh? It seems you've reaped quite a harvest in the secret realm this time!" Venerable Lei Ming said with a smile. "Are you planning to forge a domain-type treasure? With your current strength, if you could have a domain-type treasure to complement your abilities, your power would likely increase significantly!"

"Where would I get so much wealth?" The Nine Swords Venerable said with a wry smile, "I just traded a top-tier treasure armor from you 100,000 years ago, where would I get the money to forge a domain-level treasure?"

"This is for my disciple. A powerful spear and a suit of armor will suffice, but both must be fire-attribute!"

"Prepared for that brat Yang Wu?" Venerable Lei Ming exclaimed in surprise, "Nine Swords, you're really generous!"

These two treasures were nothing in the eyes of Venerable Thunderclap, but that was because he was a rare weapon refiner with countless years of experience.

However, for a Cosmic Venerable like Nine Swords Venerable who has only recently broken through to the next level, two ordinary treasures are already a great fortune.

"Yang Wu's talent is so amazing, as his teacher, I should naturally prepare a gift for him!" Nine Swords Venerable exclaimed.

In fact, the Nine Swords Venerable originally intended to prepare a top-tier treasure weapon for Yang Wu after this secret realm adventure.

After all, when Yang Wu became Lei Ming's disciple, he refused Lei Ming's promise of treasures.

However, Yang Wu's cultivation speed was simply too fast!

Only a few hundred years had passed, and he had just finished exploring a small part of the secret realm with Kandri and Azure Dragon Venerable when Yang Wu had already crossed the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which was at the Domain Lord level.

Left with no other choice, the Nine Swords Venerable could only forge two ordinary treasures.

"Fortunately, Yang Wu isn't far from the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge!" the Nine Swords Venerable thought to himself. "Once he reaches the King-level comprehension, I imagine our teacher will bestow upon him even more precious treasures!"

"Nine Swords!" Venerable Thunder exclaimed, "Many people are saying that you, Nine Swords, were incredibly lucky to have taken Yang Wu as your disciple!"

"But what I want to say now is that Yang Wu is extremely fortunate to be able to become your disciple!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable laughed even more heartily: "Lei Ming, don't say that. If Yang Wu had been able to become your disciple back then, the gift you gave him would probably have been far more precious than mine!"

"That's different!" Venerable Thunder shook his head. "Fine, this time I'll let you pay in Primordial Units!"

"Really?" The Nine Swords Venerable's face lit up with joy.

For the cosmic venerables, most of the treasures that can be purchased with points and mixed units are no longer of much use to them. Therefore, their transactions are mostly conducted using the clan's treasure points, supreme treasure points, or barter.

Lei Ming Venerable's ability to get Jiu Jian Venerable to pay using Hunyuan units was indeed a great advantage for him.

After all, within the clan, Treasure Points can be exchanged for Points and Primal Units, but Primal Units and Points cannot be exchanged for Treasure Points.

"Hmm!" Venerable Thunder nodded and said, "The Treasure Spear costs 0.8 Treasure Points, and the Armor costs 3.2 Treasure Points. You only need to pay me 40 trillion Chaos Units in total!"

"This..." Nine Swords Venerable was stunned for a moment.

It's true that within the clan, one Treasure Point can be exchanged for ten trillion Mixed Units, but with Venerable Leiming, it's generally twelve trillion Mixed Units that are needed to exchange for one Treasure Point.

Even when many of Lei Ming's friends asked him to forge powerful treasures, they could only pay in Hunyuan units at most, but the ratio would not be reduced.

Seeing that Nine Swords Venerable hesitated, Thunder Venerable smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if it's forty trillion Chaos Units, I'll still make a profit, as long as you don't tell anyone!"

"Then thank you very much, Lei Ming!" Nine Swords Venerable said gratefully.

After exchanging his top-tier treasure armor for the top-tier treasure armor, Nine Swords Venerable indeed had very few resources left, so he did not refuse again.

"I do have a fire-attribute treasure armor here, but I don't have a treasure spear!" Venerable Thunderclap said with a smile. "Here's what we'll do: wait for me for ten years, and then come to Chaos City to retrieve the treasure!"

"Alright!" Nine Swords Venerable replied hastily.

……

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

Inside the study of Yang Wu Manor in the primitive area.

Yang Wu, who knew nothing about what the Nine Swords Venerable had done, gently tapped the virtual screen in front of him and began to apply for a nutrient capsule used by a Realm Lord.

drop!

"Your Highness Yang Wu, are you requesting that the nutrient capsule be sent to Chaos City?" A beautiful, blue-haired woman in a white robe asked respectfully on the screen, her voice clear and melodious.

"Yes," Yang Wu nodded and said, "Send the nutrient tank over as soon as possible."

Different positions mean different levels of authority.

If it were an ordinary Primal Secret Realm Master-level member, it wouldn't be so easy to discuss something like sending a nutrient capsule, let alone personally delivering it to Chaos City.

But for a genius like Yang Wu, it's a completely different story. Let alone sending them to Chaos City, these staff members would deliver them directly even to the outer battlefields.

"Yes!" the blue-haired woman replied respectfully.

Yang Wu immediately hung up the communication request.

……

In Chaos City, at Yang Wu's cultivation residence.

Inside the lounge.

"The staff at Virtual Universe Company are quite efficient; they delivered this nutrient solution to me in just half a day!"

Yang Wu looked at the enormous, ancient-style nutrient tank in front of him and sighed.

"Master, you are now the most outstanding genius among the human race, so the staff will naturally not dare to neglect you!" Chi Yan's voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.

Now, hundreds of years later, after absorbing endless knowledge in the virtual universe through Yang Wu's authority, Chi Yan has truly evolved into an intelligent life form.

If one could obtain a precious Heart of Evolution, then one would be no different from a true mechanical life form.

Whoosh!

The nutrient chamber door opened automatically, and Yang Wu walked directly inside and lay down.

The cold, pale green nutrient solution instantly enveloped Yang Wu's entire body. Streams of vital energy rapidly seeped into his body through his skin. This life-giving energy, after penetrating his cells, continuously evolved Yang Wu's muscles, bones, and internal organs...

Yang Wu's skin became tighter, his bones stronger, his muscle fiber density higher, and his explosive power also became stronger.

Normally, it takes hundreds of thousands of years for a powerful being to evolve from the first level of a Realm Lord to the ninth level. However, with the help of this incredibly precious nutrient solution, Yang Wu was able to complete this evolution in just a few months.
