Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 299 Preparations, the Faith of the Primal Secret Realm Master

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, primitive zone.

In the quiet study of Yangwu Manor.

At this moment, a phantom screen was displayed in front of Yang Wu, showing a figure surrounded by wisps of mist.

The other party said in a low voice, "Yang Wu, a member of the Primal Secret Realm Master level, you have conquered the Primal Tongtian Mountain, which is at the Universe level and Domain Lord level. Therefore, the Virtual Universe Company will reward you with 31 billion points. You need to use these 31 billion points to strengthen your strength. Only in this way can you have a greater chance of survival in the upcoming Realm Lord level life-and-death trial."

The Realm Lord level is an extremely important stage on the path of cultivation for powerful individuals, so the Virtual Universe Company provides incredibly generous rewards to its core Realm Lord level members.

Among these rewards, the one for "conquering the Primal Tongtian Mountain" is the most amazing.

Among them, passing through the primordial Tongtian Mountain, a universe-level peak, will directly reward one hundred million points upon becoming a realm lord.

By passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level, one will be directly rewarded with 3 billion points upon becoming a Realm Lord.

Passing through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level event, will directly reward you with 100 billion points.

Yang Wu had previously conquered two original Heavenly Mountains, one at the Universe level and the other at the Domain Lord level. Now that he had broken through to the Realm Lord level, he naturally received a reward of 31 billion points.

"I understand," Yang Wu nodded respectfully as he stood in front of the screen.

The figure paused, a slight fluctuation in his voice: "I wish you success in your upcoming life-or-death trials and become a new super-strong individual among the human race."

After the other party finished speaking, they hung up the call immediately.

"With this influx of points, my finances will be a little more comfortable from now on!" Yang Wu grinned, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Although Yang Wu obtained the incredibly valuable Locke Divine Water from the slave trader Pansy, his own expenses in recent years have also been astonishing.

In the more than ten years since Yang Wu came to Chaos City, more than thirty years have passed in the Primordial Universe. Yang Wu's Yan God Clan clone left in the Primordial Universe has been studying at five times the speed of time flow in the Time Palace, consuming about one billion points of resources in total.

However, Yang Wu used the Time Palace at fifty times the time flow rate during his three attempts to comprehend the Chaos Stele, consuming a full 1.5 billion points in just a few dozen days.

In addition to Yang Wu's expenses over the years, the 66 billion points he obtained from selling the Locke Divine Water have dwindled to only 4 billion.

Although there are still many, just purchasing the treasures that help metal life forms break through to the Immortal level, as well as high-level detectors, is already a stretch, not to mention continuing to maintain the consumption of the Time Palace.

Soon, Chi Yan's voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Master, 31 billion points have been credited to your account!"

Yang Wu sat at his desk, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "31 billion points won't take me long. Only if I can break through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level can I maintain it for a while."

However, Yang Wu knew very well that he would have a hard time getting past the twentieth level of the Sky Bridge before heading to the outer battlefield.

After all, if over 100,000 years of cultivation could really allow the Seven Sword King to pass through the Primordial Heavenly Mountain at the World Lord level, he wouldn't need to break through to the Immortal level so quickly.

Therefore, it is clear that the Tongtian Mountain, a realm master level, must be an extremely difficult barrier to overcome.

"Master, what you said is so infuriating!"

Chi Yan's voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind: "31 billion points, that's comparable to the entire fortune of a King-level expert. Other Realm Lord-level members within the Virtual Universe Company wouldn't even dare to dream of it, yet you haven't even set your sights on it!"

"Actually, Master, your large expenditures are mainly due to the purchase of numerous treasures for your future life-and-death adventures at the Time Palace. With your current wealth, that's more than enough!"

For members of the Primordial Secret Realm at the Realm Lord level, although they are richer than most Marquis-level Immortal Gods, it is simply impossible for them to obtain 31 billion points of wealth at the Realm Lord level.

After all, even if you win first place in the first qualifying round, the Virtual Universe Company's top management will only reward you with one billion points.

Moreover, most of the time, those newly breakthrough geniuses are lucky if they can even stay in the Primal Secret Realm during their cultivation period. First, it's something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"The operation of the Time Palace must not be stopped, and if there is an opportunity, it should be operated at an even higher time flow rate!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

He has now broken through to the realm master level. With a simulation time interval of more than 700 years, if he does not use the Time Palace, he can only simulate a few times when Earth is exposed.

"Forget about that for now!" Yang Wu shook his head and said, "Operating the Time Palace at a higher time flow rate is still a long way off for me. The most important thing now is to prepare the many treasures for our future trip to the extraterrestrial battlefield."

Now that Yang Wu has broken through to the Realm Lord level, going to the extraterrestrial battlefield is not far away.

Whether it's a mission for the Virtual Universe Company or gathering more wealth to operate the Time Palace, the extraterrestrial battlefield is an experience he cannot avoid.

but……

Yang Wu also harbored a sliver of anticipation for the battlefield beyond the region.

If Luo Feng, as a Realm Lord, was able to earn the title of Invincible King in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, what about Yang Wu?

Of course, one must always take things one step at a time.

Soon, Yang Wu, sitting at his desk, clicked on the screen in front of him, which displayed countless treasures in the company's vault.

"Red Flame, find me all the resources needed for the auxiliary metal life form Kash to break through to immortality!" Yang Wu ordered directly.

Soon, the screen in front of Yang Wu displayed various precious treasures that would help the metal life form Kash evolve to the Immortal level.

At the same time, Chi Yan's introduction echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Master, you have now nurtured three Kashgar metal life forms."

"Among them, the weakest one has a 60% chance of breaking through to immortality. Once he breaks through, he will have the power of the peak of the Marquis title. The plan will cost 24.7 billion points."

"The remaining two are very difficult to cultivate with your current wealth. One is a plan with a 40% chance of breaking through to the advanced King level, requiring 173 billion points; the other is a plan with a 30% chance of breaking through to the peak King level, requiring 1236 billion points!"

"Alright," Yang Wu said with a smile, "Then I'll cultivate a Kashgar metal life form at the peak of the Marquis level. The power of a peak Marquis level life form will be enough for my Earthling self. Chi Yan, place the order for me!"

At the beginning, influenced by the original work, Yang Wu performed the most perfect evolution on the auxiliary life forms on his body.

However, Yang Wu later considered that the more perfectly evolved the auxiliary life form would be, the more resources it would consume when breaking through to immortality, so he purchased two more Kashgar metal life larvae for cultivation.

Now, several hundred years have passed, and the two Kashgar metal lifeforms that were cultivated later have long since evolved to the peak of the realm lord.

"Purchase successful, totaling 24.7 billion points. The materials will be delivered to Chaos City within a month!"

In Yang Wu's mind, Chi Yan exclaimed, "Master, you've spent over two billion points this time! That's enough to bankrupt a powerful immortal god!"

Yang Wu simply smiled slightly.

For Yang Wu's original Earthling self, an immortal-level auxiliary metal life form is indispensable.

Without being possessed by the metal life form, Yang Wu could at most possess the strength of a military lord-level immortal. However, with the assistance of the metal life form, even if he couldn't reach a hundred times the gene strength, he could still unleash combat power close to that of a king.

After purchasing the precious materials needed to help metal life form break through to immortality, Yang Wu began to investigate the relevant information about the detector.

Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that in the perilous battlefield outside the region, a good detector was extremely important, allowing him to both attack and defend.

Immediately, detailed detector data appeared on the screen.

SFRET01-102983: Detection radius of 300 million kilometers, requires 4 million points (discounts range from 50% to 100%, you can get a 40% discount). Click here for details.

……

SDU01-000001 type: Detection radius of 1 billion kilometers, requires 50 billion points (discounts range from 50% to 100%, you can get a 40% discount). For details, please click here.

……

A111-192039: Detection radius 100 km, requires 1 million points (discounts range from 50% to 100%, you can get a 40% discount). Click here for details.

……

The detectors are mainly divided into two categories.

One type is the ultra-large range, with detection radii typically ranging from 100 million kilometers to 300 million kilometers and 1 billion kilometers. The high-end models, on the other hand, only come in 300 million and 1 billion kilometers ranges.

Another type is ultra-small range detection, which generally has three specifications: radius of 10 kilometers, 20 kilometers, and 100 kilometers.

Large detectors are used to detect spacecraft and other objects at long distances, making it easier for users to set up their plans and giving them ample time to prepare for either battle or escape.

Small detectors are better suited for adventures in the secret realms of the universe because their detection range is small, allowing for more advanced exploration.

Ultimately, Yang Wu, who knew the importance of the detector, spent one billion points to purchase a large detector with a detection range of one billion kilometers, and another five hundred million points to purchase a small detector with a detection range of twenty kilometers.

Such a precious detector is something that only a very few powerful beings who have reached the King level can possess, which will give Yang Wu a considerable advantage in his future journey to the extraterritorial battlefield.

In addition, Yang Wu exchanged for many precious materials and treasures in the treasure vault.

Massive amounts of points are being spent!

In the end, Yang Wu only had 28 billion points left, and the rest were all converted into various precious treasures.

Of course, these treasures also made Yang Wu's strength grow stronger and gave him more ways to deal with crises.

"I actually spent so many points!" Yang Wu was surprised when he looked at his remaining points.

Aside from the two major expenses of assisting life to break through to immortality and the detector, he actually spent hundreds of millions of points.

"I can't spend any more points now, otherwise the Time Palace won't have enough resources to last until the next simulation!" Yang Wu thought to himself. "Then, let's just wait for the World Lord-level qualification battle to begin!"

Yang Wu remembered very clearly that the first place in the qualifying battle would receive a reward of one billion points.

With this reward of one billion points, he should be able to persevere for a little longer.

……

Time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, nearly nine years have passed since Yang Wu broke through to the realm master level, and nearly thirty years have passed in the primordial universe.

During this period, Yang Wu stayed in Chaos City to meditate and comprehend, and occasionally he would go to the city lord's mansion to study the Chaos Stele.

However, when comprehending the Chaos Stele, Yang Wu could no longer maintain a time flow rate of fifty times, and could only continue to operate the Time Palace at a time flow rate of five times.

This also slowed down Yang Wu's progress in comprehending the Chaos Stele.

……

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

Original area, lecture hall number one.

This hall, which is 100 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide, is larger than an average city, but it is not opened very often.

Hall Two, used for lectures by immortal deities, is frequently open; while Hall One is only opened when the Cosmic Venerable is giving a lecture.

Even core members of the original secret realm would only have such an opportunity once every few decades.

However, with the upcoming World Lord-level qualification battle, Hall No. 1 has been opening much more frequently.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred seats at the edge of Hall No. 1, and members of the Primal Secret Realm were arriving from time to time in streaks of light.

Whoosh!

Yang Wu's figure also appeared in Hall One.

After Yang Wu broke through the Domain Lord-level Tongtian Mountain, the Nine Swords Venerable had already shown him the sixth and seventh diagrams of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

Moreover, Yang Wu now has an extremely high level of understanding of the laws of space, and he already possesses the strength to pass through the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven. Even those immortal gods who have been granted the title of King may not be much stronger than him.

Therefore, Yang Wuping rarely went to the lecture hall to attend classes.

However, Hall One was an exception; the courses taught by the Cosmic Venerable were still of considerable help to him.

In recent years, Yang Wu has never missed a single course taught by the Venerable Space.

Wow!

The moment Yang Wu appeared in Hall 1 of the lecture building, the entire hall fell silent, and almost all of the dozens of members of the Primal Secret Realm who came to listen to the lecture looked at him.

Yang Wu was like the center of a whirlpool.

"Toka, weren't you worried that Prince Yang Wu would take up a spot as a Primal Realm Lord-level member during the qualifying battle? Now that he's broken through to the Realm Lord level, are you finally relieved?"

In a corner, after seeing Yang Wu appear, a handsome core member of the Domain Lord level smiled and said to a friend beside him.

This course covered some basics of spatial laws, and several domain lord-level members attended.

However, due to the vast difference in talent, these domain lord-level powerhouses, although also members of the Primal Secret Realm, would still respectfully address Yang Wu as His Highness.

The lean man, Toka, chuckled sheepishly and said, "I didn't expect Prince Yang Wu to break through so quickly. However, this means the next generation of World Lords will have a headache!"

Any genius who lives in the same era and at the same level as a phenomenal figure like Yang Wu would feel immense pressure.

"That's true!" the handsome man echoed. "With Prince Yang Wu's talent, it probably won't be long before he surpasses those arrogant Realm Lord-level geniuses!"

In the Primal Secret Realm, members at the Realm Lord level hold the most prestigious status.

Therefore, those original secret realm masters more or less look down on the original secret realm members at the universe level and domain master level.

Now that Yang Wu has broken through to the Realm Lord level, these Domain Lord level members are naturally gloating.

……

Most of the original secret realm masters around them felt secretly resentful when they heard the conversation between these domain lords.

As members of the Primordial Secret Realm, even the weakest among them possessed a level of understanding of the laws comparable to a Marquis-level Immortal. In the entire human race, there are only a few hundred such peerless geniuses.

But now these people look down on them because of Yang Wu's breakthrough, which really makes them feel indignant.

"Brio, did you hear that? Those little Domain Lord level guys only know that Yang Wu has broken through to the World Lord level, and they don't take us old folks seriously at all!" A Primordial Secret Realm Lord level member with purple hair looked at a young companion with four wings on his back beside him and said in a low voice.

The four-winged youth remained calm and said in a low voice, "Usen, it's not their fault. Yang Wu's talent is indeed incredibly amazing! However..."

Brio then changed the subject, continuing, "Even if Yang Wu is a genius, it still takes time to comprehend the laws. He only recently broke through to the World Lord level, so his understanding of the laws probably hasn't improved much."

"Moreover, the World Lord-level qualification battle is in just over a month. He might be kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm directly. If you're still not satisfied, you might as well give him some 'guidance' during the battle."

"Isn't it a rare opportunity for us to mentor such a peerless genius?"

Over the years, due to the confidentiality of the emails sent by the Chaos City Lord, the news of Yang Wu's breakthrough of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a Domain Lord-level event, has only circulated among the upper echelons of the human race. Even among the peak King-level experts, only a very few know about it, let alone these Primordial Secret Realm Lord-level members.

"This..." Upon hearing this, the purple-haired Realm Lord Usen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brio, your teacher is the Azure-Eyed Venerable, of course he's not afraid of Yang Wu, so I'll pass!"

As for Wusen, it was one thing to grumble in private, but he wouldn't dare to actually face off against a peerless genius like Yang Wu.

"Then forget it!" Brio said, waving his hand.

If he could, Brio would also prefer not to face Yang Wu, but his teacher was the Blue-Eyed Venerable.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Azure-Eyed Venerable and the Nine-Sword Venerable had a conflict. Although it wasn't a matter of life and death, they were usually at odds.

Therefore, even though he didn't want to, Brio still had to confront Yang Wu.

Meanwhile, the other realm lord-level members were also discussing it.

"I really don't know what Yang Wu was thinking, breaking through decades before the qualifying rounds? Otherwise, with his talent, winning first place in the qualifying rounds a hundred thousand years from now wouldn't be a problem!"

"Who knows? Maybe he's just too arrogant!"

……

Yang Wu, who was sitting not far away, twitched his ears and clearly heard their conversation. It was obvious that the other party had no intention of hiding anything.

Brio and Usen are both members of the Primal Secret Realm Master level.

Among them, Brio passed the seventeenth level of the Sky Bridge, while Usen passed the sixteenth level, demonstrating considerable strength.

In fact, in the years after breaking through to the Realm Lord level...

Yang Wu also discovered that most of the Realm Lord level members did not have a good impression of him.

Come to think of it, even among the entire human race, the Primordial Mystic Realm Master is considered a rare genius.

Those ranked higher among them are already strong enough to be crowned kings in terms of individual strength. After breaking through, they will have no problem possessing the strength of a high-level king.

However, Yang Wu's appearance made these peerless geniuses pale in comparison. It would be impossible for them not to feel a trace of jealousy.

"Want to 'give me pointers'?"

Yang Wu shook his head inwardly: "The upcoming qualifying match will be a good opportunity to teach them a lesson!"

Most of these original secret realm masters have been stuck at the realm master level for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

But what they don't know is that true geniuses are always those who forge ahead!

Like the Seven Sword Kings of the Giant Axe Arena, if they had stayed at the Realm Lord level for longer, they might have had a real chance to break through the Realm Lord level Tongtian Mountain, but he directly broke through to Immortality.

People like Hong, Bolan, Rong Jun, and even Mo Luo, who had plotted against Luo Feng, all broke through to the Immortal realm after cultivating for over 100,000 years!

Just then...

A figure exuding an astonishing aura walked into the lecture hall.

He smiled and looked at everyone. After his gaze lingered briefly on Yang Wu, he walked to the center of the lecture hall.

Seeing this, many geniuses stopped their discussions and began to concentrate on the lesson.
