Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 311, The Secret Codex of Augustus, Origin Dragon Star

A moment later, Yang Wu, led by his wife Qian Shui, arrived at a vast, ancient manor located in the heart of the suspended city.

From a distance, viewed from mid-air, two powerful figures could be seen sitting together drinking in the main hall of the ancient manor.

One of them was a bald man wearing a silver robe with mysterious green markings on his face; he was none other than Cadis, who had met Yang Wu once before.

The other person also had mysterious green markings on his face, but he looked older and exuded a powerful aura.

Yang Wu knew that this person was none other than Augustus, the ancestor of Planet Augustus. Although both were high-level cosmic beings, Augustus was stronger than the Nine Swords Venerable due to his own accumulated strength.

In fact, among the thousands of human universe venerables, the number of high-level venerables is almost the largest. For example, the rulers of more than a thousand universe kingdoms almost all have the strength of high-level venerables, otherwise they would not be able to preside over a vast universe kingdom for endless years.

These ancient rulers of the cosmic kingdoms have all cultivated for countless years. Although they have failed to break through to the next level, they are able to contend with even cosmic overlords because of the protection they possess.

Of course, the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is an exception.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was unlucky; despite having lived for countless years, he perished three times during his adventures.

Although the cosmic ruler of the human race can resurrect the other party, the price of resurrection must be borne by the other party themselves.

As a result, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom incurred a huge debt among the human race.

At Augustus's signal, Yang Wu and Qian Shui landed directly in the living room from mid-air.

"Yang Wu greets the two Venerable Ones!"

"Ancestor!"

Yang Wu and Qian Shui quickly bowed in greeting.

Augustus looked at Qian Shui with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

When the Universal Humanity's Peak Genius Battle was held, he paid attention to the two outstanding juniors, Qian Shui and Jiang Mo.

For Augustus, with the talents of Qian Shui and Jiang Mo, as long as they don't perish, becoming immortal marquises in the future is not a problem at all.

If nurtured with care, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to become immortal kings after countless years.

Even within the Augustus lineage, those who are crowned as immortals are considered a core force.

What he didn't expect was that, after hundreds of years, Qian Shui actually got together with a peerless genius like Yang Wu. In addition, since Yang Wu had no other partner, he was practically a half-human from Planet Augustus in a sense.

On the other side, Cadis looked at Yang Wu and said with a smile, "Yang Wu, this is our second meeting! You were already exceptionally outstanding when I saw you last time, but I never imagined that was just the beginning!"

"Yang Wu, let me introduce you. This is Augustus, the greatest being of my planet Augustus!" Cadis said with a smile.

"Greetings, Venerable One!" Yang Wu bowed respectfully once again.

"Haha, Yang Wu, you've really shone brightly lately, causing quite a stir throughout the vast universe!"

Augustus smiled at Yang Wu: "Speaking of which, Cadis won a bet because of you!"

"Thank you for your praise, Venerable One!" Yang Wu said with a slight bow.

"Come, sit down!" Augustus waved his hand, gesturing for Yang Wu and Qian Shui to sit down. Immediately, a glass of fruit wine radiating a gentle energy appeared in front of the two of them.

Yang Wu paid no attention to the wine in his cup, but Qian Shui's gaze was somewhat dazed.

The wine in the cup is the renowned Immortal Spring in the universe. Even in the virtual universe, a single bottle costs hundreds of thousands of Primordial Chaos Units.

As for the real-world price, it is hundreds of times higher than in the virtual universe, requiring tens of millions of Chaos Units to purchase.

This cup of liquid is more than all of her current assets.

However, Qian Shui was also very clear in her heart that she was able to drink this cup of the Undying Spirit Spring entirely because of Yang Wu, so she did not show any fear in front of the two ancestors of the Augustus Planet.

"Haha!" Augustus raised his cup and said, "This 'Unfailing Spirit Spring' is merely a source of pleasure for us, but it will be quite beneficial for you two. No need to be so polite with me!"

"Thank you, Venerable One!" Yang Wu also raised his cup and said.

"Thank you, Ancestor!" Qian Shui also raised his cup.

The four men drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

Although Qian Shui became a Blood Warrior, his own realm was ultimately only at the Domain Lord level.

After she finished drinking the wine, the transformation of her body by the Undying Spirit Spring immediately began.

With a wave of his hand, Augustus sent Qian Shui vanishing from the hall.

Looking at Yang Wu, Augustus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent Qian Shui to a quiet room for seclusion. I imagine she'll reap many benefits after she sobers up!"

Hearing this, Yang Wu finally felt relieved.

When Augustus saw that Yang Wu's body had not changed at all after drinking the "Undying Spirit Spring", he was secretly amazed.

It should be known that even an immortal deity would receive considerable benefits from drinking from this "Unfading Spirit Spring".

However, it's normal that Yang Wu had some trump cards to achieve such success, so Augustus didn't pay much attention to them and went straight to the point.

"Yang Wu, are you leaving Chaos City this time to begin your life-and-death trials at the Realm Lord stage?" Augustus asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied respectfully.

Cosmic Venerables are already considered high-ranking members of the human race, especially ancient Cosmic Venerables like Augustus, so Yang Wu naturally didn't need to hide the information.

"I have witnessed your battle with Moxon, and I presume you have already grasped the true pinnacle of secret techniques by now!" Augustus asked with certainty.

"Your Excellency's wisdom is truly remarkable!" Yang Wu replied with a smile.

"Haha..." Augustus laughed and said, "Since you have such talent, then I will lend you a hand!"

"My lineage's secret techniques within the Mystic Tower of my Augustus planet contain countless secret methods. While not as comprehensive as those in the company's treasury, they still possess some unique aspects!"

"Now that you've come to Planet Augustus, I'll let you choose any three sets of arcane techniques from the Arcane Tower. I believe this will be of great help to you in creating your own arcane techniques in the future!" Augustus said with a smile.

In Augustus's view, trying to win over Yang Wu in advance would inevitably come at a price.

If it were a great treasure, Augustus certainly wouldn't have been so generous.

After much thought, the only way is to bestow the secret technique. This way, it can help Yang Wu, and the planet Augustus won't incur any additional expenses.

"This... Thank you, Venerable One!" After a moment's thought, Yang Wu replied respectfully.

Although he now possesses a large number of secret techniques that he can learn from and cultivate, who can refuse secret techniques that are given away for free?

"Alright, go ahead!" Augustus waved his hand and said, "Caddis will take you to the Mystic Tower!"

……

A moment later, Cadis led Yang Wu to the entrance of a majestic tower. As they approached the tower, Yang Wu felt a sense of peace.

Under Kadis's guidance, Yang Wu quickly browsed through all the secret manuals inside the Mystic Tower.

Half a day later, Yang Wu finally arrived at the top of the Mystic Tower.

To be honest, Yang Wu was quite disappointed with the mystical tower on Planet Augustus.

Among the many secret techniques he had seen, the highest level was only a top-tier technique that was close to the pinnacle of ultimate skills.

Such secret techniques, once they spread throughout the universe, naturally attracted countless powerful individuals.

But for Yang Wu now, these top-level secret techniques are not as good as his own original masterpiece, so how could they serve as a reference for his original secret techniques?

Even with two Cosmic Venerables, Augustus is ultimately just a life-bearing planet; how many powerful beings can it possibly produce?

Perhaps sensing Yang Wu's thoughts, Cadis smiled and said after leading Yang Wu to the top floor, "Yang Wu, the many secret manuals in this Mystic Tower are the accumulation of countless powerful individuals from my Augustus planet lineage. Even the unique techniques created by myself and Ancestor Augustus are placed on this top floor!"

"A unique skill created by the Universe Venerable?" Yang Wu's heart stirred slightly.

For beings like the Universe Venerable, spending a little time creating their own ultimate techniques is not a problem at all.

Even if the cultivation path is different, the ultimate techniques at the peak level can still provide him with some reference value.

There were only five secret manuals on the top floor of the Mystic Tower. Yang Wu picked one up at random and began to read it carefully.

The manual contains the name of a secret technique: "The Scorching Sun Secret Technique".

Kadis explained from the side, "This 'Blazing Sun Secret Technique' was created by a supreme expert of the Augustus planet lineage—the Blazing Sun King. 1.5 billion years ago, the Blazing Sun King used this secret technique to dominate the battlefields beyond the realms, earning him immense fame!"

"Now, 1.5 billion years later, the power of this secret technique has only grown stronger!"

"The Scorching Sun Secret Technique?" Yang Wu flipped through this set of ultimate martial arts techniques.

The Scorching Sun King is an immortal god who achieved immortality through the fundamental laws of fire, and his cultivation path is quite similar to Yang Wu's.

The "Burning Sun Secret Technique" does indeed have some unique features, as it already has a third form, and in terms of sheer power, it is even stronger than Yang Wu's "God Slaughtering Technique".

After watching "The Scorching Sun Secret Technique", Yang Wu then carefully studied the other four secret techniques.

When Yang Wu saw the last set of the "Augustic Codex," a look of surprise finally appeared on his face.

In terms of the exquisiteness of the secret techniques alone, this "Augustic Codex" is not particularly outstanding among the many top-tier secret techniques that Yang Wu possesses.

Both "Star Prison Codex" and "Black Hole Evolution" are superior to "August Codex".

Yang Wu was surprised because this "August Codex" was the ultimate technique of the "Water and Void" Beast God lineage.

In fact, although the Path of the Beast God is rare, most of the peak human beings know about it, and many have even dabbled in it.

However, for those powerful beings, the Path of the Beast God is merely a secondary cultivation. For example, Venerable Golden Axe of the Virtual Universe Company lineage has achieved considerable success in the Path of the Beast God of 'Gold and Void', but his main cultivation lies in the two superior laws of time and space, and his self-created secret techniques are also based on the fundamental law of space.

Among the human race, there are not many powerful individuals who specialize in the path of the Beast God. Over countless years, there have only been a few hundred inheritors.

Yang Wu did not expect that Augustus was a powerful cultivator who mainly practiced the Path of the Beast God, and even created a set of ultimate techniques based on it.

Judging from the content of the secret techniques he created, they are quite similar to those of Hirodo from the Golden Horn tribe.

"I never expected to encounter the secret method of the 'Water and Void' Beast God's Path. In the future, I can use this to step into the 'Water and Void' Fusion Law!" With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately made the "August Codex" one of his choices.

If possible, he still wants to master as many fundamental laws as possible before breaking through to immortality.

Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, knew very well that in the later stages of cultivating the Path of Laws, one would inevitably have to merge all the laws into the Chaos Law.

Therefore, whether it's the law of fusion or ordinary subordinate laws, the more you master now, the greater the benefit to the future.

……

Ultimately, Yang Wu chose the "Augustic Codex", the "Blazing Sun Secret Technique", and the "Caddis Codex" created by Caddis from the Mystic Tower.

Of these three esoteric texts, the "Augustic Codex" is the most precious.

After Yang Wu made his choice of the secret manual, Cadis immediately took out the complete three sets of secret manuals for Yang Wu to see.

Moreover, apart from not being allowed to leak the secret manual, Yang Wu was not subject to any other restrictions.

After choosing the secret method, Yang Wu did not linger on Planet Augustus.

After spending three days with his wife Qianshui and son Yang Chen, Yang Wu planned to head directly to the battlefield outside the region.

……

In outer space outside the atmosphere of Planet Augustus, a blood-red triangular spaceship floats in mid-air.

At the spaceship's hatch, Yang Wu and Qian Shui were reluctantly saying goodbye.

After bidding farewell to Qian Shui, Yang Wu flew alone into the spaceship.

"Yang Wu, you must come back alive!" His wife's voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"Hahaha... Don't worry!" Yang Wu laughed heartily, then boarded the spaceship and entered the dark universe.

After a period of flight through the dark universe, Yang Wu arrived at a secluded place in his spaceship.

Yang Wu then ordered Kash to use the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to rush to the nearest coordinate location to 'Source Dragon Star'.

Yuanlong Star is one of the eight major logistics supply bases within human territory and a fixed transport point for the military of the Space Nation to travel to battlefields outside the region.

The cosmic warrior army, as well as some lone wolves who want to go to the outer battlefield, can go to Source Dragon Star, and after being assigned, they can go to the outer battlefield.

……

After being teleported by the divine kingdom and spending half a day traveling through space, Yang Wu finally arrived at his destination.

"arrive!"

"That's Yuanlong Star!"

Inside the blood-red triangular spaceship control room, Yang Wu gazed at the enormous planet in the distance—that was Yuanlong Star!

Yuanlong Star is a massive artificial planet with a diameter of 107.3 million kilometers, truly deserving the title of a star fortress.

Even if attacked by several cosmic venerables, Yuanlong Star will remain unharmed.

At this moment, Yang Wu was riding in the F-class spaceship that his senior brother, Latte, had handed back to him. In the universe, this was considered standard equipment for a Marquis-level immortal god.

"drop!"

"Master, I have received a guidance signal from inside Origin Dragon Star."

The voice of the intelligent life form Chi Yan appeared in Yang Wu's mind: "Signal established. Should we proceed according to the guidance from inside Yuanlong Star?"

"Yes," Yang Wu nodded.

Whoosh!

The blood-red triangular spaceship transformed into a streak of light and swiftly flew towards Yuanlong Star.

I caught it; I have a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and my whole body aches and I feel weak. I can only maintain a minimum update rate.
