Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

……

"Let's take this time to organize our gains!"

It would take a while for the spaceship to return to the original secret realm, which would give Lu Yunhe some time to rest. He had lived a very fulfilling and rewarding life on the Blood Luo Continent for the past ten years.

The golden dragon avatar, which has fused with two hundred Blood Crystals, has also studied more than one hundred kinds of the essence of the laws of time and space, and has gained some understanding of the law of fusion of gold and space. Its human body has also fused with eight Blood Crystals.

This was still an improvement on his own. Then, Lu Yunhe saw the mountain of Blood Crystals and a Beast God statue in the storage ring that Gong Shanwen had stolen, and he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

"Don't get too cocky. These resources are nothing compared to those who have been crowned Kings and Immortals. They're nothing." Lu Yunhe forcibly looked away and immersed himself in cultivation.

……

"After Your Highness Lu Yunhe enters the testing chamber, just follow the intelligent prompts."

When Lu Yunhe returned to the Primal Secret Realm, he also submitted an application to complete his cultivation mission. As a result, the spaceship responsible for the inspection also arrived at the Primal Secret Realm at the same time.

"Okay." Lu Yunhe nodded and stepped into the testing chamber.

In the cabin.

An electronic voice announced: "Lu Yunhe, please take out a Blood Crystal and place it on the table in front of you."

A blood crystal was placed on the alloy table.

"First mission: Obtain one Blood Crystal. Completed. Reward: 1 points." The electronic voice announced. "Lu Yunhe, please prove your Blood Warrior status and place the Blood Medal on the table."

laugh!

His Force suit automatically opened, revealing his bare chest. Lu Yunhe activated the Blood Luo Power within his body, and blood-red secret patterns immediately appeared on his chest. These patterns were more complex than those of Blood Warriors, but not as complex as those of Black Warriors.

At the same time, Lu Yunhe took out a Blood Luo Medal from his storage ring and placed it on the alloy table.

Blue light swept across Lu Yunhe and the desktop.

"confirm!"

"Lu Yunhe, congratulations on completing the second mission, becoming a Blood Warrior and obtaining the Blood Luo Medal, and receiving a reward of 10 points," the electronic voice said.

Upon hearing the notification that the mission was complete, Lu Yunhe did not leave immediately but continued to wait for the next part of the story.

After the electronic voice ended, a cold female voice suddenly rang out, "Lu Yunhe, the message I am about to convey to you through the Virtual Universe Network System involves the confidential information of my Virtual Universe Company. Please do not disclose it."

"But don't be nervous. We routinely question anyone who enters the Blood Luo World," the cold woman's voice said. "Since you were able to become a Blood Warrior and pay a Blood Luo Crystal, I estimate... you should have some extra Blood Luo Crystals on you."

"Hmm!" Lu Yunhe nodded, there was only a little bit left.

"Blood Crystals exist only in the Blood Crystal World. They are extremely mysterious and important crystals in our vast universe. Among our human race, Blood Crystals are considered 'forbidden items'... 'Forbidden items' means items that are absolutely prohibited from being sold... Once it is discovered that someone is selling them, Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, Cosmic First Bank, and Cosmic Galaxy Bank will all take direct action to confiscate the Blood Crystals and severely punish offenders."

"Forbidden items!"

Lu Yunhe thought of the Blood Crystals that were so prevalent on the Blood Road Continent. So it really was a unilateral ban!

"Your acquisition of Blood Crystals is through legal and normal channels; we will not rob you," the cold female voice said. "However,... you absolutely cannot sell Blood Crystals to others; you can only use them yourself. If you want to give them away... please submit an application to the Virtual Universe Company first. Only after the application is approved can you give them away. Second, if you want to sell Blood Crystals, our Virtual Universe Company will be responsible for purchasing them, offering 600 points per Blood Crystal."

"600 points!"

Upon hearing the score, Lu Yunhe secretly clicked his tongue in astonishment. It was far too low. This kind of item, which was even useful to a Universe Venerable, should cost far more than this. Adding several zeros would be too low.

Although he knew the hidden value of the Blood Crystal, Lu Yunhe didn't feel any ill will towards the Virtual Universe Company's acquisition, because this was a matter of the world, that is, the worldview.

After all, in the fantasy world, strength is the greatest form of fairness. For example, if Lu Yunhe discovers that an apprentice has a supreme treasure, he cannot exchange it for the same treasure. Giving him a planet or a Chaos Unit would already be the greatest fairness and goodwill.

Not to mention, without the Virtual Universe Company, he wouldn't even have access to something like Blood Crystals, let alone exchange for points.

"Are you willing to sell Blood Crystal?" the cold voice asked.

“I’m willing!” Lu Yunhe nodded and tossed a storage ring that he had prepared beforehand onto the alloy table.

Then a dangerous red light swept across the storage ring, probing the amount of Blood Crystals inside. Time passed slowly, and the cold female voice in the call seemed to falter slightly.

"Are you sure you want to sell the Blood Crystals inside?" the cold voice asked again, confirming.

"Yes!"

"The quantity of Blood Crystals has been verified, and the points will be credited to your account shortly." Perhaps it was just my imagination, but the icy voice seemed much softer.

"grateful!"

"This is what you deserve," the cold voice said. "Our conversation ends here. Today's conversation is confidential and must not be leaked."

Lu Yunhe then walked out of the testing chamber with a smile on his face. After this batch of resources was sold, there would be no shortage of resources for a short period of time.

After the spaceship departed, the points earned from selling Blood Crystals were credited to Lu Yunhe's account.

"6000 million points!"

That's right, Lu Yunhe sold 100,000 Blood Crystals in one go, earning 60 million points.

In the Blood Luo World, Lu Yunhe obtained 302210 Blood Luo Crystals in one go. Apart from the thousand or so he had snatched himself, the rest were all obtained by Gong Shanwen from the Immortal Temple.

After selling 100,000, there are still 200,000 left, which is more than enough.

After all, there is a limit to the fusion of Blood Crystals, and not all clones are suitable for Blood Crystals; you can't use them all even if you want to.

"Sixty million points is equivalent to sixty million Hunyuan units. Even a wealthy Marquis or Immortal would probably have around that much wealth."

Lu Yunhe thought to himself, if you include the 200,000 Blood Crystals in his hand, it's close to 200 million points.

Chapter 146 Purchasing Secrets

However, Lu Yunhe had no intention of selling the remaining Blood Crystals. Once he reached the Realm Lord level, he would have strength comparable to an Immortal, and his ways of making money would no longer be limited to missions and adventures.

"Dracion, open the resource-type treasures first!"

Lu Yunhe returned to his room. These points were just a bunch of numbers; they only had meaning when they were converted into strength.

Because both the Golden Dragon clone and the Divine Tree clone were stuck at the ninth level of the Domain Lord level, just one step away from reaching the World Lord level, Lu Yunhe first chose to purchase the corresponding resources to increase his strength.

The first and most important realm in the primordial universe is the Realm Lord level. We need to quickly build up the strength of our clones to the Realm Lord level in order to fully unleash their potential.

"Golden Dragon clone's spacetime resources, Divine Tree clone's plant resources, Zetton clone's flesh and blood energy resources." Lu Yunhe frantically clicked to place orders. As for the Ultraman clone, he directly purchased a Domain Lord-level nutrient tank and spent resources to upgrade it to the ninth level of Domain Lord level before making any decisions.

The purchase of resources alone cost a full five million points, a sum that even many Marquis and Immortal level cultivators couldn't afford.

"After purchasing these resources, our clones will have no shortage of resources at the World Lord level!"

For those above the Realm Lord level, the Primal Universe will provide a large portion of the resources needed for breakthroughs, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Next is the secret technique!"

There are two types of combat-related secret techniques: "Taiyin" and "Da Ri". These can support him in the early stages of combat. However, once he reaches the late stage of the Realm Lord level, he will need to create his own secret techniques.

Therefore, Lu Yunhe's goal is to obtain auxiliary enhancement techniques, specifically techniques that enhance both the body and soul.

Looking at the large number of amplification techniques in the treasure vault, Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment: "The prices of amplification techniques vary greatly, and the most influential factor is the accompanying techniques."

Many of the amplification techniques in the treasure vault don't just have a single amplification effect; they also include a large number of complementary techniques for combat, defense, speed, and so on. For example, "Black Hole Evolution" includes the introductory combat technique "Nine Refinements Fist," and the advanced technique "True Black Hole Body," and so on...

From beginner to expert, a complete training process.

"But I don't need any of those. I just need a pure amplification technique."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yunhe understood his needs. He didn't need those accompanying secret techniques. In the early stages, his clone racial talent was much more useful than these basic secret techniques.

After filtering out a large number of unnecessary secret techniques, Lu Yunhe selected two sets of secret techniques: one body enhancement technique called "Original True Body" and one soul enhancement technique called "Myriad Light Refining Heart Secret Manual".

"The Original True Form," a secret method for enhancing the body, with an unknown creator. It has seven levels: the first level increases the enhancement by two times, the second by four times, and so on, up to 32 times for the fifth level, 64 times for the sixth level, and 100 times for the seventh level.

Because it's only an enhancement technique, the first three levels only require 10 million points, and you can also enjoy a 30% discount on the Primal Realm.

Besides the favorable price, the most important reason why Lu Yunhe chose "The Original True Form" was that this secret technique was highly universal and suitable for almost all human beings to cultivate, including Ultraman clones.

As for the other book, "The Secret Manual of Refining the Heart with Myriad Lights," it is also divided into eight levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white. The first level involves refining one hundred red lights to achieve 100% power. The second level involves refining one hundred orange lights, which, when combined with the red lights, achieve a twofold increase. The third level involves refining two hundred yellow lights, achieving a fourfold increase. And so on, until the eighth level, "Myriad Lights Converge into One," which reaches the limit of a one hundredfold increase.

""Secret Manual of Ten Thousand Lights of Refinement of Hearts"!"

This secret technique differs from "The Original True Form." It's the one most suited to the light attribute, a technique Lu Yunhe specifically chose for Ultraman's clone. After all, it's the first clone he obtained, holding unique significance.

In any case, the secret arts of the soul are different from those of the body. Because the soul is inherently ethereal, once one clone has mastered the art, the other clones can easily learn it after some practice.

Unlike the body enhancement techniques, which are limited by physical constitution and cultivation treasures, cultivation experience is difficult to be reflected back to the body.

Whether it's because it's a niche skill or because soul techniques are inherently more precious than body enhancement techniques, the first four levels of the "Myriad Light Refining Heart Manual" cost 2000 million points, which is twice as expensive as the "Original True Body".

After making the purchase, Lu Yunhe checked the prices of the later levels and found that even as a member of the original secret realm, he did not have the authority to purchase them. He estimated that he would only have the authority to purchase them when he was a King or a Universe Venerable.

"I've bought all the amplification techniques. Should I buy some auxiliary techniques related to fusion laws?"

Lu Yunhe hesitated for a moment. He had already crossed the threshold of the Golden Void Fusion Law in the Blood Luo Continent, so he definitely wanted to buy this fusion law auxiliary secret technique. He was considering other fusion laws.

"Although the law of fusion is also a path to becoming the master of the universe, to break through to the level of the universe venerable, one still needs to fully comprehend one of the two superior fundamental laws."

As Lu Yunhe pondered, he re-examined his cultivation path. In the early stages, he would focus primarily on the essence of the laws of time and space, supplemented by the eight fundamental laws.

If you fully comprehend both of these, you will need to comprehend the laws of time and space to become a cosmic sage. In this case, it will not be difficult to cultivate the eight major fusion laws as a supplement.

"In fact, becoming the master of the universe is about the same difficulty as becoming the supreme being of the universe for me."

Lu Yunhe suddenly thought of something, and a smile of triumph returned to his face. He made up his mind: "I'll directly purchase the eight fusion laws to assist the secret technique and give my clones something to do."

Since Lu Yunhe's human body did not have a clear affinity for any laws, he simply devoted himself entirely to the path of the "Ten Great Laws." His various avatars could cultivate a path of laws that was more suited to them, since they could not avoid the two superior primordial laws in the middle stages anyway.

"Purchase the first volume of 'The Beast God of Metal,' 'The Beast God of Thunder,' 'The Beast God of Light,' 'The Beast God of Fire,' and 'The Beast God of Wood.'"

These secret techniques are all popular auxiliary techniques for fusion laws in the virtual universe. They are basically available in six volumes, which correspond to the first six levels of the Path of the Beast God.

The seventh level of the Path of the Beast God corresponds to the Lord of the Universe. It seems that there is no one among the human race who has become the Lord of the Universe through the Path of the Beast God.

The first level of the Path of the Beast God corresponds to the fifteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven, which is equivalent to the level of understanding of the laws of immortality. Therefore, the price of the first volume is not expensive, at one million points per volume. However, due to the special nature of the Path of the Beast God, there is no discount.

"The clone's growth grants 5 million points, the amplification technique grants 21 million points, and the auxiliary law technique grants 5 million points."

Lu Yunhe did a quick calculation and realized that the money-burning part hadn't even started yet, and half of the 60 million points from selling Blood Crystals had already been spent.

That's right. Buying a secret technique costs money, and cultivating it is equally expensive. Especially a body-enhancing secret technique, the cost of which is enormous.

It's fine if you can improve by spending resources, but in reality, many of these enhancement techniques only require a lot of resources to qualify for cultivation; whether you can succeed is another matter entirely.

After all, those who have been crowned as immortal kings or even cosmic venerables will not lack resources, but even among cosmic venerables, there are not many who can amplify secret techniques by more than 50 times.

"However, doubling the first level and quadrupling the second level shouldn't be difficult."

Lu Yunhe calculated that, because he and his Ultraman clone needed to use the amplification technique to cultivate, he would need to have at least 20 million points left over to purchase cultivation materials.
