Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 700

There are only ten holy sects in the entire Realm Heart Continent. Eight of them come from the six ancient kingdoms. The other two are either constantly suppressed or have become guest elders of the ancient kingdoms. They cannot escape the influence of the ancient kingdoms.

However, once a school of thought is established, it's equivalent to having a continuous channel to earn cosmic crystals.

Just like the Lord of Nangumo, through this method, in terms of cosmic crystals alone, he is even richer than many ultimate realm beings.

Risks and benefits coexist.

For Black Prison Yin Hai, the least worrisome thing is risk.

He has a considerable need for cosmic crystals. After all, it's not easy to barter with some Chaos Realm beings or even ordinary Cosmic Gods. Cosmic crystals can still be used as an anchor point.

However, for now, Lu Yunhe has set up a shop, imitating the Fan family.

Although his focus is on the fundamental path, he is still very confident in his ability to refine treasures, and he can refine treasures of various attributes.

In its early stages, trading through secrets was one of the fastest industries to start, but the market was highly saturated and competition was fierce.

Lu Yunhe can refine these treasures himself, and there are many different kinds. Whether it's the Void Dao, the Realm Dao, or even the Destruction Dao, Thunder Dao, etc., he can produce the corresponding secret treasures and has his own advantages.

However, Lu Yunhe only planned to create the secret treasure of the first level of the Cosmic God, which would be convenient and quick, without wasting time, and the market demand was also relatively large.

The secret treasure of the first level of the Cosmic God can also be used by many top Chaos Realm experts and those at the tenth level of the Chaos Mirror.

These are the core users, after all, how many cosmic gods are there, and even fewer lack the corresponding secret treasures.

It would be enough to create a clone to manage the kingdom and, incidentally, refine a batch of secret treasures.

For the shops that opened in other universes, Lu Yunhe also chose to have them managed by magic servants, so there was no need to worry about corruption, and absolute fairness.

The materials for crafting demon servants are even easier to find. The Black Prison and the Dark Sea lack everything except demons in the Chaos Realm.

The former Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had a group of Chaos Realm demons under his command. After refining these people, they would be able to meet the needs of the initial expansion.

In the Chaotic Kingdom, virtual universes, shops... all the necessary functions are gradually being improved.

Under Lu Yunhe's will, Chaos City was fully established and was already able to provide him with positive feedback.

A steady stream of resources was delivered to him; some were converted into physical goods and sold again, while others were integrated into Chaos City to strengthen his base.

The final part was incorporated into Lu Yunhe's secret treasure, the Chaos City.

When building the Chaos City, Lu Yunhe referenced the Mechanical Flow Treasure and the structure of the Source World, leaving ample room for continuous resource integration, expansion, and enhancement.

Like a normal city, it has grown bigger and stronger as it has developed.

In the materialized city of chaos, every stream and every brick is equivalent to a secret treasure.

After all, it was a treasure crafted based on his own original Dao, and it also incorporated Lu Yunhe's understanding of the Dao. In the process of perfecting this treasure, he was also cultivating his own original Dao.

It is not only refining treasures, but also cultivating oneself and comprehending the Dao, thus achieving a three-in-one cultivation.

After all, as a treasure, it has a high margin for error, allowing him to recklessly add bricks and tiles to it and experiment with his understanding of the Dao.

Even the clones created through the Void Dao have gradually been strengthened.

The clones created through the clone technique are far inferior to the clones in the "Illustrated Compendium." Their strength is generally average, and they are all supported by the original body's fundamental Dao.

With the investment of resources, one can also try to cultivate the divine body secret technique to improve basic strength.

Inside the secret chamber, Lu Yunhe looked at his hands. The city, which could be described as a vast, chaotic city, made him nod in approval.

Although it wasn't a top-tier secret treasure, it could be said to be the most suitable secret treasure for him at this moment, far surpassing those top-tier secret treasures, and its power in his hands was considerable.

To be honest, finding a top-tier treasure that perfectly matches his needs is unrealistic; he basically has to forge it himself.

"The resources on the Realm Heart Continent are truly abundant!" Lu Yunhe murmured.

Under the deliberate influence of the Lord of Hunyuan, the resources of the Realm Heart Continent have surpassed those of other source worlds by an order of magnitude, and are not even comparable to supreme treasures.

After all, there are very few source worlds where there are beings at the Chaos Origin level who would actively invest resources.

Furthermore, the Broken Tooth Mountain Range even harbors a group of beings at the Ultimate Realm or even God Emperor level, and its resources are beyond measure.

While managing Chaos City and accumulating resources, Lu Yunhe also absorbed the Origin Dao he obtained from the Fan family, making progress in all aspects simultaneously.

To be immersed in the cultivation of the original path and even make progress is indeed a wonderful thing.

The closer one gets to the Tao, the more one feels a profound understanding of the essence of the world, a sense of transcendence and freedom—a feeling that is difficult to match with any external emotion.

Just as Lu Yunhe was developing little by little, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Lord of the Stars!"

Looking at the man in front of him, dressed in a magnificent robe, who seemed as vast as the starry universe, Lu Yunhe was reminded of the Starry Sky Sect Master whom he had killed before, as the two were somewhat similar.

"Greetings, Lord of Chaos City. I was unable to attend to the establishment of Chaos City due to other matters. Please forgive me," said the Lord of Stars, then looked at the Lord of Chaos City before him with a hint of wariness in his heart.

He had always felt that the previous rumors that the Chaos City Lord had blocked the Nine Absolutes Island Lord were somewhat exaggerated, but now it seemed that he was indeed quite unfathomable.

"It must be a reincarnation from another source world, no doubt about it," the Lord of Stars thought to himself. In this way, there would be little interaction with other forces, making them a very good partner.

As for the Fan family, many of their transactions also involve the six ancient kingdoms, so it's not a big deal.

The Lord of the Stars, his mind in flux, slightly modified his plan.

"Let's skip the formalities, Lord of the Stars. What brings you here all of a sudden?" Lu Yunhe asked directly.

The Lord of the Stars is a renowned figure in the Black Prison and the Dark Sea, having established a Kingdom of Stars.

This kingdom was not built on the sea, but in the sky, with each star corresponding to an island below.

The entire nation ascended to the realm, which was also fortified by the Lord of the Stars like an ironclad fortress. Faced with an existence at the ultimate level, it should be able to put up a fight.

The Lord of the Stars himself is also a being at the second level of the Cosmic Gods.

"Since the city lord says so, then I won't hide anything." The Lord of Stars, who had originally wanted to chat casually to get closer to the city lord, suddenly became serious.

"Does the City Lord still remember the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island?"

"nature."

Lu Yunhe nodded. He hadn't forgotten that he had offended the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island.

However, since the other party did not come to cause him any trouble, Lu Yunhe, who was still in the process of improving his strength, would naturally not rashly seek trouble from an Ultimate Realm being. At least he would wait until he was fully prepared before doing so.

"Does the City Lord know why the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island has not come to cause you any trouble despite your offense?" asked the Lord of Stars.

However, the Lord of Stars didn't let Lu Yunhe guess; he simply gave the answer.

"Because the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island is planning a secret realm. Once he succeeds, his strength will reach a new level. At that time, the entire Black Prison Yin Sea will be in turmoil, and may even become a place where demons run rampant," the Lord of Stars said coldly.

As a renowned kingdom in the Black Prison and Dark Sea, it has naturally encountered the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island before, and there are considerable conflicts between the two sides. The Lord of the Stars is absolutely unwilling to see the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island succeed.

Having finally escaped from the mainland and found a place to settle down, they didn't want to give up again.

"Secret realm?"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat puzzled. Although he had some memories of his past life, he could only make a rough reference when faced with such a vast source world, and he couldn't even grasp the details.

When it comes to such details and profound information, they are nowhere near as good as the locals.

"What happens next, the Pirate King group leader swears, must not be leaked!" the Lord of Stars solemnly declared.

"it is good!"

Lu Yunhe nodded in agreement, not intending to gamble with his future.

"Has the City Lord heard of the Yin Demon Lord?" the Lord of Stars asked. "This once-renowned powerhouse possessed immense strength, even capable of surviving against invincible beings."

"He wasn't a complete demon, so he was also called the Demon Lord! Unfortunately, he ultimately perished in the war of the second layer of ancient kingdoms."

The ancient kingdom war was the most brutal war on the Realm Heart Continent, even the rampage of demons could not compare, and invincible beings would perish.

It's very simple: the supreme being personally drops down treasures, and everyone can compete for them.

Coming from the hands of a supreme being, it is undoubtedly a supreme treasure, and may even contain higher-level secret teachings, cultivation paths, and so on.

In pursuit of higher levels of power, the top beings on the Realm Heart Continent will naturally engage in a life-or-death struggle, and even invincible beings are no exception.

The six ancient kingdoms represent the core of the Realm Heart Continent, and all of them participate in every battle, hence the wars are named after these ancient kingdoms.

The Second Ancient Kingdom War, fought for precious treasures, saw equally massive cataclysmic events, including the fall of invincible beings.

As for those seriously injured, there were many more. For example, two from the Primordial Ancient Kingdom once joined forces to fight against the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom. The 'Polar Night Primordial Ancestor' was severely injured, and a lot of his source blood was taken away. The 'Eternal Night Primordial Ancestor' also fled with serious injuries...

In that battle, both the most powerful ancient kingdoms, the Ancient Kingdom of All Realms and the Ancient Kingdom of Xiafeng, gained great benefits.

As invincible beings fall, invincible beings are born, so even though the consequences are severe, people still rush to participate.

The Yin Demon Lord perished in the Second Ancient Kingdom War. It is said that he obtained a precious secret treasure, and was even hunted down by an invincible being, eventually falling in the Black Prison Yin Sea.

However, it is said that in the end, the invincible being did not manage to snatch the treasure from the Yin Demon Lord. After searching for a while without finding anything, he left.

"The Yin Demon Lord, the ancient kingdom war, the secret treasure coveted by an invincible being..."

Lu Yunhe pondered for a moment, and realized that these things did indeed have an unparalleled allure.

Putting everything else aside, the Yin Demon Lord is an extremely ancient cosmic god, and an ultimate realm being at that. He must possess a great many treasures, including top-tier secret treasures.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and never obtained the supreme treasure, remaining stuck at the Lord level.

That's why he made a bold move during the Second Ancient Kingdom War, trying to snatch food from the jaws of an invincible being, but unfortunately he still perished in the end.

Many beings at the ultimate level have perished in this way.

The invincible being who possesses the supreme treasure truly surpasses the third level of the cosmic god realm; the gap between the two is enormous, after all, not everyone has the aptitude of a protagonist.

Even invincible beings can perish, let alone these cosmic gods. Such situations are indeed common on the Realm Heart Continent, which is why countless successors have risen to prominence through fortuitous opportunities.

"Based on our investigation, the Lord of Nine Absolutes Island has most likely found the place where the Yin Demon Lord fell." The Lord of Stars solemnly revealed this secret.

"us!"

Upon hearing this, a playful glint flashed in Lu Yunhe's eyes. As expected, this was something that the Lord of the Stars alone could not accomplish.

"Are you sure?" Lu Yunhe asked.

It has to be said that this did tempt him somewhat. As we all know, the fastest way to accumulate wealth, besides plunder, is through inheritance.

If one could acquire the legacy of a third-level cosmic god, it would instantly multiply his wealth, allowing him to catch up with those veteran cosmic gods.
