Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 87 The Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high

The capital of Jupiter, commercial logistics area.

The area, which covers thousands of square kilometers, is divided into a large number of sub-areas, and a large number of cargo containers are piled up in the alloy-frame storage warehouses.

"Cargo number - 5993-6834-6639, from Taran?"

"Another ninth-level star-level Feimo landworm!"

A regional manager was inspecting merchandise and amid the massive amount of goods, he saw hundreds of huge metal boxes of familiar specifications.

"Oh my god, what's going on lately?"

The fat regional manager was shocked. In the past half month, the import volume of live biological products, such as the 'Philippine black terrestrial worm', which is the commodity category he is responsible for, has skyrocketed.

According to the shipping order number and tariff information, it is estimated that thousands of star-level ninth-order Feimo land worms have been transported to Bituo Jupiter in recent days, and the total transaction amount exceeds 100 billion Black Dragon Coins!

Even though it is one of the most prosperous commercial planets in the Milky Way, transactions worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon coins are still very scary.

A few hours later.

On the edge of the commercial capital, in a huge warehouse.

Zhou Ning put away his sword.

Looking around, there were hundreds of giant alloy boxes displayed in front of him, and inside each alloy box was a killed Feimo land worm.

"Finally, I've reached my limit."

Zhou Ning closed his eyes, and his consciousness came to the bright and vast sea of ​​consciousness. At this moment, the sea of ​​consciousness was several times larger than before.

Deep in the sea of ​​light, the reincarnation sphere was quietly waiting, with dozens of light spots suspended around it, all of which were the soul light balls of the Feimo land worms.

Zhou Ning has stayed on Bituo Jupiter for a full half month.

In the past half month, he purchased a large number of star-level ninth-order Feimo land worms and obtained soul light balls. The upper limit of the soul origin nourishment was higher than the best case scenario he expected.

Ten Feimo land worms strengthened his soul essence by 10%.

In the next few days, Zhou Ning quickly absorbed the soul light balls of more than three hundred Feimo land worms, and his soul essence increased three times!
But this is far from the upper limit, the soul essence has not yet been "full".

Zhou Ning was surprised and shocked, and immediately placed an order. Subsequently, a large number of Philippine land worms were transported from breeding groups on various planets.

Five hundred, seven hundred, nine hundred.
After today's batch of Philippine land worms arrived, the total number of Philippine land worms Zhou Ning purchased reached 1,186!
Just now, after killing the last batch of Feimo landworms, Zhou Ning finally felt that the essence of his soul had been nourished to its limit.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, there are still more than sixty soul light balls of the Feimo land worms that cannot be absorbed.

In other words, Zhou Ning's soul origin has been strengthened by more than eleven times compared to before!
".In my opinion, my feelings and will are the skeleton, while the essence of the soul is the body."

"The bigger and thicker the skeleton is, the heavier the flesh can bear."

"The stronger the will, the greater the limit of the soul essence that can be endured."

Obviously.

Zhou Ning's willpower is already amazing.

"The soul origin has been strengthened eleven times"

Whether it is the field of comprehension, the practice of swordsmanship, or even the potential of thinking, it is much stronger than before.

"Can I break free from the shackles of the 'perfect state' now?"

The first month and seven days after arriving at Jupiter.

"Zhou Ning!"

"Zhou Ning!"

The call from Babata woke Zhou Ning, who was immersed in his cultivation. He frowned subconsciously and answered the call.

"Babata, what's wrong?"

".that."

On the other side, Babata asked anxiously: "Last time, you asked me a question, and you said you understood it, and then you closed yourself off for more than a month."

"You haven't been online this month."

"So, have you really found a way to break through the 'perfect state'? Have you made the breakthrough?"

Babata is also very curious.

Since the time on Earth, Zhou Ning has deviated from the growth trajectory of a normal genius, but through his own practice, he has achieved amazing results.

Babata had seen the growth paths of too many geniuses, but Zhou Ning's growth trajectory was the only one he could not guess.

Last time, Babata didn't understand the shackles that Zhou Ning mentioned about the "perfect state".

However, even if he was trapped in that shackles, Zhou Ning was already considered a top-notch talent in the Qianwu Universe.

If I could break through that shackles
How far can Zhou Ning go?
Babata is also looking forward to it!
Facing the excited Babata, Zhou Ning shook his head and sighed: "Babata, you should supervise Luo Feng more when you have time. You should also give more guidance and training to Hong and Lei Shen."

"By the way, have you ever been to the decisive battle space?"

Babata said casually: "It's okay. Luo Feng has the golden-horned beast in person. I don't need to worry about it for now. I will wait for the decisive battle in the space until their realm improves a little more."

"By then, maybe I can even fight for a more lucrative contract."

Babata said a lot, and suddenly realized that he had been diverted from the topic. He immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Zhou Ning, you haven't told me yet, have you broken through to the perfect realm? Have you broken through?"

beep.

The call was disconnected. Babata was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "Damn it, you dare to hang up my call!"

"Babata, you are talking about something irrelevant."

Zhou Ning was feeling unusually irritated and depressed.

He originally thought that if the origin of his soul was stronger, it would be enough to break through that layer of shackles.

But I didn't expect that this boundary was just like the saying "When the virtue is one foot high, the devil is one foot higher" in Earth culture.

The stronger the origin of the soul, the easier it is to control all power and mystery, the closer you will enter the state of "no thoughts, no emotions, no desires", and the closer you will be to the cold rules of the universe.

The more powerful, the more indifferent.

Of course, Zhou Ning is now taking two paths, one is the normal comprehension field, and the other is to break through the "perfect shackles".

These two roads, in different directions, do not affect each other.

"My speed of comprehending the realm is indeed much faster than before."

"The soul's origin has increased eleven times, but the speed of comprehending the realm has increased dozens of times!"

It took Zhou Ning less than half a year to reach the fourth level of his domain on the Death Planet.

After that, he practiced for another half a year, but the difficulty of each level increased dramatically. Zhou Ning estimated that it would take at least two or three years to reach the fifth level.

But recently, the speed of comprehension has skyrocketed dozens of times.
In this month, he has already vaguely touched the boundary of the fifth level of thunder and lightning realm!

As for physical training.

Zhou Ning exerted a hundred times the strength and gained ultimate control over his body. After being injected with the S-level bloodline evolution agent, his cultivation speed became extremely fast.

With the help of a large number of cultivation treasures from the Black Dragon Mountain branch, he had reached the seventh level of the star level in just one month.

All is well, all is well.

Only the shackles of the "perfect state" are like a thorn in Zhou Ning's heart.

"Relax."

Zhou Ning put away his sword and left the warehouse. He was ready to find another way to calm his mood.

It is magnificent, paved with various crystal gems, and decorated with various beautiful works of art.
The most upscale hotel castle on Bituo Jupiter was indeed something Zhou Ning had rarely seen. Only on Qiulong Star was there a better place than this.

Some of the so-called most luxurious and noble buildings in the history of the earth seem as tacky as the gold kelas in the countryside compared to this place.

Even the waiters here are all beautiful and impeccable in appearance, figure and temperament.

"You're rarely interested in that."

Mo Lian sat on the other side, watching the waitress with perfect temperament and appearance bring dish after dish. She adjusted her sitting position slightly, subconsciously trying to tidy up her demeanor.

Their clothes are so beautiful. Should she buy two dresses? The combat uniform she usually wears is so tacky.

"It is indeed beautiful."

Zhou Ning commented objectively, saying that beautiful things always bring joy to people. At the same time, he ate the delicious food without any hesitation.

The cost of food here is very high, and one meal may cost tens of thousands of Black Dragon Coins, which are considered sky-high prices in the eyes of ordinary stars.

Only those bigwigs with certain power and wealth can afford it.

However, after the meal, Zhou Ning did not find what he wanted.

This place is too perfect, from the architectural decoration to the waiters to the dishes, it is so perfect that it even lacks a sense of reality.

Leave this top hotel castle.

Zhou Ning and Mo Lian stepped into the capital city's most prosperous commercial street, where crowds of people and countless figures were bustling.

Among them, those at the apprentice level are basically natives of Bitto Jupiter.

Those with higher status, more luxurious clothing, and stronger life levels are often tourists from other planets or even other galaxies.

In just a short while, after walking through several kilometers of streets, they saw at least two hundred human races, some with horns on their heads, some with scales or strange markings on parts of their bodies, each different.

The apprentice-level local citizens were clearly from two different worlds compared to those planetary-level, or even occasional stellar-level tourists. Their expressions and behaviors were all respectful and humble.

Zhou Ning and Mo Lian, who are at the seventh level of the star class, are the strongest in terms of strength and status, at least in the area they passed through.

Even alien tourists would naturally avoid them out of respect.

"This service is called 'Life World'?"

"It sounds interesting. How do you play it?"

Mo Lian explained: "This is based on a normal story movie, using the technology of the experience cabin."

"With permission, guests will be hypnotized by bio-electrodes, forgetting their own memories and then loading the memories and perspectives of the movie's protagonists."

"In the virtual world, you can experience a completely real world, where the time span is several months, decades, or even longer."

"In the most classic 'Road to Strength' series, guests will experience a long journey as a newborn, from a weak person to a strong one."

"However, because the 'Road to Power' series is so beautiful, many guests often feel lost when they wake up and regain their memories, and some even break down and cry."

"Some addicts will buy themselves an experience cabin, and then purchase the right to experience 'The Road to Power' forever, forgetting their own memories again and again, and repeatedly indulging themselves in the repetitive story world."

Mo Lian introduced everything to Zhou Ning along the way. At first, Zhou Ning was very surprised. He looked at every building and every industry with either amazement or dislike and disgust.

However, after walking through the streets for more than ten kilometers, the novelty was not so strong anymore.

Here, the scene is probably countless times more exaggerated than the earth's service and entertainment industries, with thousands of categories and countless branches.

But the essence is still to satisfy human desires.

If you indulge in desire, this is indeed a paradise with various forms and you will never get tired of it.

In fact, there are too many ways of entertainment and recreation in the universe to satisfy your desires.

Many citizens of the universe who have some money can easily become addicted to it.

After all, the reality of the universe is very cruel, but the virtual world can satisfy endless desires.

".Aren't you leaving?"

Mo Lian looked at Zhou Ning in confusion. Zhou Ning had already stopped and was quietly watching the crowd and shadowy figures in front of him.

"Don't look at it."

Zhou Ning shook his head.

Desire and emotion are double-edged swords in themselves.

People can gain infinite inspiration and strength from desires.

It is also easy to fall into desire and have one's strength and emotions devoured.

“What are my desires?”

Zhou Ning was in a trance. It seemed that he hadn't felt the power of emotion or the power of the soul for a long time.

Among the countless figures passing by, Zhou Ning seemed to be able to see some of his own shadows in them.

"I want to become stronger!"

"But becoming stronger is not my essential desire."

"Is it the pursuit of wealth?"

"Are you pursuing stability and security?"

"Are you looking for excitement and adventure?"

Zhou Ning stood in the middle of the street, thinking quietly. Mo Lian looked at him helplessly, while the tourists around him spontaneously avoided these two seventh-level star-level powerhouses.

"I want to become stronger, I like wealth, I like stability, and occasionally I like excitement and adventure. These are human nature. I like these, and everyone likes them."

"But this is not the essence of what I am pursuing."

Zhou Ning looked up, on this strange planet, Bedoya, on another planet many light years away from Earth, in a bustling city, among countless people.

He looked up at the universe.

The vast starry sky seemed to be no different from the earth. The infinite darkness was dotted with countless bright stars.

He was in an infinitely vast world.

In this infinitely vast world, people only walk a narrow road in their life, meet so few people, and experience so few things. How can we avoid getting lost, regretting, and having regrets?
Bang!
Brilliant fireworks exploded from a tall, crystal-like building nearby, and countless tiny colorful objects fell down, some floating like snowflakes, and some falling like peanuts.

"Haha." In the distance, a young waitress looked at the fireworks in the sky and laughed happily, but was then severely scolded by someone who looked like the manager.

Zhou Ning subconsciously reached out and caught something that looked like a peanut, and it just lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

"The tiny colored flowers will evaporate on their own. These larger ones are candies. This is a very common colored candy firework."

Mo Lian explained with a smile that most of the tourists around were indifferent, but occasionally someone would curiously take one or two to taste.

She even caught one herself, peeled off the packaging, and gently put it into her mouth.

Mo Lian saw Zhou Ning peel the candy in his hand and put it into his mouth.

This candy.

The lightness in Zhou Ning's heart seemed to have sprouted, fluttering in the air and growing wildly, powerfully and unstoppably breaking through the shackles of his cold and rational state of mind for a long time.

“What are my desires?”

“Suffering, hardship, and pressure.”

“No matter how many difficulties and hardships I encounter, my heart can still be light and cheerful, can be passionate and majestic, and can face everything calmly.”

"In this life, one should live up to one's own conscience."

"Besides this, everything is permitted and all obstacles are gone."

The only thing that can measure the vast universe is an infinite heart!
“No matter how perfect the laws of the universe are, they are still cold, ruthless, and thoughtless.”

"The most valuable thing about a person is a boundless heart, and the most precious thing about a person is a free and strong will!"

"I shouldn't get so close to the law, I shouldn't become the law."

"It's about controlling the laws."

"It's the law, use it for my own benefit!"

The passionate and majestic will returned to Zhou Ning's mind, as if his whole body was filled with infinite power.

Relaxed and high-spirited.

"Mo Lian!"

Zhou Ning suddenly felt that the world around him came alive, and he noticed many things that he had not noticed before.

He pointed in the distance and said, "Is that girl from your Qiyue tribe? She seems to know you. Has she been looking at you?"

Indeed, next to that building, there was a girl with unusually fair skin, whose face was 30% similar to Mo Lian, and she was staring at Mo Lian blankly.
