Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 241 Moonlit Pool

"This feels so good! This is what life should be like!"

At the military base, Chu He emerged from the swimming pool, lazily took out a white jade wine flask, and took a big gulp.

The emerald green liquid instantly spread throughout Chu He's body, giving him a tingling sensation.

This emerald green color is the spirit wine brewed with the Azure King as the main ingredient.

It has been about thirty years since I crossed the primitive Tongtian Mountain.

Chu He had assumed that the Bat King and his friend would contact him soon, but to his surprise…

After asking in person, I learned that the "recently" that the Bat King mentioned referred to was within the last hundred years.

Now, Chu He finally realized what was happening!

In the eyes of most peak-level kings, a hundred or two hundred years is considered a short time.

He, on the other hand, was still somewhat unaccustomed to this concept of time because he had cultivated too quickly.

However, after more than 30 years of rest, Chuhe has gradually become familiar with this concept of time.

After thirty years, the white jade wine pot has finally been upgraded to the level of a cosmic venerable.

The constant flow of time within the wine jug is 100 times that of the primordial universe, and the energy consumed can increase it by another 100 times, which is 10,000 times the flow of time of the primordial universe!
A time flow rate ten thousand times faster, almost equivalent to that of the Beast God Realm.

The so-called Beast God Realm is actually a world within the primordial universe specifically for cultivating powerful individuals of the Beast God lineage.

It is also the true stronghold of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, and even the geniuses of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance rarely have the opportunity to enter it.

The Beast God Realm has a time flow rate of 1:10081 compared to the primordial universe.

In other words, under full acceleration, the flow of time in the Pot Heaven World is almost the same as that in the Beast God Realm, so Chu He is essentially carrying a Beast God Realm with him.

Of course, Chu He couldn't get his hands on the statues of all the various beast gods in the Beast God Realm.

In his world of pots and pans, there are many fine wines being brewed at all times, as well as a great many spiritual plants.

In fact, there are similar treasures among human races, such as the [Time Palace].

However, treasures like the Time Palace can generally only be created by a universe master who has fully comprehended the laws of space and time.

Moreover, this kind of Time Palace that is created is actually just a place for cultivation, only the flow of time is faster.

It is not a small world like the Beast God Realm or the Pot Heaven World.

More importantly, the time acceleration effect of the Temple of Time is extremely limited, mostly increasing the flow of time by several times or tens of times.

Ten years of cultivation within it is equivalent to one month passing outside.

Moreover, as far as Chu He knows, these Time Palaces are extremely expensive!

Acceleration by 10 times or 100 times is normal, while acceleration by 1,000 times is already astronomical.

Accelerate by ten thousand times...

There is no such Time Palace among the human race at all.

However, the white jade wine pot can now be said to have reached the pinnacle of what Chu He can enhance.

Further on, even spacetime materials could no longer enhance it.

Only after Chu He himself reaches the level of the Lord of the Universe in his understanding of the laws of space and time can he use his own understanding of the laws to comprehend the secret patterns in the white jade wine pot and gradually master them.

Fortunately, the white jade wine pot is now more than enough for Chuhe.

For example, the three peak-level kings, Biyou King, Tailing King, and Jinling King, have already been brewed into spirit wine.

The Azure King wine, brewed primarily with Azure King as the main ingredient, is entirely emerald green. When consumed, it can assist Chu He in comprehending the laws of space and water, and leaves a slightly tingling sensation after drinking.

I wonder if it's because the venomous snakes are poisonous...

Moreover, unlike creatures like Tai Ling Wang and Jin Ling Wang, which are not large in size, Bi You Wang's snake body, which is several kilometers long, produces an astonishing total quantity of spirit wine after being brewed!
Chu He has had a drink whenever he had a spare moment over the past thirty years, and he still hasn't finished this Biyou wine!
On the contrary, Tai Ling wine and Jin Ling wine were consumed by Chu He as early as ten years ago.

At this point, Chu He had finally comprehended the complete laws of metal, wood, and water.

Regarding the laws of water, Chu He already possessed an extremely profound and solid foundation of understanding of these laws. Therefore, although he had not yet finished drinking the Azure Wine, he had already fully comprehended the laws of water.

On the contrary, it's the laws of space...

The three peak-level kings, Biyou King, Tailing King, and Jinling King, all comprehended the spatial laws in the direction of [teleportation].

Even if there are some differences, it is because King Tailing has a slight understanding of the [space sealing] aspect.

Therefore, compared to more than 30 years ago, Chu He has once again grasped the concept of [teleportation].

It can be said that if Chu He could comprehend the [Spatial Strangulation] part, he would possess the understanding of the laws of a Space Venerable at the World Lord level!

Of course, it's merely a comprehension of the laws.

In terms of actual combat strength, they are still far from being able to achieve that.

Even the most ordinary Universe Venerable possesses a base power one hundred million times that of a peak World Lord!
"Glug!" Chu He took another big gulp of Biyou wine.

In this tingling and numb state, Chu He became languid.

"Hmm... I've now grasped the complete laws of metal, wood, and water. I'm still far from understanding the lower-level laws of all spatial laws, as well as the laws of fire and earth." Chu He soaked in the pool, his mind wandering.

"The immortality of the laws of fire and earth...tsk! It's a pity that the King of Anlu got away!"

"Wait a minute!"

"If only we could gather the wind, lightning, and light elements related to the laws of time..."

"Never mind, never mind." Chu He shook his head abruptly.

The fusion of ten elemental laws is something he can't touch right now!

At the very least, one must be a master of the universe before they can spend time studying it.

If you act recklessly while you're still a Realm Lord, you might accidentally waste your lifespan.

"We still need to go to the Ancestral God Sect as soon as possible and try to create an ultimate technique based on the fusion of water and space!"

"Once I create another Nine Nether Blood Sea clone, I'm afraid only a technique of this level can break through the shackles of the original core..."

……

Hongmeng City, Jiuxiang Palace.

In a secret room on the second floor, Chu He, King Wei Fu, and King Lei Long sat separately.

Looking at the Mighty Bat King and Thunder Dragon King on his left and right sides, Chu He couldn't help but sigh.

When Chu He first learned that King Wei Fu and his friend were both from the Yu Bao Tang, he was quite surprised.

In this Hongmeng City, even the weakest residents are at least at the level of a king.

A city where countless powerful individuals gather naturally becomes a place where wealth accumulates and circulates.

There are shops of all kinds of businesses, and at the very least, only those backed by the Supreme Being of the Universe can be built.

Yu Bao Tang, where Thunder Dragon King and Mighty Bat King work, is the best among the many shops in Hongmeng City.

It's also the shop where Luo Feng bought the golden armor in the original novel.

In fact, the golden-armored figure is currently inside Yu Baotang, and Chu He has personally witnessed it.

However, he had no need for the golden armor. Besides, he couldn't wear it anyway.

The powerful figure behind Yu Baotang is the Dragon Lord of the human race.

The Nine Fragrances Hall, where they are currently located, is a large restaurant.

Behind the Nine Fragrance Palace, there is also a cosmic venerable from another race.

“King of Calamity, you must know some legends about the Zhuyue Starfield.”

In the secret chamber, the Thunder Dragon King spoke first.

"The legend of the Zhuyue Starfield?" Chu He was taken aback. "You mean... the Moonlit Pool?"

“Yes!” Thunder Dragon King and Mighty Bat King nodded solemnly.

“I have indeed heard some things…” Chu He nodded and said, “Back when the Fifth Battlefield was opened, all four major clans sent out powerful individuals to sweep across many areas and open up battlefields.”

"The Zhuyue Clan, who originally lived in the Zhuyue Starfield, once joined forces with the Jiuhua Clan to rebel, but in the end they were all slaughtered." "As for this Moonlit Pool... if I remember correctly, it was a large survival base for the Zhuyue Clan and the Jiuhua Clan."

"You came looking for me because you've discovered the Moonlit Pool?" Chu He couldn't help but ask.

Thunder Dragon King and Mighty Bat King's expressions remained unchanged as they nodded solemnly.

"hiss!"

Chuhe suddenly stood up!

His eyes were fixed on the two of them: "You're not lying to me? This kind of stroke of good fortune falling from the sky... this kind of incredible luck, you would choose to include me?"

King Bat looked at King Thunder Dragon, who said solemnly, "I'm not lying to you."

"What exactly is the situation?" Chu He looked at Lei Longwang with a furrowed brow.

"We may be friends, but our relationship isn't that close, is it?"

"That's the Moonlit Pool!"

"The Moonlit Pool contains treasures belonging to two different races!"

"Although only a small portion of the Moonlit Pool is available each month, it is still a huge fortune for a King-level cultivator. Even a Universe Venerable would be tempted by it!"

“You’re right, even friends wouldn’t give away so much wealth and treasures.” Thunder Dragon King smiled. “However, both Mighty Bat King and I are good friends with Suspended Mirror King.”

"Before confirming it was you, we had inquired about you with the King of Suspended Mirrors."

Chu He's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Is she a friend of the teacher?

I'll ask the teacher later!

If what they say is true, then we can increase our level of trust a bit.

but……

"Why did you choose me?" Chu He asked again.

Lei Longwang calmly pulled up a video.

The image above depicts the battle in which he was besieged by the eighteen kings.

"This is a recording I made of your last battle," the Thunder Dragon King said solemnly. "I invited you because of your fighting prowess!"

"To be honest, this trip to Moonflower Pool wasn't just about the three of us; there was also another alien race with us!"

"Back then, I fought against an enemy from another race, and I used every means at my disposal!"

"We were both at the limit of the King-level realm. After a battle, space naturally shattered. We fought and ran around randomly, and accidentally discovered the [Moonlight Pool] hidden in the core of a planet!"

"The Moonlit Pool is built at the core of the planet, and it was constructed using some mysterious and unpredictable method that even the Venerable Ones of the Universe cannot detect or destroy."

"Neither I nor my opponent could forcibly take it."

"However, on the planet where Moonflower Pool is located, both my opponent and I discovered some corpses of the Zhuyue Clan and the Jiuhua Clan."

"From those corpses, both my alien adversary and I discovered the tokens for entering the Moonlit Pool: a golden lotus-shaped jade stone."

"Lotus shape?" Chu He raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but think of the Red Lotus Star in the Primal Secret Realm.

However, this was only fleeting.

The Thunder Dragon King continued, "They are indeed lotus-shaped. My opponent and I immediately began to fight over these tokens. Unfortunately, although I was stronger, he arrived first and still managed to snatch five, while I only managed to get four."

"I see..." Chu He nodded. "That means there are a total of nine tokens, four on our side and five on the enemy's side!"

"Can only one person be brought in with each token?"

“That’s right!” At this point, the Thunder Dragon King shook his head helplessly and said, “Not only that, but to enter the Moonlit Pool, all nine tokens must be thrown into the pool together!”

"However, the problem is that I have four lotus flowers, so I can only bring four people, while the other side has five, so they can bring five people..."

At this point, the Thunder Dragon King also became somewhat irritated.

Five against four...

On the battlefields beyond the realm, the strongest beings that can be found are generally those who have reached the limit of becoming a King!

Beings like Feng Wang Wudi usually cultivate diligently within their clan and are too lazy to waste time on the battlefield outside the domain.

In other words, they are using four King-level Limit Breakers to fight against the enemy's five King-level Limit Breakers!

This was absolutely a dangerous decision.

“King of Calamity, I understand your concerns,” Thunder Dragon King said with a wry smile. “To be honest, coming to you is my last resort.”

"If you don't agree, I think I might sell these lotus jade stones, or hand them over to some cosmic venerable one..."

"In short, although it is just a Moon Essence Pool, it contains the treasures of two major races, which are definitely comparable to the wealth of a Universe Venerable!"

"Besides, even if we're one person fewer, we might still be able to defeat them. Moreover, who knows what traps might be hidden in that Moonlit Pool..."

Thunder Dragon King repeatedly urged, "I'm prepared to take this risk to obtain such a treasure!"

"King of Calamity, are you going or not?"

Chu He grinned: "If you don't seize what Heaven has given you, you'll only suffer the consequences!"

"Of course I'll go!"

Chu He believed that he had an extremely strong ability to protect himself. Moreover, after he was able to use [Teleport] not long ago, he was even more adept at manipulating the Five-Colored Void Lotus Platform, and his speed was much faster than before!
What's more, there's also the poisoned wine [Purple Smoke Cold]!
How many blows can a mere few King-level limits withstand?

"Great!" Thunder Dragon King slammed his hand on the table, overjoyed. "With you joining us, let's go find the last one, Flowing Light King!"

"The King of Flowing Light?" Chu He raised an eyebrow slightly.

Good guy!
The Thunder Dragon King's choice of personnel is really interesting!
King Bat, King Thunder Dragon, King Flowing Light—each faster than the last, plus myself, the fastest of all…

It seems they're prepared to run away if they can't win!
Through the contact made by King Bat, the three finally found King Flowing Light.

King Liuguang is currently gambling at the [Puya Palace].

Most strong individuals possess an adventurous nature, and their long lives are relatively uneventful...

Therefore, the only casino in Hongmeng City, Puya Palace, was established.

The only casino in Hongmeng City!

With such a large flow of people, even just taking money from a gift can make a fortune!
Therefore, it is said that there is more than one master behind this Puya Palace.

As for who it was, even Chu He didn't know.

After bringing the King of Flowing Light to the Nine Fragrance Palace.

In a secret room, King Wei Fu, King Lei Long, King Liu Guang, and Chu He sat separately.

Like the Thunder Dragon King and the Mighty Bat King, the Radiant King, though not human, belonged to the human camp and had a good relationship with the Mighty Bat King and the Thunder Dragon King.

Thunder Dragon King recounted the story of Moonlit Pool once more.

"Go!" King Liuguang slammed his fist on the table. "Fortune favors the bold!"

"With such an opportunity, how can we not seize it?"

"Although there are indeed dangers, and they are probably similar to those extremely dangerous cosmic secret realms, the rewards are far greater than those secret realms!"

"I dare to venture into secret realms, so what's there to be afraid of in a Moon Essence Pool!"

"Good." The Thunder Dragon King seemed very excited. "We are all quite strong, and our speed is fast enough!"

"Even if we don't manage to grab much treasure in the end, we'll definitely be able to leave safely!"

King Liuguang readily agreed, but soon raised a question: "Should the treasure be divided equally, or should it be kept by whoever gets it first?"

Thunder Dragon King glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Let's divide the treasure equally."

"As for the spoils on the other side... whoever manages to steal them keeps them!"

The other three exchanged glances and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
