Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"Let's go, we should head back."

On December 2, 2053, Xu Qiankun, who had been in Australia for half a month, returned to China with the elite of the Fifth War God Battalion.

"Okay, let's go home."

Jiang Ning said excitedly.

Since discovering Wudao Island, Xu Qiankun has forbidden her from sending any messages, which has greatly stimulated her desire to share. She has been eager to show off to Jia Yi, Zhao Yunshan and the others.

Two hours later, in the conference room of the Chinese military headquarters, the seven planetary-level powerhouses gathered.

"Why were we summoned so urgently? Is there something you need?"

Zhao Yunshan, the most impatient of them all, asked, "Just now, I was studying the secret technique 'Heaven and Earth' created by Xu Qiankun when I suddenly received an urgent summons from Jia Yi. I thought it was because some base city in China had encountered another beast tide."

Unexpectedly, an emergency high-level meeting was convened.

"Good thing, and a great thing at that," Jia Yi said with a smile, looking at Xu Qiankun. "Let Qiankun tell us about it."

"Alright," Xu Qiankun stood up. "Please follow me, everyone."

Everyone quickly got up and followed him. Soon the group arrived at the helipad.

The hatch of Xu Qiankun's exclusive Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet opened, and Jiang Ning urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'll take you to see some good stuff."

The group entered the fighter jet with great curiosity, but when they saw the more than two hundred portions of plant spirits stored inside, they all lost their composure.

"Where did all these spirits of plants and trees come from?"

"You've been robbing Hong and Thor's private treasury these past few days?"

"Even Hong and Thor probably don't have this many good things in their private treasuries, right?"

Jia Yi, Zhao Yunshan, Chen Mingtian, Qin Long, and Xu Tian all watched with shining eyes, their expressions filled with excitement.

"There are a total of 223 spirits of plants here. Of these, 156 were found by me and 67 were found by Aunt Jiang."

"According to the military's distribution rules, you get 10% for discovering and reporting treasure, 30% for seizing treasure, and 50% for discovering and seizing treasure on your own..."

Although the military is a collective, it is more committed to fairness than private organizations such as Extreme Martial Arts School and Thunder Martial Arts School.

Moreover, if the military says it belongs to the collective, then it truly belongs to the collective. Even planetary-level beings like them would have to pay a corresponding price to control the treasures in the collective's treasury.

The so-called collective of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy is actually Hong's personal property, which he can dispose of as he pleases.

"These plant spirits aren't very useful to me. I'll pick a few, and you can calculate the merit points for the rest."

Xu Qiankun said with a smile.

"Me too," Jiang Ning said. "I'll pick out a few things that will be useful to my girl, and some that can help my family improve their health and strength. As for the rest, I'll just exchange them all for merit points."

"There are many treasures here that can enhance your spiritual master abilities. Don't you want them?" Jia Yi frowned slightly.

For a faction, the birth of a third-tier planetary-level powerhouse is far more significant than the birth of two or three first-tier planetary-level powerhouses.

Even without establishing the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, or having five inspectors and three personal guards as subordinates, Hong could still single-handedly govern a nation; that is the weight of a strongman.

"Forget it, even if I use these things, they won't improve my strength," Xu Qiankun shook his head slightly. "Besides, I've already put away the most precious plant spirits."

As soon as he finished speaking, sixteen vines grew out from behind him, dancing nimbly in the air.

The plant life form of Moyun Vine is an extremely precious treasure even in the universe, and most universe-level beings or even domain lords do not possess it.

Although Xu Qiankun's talent has been ruined, it is still very precious. If properly nurtured, it still has the opportunity to break through and become immortal.

"What is this?"

When Jia Yi and the others saw sixteen vines suddenly emerge from behind Xu Qiankun, they were startled, and some even immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"Don't be nervous," Jiang Ning said with a smile. "This is a special plant spirit that Qiankun discovered in Australia. Its name is Moyun Vine. It has sixteen vines, each 1600 meters long, and its combat power is extremely terrifying..."

Jiang Ning described the scene of Xu Qiankun's battle with Moyun Teng, and even showed everyone a video she had recorded.

"This thing is actually that powerful?"

Lock on Blue Star 007, lock on, lock on every update of "Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Innate God and Demon Avatar".

The eyes of Jia Yi and the others turned to horror as they looked at the Mo Yun Teng.

They could see that Jiang Ning, whose strength was comparable to that of an ordinary third-tier planetary-level expert after cultivating the secret technique "Qiankun Treasure Scripture", was completely powerless against even a single vine of the Moyun Vine.

"This Cloud-Piercing Vine is probably comparable to a fifth or sixth-tier planetary-level being, right?"

Chen Mingtian looked at Xu Qiankun with a slight glint in his eyes.

Xu Qiankun replied with a smile, "One vine is equivalent to the combat power of a fifth-level planetary-level being. If sixteen vines come together, even an ordinary sixth-level planetary-level being can't withstand them."

"So, Qiankun, your strength..."

Xu Qiankun said calmly.

"What?"

"Already almost as good as Thor?"

"Really?"

But to others, his words sounded like a thunderclap.

Although they used to think Xu Qiankun was the third strongest on Earth, this third was only slightly stronger than East and the Ice Emperor Mohanderson, and was nowhere near Thor or Hong.

However, in just over a month or less, Xu Qiankun's strength had already reached a level comparable to Thor's.

"Of course it's true."

"And this was before I got the Moyun Vine. Now that I have the Moyun Vine to help me, I can fight against Hong."

Mo Yun Teng was originally a numerical-based character, and although his raw strength was far inferior to Hong, who had already condensed a domain, Xu Qiankun also had a domain.

With the clash of domains, without the support of his domain, Hong might be easier to deal with than Thor.

Upon receiving a positive response from Xu Qiankun, Jia Yi and the others became even more excited.

"Qiankun, Jiangning, first select the plant spirits you need. Put the rest into the national treasury, and you will be awarded merit according to their value," Jia Yi said directly.

"it is good"

"no problem"

Xu Qiankun and Jiang Ning quickly selected several portions of plant spirits, and then the group together sent the remaining plant spirits into the treasure vault, where professionals were responsible for calculating merits.

The seven then gathered in the conference room.

Jia Yi spoke first, "Would you mind telling me how you discovered the spirit of plants?"

"Of course, no problem."

Xu Qiankun nodded and then recounted the whole process in detail. Apart from a few key pieces of information, he didn't hide anything.

"You mean that on that small misty island, not only are there more than two hundred plant spirits, but there is also an extremely precious treasure like the Cloud-Piercing Vine?" Zhao Yunshan asked in shock, and the others had similar expressions.

"Indeed," Xu Qiankun nodded solemnly. "I also suspected that there was a secret on that island, but Aunt Jiang and I searched for several days, and even asked the soldiers of the Fifth War God Battalion to help us search, but we found nothing."

"The biggest problem is that we haven't found them," Jia Yi said in a deep voice. "The spirits of plants don't just appear whenever they want; they need to meet many special conditions. And usually, they appear as a single plant. There are more than two hundred of them, which is obviously abnormal."

"Either the environment of that misty island is special, or it nurtures extremely special treasures that can promote the birth and growth of plant spirits, or even... there might be a special ruin hidden there."

"Gentlemen, we must keep this place under our control."

Jia Yi said in a deep voice.

"Agreed"

"agree"

"agree"

Everyone else offered their opinions, and no one raised any objections.

The condition for this plan to be implemented is undoubtedly Xu Qiankun. His strength has increased, and he needs to establish a special base city like Hongning Base City, just like Hong and Lei Shen. It is not a logical conclusion, but it is still reasonable.

Furthermore, given China's current strength, if it were to establish a new base city, especially overseas, its high-level combat capabilities would be somewhat weak.

Therefore, they need to cultivate more planetary-level powerhouses.

"It just so happens that the plant spirits that Qiankun and the others brought back can come in handy," Chen Mingtian said. "Our military has quite a few peak-level War God experts, such as Situ Xiong, Zhu Xiao, and Lin Yue. With the six major base cities combined, finding about ten of them is not difficult."

"Even if someone hasn't reached the peak of the God of War level, we can use the spirits of plants and trees to help them reach that peak."

This isn't a no-go, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Innate God and Demon Avatar":
