Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Lu Yun then turned his gaze back to Ling Xue. This time, he clearly felt the surging yet restrained energy within her.

The ninth level of the Hengxing star system.

"You've improved so quickly," Lu Yun exclaimed sincerely.

Ling Xue looked at Lu Yun, her clear, cold eyes filled with doubt.

She knew better than anyone what Manor 003 represented.

"What exactly happened?" she asked directly.

Just as Lu Yun was about to explain.

“Ding Di—”

His personal computer beeped again with a communication request.

It's Gaode and Su Chen.

Lu Yun simply said to Ling Xue, "Let's talk in the virtual universe."

……

Virtual universe, Wanhu Star Zone, Lake Island.

Inside the pavilion, the figures of the four people coalesced into form almost simultaneously.

As soon as Gao De and Su Chen saw Lu Yun, they excitedly surrounded him.

"Brother Lu, you're really amazing now!" Gao De's face was beaming. "You have no idea, just this afternoon, a family elder called me personally, and his attitude was incredibly friendly! He even said he'd arrange the best resources for my son!"

Su Chen, who was standing to the side, also smiled and nodded, which was a rare occurrence for him.

"Me too, the family has directly promoted me to the level of a core disciple." He looked at Lu Yun with gratitude in his eyes, "We've all benefited from this."

Ling Xue listened quietly, her doubts deepening.

Why would Gao De and Su Chen's families undergo such a big change just because Lu Yun joined the Qianwu Dojo?

This is illogical.

Just then, Gao De looked at Ling Xue, who had a blank expression, chuckled, and said as if presenting a treasure:

"Ling Xue, you don't know yet, do you? I heard from people in the family that Brother Lu comprehended something at the Hengxing level... what's it called again? A domain! Yes, a domain!"

field!

She was surprised.

But then I understood why Lu Yun was here.

Gao De's words made Ling Xue understand.

It turned out to be the case.

However, she wasn't too shocked; in her mind, Lu Yun had always been someone who was hard to understand.

"Soon, you too will reach the ninth level of the Eternal Star Realm," she said directly. "The butler should have already told you."

Lu Yun nodded.

Ling Xue continued, "Here, everything depends on points."

Whether purchasing secret techniques, weapons, or using special training facilities, points are required.

"The main sources of points are going out to carry out missions, or... challenging the Trial Tower."

"Trial Tower?" Lu Yun asked.

"Yes." Ling Xue nodded. "The Trial Tower is where our Qianwu Dojo selects core geniuses. It has nine floors in total."

Those who can pass the fifth level will receive a spot to enter the "Qianwu Secret Realm".

She paused, then added.

"The opponents at the fifth level are those who meet the standard of the fifth level of the domain."

Ling Xue looked at Lu Yun and said, "I'm currently stuck on the second level."

Lu Yun understood.

The Trial Tower is the standard for testing true strength.

Domain One corresponds to the first layer.

The domain has five levels, corresponding to the fifth layer.

Ling Xue's ability to pass the first level indicates that she possesses at least the strength of the first level of the Domain, but she has not yet reached the second level.

"Lu Yun".

Ling Xue suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"Let's have a competition to see who can enter the Qianwu Secret Realm first."

"Okay." Lu Yun smiled and readily agreed.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Butler Mo personally delivered a huge silver-white metal container to Lu Yun's cultivation room.

"Mr. Lu Yun, the nutrient tank is ready."

Lu Yun lay down without hesitation.

The cool nutrient solution quickly enveloped his entire body, and a vast yet gentle energy began to surge wildly into every cell of his body.

time flies.

A month later.

"Click—"

The hatch of the metal compartment slid open silently.

Lu Yun came out from inside.

His aura was many times stronger than it had been a month ago.

Martial arts cultivation, level nine of the constant star level!

Spiritual Master cultivation, Constant Star Level 9!

Breakthrough to the ninth rank of the Constant Star level

[Achievement +200]

...

...

Current Achievement: 13310

The Martial Artist level and the Spiritual Master level each added 1600 achievement points to his achievements.

The various bits and pieces in between.

And the more than 7,000 achievement points from before.

Lu Yun's talent points have exceeded 10,000.

In the next life, you can choose a powerful innate talent.

...

After the breakthrough.

Lu Yun felt an unprecedented surge of power within his body.

With a thought, a virtual light screen unfolded in front of Lu Yun; this was the exclusive interface for core members of the Qianwu Dojo.

Name: Lu Yun

[Identity: Core Seed Member of the Qianwu Dojo - Black Dragon Mountain Branch]

[Strength: Martial Artist (Level 9, Eternal Star), Mentalist (Level 9, Eternal Star)]

Points: 0

His gaze fell directly on the method of obtaining points.

[Trial Tower (Eternal Level)]

First time clearing the first level: 100,000 points reward.

Successfully passing the second level for the first time: Reward: one million points.

First time clearing the third level: Reward: 5 million points.

……

Conquer the fifth level: Reward 50 million points and obtain a candidate spot for the "Qianwu Secret Realm".

Conquer the sixth level: Reward: 100 million points.

The rewards become increasingly astonishing as you progress. Lu Yun's heart stirred, and he immediately opened the redemption list, wanting to see the ultimate use of these massive amounts of points.

Soon, an option under the "Special Permissions" category made his heart race.

[Secret Domain (Permissions)]

Introduction: This secret realm is an independent small world that can evolve space, time, and pure primordial domains such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, wind, and thunder, which can greatly enhance the cultivator's understanding and control of their own domain.

Exchange rate: 1 million points/day.

One million a day!

Lu Yun's breath hitched slightly.

This is practically burning through points, and you can imagine that its effects will be astonishing.

For those who have already mastered a domain, the only way to advance further is through long and arduous practice. This "domain secret realm" undoubtedly provides a shortcut to rapidly improve one's strength.

Lu Yun instantly understood that this was the true core resource of the Qianwu Dojo!

He continued browsing through the dazzling array of categories such as [Weapons] and [Secret Techniques].

[Tier 4 Psychic Weapon - Mountain and Sea Pearls]: Thirty-six pearls, can be combined into formations, combining offense and defense, with a psychic power amplitude of 40 times. Exchange Price: 1.5 million points.

【The Flow of Ten Thousand Threads】: An Immortal-level Spiritual Master's Secret Technique. Exchange Price: Five Million Points.

[Introduction to the Laws of Space]: Written by a great being, to aid in comprehending the origin of space. Exchange Price: 100 million points.

Even a basic understanding of spatial laws requires 100 million points, which is an astronomical figure for him.

Lu Yun was deeply impressed by the profound knowledge and resources of the Qianwu Daoist Temple, and continued to search downwards with his gaze.

A new category, "All Arts," caught his attention.

He directly selected "Weapon Forging".

【The General Outline of Weapon Forging】: Written by the immortal master craftsman, this book elucidates the material properties of everything from ordinary metals to rare cosmic treasures, and explains how to integrate the understanding of laws into the fundamental principles of weapon forging.

Exchange price: one million points.

Lu Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the price.

This "General Principles of Weapon Forging" is practically tailor-made for him!

His mind raced. As long as he made some progress in weapon crafting, even if it was just consistently crafting third-tier psychic weapons, it would be enough to earn him a massive amount of points in the dojo.

This is a sustainable way to earn points!

A plan quickly took shape in his mind: first, challenge the Trial Tower to earn enough starting points to exchange for the "General Principles of Weapon Forging," and then use his weapon forging skills to earn even more points, forming a perfect virtuous cycle.

Lu Yun turned off the light screen in front of him.

He walked straight out of the training room, left the vast manor, and headed towards the Trial Tower.

The buildings of the Qianwu Dojo on this continent, located in the Black Dragon Mountain branch, are not densely packed, and each building is far apart.

Soon, a colossal tower, entirely black and piercing the clouds, appeared at the edge of his vision.

This is the Trial Tower.

In front of the tower is a wide square, where many people are gathered at this moment.

As soon as Lu Yun approached, a tall, cheerful young man noticed him and came to greet him.

"Hey bro, new here?" The young man said with a warm smile.

Lu Yun nodded.

"My name is Raymond, and I live in Manor 002." The young man grinned, appearing quite forthright. "Judging from your direction, you're here to challenge the Trial Tower, right?"

"Mm," Lu Yun replied.

"Haha, I knew it." Raymond seemed very happy. "There are only ten of us living in the manor area in this batch. A batch lasts ten years, and we happen to be in the same batch."

Raymond seemed to have found a companion and became more talkative.

He pointed to the manor area in the distance and lowered his voice, saying, "In our batch, the guy living in number 001 is a freak; he's already cleared the third level. As for me, I'm number 002, and I just cleared the second level not long ago."

"As for numbers 003 to 010, they haven't even passed the second level yet."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yun curiously.

"Brother, you got assigned to Manor No. 003 right away, you must be pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun simply looked calmly at the towering black tower before him.

"You'll only know once you try."

Raymond looked at Lu Yun's calm expression and laughed.

"That's ambitious! Go for it! I'll wait for your news outside," he said cheerfully. "If you get past the first level, remember to buy me a drink!"

"Okay." Lu Yun replied without saying anything more and strode towards the black tower.

The gate to the Trial Tower is a deep and secluded entrance.

As Lu Yun approached the door, a beam of light condensed into a human figure from within the doorway. The figure had no facial features and spoke in a mechanical voice.

"Challenger, please state your identity and the level you are challenging."

This is the intelligent life guardian of the Trial Tower.

"Lu Yun, challenge the first level," Lu Yun said calmly.

A flash of light appeared on the intelligent guard, as if it were verifying information.

"Identity confirmed: Lu Yun, a core member of the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Qianwu Dojo."

"First time trying. There's no queue on the first floor right now, you can go straight in."
