Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Chapter 79 The Grand Elder

As night fell, Gao Sheng stood at the edge of the waterfall, gazing up at the glow of the sunset.

"Tiger Star is indeed a good place for cultivation."

Dream Castle is too small and is no longer suitable for a spiritualist of the Hengxing level to cultivate. Even without the clan leader's email, Gao Sheng was originally planning to come to Weihu Star.

It's spacious and safe enough here.

"rise!"

Twelve short needles on Gao Sheng's right shoulder flew up and connected end to end in mid-air.

"Freeze!"

The mental energy traveled along the mysterious laws and patterns inside the short needle, and strands of mental energy connected with the laws and patterns of the surrounding space, gradually forming a small, fiery red snake.

"go!"

The little snake suddenly darted out, but it collapsed halfway through, scattering back into twelve short needles.

"That's difficult?" Gao Sheng's face flushed red. "Let's try again!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ai said in Gao Sheng's consciousness, "Master, your current understanding of the laws and the strength of your consciousness are definitely enough to unleash the first level of the 'Fire Serpent Style'."

"All you need to do now is get familiar with it, practice it thousands of times, and once you combine and activate this first level into a subconscious action that requires no thought, you will be able to control it easily."

Gao Sheng asked in surprise, "Xiao Ai, you even know how to cultivate?"

Xiao Ai giggled and said, "I didn't understand at first, but the teacher will teach me. Also, don't bother the teacher unless it's important. I'll take care of everything."

The secret passage to promotion is good, isn't it?

-----------------

The Milky Way, Mars.

A colossal beast, over a kilometer long, stood proudly, its cold, dark golden eyes now filled with excitement, and the golden runes on its scales faintly glowing.

A hazy golden domain enveloped the golden-horned behemoth.

"Is this the domain?"

After calming down, the golden-horned behemoth could faintly sense the strange fluctuations behind the golden energy!

That is a fluctuation from the very origin of the vast universe!

"This is... the Law of Gold!"

Under normal circumstances, one can only vaguely sense the corresponding fluctuations after reaching the eighth or ninth level of the domain.

Luo Feng, with only one level of his domain, was able to vaguely sense it.

This is the Golden Horned Beast, the pinnacle of bloodlines in the universe.

With the Golden Horned Beast entering the cosmic realm, Luo Feng is finally about to begin his extraordinary legend.

More than four months later.

On the first continent of Weihu Star, there is a five-story tower, the only building on the continent.

Inside the massive hall on the first floor of the tower, a tall, thin middle-aged man in a blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, staring ahead with a cold tone.

"Now that I'm in charge of Weihu Star, my main focus will be on the training camp. With the planet's defense level upgraded, there will be more tasks to handle, so I need everyone to be diligent and not slack off."

"Yes, Elder!" the nine cosmic-level beings in the hall replied in unison.

The tall, thin middle-aged man nodded slightly. "Alright, go ahead. Gao Sheng, you stay."

The nine cosmic-level elders bowed and left, each flying towards the second and third continents, leaving only the tall, thin man and Gao Sheng behind.

The man in the green robe was named Talo, one of the two other domain lords of the Wei Di family besides the patriarch, and a seventh-level domain lord-level mentalist.

This time, I rushed back to Weihu Star from the distant Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

"Follow me." Talo flew out of the hall and slowly flew north, and Gao Sheng quickly followed.

In less than two minutes, they flew into a huge volcanic crater.

The huge pit had a dark reddish-brown surface, and you could feel the rolling lava churning beneath your feet.

"You can cultivate here from now on. The fire energy is more abundant here, and it will be easier for you to comprehend the laws of fire," the man in the green robe said as he landed.

"Yes, Elder." Gao Sheng replied respectfully. In fact, Gao Sheng had been cultivating here for the past few months.

"There's no need to be so formal." Talo waved his hand. "Our ancestor has fallen. Besides the clan leader and the two domain lords, only you know about this for now."

Seeing that Gao Sheng seemed slightly puzzled, Talo continued, "With the ancestor gone, the Wei Di family can no longer be considered among the sixteen great realm lord families. Although we won't publicize it, this matter can't be kept secret for long. In a few years, the family's situation will become difficult."

Gao Sheng nodded. It's normal. You reap what you sow. After all, the Wei Di family hasn't established a country, and without a realm lord, their family territory and commercial influence will quickly decline.

Becoming a lord of a planetary territory doesn't guarantee everything will be smooth sailing. Others have plenty of ways to legally restrict and suppress you, preventing you from gaining any benefits and ultimately forcing you to sell your territory at a low price.

There are also various mineral planets and interstellar trade, which require even greater strength to support them.

What do these so-called grassroots organizations like Sanfushan Baihulou do? They're basically just banding together to compete for profit, just like gangs in a planetary society.

Elder Talo then changed the subject: "But now there's an opportunity, and it's you!"

Gao Sheng was taken aback.

"Are you aware of the ultimate battle between the two greatest human powers in the universe?" Talo asked, looking at Gao Sheng.

"A battle of ultimate geniuses?"

Talo nodded: "It seems you are also quite interested in family intelligence. That's right, the once-in-5000-years Peak Genius Battle is about to begin. This time, it is being hosted by the Virtual Universe Company."

"Each battle of geniuses and battle of the strong takes many years to prepare, so it's normal for the timing to vary by a few years. So it's hard to say the exact time, but it's within the next ten years."

"As long as you can stand out in the Genius Battle, such as making a name for yourself in the preliminaries, or even entering the top 1000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, or entering the Qianwu Secret Realm, etc."

Talo solemnly said, "Gaining the attention of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom will benefit the entire family. All suppression will vanish, and it will be an opportunity for our family to develop rapidly."

"I will definitely work hard," Gao Sheng said, sweating.

Seemingly guessing what Gao Sheng was thinking, Talo continued, "You don't need to underestimate yourself. This Cosmic Human Genius Battle is broadcast live to all of humanity, and can be called a grand festival for all mankind. I have watched it many times. As for the Star-level comprehension of laws, I guess there shouldn't be another one like it in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Entering the top 1,000 in the Cosmic Kingdom shouldn't be too difficult for you."

"However, comprehending the laws is one thing, and whether it can be transformed into combat power is another. So, I'm here to train those elites, but mainly to train you," Talo smiled.

"Yes!" Gao Sheng was also delighted. The Grand Elder was not only a domain lord but also a spiritual master. His guidance would probably be even more helpful than that of the clan leader.

"Now, use every trick in the book to attack me!" Talo shouted.

"yes!"
