Water Domain

"One hundred seventy-eight Spirits of Plants and Trees only sold for 35 points. On average, it took five Spirits of Plants and Trees to exchange for a single point..."

There were many treasures similar to Spirits of Plants and Trees in the Chat Group Mall. Back when Yue Ming had been breaking through to peak High-level War God, he had spent 3 points to buy six Hearts of the Sunflower Tree. He had never expected that selling them to the Chat Group Mall would require five Spirits of Plants and Trees just to earn 1 point.

In theory, the Chat Group Mall only took a 20% cut. The difference between the two should not have been this great. This could only mean that treasures similar to Spirits of Plants and Trees in the Chat Group Mall far surpassed those on Mist Island in quality.

Swallowed Star - Yue Ming

Level: First Order (collapsed)

Golden Finger: Law Fusion Device

Points: 41

After selling all the Spirits of Plants and Trees, Yue Ming opened his Attribute Panel. Including the 6 points he had left over, he now had 41 points in total. That was enough for him to break through to the Third Order Planetary Level, with some points to spare.

Yue Ming did not plan to return to Jiangnan Base City. Instead, he casually found a quiet place on the Australian continent to enter seclusion. Afterward, he planned to spend some time cultivating by the sea and practicing the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art.

When he had purchased the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art from the Chat Group Mall, its description had stated that the Heavenly Severing Swordsman had practiced his swordsmanship in the sea. In the end, he comprehended the meaning of "a mayfly entrusted between heaven and earth, a single grain in the vast sea," and thus created this sword art.

Yue Ming had long since cultivated the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art to great mastery, yet he had always been just short of comprehending its artistic conception. This time, he intended to cultivate in seclusion by the sea in hopes of breaking through the bottleneck and grasping the true essence of the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art.

"Better cultivate with Dragon Crystal Rice!"

Entering the Chat Group Mall, Yue Ming spent 12 points to directly purchase six grains of Dragon Crystal Rice. He then spent half a day refining them, successfully breaking through to the Second Order Planetary Level. After that, he spent another three days stabilizing his realm.

Perhaps this was the difference between Dragon Crystal Rice and Wood Tooth Crystals. The life energy contained within Dragon Crystal Rice was extremely pure, making it very easy to refine and absorb. He had refined six grains in only half a day, unlike Wood Tooth Crystals, where refining even one took over a month.

After breaking through to the Second Order Planetary Level, Yue Ming had no intention of resting. He planned to press onward and break through to the Third Order Planetary Level in one go. He directly spent 24 points to purchase twelve grains of Dragon Crystal Rice, then spent another day refining them all, successfully breaking through to the Third Order Planetary Level.

In the Swallowed Star world, breakthroughs in minor realms were merely a matter of energy accumulation. The geniuses of the Human Race's Five Great Powers all soaked in nutrient pods, directly advancing from the First Order to the peak of the Ninth Order. They did not need to cultivate bitterly like ordinary cultivators.

"Only 5 points left."

Breaking through from the First Order Planetary Level to the Third Order Planetary Level had cost him 36 points. Only 5 points remained on his Attribute Panel. However, although Yue Ming had only just reached the Third Order Planetary Level, his base strength had already reached 24 million kilograms, comparable to the peak of the Fourth Order Planetary Level.

On Earth, such strength placed him below only Hong, Thor, and the two Beast Emperors. The two Beast Emperors spent almost all year in the depths of the ocean and generally would not come near the shore, so Yue Ming could cultivate by the sea without worry.

After spending a week stabilizing his realm, Yue Ming flew through the air to the coast. Looking down at the vast ocean, where sea and sky merged and waves rose and fell endlessly, even he could not help feeling his heart open at the magnificent sight.

Yue Ming did not begin cultivating immediately. Instead, he cleared out all the monsters in the surrounding area before beginning his secluded cultivation on the seabed. While the surface was turbulent with crashing waves, the depths below were relatively calm, with only streams of undercurrents.

At first, Yue Ming was somewhat unaccustomed to it. When using the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art, he could barely keep his sword moves from deforming. It took him half an hour to gradually adapt, but his sword techniques were still far less smooth and natural than they were on land.

Only after cultivating on the seabed for several days could Yue Ming finally perform his sword art as usual. Every swing of his sword carried a peculiar fluctuation, drawing and shifting the undercurrents beneath the sea before turning them to his own use. His sword techniques also became increasingly smooth and effortless.

"Buzz, buzz~"

As time passed, two months went by in the blink of an eye. Yue Ming continued to train diligently on the seabed. By now, his swordsmanship had changed dramatically. Every swing of his sword triggered a ringing hum, and every strike carried a unique artistic conception.

Clearly, Yue Ming had cultivated the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art to perfection and comprehended its true essence. However, he did not intend to return just yet. He planned to continue cultivating in seclusion on the seabed, because he felt that he was not far from comprehending a domain.

Cultivating in the sea had produced unexpectedly good results. The only trouble was that he had to clear out the monsters every ten days or so. Before he knew it, another four months had passed. It had now been six months since Yue Ming began cultivating in seclusion on the seabed.

On this day, Yue Ming practiced his swordsmanship on the seabed as usual. His mind gradually immersed itself in his insights, and before he realized it, he entered a mysterious state, as though his entire being had merged with heaven and earth.

The miniature planet in Yue Ming's dantian, his Gene Source Energy, the universe of heaven and earth, and his artistic conception seemed to merge together, forming a special resonance and an intimate connection. In the end, they naturally reached a state of unity and harmony.

The space around Yue Ming began to distort. Strands of watery ripples flickered into view and rapidly spread outward, eventually forming a blue, special region roughly a hundred meters in diameter. This special region was a domain.

"After half a year of hard cultivation, I've finally comprehended a domain!"

Yue Ming slowly opened his eyes and felt the newly born domain. At this moment, he felt better than ever before. His six months of secluded cultivation on the seabed had not been in vain. At last, he had comprehended a domain of his own as he wished.

Level: Third Order Planetary Level (First Order)

Realm: First Layer of the Water Domain

Genes: 3 times

Force: 5 times

Secret Technique: None

Perhaps because he had practiced the Vast Sea, Single Grain Sword Art and comprehended the artistic conception of the vast sea, the domain Yue Ming had comprehended was actually the Water Domain. Originally, he had thought that since his special ability was Space Control, the first domain he would comprehend would be the Space Domain.

"Since I've comprehended the Water Domain, my future path of cultivation can basically be set as the path of Water and Space Law fusion."

In truth, Yue Ming did not care much about which fusion path he took. With the Law Fusion Device, his ultimate goal was to fuse the Ten Great Laws and eventually evolve them into the Chaos Law. The fusion of Water and Space Laws was merely the beginning.

"It's time to go to Bermuda!"

After comprehending the Water Domain, Yue Ming's strength had soared more than tenfold. On all of Earth, probably only Hong could firmly suppress him now. He dared to enter the deep sea, and even if he encountered the two Beast Emperors, he could defeat them in battle.

But only defeat them in battle. Killing the two Beast Emperors in the ocean was far too difficult. Even Hong could not accomplish it. Otherwise, Hong would have slaughtered the two Beast Emperors long ago instead of signing a contract with them.
