"After secluding myself for a full year and two months, both my Space Domain and Water Domain have broken through to the ninth level. I've also crossed the threshold of both the Space Origin Laws and Water Origin Laws, while my cultivation has long since reached the ninth level of the Planetary level. It's time to break through to the Stellar Level..."
This time, Yue Ming had remained in seclusion for more than a year. His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Planetary level half a year ago, but he had been at a crucial stage in comprehending the Origin Laws then, so he postponed his breakthrough to the Stellar Level.
Level: Planetary level ninth level (first rank) Realm: Water Origin Laws 1%, Space Origin Laws 1% Genes: 100 times Force Exertion: 7 times Secret Technique: None
According to Yue Ming's understanding, comprehending a trace of an Origin Law was equivalent to grasping only a tiny superficial part of it. Only when one's comprehension progress reached 1% could one be considered to have truly crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws, equivalent to the One-Line Stream of the Myriad-Line Stream cultivated by Luo Feng in the original work.
"Now that I've crossed the threshold of both Origin Laws, although I have a divine spark to assist my comprehension and don't need auxiliary secret techniques for comprehending Origin Laws, I still need an offensive secret technique for the Water-Void Fusion Law. Only then can I maximize my combat strength. Unfortunately, Earth has no Water-Void fusion offensive secret techniques at all. Fusion Law offensive secret techniques are extremely precious even in the universe. I'm afraid I'll only have a chance to obtain one after joining the Virtual Universe Company..."
However, Yue Ming had only just crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws. He was still far from cultivating the first level of the Water-Void Fusion Law, because to cultivate its first level, his comprehension progress in both the Water Origin Laws and Space Origin Laws had to reach at least 15%.
By the same logic, the second level of the Water-Void Fusion Law required 30%, the third 45%, the fourth 60%, the fifth 75%, the sixth 90%, and the seventh 100%.
These were merely the minimum requirements for cultivating a Fusion Law. Yet cultivating a Fusion Law was not easy. Even a venerable who had comprehended one lower law to 100% and one higher law to 100% might not necessarily be able to cultivate even the first level of a Fusion Law.
"Purchase ten kilograms of Ancestral Tree Spirit Liquid!"
"Deducting 30 billion points."
Yue Ming opened the Chat Group Mall and purchased a second-rank treasure called Ancestral Tree Spirit Liquid. It was the most cost-effective spiritual liquid he had found in the Chat Group Mall, and also the one best suited for Stellar Level warriors to cultivate with.
Rumble—
After Yue Ming consumed the Ancestral Tree Spirit Liquid, the nine miniature planets in his dantian began spinning at high speed. In the end, they collided with one another and exploded, but as enormous amounts of life energy poured in, all the matter slowly gathered into a single star.
Compared to the original miniature planets, this star was not only more than ten times larger in volume, but its density and mass far surpassed theirs. The magnetic field emitted by the star was also more than ten times stronger than that of the miniature planets.
If Planetary level warriors possessed their own miniature planets, whose magnetic fields could offset a planet's gravity and allow them to fly within the planet's atmosphere, then Stellar Level warriors could completely break free of planetary gravity, break through the atmosphere and enter outer space, and even survive briefly in space.
Level: Stellar Level first level (second rank) Realm: Water Origin Laws 1%, Space Origin Laws 1% Genes: 100 times Force Exertion: 7 times Secret Technique: None
After Yue Ming broke through to the Stellar Level, the level displayed on the Attribute Panel changed accordingly. According to the Myriad Realms Rank classification, he was now second rank. At the very least, he was no longer the weakest in the Chat Group, successfully advancing to become one of the weakest.
Just as Yue Ming was stabilizing his realm, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind. Someone had tagged him in the Chat Group. When he logged in, he discovered that aside from Zhuo Fan from the strange world and Sect Master Tongtian, every other group member was online. Such a situation was rare.
Come to think of it, he had not chatted in the group for more than half a year. During the first few months of his seclusion, he occasionally took breaks and chatted with everyone in the Chat Group. Later, in order to cross the threshold of the Origin Laws in one go, he directly remained in seclusion for over half a year.
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Rank: [Everyone's actually online. That's really rare. It looks like you're all discussing Zhuo Fan. Did something happen to him?]
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Rank: [We are indeed discussing Zhuo Fan. Didn't you notice that Zhuo Fan's name has already turned gray?]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Rank: [You mean Zhuo Fan died? How did he die?]
[Shrouding the Heavens] Lu Ming · Third Rank: [There's a death replay on the Chat Group's public screen. Go take a look for yourself. This is something we all need to take as a warning. Since the Chat Group was created, he's the first member to die...]
Yue Ming exited the chat window and entered the Chat Group's public screen, where he found Zhuo Fan's death replay. It turned out Zhuo Fan had not been killed by anyone. Instead, he had run into a powerful strange entity through sheer bad luck. Not a single one of the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city had survived.
That strange entity was extremely powerful. It looked like a rotten giant eye and radiated a terrifying, ominous aura. Judging from the strength it displayed in the video, it was probably at least comparable to third rank. No wonder Zhuo Fan had not even been able to escape.
"The strange world is far too dangerous. Zhuo Fan was really unlucky..."
Judging from the video replay, that strange entity seemed to have merely been passing through rather than deliberately going there to massacre the city. Zhuo Fan could only be called terribly unlucky—or perhaps the strange world was simply too dangerous. By comparison, the Swallowed Star world was much better.
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Rank: [I watched the death replay. It's a pity about Zhuo Fan, but does the Chat Group have no way to revive him?]
[A Realm of Gods] Li Shanhe · Fifth Rank: [There are many ways to revive someone. The Chat Group Mall has plenty of treasures capable of reviving living beings, but those treasures require Origin Points to purchase, and their prices are outrageously high. Another way is to ask the Sect Master to act, but according to the rules of the Chat Group—or rather, the rules of the Lineage of Transmigrators—asking a ninth-rank transcendent to act once requires at least a hundred million Origin Points. That's even more expensive than buying a treasure to revive him...]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Rank: [All right! Maybe I was overthinking it.]
Yue Ming did not truly care about another person's life or death. He had only chatted with Zhuo Fan a few times. Claiming they had a particularly good relationship would have been nonsense! What he truly wanted to know was whether Sect Master Tongtian, as the Chat Group's leader, would revive group members after they died.
After all, reviving a second-rank cultivator posed no difficulty whatsoever for a ninth-rank transcendent. But now, it seemed he had overthought it. Sect Master Tongtian simply would not care about such a trivial matter. Zhuo Fan had already died, yet Sect Master Tongtian had not even logged in to take a look, had he?
[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Rank: [I only just noticed that you've already broken through to second rank, Yue Ming. Your breakthrough speed is way too fast, isn't it? I remember you've only been in the Chat Group for a little over three years in total...]
[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Second Rank: [To be precise, less than two years have passed since I transmigrated into the Swallowed Star world and joined the Chat Group. Time should pass faster in the A Mortal's Cultivation Journey world than in the Swallowed Star world.]
