Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

The mansion where Lin Ye was located was a star fragment numbered 294792739.

This continent is approximately 64,000 kilometers in diameter, several times the size of Earth.

However, unlike the spherical shape of Earth, this star fragment is a complete and irregular rectangle, spreading out to be extremely vast.

No one would have imagined that such a large piece of cosmic star would only be the territory of a member of the Primal Secret Realm.

It's simply extravagant!

Within the mansion, there is a thousand-man guard team.

The burly man at the head is none other than Carlos, the Skyfire Marquis, a former follower of Venerable Fenchen.

The ten generals behind him are all powerful individuals at the ninth level of the Realm Lord stage.

Each Realm Lord has a mark between their eyebrows that emits a strong aura of the origin laws, displaying formidable power.

Behind these Realm Lords.

Closely following them are the squad leaders, consisting of a hundred Domain Lord-level experts, leading a thousand Universe-level warriors.

The above is the distribution of strength within Lin Ye's guard team. This guard lineup is terrifying and can easily sweep through a medium-sized cosmic civilization.

In addition, there are more than one hundred thousand servants and some ultra-large mechanical facilities, relying on them to maintain the operation of the entire star fragment.

Somewhere in the mansion.

Lin Ye and Carlos stood facing each other, the former instructing, "Carlos, starting today, I plan to concentrate on cultivation for a period of time, so don't let anyone disturb me."

After finding a secluded small building deep within the mansion, Lin Ye prepared to absorb and digest all the insights he had gained in Chaos City over the past thirty years.

For him, turning insights into his own strength is the top priority!

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Carlos raised his thick black eyebrows slightly and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

Lin Ye took a deep breath and said softly, "Tell me about it."

"Your Highness, may I ask if even the four mistresses are not allowed to disturb you?!"

Carlos said respectfully, with a playful smile on his face.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and snorted softly: "Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮!!"

"Actually, the old master has already arranged for the four young mistresses to come in, but the four of them only have the right to reside in this Primal Secret Realm and do not enjoy any other special privileges."

"In addition, each person has to pay ten units of Hunyuan to the Virtual Universe Company every year as rent."

Lin Ye felt that his forehead was covered with black lines.

"Ten Hunyuan units a year, this is faster than robbing a bank!" He couldn't help but roar, looking at Carlos: "Why is our Virtual Universe Company so black-hearted??"

"No, no, no!!"

As soon as these words came out, Carlos shook his head repeatedly: "Others who want to spend this money to enter the Primal Secret Realm don't even have the opportunity."

"Only a great power like the master can talk to the Virtual Universe Company and give a little leeway, but this is also based on the fact that you are a member of the Primal Secret Realm to have this opportunity."

"Not only members of the Primal Secret Realm, but also the top talents of the other three secret realms can bring their families into the secret realm, but the price is undoubtedly several times higher than these ten Hunyuan units!!"

"…"

Lin Ye: "…"

After listening to so many explanations from Carlos, Lin Ye immediately felt very speechless.

Similarly, he also understood why Luo Feng in the original book did not let Xu Xin enter the Initial Universe to accompany him.

This Virtual Universe Company... is really too black-hearted!!

It's simply a place to squeeze wealth!

"Forget it, bring the four of them to see me."

Lin Ye looked at Carlos, feeling a little helpless.

"Forty Hunyuan units a year, and four hundred thousand in ten thousand years!"

Lin Ye said in a low voice with emotion.

Carlos couldn't help but said after hearing these words: "Your Highness, please rest assured, all these expenses are counted on Venerable Fenchen, and now it's just being recorded under your account."

"Of course, no interest will be calculated for you."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes at Carlos, and then separated a trace of consciousness to connect to the Virtual Universe Network.

…

Virtual Universe, Primal Zone, Manor No. 112.

Lin Ye appeared in the study.

He sat in the chair, opened the notebook optical computer, and directly entered the learning column.

The learning column is mainly divided into 'Theory' and 'Practice'.

The teachers for the theory courses are at least Immortal-level, and there may even be Universe Venerables who come to give lectures.

Whether it is the eight lower origin laws of the universe, or the two most difficult origin laws of time and space, there are also great beings lecturing.

There is no need to worry about your understanding of the laws at all.

Among them, there are also a series of mixed courses such as 'Water, Space' and 'Fire, Space'...

These mixed law courses are of great interest to Lin Ye.

The reason is very simple.

What he is going to walk now is the road of fusion of several origin laws.

After reading the 'Theory' of the learning column, Lin Ye clicked on the 'Practice' of this column again.

Whoosh!!

In the practice column, there are three major items—'Tongtian Bridge', 'Illusion Sea' and 'Immortal Altar', with detailed introductions attached.

Tongtian Bridge: Core members of the Virtual Universe Company are qualified to break through the Tongtian Bridge. What is tested is the understanding of the origin law of the universe. The deeper the understanding, the more layers of the Tongtian Bridge can be passed, and the higher the points obtained.

Illusion Sea: What is tested is the practitioner's consciousness strength and will, which is extremely important for cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, combat, etc. The deeper you go into the Illusion Sea from the outer layer, the more points you get.

Immortal Altar: Tongtian Bridge tests the body's power. Different practitioners have different effects on the body's power. Perfect control of the body's ultimate power is one hundred units... The stronger the power, the more points you get.

"It's really the Illusion Sea and the Immortal Altar." Lin Ye couldn't help but said as he looked at the introduction in the 'Practice' column.

"Yes, body, consciousness strength, will, and understanding of the origin law are all key factors that must be broken through to become an immortal, especially the Immortal Altar."

Suddenly, a crystal-clear little elf appeared on Lin Ye's shoulder and explained.

It turned out to be Chan'er.

"Why!?" Lin Ye asked in confusion.

"Because the Immortal Altar tests the body's pure power, not the explosion of various other hidden powers!!"

"Understood!!" Lin Ye nodded and said, "Wait for me to read through the items for earning points first, and then go to the Immortal Altar and Environment Sea to test it out!"

"That's right, now that you have entered this Primal Secret Realm, you must follow the cultivation plan I have arranged for you and proceed step by step."

"Oh!" Lin Ye nodded lightly after listening to Chan'er's words.

Then, he clicked on the background management system, and after the 'Life' and 'Learning' columns, he found the third column, 'Cultivation'.

Whoosh!!

The same large dark red characters jumped into view—

【In my Virtual Universe Company, points are more effective than money!】

【……】

Next, there is a series of introductions on how to earn points.

In addition to the three major cultivation projects of 'Tongtian Bridge', 'Illusion Sea', and 'Immortal Altar', there is also the selection of cultivation projects.

Moreover, these cultivation projects are actual training of different levels.

"'Safe Level', 'Normal Level', 'Difficult Level', 'Dangerous Level', and the 'Desperate Level' with a high mortality rate!"

Lin Ye repeatedly chewed on the levels of these cultivation tasks, and then looked at their corresponding mortality rates, revealing anticipation in his eyes.

"The higher the level of danger, the more points will be awarded after completing the task!"

Just as Lin Ye turned to the last page of instructions, another line of bright red characters jumped into view—

【The road to immortality is full of crises and challenges. I wish you all to enjoy this journey of growth and become an immortal existence!】

"Little master, doesn't the earth have an old saying 'Only after a thousand hammers can you become steel!' You can't cultivate towering trees in a greenhouse."

Chan'er was still sitting on Lin Ye's shoulder, saying with great emotion.

"But don't be too hasty, cultivation can be accelerated, but it must also be at a suitable speed."

"Too much is as bad as too little! After you have transformed all the insights and gains in Chaos City into your actual combat power, you can consider cultivation tasks."

"Yes, that's what I plan to do."

Lin Ye nodded, and then said: "But before that, I want to see what kind of good things the Illusion Sea and the Immortal Altar are!"

"Okay!" Chan'er also nodded with a smile.

"Didi, a call is coming!"

Without any warning, the light curtain on Lin Ye's wrist suddenly lit up.

Then a little devil avatar with horns on his head floated out, grinning and scaring Lin Ye—

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by here, leave the toll!"

Babata's strange voice sounded.

"Buy your big head, speak if you have something to say!" Chan'er gave Lin Ye's light curtain a chestnut, scaring Babata to scream.

"Sister Chan'er, I just wanted to tease you and Lord Lin Ye!" Babata said flatteringly, and then flew directly out of the light curtain and came behind Chan'er to massage her.

"That's more like it!"

Chan'er nodded, a little satisfied with Babata's understanding, "What's the matter, little Babata."

"Little Madman wants to go with Lord Lin Ye to break through the Immortal Altar and the Illusion Sea."

Speaking, the little devil's eyes moved to Lin Ye, as if waiting for the latter's answer.

"We can go together." After thinking about it, Lin Ye nodded.

Then, he directly contacted Luo Feng and began to break through the Illusion Sea together.

Illusion Sea plane.

Low dark clouds almost covered the entire sky, and chaotic clouds heavily covered down, making people feel an unspeakable sense of oppression.

"Rumble rumble!!!"

Below the clouds, the ink-colored sea water was like a roaring and tumbling terrifying beast, angrily rolling up dozens of meters of huge waves, hitting the coastline again and again.

Howling hurricanes occasionally came from unknown sea areas, covering the sky and the earth.

Lin Ye and Luo Feng stood on the edge of the coastline, looking at the boundless and vast Illusion Sea.

"Master, is this the legendary Illusion Sea? It really gives people a lot of pressure."

"Yes, the Illusion Sea tests the real strong, not only your talent, understanding, and hard work, but more importantly your will."

"Consciousness is the soldier, and will is the commander. Only with an incomparably strong will can you move forward on the road of cultivation!"

"In addition, you must adhere to the same will and a knife-like state of mind, able to break through all the difficulties and obstacles on the road forward, without fear!!"

Lin Ye looked at the waves rolling on the dark and deep coast, and a surge of heroic ambition rose in his heart.

Affected by him, Luo Feng also straightened his back, and the whole person looked heroic and energetic.

"The Illusion Sea is the will that truly belongs to you after abandoning external resources such as secret methods, martial arts, and weapons."

"Little Fengzi, come on! Only when we show strong talent can we get the attention of the big shots in the Virtual Universe Company and get more resources poured in."

Lin Ye's eyes were deep, and he said earnestly.

The strength of talent determines the upper limit of cultivation.

This is the core law of devouring the universe.

If you want any resources, you must show the corresponding talent!

"Okay, I'm a little excited now, I want to immediately go through the test to see how strong my will is."

Luo Feng straightened his chest and said confidently.

"Go! Show your talent and will without reservation!!" Lin Ye smiled and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, a look of relief on his face.

City Lord Luo in the original book is now his good apprentice.

And will always be!!

"Master, then I'll go first!!"

After Luo Feng finished speaking, he jumped directly from the cliff on the coast. Facing the dark and deep sea, he had no fear.

"Whoosh!!"

The whistling wind blew hard on his face, and Luo Feng stared unblinkingly as he fell into the sea.

But at the moment when his body came into contact with the sea level, the whole person disappeared from Lin Ye's sight.

"Little Fengzi... has also started the Illusion Sea trial, so now, it's me!"

"In fact, I am also looking forward to my own will."

Lin Ye comforted himself, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he also jumped and fell off the cliff.

…

Illusion Sea, on the sandy ground of the first island.

Lin Ye stepped on the soft beach, looking at the pale white not far away.

This is the deeper island.

Only by passing through the illusion of this island can the next island emerge in the Illusion Sea.

"I really want to see where my limit is!"

After saying that, Lin Ye instantly soared into the sky and rushed towards the illusion of the first layer.

At the same time.

Luo Feng also rose from the ground, rushing towards the first layer of the Illusion Sea with a face without fear.

…

at the same time.

At the deepest part of the Illusion Sea, on the twenty-first island.

A black-scaled old man covered in a golden robe slowly opened his eyes, and dazzling brilliance burst out from them.

He is the manager of the entire Illusion Sea.

"Huh!?"

"This kid??"

The golden-robed old man looked into the distance with a vast gaze, and said in a low voice with emotion: "This little guy is only at the Domain Lord level, but he has such a fearless will and strong consciousness.

As expected of the inherited disciple of Brother Fenchen, he actually passed through the twelve islands so easily. There is really nothing to say about his will."

"No wonder... he has such an outstanding performance on the Tongtian Bridge."

"This time, Brother Fenchen has really taken in a good seedling!"

The golden-robed elder looked at the indomitable Lin Ye, a gratified smile on his face.

One should know that the will and consciousness tested in the Illusion Sea are extraordinary.

The ninth island alone can stop most peak-level World Master powerhouses!

Not to mention Lin Ye directly rushed to the twelfth level, a record as valiant as when he first broke through the Tongtian Bridge.

However, the next moment, he seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly became strange.

"Here, there's another universe level nine kid!? He also rushed to the seventh level in one go, his state of mind and consciousness are also very nice!"

The black-scaled armored elder smiled and remotely watched the scene of Luo Feng breaking through the islands.

"Come, let me take a look at this little guy's information."

"Hmm, True Yan King Sun Hou's disciple!? Also Lin Ye's disciple?"

"Tsk tsk tsk… Calculating it like this, isn't he Burning Dust Brother's grand-disciple? As expected, their lineage produces strong individuals!"

A hint of surprise flashed across the face of the old caretaker, then his gaze turned scorching as he looked at Lin Ye and Luo Feng, very much anticipating their progress.

"Consciousness strength is insufficient, but it can be compensated by the will displayed earlier... These two fellows have extremely strong wills."

"No, no! I have to share this good news with Burning Dust Brother, to make him happy!"

Muttering to himself, the old man directly dialed Venerable Burning Dust's contact information in the virtual universe—

"Burning Dust Brother, this is ****, your disciple is here with me."
