Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

Chapter 20 Road

The old man, Luo Xi, introduced his guard leader, a tall and burly man.

"Your Highness, this is your guard commander, Tru. He just retired from the extraterrestrial battlefield a thousand years ago, and his strength is extremely close to that of a Marquis and an Immortal."

"He was once the commander of a large legion and was skilled at leading legions."

Tru was nearly three meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and looked very honest.

However, Zuo Yan saw a deep-seated, intense killing intent hidden in his eyes, the kind that comes from years of fighting against other races.

"Your Highness!" Tru bowed slightly to Zuo Yan.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" Behind him, the ten World Lords, the hundred Domain Lords, and the thousands of Universe Warriors all knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to Zuo Yan.

As for the ordinary servants, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed respectfully in return.

"Your Highness, I'll leave the rest to Tru. I'll be leaving now."

After completing his task, the old man, Rosie, waved his hand and left.

"Your Highness, I will be responsible for your safety until you break through to the Realm Lord level. Now, I will show you around the manor."

Tru respectfully led Zuo Yan to familiarize himself with the manor.

Before long, Zuo Yan had finished looking at the place where he would be living for quite some time to come.

He turned to Tru beside him and said, "Mr. Tru, I plan to cultivate the two fundamental laws of time and space. If you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend them as a resident teacher in my manor."

They'll be my guard leader for at least several hundred years, so giving up a little benefit isn't a big deal.

In any case, the teachings of ordinary Marquis-level Immortals are of little use to Zuo Yan.

"Your Highness, do you really intend to cultivate both the fundamental laws of spacetime simultaneously? These are the two most difficult superior fundamental laws to master!"

"I've also witnessed your battles in the Hundred Spirits Trial Space. Why don't you focus on cultivating the laws of space, with the laws of metal as a secondary focus? It would definitely be easier to traverse the Nine Universes Chaos Stele or the Void Gold Chaos Stele!"

"It just so happens that my teacher knows many powerful figures from the Jiuyu and Xujin lineages, and can introduce you to them."

Zuo Yan knew that the burly man meant well, but his path had been set long before he was born.

"No need for further words!" Zuo Yan said, then entered the cultivation room alone.

Tru watched the young man enter the training room and sighed inwardly. Although he understood that Zuo Yan was giving him special treatment, he was still uneasy.

Although he had his own agenda when he first arrived.

After all, there are good rewards for becoming the leader of the guards of a prince of the Primal Secret Realm and a permanent immortal teacher.

Although the leader of the guards may encounter assassination attempts by foreign tribes when he is out and about, the danger and the rewards are proportional.

Moreover, if the prince he is protecting becomes a great figure in the future, he will also benefit greatly.

Upon hearing about the deeds of the newly joined prince Zuo Yan in the Primal Secret Realm competition and the Hundred Spirits Trial Space, Tru believed that Zuo Yan was very likely to become a great figure in the future, so he decisively applied to become the leader of his guard.

However, in a short period of time, Tru also learned about Zuo Yan's personality and truly recognized Zuo Yan's talent.

That's why I thought of persuading Zuo Yan.

……

Zuo Yan ignored everyone else and entered the cultivation room in the manor.

Unlock the treasure trove of Virtual Universe Company.

They saw the points they had earned.

This is a reward message sent by the Virtual Universe Company after he joined the Primal Realm.

It's the same as winning first place in the Cosmic Genius Battle and joining the Primal Secret Realm.

Zuo Yan received 100,000 points and 10,000 Hunyuan units as wealth.

Points can be redeemed for various resources in the virtual universe company's treasury.

Most of the resources in the treasure vault are scarce and unavailable in the outside world; they are the exclusive property of the core members of the Virtual Universe Company.

"With my talent, pursuing the paths of time and space is the most suitable for me, and it will also make it easier to break through to become the master of the universe in the future!"

Zuo Yan looked at the secret techniques in the treasure vault and prepared to buy a set of secret techniques that could analyze the two fundamental laws of time and space.

"Among the Chaos Steles created by the strongest people of the human race throughout history, the second-ranked Cosmic Chaos Stele is the one that follows the spacetime route."

"Furthermore, the Cosmic Chaos Stele was created by the Chaos City Lord, currently the second strongest human being."

"I can directly purchase the secret techniques written by the Lord of Chaos City."

Zuo Yan looked at the dazzling array of secret techniques in the treasure vault and saw his target.

"The True Explanation of the Universe" was created by the Lord of Chaos City and is a companion piece to the Chaos Monument of the Universe.

It explains the cultivation secrets that combine the two fundamental laws of time and space.

"The True Understanding of the Universe" consists of nine volumes. The complete set costs 100 billion points, with no discounts. Individual volumes can be purchased separately.

With the 10 points Zuo Yan has, he can only buy the first three books, which is exactly 10 points.

He clicked to buy, and the time indicated that it would be delivered within an hour.

"Although I have now fully comprehended the 108 essences of these two fundamental laws, this is all I can do to make the purchase."

"It happens to correspond to the secret technique and the subsequent Cosmic Chaos Monument. Let's see if there are any differences."

After all, the secret technique that Zuo Yan had previously cultivated was created by Tiancheng King, whose strength was close to that of a top-ranking king.

It certainly can't compare to the secret techniques created by the Lord of the Universe.

After Zuo Yan successfully joined the Primal Secret Realm, his privileges were greatly enhanced.

His intelligent life scroll also found many things in the virtual universe.

For example, King Tiancheng, whose strength was close to the peak of being a king, was once granted the title of king by three alien races more than 100,000 years ago.

A powerful King-level expert and two advanced King-level experts pursued him, but he ultimately self-destructed, taking the two advanced King-level experts with him and severely injuring the King-level expert, who then perished in a secret realm.

Furthermore, Zuo Yan also found information about Luo Feng's first teacher, "Hu Yanbo," in the original work.

Hu Yanbo had already perished five thousand years ago in the vicinity of the Milky Way in the Black Dragon Mountain star region within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

He was killed by the powerful Demon Hand King, who was granted the title of King.

"It seems I was born more than 50,000 years earlier than Luo Feng!"

Zuo Yan pondered this in his heart, and soon the secret technique he had purchased was delivered.

He walked out of the training room and saw Tru carrying a huge black alloy box.

"Your Highness, this is the secret technique you purchased!"

"Thanks, Tru."

Zuo Yan brought the box over, and then he heard Tru say something.

"Your Highness, among the powerful figures in the Time-Space lineage known to my teacher, only the Mountain-Opening King is willing to become your teacher."

"Okay, I understand."

Zuo Yan knew that Tru's teacher was a grandmaster of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele, possessing invincible strength to be crowned a king.

As for the Mountain King, he is a generous and enthusiastic person who likes to make friends. He is also a powerful cultivator of the Chaos Monument lineage and his strength is also invincible as a King.

After all, it is well known how difficult it is to cultivate the two fundamental laws of time and space.

Those who cultivate both of these laws simultaneously are either very weak or very strong.

……

Zuo Yan returned to the training room and verified the alloy box.

Inside, there were three huge books made of silver-white alloy.

Each book measures three meters in length and width, and one meter in thickness.

Zuo Yan began to study the two superior fundamental laws that he had previously cultivated.
