Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

"Tianzhi Sword?"

Li Qi looked a little surprised and asked, "Senior Brother, are you sure it's Tianzhi Sword?"

"Sure."

Lord Youmo nodded, "Teacher has confirmed it."

Li Qi nodded slightly and said to himself: "Since even the teacher has confirmed it, it can't be wrong!"

The Tianzhi Sword is the token of the ‘Tianzhi Palace’.

About the 3 millionth year after the Primordial Star Channel was opened, the origin of the universe suddenly descended on Primordial Star No. 888. The origins of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and lightning, light, time, and space, and the origins of all major laws descended on this primitive star at the same time. On the star.

The pressure was overwhelming, and for a moment the entire planet seemed to be trapped in shackles, making it difficult for any cosmic lord or even the cosmic overlord to move!

At the same time, a palace built on the mountain, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, gradually broke out of the ground...

The process of breaking out of the ground lasted for nearly a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, all major forces in the universe have sent super beings here.

For a time, almost all the people surrounding that temple were the Lords of the Universe. Those who dared to get close were also 'top universe overlords', and humans also immediately sent strong ones.

After a hundred years, Tianzhi Palace was completely born.

There is a black stone tablet erected in front of Tianzhi Hall. There are ancient secret patterns on the stone tablet. Any strong person will know its message at a glance.

The content of the message is very simple - 'Tianzhi Palace is born, the stone tablet appears, and after the stone tablet is annihilated, one or more Tianzhi Swords will appear irregularly at a certain time and place on the 10081 original stars.

There are 36 Tianzhi swords in total...

Each sword is a golden sword. When it is born, its movement and movement are comparable to high-level treasures, and it can be used as an ordinary treasure.

When all 36 Tianzhi swords are born, the Tianzhi Palace will be opened.

Only those who possess the Tianzhi Sword can enter, and other strong men will be annihilated if they trespass.

A year later, the stele was destroyed.

It can be concluded from the above information that Tianzhi Palace is unusual.

This is also true, that day Zhidian is the palace where the most powerful treasure is stored during the opening of the original star!

"With the strength of Senior Brother, he can actually bring back the Tianzhi Sword..." Li Qi was very curious about this.

For tokens such as the Tianzhi Sword that can enter the Tianzhi Palace, all major forces in the universe will spare no effort to compete for them.

Nothing else, just because this token is too rare, only 36!

Even the Northern Xinjiang Alliance, which has the largest number of powerful people among the nine super powers, may only be able to obtain one or two Tianzhi Swords.

On the contrary, top forces such as the Thorn Ring Alliance and the Nine Realms Alliance, as well as the next-level powerful forces, have more ethnic groups and strong people, and are more likely to obtain the Tianzhi Sword.

The eldest brother, Venerable Youmo, is very powerful and has few rivals among the overlords of the universe, but after all, he is not the top overlord of the universe. It is not easy to bring the Tianzhi Sword back to the clan.

Li Qi did not ask, but used his own authority to inquire.

"Elder brother is very lucky..."

But in an instant, he learned how his senior brother brought Tianzhi Sword back.

It turns out that the location where Zhijian was born that day was very close to the original star channel No. 88 in the human territory, and could be reached in less than a minute using the best route.

And he was able to seize the Tianzhi Sword because his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, came to rescue him.

The short distance allows the teacher to bring them back to the human territory before more powerful ones from other forces arrive.

"Elder brother, I accept the Tianzhi Sword today."

Li Qi asked: "What treasure do you need?"

"Is it a treasure..."

Lord Youmo fell into thinking and seemed to be confused.

"Let's do this. I will give you three choices, senior brother. You can choose any two from the three choices."

Seeing this, Li Qi thought for a moment and said, "First, I will demonstrate to you the complete mystery of the laws of space."

"Two, I will give you 20 treasure points."

"Third, when I can refine a high-level treasure in the future, I can refine a high-level treasure for you for free, but you need to bring your own materials."

Li Qi paused and then said: "What I mean by refining high-level treasures is any type, including flying palace type, domain type and soul type."

"Refining any type of high-level treasure?!"

When Lord Youmo heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

Among the high-level treasures, the weapons and armor types are very cheap compared to the realm, soul, and flying palace types.

The first two are the cheapest, and the exchange price starts at 8-9 treasure points, while the cheaper ones of the latter three start at 180 treasure points!

You know, all his wealth is only a little over 100 treasure points!

This is despite the fact that he has a high-level set of treasures worth more than 50 treasure points.

(Note, the high-grade set of treasures worn by Lord Youmo is of poor quality. Because it is both offensive and defensive, its power is equivalent to the best high-grade treasure weapons and armors.)

"Junior brother, can you refine all types of ordinary treasures?"

Lord Youmo saw that Li Qi had always called him senior brother, so he also treated him as junior brother.

"That's right."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

"Then I'll choose one or three."

Lord Youmo quickly made his choice.

What he desires most is to break through and become the Lord of the Universe, and his friend Youhou Lord can break through because of Li Qi, which makes him not give up the opportunity to receive guidance.

As for choosing three.

Although Li Qi was somewhat trying to make a big deal out of it, the opportunity to refine high-level treasures for free was rare.

Even if it means refining a treasure in the future, he can still afford it.

You know, Li Qi has been practicing for only 2,000 epochs, and he may be able to refine high-level treasures in 10,000 epochs.

Hearing this, Li Qi nodded slightly and asked, "Is the guidance here? Or is it in reality?"

"In reality."

Lord Youmo replied: "I have returned to the original secret realm of Qianbao River."

"Wait a moment."

Li Qidao: "I will return to the original secret realm from Chaos City immediately."

…

soon.

Li Qi returned to the original secret realm from the original universe, and then teleported to the palace in the Qianbao River realm.

Not long after, Lord Youmo also came to the door.

The palace complex is located in a side hall.

"Elder brother, sit down."

Li Qi sat on a throne and said with a smile: "Did you bring the Tianzhi Sword?"

"Brought."

As soon as Lord Youmo sat down, he took out a golden sword from the world ring and sent it to Li Qi with divine power.

Li Qi saw the golden sword flying towards him. He grabbed the hilt and stamped his life mark. As expected, no message entered his consciousness.

After carefully observing the mountain and river patterns on the sword body, I found that these are the secret patterns of the laws of earth and space, just engraved on it in this way.

"Interesting secret pattern..."

Li Qi smiled slightly and looked forward to the trip to Tianzhi Palace even more.

If there are similar secret patterns in Tianzhi Palace, it will be helpful to him in creating secret techniques and refining treasures.

"Sir, please forgive me."

After a while, Li Qi put away the Tianzhi Sword and said with a smile: "I was fascinated for a moment when I saw the strange secret pattern."

"fine."

Lord Youmo shook his head slightly, and then said in a somewhat expectant tone: "Junior brother, can you demonstrate the secret of space law now?"

"sure."

Li Qi smiled, stretched out his finger, and reminded: "Watch it."

After the words fell, he pointed his index finger in the void.

Buzz!

Invisible ripples rippled, as if there were ripples in space, with as many as 108 layers.

The ripples continued to ripple, gradually overlapping and merging until three huge ripples were formed.

Finally, as Li Qi's index finger touched again, the ripples instantly merged into one. Roar!

A strange beast that contains the secrets of endless space laws seemed to smash the space into pieces and let out a silent roar.

It was as if a terrifying sound wave was coming, causing all the space around Lord Youmo to shatter, but he and the throne he was sitting on were not affected in any way.

Li Qi withdrew his index finger, and the strange beast immediately dissipated, turning into a ripple and spreading, and all the spaces it passed returned to normal.

But in an instant, the ripples calmed down and the space returned to its original state.

Li Qi stopped his hand and stared at Lord Youmo, who seemed to be enlightened, without saying a word to disturb him.

…

a long time.

Lord Youmo came back to his senses, nodded slightly to Li Qi and said, "Thank you, junior brother, for your advice."

"It seems to have paid off."

Li Qi smiled and asked, "Can we break through?"

"have no idea."

Lord Youmo shook his head slightly, "Perhaps it will take tens of millions of years of cultivation to break through, or it may be the same as before."

Li Qi nodded upon hearing this.

It is not easy to understand the higher laws, especially the last step, which is to integrate the three mysteries into one. It is very difficult!

This last step has made countless immortal kings and cosmic sages unable to take it until their death...

"Junior brother, take your leave."

Lord Youmo stood up and said, "I need to go back to practice cultivation immediately."

Li Qi stood up to see him off. He didn't sit down again until he teleported away from the palace.

"I hope that Senior Brother can understand the complete laws of space in one fell swoop like the Lord of Youhou, and break through to become the Lord of the Universe."

Li Qi was looking forward to it, but he knew that the hope of senior brother's breakthrough... was very small.

There is no difference in the understanding of laws between cosmic lords, cosmic overlords, and top cosmic overlords who follow the path of time and space.

There is an essential difference between understanding one superior law and understanding two superior laws!

The former is the Lord of the Universe, and the latter is the Lord of the Universe!

There were so many cosmic sages in the original universe, and those who followed the path of beast gods were an astronomical number.

Among them, there are tens of thousands of Universe Lords who are only one step away from being the Lord of the Universe!

Many of these cosmic sages have teachers who are the Lord of the Universe, and they will naturally receive guidance from their teachers. There are very few who may truly become the Lord of the Universe!

Thinking of this, Li Qi shook his head slightly, and then took out the Tianzhi Sword.

"With the Tianzhi Sword, I can enter the Tianzhi Palace and have some adventures."

He said silently: "I have been able to exert the full power of the 'Ultimate Beast Armor', but I have not yet thoroughly studied all the secret patterns, so I cannot raise its power to the next level."

"But this is enough. At the critical moment, I can use the Dragon Stinging Gun to unleash all my strength to seize the treasure!"

With the 'Ultimate Beast Armor' protecting him, Li Qi can fight with the fourth- and fifth-level universe masters.

If you use the Wandering Dragon Jingzhe Gun, you can definitely fight against the strongest person in the universe who does not have the most powerful treasure!

Li Qi said silently: "Tianzhi Palace was born about 3 million years after the original star was opened. It is still unknown how many tokens have been born."

Tianzhi Palace, like other palaces that require tokens to enter, will not open until all the tokens are produced.

Because it is the palace where the most powerful treasure is stored, the competition for tokens is fierce. No one will reveal that they have obtained tokens, so there is no way to know how many tokens have been produced.

However, when all the tokens are born, the person who refined the tokens will sense it and know that the palace will be opened.

"According to the characteristics of the original star palace, from the outside, the Heavenly Palace is only a hundred kilometers high, but the internal space is huge."

Li Qi secretly said: "Similarly, there are not only the most powerful treasures in Tianzhi Palace, but also some treasures of high quality."

"The original universe is fair. There are only 36 tokens. Very few tokens can fall into the hands of super forces. It is a balancing method in the original universe."

"Among them are the top cosmic overlords who seize the tokens. If they enter the Tianzhi Palace, they will definitely miss the most powerful treasure."

"There are other treasures in the Forbidden City to give some compensation to those strong men who cannot compete for the most powerful treasure."

His eyes were firm, "My target is not other treasures, but the most powerful treasure!"

Thinking of this, Li Qi no longer planned to continue to comprehend the law, but was ready to concentrate on perfecting the most powerful secret method.

Since you want to seize the treasure, increasing your strength is the key!

So before that, he still had one thing to do.

That is... borrowing treasure!

…

In the realm of Qianbao River, inside another palace of a towering palace complex.

"teacher."

Li Qi bowed slightly and saluted the Lord of Ice Peak on the throne.

"sit."

The Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly, and after Li Qi sat down, he asked softly, "Your senior brother, did you give the Tianzhi Sword to you?"

"Yes." Li Qi responded.

"You came to me because you want to explore the Heavenly Palace, so come and borrow the treasure." The Lord of Ice Peak guessed Li Qi's intention.

Li Qi said respectfully: "This disciple wants to borrow the teacher's domain treasure for use in the Cold Mist Realm."

"I'll lend it to you from the Ice Mountain Palace as well."

The Lord of the Ice Peak turned his hand over, and two seemingly small treasures that had had their life marks erased were suspended above his palm.

One is a crystal-clear palace with endless secret carvings on the entire palace, exuding an ancient cold atmosphere.

The other is a sphere formed from white mist, with endless ice crystals in the mist.

"this!"

Li Qi was very surprised.

He originally thought that borrowing the "Cold Mist Realm" would be enough. With this top-level domain treasure to protect him, he would be better able to fight against the fifth-level Lord of the Universe.

But the teacher actually lent him the Ice Mountain Palace, which greatly improved his life-preserving ability, allowing him to protect himself even when facing the strongest person in the universe.

Instead of running away from the strongest person in the universe after encountering him, try not to confront him.

After all, after activating the Wandering Dragon Jingzhe Spear, he can probably only exert the top level five power.

Even if the strongest person in the universe is oppressed by the original universe, he can only display the sixth level of peak strength. He can barely compete with it, but he cannot fight head-on.

The 'Ultimate Beast Armor' on his body is comparable to the peak supreme treasure armor, but not the ultimate peak supreme treasure armor!

"With the protection of the Iceberg Palace, you can seize the treasure with peace of mind and there is no danger of falling."

The Lord of Ice Peak said softly: "But before entering Tianzhi Palace, you must carefully study the secret patterns on these two treasures."

"Thank you teacher."

Li Qi saluted respectfully and was quite moved in his heart.

In today's human beings who do not have the most powerful treasure, the 'Ice Mountain Palace' is definitely one of the best treasures!

The teacher was willing to lend him this precious treasure because he naturally trusted and valued him very much and didn't want any accidents to happen to him.

The Lord of Ice Peak said softly: "Okay, let's go."

"yes."

Li Qi stood up and saluted: "Disciple, please leave."

Then he returned to his palace.

After borrowing the treasure from his teacher, Li Qi began to study the 'Ice Mountain Palace' and the 'Cold Mist Realm' in order to unleash the power of the two treasures.

…

Time passes.

In the blink of an eye, it is already 1.2 million years later.

The original secret realm, the realm of Qianbao River.

Li Qi sat on the throne of the palace, his consciousness connected to the virtual universe and perfecting the secret method.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes showing a hint of joy, and the Tianzhi Sword in the World Ring finally moved.

At the same time, he could also feel... Tianzhi Palace was opened! (End of chapter)
