Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Panlong

Chapter 101 The Inheritance of Meteorite Star

On the other side, deep underground.

Luo Feng stood in the control room of the Meteorite Star, looking at the virtual figure before him—a child dressed in a black robe with an exquisitely beautiful face. Babata, the intelligent life form of the Meteorite Star's master, had been waiting here for over fifty thousand years.

"Luo Feng, welcome to the Meteorite Star." Babata bowed slightly, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. "For over 50,000 years, I have finally waited for the successor of the Meteorite Star."

Luo Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. From entering the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins to discovering the Meteorite Star underground in Fog Island, it all felt like a dream.

"Babata, Teacher..." Luo Feng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Master has fallen." Babata's voice lowered. "More than 50,000 years ago, the enemy was too powerful. Master fought to the death, and in the end... he only managed to send out the Meteorite Starship, leaving me here to wait for a successor."

Luo Feng remained silent for a moment, then bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely become stronger and avenge you."

Babata nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"I have sorted out the legacy left to you by your master, but with your current strength, you can't use most of it. I will guide you in your cultivation step by step, and give you the corresponding resources when you reach the corresponding level."

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded.

After collecting all the relics from the Meteorite Starship, Luo Feng and Babata emerged from the underground together.

"Babata, my fighter jet is outside, shall we fly back?" Luo Feng asked.

"Wait a minute." Babata waved his hand, and a beam of light enveloped Luo Feng's King-level intelligent fighter jet. "Let me modify it for you first. This fighter jet is too poor and doesn't live up to the identity of the successor of Meteorite Star."

In less than fifteen minutes, the fighter jet's modification was completed. While its exterior remained largely unchanged, its internal systems had been completely upgraded, significantly enhancing its speed, defense, and attack capabilities.

"Let's go." Babata sat on Luo Feng's shoulder, his small body as steady as a mountain. "Fly towards Jiangnan Base City."

The fighter jet took off, transformed into a streak of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

Throughout the journey, Babata and Luo Feng kept communicating.

"Babata, you're saying I can defeat Thor so quickly with this fragment?" Luo Feng exclaimed in shock. He knew Thor was a seventh-tier planetary-level being, while he was only a first-tier being!

"Shocking my ass!" Babata crossed his legs, looking arrogant. "Don't you even know who I, Babata, am? You're the sole heir of Meteorite Star, and you're using a fragment of Crimson Copper Mother. Dealing with someone who uses unorthodox methods, being seven or eight levels higher isn't that normal, is it? Your teacher is an Immortal powerhouse! And a 'strongest' among Immortal powerhouses!"

Luo Feng was deeply moved. Immortal powerhouses—these were the pinnacle of existence in the universe, beings capable of destroying planets with a single thought.

"However," Babata's tone shifted, his expression turning serious, "there are two people you probably won't be able to surpass in the near future."

"Which two?" Luo Feng had a vague guess in his mind.

"Hong and Lin Yun," Babata's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "these two are terrifyingly gifted. Although their cultivation aptitude may not match yours, their comprehension is likely far superior. Especially Lin Yun; during the competition for the Wood Crystal, his Earth-type Domain had reached at least the fifth level—absolutely terrifying! Even Hong is only around the second level!"

"A domain?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled. "What's that?"

"A domain is the threshold of a law," Babata explained. "When a person's understanding of a certain power reaches a certain level, they can form a domain. Within a domain, your strength will be greatly suppressed, while the opponent's strength will be greatly enhanced. Planetary-level beings who possess domains are geniuses coveted by major powers throughout the universe."

"Lin Yun is so amazing!" Luo Feng couldn't help but be shocked.

"Hmm." Babata nodded. "If this were in the universe, he would probably be a disciple sought after by all the major powers. It's a pity that his talent for mental power is too poor, and the core inheritance of my Meteorite Star requires mental power masters. Otherwise, he would be a pretty good successor."

Luo Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Isn't he already a member of our Meteorite Star? We can have him cultivate with me from now on! Can I share half of the resources my teacher gave me with him?"

"No!" Babata refused outright. "The resources your master left you are only enough for you to cultivate to the Eternal Star level. Only after reaching the Eternal Star level can you receive the first inheritance your teacher left you. So I don't care how many resources you give him later, but not now!"

Luo Feng was somewhat disappointed, but quickly thought of another solution: "Alright. Since cultivation resources aren't an option, surely the martial arts manuals my teacher left me will work?"

"Martial arts manuals are worth considering," Babata thought for a moment and nodded. "However, core inheritances related to mentalists are absolutely out of the question! That's the master's rule, and I can't disobey it."

"Okay!" Luo Feng smiled.

That night, Lin Yun was cultivating at home when his communication watch suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID—Luo Feng.

"The fact that they're calling me at this time means they've already received the inheritance," Lin Yun thought to himself as he answered the phone.

"Lin Yun, are you free now?" Luo Feng's voice came from the other end.

"available."

"Okay, then go into the virtual space. Don't resist once you're inside."

"it is good."

Lin Yun hung up the phone, picked up the consciousness-sensing helmet, and put it on. His consciousness had barely entered the virtual space when he was pulled into another space by a mysterious force.

This was a separately created space, surrounded by an endless starry sky, with a transparent platform beneath one's feet. Luo Feng was already waiting here, with a fist-sized child in a black robe sitting on his shoulder.

"Lin Yun, this is a space that Babata has reopened in the virtual space. No one but us can enter," Luo Feng hurriedly explained.

"Babata?" Lin Yun looked at the black-robed child on Luo Feng's shoulder.

"Lin Yun, I am Babata." The black-robed child said arrogantly, "The intelligence you saw in the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins is a branch of mine."

"Lin Yun, Babata is the intelligent life form of Huyanbo, the master of Meteorite Star," Luo Feng added from the side. "Of course, I have now become Huyanbo's apprentice."

"Congratulations, Luo Feng," Lin Yun said sincerely.

He was overjoyed. Only by obtaining Huyan Bo's legacy could the Earth lineage have a chance to leave Earth and venture into the universe. Otherwise, countless space adventurers would await Earth, ultimately becoming a slave planet.

"Lin Yun, I've spoken to Babata, and I'll give you a copy of all the martial arts manuals from Meteorite Star," Luo Feng said excitedly. After so long, he could finally help Lin Yun, and he felt extremely happy.

"Really? That's great!" Lin Yun was extremely excited.

More than anything else, the martial arts manuals collected over countless eras on Meteorite Star were what Lin Yun desired most. These manuals were far superior to the so-called ultimate or SS-level manuals on Earth. As a powerhouse approaching the level of a Marquis and an Immortal, Hu Yanbo, while not considered a top expert in the entire universe, was at least a regional overlord within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. With these manuals, Lin Yun was confident that he could advance his various elemental laws by a significant margin!

"Hmph!" Babata snorted, looking unwilling. "If Luo Feng hadn't pleaded for me, I wouldn't have given you these manuals. Although they aren't the core inheritance of Meteorite Star, they were still painstakingly collected by my master over the years!"

"Thanks, Luo Feng!" Lin Yun naturally knew that Babata was saying this to Luo Feng on purpose, as if he were doing him a favor.

"Why are we being so polite between us?" Luo Feng laughed. "I wasn't being polite either when you gave me the Sky-Piercing Shuttle."

"That's different," Lin Yun thought to himself. "That originally belonged to you; I just snatched it away."

Afterwards, Babata sent the various secret manuals he had compiled to Lin Yun via virtual space. The transmission took nearly two hours to complete, demonstrating the sheer volume of the manuals.

After obtaining the manuals, Lin Yun couldn't wait to take his leave. He needed to organize so many manuals—after all, not every one would be effective for him.

His current priority is to cultivate the profound and mysterious manuals he has already comprehended. His plan is to quickly master the profound mysteries he has nearly grasped so that he can become a lower-level god, and then choose to ascend to godhood outside his body. In this way, he will essentially have an additional divine avatar, and this divine avatar can also cultivate independently, greatly increasing his speed of comprehending the laws.

If all seven elements of law become lower-level gods and each cultivates their corresponding law, then the cultivation speed will increase sevenfold.

A week later, Lin Yun finally sorted out all the secret manuals.

This is truly a testament to Huyan Bo's years of accumulated knowledge. Among these, the most numerous are the manuals related to the eight fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light, while the manuals related to the spatial law, one of the two higher-level laws, are relatively few. As for the temporal law, there isn't a single one—after all, the temporal law is generally a law that one only begins to comprehend after reaching the realm of a Cosmic Venerable, and Huyan Bo, being only an Immortal, is still far from reaching that realm.

However, this is enough for Lin Yun at the moment.

He selected six secret manuals related to the laws of thunder, light, fire, wind, earth, and water to begin cultivating—because these six laws also existed in the Panlong World. He intended to cultivate simultaneously in both worlds, verifying and promoting each other's progress.

"Cultivating all six elements simultaneously, the road ahead is long." Lin Yun sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, looking at the mountain of manuals in front of him, and took a deep breath. "But I'm not in a hurry."

At the same time, Lin Yun, who was in the secret chamber of the magic crystal mine in the Panlong World, also began to cultivate simultaneously.

Two worlds, two bodies, the same road.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

2058 12 Month 30 Day.

In the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of kilometers from the Hawaiian Islands.

Cold and dark. In this seabed region, an oval-shaped black egg, about twelve meters in diameter, has remained for over a year. Its shell is covered in mud and weeds, making it inconspicuous. Many monsters in the surrounding waters discovered this mysterious egg over a year ago, but none have ever been able to break through its shell. Gradually, few monsters paid it any attention.

"Click click click—"

The mysterious black giant egg trembled slightly, and some of the weeds and mud that had fallen on it slid off. In fact, the giant egg had been trembling occasionally for more than a month, and the frequency had gradually increased.

"Crack crack crack—" The mysterious black giant egg trembled again, and more weeds and mud slid off, gradually revealing strange golden patterns on the surface of the black giant egg.

hum!hum!hum!

The giant black egg began to vibrate violently, the vibrations growing stronger and stronger. With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the surface of the black egg. Then came a series of heavy cracks, "Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" and the crack in the black egg shattered completely, revealing a dark, slimy "unidentified object" emerging from the shell.

"Kechi, Kechi."

The slimy, unidentified creature began to devour the eggshell. It ate voraciously, as if it hadn't eaten for years.

In just over ten minutes, about a third of the oval-shaped black egg, twelve meters in diameter, had been eaten. The dark, unidentified creature was fully revealed—a reptilian creature with powerful limbs, its entire body covered in black scales. Its massive black body also possessed a pair of scaled wings and a slowly swaying tail resembling a dragon's. Its raised head had a single horn that proudly pierced the sky.

However, its body was covered in mucus, making it impossible to see its true appearance.

If Lin Yun were here, he would definitely be able to guess that this is the Golden Horned Beast.

One of the twelve pinnacle bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, its attribute is metal. Adult Golden Horned Beasts can rival Universe Venerables. Even cubs possess the potential to become World Lords.

On this day, it was finally born.

The golden-horned behemoth continued to devour the eggshell, its eyes gleaming with golden light. It was unaware of its fate, unaware that someone awaited it on this tiny planet.

That's Luo Feng.

That was its destined "host".

Meanwhile, in the cultivation room of Mingyue Community in the distant Jiangnan Base City, Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes.

A year of arduous training has further enhanced his strength. The Saint-level magic crystal core in his spatial ring has been exhausted, and he is only one step away from reaching the Eternal Star level.

The secret manual left behind by Huyan Bo allowed him to reach a new level of understanding of the six elemental laws. His lightning-elemental domain had already touched the threshold of the laws, just one step away from completion. The other five elemental domains had also essentially reached the ninth level.
