Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 109 Leaving the Secret Realm

Chapter 109 Leaving the Secret Realm

Meanwhile, the girl in white, Xia, had recovered to about 70-80% thanks to the medicine.

"Are your injuries all healed?"

Chen Yuan pushed the large box containing the "Nine Luminaries Body" over: "Perfect, I've finished reading all the secret techniques."

"My physical recovery is going well; at least I can move around without any problems."

Xia nodded, took the box, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you for the potion."

"It's nothing. You've already gained a great deal by allowing me to watch this secret technique."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Now that you've recovered, let's leave as soon as possible."

"After all, more and more people are flocking to the secret realm, and it's no longer safe here."

In the current situation, even with company regulations, infighting is unavoidable, especially for planetary-level individuals who are inherently at a disadvantage.

No matter how strong you are, if you are born a whole realm lower than others, you will appear to be easy to bully in the eyes of some people.

If they were all at the Constant Star level, as top-tier elites, no one would dare to provoke them, and they wouldn't have encountered those two battles.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Xia nodded: "Then let's leave."

"Perfect timing. This experience has given my soul a breakthrough, and I can start working on advancing to the Eternal Star level when I get back."

At this point, Xia smiled faintly.

"Really? Congratulations!" Chen Yuan sincerely congratulated him.

The two then flew away from the cave together, heading towards the exit of the secret realm.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the spinning silver vortex.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan took one last look at the colorful sky above the secret realm, where the interwoven aurora-like bands of light were still flowing.

But he knew he would probably never see such a sight again in his life.

Because Chen Yuan was also preparing to begin his secluded cultivation.

He plans to first raise his strength to the peak of the planetary level, and then break through to the constant level.

With the existence of bloodline evolution agents, normally, it's a natural process for elites to break through to the constant star level, and theoretically there shouldn't be any bottlenecks.

But there's a prerequisite here—normal cultivation.

If one absorbs genetic energy step by step, the strength of one's consciousness (soul) will increase simultaneously as one's primal force is enhanced.

When one's cultivation level reaches the ninth rank of the planetary level, their soul strength will usually also reach the corresponding level.

But the E-level nutrient chamber is different.

While using a nutrient capsule for cultivation can rapidly increase one's Force, it cannot simultaneously enhance one's soul.

This is why Xia reached the peak of the planetary level long ago, but has been unable to break through to the next level.

Because the soul strength is insufficient.

That's why she goes through life-and-death experiences to temper her mind and will, because this also leads to an elevation of consciousness.

After experiencing the thrill of life and death, her soul finally broke through, thus overcoming the bottleneck of the Hengxing level.

But for Chen Yuan, there was no need to consider the issue of soul strength at all.

Because of meditation, Chen Yuan's soul strength has reached the cosmic level.

Breaking through to the Hengxing level? For him, there was no need to go through life-and-death trials like Xia did.

As long as his Force level meets the requirements, he can easily cross that threshold at any time.

Moreover, he gained quite a lot in the secret realm this time, and he needs some time to digest it.

Keep in mind that it had only been two days since Chen Yuan entered the Purple Radiance Secret Realm.

However, many things happened during that time. On the first day, they discovered adventurers who had strayed into the secret realm, uncovered the secret that the secret realm was entering a period of decay, and cleared out a medium-sized settlement.

The next day, they swept through Canglang Gorge, killed the Chasing Fire Squad, and then rushed to Xuanhe Mountain to deal with the blue-haired psychic master's team and rescue the white-clad girl Xia.

In just two days, the battles continued, but the gains were astonishing.

More than three million cubic meters of cosmic crystals, as well as a large number of energy crystals, with a total value exceeding three billion cosmic coins.

10087 experience points can be exchanged for branch points at the same ratio.

More importantly, he also obtained the rare amplitude secret technique, "Nine Luminaries Body".

If the optimized Nine Luminaries Body can be cultivated, then his combat power will gain another trump card.

Because of the abundant harvest, Chen Yuan decided not to linger in the secret realm any longer, but to go back and digest what he had gained to further enhance his strength.

As the two stepped into the silver vortex one after the other, they appeared in a spacious hall in the next second.

"The exit and entrance are not in the same location?"

Chen Yuan curiously observed his surroundings. The dark gray semi-circular dome and the architectural style were quite similar to what he had seen when he arrived, so it should still be in the same building.

"That's true." Xia was clearly familiar with the place and explained, "Although there may be slight deviations in the landing point of each teleportation, it is generally not too far off, so the company has deliberately marked out an area, which is this hall."

She tilted her head in a certain direction: "Come with me, the exit is this way."

After passing through a long, dark corridor, the scene before you suddenly opens up—the once quiet and solemn service hall is now bustling with activity.

Clearly, with the company lifting the ban, the once deserted service windows were now packed with elite students, and the main counters were completely jammed.

Chen Yuan felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

It's important to know that whether you're selling your loot from the secret realm or submitting training missions, you must do so through a human counter.

With such a grand scene here, if you really wanted to queue, you'd probably have to wait forever.

"This way."

Xia gently tugged at his sleeve: "Top-tier elites have their own service counters; they don't need to squeeze into the lobby with them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was so excited that he immediately followed Xia.

After turning several corners, they arrived at a deserted special service area.

Chen Yuan noticed that many members, seeing that there was no need to queue, rushed over to handle their business, only to be yelled at by the staff inside and then slunk away.

As the two approached, Chen Yuan's expression hardened. He noticed that the stern-faced staff member exuded a suffocating aura, revealing him to be a Domain Lord-level expert!

No wonder those trainees were scolded so harshly, yet they didn't dare to retaliate.

"Uncle Lieshan 1"

Xia pulled Chen Yuan to the counter and said in a crisp voice.

"It's you, Xia girl."

Upon seeing Xia, the domain lord named Lieshan's expression immediately became amiable: "What business have you come here for this time?"

"We want to sell some dungeon materials and also settle our training quests."

Xia pointed to her and Chen Yuan: "The two of them together."

"he?"

The sharp gaze of the Lord of Lieshan swept over Chen Yuan, and the access system immediately displayed relevant information:

[Top-Tier Elite Student: Chen Yuan (Planetary Level 7)]

"Since they are top-tier elites, there's naturally no problem."

After confirming Chen Yuan's identity, Lie Shan nodded, stood up from the counter, and said, "Come with me to the meeting room."

Lieshan placed a "Service Temporarily Suspended" sign on the counter and then led the two out of the lobby to a meeting room.

"Let's handle the goods transaction first. Who wants to go first?"

Lieshan looked at the two of them.

Chen Yuan didn't care about the order of things, so he gestured for him to go first: "You go first."

"Alright."

Xia nodded without refusing, and handed a ring to Lieshan: "Everything is inside, Uncle Lieshan."

Lieshan took the spatial ring and probed inside with his mind.

"387,000 cubic meters of cosmic crystals, that's 3.87 million cosmic coins. Plus this pile of energy crystals—equivalent to 8 million cosmic coins. That's a total of 3.95 million cosmic coins. Any questions?"

This wasn't Xia's first time selling, so she knew the other party was being very accommodating with their prices, and she obediently nodded.

"That makes perfect sense."

He then added, "I'd also like to ask you to settle my training missions as well, sir."

"Can."

Lie Shan operated the computer for a moment and then said, "Alright, your universe coins have been credited to your account, and the 8310 points from the training mission have been settled."

After saying that, Lieshan transferred the items from his spatial ring to his own ring, and then returned Xia's ring.

"Thank you, Uncle Lieshan."

Xia smiled with her eyes narrowed, then turned and winked at Chen Yuan.

"Your turn."
