LRAB Chapter 1 Qi Yuan
Chapter 1 Qi Yuan
Two bright moons in the sky cast a silvery glow.
On the mountaintop, an old man and a young man sat cross-legged.
"Qi Yuan, are you really determined to break through to the planetary level?"
The old man asked.
The boy nodded firmly.
"Sigh, if only you hadn't been born on this slave planet, many powerful figures would be vying to take you as their disciple!"
The old man sighed, "You're only fifteen! You have so much youth ahead of you, why rush to break through!"
Once they break through to the planetary level, they will be implanted with slave chips and will never be free again.
Qi Yuan said, "Without a breakthrough, there is no hope for the rest of your life."
I've heard that once you cultivate to the ninth level of the cosmic level, slave owners will usually sell us to the arena.
"As long as you win a certain number of consecutive matches and earn enough money for the slave owner, you can gain your freedom."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "It's difficult to cultivate to the ninth level of the universe, and it's even more difficult to win consecutively."
Not to mention the countless dangerous missions they had to carry out before that; just surviving was a challenge.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up! We, the people of Holy Light, must not be slaves forever!"
Looking into the boy's resolute eyes, the old man sighed softly.
He glanced around before lowering his voice and saying, "I'm going to tell you a secret."
Actually, we, the people of Holy Light, are not native to this planet. We come from a planet called Origin Star.
One of our ancestors was an immortal deity!
It is said that this great being has an eternal lifespan and can destroy an entire slave organization with a mere wave of his hand!
It's a pity that such a powerful life form also perished.
Our home planet was destroyed by the enemy, and all the strong were killed.
Only these ordinary Origin Star people remain, enslaved for generations, gradually forgetting their origins and glory…
"Source Star?!"
Qi Yuan couldn't help but cry out.
This name sounds so familiar.
Isn't this the era in which the second candidate for the Star Tower lived?
There are still 82 billion years until the birth of Luo Feng, the chosen one.
"I heard it from the previous clan chief. After all, it's been too long, and nobody knows if it's true or not."
He took out an octagonal token from his pocket and carefully placed it in Qi Yuan's hand.
"This is the clan chief's heirloom, and I'm entrusting it to you. Live well..."
He patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, got up and left.
Qi Yuan began frantically absorbing cosmic energy.
With a thunderous roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, a cyan sphere was born in his dantian.
The genetic force emanating from the cyan crystal sphere began to rapidly strengthen the physical body.
Soon, Qi Yuan reached the first level of the planetary stage.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, your cultivation level has increased again. You have been granted one card draw opportunity."
Finally, the system, which had been dormant for many years, reappeared.
Since he first started practicing martial arts, Qi Yuan has awakened a system called "The Great Martial Arts Hero".
This system seems to be a game he played in his previous life called "The Great Wuxia".
Each martial arts character in the story is given a variety of unique talents.
Each time you advance to a higher realm, you can draw a character card and inherit the abilities of the character on the card.
Qi Yuan was very disappointed when he first got the system.
After all, this is the world of "Swallowing the Stars," what use is a martial arts system here!
But he soon found it delicious.
The character card he drew during his apprenticeship was Zhang Sanfeng.
He inherited Zhang Sanfeng's open-minded and detached state of mind, as well as his extraordinary comprehension.
They have almost no cultivation resources, and they have to work hard every day, leaving very little time for cultivation.
Even so, he broke through to the planetary level at the age of only fifteen.
He didn't know where his comprehension ranked among the entire human race.
However, comparing Hong and Thor in the original work, and disregarding external conditions, reaching the level of a World Lord should not be a problem.
Even immortal gods could not be immune!
What's more, you also get a chance to draw a card at each level.
If he draws a martial arts character with extremely high comprehension every time, then he can't even predict how strong his comprehension will become!
He took a deep breath and mentally shouted, "Lottery!"
Countless cards were arranged and spun like a slot machine.
A burst of light flashed, and the rest of the cards disappeared, leaving only one flipped over.
Character: Wei Xiaobao
[Talent: Unparalleled luck, turning misfortune into good fortune]
The cards transformed into tiny specks of light and merged into his consciousness.
Unlike fusing Zhang Sanfeng's cards, Wei Xiaobao didn't feel any changes at all when fusing his cards.
"My comprehension hasn't increased, so is it mainly due to luck? But how is this luck manifested? It seems like there's no such thing in the 'Swallowed Star' world?"
Qi Yuan was completely baffled.
I can only hope that next time I draw a character with higher comprehension, and not a useless one, wasting this precious opportunity.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.
As Qi Yuan felt the gentle breeze and was bathed in the bright moonlight, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of enlightenment.
It was as if I had transformed into the wind, drifting through the mountains and fields.
He felt as if he had become one with the heavens and earth.
At this moment, Qi Yuan's body, will, genetic force, and other powers reached a wonderfully harmonious state.
The forces merged and formed a cyan energy that could influence space.
"Did I just experience an epiphany and awaken the Wind Domain?"
Qi Yuan was surprised.
Although he never thought he couldn't awaken his domain, he never expected it to happen so quickly.
Moreover, this state of sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.
This was his first time having an epiphany.
Not only did he awaken his domain, but he also reviewed his martial arts training, making his foundation even more solid.
"Could this be 'unparalleled luck'?"
He thought to himself.
The day after Qi Yuan broke through to the planetary level, he was discovered by the people stationed on Holy Light Star from the slave organization, who then registered and monitored him.
Five days later, a massive spaceship landed on Holy Light Star.
"The Demon Lord is here again!"
All the people of Holy Light were filled with trepidation.
Every time the slave organization arrived, they would take away a large amount of supplies and also capture a group of beautiful girls to sell as female slaves.
If the valuation is less than the amount they stipulate, all the people of Holy Light will be severely punished.
The hatch opened, and a tall figure clad in blood-red armor descended step by step from the sky.
He looked down at the assembled Holy Light aliens and boomed, "Where are the natives who broke through to the planetary level this time?"
At this moment, the garrison commander of the slave organization hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully bowed, and pointed to Qi Yuan, who was holding his little sister and standing in front of the crowd.
"Commander, it's this kid."
"drop!"
The commander raised his arm, emitting a beam of light that enveloped Qi Yuan.
"A planetary-level first-tier being, and they've even awakened a domain!"
The commander's voice held a hint of surprise. "Not very old. Excellent, very promising, can fetch a good price!"
He then collected the supplies handed over by the stationed personnel and did a quick inventory.
