Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 114 Abnormal Rewards

"Pfft~"

As the consciousness within the Time-Swept Insect's body began to erupt, just as it was about to cause the entire sea of ​​consciousness to explode, the invisible blade formed by Longji's consciousness rushed into the Time-Swept Insect's sea of ​​consciousness and instantly pierced through its remaining part of consciousness!

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

Like a deflated balloon, the restless energy gathered by the remnants of the Time-Scented Insect's consciousness instantly dissipated.

After the separated part of consciousness was obliterated, the Time-Swept Worm was already in a state of severe consciousness damage.

At this moment, the remaining consciousness was struck by this fatal blow again, and was directly on the verge of collapse!
The invisible blade of consciousness showed no mercy. After piercing through the Time-Swept Insect several times, it completely tore apart the original consciousness of the Time-Swept Insect. Then, it transformed into a huge maw and began to frantically devour the large number of soul fragments remaining after the Time-Swept Insect's consciousness was annihilated!
Moreover, as it devoured, Longji's consciousness gradually took root and settled down in the Time-Swept Insect's sea of ​​consciousness.
It took about a day to devour the soul fragments of the Time-Swept Insect; however, it took nearly half a month for Ryūki's consciousness to take root in the 'new home' and adapt to it!
Finally, on this day, half a month later.

As the chaotic and surging spiritual energy in the surrounding space rapidly subsided, Longjina's body, which had been motionless for half a month, finally awoke from its slumber!
First his fingers, then his eyelids, then his arms, legs and feet. Finally, after some attempts and adaptation, the blond, one-horned youth stood up again.

"Success?"

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan, who was waiting nearby, immediately smiled with delight.

"teacher!"

The blond, one-horned youth walked up to Qi Yuan and knelt down respectfully, bowing earnestly and saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me the Dharma. I will forever remember your kindness in giving me a second chance at life!"

At the same time, in Qi Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, a system notification that was nearly two years overdue finally sounded—

[I bestow upon my disciple a successful opportunity to possess another's body!]

[Base return rate 58x, return begins.]

[The gifted item has brought great joy to the disciple, triggering a 100x critical hit reward, with a final return multiplier of 5800x!]

[Rewards: One sleeping Immortal-level Zerg hive, one copy of the top-tier soul control arcane technique "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns". This reward triggers a perfect critical hit, granting a special bonus: one copy of the talent arcane technique "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones".]

The reward has been stored in the system space and can be claimed at any time.

Hearing the continuous system notifications, Qi Yuan almost instantly froze in shock—

I was not only surprised that the system's successful refund notification was two years late, but also shocked by the generosity of the refund reward!
Moreover, this shock was almost to the point of being terrifying!
Including the reward for a perfect critical hit, there are a total of three rewards.

We won't discuss the last two rewards that Qi Yuan hasn't checked yet, but just the first reward alone will absolutely shock him beyond measure!
An Immortal-level Zerg hive!
Having read the original novel, how could Qi Yuan not know how precious this thing was!
Zerg hives are extremely rare, but each one is an incredibly terrifying and monstrous existence.

A Zerg hive at the level of a Realm Lord, simultaneously controlling a million peak Realm Lord Zerg warriors to launch an attack, can easily annihilate an Immortal God at the level of a Marquis!
The Zerg hives of the Immortal level are simply outrageous in terms of both power and rarity!
In the original novel, Luo Feng's Zerg hive, which was at the level of a World Lord, was worth over a million Chaos Units.

As for the Immortal-level Zerg hive, it can fetch an astronomical price!

The Zerg hive is extremely difficult to reach the Immortal realm, making it one of the most difficult life forms in the universe to achieve this goal.

Each Zerg hive that breaks through to the Immortal level is absolutely terrifyingly powerful!

In the original novel, when Luo Feng was carrying out a Domain Lord-level points mission, he encountered an attack from an Immortal-level Zerg nest.

At that moment, the Zerg hive instantly released thousands of immortal-level Zerg warriors to attack. Even a King-level expert from the Golden Horn Clan who had mastered teleportation could only lead Luo Feng and the others in a frantic escape, having no confidence to fight back!

Moreover, every Zerg hive is a natural-born master of the soul, extremely skilled in the realm of the soul.

To enslave and control an immortal-level Zerg hive, normally only a powerful being of the level of a cosmic overlord would have a chance of success, which gives you an idea of ​​how precious it is!
And yet, this incredibly rare Immortal-level Zerg mother hive has appeared in the system's reward list!
Qi Yuan's excitement at this moment was almost indescribable!
Big bang!

This return reward is absolutely an epic bonus!

If Qi Yuan were to offer this Zerg mother hive to a cosmic ruler, he could easily become that ruler's personal disciple and enjoy even greater attention and rewards than the ruler's own son!
Moreover, the rewards this time don't stop there. There's also a soul control technique called "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" that even the system calls top-tier, and an even more precious talent technique called "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones"!

"You can familiarize yourself with your powers here first. I have some things to take care of and will come back to see you later."

Qi Yuan first asked the disciple to stand up, smiled and gave him some instructions, and then immediately and impatiently left this world.

In one space of the Celestial Craftsmanship Tower.

Qi Yuan took out the second reward he had received.

It was a golden book that was over 40 centimeters long, nearly 30 centimeters wide, and almost 15 centimeters thick.

The paper in the book is extremely thin, yet this single book has nearly ten thousand pages in total!
"The Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns, a top-tier soul control secret technique." Qi Yuan smiled as he opened the enormous, ridiculously thick book.

As I continued to flip through the pages, I gradually gained a general understanding of this secret technique.

The most prominent feature of this secret technique is that the methods used to exert control are extremely gentle, which can greatly reduce the vigilance and resistance of the controlled target.

Most soul control techniques rely on powerful soul energy to instantly suppress the target's consciousness, and then imprint one's own soul mark on the target to achieve the effect of controlling the target.

This method has a significant drawback: when the soul invades and controls the target, it can easily provoke resistance from the controlled target. Even a target that was originally asleep may be instantly awakened.

Unless one's own soul power far surpasses that of the opponent, or one has other experts proficient in souls to help suppress them, controlling the opponent is extremely difficult.

However, the way this "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" is controlled is quite unique.

It can guide the subconscious of the controlled target into a dream, allowing them to relive their experiences from childhood to adulthood in a very short time.

In this process, the practitioner can plant a 'trigger' in the target's subconscious, making the target regard the practitioner as an extremely important person in their life.

As the experiences in the dream continue, this 'trigger' will gradually grow stronger, and its influence on the target's subconscious will become increasingly intense.

When the entire dream ends, this 'initiator' will finally blossom and bear fruit, forming a unique soul imprint, thus making the target absolutely loyal to you!
"The Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns" has five levels.

First level: A state of mind
Second level: Ten realms

Third level: Hundred Transformations Realm

Fourth level: Thousand-fold Guiding Realm

Fifth level: Realm of Myriad Transformations

The first two levels are relatively simple, but even if a Realm Lord-level Spiritual Master puts in more effort, they can basically master them.

Once you master the first level, you can control one soul servant, and once you master the second level, you can control up to 10 soul servants!
The next three levels are much more difficult, as they all require a high level of soul amplitude and strength. Even some cosmic rulers may not be able to cultivate to the final level!

However difficult it may be, once mastered, the effects are extremely powerful.

Once you reach the third level of the Hundred Reincarnation Realm, you can control up to 100 soul servants.

Once you reach the fourth level of the Thousand Guidance Realm, you can control up to 1000 soul servants.

Upon reaching the fifth level of the Myriad Transformations Realm, one can control up to 10000 soul servants!
Imagine ten thousand soul servants who are absolutely loyal to you and can cultivate on their own. If all ten thousand soul servants could reach the immortal level, that would be an unimaginable and enormous fighting force!

After all, a normal Immortal-level Zerg hive can only control a few thousand Immortal Zerg warriors at the same time!

"This 'Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns' should be used in conjunction with this Immortal-level Zerg hive. It seems I really need to spend more time on this aspect in the future."
"If I ever manage to control this immortal-level Zerg mother hive, I'll basically be able to do whatever I want with anyone below the level of a Cosmic Venerable!"

Qi Yuan smiled and closed the book, but then looked at the last and most precious reward he had received!
Since acquiring the system, the number of times he has received a perfect critical hit reward has been very limited.

However, the special rewards for each perfect critical hit bring him unimaginable huge benefits!
This time, even the ordinary rewards are treasures of the Immortal-level Zerg hive and the top-tier soul control technique "Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns". You can imagine how precious the final special reward will be!

"The innate secret technique 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'. Can the system even reward innate secret techniques?"

Qi Yuan was slightly curious, but his consciousness quickly made contact with a golden light in the system space.

And at the moment of contact—

"boom!"

Time and space within the entire cultivation space instantly froze!
Even Qi Yuan himself was in a state of frozen expression.

Meanwhile, the most important life core in Qi Yuan's body was instantly infused with an incomparably mysterious power!

whoosh whoosh~~~
The entire life core suddenly began to undergo a mysterious change that was incomprehensible to ordinary people, and even the color of the surface of the life core changed rapidly.

Fiery red, emerald green, sky blue, earthy yellow, dazzling gold. Finally, it all turned into a hazy, chaotic mess.

Then, amidst this hazy chaos, three auspicious clouds of pure energy quickly emerged.
