Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 318 Perfect Divine Body
The mysteries of life are truly wondrous.

Even in the world where many ancient civilizations reside, the mere desire to reach the third level of a divine body with a power of over 90,000 times has already trapped countless outstanding geniuses, let alone achieving a true 100,000-fold perfect gene.

Aside from Luo Feng, this chosen one with his own halo, it's hard to say whether there are any other people in this world who have reached this level.

Although Qi Yuan had the 'Perfect Life Structure Diagram' and the 'World Beast Life Structure Diagram' to study and comprehend, it would still take him quite a while to break through this final bottleneck and achieve a truly perfect divine body.

Moreover, at this stage, even the return system can no longer provide much effective help.

After all, reaching this stage on the path of divine power is extremely difficult. Among his many disciples, only the former Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace received the divine power inheritance bestowed upon him, and even he is only at the initial stage on this path. Even with the system's 'cultivation experience return' function, the feedback he can provide is negligible, as the gap between the two is simply too great.
Despite the difficulties, Qi Yuan, with his 'perfect life structure diagram' and creative talent, ultimately holds a significant advantage on this path.

Despite the immense difficulties, he steadily and steadfastly improved himself on this challenging path.

While Qi Yuan was immersed in the final sprint towards the bottleneck of the divine power path.

The numerous forces and powerful beings throughout the entire cosmic sea and even the primordial universe felt an immense sense of urgency because of the information about the World Beasts revealed by the Origin Will through the Ancestral God Sect.

Especially the powerful figures of the first reincarnation era, even without the crisis of the World Beasts, they still faced the threat of the reincarnation limit. Their desire to increase their power was extremely urgent. Regardless of whether the crisis of the World Beasts occurred, they would never miss the opportunity to improve their strength by taking advantage of the Jin World.

For many powerful figures in the second reincarnation era and the primordial universe era, they were not in such a hurry to break through the reincarnation, but in any case, it was always right to strive to improve their strength.

Now that the Jin World, a place of extraordinary creation, exists, many forces and powerful figures in the Cosmic Sea naturally cannot hold back. After two initial tentative explorations, they have begun to enter the Jin World in large numbers.

After all, a true god-level expert can easily obtain a supreme treasure as long as they enter the world of Jin and successfully join the army. And the lord of the universe also has the opportunity to obtain such a treasure as long as they continue to complete missions. Even without any other gains, they have already made a huge profit.

Furthermore, in the world of Jin, there are many inheritances that give them hope of transcending reincarnation, which are even more attractive to them!
The powerful beings of the cosmic sea began to flock into the world of Jin, to explore their respective opportunities.

In this atmosphere of extreme urgency and yearning to become stronger, time slowly passed.
The third era of the Jin world began, which was also the era in which powerful beings from the Cosmic Sea began to flock into the Jin world. However, a major event that shook the entire Cosmic Sea occurred!
As in the original story, the Purple Moon Holy Land targeted Luo Feng again. Enraged by their actions, Luo Feng naturally showed them no mercy and directly contacted the four generals of the Jin World to wipe out all the Purple Moon Holy Land universe masters who had entered the Jin World.

This move naturally shocked the entire universe and caused the Purple Moon Holy Land to disappear without a trace, no longer provoking humanity.

At the beginning of the sixth era of the Jin world, after the first True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan obtained a mechanical treasure, it immediately aroused the covetousness of the major forces in the universe. They all intensified their struggle in the Jin world, striving to obtain the mechanical treasure.

In the twelfth era, the Lord of Bech also obtained the Mechanical Flow Treasure.

In the following years, due to the hard work of a true god in the universe sea, some died, and some extremely powerful ones gradually obtained mechanical treasures.

After undergoing rigorous training in the Jin Dynasty's world army, the strong individuals in the Cosmic Sea have clearly begun to shine. Their potential, comprehension, and other qualities are significantly superior.

……

While the powerful beings of the cosmic sea were fighting hard in the Jin world, the primitive human race seemed to be watching the situation with a sense of amusement.

After all, the human race has the special existence of the Myriad Paths Academy, which gathers the lineage of the Ten Directions Sect, the lineage of the Jin World, and a massive amount of powerful inheritance that Qi Yuan obtained through the return system.

In terms of the sheer number and depth of the ancient civilizations they have mastered, the Wandao Academy even surpasses the Jin Dynasty.

In addition, Qi Yuan also used the system's return function to give away a large number of treasures and resources obtained from the Jin world as rewards for various tasks and assessments. In this way, while he himself gained a large number of increasingly precious treasures, he also greatly improved the foundation of many outstanding 'students' of the Wandao Academy.

With an incredibly powerful lineage, precious treasures and resources, the enlightenment space of the Qiyuan Tower, and Qi Yuan's large-scale lectures every ten thousand years, it would be difficult for the core geniuses of the Wandao Academy not to improve rapidly!

In the thirty-sixth era of the Jin world, a new cosmic ruler was born from the Leiyuan Star lineage—Cang Fan!
Cang Fan, who was once an ordinary person with a basic return rate of only single digits and who, without a stroke of luck, could not even hope to break through to the star level, has now broken through to become a powerful universe master standing at the pinnacle of the universe. This is nothing short of a legend.

While Qi Yuan certainly showed some extra care because of their past 'shared hardships,' the main reason for this was his own understanding and hard work.

Even with the inheritance and massive resources provided by Qi Yuan, if he himself is not ambitious, although he may eventually be forced to become the Lord of the Universe, the time it takes to become the Lord of the Universe will definitely not be so fast!
To achieve the status of a universe master in less than nine million years of cultivation is an astonishing speed. If it weren't for the freaks Qi Yuan and Luo Feng, he would definitely be considered one of the most outstanding geniuses in human history!

Following Cangfan, the long years of guidance from the Myriad Paths Academy led to a period where fruitful results emerged one after another—

In the 42nd era of the Jin Dynasty, Qi Yuan's sixth disciple, Long Ji, broke through to become the Lord of the Universe.

In the 49th era, disciple Lu Ming broke through the bottleneck and became the Lord of the Universe.

In the 63rd era, Qi Yuan's second disciple, Liao Li, broke through to become the Lord of the Universe. At the end of this era, the dwarf disciple, Florides, also became the Lord of the Universe. Moreover, with the many powerful treasure-refining inheritances provided by Qi Yuan, his forging skills had already surpassed those of the God of Craftsmen in the Primordial Universe, making him another 'God of Craftsmen' in the Primordial Universe!
Over the next thousand epochs, the human race continuously produced universe masters. Disciples of Qi Yuan such as Mireya and the Taixu Ancient Whale 'Yuan Zhen', as well as a large number of universe masters such as Venerable Zhenyan, Venerable Juekun, Venerable Guiyi, and Lord Lanting, all broke through to become universe masters one after another. The number of universe masters in the human race has reached nearly one hundred!
Moreover, in the 920th era, another major event occurred—in this era, the human race gave birth to the third strongest being in the universe, besides the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord—the True God Peng Gong!
This truly surprised many forces within the human race, and even throughout the entire universe.

After all, from the outside perspective, the two people the human race should hope to break through to the level of the strongest in the universe are the already amazing Master of the Wonderful World, who is in no way inferior to the true strongest in the universe, and the Lord of the Galaxy who has obtained the inheritance of the Duan Donghe lineage. These two are the people they believe should break through to the level of the strongest in the universe next!
However, these two are extremely low-key, and even within the human race, apart from a few close relatives, it is very difficult for others to see them.

Time flies by in the outside world.

As powerful figures emerge one after another within the human race, and as powerful individuals from various forces across the Cosmic Sea continuously gain immense opportunities from the Jin World, the overall strength of the powerful beings throughout the Cosmic Sea is rapidly increasing.
Meanwhile, Qi Yuan was still immersed in comparing and comprehending the perfect life structure diagram and the world beast life structure diagram.

That perfect diagram of life structure seemed to contain all the mysteries of life. Even though Qi Yuan had reached the third level of his divine body, which was more than 9 times stronger than his previous level, he still found it somewhat hazy when he viewed the diagram. Although he was finally able to understand some of it, his comprehension was extremely slow. At this rate, it was unknown how much time it would take to fully comprehend this diagram.

However, after obtaining the blood of that Beast Realm and using the creative abilities of Yuqing's clone to analyze a life structure diagram of a Beast Realm Realm in its gestation period, this predicament was finally broken.

Because it is a gestational beast, there are still some 'imperfections' in its life structure diagram. Qi Yuan started from these imperfections and deduced what was missing and how to make up for them by comparing it with the perfect life structure diagram.

It was through this method of starting from the details, comparing and analyzing bit by bit, and finally making up for the deficiencies, that Qi Yuan gradually deepened his understanding of the entire perfect life structure diagram, and gradually moved from point to surface, tending towards a complete grasp.

In this process, Qi Yuan gradually came to understand a deeper level of power contained in this perfect life structure diagram—the power of the Dao!
In the 4302nd era of the Jin Dynasty, Qi Yuan created the first eighth-level secret technique—the Light of Creation—based on the power of this wisp of Dao he had comprehended!
Once struck by this secret technique, one is like an old man experiencing a sudden burst of energy before death; his spirit becomes extremely active in an instant, while his entire divine body (physical body) enters a rapid state of 'withering'. While the enemy's consciousness is still in that false state of 'prosperity', his life is already on the verge of 'running out of fuel' until he completely perishes!

The fact that the Lord of the Universe could create an eighth-order secret technique is astonishing. Even among powerful ancient civilizations, it would be a rare feat, a peerless genius rarely seen even after a long period of time.

In the world of ancient civilizations, anyone who could achieve this would be considered a saint, as long as they were alive!

In other words, as long as Qi Yuan does not perish, it is almost a certainty that he will become a saint in the future!

More than two thousand epochs later, Qi Yuan, by sheer chance, combined the secret technique 'True and Illusory Realm' with the newly created 'Light of Creation', an eighth-order secret technique, to create a secret technique that reached the pinnacle of the eighth order!
If Qi Yuan were in an ancient civilization, based on this achievement, he would probably be able to immediately join any powerful ancient civilization and become their most core successor!
Of course, the study of secret techniques was just a side project; Qi Yuan's true focus was still on improving his life genes.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten thousand epochs have passed since the Jin Dynasty came into being.

Finally, on this day, after more than ten thousand epochs of continuous study of the perfect life structure diagram, Qi Yuan in the quiet room suddenly felt a jolt in his mind, as if a divine inspiration had struck him, and a mysterious, incomparably beautiful and perfect concept emerged in his mind.

"The structure of life!"

Qi Yuan extended his right palm. Every part of the divine power that made up his palm contained a soul imprint. Naturally, Qi Yuan controlled and analyzed everything with utmost care.

"combination!"

Under Qi Yuan's command, the life structure began to change.

The life structure diagram, which originally reached a life gene level of more than 96000 times and could be described as a perfect one, was now brought to life by Qi Yuan with just a few strokes, as if he were a master craftsman!

As Qi Yuan seemingly made simple changes to the overall framework of the life structure diagram, suddenly—

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a tiny part of the complex life structure diagram began to gradually detach from the whole life structure diagram, as if a melon had ripened and fallen from a tree. This was not controlled by Qi Yuan, but a natural reaction.

When Qi Yuan made changes, some life structure diagrams began to detach automatically.

The tiny portion of the life structure diagram that quickly detached also underwent an automatic transformation in its internal structure, like a domino effect, with the internal structure reacting in a chain reaction, rapidly transforming from a structure diagram that was still understandable to one that even Qi Yuan found mysterious and unpredictable.

hum~~
This tiny fragment of the detached life structure diagram transformed into the image of Qi Yuan, sitting cross-legged with a smile on his face.

"Snap, snap, snap!!!!"

Instantly, when a tiny part of the entire life structure diagram transformed into the image of Qi Yuan sitting cross-legged and smiling, it automatically triggered the other parts of the life structure diagram. One by one, 'Qi Yuan' began to appear, some roaring angrily, some in battle postures, some standing in deep thought, some curled up sleeping, and some laughing heartily.
Various shapes and forms were born one by one.

He spoke slowly, but the chain reaction was extremely rapid.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan's entire life structure diagram was completely transformed into 100,000 light points, and each light point was a miniature version of Qi Yuan. It was these 100,000 miniature Qi Yuans that, although not connected to each other, were subtly linked and formed Qi Yuan's current life structure diagram.

The successive birth of 100,000 points of light is like a natural chain reaction.

"Buzz buzz~~"

After the first divine power in Qi Yuan's right palm transformed, it spread rapidly as if contagious, without him having to actively recombine it. Just like a drop of ink spreading rapidly in water, a point of golden light quickly began to emerge in Qi Yuan's hand.

Immediately following this, the golden light spread wildly in all directions!

Qi Yuan's palm quickly transformed into a dazzling hand radiating endless golden light, which then spread throughout his entire body, because both the divine power that underwent the transformation first and the divine power that underwent the transformation later bore the same life imprint of Qi Yuan.

Under guidance, this extremely perfect and higher life structure diagram has a fatal attraction to other divine powers, just as a magnet attracts other iron stones. It naturally causes other divine powers to undergo crazy transformation.

Wow!
In less than five seconds, Qi Yuan's entire body, including his hair, emitted bursts of golden light.

At the very moment when the entire divine body undergoes its final and complete transformation! It's like nuclear fusion, like the supernova explosion of the sun, like a cosmic lord self-destructing and unleashing energy millions of times greater than usual.
The moment Qi Yuan's divine body finally completed its evolution, his entire body naturally burst forth with billions of golden lights!
The light, billions of rays, illuminated billions of light-years, spreading in an incredibly rapid instant.
