Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 10: The Qianwu Dojo, Two-Leaf Qianwu Master

Kevin was obviously joking.

How great are immortal warriors?
Even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which occupies the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, is a powerful intermediate civilization with only the Black Dragon God Lord as its immortal ruler.

Immortality is a completely different form of life. They are extraordinary, immortal, and even the life limit rules of the original universe cannot restrain them.

Even in the once-in-five-thousand-years Cosmic Genius Battle, most of the cosmic-level geniuses who make it into the top one thousand and enter the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company or the Giant Axe Arena perish on the road to immortality.

"Father, do you know anyone at the Qianwu Daoist Temple on Qiulong Star?" Lu Qingshan asked.

Kevin smiled and replied, "The Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star has three Yiye Qianwu practitioners, all of whom are frequent visitors to the City Lord's Mansion. The strongest among them, Mo Li, is a ninth-level Universe cultivator. In terms of strength, he is almost on par with you before. If he were to participate in the Giant Axe Life-and-Death Battle, obtaining the title of Giant Axe Warrior would not be difficult for him."

Not all strong individuals are willing to participate in the life-or-death battle with the giant axe.

Those thousand battles were too dangerous. Even if you have the strength of the previous champion, who can guarantee that you won't encounter an even more incredible opponent?
Those who participate in the Giant Axe Deathmatch are either cultivation fanatics who will stop at nothing to improve their strength, for whom even the killing arena cannot satisfy their needs, or they are like Lu Qingshan before, who are forced to gamble everything for their freedom.

“Mo Li has been in office for over a thousand years, and we have a good relationship,” Kevin continued. “Later, I will take you directly to the Qianwu Dojo. With his recommendation, your chances of joining are very high.”

"Let's not delay, let's go straight there. I've never been to the Qianwu Dojo before."

"Hehe, let's go."

……

Half an hour later, Lu Qingshan and Kevin arrived at the Qianwu Dojo located on Qiulong Star.

The dojo covers a vast area, almost like a small city.

Above the main gate, the four large characters "Qianwu Dojo" exude an imposing aura. The surrounding area is decorated with gilded leaves, which are both luxurious and elegant.

Not far away, three enormous statues in purple robes stood majestically.

The statues depict two men and one woman, each with a different appearance, and a golden leaf on their chest signifies their identities.

Yi Ye Qian Wu Zhe is a universe-level powerhouse from the Qian Wu Dojo.

"Are these three the people in charge of the dojo?" Lu Qingshan asked.

"Ah."

Kevin's tone carried a hint of smugness.

"The administrators of the Qianwu Dojo stationed in various places are rotated every five thousand years. In order to highlight their status and to set goals for the students, their statues are placed in the most conspicuous places."

The Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star is the largest among the thousands of star systems in the surrounding area, with three One-Leaf Qianwu practitioners presiding over it. Other early-stage cosmic civilizations' capital cities typically only have one or two Qianwu Dojos.

This arrangement highlights the special status of the Qiulongxing Qianwu Daoist Temple.

Lu Qingshan understood. This was like the university in his previous life. Other dojos were ordinary schools, but the Qiulongxing Dojo was a prestigious university.

"So, the quality of the students here is among the best in thousands of star systems?"

Lu Qingshan's eyes held a hint of anticipation.

He didn't forget his original intention. He joined a powerful force, firstly to give himself a fearsome identity and background, and secondly to make it easier to find geniuses recognized by the system.

Both are important.

He didn't want to end up like Huyanbo, who, despite being granted the title of Marquis and achieving immortality, was still hunted down and met a tragic end.

“You can understand it that way.” Before Kevin finished speaking, his gaze had already turned to the distance.

A man in purple robes was flying through the air.

His appearance not only attracted Lu Qingshan and Kevin, but also drew the attention of many planetary and stellar level students who were training in the dojo, who began to discuss him curiously.

"It's Instructor Mo Li! What's he doing here?" "I heard Instructor Mo Li is the strongest of the three instructors, is that true?"

"Of course it's true! Teacher Qianxue admitted it herself during a public class."

"When did Teacher Qianxue ever give a public lesson? How come I didn't know?"

"You happened to be home on vacation that day."

"Damn it! I missed something so important!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Mo Li landed in front of Kevin and Lu Qingshan.

"Lord Kevin, why didn't you inform me beforehand? I would have come out to greet you." Mo Li deliberately lowered his posture. Although he was a strongman among the One Leaf Qianwu practitioners, his strength was still insufficient in front of Kevin, a senior domain lord.

“I’ll need your help this time, Mo Li.” Kevin pointed to Lu Qingshan beside him. “This is my son-in-law, Lu Qingshan… You should know about the giant axe warrior from the Maple Leaf Empire.”

Mo Li had already noticed Lu Qingshan, but he had only been on Qiulong Star for a short time and had never met him before.

Mo Li was shocked to feel the undisguised aura of a domain lord emanating from Lu Qingshan.

This legendary axe-wielding warrior has actually broken through to the Domain Lord realm!
"Greetings, Lord Lu Qingshan."

"Mr. Mo Li, you are too kind. My father-in-law speaks highly of you, and after meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary." Lu Qingshan returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Mr. Lu, you flatter me. There are too many people here, please come to my office to discuss this further?"

"it is good."

Lu Qingshan originally wanted to see if there were any promising talents among the students present, but Mo Li arrived too quickly, so he had to go and discuss business first.

A moment later, the three arrived at a spacious office, which was several thousand square meters in size and had an office area and a training area.

Two other practitioners from the Qianwu Dojo, a man and a woman, also rushed over upon hearing the news, both looking at Lu Qingshan with curiosity.

When the three of them were face to face, Lu Qingshan shared his thoughts.

"Mr. Lu means you want to join the Qianwu Dojo?" Mo Li's tone was somewhat excited.

“Exactly.” Lu Qingshan smiled and nodded. “After breaking through to the Domain Lord level, I’d like to find a quiet place to cultivate in peace. The Qianwu Dojo is a good choice. I just wonder if I’ll have the honor?”

Hearing Lu Qingshan say this, Mo Li could not hide his excitement: "Mr. Lu is a universe-level giant axe warrior, the founder of the Maple Leaf Empire, with a clean background. He is a native citizen of my Qianwu Universe and there is absolutely no problem with him joining the dojo."

Before taking office, they had investigated all the forces on Qiulong Star and already knew Lu Qingshan's strength. Now that the master of Qiulong Star is vouching for him, there is naturally no chance of anything going wrong.

“However…” Mo Li hesitated slightly, “If Mr. Lu were still at the Universe level, I would be 99% certain that he could apply to become a One-Leaf Dry Wizard. But you have already advanced to the Domain Lord level, and joining the dojo would make you a Two-Leaf Dry Wizard… This is beyond my authority, and I would need to apply to a higher level and pass a special examination before you can officially join.”

Fearing that Lu Qingshan might change his mind, he quickly added, "Of course, even if you fail the assessment, Mr. Lu can first become a One-Leaf Qianwu, and then apply for the assessment to be promoted to Two-Leaf after his strength has improved."

“Mr. Lu, the Two-Leaf Dry Wizard assessment only comes once every hundred years,” Qianxue, the One-Leaf Dry Wizard beside him, reminded him. “Why don’t you join as a One-Leaf Dry Wizard first, and then apply for the promotion assessment after your strength has been consolidated?”

Mo Li and Qian Xue's suggestions were both reasonable. After all, inviting a domain lord with a clean background to join the dojo would also earn them a lot of points.

Lu Qingshan cupped his hands and smiled, "Let's try the assessment first. A hundred years is nothing but a moment for a domain lord. Even if we fail this time, it won't matter."

Mo Li nodded: "Okay, then the three of us will submit a joint application immediately. Mr. Lu should not leave Qiulong Star in the near future. Once the application is submitted, the examiner will arrive soon."

"Thank you all!" Lu Qingshan bowed again in thanks.

Kevin stood up and said with a smile, "I'm hosting a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion tonight to express my gratitude. Would you gentlemen do me the honor of joining me?"

"Since Lord Kevin has invited us, we will certainly be there on time!"

Mo Li and the other two responded in unison.
