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

Chapter 117 News of Paris
Over the next period of time, Lu Qingshan received the resources he was looking to purchase one after another.

He had the resources prepared for the Ghost King's clone transported directly from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to a warehouse that Shang Jie had rented in a primary universe country.

With these resources, it would be no problem for the Ghost King's clone to break through to the ninth level of the Realm Lord.

As for the star-eating herb...

Lu Qingshan looked at the mountain of treasures piled up inside his body.

All of these were necessary for the evolution of plant life, and they consumed nearly 190 million Chaos Units in total.

With so much money, if used sparingly, there's even a chance to break through the current 108-vine Star-Eating Grass to the Immortal Realm.

However, Lu Qingshan wasn't very interested in the Immortal Star-Eating Grass with its 108 vines.

The Star-Eating Grass can grow up to a thousand vines, while the Cloud-Moving Vine only has 360 vines in its most perfect form.

The 108-vine Stargrass is equivalent to only a few dozen vines of the Cloud Vine.

Even Hu Yanbo could cultivate the Immortal Cloud Vine with 108 vines, so Lu Qingshan is much richer than Hu Yanbo now, and of course he wouldn't waste the potential of the Star-Eating Grass.

His requirements weren't high; he only needed 300 vines. If the Star-Eating Grass with 300 vines broke through to the Immortal Realm, it would be equivalent to the strength of a typical Marquis Immortal, which would be enough to accompany Lu Qingshan for a long time and become his true help!

Lu Qingshan let the excited star-eating grass wrap around his body.

He laughed and said, "Eat up, you can eat as much of these resources as you like, as long as it helps you evolve..."

The Star-Eating Grass vines stretched out in all directions, gathering all the precious resources together, and crawling all over them like a giant octopus...

After arranging the Star-Eating Grass, Lu Qingshan returned to his villa in Fenglei Mountain.

"My strength has increased too quickly. Next, I need to properly adapt to my body and comprehend the laws..."

The surge in strength has made Lu Qingshan's understanding of the laws no longer far ahead, and he must now spend some time consolidating his abilities.

Compared to the long lifespan of a realm lord, he is now like a child, so naturally he doesn't consider breaking through to immortality.

When will we break through?
Lu Qingshan had some plans in mind. He would at least use his thousand times greater ability to comprehend the laws during his time as a Realm Lord to thoroughly understand a major branch of the Upper Time Law before considering breaking through to Immortality.

Once he successfully breaks through to immortality, his strength will instantly soar to the level of an Immortal King... Even among Immortal Kings, he will be a powerful figure with considerable influence.

"Master, Lei Ming is calling you..."

Nasus reminded him.

"Connect!"

Lu Qingshan said calmly.

The call connected quickly, and on the other end was still the same boy with a single pointed horn on his head. However, after decades of experience, the immaturity on his face had completely disappeared, and he now appeared much more composed.

"teacher."

Lei Ming was somewhat excited to see Lu Qingshan again.

"Lei Ming, have you run into some trouble?"

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

“Teacher… I haven’t encountered any trouble, it’s just Paris…”

Paris?
Lu Qingshan was startled. He remembered that Paris had a grudge against the Blade Clan. Could something have gone wrong...?

However, Lei Ming's next words dispelled Lu Qingshan's concerns.

"Paris signed up for the Great Axe Deathmatch! Teacher, I tried to dissuade him, but he's adamant..."

A look of worry flashed in Lei Ming's eyes. "Paris..." Lu Qingshan nodded: "He might indeed make such a choice."

Why is the battle for survival between giant axes attracting so much attention?

It's not because the Giant Axe Arena is one of the five giants, but because the Giant Axe Life-or-Death Battle is crazy and realistic... giving people a kind of excitement that cannot be experienced in the virtual universe.

There are generally two types of people who participate in the Giant Axe Battle of Life and Death. One type is cosmic-level slaves. They have good potential and a slight chance to break through to the Domain Lord level. They are sold to the Giant Axe Arena by their slave owners or actively sought after by the Giant Axe Arena to participate in one bloody battle after another...

Another type is the cultivation fanatic... The killing field, and even some real battles, cannot satisfy their needs.

Once you sign up for the Giant Axe Battle of Life and Death, you must fight a thousand matches. There is no excuse for quitting except death. To obtain the title of Giant Axe Warrior, you must kill a thousand strong opponents of the same level!
Mo Li from Qiulong Star previously possessed the strength of a giant axe warrior, yet he dared not participate in such a crazy competition.

Because nothing in this world is 100% certain, who knows if you might encounter one of those top-ranked lunatics among these thousand matches?

Those people are all as strong as domain lords, and can even easily kill domain lords... If you encounter them, you will almost certainly die!
When does Paris's first match start?

Lu Qingshan inquired.

"It'll be tomorrow..."

Lei Ming sent a message about the match.

The number of newly registered players is the largest, so matching is very simple, and the first battle can usually be arranged very quickly.

However, the intervals between each match will become longer and longer. Firstly, this is to give the players who have just gone through a life-or-death test a chance to rest and reflect on their gains. Secondly, it is necessary to select suitable matchmaking players. If every match is a one-hit kill without any suspense, then the Giant Axe Life-or-Death Battle will probably lose much of its appeal!

When Lu Qingshan participated in the Giant Axe Life-or-Death Battle 80,000 years ago, his Light Domain was only at the peak of the third level. He relied on the gaps between the competitions and the gains he made in the life-or-death trials to raise his domain to the peak of the seventh level during the competition.

Moreover, he was lucky enough to use that insidious and self-destructive secret technique, which allowed him to obtain the title of Giant Axe Warrior.

Lu Qingshan wasn't too worried about Paris, because compared to himself back then, Paris had a huge advantage.

An introduction to the fundamental laws of lightning, the Nine Illusory Forms of Lightning Flash… and the powerful attack techniques learned in the Qianwu Secret Realm, along with his innate formidable combat talent… If Lu Qingshan had encountered such an opponent back then, perhaps…

Lu Qingshan couldn't imagine any chance of his survival.

He said to Lei Ming, "I will keep an eye on tomorrow's match. Don't tell Paris or disturb him. Let him prepare for the match on his own... As for Paris's strength... the life-or-death battle with the giant axe isn't too dangerous for him. You don't need to worry about him!"

"Yes, teacher, I understand..." Lei Ming nodded, then seemed to hesitate.

"What else?"

Lu Qingshan asked.

Lei Ming then said, "Teacher, I want to go back to Jiao Lei Star to take a look after Paris finishes his match."

Haha, homesick?

Lu Qingshan smiled, understanding Lei Ming's thoughts.

Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night; before leaving home, Lei Ming was just a naive young man in his early twenties. After becoming my disciple, he only returned home once... Now, he has been traveling far away with me for nearly a hundred years. It's normal for him to miss home...

"Go home if you want to, you don't need to say all this to me..."

After hanging up the call.

Lu Qingshan checked the information about the Giant Axe Fighting Tournament and found Paris's match schedule and location...

After upgrading his rank at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank to five-star membership, he obtained Diamond VIP status at the Giant Axe Arena...

Diamond VI members can watch the epic battle of the giant axe without spending a penny, and also enjoy high-level privileges!
