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

Chapter 135 The Fallen Ghost King's Avatar

The capital of the Dragon Empire, Qianlong Star.

The commercial prosperity here far exceeds that of Qiulong Star by more than a hundred times, with countless spaceships taking off and landing in the port...

Lu Qingshan and Bell were only traveling on a C9-class spaceship, which was inconspicuous among the many spaceships in the port.

"Bell, have you ever been to the capital planet of the Dragon Empire?"

Walking on the bustling avenue, Lu Qingshan asked.

“Young Master…” Bell, disguised as an old servant, said, “I came here once before, but it was different then… the port wasn’t located here anymore.”

"How early are you referring to?"

Lu Qingshan turned around and glanced at him.

Bell paused for a moment, then said, "About ten thousand epochs ago."

"That old Deng!"

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

Ten thousand epochs ago, that is, one hundred million years ago. Even if the capital of a medium-sized universe country doesn't change much, one hundred million years ago and one hundred million years later will definitely be completely different.

No wonder Cabel is so obsessed with that treasure. He's lived for so long, yet his strength is still only at the initial stage of Immortal Army Lord. If it were him, he would be anxious too.

After leaving the Cabel Starfield, Lu Qingshan gave Bell some Locke Divine Water to nourish his body, and he is still recovering from his injuries.

“I have a friend here, let him show us around.”

Lu Qingshan found Kuntu's contact information and sent him an email. If Kuntu saw it, he should reply.

Although only three years have passed in the outside world, Lu Qingshan has already received thirty years of inheritance in that mysterious place. It's been tedious and boring, and even his soul is somewhat exhausted. He needs to relax.

As the main body, being a teacher... he must maintain the appearance of a virtuous gentleman, so this relaxing 'hard work' naturally fell to the Ghost King's clone.

Soon, a call came in.

The Ghost King's clone transformed into Han Li's appearance and answered the call.

"Brother Han Li, you've come to the Dragon Empire?... I see you, you're over at the port. Wait here, I'm coming right now..."

Kuntu hadn't even finished a few words when he saw that Lu Qingshan was on the Imperial Capital Star, and immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after...

A small, luxuriously designed spaceship landed on a bustling street near the port, causing discontent among many. However, upon seeing the dragon emblem on the spaceship, everyone immediately suppressed their anger and adopted a respectful expression.

In the Dragon Empire, only members of the royal family are allowed to use the dragon emblem... it is a symbol of status and prestige.

The hatch opened, and Kuntu's obese body jumped out. He stepped forward and patted Lu Qingshan on the shoulder like an old friend: "Brother Han Li, you've finally come to our Dragon Empire."

"I was just passing by when I remembered you were here, so I came to check on you..."

Lu Qingshan responded with a smile.

“Then you’ll have to stay a few more days this time…” Kuntu rubbed his hands together: “Don’t worry, if you follow me, I guarantee you won’t want to leave once you’re here.”

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it."

Lu Qingshan responded with a smile.

Wherever you go, having a local guide to enjoy yourself is definitely better than wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.

"Get on my spaceship, let's go to the arena first. I still have a game to finish over there. We'll have some good food later, and then tonight... hehehe..."

Quinto gave a knowing look.

Disguised as an ordinary dark-faced youth, Han Li smiled slightly and did not refuse.

As a guest, Lu Qingshan followed Kun Tu's arrangements.

“My spaceship is a bit small, your servant…”

“It’s okay, he’ll find me on his own.”

"Alright, let's go first."

It wasn't until the spaceship disappeared from the street that voices of discussion gradually rose from all around.

……

The Dragon Empire reveres strength... Here, the strong receive more respect than elsewhere.

This arena is also one of the unique features of the Dragon Empire. Unlike the Great Axe Duel, the arena isn't a battle between people, but between people and wild beasts—making it far more brutal and thrilling!

On the stage, inside a huge cage made of alloy, a ragged boy holding a short knife is facing a beast as large as a tiger, more than a hundred times the size of the boy.

Kuntu led Lu Qingshan to a VIP seat with a wide view and said, "Don't let that kid's weak appearance fool you, he's incredibly strong... almost as strong as a wild beast... He's already won three matches in a row, cleanly and decisively defeating each ferocious beast. This time, I'm betting a lot of money on him to win!"

"Oh." Lu Qingshan's consciousness swept over it. Although the alloy cage could restrict some external interference, Lu Qingshan's spiritual power, comparable to that of an immortal god, was naturally unimpeded.

Under his consciousness, the boy's information was completely transparent.

"Not even a third-rate genius, he seems to be just an ordinary young man with some talent."

The Ghost King's clone did not forget that he still had a mission to complete.

He needs to help the human being find some geniuses who are proficient in the higher-level fundamental laws.

However, this Dragon Empire is only a mid-level civilization, and the hope of finding such a genius is too slim.

"How much did you buy?"

Lu Qingshan withdrew his gaze and asked.

"Ten billion cosmic coins".

Quintu stared at the arena and said, "Would you like to play a few rounds? Just bet no more than one Hunyuan. That boy has a good chance, so the odds are three to one."

"What about the giant beast?"

"The behemoth is worth 1.6 to 1..."

"Then I'll buy the 20 billion behemoth."

Lu Qingshan summoned the butler of the private room, transferred 20 billion yuan to the account using an anonymous account, and obtained his purchase receipt.

"Sigh... Why did you bet on the giant beast to win? You mean this kid will lose? He's really strong!"

Quinto felt that his judgment was being questioned.

"No, I'm just helping you hedge your bets. Anyway, no matter which side wins, we'll win... and then we'll have our expenses covered."

"Haha, Brother Han Li, you're right. The point of playing is to have fun... It would be unpleasant if we lost. If we bet on both sides, we won't lose."

The game started quickly after the betting ended.

That boy is indeed very capable.

His immense strength was so formidable that he even briefly suppressed the ferocious beast, and used his dagger to make several holes in the beast's head, from which blood gushed out continuously... However, this only fueled the beast's ferocity.

After fighting for nearly half an hour, the ferocious beast pounced on the boy, biting him hard in the neck. The boy's body was dismembered by the beast, which then devoured it piece by piece...

Cheers erupted from all around.

As for the dead boy, no one paid him any attention; he was treated like a snack by a ferocious beast. Perhaps only those who had bet on him, like Kuntu, would utter a few curses.

"Brother Han Li, you have excellent judgment."

The two then watched several more beast fighting matches. This time, Kuntu learned his lesson and bet with Han Li. As a result, he won all the bets in the next few matches and made a fortune of several hundred billion universe coins.

"Brother Han Li, you're my lucky star! Come on, let's go eat... I've already booked a private room at the best hotel in the capital..."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Kuntu took Lu Qingshan to Chunxin Tower, the most upscale club in the Dragon Empire.

Kuntu booked the entire venue for a month.

He spent almost all the cosmic coins he had earned in the arena.

……

The Secret Realm of Qianwu, Wind and Thunder Island.

Lu Qingshan's true form awoke from his cultivation, and the depravity of the Ghost King's avatar had no effect on his human form.

His understanding of the fundamental laws of lightning has now improved significantly, exceeding fifty percent.

The fundamental laws of space are advancing by leaps and bounds, and now it is easy to conjure a thousand illusory bodies.

This is already the beginning of the fourth level of "Wanxianliu".

"The teacher sent a message..."

After checking the message sent by the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom in his email, Lu Qingshan got up and left Fenglei Island, flying towards the depths of the Qianwu Secret Realm.
