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

Chapter 137 The Popularity of the Qianwu Kingdom's Ruler

Thunder Mountain, a virtual universe.

One after another, terrifying figures emerged from their homes as the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom arrived.

"Qian Wu, why aren't you cultivating geniuses in the Universe Kingdom? What are you doing here at Thunder Mountain?"

"Long time no see, Qianwu. Your Universe Kingdom did quite well in the last Genius Battle. When are you treating us to a meal?"

"Hehe, Qianwu, did you come to Thunder Mountain this time because the Primal Star is about to open?"

"Please, Qianwu, don't send any more this time!"

"Brother Qianwu, don't worry about the 137.24 treasure points you owe me. If I hadn't seen you today, I would have almost forgotten about them."

……

These voices all came from beings at the level of cosmic sages.

Clearly, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is very popular and well-liked among this group of venerable ones.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was too lazy to deal with these idle fellows, so he flew directly over the area and entered the manor at the highest point of Thunder Mountain.

"I request an audience with the Lord of Chaos City."

"Please wait a moment, Venerable Qianwu, I will report to you immediately."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom is ancient and ancient, existing from the same era as the Lord of Chaos City. They have a good relationship, and the guards of the city lord's mansion dare not neglect them.

"come in."

Before the guards could report, a voice came.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stepped inside.

Inside the city lord's mansion, amidst ruins, the corpses of countless races piled up like mountains.

The shaman's gaze fell upon the imposing, three-meter-tall figure in the distance.

"Meet the City Lord."

The figure turned around, his tail covered in scales sweeping through the air. He looked at Qianwu with a smile, appearing kind and gentle: "Qianwu, your Qianwu Universe Kingdom performed well in this Genius Battle. I've been keeping an eye on that genius named Lingyu; he's a promising talent."

"Thank you for the compliment, City Lord."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was secretly pleased with himself. In this battle of geniuses, their Qianwu Universe Kingdom had finally been able to hold its head high.

However, he clearly didn't come here for this reason.

"Lord of the city, I would like to apply for a qualification for a core secret realm."

The burly man smiled faintly and said calmly, "Doesn't your Qianwu Universe Kingdom have guaranteed admission quotas in every era? Why did you come all the way to me? Could it be that your Qianwu Universe Kingdom has produced some amazing genius that even your king has to run errands for you?"

"The city lord's guess is correct. This time, our Qianwu Universe Kingdom has indeed produced a top genius. Compared to him, Lingyu is not worth mentioning."

"Oh, to receive such a high evaluation from you, he must indeed have some talent. Which secret realm do you plan to apply for for him?"

The Lord of Chaos City remained calm and composed.

"Primordial Secret Realm, Realm Lord Level!"

"It's a serious matter," Qianwu said earnestly.

A pristine, hidden paradise!

It's still a Primal Secret Realm at the Realm Lord level!
Even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, a high-ranking venerable being, cannot directly send people into it, but as long as the Lord of Chaos City agrees, everything is not a problem.

"World Lord level? Could it be that the genius you recommended is comparable to Lian Luo from back then?"

The Lord of Chaos City still remembered the time when the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom wanted to take Lian Luo as his disciple, but was intercepted.

"Heh, compared to him, Lian Luo is nothing?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom spoke confidently.

The Chaos City Lord then showed some interest: "Kodi?"

"Perhaps even Koti is not as good as him."

The shaman continued.

At this point, even the Lord of Chaos City was a little curious. Kodi was already one of the pinnacles of human geniuses across countless eras, yet Qianwu said that Kodi was not even as good as him.

"City Lord, my disciple Lu Qingshan broke through to the Realm Lord level less than two hundred years ago. He's been following the path of analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws of time, and he's now completely mastered all 108 of them. Back then, Lian Luo took 3000 years, and that was within Chaos City." The difference is stark: 200 years in a primordial universe versus 3000 years in Chaos City—the gap is immeasurable.

"If he has such talent, it would be understandable to grant him a special spot as the master of the Primal Secret Realm. However, his understanding of the laws is still only at level 12. If he can't keep up in the Primal Secret Realm, he will probably still be eliminated."

The Lord of the Primordial Secret Realm is humanity's most outstanding genius. His comprehension of the strongest laws has already reached the King level, equivalent to the 18th level of the Bridge to Heaven. Once he breaks through, directly becoming a King is a certainty, and even the lowest breakthrough will grant him the title of Marquis!
Compared to those heaven-defying realm lords, Lu Qingshan's 12th level of enlightenment seems pitiful.

“I have checked, and there are still 20,000 years until the next World Lord Qualification Battle. With my disciple’s cultivation speed, he will definitely catch up in 20,000 years, or at least he will not be at the bottom.”

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was very confident, and he then played his trump card.

"Moreover, my disciple is not only incredibly talented in the fundamental law of time, but also has a high level of talent in the fundamental law of space."

After saying that, he didn't explain, but simply waved his hand.

A huge screen appeared before him, displaying the realm of the fundamental laws of time and space that Lu Qingshan had shown when they met before, now fully displayed to the Lord of Chaos City.

Qianwu continued, "My disciple has only been studying the fundamental laws of space for less than twenty years."

With the Chaos City Lord's perspective, he could naturally understand what this video represented.

“Qianwu…”

He had a smile on his face.

"You have taken on a good apprentice. Perhaps before long, your debts to the tribe can be wiped clean."

"Haha."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom gave an awkward smile.

"As long as Qingshan can make progress, I don't care about debts or anything like that."

The Lord of Chaos City did not expose him, but simply said, "Although Lu Qingshan is your disciple, once he comes to the Primal Secret Realm, he needs to accept the Virtual Universe Company's plan to cultivate geniuses, and you must not interfere with it."

The Lord of Chaos City was being upfront about the consequences; he was worried that this disciple was Qianwu's precious treasure and his hope for repaying his debts, so he was protecting him too well.

"Qingshan is a steady person, and I believe that the test that Virtual Universe Company puts him to the test is nothing."

Although somewhat reluctant, the shaman nodded in agreement.
Lu Qingshan's talent is too dazzling. If he stays by my side, he will at most become a Venerable. Only in the core of the Virtual Universe Company will he have a glimmer of hope to become the Lord of the Universe.

"I will have Guiyi make the arrangements. After you go back, have him come to the Initial Universe as soon as possible."

"Yes, City Lord."

Having resolved Lu Qingshan's matter, the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler did not linger here. After leaving the main hall, he disappeared into the virtual universe.

He had just left.

The scene where Lu Qingshan previously demonstrated the fundamental laws of spacetime reappeared.

A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Chaos City Lord.

“This little guy is indeed very talented. No wonder Qianwu came to me personally. It seems that Qianwu does have some experience in cultivating geniuses.”

……

The Secret Realm of Qianwu, Wind and Thunder Island.

While the clone indulged in pleasure, the human original was engrossed in the killing field.

In a dedicated killing space, countless spatial illusions of the 'Golden Sword' shattered like balloons, and its true form vanished with a single strike.

"I used to think he was a genius from the core secret realm of the five giants, an unattainable figure, but now, even if I only use the strength of a first-level Domain Lord, I can easily kill him..."

In these two hundred years, I have grown up too fast.

Lu Qingshan left the killing field.

I wonder how things are going with the teacher, and whether they'll bring me good news.

Lu Qingshan had previously won a spot at an auction to study the 'Initial Universe' at the Realm Lord level, and he had planned to go and see it anyway. Since Qian Wu had this connection, it would be good to let him save some money.

This token won't go to waste; it can be kept and given to one's own disciples in the future.

Lu Qingshan thought of Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm.

If he were to gain the opportunity to comprehend the primordial universe, his chances of breaking through to immortality would greatly increase!
