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

Chapter 146 Five Disciples Gather
Virtual Universe, Qianwu City, Xinghe Oasis Community.

Before heading to the initial universe, Lu Qingshan summoned several of his disciples. Now, his disciples were scattered in various places, and only in the virtual universe could they gather together.

Lingyu and Lingxi are sisters.

Blue.

Thunder, Paris.

Apart from Luo, the Lord of Time Realm, all of Lu Qingshan's current disciples are here.

“Lei Ming, you’ve already reached the fifth level of Domain Lord! It seems you haven’t been relaxing all these years.”

Lu Qingshan looked at his eldest disciple Lei Ming and spoke slowly.

"The Domain Lord has a lifespan of a million years, which is very long. You can hone your willpower more in the future. You should have all tried the 'Thousand Threads Soul Refining Volume 1'. Cultivate it well, it will be of great benefit to your future. There is no need to rush for quick results."

Why do powerful forces like Virtual Universe Companies train their disciples step by step, instead of directly upgrading them to Realm Lords all at once?
That's because the more you accumulate at lower levels, the greater your future potential will be, especially in terms of willpower training. The higher your level, the higher the cost of training your willpower!
If Lu Qingshan hadn't bestowed upon Bru the secret technique "Thousand Threads Soul Refining," his desire to break through to the Realm Lord level in just a few decades would have been wishful thinking; no amount of resources would have mattered.

Lu Qingshan looked at the other disciples and said seriously, "This secret technique must not be passed on to outsiders!"

"It's master."

Everyone answered in unison.

"Paris!"

Lu Qingshan looked at his second disciple.

Paris took a step forward, his eyes seemingly filled with a more intense murderous aura than ever before.

"Paris, the path you've chosen is destined to be fraught with danger. However, it's also the most suitable path for your Blade Clan. As long as you don't perish, your future is limitless! But you should still try to break through to the Domain Lord realm as soon as possible!"

Lu Qingshan only gave a hint, without telling him the reason.

Only Lu Qingshan himself knows the real reason.

Domain Lords have a lifespan of millions of years. Even if Paris were to perish in the future, Lu Qingshan might be able to break through to the Universe Lord realm within those millions of years, thus enabling him to revive his disciple. However, if he were to perish at the Universe level, with only a lifespan of 100,000 years, Lu Qingshan could not guarantee that.

Of course, this reason cannot be spoken aloud. If it were, even Ling Yu, who has the most extensive knowledge, would probably be too frightened to speak.

"Yes, teacher. After Paris returned, he immediately set about breaking through to the Domain Lord realm."

For him, breaking through to the Domain Lord level was not a difficult thing. He just wanted to hone himself more at the cosmic level. After all, the Cloud Vine and D9 Laser Gun on his body were enough for him to deal with the crisis of death. Whether or not he broke through to the Domain Lord level was not important.

Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over Ling Yu and landed on Ling Xi.

Lingxi had initially thought her older sister would be next, but instead, the older sister jumped onto her. She couldn't help but pinch the hem of her skirt, feeling a little nervous.

The last time the teacher was so serious was when she was locked up in the manor for cultivation.

"Lingxi... cultivate the Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique diligently, comprehend the laws, and you will not lack any other resources. Strive to break through to the Realm Lord realm as soon as possible."

A Realm Lord's lifespan of tens of millions of years is enough for Lu Qingshan to become a top-tier powerhouse. At that time, nurturing Ling Xi to immortality shouldn't be a problem. Even if she's a waste, Lu Qingshan won't abandon her once he's taken her as a disciple.

"Okay, teacher, Lingxi will definitely try her best." Lingxi was initially startled, but seeing how easily she passed the test, she couldn't help but secretly smile.

She would continue practicing "Thousand Threads Soul Refining" without needing any reminders from her teacher.

The main reason is that in each reincarnation world she constructs, countless delicacies appear, many of which are merely things in her imagination. For her, the reincarnation world of Thousand Threads Soul Refining is not torture, but enjoyment. After all, besides eating, she has no other desires… No matter how powerful Thousand Threads Soul Refining is, the foundation of the illusion is ultimately still constructed from human consciousness.

“Bru.” Lu Qingshan looked at his last disciple: “You are the last disciple I took in, yet you are the strongest! However, your foundation is weak. While comprehending the laws, do not forget to hone your will.”

“Teacher, you have given me a second life. I will definitely follow your instructions.” “Yes, cultivate the fundamental laws of space well so that you can become my helper in the future.”

"Yes!"

Bru's expression was resolute.

"Alright, you can leave for now."

Lu Qingshan waved his hand, canceling the permissions of everyone except Ling Yu. Ling Yu was a member of the Original Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, and many of their conversations could not be shared with others.

When Lingyu sought his advice before, she would deliberately avoid her younger sister, Lingxi.

"Teacher... Congratulations! If it were a few years earlier, Lingyu could have met you in the initial universe."

Lingyu had a smile in her eyes.

He knew his teacher's comprehension of the laws was formidable, but he never imagined his teacher would directly grant him a place in a World Lord-level Primordial Secret Realm. Keep in mind, even he, the top genius in the competition, might not be able to secure a spot in a Universe-level Primordial Secret Realm, let alone a higher-level one like Domain Lord or World Lord. A member of a World Lord-level Primordial Secret Realm is considered the highest standard for a genius!
"There was also some luck involved; the teacher's actual strength wasn't that great."

Lu Qingshan smiled and shook his head.

"That teacher is also very capable."

Lingyu knows Virtual Universe Company very well. Its rigorous talent cultivation mechanism leaves no loopholes, so there's no room for luck. The teacher must be low-key and humble!

Just like last time, she comprehended the eighth and ninth essences of the fundamental law of time, which even surprised her teacher, King Lingyun.

Only she knew that the reason she had made such rapid progress was because of the email that Teacher Lu sent her, which explained the two fundamentally different solutions.

"Lingyu, where is your true form now? In the Primal Secret Realm?"

Lu Qingshan asked

Lingyu shook her head: "After meeting with Teacher and Lingxi in the virtual universe last time, I took the initiative to apply for a universe-level trial mission. I chose the dangerous Blood Luo Continent in the Primordial Secret Realm... Teacher, don't worry, this continent is very large and boundless. The most powerful person in the city I am in now is only a fifth-level Domain Lord. Lingyu is very safe now."

"Don't be careless."

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

He wasn't yet the Lord of the Primal Secret Realm, and given his current level of authority, he shouldn't know anything about the Blood Luo Continent. Therefore, he didn't say much, only stating, "Be careful in everything. If you have the ability, try to complete as many missions as possible. The missions from the Virtual Universe Company probably won't be that simple..."

"What the teacher said is correct."

Ling Yu's eyes lit up, and she continued, "In this Blood Luo Continent, there is a treasure called... It's quite magical. I obtained one and gained great benefits... I'm planning to get more..."

Ling Yu actually has the talent to fuse with Blood Crystal?
Lu Qingshan was slightly surprised.

Could it be the effect of the One-Horned Demon King's bloodline again?

He said calmly, "In that case, we'll do as you say. Safety is the priority. If we're outmatched, we'll use the spaceship. You have an E-class spaceship, so escaping shouldn't be a problem."

"Don't worry, teacher, Lingyu will be careful. If Lingyu is lucky enough not to be eliminated when you go to the Primal Secret Realm, we will meet again."

"Don't be discouraged! You're number one in the genius battle, so you should stay number one. I believe in you!"
