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

Chapter 149 The Primordial Secret Realm's Genius Golden Sword
After Lu Qingshan and his group stepped into Chaos City.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, in a vast and desolate space filled with the corpses of alien races, the Chaos City Lord, clad in scarlet armor and standing three meters tall, watched all of this unfold.

The Lord of the Universe controls a region of space and time. In Chaos City, apart from the Immortals, no one's secrets can be hidden from this eye.

"I can't see any difference..."

Under the observation of the Lord of Chaos City.

Lu Qingshan was no different from ordinary humans; both his body and soul were perfectly normal human beings, there was no mistake about that…

But "normal" means "abnormal"!
Because the potential shown by a normal human being is far from reaching the level of Lu Qingshan.

The Lord of Chaos City had personally reviewed Lu Qingshan's information and was clear about his potential, which is why he made an exception and approved the qualification of a member of the Primal Secret Realm.

"They didn't possess any special life forms, nor did they have any miraculous opportunities like Kodi's. Their only outstanding feature is their high bloodline level. If they were to reproduce and spread their lineage, humanity would probably have another first-class bloodline race."

But none of that matters...

First-class bloodline, second-class bloodline, it doesn't matter which bloodline you have, what matters is becoming a top-tier powerhouse!

For true powerhouses, lineage is meaningless; only genetic diversity is what they pursue.

"Well, it's just a qualification for a primitive secret realm, nothing special. Let's just wait and see what happens next."

The Lord of Chaos City gradually withdrew his gaze, his expectations of Lu Qingshan lowering slightly. Then, looking at the corpses of the alien powerhouses around him, his eyes flashed with intense killing intent.

……

Lu Qingshan, who had just entered the city lord's mansion, was unaware that he had already been noticed by the Chaos City Lord. At this moment, he was following the guide Mo Fan to a dreamlike corridor.

On both sides of the connecting corridor hang exquisite paintings, which are imprints of the 52 Chaos Monuments of mankind.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, the qualifications for comprehending the Chaos Stele are extremely precious. One can only choose a suitable Chaos Stele through these scrolls. Although these are just some imprints, they still carry a trace of the Chaos Stele's essence. Your Highness can take your time choosing; there is no time limit..."

For others, half an hour would be the maximum, but Mo Fan dared not ask Lu Qingshan for it.

He knew perfectly well that the prince before him was a disciple of a high-ranking human being. Even the incredibly powerful Dragon Whale King and Blood Rose King were his senior brothers and sisters…

Mo Fan was able to obtain the prestigious position of Guide because of his own background, but he was far inferior to Lu Qingshan. He still had to survive in Chaos City, so he naturally dared not offend such a powerful group.

As for those realm lords, if they take too long, just let them wait there.

"Thank you."

After expressing his gratitude, Lu Qingshan's gaze fell upon the pile of paintings.

"The Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele..."

He only glanced at it a few times before moving on.

The pattern of countless leaves looked exquisite, but it was different from the route Lu Qingshan was going to take.

"Dragon's Chaos Stele... Wind Shadow Chaos Stele... Heart's Mark Chaos Stele... Yanshan Chaos Stele."

Lu Qingshan glanced at the pictures on each Chaos Stele, knowing that behind each one represented a super being of the human race.

"My choices are really limited to just a handful."

Lu Qingshan fixed his gaze on the "Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele." Even though it was just an imprinted pattern and vastly different from the real Chaos Stele, Lu Qingshan could still feel a resonance in his soul.

This Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele is a chaotic stele that guides one from the fundamental law of lightning to the fundamental law of time, almost exactly the same path Lu Qingshan initially followed. Furthermore, his body has been modified multiple times by the 'Thunder Source Crystal,' making his affinity for the fundamental law of lightning far surpass that of other fundamental laws—a perfect match!

However, Lu Qingshan still looked away.

The Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele is suitable, but its upper limit is too low. At most, it can only reach the realm of the Universe Overlord, while his goal is at least the Lord of the Universe.

What's more...

The fundamental law of lightning is no longer the law he mainly cultivates.

For him, the fundamental laws of spacetime were the most important. For Lu Qingshan, who had such a cheat code, a situation like Luo's was practically impossible for him… He was 100% confident he could easily comprehend the fundamental laws of lightning; it was simply a matter of time.

Next is the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele".

The Nine Universe Chaos Stele starts with the fundamental laws of space, which is exactly what Lu Qingshan currently lacks.

Compared to the fundamental law of time, his fundamental law of space is far behind, but with a second-tier genius like Bru, who is at the level of a World Lord, constantly providing him with annual returns, his progress is comparable to that of a genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs. He's roughly at the level of Bolan. If he were to take in another World Lord disciple who has comprehended the fundamental law of space, his progress would be even more astonishing.

This Chaos City is full of geniuses. Even among the dozens of realm lords who came with him, nearly half of them are third-class geniuses... not to mention the geniuses in the core secret realms of the major powers.

Take the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company as an example. Whether it is the Universe level or the Domain Lord level, they are probably all second-class geniuses. First-class geniuses are too rare. Before encountering them, Lu Qingshan could not judge what kind of talent was required.

……

There is also the "Chaos Stele of the Myriad Universes," which is a chaos stele that starts with the fundamental law of time. Lu Qingshan's first second-class genius, Ling Yu, chose this chaos stele.

"I have fully comprehended the 108 essential principles of the fundamental laws of time and created my own secret technique. By choosing this Myriad Universe Chaos Stele, I can almost directly pass through the 13th level of the Bridge to Heaven... Although I am still one level below the Lord of the Primordial Secret Realm, my level of comprehension is already comparable to that of some Lords of the Primordial Secret Realm."

Moreover, after the 108 temporal essences were fully revealed, the star map deep within my soul ceased to exist... Aside from the subsequent content of the "Overview of Time," this Myriad Cosmic Chaos Stele has been of immense help to me!

Wan Zhou and Jiu Yu—one is about leveraging strengths, the other about compensating for weaknesses. Lu Qingshan was somewhat unsure.

However, after he saw the "Cosmic Chaos Monument," all his entanglements disappeared.
The Cosmic Chaos Monument ranks second among the 52 Chaos Monuments in the initial universe, and contains almost all the fundamental laws of time and space.

Furthermore, there are three paths to enlightenment to choose from.

Simultaneous cultivation across time and space is one such practice.

One approach prioritizes time and uses space as a secondary factor.

One approach is to prioritize space and use time as a secondary factor.

Bolan, who won first place in the Genius Battle, initially chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument and pursued the path of cultivating both space and time. However, he suffered a crushing defeat, not only being overtaken by Luo Feng but also being kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm after the qualifying rounds. Only then did he change his mind, focusing on space as the primary method and time as the secondary method. He made rapid progress and soon returned to the Primal Secret Realm...

"I'll choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Stele' and focus on time as the primary focus with space as a secondary focus in the early stages to maintain a sufficiently fast pace of progress. Later, I'll take in a genius disciple with a profound understanding of the fundamental laws of space to fill the gaps in my comprehension of these laws. Then, I'll change the plan and directly cultivate both time and space simultaneously..."

This plan is the complete opposite of Bolan's, but it is the most suitable choice for Lu Qingshan.

Once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

“Mr. Mo Fan, I’ve made my choice. I choose the Cosmic Chaos Stele…”

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's choice, Mo Fan was startled, then smiled and said, "As expected of Your Highness, you directly chose the most difficult one. Generally speaking, very few geniuses choose the Cosmic Chaos Stele. Those who comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele are mostly permanent residents of Chaos City, and they are all incredibly powerful beings. Your Highness can go and see now; there shouldn't be anyone comprehending the Cosmic Chaos Stele..."

"Mr. Mo Fan, please lead the way..."

Lu Qingshan was very polite.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, please follow me..."

……

……

Just after Lu Qingshan selected the Chaos Stele that suited him.

On a desolate planet in the distant Qianwu Universe Kingdom and the Golden Sword Empire...

More than three thousand people, dressed in fine clothes, lay dead in pools of blood. They were men and women, young and old, and each of them wore the look of terror before death.

Beside him, a man in a white robe slowly sheathed his golden sword behind his back and casually turned off the live streaming machine.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes.

"Those damned bastards from Virtual Universe Company! Although these scumbags bully others in my name, they are still my direct relatives. They deserve to die, and I have no complaints no matter who judges me. Why do I have to do it myself?!"

"After completing this final step, I can return to the initial universe to continue my studies. Once I break into the Primal Secret Realm and become a powerful being, I will definitely find the bastard who assigned this mission!!"
