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

Chapter 156 News of Lingyu, Fifth Picture

The headquarters of the Mercenary Alliance in the distant universe.

On a vast, snow-covered land, several powerful figures who had reached the King level were chatting together. A burly man with scales and armor and three eyes walked over.

"King of Ashes, your application has been approved. Please pay the fee for resurrecting your disciple as soon as possible."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, King Ash, though looking pained, quickly paid the fee.

Only after the fees are paid will the list be submitted, and only then will his disciple De'en be resurrected in the next collective resurrection.

"King of Annihilation, you're quite the responsible teacher. You went to such great lengths to revive a mere disciple of a Realm Lord?"

"Haha, King Ashes really dotes on his disciple Deen. Could he be his illegitimate son?"

"What a joke! King Ash Annihilation has been an immortal for countless years, while Deen is still just a realm lord!"

"That's hard to say... what if..."

……

The powerful figures around them discussed the matter with smiles.

Although King Jinmie is a titled King, he is only a low-level titled King. Among the many titled Kings in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, his strength is only considered to be in the middle to lower range. Others do not need to consider his feelings.

"hehe!"

King Ash Extinction merely chuckled coldly and didn't say anything more to these people.

Reviving his disciple Deen cost him most of his fortune, but compared to the news Deen brought, it was nothing!
The immortals and realm lords who went to the Land of Inheritance had been warned by him not to spread the word, so no one knew about that place.

King Ash still held onto hope.

"By resurrecting Deen, we'll know who killed him. Whoever stole my opportunity will have to give it all back!"

In King Ash's view, the person who killed his disciple must have gained a great deal from the inheritance grounds. Even if they gained nothing, the value of a cultivation-enabled amplification technique far exceeded his own investment!

That place of inheritance has nothing to do with the mysterious Ancestral God Cult, and the secret techniques obtained there can most likely be passed on to outsiders.

That kind of secret technique is something that even one's entire fortune might not be enough to buy.

……

At this moment, in Chaos City.

Lu Qingshan was unaware that others were still pursuing this matter and even planned to resurrect Deen.

If he finds out.

I'm sure I'll laugh.

When Deen revealed that he was a core disciple of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the Ghost King's clone abandoned the idea of ​​killing him and instead used a powerful move to directly strip him of his lifespan.

Even if the Lord of the Universe of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance were to regain his full strength, the God-King Sitting Mountain Guest would never be able to bring Deen back to life!
King Jinmie's wishful thinking was going well, but the result was destined to be a double loss.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan is on the phone with his seventh senior sister, Xue Wei Wang.

“Junior Brother Qingshan, you don’t need to worry. I asked Lingyun King, and Lingyu is fine and not dead. Lingyun King herself doesn’t know any other information; Tian Shi Palace only told her this much.”

"It's good that you're still alive. I'd appreciate it if you could help me find out more information, Seventh Senior Sister."

"Junior Brother Qingshan, you don't need to be so polite. Come visit your senior sister when you have time."

"must!"

……

After hanging up the call, Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about Ling Yu's life and death, but now that he knew she was still alive, a weight was lifted from his heart.

If the message came from the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, then it must be true.

The so-called Blood Luo Continent is actually a training base for human geniuses, which has always been monitored by the Heavenly Eclipse Palace. As a genius from the Primal Secret Realm, Ling Yu went to the Blood Luo Continent, so the Heavenly Eclipse Palace would definitely pay attention to her.

"Ling Yu is alright, so there's no need to keep an eye on her. She'll definitely contact me after she leaves the Blood Luo Continent. I still have one more chance for comprehension; I'll use it now. After that, I'll focus on cultivation for a while, and then it'll be time to show my worth." What was Lu Qingshan's purpose in coming to the Initial Universe?
Taking advantage of the free cultivation environment here is one aspect, but more importantly, I came to this place where geniuses gather to find truly talented disciples.

This place is teeming with third-rate geniuses, and second-rate geniuses are extremely common. A falling meteorite could potentially kill several geniuses who have gained the recognition of a cheat-like ability!
If there's anywhere Lu Qingshan could encounter a top-tier genius he's never met before, this place undoubtedly has the highest probability!
The main reason for the delay in taking action is that his own strength is insufficient. Even his qualification as a master of the Primordial Secret Realm is highly controversial. How could he possibly convince those geniuses of his abilities?
The master-disciple relationship is a two-way choice and is very reliable. If a disciple betrays his master, he will be ostracized by the entire human race. If a master is too indifferent to his disciple, his reputation will also be damaged.

Therefore, geniuses are very careful in choosing teachers, and they will only be overjoyed if they receive an invitation casually, unless they have no other choice.

What's not lacking here is teachers. Those core geniuses can watch lecture videos from numerous Kings and Venerables at any time. In Chaos City, there are also many Kings and Grandmasters who personally give lectures.

Compared to these people, Lu Qingshan's cost-effectiveness is too low.

Therefore, he must first improve his understanding of the laws and at least demonstrate outstanding achievements in one aspect in order to gain the favor of a genius.

In the primordial universe's Chaos City, not only is the competition fierce among geniuses, but the competition among teachers is also intense. The birth of a peerless genius will attract countless people vying for him.

Even if a first-rate genius were to emerge now, as long as he showed his potential, he would inevitably be snatched up, and it would be impossible for Lu Qingshan, the realm lord, to get a chance!

……

"Meet Lord Candry."

Not long after, Lu Qingshan arrived at the bronze gate of the Cosmic Chaos Monument once again. He was already quite familiar with the three-eyed old man standing at the gate.

Kandri gave a kind smile: "Lu Qingshan, this is your last chance. If you want to comprehend it again next time, you'll either have to go to the Bridge of Heaven, or you'll have to trouble your teacher to help you exchange for qualifications a few more times."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. Qingshan should be able to obtain the qualification for comprehension again soon."

Lu Qingshan bowed.

After the bronze gate opened, he went inside...

Candri glanced back.

He pondered to himself.

"He's been in Chaos City for over a decade, and Lu Qingshan has never even been to the Sky Bridge Dimension. Doesn't he know that many people are concerned about him, the student recommended by the Primal Secret Realm?"

"Heh, no wonder this person's willpower is so amazing. With such a calm and unhurried personality, he won't fall so easily!"

Candri has seen too many brilliant geniuses who shine brightly on the path to becoming strong, yet most of them have fallen.

On the contrary, geniuses like Lu Qingshan, who have strong willpower and are calm and composed, are generally able to go further.

……

……

"Time freezes...space distorts..."

"I've finally grasped the fourth picture. Aside from some flaws in the spatial laws, everything else is fine."

Inside the secret chamber, Lu Qingshan sat cross-legged in front of the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

Five days after comprehending the Chaos Monument of the Universe, he finally shifted his gaze from the fourth image, the 'black hole,' to the fifth image.

It was a small galaxy, and in Lu Qingshan's view, these planets all exuded the aura of the origin of spacetime.

"No wonder they say the Cosmic Chaos Monument is the most difficult path to traverse. Even with the fifth image, which still leans towards understanding the laws of time, without grasping the essence of space, it's still impossible to see through it!"

"I was just casually looking at the fifth picture, not expecting to understand much, but once I found the path to take, it became much simpler."

"Isn't it just about analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws? I've already walked this path once, so what difficulty could there be in walking it again? Besides, my grasp of the fundamental laws of space is already quite profound, so it won't be as difficult as analyzing the fundamental laws of time!"

Not long after.

The voice, like a demonic chant, rang out again.

Lu Qingshan took a deep look at the fifth image on the Cosmic Chaos Stele, then turned and left.

Having spent over a decade in the initial universe, I've used up all four opportunities for enlightenment. Now, I'll dedicate myself to cultivation for a while before heading to the Bridge to Heaven!
