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

Chapter 161 Baffin, Give Me an Explanation

Virtual universe, Tongtianqiao plane.

The surrounding area is a vast ocean, with only one beautiful island in the middle of the sea. Fifty-two long bridges extend outwards from the island, stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is the so-called Skybridge dimension.

"Truly magnificent!"

Lu Qingshan appeared in the center of the island, looking at the dreamlike scene.

"Hello, Lu Qingshan, my name is Baffin, you can call me the Plane Guardian."

A man wearing a black robe adorned with stars, with four ears but no nose, walked over with a smile.

"Hello, Guardian."

Lu Qingshan greeted him.

This is Baffin, affectionately known as the "Email Master." I heard he sends emails incredibly fast, hundreds per second without a problem.

"Hehe, Lu Qingshan, this is your first time at Tongtian Bridge. Let me introduce it to you."

Baffin pointed to the long bridge in the distance and said.

"Our human race has a total of 52 Chaos Steles, which has led to 52 different schools of thought. The one you are studying is the Cosmic Chaos Stele, which corresponds to the Cosmic Bridge to Heaven. The Bridge to Heaven is a layered structure. Once you pass through one layer, you will enter the next layer. Of course, there will be rewards for passing through, such as the precious qualification to study the Chaos Stele. You will get one chance to study it each time you pass through a layer!"

Baffin led Lu Qingshan toward the Cosmic Bridge, saying as they walked, "One is to comprehend the Chaos Stele, and the other is to earn points. If you pass the first level, you get 100 points, the second level gives you 200 points, and so on... Don't underestimate the small number of points in the early stages, because once you reach the later stages, the point rewards are quite considerable."

Reaching the 10th level signifies gaining insight into the laws of an immortal god; the 15th level grants insight into the laws of a marquis-level immortal god; the 18th level grants insight into the laws of a king-level immortal god; and the 21st level grants insight into the laws of a cosmic venerable. Once one surpasses the 18th level, one can become a permanent resident of Chaos City.

"Permanent residents, huh? I'm really envious."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Others who want to obtain a qualification for enlightenment must sell their possessions and spend the savings of countless generations to buy an enlightenment token. This token can grant the holder the title of King and the right to reside there permanently.

This is the special treatment given to human kings, which makes other alien races extremely envious.

"Lu Qingshan, you are a member of the Primal Secret Realm and will receive the best training from the company. You may have the opportunity to pass through the 18 levels of the Sky Bridge in the future. There are two geniuses in your Primal Secret Realm who have passed through the 18 levels of the Sky Bridge, but none of them chose the Cosmic Chaos Stele."

This was not a secret among humans, and Baffin was happy to talk to Lu Qingshan.

He was also very curious about Lu Qingshan, the student recommended by the Primordial Secret Realm, and what his true understanding of the laws was.

"Guardian, thank you for the introduction. I'll be going now."

As they spoke, the two had already reached the front of the Cosmic Bridge. The stone tablet engraved with the word "Cosmos" was clearly visible.

Go for it! Go and try your best!

Baffin said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

After saying that, Lu Qingshan's body transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the Cosmic Bridge. A moment later, his body landed steadily on the first level of the bridge.

"Choose your opponent. You can choose a martial artist, a psychic controller, or a psychic illusionist. Choose any opponent. As long as you defeat your opponent, you can advance to the next level."

"I choose the illusionist."

Lu Qingshan was too lazy to think about it.

suddenly.

A black figure emerged from the clouds and, upon seeing Lu Qingshan, said, "Only a Realm Lord level cultivator is attempting to cross the Heavenly Bridge. It seems you're another newcomer. I hope you can conquer a few more levels."

Let's save that for another time.

The illusionist's weak illusion had no effect on Lu Qingshan. With a flash of light, Lu Qingshan's blade severed the opponent's head in less than a second.

After it was over, Lu Qingshan did not choose to go to the second level, but left the Tongtian Bridge dimension directly.

When he finally managed to cross the Tongtian Bridge, his true form had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, outside the bronze gate of the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

"Lu Qingshan, you have used up your comprehension qualifications and need to obtain them again in order to comprehend the Cosmic Chaos Stele."

Candri had a smile on his face.

"Lord Kandri, please take another look."

Lu Qingshan did not leave. "Oh, you actually qualified once. Did you try to cross the Heavenly Bridge? How come you only made it to the first level?"

"One qualification is enough."

The bronze gate slowly opened.

Lu Qingshan replied and walked inside.

"This little guy really knows how to keep people in suspense."

Kandri smiled; he knew many people wanted to know about Lu Qingshan's advancement in his understanding of the laws.

But he deliberately hasn't shown anything. He's been in the initial universe for over three hundred years, and this is only his first time going to the Bridge to Heaven, and he's only even venturing into the first level. Some impatient grandmasters are probably cursing him out.

Just as Lu Qingshan returned to the Cosmic Chaos Monument to begin comprehending the fifth diagram, Baffin on the Tongtian Bridge encountered the most embarrassing scene in history.

When Lu Qingshan entered the Cosmic Bridge, he instantly sent out hundreds of emails to Grandmasters and Venerables who were paying attention to Lu Qingshan. However, after these important figures arrived, Lu Qingshan only crossed one level of the bridge and left.

This left Baffin extremely embarrassed.

"Baffin, didn't you say Lu Qingshan was trying to cross the Tongtian Bridge? Why is there no one on the bridge?"

A hot-tempered grandmaster spoke first.

"Bloodthirsty King, Lu Qingshan really did go to the Cosmic Sky Bridge just now, but who knew he would leave after passing through one level in less than a second. If you had come earlier, you might have been able to catch up."

"Buffin, what do you mean? You mean we're late, not that you're messing with us?"

"is not what it means."

"Buffine, I came here as soon as I received your email. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

"As I just said, Black Mist King, this is really not my fault!"

"Buffine, be more careful next time. I was doing something very important and got distracted by your email, so I came here for nothing."

……

The crowd chimed in with their complaints, but there was nothing they could do but leave, grumbling under their breath.

……

Inside the secret chamber, Lu Qingshan was focused on comprehending the fifth diagram of the Cosmic Chaos Stele, unaware of everything that was happening outside.

"Sure enough, having grasped the essence of the 108 fundamental laws of space, I can now understand this fifth diagram."

"These fourth and fifth images involve the laws of spacetime, namely Time Freeze, a sub-branch of Time Stop, one of the three major branches of the fundamental law of time, and Space Distortion, a sub-branch of Space Strangulation."

The Ghost King's clone has a natural talent for time acceleration; if it were to learn time freezing now, its strength would see a leap forward.

The power of a single branch of the law of time is far less than that of its combination. Even when a major branch and a minor branch are combined, for example, when Lu Qingshan is fighting an enemy, he can use Time Freeze to restrict the enemy's speed and then suddenly accelerate in time to launch an instant attack, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against.

Alternatively, if you encounter a formidable enemy, you can use Time Freeze to slow down the opponent while accelerating your own time to escape, thus easily escaping pursuit.

With three hundred years of enlightenment, Lu Qingshan not only improved his understanding of the fundamental laws of space, but also enriched his understanding of the fundamental laws of time through Ling Yu's thousand years of enlightenment in the outside world.

Although their understanding of the laws differed greatly, it still helped Lu Qingshan improve his understanding of the Time Origin Law. During this period, Luo, who was comprehending the laws in Chaos City, would occasionally experience one or two unexpected surprises. Lu Qingshan's understanding of the Time Origin Law was already far beyond what it used to be.

Guided by the Chaos Monument, he quickly mastered the fifth image on the Cosmic Chaos Monument: Time Freeze.

As for spatial distortion, he has not yet met the requirements; the gap in the fundamental laws of space is still very large.

After all, mastering the essence of 108 fundamental laws is only the comprehension of the laws on the 12th level of the Heavenly Bridge; mastering a small branch is the comprehension of the laws on the 15th level.

The difference between them is as vast as the starry sky.

It would take a very long time for Lu Qingshan to master spatial distortion and thus fully grasp the fifth image, relying solely on Bru's return.

"Come out, everyone!" "Come out, everyone!"

Venerable Kandri's alarm clock always rang on time.

When Lu Qingshan looked at the Cosmic Chaos Stele again, there was no regret in his eyes. This time, his understanding of the laws finally reached the 15th level, catching up with the understanding of the laws of other realm masters in the Primordial Secret Realm.

What would normally take 20,000 years to complete was finished by him in just 300 years, while the outside world completed it in 1,000 years.
