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

Chapter 165 The Venerable One's Expectations
This group of Grandmasters was not the only ones watching Lu Qingshan's challenge.

There are also several cosmic venerables.

However, they were not with these people, and their access was not limited to Baffin's consent.

"Heh, Bloodthirsty King and his gang have started a betting pool. Shall we give it a try?"

The one who spoke was Venerable Youyue.

After meeting the Lord of Chaos City, he paid close attention to Lu Qingshan, the Lord of the Primordial Mystic Realm.

“Alright, Venerable Youyue rarely opens betting, I’ll take a turn.”

"Add me one."

"Hehe, count me in. This Lu Qingshan is indeed a genius."

……

Seeing everyone's interest, Venerable Youyue said, "According to Lu Qingshan's understanding of the laws, the 13th level definitely won't stop him. Let's bet on whether it's the 14th or 15th level. You place your bets, and I'll be the bookmaker. If you guess right, I'll pay out; if you guess wrong, the bet is mine. Let's set the limit at 100 billion Hunyuan... What do you think?"

100 billion Chaos Units is all the assets of a King-level Immortal, but it's nothing to the Venerables present.

The Blood Fiend Venerable, exuding a strong murderous aura, was the first to speak: "I'll buy the 14th floor, 100 billion Hunyuan."

"Hehe, I also have a deal with Blood Fiend, it's 100 billion."

The one who spoke was the short, bearded Raikage.

“I’ll offer 100 billion Hunyuan to buy the 14th floor, Youyue… You’re probably going to lose a lot this time.”

The Nine Swords Venerable, whose face was covered in blue scales, chuckled.

Venerable Youyue's smile remained unchanged as he said calmly, "A little gambling is harmless fun; this amount of money is nothing."

Once the order is placed, it cannot be changed.

Apart from Venerable Youyue, all three other Venerables placed their bets, and then Venerable Youyue closed the betting pool.

Then everyone's attention turned to the figure that was crossing the overpass.

"Surging waves!"

"A fleeting moment!"

Lu Qingshan only created two illusory bodies, which formed a pincer attack on the opponent on the 13th floor.

"Pfft!"

The illusory image dissipated, and Lu Qingshan steadily conquered the thirteenth floor, then entered the next floor.

This time.

Everyone's attention was focused.

"Choose your opponent..."

"Musha."

A figure slowly emerged from the clouds and mist, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Lu Qingshan.

"At the level of a mere Realm Lord, you've already reached the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge. You're quite a genius, but... let's stop here. With the strength you've shown, you simply can't get past this level."

"is it?"

Lu Qingshan's gaze sharpened.

Hundreds of time-space illusions appeared instantly.

However, his opponent also easily conjured hundreds of time illusions, and the battle between the two seemed to have evolved into a final showdown.

In the battle between the illusionary bodies, Lu Qingshan did not gain the upper hand; instead, he lost several clones first.

"I told you, you can't get past me now. Go back and try to comprehend the fundamental laws of space. If you don't improve your understanding of the fundamental laws of space, you'll never be able to pass me."

"hehe!?"

Lu Qingshan withdrew his illusory form.

This time, he held back, unleashing his ultimate move, which he had rarely used since its creation.

"Aoyama One Style!!"

The long sword in Lu Qingshan's hand seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space, arriving in front of the black-clad warrior in an instant.

A sword descended from the sky, carrying the force of a thunderbolt!

"Block!"

The black-clad warrior had a serious expression.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The moment the blade struck, a vast and pure pressure of consciousness appeared, causing the man in black to lose his focus for a moment. In that brief instant, the blade struck, and the black-clad warrior's body was cleaved in two!

"That was a brilliant strike! Lu Qingshan's self-created sword technique is close to the top level."

A look of surprise appeared in Raikage's eyes.

He himself used swordsmanship and created a top-level swordsmanship secret technique, so he could tell the level of Lu Qingshan's swordsmanship at a glance.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Nine Swords Venerable: "This Lu Qingshan has only cultivated for tens of thousands of years, how did he achieve this? It's one thing to comprehend the fundamental laws of spacetime at the same time, but he has also created such a sword technique."

"Lu Qingshan's swordsmanship is indeed quite good. Although he only has one move, he has great potential and may have the opportunity to improve to the top level in the future."

Venerable Youyue, who oversees the company's secret treasure trove, has even more say.

The Blood Fiend Venerable chuckled: "Even so, it's impossible to cross the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge. The secret technique's enhancement for him is insufficient to achieve the leap in the Law level."

Having used a near-top-tier sword technique like the Green Mountain Style, Blood Fiend Venerable didn't believe Lu Qingshan had any hidden cards up his sleeve. He had won this round.

However, winning wasn't very enjoyable.

Because Lu Qingshan's potential was too terrifying, his disciple Luosha would probably be unable to complete his orders 20,000 years from now.

It's best not to offend Lu Qingshan if we cancel Rakshasa's mission.

Seeing the attitude of Venerable Youyue and the others towards Lu Qingshan, Venerable Blood Fiend knew that Lu Qingshan must be receiving attention from the highest levels. Even if such a genius could not be befriended, there was no need to offend him.

None of those who can break through to the realm of the Universe Venerable are fools.

While talking.

Lu Qingshan has arrived at the 15th floor of the Tongtian Bridge.

“Everyone who can come here at the Realm Lord level is an exceptionally talented genius. However, if you want to surpass me, you will need to have the understanding of the laws of the Primordial Secret Realm Lord.”

The man in black looked at Lu Qingshan across from him and sighed.

"Hehe, I am the Lord of the Primal Secret Realm," Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

The opponent formed from this bridge-to-heaven dimension, whose mechanism is unknown, even possesses its own consciousness.

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but marvel at how terrifying the Primordial Ancestor standing behind the human race was.

Despite being suppressed by the primordial universe, the incredibly powerful secret technique of the virtual universe can still function normally.

If one has more luck and obtains some ancient inheritance, one may not be without the opportunity to truly seize control of the primordial universe.

"You're the realm lord of the Primordial Secret Realm? Then you're probably the weakest one."

The man in black had a smile on his face.

"Let's stop talking nonsense."

"Time freezes!"

Lu Qingshan made the first move.

Before the man in black could react, time around him seemed to have frozen.

at this time.

"Aoyama Ishiki."

The man in black broke free from the constraints of time and raised his hand to block, barely managing to withstand the attack.

But the initiative has already been lost.

"stagnate!"

"stagnate!"

"Puff!!"

After several instances of time freezing, the man in black finally failed to defend against Lu Qingshan's secret technique.

His figure slowly dissipated into the void.

Lu Qingshan sheathed his weapon, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

The difficulty of these fifteen levels has exceeded his expectations. If he doesn't use the "Green Mountain Style," a secret technique that is close to the top level, he probably won't be able to pass it even by simply relying on time freezing.

The insights gained into the laws of immortality and the attainment of a marquisate are truly terrifying! Thankfully, thankfully…

He had prepared for so long, all for the sake of making a name for himself. It would be a bit ridiculous if he couldn't get through these 15 floors. Fortunately, he made it through without any major incident.

The powerful figures watching from the outside were all stunned when Lu Qingshan used Time Freeze.

"Lu Qingshan's mastery of the fundamental laws of time is so profound that it is enough to gain the recognition of the laws of time."

"Wow, that's amazing! I thought I would definitely fail on the 15th floor, but I made it through so easily."

"This is what a genius from the Primal Secret Realm should be like!"

King Anju was all smiles. He had been expecting to lose 1 million Hunyuan, but instead of losing anything, he made 100 million Hunyuan.

It was like a pie falling from the sky and hitting him directly.

This Prince Lu Qingshan is indeed formidable. It seems I should talk to that kid Jin Jian more and try to get him to get on good terms with Lu Qingshan... Sigh, forget it. If I go to remind him, he might just ruin things. Let's just let things take their course.

In another space, Venerable Youyue smiled.

"Haha, everyone, I won't stand on ceremony."

"It's normal that we lost because we lacked foresight."

"Lu Qingshan's potential is a blessing for the human race. What does my loss of 100 billion Hunyuan matter?"

“This Lu Qingshan is indeed very strong; my disciple is far inferior to him.”

Several Venerables readily transferred 100 billion Chaos Units to Venerable Youyue. As Venerables, they certainly wouldn't renege on such a small amount of money.

A slight smile appeared on Venerable Youyue's face.

Seeing Lu Qingshan instantly killed by his opponent on the 16th floor of the Sky Bridge, he thought for a moment and then transferred half of the 300 billion Hunyuan units he had just earned to Lu Qingshan.

He was the head of the company's Secret Techniques Pavilion. Lu Qingshan had uploaded the secret manuals, so naturally he had a bank account number.

"Lu Qingshan, grow up quickly!"

Venerable Youyue left behind a hopeful blessing, and then disappeared like the other venerable ones.
