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

Chapter 168 The Compass of Time
"Your disciple Jin Jian has comprehended the 98th essence of the fundamental law of space and received a thousandfold return. Your understanding of the fundamental law of space has also improved."

I knew it! The system wouldn't have bugs. My son isn't a genius recognized by the cheat system, so how could he possibly get a cashback? Turns out it's the cheat code...

Lu Qingshan began to digest the experience of countless fundamental laws of space.

Several days later, these insights were fully digested.

Lu Qingshan gained a new understanding of his own strength.

"If I were to attempt to cross the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge now, even without using the Green Mountain Style, I should have a very good chance of succeeding based on my current understanding of the laws."

Last time he might have used some tricks, but this time he can get through by relying on his understanding of the laws. This is a true understanding of the laws that leads to immortality and the title of Marquis.

Lu Qingshan has a high level of understanding of the higher laws, especially the law of time. If he were to leave Chaos City now, he would immediately gain the recognition of the laws of the primordial universe. His understanding of the higher laws is not much worse than that of Hu Yanbo, who has been granted the title of Marquis and is now immortal.

"Jin Jian's talent is indeed remarkable, but he lacks the guidance of a renowned master. With my help, he should have a chance to enter the Primal Secret Realm next time. Given his personality, he would probably break through to the Realm Lord level immediately."

A slight smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's lips.

If so.

Then he has two second-class genius disciples at the realm lord level, and both of them have comprehended the fundamental laws of space.

In this way, his understanding of the fundamental laws of space will catch up quickly, and he won't be far from adjusting the cosmic chaos monument to the path of 'simultaneous cultivation of space and time'.

"Golden Sword, Blue... I'm counting on you two to master the fundamental laws of space!"

After digesting the insights and understanding gained from the cashback.

Lu Qingshan met his disciple Lingyu at the manor in Yuxiang Mountain in the virtual universe.

"Have you really decided?"

Lu Qingshan looked at Ling Yu and smiled as he spoke.

"Yes, teacher." Ling Yu nodded: "I have already passed the eighth level of the Myriad Universe Bridge. In the last cosmic-level qualification battle, no one in the Primal Secret Realm was my match. In the past thousand years, I have been to most of the cosmic-level trial secret realms. I should break through to the Domain Lord realm as soon as possible. Without competition, there will be no pressure!"

Lu Qingshan could understand his disciples' thoughts. Among his many disciples, apart from Lingxi, the others had always worked very hard. Even his eldest disciple, Leiming, was just more composed, but he had never slacked off in his cultivation.

Since leaving the Blood Continent, Ling Yu's talent has improved dramatically. She can analyze laws very quickly, leaving the other old people in the Primal Secret Realm far behind.

If she stays in the cosmic-level primordial secret realm, she will be an insurmountable mountain for others. Only by going to the domain lord-level primordial secret realm can she regain the motivation to compete.

"Don't you have any ideas about the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, which is at least a cosmic level? If we could get through it, we'd get a lot of points."

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Ling Yu was slightly tempted, but quickly shook her head firmly: "Forget it, a Domain Lord level expert needs to be sent out. Being too outstanding isn't good either."

"I never knew you had such a clever mind."

Lu Qingshan smiled.

He knew Ling Yu's thoughts. If he really stayed at the cosmic level and analyzed all 108 essences, passing through the cosmic-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain would definitely not be a problem. But if that happened... it would inevitably attract the attention of alien races, and the dangers he would face at the domain lord and world lord levels would be even greater.

Some people choose to be the most outstanding genius, while others choose to be a living genius; neither choice is wrong.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "After you break through to the Domain Lord level, don't rush to leave. I will give you a gift. It's not very precious, but it will be helpful in analyzing the essence of the subsequent Time Law."

Ling Yu nodded: "It won't be that fast. After breaking through to the Domain Lord level, I will be sent out, most likely to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The company definitely has many matters to arrange, so it will definitely take a long time."

"Yes, wherever you are, be careful and prioritize safety."

Lu Qingshan said solemnly.

“Master, I understand. I will quickly complete the tasks assigned by the company during this assignment, and then I will immediately return to Chaos City to cultivate. At that time…” Ling Yu smiled slightly, “I will be able to see you in the real world in Chaos City of the Initial Universe.”

"Hehe, then the teacher is waiting for you in Chaos City."

……

After a brief meeting with his disciple Lingyu at Yuxiang Mountain, Lu Qingshan asked Nasus to inquire about methods for sending items out of Chaos City.

“Master, it’s not difficult to send items out of Chaos City. You can directly find the Chaos City Guide. Every once in a while, when the Initial Universe Channel opens, you can send the items out. That’s how the Grandmasters who live in Chaos City trade items.”

"Moreover, if you buy scarce resources in Chaos City, they are basically transported in from outside. Chaos City has a special business for this."

"Then there's no problem. Nasus, please contact Mo Fan for me."

"Yes."

Soon, Lu Qingshan contacted Mo Fan. After learning of Lu Qingshan's needs, Mo Fan promised to transport the goods to the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters continent as quickly as possible. After breaking through to the Domain Lord level, Ling Yu would leave the Primal Secret Realm and await the company's arrangements at the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters continent.

……

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Mo Fan sent an email to Lu Qingshan, saying that the items he had entrusted had been shipped out.

Once you exit through the passage in the initial universe, you'll reach the virtual universe company's mainland headquarters, where you can directly hand over the reins to Ling Yu.

Half a day later, after the Time Source Pearl was delivered to Ling Yu, Lu Qingshan received a cashback message from the Golden Finger.

"You have received a thousandfold return for gifting the disciple Lingyu the 'Time Origin Pearl,' and you have obtained the Time Compass..."

"A time compass? What is that?"

Lu Qingshan asked Nasus to search, but even with his limited permissions, he couldn't find any relevant content.

This made Lu Qingshan frown slightly.

His authority is second only to the Grandmasters of Chaos City; he has the authority to search for basically 99% of the information.

There are only two possibilities why the Time Compass cannot find it: either the item's level is too high, and even he is not qualified to find it, or there is no record of this treasure in the virtual universe.

This is not surprising.

The Thunder Source Crystal and the two secret techniques that Bru returned could not be found in the virtual universe database.

"It seems that I still need to explore the effects of this Time Compass myself."

Lu Qingshan returned to the cultivation chamber in the small building.

He carefully took out a compass-shaped treasure that shone with a pale white light.

To avoid attracting the attention of important figures, he deliberately moved the items to his world ring before taking them out.

Even if this compass is some kind of extraordinary object, it can be explained as an opportunity that Lu Qingshan obtained before.

This is just in case.

No one knows whether the Lord of Chaos City is secretly watching him. The Lord of Chaos City controls a space-time region, so even if he is secretly observing him, Lu Qingshan would have no way of sensing it.

This compass...

Lu Qingshan carefully separated a wisp of his spiritual imprint and infiltrated it, testing whether it could deny its master.

"very smooth."

Lu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming into contact with its own spiritual imprint, the compass successfully recognized its owner.

However, what happened next was beyond Lu Qingshan's expectations.

After recognizing its owner, the compass emitted a milky white light, which spread in all directions... Lu Qingshan clearly saw that the potted plants in his secret room withered and turned to ash, and the few pieces of furniture also seemed to have become very old, soon emitting a rotten smell.

"Is this the compass's attack method? This light..."

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Because he was very familiar with this light.

Back in that mysterious place, when he received the inheritance of the Body of Time, it was this same light that constantly eroded his body...

Under the influence of this corrosive power, the Ghost King's clone was able to quickly master that secret technique, increasing the amplitude of his body's power exertion to 5000, which is 50 times the amplitude effect.

After the inheritance ended, Lu Qingshan was very regretful because without the power of time erosion, it would be extremely difficult for the Time Body to continue to improve. Not only would it consume a lot of energy, but the effect would also be negligible. It would be virtually impossible for a human to succeed in cultivating the physical body.

The appearance of this time compass brought about a turning point.

So to say.

Besides his ghost king clone, his human body can also cultivate that mysterious body amplification technique.
After receiving the inheritance, Lu Qingshan had all the contents of that cultivation technique in his mind. Now that he had the conditions to cultivate it, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

That secret technique, when fully mastered, can cultivate a body amplitude of 100 times, which is the limit of the primordial universe and has already surpassed the level of peak secret techniques!
