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

Chapter 169 Body Amplification, Lingyu's Revenge

"The corrosive light emanating from this compass is quite powerful; it could probably even corrode the divine body of an immortal god."

Lu Qingshan discovered that after recognizing the compass as his master, he could easily control it and manipulate the corrosive light within it.

He guessed that the compass was probably not some great treasure, but just a rare and wonderful object, probably of the same type as the complete set of Time Source Pearls.

It can be used as a means of attack, and it can also be used to assist in cultivation.

Moreover, this corrosive light is definitely not as simple as just cultivating the Time Body technique.

"Let's try it out first."

Lu Qingshan manipulated the Time Compass, first using the lowest setting of the Corrosive Light. When the Corrosive Light came into contact with his skin, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in his body.

Despite his superior bloodline, he was powerless against the corrosive light. The parts of his body that came into contact with the corrosive light began to show signs of aging.

However, due to his control, even the weakest wave of corrosive light he could unleash did not cause him significant damage.

"The Body of Time..."

Lu Qingshan began to operate this secret technique.

这门身体振幅秘法一共有五重，第一重修炼成功增加8倍振幅、第二重16倍、第三重32倍、第四重64倍、第五重100倍！
The Ghost King's clone directly cultivated to the fourth level through the Inheritance Palace, but the fourth level was not cultivated to a perfect state, so it only had 50 times the body amplitude.

Having gained experience with the Ghost King's clone, Lu Qingshan had a thorough understanding of the cultivation of the Time Body up to the fourth level.

By activating the Time Body Secret Technique and combining it with the mysterious corrosive light, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in his body.

First and foremost, it hurts!!

Guided by the secret technique, the corrosive light penetrated directly into his body, his flesh and bones seemed to shatter completely, and then slowly reassembled, again and again... If one's will is not strong, one simply cannot endure this kind of pain.

In comparison, things were much simpler when we were in the Palace of Inheritance.

"Although it hurts a lot, it's still a little bit worse than fusing with the Blood Crystal."

Lu Qingshan grunted and gritted his teeth to persevere.

The fusion of Blood Crystal and Time Crystal caused not only intense physical pain but also immense pressure on the will. Under this dual combination, the pain penetrated deep into the soul, whereas the initial cultivation of the Time Body only involved physical pain.

This little bit of pain is nothing to Lu Qingshan.

He slowly began to cultivate, and the secret techniques of the Light of Corrosion and the Body of Time achieved a delicate balance within his body.

"The corrosive power has gradually stabilized; we can increase it a bit more."

Sensing the secret technique rapidly absorbing the corrosive light, Lu Qingshan increased the power of the Time Compass by one level.

hiss! !

The pain intensified several times over with just a slight increase in height, and half of Lu Qingshan's arm became withered and shriveled.

However, as the corrosive light was absorbed, his superior bloodline's powerful healing ability quickly restored his arm to normal.

"It's acceptable, but that's all for now."

Lu Qingshan discovered that although the corrosive light emitted by the Time Compass was the same as that of the Inheritance Palace, the actual effect was very different. The Inheritance Palace must have other auxiliary functions, otherwise the difference could not be so great.

The speed at which his Ghost King clone cultivated in the Inheritance Palace was a hundred or a thousand times slower than it is now.

He had mastered the secret techniques by heart, and had already fully grasped the first few levels through the Ghost King's clone; the only difference lay in the external conditions.

The difference in genes is only one factor; the main problem is the lack of supporting conditions. It's okay to cultivate the first level of the Time Body this way, but for the second and third levels, you must be fully prepared before you can cultivate.

The secret method was gradually changing his body; the process was painful and lengthy.

Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry.

He was already very satisfied with this progress.

After all, this is a secret technique for body amplification, something that many kings and immortals desperately desire.

So what if cultivation is a little slow? Being able to cultivate at all is already an incredible stroke of luck.

……

About five years have passed...

When he opened his eyes again, the entire secret room was filled with a putrid smell. Lu Qingshan's body was riddled with holes and he was very old.

The clothes he wore had long since vanished under the erosion of time.

"Hoohoo!"

Lu Qingshan stood up, and a light blue robe appeared on his body.

Slowly, his body began to recover... his muscles gradually grew back, and he returned to his original state.

"I have finally succeeded in cultivating the first level of the Body of Time! I now have eight times the body's amplitude." Looking at the Time Compass placed to the side, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

Although this item is not a major treasure, its value to me is definitely greater than that of ordinary major treasures!

only……

Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that the corrosive light in the compass had significantly decreased.

If this kind of cultivation continues, it won't be long before it's completely depleted.

"I wonder how to replenish the corrosive light of this compass? Is it replenished by natural energy absorption, or are there any other ways to accelerate it?"

None of the treasures offered by the "Golden Finger" method had instructions on how to use them, so Lu Qingshan had to figure them out on his own.

He knew nothing about the Time Compass; he merely used it and was completely unaware of any other information.

The only thing he was certain of was that this Time Compass was not a disposable item and could definitely be replenished, though he wasn't sure how.

Lu Qingshan put away the Time Compass.

This thing must not be known to others, otherwise even the Venerable Ones of the Universe would be tempted. Although the Venerable Ones in the human territory dare not openly deal with him, this primordial universe is too big, and there are too many races that do not respect the human race.

Lu Qingshan's principle in dealing with things is to be high-profile when necessary and cautious when appropriate.

……

After leaving the cultivation chamber, Lu Qingshan went to the rooftop of the small building.

"Nasus, check your emails."

He cultivated for five years, while only fifteen years had passed in the outside world, which wasn't a long time. There were only three emails in his inbox.

One of the letters was from Ling Yu. About five years ago, Ling Yu's posting was finalized. He was the inspector of the branch of the Virtual Universe Company in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the same position as Luo Feng...

“Ling Yu is exceptionally intelligent and shouldn’t be in conflict with the several Marquis Immortals from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch. Moreover, she comes from the Qianwu Secret Realm, has Marquis Silver Moon as her teacher, and the Qianwu Kingdom Lord is paying close attention to her. Even if those three Marquis Immortals from the Virtual Universe Company branch are found to have something to do with Ling Yu, they probably wouldn’t dare to make a move against her.”

"As long as there is no assassination attempt by alien races, the safety of the Spirit Feather Domain Lord should not be a problem."

After reading the email, Lu Qingshan did not reply, but continued to check the remaining emails.

The other two emails were nothing serious; they were both from Virtual Universe Company.

A certain realm master of a primordial secret realm successfully crossed the 16th and 17th levels of the Heavenly Bridge. The company sent two emails, simply to motivate others.

They crossed the 16th and 17th floors of the sky bridge in a row!

Lu Qingshan had a slight smile on his face. This world lord named 'August' had probably returned from training in a cosmic secret realm or an extraterrestrial battlefield, and his strength had greatly improved.

Having crossed the 17th level of the Heavenly Bridge, this was already a peak level of understanding of the laws at the Marquis level. Among the Primordial Secret Realm Masters, they were all geniuses.

"In the past few years, I have gained many insights into the fundamental laws of space. I should go and see the Chaos Stele. Maybe I can comprehend 'spatial distortion' in one fell swoop. That way, I will gain the recognition of the two superior fundamental laws of time and space at the same time."

A moment later, Lu Qingshan arrived at the bronze gate of the Cosmic Chaos Monument, greeted Kandri, and walked straight in.

Another advantage of choosing this Cosmic Chaos Monument is that there is basically no need to queue. As long as you come, you can go in and comprehend it directly. It is rare to encounter a situation where other people are comprehending it.

During the time when Lu Qingshan was comprehending the Chaos Stele.

The distant Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

On execution platforms across the Qianwu Continent, Kunshaluo's younger brother, the demonic realm lord, and a group of core employees of the Treasure Pavilion were all captured, kneeling on the ground, their faces ashen.

Lingyu's cold eyes were devoid of any emotion.

"Khunsaruo used a fake map of the secret realm to harm 164 powerful individuals of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom who were at least Realm Lords, including 12 Immortals and 5 external members of the Virtual Universe Company. His crimes are unforgivable. Khunsaruo is sentenced to death and all his property is confiscated. Khunsaruo is currently on the run. I, on behalf of the Virtual Universe Company, am offering a reward of 10 Chaos Units, dead or alive!"

"You are all relatives and henchmen of Khun Sa Luo. While working at the Treasure Pavilion, you defrauded dozens of customers who sold you treasures. Your crimes are equally unforgivable. You are sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an immortal expert from the Martial Arts Department of the Virtual Universe Company beside Ling Yu made a move, and with a single palm strike, everyone was reduced to ashes!

A petite girl dressed in a black gauze dress chuckled and said, "Your Highness Lingyu, rest assured, Kunshaluo deserves to die. If he dares to return to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the three of us will definitely capture him. Marquis Zidian and Marquis Jinyu are hosting a banquet at the company's branch; would Your Highness do us the honor of joining us..."

"it is good."

Lingyu did not refuse.

In the process of arresting Khun Saro's cronies, several ministers from the Qianwu branch of Virtual Universe Company did indeed put in a great deal of effort.

Upon hearing this answer, the petite girl in the black gauze dress smiled even more brightly.

Ten years ago, when they learned that Prince Lingyu was coming soon, the three of them were worried and fearful for a long time. They knew Lingyu's background and could not afford to offend him, but they were also afraid that they would be found out about their problems. They racked their brains to think of many ways to please Lingyu...

Unexpectedly, after taking office, this person completely ignored their affairs and instead relentlessly pursued the Treasure Pavilion. The three were naturally overjoyed. With the three ministers working together, the Treasure Pavilion's misdeeds were thoroughly investigated in just a few days, leading to today's scene.

The spaceship slowly ascended into the sky. Lingyu watched the Qianwu Continent recede into the distance and murmured to herself, "Teacher, I have destroyed the Treasure Pavilion. Although Kunshaluo has escaped, I will definitely find him and avenge you!"
