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

Chapter 171 Prince Lu Qingshan has arrived

Thunder Mountain, halfway up a manor.

The Blood Fiend Venerable is instructing his disciple in cultivation.

"Rakshasa, your move has barely reached the level of an ordinary secret technique. If you continue to refine it, its power will increase considerably. You have not disappointed your master's expectations."

Dressed in black, Rakshasa's slender body contained immense energy. He spoke with unwavering resolve: "I must thank my teacher for building this trial space for me. I will definitely elevate this move to the 'ordinary' level before the qualification battle and break into the Primal Secret Realm of the Realm Lord."

"I'm satisfied that you have this idea... The Primal Secret Realm..."

He seemed lost in memories.

After a while.

The Blood Fiend Venerable continued, "If you can break into the Primal Secret Realm, I will be very proud."

Even after all these years, the Blood Fiend Venerable still can't forget what happened before.

"Teacher, you gave me a task three thousand years ago, why did you cancel it? Does the teacher think that his disciple is inferior to that Lu Qingshan?"

This was the first time in all these years that Rakshasa had met her teacher, so she asked the question that had been on her mind.

The Blood Fiend Venerable smiled and said, "It's not that I think you're inferior to him. You created this ordinary secret technique, and your strength is already close to the level of the 16th floor of the Heavenly Bridge. Ten thousand years from now, Lu Qingshan probably won't be your match. But... I don't want you to oppose Lu Qingshan! Although he's not as good as you right now, if he doesn't fall in the future, his achievements will be astonishing. Even I need to treat him with caution. Just treat the mission from back then as a joke."

"Teacher, what exactly is the merit of this Lu Qingshan that even you..."

Rakshasa was shocked.

His teacher was a cosmic venerable one; there were only a few thousand cosmic venerables of the same caliber as his teacher among the entire human race.

Why does the teacher value Lu Qingshan so much?

Right now.

An email appeared in Rakshasa's inbox.

He glanced at it, his expression slightly moved.

"Teacher, was Lu Qingshan the one who crossed the 15-level Heavenly Bridge a thousand years ago in the initial universe?"

"Yes, that's right, the teacher saw it with his own eyes."

The Blood Fiend Venerable frowned slightly, wondering why his disciple was asking this.

"Teacher, the company just sent a message that Lu Qingshan, the master of the Primal Secret Realm, has passed the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge."

Rakshasa revealed the news.

"16 floors!"

Even the Blood Fiend Venerable showed a look of surprise at this moment. He originally thought that Lu Qingshan might not be able to reach this level even after ten thousand years, and should not be a match for his disciple. After all, no matter how good Lu Qingshan's talent was, the time-space cultivation would still hinder his progress.

The Cosmic Chaos Stele is the most difficult Chaos Stele to comprehend; Blood Fiend Venerable himself has personally experienced it.

Blood Fiend Venerable knew that his disciple would not dare to deceive him, but he still confirmed it with Baffin, and was even more surprised.

After a long while, he sighed, "This Lu Qingshan is truly a peerless genius. His speed in comprehending the laws is as simple as drinking water. Even I couldn't compare to him back then. If we're talking about the core members of your realm, who has a chance to break through that Primordial Tongtian Mountain? I'm afraid only he has that hope."

As he spoke, the Blood Fiend Venerable recalled the figures of the top geniuses he had met before, and after comparing them, he found that none of them were as good as Lu Qingshan.

"Teacher, the Primal Secret Realm has two geniuses who have crossed the 18-level Heavenly Bridge."

Rakshasa was surprised by her teacher's judgment.

What amazing ability does Lu Qingshan possess that makes his teacher praise him so highly? He's a Realm Lord-level Primordial Tongtian Mountain! Only those with the comprehension of laws at the peak of the King-level can have a chance to pass through it!

Even among the Grandmasters who cultivate in Chaos City, ninety percent cannot reach this level!

Blood Fiend Venerable shook his head: "You don't need to ask about anything else. Just remember one thing: as long as Lu Qingshan is alive, don't go against him. If you can be on good terms with him, it will definitely be beneficial to your future."

After saying that, the Blood Fiend Venerable said nothing more and turned back into his room.

Rakshasa stood there for a long time, filled with curiosity about the original secret realm master named Lu Qingshan.

"Lu Qingshan... More than ten thousand years from now, I will also enter the Primal Secret Realm. At that time, I will see just how strong you are. I hope you won't disappoint me..."

As a genius, especially one who fought his way up from the apocalyptic secret realm, he naturally had an indomitable spirit. His teacher's words just now only fueled his fighting spirit.

……

Meanwhile, inside a small building near the roadside in Chaos City.

A dozen or so Realm Lords, all recognized by the fundamental laws, gathered together. They were all from the previous batch of Realm Lords who had entered Chaos City together for secluded cultivation. Luo was the host of this banquet, and he was sitting in the middle of the group, with the ape-man youth, Jieming, sitting next to him.

"Luo, congratulations! You have comprehended the fundamental laws of light... From now on, you will be an immortal god."

Jemin looked on with envy.

He entered the initial universe to cultivate with Luo and was one of Luo's few good friends. If it weren't for his insistence, Luo wouldn't have planned to hold this banquet.

"Luo was just lucky, and quite a few people comprehended the fundamental laws this time. In our batch, I ranked thirteenth."

There are countless geniuses in the universe. Those who can obtain the qualification to comprehend the initial universe are all those who are just one step away from comprehending the laws and are making their final attempt. Among them, more than a dozen people broke through before Luo.

“Luo, you are different from them. You also master the fundamental law of time. Once you break through to immortality, your strength will be on a completely different level from theirs. Even if they were tied together, they probably wouldn’t be your match.”

“Yes, Luo, with your understanding of the laws, once you break through to the Immortal God realm, you will definitely be one of the best among the Immortal Gods. What are your plans next? Will you leave the initial universe to break through to immortality and create a divine kingdom, or will you stay here like us?”

“I plan to stay. I still have over a thousand years to study and comprehend it, and I don’t want to waste that time.”

A faint smile appeared on Luo's aged face.

After comprehending the fundamental laws of light, the pressure in his heart lessened, and he no longer cared about his appearance. As long as he broke through to immortality and his soul and body merged to become a body of laws, this damage to his body would have no impact at all.

"Luo, you made the right choice. This qualification to comprehend the initial universe is too precious. Even immortals find it extremely difficult to obtain. You must not waste it... Moreover, I suggest that you take this opportunity to join one of the five major powers. This way, you can challenge the Bridge to Heaven and obtain multiple qualifications to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

Jemin patted Luo on the shoulder and said.

"Jermin, how do you know so much?"

Luo asked curiously.

"Yes, Jemin, do you perhaps know an immortal god who works in Chaos City?"

Everyone else was filled with curiosity. To others, these realm lords who had obtained the qualification to comprehend were just passersby. Few people would take the initiative to befriend them or tell them these things.

"Hehe." Jieming said excitedly, "Luo, actually, all of this was guided by His Highness Lu Qingshan. A thousand years ago, didn't we meet His Highness Lu Qingshan once in Chaos City? I met him again after that. His Highness Lu Qingshan even gave me a virtual universe number. I would ask him about any questions I didn't understand. His Highness Lu Qingshan is a very enthusiastic person."

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan? That prince from the Primal Secret Realm?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, looking at Jieming with envy. This guy had unknowingly gotten to know His Highness Lu Qingshan.

"What Prince Lu Qingshan? Who are you talking about?"

Another realm lord spoke up and asked.

“Colin, you entered the Initial Universe a few days later than us, so you don’t know. Back then, Luo, most of the others, and I all came to the Initial Universe with Prince Lu Qingshan. He was the Lord of the Primordial Secret Realm and the junior brother of a Grandmaster who was granted the title of King.”

"That's what Jemin explained."

Of that group of people, some were brought in by the Dragon Whale King, and others were brought in by another powerful king. Colin was from the latter group.

"Jeming, you guys are so lucky to have the chance to meet a prince from a primeval secret realm."

"Yes, Jemin, don't forget us when you become successful."

Jemin beamed with pride: "Actually, I also sent an invitation to His Highness Qingshan for today's gathering, but he's too busy with his cultivation to come."

"It's normal that Prince Qingshan isn't coming. What right do we have to celebrate with Prince Qingshan?"

"Yes, that's the realm lord of the Primordial Secret Realm, the junior brother of a King-level expert. Our family's strongest ancestor was only a high-level military lord."

"Once His Highness Qingshan breaks through to the Immortal Realm, he will likely become a Marquis Immortal immediately. In our Yanfeng Universe Kingdom, he will be a very important figure."

……

Everyone chimed in with their own words, boasting and bragging.

At that moment, Jemin suddenly stood up, his face showing disbelief, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Prince Qingshan replied to my email. He said he would be coming over in a little while."

"What? His Highness Qingshan is coming?"

"Jermin, you're so impressive."

"What are you still chatting about? Hurry up and go to the door to greet Prince Qingshan!"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and go out to greet them!"

Before Jieming could make any arrangements, all the dozen or so powerful Realm Lords stood up and spontaneously headed towards the door.
