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

Chapter 189 Lu Qingshan's Expectations
King Rift only briefly read out the list; the specific positions and work details would be sent to each person's email address later.

Joining the Virtual Universe Company and enjoying high-level benefits and privileges naturally comes with the obligation to fulfill one's duties.

Rights and obligations are a reciprocal relationship.

“Congratulations, Luo, Jemin... You can stay and work at the Virtual Universe Corporation headquarters.”

An immortal military lord, assigned to work in a remote space nation, offered his congratulations with envy.

They were a group of realm masters who entered the initial universe to comprehend the truth, and they joined the virtual universe company together, but their assigned jobs were completely different.

Luo and his colleagues work at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, where their compensation and promotion opportunities are far superior to Luo's.

"It's just a delivery job for a transportation company. The company headquarters is full of big shots. What are we? You are the ones who are superior. Once you go to the Cosmic Kingdom, you will be the noble immortal gods of the Virtual Universe Company. Your social status is beyond our reach."

Jemin patted the other person on the shoulder and offered a word of comfort.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better. Keep up the good work, Jieming. Let's get together again sometime in the future."

"No need to wait for an opportunity. Once everyone has secured their jobs, I will host a banquet in the virtual universe, and everyone is welcome to attend."

"Haha, good, Jemin's banquet must be quite high-class."

"Jermin, I look forward to your banquet."

……

After the work was arranged, a group of people left one after another, and Jieming and his six friends gathered together.

"Thanks to the teachers, we were able to stay at headquarters and work together."

Although they had just comforted others by saying that headquarters was not good, Jieming and the others knew in their hearts that staying at headquarters was the best option.

“Yes, I just looked at our job description. We don’t need to run around. We just need to receive goods and geniuses that are transported from other places to headquarters by the transportation company. And we’re all together. Luo is our supervisor.”

"This job is too easy, the pay is good... and there's even a chance to go to the initial universe."

They deliver goods from headquarters, so naturally they have to deal with the primordial universe.

Within Chaos City, some Kings and Universe Venerables need to have something sent in from the outside if they need to purchase it.

"Thanks to the teacher, if it weren't for the teacher, this job would definitely not have fallen to us."

"If it weren't for our teacher, we might not even be able to break through to immortality, let alone have a job..."

"Yes, the teacher should have gone to the Primordial Secret Realm by now."

"I don't know."

Lu Qingshan's disciples all knew whose credit they had for their success.

In the human race's social context, disciples must respect their teachers, or they will be scorned by everyone.

Therefore, even though the five of them had already broken through to the level of immortal gods, they dared not show the slightest disrespect to their teacher, who was still the realm lord.

"There's still a thousand-year holiday ahead. What are everyone's plans?" Luo, who rarely speaks, asked proactively.

"Lo, what are your thoughts?" Jemin asked Lo.

Luo glanced in the direction of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and said, "I plan to go back to my hometown. Now that I've broken through to the Immortal God realm, I want to see my old buddies."

Despite saying this, what Luo truly longed to see was his ascetic teacher. It was his teacher who bestowed upon him the qualification to comprehend the primordial universe, changing his destiny and allowing him not only to break through to immortality but also to attain his current status.

It could be said that the teacher was his savior. As for His Highness Lu Qingshan, he was merely a benefactor who appreciated him.

He didn't envy Jieming and the others for becoming disciples of Prince Lu Qingshan and receiving such generous rewards...

Although his teacher was just an ascetic, he was the person Luo respected most.

"Going home, I want to go back and see. How can I, in my wealth and honor, not return to my hometown?"

Yan Shan said expectantly.

"It is indeed time to go back and take a look. The family spent so many resources to send us into the initial universe, and now that we have become immortal gods, we should go back to put their minds at ease."

Mu Yu nodded in agreement.

After listening to his fellow disciples, Jieming nodded and said, "In that case, everyone go back to your respective places. While you're at it, build your own divine kingdoms. Don't forget to leave divine power coordinates near your hometown so you can teleport back whenever you want in the future."

"Right, right, I had forgotten that immortal gods could teleport to their divine kingdoms if you hadn't mentioned it."

"For a divine kingdom to be transmitted, there must be a divine kingdom. Let's each find a place to create our own divine kingdom first."

……

While the disciples were discussing returning home, Lu Qingshan was traveling to the Primal Secret Realm on a spaceship arranged by the Virtual Universe Company.

The four secret realms of the Virtual Universe Company are not located on the headquarters continent. The closest original secret realm is about 0.4 billion light-years away from the headquarters and is located in the same universe as the headquarters continent.

The next Primordial Realm, 1.2 million light-years from the headquarters, is located in another cosmic kingdom.

The Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth... The Secret Realm of the Apocalypse... Depending on the level of the secret realm, it becomes increasingly distant from the headquarters.

The spaceship traveled at 50 times the speed of light in the dark universe and soon arrived at the primeval secret realm.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, ahead lies the Ninth Dimension, also known as the Wuchen Dimension, which is the residence of 115 princes from the Primal Secret Realm."

Logically speaking, the core members of the Primal Secret Realm consist of only 113 people: 3 at the Universe level, 10 at the Domain Lord level, and 100 at the World Lord level.

However, there are one temporary member each for the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle, so there are only 115 people.

After Lingyu and Jinjian obtained the status of members of the Primal Secret Realm at the Domain Lord level, they chose to break through to the Realm Lord level, and automatically obtained the status of Primal Secret Realm Lord level members...

This status can probably be maintained until the next battle for the qualification of the realm master begins.

Lu Qingshan gazed into the distance, where 136 stars in the void moved along a special trajectory, seemingly containing some kind of rule.

"Your Highness, these 136 stars form their own space-time, and even a cosmic venerable cannot break into them," the immortal deity accompanying them explained.

"Truly extraordinary!"

Lu Qingshan nodded.

Virtual Universe Company's protection of geniuses is indeed thorough. These 136 stars are probably just the visible protection measures. Who knows if there is any powerful human being stationed here?

If a foreign race dares to come here to assassinate someone, it's no different from suicide.

The spaceship was granted permission to enter and traveled at near-light speed for half a month before landing above a vast continent. The immortal deity who had escorted Lu Qingshan pointed to rows of enormous manors below and said, "Your Highness, I'll take you this far. Below is where you reside in the Primal Secret Realm. Your manor number is 116. Your guards and servants are already waiting for you over there."

"Thank you."

Lu Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting, stepped out of the cabin, and appeared outside Manor No. 116 in the next moment. "Greetings, Your Highness."

With a whoosh, a group of people knelt down on one knee in unison, numbering approximately tens of thousands.

In front were soldiers in military armor, and behind them were staff members in ordinary clothes, presumably servants.

The continent of Wuchen is vast and boundless, with only 116 World Lords residing there. One can imagine how large the territory allocated to each of them is.

Lu Qingshan's manor is comparable in size to a planet.

It's quite normal for such a large place to have tens of thousands of servants.

"Everyone, get up."

Lu Qingshan smiled and spoke.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone then stood up.

At the forefront of the crowd stood an immortal deity. He stepped forward and respectfully said, "Your Highness, I am Udir, the commander of Your Highness's Guard. The Guard consists of one immortal deity, ten realm lords, one hundred domain lords, and one thousand universe-level beings. We completely obey Your Highness's orders."

"Udyr, just keep them in check. Tell them to leave for now. I'll contact you if I need anything."

"It's Your Highness."

Udir was slightly disappointed, but he still nodded and waved the group of soldiers away.

The guards and commanders of the original secret realm lords are actually quite useless. They are okay at lower levels, but at the realm lord level, they are basically just decorations because their strength may not even be as good as the people they are supposed to protect.

It's nothing more than going somewhere and making a show of force. Most low-key world lords don't even have this kind of need, so their guards are basically just decorative.

“Your Highness, I am the butler Ford. I am in charge of some of the trivial matters in the manor.”

"Ford, take me to the estate."

"It's Your Highness."

Ford bowed respectfully and then led the way.

Although Ford looked like a hunched old man, he was quite strong. It was estimated that even the top instructors in the Qianwu Secret Realm would be no match for him. He was very fast and introduced Lu Qingshan to each place.

"Your Highness, this is the study."

"This is the training ground."

"This is a place for leisure and entertainment."

"This is the kitchen..."

It took Ford half a day to give a complete introduction to the estate.

"Ford, you have great talent, it's a bit of a waste for you to be a butler."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

In the past half day, he had naturally seen Ford's talent. A third-class genius... he had a great chance of breaking through to the realm of immortal gods.

For other third-rate geniuses, it might be difficult to break through to the Immortal God realm, but Ford is different. He lives in the Primal Secret Realm, where his comprehension of the laws, while not as good as in the Initial Universe, far surpasses other places, and the dense cosmic primal force has already formed mist.

Here, even a powerful realm lord can easily gather a large amount of cosmic crystals with a simple grab.

Every realm lord who comes here can instantly become a money-printing machine.

"Your Highness flatters me. My talent is nothing special, and it is Ford's good fortune to be able to serve Your Highness here."

Ford answered with trepidation.

Lu Qingshan smiled but didn't say much. He no longer thought much of a third-rate genius. After all, third-rate geniuses were a dime a dozen in the initial universe, and if you went to the Apocalypse Secret Realm, almost half of the tens of millions of Realm Lords would be third-rate geniuses!

Moreover, Lu Qingshan discovered a problem: as more disciples comprehended the same type of law, the cashback did not increase exponentially.

If the cashback is 10 for one disciple, it would be 18 for two disciples, and 25 for three disciples.

Although it is still increasing, some wear and tear will occur in the middle, which is especially obvious when the disciple's level is low.

Therefore, before leaving Chaos City, facing those thousand third-class geniuses, and even some second-class geniuses, Lu Qingshan did not take the initiative to spend time and effort to take them as disciples.

Of course, if they take the initiative to become his disciples, especially second-rate geniuses, Lu Qingshan is still very willing to accept them.

I rested in the study for a while.

Lu Qingshan checked his email.

I selected emails from several key figures.

He first checked the email sent by his second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King.

"That immortal god of the Mad Blade has actually been imprisoned in the Star Prison Cage?"

This result greatly surprised Lu Qingshan. He originally thought that removing the stain on Paris and giving that Blade Clan Immortal a warning would be enough. It seems that he had underestimated the influence of his senior brother, the Whale King.

"The teacher has been living in Leiting Mountain recently and often goes out for walks. He looks good... It's normal for people to be in high spirits when they have good things to do."

Lu Qingshan then looked at the other emails.

He received an email from Senior Sister Xuewei, celebrating his passing of the 17th floor of the Sky Bridge.

There was also an email from his son, Lu Lingxiao, saying that he had broken through to the Realm Lord level.

"Ling Xiao has broken through?"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Over the years, he successively sent the first layer of the Blood Rose King's scroll to his son. Lu Lingxiao's affinity with the laws was a little weak, but with those scrolls, he still improved his understanding of the laws step by step. With the help of Lu Qingshan's gift, he purchased some resources and upgraded himself to the level of Realm Lord.

Ten thousand years ago, not to mention Lu Lingxiao, even Lu Qingshan himself wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing.

The Lu family is now probably a major force in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

“Jermin and the others have returned to their hometown and will not return to take up their posts for another thousand years. That’s good… It’s just in time for Luo to go back and see the treasure that my Ghost King clone left for him.”

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"Hopefully I'll be lucky this time and get a critical hit!"
