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

Chapter 195 The Gift from the King of Qianwu Kingdom, Departure
Trial space.

With a loud bang, Sirius's massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up countless specks of dust.

On its waist, a gruesome wound almost severed it in two. Blood flowed from the break, a truly horrifying sight.

Lu Qingshan stood still, quietly watching everything.

The wolf who fought him for years and ultimately crushed him is now unable to withstand even a single move from him.

"As expected, the wolf's weakness is its waist, where it lacks bone structure... even Sirius is no exception."

However, a weakness is one that can be targeted. Even though Lu Qingshan knew this information before, he was still helpless against Tianlang.

Without extreme speed, how could Sirius, who is known for his speed, possibly allow you to attack his weak point?

"The next opponent!"

"Next!"

……

Day after day of killing, Lu Qingshan didn't know how many opponents he had killed.

Finally, a crisp notification sound rang out.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Lu Qingshan. You have defeated five hundred opponents and achieved initial success. Your self-created secret technique has reached the top level."

"Five hundred already?"

Lu Qingshan was not surprised. Before coming here, he knew that his secret technique had reached the top level. Looking at the dark cave in front of him, he knew that there were countless opponents he had never seen before inside.

"Five hundred isn't enough. Let's see where my limit is!"

Lu Qingshan chose to continue, honing his swordsmanship as always.

After killing more than 500 enemies, the opponents become stronger, and the difficulty increases dramatically with each kill.

Lu Qingshan tried his best, but only managed to kill 650 people before he began to feel overwhelmed.

At this number, a special life form occasionally appears. For example, the last special life form had a pair of silver eyes. With just one glance from him, it was as if time stopped around Lu Qingshan!
This is a special life form similar to the Ghost King's clone, but possesses an even more powerful time-stopping talent.

Lu Qingshan nearly died in this battle.

Fortunately, the opponent's attack ability was relatively average. In the brief moment when time stopped, he did not kill Lu Qingshan instantly. Instead, Lu Qingshan used the Thousand Star Waves move to end his life.

After a short rest.

Footsteps echoed again inside the cave.

Before even seeing the other person's face, a strong, intense heat rushed towards me.

Lu Qingshan's expression was solemn.

Gradually, the dark cave seemed to be dyed red.

A colossal, lizard-like beast engulfed in red flames appeared before Lu Qingshan.

"Crimson Flame Beast!"

Lu Qingshan's pupils contracted slightly as he uttered the name of this special life.

Whoohoo! !

Before Lu Qingshan could think further, a terrifying flame was spewed from the mouth of the Crimson Flame Beast.

The powerful flames almost filled the entire cave, and Lu Qingshan himself was naturally engulfed. In this terrifying flame, his body gradually melted and eventually turned into a pool of blood. During this process, Lu Qingshan could feel the pain in his body.

However, with his experience in fusing the Blood Crystal and cultivating the Body of Time, Lu Qingshan could still bear this pain.

"Terrifying. No wonder it is a born fire monarch, a special life form that lives in the magma of stars."

Upon regaining consciousness, Lu Qingshan exclaimed in surprise.

This Crimson Flame Beast is almost invincible. Without strong defensive capabilities, or by killing it before it can make a move, there is no way to pass this level!
That flame was terrifying; it annihilated everything in its path, and could probably even burn the bodies of immortal gods to ashes!
Special life forms are indeed the darlings of the primordial universe.

Compared to them, the major races seem too weak. Not to mention the human race, whose highest bloodline is only at the Domain Lord level, and even the royal bloodline of the demon race only has 6 times the genetic potential.

Special life forms have at least ten times the genetic makeup, and at most several thousand times, or even tens of thousands of times, the genetic makeup.

And crucially, they also possess terrifying innate secret techniques.

The fire-based laws wielded by the Crimson Flame Beast are probably more than a thousand times more powerful than those wielded by immortal human gods.

Lu Qingshan had no intention of trying again.

There is currently almost no way to get past this hurdle!
It's already quite impressive that he was able to elevate the Green Mountain Sword Technique to the top level in such a short time.

There are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. It's impossible to defeat all your opponents in one fell swoop.

"Trial over!"

The world returned to silence, and the wooden figure that had disappeared reappeared.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Lu Qingshan! You created a top-level secret technique at the Realm Lord level. You truly deserve to be called a top genius of the Primal Secret Realm."

The wooden figure had a stiff expression, but spoke with great experience.

Thank you. May I ask your name?

Lu Qingshan knew that this wooden figure was an intelligent life form.

"My name is Wanmu, you can also call me Trial Manager."

The wooden figure spoke.

"Manager, I have 700 years left in my trial period. Can I keep it indefinitely?"

Lu Qingshan asked.

"Of course..." the wooden figure said with a smile, "As long as Your Highness has the time to use the trial space, you can be teleported here at any time. However, Your Highness's current secret technique is already at the top level. If you want to upgrade it to the peak secret technique, seven hundred years may not be enough."

"It would be good if I could improve even a little next time. I'm still a long way from reaching the pinnacle of secret techniques!"

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"Wanmu, I'm leaving now. See you next time."

"Your Highness, see you next time."

……

Lu Qingshan exited the trial space and returned to his manor on the Wuchen Continent.

"Master, during your trial, the official website of the Virtual Universe Company sent you an email."

Nasus's deep voice rang out. "The official Virtual Universe Corporation? Are they urging me to participate in the Trial of Life and Death?"

Lu Qingshan opened the email and took a look.

The discovery wasn't a call to action to send him to the extraterritorial battlefield, but rather a message to him to reach a place called the Banyan Wood Continent within thirty years and obtain the Heart of the Banyan Wood.

This email is too simple. It just tells me to go to the Banyan Wood Continent to get the Banyan Wood Heart, without saying anything else.

"Nasus, would you like to inquire about the Banyan Tree Clan?"

Since there was no information in the email, Lu Qingshan had his AI assistant search for it.

Nasus quickly found the information.

"Master, the Banyan Tree Clan lives in the remote Myriad Trees Secret Realm. The Banyan Tree Clan was once a powerful race with a Universe Master and was on good terms with humans... Countless years ago, the Banyan Tree Clan's Universe Master fell, and the Banyan Tree Clan faced a life-or-death crisis, so they sought refuge with the human race and are currently a subordinate race of the human race."

Human subordinate races...

Thank goodness, it seems there shouldn't be any conflict involved.

Nasus continued, "The Banyan Tree Clan pledged allegiance to the Humans and received their protection, naturally making many promises. Among these promises was providing the Humans with a Banyan Tree Heart once every million years. This Banyan Tree Heart is a rare treasure born in the Myriad Trees Secret Realm, which can increase the chances of Banyan Tree Clan geniuses breaking through to the Immortal God realm by thirty percent. It is also of great use to other races, as the wondrous abilities it contains can instantly enhance the user's comprehension."

"Based on the known clues, this should be a reward from the Virtual Universe Company to an outstanding Primordial Secret Realm Master. This Banyan Heart is extremely precious, and many Universe Venerables want to obtain one. The Virtual Universe Company probably intends to give it to its master."

Nasus also searched for similar cases. Long ago, a Primal Mystic Lord also had such an opportunity. That Primal Mystic Lord's name was Koti!

Koti...?

Looking at the name, Lu Qingshan felt that the Banyan Heart didn't seem like an absolute necessity.

There's something about this that feels a bit ominous.

However, this was a task assigned by the company, and regardless of whether Lu Qingshan wanted it or not, he still had to retrieve the Banyan Heart.

"Alright, I'll go out for a walk after the Star-Eating Grass breaks through to Immortality."

The Star-Eating Grass is at the most critical moment of its evolution.

I reckon we'll break through soon.

Once the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass breaks through, it will reach the peak of the King-level realm. With the Star-Eating Grass protecting him, Lu Qingshan will have much more confidence.

Twenty-five years later, a fundamental law descended.

Nurturing it with hundreds of billions of Primordial Treasures and hundreds of drops of precious Life Spring, the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass finally broke through its limitations and reached the realm of immortality.

One breakthrough leads to the pinnacle of kingship... All the insights into the laws are directly bestowed upon one by the primordial universe at the moment of breakthrough.

"Star Eater, don't worry... I'll take you out to create a divine kingdom soon."

Lu Qingshan could sense the excitement of the Star-Eating Grass.

Plant life forms are not very intelligent, similar to human children, but their intelligence increases significantly after they achieve immortality.

"Master! No rush, you can come whenever you have time."

The Star-Eating Grass's voice sounds like a child's.

"It won't be long, you can leave soon!"

About three days later, a spaceship landed above Lu Qingshan's manor, and two transport personnel from the Virtual Universe Company flew down.

"Greetings, Your Highness Lu Qingshan."

Both of them were immortal gods, but they still bowed to Lu Qingshan before saying, "These are all items purchased by Your Highness."

The immortal god took out two silver boxes.

"Thank you."

……

After the two left, Lu Qingshan checked the two treasures. It wasn't Lu Qingshan who placed the order; he didn't have enough points, so the Qianwu Kingdom Lord placed the order for him.

Both of these are detectors.

One is a large detector, and the other is a small detector.

The BG6324 series large detectors have a detection range of one billion kilometers and are worth 60 billion credits.

The SL2212 series of small detectors has a detection range of 200 kilometers and is worth 40 billion credits.

The two detectors are worth 100 billion points, which is more than many Immortal Kings could afford with their entire fortune.

Lu Qingshan originally planned to exchange some points for Hunyuan units, but unexpectedly, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom directly helped him achieve this in one step.

These two detectors would be among the top-tier detectors even if placed on a battlefield outside the region.

With these two detectors, no matter where he hides, probably no one will be able to find him.

Lu Qingshan had Nasus activate the probe, and then left the Primal Secret Realm via the Divine Kingdom teleportation.

He left quietly, and no one knew he was gone.

Years later, in a remote and desolate star field, the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass emerged from the spatial interlayer and had already established its own divine kingdom.

“Master, I choose the largest piece of space fragment, which is about 100 million kilometers in diameter.”

The star-eating grass proudly showed off.

"Hehe, Star Eater, you're still the best. Your divine kingdom is bigger than theirs."

Lu Qingshan treated him like a child.

Whether it was due to damage to its roots in its early years or the Fountain of Life, the Thousand-vine Star-Eating Grass seemed to have some problems with its mind, lacking the life aura of the other two plants.

Although he was the strongest, he was like a child, and even the other two plant life forms were like his elders.

After the Star-Eating Grass created its divine kingdom, Lu Qingshan returned to the F9 spaceship 'Void Ship'.

"Xiao Jin, full speed ahead! Head to the Myriad Woods Secret Realm at top speed!"

"Yes, Master, please sit tight and hold on, we're off right now!"

The ship's smart screen did not display Nasus's image; the ship was now under the control of the Bona metallic lifeforms.

After the metallic life form broke through to the level of an immortal god, Lu Qingshan handed the spaceship over to it for fusion, and now it has become one with the spaceship.

The Void Ship's speed increased ten thousand times, and with a loud bang, it smashed a small asteroid to pieces, then continued to accelerate into the dark universe.

It accelerated to 10 times the speed of light, 20 times the speed of light... and continued until it reached 69 times the speed of light before it stopped.
