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

Chapter 197 The Human Race is indeed powerful
"He's a human genius!"

"Is the matter recorded in the Elders' Palace true or false? Did a human genius suppress all the geniuses of our Banyan Tree Clan?"

"Your name is Koti, right? I've seen that name in a book!"

"Who dares to challenge that human genius?"

"Didn't you see Rongzheng right next to him? Rongzheng is Elder Kuxin's disciple; it's not our turn to make a move!"

……

A chorus of voices reached my ears.

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, not minding at all.

Among the many subordinate races, human geniuses are often shrouded in mystery.

After all, for the sake of their own people, the education of these subordinate races is mainly based on respect for humans.

This is how their people have been able to survive for so long.

Lord Aoki smiled and said, "Your Highness Aoyama, please don't mind. Those little ones are all at an age where they are full of enthusiasm and are very curious about Your Highness."

"It's nothing... Everyone has a youthful time."

Lu Qingshan responded.

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Rong Zheng, who was standing to the side, was curious. Could this human genius be very old? But that doesn't make sense. He is a realm lord, and his lifespan is at most 1000 epochs.

“Your Highness, that is the Heart Refining Tower of our Rongmu Clan.”

Walking past the training ground, Aoki pointed to a tall building with more than ten floors and said.

"Thanks to the protection of the human race, our Banyan Tree Clan enjoys a very peaceful living environment. However, this has led to many young people whose character is not as good as that of our ancestors. The great elders spent a great deal of money to build this Heart-Refining Tower to temper the will of our Banyan Tree Clan's geniuses..."

“Your Highness Qingshan, there are rewards for reaching the tenth floor of the Refining Heart Tower. I previously obtained a decent immortal divine weapon.”

The young man Rongyang spoke up.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the young man; he was merely a Domain Lord.

"Lord Qingmu, could the tenth level of the Refining Heart Tower be equivalent to the will of an immortal god?"

Lu Qingshan asked curiously.

“Your Highness Qingshan, that is indeed the case! It is said that when the Refining Heart Tower was built, the elders drew inspiration from the human race’s Illusionary Sea, so it is quite similar. The tenth floor is precisely the will of someone who has just entered the Immortal Army Lord level.”

"Not bad, not bad, he's a talented person."

Lu Qingshan's mental energy swept over Rong Yang.

He was discovered to be a third-rate genius.

It seems that this person's previous performance was all an illusion; this young man seems to possess the heart of a child.
Then his mental energy swept over the genius named Rong Zheng, who was also a third-class genius!
The quality of geniuses among the Banyan Tree Clan is indescribable compared to humans; the difference is far too great!

From the few words spoken by Rongyang and Rongzheng, he could sense that both geniuses were highly valued in the Elder Palace, yet they only possessed the potential of immortal gods.

Perhaps in the endless future, they might become immortal marquises like Qingmu Hou, but the probability of that is probably less than one in a thousand.

"Your Highness, you may also give it a try. The great elder left behind many treasures in the Refining Heart Tower. You can obtain them as long as you pass through it. Perhaps Your Highness can obtain a treasure."

Rongzheng, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

Qingmu Hou glanced at Rong Zheng, his expression changing slightly.

Fearing that Lu Qingshan might misunderstand, he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "The Refining Heart Pavilion does indeed have countless treasures, many of which I myself covet. However, only those below the Immortal level are qualified to obtain the treasures of the Refining Heart Pavilion. Even if I were to reach a higher level, I would not be able to obtain the rewards. If Your Highness Qingshan is confident, you can try it and see how it differs from your human race's Illusionary Sea."

"I'm an outsider, isn't that inappropriate?"

Lu Qingshan looked at the eighteen-story building not far away and smiled.

"Hehe, Your Highness is joking. Our Rongmu Clan and the Human Clan are one family. There are no outsiders here. Once Your Highness comes to our Rongmu Clan, you are one of us. Prince Qingshan is also at the Realm Lord level, which fully meets the requirements. If you can break through more than 10 levels, you will naturally receive a treasure."

"Lord Aoki quickly said."

"Then I'll give it a try and see what the difference is between this Heart Refining Tower and the Illusionary Sea."

"Your Highness, please."

Lord Qingmu personally helped open the gate, and Lu Qingshan slowly walked in.

After he went inside.

Qingmu Hou glared at Rong Zheng and said, "Rong Zheng, have you forgotten what I said before?"

"Lord Qingmu, I meant well. Human geniuses are sure to have amazing willpower, at least no less than Rongyang. This Prince Qingshan would be very happy if he could obtain a treasure from the Refining Heart Pavilion, which would deepen the friendship between humans and us..."

Rongzheng defended himself.

Qingmu Hou merely snorted and said nothing more. Although Rong Zheng only mentioned it briefly, the final decision rested with Lu Qingshan himself.

He prayed silently in his heart.

"Hopefully, this human genius's willpower isn't too weak, and he should at least make it past the tenth level, otherwise he might end up making things worse."

It's a pity that the difficulty of the Heart Refining Tower cannot be adjusted; otherwise, Lord Qingmu would definitely have applied to lower the difficulty so that the human prince could at least pass the tenth floor and obtain a treasure.

Human geniuses are undoubtedly strong, but the test of their will and mind is far from simple. Even some immortal gods might fail at the tenth level.

The news that the human genius had entered the Refining Heart Tower was spread by someone, and soon a group of Banyan Tree Clan geniuses flocked to the outside of the Refining Heart Tower.

Even some immortal deities of the Banyan Tree Clan, and even the Banyan King and the Bitter Elder, were concerned about this matter.

"Rongzheng, I heard that you suggested that human genius enter the Refining Heart Tower. How many floors do you think he can reach?"

A genius who had a good relationship with Rongzheng asked curiously.

"Human geniuses must have strong willpower; they should at least be able to pass the tenth level."

Rongzheng said with a smile.

"Only the tenth level? Rong Xin, the strongest genius of our Rongmu clan, has already passed the fifteenth level!"

"Rongxin has a special destiny. Even the elders praised his amazing will. No one else can compare with him."

“That kid Rongyang has potential. He passed the tenth level when he was only at the Domain Lord level. I heard he was just one step away from passing the eleventh level. Even Lord Rongku has taken him as a disciple.”

"This guy is indeed a genius, but unfortunately he's only at the Domain Lord level right now."

Rongzheng glanced at Rongyang not far away. It was good that this guy was engrossed in the game; it saved him from having to compete with him for the Banyan Heart. The group chatted.

A pale green light flickered on the first floor of the Refining Heart Pavilion.

"We've passed the first level!"

Someone shouted.

"The speed doesn't seem very fast either, not even as fast as Rongyang's time."

"If you ask me, the will of human geniuses is just so-so. After all, even humans don't have a good way to cultivate willpower."

Upon hearing these comments, Aoki-hou, the team leader, turned pale.

Is this Prince Qingshan really not even as good as Rongyang?

the other side.

Deep within the Senate, an old man with white hair and decaying wood observed everything through a screen.

"Our Banyan Tree Clan is too complacent. These little guys are all arrogant and self-satisfied, and they even dare to slander the geniuses of the Primal Secret Realm of humans."

The old man smiled and said, "They don't understand the value of the geniuses in the original secret realm of the Human Virtual Universe Company. They are top human geniuses. No matter how weak their will is, they are at least at the level of immortal gods."

The white-haired old man shook his head: "You're underestimating him. Based on my observation, Lu Qingshan's willpower is definitely not low. Perhaps even that child Rongxin might not be able to surpass him in willpower."

"Rongxin?" Elder Kuxin was astonished. "Rongxin is the most talented member of our Rongmu clan with the strongest will. Moreover, if it weren't for that special encounter, he wouldn't have such a strong will. This Prince Qingshan possesses the will of an immortal god who has been granted the title of Marquis?"

"Rongxin has her own opportunities, but don't others have them too?"

Do you remember that human genius named Koti? Who could compare to his extraordinary experiences? To be called a top human genius, how could he not have had some special encounters? Just wait and see…”

Under the gaze of the two.

The Refining Heart Tower lit up with light, floor by floor.

Second floor.

the third floor.

……

In the blink of an eye, they had reached the tenth floor, and the speed of progressing through the levels was almost uniform, except for the first floor, where it was the slowest.

Outside the Refining Heart Tower, those who had just said that human geniuses were no match for Rongyang all shut their mouths.

They had all passed through the Heart Refining Tower and knew how difficult it was. If someone could quickly pass the tenth floor, it meant that the other person still had energy left and wouldn't stop so soon.

really.

Eleventh floor.

The twelfth floor.

The thirteenth floor.

……

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the seventeenth floor.

Inside the Refining Heart Pavilion, Lu Qingshan's expression became more solemn.

As expected, one should not underestimate the people of the world. The Refining Heart Tower of the Banyan Tree Clan is indeed extraordinary, not much different from the Illusionary Sea.

The Illusionary Sea has 21 floors, while the Refining Heart Tower only has 18 floors.

Of course, although the effects are comparable, their values ​​are worlds apart. The higher the level of this test of will, the more expensive it is. The value of a single 20-layer Illusionary Sea is probably already equivalent to the entire Heart Refining Tower, not to mention that the Illusionary Sea has 21 layers.

The foundation of the Banyan Tree Clan is far inferior to that of the Human Clan.

"17th floor, broken!"

Lu Qingshan flashed to the last floor of the Refining Heart Tower.

outside world.

When the 17th floor of the Refining Heart Tower lit up, countless geniuses of the Banyan Tree Clan showed expressions of shock.

Even Aoki-hou's eyes flashed with shock.

He had just recently passed the Heart Refining Tower, only managing to get through 16 floors. He never expected that this human prince would actually pass through 17 floors.

He himself was a Marquis-level Immortal, while the other party was merely a Realm Lord genius.

Humanity is truly powerful!!
This was the first time that Lord Qingmu had received guests from the human race, and he was deeply impressed by the terrifying power of the human race.

No wonder the elders inscribed respect for humanity on the sacred monument.

If even a human genius is like this, how terrifying are the human strongmen? If the Rongmu Clan were to betray the human race, they would probably be wiped out in an instant!

Aoki's gaze swept across the faces of the geniuses: Rongyang, Rongzheng... and that Prince Rongxin...

Those whom he addressed as "Your Highness" were all the elders' personal disciples.

"Hehe, Rongzheng may have actually done a good thing, letting these guys know that there are always people more capable than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding. Maybe they won't be so arrogant in the future!"

Lord Aoki smiled slightly.

"Rongyang, what are your thoughts?"

Rongyang took a breath: "Lord Qingmu, Rongyang will definitely cultivate diligently in the future and strive to break through to the Realm Lord level as soon as possible."

"With your talent, even an immortal god would have a chance, provided that you destroy all your games."

"I will definitely delete those games when I get back."

Rongyang guarantees the road.

"Rongzheng!"

Aoki looked at this proud genius again.

Rongzheng gave a wry smile: "Lord Qingmu, I shouldn't have had those petty thoughts before. The geniuses of the human race are truly incomparable to us."

Originally, Rong Zheng had been thinking of finding an opportunity to challenge this human genius and wash away the shame of their Rongmu clan's past genius, but after seeing Lu Qingshan reach the 18th floor of the Refining Heart Tower, he completely gave up on this idea.

Even if he had a one in ten thousand chance of defeating such a human genius, the opponent had already suppressed all the geniuses of their Rongmu clan in terms of will. The record created by the opponent is probably something that no genius of their Rongmu clan could break in hundreds of millions of years!
