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

Chapter 214 Not yet called teacher, bestowed

The name Grey-Clad Marquis became famous about a hundred years ago.

His main achievement was killing three Mechanical Race Immortals at the Shattered Star Belt, including one High-Ranking Immortal.

And this was in a situation where it was roughly one against five.

Rumors circulated that this gray-robed marquis was at least at the peak of the marquisate level, and might even possess the strength of a beginner king.

Of course, this is just a rumor; apart from those few immortals of the Machine Race, no one else has ever experienced it.

With a prison of lightning overhead and three hundred Star-Eating Vine Grasses before them, the three Immortal Lords of the Zerg faction all changed their expressions drastically.

The Soul Devouring Marquis hurriedly released two Marquis-level servants to block him. His soul attack, which he was famous for, had no effect on the Star-Eating Grass at the peak of the Marquis level.

"Grey-robed Marquis, we can talk."

As the Starlight Clan Immortal dodged the Star-Eating Grass's entanglement, he quickly spoke up.

As a type of energy life form, he is more agile than the other two when facing the Star-Eating Grass.

While the Soul Devourer could still hold off the attack with the help of his servants, the rock giant of the Kawu tribe was already tightly entangled by several vines, and the Star-Eating Grass vines were constantly contracting and devouring his divine body.

"What's there to talk about with you alien races?"

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly.

"We can offer up all our assets and guarantee that we will not harm your human geniuses. Please spare us this time!"

"The Starlight Clan Immortal said."

"Feel sorry."

Lu Qingshan continued to shake his head.

Seeing this, the three Zerg Immortals no longer harbored any illusions.

Thick flames first erupted from the Kawu rock giant's body, and it began to burn its divine form.

Being trapped by the Star-Eating Grass, if he didn't burn his divine body to break free, it would be a slow suicide for him.

The Soul Devourer of the Nightmare Clan also burned his divine body, but he was not controlled by the Star-Eating Grass. Instead, he unleashed his soul attack on Lu Qingshan.

However, after that one strike!
It was as if a stone had sunk into the sea.

The gray-robed marquis opposite him didn't even need to burn his divine body to block his soul attack, which was a thousand times stronger.

How is this played?
The Soul Devourer's expression changed drastically, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes. This gray-robed marquis was indeed as rumored, even more powerful than the rumors suggested!
"The Nightmare Clan truly lives up to their reputation as masters of the soul. I'm afraid even some high-ranking marquises would suffer for a long time after taking a single soul attack from you. However!"

Lu Qingshan sneered.

The Banyan Wood Divine Blade appeared in his hand.

The next moment, his divine body appeared beside the Devouring Spirit Marquis as if by teleportation; this was a void traversal within the laws of space.

"The Milky Way is beginning to appear!"

The banyan wood divine knife is incredibly fast.

"Block!"

The Soul Devourer roared, unleashing his divine power to its limit. With a deafening boom, his divine body shattered, and when it reformed, his face was deathly pale.

"One move annihilated 10% of my divine body!!!"

The Soul Devourer found it hard to believe.

"Grey-Clad Marquis, you're not just a marquis, you're a king! You must be a king!!"

he roared.

However, Lu Qingshan did not give him another chance, and with several consecutive strikes, he suppressed his divine body to below seventy percent.
The Soul Devourer let out a roar of resentment.

Then, with a loud bang, it chose to self-destruct.

As a master of the soul, he knew what the consequences would be if he were killed and put into a state of slumber.

Even if this human genius doesn't enslave him, he will be sold to others to be enslaved, and that would be true eternal damnation.

At the same time that Soul Devourer Lord self-destructed, both of his soul servants died together.

One of the two servants was even a human who had been granted the title of Immortal Marquis!
Humans can enslave other races, and other races can certainly enslave humans.

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and put the corpse of the human who had been granted the title of Marquis into his world ring.

Having dealt with the strongest Devouring Spirit Marquis, the other two were much easier. Lu Qingshan used the Thousand Star Waves technique to kill the rock giant of the Kawu Clan. With its heavy body and the help of the Star-Eating Grass, the giant had no chance to escape Lu Qingshan's attack.

As for the Star Clan Immortals, they struggled the longest, but to no avail, and ultimately chose to self-destruct like the Devouring Spirit Marquis.

A hundred years ago, Lu Qingshan could easily kill a Marquis-level Immortal. A hundred years have passed, and he has cultivated the Time Body to the third level of perfection, with a 32-fold amplitude... Killing a Marquis-level beginner again would be too easy.

However, Lu Qingshan was also aware of the unspoken rules of the extraterritorial battlefield, so he would not take action frequently to avoid attracting the attention of experts from the enemy camp.

After the three died, Lu Qingshan took out the Time Compass and absorbed the strange energy from the death of the Immortal Marquis.

Before long, the Time Compass was filled again.

He can begin cultivating the fourth level of the Time Body once he purchases more treasures to aid his cultivation.

After collecting the three people's belongings, Lu Qingshan turned and left the scene.

He had just left.

The previously hidden battlefield was now revealed, and many powerful figures were aware of this.

In particular, before his death, the Soul Devourer Marquis spread the news that the murderer who killed the three of them was the Gray-Clad Marquis.

This caused a commotion throughout the entire Misty Island.

When the Grey-Clad Marquis arrived at Misty Island, he killed three powerful marquises with his first move, which terrified many alien races and boosted the morale of the human alliance on Misty Island.

……

Deep in the mountains of Misty Island, in a secluded canyon. "The Soul Devourer Marquis is dead? The Giant Rock Marquis and the Starlight Marquis are dead too?"

Jin Jian, dressed in a long white robe, obtained this information from the military merit system. Before coming to Misty Island, he had already memorized the information of the island's powerful figures.

He was filled with excitement.

"The Yanji Continent truly lives up to its reputation as a paradise for the strong. On just the outer islands, three Marquis-level Immortals perished in a single day. This is the place where a strong person like me should be..."

"And that gray-robed marquis!"

Jin Jian looked at the golden sword placed to the side, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

"Gray-Clad Marquis, Gray-Clad Marquis... I'll let you be famous for a while, but it won't be long before I can earn the title of White-Clad Marquis!"

At that very moment, the intelligent life system notified him that he had received an email.

Jin Jian opened it and took a look.

"I know you're on Misty Island, come to these coordinates..."

Sender.

Lu Qingshan!
Jin Jian's expression changed slightly. How did Teacher Lu know he was on Misty Island?
Even King Anju hadn't told him about his presence here. After all, King Anju had always advised him to be careful in the outer battlefields and just stay in the lower-level areas. If he knew that he had come to the Yanji Continent, he would probably scold him.

Jin Jian couldn't stand the other person's nagging, so he didn't tell him the news.

"But what's the situation now?"

"The military merit system betrayed me?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Jin Jian's mind. After struggling for a while, he finally replied with a single word: "Okay."

He tidied his makeup a little, then slung his golden sword over his shoulder and headed towards the location indicated in the email.

A few days later, upon arriving at the designated location, he walked down the passage to the bottom of the earth, where he saw Lu Qingshan in a green robe.

"T-Teacher...how did you know I was here?"

Jin Jian was shocked.

Fortunately, this wasn't a primitive secret realm, and there were only two people here, so he was able to call him "teacher."

"Is that strange? Not only do I know you're here, but many other people do too. Besides, if it weren't for me, you would already be dead."

Lu Qingshan snorted.

He seemed somewhat displeased with this impolite disciple.

"How could that be... I've always hidden myself very well, who would know me? Why would you say I'm a dead man?"

Jin Jian frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning behind it.

Lu Qingshan offered no explanation.

With a flick of his wrist, the footage Nasus had recorded earlier appeared in front of the golden sword.

Jin Jian examined the footage carefully, and after a long while, he showed an embarrassed expression.

"Faced with these three marquises attacking you, do you think you can survive? No, there are five. That Soul Devouring Marquis also has two servants who are marquises."

Lu Qingshan looked at him with a smile.

"Teacher, it's you...you're the Grey-Clad Marquis?"

Jin Jian found it hard to believe.

"You're not entirely stupid... If I hadn't known this information and killed them beforehand, would you still be standing here?"

Lu Qingshan glanced at him.

"Teacher...it was my carelessness." Jin Jian bowed, his attitude becoming much more sincere.

He knew that his teacher had saved his life this time.

Although he believed he had the ability to escape from the hands of a mere low-level Marquis, this time there were five Marquises, including the renowned Soul Devourer on Misty Island. As his name suggests, he was a master of souls.

His soul defenses are quite weak; if you encounter them, things will probably go badly!
"It's good to know."

Lu Qingshan snorted and said indifferently, "From now on, you can stay by my side. My detector is a hundred times more advanced than yours and will not be detected. You can choose your target here and then go out to train."

"The disciple understands."

After this incident, Jin Jian became much more obedient.

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded: "You've been in the extraterritorial battlefield for hundreds of years now. How's your understanding of the laws? Have you been slacking off?"

At this point, Jin Jian raised his head again: "Teacher, I have made great progress. Even now, I have a chance to pass the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge."

"So you can't even get past level 14, what are you pretending for!" Lu Qingshan showed no mercy: "Even the lowest level of the Primordial Secret Realm Master has the level of the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge in terms of law comprehension. You can't even get past level 14 now, what face do you have to be proud of? Have you already prepared yourself to be eliminated and sent to the Primordial Secret Realm thousands of years from now?"

"Impossible!" Jin Jian shook his head hurriedly. He had just fought his way up from the Primordial Secret Realm, how could he possibly be thinking of falling down?

"Since you have confidence, I'll lend you a hand. Have you redeemed the secret technique I created, 'Green Mountain - Space Advanced Version'?"

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Jin Jian shook his head.

Over the years, he has been fighting on the battlefields beyond the realm, and there has hardly been a moment when he is completely safe, so naturally he would not think about exchanging for any secret techniques.

"Alright, I'll give you this secret technique first. Study it carefully and strive to reach the level of understanding of the laws of the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge as soon as possible..."

Lu Qingshan sent the secret method to his email.

Go on.

"You are absolutely safe here with me. Even a king would not be able to detect you. If you have any questions about this secret technique, you can ask me anytime. I will always be by your side all these years."

Having finally caught a disciple on the battlefield outside the domain, and a second-rate genius at that, how could Lu Qingshan let this opportunity slip by?!
