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

Chapter 220 Top Secret, Return to Qianwu City

Virtual Universe, Thunder Mountain.

The illusory shadow flashed by and landed on the highest manor in Thunder Mountain.

"City Lord, big event!"

The voice just fell.

A tall figure dressed in a golden robe, resembling an Earthling, with eyes as calm as the endless starry sky, slowly emerged.

"What's the matter?"

The man's voice was deep.

"I never expected to meet the City Lord in person today." The man, draped in a black robe as if shrouded in shadow, spoke: "It is still the matter of Lu Qingshan, the Lord of the Primordial Secret Realm."

"Oh? Tell me about it..."

The Lord of Chaos City became more interested.

He knew the Shadow Monarch's character. As the head of the Hongmeng intelligence agency, anything he called important was obviously worth listening to.

"Lu Qingshan, the genius master of the Primordial Secret Realm, just went to the Yanji Continent as the Gray-Clad Marquis. He then killed a high-ranking king from the demon race, fulfilling his military merit quota, and has now left the extraterritorial battlefield!"

The Shadow Lord spoke slowly.

As he spoke, he observed the expression of the Chaos City Lord and indeed saw a rare change.

"A World Lord-level being killed by a high-ranking King..." The Chaos City Lord looked at the Shadow Monarch, knowing that his most loyal subordinate would not joke around.

"Lord of the city, please look here. This is a detailed record of the military merit system."

The Shadow Monarch raised his hand.

Lu Qingshan and Xinghuanwang appeared instantly, and then the process of Lu Qingshan killing Houjinwang was fully displayed.

Although it was only through video, as the greatest being of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City had an astonishing eye, and naturally, Lu Qingshan's method of killing could not be hidden from his sight.

"Firmmore Venom... that armor, which seems to be a treasure, appears to be even stronger than last time. Ordinary treasure sword... body vibration..."

If Lu Qingshan were here, he would definitely be shocked, because almost everything about him could be seen through.

"Perhaps there's also a powerful treasure for soul defense, or maybe that armor..."

After watching the entire killing process, the Chaos City Lord nodded, an expression of appreciation in his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. Although they relied on external objects, their own strength and understanding of the laws couldn't be lacking... That movement technique that instantly reached the alien race's side clearly shows a very deep grasp of the fundamental laws of space!"

The Lord of Chaos City remembered that Lu Qingshan had always focused on the laws of time.

And this time, they made their move.

He didn't even use the law of time; he simply relied on external objects and spatial laws to kill a king of an alien race.

"What a pity he's a disciple of the Qianwu!"

The Lord of Chaos sighed.

If Lu Qingshan was still considered to have potential when he first arrived in Chaos City, he now truly possesses the foundation to become a powerful figure.

The Lord of Chaos City also developed a fondness for talent.

After all, his youngest disciple, Kedi, only managed to kill a Marquis when he was at the Realm Lord stage. Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, was clearly more outstanding. He could kill a high-ranking King when he was at the Realm Lord stage. Once he became an Immortal, he would definitely become an invincible King. In the future, when he broke through to the Venerable stage, he would also be a very powerful existence among the Venerables.

Most importantly, Lu Qingshan cultivates both space and time. His mastery of the laws of space is so profound, how much could his mastery of the laws of time be?
This is a potential candidate for the Lord of the Universe.

But the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom...

They were from the same era as him, who made great contributions to the expansion of human territory. They had studied together under the same teacher, the Primordial Ancestor, so they could be considered his fellow disciples.

The city lord of Chaos City would never utter a word about taking away a disciple from his own fellow disciple.

"City Lord, the Hong Alliance is in an uproar over this matter. They don't believe Lu Qingshan has such ability and want to view the video recorded by the military merit system. Fortunately, I hid the video in advance, and only the Palace Master can view it."

The Shadow Lord spoke with a smile.

"Not surprisingly."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head.

"Humans are inherently weak, unlike those unique special life forms. A World Lord killing a King-level Immortal, or even a high-level King... Even before I saw the video, I had my doubts. The video should not be made public, and all of Lu Qingshan's information should be set to top secret. No one is allowed to view it except for Giant Axe and the several Universe Lords of my Virtual Universe Company."

"Won't the other temple masters have objections?"

The Shadow Monarch hesitated.

"Just say it was my arrangement."

The Lord of Chaos City spoke calmly.

"understand!"

……

After the Shadow Monarch left, the Chaos City Lord reviewed the video again and realized that he had overlooked some parts.

It's almost impossible for a Realm Lord to perfectly drive a powerful treasure using only some amplitude effects.

How did Lu Qingshan manage to do that?
"Blood Crystal?"

Among the countless messages about Lu Qingshan, the Chaos City Lord saw one: the Dragon Whale King had once applied to give his junior brother Lu Qingshan one hundred Blood Crystals.

Could it be...

The Lord of Chaos City observed carefully, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. If Lu Qingshan truly became a Black Warrior, it would signify his immense potential, greatly increasing his chances of becoming a Lord of the Universe.

Although there are very few geniuses with the potential to become the ruler of the human universe, there are some, such as several top universe overlords. They are either following the path of the laws of spacetime or the path of the beast god, and they are all stuck at the most crucial final step.

Further down the line, there are several masters from the Cosmic School. Although their chances are even slimmer, their talent for time and space might give them a slight possibility after endless years.

But Lu Qingshan is completely different from these people. His progress is too fast... If he can improve his understanding of the laws of the universe to the level of a Black Warrior, then his chances of becoming the Lord of the Universe are much greater than those of others.

"Qianwu has taken on a fine disciple!" The Chaos City Lord rarely showed a hint of regret, and then sent an email to Qianwu.

……

At this moment, in the Hongmeng plane, in a vast hall.

On each of the 108 seats sits an ancient and powerful figure, currently engaged in a heated debate!

"Impossible, I don't believe it... I absolutely do not believe that a Realm Lord could kill a King-level expert."

This is a powerful alien from the Hongmeng Alliance.

As a human alliance, the Hongmeng has many powerful individuals who are friendly with humans or are even vassal races of humans, and they have all joined the Hongmeng as members.

Humans have 100,000 kings, while the Hong Alliance has 3 million kings, most of whom are from other races.

Of course, within the Hong Alliance, the human race is absolutely in power, because the human race has the most top-tier experts! And the strongest among them!

"I don't believe it either. Putting aside the great Palace Masters, how many of our powerful Seven Star Overlords in the Hong Alliance can kill a high-level King at the Realm Lord stage? It's too absurd. If it were just a low-level King, I wouldn't question it like this."

"Although the military merit system is error-free, there are loopholes. Lu Qingshan is a disciple of Qianwu. Perhaps the Qianwu king can send a powerful soul servant to secretly protect his disciple. The Qianwu king's servant killed a foreign king, but because he is not managed by the military merit system, the system may consider him as Lu Qingshan's servant who killed the enemy, and thus the military merit is attributed to him."

"That's possible..."

"Or perhaps the most powerful Fire God Source Crystal, a treasure bestowed upon his disciple by the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, which can protect him and be used to blast enemies to death!"

Another expert has made a guess.

"The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom possesses a supreme treasure???"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall fell silent, as if they had deliberately ignored the speculation.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom possesses a supreme treasure? This is even more absurd than Realm Lord Lu Qingshan killing a King!

"Okay, be quiet."

A tall human wearing a golden cross helmet spoke up: "I have applied to view the video of the military merit system, but I have not been granted permission. Lu Qingshan's permission has been set to the highest level... You know what this means."

"what!"

"Even adults can't see this?"

"How can this be."

The tall man in the golden helmet nodded: "Now, does anyone still have any doubts?"

The hall was silent; everyone was completely still.

They all understood what the highest authority meant: it meant that at least a Hongmeng Palace Master level figure was involved... As for why, it was clearly not for a mere Hongmeng quota.

“I agree. Since the rules of the Hongmeng state that anyone who kills a King can join, no matter the method, it is not against the rules.”

"I agree."

"Seconded!"

"Shall we go and invite this prince of the Primal Realm now? It seems he doesn't have his own title yet?"

……

In a desolate star field of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Lu Qingshan himself has just appeared.

A figure appeared before him as if in a flash.

A fair face, a long tail...

"Shang Jie...you've broken through to the Realm Lord level, not bad, not bad."

Thanks to the resources and unique skills bestowed upon him by his master, Shang Jie would have had absolutely no chance.

Shang Jie was Lu Qingshan's first soul servant. When he was with the Ghost King's clone, he was only at the eighth level of the universe.

Over the years, he has traveled all over the country with the Ghost King's clone, gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience.

The resources that the Ghost King's clone casually revealed were enough to save him countless years of arduous cultivation.

Having been replaced by the immortal god Bell, Shang Jie, the lizardman, endured hardship and miraculously entered the realm of the fundamental laws. With the support of the Ghost King's avatar, he broke through to the realm lord level.

"Take what's inside this world ring... and give it to my clone."

Lu Qingshan tossed a world ring over.

Shang Jie quickly caught it and put it directly into his inner world.

Inside the World Ring were some resources that Lu Qingshan had given to the Ghost King's clone. After all, the cashback he had received over the years could only be obtained by the main body, and the Ghost King's clone had been hiding away to cultivate in seclusion. He had used the remaining resources to buy armor and give it to Luo, so he was now penniless.

Besides the spoils obtained from the Roaring Gold King, the World Ring mainly contains some Spring of Life, the auxiliary treasures left over from previous cultivation, and most importantly, the Time Compass!

Lu Qingshan's main body could no longer cultivate the Time Body, but the Ghost King's clone could.

The Ghost King's clone has received the inheritance, making it more adaptable to secret techniques. Moreover, the Ghost King's clone has a higher gene count, making it far more resilient than the original body!

Lu Qingshan guessed that perhaps the Ghost King's clone could bring him some surprises.

Once his main body returns from the battlefield outside the realm, he will inevitably go to Chaos City to cultivate in seclusion. That is the safest place for humans, allowing the Ghost King's clone to venture out on adventures once again.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan handed over the Beast God Inheritance Token of Lei Shi to Shang Jie.

Only after giving a careful reminder was Shang Jie allowed to leave.

In such a remote place as the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the Realm Lord is already a powerful figure, so there is no need to worry about safety.

After doing all this, Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of the Qianwu Secret Realm...

Having returned from the battlefield outside the region, it's time to visit our teacher.
