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

Chapter 241 The Law Returns, Time Stops!
For Lu Qingshan, making a few friends ordinary members of the Virtual Universe Company was just a matter of a word.

This is the authority of a Grandmaster who has been granted the title of King.

For example, the Sky-Splitter King.

When assigning duties, one can easily take care of one's descendants.

These are unspoken rules among human groups.

There are only 100,000 Grandmaster-level humans in total, so how could they not have some privileges? After joining the Hongmeng, Lu Qingshan was already considered one of the high-ranking members of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Dwarf and Enchanting are already World Lords and Warriors, so their chances of breaking through to Immortality are much greater than others. Perhaps with my help, they can even break through to the Immortal God realm."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly and stopped thinking about it.

His consciousness entered the virtual universe.

The two advanced diagrams of the laws and secret techniques that were previously returned have been materialized.

Lu Qingshan carefully examined the two giant beast paintings.

The design of the scroll continued the style of his previous basic version, with the law patterns clearly visible. With Lu Qingshan's eyesight, he could clearly see all the contents of the two giant beast scrolls.

This advanced version only includes content on the 12th to 17th floors of the Sky Bridge.

It contains all the insights into the laws from the Immortal Military Lord to the peak of the Immortal Realm, and can be adjusted according to the changes in the secret runes to continue on multiple paths.

In other words, no matter which branch you choose—space or time—you can find a suitable solution from these two giant beast diagrams.

These two small scrolls, depending on the different ways they are activated, reveal content that is in no way inferior to an encyclopedia of laws.

"This thing is too precious. Even for me, it would be difficult to understand it all. I can only select some of the parts that I am familiar with and redesign it!"

Lu Qingshan has a solid foundation, but even with the fundamental laws of time, it's impossible to know all the routes below the King level... Perhaps only a cosmic Venerable who has mastered the complete laws of time has such a foundation.

For example, even with his limited understanding of the laws, Lu Qingshan still couldn't see through the routes that slowed down time.

If the laws of time are like this, the laws of space are even more obvious. Apart from some secret patterns of the laws under teleportation, he was completely confused about the others.

To understand those things, even he could only start from the very beginning, following a path he had never taken before, and gradually study and comprehend them.

Lu Qingshan revealed a hint of surprise.

He originally thought that the advanced version of the Law Runes was no longer of any use to him, but he didn't expect that this thing was so comprehensive and would be of great help to him even now.

Those routes he hadn't traveled before, guided by this rune diagram, could be mastered much more easily, allowing him to quickly fill in his weaknesses… Without a doubt, this scroll, like the star map that accompanied the Lightning Flash, was of immense help to him.”

Lu Qingshan continued along the accelerated path of time and looked at the road he hadn't traveled.

With the help of the Ghost King's clone's innate secret technique, he understood time acceleration the fastest, only slightly behind, but he could still barely execute it.

Now, the missing part is clearly visible in Lu Qingshan's eyes. He carefully comprehends it and soon gains considerable insights.

"With the assistance of this advanced version of the Law Rune Diagram, it probably won't be long before I can truly master time acceleration. But right now, improving my disciples' understanding of the laws is the most important thing!"

The stronger Lu Qingshan became, the greater the gap between him and his disciples became. Not to mention Wu Man, who had just been accepted as a disciple, even the three strongest disciples, Luo, Jin Jian, and Ling Yu, were completely unable to keep up with Lu Qingshan's pace, making it difficult for them to help him comprehend the major branch of the Time Law.

Lu Qingshan planned to improve his three disciples' understanding of the laws, at least to the level of understanding of the laws of a Marquis-level Immortal God, so that they would be of greater help to him.

"Let's choose the advanced version of the Time Law Rune for now."

Lu Qingshan took out a blank scroll and slowly outlined the laws and secret patterns in the virtual universe.

What he demonstrated was his deepest understanding of time stagnation, one of the most important sub-branches beneath the concept of time stopping. Mastering it to its fullest extent could lead to the pinnacle of immortality and the title of Marquis.

The key is that Lu Qingshan's two disciples who comprehended the fundamental laws of time, Lingyu and Luo, both followed this path.

Time passed by, and a year and a half had gone by in the blink of an eye!

Compared to the basic version, this advanced version is more than ten thousand times more difficult. Even though Lu Qingshan only chose the path he was most familiar with and completely outlined all the law runes, it still took him a year and a half.

However, for Lu Qingshan, it wasn't a loss!

Because this colossal beast image, which perfectly showcases the secret runes of the 'Time Freeze' law, was created entirely by him based on his understanding of the returned scroll, it can be used for the next step of the return process.

Moreover, this thing can definitely enhance one's disciples' understanding of the laws.

It's so clear.

Lu Qingshan was somewhat envious.

When he first comprehended the branches of the laws, even with the help of his disciple, he didn't receive such clear guidance.

If he had had this secret pattern diagram to guide him back then, his progress would probably have been even faster.

After carefully checking several times to make sure nothing was missed, Lu Qingshan opened the virtual universe and sent a copy to Ling Yu and Luo Ge.

As for the return of this painting, he chose Lingyu.

Because Ling Yu has been pursuing the path of the Beast God recently, his progress in the Law of Time has slowed down considerably, and it shouldn't be easy for him to break through. It would be best to leave the remaining opportunity for Fan Xianluo's comprehension of the Law.

[You bestowed upon your disciple Lingyu, an advanced version of the Time Law Runes, and received a thousandfold return; you have obtained the peak version of the Time Law Runes.]

The cheat code notification sound appeared again.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

His year and a half of hard work paid off; he got what he wanted most. Hopefully, Luo will bring him some surprises too.

Lu Qingshan opened the peak version of the scroll to examine it. The scroll's secret patterns were even more complex and intricate, divided into three routes. No matter which route was chosen, one could continue to ascend.

The three paths are time acceleration, time deceleration, and time stopping. Finally, the three branches converge at one point, which is to completely master the fundamental laws of time!

……

At this moment, in an elegant courtyard on the Virtual Universe Headquarters Continent, which is one of the offices of the Virtual Universe Company's freight headquarters, Luo sat in his office.

I'm checking my email.

He just received a notification that someone marked as 'important' sent him an email, so he opened his email immediately.

"It's an email from Grandmaster Qingshan, containing a diagram of a colossal beast with laws and secret runes?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo's eyes.

During that class a year ago, he acquired two giant beast scrolls. He couldn't understand the one about space, but he had already learned about the part about time in class.

He was deeply moved at that moment.

If he had been a World Lord at that time, and had obtained such a painting, he probably would have gained the recognition of the Time Origin Law.

The laws and secret patterns on that scroll were too perfect. The only pity was that the content was too basic. For him, it could only consolidate the basics and could not help him improve.

That's not surprising. It's basic instruction, and it's already a pleasant surprise if it can help you.

"This painting."

Luo opened the scroll and looked at the familiar giant beast picture. He originally thought that His Highness Lu Qingshan had made a mistake, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was completely wrong.

"Is this... time frozen?"

A look of shock appeared in Luo's eyes.

"This colossal painting perfectly captures the process of time freezing... It's terrifying, it's amazing!"

Luo himself was studying the freezing of time, and seeing this painting now was like a fish about to die of thirst being put into water.

"So that's it..."

“My path was not wrong, but I took many detours along the way.”

"I understand, I understand!"

……

A few days later, Luo, who was engrossed in studying the giant beast painting, suddenly burst into laughter, a look of surprise on his face.

"Time freezes!"

The space-time before my eyes rippled, and I could clearly feel that time had changed.

Freezing time was no longer difficult for him; with practice, he could truly master the technique.

hum! !

A fundamental law descended directly into the courtyard.

A moment later, tiny marks of time slowly condensed between Luo's brows.

"As long as I can re-form my immortal divine body, I will gain... immortality!"

Luo never imagined that in less than a thousand years since breaking through to the Immortal God realm, he would have already reached the threshold of obtaining immortality and become a powerful Marquis-level Immortal God.

"Oh no! I've been so engrossed these past few days that I forgot to thank Master Qingshan."

Luo's expression changed slightly.

Without hesitation, he quickly wrote a thank-you email and sent it to Lu Qingshan.

Upon seeing that the email had been successfully received, Luo Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, hoping that Grandmaster Qingshan wouldn't mind his rudeness.

Luo secretly reminded himself that such a situation must never happen again. The Green Mountain Grandmaster gave him such an important scroll of law runes, helping him become a Marquis Immortal. How could he not express his gratitude to the Green Mountain Grandmaster immediately!
After waiting a while, Luo received a reply to the email. She opened it nervously, and then the unease on her face disappeared.

"Grandmaster Qingshan truly lives up to his reputation as a learned and powerful master. He wouldn't care about such a trivial matter at all. It's incredibly fortunate that Jieming and the others can become his disciples."

Luo couldn't help but think of his mysterious, ascetic teacher, who was now a Marquis-level expert. He wondered if Luo had caught up with his teacher's level...

Luo was extremely grateful to Lu Qingshan; a single word from Grandmaster Qingshan was enough to make him risk his life. But the most important person in Luo's heart was still that mysterious ascetic teacher, because the other party had saved his life. If it weren't for that precious enlightenment token, he would probably still be waiting to die, and he would never have had the opportunity to become a Marquis-level immortal god!
……

In the primordial universe, in the chaotic city, nestled amidst green mountains.

The moment Luo broke through, Lu Qingshan knew it and immediately chose to return to the law.

[Your disciple Luo has comprehended Time Freeze and received a thousandfold return; your experience with the Law of Time has greatly increased.]

For an instant.

Countless insights and experiences about the fundamental laws of time appeared out of nowhere, like rivers flowing into the sea, directly imprinted on the depths of Lu Qingshan's soul.

"Time freezes, time is frozen, time is imprisoned... Boom..."

The understanding of the law seems to have broken through a certain limit.

"stop!"

Lu Qingshan spoke softly.

In the courtyard of Qingshan Residence, the slowly falling leaves, the birds flying in the air, and even the tiny particles in space were all frozen in mid-air... Under the control of the power of the law of time, the birds created by Lu Qingshan's world power could not even move their eyes.

Time stops!

Become!

Lu Qingshan slowly stood up, a joyful expression on his face... Having comprehended the concept of time stopping, his understanding of the laws had reached the true peak of the King level.
