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

Chapter 245 The New Discovery of the Time Compass
"Cao Kui, do you have a way to get your hands on Source Blood Crystal Sand?"

Lu Qingshan spoke again.

He didn't really trust what the other person had said before.

Cao Kui respectfully replied, "Master, what I said before contained an element of deception. It is possible to obtain Source Blood Crystal Sand, but it is extremely difficult... There are two ways to exchange for Source Blood Crystal Sand within the Yan God Clan. One is to make a huge contribution to the Yan God Clan and exchange it using the Yan God Clan's internal points. The other is to exchange it using contribution points from the Nine Domains Alliance, which requires 100 billion contribution points, but I simply do not have that many contribution points."

"100 billion contribution points..."

The Ghost King's clone checked his assets.

This time, the main body gifted him many treasures. If he sells most of them, raising 10 billion contribution points shouldn't be a problem.

“There’s another problem. I can’t return to the Yan God Clan right now… There were Yan God Clan members who were enslaved who returned to the clan, and then they were discovered!”

Cao Kui had a face full of guilt.

"Oh, do I have to return to the Flame God Clan to exchange for that Source Blood Crystal Sand?"

Lu Qingshan was not surprised. Yan Di controlled time and space, and soul enslavement had nowhere to hide in front of him.

"No, the hardest part is the contribution points. If you have enough contribution points, you can have the clan's strongest members send you to the designated location," Cao Kui explained.

"Contribution points are easy to obtain. Many people should know about the bounty you placed on me in the Nine Domains Alliance. Consider this a success; you've seized a treasure. Then, exchange it for contribution points from the Nine Domains Alliance, and use those to redeem the Source Blood Crystal Sand... However..."

The Ghost King's clone paused for a moment, then said, "Make sure that the news of your enslavement by me hasn't spread."

Lu Qingshan didn't want to end up with nothing.

A hundred billion contribution points is no small amount; even if he sold all his King-level divine weapons, he could only scrape together a fraction of that amount.

I'm afraid we'll need to sell a few more Blood Crystals.

Unlike the Blood of the Beast God, the Blood Crystal holds a similar status in the Hong Alliance as the Flesh and Blood Spirit Mushroom is in the Nine Domains Alliance. It is widely distributed in other territories, and it would not be a problem for Cao Kui to obtain a few Blood Crystals from a treasure.

"should not!"

Cao Kui thought about it carefully.

“Those three Marquis Immortals were all powerful members of small clans in my Nine Domains Alliance who had joined me. They had no connection with the other members of the Yan God Clan. Moreover, since Master acted swiftly and decisively at the time, they should not have had a chance to spread the news.”

Lu Qingshan nodded. The Nine Domains Alliance had the City of Glory to transmit messages, but it was far less convenient than the virtual universe, which required a significant amount of consciousness to enter. Under the circumstances of the battle, they indeed did not have this opportunity... Moreover, they had no idea that Cao Kui had been enslaved by them. Even if the news were to spread, it would only arouse suspicion.

Whether Cao Kui, as a genius of the Yan God Clan, has the means to fight back is unknown to anyone!
Moreover, enslaving, especially enslaving a genius of the Flame God Clan who is protected by armor, requires a Soul Master, and such situations are still rare.

Lu Qingshan took out a world ring, put ten Blood Crystals and several King-level Divine Weapons into it, and handed it to Cao Kui.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the strongest Fire God Source Crystal.

Then he said, "Take the treasures inside to the Nine Domains Alliance to exchange for contribution points. Collect 10 billion contribution points, then exchange them for the Source Blood Crystal Sand back for me. If you encounter any trouble, just use this Fire God Source Crystal..."

"Master, Cao Kui understands..."

Cao Kui looked at the Fire God Source Crystal that was flashing with red light. This was the strongest Fire God Source Crystal. Even a peak King-level expert would die if he were to be hit by it.

The master entrusted all these things to him, which clearly showed his great trust in him, and he must not let the master down.

"Master, how should I contact you after obtaining the Source Blood Crystal Sand?"

Cao Kui asked cautiously.

"Take this."

Lu Qingshan handed him a virtual universe anonymous account linker and said, "This is a virtual universe anonymous account. I have turned off the optical brain scanning function. You can use it normally. After you get the Source Blood Crystal Sand, contact me in the virtual universe. Remember... even if you detonate the Fire God Source Crystal, you cannot expose my existence."

“Master, Cao Kui understands.”

Cao Kui had a determined look on his face.

Then he put away the dazzling golden shield, boarded a spaceship and left. All his subordinates were dead, and he was unable to teleport to the divine kingdom. He could only rely on the spaceship to go to the nearest branch of the Nine Domains Alliance.

……

Looking in the direction where Cao Kui disappeared, a solemn expression flashed in the eyes of the Ghost King's clone.

This move still carries some risk.

Giving up some wealth is nothing.

If the Yan God Clan were to find out that he had enslaved their genius, it would likely provoke widespread wrath.

That Yan Emperor is an extremely petty person.

After becoming a Grandmaster of Chaos City, Lu Qingshan's authority was greatly enhanced, and he could now freely view some secrets that were previously inaccessible.

One of the reasons is why Emperor Yan betrayed the human race.

That Yan Emperor was extremely selfish. When the Primordial Star opened, he frequently attacked the Cosmic Venerables, who were also human, for the sake of treasures.

Even so, the human race did not necessarily punish him, but only made him return the treasures from others and bear the cost of resurrection.

Even so, Emperor Yan was still very dissatisfied.

He considers himself the master of the universe, and anyone who dares to compete with him for treasures should be killed.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other universe lords of the human race. The Ice Peak Lord, who was also from the same lineage of the Virtual Universe Company, angrily took action and fought a great battle with the Flame Emperor. The Flame Emperor suffered a loss in that battle and became even more dissatisfied. Then he led his clan to betray the human race.

Yan Di's attack power was average, but with the three supreme treasures on his body, even the universe master of the human race was helpless against him. The key point was that this guy was also a disciple of Zuo Shan Ke. The human race did not want to provoke Zuo Shan Ke, so they reluctantly accepted the situation.

Emperor Yan holds a lofty position in the Nine Domains Alliance, comparable to that of the Chaos City Lord of the Human Race. His strength is only one aspect; more importantly, he has the strongest person as his teacher. The Nine Domains Alliance is a power without a strongest person, and everyone dreams of inviting the strongest person to be their leader. Because of this relationship, Emperor Yan has a very special position among the universe lords of the Nine Domains Alliance.

As for why they led their tribe to live in the secret realm...

It wasn't that he couldn't obtain a piece of starry sky territory within the Nine Domains Alliance, but rather that the Yan Emperor was selfish and narrow-minded, and didn't want another universe master to emerge from the Yan God Clan to challenge his authority.

After all, the Yan God Clan only has one Universe Lord. No matter what, he is the disciple of Zuo Shan Ke. If the Yan God Clan produces a second Universe Lord, it is hard to guarantee that Zuo Shan Ke will not abandon him and cultivate another one instead!
"From this perspective, Emperor Yan's regard for the Yan God Clan may be quite ordinary. The geniuses of the Yan God Clan are merely tools in his hands. If they are too outstanding, they will be suppressed by him." Thinking this way, Lu Qingshan felt much more at ease. If Emperor Yan did not interfere, others would generally not discover that Cao Kui had become his soul slave.

After finishing this task, Lu Qingshan teleported back to the human territory through the divine kingdom, had Nasus's clone monitor the virtual universe information, and then found a place to begin cultivating.

The compass of time... The fountain of life...

The Ghost King's clone took out both Time Compasses, and held a drop of the Fountain of Life in its mouth.

Then turn on both time compasses.

When the corrosive power touched the skin of the Ghost King's clone, one could immediately feel that the skin had aged considerably, as if it had been dehydrated.

The fountain of life in his mouth began to work, and the life force from within began to restore his body.

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

When both time compasses were activated simultaneously, the effect was three times greater, which exceeded his original expectations.

Fortunately, the genes had been strengthened with Blood Crystal beforehand; otherwise, even a Ghost King clone might not have been able to withstand such erosion.

Is the Time Compass also a set of treasures?

The corrosive power emanating from the two Time Compasses was amplified to three times. Even a typical Marquis-level expert couldn't withstand it for more than a few seconds. What if there were eight, ten, or even 108 of them?

Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up slightly.

It seems I still need to find an opportunity to give away the Time Source Pearl I have.

After the power of erosion took effect, Lu Qingshan stopped thinking about it and began to cultivate the Body of Time according to the cultivation method he had inherited...

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

……

In a branch of the Nine Domains Alliance, far beyond the human territory.

Cao Kui sent a King of Immortality out of the manor.

As he watched the other person leave, his gaze darkened.

"This is the fifth King-level expert to contact me. The allure of that human blood crystal is truly extraordinary; even King-level experts find it hard to resist its temptation."

Two years ago, after arriving at this branch, Cao Kui contributed ten Blood Crystals to accumulate enough contribution points, but unexpectedly, the news got out.

Many powerful figures knew that he had obtained a treasure, including a precious item like the Blood Crystal, and so they all wanted to buy it from him... Cao Kui naturally said that he didn't have it, but it seemed that not many people believed him.

At this moment, he experienced the same treatment as Jin Yanming back then. Fortunately, he had an amazing background and was a genius of the Yan God Clan. Even though he was a powerful king, he only wanted to buy him and did not dare to make a move against him.

Of course, this is a branch of the Nine Domains Alliance; it's hard to say what would happen if it were in other places.

Any one of these powerful kings could end his life; even his armor couldn't stop them.

"Judging by the days, the Source Blood Crystal Sand I exchanged with the clan should arrive soon."

A hint of excitement flashed in Cao Kui's eyes.

He knew this was a treasure his master desperately needed.

If we successfully obtain this Source Blood Crystal Sand, the master will surely be delighted!

Cao Kui waited for a few more days, and finally a powerful member of the Yan God Clan arrived, coming directly to the outside of Cao Kui's manor.

Upon seeing this person, Cao Kui's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Greetings, King of Burning Heaven."

This Burning Heaven King is a very famous powerhouse of the Flame God Clan, possessing the strength of a peak-level King, and is also known for his fiery temper.

Previously, a powerful figure from the Nine Domains Alliance who had been granted the title of King had provoked him. He not only killed the opponent but also destroyed the opponent's family's planet.

"Cao Kui, this is the Source Blood Crystal Sand you exchanged. I'm a little curious. With your gene multiplier, you shouldn't need this. Why did you go to such great lengths to exchange for it?"

The Burning Heaven King spoke calmly.

Cao Kui was startled, but he remained outwardly calm and replied, "A friend asked me to make the purchase."

"Friend, you're a realm lord... do you really have a friend who can come up with 100 billion contribution points?"

"King of Burning Heaven, my friend is quite wealthy."

Cao Kui didn't look well.

"Heh..." A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Burning Heaven King: "Cao Kui, I'm not interested in your friends. Sell me ten Blood Crystals and I'll offer 50 billion contribution points!"

"Lord Burning Heaven King, other powerful kings have come to purchase it, but I do not have any Blood Crystals on me!"

"Cao Kui! Open all your storage space and let me see it, including your inner world!"

"Burning Heavenly King! Don't force me!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Heavenly King seemed to have heard the funniest joke: "I'm forcing you, what can you do about it?"

After saying this, Fen Tian's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, revealing his battle armor.

"The strongest Vulcan source crystal!"

He spoke in shock.
