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

Chapter 284 The True King is no longer calm!
In the primordial universe, within a vast manor.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at his second disciple, who was crying and sniffling, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

“Teacher, I misunderstood you. I thought you had completely abandoned me. I never expected... I never expected that you would win such a precious opportunity for me.”

“Dragon Whale, you’ve got it wrong… Your ability to obtain the Beast God’s Inheritance Token has little to do with me.”

After the Dragon Whale King and the other rulers of the Qianwu Kingdom finished their flattering and grateful words, they finally spoke.

"What? Teacher, you must be saying this on purpose, right?" The Dragon Whale King couldn't believe that anyone other than his teacher could secure such a valuable resource for him.

"You know my situation perfectly well. I'm drowning in debt. Where would I get the extra resources to exchange for this precious Beast God Inheritance Token for you? Even if I did, I wouldn't dare. If my creditors found out about this, they'd eat me alive!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Whale King...

Suddenly it makes a lot of sense.

Something is definitely not right about this. The teacher simply doesn't have the resources or the ability to make that decision.

But if it wasn't the teacher who helped him get it, then what was the reason?
Could it be that his clan saw his exceptional talent and believed he had a great chance to break through to the level of a Universe Venerable, which is why they made an exception and gave him this opportunity?

Think of this.

Even the Dragon Whale King himself almost laughed.

Doesn't he realize his own talent?
Whether it's the True King, the Heavenly Feather King, or even the younger generation like the Pupil King and the Jade King, their talents are far superior to his.

His current strength is entirely due to the long period of accumulation he has made.

Given his situation, his chances of obtaining the Beast God's Inheritance Token are extremely slim. You should know that the last person among the human race to obtain the Beast God's Inheritance Token was the Seven Sword King.

That guy's talent is something even I envy...

That's the template for top geniuses.

"Teacher... what... what exactly is going on? You must know the reason, right?"

The Dragon Whale King asked with a hint of trepidation.

Suddenly struck by a windfall, the Dragon Whale King was overjoyed, but also a little apprehensive, because he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded and said, "You don't need to worry. It's not that your clan betrayed you. You have this opportunity entirely because of your junior brother, Lu Qingshan."

"Junior Brother Qingshan..." Dragon Whale King was surprised. How could this have anything to do with his junior brother?

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom continued, "Your junior brother killed a powerful demon on his recent trip and obtained this inheritance token. He contributed it to the clan, exchanging it for only a small portion of the resources, discarding the majority. However, he had only one condition: that you could use this inheritance token. The clan agreed to this request!"

"This...this..." The Dragon Whale King hadn't expected the truth to be like this. He said anxiously, "Doesn't Junior Brother Qingshan know the importance of this inheritance token?"

“He knows, how could I not tell him these things?” The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom glanced at him and said, “Qingshan said that he cultivates in both time and space, so he doesn’t need the inheritance token. Moreover, seeing that you haven’t made any progress over the years, and that you’ve lost a precious treasure and incurred huge debts, he felt that you had suffered too much, so he gave you this opportunity.”

"No matter how unfortunate my life is, I can't take my junior brother's resources. How old is he?" The Dragon Whale King felt that this inheritance token was too heavy.

"It's good that you know... Your junior brother paid about two thousand treasure points for this inheritance token... If you haven't broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, then forget about it. But if you have, remember to return it to your junior brother. He's not having an easy time either."

The shaman gave instructions.

"Master, I understand. I will go and thank my junior brother right away."

……

The news that the Dragon Whale King had obtained the Beast God's Inheritance Token quickly spread throughout the initial universe.

After all, the purple-clad guards from the city lord's mansion came to the door in person.

Many people witnessed this scene.

This made the grandmasters who were cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City and following the path of the Beast God extremely envious.

Many people sent congratulatory emails.

Even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom had to send emails to each of his creditors to explain the situation.

Explain the reason for the matter...

Those creditors are all cosmic venerables; they can easily find out the inside story by asking around, so as not to think that he, the sorcerer, has money but refuses to pay.

In the beginning of the universe, in a huge courtyard.

A group of True King's disciples were talking.

Suddenly, a giant of the ape-man race sitting at the head of the table showed a shocked expression.

"how is this possible?"

"The Dragon Whale King has obtained the Beast God's Inheritance Token and is about to head to the Ancestral God Sect? Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

The ape-men looked at the email in disbelief and quickly verified it with others, soon confirming the news.

"Why is this happening? In terms of background, I'm no worse than the Dragon Whale King. In terms of strength, I was already a step ahead of him before, and now it goes without saying. Why is it that he's the one who obtained the inheritance token instead of me?"

King Zhenyan stood up. His heart, which had been calmed by years of seclusion in Chaos City, was stirred up again.

Because he knew how important this opportunity was; for him, it was a chance to rise to the top in one step!

"Let's forget about the previous Seven Sword Kings. They were top geniuses of the human race, disciples of the great universe lord, and had the hope of breaking through to the Universe Venerable level. I've been cultivating for too long and can't compare... But Dragon Whale King, I'm not convinced."

"teacher!"

The disciples stopped discussing as they looked at the somewhat agitated King Zhenyan.

"You all stand down."

King Zhenyan looked at this group of disciples.

"is teacher."

After everyone had left, True King Yan entered the virtual universe and arrived at a special plane. Outside a grand hall, True King Yan pushed open the door and walked straight in.

Inside the main hall, an elderly ape-man with black hair all over his body smiled as he watched the arrival of King Zhenyan.

"Anxious?"

His voice carried a hint of mockery.

"Teacher, I want to ask you, did the Dragon Whale King really obtain the Beast God's Inheritance Token?"

"The True King asked."

His teacher was a great leader of the ape-man race, an extremely powerful being among the cosmic beings.

"You already have the answer in your heart, why ask me again?" the black ape-man chuckled.

"Teacher, why? I am clearly more suitable than the Dragon Whale King. I am only one step away from the Path of the Beast God. The Dragon Whale King has not yet perfected the third level of the 'Water and Myriad Phenomena'. Moreover, my potential should be greater than his. After all, the Dragon Whale King is a strongman from the same era as you, Teacher."

“See, you’re in a hurry again…” The old man slowly stood up and said, “I know about this matter. You really can’t blame the clan for being biased. The Dragon Whale King was able to get this opportunity entirely because of his junior brother, Lu Qingshan.”

"Grandmaster Qingshan?"

The True King clearly knew Lu Qingshan, having previously witnessed Lu Qingshan's breakthrough at the Heavenly Bridge. In his mind, Lu Qingshan was an even more talented individual than the Seven Sword Kings.

“Hmm.” The black-haired ape explained the reason… and continued, “The Dragon Whale King himself is also an invincible king, so there is a chance. In addition, the clan only needs to pay half of the Beast God Inheritance Token to send him into the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance. The Chaos City Lord will definitely agree.”

“You have higher talent, so you don’t need to pay the majority of the price yourself. You only need to pay half the price, and the clan should prepare a succession order for you. At that time, even if the clan disagrees, your teacher can make the decision for you.”

Upon hearing this, King Zhenyan felt a chill run down his spine.

Half a Beast God's Legacy Token?

Even if he sold all the valuable items he had, plus his own resources, he still wouldn't have enough valuable item points.

King Zhenyan clearly understood the value of this inheritance token.

“That Lu Qingshan is really lucky…” Zhenyan Wang looked bitter. He had nothing to say at the moment and could only look at his teacher.

"Don't look at me. Apart from these few treasures I have, I have nothing else. The entire ape-man tribe is supported by me... It's good enough that I can hold on, but I have no resources to help you."

The black-haired ape-man shook his head.

"Teacher, do you think that if I cannot pay half the value of the inheritance token, I will still have a chance to receive it?"

King Zhenyan asked somewhat nervously.

"Yes... but the hope is very slim. Perhaps we will have a chance after endless years, when the clan inheritance tokens have accumulated more."

Upon hearing this, a look of dejection appeared on King Zhenyan's face.

The previous dissatisfaction with the Dragon Whale King vanished after learning the whole story.

After all, he had more favorable terms, but he just couldn't meet the requirements.

Is it possible that King Zhenyan is destined to never have the chance to become a cosmic venerable one in this lifetime?

"Master, this disciple takes his leave."

"Sigh, go ahead!"

……

Compared to the dejected True King, the Dragon Whale King is now in high spirits, his round face beaming with a smile no matter who he meets.

He arrived at Qingshan Residence and met his junior brother, Lu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, I don't know what to say, thank you so much this time."

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother, no need to be so polite. You have been a great help to Qingshan before. Your Blood Crystals will be of great use to me."

That's absolutely true.

If it weren't for the Blood Crystals given to him by the Dragon Whale King, his genetic multiplier would never have had the chance to reach the hundredfold level it is today.

However, in the Dragon Whale King's view, his junior brother was just being polite. After all, he knew the value of the Blood Crystal, which was nothing compared to the Beast God's Inheritance Token.

The Dragon Whale King raised his hand.

He took out a world ring and said, "Junior brother, there are ten thousand Blood Crystals in here. Keep them... Even if you don't need them yourself, you can give them to your disciples when you take them in the future. With your status, it won't be a problem if you just make a call to the company."

"Second Senior Brother, there's no need for that," Lu Qingshan said, waving his hand as he looked at the World Ring.

"Qingshan... Don't worry, these Blood Luo Crystals are nothing to me. I gained a lot on the Blood Luo Continent, but it's too difficult to convert them into cash unless you reach the Venerable level. That's why I'm in such a predicament. The value of these Blood Luo Crystals is far less than that of the Inheritance Token. You can rest assured if you accept them."

"In that case, junior brother, you shall accept it."

Lu Qingshan did not continue to refuse and accepted the Blood Crystal.

Ten thousand Blood Crystals...

That's a considerable sum!

If the second senior brother can take it out so casually, could it be that he looted the temple when he swept through the Blood Luo Continent?
After handing the Blood Crystal to Lu Qingshan, the Dragon Whale King left.

Not long after, Lu Qingshan received news that he had gone to the Ancestral God Sect.

Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Lu Lingxiao arrived at Qingshan Residence.

"Father, your son has completely mastered the secret technique of Thousand Threads Soul Stealing!"
