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

Chapter 298 Granting the Tree of Life, Nurturing an Idol

In the Zijing Island mountain range, Lu Qingshan watched Bodhidharma King depart.

Then return to the cave and examine the world ring.

This is a brand new world ring, completely empty except for a massive Tree of Life growing on a piece of land.

It's about 9,000 kilometers high.

Compared to the World Tree, the Tree of Life is still far inferior.

The Tree of Life can only be cultivated from the branches of the strongest World Tree, making it extremely rare. Even in the human race's treasure trove, there are very few records of it.

As outsiders know, this Tree of Life has the function of stabilizing the divine kingdom. Once integrated into the divine kingdom, the power of the divine kingdom will greatly increase, and powerful marquises can suppress kings with the help of the divine kingdom.

Without the World Tree, a King-level expert could easily destroy a Marquis-level immortal divine kingdom by invading it.

but.

Once part of the most powerful World Tree, the Tree of Life's role must have been more than just that.

"Do you have a name?"

Lu Qingshan walked to the Tree of Life.

This tree of life is alive and possesses its own wisdom.

However, probably because he was born not long ago and had never interacted with anyone else in the Kingdom of God, his wisdom was quite ordinary.

"My name is Xiao Jiu."

The branches of the Tree of Life trembled, as if it were somewhat frightened.

"Little Nine, I will bestow you upon one of my disciples, and you will live in his divine kingdom from now on. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will nurture you to the realm of an immortal god..."

"Thank you very much..."

Xiao Jiu was terrified of Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone.

"Xiao Jiu, I have a few questions for you. Answer me honestly. What is your gene multiplier?" Lu Qingshan asked with some curiosity.

"30 times."

Xiao Jiu replied.

thirty?

Lu Qingshan was slightly disappointed. The Tree of Life was not small, and if its gene multiplier were higher, it could be considered a very good special life form. However, thirty times was still a bit of a gap.

I wonder if, after breaking through to the level of an immortal god, it will undergo another evolution? Like the World Tree, will it increase its size and gene count?

"Besides stabilizing the divine kingdom, what other role do you play?"

Lu Qingshan then asked.

"After I break through to become an immortal god, I can produce the Fountain of Life..." Xiao Jiu answered cautiously.

"The Fountain of Life? Could it be..."

The Ghost King's clone took out a porcelain bottle, opened it, and poured two drops of spring water into the roots of the Tree of Life.

"It is the fountain of life, this is the fountain of life."

He could clearly feel the joy and excitement of the Tree of Life.

We also obtained some information.

A Tree of Life at the level of a Realm Lord needs the Fountain of Life to nurture it in order to grow rapidly, while a Tree of Life at the level of an Immortal God can produce the Fountain of Life itself.

"How many fountains of life can the Tree of Life of the immortal gods produce?"

Lu Qingshan asked.

"Xiao Er and his team can produce one drop per era."

Only one drop in an entire era.

This is way too slow.

Lu Qingshan thought of the spring of his own life, which probably contained tens of millions of drops of life.

"Little Nine, I can give you some of the Fountain of Life. Take it and use it to improve yourself. Assist my disciple well and don't let me down. Also, don't reveal any news about me or General Mantuo, understand?"

Lu Qingshan's last words carried a warning.

"I...I know..." Xiao Jiu's voice trembled slightly.

Seeing that he seemed to have frightened the Tree of Life, Lu Qingshan smiled and tossed a full pot of the Spring of Life to Xiao Jiu.

Then I looked at the empty world ring.

Couldn't help but shook his head.

"This General Mantuo is really stingy... He only gave me a malnourished Tree of Life. But it's fine this way. If he had given me a piece of junk treasure weapon, I really wouldn't know what to do with it in the future. This is for the best!"

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

One hundred thousand years!
For the Mandala God, it might only be a fleeting moment.

But for him, it was too long. You have to understand that it only took him 20,000 years to cultivate from a ninth-level cosmic cultivator to someone comparable to a cosmic venerable. In 100,000 years, anything could happen...

After obtaining the Tree of Life, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and directly teleported to the human territory through his divine kingdom.

Then he sent a message to his disciple Luo, and then waited patiently.

Only a few days have passed.

Lu Qingshan then met his disciple Luo.

There was actually no choice in this bestowal. The only second-class genius disciples he could bestow upon were Luo and Nanhui. The others were not even immortal gods, and since they did not have a divine kingdom, they did not meet the conditions for the bestowal.

As for the two, Lu Qingshan still favored Luo, after all... the Ghost King's clone could take action without revealing the relationship between him and the main body.

"teacher."

Luo watched Lu Qingshan's retreating figure and bowed respectfully.

"Not bad... your strength has already reached the high level of Marquis." Lu Qingshan turned his head, still with that same aged appearance.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Master. I have only just been promoted to the advanced level of the Marquis title. However, my strength is already comparable to that of a typical peak Marquis title holder."

Luo spoke with a smile.

"Hmm, your gene multiplier is six times, which is indeed enough to fight against a typical peak Marquis. Luo... would you dare to let your teacher have a visit to your divine kingdom?"

Lu Qingshan spoke with a smile.

The divine realm is an extremely private place for immortal deities, and teachers rarely request to visit their disciples' divine realm.

"Please, teacher. My divine kingdom is rather simple. Please don't laugh at me."

Luo didn't hesitate for a second.

It directly opens a portal to a divine realm.

"Hehe." Lu Qingshan chuckled and flew straight in, followed by Luo who also entered the passage.

Upon entering the divine realm, Lu Qingshan looked around.

Luo's divine kingdom is not large, only tens of millions of kilometers in diameter. The kingdom is indeed rather shabby, with nothing but a solitary temple standing in the very center.

“I have been busy with work and cultivation and have not had time to manage my divine kingdom. It looks too deserted. I originally planned to bring some geniuses into the divine kingdom for training when I returned to Three Axe Mountain this time, so that there would be more people.”

Luo followed behind Lu Qingshan and said.

"It's better not to."

Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "Teacher..." Luo was somewhat puzzled.

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "From now on, try not to let anyone else into your divine kingdom except yourself. Even if you need to teleport, it's best to do what I do and use plant life."

"I will obey my teacher."

Luo nodded.

"You don't even know anything, yet you listen to me?"

Lu Qingshan looked at him with a slight smile on his lips.

Luo nodded and said, "Teacher, there must be a reason for what you say. I'm sure you're right."

"Haha, working at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company has made you much more worldly. Alright, I won't play games with you anymore. This time I'm giving you a gift. It's best to keep this gift in your divine kingdom and not let anyone else see it."

Lu Qingshan raised his hand and took out the Tree of Life.

Little Nine, the Tree of Life, saw that she was in a divine kingdom... and immediately found a place to take root there.

It preferred the divine realm to the cramped confines of the World Ring.

and.

Lu Qingshan had already given all the necessary instructions, and it knew what it should do.

"Teacher, this is..."

"This is an extremely precious Tree of Life... Don't underestimate it just because it's only at the World Lord level; it has considerable uses... Try mobilizing the power of your divine kingdom to see what happens."

Seeing that Xiao Jiu had perfectly integrated into the body, Lu Qingshan then spoke.

Luo tried to mobilize the power of the divine kingdom.

A look of shock suddenly flashed across his face.

"You've discovered it, haven't you?"

"Teacher...this...this is amazing."

Luo didn't know what to say.

He had never heard of the Tree of Life before. How did his teacher obtain it?

"The Tree of Life can greatly enhance the stability of your divine kingdom, allowing it to expand more rapidly. After a while, you'll find that even those at the initial stage of becoming a King can be easily suppressed within your divine kingdom." Lu Qingshan turned to his disciple. "Do you think this thing can be seen by others?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Luo nodded quickly.

"Hmm... His name is Xiao Jiu. You can communicate with him... Remember, this is your last resort to save your life, so don't use it carelessly."

"Disciple understands."

"I will go into seclusion in your divine kingdom for a year, so do not disturb me."

Lu Qingshan moved and instantly disappeared from Luo's sight, reappearing in Luo's temple.

He chose to stay here for a year because he had another treasure to bestow upon Luo, so it was just a random excuse.

……

The initial universe of chaos city.

Inside the secret chamber of Qingshan Residence.

After the Ghost King's avatar bestowed the Tree of Life upon Luo, the returned information immediately followed.

[You bestowed upon your disciple, Luo, a Tree of Life at the level of a Realm Lord, and received a thousandfold return; you have obtained a World Tree at the level of a Realm Lord.]

as predicted!

The cashback was exactly as Lu Qingshan had predicted, which meant that his plan had succeeded.

He doesn't need to take any risks to snatch the materials for his clone from the jaws of the strongest World Tree.

The key is.

What's being returned appears to be a complete World Tree.

A World Tree of the World Lord level?

This thing...

Lu Qingshan did not take it out immediately. This thing was definitely alive, a World Tree of the World Lord level, with a thousand times the genetic level... the divine power of a Marquis and Immortal, and the innate secret technique of controlling time and space.

If this thing is taken out and it turns out to be a rebel, then there will be some trouble.

Lu Qingshan entered his own inner world.

His inner world was enormous, with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers. Only then did he take out the World Tree that had returned to him.

fine……

The World Tree was taken out, and it seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep for some reason.

Lu Qingshan casually picked a leaf from the World Tree.

The innate secret technique, 'Clone!'

As the secret technique was activated, the runes on the original core shimmered with light, and the branches and leaves of the World Tree were covered by an invisible force and slowly disappeared.

Then the inner world began to vibrate, and endless world power converged from the surroundings, eventually forming a plant sprout that shone with golden light.

Above the sprout was a faint light shield formed by the convergence of the world's power, like a transparent eggshell.

The light shield was constantly absorbing the power of the world, strengthening that weak seedling.

really……

It worked!
Luo Feng was unable to create a World Tree clone, but he successfully created one!
However, this gestation process is rather long, probably taking about a thousand years...

A thousand years? That's too long!

They sensed that the life force provided by the power of the world seemed somewhat insufficient.

Lu Qingshan took out a drop of the Water of Life and poured it onto the light shield.

The water of life transformed into energy and disappeared, and to the naked eye, the tender shoot seemed to have grown a little stronger.

"Just as I guessed, the Water of Life and the World Tree share the same origin, which can accelerate its gestation."

The reason why the gestation takes so long is simply because the power of the world is insufficient. With the assistance of the Fountain of Life, the gestation time can be reduced by at least half, and the gestated World Tree will be more perfect.

The World Tree clone had already begun to develop, so there was no need to worry about it anymore. Lu Qingshan looked at the World Tree, a Lord-level being, that had fallen into a deep sleep.

This thing is a good one; its value is definitely greater than that immature Space Heart.

Unfortunately, it was obtained through cashback and cannot continue to be cashbacked. I'll wait until I'm stronger in the future to exchange it for treasures for the human race.

The value of a living World Tree at the World Lord level is self-evident... If a top human genius were to possess it, it would very likely create a top overlord.

This is something that even the most powerful cosmic entity couldn't afford, even if it went bankrupt.

Even the strongest World Tree, at the cost of its own potential and life essence, only managed to cultivate eight trees over countless years.

Lu Qingshan had already experienced the value of this special life form at the World Lord level when he bought the Illusionary Gold Spirit for his son.

The Phantom Gold Spirit is worth 1400 Treasure Points, but compared to the World Tree, it's nothing.

However, this thing cannot be exposed for the time being. We should deal with it after we have become stronger, otherwise it will be troublesome to explain.
