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

Chapter 306 Flowing Shadow, Methods for Further Improvement
In the human realm, in a desolate, uninhabited starry sky.

Kabel used the Star-Eating Grass's divine kingdom to teleport back, and seeing the figure cultivating, he quietly waited by the side.

After Lu Qingshan broke through to the Immortal God realm, Kabel reverted to his original name.

For him now.

There is absolutely no need to be so cautious anymore.

After a long while, seeing Lu Qingshan open his eyes and get up again, he walked over and said respectfully, "Master, the items have been retrieved."

"Oh, let me see it."

Lu Qingshan accepted the World Ring.

He took out the most precious boots, the Flowing Shadow Boots, and equipped them to himself.

During his five hundred years of seclusion, he had completely comprehended the two layers of secret runes above, and now that he had them in his hands, he could use them directly.

Secret runes activated.

A secret rune was activated.

The Ghost King's clone vanished like a streak of light, and in an instant, it appeared a million kilometers away.

Such speed is comparable to teleportation.

Kabel stood there, looking at Lu Qingshan who was experimenting with boots, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.

"Master, you're so amazing, so powerful!"

As an immortal god, Kabel had far more experience than Shang Jie and knew just how incredible Lu Qingshan's current speed was.

After experimenting for a while, Lu Qingshan stopped.

The speed is more than ten times faster than before, and the agility has also been greatly improved. With such a treasure, it will probably be much faster than a spaceship for short journeys in the future.

Of course, for long journeys, spaceships are still necessary. Traveling on your own is tiring and requires consuming your own energy, while spaceships only need energy.

"With these Cosmic Light and Shadow Boots, even if I encounter a Cosmic Venerable I am no match for and want to escape, it will be very difficult for him to stop me. If I am chasing down an enemy, I can make him despair!"

With the spatial blockade combined with these Cosmic Light and Shadow Boots, Lu Qingshan couldn't imagine how a King-level Invincible would escape if he were to pursue him... The record of True King Yan escaping from the hands of a Universe Venerable would be absolutely impossible when facing him.

If the first level of secret runes is this powerful, what about the second level?

Lu Qingshan felt a surge of excitement.

After resting for a while, he activated the second layer of secret runes again... With a slight movement of his feet, he appeared a million kilometers away with a whoosh, which was much faster than teleportation.

If you're adventuring in a secret cosmic realm, this is far more useful than teleportation. Teleportation requires you to probe ahead for potential dangers and meets certain conditions before it can happen. This, on the other hand, relies entirely on your own speed, eliminating that risk.

"Try the battle mode."

Lu Qingshan simulates a battle scenario.

His figure flashed and moved swiftly through the starry sky. After each movement, a phantom shadow would appear in the spot where he stood. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of the same shadows. These shadows looked completely real, and even their divine power aura was exactly the same as Lu Qingshan's. It was difficult for ordinary people to determine which one was Lu Qingshan's true self.

Only Lu Qingshan himself knows exactly where he is, and he can move infinitely among these shadows...

"Zhou Guang Liuying Boots... Liuying..."

Lu Qingshan finally discovered the origin of the boot's name.

The special form of the second level of this secret technique is the true core of this treasure.

Great!

A slight smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

He had comprehended the secret runes but had not used them. Now that he had experienced them firsthand, he realized how extraordinary this treasure was.

With this treasure, he could completely control the battle against the Cosmic Venerable, fighting or retreating at will...

"Burn the Venerable One!"

Lu Qingshan thought of that cosmic venerable one from the demon race.

If given the chance, I might try it out in front of him!
This Universe Venerable is just an ordinary Universe Venerable of the Demon Race, with average strength, which makes him a suitable target for the experiment. The key is that the other party is also willing!
"Now my second level of the Path of the Beast God has reached a bottleneck, and I can't make any progress in a short time. I have completely mastered the Dragon Fury move, and its power has increased a lot compared to before. I can return to the Ancestral God Sect to continue planning my next steps."

Having completed his mission and obtained a treasure that suited him, the Ghost King's clone no longer hesitated and directly teleported back to his home on Zijing Island of the Ancestral God Sect.

The Ancestral God Cult has more resources, and it is here that he can find a direction for his continued improvement.

Upon returning to the Ancestral God Sect, Lu Qingshan entered the Glory Secret Realm and reviewed the news from the past five hundred years.

The Dark King sent him several emails, and the Dragon Whale King also sent one... Lu Qingshan looked at them and, seeing nothing serious, replied that he was in seclusion and that he had received the message.

I went out again.

He looked at the demon clan inheritor who was staring at him from not far away.

The Ghost King's clone frowned slightly, a flame flashing in his eyes. The Ghost King's clone was inherently violent, and being constantly watched made him unhappy.

"This Silver Fox King... is he courting death?"

"Humph!"

The Silver Fox King snorted coldly, completely unconcerned about being discovered. Lu Qingshan arrived outside the Dragon Whale King's residence. After replying to the Dragon Whale King's message, the latter had sent a message inviting him to his home.

The two were neighbors, so visiting each other was very convenient.

"Blood Ghost! Haha, it's been hundreds of years since I last saw you. Did you gain anything from this seclusion?"

The Dragon Whale King came out to greet him and patted Lu Qingshan on his broad shoulder.

"Fortunately, my Path of the Beast God has improved somewhat. It's just that being watched by others is a bit unpleasant."

Dragon Whale King looked up at Silver Fox King, a sharp glint in his eyes, and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "A bunch of clowns, don't bother with them! Brother Blood Nether, you may not know this, but during your seclusion, a Universe Venerable of the Demon Race failed to assassinate our human race's genius, the Seven Swords King, and was instead killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

"Are they crazy? They actually made a move right here in the Ancestral God Sect?" Lu Qingshan walked in and asked curiously.

No wonder the Lord of Chaos City specifically warned him to be careful; this demon race has gone so far as to take action against the Ancestral God Sect.

"Their idea was good; they wanted to quickly enslave the Seven Sword Kings with the help of the Universe Venerable. However, they did not expect that the Seven Sword Kings were protected by a powerful treasure, so they failed. They tried to kill him by force, but were blocked for a moment by the Seven Sword Kings' domain treasure, and then were killed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

“This…” Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised: “You humans are really rich.”

The Dragon Whale King looked embarrassed and waved his hand, saying, "The Seven Sword Kings all got their rewards through their own luck. They obtained their Seven Sword Treasures on their own, and the Domain Treasure was obtained from the Treasure Land. The human race only gave them a Soul Defense Treasure."

"That's pretty good... A soul defense treasure is far more precious than other treasures," Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

The Dragon Whale King said with some envy, "After all, he is a genius. It's normal for him to be targeted by alien races and receive some special treatment. For example, the demon race would definitely not trade a universe venerable for my life."

"Hehe, Dragon Whale King, don't underestimate yourself. With your strength and the inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect, you still have a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable realm. You might even become a Universe Venerable before the Seven Sword Kings."

"Haha, if that's the case, I'll definitely treat Blood Nether King to a drink."

……

After chatting with the Dragon Whale King for a while and learning about some information from the past five hundred years, Lu Qingshan pondered how to improve himself.

Genetic level...

A hundredfold increase in genes was the limit of the original universe, but Lu Qingshan knew it wasn't the real limit.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Manual is a very difficult technique to obtain, but Lu Qingshan has a cashback function, so it's still possible to acquire a similar technique... However, he would need to find a similar basic technique or create one himself...

Creating is too difficult...

Without any theoretical basis, it's like trying to build a skyscraper out of thin air—it's completely impossible to succeed.

Then we can only look for similar secret methods.

Lu Qingshan had several ideas.

Trading with the Mountain-Sitting Guest... If the Mountain-Sitting Guest can obtain Heavenly Soul Crystals to record the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, he naturally has ways to obtain even lower-level secret techniques. As long as it can increase the gene multiplier, it's fine, and it doesn't even need to exceed one hundred times. Such secret techniques are restricted by the original cosmic will and should not be as exaggerated as the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual.

However, trying to trade with the Mountain Man is extremely difficult, akin to asking a tiger for its skin!

He did not want to have any contact with them before he could contend with the strongest opponents.

At the very least, one must be able to face the strongest beings without fear in the primordial universe.

Secondly, there's the option of finding it yourself... For example, the Yan God Clan. The Yan Emperor was able to elevate his genetic level by 10000 times through his own evolution, which was definitely not a conventional method. Other universe lords, even fifth-order universe lords like the Chaos City Lord and the Star River Lord, do not have such abilities. The Yan Emperor simply does not have this comprehension and talent.

It is highly likely that Emperor Yan possessed a similar technique, which, combined with the unique bloodline talent of the Yan God Clan, enabled him to achieve such an effect.

The Yan God Clan and Earth's lineage are both carefully nurtured by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so there's no reason for them to be treated so differently.

The primordial universe is infinitely vast, and many life forms have increased their genetic multipliers through evolution, such as the World Tree... 1000 times that of a World Lord, 3000 times that of an Immortal, and about 5000 to 6000 times that of a Universe Venerable... If we could understand the principles behind this, it might be of some help.

This path of advancement, after all, violates the original rules governing the universe, making it quite difficult... and requires careful consideration.

The second path is much simpler.

That is to continue to increase his body's amplitude, cultivate the Time Body to the fifth level of perfection, a hundredfold amplitude... In that case, his strength will be greatly enhanced.

To cultivate to the fifth level, relying solely on the three Time Compasses is definitely not enough; at the very least, it needs to be combined with the Ice Prison Dew. In the future, it can also be used for cashback assistance...

This path is simpler and does not violate the laws governing the original universe.

As for external forces.

That is a priceless treasure, a supreme treasure...

Major treasures are easy to obtain; a second-class genius at the Marquis level can be rewarded with a King-level divine weapon that matches his attributes. However, supreme treasures are more difficult to obtain, as there is currently no mechanism to trigger the cheat system, and Lu Qingshan is unaware of the conditions.

However, being a disciple of an immortal god who is granted the title of King can be bestowed with great treasures... I wonder if these treasures can be retrieved.

"Although the Ice Prison Dew is cheaper than the Ice Prison Star Stone, it is still extremely expensive. If you want to buy it, you will probably have to sell your most precious treasures."

The Ghost King's clone now possesses a total of four treasures. He uses three of them himself and cannot sell them, leaving only the pair of hammers he previously seized from the Demon King Kongxuan.

He obtained this treasure through his own strength; its origins are clean, and it has nothing to do with the original owner. It can be traded away without any issues.

Treasures are precious, but they are not as important as improving one's strength.

After leaving the Dragon Whale King, Lu Qingshan found the special life form Zi Kou Flora in the Glory World.
