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

Chapter 325 The Third Peak, the Excited Demon Clan

Virtual universe, a cultivation space exclusively for Grandmasters who have reached the King level.

Lu Qingshan and Ling Yu entered one after the other.

"Speak, what questions do you have? I'll see if I can help you resolve them," Lu Qingshan said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.

Lingyu looked around before saying, "Teacher, not long ago, with your help, I broke through to the second level of the Thunder Beast Eight Fists, but I've only just begun. Since then, no matter how hard I try, I haven't been able to make any progress. It seems I've hit a bottleneck."

Hearing her say that, Lu Qingshan shook his head: "Bottlenecks are usually stuck in the middle or the end of a level. How can there be a bottleneck right after breaking through? Show me your full power of fusion law and I will see where the problem is."

"is teacher."

Ling Yu straightened her expression and began to unleash the Thunder Beast Eight Fists with all her might, displaying all the Beast God's Way she had mastered.

Lu Qingshan did not interrupt.

Only after Lingyu had finished her demonstration did she speak, saying, "It seems that using the Snow Demon Flower to help you skip the first level of perfection and directly enter the second level of entry was a bit of forcing your growth."

With Lu Qingshan's current understanding of the Path of the Beast God, he could easily discover the problem Ling Yu was facing.

Logically speaking... rapid progress is not a problem. For example, Lu Qingshan himself has progressed many times faster than Ling Yu, but he has a solid foundation, so he will not encounter any problems.

Lingyu is different. She only learned the basics from the White Ape King, and then she studied most of the rest on her own. Not to mention the complete Law of Thunder-Time Fusion, she only mastered a small part of the secret technique "Eight Fists of Thunder Beast".

While the "Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast" is an extremely precious secret technique of the Beast God's Way, it still falls short compared to the truly complete Beast God's Way. This is why various races possess inheritances of secret techniques related to the Beast God's Way, and why Beast God Inheritance Tokens are so highly valued.

Using the Snow Demon Flower, Ling Yu gained a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold increase in comprehension. Following her own path, she forcibly cultivated the Thunder Beast Eight Fists to the second level of entry-level, only to find herself completely bewildered.

In this situation, there are only two solutions: either continue using the Snow Demon Flower, where the increased comprehension allows for further progress without the need for basic training—a method reserved for true geniuses, and Ling Yu can only achieve this with the Snow Demon Flower's enhancement…

Alternatively, he could fill in the gaps in his foundational knowledge. Only with a sufficient foundation, given Ling Yu's current level of comprehension, could he continue to cultivate and improve.

Seeing that the teacher hadn't spoken yet, Lingyu felt a little uneasy.

"Teacher, is my problem very serious?"

"It's very serious."

Lingyu's face paled slightly upon hearing this, but she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her teacher's words.

"It's similar to Lingxi's problem back then."

Looking at her smiling teacher, Lingyu patted her heart before saying, "Teacher easily solved Lingxi's problem back then, so my problem must be nothing to you..."

“If it were anyone else, it might really be troublesome... Even your White Ape King mentor might not be able to help you solve it. It's fortunate that you are my disciple.”

Lu Qingshan chuckled: "You're still too impatient. After you perfected the first level, you should have realized that you were still lacking and should have made up for it. Then you could have naturally broken through to the second level, which would have just taken a little longer. But you, relying on the comprehension boost from the Snow Demon Flower, recklessly broke through to the second level!"

"Teacher, I am about to undergo a life-or-death trial and I am thinking of improving my strength as soon as possible. Also, I wonder if you know what it feels like to use the Snow Demon Flower? I really couldn't resist it back then."

Lingyu said with shame.

That's what the teacher said.

She roughly understood the reason.

Her foundation is flawed; like building blocks, she's currently in a precarious state, unable to build anything further! This is a self-protective mechanism.

"You're missing quite a few things, but they're all fairly basic. You can fill those gaps while you're training on the outer battlefields. Then your current problems will be cured without any medicine. Just watch..."

Lu Qingshan gently raised his hand.

He then put into practice the insights into the laws of the Thunder Beast Eight Fists that Ling Yu had just demonstrated.

The first layer of content he began to reveal.

The law of fusion, in Lu Qingshan's hands, was like a toy, something he could manipulate at will.

Lingyu observed carefully.

If you notice even the slightest difference between what the teacher presents and what you present, that's probably where you're lacking.

She quickly wrote it down.

The first level of entry, the first level of mastery, the first level of peak, the first level of perfection...

The second level!
Lu Qingshan continued to display the image above.

The following content was in a field that Lingyu had not yet explored. She watched intently, wanting to memorize every step the teacher took.

The subsequent content shown by the teacher will be of great reference value for her future practice.

After completing the second level of perfection, Lu Qingshan finished his practice!

"This content should be enough for you to understand cultivation in the extraterritorial battlefield. You don't need to worry about not being able to remember it. I have already recorded all of this and sent it to your email. As for the parts where your foundation is lacking, with your talent, you should be able to notice them after comparison, so I won't go into details."

"Teacher, I still hope you will go to the trouble." Lingyu twirled a strand of her purple hair and smiled sweetly, "That way, I can relax a bit."

"It's not that simple. If cultivation is all about guidance, it's like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. Only when you discover and change for yourself can you remember more deeply and avoid repeating the same problems in the future."

Lu Qingshan said seriously.

"Yes, the disciple understands."

"Yes, let's go back to Green Mountain Residence."

……

Having resolved Lingyu's cultivation issue, the two returned to Qingshan Residence, where Lu Qingshan told Lingyu about the situation in the extraterritorial battlefield.

Ling Yu had never been to a real extraterrestrial battlefield and knew everything from the information, which made her more vulnerable. "After you enter the extraterrestrial battlefield, you can join a small team in a low-level combat area and fight for about a hundred years. During this hundred years, you will be able to fully adapt to life on the extraterrestrial battlefield. After completing the basic military merit tasks, you can leave the team and go wherever you want!"

"In principle, these battlefields are randomly assigned the first time you enter, but you can also find an immortal god veteran and ask him to take you to the designated battlefield and barracks. You only need to pay some money."

"On the battlefield outside the region, we must be careful in everything we do and never underestimate any opponent."

"I hope you can come back alive."

……

Ancestral God Sect, Bauhinia Island.

A huge luminous pearl hung high above the cave, illuminating the entire cave. Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone opened his eyes, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

"The Path of the Beast God has finally broken through to the peak of the third level."

A century has passed since he last tricked those inheritors of the demon race. In the past century, he has made tremendous progress in the path of the Beast God.

Keep in mind that a hundred years ago, he was merely a second-level inheritor.

After earning over a hundred Glory Points from the demon race inheritor, Lu Qingshan chose to go into seclusion and quickly and easily broke through to the third level of the Path of the Beast God.

The bottleneck between the second and third levels is generally not a problem for Lu Qingshan, given his foundation.

After he broke through, just as he stabilized the third level of entry, Ling Yu broke through the first level of perfection in succession, and the return of the second level of entry came immediately, pushing him to the peak of the third level in an instant.

Over the past few decades, Lu Qingshan has been absorbing and digesting the experience gained from those cashback deals, transforming it entirely into his own strength.

Now, the transformation has finally been successful, and I have become a standard third-level inheritor. Among the billions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect, I am already considered to be at a mid-level.

This is why Lu Qingshan, in his true form, could easily guide Ling Yu and find the reason for her problem in the virtual universe.

"Once I reach the third level, I will have one more free opportunity to inherit the knowledge. It would be a waste not to use it."

As a successor of the Path of the Beast God, one free opportunity to inherit the Path of the Beast God is granted for each level. He had already used the opportunity for the second level, so he certainly couldn't waste the opportunity for the third level.

As for the hundred-plus Glory Points, Lu Qingshan would naturally save them for later use, or perhaps he could see if he could continue to earn some Glory Points after breaking through to the third level of Inheritor.

After all, a hundred years ago, he was only a second-level inheritor. Probably no one would have thought that he would reach the peak of the third level in just a hundred years. Moreover, Lu Qingshan couldn't even judge how much he would improve after this inheritance.

"Demon scum!"

As he stepped out of the mansion, Lu Qingshan looked at the silver fox on the opposite mountain and muttered a curse.

The Silver Fox King seemed not to hear, simply staring at Lu Qingshan from afar, completely ignoring him.

These demons are truly incorrigible; it seems necessary to teach them another lesson!
The One-Horned Demon King was inherently tyrannical. If it weren't for Lu Qingshan's calm personality, which allowed him to suppress the One-Horned Demon King's instincts, he probably would have already lured the demon clan's inheritor out and killed him.

Lu Qingshan arrived at Zijing Island Square.

Dozens of inheritors have gathered here.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan arrive, someone greeted him.

"Blood King, are you going to try your luck at the treasure trove?"

"Haha, Prince Li Shuo."

Lu Qingshan recognized this person as Li Shuo Wang, the inheritor of the Human Race's Hongmeng. He shook his head and said, "I plan to go to the Land of Inheritance."

"It seems that Blood Nether King has become the third inheritor. Congratulations!"

King Li Shuo was not surprised. A hundred years ago, King Xue You had severely tricked the demon race, which made many people aware that King Xue You's path to the Beast God had already reached the second level of perfection. Now that he had been in seclusion for a hundred years, it was normal for him to break through to the third level of entry.

"Congratulations, Blood Nether King!"

"King Qianyu, you're too kind."

……

Lu Qingshan responded to the several King-level inheritors who greeted him, and then passed directly through the water curtain into the inheritance ground.

The Silver Fox King followed them to the Purple Thorn Island Square.

Seeing Lu Qingshan enter the inheritance ground, he was slightly surprised, and then sent a message to Venerable Burning Annihilation.

“Your Excellency, the Blood Nether King has gone to the Land of Inheritance. He should have become a third-level inheritor.”

"Notify our demon race's third-level inheritors that Blood Nether King has broken through. Isn't that guy very cunning? He concealed his strength to bully our demon race's second-level inheritors. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant when facing our demon race's third-level inheritors this time!"

“Yes, let the third-level inheritor of the clan challenge him and see if he dares to accept. If he doesn’t dare, then laugh at him mercilessly.”

The Silver Fox King smiled slightly, and then relayed the message to the successor of the demon race in the world of Glory.

"Blood Nether King has actually broken through! Good! Let's see how arrogant he can be now!"

"Everyone, stop fighting! I'll go first! I'll make sure he gets back all the Glory Points he swindled from our demon race."

"I remember this Blood Ghost King had over a hundred Glory Points... over a hundred..."

"This Blood Nether King can only bully the little guys of our demon race at the second level. Our demon race's most elite geniuses are all at the third level."

When Blood Nether King's information appeared on the leaderboard of the third-level inheritors, many third-level inheritors of the demon race sent challenge invitations.

Revenge is only one aspect.

The main attraction is the 100+ Glory Points; it's just too tempting!
