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

Chapter 330 The Envy of the Qianwu Kingdom's King

"Blood Nether King, thank you. That Venerable Beishan was definitely after me."

Watching Venerable Beishan disappear rapidly, the Dragon Whale King's expression was somewhat uncertain.

This isn't his first time visiting the Ancestral God Cult.

He naturally understood the purpose of Venerable Beishan's visit.

If it weren't for Blood Nether King by his side, he would probably have suffered the same humiliation as the other humans in the Hong Alliance.

He, the Dragon Whale King, has lived a long life and experienced everything. He doesn't care about his own pride, but here he represents a member of the Hongmeng.

"It's nothing. That Venerable Beishan is just an ordinary Universe Venerable. Dragon Whale King, you've broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, so you might be able to crush him!"

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

Since Venerable Beishan was so sensible, he naturally had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

But what deep-seated hatred does this guy have for the human race? Lu Qingshan plans to find out after leaving the treasure land…

"Dragon Whale King, let's go and take a look at those mountains."

"it is good!"

The two of them were lifted into the air and landed on a mountain peak.

"Blood Ghost King!"

"King of the Seas".

……

Some people recognized Lu Qingshan and greeted him. Lu Qingshan would also respond after checking their identities.

After pausing on one mountain for a while without any response, he continued to try another large mountain.

Gradually, many inheritors learned that the Blood Nether King had come to the Land of Inheritance.

"Rumors are unreliable. Everyone says that the Blood Ghost King is tyrannical, but I think he's fine. He even greeted me just now."

"These messages were probably deliberately spread by the demon race. Apart from the demon race, has the Blood Nether King ever bullied any other inheritors?"

"I haven't heard of that! It's just a rumor that the One-Horned Demon King is extremely bloodthirsty, but it seems the rumor is wrong."

"It's all just a conspiracy by the demon race. Rumors... None of us have ever seen the other one-horned ghost kings. It's all hearsay. The demon race suffered a great loss, so they will definitely smear the Blood Nether King."

"No wonder the Blood Nether King referred to the demon race as scum..."

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone else hear!"

……

Along the way, Lu Qingshan greeted others and received some positive feedback.

The main reason is that he is famous enough and strong enough.

Otherwise, a simple response wouldn't be touted like this.

Another mountain peak remained unresponsive.

The two have been in this treasure-filled place for more than half a month, and have yet to make any progress.

The Dragon Whale King shook his head and said, "I never had any hope, but I didn't expect that even you, Blood Nether King, couldn't trigger the conditions for opening these treasures. It's just too strict."

"That's normal. After all, any one of the treasures produced in this land can be called a top-tier treasure. If it were so easy to open, it would have been taken by someone else long ago. Would it still be our turn?"

Lu Qingshan was not surprised.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good attitude, Blood Nether King. I thought you would be disappointed," the Dragon Whale King said with a smile.

"Haha, it's not that bad."

Lu Qingshan was naturally not disappointed.

What's there to be disappointed about?
Aren't they just some precious and rare treasures?
I've already acquired several of my own inheritance tokens. If I were to sell them, it wouldn't be a problem to exchange them for an ordinary treasure.

He is currently weak, and his disciples are also weak. Once he becomes stronger, he can recruit suitable disciples or train his current disciples to be stronger.

The treasure can be easily cashed out. For him, it's like the ingredients that grow in Lingxi's inner world—there are so many that he can't possibly use them all.

Lu Qingshan's desire for this treasure trove was far less than that of the other inheritors.

"Let's try a few more places, and then go and take a look at those more than one hundred highest peaks."

Lu Qingshan looked at the 108 mountain peaks in the distance. Those were the highest peaks in the Treasure Land, and the treasures inside were the most top-tier in the entire Treasure Land. Over countless years, only forty-odd of them had been opened.

The last one to initiate this was a cosmic venerable being from the demon race.

"it is good!"

The two landed on an unremarkable mountain peak again, and like the previous peak, there was no reaction. Just as they were about to leave...

suddenly!

"Boom!"

The earth began to shake, and the entire mountain peak began to sway violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"The treasure has been opened!"

One after another, figures flew over, eager to witness this scene.

Everyone on the mountain was overjoyed.

"who is it?"

"I don't know, could it be me?"

"It seems like the Blood Nether King came over just now. Could it be that the Blood Nether King activated it?"

"Blood Ghost King... then it's not surprising..."

As the mountain range swayed, both Dragon Whale King and Lu Qingshan felt a surge of excitement in their eyes.

"Blood King, congratulations."

"The Dragon Whale King said excitedly."

"You're congratulating us a bit too soon. We still don't know who opened the treasure. We'll have to wait until the treasure is revealed to find out."

"Haha, Blood Nether King, you're too modest. Those people were already on this mountain before the two of us. If they could trigger it, they would have done so long ago. The treasure only triggered after we arrived. It must be because of you..."

The Dragon Whale King was extremely excited. Before coming, he said he wanted to share in the good luck, and he never expected that he would actually get lucky.

I had actually witnessed the opening of a treasure.

Suddenly, the Dragon Whale King's smile froze, as if he had been completely stunned. Then, a series of beams of light flashed, kicking all the other inheritors on the mountain peak away. Even the Blood Nether King was kicked away by an irresistible force.

Only the Dragon Whale King remained atop the mountain. "It's me?"

"Why me?"

The messages that came through his consciousness left the Dragon Whale King bewildered. A treasure that even a genius as brilliant as the Blood Nether King couldn't obtain had been acquired by an old man like himself.

Are you sure you're not joking?
However, the Dragon Whale King soon understood the reason, and while he was pleasantly surprised, he was also somewhat amused and exasperated.

"This senior... is truly... unconventional..."

As the Dragon Whale King touched the world ring enveloped in multicolored aurora, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"I am the Lord of the Nine Suns, a guardian beast god of the Ancestral God Sect... I heard that the Ancestral God Sect has created a treasure trove, so today I will place one of my unused treasures, the Meteorite Iron Armor, inside, hoping that a destined person can open it."

"The conditions for activation are simple... You only need to live for two trillion epochs, be a peak inheritor of the third level of the Path of the Beast God, and not possess any powerful treasures during your time with the Ancestral God Sect to activate my inheritance. Simple, right... Hahaha..."

……

The carefree smile gradually faded.

The Dragon Whale King picked up the ring and examined it. It was an unclaimed world ring that only required a trace of spiritual imprint to recognize its owner. Inside was a silver-white suit of armor.

"Armor?"

The Dragon Whale King left its spiritual imprint on it, and was then shocked.

"This isn't just ordinary armor; it's actually a powerful set of treasures..."

The name of this treasure was so ordinary that the Dragon Whale King originally thought it was a decent piece of armor, but he never expected it to be a complete set of treasures.

It consists of 18 precious items in total... boots, armor, helmet, weapon...

These 18 treasures can be used separately, each possessing the power of an ordinary treasure. They can also be combined to greatly increase their power... making them comparable in value to ordinary supreme treasures.

“I’m rich!”

The Dragon Whale King was overjoyed.

However, he immediately suppressed his smile before the colorful aurora disappeared...

Having lived for so many years, he naturally knew the value of this treasure set. This thing absolutely could not be exposed, otherwise even the most powerful beings in the universe would fight over it.

"It's the Human Dragon Whale King!"

"Why is it humans again?"

"I originally thought that the Blood Ghost King had obtained the treasure, but I didn't expect that the Blood Ghost King was also kicked out, and the treasure was actually obtained by the human race."

"This Dragon Whale King has mediocre talent. He has lived for countless epochs and is still only a third-level inheritor. What makes him so capable of obtaining the inheritance?"

"Humans are so lucky. First it was the Seven Sword Kings, and now it's the Dragon Whale King."

Jealousy and resentment filled countless inheritors with displeasure upon seeing that the treasure had been obtained by the Dragon Whale King.

If it were the Blood Ghost King, that would be one thing.

What makes this Dragon Whale King so special?! They were all unconvinced.

"Dragon Whale King, what treasure have you obtained?"

"A cosmic venerable from the Northern Frontier Alliance asked curiously."

"Yes, what treasure does the Dragon Whale King possess?"

Another cosmic being spoke.

"Just an ordinary piece of armor." The Dragon Whale King sighed and took out a silver-white black iron armor, one of the pieces in the treasure set.

Upon seeing that it was a precious piece of armor, the jealous inheritors' mood improved considerably.

Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of top-tier treasure, soul defense treasure, or flying palace treasure.

Although a piece of armor of great value is more precious than a weapon of great value, it is considered a very low-level treasure in this land of treasures.

This is also why the Dragon Whale King took out his armor.

"Haha, Dragon Whale King, don't be so picky. It's already quite good. Armor that can be placed in the Treasure Land is at least better than ordinary heavy treasure armor." The cosmic venerable who had spoken earlier laughed heartily, and then flew away.

"Congratulations, Dragon Whale King!"

"Dragon Whale King, please treat us!"

Sensing the change in everyone's attitude, the Dragon Whale King secretly breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice to the Blood Ghost King, saying, "I'm going back to Purple Thorn Island first. Blood Ghost King, you can wander around by yourself some more."

"Okay, go ahead."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"Okay, I'll treat you to drinks when you get back."

After saying this, the Dragon Whale King quickly left the treasure land and returned to his manor in the Purple Thorn Island mountains.

Here, with absolutely no one to disturb him and no one daring to barge in, he carefully examined the precious set of treasures.

"Each of these 18 treasures is far more valuable than my previous two, and together they are worth immeasurable. I, the Dragon Whale King, have been unlucky for so long. Is it really time for my luck to turn around?"

The Dragon Whale King was overjoyed.

After being unlucky for half my life, I've been incredibly lucky in this era. First, I received the Inheritance Token from my junior brother, and now I've obtained a precious set of treasures.

"Tell the teacher."

After recognizing the treasure set as its owner, the Dragon Whale King logged into the virtual universe, replied to all the congratulatory emails sent by the inheritors of the Hong Alliance, and then went to the manor of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler on Thunder Island.

"Master, your disciple has struck it rich!"

The Dragon Whale King was extremely excited.

There is absolutely no need to hide anything from the teacher. Firstly, it shows absolute trust in the teacher, and secondly, there may also be an element of showing off involved.

When I fell, I lost two treasures and owed a huge debt. I was hoping to get some gold coins, but I didn't succeed... Now that I have obtained a set of treasures, it wouldn't feel perfect if I didn't show it off to my teacher.

"What a fine meteorite iron armor! Not bad, not bad at all. Dragon Whale... you've hit the jackpot."

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom looked at the armor simulated in the virtual universe and showed an envious expression.

This treasure set is estimated to be worth more than 1 Treasure Point. If the disciple is willing to give it to him, it would be enough for him to pay off all his debts to everyone except his clan.

"I have to thank my junior brother. If it weren't for his inheritance token, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"The Dragon Whale King sighed."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded: "Just remember that. I've noticed your strength has improved quite rapidly recently, and you've had some good luck too. You might actually have a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable realm. But you need to hurry up, your junior brother will probably be close to it too!"
