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

Chapter 345 Apology, the Inflated Qianwu Clan

The Dragon Whale Venerable's return this time was very high-profile.

The news had already spread throughout Chaos City the moment they emerged from the initial cosmic passage.

The Sky King's contribution was undoubtedly significant.

Chaos City, Nine-Yu Tower.

This is the residence of the Black Mist King in Chaos City. It has nine floors. When the Black Mist King built it, she made a decision that she would live on the floor corresponding to the number of diagrams she comprehended on the Nine Universe Chaos Stele.

In the main hall on the seventh floor of the Nine Realms Tower, King Zhenyan, King Longyu, and King Heiwu were discussing the mysteries of the Chaos Stele.

This is a habit they've cultivated over countless years: the three learn from and improve together, and whenever one of them encounters a bottleneck, the other two will do their utmost to help. Although True King's understanding of the laws has now surpassed the two of them, and he rarely receives help anymore, he hasn't forgotten his promise. Whether it's Black Mist King or Jade King encountering problems, he will always make time to come and discuss solutions together.

"Black Mist King, you've walked into a dead end yourself. Have you figured it out yet?"

King Zhenyan took out a pot of fine wine, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"I've figured it out. It's all thanks to you, Master Zhenyan, that you found the key issue so quickly. If it weren't for your guidance, this problem would probably have troubled me for at least several thousand epochs."

"You're welcome. The two of you helped me a lot back then. Without our three-person study group, my progress wouldn't have been so fast... King Longyu, please don't be shy, feel free to ask me any questions."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Grandmaster Zhenyan?" Longyu Wang, dressed in a green gauze robe, smiled faintly.

"Haha, it's nothing. Reviewing the old helps one understand the new. As you all know, my understanding of the laws is almost at its limit. Besides studying secret techniques, I don't know what else to do... Maybe one day, discussing with you will inspire me and I'll break through to the Universe Venerable realm in one fell swoop."

King Zhenyan laughed heartily, showing a very good attitude.

suddenly.

Longyu Wang showed a hint of surprise and turned to look in the direction of the cosmic passage.

"King Longyu, what are you doing? Does the Nine Swords Venerable have something else for you to do?"

"Wang Zhenyan asked curiously."

“This…” King Longyu glanced at King Zhenyan, somewhat embarrassed: “You will find out soon, won’t you?”

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Just tell me already, you're driving me crazy!" King Zhenyan said with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, King Longyu, since we will all find out soon, what's the point of you hiding it? Tell us quickly."

The Black Mist King also spoke from the side.

“Then I’ll say it…” Longyu King glanced at Zhenyan King and then said, “I just learned some news from the Nine Swords Venerables’ group chat. Dragon Whale King, who obtained the Ancestral God Sect’s inheritance token a few years ago, has returned. He has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm.”

"What! The Dragon Whale King has become a Universe Venerable! This is unbelievable!"

The Black Mist King also glanced at the True Yan King, and finally understood why the Jade King had been so hesitant to speak earlier.

Both the Dragon Whale King and the True Birth King are renowned and invincible powerhouses among the human race.

In terms of strength, True King Yan is superior, and his talent is also more outstanding. After all, the Dragon Whale King has lived for over a trillion epochs, making him an absolute ancient being to them, even older than some cosmic venerables.

Logically speaking, the probability of True King breaking through to the Universe Venerable level should be far greater than that of Dragon Whale King, but unexpectedly, Dragon Whale King took this step first.

"Hehehe... It's nothing, it's nothing. Our human race has a new Cosmic Venerable, and he's even from the lineage of my Virtual Universe Company. We should be happy! Come... let's drink..."

King Zhenyan managed to force a smile.

King Black Mist and King Jade exchanged a glance but did not offer any words of comfort. They simply kept drinking with King True Stroke.

Virtual Universe...Ape-Man Temple...

After receiving the message from King Longyu, King Zhenyan's consciousness arrived here.

The Dragon Whale King has broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable.

Can he not be anxious?

If even the Dragon Whale King could break through, it means that the effects of the Ancestral God Sect's inheritance are far more powerful than he imagined.

If he can obtain a Legacy Token, his probability of breaking through to the Universe Venerable level will greatly increase.

Although he didn't have high hopes, he still found his teacher.

"Teacher, the Dragon Whale King has returned to the initial universe, and he has become a cosmic venerable one."

The thin, aged ape-man leader, covered in black fur, sighed softly: "Zhenyan, I know what you're thinking, but I really don't have the power to get you that inheritance token."

The Dragon Whale King, whose talent was inferior to his disciple's, had become a cosmic venerable. How could the ape-man leader not know what his disciple was thinking?

“Teacher…is there really no hope at all? Didn’t you say before that I only need to pay half the value of the inheritance token, and the clan will grant me one? Teacher, please help me this once. Consider it a loan from me. Once I break through to the Universe Venerable, I will repay you double in the future.”

King Zhenyan asked, still somewhat unwilling.

"No." The old black ape shook his head again. He explained, "You've been cultivating in Chaos City, so you don't know much about the affairs of your race. The vast ape race has countless branches... To cultivate the geniuses of those branches, each era requires a huge amount of resources. Take your Kahuns clan for example... Have you, the strongest member of the Kahuns clan, ever contributed to the clan's resources? It's all borne by me, the leader. How many branches like your Kahuns clan are there in our ape race? More than ten thousand!"

"When I recently upgraded the clan temple, I sold a few treasures to give those little guys a better cultivation environment... If you need two or three ordinary treasures, I won't be stingy. But the inheritance token, even at half its value, would cost close to two thousand treasure points. Where would I get that?"

……

"Teacher, it is my fault. I will take responsibility for the Kahuns tribe in the future."

Although Zhenyan Wang was dejected, he knew that what his teacher said was true. His teacher was indeed a Universe Venerable, but among the Universe Venerables, his strength was not considered great. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of the entire ape-man race, and all the pressure was on his teacher...

He was able to cultivate in Chaos City for a long time without distraction because his clan did not need him to worry about them.

“Zhenyan…” the ape-man chieftain sighed and said, “I know you’re anxious. Wait a little longer. When the tribe is better off, I’ll help you apply again. Perhaps there’ll be a sliver of a chance.” “Master, I understand!”

……

The birth of a Cosmic Venerable among humans is an extremely important event, especially since this lucky individual was previously an invincible king.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Universe Venerable level, one's strength must be considerable.

The news began to spread throughout Chaos City.

Chaos City also gathered many powerful figures and geniuses from the five major human forces, and the news quickly spread throughout the five major forces.

While countless people were filled with envy, the powerful began to pay more attention to the lineage of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.

One Universal Venerable and two Universal Venerables are completely different concepts.

A single Cosmic Venerable must remain in the Cosmic Kingdom or family, but two Cosmic Venerables can each send one out on an adventure, greatly enhancing both their ability to accumulate resources and their deterrent power.

The key is the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, and another top genius, Lu Qingshan. Although he doesn't show off, he is also at the peak of the King realm. With his cultivation speed, he might break through to the Universe Venerable realm one day. In that case, the Qianwu lineage will have three Universe Venerables.

Thinking of this, many people were green with envy and secretly cursed the old man, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, for being so lucky!

Golden Wave Universe Kingdom, Barnes Star Region.

"The teacher summoned me?"

The Demon King's consciousness, which was dealing with family affairs, entered the virtual universe and arrived at the exclusive plane of his teacher, the Dark Demon Venerable.

"teacher."

The Demon King bowed respectfully.

"Demon Heart, how's your investigation going regarding the last matter? Any results?" the Dark Demon Venerable asked.

"Ah." Demon King didn't expect his teacher to pay attention to this matter. Last time, he thought his teacher had just mentioned it casually.

He dared not be perfunctory and quickly said, "Teacher, after hearing your analysis last time, I went back and investigated. It seems that there really is something wrong with Thor. After he went to Jinlan Star, he disappeared. I used some information about him from before to find his divine kingdom, and found that the divine kingdom had been shattered and he was dead."

"It was probably murder to silence them." The Dark Demon Venerable's tone was serious: "Did you mention this to the King of Ten Thousand Laws of the Virtual Universe Company?"

"No, it was just a guess, there was no evidence to prove it, so I didn't tell him about it."

In truth, Demon King did not want to tell the King of Ten Thousand Laws, after all, the last time the Bloodthirsty King almost wiped out a branch of his family.

"Demon Heart, the Dragon Whale King, the senior brother of the Myriad Dharma King, has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm. He was already invincible as a King before, and after his breakthrough, his strength is probably not much weaker than mine. The Dragon Whale King only had the opportunity to break through to the Universe Venerable realm with the help of the Myriad Dharma King. If you don't resolve this grudge in time, and if the Myriad Dharma King mentions to the Dragon Whale Venerable that you injured his disciple, then..."

The Dark Demon Lord didn't say much more after that, knowing that his disciple should understand.

"Master, I understand. I will now compile the whole story and send it to the King of Ten Thousand Dharmas, and apologize to him."

The Demon King quickly spoke up.

He was not afraid of being granted the title of king and immortality.

But the Supreme Being of the Universe...

That person was on par with his teacher; if they came knocking, they could wipe out the entire Barnes family, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

If he cannot resolve the grudge in time, he will not only offend a peak-level King, but also a Universe Venerable. He will even leave a bad impression on his teacher because of this.

"It's good that you know what's important. I don't think that King Wanfa is an unreasonable person. After understanding the details, he shouldn't hold it against you. In the future, you should use your brain more and not fall into other people's traps."

"The disciple understands."

The Demon King knelt on the ground, not daring to refute.

……

The initial universe was a dwelling in the green mountains.

Lu Qingshan looked at his second senior brother, who was dressed in a golden robe and looked very confident, and showed a speechless expression.

This second senior brother is far too high-profile.

He had barely entered Chaos City when the entire city was already abuzz with excitement, and even he received congratulatory messages from several friends.

At this moment, even those geniuses below the Immortal level who cultivate in Chaos City probably know that the human race has gained a great cosmic venerable.

"Junior Brother Qingshan, when we met in the virtual universe last time, I told you that I brought you a bottle of fine wine this time. Take a look and see if you like it."

The Dragon Whale King placed a large bottle of bright red wine on the table.

Lu Qingshan glanced at it and showed a surprised expression.

"It's actually Purple Fire Ape Wine... Second Senior Brother has gone to great lengths."

"Haha, it's nothing. I have connections in the Ancestral God Sect and can buy directly from the Purple Fire Ape without any middlemen taking a cut. If you need it in the future, I can help you buy it for you at a price that's at least 30% cheaper."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Lu Qingshan expressed his gratitude and accepted the Purple Fire Ape Wine, but he did not voice the words hidden in his heart.

The connections my senior brother has within the Ancestral God Sect are actually his own!
That's right, it was with the help of the Ghost King's clone that the Dragon Whale King was able to purchase this bottle of wine from the special life form, the Purple Fire Ape.
