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

Chapter 348 Divine Kingdom, Venerable One of the Hong Alliance

Yu Baotang was very efficient. In just half a month, all the treasures that Lu Qingshan had purchased were transported to Chaos City.

After that, he quietly left the initial universe and teleported into his own divine kingdom.

Lu Qingshan's divine kingdom is extremely vast, initially possessing a diameter of ten trillion kilometers, and it continues to grow by absorbing passing spatial fragments...

Compared to the divine kingdoms of others, his divine kingdom was more stable and reliable.

Lu Qingshan looked up.

The World Tree's enormous body is rooted in the divine realm, its canopy covering the sky and stretching for over 200 million kilometers.

If a powerful figure who had accidentally wandered in were to witness such a scene, he would probably be scared half to death.

Some simple life forms have already been born in the Kingdom of God.

In the great rivers, you can see some fish and shrimp swimming... On land, some crawling animals and insects and birds are gradually appearing, but no intelligent life has yet been born.

This is the effect of the Fountain of Life; the rate at which life is born in other people's divine kingdoms is far slower.

"Mo Yun, come out."

Lu Qingshan said something.

The Moyun Vine quickly detached from Lu Qingshan's body and transformed into a hundred-meter-tall plant life form with countless vines swaying.

“Master… I can sense that your divine realm is very stable.”

Mo Yun Teng, being a Marquis-level Immortal, could naturally sense the changes in the Divine Kingdom.

Compared to its master's divine kingdom, its own divine kingdom seemed like a fragile piece of tofu.

It gives one an extremely safe feeling here.

"Mo Yun, I recently purchased some upgrade and evolution resources for you, which will give you an 80% chance of evolving into a 360-vine Perfect Mo Yun Vine. Now, go and absorb those treasures in my divine kingdom to evolve."

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan casually tossed a world ring over.

"Master... Waaah, you're so kind." Mo Yun Teng was overjoyed when she saw the piles of precious treasures in the World Ring.

"I will treat you well if you do anything for me. Go... evolve quickly, there is another deal I need you to complete."

"Yes, Master."

The massive body of the Moyun Vine soared into the air and went to a place far away from the World Tree. It took root on a huge mountain and began to devour the evolutionary treasures that Lu Qingshan had prepared for it.

The World Tree clone was still cultivating. With the help of the Ghost King clone's perspective, he could clearly see the manifest spacetime fundamental laws at the edge of Purple Thorn Island.

Under such favorable conditions, his speed of comprehending the laws was extremely fast. Lu Qingshan guessed that he should already be comparable to the first-class genius recognized by the golden finger.

As for myself, I have nothing to do for the time being.

Lu Qingshan cut down a several-meter-long green bamboo, made a fishing rod, and went to a river in the divine kingdom to fish.

In its pristine natural environment, the river is teeming with delicious and abundant fish. Within seconds of casting the line, a freshwater fish weighing over ten kilograms with bluish-green scales was caught.

Lu Qingshan drank wine and fished, living a very leisurely life.

Time passed by, and a month went by in the blink of an eye.

……

In the Ancestral Mystic Realm, on Purple Thorn Island, within the residence of the Blood Nether King.

"call out!"

Three purple beams of light shot out in all directions at such speeds that even a King-level expert would have difficulty seeing them.

Soon, two of the three purple lights gradually dissipated, leaving only the purple light at the entrance, which revealed the figure of Lu Qingshan's Ghost King clone.

"In just one month, I have cultivated the 'Thunder Light' technique to the level of three lightning beams, which is fast enough."

Feeling the wonderful effect of that move, Lu Qingshan smiled.

Cultivating this secret technique to the level of three lightning bolts means that the chance of escaping from enemies in the future will be greatly increased, with a two-thirds probability of not being caught.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan discovered another problem.

This lightning bolt wasn't actually a secret technique for escaping.

It can also be used as an offensive tactic.

When facing an enemy, his body instantly transforms into three bolts of lightning, each with the same aura and divine power. If attacked from three different locations, the enemy would be unable to distinguish which one is him. Even if he gets close and senses it, he will have already lost the initiative.

This is only the current state. If this secret technique is cultivated to perfection, then in an instant there will be nine purple lightning bolts, which will be completely unpredictable for the enemy.

The Ghost King's clone's strongest attack is currently its claw technique, which requires close-range combat to be most effective. Combining the two will undoubtedly produce unexpected results.

It can be used to attack or retreat. Since this lightning can be included in the secret technique "Eight Fists of the Thunder Beast", it is obviously not just a secret technique for escaping.

In addition to claw techniques, they can also be combined with attacking fist techniques such as Tiger Roar and Dragon Fury.

Lu Qingshan opened the gate of the mansion and looked at the manor next to it.

With one step, he appeared outside the Dragon Whale King's mansion.

"Blood Ghost King!"

"I have met the Blood Ghost King."

"Blood King, it's been a long time."

Upon Lu Qingshan's arrival, the inheritors of the Hongmeng greeted him warmly.

"Greetings, friends of the Hongmeng Alliance," Lu Qingshan replied with a smile.

The Dragon Whale King didn't have many connections within the Ancestral God Sect. Apart from himself, almost everyone present was a successor of the Hong Alliance. As soon as he entered the manor, Lu Qingshan saw the Seven Swords King sitting by the door, holding a gift list in his hand. "Seven Swords King... it's actually you, a genius, receiving gifts here." Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Greetings, Blood Nether King. Venerable Dragon Whale is a senior of my human race, and he has no disciples helping the Ancestral God Sect. As the youngest among the inheritors, I took the initiative to accept this task."

The Seven Swords King smiled shyly, his usual coldness completely gone.

The Dragon Whale King's status within the Hong Alliance underwent a dramatic change after he became the Dragon Whale Venerable. Even a genius like the Seven Swords King dared not be negligent.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, casually took out a thumb-sized piece of Ice Prison Star Stone, placed it on the gift table, and said, "This is my congratulatory gift."

"King Blood Ghost presented me with a piece of Ice Prison Star Stone."

The Seven Swords King carefully put away the Ice Prison Star Stone and wrote it down on the gift list.

He was secretly surprised. The relationship between Venerable Dragon Whale and King Blood Nether was indeed as good as rumored. He never expected that King Blood Nether would bring out such a precious congratulatory gift for Venerable Dragon Whale's breakthrough.

The Seven Swords King may be young, but that doesn't mean he's ignorant. This Ice Prison Star Stone is a resource that even King-level experts crave. A single piece, only the size of a fingernail, occasionally appears at high-level auctions and is worth trillions of Chaos Units. A piece this size could probably be exchanged for even the most ordinary treasure.

At this moment, many of the inheritors of the Hongmeng have already sent gifts, but none of them can compare to the Blood Nether King's Ice Prison Star Stone.

After delivering the gifts, Lu Qingshan entered the manor.

Looking at this familiar landscape, he was speechless. His second senior brother probably thought he would never come to the Ancestral God Sect, so he recklessly moved his Green Mountain Residence here.

He had just left when he heard hushed whispers behind him.

"The Blood Nether King is truly generous, offering such a large piece of Ice Prison Star Stone right off the bat."

"What's so special about this? The Blood Nether King obtained the 18th ranked treasure in the Treasure Land. Many people are speculating about what this treasure is. What's certain is that it is definitely a supreme treasure."

"A supreme treasure! A treasure that most universe venerables do not possess, yet Blood Nether King actually obtained it. Truly, this is the treatment reserved for a top genius."

"The Blood Nether King became a fourth-level inheritor in just a few hundred years. How can ordinary geniuses compare to him?"

Some people whispered their compliments, while others deliberately spoke in hushed tones...

Lu Qingshan just smiled faintly when he heard these words. It's normal for strong people to be flattered wherever they go, and he's already used to it.

"Brother Xueyou, you've finally arrived."

Upon entering the banquet hall, Venerable Dragon Whale, who was seated in the main seat, quickly stood up, walked over to Lu Qingshan's side, and patted his strong arm: "Let me introduce you to Venerable of our Hong Alliance."

The Dragon Whale Venerable pointed to the others and said, "This is Venerable Wu Tang, you should have met him before."

“Venerable Wutang.” Lu Qingshan raised his hand in a salute. This was the one who had previously clamored for Venerable Dragon Whale to treat him to a meal.

"Blood King, we've met several times but never had the chance to talk. This time, we'll definitely have a good drink together."

"no problem."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

His gaze fell upon another Cosmic Venerable of the Hong Alliance, revealing a hint of interest. Venerable Dragon Whale introduced him, "This is Venerable Kuxin of the Banyan Tree Clan of the Hong Alliance. He is an extremely powerful inheritor. Upon learning of my breakthrough, he specially came from the Banyan Tree Clan."

“Venerable Master Kuxin,” Lu Qingshan bowed.

"Blood Nether King, there's no need for you to be so polite."

Venerable Kuxin rose to return the greeting, showing even more courtesy than Venerable Wutang. Their Rongmu Clan was merely a vassal race of the human race, lacking the strength of human experts. They dared not show the slightest disrespect to a top genius like Blood Nether King, a special life form.

"This is the Bloodwing Venerable, a cosmic venerable of our human race."

This was a handsome man with six pairs of wings, rather aloof, who simply nodded at Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan responded calmly as well.

It can only be said that Venerable Dragon Whale has quite a bit of influence, as three Universe Venerables have come, and almost all the King-level powerhouses are present.

The banquet was extremely extravagant, with the finest wines and delicacies, costing hundreds of millions of yuan per table.

The main seat was even more extraordinary.

The Dragon Whale King also took out two bottles of Purple Fire Ape Wine and enjoyed them with several Universe Venerables. Lu Qingshan was naturally seated in the main seat.

"Brother Xueyou, try these dishes. I'm not bragging, but you definitely won't find these anywhere else except here."

"is it?"

Lu Qingshan cut off a piece of venison and took a bite.

"How was it?" Venerable Dragon Whale asked curiously.

"Fresh and delicious."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

The Dragon Whale Venerable laughed loudly: "Haha, that's for sure. This is the most luxurious set meal I specially ordered from the headquarters of our human virtual universe company, the Continental Hundred Flavors Restaurant."

……

The banquet lasted for a day and a night before it ended, during which Lu Qingshan and several Universe Venerables from the Hongmeng got to know each other.

Venerable Wutang and Venerable Kuxin were both very polite.

Although the Bloodwing Venerable was initially aloof, after learning about the glorious deeds of the Blood Nether King during their conversation, he immediately considered him a kindred spirit, indicating that they were of the same kind, and the two ended up communicating even more.

After the banquet, Lu Qingshan exchanged contact information with several cosmic venerables before getting up to leave.

He looked in the direction of Zijing Island Square.

Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to figure out how to recharge the Time Compass with some energy.
