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

Chapter 352 A Gift Again, the Most Correct Choice
Thunder Mountain, a virtual universe.

Inside the Green Mountain Residence, a three-meter-tall, strong young man pushed open the door and walked in.

"Teacher... I heard you've taken on another junior brother, and he's a member of the Primordial Secret Realm like me?"

Wu Man walked in and said in a very casual manner.

Lu Qingshan glanced at his disciple, smiled, and said, "That's right... Yi Yun has good talent, so I'll take him as my disciple."

“Teacher…” Wu Man walked to the opposite side of Lu Qingshan, picked up the wine on the table and poured a cup for his teacher before asking, “Yi Yun was only slightly stronger than me before, so why is he suddenly so powerful?”

"Want to know?"

Lu Qingshan naturally guessed what his disciple was thinking.

"Yes, I do." Wu Man nodded hurriedly and said aggrievedly, "Teacher, I finally managed to fight my way back to the Primordial Secret Realm at the Domain Lord level, but I was eliminated in the last World Lord qualification battle. It was too tragic... Teacher, please guide me. I don't need to pass the 16th level of the Heavenly Bridge, 15 levels will be fine."

Among Lu Qingshan's disciples, apart from Ling Xi, only Wu Man was unrestrained in front of him.

Seeing his eager expression, Lu Qingshan smiled. His disciple from Manka Star had indeed been switching back and forth between the Primordial Secret Realm and the Primordial Secret Realm.

The first place winner of the Genius Battle entered the Primordial Secret Realm. He was directly eliminated in the first qualifying round of the Universe Level and entered the Primordial Secret Realm. After breaking through to the Domain Lord level and becoming a disciple of Lu Qingshan, he successfully entered the Primordial Secret Realm again. He broke through before the World Lord qualifying round, so naturally there was no suspense, and he fell into the Primordial Secret Realm again.

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I only bestowed a treasure upon your junior brother Yi Yun. If you want one, I can give you one."

"Teacher, you are so kind."

Wu Man was overjoyed.

These days, Yi Yun is enjoying immense prestige in their Primordial Secret Realm... He has crossed 16 levels of the Heavenly Bridge, and his understanding of the laws surpasses that of nearly half of the members of the Primordial Secret Realm. He is certain to enter the Primordial Secret Realm in the next qualifying battle, and countless people envy him.

Wu Man was also very envious...

But now that the teacher has agreed to bestow upon him the same treasure as Yi Yun, wouldn't his strength also improve rapidly?

"There's no need for that. You are my disciple, so of course I will take responsibility for you. Although that treasure is very effective, you still need to work hard yourself. How much do you still lack in your understanding of spatial travel?"

Lu Qingshan knew that this disciple, after analyzing the essence of 108 spaces, had begun to follow the path of instantaneous teleportation based on the laws of space.

"Teacher, are you testing your disciple's knowledge?" Wu Man laughed heartily, then moved swiftly, displaying his understanding of the laws he had mastered within the manor.

After watching for a while, Lu Qingshan raised his hand to stop him, then nodded and said, "Not bad... It seems you haven't been slacking off these days. Although you can't use spatial teleportation, the difference isn't that big. Using the treasure I gave you, there's still a good chance you'll successfully comprehend spatial teleportation."

Wuman's progress is not slow.

Among his disciples, Wu Man's talent was not top-notch, not as good as Ling Yu and Jin Jian, and still quite far behind Lu Lingxiao. However, he asked for advice the most and had a powerful background.

As Wu Man progressed, his status on Manka Star also rose rapidly. Now, even the cosmic venerable being on Manka Star often gives him guidance and regards him as his most outstanding junior.

These conditions far surpass those of Lu Qingshan's other disciples.

"Thank you, teacher. I will definitely work hard to understand spatial travel as soon as possible and cross the 15-story Heavenly Bridge!"

Wu Man was overjoyed.

He then sat down to eat and drink with his teacher, and asked him a few questions at the table. After a long while, he finally left the virtual universe satisfied.

A few months later.

A spaceship appeared in the Primordial Secret Realm. The people from the virtual universe transportation department on board split into two groups: one group went to the star fragment where Yi Yun lived, and the other group went to the star fragment where Wu Man lived.

"Your Highness Wuman, this important item requires your personal signature upon receipt."

The staff in the virtual universe transportation department were very polite.

After meeting Wu Man, they carefully took out a silver-white box.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Man was very happy and quickly signed for the goods. He then carried the silver box back to his manor.

After he left, several transportation department staff members boarded the spaceship and departed.

"Prince Wuman's strength will probably increase as well."

One of the immortal deity staff members thought to himself.

These days, the goods being delivered to the Primordial Secret Realm are all being handled by their team.

They naturally suspected that Prince Yi Yun's rapid increase in strength was related to the goods that King Wanfa had entrusted them to transport.

The goods inside that silver box must be extremely precious, many times more important than all of their lives.

Although everyone knew the contents of the box were valuable, no one had any other thoughts.

During their cargo transport, they are monitored by the virtual universe the entire time. Moreover, to do this job, one must have a clean background. Those who are alone will not be hired. If they have bad intentions, not only will they lose their lives, but their families will also be implicated.

The longer you work at Virtual Universe Company, the more you realize just how powerful the company is.

Those who had similar thoughts before were punished with at least a lifetime of imprisonment in the Starfield Prison.

A secret room in the villa.

Wu Man carefully entered the password and opened the silver box. Inside the box was nothing but an instruction manual and a spatial ring.

"What needs to be preserved so carefully?"

Wu Man was somewhat surprised.

He glanced at the instruction manual.

"Snow Demon Flower, I've never heard of it... It can't be stimulated by external forces, no wonder it needs to be kept in a spatial ring. If it's accidentally stimulated, it will take effect immediately."

Wu Man felt that this treasure was very magical, and even he had never heard of it before.

I looked at the detailed user manual.

Wu Man carefully put away the spatial ring, and his consciousness entered the virtual universe. Inside a massive palace on the planet Manka.

Wu Man stepped inside.

On both sides of the palace, countless servants knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Your Highness Wuman."

"You may all leave." Wu Man waved his hand, and all the servants left. Then he looked at the man sitting on the throne, wearing a golden crown.

"Father."

He spoke.

This is the emperor of Manka Star, and also Wu Man's father. He was once a top genius of the Virtual Universe Company, just like Wu Man. Once he broke through to the Immortal God level, he was crowned a king.

He is now at the pinnacle of being a king.

"Little Wu Man, you haven't been home much lately. Tell me, what do you need my help with this time you're back?"

The man gave a slight smile.

“Father, I would like to ask you to help me purchase a treasure,” Wu Man said.

"Uh, what treasure? Tell me, and I will definitely help you buy it," the Emperor of Manka Star said with a smile and a calm expression.

"Father, I would like to ask you to help me buy a Snow Demon Flower."

Wu Man spoke calmly, and after he finished speaking, he carefully observed his father's expression.

"The Snow Demon Flower?"

The emperor of Manka Star, who had been calm, stood up abruptly upon hearing the name, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"Wu Man, who told you that you have something called the Snow Demon Flower? Is that a treasure you can even touch?"

"What's wrong, Father?"

Wu Man was somewhat surprised. He had only intended to bluff his father, but he hadn't expected his father to react so strongly.

"You probably only know the name. This Snow Demon Flower is a top-tier treasure that comes from outside our human territory. Don't even mention you, even I have only seen it once in all these years in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company."

The Emperor of Manka Star looked nostalgic and said earnestly, "As for other things, if you need them, I can buy them for you. But you shouldn't even think about this. Even if I sold everything I own, even Manka Star itself, I still couldn't afford it. Only our ancestor had a chance to obtain it, but even that's not something you can covet..."

He then added a reminder.

"You must never mention this in front of the ancestors. It is completely inconsistent with your current status, and the ancestors will probably be unhappy if they hear it."

"So precious..." Wu Man was somewhat incredulous.

My father's words are too exaggerated. Even if we sold all of our Manka Star, we still couldn't afford to buy it.
But when the teacher said he would bestow this treasure upon him, he seemed to agree without even blinking.

"Father, is this what you mean by the Snow Demon Flower?"

Wu Man raised his hand, and a Snow Demon Flower slowly condensed and appeared in his hand, a manifestation of the virtual universe.

"You really have seen the Snow Demon Flower!"

The emperor of Manka Star looked at the exquisite ice and snow flower with a hint of infatuation, for it was exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

Back then, that Snow Demon Flower required one trillion points to redeem in the company's treasury, but it was redeemed by a Universe Venerable not long after.

"Little Wuman, tell your father, where have you seen this thing before?"

"The Emperor of Manka asked expectantly."

"This thing... my teacher gave me one, but I couldn't find it online, so I came to ask my father. I didn't expect it to be so precious," Wu Man said, scratching his head.

"Your teacher... the King of Ten Thousand Laws..." Emperor Mankaxing was astonished: "Even if the King of Ten Thousand Laws is as powerful as an invincible king, he wouldn't just give such a precious treasure to his disciple so casually."

"Father, to be honest, why don't you believe me? The treasure has already been delivered to me. Otherwise, how would I know? Moreover, the teacher didn't just bestow it upon me. Yi Yun, the junior brother the teacher recently took on, is also in the Primordial Secret Realm, just like me. He recently passed through the 15th and 16th levels of the Heavenly Bridge. The teacher said it was with the help of this treasure."

Wu Man did not hide anything from his father.

He recounted how he envied Yi Yun's improved strength, went to his teacher to inquire, and how his teacher bestowed this treasure upon him.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Manka Star did not lose his surprise. Instead, he said, "Wu Man... when I asked you to become the disciple of the King of Ten Thousand Laws, it was the best decision I ever made in my life."

"Father, can you tell us something that no one else knows?" Wu Man said, speechless.

"You don't understand... You have no idea of ​​the value of this Snow Demon Flower. In the company's points treasury, it costs one trillion points to exchange for, and it's often out of stock... If it were to appear at the Hongmeng Auction, it would cost at least one trillion Chaos Units, and generally, it would be more than that price. Do you still think that your father is making a mountain out of a molehill?"

“One…one trillion…” Upon hearing this number, Wu Man was equally stunned. Only by using the most basic Hunyuan unit could he understand what it represented.

"I actually went to my teacher and asked for a treasure worth one trillion Chaos Units?"

Wu Man was terrified.

Even the strongest heart will beat faster upon hearing this number.

"Father, what about this treasure?"

Wu Man said cautiously.

Emperor Manka thought for a moment and said, "You said that the King of Ten Thousand Laws not only bestowed it upon you, but also upon another disciple, Yi Yun. That means that this thing is nothing to your teacher, the King of Ten Thousand Laws. You can keep it for yourself. However, before using it... in order to achieve the best effect, you need to make many preparations. These days, you will stay in the palace, and I will help you make a usage plan. Once you are fully prepared, you can start using it. This way, you can achieve the greatest effect."

Yi Yun didn't understand the true value of the Snow Demon Flower, so he used it according to the rudimentary instructions his teacher gave him. He swallowed it whole, which inevitably led to some damage and waste.

Behind Wu Man is a powerful Manka Star, whose father is a peak-level King, so naturally he will help Wu Man make the most of this treasure.

One year later.

With everything prepared, Wu Man began to use the Snow Demon Flower under his father's watchful eye.
