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

Chapter 353 Understanding Time Slowdown, Endless Solitude
[Your disciple, Wu Man, has mastered spatial travel and received a thousandfold return; your understanding of the laws of space has greatly improved.]

Several years later, a notification sounded out of nowhere.

"Wu Man's comprehension is not bad. He actually managed to understand a small branch of the teleportation technique from just one Snow Demon Flower."

In a villa on Thunder Island, the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.

Wu Man's understanding of the laws was actually not as good as Yi Yun's, whom he had just taken on as a disciple. There was still a considerable gap between them. Lu Qingshan did not expect him to succeed in one fell swoop. He thought that with the help of the Snow Demon Flower, the other party would find the direction and then hone his skills for some time, and he should be able to break through. However, Wu Man brought him a little surprise.

Having grasped the essence of spatial travel, he has gained another disciple with the understanding of the laws of the 15th-level Heavenly Bridge, making him a Marquis-level disciple with such profound knowledge.

Following the prompt, countless experiences regarding the fundamental laws of space emerged.

Lu Qingshan slowly absorbed this vast amount of experience.

Space travel is a sub-branch of teleportation, and most of the cashback obtained is related to teleportation content.

The remaining small portion contains the content of the other major branches.

Just like before, time stopped.

It's not that once you've mastered it, there's no room for improvement; there's still a long way to go before you've reached perfection.

Take teleportation for example. A newly mastered King-level expert might not be able to teleport more than one light-year. But someone like Star Illusion King, who has a deep understanding of teleportation, can instantly reach any place on the Yanji Continent, which has a diameter of more than 1.8 light-years. The difference between them is enormous.

An extremely powerful, invincible king could teleport seven or eight light-years without any problem.

The Cosmic Venerable can teleport 1000 light-years in a single instant.

Besides.

There are also differences in spatial fluctuations.

Having just mastered teleportation, spatial fluctuations are very noticeable. The moment you teleport, others can easily sense you even from a great distance. Sometimes, teleportation can actually be more dangerous.

For a powerful being like Star Illusion King, spatial fluctuations are already extremely weak, making them undetectable from a great distance.

The Universe Venerable has mastered the complete laws of space. Even if he appears in front of a King-level expert in an instant, the expert will not be able to sense any changes in space.

Why is it said that killing a King-Sealing King is very simple for the Universe Venerable? As long as the King-Sealing King's coordinates are discovered, or the King-Sealing King is detected by the detector, the Venerable can teleport directly behind the King-Sealing King and kill him with a single slap.

Some immortal gods who have been granted the title of King, when facing a Supreme Being of the Universe, do not even know how they died!

Lu Qingshan's previous mastery of teleportation was only at a very preliminary stage. The teleportation distance was only a little over one light-year, and the spatial fluctuations were very obvious and could not be concealed. But now, after absorbing the memories brought back by Wu Man, he can clearly feel that his mastery of teleportation is constantly deepening, and his analysis of this branch is more profound.

"Nasus, write down these coordinates for me."

Lu Qingshan gave the instructions.

"Master, I've written it down."

Nasus replied in a deep voice.

"Ah."

Then a slight fluctuation appeared in the space, which was confined to the area of ​​the villa and was not sensed by the other powerful figures who lived on Thunder Island.

The next moment, Lu Qingshan appeared on a desolate mountain.

"How far."

he asked.

“Master, your teleportation this time was approximately 7.83 light-years.”

7.83 light-years!

One teleportation is equivalent to several teleportations by other peak-level King-level experts, and the spatial fluctuations generated by the teleportation are also significantly smaller.

Lu Qingshan then tried several more times.

The maximum distance he can teleport at this moment is basically around 7.5 light-years, sometimes farther and sometimes closer, which is related to the spatial changes between the two points.

This distance is already comparable to that of the previous Dragon Whale King and the True Evolution King, who were both invincible kings who were only slightly inferior in their fusion with the fundamental laws of space.

The reason they can travel such a distance is because they have mastered all the other branches under the fundamental laws of space, and have even integrated more than 90% of them. This has caused a qualitative change, and the distance they can teleport far exceeds that of other peak-level kings.

As for Lu Qingshan, apart from teleportation, he had very little mastery of the other two major branches of the laws of space, let alone the fusion of laws. The reason he could teleport such a long distance was entirely because his foundation was too solid. His understanding of the single branch of teleportation far exceeded the imagination of even the most invincible kings.

This can be understood as follows: his mastery is excellent, while the other kings and invincible ones are good, or even passable... and as long as one only needs to be passable or above, one can be considered to have completely mastered the art and begin to integrate, thus progressing towards becoming a cosmic venerable.

"If my understanding of the laws of space were to reach the level of a True King, how exaggerated would the distance I could teleport be? I'm afraid tens of light-years wouldn't be a problem."

Lu Qingshan secretly wondered what was going on.

After testing the teleportation changes, Lu Qingshan slowly walked into the secluded chamber, sat down on a futon, and took out a seven-colored lotus flower.

This is the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus that returned from the Snow Demon Flower. Its value... Lu Qingshan couldn't really assess it, but the previous two Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotuses helped his main body and Ghost King clone create an ultimate secret technique of immortality.

In terms of value, it is definitely comparable to a priceless treasure for Lu Qingshan.

However, it's impossible for anyone else to achieve the same effect as Lu Qingshan. The most terrifying deduction effect of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus can only be brought to its full potential by a powerful expert like Lu Qingshan with profound knowledge, allowing him to create the ultimate secret technique. Others might only be able to create a peak secret technique... in which case its value would be greatly reduced!
But no matter what, this Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus is definitely a thousand times, ten thousand times more precious than the Snow Demon Flower!
Even a temporary boost to comprehension is far beyond what the Snow Demon Flower can offer.

"Let's try how this Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus can help us comprehend the laws."

Having just absorbed too much experience from the fundamental laws of space, Lu Qingshan decided to clear his head and see if he could use a Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus to completely master the slowing-down of time.

He has now mastered two branches of time slowing, and to a considerable degree, establishing a solid theoretical foundation. As for the future, with the secret technique "Qingshan - Peak Edition of Time" as guidance, Lu Qingshan is not worried about lacking a direction for deduction. This "Qingshan - Peak Edition of Time" is a secret technique derived entirely from his own learning, making it a perfect fit for him.

"let's start!"

A divine force gently touched the surface of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus, and the lotus began to bloom, its seven leaves of different colors slowly unfurling.

A strange substance quietly appeared and was gradually absorbed by Lu Qingshan.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan's mind began to work at an incredibly fast pace, more than ten thousand times, even a hundred thousand times, faster than before.

"Time slows down..."

His consciousness seemed to enter a virtual world.

In this world, he began to continuously deduce the process of time slowing down, once, twice... countless times... Time passed, space changed, as if it did not exist in the world of consciousness.

During this process, Lu Qingshan encountered many problems and even discovered some unreasonable parts in "Qingshan - Peak Edition of Time", which he resolved and modified one by one.

This secret technique was, after all, returned from a long time ago. Lu Qingshan's understanding of the laws back then was far inferior to what he has now. It's normal that the most perfect solution from back then has some flaws for the present.

These problems are nothing in the face of powerful insight and thinking!
Lu Qingshan kept gaining insights and making deductions.

This process seemed to have taken thousands, tens of thousands of years... thousands of epochs, tens of thousands of epochs.

After a long while, Lu Qingshan slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but exhale.

His pupils gradually regained their clarity.

In reality, he didn't know how much time had passed, but in the world of consciousness, it seemed as if tens of thousands of epochs had passed for Lu Qingshan. Countless epochs had been spent deducing secret techniques in a narrow space of consciousness, and he dared not actively interrupt it. That feeling was too lonely and too painful!

At this moment, he even felt a sense of empathy for those powerful kings on the verge of collapse in the Ice Prison.

If he hadn't known he could break free on his own, if his understanding of the laws hadn't been constantly improving through simulations and deductions... that loneliness would definitely have had a significant impact on him.

"Time slowdown... I've finally mastered it."

This is the best news.

Based on the two smaller branches and with the assistance of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus, through endless deduction and simulation, he finally mastered the complete control of time slowing down.

At this point, Lu Qingshan had mastered all three major branches of the Time Law.

However, this does not mean that he has already become a cosmic sage.

The subsequent fusion of laws is equally difficult, no less difficult than mastering the three major branches individually.

After mastering the slowdown of time, Lu Qingshan attempted to fuse with the last bit of energy from the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Lotus... Although it was only for a moment, he experienced the difficulty of fusion.

"Becoming a Cosmic Venerable is indeed difficult."

He sighed.

To become a cosmic sovereign, one must not only fully comprehend the three major branches of the superior law, but also completely integrate the three branches. Only when all branches are combined into one can one be considered to have thoroughly comprehended a superior law and become a space sovereign or a time sovereign.

No wonder that since the birth of humanity, through trillions of epochs, there have only been a few thousand cosmic venerables.

The key point is that every cosmic master is resurrected after death, and their numbers do not decrease.

As for the powerful kings, although there are only 100,000 of them now, those are the 100,000 who are alive. The number of kings who have fallen in the long river of history and have not been resurrected is countless.

"Nasus, how long has it been since I finished my training?"

“Master, three years have passed.”

Three years? How short... Lu Qingshan teleported to an extremely high-end tavern located on the headquarters continent.

Drinking and listening to music.

It took me half a month of immersing myself in the wisdom of music from all corners of the primordial universe to finally dispel the slight discomfort in my heart.

……

A few days later, Lu Qingshan received a message.

His disciple, Wuman, crossed the 15-level Heavenly Bridge.

This news has naturally sparked another round of discussion among many people.

Many people witnessed Wu Man's strength during the last qualifying battle. Due to his rapid breakthrough, he was only at the bottom of the rankings even in the Primordial Secret Realm at the Realm Lord level.

Many people said he was too reckless, insisting on breaking through before the World Lord level qualifiers. If he had waited until after the World Lord qualifiers to break through, Wu Man would have become a member of the Primordial Secret Realm at the World Lord level as well.

Who would have thought that it would only be this long?
Wu Man relied on his own strength to fight his way through 15 levels of the Heavenly Bridge and gained the understanding of the laws of a master-level member of the Primordial Secret Realm. If a World Lord Qualification Tournament were held now, with his understanding of the laws, he might not be eliminated.

The speed of his advancement was so fast and unusual that many people naturally thought of his teacher, the Dharma King.

Like Yi Yun before him, Wu Man probably also obtained some valuable benefits from his teacher, Wan Fa Wang, which is why his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

Such speculation also circulated among the members of the core secret realm at the realm master level. These top geniuses were all envious and green with envy. If most of them didn't already have a king-level teacher, they would have wanted to kneel down in front of the King of Ten Thousand Laws and kowtow in worship.
